| 10801 | That she is a daughter of James and Martha is not absolutely confirmed, but is very probable by the proponderance of evidence. A daughter of her age is in James Strain's households in the 1830 and 1840 censuses. | Strain, Achsah (I11938)

|
| 10806 | The 1860 census gives her age as 10, and younger than her brother Milton. In 1910, this family was living in Prince William County; in 1920, this couple alone was living in Washington, D.C. I can't find this couple on the 1900 census, however, or their children. | Gulick, Isabelle (I7366)

|
| 10810 | The 1880 census says he was born in Massachusetts. His oldest daughter Zulme in the 1880 census seems to have been born to a first marriage.The 1910 census has "M3" under whether he's married, which would seem to indicate that he's been married 3 times. He and his sons ran a large canning plant for fish in Gulfport, Mississippi. | Dunbar, George Hacker (I9611)

|
| 10814 | The 1900 census says "Dec. 1864" at age 35. | Degrange, George Edward (I202)
|
| 10815 | The 1900 census says that a son Norbert Jr. is living with his parents, aged 3, born Feb. 1897. This conflicts with the NOLA birth indices, which say that Joseph Edward was born in January. Joseph Edward must be the 1 child that his mother lists as living, however, because he published a memorial to his father in 1926. The NOLA death index also lists "Norbert Wiltz Jr." as dying at 10 mos. on 5 June 1894. I assume that that name on the 1900 census, then, is incorrect, and that it must refer to Joseph, one month off. | Wiltz, Joseph Edward (I14678)
|
| 10816 | The 1900 census says that he was born in Kentucy, but both of his parents were born in Louisiana—the 1910 and 1920 censuses, however, say both of his parents were born in Kentucky. No children appear with them on censuses. | Henry, William (I15540)
|
| 10817 | The 1930 census shows her as the wife of Argue (?) D. van Osdol (who was born in Indiana in about 1898, like both his parents). So, this would seem to be her first married name; I assume Cresswell ("K" is the initial in 1930) is her maiden name. | Cresswell, Hazel (I1852)
|
| 10818 | The US Fencing Hall of Fame site's "Roll of Honor" describes Raoul Tanneret as a student of Gilbert Rosiere, who "taught fencing to many a Creole gentleman" at the Orleans Fencing Club. Raoul Tanneret is listed as a notary for New Orleans from 3/1/1882 to 5/31/1886 by the New Orleans Notarial Archives. There are these three death records, which may be of siblings: Tanneret, Charles 3 yrs M W 1/18/1850 12 159 Tanneret, Edgar 3 mos - - 7/7/1868 43 56 Tanneret, Seraphine 14 mos F W 8/10/1852 13 308 | Tanneret, (Francis) Raoul (I3747)

| 10819 | The Vital Records of Topsfield, Massachusetts says that she was born in Topsfield. He seems to have been married twice: Jan. 16, 1766 to Rebecca Hubbard March 29, 1792 to Sarah Holden (see in the Vital Records of Holden, Massachusetts to 1849: https://archive.org/details/vitalrecordsofho00hold/page/n3) Israel the son of Israel and Betsy is baptized in Ipswich in 1791 in Linebrook Parish Church. | Davis, Israel (I15763)

He appears on voter registration lists in San Francisco, California in 1869, 1873, 1875, 1882, 1888, 1890, 1892, 1898 at various addresses. He was married in Louisiana in 1890. He is also listed as "married" on the 1880 census; the only possibility in the household is "Posey G. Coffee." In the 1910 census he is living with his wife Blanche and four daughters in his father-in-law Arthur Pitard's household. | Coffee, Frank Larned (I185)

| 10831 | The author of One Hundred Years Ago, S287 on this site. | Murray, Elizabeth Hesselius (I9730)
|
| 10832 | The author of an autobiography. On his marriage, he writes: "On the 9th day of the 3d month 1826, I was married in Friends' meeting house in Alexandria, to Elizabeth, daughter of John and Elizabeth Janney. Her parents had been residents of Alexandria, but were both deceased, and she lived with her stepmother Ann Janney. My wife and I were distantly related; our grandfathers being first cousins. We had known and esteemed each other for many years, and our friendship gradually ripened into a warmer and more tender affection, which being sanctioned and confirmed by the holy rite of matrimony, has resulted in a union that I regard as the greatest of all my temporal blessings. In prosperity and adversity she has been a safe counsellor, a sympathizing companion and a helpmeet steadfast in love and devotion. Soon after our marriage we went on a tour to the Falls of Niagara, thence to Montréal and Québec, returning by way of Lake Champlain and through several of the New England states. It was a season of unalloyed enjoyment." According to Mangus, "Mirroring the nation's populace at large, Loudoun County Friends differed over slavery. In 1853 Samuel Janney, a member of the Society of Friends, proclaimed that slavery was nonexistent among his fellow Quakers in Loudoun County (Life of George Fox 466-72). Janney's claim regarding the Quakers and their ownership of slaves was delusory. Throughout the early nineteenth century, elders dismissed numerous Friends from Loudoun County's two meetings for owning slaves. Quaker minutes commonly listed notations such as ‘reported as holding slaves' or ‘extreme cruelty to a black boy & girl' as reasons for dismissal. The property tax records of Loudoun County in 1860 listed Janney, himself, as owning a slave with William Holmes, a fellow Quaker. Why Janney owned this slave is unclear. Perhaps he purchased the slave from an abusive master, similar to his acquisition in 1856 of a slave woman and child. Perhaps warm memories of the slave woman who cared for him as a young child motivated Janney to own this slave. Whether the minister violated Quaker precepts against slavery is unclear. What is clear is that slavery was a very divisive issue among the Quakers of Loudoun County." (Some references have not been included in this quotation). Immediately after purchasing the two women in 1856, Mangus adds in a note, he immediately gave them their freedom, but did not file paperwork for a while to this effect. Therefore it is possible that the slave in 1860 was the daughter he had purchased in 1856, and that the mother had died in the meantime. His opposition to slavery is well attested, and his home was a stop on the Underground Railroad. Mangus's article does not focus on slavery, but on what Quakers did in Loudoun during the war, and how they were affected and treated by Union and Confederate forces (esp. Mosby's Rangers) during it. Friends did join the Confederacy and the Union, he contends, in much greater numbers than previously noted; which side they joined was aligned with whether they owned slaves. | Janney, Samuel McPherson (I11080)

