We could have visited her if we had known!
I am new to Facebook, (having been dragged into it by my daughter) so my email address is chrissiruf@gmail.com Martin says you lived on main st. in northport. Did you know Art& Vivienne MacNamara at 135 Bayview? Vivi and I were TWA flight attendants, going back to 1966. It is so creepy finding connections, and we have no relatives left on my mum's side except one cousin I can't find in the UK.

Bohemia was the location of my grandmother's nursing home -- she (Doreen Stanley Badger Mordecai) lived in Yonkers, Bellerose, New Hyde Park, and finally Northport for her final 28 years.

Now that we're in touch via Facebook, we can figure out the connections and update this later for other relatives...

Re: The Mordecai Line from U.K.

christineruf — 2009-03-20 13:37:19Z

Wow - I can't believe that your grandmother Dorothy S. Badger lived in Bohemia, and I lived in Oakdale, the town South of you until 1999. My daughter went to the Conetquot H. School. My gt,gt,gt, grandmother was Caroline Badger, born 1854, the sister of Mark William Badger, and I guess, the gt. grandfather of your grandmother. Would love to hear from you.

William Y. Mordecai obit, Henrico Co VA, 3/27/1900

sgmbeaver1 — 2008-08-14 19:27:51Z

The Richmond Dispatch, Tuesday, March 27, 1900, page 6
MR. W. Y. MORDECAI DEAD.
He Passed Away Sunday Morning
Other Deaths Sunday.

Mr. William Y. Mordecai, one of the oldest and best-known residents of Henrico, died Sunday morning at 2 o’clock at “Rosewood,” his home, near Young’s Pond. Deceased had been in ill health for more than a year, and during the past few months had been confined to his bed.

Mr. Mordecai was in the 64th year of his age. He was one of the best citizens of Henrico, and took the liveliest interest in all that pertained to its welfare.

He was for a long time superintendent of the Brook Turnpike Company, and served a number of terms on the Board of Supervisors. He was a devoted member of Emanuel Episcopal church, and was the senior warden of the vestry.

Mr. Mordecai was the quartermaster sergeant of the Second Company of Howitzers, and served gallantly during the war between the States. At the close of the struggle he took up his residence on the farm of his uncle, John B. Young, at the place known as Young’s Pond. When the Howitzers organized their association he became a member, and was a regular attendant at the annual meetings of that body until year before last.
He is survived by a widow and five children, all of whom reside in Henrico County, except Mr. Augustus Mordecai, who is now in California. His sons are Messrs. John B., Augustus, Norwood, and Thomas Mordecai. His daughter is Miss Rose Mordecai.
The funeral took place at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon from Emanuel church, and was conducted by Rev. B. M. Randolph. The Pall-bearers were Messrs. C. T. Watkins, H. C. Beattle, Joseph A. Johnston, Joseph Bryan, T. C. Redd, Gervas Storrs, W. H. Urquhart, and N. W. Bowe.

Re: Connections?

I am part of the Jewish Colonial Mordecai family. I do have records and connections of the Mordecai family of Richmond Virginia. My main focus is Alfred Mordecai who went to West Point class of 1823 and Charles Abraham Myers who went to West Point ten years later in the class of 1833. The clan is called the Myers, Hays, Mordecai family.

Connections?

Mordecai124 — 2008-07-22 01:05:07Z

Hello all Mordecais out there.

I am currently living in Adelaide, South Australia and was born and raised here. My Father, Stephen Mordecai and Grand Father, Edgar Mordecai, hail from Norfolk, England. My uncle, now deceased, was Alfred Mordecai and has three daughters still (I believe) living in the UK but under married names. Thier names are Julie, Tracey and Jane. Any connections out there?

mgarnar — 2008-06-23 16:27:10Z

My grandfather (Richard William Mordecai, born in Ferndale, Wales in 1904) came to the U.S. in 1922. Both he and his brother Tom ended up on Long Island by the 1930s.

