I found an Irene Duncan born September 1896 in 1900 us census for New Augustine, St Johns County, Florida. She is the daughter of Robert and Nettie Duncan. Her brothers listed are Robbie, Howard and Jerrold. I found a Robert Duncan that I believe is her brother in 1920 census in Lake County, Indiana. I did not find Irene Dedelow census record. It was probably not spelled correctly in the census records. Her father was born in Scotland and her mother was born in Pennsylvania.

Martha, here's roses for you and your spirit of sharing! Since I don't have access to the 1935 St Johns Co census, (and if you do), would you please forward how the household looks including names, ages, places, etc.? That would be great!! I haven't located Abraham & Charity(Lewis) Dixon in the 1880, 1900 nor 1920 census records. It's probably due to spelling by indexers,but I've exhausted my ideas of how to search. Interesting there's a Perry DIXON (b1893) with wife Mattie listed in 1920 Polk Co, Fl cens ... not my Perry!! Thanks again.

Re: Abraham Dixon & Charity R. Lewis

mhr8260 — 2009-07-18 02:33:38Z

Nancy,

Abraham and Charity are listed in the 1885 and 1935 census, St. Johns Co. In the 1935 census Perry is also listed with them, but he is listed as Lewis Perry Dixon. In the 1920 census , Hastings, St. Johns: Perry Dixon 1892, wife Mattie Dixon 1890 and mother in law Margaret Horton 1847.

Pellicer Creek Cem., St. Augustine
Abraham Dixon 12/5/1856 - 10/3/1942
Charity Rebecca Lewis Dixon 1855 - 1937 (LDS site Florida Death Index listed Jun 26, 1937 as death date)

Hope this helps,

I was looking through a lot of records this weekend, but the name Matthew Raulerson Cook definitely rings a bell. Are you related to any Cooks? I was looking through Duval county records, I think bible records on the Sparkmans.

hope this helps. i was at the duval county (main)public libray, in jacksonville, FL

Re: Duval, Mandarin, St. John's County GEIGERs

I have been looking through a lot of the Catholic records and I do remember some Geigers from both the St Johns and Duval counties, but none from as early as 1800-1840. Thanks for the Sparkman names! I think I have seen some Geiger names during the 1840-1900 time period. If I come across it again- would you like me to give you any of that information?
good luck and thanks again!!

help with our brick wall, Denalsano Surname

karenweir52 — 2008-03-11 18:06:48Z

Walto Leon Denalsano was born November 22,1860. The family story heard was that he was born in a ship off the coast of Managua Cuba, no record that we know of to proove this. Now as we have searched census records, one states he was born in St Augustine Florida, having said that, we find no evidences of this either or any evidence that anyone ever by this name was even in Florida, we do not know the names or anyhting at all about his parents. Another record states he was born in Mexico, he had a young child who died at age three and the death certificate of that child stated that the father of said child was born in Monterrey Mexico, no records found, Military records, there are three different ones, one says he was born in MEXICO, ANOTHER SAYS FLORIDA AND ONE SAYS CUBA.......DENALSANO is not a common name, I have seen it spelled Delsano, De Nalsano, he also apparently had an alias of Walter Nelson. He died Dec 4 1951 San Antonio, Bexar County Texas, cert;60322 I found him in 1887-1892 Columbus Ohio directory living at 631 Mc Coy, he states he is a musician, he is married to Ella, b 1866 , who was born in Ky and also living with a step daughter Bertha Miller born in Ohio in 1881, in 1900 he lives in Brackettville, Kinney County Texas with step daughter and wife Ella, in 1920 he is 50 by the census, he states his birthplace is Mexico and both parents were born in Florida! in 1890 he arrives from Mexico to Eagle Pass Texas, in 1901 Eagle Pass Texas he married Mary Gaines and has a son in 1905 , that he names Walto L Denalsano........all our records are conflicting information and we do not know why. We want to figure out who his parnets were, what happened to them and where really that he was indeed born, to put an end to this brick wall. Any help will be so much appreciated, Thanks

I have made an attempt to locate places on the internet where cemetery information is available. The Saint Johns County page is on MyCemeteries.com Florida page http://mycemeteries.com/USAFL.htm

Please do not be upset if a cemetery is misspelled or is otherwise inaccurate from your viewpoint. It was listed because it contained information that may be helpful to anyone looking for family in Florida.

I would appreciate assistance in making sure the listing is accurate and complete and especially if more information exists online that I am unaware of.

Please send me corrections and additions to T42@MyCemeteries.com or just reply here.

I know this is a stretch, but I am researching an Irene "Nettie" Dedelow. Dedelow was her married name, and I have no idea what her maiden name was. She was born in West St. Augustine, Florida on September 28, 1896. Again I have no idea who her parents were. I am writting a church history and she is one of the foundering co-pastors. I have her ordination request which states that she was a widow / divorce and had one child that was born dead. Hope someone can help. It will be greatly appriciated.

RICHARD Family Descendants

bostonprofe — 2008-08-03 20:11:10Z

I am writing a manuscript of the life of Florida pioneer family of Francis Richard. He married Genevieve “Honorine” Bianne at their plantation in Haiti before immigrating to the US. They landed in Charleston, but later resettled in Spanish East Florida in 1797. He and his sons, Francis II, John Charles, and John B. became prominent land owners in Duval, St. Johns, Alachua, Bradford, and Clay Counties. There must be hundreds, if not more, Richard descendants in Florida.

I am searching for any descendants of this family who have pertinent information that should be included in a book about the family. I am interested in finding any documents that relate to the family prior to 1900 that have not been previously published – personal letters, deeds, wills, photos, etc.

Please contact me if you can help. Thank you!

Re: Duval, Mandarin, St. John's County GEIGERs

RicGeiger — 2008-10-08 21:31:42Z

My Geiger line includes Mary Lucinda SPARKMAN (b. abt. 1847, d. abt. 1882), daughter of William & Mary SPARKMAN (m. abt. 1832) originally from Georgia and later Duval County, who married Henry Alexander GEIGER 6 NOV 1877 in Mandarin. Believe that she had four sisters: Martha (b. abt. 1833), Anne (b. abt. 1839), Jane (b. abt. 1841) & Margaret (b. abt. 1855); and four brothers: James (b. abt. 1834), Stephen (b. abt. 1837), Joel (b. abt. 1850) & Peter (b. abt. 1853).

There's also a Lucas SPARKMAN (b. abt. 1828) of Duval who was first husband of Josephine HAGEN, whose second husband was my 3rd great-grandfather John Robert GEIGER. Lucas and Josephine had two sons: Daniel (b. abt. 1855) and Louis (b. abt. 1867).
