Errors/Corrections in/for the William Ames book by Chaplin

w1guu — 11 Nov 2006 3:42:13 GMT

This note/message string refers to the recent book "Descendants of William Ames of Braintree, Mass." by Ann Theopold Chaplin. Copyright 2004 by the New England Historic Genealogy Society. ISBN is 0-88082-182-5. It is currently available from “Picton Press” www.pictonpress.com The book is almost 800 pages, and is very well indexed.

This book is a very useful reference for those researching the William Ames (b 1605) line.

Any compilation of this type, no matter how well researched, is subject to errors, mistakes, controversial interpretations, and the discovery of additional source material.

I propose we, as the interested researchers of this line, consolidate our findings, and suggestions in a single message string. This one, if you will. I propose that we post replies to this top-level message keyed to the identified person in the Chaplin book. Thus:

This message
# 305 Delos Raymond Ames
Replies related only to #305. For example, if you disagree, or can provide additional supporting information.
# NNN next name
etc.

The proposed structure should help future users of this valuable text.

Regards,
Donald R. (Don) Ames

LaRue Ames Addition and Correction

audreydiener — 29 Sep 2008 6:29:31 GMT

I would like to add a Death Date and a Child to information on Page 536 under #485 LaRue Eugene Ames. I have verified by death certificate the date of birth and death for LaRue.
LaRue was born on September 16, 1872 in DuPage, Will County, Illinois and died on March 30, 1914 in St. Louis, Missouri. He was buried In Calvary Cemetery in St. Louis, Missouri.

Source: Cemetery Records
Source: Death Certificate
Source: Newspaper Obituary from St. Louis Post Dispatch

LaRue's name is spelled in his own handwritting on his marriage license and it is spelled LAROUE. I believe that is the correct spelling.
Source: His signature on Marriage License.

Also, the book does not mention his daughter, Hilda Ames. She is mentioned in the newspaper obituary in the St. Louis Post Dispatch and in his mother's obituary in the St. Louis Post Dispatch Newspaper.

Hilda Ames was born on October 23, 1899 to Laroue Ames and Laura E. Bolding.

Ames Family Locations

michaeloneil_28 — 8 Sep 2008 12:18:51 GMT

Have noticed a few messge boards from Vermont/Connecticut and was wondering if anyone is expert in Ames in the following locations or can they offer any suggestions:

1850 NYC Census
Norman Ames (25) - Seaman - Vermont
1860 NYC Census
Norman Ames (35) - Engineer - Connecticut
1870 NYC Census
Norman Ames (45) - Engineer - NY

This is definately the same person but did state boundaries change and does this person mean anything to anyone.

1st wife Ellen (????), 2nd wife Mary (Beechinor), Had a daughter Angela Hannah b1853 (married O'Neil 1873) and possibly a son Norman b1851.

Samuel Amess & Elizabeth Annison Married 26 Dec 1750 Barton Turf, Norfolk, England
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Samuel Amyes) is another spelling.

Someone just came to my tree and added a comment to a John Amess that I have in there. I originally had guessed at his birth being in 1772, but the comment has corrected that.

I would like more info.. here is the comment left on my tree. I am connected to this family, so if you can add more info to this comment, please contact me.
(*note that the first comment about his birth date, must be a typo, I have not been able to contact the person who left this comment, or I would ask them) Birth date should be more like 1752?? I think.

~quote~
John Amess was born c 1852 in Barton Turf Norfolk, his parents were Samuel and Elizabeth Annison. He joined the army discharged about 1803 to Scotland. He married Margaret Angus, there were two daughters before Samuel Elizabeth named after John's mother and Magdeline after Margaret's mother.
~end quote~~

Samuel's and Elizabeth's children were (ones I know so far):
john (as mentioned above), William, and James.

