John Polhamus (Polhemus) death 1877-Westchester

edie_polhamus — 18 Sep 2008 1:25:00 GMT

I've found a record that indicates that John Polhamus (or Polhemus, depending on your source) died in Westchester on April 10, 1877.

Can anyone lead me to a record that might give more details?

He lived in NYC from at least 1850 (altho he's probably the John Polhamus in the 13th Ward in 1840 as well). Was married to Delaphene Clark, had a number of children.

He was a silversmith, designing pieces for Tiffany.

I'm trying to learn who his parents were.

Thanks for any help.

Bogart - Fitzpatrick Wedding

deb92948 — 11 Sep 2008 4:00:11 GMT

I am interested in finding any information about Isabella Bogart and Philip Augustus Fitzpatrick. They married June 19, 1896 in Irvington in a Catholic Church but I don't know where to go or how to find out any additional information. She died around 1908 in Yonkers. Isabella and her sister, Helen, were orphaned when they were young (living in New York City) and were raised by their grandmother, Sarah Crane. I speculate that they moved to Westchester County to be near Orlando Bogart Sr., who was the brother of the girl's father, William Henry Bogart. Any information or suggestions for places to look would be appreciated. I am in Tennessee and unable to look for things in person.

Frantz/Franz brothers, soda/mineral water manufacturers

tdfugere — 7 Sep 2008 6:57:10 GMT

Hello

Interested in more information on this family. Brothers Peter, Frederick, and John Franz-Frantz all came from Prussia/Germany with their father Jacob and brother Charles. The three sons are all at some point mentioned in the 1860-1880 censuses as soda/mineral water manufacturers.
Curious to know if this was a big family operation?

Also looking for the surname of Peter's wife Barbara. They married just before coming to the US, or met just after Barbara arrived in 1853, as thier first child was born in NY.
Peter's mother's name would also be appreciated, if known. I'm not sure at this point if she ever came to the US, or perhaps died before they came to the US.

Peter and family lived in Yonkers; Frederick & family in Rye; Conrad, John and family in Somers.

Thanks

marriage and death information

bjkeilyllwhs — 5 Mar 2008 7:05:04 GMT

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could find marriage and death information for Katherin(e) Skraastad in Yonkers. She came to the United States in about 1906 to visit her sister-Anne Kristine Toft(my grandmother). I do not have an address-by 1910 my grandparents (who emigrated from Norway in 1902 and 1903) had moved to Watertown. I have a professional photo that was taken in Brooklyn so I do not know if she moved there after her marriage-which I believe was not very long.

Catherine Duffy August 12 1927 to August 1978

ebenordms — 23 Aug 2008 7:32:56 GMT

According to the Social Security index, Catherine lived in Yonkers at the time of her death. In order to find out if she is the Daughter of Michael and Catherine Duffy, I need to find out if there is a record in obituary records of here death. She was a late in life baby, and her father probably died in 1927, and her mother shortly after. She had no siblings, and one uncle on her mother's side who never married. Her father's siblings didn't know of her existence.

She was raised in the NY foundling home, but they will not give me any info because I am not a direct decendent. (My grandmother was her father's sister.)

Can anyone help?

Marriages at Hudson-On-Bay

omasan_1 — 29 Aug 2008 9:51:55 GMT

This is like finding a needle in a haystack, because all I have are guesses.
Looking for marriage information on a Joseph Alberts who married Lillian Irene Walker, b. 1909 Charlevoix, MI. I talked to her before she died and she told me she had been married at Hudson-On-Bay, and don't know why I didn't ask date.
My guess would be that she had married between 1930-1935. She lived in New Jersey from 1932 until 1984, when she moved back to Kingsley, Michigan.
Would appreciate any help anyone could give me on getting information on this union.
Thank you so very, very much.

Haley/Yonkers/1870-1890

patriciahand213 — 17 Feb 2008 7:14:37 GMT

I am looking for information on a HALEY family that lived in Yonkers around 1880. I found them listed (as Healy) in the 1880 census in Yonkers on Vineyard Street. The head of household was Kate Haley, born 1830 in Ireland. If she is the person I am looking for, her maiden name would be McDonald. Her husband's name is unknown. It appears they had at least 7 children: Margaret, Jane, Nellie, Andrew, Martin, William, Frank. One of daughters may have married a man named McCaul.

