Re: Dinsmore John or Mary

Onita62 — 2012-01-14 03:56:17Z

Hi Dolores, I think it is another family. I have a John the son and a Mary-mother and daughter-they came to the US and settled in Hoboken, NJ. They are related to Richard Densmer-who died in Naas, Ire in 1849 and his wife Anna Mary Giltrap- co. Wicklow-who brought the children to the US-maybe by way of Canada-the oldest daughter Anna "Maria" married Wm Early Oldfield and had her first two children there. The name is misspelled in the 1860 census as Densmore. Later info says they came over around 1852-I haven't been able to find the arrival.

Onita:

I saw your post and decided to give you a shout out. I have been trying to track a family of Dinsmore's - John & Mary from County Donegal. According to their daughter's, Mary J Death Certificate - John was from Co. Donegal and Mary was from Glencovet, Drumhome, Donegal. John & Mary would have been born early 1800's.

The daughter, Mary J arrived in the US around mid 1850's and married and settled in So NJ.

Please let me know if any of this info matches.

Thanks,
Dolores

Mary Elizabeth Dinsmore m. Norman Thomas Sandborn

bmdepas — 2012-01-07 22:24:53Z

I am searching for the family of Mary Elizabeth Dinsmore, the first wife of Norman Thomas Sanborn/Sandborn.

She was born 01 March 1842, location unknown - likely Ionia County, Michigan or Allen Co, New York.

She married Norman Thomas Sandborn (b. 28 Jan 1841, Allen Co, NY) on 01 March 1859, presumably in Ionia County, Michigan. It is also possible that they married in New York.

She died on 12 November 1862 at the age of 20 in Michigan. She is buried in the Portland Cemetery, Portland, Ionia Co, Michigan.

I have no further information. I am unable to locate any birth, death, or marriage records for Mary Elizabeth.

Please let me know if you have any information that might help me in my search. Your help is greatly appreciated! I will reciprocate with any information that I have which you might be looking for.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Don't know if we have spoken. I was just able to trace the Densmer's back to Ireland. The name is spelled differently on every census. I am descended from Sarah Jane. Happy to share. Onita

Re: dinsmore, Greenfield MA

Onita62 — 2012-01-07 19:10:52Z

My gr,gr grandparents were George Dewey-married to Sarah Jane Densmer-her brother, I can't find her brother, John, who may have spelled his name Dinsmore-any chance he is a member of your family?

Re: Dinsmore John or Mary or Ellen or Ruth

Onita62 — 2012-01-07 19:00:31Z

Hi Marie. Your post is old-you may have all the info you need. I am descended from a sister of theirs, Sarah Jane Densmer-spelled this way in Ireland and spelled differently on every US census. With the help of other members of the family, I have very recently been able to trace them back to Ireland. Who are you descended from?

Let me know if you are still interested.

Re: Dinsmore New York, Ireland

Onita62 — 2012-01-07 18:42:49Z

Hi. I can't tell from your post if I already know you. I am descended from Pamela Eliza' sister, Sarah Jane Densmer. I have recently been able to trace the family back one more generation in Ireland. There are several other people online researching the family who are very nice and have interesting things to share-photos, letters and a map. If you are still looking, let me know.

I saw this on the Ancestry message board. My ancester is David Dinsmore, born in Ireland in about 1804 but appeared in Baltimore in the 1830's and had many descendents, many who stayed in the Baltimore area. Any information that you may know about his parents or when/how he arrived in MD would be appreciated.

You might want to check out the names Dunmore and Dunsmuir.

See "Lindores Abbey and its burgh of Newburgh: their history and annuls, pp 433 to 436."

In the process of being anglicized from a celtic language, Dunmore has been spelt many different ways. The addition of an "s" to Dinsmore and Dunsmore comes from the anglicisation of the possessive "'s". In records of the 12th, 13th and 14th century, the name is often spelt Dundemore, which again is a frenchification of the possessive "de".

The name appears in the Ragman Roll as Dundemore.

The Dunsmores, Dunmores and Dinsmores appear to have been relieved of their lands in Fife by the Catholic Church and later by the Scottish Crown. This would account for their flight westward.

I've written some of this up in the wiki page under Dunsmore.

By the way, the names Samual, Robert, John, James and Richard are also in my family. My great-great-grandfather Robert immigrated from Donegal (Antrim) Ireland in 1823. My Dad always told me he was a Scot, and my relatives appeared to have only married Scottish Protestants, so for sure, they're from Scotland and their Protestants.

By the way, Thomas of Dun[de]more was Bishop of Ross, circa 1309, so that might be the source for the first name Ross.

Charles Dinsmore, born abt1848, son of Stephen/Charlotte, lived DuPage Co.,IL & Clinton Co., IA

margerice1 — 2011-05-31 04:23:31Z

I have an original framed tintype photograph described in handwriting as being of “Charles Dinsmore – son of Charlotte Eames Dinsmore (sister of Grandma ‘Lurcley’ who was Cornelia Eames)”. The name “Linsey” is unclear and could be Lurcley or Liucsey(?). I’d like to get this photo, which was taken about 1864-1865, back to descendants or family members. Charles looks to be about 16 years old or so, but there is no photographer’s location given on the paper frame, although I suspect it was taken in or near Dupage Co., IL.

I found Charles in the 1860 census for Bloomingdale, Dupage Co., IL, as age 12, born in Illinois. He was son of Stephen I. Dinsmore (age 37) and wife Charlotte (40, born NY), Living in the home were Stephen & Charlotte’s daughter Mary (4), and a Sarah “Emes”, (age 35, born NY). Illinois Marriage database shows that Stephen H. Dinsmore and Charlotte Eames were married in Dupage Co. on 3 Jan 1846. In 1850 Dupage Co., IL census, the name is spelled Dinsmoor, and with Stephen (38) and Charlotte (30) were Charles (4) and Sarah Eames (age 69, born Connecticut).

In 1870 census, “Steven” (48), Charlotte (50), Charles (22) and Mary (14) lived in the same place in Dupage Co. By 1885, the family is found in the Iowa 1885 census, living in Clinton Co., showing Stephen (62), Charlotte (65), Charles E. (36) and Mary E. (28). I found Stephen H. in DeWitt (Clinton Co.) IA in the 1895 Iowa census, indicating he was age 72, born in Maryland. By 1900, I found S. A. Dinsmore living with daughter Mary, in Clinton Co., IA showing Stephen’s birthdate Dec 1822 in Maine, and Mary’s Oct 1856.

Meet My Ancestor--Frederick County Genealogical Society Meeting

mejanemd — 2011-03-29 20:25:21Z

The meeting is scheduled for May 14 at 1pm. Visit www.frecogs.com for directions and more information.

This is the Dinsmore family that came from Scotland and settled in lower York County, Pa and then one of the sons moved to Frederick County/Washington County Maryland.

There he had two sons and 5 daughters and many of their descendent have stayed in Maryland and Pennsylvania.

Please come to this meeting and learn about the Dinsmore clan.

Look at the other posting where I provided a listing of known information. This is not complete by any means so stay tuned for more.

The society did this two years ago for the Suman family and had cousins who had never met each other showed up. It was fun and very informative.

You would very likely be interested in this volume, which I have read and copied, but which is reproduced in its entirety at:

http://books.google.com/books?id=rxkaAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA90&am...

It traces my family back to John (Daddy) Dinsmoor and I have succeeded in getting the name back into Scotland via Ireland in the early 1700's and even to mid 1600's. I am a direct descendant of the two Samuel Dinsmoors who were governors of NH in 1835 and 1855. I was told in Edinburgh back in 1969 that Dunsmuir is an origin for Dinsmoor and Dinsmore.

Do you have any info on the locations the Dinsmoors came from in Scotland? I am stymied by Duns, in the Borders, and by locations near Blair in Perthshire. Laird Dinsmoor was suppsoed to have orginated from near the river Tweed in the Borders.

Any help would be appreciated.

Capt. Elijah Dinsmore Was originally Elijah Denbow. He was disgusted with his Salathiel Denbow's colorful exploits so he changed his name and moved north. There he founded what is now known as the 1785 Inn in Intervale (I believe it was actually 1783, but don't have the records at hand). He and his descendants (for a couple of generations) are buried out on the edge of the ridge behind the Inn.

My mother did the genealogical lines 20 years ago, but they are all packed away in boxes in Jackson.

Slight correction: Eliphalet left the army for health reasons shortly after being commissioned a captain. The records suggest he left the army shorty before his regiment fought at Bunker Hill.

