Le Montage de Famille
1820-1829
The decade beginning 1820 finds some of the known vector families
living in Europe, i.e., Page, Garrett, Lindstrom and Westurlund.
In Ireland:
- Garrett: Hugh and Mary (Williams) Garrett, both of
Scottish birth, probably lived in Ireland during all or most of this
decade. A Hugh Garrett was notated as living in County Down, Parish of Annahilt
and town of Cluntagh, near decade’s end. (County Down is part of historic
Ulster and is included in today’s country of Northern Ireland.)
In USA:
- Keyes: The Keyes family was in East Bloomfield,
Ontario County, New York. Lyman and Hannah Keyes moved their family to Cambria,
Niagara County, New York, mid-decade, and had the remainder of their
children including Orlando. Orlando’s future wife Lucinda Shook, daughter
of Johnathan “Jonas” and Annah (LaRoche) Shook, was also born during this
decade. Lyman died of tuberculosis.
- Shook: The Shooks were in Pennsylvania, presumably
in the Berks and/or Northumberland counties area. Phillip and Mary had
their last child and Mary died the same year. Phillip remarried to Hannah
Lily, believed by some to have been a sister of Mary’s, and the family
moved to Lockport, Niagara County, New York. Hannah gave birth to the
first of their children. Johnathan “Jonas” Shook married Annah LaRoche and
they settled in Cambria, Niagara County, New York. They had the first two
of their children including Lucinda, future wife or Orlando Keyes.
- Castner: The Castners were in Morris County, New
Jersey.
- Hood: The Hoods were in the Romulus/Fayette area
of Seneca County, New York. James married Catharine McNelly, daughter of
John and Isabella (Duncan) McNelly, in Seneca County, and the couple
settled in Pulteney, Steuben County, New York. They had the first two of
their children.
- Bliss: The Bliss family was in Broome,
Schoharie County, New York. Calvin Hall Bliss married Seraph H. Bothwell
near the end of the decade. They initially settled in Oneida, Madison County,
New York
- Shaw: The Shaw family was in New York. John Shaw
married Clara Ann Hoke in Middlefield, Otsego County, New York.
- Rice: Paul V. Rice of Massachusetts and Sophia Lambertson
of New York were married. Firstborn Benjamin R. Rice, future husband of Hestor
A. Knight and Mary Knight, was born in Massachusetts. The second child was
born in New York.
- Barnes: The Barnes family was in Aurelius/Mentz,
Cayuga County, New York. Aaron died, and it is said that Martha remarried
to a Mr. Treat. Aaron and Martha’s seven children got married and most soon
moved away from the area except for the last two: Sarah and Sephronia.
Sarah married Hampton Dexter Granger and they remained in the area until
moving to Ingham County, Michigan, in the mid-1840s, where Sarah soon died.
Sephronia married Chester Crandall and soon died. Thomas Barnes married
Sarah Sittser, daughter of David and Sarah (Mills) Sittser. They had the
first two of their children at Mentz and the next two in Wayne County, New
York. One of the Mentz children was David, future husband of Mary W. Hood,
daughter of James and Catharine (McNelly) Hood.
- Tuttle: The Tuttle family was probably either in
New York or Michigan.
- Page: The family arrived in America from England in
1829, initially settling in Wayne County, probably near Macedon. William
Henry and Martha (Hudson or Sanders) Page brought at least four children with
them.
