Mapes

Stephen S. Mapes was born on 23 June 1811 in Senica County, New York to Seth and Julia (Smith) Mapes. Seth was a surveyor for the Connecticut Western Reserve Land Company, which settled the area of northeast Ohio now known as Cuyahoga County. Stephen married Margaret Bright there on 9 Oct 1832. They had at least 9 children before moving west to Wisconsin, settling first in Sheboygan county, then northward along Lake Michigan to Fish Creek, Door County. This album contains photos mainly from the youngest three sons, Alvin Perry,
Calvin Ferris and John Dony.

Flora and her husband Asa Morton had an oil lease in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. After A.J.'s death, Flora's Uncle Alvin Mapes and his wife moved out from Wisconsin to help with the oil lease, and this is where he died soon after on 17 July 1916.
