my name is Tom Murren, I am a direct SHUART descendant (my mother was a SHUART) and I'm on a mission. It is my belief that most people with the surnames SHUART/SHURT/SHURTE/SIOERT/SJOERT are descendants of SIOERT OLPHERTSEN (b.c. 1640). As of today, my database contains over 900 people with these surnames, spread over the USA and CANADA....and while I have most tied to SIOERT OLPHERTSEN, I am still encountering challenges on a few major, unlinked branches.
I am seeking information which may show a link, or verify the "lack thereof" as SIOERT OLPHERTSEN's descendancy for:
Ancestry/Progeny of HENRY SHUART (b.c. 1768 in NY, USA), whose spouse was RACHEL DEGRAW. (one of the FATHER's of the CANADIAN BRANCH)
Ancestry/Progeny of JOHN WARNER SHUART (b.c. 1807 in NY,USA), whose spouse was Laura M. Townsend.
Ancestry/Progeny of HENRY L. SHUART (b.c. 1811, in NY, USA), whose spouse was Angelina Loftin.
Ancestry/Progeny of JOHN SHUART (whose son Isaac J. was born 1811)....John's spouse was Leah Post.
Ancestry/Progeny of EDWARD SHUART (no known birthdate)...whose wife was EMMA ? (b. 8/1872)...with two children GRACE (b. 7/1898) and James (b. 5/1900)
Ancestry/Progeny of WILLIAM SHUART (b.c. 1790), whose spouse was CORNELIA (b.c. 1800)
Ancestry/Progeny of WILLIAM SHUART (b. unknown) whose spouse was JEMIMA E. VAN HOUTEN (b. 10/1798)
Ancestry/Progeny of JOHN SHUART (b.c. 1795 in SC, USA), whose spouse was AMEY.
Appreciate ANY feedback.
Thank you.