| 10835 | The baptismal record for her son J.B. Octave Pitard says that she was from the Parish of St. Andrew, Bordeaux, Dept. of Gironde, France. This is the parish that belongs to the cathedral; the cathedral in Bordeaux is the Cathédrale Saint-André de Bordeaux. The certificate also gives her parents' names. Her marriage record also says that she was a "native of area of Saint-Andre de Bordeaux," and that she was "fille mineur et legitime de Jean Avril et Marguerite Andat." It says that she has a tutor, Jean Seguin. A tutor would be appointed at the death of both parents. Her mother had died in 1794, when she was named the "vivante epouse du sieur Jean Avril.” She does not appear in the NOLA death records index, or in records of funeral expenses from 1843-46, or in the cemeteries' interment books for 1843-45. Her certificate of burial, however, places her in St. Louis #2. | Avril, Angelique (I13648)

|
| 10839 | The biography of his son Edgar in the Historical Review of South-East Texas says that he was born in Georgia, though this seems to be an error, perhaps for his own father William or another Tomlinson. This biography say of Augustus: "Augustus A. Tomlinson, a native son of Georgia, when a young man in 1849 made the overland trip to California, and later returning to Louisiana he was an overseer on a sugar plantation there for a few years or until moving with his young wife to Marshall [Harrison Co.], Texas, where he became identified with wholesale and retail mercantile pursuits. In 1860 he joined the Texas Rangers, and he was stationed at Ringgold Barracks when the Civil war was inaugurated. Enlisting in the Confederate army, he served until the close of the war, and was made captain of the scouts in Colonel T. B. Likens' Regiment. In 1865 he resumed his mercantile pursuits at Harrisburg [In Houston], and he continued there for several years, but his death occurred at Bellville on the 3d of July, 1898, when sixty-eight years of age." In the 1860 census for him—his wife is not in this household—there is a T.R. Hartman in his household, an attorney-at-law, aged 22 (b. abt. 1838). Presumably he was a relative of his wife's. His wife does not seem to be living with him in the 1860 or 1870 census, and in 1870 the only child living with him was Willie Ruben. Apparently they were living apart at the moment. In these two censuses he was also living with his step-family the Farrows, with whom he was apparently in business (at least, in 1870 they had the same profession, "stock dealer"). In 1880 he was living in his son Edgar's household, this time with his wife. | Tomlinson, Capt. Augustus Austere (I3871)

| 10840 | The birth dates for her on the 1870, 1880, and 1910 censuses seem to conflict by 3-4 years with those on the 1900 and 1920 censuses; I go with the former. | Simpson, Lillian E. (I7333)

|
| 10842 | The birth record gives a date of 27 Sept. 1857; the 1900 census gives April 1855. I go with the census, thinking that he and his brother are nowhere else recorded as twins. | Markey, Nicholas Thomas (I14510)
|
| 10843 | The birth record is just a last name. She may have been a stillborn twin of Lawrence. | Hacker (I15230)
|
| 10844 | The birth record of her son "Vizente" names her "Maria Lucia Thomachichi, native of Ture in the jurisdiction 'de Venecia y ambos vecinos de ista cuidad.'" I am not sure what place "Ture" might refer to. Her father's first name is not given there, but her mother's name seems to be Elena Sagioli. I take her last name from there and the burial record. Her grand-daughter Lucie Maurice's baptismal certificate, 1829, gives her name as "Romacci." Perhaps it is Tomacci? Philip "Morris," her son-in-law, witnessed her death record. There is also this death record in New Orleans: Bravat, Marie Virginie . . . 37 yrs F, W 3/2/1844 . . . vol. 9, p. 796 | Tomachichi, Maria Louisa (I4687)

| 10860 | The children for this family are taken from the Simpson history (S160) and the 1850 and 1860 censuses. There are some apparent discrepancies. The major one is Hugh Stone, who the Simpson history records as being born in 1825, but the 1850 and 1860 censuses show as being born abt. 1837 (barring any source listed in S160, I go with the census). The Simpson history gives the children as: Frances (died as infant) Ann Eliza, b. 1822 Hugh Stone, b. 1825 William Hamilton, b. Oct. 6, 1825 (died young) Ferdinand Arthur Mary Ellen Joseph Thomas, b. Mar. 12, 1831 John Francis Alfred Eliphalet Elmina (died young) The 1850 census gives: Hugh Rogers, aged 51 Mary, aged 47 Ann Whitacre, aged 28 (no husband evident) William H.

According to the Wikipedia, "Samuel Chew (August 30, 1699 - June 16, 1744) was a physician who served as Chief Justice of colonial Delaware. Samuel married Mary Galloway in 1715, and their son Benjamin Chew was later Chief Justice of Pennsylvania. Mary died 1734, and he remarried Mary Paca Galloway in 1736. Originally he lived on his family's estate of Maidstone in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The manor house still stands although, since borders have changed, it is now in Calvert County, Maryland. In 1738 moved to build an estate known as Whitehall in Kent County, Delaware. Pennsylvania Governor John Penn appointed him Chief Justice of the lower counties (or Delaware) in 1741." | Chew, Dr. Samuel (I7902)

|
| 10897 | The earliest record I've seen of this family in Saint-Domingue is their marriage in 1778, though their first child was born about 2 years before they were married. On his marriage record he is named “Sr. Joseph Hacker, maitre tailleur d’habit, resident en cette paroisse, nâtif de Paris, fils lègitime du Sr. Gaspard Hacker, autre tailleur d’habit, resident a Paris et de Benoît Gentils sou epouse, ses pere et mere.” He is invariably Joseph Hacker except for the death record of one son, where he is named Louis Hacker: Le vingt douze novembre mil sept cent quatre vingt neuf a été inhumé dans le cimetiere de cette paroisse le corps de Louis Hacker, age de trois ans, fils legitime de Louis Hacker, marchand tailleur, resident en le bourg, et de mademoiselle anne denis son epouse, decede hier au soir en ce bourg. en foi de quoi, nous avons signé le jour et an que des fus . . . The twelfth of November the year 1789 was buried in the cemetery of this parish the body of Louis Hacker, aged three years, legitimate son of Louis Hacker, merchant tailor, resident in the village, and his wife Anne Denis wife, who died last night in town. In witness whereof, we have signed the day and year that was . . . This must be Joseph, given his wife. And therefore, I assume that the death refers to the son Joseph who was born three years earlier as well. Judging by the death of their son Joseph Louis and the baptism of their son Vincent, they moved to Port-au-Prince bet. Nov. 1789 and 1792. No death record seems to appear in the Port-au-Prince registers. Perhaps his death was recorded in the Croix-des-Bouquets register for 1793, which is missing. | Hacker, Joseph (I13628)

