I also have letters and lineage of Harriet Hatch Rounds. I will need to wait a bit to hunt them down since I am moving in 3 weeks, but I think my father has it also. Let me know if you are still looking for info on Harriet.

It's been some time since I researched my Rounds lineage. I do have Philo Leroy Rounds b. 1853 m. Gertrude Hatch b. 1855( d. of Samantha Church 1827 and Orson Hatch).

I am interested in any information or connection you have to these. Thanks!

Re: Parker French information

mgblakeslee — 2009-07-25 17:39:10Z

Hello Dan:

Thanks for the reply. I have Miles, McGowan, and Baldridge. My Baldridge is annotated by Johnson (Los Angeles: 1958). Is that the same material as "A Little Bit More?" Thanks for the tip on Cardinell, but I still want to take a look at his 1922 California Historical Quarterly article.

I am looking forward to reading your book, and may still be working on this project when it is published as I don't know how far my research will take me.

I am very intrigued, of course, by the information you have. I got started on this because I inherited a letter mentioning French that establishes the date of his departure from Mexico, which contradicts previous accounts.

Am I safe in assuming that French took the bullet to his arm in the raid at Corralitos where David Cooper was shot in the hip?

I understand your reluctance to share Cooper's text, of course, but I certainly would like to know more about his encounter with French at Mazatlan. I gather that this was in late 1850. Johnson says that French was able to ingratiate himself with the "majority" and arranged for the passage of "all but a few" for San Francisco. Anything you feel you can share would be most welcome.

Should our correspondence continue, and I would welcome that, perhaps email would be a better means?

dancooper1 — 2009-07-25 14:30:47Z

Hi,

I have located what probably amounts to all of the available material on French in researching my own book. You mentioned the Baldridge account. There are a few others that you will want to access, and they can be gotten through interlibrary loan. They are all worth the time if you want to be thorough.

The first is the William Miles journal, titled: Journal of the Sufferings and Hardships of Capt. Parker H. French's Overland Expedition to California.

Next you should get The Strange, Eventful History of Parker H. French, by Edward McGowan.

Then there is a small article, A Little Bit More on Parker H. French, by Kenneth M. Johnson.

One additional publication that I would not recommend to you, would be the Charles Cardinell book, Adventures on the Plains. Cardinell was on the same wagon train, but his account offers very little that you cannot find elsewhere, at least on the subject of Parker French.

Of course, there is also my book, which is the life story of David Cooper. But it will not be published until some time in late 2010 at the earliest. If your research can wait that long, I would recommend doing so, as I will add some significant data on the wagon train that French foisted off on the unlucky travelers. But as for French, himself, I have no factual additions aside from David's personal eyewitness account of the cataclysmic gunfight at Corralitos, in Mexico, and an account of his relationship with French a bit later in Mazatlan. Both these aspects are significant in some respects, and I would recommend awaiting my book if that is at all possible for your research purposes. But if your time frame is a bit more hurried, I can answer some specific questions for you about the material. I can't give you the actual text, unfortunately, since it is a part of what makes my book so special.

My request for any additional written material that Spafford Rounds may have contributed, has not yet been answered by his descendant Lorena (see prior post), but there may be something there that could help you further, as well.

Looking for further information on Spafford Rounds, who lived in the 1840's, and apparently was from Canada. He was on the Parker H. French wagon train to the California Gold Rush (1850). I would like to know more about him. What I have is some information on his contribution to the gunfight at Corralitos in Mexico. He is mentioned in my g-g-grandfather's journal (David Cooper), soon to be published

This is my line; John, George, William I., William Elmer, Marvin Edwin Rounds. I can't find documentation on who John's parents were. I have info that John was born about 1799 in either New York or Rhode Island...don't know which one is correct. John settled in Iowa and died in Monona County, Iowa about 1877. Does anyone have information on John? I have hit a brick wall on this and cannot go any further back at this point.
