The Descendants of Nathan Monroe Elton (d. 1893) and Nancy Margaret Garred (d. 1928).
1.0Nathan Monroe Elton (1826-1893) b. 12 Nov 1826 in Freehold, Greene Co., New York, d. 03 Nov 1893 in Yolo, Yolo Co.,California, a carpenter by trade. Nathan Monroe Elton takes his middle name from his mother, Amy Anne Monroe (spelled "Munroe" by her family, but "Monroe" by the Eltons). Amy Anne Munroe was born in Freehold, Green Co., New York, 16 July 1801, and would marry Solomon "Salmon" Elton, before her 20th birthday, sometime on or before 1820. Solomon Elton was born ca. 1796 also in Freehold, Greene Co., New York. The Town of Freehold changed its name to Town of Durham in 1805 to reflect the name used by settlers from Connecticut since the early 1790s, who called this farmland in the northern Catskills, "New Durham" after Durham, Connecticut. Sometime around 1836 Solomon Elton took his wife and six children including Nathan, who at the time was about 10 years old, by wagon and passenger "packet" boats from Durham north to the Erie Canal, and from there via the canal to Lake Erie and then on to Ohio. Once in Ohio the Elton family settled in Clyde, a small town in Sandusky County about 6 miles south of Sandusky Bay, Lake Erie, Ohio. It was here that Nathan's youngest sibling, Linus Fellows Elton, was born, 13 Oct 1837. Virtually nothing is known of the Elton family's life in Ohio during this time, except that Salmon Elton was listed as a laborer in one of the US censuses of the time. By 1840 the family had moved to Groton, Erie Co., Ohio. Nathan's mother, Amy Anne Elton raised Nathan and his siblings in Groton, Erie Co., before dying there, 22 Mar 1849 at age 48, possibly of cholera, following the cholera outbreaks in northern US cities that year (1849). After Amy Anne's death, Salmon Elton returned home to New York, to marry the widow Polly (Decker) Humphrey in Conesville, Schoharie Co., (5 miles west of Durham) New York, circa 1851. We do know that in 1850 Nathan was employed as a sailor on Lake Erie and living at home in Groton, Erie Co., Ohio with his recently widowed father and younger siblings. At some point in the early 1850s, most likely about the same time his father decided to move back to New York in 1851, Nathan, age 25, made his way further westwards. He eventually would make it all the way to Placer Co., California, by the early to mid-1850s, where he joined tens of thousands of other young men seeking their fortunes after gold was discovered in the area in 1848. Like almost all young men who made the trek out west, Nathan did not strike it rich, but instead made a living through carpentry. By 1869 he had made his way north to Oregon where he met and married a young girl named Nancy Margaret Garred (or Gerred, Jerred) (m. 06 or 24 Sep 1869) from Monroe just barely in her teens. The couple first lived in Monroe, Benton Co., Oregon, just north of Eugene, before moving 150 miles to the northeast where they rented a cottage on the Phillips family farm in Weston, Umatilla Co., Oregon (just south of Walla Walla, Washington), sometime in 1870. On the US census form that year Nathan listed his occupation as "Minister of the Gospel, Southern Methodist", (by which he must have meant, Minister of the Gospel, Methodist Episcopal Church, South, since the denomination we know as "Southern Methodist" wasn't formed until 1940). By 1872 Nathan with his young wife Nancy returned to California settling about 15 miles northwest of Sacramento in Yolo County (Grafton/Knights Landing on the Sacramento River). By 1880 Nathan and his growing family had moved to Cacheville (later renamed Yolo), Yolo Co., California, a few miles further west in the same county.
Nancy Margaret (Garred/ Gerred/ Jerred/ Jerrid) (Elton)Rambo (1856-1928) b. 17Jan 1856 in Monroe, Benton Co., Oregon, d. 08 Oct 1928 in Yolo, California. Both of Nancy M. Garred's parents (Felix Garred and Sarah Jane Lewis) were born in Kentucky, but were married in Missouri. Both passed away in Oregon. Nancy Margaret Garred and Nathan Monroe Elton were married 06 or 24 Sep 1869 in Benton Co., Oregon. Despite her father signing a sworn affidavit to the effect that Nancy was over 15, there is evidence to suggest that she was under 15 at the time of her marriage to Nathan in Sept 1869. From the 1870 US census, we know that one of her sisters, Sarah Francis Garred was born ca. 1855 in Missouri. Nancy must have been born after that because she was born after the family moved to Oregon. Assuming she was born 17 Jan 1856 as later records indicate, she was 13-years-old when she married her 42-year-old Methodist pastor, Nathan Monroe Elton, in Sept 1869 in Monroe, Oregon, north of Eugene (although I'm sure Nathan thought he was marrying a 16-year-old because of her father's sworn affidavit). She and Nathan moved about 150 miles northeast of her parents by early 1870, to a small town just south of Walla Walla, Washington on the Oregon side of the border, where they lived for nearly 2 years. Sometime in 1872 they moved back south to the Sacramento area in California, eventually settling in Yolo County, where Nancy gave birth to 6 children between 1872 and 1889. Next to nothing is known of her life during these years except maybe that she was a faithful member of the local Methodist Episcopal church there in Yolo. Her husband, Nathan died and was buried in Yolo, Nov 1893. In 1900, Nancy was an unemployed nurse in Yolo County, California. In March 1910 the widow Nancy M. (Garred) Elton married Calvin Gillespie Rambo (1851-1929) in Yolo, California. Calvin G. Rambo was the widower of Nancy M. (Garred) Elton's sister, Martha E. (Garred) (d.1907 in Oregon). According to probate petitions filed 29 Aug 1932 in Woodland, Yolo County, California, by her son, George M. Elton, both Nancy (Garred)(Elton) Rambo and her second husband, Calvin G. Rambo died with less than $ 100 worth of real property assets, and less than $ 100 worth of personal effects to their names.
