 #   Notes   Linked to 
10401 She is "Eliza Simpson, grand-daughter" on the will of her grandmother Susan(nah) Ish. Simpson, Eliza (I4140)
 
10402 She is "Margaret Prosser" on the will of her father; this may be a confusion in names with her sister Mary? Ish, Margaret (I9633)
 
10403 She is "Mary Prosser, dau." on the will of her mother; this may be a confusion in names with her sister Margaret? Ish, Mary (I9632)
 
10404 She is "mulatto" on the 1850 census, and her mother (living with them in the Maupay household) also. The children (Cecilia, Lorenza) are also "mulatto."

On the 1860 census, however, her mother is described as "white." Maybe she was latino, and the definition of a latino as a person of color was changing? Or she was light enough to pass? Or, was this a mistake?

Here are the censuses:

1850 U.S. Census • Louisiana • Orleans • New Orleans, Municipality 1, Ward 2 > Page 65
Dwelling 1167/Family 1177.
Daniel Maupay, 26, white, seedsman, b Pennsylvania
Lorenza Maupay, 22, white, mulatto, b LA
Cecilia Maupay, 2, mulatto, b LA
Lorenza Maupay, 5 months, mulatto, b LA
Cecile Fernandez, 45, mulatto, b LA
Zelias Berobus, 16, female, mulatto, b LA [this name is actually "Bertus"; see the husband of Lorenza Fernandez' aunt, Marie Desiree Fouque]

1860 U.S. Census • Louisiana • Orleans • New Orleans, Ward 4 > Page 193
Dwelling 1536/Family 1495
D. Maupay, 26, white, seed man, $12500 real estate, $1000 personal property, b Pennsylvania
Widow Fernandez, 43, white, $2000 real estate, b New Orleans
Cecilia Maupay, 11, white, b New Orleans
Lorenza, 10, white, b New Orleans
Caroline, 8, white, b Pennsylvania
Emma, 7, white, b New Orleans

Marriages between races were not legal between 1830 and 1865, so there would be no marriage certificate in that period, at least in New Orlean. There are, however, birth certicates for 2 of the children (not Cecilia). The births of Lorenza and Emma list them as white. All of this points either to her passing, or to her actually being white with the census in error.

She died I assume due to complications in childbirth, just 13 days after the birth of Emma Regina.

In 1860, there is an Olivier Blineau, aged 73, in Orleans Parish, born in France. Wife, 72, Therese, aged 72, born in NOLA. In the household is an Amelia Carriere, aged 16, also born in New Orleans. 
Fernandez, Lorenza Maria (I3100)
 
10405 she is 4 mos. old on the 1880 census in Austin, Travis Co. Tomlinson, Mildred Edna (I14124)
 
10406 She is 43 in the 1776 Census for Harford County. Arnold, Johanna (I10671)
 
10407 she is a boarder in a house with John & Ruth Stewart, divorced, aged 27. Her daughter Julie is not with her. Colomb, Alice Helene (I1063)
 
10408 She is a descendant by her name of Thomas Turner Sr., who immigrated a few years after the Mayflower pilgrims. Her ancestors, traceable up to 7 generations back in America, mostly lived in Scituate, Massachusetts, and some later moved to Hanover. They include some who were in the colony by 1630, including Humphrey Turner, apparently from a different Turner family than Thomas, and John Williams.

Her name is from Waldoboro, Maine town records, under the marriage date, as "Polly Turner."

To see: Jasper Stahl, History of Old Broad Bay and Waldoboro, 2 vols., 1956; with Index to Jasper Jacob Stahl's History of Old Broad Bay and Waldoboro. By Marlene Alma Hinkley Groves. 
Turner, Mary K. "Polly" (I69)
 
10409 She is a descendant of immigrant ancestor Samuel Crockett. Harbert, Virginia Ann (Jennie) (I3906)
 
10410 She is a direct ancestor, apparently, of Vice-President Dick Cheney. See http://www.wargs.com/political/cheney.html. His patronym is not descended from the Cheyney family of Maryland, but from immigrant William Cheney of Massachusetts. He is also descended from her half-brother Samuel, son of Mareen and his second wife Mary Bouth. Duvall, Susannah (I6273)
 
10411 She is a professional genealogist; info. comes from her site and personal contact. Her site has great notes and sources; refers directly to Bona Arsenault, Histoire et Genealogie des Acadiens, which is the definitive source for Acadian genealogy. Source (S1074)
 
10412 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Private (I14628)
 
10413 She is Acadian; her ancestry traces back to the Aucoin/Boudrot families. Her child Adelaide married into the Mouchon family, who are ancestors of the DeGranges from New Orleans.

Is this a mixed marriage? That is, was Maturin Ferlot Creole, or Carribean French, but Francois Pitre Acadian? 
Pitre, Francoise Olive (I5022)
 
10414 She is aged 44, he is aged 42 Family: Luke Irving / Zulma Vila (F10748)
 
10415 She is aged 7 on the 1776 census for St. John's and St. George's Parishes in Prince George's Co. Lansdale, Elizabeth Ann (I3903)
 
10416 She is also “E.P” on the 1880 census with her parents. Eagan, Eugene Prentiss (I15173)
 
10417 She is always "Elizabeth" on the census, but family history names her Bertha (like her daughter).

She is "Elize," aged 35, on the immigration record in 1849 (so, born abt. 1815). Her daughter Ida's and her son Gus's death certificates say that her name is "Elizabeth Heinzelman."

Elizabeth Umland, aged 59, and widowed, with son Gustav aged 25, appear in the 1880 census.

"J.A. Heinzelman" (aged 40) and family, including Wilhelmine (presumably wife, aged 35) and children Wilhelm (7) and Gustav (6) appear next to the Umlands aboard the ship "Hamburg" on which they immigrated in 1849. J.F.A. Heinzelmann signed the will of Jacob Umland, her father-in-law. Her brother? Immigrating with them are also two older members of the Wolf family, J.C.L. (aged 77) and Catherine (73). 
Heinzelman, Elizabeth “Bertha” (I4197)
 
10418 She is called his "heir" along with her sister. Data needs documentation here.

I've seen references that this couple had 8 children. 
Moylan, Maria (I11558)
 
10419 She is called the "former consort of Israel Gregg," implying that he died before she did. Watkins, Charlotte (I9851)
 
10420 She is descended from Margaret (Stephenson) Scott, who was hung as a witch at Salem in 1692.

According to Speare, "Captain Clough married Sarah, daughter of Joseph Decker. He was thirty and she just under twenty. A daughter, Sarah, was two and a half years old when her father went to France and was there about three years during the French Revolution. Madam Clough was a woman of remarkable health and vitality. At forty she said that she did not know the sensation of being tired. . . . Rev. Jonathan Adams mentions three daughters: Sarah D., Elizabeth L. St. Barbs; and Hannah Antoinette, 1798-1864, who married Rev. Jonathan Adams of Woolwich, Maine." 
Decker, Sarah "Sally" (I3365)
 
10421 She is described as “taille moyenne allant joindre son marie”; “average size going to join her husband”: https://archives.gironde.fr/ark:/25651/vta81137b258646f952/daogrp/0/8 Andatte, Marguerite (I13960)
 
10422 She is from the Mason family of "Gunston Hall." Mason, Mary (I8414)
 
10423 She is identifed as Mrs. J.T. Sullivan in her brother Paul W.’s obituary.

Her sister Leonora is also identified as Mrs. J.T. Sullivan in her 1903 obituary. Apparently J.T. Sullivan married first one sister, and after her death married another. 
Turnbull, Marie Louise “Louisa” (I15442)
 
10424 She is identified as the "dau. of John and Maria Alsop (Leslie) Iglehart, of Anne Arundel Co., Md." I have seen this John as the John (1788-1869) I have on this tree married to Maria Eleanor Smoot. Was that John married twice, or is there a confusion between the sources here? Iglehart, Maria Louisa (I11725)
 
