Thinking of my great grandfather, W. Frank Mathues who died on this date in 1950. Son of PA Treasurer, attended West Point, NYC Stock Broker, #USMarshal during #Prohibition. #genealogy #familyhistory

My great grandparents & their #Hollywood friends were a vibe. #genealogy #roaring20s #familyhistory

Can't believe that we're already half way through Season Eleven... with three episodes left to go. You can find the episodes so far at familyhistoriespodcast.com/series-eleven/ #genealogy #ancestry #FamilyHistory

I'd like to share one of my favorite #famiyphotos of my great grandpa, Frank as he sets sail to some unknown seas long ago. #genealogy #familyhistory

Sure wish this property would have been kept in my family. With some online sluething I've discovered my ggg grandfather's @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social Pocantico Hills Country Estate went to the #Rockefellers in 1941. #genealogy #familyhistory www.mansionglobal.com/articles/a-r...

That time my ggg grandfather, @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social almost became US Attorney General. #genealogy #history

My spirit animal...

Congrats to Julie K. Brown! She was awarded a #Pulitzer Prize special citation today for her groundbreaking reporting in 2017 & 2018 for the Miami Herald exposing Jeffrey Epstein's systematic abuse of young women and the justice system & powerful network of associates that protected him for years.

Thank you so much! I had such a good time and appreciate the chance to share about the life and legacy of my dear ancestor, @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social.

Today marks the 250th anniversary of the brave & historical actions of my 5th great grandfather, Dr. Jonathan Arnold. #genealogy #history

In honor of #KentuckyDerby day, I'd like to share a picture from a family photo album I inherited with Samuel D. Riddle (owner of #ManOWar & #WarAdmiral) visiting with my great grandfather W. Frank Mathues #genealogy #familyhistory

My gg grandfather exemplifies the honoring of #familyhistory, as his name is a combination of 3 surnames: Willet Livingston Boyd.

We're joined by the brilliant; - John Mathues ( @jkmfamilyhistory.bsky.social ) - Janet Few ( @janetfew.bsky.social ) - Ulysses Swanson ( @ulsw.bsky.social ) - Eliza Karpińska - Andrew Redfern ( @andrewredfern.bsky.social ) - Tamiko Nimura ( @tamikonimura.bsky.social ) - Olwen Moseley

Season Eleven is ready to go, and we're excited for you to hear these episodes! familyhistoriespodcast.com/2026/05/01/s... #genealogy #ancestry #FamilyHistory #podcast

On this day in 1789, my 5th great grandfather Robert Boyd, Jr. as Sheriff of NYC rode on horseback mere feet away from George Washington during his Inauguration Parade. #genealogy #familyhistory www.gwbible.org/the-inaugura...

My #genealogy & #familyhistory fun fact of the day. My 3rd great grandfather, @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social while serving as a Justice of NY Supreme Court swore a young Grover Cleveland into the NY Bar.

Oh the irony of this #familyhistory record. When my ggg grandfather @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social, passed away as former Chief Justice of the New York Supreme Court, who had a most esteemed 61 year legal career, and was one America's most noted jurists -- died intestate. #genealogy

I enjoyed this and Thomas Nast certainly deserves plenty of credit for his bravery. However, I do disagree with one main point. There was one judge #BossTweed could not buy or bribe. My ggg grandfather, @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social who truly brought Tweed down. #genealogy #familyhistory

The American Parade: Stop Thief – highlighting the near-unimaginable graft of New York City’s Boss Tweed in the 19th century – aired this evening in 1976 on CBS. Written by the often-subversive Terry Southern (1924-1995), Brad Davis is featured as cartoonist Thomas Nast & Howard DaSilva is Tweed.

That's a wrap! We've finished recording all 7 episodes of Season 11. No spoilers yet... other than our guests have been fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed talking with them and hearing their stories. Thank you ☺️ #genealogy #ancestry #podcasting

On this day in 1897, Theodore Roosevelt writes @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social, my ggg grandfather to tell him he is an inspiration to him & hopes to shape his career similarly to Judge Davis. By far, this is my favorite discovery in my #familyhistory research. #genealogy #history

A day in the life of my great grandpa, one article and two photos. From his #USMarshal retirement in Federal Court in #Philadelphia to visiting stars in #Hollywood. He's even wearing the same spats! #genealogy #familyhistory

#Genealogy is probably the only hobby where you can spend any time from 6 hours to over 6 months trying to prove that 2 men named John are not the same person.

What a great listen, Richard! I am so honored to share the judge presiding over the trial on that fateful day, Nov 19th, 1873 was my 3rd great grandfather @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social #genealogy #history

Alas, it wasn't meant to be. We lost so many #heirlooms when my great grandparents were robbed in 1919. #genealogy #familyhistory

I may have to purchase this print of my 3rd great grandather's furniture store/wearhouse, Allen & Brother Co., circa late 19 C. in #Philadelphia. #genealogy #familyhistory ebay.us/m/mvNfJm

I found this ad from a 1913 issue of Life Magazine for my great grandpa's short-lived Madison Ave #NYC based cigarette company, Mathues Bros., Inc. It appears my great grandpa Frank may have been an inspiration for the model in the ad. #genealogy #history

Today in 1823, William Magear "Boss" Tweed was born. I'd like to take a moment to share the name of the man who convicted him and determined his finale fate: @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social, also my ggg grandfather. #genealogy #familyhistory

Thinking of my gg grandfather, William L. Mathues, born today in 1862. He was Treasurer of #Pennsylvania 1904-1905 and was convicted in the PA Capitol Graft Scandal. He died before he was to serve a sentence in Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia. #genealogy #history

My ggg grandfather @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social died on this date in 1902. Most known for being the judge that convicted Boss Tweed. A true American hero that saved New York City; I will continue to do my best to preserve his memory & legacy. #genealogy #familyhistory

What a remarkable photo to share. A moment from 1906 still looking back at us today. Imagine the stories, hopes, and lives that followed that day. Photos like this turn family history into something you can actually see. Thx for sharing. #Genealogy #FamilyHisto

An interesting #genealogy & #familyhistory fact, my great grandfather was in the same class at West Point as General Patton. #genealogy #history 🇺🇸🪖

My great grandparents' wedding photo from Oct. 1906.

Boss Tweed deserves his own film.

Photo comparisons are one of my favorite #genealogy pastimes. In this one I think my grandpa George looks a lot like his great grandfather, @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social

There’s a specific kind of exhaustion that comes from caring deeply about someone who’s been dead for 200 years. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

I want to take a moment today to honor my great grandma, Eleanor, who was born on this day in 1890. My Dad's Gaga, the granddaughter of @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social. A woman who lived an interesting life & had many unique experiences & opportunities. Wish I could have met her. #genealogy #family

On this #PresidentsDay I reflect on the time I held in my hands an original letter that was penned by George Washington. It was once owned by my ggg grandfather @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social #genealogy #history #USA 🧬🇺🇸📜

Susan B. Anthony was born #OTD in 1820. She dedicated her life to women's #suffrage, and campaigned for the abolition of slavery, women's property rights, and more: susanbanthonyhouse.org/her-story/bi...#OTD#suffrageActive until she died in 1906. She never got to vote in her lifetime (well, legally that is).

@jernealogy.bsky.social I thought you would appreciate this record I found in a 1900 edition of the Chester Times regarding my gg grandfather, William L. Mathues calling on the Weather Bureau for the Media, PA bi-centennial celebration. #weather #meteorology #genealogy
