Barb - I immediately recognized this memorial from the book Genealogy of the Olmsted family in America By George Kemp Ward (found on Google books). According to the book, here's my line to the Olmsteads, via my great grandmother, Clara Rosella Laymon Pecht > Eliza Ann Olmstead > Eben A Olmstead > David Olmstead > David Olmstead > Silas Olmstead > JAMES OLMSTEAD/OLMSTED > Nathan Olmsted > James Olmsted > Richard Olmsted > another Richard and 2 more James'. Can I believe everything I read???
Susan, I believe we are, at long last, distantly related through James and Richard Olmsted!
Barb - I think we knew we had a connection back there somewhere! The first James in my line (father of Silas) is, according to the calculator in Ancestry, is my 7th g-grandfather.
I would really love to visit there. I need to go to the state archives this summer so maybe I'll be able to stop by.
If you can believe this Barb I actually have extended family with the last name of Olmsted. I haven't researched the family because I haven't gotten that far. It is on my dad's side, my great uncle married an Olmsted. I don't believe the family came thru Conn. but it could happen. That side of the family is not really interested in genealogy and I am having so much fun with mine that I haven't even looked. Our families were so close in area on my mom's side that I considered us related anyway. Joyce
I have John Bronson and Matthew Marvin, and probably (will have to make sure they are the same ones) Thomas Root and Thomas Welles. I also see other names that I may have a connection to, but would have to dig a bit more.
Names I recognize : Zachariah Field, Thomas Scott & Richard Webb.
Marian, I hope you get there, you're lucky it isn't too far away.
Joyce, I'm still not sure if I have this Olmsted line, but perhaps we share another one. You and I will be cousins, one day.
Travis, did Thomas Scott m. Elizabeth Strutt? If so, we are related, and I should change it to green.
Dee, It looks like we share Matthew Marvin. And, I have a Thomas Welles who m. Elizabeth Deming, is this your line? I need to change it to green.
Hello again cousin :-)
Stephen Hart is 8th great grandfather
Richard and Thomas Lord are 9th great grand uncles
Thomas Munson is 9th great grandfather
I have Pecks in my tree, but not Paul
Thomas Stanton is 9th great grandfather (multiple times)
Thanks for sharing.
More! We share the two Lords and Thomas Munson. I took a gravestone pic. of Thomas Lord. We share a lot of ancestry. I'm following you now, very nice to meet you.
Depending on which George Hubbard that is listed on the memorial, I am either directly descended from or am related to him!
Liz, there is a book with all the inscriptions. I will check it out the next time I go to Boston to see what it says about George.
Liz, there was nothing about George Hubbard, only abt. Mrs. Cornelia Hubbard, w/of Nehemiah Hubbard. She was the dau. of Samuel Willis.
Hi, there! I think its great you have a blog up doing this! I have a few questions for you. 1). I was thinking about becoming a certified genealogist, but I have no idea how to do this.
2). I am related to Andrew K. Warde, and I know about a 100 years ago they had a Society. How can I find out what happened to the Society, and how to get people involeved in it again. George K. Ward did a great job compiling, and poof..everything is gone but the book. :( Thank goodness for that. Thanks so much on your thoughts!
Hi Anonymous,
First I would contact the Hartford Historical Society and ask them, but be sure to have as much information already to present to them. (Lots of googling, reading some Hartford history books, etc.) The second question is far too involved for me to reply here. You could email me instead for a reply.
Yes, Nicholas Desborough, William Kelsey and William Spencer.
