ABRAHAM AND ROBERT DERBY: Lancashire, England>US

NOSMO — 29 Jan 2008 12:00:27 GMT

Is anyone researching the family of Robert Derby, who married Susannah Holden in Bury, Lancashire, England, in
1857?

They had a son, Abraham, born in 1860 in Bury. They came to the US in 1867 and settled in Pennsylvania, where their son, Robert, was born.

Abraham married Lillian (surname unknown) and had at least two children: Lillian and Marian.

Robert married Carrie Shoenberger (no apparent issue) and lived in Georgia, Kansas and Missouri.

Robert (father and son) and Abraham were machinists.

Connection between Derby and DeRemer??

deremerrl1 — 21 Jul 2008 5:30:59 GMT

Does anyone have information on a connection between Derby and DeRemer (my family's surname)? I've done fairly extensive research on the DeRemer side, but I found a photo of a little girl named Louise (or Louisa, not sure) Derby in my family's old photos...it looks like it's from the late 1800's or early 1900's.

Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

Nelson J. Derby, b.1844; wife Martha Trussell, b.1846; lived Wapello Co., IA

margerice1 — 9 Aug 2008 5:16:22 GMT

I have an original 8”x10” photograph of “Grandpa & Grandma Derby” with 12 adults and about 18 children, which I’d like to get back to descendants or family members. Photo was taken in about 1915, and gives surnames besides Derby, of Townsend, Buchanan and Hunter. Children of Nelson & Martha Derby were William Arthur (wife Lizzie); Martha Jane (husband Harry Townsend); Harry (wife Laura); Minnie (husband Marion Hunter); Lillie (husband John Buchanan); and Charles (wife Isal), and all are identified on the photo. The family members are sitting and standing on a home’s porch.

I found the family of Nelson J. Derby and family in the Wapello Co., IA censuses, and also on Ancestry’s OneWorldTree, which lists dates of birth of Nelson, Martha and the six children. Nelson was born Jan 1844; Martha, Apr 1846; William Arthur, Aug 1866; Harry Franklin, Jul 1870; Minnie Florence, Dec 1875; Martha Jane, Sep 1880; Lillie Ethel, Sep 1885; and Charles Andrew, Feb 1899.

Get back to me at margerice@prodigy.net if you are related to this Derby family.

Derby DNA Testing

emilyaulicino12 — 9 Dec 2007 8:20:13 GMT

I run the Derby/Darby (any spellings) DNA Project and am trying to break through my brick wall for Charles Rufus Derby who m. Hannah Bowers. Charles was born before 1800 and lived in Bridport, Addison Co, VT and later in Jersey Co, IL. He died in MO. By DNA testing, I'm hoping to find other lines of Derby who are connected by blood and thus narrow the search field. For this reason, I'm urging anyone who has a male with the Derby surname to consider testing. If we can determine who among us is related by blood and who isn't then the good guesses as to where to look for our ancestors could be narrowed. One does need to do their genealogy, however....DNA testing does not replace good genealogy, but proves or disproves that paper trail.

Email me directly for more information.
Thank you,
Emily

Trying to make a connection Between my G-G grandfather

Jellybeans4ever — 27 Mar 2008 4:10:28 GMT

I am wondering if anyone would know if my G-G grandfather Roger Derby/Darby is related to George Judson Sr. They all were born in England. George Judson Sr. came to America in 1836. Roger and his brother Thomas came across July 31, 1850 on the ship called Waterloo. George took Roger and Thomas in for a while in Stockbridge, Michigan because Roger broke his leg while working in Parma Michigan at the pumping station. On Roger death certificate it lists his mother as being Mary Judson. I am wondering if she is George sister or some sorts of relation. If anyone could help me out. I really appreciate it.

My uncle (Robert) Craig Derby had two girls with a woman named Loraine. I believe they were born in the late 70's or early 80's in or around Salem, Oregon. I have a few pictures of Christine when she was a baby (named after my mother).

If you find this, you have cousins looking for you. Unfortunatly everyone on our side of the family has passed. Our grandmother never stopped wondering where you were. We would love to know you.