New London County Ames

jbpowers — 17 Oct 2007 1:04:55 GMT

Several years ago I posted an inquiry regarding Hubbel B. Ames from East Lyme Connecticut. Since then, I've located his death record on 22 April 1867 in East Lyme, age 64. I also found a Russel Ames who was born in Waterford but appears to have been the blacksmith in East Lyme. So, what's the connection? Russel Ames died in East Lyme on 2 May 1863. He was 74 years old. His estate paid a settlement to Hubble B. Ames, however at 13 years Hubbel's senior he is not old enought to be his father (brother/cousin?). Also included in the Russel Ames family records was a sheet of paper with the following list, yet no information offered as to the meaning:

April 7th 1828 - Ames, Moses ; Ames, Hubbel
April 2, 1832 - Ames, Lyman
April 4, 1836 - Ames, Enoch
April 3, 1837 - Ames, Daniel
April 2, 1838 - Ames, Jonas L; Ames, Benjamin G
April 1, 1839 - Ames, Marvin

Most of these individuals can be found in the 1830/1840 Census in either Waterford or East Lyme Connecticut. Can anyone think of a connection? Any assistance is appreciated greatly!

Norman, Mary and Hannah Ames NYC 1850-1800

michaeloneil_28 — 21 Jan 2008 1:38:46 GMT

I have the following references all from New York City. These are confirmed by other family connections - Dickers, O'Neil, Beechinor:

1850 Census 4th Ward:
Norman Ames (age 25) Seaman born Vermont
Mary Ames (age 19) born Ireland (maiden name Beechinor - marriage between 17th July 1848 and 30th July 1850)

1857 Directory:
Norman Ames Engineer 98 Monroe Street

1860 Census W7 3ED:
Norman Ames (age 32) Seaman born Connecticut
Mary Ames (age 29) born Ireland
Norman Ames (age 9) born NY
Hanna Ames (age 7) born NY

1870 Census (1st ennumeration) W7 2ED:
James Ames (age 40) Clerk born NY
Angela Ames (age 18) Clerk born NY

1870 Census (2nd ennumeration) W7 2ED 84 Madison Street:
Norman Ames (age 45) Engineer born NY
Mary Ames (age 40) born Ireland
Angela Ames (age 18) born NY

30th April 1873:
James O'Neil of 84 Madison Street marries Hannah Angela Ames at St Theresa's Church, Henry Street

21st February 1874:
James Edward O'Neil born at 96 Bergen Street Brooklyn
Father James O'Neil, mother Hannah Angela Ames

1877:
James O'Neil witnesses mothers will - address given as 438 or 484 East 13th Street (no reference to Hannah).

28th February 1880:
At brothers will James is listed as living in Akron Ohio (no reference to Hannah)

1880 Census:
James is living in Akron Ohio
James and Hannah's son James is living with Aunts at 113 East 12th Street attending school
There is no reference to Hannah Angela O'Neil anywhere, however at
244 East 72nd Street
Angela Ames (age 27) Servant born NY, father's birth Vermont, mother's birth Ireland
Presbyterian Hospital 71st Street
Mary Ames (age 47) born Ireland

Hannah's aunt was Catherine Beechinor (married 1st William Dickers, 2nd Patrick Carroll)
Hannah's 1st cousin was Joseph Dickers born 1853

So it appears that Norman Ames (junior) died between 1860 and 1870
Norman Ames (senior) died between 1870 and 1880
James O'Neil and Hannah appear to have separated in 1880
Hannah under name Ames is living near to her sick mother in 1880

Did Hannah remarry - there is no record of her death either in NY or Ohio as O'Neil or Ames?
Does the Norman Ames (senior) make any connections with yourselves (1840 census info is too scant for me to to make any definite conclusions as to earlier life and I have no other connections to cross-check by)?
Any ideas on discrepancies as to Norman's birthplace - all seem close.
James Ames in 1870 census - no ideas who he is.

Does this info mean anything or is any use to anyone?
Has anyone any info on Norman(s), Mary or Hannah?

