more cousins from the Russ/Pinner clan from North Carolina in the 1800s (Bullard, McCormack, and Russ)

A refresher on the clan:

Isham RUSS (son of Isham RUSS and Dorcas McKEITHAN)
b. 1829 Brunswick county, NC
d. 1899 Lee county, NC
m. 1853 Richmond county, North Carolina

to

Mary Elizabeth PINNER (daughter of Arthur PINNER, son of Wright PINNER)
b. Jul 1829 Richmond county, NC
d. after 1 June 1900

According to the 1900 US Census in Sanford, Moore, NC, she had 9 children with 8 still living...so we are missing a child.
issue:
1-Virginia Victoria RUSS b. Mar 1854 d. between the 1900 and 1910 census (m. John Bryant KING)
2-Fannie E. RUSS b. Aug 1856 d. between 1910 and 1920 census (m. Daniel Davis BULLARD)
3-Adrena Cornelia RUSS b. 1859 d. before 1925

8-Etta Johnnie RUSS 19 Jun 1871-4 Jun 1925 (m. Samuel Kolb MEIGS)--my ancestors

I have already have posted on Virginia's and Etta's families (click on their names above), so now I will do a brief run through of the other children's descendants. I have not spent as much time on these branches yet, so there are still plenty of dates that need to be found.

John Bryant and Virginia Victoria (RUSS) KING family North Carolina 1850 +

When I wasn't getting where I wanted to go with my direct line, I took the path of least resistance and worked on the family of my great-great aunt Virginia Victoria RUSS KING. I do not claim that this is complete, it's just what I found with the records at familysearch.org Also, I have not posted everything I have, as some people might still be alive.

I won't bother typing up sources, but most everything came from North Carolina Birth, Marriage, and Death record indexes. Also, to save typing, once I've mentioned the full name of a place, I will only use the town name after that point.

b. 21 Nov 1890 NC
d. 15 Feb 1965 Wilmington

William and Hannah (Westover) Newman b. England moved to Brooklyn in the 1800s

I think I have breached one of my brick walls...I have gathered enough circumstantial evidence to convince me. I have the right family for sure. Now I still have to prove it, of course, but I'm sure.

A reminder of some info I posted almost 1 1/2 years ago from here:

Sarah Ann NEWMAN daughter of Mr. Newman and Hannah WESTOVER (according to her death certificate)
b. 9 April 1830 Gravesend, Brooklyn, Kings, New York
m. December 1852 (probably in Brooklyn but perhaps on Long Island)
d. 2 January 1923 Copiague, Suffolk, New York

In her obituary it says this about her parents:

Mrs. Miller was born at Gravesend, Brooklyn, on April 9, 1830, the daughter of Thomas and Hannah NEWMAN.


And due to other census records, I knew that both of Sarah's parents were from England.

In searching the US Census in New York, I came up with a family that I believed to be Sarah's. I was finally able to find proof. It was such a sweet experience for me.

1850 US Census New York, Kings county, Brooklyn Ward 7

William Newman   age 47   b. England
Anna                           36        England
Sarah                          20        New York (later married John Henry MILLER)
Mary Jane                  16         New York  (later married David C STEWART)
Frances                      10         New York  (later married a Charles D. LATIMER, then Edgar SKIDMORE)
Thomas                        7         New York
Catharine B                  5         New York  (later married John COOK, then Robert LOUDEN)

So, the article got the name of Sarah's father wrong or confused it with her brother or her father's name is William Thomas or Thomas William or the census taker got his name wrong. In later censuses Anna Newman is always listed as Hannah.


1860 US Census Brooklyn 7th Ward, Kings, New York:

Hannah Newman             48
Hester Stewart              10/12
Catharine B. Newman     15
David C. Stewart           27
Mary J. Stewart              25
Fanny Newman              20


1870 US Census in Brooklyn Ward 7, Kings, New York:

Hannah Newman      60
Jennie  Tatmer          29
Charles Tatmer          4
John Cook               28
Cath Cook               25
Jas W Cook               3

1870 US Census Brooklyn Ward 7, Kings, New York

David C. Stewart      27 (that's what it says, though they must have meant 37)
Mary J.                     37
Esther A.                  11
Kate                          7


1880 US Census in Brooklyn, Kings, New York gives me:

Hannah Newman       69
Fannie L. Latimer      40 (dressmaker)
Charles O. Latimer    14

1880 US Census Brooklyn, Kings, New York City-Greater, New York
David C. Stewart     46
Mary J.                    46
Kate B.                    17


And in the 1900 US Census Brooklyn Ward 7, Kings, New York I find:

Frances E. Latimer    b. Feb 1840  (dressmaker)

The 1910 census finds her listed as Frances E. Skidmore. I later found her marriage record to Edgar Skidmore for 27 April 1901.


As I was searching the New York state censuses trying to find any more info I could, I first found in the 1875 census:

David C Stewart

Mary J 

Esther A (age 15) 

Kate B (age 9)

Annie E Lattimer (age 35)

Charles O Lattimer (age 9).

I then looked for Mary in the 1892 census and couldn't find her.

I then looked in the 1905 census and found in Brooklyn:
Smith, William     age 41
Smith, Katie    wife    39
Smith, Hattie   dau     10
Randolf, Jessie  dau   20
Stewart, Mary J  mother-in-law   71

So, then I decided to try the 1892 census again, since I now knew Mary was alive then since she was alive in 1905. She had to be somewhere.

In the index, I saw a Mary I STEWART in Flatbush, so I clicked on it (even though every record I've found so far has been in Brooklyn). Mary I Stewart was the first name on the page and I did not recognize the next family. So, I clicked to view the previous page and found Smiths and Randolfs, so I knew it was my Mary. Now, if I had found this before I saw the 1905 census, I might not have recognized it as the Mary I was looking for, since it was in the 1905 census I learned Kate's married name Smith and that there were Randolfs involved (still need to figure that one out...was Kate married to a Randolf before she married William Smith?). So, the order of finding Mary in the 1905 census before the 1892 census was a blessing. But then I noticed something else...the thing that really makes me feel this has got to be my family--although it still isn't proof, it is enough circumstantial evidence that I'm convinced.

Living next door to

William S Smith age 30  occupation mason
Katie D Smith          27
Margaretta Randolf    9
Jessie Randolf           7
Mary I Stewart        57

was this family that I was familiar with (and even have a photo of Ferdinand...see below):

Ferdinand L. Allen  age 40 occupation saddlery
Abby S. Allen                40
Harold L Allen                 4
Ralph H Allen                  1

The reason I know Ferdinand is that his wife Abby died and he later married my Sarah's daughter, Emma L. MILLER. Emma's future husband was living next door to her Aunt Mary and cousin Katie.

Emma L Miller Allen, Joshua Purdy Jervis, Ferdinand L. Allen

I was able to find the death certificate for Frances E. (NEWMAN) LATIMER SKIDMORE and it confirms that her mother was Hannah WESTOVER and it lists her father as "Wm NEWMAN." My Sarah's death certificate lists Hannah Westover as her mother, but only had "--- Newman" as her father, so I was pretty excited.

I did find a death record for a William NEWMAN in Brooklyn in the right time frame (in between the 1850 and the 1860 census). I ordered William's death certificate, but it did not have any helpful info on it.

m 2nd Edgar Skidmore on 27 April 1901 in New York

I'm pretty sure that this Edgar is Frances's husband:

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle 23 March 1905 death notices lists a "Skidmore, Edgar" and it says this:
