Le Montage de Famille

1800-1809

The decade beginning 1800 finds some of the known vector families living in Europe, i.e., Page, Garrett, Lindstrom, and Westurlund.

In USA:

Keyes: The Keyes family was in East Bloomfield, Ontario County, New York.
Shook: The Shooks were in Pennsylvania, presumably in the Berks and/or Northumberland counties area. Phillip Shook married Mary Lilly. The first four of their seven children were born during this decade, including: Joseph, Catherine, Johnathan “Jonas,” and Magdalene. Jonas's future wife Annah LaRoche was also born during this period in Pennsylvania.
Castner: The Castners were in Morris County, New Jersey. William Cassner/Castner, future husband of Sarah Welter, was born during this decade. William’s father’s name may have been John.
Hood: The Hoods were in Romulus/Fayette, Cayuga County, New York (an area that became part of Seneca County in 1804). James Hood’s father Robert died, and James’ future wife Catharine McNelly, daughter of John and Isabella (Duncan) McNelly, was born in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. Isabella, a daughter of William and Mary (Wilson) Duncan and a niece of Alexander Wilson the Ornithologist of Philadelphia, had arrived from Scotland in 1797. John had landed from Ireland in 1798 and would die a soldier of the 22^nd United States Infantry during the War of 1812 a.k.a. the Old War. Some or all of the Hood brothers—sons of the late John Hood—bought a large tract of land and made many improvements, including constructing buildings, roads and bridges.
Bliss: The Samuel and Anna (Mason) Bliss family began the decade in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, and then moved to Galway, Saratoga County, New York Later the Bliss family moved to Pownal, Bennington County, Vermont. The last of their children were born during this decade, including Calvin Hall, Barnum, Susan, and Nathaniel Franklin. Calvin’s future wife Seraph H. Bothwell was also born this decade, at Gilboa, Schoharie County, New York.
Hubbart/Hubbard: Thomas and Silence Hubbart began the decade at Newport, Herkimer County, New York, with the birth of Polly, their fifth child. They would have three more before decade’s end: John, Ruth and Ann.

Polly, Mrs. Rodman Gardner Vincent, joined the Fort Stanwix Chapter of the D.A.R. in 1896 when she was 96 years old. She was believed to be the only actual daughter of an American Revolution soldier to be a charter member of a National D.A.R. Chapter. It was in 1896 that Mrs. William H. Bright, Miss Phoebe Stryker, and Mrs. James Searles formed the Fort Stanwix Chapter in Rome, Oneida County, New York. In 1932 Polly’s grave at Russia, Herkimer County, New York received a bronze tablet from the Fort Stanwix Chapter commemorating her unique charter membership.