Looking for info on a Roasamond Durfey Dau of Phineas Ashley Durfey and Lucina Cole

derbymw — 10 Nov 2007 6:13:55 GMT

I found this is the Family Data collection and have a feeling these people could be related. I could also help me to find proof of Sylvester's father. Roasamond Durfey was born Jun 1835 in NY. I have my oldest know relative Sylvester Derby born in 1780 in Dorset Vt and found a possible father Phineas Derby born abt 1746 in Stonington, New London, Connecticut from familysearch. In the Family Data Collection it has a Phineas Ashley Durfey and Lucina Cole as parents of Rasamond Durfey. The funny thing is that my Sylvester married a Rosamond Richard son so I'm wondering if this Phineas is a possible son of Sylvester and named his child after his mother Rosamond. If not Sylvester's then someone close to his line and related.

Derby DNA Testing

EmilyAulicino67 — 31 Jul 2007 3:09:59 GMT

I wish to announce a Derby DNA Project to help all of us get past our brick walls and to see who is and who isn't related so we can work together or ignore those lines who do not connect for the sake of time and money.

I desc. from Charles Rufus Derby of Addison Co, VT (m. Hannah Bowers) and we just found a person who is testing. There were other lines in the county that we can't connect via any paper trail. DNA testing will tell us if there is a common ancestor of these groups or not. As a result I would love to find a male descendant of any of the following families or any Derby connected to them: Apollos, Dexter, Lemuel, or Dudley Derby.

If you have questions or are just curious about DNA testing, please email me privately. I run several DNA Projects for my family names and teach the public about how testing helps genealogy is is the most accurate tool we have. Just email me at: aulicino@hevanet.com

Thank you,

Mrs. Derby also had six grand children and many other relatives and friends.

Martha Coffin Derby, Richard C. Derby, Elias Hasket Derby Descendants

Jessica_Lanier — 10 Jun 2006 7:29:52 GMT

I am working on a scholarly biography of Martha Coffin Derby (1783-1832) of Boston, daughter of Nathaniel Coffin and Eleanor Foster of Portland (Falmouth) Maine. She married in 1800 Richard Crowninshield Derby, youngest son of Elias Hasket Derby (d. 1799) of Salem. They had no children. The Derbys traveled extensively and visited Loyalist English relatives in Devon and Gloucestershire-- the Coulsons. Richard married Louisa Sophia Bomford Lear after Martha's death. They had one son, Richard Catton Derby (1848-1923). He married Mary Byrd Tucker and had one son, Richard. -- and there the trail peters out... Martha's sister, Eleanor, married John Derby. There are other links between the Coffin and Derby families. At any rate, I am trying to locate family papers, correspondence, artifacts, etc. relating to Martha and Richard and their circle that may still be in the family. I am grateful for any tips or leads. Many thanks and gratitude to all the family members who have labored to document the Derby family.

Betsy Derby Daley, VT or MA, abt 1819

rgsmith_gen — 20 Sep 2005 6:06:15 GMT

I am searching for information on Betsy Derby
Daley who was born 19 Aug 1819 in Ludlow,
Windsor County, VT, the daughter of Amos Daley and
Polly (?). She married Lorenzo Smith 2 Jun 1840 in
Ashburnham, MA. Amos and Polly were both born in
Fitchburg, MA. According to the 1850 MA
census she was listed as being 33 years old
which would mean that her year of birth could
have been 1817 instead of 1819. Furthermore,
in many documents she is listed as Betsy Derby.
Either she was Amos Daley's step-daughter or
she had been married to someone named Derby
prior to her marriage to Loreanzo Smith.I have
not been able to find any proof of Betsy's
birth nor any further information about her
or her family. Any information would be
greatly appreciated.

John Derby of Phoebus, VA, Late 1800's

jlhck4 — 9 Jun 2004 3:14:46 GMT

I am looking for any information on a John Derby from Phoebus, Virginia. He would have most likely been born in the late 1800's or very early 1900's.

Somehow he ended up in St. Charles or St. Louis, Missouri and fathered a son in 1920. He did not marry or stay with the mother of his child. The mother lived in St. Charles, MO. Family rumor is that he was a teamster.

I have a 1920 census card that could be him saying he was 26 years old living in St. Louis, but I don't know for sure if it's him. I couldn't find him in the actual census.

Any leads would be appreciated!