|
| 10903 | The family has kept records of the DeGrange family. One document is a copy of a birth certificate for Jacques DeGrange, son of Joseph, which indicates that Jacques was born in Lescheraines. Before Joseph, the DeGrange family had lived in Les Noyer back for as long as records exist, through the early 1600s. His daughter Marguerite’s marriage record says that she is “Marguerite fille de Joseph Degrange et de Marie Desusse, native de la paroise du Noyer et habitant jusqu'à ce jour de celle de Lescheraine”; Marguerite daughter of Joseph Degrange and Marie Desusse, native of the parish of du Noyer and living now in Lescheraine.” Les Noyer is another town in Savoie. There are many DeGranges living in Les Noyer during the 1700s. Joseph’s marriage, however, happened in Cruseilles, a town in Haute Savoie, the départment to the north of Savoie tucked under Switzerland (thanks to David Quénehérvé for finding this!). The next record for any DeGrange that I can find in Lescheraines is 1800, which is their first child. This couple seems be the only DeGrange family in Lescheraines. (Other local names include Voisin, Darvey, Peguet, Dufour, Cavet, and many others.) There are few other DeGranges that appear in the Lescheraine records: Louis DeGrange and Anne DeGrange (siblings, as the maiden name would be used for a wife) appear as god parents in an 1813 baptismal record, and may be children of this couple. Sr. Antoine DeGrange appears as the witness in a wedding in 1824. And an Urbain DeGrange was buried in 1835, aged about 78. There is family history which says that the name before immigration was "Delagrange," and that the name was shortened upon immigration; this doesn’t seem to be true, though, according to the parish records in Lescheraine and Du Noyer. | Degrange, Joseph (I2121)
|
| 10904 | The family is from the town of Streatley in Berkshire. Thomas was allied with the Parliamentarians during Cromwell's reign. According to his will, his son Thomas was to inherit all of his holdings in Maryland at his death (though his son predeceased him). This implies that he did travel over; a Capt. Thomas Harwood is recorded in Skordas as immigrating: "Of London, mariner, a grant of 600 acres on the Eastern Shore called Harwoods Lyon, 1663. Master of ship Thomas & Mary, transported several persons in 1667." | Harwood, Capt. Thomas (I8195)
|
| 10905 | The family is not recorded in the Clough family genealogies by Eva Spear, except in the first (pub. 1943) to record the story of his son Stephen Clough's attempt to rescue Marie Antoinette. Ebenezer Clough, along with the genealogies of his family members, records in the bible that "John Clough had a Negro Woman called 'Grace,' who died in his family in the Town of Needham Jany 28th 1776 during the Revolutionary War. She had lived in his family Seventeen Years, and died between 70 and 80 Years of her Age." He also records that "William Clough a Nephew of said John Clough died in Boston at the House of Ebenezer Clough March the 3rd 1824 in the Ninety-third Year of his Age." That would be, born bet. abt. Mar. 1731 and Mar. 1732. Identifying this person would help to identify John Clough's parentage as well. A William Clough, child of Ebenezer and Ann Clough, was born 3 Nov. 1727 in Boston. Might this be him? The name Ebenezer would have been passed down through the family. | Clough, John (I6289)
|
| 10906 | The family name is also spelled "Terriot." The Theriot and Le Blanc familes which comprise her ancestry were thoroughly Acadian, Mary's grandparents and great-grandparents having emigrated from Acadia (now called Nova Scotia) due to the forced expulsion connected to the French and Indian War (1754-63). They eventually settled west of New Orleans in central/south Louisiana, in what are now St. Charles, St. James, St. Martin, and St. Mary Parishes.

| 10907 | The family records that I've seen give no record of her parents' names. Her father, however, was apparently a "dashing officer in the Prussian army, and a heavy bettor on horses." He apparently disappeared, maybe to the States, but this is unknown (S 35). Her mother's family were "flour millers in Herzberg, Saxony, very wealthy.

| 10914 | The first sure record for him is the marriage record for Joseph and Amelie in Feb. 1833. This lists their names and their parents' names. After this appears the birth record for Gustave, Joseph's son, from 21 Jan 1838, which lists parents and grandparents' names on both sides. In the 1840 Census Octave, Joseph, and Auguste Pitard all appear. Joseph's family has 2 boys under 10 and himself, aged between 30 and 40; and two girls under 10, and a woman between 30 and 40. This matches Joseph Pitard's family, if Cecile was born before the census date. Joseph and Auguste were living in the Faubourg Treme in "Faubourg Parish" (was this neighborhood of New Orleans then, or was it its own Parish?). It is well known now as one of the oldest African-American neighborhoods in the US. In 1809 it was a plantation purchased from the city from Claude Treme which lay between the Carondelet Canal and St. Bernard Avenue. Before about 1850, it was very mixed, with lots of immigrants; living there would be consistent with their identity as Creole. The 1842 New Orleans City Directory has the same three men, and it confirms the statement of Joseph's profession on his son's birth certificate: Pitard, Auguste . . . coffee house . . . Basin b. St. Peter & Toulouse Sts. Pitard, Octave . . . sugar broker . . . 15 St. Peter St. 1st Municipality Pitard, Joseph . . . printer . . . St. Ann n. Claiborne St. In 1842 he is one of those listed as proposing the "Louisiana Association"; an Act (106) to incorporate it was passed by the State Legislature on 15 March 1842. According to the act, "the object of said Louisianan Association shall be first to establish a national library in the city of New Orleans, which shall be governed by such rules regulations and by-laws as may hereafter be adopted by said association; secondly, to contribute by all honorable means to the political progress and improvement of the Louisianians." A good guess would be that he became involved with this group because he was a printer. On 19 May 1845 a Joseph Pitard, age 37 years 3 months, profession “Laborer,” appears on a passenger list arriving on the Mississippi, a ship arriving in New York from Liverpool, England. This is not likely to be him, however, since he is listed as belonging to Great Britain. | Pitard, Joseph Barthelemy (I13627)

