10501 She is the sister of “The late Robert J. Pitard" in her obituary.

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. 
Mayorga, Leonarda A. (I14257)
 
10502 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Living (I8998)
 
10503 She is the step-daughter of Friedrich Ernst, one of the first German pioneers in Texas.

This couple had 8 children. 
Brey, Johanna (I4557)
 
10504 She is the. head of household; her husband must have died by this point. aged 43. She was born in Lousiana; her father was born in France, and her mother in Louisiana. She was working as an insurance agent. Julie R. (I11964)
 
10505 She is “age de vingt deux ans” on her marriage record, which proves to be a couple of years off. Tanguy, Michelle (I15385)
 
10506 She is, I think, descended from the Lee family of Virginia, of Lighthorse Harry and Robert E. Lee fame. Lee, Hannah (I3975)
 
10507 She joined a nun's order, the "Order of Madames of the Sacred Heart." Digges, Sister Margaret Mary (I11519)
 
10508 She kept a journal which survives, held by descendants. Walker, Sarah "Sallie" Francis (I9980)
 
10509 She kept an occasional journal which is recorded in the Froelich Book (8-9). She had to flee Memel in August 1757 with her four-month old son, during the Seven Years War, after the Russians took the town following a brief siege. The child died that October. 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:

McLellan, Helen de Lange

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)
 
10518 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Private (I2135)
 
10519 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Living (I9910)
 
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)

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:

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)
 
10651 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Living (I2133)
 
10652 She was living in her granddaughter Aline's household. Normand, Cidalise (I4857)
 
10653 She was living in Scranton, PA in about 1920. Hutton, Edith (I4078)
 
10654 She was living with her father Joseph in the 1860 census, named Priscilla Busey.

Her children Joseph and Thomas were living with her in 1860. Joseph died in West River a few years later, and Capt. Thomas Skinner was named as his father. I assume that Thomas, a ship's captain, was often away, and that Priscilla lived in her father's household with their children.

The children do not seem to have returned to Baltimore.

Dr. Waters' account book notes that her account was "settled in full" in November of 1867 by "M.R. Bucey," who I assume is her sister Marion Rebecca. When this appears in Dr. Waters' account books, it often means that the patient has died. 
Bucey, Priscilla (I6847)
 
10655 She was living with her sister Mary Strain at the 1880 census.

There was another Nancy Jane Strain who m. William Bowie on May 1, 1834; this is not the same! That Nancy Jane was the daughter of Robert and Mary Wilson Strain. According to the Bowie family history, the Nancy J. Strain who married William Bowie had a younger brother James Madison Strain who lived in Pittsboro, MS (317). 
Strain, Nancy Jane (I3869)
 
10656 She was married at age 17; the Justice of the Peace signed a consent for her to marry JH DeGrange; the guardian's/notary's name is Drosain Matrijean. [This is the husband of her half-sister Julia Fields.]

On her marriage certificate, she is named the daughter of "John McMilland & Mary."

Her funeral was at St. Theresa's Church. She is buried in the DeGrange tomb in Metairie Cemetery, New Orleans.

A burial record in St. Louis #2 simply says "Degrange, infant of Mrs., died June 11, 1874." 
McMillan, Ellen (I199)
 
10657 She was married at the Watkins-Hecht house, "Middlegate," in Pass Christian, a house with some beautiful gardens that was apparently lost in Katrina. Hecht, Dorothy Watkins (I6351)
 
10658 She was married before she was 16. She was "beloved by all" and fondly remembered by her grandchildren since she took care of them after their mother, her daughter Johanna's, death, until her son-in-law Peter Carl re-married four years later. Veithofer, Johanna Dorothea (I3619)
 
10659 She was married first to a Dent. Wilkinson, Rebecca (I4420)
 
10660 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Private (I28)
 
10661 She was not Margery Beall, daughter of Ninian Beall? Wight, Margery (I9050)
 
10662 She was not quite 28 when married. Ogilvie, Amalie Dorothea (I12976)
 
10663 She was of Welsh background. She was a nurse, and met her husband when he was wounded during the Revolution. Jones, Elve Ap Catesby (I4011)
 