10425 she is in the 1880 census Brooke, Eliza Ann (I9961)
 
10426 She is in the Bible of Samuel Williams and Margarette Lansdale, but not in the Bible of Thomas Lansdale and Harriet Franklin, for whatever reason. Williams, Lucretia Helen (I11610)
 
10427 She is in the household of John M. Evans as "Lydia T. Landsdale," aged 31. Johnson, Lydia Titus (I5145)
 
10428 She is in the Simpson history as Emily (I assume it is the same person); I take her name from the 1870 census. Simpson, Emma L. (I7312)
 
10429 She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page because her son William married into a Quaker family. Cheyney, Elizabeth (I3809)
 
10430 She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page. Bolton, Ann (I2496)
 
10431 She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page. Iiams, Charity (I3450)
 
10432 She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page. Arnold, Sarah (I3455)
 
10433 She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page. Franklin, Rachel (I3523)
 
10434 She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page. Elizabeth (I3531)
 
10435 She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page. Truman, Susanna (I4373)
 
10436 She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page. Morris, Mary (I4549)
 
10437 She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page. Ludwidge, Mary (I9993)
 
10438 She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page. Elizabeth (I10017)
 
10439 She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page. She seems sometimes to be named Sarah. I rely here on McCracken. Dilworth, Jennet (I10013)
 
10440 She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page. She seems to have died from complications from childbirth, four days after the birth of her son James.

How could she have been born in Ireland in 1719 if her parents emigrated from Ireland in 1717? 
Starr, Anne (I4390)
 
10441 She is labeled “Mu[latto] on the census. 102 St. Louis Street would be the address before addresses were changed in the 1890s. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9YBS-92VD?cc=1417683&wc=X4FD-W38%3A1589403898%2C1589404396%2C1589404395%2C1589394765 Carleton, Josephine (I16182)
 
10442 She is listed above her husband on the 1850 census, presumably because she is given an older age. Her mother Mary Lansdale is also living with them, and two others I presume are servants: Rebecca Pidicon, 25, born in Md; and George Watts, 11, born in DC. Lansdale, Catherine Louisa (I11395)
 
10443 She is listed as "Elizabeth Simpson, dau." on the will of her father.

I have also seen her named as Elizabeth Fairfax, the daughter of Hezekiah Fairfax and Margaret Calvert; this is incorrect. 
Ish, Elizabeth "Betsy" (I4120)
 
10444 She is listed as the co-administrator of the will for her father, along with Robert Freeland. Her two older brothers had waived their interest in inheritance, and as the oldest no doubt she stepped in. Freeland, Emily (I5706)
 
10445 She is listed as widowed in the 1910 census. Lansdale, Katherine Elizabeth (I11420)
 
10446 She is living according to her husband’s death record. Gastel, Gabrielle (I13970)
 
10447 She is living in Nebraska with her (half) brother James B. Currens in the 1900 census and after. Currens, Margaret (I16979)
 
10448 She is living with her brother Nathan in the 1850 census; no husband is present. Waters, Elizabeth (I3797)
 
10449 She is living with her daugther Anna in the 1920 census, and her daughter Katherine in 1930. Beall, Anna Hanson (I6549)
 
10450 She is living with her father on the 1880 census, but I do not see her on the 1870 census—only Cornelia and Thomas are. She would have been 11 in 1870.

John Lansdale Jr. made this note about here in a discussion of his father:

“On July 7, 1929, Father records in his diary that the newspaper, the Houston Post Dispatch, had been running historical sketches of Texas and on that day it recorded that on June 18, 1841, the Santa Fe expedition was in camp at Camp Cazneau on Brushy Creek, twenty miles from Austin. The commander of Company E was Captain John H. Strain, ‘my mother’s uncle for whom I was named.’ He remarks that he ‘will send the clipping to his daughter Sally Strain of New York.’”

This implies that she was not married. I can’t find anyone that seems to be like her on the census in 1920 or 1930, however, or the NY State census in 1925. 
Strain, Sarah A. "Sally" (I5755)
 
10451 She is living with her parents in all censuses from 1850 through 1880--the only child to do so. In 1880 a nurse (Mary ?Kelay) is also living with them.

From Kentucky Rootsweb Biography Project; this bio. is focused on John O.'s grandaughter, but it is mostly on her father, it seems:

Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 7th ed., 1887, Gallatin Co.

MISS ELIZA HAMILTON is a native of Gallatin County, Ky., and is a daughter of John O. Hamilton, whose grandfather crossed the ocean at an early day in the history of this country, and settled in Maryland. There were born his father and all his older brothers and sisters. His father, determining upon a change of location, started with his family for Kentucky, then almost a wilderness. Learning, on his way through Pennsylvania, that the Indians along the Ohio River were troublesome and dangerous, he stopped for a year or two at a point in that State called Sherman's Valley. Here, August 25, 1794, Father Hamilton was born. When he was about a year old his father again started for Kentucky, and upon arrival there, settled at a point in Bracken County, five miles back of the town of Augusta, called Cross-Roads, now Chatham, where he lived many years and accumulated a considerable estate. Here Mr. Hamilton's childhood, youth and early manhood were spent. From here he made one or more trips on flat boats to New Orleans, returning overland and carrying the proceeds of his sales, largely in silver, in saddle bags, a long and dangerous journey in those days. Here for a few years he was in the general merchandising business, and here, in the year 1817, he married Hannah Gregg, a high-minded, warm-hearted woman, a true help-mate, who bore him nine children, and who for twenty years faithfully shared the toils and sacrifices that laid the foundation of his fortune. Of these children four daughters and one son survive, two sons and two daughters preceding him to the grave.
It was from this point also that in the war of 1812, when not yet nineteen years old, he enlisted in Capt. Baker's company of Mason County Volunteers, to go to the relief of Fort Meigs, then closely beleaguered by the British and Indians. His company went by the way of Cincinnati. He succeeded in entering the fort, and assisted in its defense. He distinguished himself for courage and activity. At one time, when a heavy fire compelled the defenders to shelter themselves behind the ramparts, the officer in command, suspecting that the enemy was marching to the assault, asked for some one to mount the ramparts, survey the situation, and report. The danger was so great that no on responded until Mr. Hamilton came by, and, learning what was wanted, sprang immediately upon the parapet, took a rapid look around, and sprang down again. Short as the time was, he was a target for many of the enemy's rifles, and a bullet from one grazed his shoulder. The officer who had asked the service, laid his sword lightly on the mark of the bullet and said, "Ah, my brave fellow, some day that shoulder shall wear an epaulette [sic]." At one time a shell fell near him. Falling, to escape the explosion, a heavy clod, thrown up by the shell, fell on his back, inflicting injuries from which he, perhaps, never fully recovered.
With the relief of Fort Meigs his time of service expired. He volunteered again, however, to go to the assault of Fort Malden, but this being found burned and abandoned, the boy soldier returned home. Mr. Hamilton came to this part of Kentucky in the fall of 1818, buying land at a point on Eagle Creek, in Owen County, call the Jump Off. In the fall of 1819 he bought the farm of Moses Rae, in Gallatin County, and in January, 1820, he moved his family to the latter purchase. On this, or land added to it, he made his home until his death. Several years after the death of his first wife, Hannah Gregg, he married Miss Grace A. Andrews, who bore him a son and a daughter. His taste for reading was formed in early youth, and he retained through life his keen, close observation; his strong common sense, clear judgment and retentive memory, enabled him to gather and carry into the affairs of life an unusually large fund of practical information. He was a natural leader of men, of indomitable energy and will, and for half a century was prominent in the affairs of his country. He was a warm politician, devoted to his convictions, and so thoroughly posted in the political history of his times, and so clear in his judgment of men and the practical bearing of political questions, that men prominent in the affairs of the Nation--congressmen, governors, senators and vice-presidents--visited his house, sought and appreciated his advice.
He was a man of spotless integrity. For twenty-seven years a magistrate, and at one time sheriff of the county, always having large dealings with the people, and moving, as it were, in the clear light among them for sixty-six years, not a single spot was ever visible upon his reputation for honorable [sic] dealing. He was naturally a fair-minded man, weighing the opposite side impartially. Persons who expected to find so strong a character controlled by prejudice, were surprised to see every argument in opposition to his cherished convictions fairly and candidly considered. To owe no man anything, to deal justly with all men in all things, was the honorable ambition of this life. He was a social man of the old-time courtesy; a fine entertainer, with a trait of genial humor that drew friends around, and made his home a social center for many years. But advancing years and increasing infirmities so closely confined him in later years, that gradually the circle of acquaintances grew smaller. Yet to the last he retained his genial humor, and the social fire in his heart burned clear and strong. He was a man of kindly feeling and generous impulses, yet so unostentatious in his dealing with the poor that few gave him the credit for liberality that was his due. A large loaner of money to persons in Gallatin and adjoining counties, he, at times, held many completely in his power; yet, in all these years, and in all these large dealings, he was never known to oppress. To his assistance, patience and forbearance, many owed their homes, and bore grateful testimony to his kindness of heart. He was a man that veiled his deeper feelings from the gaze of men. Few suspected that through the firm granite of his nature there ran golden veins of tender sentiment, and that the man of strong character and firm will was one whose nature was as genial as the sunshine, and who could be moved to tears by a simple song, who loved the beautiful in art and nature, and who,

