Dwight T. Cortelyou and Florence R. Fry Wisconsin

melissachiatt — 2009-07-09 21:31:38Z

Is anybody working on this line? I am really interested in the lineage of Florence R. Fry. She was the daughter to Rome Joyce Fry and Amelia Walthart Fry. I am especially interested in the Walthart line which connects to my family in the Grant Co.,WI area.
In the Cortelyou Genealogy book by John Van Zandt Cortleyou it states that Florence is the daughter to an "Amitia".
I believe this is supposed to be Amelia.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Please feel free to email me directly.

Cortelyou Book /Stanley/Crowley

I've been told that in the Cortelyou Genealogy book that "Jane Head Crowley" is mentioned on page 197 & 277. My Great Great-Grandmother was named Jane Head Crowley married to John William Stanley, both of New York. She was the youngest of four children. Their daugher Annie Maria Stanley married James Reynolds Pigman.

If anyone has the names of their parents, date of birth, death, marriage, children's names, where they were born, etc. And a brief explaination how Jane is connected to the Cortelyou's would greatly apprechiated.

Elizabeth, Sorry but I do not have anything on your James Dorset, however there is mention of a Genealogy of Dorset(t) Family of Monmouth County, NJ in "Historical and Gen. Miscellany, Stillwell, vol.3.. At the moment I do know know where you might find this publication by you might try typing in Cornell University.com and go to their library. It is quite fabulous. Hope this helps.

Ellen,

Do you have anything on James Dorset, born circa 1785, who married Matilda Wilmurt in New York City in 1818 and died there before 1835? They had three children, one of whom was my ancestor, Mary Melvina Dorset. I would appreciate any leads at all -- I'm just stuck on this one.

Thanks!

Elizabeth

Florence Fry Cortleyou was my great grandmother. She died in 1898, in Reedsburg WI, aged 28 from TB (consumption). (I am looking for her burial place, I found a lot of Fry's in Grant Co. cemetary, but not her). My grandmother, Edna Mae Cortleyou was only 1 yrs. when her mother died. So there aren't a lot of family stories about her. I do however, have a couple of letters her boyfriend wrote to her, before she married Dwight. Anyway...Florence had a sister, Minnie A. who was born in 1875, and two brothers - Burton born in 1877 and Lewis born in 1879 (all dates are +/- a year). All I know about Amelia (yes, I agree, Amitia is a mis-spelling of Amelia)is that her mother was born in New York, and her father (Mr. Walthart) was born in Switzerland.
That's all I know, hope it helped a bit. I have a great photo of Florence, with her three children, dated 1887. If you know anymore about the Fry's, I would appreciate any info also.
Cheers!
Cindy

By a strange coincidence, I am more or less doing the same thing! Email me, stev@swbell.net and lets compare notes on Hollis Cortelyou.