10664 She was probably born in St. Domingue in 1804. Church records are missing after 1803 in Port-au-Prince. Her family was in Port-au-Prince then, since her father signed another birth record there as a witness that year, and her brother Augustin died there that year. Pitard, Angelique Adelaide (I17188)
 
10665 She was probably, according to Newman, the daughter of George Traherne of Virginia. Traherne, Elizabeth (I12102)
 
10666 She was read out of the Phila. Monthly Meeting for her second marriage to John Clark in 1746. Bolton, Hannah (I16350)
 
10667 She was reburied in Grandview Cemetery in Campbell Co. in 1965. Houseman, Katherine (I9881)
 
10668 She was related to the Carrolls of Carrollton in some way. Carroll, Mary Clementine (I12353)
 
10669 She was second married to a von Ruck or von Ryk. von Rosenberg, Louise (I16808)
 
10670 She was the 6th grandchild of Metta Brossman, the only one (I think) born after her death in 1928. The first 4 were photographed at her funeral, standing in a row with the tallest behind. von Rosenberg, Lois June (I288)
 
10671 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Living (I11010)
 
10672 She was the daughter of Richard Warfield and Sarah Gaither (See Newman, AAG 1.90, 1.447)

She was listed as Head of Household in the 1790 census, so her husband must have died that year before it was taken. 
Warfield, Elizabeth (I2071)
 
10673 She was the executrix of her husband's will in 1792-93.

Her Boothbay birth record says December 2, 1741, but this must be an error for Dec. 2, 1751. She is listed as Israel Davis' second child, and Hannah Davis, b. 1755, is described as her third.

Charles, the son of Israel, is baptized in Ipswich in 1750. Sarah daughter of Israel is baptized there in 1751. Only the year is given for the two children. I assume, though, that these account for this place which Israel lived before his second marriage there, ins 1754, to Sarah Dresser. 
Davis, Sarah (I6113)
 
10674 She was the last Battee who owned Essex; she passed it on in her will to her nephew Benjamin Franklin (1783-1822, the son of her sister Anne Battee and Jacob Franklin). His portrait was in the parlor at Essex.

Will, 39 fol. 109, dated Mar. 14, 1822. Mary Deale here is Mary Franklin Deale (1777-1812; I3330); her son is James Deale (1810-1876, I3817):

"In the name of God, Amen--I Elizabeth Battee of Anne Arundel County in the State of Maryland, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding to make this my last Will and Testament and aftere the payment of my debts and funeral charges I give and devise as follows, to wit:

"I give and devise my undevided moiety of the farm on which I now dwell Benjamin Franklin, my nephew, and to his heirs forever, provided he will give up his undevided moiety onf the tract or parcel of land adjoining the Estate of Richard Harwood, Osborn S.

10678 She was the niece of His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons, who officiated at her funeral in 1909 with much ceremony, according to contemporary newspaper accounts. Swarbrick, Alice Mary (I13918)
 
10679 She was the only one of her siblings to marry. All the rest lived together at "Essex" their whole lives. Waters, Catharine "Kate" (I5142)
 
10680 She was the second of Friedrich Casimir von Lysander's three wives. von Rosenberg (I16655)
 
10681 She was the second wife of Johann Groos the Elder, and probably the father of Antonius. Catherina (I2718)

10687 She was widowed before the 1880 census. Elizabeth (I3471)
 
10688 She was “single” at her death. Somersett, Emma M. (I14174)
 
10689 She was, according to John Hall, "one of the loveliest characters I ever knew. I am very glad I lived to know that generation. [. . .] They were born before the Civil War, and in their childhood imbibed the charm and noble characteristics of that wonderful period; they never loast it, and were always to me very charming and attractive. Although a great many of them lived through those two very great convulsions of our modern American civilization, the Civil and World Wars, they were not spoiled by them."

From J. Harris Franklin's genealogical notebook: "'Aunt Liza'--Her father's daughter--a devoted wife and kinswoman." After her father's death, in 1896, she finally married her long-time fiancée. His notebook has her marriage date as October 25, 1896. She also wrote two memoirs about the family.

A plaque dedicated to her is placed at old St. James Parish church.

10693 She would seem to be named "Elizabeth" here, aged 1 Lyons, Mary Elizabeth (I16562)
 
10694 She would seem to be related to the Thomas family of West river, but note that her son Gerald married into the Sandy Spring Quaker family of Brooke.

