Re: Genealogy of the Breck Family

bTostevin — 2005-11-05 19:58:31Z

Bob, I have a copy of Samuel Breck's "Genealogy of the Breck Family." The book is about the line of Edward of Dorchester, MA 1635. It is includes notes on the Brecks in England. It is very detailed as to the American Brecks but ends when it was written in 1889.

If you can send me more information about the parents of James William Breck, or as in Alta California, William Anthony Breck, born on 20 Oct. 1800, I am sure they are in the book and I will look them up for you. I did not find a reference to your James William or William Anthony. Much of the Breck genealogy on the web is from this book. Your ancestor was involved in a very interesting time in California history.

Edward Y Breck & family

NCSieck — 2003-04-04 22:10:33Z

On the 1930 census of Aliquippa, Beaver Co., PA, I find a 49-year-old widow, Catherine Breck. Listed with her is a son Allen Y., age 18. Research suggests that she is the widow and he is the son of Edward Y. Breck who died 16 Feb 1919. Edward's wife was Irene Ida Katharine Stutz who was born 25 Aug 1874 in DC and according to family sources died 1 Aug 1945. I find a Allen Y. Breck born 29 Dec 1911 who died 6 Aug 1996 on the Social Security Death Benefit Index which "fits" what little data I have pertainaing to Allen Yales Breck. I would like to hear from descendants of these people as they belong in a genealogy I am compiling consisting of all the descedants of Irene's immigrant grandfather.

Genealogy of the Breck Family

2000-06-07 00:20:13Z

Hello, I am a descendant of Edward Breck, born in 1574, England, his son, also Edward became an Indentured Servant who managed to arrive in Dorchester (Boston), MA prior to 1636. He was a freeman in 1636, a townsman and held office until he died. In my line, there are mostly Edwards, but a John and his grandson, a Jonathan Breck, born in Dorchester. Either James William Breck, or as in Alta California, William Anthony Breck, born on 20 Oct. 1800, traveled to Santa Barbara, Hawaii, China via the Horn in 1829. In 1846, he married a Francisca Antonia de Ortega, and raised a family in Santa Barbara, California. He also made a mistake, he fought with LTC Fremont in the California Battalion as an officer, and a gunsmith. I know very little of the activities of the Brecks after 1829, and any possible relatives to date. How much information is in the Book on the Brecks and what areas of the US does it cover and how far back. Bob Smith of Los Angeles.