| 10915 | The following records come from the Alumni Dublinenses by Burtchaell and Sadleir (Dublin 1935): 1674, May 16 - Benjamin Span (Spanne) is listed as an alumni of Trinity College in Dublin who entered the school at age 17. The following statment gives his birth place as Bromborough, Cheshire and his father being Richard Span, "a private gentleman" and comes from the "Alumni Dublinenses" by Burtchaell and Sadleir, Dublin 1935 in the collection of the Trinity College Library. It is a register of graduates of Trinity College from 1593-1862. "Span (Spanne), Benjamin, a Pensioner (fee-paying student), entered the college on 16 May 1674, aged 17. Prior to that he was educated by a Mr Golburne in Cheshire, England. He was born in Bromborough, Cheshire. He became a scholar in 1675. A scholar was a student awarded special privileges for high achievement in examinations. He graduated a Bachelor of Arts in the spring of 1678 and was awarded a Masters degree in the summer of 1681. Benjamin was the son of Richard, a private gentleman." Why Benjamin went to Dublin to receive his degree, over Oxford or Cambridge for instance, is a good question: they were perhaps, in an academic fashion, part of the mid-17th century movement encouraged by Jacobean officials to colonize Ireland, especially by religion, and the Spann family would have been Anglican if they attended Trinity College and became priests. They would have been anti-Catholic, and would have especially served the English colonists there. He apparently wanted his sons to do the same thing, since they went to Trinity-Dublin as well. | Spann, Rev. Benjamin (I12857)

At his 1636 marriage he is named a widower, though his first wife is unknown. By 1642 he had moved back to Breitscheid. At Easter 1655 he is mentioned for the first time as a "Heimberger," a village leader, in Breitscheid, meaning he had some official status in the town. In 1664 or so he apparently lost in in some dispute with the town Pastor Pfarrer Ludovici; his relative Peter Lang replaced him. He had many children, including two sets of twins.

John is first noted in Haverhill in 1672 where it is recorded that he bought a piece of land from Nathaniel Smith. (In that same year, the name of a John Decker appears on records in Exeter, N.H.). In 1678, John was in Newbury where he took the oath of allegiance. After his marriage in 1680, he and his wife settled in Haverhill.

| 10940 | The key to finding his parents is that his brother Nicholas named as "uncle" in his first son's obituary (hopefully "uncle" is used precisely!). His older brother Nicholas’ NOLA birth record gives a Sept. 1857 birth date, which is the same that Joseph has in the 1900 census. Markey, Nicholas Thomas . . . Nichols & Ellen Kearney . . . M W . . . 09/27/1857 . . . 24 262 Given his birth date, it's likely that he and his brother Nicholas are twins. But, I suspect that this is an error; the 1900 census gives a birth date of Apr. 1855 for Nicholas. On 3 Nov. 1906, he was elected Vice-President of a Third Ward citizens committee; see “Squaw Men are Not Good for Good Citizenship: Third Ward Urges its Men to Pay Poll TAx, No Matter How They Vote,” Times-Picayune 3 Nov. 1906, p5. His name also appears in news stories about his job, for the Metropolitan Insurance company. Confusables: There are a number of references in newspapers during the 1890s to a Joseph P. Markey, involved with a number of civic organizations and local politics in town. An obituary for Joseph P. Markey, patrolman, appears on 7 July 1902 in the New Orleans Item; the obit says that his only relative was his brother (7 July 1902, p5). Another Joseph P. Markey died on 19 May 1904, aged 62, a native of Ireland (obituary, Times-Picayune, 22 May 1904). | Markey, Joseph M. (I13640)

| 10945 | The link to Allen's father James can be called secure, but the link from there back further is unclear. A David Strain has been floated as a possibility, but no evidence backs this up. This couple was married in VA and almost immediately moved to Maryville, Blount Co., Tennessee between Nov. 1811 and 1812; John Higgins Strain, their oldest child, was then born in TN the next year. During that summer they also became Presbyterians (see the obit. of Jane Higgins). It seems that Allen was in Tennessee before this, however, since his name appears in court records starting in 1805. These also mention his brothers Robert, and John and James. Before he left Virginia he was buying and selling land in preparation for a move to Tennessee. There are these notes about land grants in 1807 to an Allen Strain, in the "Territory south of French Broad." I assume that these are the same Allen: #755: ROBERT GAUT-5 acres-Blount County-part of original improvement right of JOHN CRAIG-CC SAMUEL BLACKBURN and ALLEN STRAIN Surveyed March 4, 1807 #1364: JOHN RUSSELL-100 acres-Blount County-being part of the original improvement right of JOHN IRVINE on Pistol Creek-CC ALLEN STRAIN and ALEX.

The other heirs were selling their portions of the land at about the same time. The family seems to have been preparing to move to Tennessee. There are lots of references to land bought and sold by Allen Strain with the Means family and others in Blount Co.; all take place after 1813.

| 10948 | The Louisiana marriage record of her marriage to Frank Tamor is on Feb. 1890, well before the birth of Frank’s two children Mathieu and Phillippin, who are recorded as born to Francine / Françoise Lacoste in 1891 and 1892. But, Françoise Lacoste Tamor has a death record in 1891 with the last name “Tamor.” The five children recorded here that she had with Frank, starting with Agnes in 1896, all list her as the mother on the LA birth record database. | Reimes, Josephine (I15633)

| 10956 | The marriage date is from a time when his in-laws deeded them a property "Moore's Ditch," when he was styled "of Charles County, Carpenter." A will for a Michael Ashford was probated in Prince William Co., Virginia, in 1734.

| 10968 | The name also appears as "Umbland" or "Umblang," esp. in newspapers. He immigrated with his father to Texas in 1853. Family notes say that he was from "Freyburg, Hanover, Germany." Freiburg was part of Kehdingen in what is now Lower Saxony. "Hanover" refers to the Electorate and then (after 1814) the Kingdom of Hanover. His ancestors mostly derive from this region of Lower Saxony on the western bank of the Elbe river called the "Elbe-Weser triangle," especially the northern part of it. He and his older brother Heinrich are mentioned in the Handbook of Texas on-line as cabinet makers; he specialized in undertaking, and making coffins. They are recorded in the 1880 census as residing in Chappell Hill, Washington Co., Texas. His two oldest sons Jacob and Heinrich died of yellow fever in 1867. Both are also said to have served in the CSA. This family is all buried in the same cemetery in Chappell Hill, Texas, but dates from the bible differ from the cemetery as recorded on findagrave. | Umland, Johann (I4180)
|
| 10969 | The name also appears as "Umbland" or "Umlang," esp. in newspapers. Her family on her father and mother’s side were all from Lower Saxony, her father’s family from Kehdingen and her mother from Cuxhaven. Both lie in northern parts of the area known as the Elbe-Weser triangle. Family notes say that she was from "Freyburg, Hanover, Germany,” not to be confused with the university town. See the German Wikipedia page on Königreich Hannover. Freiburg was part of Kehdingen in the northwest of Lower Saxony. The Kingdom of Hanover was formed in 1815 at the Congress of Vienna, and lost its independence to Prussia in 1866. She immigrated to Texas in 1856, at age 8 with her family. Nothing is known of her life. No obituary is apparent. All four of her siblings died fairly young. | Umland, Catrina Margretha “Elise” (I3363)
|
| 10970 | The name also appears as Childress, though it does not seem connected to the family of Joel Childress, the father of Sarah Childress who married President James K. Polk; or to George Campbell Childress, the author of the Texas Declaration of Independence. A number of "Childress" family members lived in Franklin Co., Virginia. | Childers, Richard Jr. (I4940)