At some point around 1875, Kate's niece, Margaret Carney, lived with the family. Margaret married Patrick Cone in 1879.

Otis Elevator Company

Was it near Nepperhan Ave? Are there any lists of employees available? Or booklets, photos, etc. from that time period? I am also interested in finding the school my mother would have attended-probably the first three grades of elementary school.

Michael Chema of Yonkers, New York

WilliamEWatson42 — 20 Aug 2008 2:01:04 GMT

Michael CHEMA of Yonkers, Westchester County, New York is apparently listed twice with two different families in both the 1920 & 1930 Federal Census.

1920 - Michael CHAMA (ba.1910-NY) - s/o Ilko & Mary CHAMA Ward 1
Michael CHEMA (ba.1910-NY) - s/o Michael & Mary CHEMA Ward 1

1930 - Michael CHEMA (ba.1909) - s/o Ilko & Mary CHEMA
Mike SHEMA (ba.1909) - s/o Mike & Mary SHEMA

When reviewing the obituaries for John CHEMA (15 Jun 1912 - 10 Dec 1995) and Anna (CHEMA) PETERS (9 Jul 1914 - 11 May 1997) - ch/o Michael & Mary CHEMA, there was no reference made to a brother Michael. All ten children are accounted for in both obituaries.

I do know of a Michael CHEMA, s/o Ilko (or Elias) & Mary (RISKO) CHEMA, whose siblings were Mary (CHEMA) SPRING, Anna / Eleanor (CHEMA) BAGLEY & Lillian (CHEMA) FURGUSON.

Was Michael possibly a nephew of the elder Michael, since I am only using the “teaser version” of ancestry dot com, I don’t have access to all of the references contained in it.

A separate inquiry into Michael the elder’s proper name, his son John names him as Michael while his daughter Ann names him as Joseph, is Joseph the middle name ?

Also John provides his mother’s maiden name as FECHISKO while Ann gives her mother’s maiden name as FETCZISKO, which of these were correct ?

Mary (RISKO) CHEMA was the sister of my mother-in-law Julia (RISKO) ADAMS of Cold Spring, Putnam County, New York.

POWERS GRAVES IN ALL SOULS CEMETERY IN PLEASANTVILLE

mikepowers9 — 6 May 2007 3:07:09 GMT

I need help. In February I was able to visit NY and go up to the County Archives in Elmsford to do some family research. It was incredible! Back in Brooklyn I could visit the city archives where I located a number of death certificates that clearly listed All Souls in Pleasantville as the burial place. The Church tried but could not find any records. I was forced to head back to work in Europe.
Perhaps some good soul who likes strolling through cemeteries could check if there are graves/monuments for the following:
John Powers - March 6, 1897
Mary Taggart Powers Nov 29, 1911
Ellen Powers Melville - March 7 1927
Richard P Powers Aug 9, 1905
There are probably also graves for Thomas Powers, died 1882, and Anne Ford Powers, died Sept 24, 1912.
Even the names of William, Mary Jane and Annie Lowery are of interest.
John Powers, born 1831, was my great great grandfather. He came of course from Ireland. He was the baggage master at the Pleasantville Station where he was employed for more than 30 years. He and his brothers showed up in Pleasantville in the late 1850´s and stayed on in the area.

Many thanks!

Jack & Helen CROWLEY, formerly of Hastings-On-Hudson, Westchester County, New York.

WilliamEWatson42 — 7 Aug 2008 3:47:08 GMT

Searching for the family of John “Jack” & Helen CROWLEY, formerly of Mount Hope Boulevard, Hastings-On-Hudson, Westchester County, New York.

Jack (ba.1907) & his sister Martha (ba.1902) both born in Ohio. Jack & Martha CROWLEY were the ch/o John & Mildred (MORRIS) CROWLEY, the gch/o John & Mary (LUCEY/LUSEY) CROWLEY of Corry, Erie County, Pennsylvania and Mrs. Emily (VANDERGRIFT) MORRIS of New Castle, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, the ggch/o John Andrew & Johanna (RYAN/RYN) CROWLEY of Jamestown, Chautauqua County, New York (my gggps).