"Whene'er a noble deed was wrought,
Whene'er was uttered a noble thought."

stood with uncovered head in reverential appreciation. Mr. Hamilton died December 18, 1885. Miss Eliza Hamilton received a good English education at Carrollton, and at Warsaw College. She owns 135 acres of land, all in a high state of cultivation, having all the modern improvements." 
Hamilton, Eliza Jane (I10819)
 
10452 She is living with her sister Cassandra (Parker) in the 1850 census; in 1860 she is still living in the household with her brother in law and her niece and nephew, though her sister had died 8 years before; she is described as a "servant," which must mean that she is keeping house. There is also in this year an Anna Wheeler, aged 23, "M[ulatto]", described as a servant. Lansdale, Mary Ellen (I10141)
 
10453 She is living with James Savage on the the 1850 census, and the gravestone at the cemetery--which gives her last name as Savage--matches with the dates given for her elsewhere. Given the name on her stone, I don't know why the Dimmitt site gives her a second husband named Arnold. Dimmitt, Rachel (I10306)
 
10454 She is Lucretia on the 1850 census, and Theresia on the 1860 census. Ages show her almost surely to be the same person. Phillips, Lucretia / Theresa (I10560)
 
10455 She is mentioned as Pitard’s wife at his death in 1969, but is not mentioned on the obituaries of her parents in 1984 and 1987. Morrison, Geraldine (I11970)
 
10456 She is name as “Mrs. Turel Bennet” in her sister Mamie’s obituary. Her death certificate is signed by “H.F. Bennett, Sr.” Tomlinson, Purel E. (I3888)
 
10457 She is named "Beatrice de Frisk_" in Robert Pitard's obit (the last letter or two are obscure). The 1891 and 1901 England and Wales censuses show a Beatrice M. Friskney born in abt 1884 in Lambeth that I assume is her.

In the April 1905 is a marriage between Beatrice M. Friskney and Nicholas Oeconomacos in London.

Beatrice Friskey immigrated to the U.S. on the S.S. Baltic from Liverpool to New York, arriving on Nov. 15, 1906. She was a "domestic," last living in London where she was born, destination New York, going to see “Friend Henry Guillot, 170 bus, 32nd Street, New York.”

Beatrice Friskney was married to Henry V. Guillot in Manhattan, New York, on 16 Nov. 1906. This would have been one day after her immigration. This would be Henry Victor Guillot (born in Pancras, London, in the 2nd quarter of 1880) for whom there are two immigration records from England, in 1904 and 1906. But in the second, on the Saint Paul on 10 June 1906, he is recorded as being married (the record is on findmypast from the British end, or the Ellis Island website for the American record). It’s a puzzle as to why he was recorded as married in June and then got married to Beatrice in November.

I don't see her on the 1910 census. In 1920 she is living with her husband Louis Gillman in Chicago.

In the 1930 Chicago census, both she and George Pitard are 46. She's clearly "wife," not housekeeper, and both were first married at age 31, or about 1915. See further notes under her husband George: I suspect this is either a lie, or, unlikely though possible, George is a bigamist.

In the 1940 census, she was the "housekeeper" in the household of Thomas Wende; her job was listed as a saleswoman in a shop.

In 1950, Beatrice Pitard traveled from Liverpool to the US, arriving on 19 Sept. 
Friskney, Beatrice Mary (I745)
 
10458 She is named "Ellen" in the McQuiston family history, but with little information; for this name, I trust the von Rosenberg history more, since it is closer to her. McCuistion, Rachel Cornelia (I2339)

10478 She is named “Mary” in Digges and Pountney Davis. Lancaster, Margaret (I3920)

Dodd, Jordan R., et al.. Early American Marriages: Virginia to 1850 (in ancestry.com database) records that Mary Connor marries Lewis Hiatt on 27 May 1784 in Orange Co., Virginia. 
Connor, Mary (I5937)
 
10488 She is on the Louisiana Mysteries page; her ancestry is unclear. Her death certificate says that she had lived in Mobile, Alabama for 10 years before her death in 1912. Occupation is "housewife." Her age is 42 years.

She died of septicimia, a bacterial infection; it also says that she had undergone a "loporotomy" (? laparotomy, presumably), so I would suspect that she died of a post-operative infection.

She was buried at the "Catholic Cemetery," presumably in Mobile.

There is a long series of articles on the family of Leonard Lasseigne in the journal Les Voyageurs, pub. in Destrehan, Louisiana, between about 1987 and 1999. I have not looked at these.

On the 1870 census she is the HOH, her husband having died within the previous 10 years. Her husband's real estate was valued in 1860 was 18,300; in 1870 her real estate is valued at 5,850, five years after the end of the war, which must have hit them hard.

10497 She is the niece of Polly HIggins, who was John Henry's wife; her husband is the nephew of John Henry (b. 1796). Alternatively, her aunt was the wife of her husband's uncle.

Their children are recorded in the Strain Bible.

In 1860 she appears on the census in Polk County, Arkansas, with her children (this must be her because the children’s names match the names recorded in the Strain Bible). Naomi, aged 6, was born in Tennessee, but the youngest, William, aged 2, was born in Arkansas, giving a window of between abt.1854 and 1858 for the time when they moved from Tennessee.

“Martha C Logan” also appears in the 1860 Tennessee census in the household of James A. Logan, who would seem to be her brother-in-law, though none of these children appear with her.

On 3 Sept. 1942, Angela Dolores Leonarda Mayorga was naturalized in Louisiana as a U.S. Citizen. In 1944, a newspaper story that names a set of high school girls lists her at "Leonarda Mayorga, Costa Rica." This would imply, then, that she was born outside of the U.S. between about 1926 and 1931. Her 2004 obituary, however, gives her age as 87 (b. about. 1917), which seems much too old; I'd guess that this is an error for 77.

She didn't have a social security number.

Her first husband soon went to war. Hassenstein, Christine Batjamina (I12981)
 
10510 She kept much fuller records of her life and family than her husband. These are notes gathered from the scrapbooks and photo albums kept by Helen Degrange (Weenie) and her daughter Helen McLellan about young Helen's life.

A photo album was started by her mother, Weenie, and continued by her; she picked it up during her teenage years and continued with it until about 1929; the last pages include pictures of Beep.

