| 8251 | I assume that this is the same person, but there may be more than one. | St. Barbe, Poole (I6314)
|
| 8252 | I assume that this is the son of Thomas S. Iglehart Jr.; his grave is not at All Hallows'. I deduce the relationship from the obituary for his wife where he is called "III." | Iglehart, Thomas Sellman III (I6766)
|
| 8253 | I assume that this means Winston-Salem. | Dunn, Florence Lula (I6101)
|
| 8254 | I assume that this Richard Clagett is the Richard "Claggett" identified in Mackenzie (S166) as her father. | Clagett, Mary (I654)
|
| 8255 | I assume that this--or perhaps his father--is the Samuel Chew mentioned by J. Reaney Kelley in Quakers in the Founding of Anne Arundel Co. as one of the several Quaker owners of the brigantine "Betty," captained by Henry Hill. | Chew, Samuel (I9938)
|
| 8256 | I assume that, because her grandfather’s name was Heard, that her mother Eva Heard had been married twice, to a Mr. Rogan--hence her “sister’s” (that is, half-sister’s?) names being Rogan. | Dooley, Evalyn Heard (I14214)
|
| 8257 | I assume this date because he does not appear with his wife and child on the 1850 census. | Whitaker, Alfred (I7201)
|
| 8258 | I assume this means the Newtown in Bucks Co. | Pratt, Joseph (I2539)
|
| 8259 | I assume this means the Newtown in Bucks Co. | Rhytherrach, Philip (I10031)
|
| 8260 | I assume this this is his family on the 1850 census because his age there matches up with the death record, and the initials of the parents match. I can't find any hint of the family on the 1860 or 1870 or 1880 censuses, which is odd. Considering where he was born, they may not have been living in Orleans Parish. In the Familysearch.org "Louisiana, Marriages" database, "Heinz Conrad" Wiltz married Josephine Antoinette Pitard in 1853, but having seen the license certificate, “Heinz” here is a bad transcription of "Alcine" Conrad. In the 1870 census, the HOH is "Elcini Wiltz" (M), aged 40: Wiltz, Elcini, aged 40 ---, Josephine, aged 39 (looks like "30" because the 9 is written with two strokes) ---, Elcini, 17 ---, Lavinia, 9 ---, Louise, 5 ---, Norbert, 2 (looks like "21" because of a flourish) "Elcini" should be "Alcine." Alcine Jr. and Lavinia and Norbert are the correct ages. Mary is missing; I assume she died young. See his wife about the Louis/Louise question. The 1872 city directory includes an "A.C. Wiltz" living at 90 Bolivar. On Oct. 10, 1874 appears an obit. for "A.C. Wiltz," which is most likely him, since the birth year and initials match up. The death record for the date, however, gives the name "Jean Baptiste A. Wiltz." I'd expect that maybe "Jean Baptiste" is the name of his father? There was a Louis A. Wiltz (1843-81) who was mayor of NOLA in the 1860s. There are many Wiltzes in New Orleans and Louisiana. | Wiltz, Alcine Conrad (I179)
|
| 8261 | I assume, by the date of her parents' marriage, that she died young. | Kello, Isabella (I9210)
|
| 8262 | I assume, by the date of her parents' marriage, that she died young. | Kello, Dancy (I9211)
|
| 8263 | I can find no official LA death record for Joseph Pitard. | Pitard, Joseph Barthelemy (I13627)
|
| 8264 | I can find no record of her death, which must have been during the War, perhaps while her husband was away serving in it. | Umland, Johanna (I6416)
|
| 8265 | I can only find her husband's family in Newman, not her descent. | Warfield, Anne (I10555)
|
| 8266 | I can't find a wife of his on the census. IN 1870 William C. Tomlinson is living with James and Florida Needin. A "W.C. Tomlinson" was a newspaper man who appears in several notices in Galveston and Dallas about starting newspapers in the early 1870s. He might not be the same man, though: This note appears on 14 February 1874 in Texas newspapers: "Mr. W.C. Tomlinson, late of the Waco Advance, has been placed in the lunatic asylum. His insanity is of a mild type." | Tomlinson, William Chisholm Noel (I2600)
|
| 8267 | I can't find any record of her. | Kahle, Esther (I13691)
|
| 8268 | I can't find any record of this marriage except to put together her mother's obituary and her own death notice. Her mother's obit. says that Mrs. Henry Miller lives in Fawnskin, Ca., in San Bernardino County; she died in Inyo county. Fawnskin, according to Wikipedia, was a rural artist's colony. Inyo is also relatively rural. Note that there is another (seems to be another) Evelyn Miller who lived in Piedmont, CA. According to his 1942 draft registration her husband had no middle initial. | Coffee, Evelyn Ross (I13647)
|
| 8269 | I can't find her as a married woman (married to Benjamin Shreve) on the census. | Simpson, Laura (I7298)
|
| 8270 | I can't find him or his children on the census at all! | Beall, Thomas Tongue (I5647)
|
| 8271 | I cannot figure out, in Thomas, how she is related to the rest of the Snowdens? | Snowden, Eliza (I11296)
|
| 8272 | I cannot find his 1700 baptismal record. His marriage record names his parents as Pierre Fouque and Elizabeth. | Fouque, Jean Joseph (I16276)
|
| 8273 | I cannot find where Dunclady Meeting might have been located. | Family: Andrew Moore / Margaret Wilson (F3043)
|
| 8274 | I cite him because he cites his sources well, esp. W.L. Lowell's history of the Decker family, along with others. | Source (S755)
|
| 8275 | I could be wrong here on one of these census records. They make sense in all ways except for the ages: She is 22 in 1920, but 39 in 1930; and on the 1930 census she says she was first married at age 20. I'm tempted to think that the age on the 1920 census is incorrect. And, the mark on the 1920 census to say whether she's married or single is not clear--it looks like an "N" with an "o" above it. It doesn't look at all like the "M" or "S" or "D" or "Wd" markings on the rest of the page. | Goodrich, Yvonne "Mère" (I15026)
|
| 8276 | I divide up his children by approximate birth date, as recorded in censuses, on either side of his 1847 documented marriage to Almira McLellan. Internet notes say that he owned, with several others, an eponymous ship. In the 1870 census an Anna Curling, aged 36, born in England, is "boarding" in his household. Perhaps she's a sister. She's in the burial plot in the Village Cemetery in Thomaston, dates 1834-1902. | Curling, Capt. Sanders (I1375)
|
| 8277 | I do not record all of this spouses of all of their children; see Tillman. | Ogle, Benjamin Jr. (I7163)
|
| 8278 | I do not record all of this spouses of all of their children; see Tillman. | Cooke, Anna Maria (I7164)
|
| 8279 | I don't know whether Walker was her maiden name or a middle name. | Mary Walker (I12955)
|
| 8280 | I don't see any evidence of a birth date. As "Ysavel Kingt" in her marriage record to Antonio Dubroqua (in St. Louis Cathedral records). As "Elisa Naiter" on her daughter Elise's birth record. That she is the mother of Marie Elizabeth "Elise" is clear in multiple records. Records of her (as Eliza Reels) and the settlement of her St. Mary Parish estate appear in various newspapers in Dec. 1850 and later. François M. Dumartrait was the administrator of the estate. Ganier (33-34) says that she was married to François Marcel Dumartrait, inferred from the probate records of her mother Eliza Reels (d. Nov. 1850): "At her death, François Marcel Dumartrait of St. Martin Parish petitions that his grandmother Elizabeth Knight, widow of Patrick Reels, died 21 November 1850. He said that he was entitled to one-half her property, and the other half should go to Marie Elizabeth Dubroque [sic], widow of Narcisse Rigon (Rigau), 'now residing in the Republic of France.'" But: It is not clear to me how, or even whether, François M. Dumartrait is the grandson of Eliza Knight. Newspaper notices say that François M. Dumartrait became the administrator of Eliza Reels' estate in 1850, and in August 1853 filed a final account of his administration. But what's a relation? François Marcel was b. 1828 & m. Felice Delahoussaye. François Marcel was a son of Adrien Dumartrait and Françoise Celeste Collins. Adrien was married to Louise Grevemberg and Françoise Celeste Collins. Françoise Celeste was the son of Theophilus Collis and Elizabeth Leonard. The public record, at least, does not show a clear link to the Knight family. Why was François M. Dumartrait the administrator of Eliza Reels' estate? F. M. Dumartrait appears in newspapers as a Clerk of the Police Jury in the Avoyelles Parish in 1879. His relative A. F. Dumartrait was a judge in St. Mary Parish (his name is everywhere in newspapers). Genealogist Karen Theriot Reader, citing Hébert, says that Elizabeth J. Knight had two children with Jean Theophile (or Theophilus) Collins (1752-ca 1810): F Sarah COLLINS 1792-1793 F Elizabeth Celeste COLLINS 1794-1843 Reader says that Collins and Knight had a "relationship," not a marriage. Theophilus Collins, born 1752 in Virginia, was married twice: First to Anne Eve Joy, and then to and Elizabeth/Isabel Leonard. Collins and Leonards were the parents of (at least) five children born in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, between 1792 and 1806 (Sara, Constance, Helen, Marie Celeste, and John Gilbert). (e.g. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:HSR3-RGW2 ). One possibility is that these records are conflated with the Knight family. Reader cites Hébert here. This note is Hébert's note about Adrien Dumartrait: —LAMBERT, Adrien Michel Dumartrait - inhabitant of this parish; native of the city of Paris (major son of Francois LAMBERT de Chaumes & Jeanne Eleonore PEPIN) m. 21 Jan. 1819 Celeste COLLINS - of this parish; native of Opeloussas Parish (major daughter of dec. Theophile & Bethsy KNIGT [KNIGHT]) Wits: Joseph DUBUCLET, Jean DARBY, Michel HALPHEN, Philippe MARTIN, Denis HALPHEN. Fr. Gabriel ISABEY (SM Ch.: v.6, #123) —COLLINS, Celeste - of this parish; native of Opeloussas parish (major daughter of dec. Theophile & Bethsy KNIGT [KNIGHT]) m. 21 Jan. 1819 Adrien Michel LAMBERT Dumartrait - inhabitant of this parish; native of the city of Paris (major son of Francois LAMBERT de Chaumes & Jeanne Eleonore PEPIN) Wits: Joseph DUBUCLET, Jean DARBY, Michel HALPHEN, Philippe MARTIN, Denis HALPHEN. Fr. Gabriel ISABEY (SM Ch.: v.6, #123) So Celeste Collins might be a daughter of Theophilus Collins and Elizabeth Knight. But what are these records that say Theopile (Collins) and Bethsy Knight had children? What is "SM Ch.: v.6, #123," and how can I see what it might say? It and Ganier's note about the Elizabeth Knight sucession seem to be the two bits of evidence of this connection, but they are not readily available. | Knight, Elizabeth J. "Eliza" (I2668)
