2956. Frances Elizabeth Jackson-1788
Dr. Anthony L. Troha writes that he has "obtained a photograph of the Mooney Family plot marker. On the side of the monument facing the cameraman is the following inscription:
Frances Elizabeth Jackson
Wife of W. M. Mooney
Born Rockaway, N.J. Oct. 24, 1842
Died Verona, N.J. Jan. 23, 1933(these lines are all centered on the monument but cannot be centered in these notes. Also on this monument is carved the info on Walworth and his first wife, Frances' sister Caroline. That info is in their notes.)
Frances promised her older sister Caroline that she would marry Caroline's husband (Walworth Mooney) when Caroline was dying, thus ensuring that Caroline's children would be raised by her sister.
"Walworth's first wife, Caroline Amelia, died shortly after the birth of their fourth child in 1875. He then married her younger sister, Frances Elizabeth. Caroline, having extracted the promise of the marriage from Walworth, thus insured that her sister would care for the children."
Carved on the monument, found at findagrave.com, is a record of Walworth, and both of his wives. (Their data is in their notes.)
Walworth Merritt Mooney,
Born in Chazy, N.Y.
April 5, 1833
Died at Ausable Chasm, N.Y.
Dec. 15, 1914.Note from Dr. Anthony L. Troha: "A note left by the poster states "w/o Walworth Merritt Mooney", but it is not clear if he means that their husband is buried elsewhere or something else. Note that the place where Walworth M. Mooney lived in New York State was originally spelt "Au Sable Chasm", but more recent usage is to write it as "Ausable Chasm". Other nearby placenames still retain the original spelling, "Au Sable", which is French for "with sand", descriptive of the river that bears this name and flows through the deep gorge or "chasm". Walworth's birthplace, Chazy, is situated in Clinton County, New York."
Walworth's sons, Henry Seward and Charles, half-brothers, both drowned in that river in 1896 and so are not on the 1900 census below. "The Ogden Family in American" (see source for citation) says that Walworth and his first wife Caroline Amelia Jackson had 4 children and that he and his second wife Frances Elizabeth, Caroline's younger sister, had 3 children.
Continuing from Dr. Troha: "It appears that Walworth M. Mooney owned horse-nail factories in Montréal and Au Sable Chasm, which explains why they were living in Montréal when his first wife, Caroline, died. I also found evidence that his children, Henry Seward Mooney and Caroline J. Mooney, both attended McGill University, which is located in Montréal, and Caroline may be the author of an article published in a 1935 issue of The Journal of American History."

According to the book, A Century and a Half of Pittsburg and her People, Vol. III
He received his education in the public schools of Mount Savage, Maryland, and Johnstown, PA, and in 1860 began to work in a rolling mill in the latter place, remaining two years. On Aug 1, 1862, he enlisted as a private in Company B., One Hundred and Thirty-third Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, for nine months and participated in the latter part of the battle of Antietam as well as the battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville.

In 1868, he moved to Reading, where he worked ten years in the mill of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Company, returning in Jan 1879, to Pittsburg. He was there employed in the National Tube Work for sixteen years after which he took charge of a portiion of the rolling mill for the Shoenberger Company until July 1900, when he retired. Twenty three years ago he built the house which has been his home since the time of its completion.
Since Sep 1869, he has been a member of Lodge No. 62, Free and Accepted Masons, Reading. In politics he has always adhered steadfastly to the principles of the Republican party. He was brought up in the faith of the Methodist Episcopal church.

I found the obituary for Susan Louisa Neff née Wood, who preceded her mother in death. The original can be found at
http://www.rtlibrary.org/iron_era/1897/1897-07-23.pdf , but I have transcribed this for you:Obituary of Mrs. Susan Louisa Neff née Wood
from "The Iron Era" of Friday, July 23, 1897 (Volume XXVII, Number 35, Page 4, Column 3) published in Dover, Morris County, New Jersey"SUSAN L. NEFF.
Mrs. Susan L. Neff, wife of the late M. Phelps Neff, died at the late residence of her father, Freeman Wood, on Prospect street, shortly before midnight last night, after an illness of several months' duration. Mrs. Neff was born at Rockaway, this county, and spent the later years of her life in this city. Her husband, M. Phelps Neff, who belonged to a family of great prominence in Cincinnati, died some twelve years ago in that city, in which Mr. and Mrs. Neff lived after their marriage. During her residence in Dover, Mrs. Neff was a faithful and devoted member of the Presbyterian Church. In disposition Mrs. Neff was sunny and cheerful and her manner was most gracious and kindly, winning for her a host of loving friends. She is survived by her only child, Stewart M. Neff. The funeral will be held next Monday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock, from her late residence, 43 Prospect street. The Rev. Dr. W. W. Halloway will officiate. Interment at Rockaway."
Oscar B. Robbins book, pg 18; his informant has said that Phelph's wife, Susan, had died 20 Jul 1869, but the 1880 census proves that 1869 date is an error. Susan and their son are living with her parents in the 1880 census for Dover, Morris County, NJ. So Susan went home sometime between 1870 and 1880. Susan's obituary (copied into her notes) says "Her husband, M. Phelps Neff, who belonged to a family of great prominence in Cincinnati, died some twelve years ago [abt 1885] in that city, in which Mr. and Mrs. Neff lived after their marriage."
Date & location of death is mentioned in the obituary of his wife, Susan Wood and is posted in her notes. The obituary was provided by Anthony Troha, Ph.D., of the Canal Society of NJ.
Later into from cited source provided by Dr. Troha gives the exact dates of his birth and death:
William and Elizabeth Neff had nine children, with Montague Phelps Neff being number seven.
Pages 225 - 248 detail the pedigree and abolitionist background of William Neff.
Pages 248 - 250 detail the pedigree of Elizabeth Clifford Wayne Neff.
Their son, Montague Phelps Neff, was evidently named after their children's private tutor, Mr. Montague Phelps, mentioned on Page 242, so the name is not indicative of any Phelps lineage through the Neffs.1870 Census Miami, Greene County, Ohio

From R. T. Rogers: Helen graduated from Vassar College. She and Coleman had been associated in the same circle and met at the Bolton's Landing on Lake George, NY in the summer of 1879.
In the 1930 Census Coleman Sellers III said his mother was born in New York and that to me sounds more logical than MD that I've seen in some charts. I will accept New York.
From R. T. Rogers: Coleman Sellers Ii was a well known Manufacturer and Engineer.