"Another prominent union of Quaker families occurred when Johns Hopkins I and Elizabeth Thomas declared their intentions and were married on February 16, 1759, in accordance with Quaker rites. Elizabeth was the daughter of Samuel and Mary Snowden Thomas. Johns Hopkins I had married Mary Gillis and after her death Mary Richardson Crockett, widow and daughter of Joseph Richardson. Samuel Hopkins, who was born in February 3, 1759, the son of Johns Hopkins I and Elizabeth Thomas, married Hannah, daughter of Joseph and Hannah Jones Janney in August, 1792. Their son, born in May 16, 1795, became the great Baltimore Financier." 
Thomas, Elizabeth (I5530)
 
10695 She would seem to be the “E.A. Eagan” with her father on the 1880 census?

She was a pianist who performed at concerts with Robert Pitard in the Pitard-Eagan orchestra before they were married at Crystal Springs, called the Mississippi Chautauqua.

Wedding announcement, Times-Picayune, 15 Aug. 1906, p11:

Pitard-Eagan

Crystal Springs, Miss., Aug. 14 - Miss Kate Eagan and Robert C. Pitard, of New Orleans, were married here to-night at the home of the bride, by Rev. H. Walter Featherstun. The bride, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I.M. Eagan, was in charge of the music department at Belhaven College, Jackson, Miss., last sessions. The groom is one of the leading musicians of the South. A reception was held at the home of the bride's parents, the couple departing for their home, in Jackson.

her gravestone says “Little Bobbie and his Mother,” would mean that she had a son named Robert as well. 
Eagan, Kate (I6233)
 
10696 She's there as a 20 year old in the 1850 census, but Eaton only lists the two older children, not her. McLellan, Amiah (I14332)
 
10697 She, with her sister Estelle and cousin Helen McLellan, used to attend Camp Thorvald in Sewanee, Tennessee; pictures of her exist from 1918, though not after.

File Suit to Recover Interest in Lost Shares

Miss Grace Feahney, Miss Lelia Feahney, Mrs. Edna Feahney Hoffman, and Mrs. Floryda Feahney Michel, children and heirs of the late Charles Feahney, filed suit in the Civil District court Saturday against their mother, Mrs. Grace Bennett Feahney, widow of Charles Feahney and the Hibernia Bank and Trust Company, to recover their interest in five shares of capital stock of the defendant bank, together with dividends accrued theron from the date of an alleged transfer of the stock, as they were respectively paid.

Also see in Times-Picayune, 18 May 1919, p3:

The ownership of five shares of the capital stock of the Hibernia Bank and Trust Company, valued at $2400, is claimed in a suit filed Saturday in the Civil District Court by Grace Feahney, Lelia Feahney, Mrs. Floryda Feahney Michel, and Mrs. Edna Feahney Hoffman, four of the six children and sole heirs of the late Charles Feahney, formerly a grocer here. The plaintiffs claim Mrs. Grace Bennet Feahney, widow in the community of Charles Feahney, pledged this stock to secure personal debts, and that the bank has improperly transferred the certificates to persons unknown to the petitioners.

According to the U.S. Congress Biographical Directory, he was a "Delegate from Maryland; born at "Wye Hall," near Abingdon, Queen Anne (now Harford) County, Md., October 31, 1740; was graduated from Philadelphia College in 1759; studied law in Annapolis, Md., and in the Middle Temple, London, England; was admitted to the bar in 1764; returned home and commenced the practice of his profession at Annapolis in 1764; member of the provincial assembly 1771-1774; Member of the Continental Congress 1774-1779; a signer of the Declaration of Independence; served in the State senate 1777-1779; chief judge of the superior court of Maryland 1778-1780; chief justice of the court of appeals in prize and admiralty cases 1780-1782; Governor of Maryland from November 1782 to November 1785; was influential in establishing Washington College in Chestertown, Md., in 1786; delegate to the State convention in 1788 which ratified the Federal Constitution; appointed by President Washington as judge of the United States Court for Maryland and served from 1789 until his death at "Wye Hall," Queen Anne County, Md., October 23, 1799; interment in the family burial ground, Queen Anne County, Md."