|
| 8281 | I don't see him on the 1880 census in his parent's household? See the Times-Picayune paper 12 July 1908: "Dr. and Mrs. Joseph T. DeGrange and daughter Mildred and Josephine and son Joseph left on board ‘Comus' on Wednesday for New York then by steamer to Rotterdam for an extended trip through Europe." For an image, see: History of the Orleans Parish Medical Society 1878--1928, by A. E. Fossier, A.D., A.M., M.D. (1930, Privately Printed), plate 5. | Degrange, Dr. Joseph Tormey (I200)
|
| 8282 | I don't see who his wife's name might have been. | St. Barbe, Poole (I6314)
|
| 8283 | I don’t find him on any UK census records. He appears on a 1866 voter registration roll in San Francisco, California in the 10th Ward as a police detective, a naturalized citizen, aged 40, living at 933 Howard. A B.S. Blitz appears on the San Francisco 1852 census as having been born in Holland. | Blitz, Bernard S. (I14156)
|
| 8284 | I doubt this, considering her mother's death date. | Hacker, Eunnie A. (I13936)
|
| 8285 | I find her on the 1860 census at the remarkable age of 90, but not in 1850. She must have been a living repository of family history by the time she died; she was part of the Johnson and Hixson family migration from New Jersey to Virginia, and would have had living memories of the Revolutionary War in New Jersey and Pennsylvania (this was her father's generation) to tell to the young generation of Civil War soldiers. | Johnson, Elizabeth (I9526)
|
| 8286 | I follow Loeser (S54) here for her parentage; Newman (2.272) says that she is the "daughter of Thomas Maccubin . . . and the sister of Charles and Moses Maccubin." Loeser does give her siblings named Charles and Moses, but also a father named Moses, son of John the immigrant. | Maccubbin, Eleanor (I8623)
|
| 8287 | I follow Newman (in AAG) for her birth date; the cemetery records seems to give 1725 for her birth year, but this doesn't fit in with her siblings. | Hammond, Elizabeth "Betty" (I9096)
|
| 8288 | I give the date and the image frame number, not the document’s folio number. | Source (S811)
|
| 8289 | I give the death dates for his wives by the marriage dates to the subsequent wife. | Magruder, Samuel (I5456)
|
| 8290 | I go by the 1900 census here, though the 1880 census implies that she was born in 1868: could they be off by 10 years in 1880? | Pitard, Agatha (I10852)
|
| 8291 | I have a copy of a letter from her in June, 1943 about her nephew Laurence's wedding. | Lansdale, Harriet "Hattie" Franklin (I3547)
|
| 8292 | I have also seen a John Battee as one of this her children with FB Sr. I have not seen him listed as being married to anyone. I especially follow Loeser's research here. Loeser (1998) discusses the question of whether she his Elizabeth Smith, daughter of Nathan Smith. | Wood, Elizabeth (I3349)
|
| 8293 | I have also seen her named on the web as "Hesselius," which is a family name in ways for which I have not yet seen documentary evidence, but "Woodward" is what is on her gravestone. Dr. Murray, I believe, was married several times, and an earlier wife was named Hesselius. There are links through his wives to the Lee family of Virginia, the Mason family of Virginia, and to other well connected people--which are not a direct part of this tree, though. | Woodward, Harriet (I8034)
|
| 8294 | I have also seen Merionethshire, but I go with Streets here. | Walker, Lewis (I4548)
|
| 8295 | I have as yet no authoritative record of the Freeland family or their children. I know that he and his wives had many more than are listed here. It would seem from his marriage to a Johns that he was a Quaker, though children (i.e., his son Frisby) moved away from Quakerism. | Freeland, Robert III (I12158)
|
| 8296 | I have cited the burial sub-page as its own source, though there is much else on the site that is a help. | Source (S511)
|
| 8297 | I have edited the correspondence that remains from him and his wife. According to the 1880 census, he is a native, and his father was born in France, his mother in Cuba. On his marriage record, he is named the son of "John DeGrange and Elisabeth." in 1860, he is living with his wife in his father's household. Early notices about him that appear in newspapers, in the later 1860s, refer to his work with the Jackson Fire Engine company and then, later, as a representative in the state legislature in the late 1860s. He also seems to have been a Mason and a member of other similar social clubs. In the 1870 Census, Joseph H. and Ellen are living in the 2nd Ward, with "Hy," or Henry, "Ned," "Jo," "Ben," and Isabella (who is 1 and 1/2). Ellen McMillan is also living with them at this point, aged 10. This is the year that Joseph travels to New York and Boston, as recorded in their correspondence. The letters by and to JHDegrange include many back and forth to Ellen on a trip to New York and Boston. Enclosed in one from Ellen is a newpaper clipping which mentions "Mr. Jos. H. Degrange, recently a member of the firm of Montgomery Bros., and also a Representative in the State Legislature, left yesterday evening for the North on a trip which he intends to combine business and pleasure. We trust his combination may be eminently successful." It is enclosed in a letter dated June 1869. In 1881, he was in the procession for the funeral of James Garfield as a member of the Washington Artillery, Company B. Note in the New Orleans Item, 10 Nov. 1891, page 2: "MUNICIPAL MATTERS: the Board of Fire Commissioners Organized. There was an executive session of the new Board of Fire Commissioners last evening in the Mayor's parlor. Mayor Shakepeare [sic] presided over the meeting. There were present: Messrs. Wellman, Fisher, Kuhner, Reilly, Noel, Simpson, Barker, DeGrange, and Pitard. After the meeting had adjourned it was learned that Mr. J.H. DeGrange, member at large from the upper district, was chosen acting president of the Board. " On August 31, 1913, appears this note in The New York Times: "Col. Joseph de Grange of New Orleans, who has been in the American Hospital at Neuilly [France] for several weeks and undergone two operations, has arranged to leave Paris for America with his daughter, Mrs. A.W. Mclellan, by the Imperator on Sept. 11." His funeral was at 1709 Prytania. He and his wife are buried in the DeGrange tomb in Metairie Cemetery. | Degrange, Joseph H. (I198)
|
| 8298 | I have included his family in here - in-laws in the Groos familie von Breitscheid - because "Dieser Jost Loib, der kinderlos starb, war der älteste Schwiegersohn des Matthias Scherer zu Breitscheid, und der namengebende Pate unseres Ahnen Johann Jost Groos, des Sohnes von Antonius Groos"; "This Jost Loib, who died childless, was the eldest son-in-law of Matthias Scherer zu Breitscheid and the eponymous godfather of our ancestor Johann Jost Groos, the son of Antonius Groos." | Loib, Jost (I17021)
|
| 8299 | I have no concrete confirmation that this is the burying place. I do know that the old house at Essex still stood at this time, and where the Battee burying ground is, however, and assume that this generation was buried there. | Battee, Elizabeth "Aunt Betty" (I3340)
|
| 8300 | I have no concrete confirmation that this is the burying place. I do know that the old house at Essex still stood at this time, and where the Battee burying ground is, however, and assume that this generation was buried there. | Battee, Fardinando Jr. (I3341)
|
| 8301 | I have no concrete confirmation that this is the burying place. I do know that the old house at Essex still stood at this time, and where the Battee burying ground is, however, and assume that this generation was buried there. | Wooden, Elizabeth (I3342)
|
| 8302 | I have not seen his name except in the 1860 census, in which he is living in his father's household. | Iglehart, Osborne S. (I10554)
|
| 8303 | I have recorded most of descendants of this line as recorded in Newman, vol. 2 of Anne Arundel Gentry. | Waters, John (I5429)
|
| 8304 | I have scanned their wedding invite to the Hall docs folder. They were married "Wednesday, September the first, eighteenhundred and ninety seven, at twelve o'clock, 417 East Washington Street, Charles Town, West Virginia." | Kennedy, Mary Brehme (I5122)
|
| 8305 | I have seen her parents listed as Christian King and Margaret Toot, but without any evidence. Among other issues, the reported date of her mother Margaret's birth would only make her 6 when Susannah was born, an impossibility. The connection from her to her parents--and thus to a Dutte family ancestry--can only be rated as tentative to the point of confusion. | King, Susannah (I9372)
|
| 8306 | I have seen his death date as October, but I don't know why. This date matches his probate date well. | Sellman, John (I8132)
|
| 8307 | I have seen Zion Church, Hummelstown, Pennsylvania as her birth place/baptismal place. | Philippina (I9403)
|
| 8308 | i have two children here, Achsah and John. I would like sure confirmation of this connection. Guardians Bonds, Dec. 18, 1792: Andrew Keith guardian of James Strain. He and his brother John married sisters. Augusta Co. Land records: D. Bk. 33, p. 322, Jan. 27, 1806: James Strain one of the collateral heirs of James Strain to Isaac Yearout his 1/8 part. [signed] James Strain. This land is on the north side of the Middle River of the Shenandoah; neighbors are Poage, Erwen, and the river. D. Bk. 33, p. 94: James and Patsey Strain deed land to James McComb. D. bk. 34, p. 158, dated 28 Sep 1807. James & Patsy (Henderson) Strain, John & Nancy (Henderson) Strain, John & Sarah Henderson and James & Susannah (Henderson) McComb, all from Augusta and heirs of William Henderson, all deed land (100 acres on Christians Creek) to David Henderson. See the corresponding sales records under the pages for his brothers John and Allen. Apparently the family was moving en masse to Tennessee. | Strain, James Jr. (I11915)