|
| 10972 | The name Anne appears a number of times in her husband's probate records as his wife's name in 1749 at his death. She is "Mrs. Anne Newel" at her marriage—that is, Newel was the name of her first husband. I've seen no record of her otherwise. | Nowel, Mrs. Ann (I15859)

| 10975 | The name in the Austrian records is Voithofer. They were married in the Catholic church but converted. According to the Froelich book, "Following the explusion of all Protestants from Salzburg, Michl Voithofer also left with his mother, his wife, two children (Martin and Anna)—Andreas already having died in 1729—and with diverse other relatives with the name Viethofer. . . They emigrated to Prussia and arrived in Koenigsberg . . . on November 12, 1732." According to Wikipedia, "In a series of persecutions ending in 1731, over 20,000 Protestants were expelled from their homeland by the Prince-Archbishops. . . . The majority of the Salzburg Protestants accepted the Prussian offer and traveled the length of Germany to reach their new homes in Prussian Lithuania." | Voithofer, Michael (I12984)
|
| 10976 | The name is "Henley" on his gravestone. | Simpson, Henley B. (I7321)
|
| 10977 | The name is also "Garman." There is this about her husband: "Isaac Walker, the seventh of eight children of Lewis and Mary (Morris) Walker, was born in Radnor, Chester County, March 7, 1705. He died (in Tredyffrin) February 23, 1755. He married, November 11, 1730, at the house of Hannah Jones, in Tredyffrin, Sarah Jarman, born in Philadelphia, October 25, 1713, a daughter of Edward Jarman, who was a resident of Philadelphia as early as 1703, and who died there September 10, 1714, possibly a son of John and Elizabeth Jarman before referred to. She married (second) January 25, 1759, Jacob Thomas, of Willistown, and lived to almost reach her ninetieth year, dying April 26, 1802." She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page. | Jarman, Sarah (I4388)
|
| 10978 | The name is also Boyaval. His name appears on his daughter’s marriage record. This note appears in the parish records of Saint Firmin le Confesseur in August of 1659: Le 18 les fiançialles de Nicholas Boiaval de la Paroisse St. Suplice et de Louise Te[s]tu This is an announced engagement. The marriage is on the next page (frame 83); the name Nicholas Boiaval is legible there, but the rest, including parents’ names, is difficult: his father may be “jean du boyaval,” and his mother’s last name may be “Laval.” There is a Jean Bioaval in Amiens at the time married to a Jacqueline Lanral or Lonal or Lorel, who has children. The coincidence of the name’s appearance is close enough that a relation seems likely. | Boiaval, Nicholas (I8353)
|
| 10979 | The name is also Boyaval. Name on her son Joseph’s marriage record (incorrectly, however, as "defunte," dead). She was aged “vingt-deuze” at her marriage, married outside of Amiens. | Boiaval, Elizabeth (I8340)
|
| 10980 | The name is also Demas. According to Kendall, "Lewis the father d. 1743 Frederick Co, Virginia; his widow sold land 1744; final probate of his will was completed 1752 when son Charles became of age" (243). Louis who signed the 1743 will calls himself "Jr.," which is why I do as well. He lived "in Harford County, Maryland where parish records of St. John and St. George (English Episcopal) give the birth of baptism of" the children listed here. According to Barnes, he "was in Balto. Co. by 1715 and was still there in 1731; m. Catherine (?); in Aug. 1719 was fined for refusing to repair his road." In 1735 he sold his land ("Frenchman's Repose") to William Grafton and the whole family, except for his son John, moved back to Virginia, to (what was then) Orange County, near Winchester. A file on the family is also preserved in the Filson Library in Louisville, Ky, with some helpful documents. | Demoss, Lewis/Louis Jr. (I9882)

|
| 10987 | The name was formerly "Voithofer." It appears this way in the Austrian records, and it changed with this generation, presumably with the move to Königsberg. According to "the church book of the free evangelical pastors in Goldegg in Pongau," his birthdate was 24 Feb. 1726; according to his wife's recollections the date was 1730. According to the Froelich history, "following the expulsion of all Protestants from Salzburg [Austria] Michl Voithofer also left with his mother, his wife, 2 children (Martin and Anna)—Andreas had already died in 1729—and with diverse other relatives with the name Veithofer, in all 25 persons: 4 men, 4 women, 11 children, 2 servingment, and 4 maids. They emigrated to Prussia and arrived in Königsberg with their own kitchenware on November 12, 1732." According to the Froelich History, he "probably studied pedagogy in Königsberg and later became Precentor, Adjunct Pastor, and Lithuanian Pastor. The introduction for him [at some moment introducing him as a pastor] is word for word: [']Martin Veithofer, a Salzburger, born in Goldegg 1730 on Palm Sunday, previously—since 1758—Precenter at the Lithuanian church in Memel, was June 14, 1771 ordained as adjunct of Pastor Johann Samuel Hassenstein and on the seventh Sunday after Trinity he was introducted, continuing until 1773.[']" According to his wife's journal, "In the year 1787 God sent me great sorrow as my dear husband became blind in both eyes. Oh Master, You all-knowing God! You also knew then the pain in my heart and our great crying and imploring you. You were not spared my personal sighs. But as You in Your word relenteth and deigneth to hear, so You also brough to us, since no one here knew how to advise and help us, an eye doctor from Saxony who said it was cataracts and there is no help but to cut out the cataract. This was done on the 14th of April 1798. Afterwards he was tied and had to lie still on his back 9 days. This was very difficult but God helpd us to overcome although it was still three months before his eyes were healthy." | Veithofer, Martin (I12982)

| 10988 | The names of her parents appear on her certificate of death that's included in the Confederate Pension application she filed in her husband's name in 1939; she could not remember his unit, just saying that he was in the "Quartermaster's department." She was 95 when she applied for the pension. According to a letter in the application, "the old lady was very old and feeble and all of her papers of marriage certificate and her husband's records were all burnt up - and for that reason she thought perhaps she could not get any pension." According to another letter included in the application, "The records show that Cyrus T. Bemiss was appointed Captain and Paymaster, 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division, Louisiana Militia, August 25, 1861, and accepted August 30, 1861. On August 17, 1863, he is shown to have been serving as Acting Quartermaster at Camp Pratt, Louisiana, and was recommended for a commission as Quatermaster in teh Conscript Department, State of Louisiana, Confederate States Army. . . . By Special Orders dated April 11, 1864, having failed to execute the bond provided by law, his name was ordered dropped from the rolls. No later record of him has been found." | Downing, Lambella (I4969)

