Thoughts on Genealogy

Genealogy: Tracing yourself back to better people
I trace family history so I'll know who to blame
Can a first cousin, once removed, return?
Searching for lost relatives? Win the lotto!!
Genealogy: Where you confuse the dead and irritate the living.
Every family tree has some sap in it.
Friends come and go, but relatives tend to accumulate.
Heredity: Everyone believes in it until their children act like fools.

Russell & Cynthia Lathrop

Looking for information on their children:

A daughter born between 1816-1820 in VT, she is listed on the 1820 census and in a Richford, Franklin Co., VT court record. Russell Lathrop lived in Mill School District and had 2 scholars between the ages of 4 and 18. The other would be his son Henry. Did this girl live to adulthood? Did she marry in VT or Canada before the family migrated to IN? If she did marry, did she move to IN and then on to IL?

Marvin b. 1829 in VT was with the family in Ripley Co. IN in 1840 and witnessed deeds for his brother Levi in Richland Co., IL in 1852. What happened to him?

Erkman / Probst

Jacob Erkman b. 17 March 1807 Darmstadt, Germany, d. 14 October 1875, White Co. IL. Married in Germany Catherine Warner.

Catherine b. 1807 Germany, d. 4 Feb. 1878 in White Co. IL.

They immigrated to US with children, stopping in Holmes Co. OH, Posey Co. IN and then White Co. IL. They divorced. Who were their parents? What part of Germany did they live in?

Their son Jacob Jr. b. 5 May 1835 Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, d. 13 Aug. 1908 White Co. IL.
He married 1) Eva Magdalena Beckendahl and 2) Fredericka Probst, 27 April 1876 in Posey Co. IN. Fredericka Propst md. 1) Michael Dietz in Posey Co. IN. There is an error on the marriage certificate due to misunderstanding of interpreter. They used her sister's name, Louisa.

Fredericka Probst b. 30 July 1845 Prussia, d. 31 May 1913. Probable parents are Andrew and Sophia ? Probst. Andrew b. 1829 Prussia, d? Sophia ? b. 1820 Prussia, d?

Miller / Crissel

Michael Miller lived in Lincoln Co. NC. His daughter Mary md. Andrew Crissel Sr.

Any ideas about Michael's parents? His wife? Andrew's parents?

More than likely, Michael was of German descent and probably a migrant from the Pennsylvania area.

Saltzman / Hopkins

Peter Saltzman / Salsman b. KY, d. MO. Lived in Grayson Co. KY. Who did he marry?

He had a daughter Susannah b. ? d. 1880 Middleton [dead town], Wayne Co. IL. She married 1) John Hopkins b. ? d. 1834 Hamilton Co. IL. She md. 2) Samuel Bradford. She's buried in Farnsworth / Mt. Zion Cemetery in Wayne Co. IL.

Parrish / Perry

Edward Parrish b. 1753 - 1762 NC, d. 25 Jan. 1843 Putnam Co. IN, md. ca. 1788/89 Susan ? Family seems to have lived around Warren County, NC. They moved with their family to Rowan Co. NC before leaving for Indiana.

Their son Ezekiel Parrish b. ca. 1786 in Rowan Co. NC, d. 1829 Putnam Co. IN, md. Temperance Perry in NC. Temperance is found living with her son Ezekiel in Illinois. Temperance is said to have been the daughter of Jeremiah "Redhead" Perry, but I cannot find proof of this. This is the Perry family that lived at Cascine near Louisberg in Franklin Co. NC.

Stephen Gentle b. 1710, d? md. Sarah ? living in Maryland

Draper / Breeden

Looking for the parents of Thomas Draper and his wife Priscilla (maybe Druscilla) Breeden. They were married 4 Aug. 1780 in Botetourt Co. VA. They were probably born about 1760 or so.

At that time Botetourt took in other counties too, so I'm not sure where they lived. Can't find any evidence that they stayed in the county or were from there. There are some Drapers in the 1790 census up in Shenandoah County.

Elkanah Lathrop

b. November 9, 1754 in Norwich CT, son of Ezra and Charity (Perkins) Lathrop. He wandered off to northern Vermont and has hiding out ever since. I have found some records about him in Richford, Vermont. His son Russell and his daughter got married there to members of the Janes family. I believe Elkanah ended up living in Canada. I have no idea who he married or how many times he married. Anybody got any ideas?

Welcome

Hello,
Welcome to my blog. I'm going to attempt to post information regarding dead people I'm looking for and some I've actually found.

Remember, there's only one question in genealogy: "Who are the parents?"