My grandfather died in 1945 (accidental death at work), but my grandmother Doreen Stanley Mordecai (nee Badger) stayed in the US. Thanks to the work of my sisters and cousins, this branch of the Mordecai family is growing at a good pace. :)

My mother (Joan Doreen Garnar, nee Mordecai) and I traveled to Wales in 2006 to visit family, including some of our Mordecai cousins. Our branch can be traced back to a village called Llansannor in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Hi,

I was just reading you email on ancestry regarding Catherine and John Mordecai.

I have been researching my mum side of the family who are Mordecai's. On my tree I have John Mordecai born about 1871 who married a Catherine Ofarrell born abt 1887. They both lived in the Swansea area as do the rest of my family. They had about 10 children.

Please let me know if this is any help or whether there is some sort of link.

I have kinspeople buried in Crawford and was taking photos - I do not know the Mordecai family personally.
I know the wife(still living) was a Phillips. Mr. Mordecai was a member of the Lowndes County MS sheriffs dept. From other info I think they matyhave originally been in the South Al area - but that is just a guess.
I believe Mr Mordecai lived in Columbus, MS. Try a google search for :

Joanna,

How is your search on Isaac Mordecai. That is my line. I am related by his son Philip Malvern Mordecai. I know that Isaac had five children. Two boys and three girls.

Re: Isaac Mordecai son of Mordecai M Mordecai

2004-08-20 04:34:48Z

Joanna,

Would you happen to have seen any documentation showing who Abram Mordecai's parents were? I'm still not sure if he was from this line, or from the Moses Mordecai/Elizabeth Whitlock line. I'm talking about the Abram Mordecai that was a trader with the Creek Indians and lived in Georgia and Alabama from 1785 until his death in 1849.

James Whitmore m. Drucilla Lanford (Lanfords & Mordecai)

EWKrause — 2006-06-11 16:02:02Z

I am searching for any descendants of this couple. I have a photo of Drucilla Lanford, as a fairly old woman, and considerable info about her family (the Lanfords).

These people are not my line but the Lanfords & Mordecais intermarried with my family, the Wheelers -- particularly those in Denton and Hale Counties TX.

I'm currently chasing the family of Ruth Graham Stalcup. She is buried in the Wheeler family plot, Plainview, Hale Co TX (I have NO clue why) and was living near James & Drucilla Mordecai in Clovis, Curry Co NM, 1920. I believe she is somehow connected to one of these two people.

July, I have a fairly complete list of descendents of Mordecai Moses Mordecai-Moses Mordecai and Goodman Mordecai.
The only Abraham listed is Abraham F., who died 8/30/1858.
He is under Samuel Mordecai, son of MMM. I don't think this is who you are looking for.
If you've run into Keith Mordecai, you'll know that he is trying to track Abram, also.
Sorry I can't be of more help. If something comes along, I'll let you know.
If you run into anyone tracking Isaac or Phillip Mordecai, sons of MMM and Zipporrah De Lyon, I would appreciate your letting me know.

KimGosnell27 — 2004-09-23 13:55:56Z

Hello.

I am looking for any information which might lead me to Monty Mordecai, who was last known to be living in Maryland.

Monty's mother was Mary Mercer Forsythe. Mary's mother was Ethel Laura Gosnell. Ethel married John Royden Fefill Forsythe in 1908. Mary married a Mordecai probably sometime in the 1930s. Mary had a brother named John Royden Forsythe who was killed sometime after having endured the Bataan Death March.

I am hoping that Montague "Monty" Mordecai is still alive and well, and that he might find this post through one of the major search engines on the Internet. I would love to share photos and stories.

Just wondering if you have found the answers you were looking for regarding your gg grandfather's wife, Sipora Mordecai. I have been researching my husband's family for several years. He is descended from Mordecai Moses Mordecai from Tels, Lithuania. I believe he had a son, Phillip who had a daughter or granddaughter named Zipporah. I don't know who Phillip married, nor who Zipporah married. I would be interested in knowing if you think this is the same people who are in your line.