See the "Johns Hopkins family collection, 1691-1971" at Johns Hopkins University. Here is the collection description: "Johns Hopkins was a Baltimore merchant and philanthropist. He was born in Anne Arundel County, MD, May 19, 1795, the son of Samuel and Hannah Janney Hopkins. In 1812, Hopkins moved to Baltimore where he was employed in his uncle Gerard's wholesale grocery business. He later formed a wholesale provision house, "Hopkins Brothers," with his brothers Philip, Gerard, and Mahlon. Through further investments and lending, Hopkins amassed a private fortune, part of which was left as a bequest to fund the university and hospital in Baltimore which bears his name. John Hopkins died Aug. 24, 1867. This artificial collection contains legal documents, letters, photographs, and printed material by or about Johns Hopkins and his ancestors. Earliest papers are legal documents such as land deeds, wills, and the marriage contract of Hopkins's parents. Also 1807 indenture apprenticing two boys to Samuel Hopkins. There are letters(1826-40) of Hopkins's mother Hannah Janney Hopkins and the family bible recording birth and death dates. The papers of Johns Hopkins are largely personal letters he wrote including letters (1855) to Emily Turpin, letters (1858-61) to Margaret Beyere and some concerning his business Hopkins Bros. & Co. There are photographs of Hopkins and reminiscences, newspaper clippings, and genealogical material. Additional material about Johns Hopkins can be found in the John C. French Papers Ms. 70 and the Johns Hopkins University Collection Ms. 137 S.1. Records of his firm Hopkins Bros. & Co. are in the McGill Papers Ms. 43.

This is odd, though, since Sarah Weems is named "Sarah Johns" in the will of her father, dated 1794. The Johns Family History trees only have him marrying Sarah Weems. A Richard Johns definitely did marry a Mary Franklin in St. James Parish, Anne Arundel County, on 11 Jan 1776, though. I keep them here until this straightened out. On this family, see: Crowther, "The Johns Family Tree," Maryland Genealogical Magazine 4 (July, 1963): ___. The family also married into the Bowies. I assume that this--or perhaps his father or older relative--is the Richard Johns mentioned by J.

