I tried to look up some info for you; not very successful. These are the black Laurys I have found: 1900: James, 37, born MS; in Hinds county MS; 1910: Chares, 35, b. AR; Jackson county, MO; Nelson, 51, b KY; St. Louis. I found 3 black Hattie Gates in the 1900 census; ages 22, 7 and 16. If any of these people seem to be related to you, I would be happy to give you the complete census info. I could not find a Guy anywhere.

Michael Laury

I'm a 4th great grandson of Michael LAURY. I don't have any vital information on him except that he married Barbara REINTHALER. Their son George married Ester HARTMAN. Ester was baptized in 1786 at the Egypt Reformed Church, Lehigh, Pennsylvania. While looking through the church records I noticed there were some LAURY baptisms. I did a little digging and found that this is the area that Michael and Barbara GOTTSCHALK LAURY settled. I had heard of this couple before, but they only had three children, Barbara, Gotfried and John. I recently found a new entry in WorldConnect that lists them as having ten children. one of them named Michael. I'm wondering if this Michael and my ggggfather are one in the same. WorldConnect also shows they had a daughter named Catherine who married a Hartman (No first name listed). I feel there may be a connection between the Laurys and Hartmans given this and the fact that Ester Hartman married George Laury.

If anyone has any information I'd be eternally grateful, as I and others have been at a brick wall with Michael LAURY. Also, I have a lot of information Michael's descendants to share.

Thanks John. Calvin Veith recently sent me this same info as he found it at the Stuttgart Archives. Have you been in contact with him? If not, email me and I'll get you in touch with him so you can compare notes. My Michael is still very elusive, but I feel that there is a breakthrough forthcoming. Thanks again for the info.

For the record (in case anyone out there is looking): On page 716 of Walker, Homer A: Historical Court Records of Washington, District of Columbia, appears: Michael Laury married Bridget Kennon 5/11/1858.

HISTORY OF THE BURG OF DUMFRIES by William McDowell, Edinburg, Scotland, 1873, 2nd ed shows that Michael was born in Dumfires in 1717.

We're talking about the same Michael Laury, but some new information was dug up just this year by a cousin of ours (CalvinVeith@aol.com). He found convincing evidence in German church records that Michael was born in Germany. For copies of the church records, go to http://www.laury-brown.net/gendocs_l-b.htm and check the Laury entries from 1720 and 1750. The 1750 entry shows that Michael (Johann Michael Lauer) and Barbara were married in Wurttemberg, as previously known--and gives Michael's father as a shoemaker in a nearby village. The 1720 entry shows a birth in the same nearby village of a Hans Michael Lauri. So perhaps Michael's grandfather went from Scotland to Germany during the Killing Times in Scotland in the 1680s--some Lauries are known to have been Covenanters, a Scottish group connected with the German Reformed Church through Calvinist ties. It's easy to see how a fact like "Michael Laury was Scottish and immigrated from Germany, and his family came from Dumfries" could have turned into "Michael was born in Dumfries in Scotland".

I am a direct descendent of Michael Laury and your lineage matches ours EXCEPT our information is that Michael was born on the River Neth about ten miles south of the city of Dumfries and later moved to Germany for political reasons. At Wurtemberg he met and married Barbara Gottshalk and then emigrated to Pennsylvania. ???

Re: Michael Laury

2004-06-07 05:16:01Z

Yes, I got all this from Calvin recently. I'm glad it's getting distributed quickly. After more thought, your Michael makes good sense as a son of Michael the immigrant. The first daughter was named after the mother, Barbara, so why not the first son after the father? You wouldn't think there'd be too many Laury families around Egypt, PA in the 18th century.

Dear Mike,
I dunno if I can be of any help or not. I had a greatgrandfather named George Laury and he lived in Vineland N.J. I know that most of the "Laury" family is from the New England/Northern area. My Grandma Laury was swedish and my grandpa was part german. I can honestly say my family hasn't tried to find their ancestors. I, however, am entirely interested in knowing just exactly where the Laury name came into being. It's enough to be cursed with a name that 99% of the general public cannot pronounce correctly, much less not know from whence we come!

Just as a note of coincidence, I have a brother named Michael Laury. He's only 14 yrs old. If I could be of any more help, I have an Uncle who lives in Florida in his upper 60's and my dad who is in his lower 60's, they might have more info that could help piece this puzzle together.

Hope you find what you are looking for! I would be most appreciative if you would disclose any information you might have that would help me find my roots! Thanks!

Sincerely,

Jeff Laury

I am researching my son and step-daughters family tree for them and I need any info on Guy Carleton Laury Sr. and his ancestors. I know that he died in his 80's in the 1960's or 1970's and that he had children by two different wives. Vera from St. Louis who has also passed and my husband Guy Carleton Laury Jr. I would appreciate any info.

Re: looking for half sister

2001-09-08 00:29:30Z

yes this is right found her birth record so therefore she was born nov 20 1961 if p harp left in 62 it makes sense cause nov dec in 61 and jan is 62 therefore this right

Re: looking for half sister

2001-09-07 17:49:52Z

PHarp did not leave CA until 1962; therefore this birthdate must be incorrect
