Maureen,

I am also seeking Minier Family History in regards to searches possibly being that Richard "Dale" Minier is my
biological father. I would love to learn more history of the
Minier family mainly to see where I came from and also any medical history. I was placed for adoption but have information leading me here. My given name at birth was Annette Marie Greenop.

Franklin Minier (miner)b.1817 French Canada

chicominers — 2006-07-16 18:57:14Z

I am looking for any information about Franklin Miner or his family. He was born in "French Canada" in 1817. He married Juliett (native of NY,b.1822) and had 3 children in NY (Franklin, Juliet and Eugene) before moving to California in the Gold Rush and having 3 more children (Mary, Martha and Abraham).
Family oral history is that his name was Minier and he changed it when he came to California. He died in Placer county, CA in 1873, and his widow Juliett died in Browns Valley, CA in 1886.
I can find them in the California census 1860 and later, but cannot seem to find any records in NY or Canada.

Hello Ken. It's been quite a while since I've been to this site. I had to respond here because I don't have your e-mail address. I believe your right. Herbert and my Grandfather Frank were brothers. Herbert was grown and out of the house when my Grandfather was born or at least quite young, So I guess they never knew each other. There must have been a situation there that I'm not aware of. My Grandfather never talked about his family much. Only on a few occasions. I know his father was a barber in Palo. My Grandfather married my Grandmother(Marietta Higbee) about 1920. They had one son,my father Frank W.(Jim) . He, in turn, married my mother,Leora Weber(of Greenville Mi.). And they had 2 sons. Me and my brother Terry R. who still lives in Ionia and no is/was never a Grand Rapids football coach. If you want to continue on my e-mail is jwminier@chartermi.net.

Re: Elizabeth Reed and Darius Minier

2006-04-27 20:19:52Z

Hello Lisa:

We are related as distant cousins, I know that Darius did die in Calf. and is buried in Clarsville (Old Morman Tavern) cemetery in el Dorado CA. Elizabeth tried one last time to get a civil war pension in April 14, 1917. I have a date for her death listed as 07 July, 1923 but I can not be positive of that date. I have no information on Elizabeth's parents.

Do you know about Darius's civil war service? I have researched 13 of the Miniers that served, 7 of Darius's brothers served. If you are interested in what he did, let me know your snail mail or e-mail address and I can send you a copy of what I have researched.

Also, you should contact Ronricki Adams as she is working to get a stone for Darius's grave. You two are closely related. ronricki@yahoo.com.

My connection is that my Grandmother was Edith Fancis Minier who's father was Lawrence Minier.

I have located several decendants of the civil war Miniers and if you are interested I'll pass that information along.

Berks County was created on March 11, 1752, from parts of Philadelphia, Chester, and Lancaster Counties. My Minier ancestors are from the Lancaster area. My gggggreat grandfather George Minier (aka Johann Georg Minnir) married Maria Elizabeth Strunk, daughter of Weinert Strunk, at the Tulpehocken Moravian Congregational House in May 1745. They had a son, Christian Minier who married Christina Beck, who named one of their sons Johannes Jacob Minnir born 4 Jan 1774 in Northampton, PA unknown if or to whom he married.

Randal,

You're quite welcome. I wish you well in your search. I was at the Family History Center near me today and came up with some birth and death certificates on family members I have been looking for. I went into HeritageQuest.com and searched the US census reports for certain years, then I searched records in Chicago, Illinois Cook County where some of the Miniers lived and came up with 9 I had been looking for. If you do not have a Family History Center near you, you can go to the public library and they'll connect you with HeritageQuest.
Best of luck. Richard

Re: Sarah Minnier/Manear/Menear

Randal,

We have a Sarah Minier on our family tree, not too much info, Just that her name was Sarah, born: September 14, 1831, died: April 27, 1913. Was married to a James Corzette.
Her parents were Abram Minier, born: June 11, 1809 in Chemung County, NY, died: June 26, 1885, buried in Quincy, Il. He married Louisa Knapp born: 1810 in NY, died November 11, 1876, also buried in Quincy, Il.
They were married April 30, 1830 in Elmira, NY. and had 13 children.
Hope this is a help.

Re: Henry B Minier Born Ca 1833

Thanks Bill,
This helps a great deal.. I couldn't find any information on Henry's middle name. I'm glad to know that it is BAIRD. I don't know anything at all about the Miniers.

Just a correction.. I spent a long time on the Ayer and Crumb lines and I can say with certainty that.. Joseph Crumb was Herbert Densmore Crumb's FATHER and Harriet clark was Herbert's mother. Herbert and Mary (Maime) Minier's children were Elizabeth, Harriet, and Edward.

Mary Minier's parents were Henry B. Minier and Julia Ann Ayer. Julia's last name is often reported as Ayre or Ayers, but it is Ayer. Her parents were Mary Dean Titcomb and Elbridge Gerry Ayer. They are of the Ayers of Haverill, MA..
All of the people mentioned here are Burried in Harvard, ILL There is a large Ayer monument there.
