The WINSTONs and the FOUNTAIN/FONTAIN family were much entertwined. The DABNEY & FOUNTAIN families were Huegenots, and both related to WINSTON family in VA. Robert F. was
evidently son of William C. who was son of Isaac, who was son of ?Anthony?
They were said to be from Buckingham Co. VA. In Wilson Co, TN. They were
related to a Huddleston family. Several people have searched for years to
ascertain just who Isaac was descended from. One clue that I think is important
is that they had a son with name Geddes/Gaddes. The name was pronounced
Gaddis, but spelled Geddes. The Geddes came from the William Bobby WINSTON
have seen last name as HAMER
George's father was from England/Austrailia and created the "shaped note" methodolgy used in old hymn books.
Arthur's daughter came to visit last year. She called him George "kaimee", long "e".
George Howard Kyme wrote a family history. My aunt has a copy, made some notes and had to return it. Cindy probably has a copy. Genevia Alice was only mentioned as his mother, no family information. Evidently, not necessarily proud of where he came from. That's too bad. We Pool/Poole's are nice people and most of us are also educated.
'Course the stories my Dad told about Uncle Spark were not too flattering. He was an old timey street corner preacher who died of cirrhosis of the liver if that tells you anything. he had at least 5 wives. But Daddy always spoke so kindly of Alice and how she could sing!

George emmigrated to Australia sometime after the UK 1871 census where he was recorded (aged 14yrs) living with his widowed mother, three brothers & one sister at "Holme Nook" in the village of Lumb, District of Haslingden, Lancashire, but before the 1881 census as there is no record of him on it. George married Alice Maria and they had 9 issue. Ada married Albert Francis Christopher MEYER. Details of George Leonard are not known. It is not known if Thomas Howard married. He died age 74yrs in 1962 at Moonie Ponds. Victoria. Australia. Catherine May married Albert Edward HANCOCK. William Herbert married Alice May TURNER. Alice Isabel married Herbert Thomas PARKER. Bessie Emma married Frank Mcgregor MITCHELL. John Robert married Isla Eileen Richmond BENSON. Allan Gladstone married Nellie STANLEY. In the early 1900s, George disappeared as per a comment on his son, Allan Gladstone KYME’s service record at the NAA, that his father’s whereabouts were 'unknown'. There is no record of George’s death on the Vic. BDMs. Research is continuing. Alice Maria appears to have died in an institution, because the names of her parents have been omitted, which was the usual procedure for patients in care.

ITEMS FROM DELPHOS
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Halley's little boy aged about eight
years, took suddenly ill on Wednesday evening and died
the same night. The cause of this sudden death has not
been learned at this writingHally, Thomas Francis
Delphos Republican, February 15, 1901
We regret to announce the death of Thomas Francis Hally,
which occurred at his home in Delphos, Sunday February
10, 1901 at 11 a.m., the result of paralysis of which he first
felt symptoms in the Concordia land office in 1884,
whither he went on matters pertaining to his farm west of
Delphos. The disease gradually increased and spread, but
he pluckily continued at his trade here until a few years
ago, he was compelled to give up his shop and take the
best care of himself possible until the end.
Deceased was born in New Castle, County
Tipperary, Ireland Dec 24, 1841 and was therefore 58
years, 1 month and 16 days old.
He was apprenticed early to the trade of shoemaking
and became a skilled workman. He came to America in
April 1866, following a tour of England and Wales.
Landing in Yonkers, N.Y. he proceeded to Cincinnati,
where he was stricken with cholera. Recovering he came
to Atchison, Kansas in 1869, and took a claim there, but
having severe attacks of the ague, he abandoned the
claim and returned to Yonkers and opened a shoe shop.
From Yonkers he went to Hinsdale, Mass., where he met
and married Mary Conden, Sept 15, 1871; thence to
Pittsfield, Mass, where he established a home, worked at
his trade and where three children - David, Alice- Mrs.
Raymond Brown- and John were born.
With his family he came to Kansas in 1878 and
located on the farm west of town which he owned at the
time of his death, and opened a shoe shop on the north
side of the square where he worked for many years, until
failing health compelled him to abandon the bench. Four
children have been born in Delphos, Patrick, John 2nd -
the first John died in Massachusetts- and the second
John in Delphos, 1900, just twenty years to a day from
the date of the death of his brother in Massachusetts-
Thomas and Maurice.
Tom Hally, as we knew him best here, was a fine
specimen of the Irish gentleman; a great reader and
student of affairs, and had a memory that easily retained
whatever he desired, courteous, obliging, industrious, he
had a fund of humor which was always ready for his
friends’ entertainment. He was a good citizen, a loyal
friend, a kind husband and generous father. He will be
missed from among us, and the sympathy of a wide circle
of friends is extended to the bereaved wife and family.
Funeral services were held at the Catholic Church
Tuesday at 10 a.m., Rev. Father Hoeller conducting.
Rest in peace, spirit of a good man.
Mr. Hally leaves a good farm west of Delphos and a
policy in the A.O.U.W. and Woodman Lodges for $2000.

IN MEMORIAM
DIED. Tuesday evening August 14, John Halley aged 18
years. The funeral was held Thursday, August 16 at the
Catholic Church in this city, Rev. Peter Hoeller officiating,
and the remains were deposited in the Catholic Cemetery
east of town.
John was taken sick with typhoid fever about two
weeks ago, which later developed into brain fever. He was
unconscious from the time he was taken sick until merciful
death relieved him. Only by short intermittent periods
would the light of reason come into his eyes and his
cheerful nature assert itself, even in the face of the grim
Angel of death.
Death is always unwelcome, but when it strikes a
youth full of promise, with field of fortune still untrod, the
burden is doubly hard to bear. The high school class of
1900 with the memory of the happy school days still in
mind, bore all that was mortal of John Halley to the grave,
and paid their last respects at the "gate of a life Elysian,
whose portal we call death".
Could human language, the words of friends, assuage
their grief, the burden of the bereaved ones would be easier
to bear. A host of friends will mourn this boy as a brother
and can only comfort the bereaved with the assurance that
Angel eyes will watch for your coming when life's dark
day is done, and you are again united with John, where
there is "neither tears nor sorrow nor pain nor death".
Mr. and Mrs. Thos.. Hally and family take this
opportunity to thank their friends who so kindly assisted
them during the sickness and death of their son and
brother, John Hally.
