Descendants of Rowena Hull Haralson, b. 1872 St Louis

nsedak — 2009-11-06 20:54:10Z

Looking for descendants of Rowena Hull, b. 1872 St. Louis to Mary Dwyer (1850-1928) and Albert Hull (1847-1884). According to 1900 Census she married Frank A. Haralson (b. 1873 Tennessee) about 1895; they were both telegraph operators. They had a daughter Eloise, b. 1896 in St. Louis. Frank A Haralson is listed in the Gould's St. Louis Directory for 1895 and 1899, tel. opr. r. 2943 Sheridan Ave. In 1900 they are living with Rowena’s mother and siblings at 4414 Greer Avenue. Two of Rowena’s siblings died of tuberculosis (Clarence in 1901 and Florence in 1904). In 1910 Rowena’s mother Mary is living with Rowena’s remaining sibling Laura Blakeslee, and husband Howard Clark Blakeslee (b. 1877 NY, d. 1937, Chicago). In 1918 they have moved to Chicago (according to Howard’s draft card). I don't believe that Laura & Howard had any children.

After the 1900 census I cannot find any trace of Rowena, Frank or Eloise Haralson.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Blakeslee/Blakesley and Mattoon Families of Conn, N.Y., & Ohio.

tchasehayes — 2009-09-13 16:33:08Z

I'm attempting to locate information regarding the children of Asahel Blakeslee (b. 7/8/1778 in Wallingford, Conn. - d. 4/17/1821 in Atwater, Portage Co. Oh.) and Hannah Mattoon (b. abt. 1785 in Wallingford, Conn. - date of death unknown). Asahel and Hannah were among the pioneer families who settled in Atwater, Ohio in 1799 and 1806.

Regarding their children, I have the following information:

Betsey Blakeslee born in Wallingford, Conn.
Lydia Blakeslee born in Wallingford, Conn.
Orrin Blakeslee b. 5/19/1805 in Wallingford, Conn.
Lucinda Blakeslee born in Atwater, Ohio.
Maria/Mariah Blakeslee born in Atwater, Ohio.
Caroline Blakeslee b. abt. 1816 in Atwater, Ohio.
Asahel I. Blakeslee b. 8/1821 in Atwater, Ohio.

After Asahel Blakeslee's death, Hannah married William Chittenden and had two children:

Orian Chittenden born in Atwater, Ohio.
Henrietta Chittenden born in Atwater, Ohio.

The one child of particular interest to me is Lucinda Blakeslee. I believe she could be Lucinda Blakeslee Hill (b. abt 1807 in Portage Co. Oh - d. 8/10/1892 in Oberlin, Oh.), wife of Lyman A. Hill (b. 1799 in Conn. - d. 3/31/1881 in Oberlin, Oh.)

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

janetebiggs — 2009-04-04 00:21:11Z

Trying to find information on the mother of James Blakeslee. He was born 29 May 1763 in
Amenia, Dutchess Co, NY, son of David Blakeslee. Many online trees list Sarah Ann Woodworth as James's mother, however she was not old enough and more likely was the second wife of David Blakeslee. First wife of David likely died btwn 1763-1784, possibly in Granville, Washington Co, NY. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This may Gervase Blakeslee, Jr., son of Gervase ,Sr. and Polly Guernsey. He was born in Harpursville, NY in 1825. He was a clerk in a grocery store there, later moved to Illinois where he was a grocer. Maybe he kept going west and operated grocery stores wherever he went. I have info on his predecessors but have lost track of his descendants.

Reuben Blakeslee, Plymouth, PA, Shawnee Warblers

My G Grandfather, Reuben Blakeslee, performed in a minstrel group called the Shawnee Warblers, based out of his hometown Plymouth, PA, in Luzerne Co., PA. at the turn of the 20th century.

Does anybody have any information on the singing group "The Shawnee Warblers", or on Reuben Blakeslee? He married Laura Pugh, an immigrant from Wales. They were married in 1892, I believe. They always lived in the Wilkes-Barre, Plymouth, Hanover Green, Nanticoke area of Pa, as Reuben was a coal miner.

John BLAKESLEE & Clara MILLER Marriage FOUND in NJ!!!

dign4roots — 2006-10-17 08:58:17Z

Recieved a copy of their marriage found in Camden, NJ. They were married in 1895, not 1896, as previously noted in all family records.

Clara's sister, Sarah a/k/a Sevilla (Mrs. David WILLIAMS), was the witness. I found the William's living in Phila. in 1880-1910.

John, again, lists his parents as GEORGE W. BLAKESLEE and ALICE WATSON. Another 12 years of research may find his parents. Every document I have lists his parents as the above, so I'm still on the search for the parents.

Does anyone have any further information? TIA, Sharon

Re: some Blakeslee vitals from Farmington, Connecticut (mostly 1840-1870)

Dalegar42 — 2006-09-18 04:18:10Z

Hi Owen,
I'm looking for an Anna Blakeslee, born abt 1873
who married an Isaac Wood and moved to Fishkill
NY, or at least they lived there in 1900.
The reason I am interested is that, in 1910, Two
of thier children Gladys Wood and Theodore Wood
were boarders in the home of my Great -Great Uncle
Henry Garvey in Hartford.
I couldn't find any ties from the Garvey line to the woods, so I thought maybe there could be some tie to
Anna Blakeslee who was born in Connecticut.
I thought this likely Since Her children were living with
my Great-Great Uncle in Hartford in 1910, and her son
Theodore was still living in Hartford in 1920 and 1930.

Re: Anna Blakeslee b 1873 CT

Dalegar42 — 2006-10-08 22:48:56Z

Michael,

I do appreciate your response, this was really a shot
in the dark, just trying to pin down data about people who lived with some of my relatives in 1910-1920 in
CT.

I Only wondered if Anna/Isaac had some tie to the family? since two of their daughters were boarding with my Great Uncle when 11 and 13 without their parents.

It seems that maybe Isaac simply worked on the same railroad as my Great-uncle and his children were simply boarding with him as a co-worker of their
father for some reason.

Re: Anna Blakeslee b 1873 CT

Dalegar42 — 2006-10-08 22:40:57Z

Thanks Owen,
I appreciate the response, what got me started was
not an actual tie to my family, but that two of the wood
children were boarding with my Great-Uncle in CT
in 1920. It seems that Their father and my Great Uncle
may have worked together on the Railroad, I was just
trying to pin down why they would live with him when they were 11 and 13 without their parents.

Anna Blakeslee b 1873 CT

okaser1 — 2006-11-20 02:55:41Z

I haven't got any information about the Anna you're seeking to tie to the Garvey family. However, I don't have a *comprehensive* list of Blakeslee families in and around Farmington CT then. I see that familysearch.org has an Ancestral File for your Anna which, if correct, starts her in the Bristol CT area - not far.

I think I recall that there is at least one person who keeps a fairly large database of Blakeslees. Unfortunately, I've temporarily lost this person's email. Perhaps he/she will see this message on the mailing list and respond to you. If not, I think this person may have posted either to the Blakesley or Blakeslee genforum sites (you should search both).
