Notes:

From Nan: Tumis build a stone house on the Latimer road in which they lived. This house was featured in a painting by Keirstead which is on the wall at Nan's house. Nan also has a little spoon with the initials CWS (Catherine
Wartman Snook). Nan said that there were twelve spoons given to her as a wedding present made of coin silver inscribed with these initials and nan feels fortunate to have one.



They had a child Snook which Nan says is easily traced. Glen Snook has the information. Nan has it down on something too.

Notes:

These are notes from a conversation with Nan over the phone from New Jersey:



"Somewhere in our ancestry we have the blood of Bohemian royalty. Bohemia is a small Eurpoean country in the neighborhood of Holland.



"Abraham(?) Wartman became a cooper. A cooper is a man who makes wooden conatiners which were used as household items back in the 15th, 16th or 17th century such as barrels and pails for carrying water, like you've seen milk ma
ids in movies carrying.



"It was either he or his son (John?) who came down the St. Lawrence toward Kingston and chose a property on which to build.



"This property is behind the Dupont plant right on the lake shore, and still has the original house standing on it.



"There he built a nicely proportioned stone house. It was in a beautiful location.

He had a daughter Catherine and two sons Peter and John.
