Clearly he worked his way out of that childhood of hardship, malnutrition and death so that his own children and descendants might never face the same misery.
I wish the US had taken that good of death records across the states. Heck, my 2x great grandmother was one of the 5 siblings that lived to adulthood out of 15. This was 1881-1900 Eastern TN and no records or graves exists of the deceased children’s names let alone death dates. Incredible poverty in that rural region.
You would have to find out exactly where they lived and go to the cemeteries there,just start looking at headstones.. Hopefully there not weathered away.. If you find Churches around where they lived they have baptismal death and burial records, that's when you would find out more.
@@starriderkittykat9064 Churches in the US do not have the extensive records that exist in many parts of Europe and the UK. Because the "Church" was established by the government, they kept those kinds of records. In the US, many "churches" are financed and kept running by the congregation...no government entities are allowed.
Not modest at all.especially in the days when people had paupers graves or no gravestones. But he worked his way up in the days when class mattered and money was passed down in families. Well done him.x
My Grandmother had 13 children from early 1920 to the early 40s,my mom was born in 1939. They Lived in a very poor neighborhood in Providence RI, and all her children survived, But I know at some point some of her children were put into an orphanage for about a year because she had so many and all the little babies needed attention. My mom was one that was sent there. My Grandma got all her children back and must had had allot of Grandchildren and great grandchildren. My Grandparents on my mom's side came from the Azores in Portugal and on my father's side they came from Sweden,im third generation in the United States.. I can trace my 25 Great Grandfather back to 1130s,he was Earl of Orkny island in Scotland, He is now St Ronald,his name is Rögnvald Kali Kolsson and am trying to find out about his parents,I know that he was a Knight's Templar and wrote part of the Viking Saga's.. And someone in my family was a Free Mason and helped build the Rosslyn Chapel.. I love to find out more about them and on my mom's side,I know nothing about..
I'm laughing to myself about the fact that the lovely Nigella believes that her Great x 2 Grandfather, Barnett Salmon's grave is "modest". It is the opposite of that and would have cost a fortune both then and now.
@3:21 Wow... her distant relative Joseph Lyons looks a lot like Albert Einstein (with well done hair that is... wink)!!! OR probably Einstein looked a lot like Joseph since the Prof. was born in 1879.

What a beautiful store
I am always smitten with Nigella.
Me too 😍

TN didn't start keeping death records until 1908

Barney worked hard to lift his family out of poverty.

I think she means plain and not ornate: by the standards of High Victoriana, it is quite simple.

Sadly, no birth control either...
Shows how rich you are to look at THAT grave as modest!
Who cares?
She seemed only interested in knowing if her family were rich.
