John LAMBRECHT (1839, Jefferson Co., NY - 1913, WI)

MarilynRoth58 — 2009-11-01 19:26:00Z

I'm trying to determine the ancestry of the Joseph LAMBRECHT family.

Farmington, Washington Co., WI, 1850, LAMBRIGHT:
Joseph, 49, & Magdalen, 35, both b. Germany
Ch. b. NY: Catherine, 12; John, 11; Joseph, 9; Michael, 5
Ch. b. WI: Hannah, 3, & Jacob, 0.

Farmington, 1860
LEMBRECHT: Joseph, 19, & Michiel, 14, both b. NY.
B. WI: Hannah, Andrew, & Jacob, in the household of
Christopher, 40, & Mary, 44, BROBST.

The most specific reference to New York is that FindaGrave says that John LAMBRECHT was b. 14 Sep. 1839, Jefferson Co., NY.

The "1930 census" site shows in 1840, Jefferson Co., NY, Joseph LAMBIRK. There are many variant spellings. I believe they were Catholic. Does anyone know where Catholic records would be for births in the 1838 - 1845 time span? Are there any databases for people tho only spent about a decade in Jefferson County in that era?

Josephine LoTempio Lanni & Children

lotempioc — 2009-10-30 18:28:50Z

My Great Aunt, Josephine LoTempio Lanni was murdered on 12/12/1928 in Watertown NY by Frank Ferrante Pronio. He was found guilty and was sentenced to die by electric chair in 1929.

I have found out some information about her six children, but I wanted to find out more and wanted confirmation on some of what I did find.

Her children are:

August 1917

Frank 1919

Adele 1923

Reynold 1921

Edward 1925

Joseph 1926

Edward was called Coco. Edward and Joseph were Frank's children. I do not know what happened to either of them after Josphine and Frank died.

I know that August and Reynold were taken in by George and Myrtya DeKing according to a 1930 census. At that time the DeKing's had a daughter, Barbara R DeKing.

I don’t know when, but the DeKing’s moved to Michigan, where George was from. George’s parents were Neal and Munir. His siblings were; Edward, Alfred, Emil and Cora.

I would like to know more information my Great Aunt's murder and about what happened to the Lanni children after their mother’s death.

I would welcome any help.

Thank you.

Alney Rd became Olney Rd., the road that connects Olney and Farrell is now called Barnes Settlement Rd.
I could run up this week and see if I can find the stones and snap you some pitures?

Re: Barnes Settlement

glovetown — 2009-10-25 21:28:08Z

Hi Laura,

On my map, I see the Farrell Road, the Alney Road, but no BSR. Alney (as it is written on the map) and Farrel split off the No. 6 Road; then they both meet up with the Center Road. Perhaps it is even too small for the New York Gazetteer. Anyways, I have some relatives buried there ...and although there are transcriptions of markers (on Genweb, I think), I actually think one may be wrong. My relative is Elizabeth Peck (married name, 1805-1873). She was married to Alexander Peck , but the list has her as Elizabeth (Zeller) Peck. My belief is that she is Hollet, not Zeller. Time may have destroyed the writing.

I am actually just a person who loves maps, and I like to try to find the places my ancestors lived in. Thanks for responding, at least I have an idea. My other people are Northups (Daniel, maybe John, maybe Eldridge) and perhaps a John Hollet.

Re: Barnes Settlement

LauraDonohue46 — 2009-10-25 20:33:28Z

It is on Barnes Settlement Rd, approximately half way between the intersection of BSR & Olney Rd and BSR and Farrell Rd. It is around the corner from my parents, what do you need looked up?

Re: Lucretia Wheeler Flansburgh Divers of Theresa/Lafargeville mentioned in 1977 article

RDCalhounEagan — 2009-10-24 17:35:02Z

Undated newspaper clipping at Theresa Free Library, Flansburgh family file---

LAFARGEVILLE GIRL ARMY SURGEON'S WIFE

MARRIAGE OF LIEUT. DOUGLAS S. DIVERS, VIRGINIA, AND MISS LUCRETIA FLANSBURG

Lafargeville, July 3.---At 9 Wednesday morning at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Flansburgh, occurred the marriage of their daughter, Lucretia, to Lieut. Douglas Shelburne Divers, medical corps of Rocky Mount, Virginia. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Theofore Haydn, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church at Oxford, N. Y. Miss Flansburgh, who was unattended, was given in marriage by her father. Frs. F. Edna Rice of Watertown played the wedding march. The bride wore a white georgette crepe gown and carried a shower bouquet of brides roses.

