Le Montage de Famille

1810-1819

The decade beginning 1810 finds some of the known vector families living in Europe, i.e., Page, Garrett, Lindstrom and Westurlund.

In England:

• Page:  William Henry Page married Martha Hudson or Sanders, and at least one of their children was born during this decade.

In USA: 

• Keyes:  The Keyes family was in East Bloomfield, Ontario County, New York. Lyman Keyes, son of Henry and Elizabeth (Olds) Keyes, married Hannah Francis. They had the first three of their children. Lyman was called up during the War of 1812, into Lt. Col. Samuel Blakeslee's Regiment, New York State Volunteer Militia, but only had to serve 15 days. Some family members including Lyman’s father Henry and brothers Charles and Nathaniel died of “epidemic fever.”
• Shook:  The Shooks were in Pennsylvania, presumably in the Berks and/or Northumberland counties area. The remainder except for the last one of Phillip and Mary’s children were born during this decade.
• Castner:  The Castners were in Morris County, New Jersey. William Castner’s future wife Sarah Welter, daughter of Adam and Margaret (Schenkel) Welter, was born in Morris County during this decade.
• Hood:  The Hoods were in the Romulus/Fayette area of Seneca County, New York. It is probable that James Hood’s mother Jane died during this decade. James was placed under the guardianship of John Williams. Also, James carried out his carpentry apprenticeship.
• Bliss:  The Bliss family was in Pownal, Bennington County, Vermont, and then moved to Broome, Schoharie County, New York, mid-decade.
• Shaw:  The Shaw family was either in Rhode Island or New York. Clara Ann Hoke, future wife of John Shaw of Rhode Island, was born during this decade in Middlefield, Otsego County, New York.
• Rice:  The Rice family was probably in New York.
• Barnes:  The Aaron and Martha Barnes family began the decade in Sharon, Litchfield County, Connecticut, where all seven of their children would be born, the last one early in this decade. The family then moved to Aurelius/Mentz, Cayuga County, New York, in 1816, perhaps inspired by 1816 being “the year without summer.” The stratosphere was laden with sun-blocking debris from the catastrophic eruption of Mt. Tamboro the previous year. Connecticut was one of the seaboard areas hardest hit.
• Tuttle:  The Tuttle family was probably in New York.