The first pages are at 3426 Coliseum St. where she was born (August 19, 1906). The have dogs as pets, and two servants, Vira and Rebecca. In May 1908 they visit Bogalusa, at #602, Avenue B; this is in Washington Parish, Louisiana. This city was founded in 1906. There are pics of people removing stumps from 6th street with mules. They were visiting a Miss Noemie Duralde, of no apparent relation.

In June 1908 they visited Crichton, Alabama, (#2 Chidester Ave.) where her mother's brother Henry Snodgrass DeGrange and his wife Cecile and their children lived. Helen's nickname at this point was Ti-ti. There was a creek nearby. The family had chickens. There is also a picture here of "Josephine" with Alden; might this be Joseph Tormey Degrange's daughter? No other members of Joseph's family are in pictures here, but the age is about right. For Easter, 1908 they were at Grandpa DeGrange's. But there also seems to be a picture here of McLellan cousins: "three cousins" has Woodward, Joel, and Helen. Woodward might be Joseph Woodward McLellan, who died at age 2; Joel seems to be Joel McGinnis.

There are photos of her father Asahel in cars he owned in 1907 and 1909. He apparently loved engines, in boats and cars. The "Alden," a cruising lauch with a cabin which is about 30 feet long, first appears in a photo in 1909.

They visited New York in January 1910. There is a picture of the Rex float in February 1910. A car, the "R.S." is in pictures in Feb. 1910. This is a cute little compact thing. A second version, or at least a second picture of it, appears later in the volume. They visit Eagle River, Wisconsin in August 1910.

Then, they move in to 22 Audubon Place on April 19, 1911.

In 1916, there is a picture of Alden McLellan Sr. and Joel [McGinnis] Jr. at Mackinac Island (Michigan) in 1916.

In 1918, she begins to attend Camp Thorwald in Sewanee, Tennessee during the summers, apparently run by a couple named Mr. & Mrs. McDowell. In the first year, there are pictures of her cousins, two sisters Estelle and Anna McLellan. She seems to be taking these pictures now; there are lots of girlfriends. She attended for 5 years (until Summer 1922). There were hikes, plays, and all sorts of fun.

She begins a "stunt book" in the summer of 1918; she calls herself a "junior" at the time, in high school. "Stunts" seem to refer to events, or parties, or games, or other fun happenings of some kind. She has lists, here, with addresses, of her friends from Camp Thorvald between 1918 and 1924. I don't see relations listed here.

On Easter 1919 (and 1920) she was in Waveland, Miss, "auto show, most part," with Blanche Gelpi (=?), Alden III (her brother), and other family or friends.

Back in the photo album, In May 1919, Helen & mother visit a "Miss Noemie" in Savannah, staying at #303 Estill Ave. A new pet (looks like a Bichon) appears in Spring, 1919: Mr. Dooley. Also in 1919, pictures of Alden appear in a track uniform; he was apparently a track athlete at Georgia Tech. He is also in a soldier's uniform in 1919.

Most pictures from this point on are at Camp Thorvald or on the Alden (later the Spikes). She also takes school trips on the Spikes with her sorority.

The stunt book preserves much of her schedules before Newcomb:

In 1920 she spent Christmas in NYC with Family and "Lyda" (=?). She was here for three weeks, going to the theatre a lot. Over the new Year 1920-21 she was in New York, with mother and "Alden III"; the years before and after she was at a friend's, "Virginia Ross's."

Easter 1921 was also in Waveland; "auto show, most part." Christmas Eve 1921 was at "Joel Jr's party"; Christmas, 1921, was spent "here, a lazy day," with family; "fight between Alden and Lyda."

In 1922, there was a dinner party at Antoine's on New Year's Day. In 1922 on Valentine's day she has "Dance at Virginia Ross'"; with who is "???" In Easter 1922 she is on the Alden for a 4-day trip. In 1922, in the Stunt Book, she keeps records of her graduation from "INMTS," the Isidore Newman Manual Training School. She wrote the class prophecy; she seems to have been quite the center of social circles there. Witty and fun; she was elected "wittiest person."

In summer of 1922 she traveled west, going to El Paso and Juarez; the grand Canyon; up the coast to Yosemite and San Francisco; to Portland, Seattle, Victoria; then east to Glacier, and back via Banff and Chicago. "Mother, Aunt Bess, Mr. Robinson, Peter, and I." In 1922, July 4th, she is in Chicago, Ill, with "Mother, Aunt Bess, and Peter," at the end of this trip. She records her visit:

Uncle Alden, celebrated by arriving in his checkered suit, to see us! "Business is all for my pleasure-I don't allow it to interfere." Breakfast in the automat for the fisr time since N.Y. I adore them! We went for a park drive with Peter and Aunt Bess-and there they left us (or, rather, we left them) and brother and I went to the theatre to see "Lilies of the field." It was a scream, only-well, rather racy-but I tough I'd die laughing especially what with the chocolates and the newspapers and the weather and the arrangement of the chairs.

After this, in college, she began a larger scrapbook (maroon binding, brown cover), which described her social life there. She graduated from Newcomb College in 1926 with a B.A. in French. She wrote there for Jambalaya, a student literary magazine. She played the harp; this harp was later owned by friends from Gibson Island. She was a member of Chi Omega, the debating team, the French club, the Mandolin and Guitar club (she also played the harp), and Alpha Sigma Sigma, a junior-senior honorary fraternity.

In the "Author Index" to the Newcomb Arcade, the following articles are listed by her, under a couple of different version of her name. A couple were sent to me by the Newcomb alumni office:

After college, her debut season was from 1926-27. She traveled and danced with the Orpheum in the fall (Sept-Nov of 1927). She was marred March 12, 1931. Much of this is recorded in her mother book of newspaper clippings of the social life of the town. She was quite the debutante. There are few to no pictures in her album of these years-only some in 1929 of Gus.

Her mother, Helen DeGrange (Weenie), kept a book full of clippings for the 1926 and 1927 debutante year, and after, which was her daughter Helen's debut year. In this book, Gustave Pitard appears once that I can find among all of the clippings (before the wedding announcement at the end), on a guest list on the first page, as attending a party by "Mr. and Mrs. Crawford Ellis" at the New Orleans Country Club in honor of Miss Helen McLellan. Presumably this is in the fall of 1926; no dates are on the clippings. Sara Fayssoux was also there. Other debutantes of her year were Sedley Hayward, "Dimple" Fayssoux (=?), Adele Cleveland, Libby Westerfield, Leda de la Vergne, Stella Walshe (daughter I guess of Frank Walsh, who went on trips on the Spikes), Alice and Elizabeth Pool, Elizabeth Broussard, Evelyn Jahncke, France Kittredge, Mary Louise Syme. Others are there also. Blanche Gelpi's name also appears in the winter 1926-1927 social season. Mr. and Mrs. W.H. McFadden, who were cousins, also threw parties this year.

Helen was Queen of Proteus in Feb. 1927. In her court were Etolia Simmons, Leda de la Vergne, Isabelle Capdevielle, Alice Pool, and Mildred Brown,

She was in the Orpheum as a dancer, billed as a "Queen of Proteus," from Sept-Nov 1927; she toured around the South. She attended the Kentucky Derby in Spring of 1928 and of 1930 with her mother. She had her portrait painted by Helen Turner in 1929; it was displayed for a while at the High Museum in Atlanta. It is now at the Historic New Orleans Collection, visible here: http://hnoc.minisisinc.com/thnoc/scripts/mwimain.dll/144/M3/WEB_DETAIL_M3/SISN%2047390?SESSIONSEARCH

She was married in the Spring of 1931.

Times-Picayune, 14 Mar 1931:
Mr. and Mrs. Asahel Walker McLellan have sent out cards announcing the marriage of their daughter, Miss Helen DeGrange McLellan, to Mr. Gustave Jean Pitard Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Pitard iwll be at home after March 31, at 331 Pine St.