| 11010 | The Revolutionary War hero. See his biography from the American National Biography, entry by Paul David Nelson, and his book: Paul David Nelson, Anthony Wayne: Soldier of the Early Republic (1985). According to Cope and Fulthey (which is no doubt dated in aspects): "WAYNE, GEN. ANTHONY.— Anthony Wayne, the famous military chieftain of Chester County, was born in the township of Easttown, Jan. 1, 1745. His father, Isaac Wayne, was a respectable farmer and useful citizen, having repeatedly occupied a seat in the Provincial Assembly, and often distinguished himself in expeditions against the belligerent Indians. His grandfather, Anthony, was a native of Yorkshire, England, but in early life removed into the county of Wicklow, Ireland. He commanded a squadron of dragoons, under King William, at the battle of the Boyne; and being warmly attached to liberal principles, he migrated with his family to America in 1722. The subject of this notice received a good mathematical education, and for some years was employed in surveying, practical astronomy, and engineering. When the difficulties betwen the colonies and the mother-country arose, our Anthony Wayne was among the foremost and most active of the Chester County Whigs in counteracting the oppressive measures of Britain, and preparing the way for the Revolutionary contest. A large meeting of the inhabitants of the county was held at Chester in December, 1774, to devise measures for the protection of their rights as freemen, in pursuance of a resolution of the Continental Congress, and a committee of seventy was chosen, with Anthony Wayne as chairman, to aid in superseding the colonial government, and to take charge of the local interests of the county. He soon aspired to military service, and early in January, 1776, was appointed by Congress colonel of the Fourth Pennsylvania Battalion, which was sent to the frontier of Canada, and passed the year in the vicinity of Ticonderoga. In February, 1777, he was promoted to the rank of brigadier-general, and the following summer joined the main army, under Washington, in New Jersey, where he was placed at the head of a brigade. He was a man of imperious disposition, and soon became an admirable disciplinarian. At the battle of Brandywine, Sept. 11, 1777, Gen. Wayne commanded a division stationed at Chads' Ford, for the purpose of resisting the column under Knyphausen. He maintained the contest with the utmost gallantry, until a large division of the enemy (through an unaccountable lack of vigilance on the part of the American scouts) had crossed the Brandywine above the forks, turned the right of Washington's army, and compelled a retreat. Some days afterwards, viz., on the night of September 20th, the enemy stole a march into Wayne's camp, near the Paoli, and perpetrated a cruel butchery, under the direction of Gen. Grey. At the battle of Germantown Gen. Wayne evinced his wonted valor, leading his division into the thickest of the fight; and in covering the retreat he used every exertion which bravery and prudence could dictate. During a large portion of this campaign of 1777, owing to a combination of circumstances, he performed alone the duty of three general officers. While the army was suffering miserably at Valley Forge, in the ensuing winter, he performed valuable service on the eastern banks of the Delaware in securing cattle for the American troops, and destroying forage which could not be removed, and might otherwise fall into the hands of the enemy. He returned to the army about the middle of March, and, with his officers and soldiers, received the thanks of the commander-in-chief. In all councils of war Gen. Wayne was distinguished for supporting the most energetic and decisive measures. The characteristic anecdote is told of Wayne that he was accustomed to attend such consultations with a volume of "Tom Jones" or other interesting novel in his pocket, and would be quietly reading in one corner of the room while the anxious company were discussing the measures proper to be pursued. When they had severally given their views, the commander-in-chief would inquire, "Well, Gen. Wayne, what do you propose to do?" "Fight, sir!" is said to have been his invariable answer. No wonder that his impetuous daring should procure for him the familiar sobriquet of "Mad Anthony!" Fighting was constitutional with him, and he was always ready for a fray. In the council which was held before the battle of Monmouth, he and Gen. Cadwallader were the only two of the seventeen general officers who were in favor of fighting. This engagement added to his reputation, his ardor and resolution having been so conspicuous that Washington mentioned him with particular distinction in his official report to Congress. In 1779 he had an opportunity to retaliate nobly on the enemy at Stony Point, by sparing the lives of many of the same ruffians who showed no mercy in the "Paoli massacre." For his gallantry on this occasion the thanks of Congress and a gold medal, emblematic of the action, were presented to him. During the campaign of 1780, Gen. Wayne was actively employed, in command of the Pennsylvania line; and in that of 1781— which ended in the capture of Cornwallis and the British forces at Yorktown— he bore a conspicuous part. He was next sent by Washington to take command in Georgia, where the enemy were making formidable progress. After some sanguinary encounters, he effected the establishment of security and order, and was presented by the Legislature of the State with a valuable farm for his services. Peace soon followed, when he retired to private life with a military reputation which, in the time of Gonsalvo de Cordova, would have secured for Wayne the title of "Gran Capitan." In 1783 he was elected one of the State Censors of Pennsylvania, and the next year a member of Assembly. In 1789 he was a member of the Pennsylvania Convention, and an advocate of the Constitution of the United States. In 1792, Gen. Wayne was appointed by Washington the successor of Gen. St. Clair in the Indian war on the Western frontier. By the admirable discipline of his troops, and the skill and bravery with which he fought and gained the battle of the Miami of the Lakes, he brought the war to a successful termination. The Chester County hero closed his splendid career and his valuable life at Presque Isle, in Pennsylvania, on the 14th of December, 1796, and was buried there, on the shore of Lake Erie. In the year 1809 the Pennsylvania State Society of Cincinnati resolved to erect a monument to the memory of their gallant brother-soldier; and in the mean time his son, Col. Isaac Wayne, proceeded to the margin of Lake Erie, and brought the remains to the family cemetery at St. David's church, in the vicinity of the general's patrimonial estate. There were no railroads in those days, and Col. Wayne traveled in a gig or sulky. The remains were placed in a box, which was fastened to the vehicle, and in that way he brought them from Erie to his home. The colonel used to relate that at the inns where he stopped overnight the hostlers were rather shy when they learned what was in the box, of which he made no secret. On the 5th of June, 1811, the monument was erected with appropriate ceremonies, in the presence of the Cincinnati Society, all the troops of cavalry of the city and county of Philadelphia, an elegant troop from Montgomery County, and a large concourse of citizens. The farm on which Anthony Wayne, the emigrant, settled in 1722, and where his grandson, Gen. Wayne, was born and always resided, is situated in Easttown township, about one mile southeast of Paoli, and near the road leading from the latter place to the Leopard. The dwelling, which is of stone, was erected by Isaac Wayne, the son of the emigrant, and the father of the general, in 1765. The property descended from Gen. Wayne to his son, Col. Isaac Wayne, and was by him devised to Capt. William Wayne, the present owner, who is a great-grandson of Gen. Wayne. The furniture of the parlor remains much as it was in the days of Gen. Wayne, and the room is an admirably preserved relic of the olden time. Capt. Wayne is now (1881) a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature. A bust of Gen. Wayne, modeled by William Marshall Swayne, a native of Chester County, and executed in marble, adorns the court-room in West Chester. It is an admirable representation of the general, and is pronounced by connoisseurs to be a highly creditable work of art, and shows that Mr. Swayne possesses much more than ordinary ability as a sculptor. The bust was completed by Mr. Swayne in 1861, and was placed in the court-house in 1872." | Wayne, Gen. Anthony (I10029)

There is a "Cransford," however--so, I assume that this is what is meant. According to Herbert Russ, he came to America in 1635 from St. James Clerkenwell with his brother, Thomas, and first settled in Newbury, Mass.

His will was probated July 21, 1727, in Anne Arundel Co., Maryland. I don't think that he is related to the family of John Giles and Mary Welsh, at least on this side of the Atlantic. This family's children are recorded in the St. James' Parish Register, not the West River Meeting's Minutes, so this group was Episcopal while the other John Giles was Quaker (though his marriage to Mary Welsh was Episcopal; he converted from his father's Quakerism). It might be worth noting that there is also a John Giles family on the Eastern Shore. Richard Giles, son of John Giles of the Isle of Wight, m. 4 Feb. 1725 to Phebe Martin, widow. His son John Giles married Ann Mulliken, dau. of Samuel and Ann Mullikin. See Peden and Wright, Colonial Families of the Eastern Shore (Westminster, 2000), vol. 7, 134-36.

| 11039 | The Thomas Book says that this is the "Mary" who married Dr. William Lansdale; this is only a possibility. I assume that the following act pertains to her and her two children; her father's name matches. AN ACT for the benefit of William Henry Lansdale and Thomas Reeder Lansdale, children of Mary Lansdale, of Saint-Mary's county. Passed January 5, 1805: WHEREAS it is represented to this general assembly, by the petition of Mary Lansdale, of Saint-Mary's county, that her two children, William Henry Lansdale and Thomas Reeder Lansdale, are entitled, under the will of their uncle Thomas Reeder, to two small tracts or parcels of land lying in the county aforesaid, containing one hundred and fifty acres : And whereas, it is also represented, that the annual value of the said land, clear of the payment of an annuity to which it is subjected by the will of the late doctor Henry Reeder, deceased, grandfather to the said children, amounts but to the sum of three pounds ten shillings, and that great advantages would arise to the said children, in their future maintenance and education, from the pass.age of a law authorising the sale of the said two small tracts or parcels of land; therefore, II. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the orphans court of Saint-Mary's county shall have full power and authority, upon application of the said Mary Lansdale, and on the part of the said two children, and being satisfied that it is necessary, and will be of advantage to the said children, William Henry Lansdale and Thomas Reeder Lansdale, to order the sale of the said two tracts or parcels of land, upon such terms as the said court may think proper, and to appoint a trustee or trustees for the purpose of effecting such sale. III. AND BE IT ENACTED, That any sale made by the authority of the orphans court of the said county under this act, shall be notified to and confirmed by the orphans court aforesaid, before the conveyance of the property shall be made, and bond, with good and sufficient security, in the name of the state of Maryland, to be approved by the orphans court of the said county, shall be given by the person or persons empowered to sell the land as aforesaid, for the due execution of the trust committed, which bond shall be lodged with the register of wills for the county aforesaid, and the said bond shall be recorded, and be subject to be put in suit by any person or persons interested, in the same manner as administration bonds now are. IV. AND BE IT ENACTED, That the trustee or trustees appointed by virtue of this act shall be accountable to the guardian of the said children, under the directions of the orphans court for the county aforesaid, and pay over the money arising from the sale of the land aforesaid in such manner as the court aforesaid shall or may direct. V. AND BE IT ENACTED, That any conveyance or deed made by the trustee or trustees aforesaid, pursuant to the directions of the orphans court of the county aforesaid, shall and is hereby declared to be valid and effectual to pass and convey all the right, title and interest, of the said William Henry Lansdale and Thomas Reeder Lansdale, in and to the land aforesaid, to the purchaser or purchasers of the same. | Reeder, Mary "Polly" (I4032)