After the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served to about 20 guests.

Mrs. Divers is a graduate of Syracuse University, class of 1918, and a member of Alpha Chi Omega and Iota Tau sororities. For five months she was a member of the Army School for Nurses at Camp Jackson, Columbia, S. C.

Lieut. Divers, medical corps, is a graduate of Folk Union Military academy and the Medical College of Virginia, where he received the degree of M. D. in the class of 1917. He is a member of Omega Upsilon Phi and Theta Nu Epsilon fraternities. After graduation he served as an intern at Lewis-Gale hospital at Roanoke, Virginia, until he received his commission, and was sent to Camp Jackson. At present he is located at U. S. A. General Hospital 24, at Pittsburgh, Pa.

The couple left at noon for Buffalo and the west. The bride's traveling suit was dark blue with hat to match. After the wedding trip they will make their home temporarily at Pittsburgh. After his release from service the groom expects to practice his profession at Roanoke, Virginia.

The out-of-town guests included Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Taylor and the Misses Margaret and Mary Bush of Syracuse, Mrs. F. Edna Rice and Miss Ruth Branigan of Watertown, Miss Elma Nau of Honeoye Falls, and Mr. and Mrs. Leland L. Robinson of Utica.

NOTE: Lucretia Flansburgh was adopted by the Flansburgh family. Her birth parents were George A. Wheeler and Sarah P. Babcock. She was orphaned at about age 12.

Alpheus Nichols & his son Hiram Nichols (by 1st wife?)

hubherby — 2009-09-22 21:22:17Z

This inquiry is posted in both St Lawrence County and Jefferson County
I am seeking reliable documentation (like birth record or death record)
that this Hiram was the son of this Alpheus Nichols

(for historical perspective) ...
A Knapp genealogy documents Alpheus' marriage to Florella Knapp and
lists children (not including Hiram)

We have a birth record for an Alpheus Nichols, December 11, 1780, in Framingham,
Middlesex,Mass to Lt. Joseph and Sarah Nichols
There are the following census entries ...
Alphear Nicholas Rodman, Jefferson, New York 1810
Alphus Nichols Rodman, Jefferson, New York 1820
Alpheus Nichols Rodman, Jefferson, New York 1840
Alpheus Nickolds Rodman, Jefferson, New York 1850 (born 1781 in Massachusetts)
(with Florella born 1789 Connecticut)
Alphus Nickols Rodman, Jefferson, NY 1860 born abt 1781 Massachusetts
(with Florella born abt 1787 in Connecticut)

We believe the boy in the birth record is the man in the censuses.

There is an on-line genealogy published 1905, which identifies an additional child (Hiram)
for an "Alphonse" (in all other respects identical) who is not among the children listed
in the Knapp genealogy. His birth is given as October 27, 1808 and death is given as
August 23, 1899 Gouverneur

This Hiram Nichols is found in the 1850, 1860, 1870 & 1880 censuses of Gouverneur, Saint Lawrence, NY
(with an "Abra" also listed 1850,60,70)

What we have found so far ...
An _unsourced_ record in LDS (www.familysearch.org) that an Alpheus Nichols had
wife Rebecca Kinney and that this couple had a son Hiram born born 27 OCT 1808
Rodman, Jefferson, New York who married "Alva" Gardener in Rochester in 1834

Grateful for any and all help.

Hello Mary,

I saw a post on the ancestry site from 2004.

Not sure if this helps. My great-great grandfather had a son (his oldest) Hiram. He was born in the 1850's. When he came of age he moved out to Ohio. Possibly to be near an uncle Sidney Sherman. He died in the 1880's and was buried in Brockville Ont.

The family lived on in both Ny state and ont.. I am looking for his grandparents. His paretns were Allan (or William Allan) and CHloe (nee Sherman) Bowers.

Hope this helps,

It wasn't until his father (Stanley Foster Clintsman) died in 1989, that Clark found out his mother was still alive. If you have any information to share about her side of the family, I would greatly appreciate it. My dad really didn't talk too much about his family.
