Johnathan Greenlaw, one of the sons of William and Jane, married Elizabeth Lamb in 1759. Among their children was Moses, born ca. 1767. Moses apparently married because one of his children was Isaac Case Greenlaw, born 11 January 1808. There is a marker for Isaac and his wife, Mary Bartlett, in the Bartlett Mills Cemetery at Waweig, Charlotte County, New Brunswick. My father and I stumbled upon this small cemetery when leaving St. Andrews many years ago.
Isaac Sr. had a son, Isaac Jr., born 8 September 1844. Isaac Jr. and his brothers, William and Jesse Cooper, moved to northern California in the mid 1860's and went to work logging in the redwood forests in Humboldt County.
Isaac Jr. returned to New Brunswick in 1867 and married Charlotte Ann Nixon from St. John. They travelled back to California via boat to Panama, by train across the isthmus, and thence by ship to Northern California. They eventually settled at Elk River where they farmed and raised children. One of their nine children was my grandfather, Charles Frederick Greenlaw.
(There is an interesting mention of two young Greenlaws buried on a hill on Jack London's former estate in Glen Ellen, CA. He wished to be cremated and his ashes buried on this same hill to keep them company. These children died in the 1870's and thus are likely the offspring of one of the three brothers. So far, I have been unable to discover their parents names.)
Charles Sr. moved to Los Angeles where he married a widow, Laura Hall Rodgers, with two sons. They then had my father, Charles Frederick Greenlaw Jr. The marriage didn't last and Charles Jr. lived with his mother in Boyle Heights until graduating from Manual Arts High School. He and his father shared weekends and occasional fishing trips, one of which my father memorialized in a small booklet he gave to his father as a present.
Charles Jr. had obtained a job as an office boy at Warner Bros. Pictures in Burbank, California. This job allowed him to marry Edith Baker Fischer in June 1937 in Los Angeles. Edith had a young daughter, Jean Ann, from a previous marriage to her high school sweetheart. They moved to Burbank where I was born in 1942. Charles Jr. retired from WB as a senior executive in 1983.
I married Martha Small, whom I met at the University of Texas, in 1967. We have three children, Scott (born 1972), James (born 1977), and Anne Elizabeth (born 1980). We currently live in Seguin, TX and our children are scattered across the USA. We have seven grandchildren at last count.
