Re: William Stanton Segar from Rhode Island

The marriage to Elizabeth Moody is incorrect. This comes from a Segar genealogy published by Charles William and Cordelia Thies Seager in 1978 and is based on an incorrect reading of the probate record. I repeated the error in the Segar genealogy I published in 1993. Since then I have found the original Moody probate record. John Moody named his daughter Elizabeth Pepper in this record, not Elizabeth Seager. The record is extremely difficult to read. You could almost make it read any 6-letter surname you wanted. But after staring at it for some time and engaging all the experts at the New England Historical Genealogy Society Library, the conclusion is that the interpretation in Cutter is correct. She was Elizabeth Pepper.

Marriage of Annnie Kearney to Lewis Segar

maryachtrh — 2009-04-02 19:28:55Z

Appears in the Terrell Times-Star, Terrell, Kaufman County, Texas, 13 October 1893 ...

The residence of C. P. Kearney, a few miles south of town was the scene of an old-fashioned wedding ceremony last Wednesday evening. It was the occasion of the marriage of his daughter, Miss Annie Kearney, to Mr. Lewis Segar, of this city, Rev. S. Fleming, of the Baptist Church, officiating. After the wedding ceremony was pronounced the guests, of which there were quite a number, repaired to the marriage feast and were regaled in a truly hospitable fashion. Mr. and Mrs. Segar left on the evening train for Dallas, where they will spend a few days, returning to this city to make their home. The best wishes of their many friends will attend them through life.

Since the last entry, I have discovered a distant cousin from the brother Peter of William Stanton. She had information that connected the Segar (Seager) line back to Richard (b.1595). There is some question in the message boards about the birth year of Richard who married Elizabeth Moody. Our lineage info has him being born in 1595. He likely was born in England. He was much older than Elizabeth as stated in the witch trials information about Elizabeth. I have to believe that 1595 is the better date for his birth.

raysegar1 — 2009-01-11 15:52:20Z

I have wondered where the name Stanton came from, however, I have no information at all about it. I think it was common to use the last names of the mother's family as middle names, so it may be from his mother's side. Again, I have no information about that line. I was aware of his civil war action. He was slightly wounded in the head during the battle of Cedar Creek but recovered fully. Thanks for the contact. I will research the Stanton connections.

Hi; I noticed your exchanges on William Stanton Segar. He is listed in the Michigan Brown Book (Record of service of Michigan Volunteers in the Civil War,ca. 1902-1905), vol 36 as "Enlisted in company D, Sixth (Michigan Volunteer) Cavalry, Aug. 27 1864, at Grand Rapids, for 1 year, age 37. Mustered Aug 27, 1864. Discharged at Cumberland, Md, June 2, 1865."
There was a home recruiting drive in 1864 to replenish the depleted ranks of the original 1862 volunteers. The recruits saw harsh service in the final year of the war, and many of them were (unhappily) sent west after the war.
I had a number of relatives from Michigan in the 6th, and I descend from Thomas Stanton of CT. I'm curious if your ancestor's middle name indicates his ancestry includes Stantons, either from Thomas of CT, or Robert of RI?

I have since found the connection to William B. Segar Born 1794 in Rhode Island thanks to a great grand daughter of Peter Segar, William Stanton's brother. William Stanton Segar was the son of William B. Segar and Mary Ann Hull.

Re: William Stanton Segar from Rhode Island

raysegar1 — 2008-02-28 13:31:24Z

William Stanton was my Great Grandfather. It appears that I basically have the same information you have. My grandfather was William Dodge Segar (b.9 Apr 1863-d.29 Aug 1942) and my father was Charles Benjamin Segar(b.20 Oct 1902-d.4 Dec 1991).

raysegar1 — 2008-02-25 21:22:17Z

We are about 5th cousins. I have found no connection between William Stanton Segar (My GG Grandfather) and the other Segar (Seager) people in Rhode Island at the time he was born. He may or may not be related to the many Segars that were in Rhode Island at the time. If you find a connection, please let me know.

If you are in their somewhere I would like to have your input. I have most of Archibald's descendants to today. Perhaps we can trade.