| 8314 | I know of his name from his mother's obituary, published in New Orleans, which says that he's a resident of the city. One of his obituaries says that he had been a resident of New Orleans for 12 years before his death. | Maupay, Edward (I13658)
|
| 8315 | I know that Ezra's mother is Mary, and I assume that her last name is Busson from the Montgomery Co. marriage record of Henry Lansdale. Henry's son Charles, by Minta Wilson, also married a woman from Montgomery County (C.E.M.K. Pumphrey). Also could be "Bufson." | Busson, Mary (I6504)

| 8329 | I place the four younger children with his second wife because of Priscilla's 1856 death date, and because the mother's birth place as designated on the census differs: his second wife (only as "Fanny") was born in Vermont, his first (Priscilla Bowie) in Maryland | Ogle, Richard Lowndes (I7162)
|
| 8330 | I realize that both children seem to be born well before their marriage; I record the license date of the marriage from Newman, and the children from the 1850 census. He died intestate, and his brother Franklin was named administrator by the court on Sept. 11, 1851. His estate sale documents are extensive--including the assessment of his property, and the list of buyers; they are all contained in the Franklin Waters notebooks at Essex. He appears throughout Dr. Franklin Waters' ledger B, for 1826 et seq. | Waters, Nathan (I3793)

| 8332 | I rely on Niebling for the connection between this Gilbert and his son John, whose information is more complete than anyone else's that I've seen. Sometime before August 1741 he migrated across the Potomac to Fairfax Co., Virginia. | Simpson, Gilbert Sr. (I10615)
|
| 8333 | I rely on Niebling for the connection between this Gilbert and his son John, whose information is more complete than anyone else's that I've seen. The confusion between the three Gilbert Simpsons is a notorious genealogical problem, and Neibling has worked extensively on them. Please refer to his work for full documentation. John Simpsons owned a farm named "Coon Skin" farm, on Goose Creek, near Carter's Mill, Loudon Co., VA. According to the volumes of will abstracts between 1757-1800 there are no Simpson (or Hixson, or Isch) wills recorded in Loudoun Co. According to the Simpson family history compiled by J.H. Simpson (d. 1977), he always lived in Loudoun Co. I've seen on-line notes which give him ancestry in Fairfax Co., VA, and before that in Charles Co., Maryland. Harry Wright Newman, in The Maryland Semmes and Kindred Families, describes a Simpson family which descends from Thomas Simpson of St. Thomas, Charles County; I don't see any possibiity in the volume, however, of a John Simpson who migrates to Loudoun County, or Virginia at all. Since his wife, however, seems to be related to Charles County families, this still might be possible. There is another possible ancestry. Other internet sources claim that he was a Scottish immigrant who settled on Dogues Neck in Fairfax Co., on the Potomac River. The same information comes from the reliable S268, the Gulick family history, which mentions that "Mary Simpson [John and Mary's grand-daughter] was a granddaughter of John Simpson and Mary More. John Simpson came from Scotland and was the ancestor in America of this Simpson Line" (275). However, there is no documentary evidence provided here. | Simpson, John (I9426)

|
| 8342 | I take her name from her marriage record, which is the same as on her cathedral baptismal record. Her baptismal record also names her parents. She is Aurore on her death certificate. On her marriage record she is named as the daughter of Ysavel Fouque. She is called a native of St. Bernard on her marriage certificate. This may refer to where her parents were living when she was married, but it does not seem to be her birth place. On the St. Domingue Indemnity Record for her family, she is Marie Cecile Fouque. I am indebted to Angela duQuesnay-Garcia for this information and for her work on the Fouque and duQuesnay ancestry on this site (S83 under "Sources"). The name confusion could be because she had several names, or because she changed it coming to New Orleans, or because "Aurore" on her death certificate was how her family knew her. There is a possiblity that "Aurore" and "Marie Cecile" are sisters, but for now, I assume they are the same until further evidence comes along. There is this possibly related NOLA death record: Fauque, Jean . . . 28 yrs . . . M . . . W . . . 08/18/1837 . . . [vol] 7 . . . [page] 202 The Parish Court Index for New Orleans gives this undated entry: Plaintiff: Fouque, Anne Cecile Defendant: Fernandez, Jh. M. (husband) Number: 8359 In 1847 her name appears in the Notarial Archives document in the index to some work by Adolphe Mazureau, Notary Public in order, presumably, to settle her husband's estate: Fernandez, Mrs. Ann Cecile Fongue [sic], widow of Joseph Marie Fernandez From John Ragan Release from Mortgage, May 14, 1847 The 1849 New Orleans Notarial Archives list this entry in the Adolphe Mazureau indexes: Ternandez [sic] Mrs. Anne C. Fougue {sic], widow of Joseph M. Fernandez from Mrs. Lorenzo M. Fernandez, wife of Daniel Maupay Sale of property Jan. 6, 1849 #10 She is described as "mulatto" on the 1850 census, but this seems to be the only place. She is "white" on censuses thereafter. Her death certificate also says she is white. | Fouque, Ana Cecilia (I6647)