Elias J D AMES, of Boston Massachusettes and Missouri

Eric Adler — 26 Mar 2001 2:57:05 GMT

I am looking for information on an Elias AMES that may have been born in Boston, MA. my records show that he was born Apr 25 1792 in Boston, MA, moved to Missouri around age 60, and married a 16 year old girl, Mary Ann Creed, on Mar 5 1852, in Osage, Missouri. I know his child [or one of them] was Ruben Wesley Ames, born Dec 13 1857 in St Aubert, Missouri.
Elias's middle initial is listed as D on LDS [in marriage record to Mary Ann], but a letter from his grand-daughter says it looked like Jerand, but her mother's handwriting was hard to read.

Ames connection to Lindner

CharlesSeevers74 — 23 Sep 2006 7:43:23 GMT

We are trying to find a connection of Thomas E Ames born about 1945 most likely in Pennsylvania to a Robert Mitchell Lindner. Robert wrote a book called the "Fifty Minute Hour" and another called "Rebel without a Cause" (yes, it is what the movie was based on). The relationship my thinks is there is that Robert may be the uncle of Thomas.

I know it isn't a lot of information... no dates no places but it is all we have at the moment.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ames/O'Neil New York City 1870-1880

Michael O'Neil — 7 Sep 2006 7:21:42 GMT

Am trying to find any possible relatives of an Angela/Amelia Ames.
For the 1870 New York City Census there is an Amelia Ames (born NY age 18) living at the same address as a James Ames (born Ireland age 40), clerk. He could have been a relative or her husband but no details given in 1870.

In addition there was my GG grandfather James Edward O'Neil and his family. An Angela Ames marries my great grandfather at St. Teresa's Church, Henry Street NYC on 30th April 1873 - coincidence?

By 1880 however Angela/Amelia no longer appears to be alive as their son (born NYC 1874) also James Edward is living with aunts at 113 East 12th Street and James senior is in Akron Ohio with brothers but no Angela/Amelia.

Does anybody think they are related in any way on the Ames side ? I would like to know what happened to Angela/Amelia. James O'Neil's cousins on the Ames side in 1915 included (Mrs Joseph) Hannon, a city alderman and (Mrs Patrick) Carroll.

Any contacts would be appreciated.

On a web-site I found listed some early marriage records of Windsor, VT (1764-1850) and there is this: Ames, Thomas, Jr. md. Hedge, Dorcas on 8 Feb 1813. He of Navy; She of Windsor. Can anyone tell me for sure who the parents of this Thomas Ames were and who were his children? It is a Thomas Ames from someplace in VT. that I am trying to track and there is no end of them to be found in VT at the time period I need. Am doing the old elimination process to see if any remain that might be mine who was born ca 1787 in VT; died about 1860-1870 in PA and married to a Harriet Havens. I have spent years trying to track one Thomas for whom I have not had a wife, coming out of the Thomas Ames/Molly Carver line - I have a 2" stack of information I have collected which, if he turns out not to be mine, I will glady sent to someone who is a descendant of this Thomas, son of Ames/Carver, for the cost of postage. What can someone tell me for sure about Thomas who md. Dorcas????

Hannah AMES b 9 May 1797 VT

laurieskeller — 19 May 2006 10:23:34 GMT

I am looking for any information regarding my great great grandmother Hannah AMES. All I know is that she was born 9 May 1797 (from death certificate) in Vermont (from death certificate and census info). She married David SMITH (b 1781 NY) and at some point they moved to Ohio. Their oldest (known) child was Reason SMITH born March 1823 in Wooster, Wayne Co., OH, but the family continued moving west, and youngest child (my great grandfather) Charles T. SMITH was born 22 Jan 1840 on family farm in York Township, Sandusky Co., OH, where the family had settled in 1833. Hannah died 16 Jun 1851 on family farm.

It is possible that allied families may be named BRACE (BRACEY) or PARRISH, and boys' names Kellogg and Courtland recur in the family.

Any help would be most gratefully received -- this is a real brick wall for me.