Times-Picayune, 16 July 1933:
Mr. and Mrs. Gustave Pitard, Jr., with their little son, took possession their new home, 241 Audubon Boulevard, corner of Clairborn Ave.

In evenings she enjoyed a martini, in a delicately thin glass. She was very smart and witty, and did not suffer fools. She was a wonderful cook, which she learning growing up from her house cook in New Orleans. 
McLellan, Helen Degrange (I6)
 
10511 She knitted the cap with the blue beads [?]; she never married. Umland, Margaretha Louise (I4189)
 
10512 She led a life much different than her siblings. She left home between the 1850 and 1860 censuses. According to a History of Lancaster County:

"Mary Louisa took an active part on the side of the Southern Confederacy in the late civil war. She crossed the lines in 1860, and was at once appointed chief matron of the Howard Hospital, at Richmond. To procure medical supplies she volunteered to run the blockade, and did so from Wilmington, N. C., though chased by a man-of-war. She visited the West Indies, Halifax, Québec, and Montréal. At the latter place she was detained till the St. Lawrence was frozen over, and she was compelled to transport her supplies on sleds through Lower Canada and New Brunswick, a distance of five hundred miles, to Halifax. Thence she sailed, in January, 1865, and ran the blockade at Galveston, Texas. Though closely pursued by gunboats, she took her cargo one hundred and ninety miles up the Brazos River to Port Sullivan, in Milam County. The war had then closed, and she engaged in teaching a classical school at Port Sullivan. In 1866 she was married to Col. John Coleman Roberts, of Texas, a wealthy young Kentuckian, who had been an officer in the Confederate service, and had made her acquaintance in Richmond. They have one son, Edward Walker Roberts." 
Walker, Mary Louisa (I9975)
 
10513 She left 4 children at her death. Sellers, Sarah (I5351)
 
10514 She likely died in childbirth. Groos records that she gave birth to un-named twins on 20 March 1840 and died the next day, a month before her own death. Schüttenhelm, Maria Magdalena (I17059)
 
10515 She lived and was married in New York City. Scudder, Celete (I6426)
 
10516 She lived at the Berry estate called "Daaumolderey" in Montgomery Co., MD. JL Sr. obtained this info. from Berry family notes. Lansdale, Eleanor (I6241)
 
10517 She lived in Belfast, ME, and then in California, probably with her sister Helen. McLellan, Caroline (I3379)

10520 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Living (I3434)
 
10521 She made the DAR application which traces her line back to John Gregg who served in the Revolution. Gregg, Inez (I12830)
 
10522 She married a Belt. Dulany, Catherine "Kitty" (I4439)
 
10523 She married a Hoff; mentioned in her father's will. Johnson, Ann (I2799)
 
10524 She married a man named Bailey in Troy, NY, and had no children. McLellan, Sally (I3254)
 
10525 She married a Montgomery. Dulany, Margaret "Peggy" (I4440)
 
10526 She married a Morrell; mentioned in her father's will. Johnson, Elizabeth (I2800)
 
10527 She married her cousin. This couple had 7 children. Warfield, Lydia Hammond (I11540)
 
10528 She married her first cousin, and was read out of Concord meeting in 1787 because of it; her husband's mother, Lydia Brinton, was her father John's sister.

According to the Darlington history, she "received a certificate from Concord, 11m.1.1781, to New Garden, and thence back to Concord, 12m.4, 1784. She was disowned 4m.4, 1787 for marriage to her first cousin, Caleb Woodward, b. 10m.10, 1757; son of Nayle and Lydia (Brinton) Woodward, of East Marlborough township." 
Brinton, Rebecca (I5810)
 
10529 She married her older sister Melvina's husband after Melvina died. Hamilton, Julia Ann (I4230)
 
10530 She married her sister Anna's widower. Walker, Phebe (I9946)
 
10531 She married into the Bowie/Claggett family, who are related to the Lansdales. This forms a connection between the ancestry of Metta Virginia Tomlinson and her husband John Lansdale, Jr., whose Lansdale family married into the Bowies. It's not a blood relation.

First, the Courts are direct ancestors of of Metta Virginia Tomlinson in a direct line.

Second, to trace the connection to the Bowies and Lansdales: Richard Claggett's sister was Eleanor Bowie Claggett.

Eleanor's son, Benjamin (Berry), married Eleanor Lansdale, the daughter of Thomas Lancaster Lansdale and Margaret Taneyhill. In other words, Mary Marshall's son-in-law married a Lansdale. Eleanor was an aunt (GGG) of John Lansdale, Jr.; her brother Richard Lansdale, who m. Jamima Hyatt, was the GG-Grandfather of John Lansdale, Jr. 
Marshall, Mary (I9556)
 
10532 She married out of meeting, and died without issue. Carson, Rachel (I13221)
 
10533 She married out of meeting. Gregg, Mary (I12188)

10535 She married twice (to Francis Swanson, who d. by 1714; and to James Ward). Plummer, Susannah (I9273)
 
10536 She married twice, and was twice widowed. Wells, Mary (I5411)
 
10537 She married two von Stempel cousins: the first named Heinrich Magnus, the second named Heinrich Wilhelm. von Stempel, Dorothea Gottlieb (I11814)
 
10538 She may be the sister of Elizabeth who married her husband's brother Ephraim. Williams, Mary (I5900)
 
10539 She may be the sister of Margaret, who married her husband's brother James. Williams, Elizabeth (I11974)
 
10540 She may have been French, her name being a possible corruption of "Disseau." Dissosway, Elizabeth (I906)
 
10541 She moved to Davidson Co., Tennessee with her brothers around 1800. Demoss, Tabitha (I12592)
 
10542 She moved to Kentucky after marrying Caywood. What of their descendants? Hixson, Ann "Nancy" (I9311)
 
10543 She moved to Mason Co., Kentucky, where she lived with her husband. Waters, Nancy (I5323)
 
10544 She moved to Prince William Co., Virginia abt. 1770. She apparently had 5 children overall with Rut Johnson. Hixson, Lydia (I9303)
 
10545 She moved to Virginia. Hutchinson, Dorothea (I867)
 
10546 She must have died between 1847, when her last child was born, and 1850, when John Farrow married Tabitha Knight. Unknown (I17162)
 
10547 She must have died young. I've seen no other record of her, and the biography of her brother only mentions living relations--not mentioning the children who died young of Asahel Cooper Sr.'s first wife Ann Sullivan. Cooper, Eliza A. Loney (I12715)
 
10548 She never married. Hambleton, Lydia (I5726)
 
10549 She never married. Hambleton, Louisa (I5728)
 
10550 She never married. Lansdale, Frances "Fanny" Virginia (I6510)
 
10551 She never married. Waters, Courtney (I10701)
 
10552 She only appears because of the 1946 divorce record. Betty (I11968)
 
10553 She only appears in the Simpson history; I don't see her in the census. James, Eliza Pleasant (I7278)
 
10554 She only appears, that I've seen, on the 1860 census. Hartman, Cilena (I10872)
 
10555 She or her sister Horatia wrote a brief note (2 pages) about family history. Palmer, Sadie (I13693)
 
10556 She or her sister Sadie wrote a brief note (2 pages) about family history. Palmer, Horatia (I13694)
 
10557 She outlived her husband, and was, according to her will, survived by 6 children: three daughters and three sons. Beverly, it seems, had died young.

She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page because her ancestry contains a number of Quakers.

Presumably her body was moved to Glenwood Baptist cemetery before Triadelphia was flooded. 
Franklin, Harriet (I272)
 
10558 she pre-deceased her father Hyatt, Aquilla (I2632)
 
10559 she pre-deceased her father Hyatt, Eleanor (I3854)
 
10560 She preserved a family bible that is mentioned in Angelyn V. Weems Parks, History of Ida V. Hartge and Wilson T. Weems of Shady Side, Maryland. Information about her descendants comes from there.

