Salina Rebecca Follis1

F, #6532, b. 27 November 1915, d. 26 February 1987
  • Relationship: 2nd cousin 1 time removed of Ralph Page
  • She was born on 27 November 1915 in Aldergrove, British Columbia, Canada.1,2
  • She was the daughter of Robert Follis and Lillian Golden Austin.1
  • There are two border corssing records dated the same day that are conflicting and confusing. One refers to her family name as Kerr, nee Folis Clark but the Clark name has an arrow pointing back up to Kerr so I don't know what they intended to convey with that. Both records refer to her husband Stanley.
    A transcript of interviews found on the back sode of the border crossing record of Austin Stanley Kerr and Salina sheds some light on this. It appears she tried to cross with Stanley Kerr who she was not married to. They were both drunk and denied permission to cross due to being drunk and lying to border agents. on 22 April 1939 in Blaine, Whatcom, Washington, USA.3,2,4
  • The marriage between Salina Rebecca Follis and Alexander Martin Clark was dissolved on 10 January 1961 in Rossland, British Columbia, Canada.5
  • She died on 26 February 1987 in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, at age 71.6

Family 1: Alexander Martin Clark b. 27 Sep 1909, d. 28 Aug 1979

Family 2: William George Haywood b. 22 Feb 1911, d. 4 Dec 1983

  • She married William George Haywood between 1949 and 1965. Salina was listed as Mrs Salina Clark in her father's obituary and she was married in 1965 per the Canada voter list. Her marriage to Alexander Clark was dissolved in 1961 so it's possible they were married soon after that but I found no record of a marriage.8,5,7,9

Jellis Fonda1

M, #4511, b. 13 January 1750, d. 1839
  • Major Jellis J., the only son of Jacob, born January 13th, 1751, married, first, November 5th, 1774, Maria Mynderse; secondly, Catrina, daughter of Hendricus Veeder, in 1783. This was the heroic Jellis J., of the Revolution, one of the earliest, most stirring and unhesitating patriots of Schenectady. On the first report of a shot from Lexington, this young brave, who had already tasted military life, just married, and surrounded by the comforts of considerable wealth, immediately raised and commanded the company of Schenectady minute men, numbering more than 100 men. It is impossible in a short notice like this, to follow him in his varied exploits. He was always ready for duty, and prompt at the post of danger. I will illustrate, by one incident, the estimation in which his bravery was held. In 1777, when Sir William Johnson, with his Scotch retainers, had fortified themselves in "Johnson Hall," Generals Schuyler, Ten Broeck and Herkimer, with a large body of militia, went there to reduce them. When, out of the whole number, General Schuyler selected Captain Fonda, from his known fearlessness of character, to command a forlorn hope of 200 men for the assault, of which his company of minute men formed one-half. The assailing forces were without cannon. But when this brave officer in the lead, under the eye and direction of the noble Schuyler, shouted on his column to the assault, with undaunted dash (for Fonda was in deadly earnest), Sir John immediately lowered his flag and surrendered without firing a gun. Fonda was ever afterwards called, wherever known, one of the most fearless of men.

    Major Jellis J., died in 1839, aged about eighty-eight years. His wife Catrina died October 19th, 1828, aged nearly seventy-four years.1,2
  • He was born on 13 January 1750.1,2
  • He was the son of Jacob Jellis Fonda and Maria van Petten.1
  • He died in 1839.1