John & Mildred were married 28 Feb 1900, the 1900 Census lists them as residing in Niles City, Trumbull County, Ohio. In the 1910 & 1920 Census they resided in Avonmore, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania with their two children & Mildred’s mother Emily.

Some time before the 1930 Census, John & Mildred relocated to the New York City area where John died on 11 Jul 1939. Jack CROWLEY & my dad, Alfred Eugene WATSON (second cousins) somehow just after WW2 ended up teaching in the same high school in Ossining, Westchester County, New York. Jack & Helen had two daughters (my third cousins), slightly older than me, I really never got to know the girls that well, I am also not sure of their names after fifty years. When I returned home from the army in 1962, I had lost all contact with this family. Does anyone out there know where to contact these family members ?

Looking for parents of Harrison Byington, born about 1814 near North Salem in Westchester county, died there: "Burial Grounds of North Salem in Westchester County, N. Y." by B. Katz North Salem Historical Society 1978; Location 2J1: Harrison Byington. Died November 30, 1878; aged 64 y 10 mos. 10 days. He was married to Belinda Bailey (daughter of Joseph Bailey and Rachel Delevan). Their children were Edgar and Melville Joseph. 'THE SCHOOL HOUSE AT PINE TREE CORNER' North Salem, New York 1784-1916 by Helen G. Trager included this on Melville, but nothing else on Harrison: BYINGTON, MELVILLE J.: b. 1854, d. 1922; was born in North Salem to Belinda Bailey and Harrison Byington. Melville and father, Harrison, served as trustee for Pine Tree School District, the former 25 years after his father's term, which was in 1863. The Byington's land, originally leased from John Knox, was farmed by Melville's grandfather, Harrison Byington the First, who purchased 158 acres in 1775. Melville was married to Jennie H. Tompkins, 1872-1913.

Elizabeth “Lizzie” (CHONTOS) SIMON of Peekskill, Westchester Co., NY

WilliamEWatson42 — 4 Aug 2008 7:48:25 GMT

I am attempting to identify the parents of Elizabeth “Lizzie” (CHONTOS) SIMON, born 8 Oct 1890, died Nov 1967 in Peekskill, Westchester Co., NY, the wife of John SIMON, born abt. 1886. They were married before 1909, their first child (John Jr.) was born 13 Feb 1909 in Peekskill.

The only other CHONTOS family residing in Peekskill during the 1920 & 1930 Census were John (ba.1880/70) & wife Mary / Elizabeth (ba.1882) CHONTOS with their children: Gozzs / Gerald (ba.1902/04), Leslie (ba.1910), & Joseph (ba.1912/13). Gerald is shown in 1930 as married to Gladys (ba.1909).

Attempts to identify this CHONTOS family in the 1910 Census has proved fruitless even in adjoining states. Lizzie SIMON & John CHONTOS were most probably sister & brother, and probably emigrated together. Lizzie was already married in 1910, where was the family of John CHONTOS residing ? I don’t know where any of these people were born.

John & Lizzie (CHONTOS) SIMON were my daughter-in-law’s paternal great-grandparents, we would appreciate any help.

Sorry for the double JENTZSCH posting yesterday, I went back to search for it after the first posting, didn’t find it and posted a second time, not finding out until today that it posted twice.

Catholic Orphanage

RonPorzenheim87 — 11 Jan 2004 2:22:48 GMT

I can't believe that no one else is looking into the New York Catholic Protectory located in Westchester County in 1880. Someone out there must be able to come up with some clues.
I have a picture of the facility and letters confirming that this was a working orphanage; knitting, weaving, etc. for the girls. The headcount in 1880 was well over 1500.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