| 8344 | I take here the descent as traced in The Thomas and Elizabeth (Smith) Plummer Family, that the wife of Thomas Plummer was Elizabeth Smith, not Elizabeth Stockett the daughter of Thomas and Anne Wells. The volume updates information presented in the 1987 article by Honeyman and Winkelman on the Plummers. She is included on the Quaker Ancestors page because her daughter Elizabeth married into a Quaker family, the Ijams. | Smith, Elizabeth “Eliza” (I5393)

|
| 8351 | I think he belongs here as a child of Henry and Dinah; Warfield is unclear, and I like better confirmation anyway. According to Warfield, he was "an officer in charge at Annapolis during the War of 1812." Was he also in the Revolution? Note these resolutions by the Maryland General Assembly: Passed Feb 14 1817, In favour of Gen Jno. Gassaway. No. 58. - Resolved, That the treasurer of the western shore be and he is hereby directed, to pay to General John Gassaway, or his order, the sum of six hundred dollars, out of any unappropriated money in the treasury, it being the difference between the pay of officers of his rank during the time he was in actual service, and the annual compensation previously allowed him by law. Passed Dec. 19, 1821., In favor of Elisabeth L. Gassaway No. 4. - Resolved, That the treasurer of the western shore be, and he is hereby directed to pay to Elizabeth L. Gassaway, widow of the late general John Gassaway, of the city of Annapolis, or to her order, the sum of thirty eight dollars, being the amount of money due her husband at the time of his death, on account of the pension allowed him for revolutionary services. | Gassaway, Gen.

| 8354 | I think that these are his siblings, from NOLA birth indices; the only evidence, though, is the coincidence in "Bernard's" birth date: Kelly, Thomas Joseph . . .

| 8357 | I think that this is her birth date; it is recorded in her brother in law Gus Pitard's date book as "Alice Pitard." Wallis and Alice Pitard had no children. Also living with her on the 1940 census is her daughter Julie from her first marriage, Julie Strauss. "Strauss" must be her name from her first marriage, then. Her name on her 1931 marriage record is Alice Colomb Vreeland Strauss. | Colomb, Alice Helene (I1063)

| 8359 | I think this couple were Quakers; they were from Talbot County. Hugh was a member of the State Legislature, I think (the "House of Delegates"). Hugh and Mary had about 8 children, including Margaret Sherwood, who married William Hambleton Jr. His house was named Crooked Intention. According to Weeks (20), "Crooked Intention got its name in 1681 when Hugh Sherwood took out a patent for 130 acres in Talbot County. According to one widely circulated legend, Sherwood had planned to return to England, but this intention was never fulfilled, and he decided to settle in Maryland instead, naming the land here Crooked Intention to signify his revised plans for the future."

| 8382 | I've also seen this spelled "Bermiss," "Bermis," "Bermise." Her dates are from her grave in Metarie; she is buried in the Pitard tomb. Her birth date is before her parents' marriage, apparently. In the 1880 census she is living at the Prydras (actually a typo for Poydras) Female Orphan Asylum in New Orleans. The asylum was founded by a grant from the Hugenot Julien Poydras in 1811, and incorporated in 1817. It was apparently hurt badly in the yellow fever epidemic of 1878. Her age at the time is listed as 8, with here two sisters: Alice, aged 6, and Clowdsley, aged 4. When her father died, the children were put into the asylum; her brothers were put in the asylum for destitute boys. Women had little or no means of personal support at the time. NB: A "W. Bemiss" also served in Watson's Battery, which Daniel Pitard's father Gustave Pitard Sr. served. | Bemiss, Barsilla (I143)

|
| 8385 | I've seen her as "Sarah Artesse" who was the daughter of Benjamin Hixson and Sarah Hutchinson, but these are the parents of Mary Hixson, the wife of Vincent's son John "Hickory" Dye. For her name, note the marriage certificate, attached, which gives her as "Sarah Artepe." There is no evidence that Artepe is a married name. To the contrary: she is called "spinster" on her marriage license.

| 8386 | I've seen her as Nancy A. Fuller, but her tombstone says "Nancy Adams." I assume that Fuller was the name of a first husband. Next to her stone is one that says "Adeline Prince dau of Joshua and Nancy Filler of Cushing died November 12 1840 aged 27 years 4 months and 17 days." So, was her first husband Joshua Fuller? | Adams, Nancy (I1434)

I have documented, however, their son Dr. Edwin Valette's and his wife Elizabeth Maupay's relationship and their children. According to that site, The Valette family is an old French family which also has connections to New Orleans, but which comes onto this tree via this Philadelphia marriage. Here is its record of how his branch immigrated through Anne Arundel Co., MD and then Philadelphia:

| 8393 | Identified first in 1734 as the owner, with his brother (who is possibly his father) John, of a schooner built on the Potomac. | Lancaster, Joseph (I8291)
|
| 8394 | If his mother Sarah Jarman is indeed related to Sarah Jarman his wife's mother, then they are closely related; but note that Edward Jarman, this Joseph Walker's grandmother, is only POSSIBLY a son of John Jarman the immigrant. "Joseph Walker, the eldest of the eleven children of Isaac and Sarah (Jarman) Walker, was born at "Rehoboth," July 25, 1731. He acquired the homestead on the remarriage of his mother and resided there the remainder of his life, dying there November 1, 1818, having been totally blind for several years prior to that date. He married (first) in 1752, Sarah Thomas, born May 25, 1734, died March 12, 1792, daughter of Thomas Thomas, born May 12, 1690, died July 13, 1744, and his wife, Sarah Jarman, born February 14, 1695-96, daughter of John and Margaret Jarman, the Welsh emigrants of 1685, before mentioned, and granddaughter of William and Elizabeth Thomas, also of Welsh ancestry, who were early settlers at Newton, Chester, (now Delaware) county, Pennsylvania. "Rehoboth," the home of Joseph and Sarah (Thomas) Walker, was for six months the headquarters of General Anthony Wayne, while Washington's army was encamped at the historic Valley Forge, located only a few miles distant, and General Lafayette and Washington himself were frequent visitors there. Joseph Walker and his wife were conscientious and consistent members of the Society of Friends, and, while he was a man of affairs in the community in which he lived, he refrained from taking any part in the sanguinary struggle, though contributing to the best of his ability to the relief of those suffering privations by reason thereof, without reference to party, sect or nationality. He suffered considerably from the depredations of the soldiers until given a guard to protect his property. Mary (Thomas) Jones, of Wynnewood, writing in 1829 of the life of her grandparents, Joseph and Sarah (Thomas) Walker, at "Rehoboth" during the Revolutionary period says: ‘I have heard many testify in an uncommon manner of the affectionate and grateful remembrance they had of the noble and generous acts of kindness and hospitality extended by my dear grandfather to themselves and others during the Revolutionary War, and since. They, being members of the Society of Friends, whose principles would not permit my grandfather to take an active part, either offensive or defensive in the struggle of that time, therefore united their efforts to do all in their power to relieve those that were in trouble or distress, without respect to person or party, and many were the opportunities for the exercise of the law of kindness and acts of charity to the poor half clad and shivering soldiers as well as private individuals, General Wayne having chosen their house for his headquarters for six months during the winter that Washington had his army at Valley Forge which was but a few miles from my grandfather's dwelling. They were of course surrounded by the American Army and consequently witnessed a great portion of the distress and suffering of that eventful period.' Joseph Walker married (second) in his old age, Jane, widow of William Rankin." | Walker, Joseph (I10008)

| 8423 | Immigrated in 1860. I assume that the 1880 census record is for him and his wife; he is "G" and his wife is "Minna," and the dates are close enough.