| 11043 | The tradition is that three Lansdale brothers immigrated from England to Prince George's and Lower Montgomery Counties; this seems to have happened around 1700, give or take a decade (probably give). The “Three brothers” tradition appears in a lot of families; it might be because there were several and no-one knew how they were related. According to Henry Hutton's notes, two were apparently named William and Thomas. If these names are correct, I don't know whether John was the third, or (his son) Isaac—I’d assume the latter, since he was born in England and died in Maryland. Hutton also goes on to say that William was "the father of Dr. Philip Lansdale and Mrs. Ed. B. Duval"—he's referring to William Moylan Lansdale. According to Effie G. Bowie, "Isaac Lansdale I, born in Leicestershire, England, about 1686; settled at Queen Anne, Prince George's Co., MD where he owned a plantation, "Rich Thicket"; merchant; imported goods from Philip South of London; Warden of Queen Ann parish; vestryman; d. before August, 1733, in which year Thomas Lancaster, his wife's brother, administered his estate. He marryed Margaret, daughter of Richard Lancaster, merchant of London and Prince George's County." According to Barnes, he "arrived in Maryland by 1719" and was "in PG Co. by 3 March 1725 when he was listed as a creditor of Susannah Mitchell. He d. by 10 July 1734 when Thomas Lancaster was mentioned as his admin." | Lansdale, Isaac I (I3912)

| 11044 | The transcription of his marriage record in the New Orleans Archives says: Juan Joseph (Lazaro and Clara Julien), gravely ill, native of Allos, Dioces of Marseilles in Provence, French Empire [Allos, dept. of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence], m. Maria Isavel Duquesnay, Jun. 5, 1807, w. Pedro Lefebre, Andres Vieux, Francisco Menard, and groom’s brother and sister in law (SLC, M6, 16) [ed. note: place of marriage not stated]. The record as it appears under DuQuesnay names Maria Isavel as “Widow Chantuq.” Lefebre, Vieux, and Menard were witnesses. The note from the editors of the NOLA Archives says that the parish is Allos, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence département. In fact it is Allauch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allauch located near Marseille. Maria Desiree (Desideria, Deseada, Desire) Fouque was married to Juan Vigneau on 4 Mar. 1793 in St. Louis Cathedral. She was said to be from “the quarter of la Fava tierra d’Alhaux in the Diocese of Marseilles, and Ana Cecilia Maisson, native of St. Martin Parish in Marseilles.” “Alhaux” sounds a lot like it is “Allauch.” Aside from vital records, there may be more than one Joseph Fouque in New Orleans. Joseph Fouque appears as the owner and seller of several properties in the Vieux Carré Digital Survey as early as 1788. In 1805, "Joseph Fougue" appears in the New Orleans City Directory living at 21 Rue Royal South; this directory seems to be a census taken after the Louisiana Purchase. His household has: 2 males over 16 3 males under 16 2 females over 16 2 females under 16; no free persons of color; 1 male slave over 16 2 male slaves under 16 4 female slaves over 16 4 female slaves under 16 A "Wid. Fouque" appears in the 1810 census for New Orleans; household has 1 male 26-44, 1 female 16-25, and 2 slaves (if it is in fact the correct entry--the handwriting makes me unsure whether it's the right person). I'm not sure how this could be him or his wife, if it's the correct entry to begin with. This entry appears in the 1811 New Orleans directory: Fouque, Joseph . . . negociant, merchant . . . 21 Royale A "Joseph Fouque" appears 131 times in the Afro-Louisiana History and Genealogy database as a buyer and seller of slaves between 1807 and 1813 in New Orleans, though about four transactions appear earlier, in the 1790s. Many of the slaves are given an African tribe (Wolof, Mina, Makwa, Hausa, etc.) for "African Ethnicity." (The importation of slaves was banned in 1808; these may have been in the U.S. for a while, or come from the Caribbean, or be illegal late imports.) He apparently attempted to start a large plantation, but failed; discussion of his problems the with project, and their causes, appears in Thomas Ingersoll, Mammon and Manon in Early New Orleans: The First Slave Society in the Deep South, 1718-1819 (Knoxville: U of Tennessee P, 1999): 276-79. Many of the records took place on 8 Feb. 1813 with the seller as "Estate's (Deceased Master) Name: Fouque." The sugar planatation that was liquidated at his death. The newspaper Courier de la Louisiane lists a sale by his creditors on 29 March 1813 of "a very fine sugar plantation situated about three leagues above New Orleans on the right bank of the river purchased by the said Joseph Fouque from Mr. A Harang"; 58 slaves were to be sold. | Fouque, Jean Joseph (I6650)

| 11048 | The Victorian Era history of Lancaster contains this bit in the history of the Manor of Pennington, in the town of Leigh. “In 1701 John Bradshaw, grandson of Richard, conveyed the manor to trustees (fn. 62) for the use of his daughter and heiress Margaret, who married in 1717 George Farington of Worden, (fn. 63) who with his wife in 1723 conveyed it to trustees, (fn. 64) by whom Pennington Hall, Bradshaw Leach, and other tenements were sold in 1726 to James Hilton (fn. 65) of Pennington, mercer, for £4,550. (fn. 66) His son Samuel Hilton, on his marriage with Miss Mary Clowes of Smedley, daughter of Samuel Clowes, then of Chaddock in Tyldesley, rebuilt the hall. (fn. 67) “ And this is footnote 65 about James Hilton: “John Hilton (d. 1698) was a considerable landowner in 1689, owning a house in Leigh, Twiss House, Lansdales and Blackfields in Pennington, of the yearly value of £8 10s.; Rose, Leigh in Eighteenth Century, 15.” | Hilton (I5435)