John Wendell Fifth Ave.?, New York city allied with John Jacob Astor

Cathy Kirby — 26 Oct 2005 5:14:43 GMT

First off, I hope I am on the right board for New York City.
I am looking for information on John Wendell who was partner to John Jacob Astor.
From what I have found about John Wendell his story parallells my family's John Windle in every way but one-our John Windle's brother Thomas (Robert) was listed as Irish Catholic in the censuses in which he appears.
These are the points on which the information agrees:
1. Our John made many millions of dollars in the fur trade with John Jacob Astor.
2. There were five daughters and one son.
3. They lived very frugally.
I am combining information from two different branches of my family because my family didn't know too much other than they had heard of the Windle Millions. I never heard it pronounced as Windle but rather Wendle. Someone left all their money to the church while John Wendell's family left it to their cats. I was told that John Windle died at sea. He came to Canada via Scotland and was shipwrecked in Cape Breton. He continued onto the U.S. with brother or father. Thomas stayed behind in Canada.
If anyone can help me out, I would really appreciate it. I would also like to see a picture of the building that belonged to John Wendell if there is one on-line.
Thank you.

John and mary Smith Paterson, NJ > Yonkers

patmontero25 — 20 Jun 2008 9:52:58 GMT

Mary ( maiden name unknown) Smith was born in Paterson, Passaic, NJ and was of Irish. She married John Smith.

In 1859, I found the following entry if perhaps John followed in his father’s footsteps:
Smith, John book-keeper (House) 9 Mansion House

In 1893, John was an engineer and living in Paterson.
John was an engineer for the Trans Siberian Railroad during the era of the Revolution ( 1891-1913) and lived in Siberia for several years.

In 1949, the couple had 2 unmarried daughters ( both were in their 20’s) and lived in Yonkers, Queens, NY.

Any further information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Daniel Holly of Bedford, NY

Michael Smith — 16 Oct 1999 12:00:00 GMT

Looking for information on the family of Daniel Holly and Abigail Clason of Bedford, Westchester, NY. They were married 12 Sep 1717. Daniel was the son of Samuel Holly of Stamford, CT and also married a second time to Joanna (do not have a maiden name or date of marriage). I have been able to locate three children: Mary b. 7 Aug 1718, Samuel b. 31 Aug 1722, and Stephen b. 23 Feb 1719/20. There is also an Abraham Holly enumerated in the 1790 census for Bedford who may be a son or grandson.

I have an Isaac Holly who was born 24 Dec 1767. I believe he may be related to Daniel and/or Abraham, as Abraham is enumerated near the family of Joseph Fisher and the Fisher name appears in my Isaac's descendants.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Obituary Lookup

NYJudi — 14 Jun 2008 6:42:21 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has any access to the older Westchester County newspapers?

I am looking for the obituary of Patrick James Coyle my great-grandfather, born March 16, 1872 and died on April 23, 1943 in Mamaroneck, NY. I'm hoping that the email would tell me his parents names or any siblings he may have had or anything else about him or any of my relatives. He was born in Ireland according to his death certificate and census.

Also, great-grandmother Mary McNamara Coyle - Mary died after 1943 and I believe by 1953 since I have no memory of her. I have contacted the cemetery where Patrick is and was told that Mary is not buried with Patrick so I couldn't get any help. She was born in Ireland according to her death certificate and census. Maiden name McNamara was on Patrick's death certificate.

Charles Martin, grandfather - born August 29, 1896 in Hoboken, NJ
Died June 4, 1960 in Mamaroneck, NY. His parents were Robert Martin and Mary Greer according to Charles death certificate and census. Charles rode the sweeper for the Village of Mamaroneck for many years.

I have written and emailed that Mamaroneck Library but they don't get back to me. The same goes for the New Rochelle, NY library. I contacted the Larchmont library and they told me to contact the Mamaroneck Library. So any help with any of the obituaries would be so much appreciated.

Thanks.

Miss Yonkers 1957

Ken3rd — 9 Jul 2007 10:09:07 GMT

I previously mentioned a King of Queens episode, and a Miss Yonkers; the Doug character (Kevin James) can be annoying, juvenile to the nth. Here's the story: The Arthur character (Jerry Stiller), obnoxious in a funny way, charms a character named Evelyn Ross, Miss Yonkers 1957, with his cemetery plot at Forest Lawn. The usual Internet search yields little on any Yonkers beauty pagents, or any Evelyn Ross in Yonkers; have you ever seen a beauty pagent in Yonkers, or Evelyn Ross? Not according to the Internet!

