Oscar W. LaGrange

TerriYoung70 — 2009-06-04 17:03:54Z

Oscar W. LaGrange on his WWI draft record gives his birthdate as 3 Aug 1882, and his nearest relative Anna LaGrange. He and Anna are found on census records in Everett, WA with two sons. In one census, his father, Chas. W. is with them.
Chas. W. and his wife Carrie have a family gravestone in Greenwood Terrace Cemetery in Spokane, WA, which has on it their names and the names of their children, as well as years of birth and death. Oscar's year of death, however, is missing the final digit. I asked at the office about this and was told that there is no record of Oscar being burried there.
I found a record of an Oscar W. LaGrange buried in Cypress Hill Memorial Gardens in Everett and was told by the office there that he was born 3 Aug 1883 and died 5 June 1957, and his wife's name is Cora. In fact, she is buried next to him.
I believe these two Oscars are one and the same and that Cora is his second wife. Can anyone confirm this for me, and perhaps tell me when Anna Rhode LaGrange died?

Hi Donna,

A further query. How were the Craigs and Lagranges connected to the Leney family?

regards Kath

Re: LA GRANGE/CRAIG descendants?

monneraye — 2009-04-20 20:09:35Z

Thank you for your reply, really grateful.

A few queries, where exactly were Jane and Charles married?
Does the marriage certificate name Charles's parents or his occupation, or is it just an entry in a church record?

Do you have a copy of the marriage record that you could send me?

If you want to contact me directly my email address is kathkennedy@yahoo.com

Would be so grateful if you would tell me a little about Jane's family?

regards Kath

Hi Kathleen,
Jane Edgar Craig was the sister of my 3x great grandfather. Unfortunately, I have no idea of whether or not she had children, nor of what becam of her after the marriage. The only new information I've found since 2006 was from the original marriage register, where I discovered that Charles was a widower.
The Craigs and the LaGranges seem to have been closely connected to the Leneys, in both Bray and nearby Monkstown.

Hope this helps!
Donna

Hi, i am very interested to read your post from 2006. I am trying to find out about the family of Charles LaGrange born about 1772 who married Mary Turpin, born July 19 1780, in 1800. They lived outside Dublin in Bray and had a number of children. In aletter written by Mary La Grange's brother, Peter Turpin, to his sister Caroline Warren in 1843, he mentions the La Granges and speaks of their son saying that "his intended is in England and the Finlaysons (nb Susannah Finlayson was Susannah Turpin, another sister of Peter Turpin and Mary La Grange)are of the opinion that he will follow her and marry her there." I wonder was that Jane Edgar Craig?

If Jane Edgar Craig is your ancestor then surely she and Charles La Grange must have had children.

regards Kathleen

Re: Crispin de la Grange, b. ca. 1570

mawlent01 — 2009-02-28 13:34:32Z

Hi, I am from the de Forest line. Based primarily on website searches, I have Crispin as being b. abt 1555-1565 in either Leiden, Zuid, Holland or Flanders (now Belgium) and marrying Agnes Mangelarus, b. 1564, Flanders. So far I have no more than that. I do have a lot more de Forest if you need it.

searching for parents of PAUL DE LA GRANGE

MKDBail — 2008-12-14 21:05:55Z

I'm trying to find the parents of Paul DE LA GRANGE born in France approx 1590. He went to Sweden in about 1611 and worked as the French instructor for king Karl IX daughters Katarina and Maria Elisabeth. He was a page of Gustaf II Adolf, served in the cavalry and by 1623 was working as a forester in Sweden. He was married to Karin LARSDOTTER approximately 1630, but I think he was married once before that because he has a son by the name of Aron DE LA GRANGE attributed to him who was born about 1625. I know nothing about his first wife. With his second wife, Karin, he had 8 or 9 children. (I am descended thru his oldest daughter). Paul died 12 Feb 1659.

He also went by the names: Paul DE LA GRANTIJ and Pavel JOHANSSON. For this reason I believe his father's name was Jean or a version of it (i.e., Johan, Johannes, John, etc).

I have found reference to his father as Jean DE LA GRANGE born about 1540, died about 1606. He is listed in at least one place as the "Count of Grammont." Jean's parents are alternately listed as: Germaine DE LA GRANGE and Antoine DE BILLY, Francois DE LA GRANGE and Anne DE DIGOINE, or Francois DE BILLY and Anne DE DIGOINE.

I believe this is the right family for Paul to belong to, I just need to find the appropriate link to make him fit. In at least one place Jean is presumed to have had multiple marriages, but there are no names for his wives, and no children listed for the first marriage. I suspect Paul may have been the product of that first marriage. I also need to pin down with accuracy Jean's parent's names.

If anyone can help me with this family, I would REALLY APPRECIATE the clarification!!!!

Halsey,
Abraham LaGrange (1769) of Canada mar LUCRETIA LUKE abt 1807 in Canada. Their probable children are John 1808; Jacob 1810; Edith 1812; Omie 1815; Jemima 1817; Isaac 1820; Philip 1823; Abraham 1826. [source The LaGrange Family by Vreeland Leonard at NYS Library, Albany, NY] He includes many dates by lacking in many sources. Vreeland was my father's 3rd cousin. I have found a number of errors in his work, however, its a good start I have not validated the Canadian Line.

Re: John LaGrange buried 1798, Union, NY

jhflann — 2008-08-31 13:08:42Z

Hi John:

How are you related to Caleb LaGrange?

Caleb LaGrange, b. 1805 d. 1877, was the brother of my mother's ancestor, Daniel Halsey LaGrange, b. 1798 d. after 1844.