| 8424 | Immigrated in abt. 1688 to New Castle, Delaware. According to Myers, "William Dixson and Isabelle Rea, both of Parish of Sego, County Armagh, were married at the house of Roger Webb, Parish of Sego, 5 mo. 4, 1683. Among those who signed the marriage certificate were Henry Dixson, Rose Dixson, Thomas Harlan, and Isabelle Logan. This, no doubt, is the same family that came over to New Castle Co. prior to 1690. Henry Dixson, it is said, kept an inn at New Castle and had three children: (1) William was married about 1690 to Ann Gregg, daughter of William gregg, who, it is believed, also came from the north of Irleand . . . (2) Dinah, married Michael Harland 1 mo., 1690, at Newark Mtg. (3) Rose married in 1690, Thomas Pierson, widower. . ." | Dixon, Henry (I9807)
|
| 8425 | Immigrated on the same ship as his wife. | Bolton, Thomas (I3396)
|
| 8426 | Immigrated on the ship Suzanne which departed from Bourdeaux on Dec. 18, 1834; he arrived on Jan. 9, 1838, apparently to the port of New Orleans. If there is a connection with the other group of Courets (Jean Bernard, etc.) on the tree, I think it must be back in France, not here. | Couret, Jean Louis (I4856)
|
| 8427 | Immigrated to American in 1849. They immigrated by sail, and it took three months to make the crossing. His daughter Marie turned one during the crossing. | Koch, Henry Gustave (I1723)
|
| 8428 | Immigrated to Chester Co., Pennsylvania in 1728 with her husband. | Jackson, Alice (I4504)
|
| 8429 | Immigrated to Philadelphia abt 1711; settled in Bucks Co., PA; then moved to Loudon Co., VA at age 21. He was a Quaker. He lived to be an astonishing 107 years old. Several of his children married children of John Gregg (I9813, b. 1716); several others married the children of George Gregg (I6060, b. 1720). He is not, however, tied into the Quaker Greggs descended from immigrant ancestor William, at least on this side of the Atlantic, that Kendall (S253) could discover. Clark (S251) gives his ancestry back to immigration. | Gregg, Samuel (I6055)
|
| 8430 | Immigrated to Texas in 1848 with the family. He had 8 children by his second wife, Anna. Also see: The German Connection, volume 23 No. 2, Second Quarter 1999, pp. 45-46. Also see: Frederick Charles Chabot, With the makers of San Antonio: Genealogies of the early Latin, Anglo-American, and German families with occasional biographies (1937, republished later). This has a section on the Groos family and descendants on about 379-81. According to the Handbook of Texas Online (S25); "GROOS, FRIEDRICH WILHELM CARL (1827-1912). Friedrich (Frederick) Wilhelm Carl Groos, banker, was born on September 18, 1827, in Strass-Ebersbach, Dukedom of Hesse-Nassau, the son of Carl Wilhelm Apollo and Sophie Wilhelmine Luise (Martin) Groos. Groos attended school in his native town and at the gymnasiums of Wetzlar and Weilburg, graduating from the latter in 1846. He passed the examination of the engineers' school with first honors. In 1848 Groos moved to Texas with his father, three brothers, and four sisters. He lived first on a farm his father acquired in Fayette County, but in 1850 he moved to San Antonio and took a position with the mercantile firm of Guilbeau and Callaghan. François Guilbeau, Jr., ív served as French consul in San Antonio, and Bryan Callaghan was the father of Bryan V. Callaghan, Jr. (qv), who later became mayor of San Antonio. Groos represented that firm in Eagle Pass until 1854, when he formed his own merchandising and freighting company, F. Groos and Company, in partnership with his brothers Gustav and Carl Wilhelm August Groos (qv). The firm's main offices were in Eagle Pass, with branches in San Antonio, New Braunfels, and Matamoros. Groos married Gertrude Rodríguez on November 27, 1854, in Eagle Pass. They had nine children. After the outbreak of the Civil Warqv Groos moved to Monterrey. He made two trips to Europe during the war, residing with his family in Wetzlar, Germany, during 1864-66. In 1866 he moved the headquarters of F. Groos and Company to San Antonio, where he made his home for the rest of his life. In 1874 the company's mercantile operations were displaced by its banking functions, and the firm operated as a private bank until 1912, when it was chartered as the Groos National Bank. Groos served two terms on the San Antonio school board and three terms as San Antonio alderman (November 8, 1867-November 12, 1872, and January 14, 1873-January 19, 1875). In 1879 he was elected president of the gas company. Groos also served as president of the Casino Club (qv) and as president, for twenty years, of the German-English School (qv). He was an honorary member of the Beethoven Musical Association. Gertrude Groos had died on February 7, 1873, and on December 12, 1874, Groos married Anna Siemering, sister of August Siemering (qv). Groos and his second wife were the parents of eight children. Groos died on January 27, 1912, and was buried in San Antonio Cemetery Number One.

| 8431 | Immigrated to Texas in 1848 with the family. This couple had ten children (nine according to Chabot). His death is the same date in 1892 in S285. According to the Handbook of Texas Online (S25): GROOS, CARL WILHELM AUGUST (1830-1893). Carl (Karl) Wilhelm August Groos, banker, was born November 30, 1830, in Strass-Ebersbach, Dukedom of Hesse-Nassau, one of at least seven children of Carl Wilhelm Apollo and Sophie Wilhelmine Luise (Martin) Groos. Carl immigrated to Texas in 1848 with his brothers and sisters and his widowed father, arriving on the ship Louis. He lived in Fayette County for two years, then moved to Gillespie County, where he lived with relatives. In 1854 he joined his brothers Gustav and Friedrich Wilhelm Carl Groosqqv in Eagle Pass, becoming part of the freighting firm of F. Groos and Company. In 1862, during the Civil War, (qv) Carl was arrested by Confederate authorities and taken to San Antonio. Suspicion had been aroused by a letter addressed to him that was found on the body of a Mexican killed at the battle of the Nueces, or possibly in the fighting two months later when some of the German survivors tried to cross over into Mexico. Quickly released, Carl returned to Eagle Pass, then in 1863 moved to Matamoros, where F. Groos and Company had a branch office. The firm weathered the war by freighting cotton to Mexico. After the war, Carl moved to San Antonio, where the headquarters of F. Groos and Company had been relocated. On May 20, 1870, Carl married Hulda Amalie Moureau, whose father was a cotton broker in New Braunfels and a German consul. The couple had ten children. Shortly after his marriage, Carl built a home in New Braunfels. In 1968 the Texas State Historical Survey Committee (later the Texas Historical Commissionqv) awarded a historical marker to this building, at which time it housed the New Braunfels Art Center. In 1872 Carl and his wife moved to San Antonio. Groos remained active in F. Groos and Company, and his wife also became involved. The firm had developed a banking business as an adjunct to its freighting enterprise, and the former prospered to such an extent that after the war the freighting was discontinued. When the firm shifted to an exclusive focus on banking in 1874, Carl became the first president of the reorganized company. In 1879 the firm erected the first building in San Antonio devoted exclusively to banking. It was situated a half block east of its old building, at the corner of Commerce and Navarro (formerly known as Groos Alley). In 1912 this private bank became the Groos National Bank. Groos's other interests included the Western Texas Life, Fire, and Marine Insurance Company, of which he was director in 1870. In 1873 he was a member of the Republican party (qv) state executive committee. For a number of years he was president of the San Antonio Schuetzen Verein, and he was also a member of the Casino Club. (qv) Groos died in San Antonio on February 24, 1893.