How is she related to the Cowman family as described in the Thomas Book? 
Cowman, Mary (I13782)
 
10561 She preserved the history of the Hyatt family written by her husband, and was a "revered genealogist of her husband's family" in her own right. Beebe, Audella "Della" (I3944)
 
10562 She probably moved to Loudoun Co. after the death of her husband to live with her mother, and to draw on the support of her brother John. Simpson, Violinda (I10624)
 
10563 She records on the marriage record that she had been married and divorced before, in Leesburg, Florida. This also gives her exact birthdate in the margin. According to the license application, she had been married and divorced before, in Leesburg, Florida. She may be the Evelyn M. Little, daughter of Henry B & Augusta Little of Fairfield, Covington Co., Alabama, as in the 1920 census. Little, Evelyn (I14710)
 
10564 She remarried in 1710. Prince, Judith (I13259)
 
10565 She said she was aged about 56 in 1728. Read, Elizabeth (I8976)
 
10566 She says that she uses Passmore (S250) and Myers (S549) as her sources for the Moore family. Source (S265)
 
10567 She seems never to have married. McLellan, Ethel Francis (I13701)
 
10568 She seems to be alive when her son Pierre is married. Denis, Prégente (I15319)
 
10569 She seems to be Ralph Johnson's second wife; he was much older than she, and he also apparently had a son by a former marriage. McLellan, Francis Decker (I3377)
 
10570 She seems to be unmarried on the 1891 census, living with her parents, aged 26. Wooding, Mary Ann (I14074)
 
10571 She seems to have been the money-earner for the family--she was living in her mother's household--in 1920, working as a book-keeper at Western Union.

Harris Franklin records her as the mother of Geraldine MacDonald, but the census says that her sister Francis Macdonald is the mother; I'm going with the census. 
Franklin, Katherine (I6610)
 
10572 She seems to have died before 1910, according to her mother's obituaries. Tanneret, Mary (I6103)
 
10573 She seems to have divorced her husband. Kyle, Ruth (I103)
 
10574 She seems to have left her husband and moved back to DeSoto Co., Mississippi by 1870, where she was living with "Alfred Hutchinson," born in South Carolina, presumably her father, and children born in Arkansas and Mississippi. Hutchinson, Mary (I8288)
 
10575 She seems to have married an unknown Gregg in Loudoun Co., Virginia, and had a series of children. Tobin, Ruth (I9839)
 
10576 She served as "royal housekeeper for the dowager queen Hedwig Eleonora, widow of King Charles X." Hendrickson may have been the name of her first husband. Salinas, Beata Jacobine (I12345)
 
10577 She shares a gravestone with her husband. Black, Ellen "Nellie" (I4210)
 
10578 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Living (I15983)
 
10579 She supplied the records on this branch of the family to Edwin P. Davis (author of S199). Mitchell, Kate Linthicum (I9691)
 
10580 She too is from a family of Sadsbury Mtg. Quakers.

"Mr. Walker was married Nov. 2, 1831, to Eliza Ann, daughter of Abner and Mary (Kinsey) Brooke, of Sadsbury. She was of the highly respectable families of Brooke, in Montgomery, and Kinsey, in Bucks County, that were among the very early settlers in those counties." 
Brooke, Eliza Ann (I9961)
 
10581 She traces her military ancestor to John Gregg d. 1799; her National DAR no. was 292280 Source (S582)
 
10582 She was "a minor in 1658, a ward of her mother" (S203 179). Yate, Elizabeth (I9249)
 
10583 She was "very aged" in 1693. She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page. Mary (I3517)
 
10584 She was 14 when she married. Bateman, Martha (I4288)
 
10585 she was 59, born in Texas; she was 20 when she was married; and her father was born in Louisiana, her mother in Mississippi DePass, Sarah Virginia (I16217)
 
10586 She was 7 in 1776, in the Harford Co. census for Susquehanna Hundred. Donovan, Martha (I10674)
 
10587 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Living (I258)
 
10588 She was a cousin of her husband Samuel's first wife. Garrettson, Martha (I9122)
 
10589 She was a cousin to her husband's first wife. According to McLellan, "Alexander McLellan's descendants, though both his wives are descended in a direct line from Rev. John Robinson of Leyden, Holland, the pilgrim pastor who died in Holland in 1625." Donaldson, Belinda (I3068)
 
10590 She was a cousin to her husband's second wife. According to McLellan, "Alexander McLellan's descendants, though both his wives are descended in a direct line from Rev. John Robinson of Leyden, Holland, the pilgrim pastor who died in Holland in 1625." Davis, Chloe (I1484)
 
10591 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Living (I3310)
 
10592 She was a descendant through her father of John Alden, who immigrated on the Mayflower. Adams, Lydia (I3371)
 
10593 She was a first cousin of Martha Custis Washington. According to Butler, "she was the sister of Colonel John Minor, one of the first settlers on Whiteley Creek [in Greene Co., PA], a daughter of Stephen and Athaliah (Updyke) Minor." Miner, Sarah (I9500)
 
10594 She was a first cousin to her husband (once removed), though the marriage of her grandfather, William Robinson, to Hannah McLellan (I3218), her husband's aunt (and her grandmother). Robinson, Horatia Ware (I6209)
 
10595 She was a free woman of color. According to family history, she was from Plaquemines Parish. This may be her, then, on the 1880 census in the parish's 10th Ward (and I trace down her family based on this theory).

She was employed in the DeGrange household as a domestic servant, where she met her husband George Edward. She passed away at a relatively young age, and her husband put their four children in an orphanage run by the Sisters of the Holy Family.

Her death date is taken from the birth date of her son Henry. 
Davis, Minerva (I7179)
 
10596 She was a maid of Rex in 1916. Degrange, Josephine (I3043)
 
10597 She was a member of the Women's Mutual Improvement Association proclaimed in the caption that members "Represent the Sterling Qualities of American Womanhood." She was interested in family history, and several of her letters are at Essex. She was killed in 1917 when 30 guests collapsed a rickety porch during a Silver Tea at the Brookeville Academy in Sandy Spring, where she taught.

She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page because her husband's family were Quakers. 
Lansdale, Ella Mariah "Nellie" (I330)
 
10598 She was a painter, and part of the Newcomb circle of artists. Other Bres family artists are Selina Bres Gregory and her daughter Angela Gregory.

See the entry for her cousin Joseph Hughes Bres for a biographical history of the Bres family. 
Bres, Marie Ernestine (I96)
 
10599 She was a Quaker from Philadephia Friends Meeting. Roberts, Jane (I7961)
 
10600 She was a Quaker minister, and had visited Penn's colony in 1697/98; she moved with her husband; she paid a visit home in 1710. Elizabeth (I11366)
 
10601 She was a quaker who only married to Thomas Sprigg when he converted. Galloway, Elizabeth (I8023)
 
10602 She was a Quaker who seems to have convinced her husband. Morgan, Jemima (I12104)
 
10603 She was a Quaker, but her husband was not, at marriage. Because their children were born/recorded in the West River meeting books, he must have converted to Quakerism at their marriage.

She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page.

On this family, see:

1. Giles, Louis F., "The Giles Family of Harford County," MGSB 35 (1) (Winter 1994) 3-21.
2. Giles, Louis F., III, "The Giles Family of Old Somerset," MGSB 27 (2) (Spring 1987) 226-232. 
Giles, Elizabeth (I4065)
 
10604 She was a Queen of Rex in 1924. Fayssoux, Margaret Hayward (I3308)
 
10605 She was a remarkable woman and a key to much later genealogical history, if only by the number of her descendants.

According to Richard Hutchinson, "William And Ann (Simpson) Hutchinson lived in both Middlesex County and Monmouth County, New Jersey, in the early 1700s. They had 13 children. We know this fact because of the inscription on Ann's gravestone in the family burial plot on their homestead land. The inscription reads: "Sacred to the Memory of Ann Hutchinson, Relict of Wm Hutchinson Esqr. departed this Life Jany. 4th 1801. Aged 101 years 9 Months and seven days. She was mother of 13 children, and Grand Mother and great grand mother, & great great Grand Mother of 375 Persons." Their first born child was a Robert Hutchinson, born 11 December 1720. Therefore, one can assume that they were married in, or about, 1720."