Their parents were John LaGrange (1771-1858) and Hannah Halsey (1774-1838).

My mother's line of descent (+info on Caleb) is:

Omie de La Grange & Annetje de Vries
...Johannes de La Grange & Eytie Croesvelt
......Johannes (de) La Grange & Metje Van Buskirk
.........John La Grange (1733-1798) & Elizabeth Mersereau (1742-1816)
............John LaGrange (1771-1858) & Hannah Halsey (1774-1838)

.............3.Daniel Halsey LaGrange (1798-after 1844) & Experience Nash Stoddard (1800-1895)
..................John LaGrange (1825-1912) & Sarah McKay (1834-1882)
.....................Edward E. LaGrange & Ida Mae Drehmer
........................Rhea Sarah LaGrange (1894-1942) who married my father Henry Harrison Flanery (1897-1955).

.............7.Caleb LaGrange (1805-1877)
..................1st: Rebecca Olmstead
.....................1.James B. LaGrange (1828-1876) [placement with this family is unproven]
.....................2.Sophia R. LaGrange (1829-1850)
..................2nd: Chloe Olmstead [Rebecca's sister]
.....................Ten children, including Caleb M. LaGrange [La Grange in Goshen Co., WY was named after him].

Hannah Halsey was the daughter of Daniel Halsey & Abigail Williams;
her brother Caleb Halsey (1771-1851) married Sophia LaGrange (1775-1852), sister of Hannah's husband John LaGrange.
When the LaGrange family moved to (now) Broome Co., NY, Hannah Halsey became lost to the Halsey family history,
until I was able to show that Hannah was a lost daughter of Daniel Halsey.

I was named after my mother's uncle, John Halsey LaGrange (1865-1924).

I am having problems uploading pages to my homepage at rootsweb, so I have temporarily placed 2 PDF "Outline Descendant Reports" on my personal (non-genealogical) website. One shows descendency from the LaGrange-Mercereau side (back to Elizabeth Mercereau) and the other shows descendency from the Halsey-LaGrange side (back to Daniel Halsey).

Christian LeGrange 1819-1902 Albany County, New York

eshinckley1 — 2008-03-29 23:40:04Z

I am searching for information on Christian LaGrange (1819-1902) and his family. He married Mary Ann Houghtaling (1827-1913) probably in Albany County, New York. They had the following children; William (1844-?), Vanderzee (1847-1882), Eve (1848-1850), John (1849-?), Christian (1852-?), Garret (1857-?), Jacob (1859-?), Anna (1861-1929), Eveline (1865-?), and Catherine (1867-1953). The family appears to have lived mostly in Albany County and also spent some time in Columbia County, New York. Any information is appreciated.

Family of Isaac La Grange & Marytje Burgaart

jhflann — 2008-02-04 13:09:18Z

HiFolks:

This is a update to a message that I posted elsewhere on this Board regarding the family of Isaac (de) La Grange & Marytje Burgaart. I have added information about this family that I found on this site:

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~chasluke/surnames/

Following the information on the above site, I have made 1 change in the names of Isaac & Marytje La Grange's children:

I have changed the name of their daughter "Grietje La Grange", who married Johannes Luke, to "Geesje La Grange", because that is how she is known in Canadian records. Note that her granddaughter "Lucretia La Grange" was also called "Geesje" in LUKE records. "Geesje" seems to be a pet form of "Gesina". I'm beginning to suspect that "Grietje" may here represent the name "Lucretia", and that "Geesje" indicates that both women bore the two given names "Lucretia" & "Geesje". But of course there is no proof of that.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have posted a tentative synopsis of this family at:

http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jhflann/IsaacDLG-Quebec.pdf

This is an updated reconstruction which connects it back to the immigrant OMIE DE LA GRANGE. I cannot quarantee the accuracy of the dates.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I found the following "Lagrang" in the 1852 Census of St Armand East District 1:

Isaac Lagrang.......38.....Canada
Lucretia Lagrang....69.....USA....nee LUKE [also called "Geesje" in some sources]

Wife & son of Abraham (deceased by 1852). Is this the Isaac La Grange who married Anna Guthrie, who died shortly after their marriage (her funeral was on 5 Feb 1849)?

Mary Lagrang........23...Canada?

Who is she?

Jacob Lagrang.......42...Canada
Jemima Lagrang......34...USA
Mariet Lagrang......10...Canada
Abram Lagrang.......09...Canada

Salina* Lagrang.....37...Canada...[*= Paulina Reynolds]
Ome* Lagrang........37...Canada...[*= Omie La Grange]
Mary Lagrang........12...Canada
Pallina Lagrang.....08...Canada
Harriet Lagrang.....06...Canada
Miles Lagrang.......02...Canada

These folks are all Epicopalians.

Can anyone tell me how these folks are related?

Hi Rae: It has been a long time. I lost most of my genealogy files in December, and all my saved documents and saved emails that contained genealogical data. I also lost my Windows Address Book. Fortunately, I had placed .pdf copies on my web site of the most valuable "family files", from which I can manually rebuild my FTM files. So my LaGrange is recoverable. Still, I lost of lot of important data on my Mersereau, Halsey, McKay, and Drehmer ancestry, and it be quite awhile before I will be able to rebuild those files.

Yes, I am quite interested in what you have found. The Mersereau and LaGrange families have very interesting histories. Some of the stuff I've seen online about the immigrant LaGranges is basically later-day family folklore (from the early 1800s) and not very reliable. You can snail mail me at:
