Scribner family
| Scribner Family |
| Brigadier General Benjamin Franklin Scribner |
| Joel Scribner and two of his brothers (Abner & Nathaniel) founded the town of New Albany, IN back in 1813. In fact, his house still stands. As the first framed house in New Albany, it's listed on the national registry overseen by the local DAR chapter. Because Scribners lived in New Albany from 1813 until 2004, it's pretty easy to trace the family history. The Scribner brothers' father, Nathaniel, served as a Captain in the Duchess County militia (New York) during the Revolutionary War. Joel's son, William Augustus, married a lady who's family goes all the way back to the Fuller family who came to America on the Mayflower. Yeah - definitely pretty cool! What you see below are pictures of various members of the Scribner family, their houses and even their gravestones. A little morbid, sure, but it's cool that a great-uncle (descendant of Abner), Benjamin Franklin Scribner, served as a Brigadier General for the Union Army in the Civil War. I'm not sure if anyone served in WWI, but my grandfather, Harvey Edward Scribner, Jr., and his younger brother, Harold Addison Scribner, both served in WWII. I have a great uncle (Bostock family) who served in Korea and cousins who have served in the Middle East as well as others, like my brother, Bill, & some other cousins, who served during peacetime. Of course some of us...well...we just served in the Peace Corps. Not the same "Corps", but... |