2004-09-19 11:20:39Z

I am a descendant of Harriet Segar and Orrin Langdon. Have lots of info on Harriet, anyone interested contact me. She was born 1811 in CT, married Orrin in 1830 in CT and died unknown. She was descended from on of the original settlers of Hartford Ct and Elizabeth Moody Seagar (wife of Richard and tried as a witch). Her parents were Benoni Segar and Marry Ann Harris (remarried to Edwin Williamson in May 1858). Would like info on her mother or her husband whose family I cannot find. Also, if anyone knows where Richard Seagar (Segar) the original settler, (b. 1595) came from that would be great.

Orrin and Harriet's children were:
George B b 1832 CT
Mary A b 1834 CT

Philo H. Segar - NY, MI

2004-07-02 19:56:34Z

Re: Segar family in Michigan

2004-06-20 00:26:39Z

I believe the Isaac mentioned was the younger brother of my 4th great grandfather, Philo Segar (uncle to Ida, Ed, and the younger Philo also mentioned in the message). Do you have anymore information on this line? I can't seem to find Philo's parents.

I'm assuming Isaac is Philo's brother because they lived near right each other in Michigan and both were born in New York. Also, there are two Philo's buried in the same cemetery. One is my 4th great grandfather and I believe the other is his nephew.

I know there was mention of a Segar history site you had but I have been unable to locate it. Thanks for any more info you can provide.

Does anyone have information in their Segar genealogy files regarding Joseph Segar (born abt.1754 in Massachusetts). He was listed in 1850 Rutland, VT, census as living with Joseph Melissa (Segar) Baker family. I assume Melissa was either a daughter or granddaughter of Joseph Segar.

loisjanet2000 — 2004-05-01 02:25:57Z

My gg grandfather is listed in the 1841 census with this spelling as living on Trampers Lane, Boarhunt in England. He was a widower with 6 children at the time. The spelling changed to Sagre on the 1851 census at the same address. It then changed to Seager on the 1861 census at an address on Craswell St. in Portsea in Portsmouth. He died in Fareham, Southampton, in 1868. Does this match up with anyone else out there?

Re: THE SEGAR CONNECTION

bradleysegers — 2004-09-04 17:34:02Z

I descend from a John P. Segar/Seger(s) who was born in NY in 1816 (I don't have month/day - year deduced from census and military records). I am wondering if he is the Peter you listed for Moses & Elizabeth? I have often wondered what the "P" stood for!?

The funny thing is my John had a son he named Moses (born 1848) and a son named Garrett (b. 1856). So it sounds likely that he is at least related to this family. From family oral history, John P.'s parents were supposedly school teacher and wanted him to be one too, but he refused and left home, finally ending up in Southern Illinois and Western Kentucky.

Do you think there is a connection? Where did Moses live? From what a relative told me, he came from Buffalo, but I realize that he could have took the Erie canal to Buffalo from Albany (where I know there are lots of Segers). Anyway, I will be willing to share whatever I know with you.

Thanks,

Brad

Hello,

I am researching my Segar/Seger family. As far as
I know most of them came from Pittsifeld Vermont.
But a lot of them lived in Mass. My gggggrandfather was
Gad Segar who owned a 100 acre farm in Pittsifeld. His son was George who had a son Wallace who had a son Albert Edwin who had a son Robert Seger who was my grandfather.
Have you come across Gad Segar in your search.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Richard, born about 1624 in Simsbury CT.

seger001 — 2003-02-01 03:20:05Z

I have information as far as Joseph SEGER b. 1757 in Simsbury, Hartford county CT (father possibly Richard).
I show Joseph marrying Olive CALANDAR in 1782 and having possibly 8 children - then marrying Lydia (MORGAN, MILLS OR THOMPSON) depending on who you ask and having up to 6 children. I am still trying to sort out which children go with which spouse.

What do your records show??

Re: Segar family in Michigan

hitman152 — 2006-07-11 20:21:24Z

This may seem a little silly now answering a message five years old but someone may find it useful if a search ever turns this thread up. I know a lot went on, but I'm trying to get back to Amy's first post.