See under her husband's narrative for information about her burial place. 
Simpson, Ann (I763)
 
10606 She was a sister to John Gregg Fee the abolitionist and founder of Berea college, but in 1849 she was married to a slaveowner. Fee, Adeliza (I9899)
 
10607 She was a widow by then, and "age 50" Simmons, Caroline Rebecca (I117)
 
10608 She was a widow living in Taylor's Court, Bow Lane, London in 1705 (S192, 71). Woodward, Mary (I9203)
 
10609 She was a widow when she married Benjamin Waters, so Fowler may not be her maiden name. Fowler, Hannah (I8689)
 
10610 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Living (I5025)
 
10611 She was adopted from the orphanage asylum by the Harding family, who were friends of her mother's.

In the 1900 census she has been married to J.D. Stephens, and has not yet had any children. He is a plantation overseer.

In the 1920 census her birth place is given as Maryland, but this must be her; she has four girls, and children's names match up with her obituary. 
Bemiss, Alice (I13046)
 
10612 She was aged 18 at her marriage (according to the 1930 census, where she is aged 22). This would mean that she was married in about 1926. This differs from the Von Rosenberg family history, which only gives one wife for William Wesley, Murrel Adams. I assume that Murrel Adams was his first wife, and this one was his second. This second wife makes sense to have married him in 1926 because the children are born soon after that.

It is conceivable that her names is "Lessie Murrell Adams," but the dates don't fit. 
Lessie (?) M. (I10514)
 
10613 She was aged “vingt-deuze” at her marriage. Boiaval, Elizabeth (I8340)
 
10614 She was an art student of her father's. He died in her house in February of 1891. Lungkwitz, Helene Clara (I1878)
 
10615 She was an immigrant from Ireland. O'Brian, Nancy (I2244)
 
10616 She was Andrew Harwood's second wife.

In the 1880 census, she and her husband are living next to a Luce famiy, Joseph (aged 57), and his wife Emma B. (aged 28), all born in Massachusetts. 
Luce, Margaret Bleecker (I1671)
 
10617 She was apparently her husband John's second wife.

Her brother-in-law William also married a Knox. 
Knox, Joanna (I8186)
 
10618 She was apparently named in honor of William of Orange, which tells something of the family's protestant political leanings, and the reason for emigration after supporting the Stuarts. Weems, Williamina (I7057)
 
10619 She was appointed an elder of Goshen Meeting in 1796. Pratt, Sarah (I2537)
 
10620 She was at the State Normal School in Towson, Maryland in March of 1934. Riggs, Katherine Lansdale (I599)
 
10621 She was born 10 days before her father's death. JLSr. remembers meeting her in Baltimore when she was an old, and still handsome, lady.

She was still living in 1902, according to receipts I have. Her portrait, with her husband, was painted by Hans Heinrich (or Henry) Bebie (d. 1888).

This couple had no children, but they adopted Eleanor Freeland. According to Eleanor's letter dated Nov. 10, 1926, they were married in the parlor at Essex "over 70 years ago."

It would seem that she died around 1902; there are receipts from 1903 which describe Eleanor their adopted daughter as the adminstrator of Dr. Robert's estate. 
Franklin, Maria Waters (I351)
 
10622 She was born 1678, but baptized 1698, apparently to convert to be Episcopalian to marry her husband. She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page.

She inherited 164 acres of Bridge Hill and Doden when her mother died, and this couple lived at Bridge Hill, where all of their children were born (S207, p. 33). 
Plummer, Elizabeth (I3453)
 
10623 She was born during the last of the great outbreaks of the Plague that had started in Europe in 1348 and recurred for centuries. This is why she was baptized two years late. The Parish records for Allauch and the Marseille area are very sparse for the later part of 1720. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Plague_of_Marseille Jullien, Claire (I16331)
 
10624 She was born in the winter, in the middle of a great blizzard.

In the photo, John Lansdale is on the left, Margaret Hall is in the middle, and Chloe Wimberly is on the right. It is at "Enfield" in April of 1906.

According to Phoebe Taylor (Jan, 2004), "Chloe Wimberly Lansdale and Douglass Riggs helped my father-in-law [Richard Hyatt Sr.] raise Margaret, Richard and Tom after Olivia drowned in that Maryland mental hospital. Aunt Chloe died in the early 1970s after a long nursing home stay in Sandy Spring following a debilitating stroke. Douglass has also died." 
Lansdale, Chloe Wimberly (I36)
 
10625 She was born in Virginia, but her grandmother Elizabeth Brashear had moved from Virginia to Maryland in 1663; there must have been movement back and forth up and down the Chesapeake, then, in her parents' and grandparents' generations. Sellman, Ann (I3328)
 
10626 she was born on a trip north from new Orleans to Philadelphia. According to her sister Cecilia's notes in the family records,

"Nous sommes partié pour le nort le 27 d'Avril 1851."
"Nous sommes arrivé de Nord let 3 Septembre 1851."

In 1870, I assume that "Laura, Carlene, and Emma" are Daniel Maupay's children living with their oldest sister Cecilia and his son-in-law Gustave Pitard's family:

10627 She was born only three days before her mother died.

The dates line up with James Savage's first wife, but she carries the middle name of his second. 
Savage, Susan Duff (I5853)
 
10628 She was buried with her parents' family, the Coopers; this is the inscription:

NOT DEAD BUT ONLY SLEEPING
MY DARLING MAMMA
MARGARET ANNA COOPER
WIDOW OF THE LATE
THOMAS YOUNG PAYNE TUREMAN
BORN
JUNE 16, 1848
ENTERED INTO HEAVEN
DECEMBER 2, 1902
A NATIVE OF NEW ORLEANS
MAY HER SOUL REST IN PEACE
"THE DEATH OF THE SAINTS
IS DEATH OF THE LORD" 
Cooper, Margaret Anna (I4360)
 
10629 She was called "Aunt Mary" by the family of John Lansdale, Jr.; his daughter Mary Lansdale (I29) was named after her, as her family were close friends of the Lansdales.

She was apparently quite a pistol of a personality. She was a strong woman, long-lived, who drank old-fashioneds until the day she died.

She lived at “Tudor,” where there are a number of family pictures take around 1940. Tudor has since burned. 
Estep, Mary Louisa (I5101)
 
10630 She was called "Lottchen." According to Alma Julie von Rosenberg's notes, she was "the daughter of the brother of Dorothea Froelich . . . [and] a cousin of the children of Peter Carl von R [the immigrant] and the very special favorite of Johannes Carl von Rosenberg [Peter Carl's son b. 1826-d. 1906, and Alma Julie's grandfather, so presumably this story has some authority]. This Charlotte, called "Lottchen," was the cousin to whom Carl Johannes [sic] finally condescended to answer a letter after he had firmly declared he would never write a letter to any one in Germany again, because of the grief of the mistreatment of them all during the political upheaval, the sacrifice of their beautiful home, the loss of their jobs after a splendid education—and to Texas for a better life—and they found it too. And this letter was answered after thirty years—because she pleaded for news from them all." Froelich, Caroline Marie Charlotte (I5475)
 
10631 She was called "Mère." There is a picture of her in family video. Gamard, Lucie Caroline (I45)
 
10632 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Living (I5031)
 
10633 She was descended from a Revolutionary War veteran, Sgt. Joseph Coombs (1752-1817), who appears in the DAR registers; several of her descendants name her as a step on the way back. Coombs, Nancy (I3574)
 
10634 She was descended from Chester Co., Pennsylvania Quaker families. According to the Woodward history, "E. Malinda, daughter of Caleb, married John Lansdale, and had three children; she resides in Washington, D.C., and, with her sister, Mary Edwards, are the only two of the family now living [in 1879]."