My father, Joe Dinsmore Jr, and his father, Joe Dinsmore Sr., migrated to McMinn Co, TN from Greeneville, TN. In fact, there is a Dinsmore reunion in Greeneville the last Sun of June. Most of those attending are descendants of one of my Grandfather's brother, Samuel Greeley Dinsmore. Do any of these names ring a bell to you?

death of Rosamond (Bowen) Dinsmore

RACHELLECK — 2010-03-23 22:29:28Z

I have a death of my grandmother of May 6th 1948. Not sure if it the correct date. I don't know where she died. Any help on how to find this would be helpful :)

Harold Pattey Dinsmore b. 1903 in Philadelphia m. Hilda Heath

shaslam100 — 2010-03-23 19:34:06Z

Searching for ANY info on Harold Pattey Dinsmore b. 1903 in Philadelphia and his wife Hilda Heath b. abt 1911 in Maryland. It is my belief that Hilda Heath is the grand-daughter of my great-grandfather, David Weeks', 2nd wife, Sarah Tooley (also spelled as Toole in some records). I can trace Hilda through the 1930 census but I cannot verify that she is THE Hilda Heath who married Harold Pattey Dinsmore (there were 2 born at about the same time, in the same area). IF my Hilda IS the one who married Harold Dinsmore, then she might have remarried after his death - and may have married a man by the last name of Gratz.

I am looking to confirm any and all of this information...but it has not been easy. ANY and ALL help is greatly appreciated. My main goal in all of this is to try to find out about my great-grandfather - and my hope is to find out if there are any records from Hilda that might help me to know more about him.

Thank you very much for your help!!

By the way, Abe Sr.'s brothers Abel and Eliphalet were both captains in the war, and Abel was one of the leaders of Shays' Rebellion. Their birth are on that Bedford VR page.

Mr Densmore,

I found your details quite by chance (and I was in Nashville 2005 !).

My mother is a Dinsmore from Kells, near Ballymena. She sent me some research recently that included details of those who had gone to the USA e.g. I only just found out there were 2 Governors of N.H.

Please free to correspond more.

Regards, David Stewart.

Hilda Heath Dinsmore b. 1911 Maryland - living in Bellefonte, Delaware in 1944

shaslam100 — 2009-08-31 00:26:14Z

I am searching for any information regarding Hilda (Heath) Dinsmore known to be living in Bellefonte, Delaware in October 1944. She was the wife of Harold Pattey Dinsmore and the daughter of Oscar Cleveland Heath and Ethel Tooley.

The reason for my search is very strange...but I will try to explain...Hilda's mother, Ethel, is the daughter of Sarah Tooley. Sarah was married twice...first to Mr. Tooley and then to David Weeks. David Weeks is my great-grandfather. I know absolutely nothing about him, except what I have found online. Just recently, I was able to locate his obituary but it contains little information about his life and nothing about his first wife - my great grandmother. My hope is to find something, somewhere, about this family and hopefully, this will lead to finding information about my family.

I have recently found that Hilda's husband, Harold, was apparently murdered in North Carolina...and I have a copy of his death certificate. I know virtually nothing else - except for what is contained in census records.

If anyone can provide any additional information, I would greatly appreciate it!! Thank you very much!

NOTE: I am also posting this on the New Castle County, Delaware message board.

Hello, I believe Lucien was the brother of my 3rd great grandmother Harriet Cornelia Dinsmore. I do not know much about the Dinsmore family, but I do have some photographs of Harriet and one of Alvan Dinsmore as an elderly man. Would love to hear from you! Best Regards, Sandra

Teresa,

I'm looking for the same thing - Dinsmores in Washington and Smyth counties for the 1800's. Have you found your way back to that period yet?

Lula Dinsmore and Charles Keith

UniquelyLisa — 2009-07-16 20:29:21Z

They are my g grandparents. I believe Lula's parents were Thomas and Dorcas Dinsmore. Does anyone know who Charles' parents were? This would be of great assistance. Any other info concerning them would be helpful as well. Thank you.

Update: Harry Dinsmore is listed as G. H. Dinsmore on the 1945 Florida Census and is 33 which would put birth in 1912. He is listed as born in New York. Seeking any information. Not sure about his death date. I have only work of mouth for this. Liste as a resident in a boarding house at 226 Phelps Street, Jacksonville, Florida.
