Elly Deer, Monroe County, AL

RosemaryPines — 2012-03-29 15:23:01Z

Does anyone out there have information on Elly Deer of Monroe County, AL? Believe it was my ggrandmother's uncle. Trying to locate documentation that Joanna Hart's mother was Lizzie Deer and that her brother Elly was named guardian of her three children after her husband Edwin Hart died in the Civil War. Elly moved from Conecuh County, AL to Monroe County, AL but died at age 34. Believe Lizzie remarried after the war and Elly's guardianship ended. Does anyone have a copy of a record of such?

RosemaryPines — 2012-03-29 15:19:19Z

Looking for information on Henry Hart family. Believe one of his sons to be Edwin Hart who died in the Civil War. Believe Edwin married Lizzie Deer and fathered three children - Joanna, Henry and John. Located reference to a document posted by Stephen Klein on the Hart Family Tree that says the three minor children of Edwin Hart were left in the guardianship of Elly Deer after his death. Believe Elly Deer to be the younger brother of Lizzie and am looking for documentation to prove the connection.

RosemaryPines — 2012-03-29 15:14:27Z

One of JPD's sons, named Elly, born about 1837 was named guardian of the three minor children of Edwin Hart who died in the Civil War. A document was referred to by Stephen Klein in an online family tree several years ago. The document itself was not attached to Elly's record. Does anyone out there have a copy of that document? I believe the three Hart children included Joanna, Henry and John. Joanna was my ggrandmother and I am looking for verification of the line.

Deeerr Family Cullman AL

mrfky68 — 2012-03-04 04:32:59Z

I am searching for information of the Deerr family of Cullman, Alabama. My great grandfather was William F. Deerr born on May 6, 1883 in Alabama. I know very little about this branch of my tree because William (a Lutheran) married my great grandmother, Carrie Hafling (a Catholic) and was ostercized from his family as a result of this union. They were married in 1901 in Cullman, Alabama and later move with Carrie's family to Louisville, KY. My grandmother thought that William's fathers name was also William and his mothers name was Mary Kraft but she was not sure. I know that William had a brother by the name of John Deerr. John helped his brother William and his wife Carrie move and then he moved on to Illinois. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Can anyone tell me if part of this family migrated to Pennsyvania? I am trying to trace a g grandfather, David deer, b 1828, Pennsylvania. The 1880 census stated that his parents were also b in Pennsylvania. I picked up David in 1956 in Pulaski County, Indiana. I will be grateful for any help.

I know your post have been some time ago and I don't know if you have found your information or not. Quite a bit is posted on the Germanna Colony on line and I was able to go back to Martin and Johannes' grandfather whose name is Johannes. He was born in Bern, Switzerland. I trace my lineage through Johannes and our name was changed by my Grandmother to include the extra E at the end. My Great Grandfather had just the Deer name.

Re: Deer David

In researching the Smith I've found that maybe Harriet Smith married David Deer in Suffolk Co. England. Both Harriet and her husband David are buried in Collingwood Presbyterian Cemetery, Simcoe Cty., Nottawasaga Twp.

jvon22 — 2010-07-08 19:31:03Z

Thank you for the information. Looking at the picture it would seem there is some Native American heritage there. I just wish I could find the real story, I realize that may be impossible, though. It's so interesting to see what everyone has to say.

Re: Deer Family

tedstout — 2010-07-08 09:07:14Z

Hi
My wife's grandmother Grace Dear Redman was a great grand daught of Amos' cousin Fountain Dear. Her husband Perry Redman was supposed to be of Native American ancestry but she claimed to be more NA than him. On my father-in-law's birth certificate she filled in Perry's race as white and hers as "American." I am attaching a picture of Fountain Dear and his children by his first wife Betty Minnick. There must be NA back there someplace via an orphan or NA mother but on paper they all are of German ancetry. You will have to look at the picture on the message board because to list will not show it.

