Le Montage de Famille

1830-1839

The decade beginning 1830 finds some of the known vector families living in Europe, i.e., Garrett, Lindstrom and Westurlund.

In Ireland, Canada, and USA:

Garrett: The Garretts probably lived in Ireland during all or most of this decade. Hugh and Mary (Williams) Garrett were living in Ireland when their son Hugh was born near this decade’s beginning. His future first wife Mary Elizabeth Thurlow was born a year later in North Crosby Township, Leeds County, Johnstown District, Upper Canada. His future second wife Mary Cordelia Chamberlain was born in Michigan, USA, at decade’s end. During this decade a Hugh Garrett was notated as living in County Down, Parish of Comber, town of Tullygarvan; also, same county, Parish of Saintfield, town of Ballyknockan.

In USA:

Keyes: The Keyes family was in Cambria, Niagara County, New York. Mid-decade the widow Hannah Keyes bought 80 acres of land in the east one-half of the northeast one-quarter of Section 17 in Climax Township, Kalamazoo County, Michigan. She moved some of her family to Climax Township, where she taught classes at her residence until a proper school was built. At the end of the decade she married George Fletcher and they settled in Prairie Ronde, Kalamazoo County, Michigan.
Shook: The Shooks were in Lockport and Cambria, Niagara County, New York. In Lockport, Phillip and Hannah had the last two of their children. Their house was used as a meeting place to start the area's German Lutheran and Reformed Church, of which Phillip became an elder. (The church became the Evangelical Lutheran Church.) In Cambria, Jonas and Annah “Fanny” Shook had four more of their children.
Castner: The Castners were in Morris County, New Jersey. William Castner and Sarah Welter, daughter of Adam and Margaret (Schenkel) Welter, were married at Schooley's Mountain, Morris County, by Holloway Whitfield Hunt, Minister of the Gospel. They had the first of their children. Then the family moved to Milo, Yates County, New York, and had two more children during this decade.
Hood: The Hoods were in Pulteney, Steuben County, New York. They had three more children before settling at Novi, Oakland County, Michigan, mid-decade. One of these was Mary W. Hood, born in Portland, Chautauqua County, and future wife of David Barnes, son of Thomas and Sarah (Sittser) Barnes. In Michigan they had two more children during this decade.
Bliss: The Bliss family was in Oneida, Madison County, New York. Calvin and Seraph Bliss had their first two children in Oneida and two more after moving to a 200-acre farm four miles northeast of Clyde, Wayne County, New York, a little less than mid-decade. One of the children was Sidney E. Bliss, future husband of Helen M. Hubbard, daughter of Adam F. and Mary (McClean) Hubbard of Cayuga and Wayne counties.
Shaw: The Shaw family was in New York, probably in Otsego County. John and Clara Ann Shaw had at least two children during this decade, including son James Ransler Shaw, future husband of Elizabeth Watts. Elizabeth was also born this decade, daughter of Oscar and Clara Watts of Ogdensburg, St. Lawrence County, New York.
Rice: Another child was born in New York before Paul V and Sophia Rice moved the family to Michigan. Three children were born in Michigan during this decade—at least the first of these was reported as born in Wayne County. Hester A. Knight, future first wife of Benjamin R. Rice, is born in Michigan.
Barnes: The Barnes family was in Wayne County, New York. Thomas and Sarah Barnes had the last three of their children. The family moved a number of times, including to Butler and Rose, all in Wayne County. They may have already moved to Seneca Falls, Seneca County, New York, by the end of the decade.
Tuttle: Daniel Tuttle and Julia Ann Peterson were married early this decade and living in Dexter Township, Washtenaw County, Michigan. Their son Moses Smith Tuttle, future husband of Rebecca E. Millman, was born at Dexter.
Page: The Page family continued in the Wayne County area. Martha Page died at the start of the decade. Two years later the widower William married the widow Chloe (Thayer) Robinson, daughter of William and Chloe (Preston) Thayer and widow of James Robinson. Both of the children William and Chloe had together were born at Macedon in Wayne County, New York, including William Henry Page, Jr. and Riley Preston Page. Riley would be the future husband of Elizabeth Hollenbeck of New York and Michigan, first husband of Sarah M. Keyes of Michigan, and second husband of Emily “Emma” Conant of New York.