She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page. 
Woodward, Emma Malinda (I6879)
 
10635 She was descended from Friends in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania, from Sadsbury Meeting. Her father had moved to New Orleans in 1830 from Phila., and in the process moved away from Quakerism.

Despite her northern and Quaker ancestry, she was very involved in the United Confederate Veterans association. Confederate Veterans July 1909: 7-8 Magazine records her election, at the South Carolina UCV Reunion, as a vice-president for the Mississippi Chapter. Also mentioned is "Mrs. W.J. Behan," of New Orleans, re-elected as the President, and Daisy M.L. Hodgson of New Orleans, re-elected as recording secretary.

One meeting in New Orleans of the local Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy, on Jan. 19, 1901 (Lee's Birthday) from the Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 28, ed. Reverend J. William Jones, can found at the Perseus Project (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/); it records that she was elected president of the local chapter in 1901:

"The natal day of General Robert Edward Lee, appropriately observed throughout the South, Jan. 19, 1901.
The exercises at New Orleans, La., under the auspices of the local Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy, peculiarly impressive. [ . . . ]
Mrs. Alden McLellan, Chairman of Committee on Designs, said:
Your Committee on Designs begs leave to report that during the past year floral tributes were sent for [ . . . ]
The annual election of officers was then declared in order, and Mrs. Dickson was gracefully honored with a renomination. In a few pleasant remarks Mrs. Dickson thanked the Chapter for the honor conferred upon her, but declined the nomination, expressing her belief in rotation in office.
Mrs. Alden McLellan, wife of General Alden McLellan, President of the Soldiers' Home, and one of the most lovable women in the Chapter and a most devoted worker was then put in nomination for the Presidency and unanimously elected.
In a few pleasant remarks Mrs. McLellan expressed her appreciation of the high honor conferred upon her. [ . . . ]
The hearing of reports and election of officers being finished, the remainder of the session was devoted to exercises in which the most beautiful and touching tributes were paid to the memory of General Lee. [ . . . ]"

She presided later that year at Jefferson Davis's birthday celebration (see in the Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 29, ed. Reverend J. William Jones, found at the Perseus Project [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/]).

She is buried in the McLellan tomb in Lafayette Cemetery, with this inscription:

SARAH. J. COOPER
WIFE OF
ALDEN McLELLAN
BORN OCT. 2, 1844
DIED OCT. 18, 1911
[OBVERSE]
SARAH J. COOPER 
Cooper, Sarah Jane (I52)
 
10636 She was descended from the Mason family of Virginia. Page, Jane Byrd (I12418)
 
10637 She was descended from the Ridgelys, but since it is via a female line, Newman does not explain how (see 2.461, 3.152, where Elizabeth Ridgely m. Thomas Maccauley; and 3.176). Maccauley, Mabel (I5771)
 
10638 She was first married to a man named Montana. She had four children by that first marriage. Mangiardi, Frances (I14696)
 
10639 She was first married to a Mr. Chubbuck; living with her in the 1880 census is a "son," Edward, aged 12, whom I guess is by her first marriage. Terrell, Clara (I6386)
 
10640 She was for a time living in Jackson, Mississippi with her uncle Robert Pitard, the violinst. In her 1923 wedding announcement to Paul Turnbull she is named as his former assistant.

U.S. City Directories have an entry for "Blanche C. Turnbull" in 1925 living at 3112 W. College in Shreveport, La. In 1956, she is still living in Shreveport, a office secretary. 
Coffee, Blanche M. (I7587)
 
10641 She was from Saint-Domingue. She most likely fled the slave revolts on the islands in the 1790s. Many of those fleeing went to Cuba, esp. to Santiago, where their daughter Isabel was born. Benjamin's baptismal certificate notes the parents' origins.

The only person I can find who might be her in the 1850 census is the "widow Laurent," living in the 3rd Ward, 1st Municipality of New Orleans, but she is aged 39 (and born in Lousiana), not over 75. 
Laurens, Susanna (I5016)
 
10642 She was her husband Heinrich's second wife. Named as the daughter of Johann Wilhelm on the Geschlechts register.

According to the von Lieven history, she lived with her husband for 43 years 6 months, and gave birth to 2 sons, 6 daughters, of whom 4 daughters survived to adulthood.

On the von Rosenberg Stammtafel she is named Anna Katharine v. Kosskolls Berghoff. 
von Koskull, Anna Catherina (I16621)
 
10643 She was in some way disabled. In his will, her father George says that “I will and bequeath all of the property real and personal of which I die possessed to my Wife to assist in raising the children dependant up on at this writing and to care for as much as possible my youngest Daughter who is of unsound mind.” Hemenway, Rose (I14626)
 
10644 She was Joseph Cope's second wife. Gilbert, Eliza (I10840)
 
10645 She was killed in a sleighing accident at the foot of Catholic Church Hill in Owensville. McCaleb, Annie C. (I7110)
 
10646 She was killed in a traffic accident. Brown, Blanche (I14572)
 
10647 She was known as "Granmama" to her grandchildren. She was also the family historian for the von Rosenberg family, and the author and compiler of the first volume of the von Rosenberg family history. von Rosenberg, Alma Julie (I14)
 
10648 She was known as "Julchen." She had 12 children, and so was a very busy housekeeper. She and her neighbors would arrange turns cooking soup for more indigent neighbors. She was a small person, very energetic, and wore her hair in braids around her head with a velvet bow. She died at 65 of uremia. Groos, Julie Wilhelmine Christine (I19)
 
10649 She was known as "Mistress Anne," and was a Quaker Minister. Also called "Hannah."

According to Kelley, "An interesting minute of a 1694 Meeting at the home of Richard Galloway II, now ‘Cedar Park,' follows: ‘It is the unanimous consent of the Women Friends of the Women's Yearly Meeting than an Epistell be writ unto our friends and sister in London and it is agreed by the consent of the said Meeting that our friend and sister Anna Galloway should write it.' Ann Galloway, the wife of Samuel Galloway I, was called a Quaker Minister in 1697. As has been previously indicated, she is affectionately referred to by her present-day descendants as ‘Mistress Ann'" (59).

Was she, possibly, related to the Richard Webb who immigrated to Chester Co., Pennsylvania in 1700? 
Webb, Anne (I7952)
 
10650 She was known as "Weenie," and was much beloved. Clearly, from her portrait and textiles she produced, including a quilt and two couch pillows that remain, her favorite color was maroon. Some of her tapestries/wall hangings are in the Louisiana State Museum in their textiles collection, as examples of Newcomb Style Art Embroidery.

She was for a time the Recording Secretary of the Orleans club. She also kept clippings of all social events in New Orleans which her family was involved with or attended--and there were many.

Note this resource, described here: http://www.nutrias.org/~nopl/spec/scrapbks.htm, in the Scrapbook collection of the Louisiana Division of the New Orleans Public Library:
Programs, ca. 1896-1906 [#35]; 2 v.
Clippings from programs of concerts, operas, plays and other events in New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, and possibly elsewhere. At least one of the volumes was kept by Mrs. A. W. McClellan. Both are small (6"x9") notebooks with clippings pasted in. Handwritten marginal notes indicate when, where, and with whom the various performances were viewed. Volume 2 appears to have been used as a diary or for other writings before the clippings were added. It also includes a program for the inaugural ceremonies of E. A. Alderman as president of Tulane University in 1901, a partial program for the St. John Rowing Club's races in 1900, and a partial program for the Crescent City Jockey Club dated March 17, 1900. Volume 1 includes a "programme" for New York's Cafe Boulevard. 
Degrange, Helen Pauline "Weenie" (I51)
