>>MONDAY, 20 JAN 1868<<

WHERE IS HE – A woman writes from Pautucket, Rhode Island, under date of Dec. 27, 1867, making inquiry respecting her brother, Napoleon Bonaparte RAND, who is supposed to have been in California during the last 12 years. She says: "I am told he is in California somewhere and is a miner. We are orphans – the only children. He is about 34 years of age. We have never seen each other and it is only within a few months I learned that I had a brother. I am very anxious to find him if possible. There was a man by the name of John MAGUIRE along with him, and if I could find Mr. MAGUIRE, I might possibly succeed in finding my brother also." Where is he?

Luther Rand

Betty Rand Lathrop — 27 Jul 2008 2:06:54 GMT

I really want to more about your Luther Rand. I think he may have been a brother to one of my greatgrandfathers. My own greatgrandfather was Joseph Luther Rand born in Virginia March 16, 1877. I think this was West Virginia since his father was James Henry Rand and was borin Oct 3,1851 in Jackson County West Virginia. They were both burried in KC and that city is in KS and MO. The cementary they were burried in has been owned by MO and KS.
Our family tree has a Luther born in 1818. James Henry Rand's father was a Robert Rand born 1811 in Vermont. He had two wives 1. Mary Snyder born in Penn
one son William -born 1835
Second wife-Mary A Sincler born in Penn. They had a least seven children. My 2nd greatgrandfather was the James Henry Rand I have spoke about in the above paragraph.
We also have more Luthers before this one.
Hope we have the right Luther.
Best Wishes-
Betty Rand Lathrop

Rand family - North Herts. England

I am descended from the Rand family of North Hertfordshire and I am trying to trace Nathaniel Rand who married Sarah Dellow in Therfield in 1778. To date I cannot find a Nathaniel birth/christening of the right date (circa 1750-60).
Do you know of a Nathaniel of the right age in the North Herts area??

"Enslaved" African Americans in RAND records

Karim Rann — 16 Apr 2000 8:36:40 GMT

I am challenging any descendants/relatives of former RAND "slave owners" of North Carolina and Alabama who may have access to family documents containing names of "enslaved" blacks, to extract such names and make them available to African American researchers such as myself.

My great, great grandfather, CLEM (b. Abt 1845, d. 1910), was enslaved on the plantation of Walter R. Rand of Dallas Co, AL. Walter R. Rand (b. Abt 1827, d. 1864) is the son of Nathaniel Green Rand (b. 1796, d. 1883) of Wake Co, NC. Nathaniel, in turn, is the son of Walter Rand (b. 1761, d. 1812) of the Isles of Wight Co, VA; the son of William Rand (b. Abt 1710, d. Abt 1767).

Embedded in said family documents-- transactions, Bill of Sales, inventories, deeds, mortgages, minutes, bibles, journals, diaries etc are possibly names of enslaved African Americans; names of enslaved blacks who were severed from their relations.

This is my goal: To bring together the family ties of my great, great grandfather, CLEM.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

London Rands with a German connection?

markhiggie_1 — 8 Apr 2008 12:57:04 GMT

Interested in making contact with any other descendants of Adam Ewart, coachmaker and undertaker, born according to 1841 England census 'foreign parts' ca. 1771, died London 1842. He married Theresa Rand at St Marylebone London in 1794.

Children included Joseph Adam Ewart (ca.1797-1866), undertaker, and posibly Henry Ewart (ca. 1807-1850), coachmaker. The latter christened one of his children 'Joachim', which points to German or other continental European ancestry.

I'd be most interested to hear of other London Ewarts who were originally from Europe. Theresa Rand's name could also suggest European origins.

A Challenge to Rand Researchers !!!

andywheatley — 17 Mar 2007 8:26:38 GMT

Hi All,

I have been researching my family for the last 10 years but my Rand line has been so difficult to crack that I am asking for help from you all.

I have traced my Rand's to the parishes of Ilford and West Ham in Essex, near to London. So far I have found;
John Rand born about 1790 who was married to Jane, their daughter Rebecca Rand was born 21 Jul 1810 at Little Ilford and christened at All Saints West Ham, who married Joseph Deller/Dellow on 9 Aug 1830 at St Dunstan's. Rebecca lived in Forest Gate/West Ham all her life and died in 1889 in West Ham.

I have a complete listing of Rebecca's children.

I have found no other record of Rebecca's parents John and Jane and so am stuck.

Rebecca may have had a brother Joseph who was born in 1818 as she was a witness at his marriage to Mary Wood.

So is there anyone out there with information that could help me out? If so please email.

Thanks in advance.

Andy

Rand Family

Betty Rand Lathrop — 8 Jul 2006 2:45:35 GMT

I am very interested in buying a copy of that book since it is my family history. My great grandfather was Joseph Luther Rand and wife- Daisy McClung Rand.