Ida May Seger was the oldest of four children (you named two others, another died) of Isaac G. Seger (May 1837 - October 30, 1910) and Louisa ? (1844 - 1926). As I stated in my other reply I had thought Isaac was the younger brother of Philo but recent info says otherwise. It now appears to me that Isaac is the son of Philo H. Seger. It looks like Philo had a first wife in NY before moving out to Michigan meaning he had at least 9 children with three different wives over his 85 year life. I am trying to track down Philo's parents but with little luck. If you're interested in more, either reply below or email me.

Re: Segar - Sullivan County, New York

marypfisterer — 2002-11-27 22:19:51Z

Just came across this being new to the search thing. I am researching my family: Segar, Griffin, and Lyon. Lyon and Segar are both from Bethel in Sullivan County. I recently received two newspaper clippings re: the people you are looking for and are trying to see if my family links up to them. One is an article from Liberty Register dated July 5, 1928 entitled Segar Family Reunion At Old Home At Briscoe (White Sulphur Springs). It speaks of the family of Mrs. Romelia Segar and her 15 children and gives a thorough accounting of those in attendance. The other article is an obituary from the Republican Watchman Aug 21 1975. Its for Mrs. John Rudert who is the daughter of Ormalo and Romila Bull Segar. Hope this helps. My family goes as follows: John Henry Segar Griffin (1903-1984) was my grandfather. His parents were Mary Segar Griffin (1863-?)and John Adolphus Griffin. Mary's parents were Delia Lyon and Rodem Segar. Rodem's father was Holmes Lyon. Mary Segar was born in Bethel and had a brother Charles Segar (born 1875). There was another child, Eliot, who died at the age of 2 in 1863 and is burried in Hurd Cemetary in Bethel. Do you show any of these people in your research? John Griffin was born and raised in Delhi, NY where he served as Mayor in the early '70s and was postmaster since pre World War II. I would appreciate any information you may have stumbled across and I will keep this address for any more information I uncover.

Re: Segar - Sullivan County, New York

marypfisterer — 2002-11-27 22:19:51Z

Forgot one more thing. I also have a report on the Segar lineage written by a Cindy Segar in 1973. It traces the family back to the late 1600s and mentions an Elijah Segar who was a revolutionary war patriot. I believe it included the same people you mentioned. Contact the Sullivan County Historical Society and see if you can get a copy.

Searching for information about Ormalo Segar and his relatives. There are actually 2 Ormalo's...Sr & Jr.
Ormalo Sr and his wife (Romelia Bull) had 15 children, one of which is Ormalo Jr.
Ormalo Jr. had two children, Thomas Joseph Segar Sr. and Anna Segar
Thomas Joseph Segar Sr had 3 children, his son, Thomas Joseph Segar, Jr is my father.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Segar - Sullivan County, New York

JeanetteMcVeigh — 2002-12-22 17:05:38Z

Hello
It seems that we have a match...
The one thing that I have that is different is the father of Rodem (Rodam) Segar - according to my Segar records, his parents are Otis Segar and Charlotte Kent Segar. In your note, you mentioned that his father was Holmes Lyon - I think you might have meant that that was the father of Delia Lyon (which I have as Adelia Lyon)...
Rodam Segar is my 2nd great granduncle - his brother Ormalo Sr. is my 2nd great grandfather.
I have tons of information on the Segar line - and even with all of the information that I have - I know it's still not complete.
According to my calculations, we are 4th cousins.
Here is a little bit about me...

Ormalo and Romelia had 15 children - one of them was name Ormalo Joseph Segar, Jr. who married Winifred Gallagher.
Ormalo and Winifred had 2 children - Thomas Joseph Segar, Sr. and Anna Marie Segar
Thomas Joseph Segar Sr. married Dorothy Ruth Louis on 11/25/1937
Thomas and Dorothy had 3 children: Thomas Joseph Segar, Jr., Jeanette Agnita Segar and Louise Dorothy Segar
Thomas Joseph Segar, Jr. married Kathleen Susan Shea on 5/2/1964. Thomas and Kathleen had 2 children: Jeanette Allison Segar (me) and Andrea Kathleen Segar
On June 2, 2001, Jeanette Allison Segar married John Jefferson McVeigh

I would love to share all of my information with you…
Are you using any kind of software to keep your records in line? I am using Family Tree Maker – I also have some information posted at this website (just in case you are curious):