Ellis/Clift/Stebbins

freeper15 — 23 May 2008 3:39:26 GMT

My great, great grandfather was William Ellis – born 1836 in Ireland. He immigrated to America through New York in 1853 and settle near the Carmel area. William married his first wife, Nancy Ellis, and they lived in Carmel in 1860. Through a source I have determined that William Ellis was working for Leonard Clift on the Clift farm in April 1861. It seems that in later life that William and Leonard Clift’s grandson, Mortimer Stebbins, were close friends – my father still has copies of pieces of correspondence between them from the early 1900s.

I was wondering if anyone has ever come across any of these surnames in their research. My g. g. grandfather was “complicated”… He eventually abandoned his NY family sometime towards the end of the Civil War and settled in Fulton County, PA where he married a second woman who is my g.g. grandmother.

I have exhausted every source I can think of trying to track down what happened to William’s NY family. I have been in touch with both the Putnam and Westchester Historical Societies and have had no luck.

Nancy had three children with William – Eldora (born about 1860 – she later married Thomas McGreevy), William (born about 1863) and George Edward (born about 1865). I am particularly interested in Eldora. She had some legal dealing with her father in PA the 1910s. I have found her in various Censuses but have not been able to discover much about her life outside of that – not even a date of death for her.

Any information or advice any of you may have would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to forward this message to anyone you may be in contact with that may know anything about these folks.

Thanks and have a good weekend.

Nola Madeleine Mary HERTZ & Robert August ANDREWS Marriage

SMoziar — 23 May 2008 2:49:53 GMT

Can anyone help me find the marriage of Nola Madeleine Mary HERTZ and Robert August ANDREWS, please?

In 1930, Nola HERTZ was living at 14 Caryl Avenue, Yonkers, Westchester. Robert was living at 7 Landscape Avenue, Yonkers, West Chester. These two locations are within .4 miles and I am assuming that Nola and Robert met because they came from the same neighbourhood.

On the 1930 Census, Nola is 14 and Robert 19 so they probably married after 1934 when Nola would have been 18. I don't know what the laws were then and if she could have married at 16.

I am assuming that they married in New York but they could have married in New Jersey or anywhere for that matter.

Nola's name may be Madeleine Mary or Mary Madeleine HERTZ although she went by Nola on the 1930 Census. She came to America in August 1916 with Douglas and Molly HERTZ. She was born in England in 1915 or early 1916 but I have never been able to find a birth for her. On one ship's manifest, her place of birth is given as Buenos Aires, Argentina. Her mother was Molly CARR who was born in Ireland.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

George and Rose (?) Silliker

Anthony Gagliani — 24 Jan 1999 12:00:00 GMT

I would like to find the maiden name of Rose, wife of George Silliker of New Rochelle, Westchester County, NY. Their son was Jacob Silliker, a United Empire Loyalist who emigrated with William Schureman to Shelburne, Nova Scotia, Canada in 1783 and married Mary Strang, daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth (Galpin) Strang of Rye or Port Chester, Westchester Co., NY.

I think she may have been a Wright and that her mother was a Townsend. I also think her family may have come to New Rochelle from New Jersey. George Silliker appears in a list of Emigrants to Philadelphia, PA. Was he of German or Dutch ancestry?

BOLT family in Salem, Westchester, 1790s

billingh — 25 Apr 2008 6:55:54 GMT

Hi,

I have a William BOLT, b. c1793 in USA (ref: 1841 and 1851 census in Cornwall). M. Elizabeth Gill in England, and children to marriage were
Uriah
Matthew
Caroline
Samuel
Angelina

From a few sources on the web, I see that a Uriah BOLT was residing in Salem, Westchester, and also in Connecticut through the latter half of the 18thC. Uriah BOLT married Sarah LOCKWOOD, 1793.

While I can also find other BOLT marriages, I have had no success finding any BOLT baptisms for the area of Salem.

I am wondering whether there is anybody doing BOLT research, or tripped over their name in research for Salem. For Salem baptism records is there any suggestions on places to look?

Thanks.