Relatives tell me they are in the book. His father is James Henry Rand - KS City,KS and also West Virginia. His father was Robert and Mary Anne Rand- West Virginia and VT.

I have Rand family history that cousins sent me from Canada and Cal and New York. This is from 1177 to almost present. It is mainly Rand history. I can email or sent hard copy if this would help you. It is not complete due to the length etc.

I found grandpaarets down to Robert Rand with son -Kinsey. My 2x great grandfather was Kinseys brother James Henry. So you see even I had to go to census records and family Bibles to get most of data.

I will be glad to send if you think this will help. You probably have more than I do. Let me know.
Sincerely-

Looking for info on great grandaunt

Haynzie — 19 Feb 2007 1:57:53 GMT

Hi,
I'm looking for some info on my great grandaunt. Her name is Annie Rand (nee Hertach). She was born 17 Feb 1881 in Massachusetts, and died in Jan of 1983, just missing her 102nd birthday. What I guess I need is the first name of her husband. I know she married into the Rand family, as did her brother John.
Her brother (at least the one that I know of) is John Jacob Samuel Hertach a.k.a. Jake b. 24 Jun 1879 in Charlestown, MA. He died in 1955 in Arlington, MA.
Both "Jake" and Annie were the children of Samuel & Christina (Spindler) Hertach. Samuel b. 24 Jan 1842 in Niederurnen, Glarus, Switzerland, Christina b. 23 Sep 1848 (I think)in Wuerttemburg, Germany.

the info on Annie's husband, and his relatives is what I'm searching for. If anyone has this info, I'd love to hear from you. I will be willing to share what I have.
Thankyou

Sally Rand - Fan Dancer of the 1930's

Eellitta Stone — 5 Aug 2006 5:40:09 GMT

Thurkel (Turk) Greenough Red Lodge, Montana cowboy 1930's

My father gave me a 1931 scrapbook that has newspaper clippings of the time concerning cowboys and the rodeos. This article was in the scrapbook with a picture of Turk Greenough age 36 who wanted to marry Sally Rand a Fan Dancer.

Sally's, Hubby-to-be Already Has a Wife

Los Angeles(UP) Mrs. Helen Greenough said Friday the handsome cowboy to whom Fan Dancer Sally Rand is engaged is her husband.

She said she married Thurkel (Turk) Greenough in Red Lodge, Mont., on April 5, 1933, and lived with him until last June. He is a prfessional bronc rider.

Mrs. Greenough, pretty and frail, consulted Attorney Lewis A. Schaffer.

"How can he marry that fan dancer if he's married to me?" she asked. "Turk and I were married in Red Lodge, and I went with him everywhere. We use to come out here so Turk could ride in the movies."

She said she had received two letters from him, from Montana. One informed her he was 'in love with someone else." She said he told her they could not be happy because she disliked living on a ranch.

Miss Rand announced from Kentucky Wednesday she intended to marry Greenough and "live on his ranch." She added, however, she would continue her fan and bubble dancing.

Mrs. Greenough said the dancer met her husband in 1935 at a rodeo in Cheyenne, Wyo.

"Turk, won the prize, and afterward she came running up to him to get his autograph," she told her attorney. "It's just the glamour of the rodeo business that gets 'em. These society women just get attracted to cowboys.

Mrs. Greenough indicated she would be willing to give her husband a divorce if he would make financial provisions for her.

CAUTION: Some Rand lineages may be fraudulent

wilsond212 — 11 Jul 2006 3:30:19 GMT

In reviewing the older postings to this board, I have noted a few references to work by Anjou on descent from Robert Rand of Charlestown, MA.

Early in the 1900s, about 200 fabricated genealogies were produced by Gustav Anjou, a Staten Island, NY, genealogist. More than 100 of these genealogies have been located. They are widely accessible and probably being used by genealogists, who may not be aware that the pedigrees are false.

For more details, please refer to the following websites:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~tmark/GeneFraudsArt...
http://www.horsethief.info/anjou.htm

If anyone can help identify the specific questionable publication, it would probably be helpful to all of us. If possible, please identify the work by its full title, as well as where you saw it. If it's on-line, the URL would be helpful.

It is not my intention to criticize the work of anyone who has chosen to rely on work by Anjou. I am only suggesting that the prudent genealogist should look for additional supporting documentary evidence rather than relying solely on a source that may be questionable.