GregDeere53 — 2010-04-27 01:10:31Z

My name is Greg Deere and my grandmother changed our name from Deer to Deere when the John Deere tractor became famous.My great grandfather was Walter Deer who was the only living son to make it past the age of 24 from his family. My great grandfather's dad was John W. Deer who I think is Isaac's brother. He died in Pulaski, MO. I was able to trace our heritage back to Germany and then to Switzerland through Johannes Hirsh who arrived in Culpepper, VA.

I am looking for the owner of the original photos of Nellie Deer. I have her name in my records.

Re: Barbara Deer of Madison Co Va

TedStout51 — 2009-08-05 20:55:22Z

Ollie

Barbara was daughter of Martin Hirsch/Deer and Frances Long.

See http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&d...

or go to the Germanna Website http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~george/index.html and search for Hirsch.

Barbara's father Martin Hirsch was a brother of John Jeremiah Hirsch/Deer who also came to the Germanna area. John was my wife's ancestor.

Barbara Deer of Madison Co Va

olclarke — 2009-08-05 15:45:47Z

Need parents & siblings for Barbara b abt 1770. She marr Ephraim Rouse 16 Mar 1795. He was the son of Mathias Rouse & Elizabeth. Ephraim & Barbard died in Boone Co KY. Ephraim died 16 Jul 1851 & Barbara died aft 1840. Mathias is a decandant of the germanna germans who settled in Orange Co in the early 1700's. See germanna's web site for info on them. I think the Deer family was also germans who came later.
Thanks, Ollie

Benjamin Franklin Deer/Seminole Indian Heritage?

lbrown176 — 2007-06-07 17:24:00Z

I am trying to help my half-uncle verify possible Indian heritage in his ancestry. At present, the only information I have on the Deer line is as follows:

Lois June Deer was born March 13, 1929 in Indiana and died August 9, 1995 in California. Lois was married atleast twice that I know of. Known husbands were Richard Lee Brown and Earl Osgood. It is believed that her parents were Benjamin Franklin Deer and Genevieve (sp?) Maban.

We think the Indian heritage may be somewhere in this line and might be Seminole. Any additional information on this line would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you for you reply, it sure gets confusing with all the John Deers, I think your gggg is my ggggg grandfather, that is if I counted right. It really is fun finding long lost relatives. Do you have any information on the Missouri Deers that were my direct ancestors. Thanks and have a great week.

Re: Deer Family VA - KY - MO -OK

Joyce,

John Deer is my gggg grandfather, his father being the emigrant Johannes Hirsch/John Deer. The Germanna_Colonies list here at RootsWeb is full of information about the group of Germans who settled in Virginia east of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Re: Deer Family VA - KY - MO -OK

jhminton — 2007-03-11 06:30:28Z

OK, let's see if I can keep this straight. I just started family history and I am the granddaughter of Edna Ellen Deer Stewart, daughter of Amos Franklin Deer son of John Wilson Deer son of Amos Deer son of Ruben Deer son of John Deer. My grandmother Edna died in 1928 and her father died in 1899 and her mother in 1894, she and her brother William were raised by their grandmother Louisa Hudson Deer. Let me know if you kept up with all of this. Oh, my connections with the Deers are all from Missouri and Virginia I think.

Mattie Deer

jvon22 — 2007-02-23 21:06:37Z

I know this is a real longshot but I figured I'd try. I recently found out that my great-grandmother, Mattie Deer, was adopted. So, it turns out I'm not blood-related to the Deers. But I would like to find out who her birth parents were if possible. If there's anyone out there who can provide with some clues or information, I would greatly appreciate it.

Mattie was the daughter of Isaac and Vivian Deer. She was born in April of 1895, in Missouri (I think). Isaac Deer was born and died in Missouri and their other children were born there, so I'm assuming that's where they adopted Mattie.

Thank you!

Re: Deer Family VA - KY - MO -OK

jvon22 — 2007-02-16 23:50:01Z

I know this was posted several years ago but I've been researching my family and it looks like we're descended from the same line.

I'm descended from Johannes Hirsch(Deer)- John Deer - Reuben Deer - Amos Deer - Isaac Deer and then Mattie Deer who was my great grandmother.

This is Culpeper County, Virginia. My ancester was John Deer. I hope this helps.