|
| 8432 | Immigrated to the US from Germany, sailing from Amsterdam on the "Elizabeth" on 16 July 1753, for Broad Bay (later re-named Waldoboro), Maine. They arrived Oct. 6th, though the year is not noted. The passenger list has him, his wife, and children John Adam (23), Catherina (21), Georg Wilhelm (14), Anna Maria (12), Christoff (9), and Anna Margaretha (7). According Levensaler, the spelling "Levensaler" can be attributed to his grandson (via Johan) Adam, who started to use the spelling after about 1840. I keep use the spelling starting with Pieter's grandchildren, just for consistency. | Lievenzöllner, Pieter (I6403)
|
| 8433 | Immigrated with her brother Hugh from Ireland abt. 1729-30. She was first married to a man named Craige, who had a son named John from a first marriage. Her husband died on the ship during the crossing, and her son stayed on Boston and didn't move to Maine with his step-mother Mary and her two children. Later, she married Thomas Bolton, who had been on the ship with her. She had three children with him. | McLellan, Mary (I3395)
|
| 8434 | Immigrated with his parents in 1848. He was a state legislator. This couple had 8 children. | Groos, Adolph Karl Ludwig (I4558)
|
| 8435 | Immigrated with his wife and 5 children in 9th or 19th mo., 1729. His wife died just a few weeks later. | Miller, James (I13143)
|
| 8436 | In 1618, there was, possibly, a Virginia Land Grant to John Chew from Sir John Harvey. He was a settler at Jamestown. He arrived there in 1622 on the Charitie. That March Indians had killed 347 settlers in the area, and an epidemic had killed many more. It was a perilous time to immigrate. In 1653, John Chew moved from Maryland to Virginia. | Chew, John (I9934)
|
| 8437 | In 1693 he participated in an Expedition eastward--dying probably as result of the expedition in some way. | Briggs, Cornelius Sr. (I10372)
|
| 8438 | In 1701 she was living in Northumberland Co., Virginia. | Gresham, Martha (I11586)
|
| 8439 | In 1705, and then in 1728 and 1730, three land grants were issued to him in Somerset County, totaling 500 acres. The latter two were, therefore, issued after his death. | Pollock, James (I5891)
|
| 8440 | In 1758 Alexander and his brother Samuel Jameson were captured by Indianas at Friendship, ME and held for a few months. | Jameson, Samuel (I3418)

| 8441 | In 1764, he "left Bucks County and came to Eastown, Chester County, to live, where the bought land." He and his wife Rachel had 10 children. | Morris, Lewis (I12339)
|
| 8442 | In 1778, this couple moved from Gwynned to Radnor. | Thomas, Abel (I10010)
|
| 8443 | In 1780 he received a land grant for service in the Revolution; he was a captain of militia in the Salisbury District of North Carolina. He moved to Davidson co., Tennessee about 1800. | Demoss, Abraham Lewis (I12591)

|
| 8446 | In 1823 there is an immigration record of "Auguste Pitaud," age 22, entering through the port of New Orleans. I would assume he is related to Joseph because Auguste is only about 26 names away from him on the 1840 census, who is on the next page (217). An indenture also connects him to Louis Francois. Louis and Augustine Pitard appear in the Indentures Index at nutrias.org in 1822. The indenture mentions Cuba (that he was born in Santiago), and that Louis François Pitard is the "pere" of Augustine Dominique Pitard: PITARD AUGU vol. 3: no. 282 (June 1822) -- apprentice PITARD LOUI vol. 3: no. 282 (June 1822) -- sponsor His marriage in Alabama is between "Augustus Peterd" or "Peters," and "Maria Asprassin Durand." On April 7, 1835, the wife of Auguste (not "Augustine") Pitard, Aspasie Durand, filed a petition in Parish Court to sue her husband for divorce on the grounds that "the said husband has been guilty towards this petitioner of excesses and cruel treatments, that the said husband as rendered himself guilty of adultery and has kept and still keeps publicly a concubine in this city" (case #8181; court cases are NOT the best way to be remembered by posterity). The court case reveals not only this gory detail, but also that she was his wife, that they were married in 1827 in Mobile AL, and that he was "a native of New Orleans now residing in his native city." I don't see any record of children from the marriage. In 1836 he sponsored a baptism: MARIE DILIA O'BRIEN (of Jacques Edouard and Pauline Aurillon), born 22 Aug 1836, baptised 11 Jul 1837; sponsors Augustin Dominique Pitard and Estelle Bergeron (ASC-ASCENSION OF DONALDSONVILLE-6,314). In the 1840 Census Octave, Joseph, and Auguste Pitard all appear. 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, so it would have been a logical place for immigrants to travel to. In Auguste's household are 1 fwm 30-39, and that's all. The 1842 New Orleans City Directory has the same three men: 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. By 1850 he had re-married. In the 1850 census there is an A.D. Pétard, born in Louisiana, aged 44, a "Broker"; with a wife "Madeliene" [sic], aged 32, born in Germany; and a son Mortimer, aged 7, living in the 4th Ward. In 1852, "A. Pitard" appears as the secretary of Fire Company "Orleans No. 21 - Orleans, corner St. Peter." The marriage license and certificate for him and his wife Madeline is dated 20 May 1853, but the mother of his son Augustine is listed as Madeline Koenig in 1841. I assume that they had had the children before getting married later. He was pretty clearly married just before his death to provide for his wife and child. This is noted in his probate documents. The family was indigent, and Mortimer was only 12. HIs estate was contested. He had signed a promissory note on 5 January 1853. A recent act has apparently been passed by the State that allowed some of the proceeds of an estate to be claimed by a plaintiff. On December 12th, 1853, Madeleine Koenig is named has the executrix who must sell the property to repay the clamaint (the seller of the mortgage, G.A. Freret). One part of the document says that the money must be paid at "8% per annum on $200 from 8 July 1853 till paid": this would seem to be Auguste's death date. | Pitard, Augustine Dominique (I13921)
|
| 8447 | in 1850 "E. Avril," 34, born in Louisiana, appears in the New Orleans census; children are "J Avril," 11, and "A. Avril," 8. This doesn't appear to be the same family. She is called "minor daughter" on her marriage record, but she would have been about 29 at the time. Would this just mean younger daughter? I can't find an obit for her. | Duvigneaud, Elizabeth Arthemise (I15200)
|
| 8448 | In 1850 he is living alone in Madison Parish, a lawyer. According to a family descendant, "His family is confusing because he was married to another woman (Alice Danforth) for the Civil War. Her family was from New York, and Cyrus was originally from Kentucky and living in Louisiana. Legend has it that after the Civil War the Danforth family were so upset with Cyrus for serving in the Confederacy that they would not let him back into the family. Cyrus later "married" Lambella Downing (originally from Maryland) around 1868, but the marriage was not made official until 1878, soon before Cyrus' death. The general consensus is that there was some problem with getting the marriage annulled or finalized." The entry appears in the 1866 Directory for the City of New Orleans: Bemiss, Cyrus T., attorney . . . Carondelet c. Gravier An Alice Bemiss died in New Orleans on 15 Nov. 1869 (vol. 46, page 317), aged 14. She may be his daughter by his first marriage. | Bemiss, Cyrus Talbot (I4968)
|
| 8449 | In 1850 he is living next to David Kirk, age 35, with wife Hannah, aged 32; and three houses away form William Kirk, aged 52, and wife Elizabeth, aged 34. In his household on the 1870 census are also an "Eliza Right," "at home," aged 19; and "Betsy Doniphan," aged 18, as a "domestic servant." In 1880 as well is a Morris Kirk, aged 27, born in Kentucky, as with both parents; farmer. Becuase he is "Morris C." here, and much younger, it seems likely that this is not the same Morris as was on the 1850 and 1870 censuses. | Kirk, Richard Jr. (I13504)
|
| 8450 | In 1850 he was living alone in Baltimore. His first wife had died that January. He was a ship's captain in Baltimore, according to newpaper records which name him and a wife Priscilla. "Local Matters," Baltimore Sun, 14 June 1854: Launching a Vessel: - This morning, at about 10 o'clock, Messrs. William and James Skinner, will launch from their ship yard, near the observatory, Federal Hill, a fine schooner of about 150 tons burthen, built for Capt. Thomas R. Skinner, whe designes prosecuting principallly the West India trade. She is to be called "Prisciall," is remarkable for the excellence of her model, notwithstanding is of substantial build, and will doubtless sustain the reputation of Baltimore clippers. In 1860 he appears on the census for Astoria in Oregon. He was living alone in his household, a "sailor." Presumably he was there only temporarily, though I can find no record of him after this. He is not named as deceased on his son's 1865 obituary. Thomas P. Skinner and Priscilla appear in a newpaper notice in 1866 in Baltimore: "Thomas P. Skinner and Priscilla, his wife, vs. John Galloway; action on a promissory note; judgment by confession in favor of the plaintiffs for $1,111.61" (Baltimore County Union, 15 Dec. 1866). John Galloway was the husband of Priscilla's sister Margaret. | Skinner, Capt. Thomas R. Sr. (I6848)
|
| 8451 | In 1850, she went to the Recorder's office of Births, Marriages, and Deaths in NOLA and registered the deaths of her father and siblings who had died since their immigration. There is no mention of the death of her mother. The three of her siblings who died in December of 1817 all apparently died on board a ship during the passage from Amsterdam to the US; see their death certificates. According to the certificates, the "Deponent does not recall the name of the ship." On 1 Dec. 1828, she applied in Parish court to be separated from her husband Charles Fields because "the said Fields constantly refuses to make any provision for her or their said children and that when he is in a state of drunkenness he abuses your petitioner in the most vulgar and brutal manner"; the full petition is recorded under her husband. She later attested that he died, aged 35, in 1834. Wedding certificate, which is falling apart, but which I assume to be hers: "This certifies that M. . . McMillan of the City of New Orleans, in the State of Louisiana and Mrs. Mary Field of the City of New Orleans in the State of Louisiana were joined together in Holy Matrimony this 31st Day of May in the Year of Our Lord 1838. By me, Wm. M. Curtis. Minister of the Gospel, M.E. Church. In Presence of J.E. Graff (Gross?), Pame(?la) Ross, Gary W. Ross." | Klipfel, Catherina Barbara “Mary” (I3428)
|
| 8452 | In 1855, he sold a house on 233 Lombard St., Baltimore, to his brother Robert Freeland. The two oldest sons, Edward and Albert, renounced all claim to inheritance, so it was distributed among the other 6 (surviving) children. Robert, Thomas's brother, was named the Guardian of the youngest son, Charles, who was an infant at the time of his father's death. | Freeland, Thomas Holland (I5694)
|
| 8453 | In 1858 a series of advertisements in the Daily Advocate (Baton Rouge, La) mention John H. Bernos as an “Agent for the Advocate” in the parishes of St. Bernard and Plaquemines. | Bernos, John H. (I15562)
|
| 8454 | In 1858, he was called to testify in a trial of a man named Gardes who tried to shoot him (Gerodias knocked down the pistol) on 11 Oct. 1858. The full incident is recorded in the Louisiana Courier for 23 Oct. 1858. He was in a duel in 1860. From The New York Times, 11 Feb. 1860, "Duelling in New-Orleans," published February 11, 1860: "Two duels were fought on the 28th ult. near New-Orleans. The first was at the Oaks, with small swords, between a young man named QUERY, and another whose name is not mentioned. The latter received a slight wound in the right side. The other was back of the Half-way House, between Messrs. ERNEST CANONGE and VICTOR GERODIAS; the weapons, shot-guns loaded with ball; the distance, forty paces. GERODIAS received his adversary's bail in the fleshy part of his leg, back of the knee, the ball passing through and grazing the front part of the right leg, and inflicting a wound which may render amputation necessary." An act was passed by the Louisiana State Legislature for his relief after he laid out $2,500 in personal funds to collect taxes. Act. 195, approved 30 Oct. 1868. He and his wife built a shotgun-style house at 2110 Dumaine in 1872, which she sold to John Beity in 1872 for $11,500. | Gerodias, Victor (I8222)
|
| 8455 | In 1859 Soard’s City Directory for the City Public Schools contains the following entry, including salaries: Hospital Street School - Miss M. D. Cooper, Principal, $900. Miss Chopard, First Assistant, 600?. Miss English, Second Assistnat, 480. Miss A. Desforges, Third Assistant, 360. Mrs. Furgeaud, Fourth Assistant, 360. Miss A. Morrison, Fifth Assistant, 360. Miss O. Pitard, Sixth Assistant, 360. This sister appears on the New Orleans Census for 1870 and 1900 as the head of the household, with her sisters Polymnia and Rosa. In 1872 she is at “3 Coliseum,” listed as a teacher at “Beauregard (girls) school.” In 1874, she apparently visited France; she travelled first class. Also in first class were a Paul and Henry Gelpi, and “Mrs. Princess de Yturbide” of Mexico, and “her chamber maid.” I cannot figure out clearly who if anyone she was travelling with. Name: Miss. Olivia Pitard (Unknown) Arrival Date: 09 Sep 1874 Age: 28 Gender: Female Port of Departure: Brest, France and Le Havre, France Destination: United States of America Place of Origin: United States of America Ship Name: Ville De Paris Port of Arrival: New York Line: 32 Microfilm Roll: 393 List Number: 984 In 1875 appears in this note in the Times-Picayune on 11 Sept. 1875, among a list of teachers whose assignments have been changed: "Beauregard School: Miss O. Pitard, First Assistant, transferred to Le Breton School." In 1876, she is listed in the NOLA city directory as the principal at LeBreton School, 196 Camp. On the 1900 census, they list mother’s birthplace as Puerto Rico. | Pitard, Olivia (I13652)
|
| 8456 | In 1860 he is HOH living with his mother (aged 41, as "Amanda,") and younger brother Norbert. There is also a "Mary," born in Missouri, aged 20, living with them, and a child "Mary", aged 1/12 (census was taken in July): was this a first wife? He seems to have been the first Pitard to start in the hardware business. In 1857, the city directory just shows one entry. 11 Rampart here is the employer's address; the last is the residence. This must be Arthur Pitard: Pitard, Archer . . . hardware . . . 11 Rampart, n New Basin . . . d. Franklin n. This is the first record of this occupation for the Pitards. The fullest picture of the family is on the 1880 census, but, oddly, Blanche does not appear there. In the 1881 City Directory he is living at 17 S. Derbigny, and is listed as a partner in In the hardware store, described as "‘Importers and Dealers in Hardware, Grates, Paints, Oils, Window Glass, Wall Paper, etc.,' at 207 Canal St. n. Rampart Street." In 1900 he is living right next to his daughter's household, and the census says that both of his parents were born in France. | Pitard, Arthur Sr. (I175)