Samuel Rand, residing Epsom, NH, 1799>Strafford, Orange, VT

NANCYWATROUS — 9 Jul 2006 7:26:05 GMT

Seeking ancestry or any information on Samuel Rand, b. ca 1770-80. He and wife, Alice [Unknown] are living in Epsom, NH, in 1799 at the birth of son, Moses.
This family migrates to Strafford, Orange Co., VT, by 1801.
Known children:
Moses, b. 1799, Epsom, NH
True, b. 1801, Strafford, VT
Emily, b. 1805, Strafford, VT
Alpha Buck, b. 1810, Strafford, VT

Moses, True and Emily Rand [Worthington] all migrate to Walworth Co., WI, in 1841. We do not believe Samuel and his wife accompanied them - there is no record of them in WI.

Any assistance or direction appreciated in helping us find the ancestry of this Samuel Rand.

Rand-Wilson marriage, Ohio

wilsond212 — 6 Jul 2006 2:33:33 GMT

A diary entry by my gggf, Robert L. Wilson of Whiteside Co., IL, for June 3, 1865, mentions a visit to Oxford, OH, where he "stopped at Mr. Higgins who married my niece Sarah Rand".

In addition to the implication of a Higgins-Rand marriage, this also suggests a Rand marriage to a Wilson daughter, probably in or near Perry Co., OH. The only daughter in the family for whom I have no record of a marriage is Sara, b. bef. 1822. Any marriage probably took place after 1822, since Sara is specifically named in her father's will of that date, suggesting she was of legal age then and unmarried, since the will does not state a married name.

Does anyone on this list have additional information about any Higgins-Rand or Rand-Wilson families?

The Rands of Australia

Lawrence Rand — 8 Jul 2006 7:20:20 GMT

Betty,
I've printed out your two e-mails. The next time I go to the State Library of Victoria I'll take them along and see if I can stir up a little dust. I'm not too hopeful, but who knows? I may experience serendipity. And yes, I remember that some Rands moved up into Canada after living in Vermont. Artemus and Louisa (Spring) Rand, for example.

Rand Family

bettyrandlathrop81 — 8 Jul 2006 2:21:05 GMT

Sorry has taken me so long to reply. My father very ill. The book you need was on the Salt Lake site. A cousin in Cal also has a copy. I have tried to get him to give to the other Rands. This book is Francais Rand Family NH where our family is Robert Rand 1630's in Charleston,Mas. He was born 3 May 1590 Barkhouse, England d. 1640 USA.

We think these two lines may be related but need more research to tell.
Sincerely-
Betty Rand Lathrop

Vermont & New Hampshire Rands

woodsbear — 6 May 2003 11:23:49 GMT

If this is your first visit to the Rand Board, welcome. I am one of its administrators. If you have general questions, I will attempt to answer them. However, like most persons you meet here, I have my speciality. Mine is a database of about 2400 persons who were Rands or were married to Rands and who lived in Vermont or New Hampshire sometime before 1860. Beyond 1860 I have very little. Contact me with a name and a [approximate] birth date if you think I can be of help.
N.B. When posting a message try to include a name that is relevant to the Rand family and indicate what state or area that name is connected with. Finally if you have the person's years, give that also. Two examples: (1) VT--Philander Rand (1807-72), or (2) NH--Susanna Hemenway Rand (1746-??) Be concise and creative, as if you were trying to sell a car through an ad in the newspaper!

Thomas Woodworth Rand b 1805 Kings County, Nova Scotia

Thomas died February 14, 1878. He was married to Elizabeth Irene Barnaby in 1828. She was born October 08, 1808 in NS, the daughter of Worden Barnaby and Lydia Eaton.

On the 1881 Census of Canada, there is an Eliza Rand, age 72, born in NS, listed with the family of Ebenezer Rand. Thomas was dead by this time, so it would have been natural for her to live with in-laws.

I have Thomas' father as Merchant Rand and have Ebenezer's parents as John Rand and Margaret McKensize.

Did Thomas and Elizabeth have children?

The Rand family of E. Boston and Somerville, Massachusetts

Nesslee129 — 6 Nov 2002 5:56:57 GMT

Hi, l'd like to hear from anybody who knows about the Rand family of E. Boston and /or Somerville, Massachusetts. The only person I know who to start with is my great grandmother, Agnes. She was born in E.Boston, later married a man named John Hertach from Cambridge, and later settled in Somerville. All I know is that Agnes' parents both hail from Massachusetts, (assuming in the Boston area), but beyond that, I don't know. I don't even know of their names. I don't have access to the census records, so I can't check. Agnes was born around 1884. She was the mother of 6 children, (only 5 will show up on the 1920 census, if it is checked, seeing as the youngest child, my grandmother, wasn't born till 1921). Their names were: Ralph, John Herbert, Louise, Dorothy, Helen, and finally (if you search the 1930 census)Lillian. If anyone knows of this family please respond. All efforts and time are appreciated.
Thankyou,