| 8457 | In 1860 he is living in the household of his brother Arthur; no profession is listed. | Pitard, Norbert L. (I178)

| 8458 | In 1860 this family is listed in Point Coupee Parish; there is also an Adolph Tanneret (age 49) next door. He was a sugar planter. | Tanneret, Pierre Emile (I6396)
|
| 8459 | In 1860, Sarah E. Hyatt appears with his family in the census, and she was not there in 1850. It’s likely she’s his wife. There is also a 2-year-old Richard E Hyatt. | Hyatt, William W. (I15721)

|
| 8462 | In 1880, she is living in Mobile, AL in the household of Caleb Price with three of her siblings, her husband, and "Mary Maupay," aged 48. Could this be her mother Amanda? In 1896, her child Kenneth was born in New Orleans. Living with her in the 1940 census is Miriam Cambpell, aged 71, born in Pennsylvania, on the line to have had extra questions asked about her--but she apparently died right at the time, so they couldn't be asked. Is this her aunt Miriam? | Maupay, Ella Amanda (I14133)
|
| 8463 | In 1890, the family moved from Triadelphia in Montgomery Co. to a farm near Davidsonville in Montgomery Co. This was because of the 1889 flood (the same that flooded Johnstown, further upriver). His wife did not want to stay there any more. He died just after the move of Bright's disease. This left his wife with five children aged 10 and younger. For his will, his wife is listed as administratrix; Sureties are Richard H. Lansdale, Thomas S. Iglehart, Charles R. Hartshorne, and Thomas Welsh, MD. Bond was $1,000. | Lansdale, Thomas Franklin (I32)
|
| 8464 | In 1890-91, he is listed as working for the C&C street railroad as a clerk. His birth must be bef. 1869, because he his mother notes that he is saying "Papa," in a letter from June 1869 by his mother. A 1908 picture of "the BJ DeGranges" taken in June in Mobile has six children: Lea, Leonard, "BJ," George, Cecile, and Justin. According to the birth places of their children, they moved to Alabama between 1899 and 1902. | Degrange, Benjamin Jacques (I3466)
|
| 8465 | In 1900 he is living next to the household of his son William and William's wife Ida and son George. | Bassford, James H. (I7541)
|
| 8466 | In 1900 this family is living as boarders in the household of William H. Weedon and Elizabeth F. Deale; Elizabeth F. Deale is Elizabeth Deale Owens' aunt. | Owens, Elizabeth Deale (I5134)
|
| 8467 | In 1900 this family is living as boarders in the household of William H. Weedon and Elizabeth F. Deale; Elizabeth F. Deale is Elizabeth Deale Owens' aunt. | Perkins, Clarence Warrick Sr. (I6592)
|
| 8468 | In 1910 on the census, his job was as an "inspector" for (I think) California Fruit Co. He was employed by the Pacific Fruit Co. in Roseville, CA, in 1911 when John Lansdale Sr. met his sister, May Mannen. He was apparently a bit of a drinker, something which ran in his family. He lived with JL Sr. and May for a while, but drifted away. He never married. At his mother Sally Pollock's death, he was living in Oklahoma. See the attached affadavit for proof of his birthdate. | Mannen, Hal Lindsay (I68)
|
| 8469 | In 1910 she was living as HOH in Fairfax, Herndon Co., Virginia (Dranesville) with her sister "Nora," aged 49--I assume that this is Orra Lee (1910 Va. Miracode index). | Vansickler, Florence (I7763)
|
| 8470 | In 1910, his mother has had 7 children, 5 still living, so there are other siblings. | Centlivre, Louis J. (I15169)
|
| 8471 | 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. | Glascock, Mahlon (I7402)
|
| 8472 | In 1915, his family was living at 2015 Esplanade, since note in the Times-Picayune on 29 July 1915 says that their house at that address was robbed. In 1917, the note appears that "Mr. George Pitard and family are now occupying their new home, 526 North Olympia Street" (New Orleans States, 21 Dec. 1917, page 14). He worked in Pitard's Hardware until some time in the 1920s. After this, he moved to Chicago and got a job there in a hardware store, where he was promoted to management. He appears on the 1930 census in Chicago, aged 46, born in New Orleans. Both he and his wife are 46, and both were first married at age 31 (this is not the age of the most recent marriage). At his death in Chicago, he is described as "sales manager, hardware." 1. He was first married to Grace Feahney in New Orleans in 1905. Since she didn't die until 1944, there seems to have been a divorce, though I can't find a record of it. 2. In 1920, George Pitard is living in the 9th Ward of New Orleans with a wife Mary and a son named Robert. Who was Mary on the 1920 census? According to the 1930 census, she was married to Joseph Mayorga in abt. 1925; this name that comes from newspaper accounts of the family, as in this marriage notice on 22 Feb. 1942 in the Times-Picayune: The marriage of Dr. Shelby James Faget, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Edward B. Faget, to Mr. Robert John Pitard, son of Mrs. J. D. Mayorga and the late Mr. George Pitard, was celebrated Saturday Morning, February 14, at 11 o'clock at St. Rose de Lima church. . . . The bride was given away by her father. This matches George as "late," since he died in 1938 in Chicago. There are number of other records of the Faget / Mayorga / Pitard family. In the 1930 census, Joseph and Mary Mayorga are with children Charlotte, Loleta, and William (all immigrated in 1923), and Robert, born in Louisiana--this would be Robert J. Pitard. Also in the house is "father-in-law" William Burns, who would be Mary's father. 3. George Dunbar appears on the 1930 census in Chicago, aged 46, born in New Orleans, married to Beatrice. Both he and his wife are 46, and both say they were first married at age 31: this would mean in 1915, which is incorrect for Robert since he was married in 1905 to Grace. On 21 Sept. 1930 With his wife Beatrice, coming home from a trip to England a few months after being married, on the “Franconia” from Liverpool. They are living at 6337 S. Peoria St., Chicago. 4. Robert John Pitard lived 31 July 1909-June 1983. According to his birthdate, he would seem to be Grace Feahney Pitard's son, since in 1910, George is living with Grace in New Orleans. But he's not named in her obituary in 1944, so I don't think this is likely. Current theory, which is laid out below: George had a child, Robert, by Mary in 1909, when he was married to Grace. Then he left Grace--this presumably would have been grounds for divorce, even as Catholics--and lived with Mary until after 1920. Then, in the early 1920s he moved to Chicago and lived with Beatrice there, lying on the 1930 census about his age at his first marriage. (It's theoretically possible he was a bigamist, in the absence of divorce records, but I reckon it's more likely that I just can't find them.) Mary, meanwhile, got (re-?)married in about 1925, and combined her family with Jose Mayorga's. NOTE this possible confusion: there are other, unrelated George Pitards out there. There is a George Pitard, b. abt. 1847, the son of a Jacob Pitard who appears in the 1850 and later censuses for Ontario Twp., Knox Co., Illinois as born in England abt. 1815. In 1870, another George Pitard appears the same county as born in England abt. 1840, and is married to "Sarah." One looks at these and thinks that there is a confusion with George who married Beatrice born in England, but it's not so: George Dunbar was consistently born in New Orleans on the censuses. | Pitard, George Dunbar (I14271)
|
| 8473 | In 1917 he registered for the WW I draft, giving his address as 202 S. Pierce St. New Orleans; his job is a "buyer" for "G. Pitard and Sons." He claims an exemption for his wife and 2 children, for whom he's the sole support. In the 1920 census he was working at Pitard Hardware (on Canal St.). He registered for the WW2 draft in 1942. He's living at 202 S. Pierce St., aged 51. His closest relative is Mrs. Angela PItard. His employer is Stauffer Eshleman at 511 Canal St. | Pitard, Henry St. John (I145)
|
| 8474 | In 1917 he registered for the WWI draft, naming his current employer as "G. Pitard Sons," where he worked as "manager, sales department." Closest relation is wife Lucie. He was living at 5388 Perrier Place. He was still working there in the 1930 census. He was living with his father-in-law during the 1930 census as well. He registered for the WW2 draft in 1942. He was living at 5323 Coliseum St. He was working at "Home Finders [?] Service, 1600 Canal St." | Pitard, Clarence James (I142)
|
| 8475 | In 1919, after her husband’s death, she applied for a veteran’s headstone for her husband, whom she says fought as a private in the “Confederate Powers’ Regiment.” | Miller, Mollie S. (I15176)
|
| 8476 | In 1920 he is in the "Tony Lafore Orphan Asylum for Colored Boys," run by the Sisters of the Holy Family. I see no other DeGranges in the asylum who might be siblings. This should be the "Thomy Lafon" asylum. Henry may have also been in the military. He was apparently married, but had no children. He apparently moved to Chicago. He was buried, however, in New Orleans, at St. Roch, on May 3, 1982: I assume that this is the same Henry. According to a descendant of his brother Edward, "A cousin had a report produced some years ago that contained information from the Social Security Administration Death Records [SSN #707-05-2680]. This report shows Henry DeGrange with a birth data of 1/20/1910 and the date of death Apr 1982. This is very close to the date on the tomb and the discrepancy may be a matter of when the social security administration recorded the death. Henry was living in Michigan, but had visited Louisiana several times after his retirement, spending time with the family of George Leon. Another note of interest here is that Henry's SSN starts with a 707. According to the Social Security Administration state codes, SSN's that start with 700 - 728 were issued through the US RR Retirement Board." The DeGranges, beginning with Henry's grandfather Joseph, were involved with the railroad. | Degrange, Henry C. (I2863)
|
| 8477 | In 1929, she was a "tea girl" at a party for the unveiling of Helen McLellan's portrait by Helen Turner. Known as "Aunt Noni" to her nephew Jack McLellan. A picture of her in her dress appears in thhe Times-Picayune on 6 March 1938, with the caption "Mrs. Hughes Schneidau was, until her marriage the end of February, Miss Leonora McLellan, daughter of the last Mr. and Mrs. William Henry McLellan. The wedding claimed much interest in the social world here." | McLellan, Leonora (I87)
|
| 8478 | In 1930 he is “Kimber,” which is I assume his middle name. His Great-Aunt Regina Maupay married a man named William Henry Kimber. The 1940 census shows him as a laborer, with no spouse. He and his brother Joseph are buried in the same plot. | Maupay, Edward Kimber (I14139)
|

|
| 8483 | In 1952 his wife made an "Application for Headstone or Marker" for him as a military veteran; this says that he served as a private from Mississippi in the second half of 1898. This would be the time of the Spanish-American War. | Brasher, William Robert (I15015)

|
| 8494 | In her father’s probate files her name is Marie Josephine. In 1913 she applied for a Confederate pension in her husband's name. Censuses (1880, 1920) say her parents were both born in France. This may be correct, though they were married in Martinique. In the 1880 census, where she is living with her cousin "Oct. Courjol," clerk, and his wife "Em. Correjoles." Also living with them is Palmyre Cartier, 43, a teacher, no relation given. In the 1879 City Directory, Octave Correjoles, clerk, is living at 125 St. Philip. This is her sister Amelie Victoire’s family. In 1920, as "Emma Prados" she is the household of her nephew "Lean Raca," aged 56, and his wife Noemi, aged 45, their children, and Lean Raca's sister Jeanne Roux. | Icard, Marie Emma (I3086)

(See the Louisiana Histories page for the narrative).
