Sarapta Jane "Jennie" Downey daughter of John & Eliza

tabbiechick — 4 Feb 2008 2:20:16 GMT

Figure with a name like Sarapta it would stand out in a person's mind if they have that name in there lineage. Okay first for what I already know.....
Sarapta Jane Downey -- November 21, 1868 - August 1, 1929
married to Archie Wetzler Roberts.
John W. Downey -- July 25, 1838 - July 2, 1891
Eliza (Riggs) Downey -- 1843 - December 29, 1911

All but Archie W. Roberts are buried in Rehoboth Cemetery in Somerville, Fayette County, Tennessee.

I have a photo of John W. & Eliza (Riggs) Downey from what I belive to be around early 1860s. The origianl is a tintype photo.

Does anyone have any of these people in their lineage? I am told that there was a son born to John W. & Eliza (Riggs) Downey.

Please let me know if these folks are in your family tree and help me bust through my brick wall.

Thank you

I am searching for my grandmother's family. Her parents are John Downey (b 1870-1876) and Catherine Sullivan -possibly O'Sullivan. My grandmother, Honora (Nora) Downey was the youngest of 9 children.

A few of the girls came to the states via New York in the late 1920's and went to work for a well-to-do family in Pennsylvania before moving to Detroit, MI in the early 1930's. There, she married Francis O'Reilly from Co. Cavan, Ireland. They had 5 children.

William Jasper Downey (1841 AL - 1923 MS)

robtd1ntx — 12 Nov 2007 4:59:40 GMT

I have the following information and trying to piece it together to see if this is correct: The 1850 census for Tallapoosa County, AL shows William (age 9) and John (age 11) Downey at the home of George Redin.

Isabelle/Elizabeth Taylor Downey

n1obium — 9 Nov 2007 6:51:24 GMT

I am seeking information regarding my great-great grandmother, Isabelle/Elizabeth/Eliza Taylor Downey.

I have very little information on her. Here is what I have:

She married Foster Downey in New Brunswick Canada. Foster was the son of Gilbert. Together Foster and Isabelle/Elizabeth/Eliza had four children: Gilbert, Isabelle, Roby/Robie, and John Frank Waldo. They all moved to Cambridge, MA after the death of Foster around 1883 in Kars Parish, Downeyville. He is buried in Belleisle Bay Orange Cemetery, New Brunswick, Canada.

Once they got to Massachusetts, I cannot trace Isabelle/Elizabeth/Eliza nor her daughter Isabelle. I can, however, trace Gilbert, Roby, and John.

Gilbert moved to the West Coast and worked as a carpenter in California and Washington. Roby married Howard Longmire of Nova Scotia (my great-grandparents) and John stayed in the Arlington, MA area to be near Roby.

aztecinv — 4 Dec 2006 2:33:11 GMT

My mother, Evelyn Christine Downey, was b. in 1917 in or near Kingsville, TX. Her father was Jack Downey; mother was Grace Margaret Carter. I can't find my mother's birth certificate or a marriage certificate for her parents. Maybe they were never married? Can someone please help me? The Carters, Grace and her parents John Quincy Carter and Elizabeth Carter, and her sister Leona Amanda "Josie" Carter Whitley were in Kingsville in 1916-1917, and probably belonged to a Baptist Church, as they were staunch Baptists (maybe Southern Baptists). Please help. I live in AZ and my mother died in 1975 before telling me what had happened to her father. Her mother remarried, to Roscoe Mills, and died in 1929 in AZ.

imboo22 — 29 May 2006 7:33:31 GMT

I am looking for information on Bernard James Downey or John J. Downey out of St. Louis, MO. Bernard is the Father, and John is the son. Bernard was married to Mary (maiden name possibly O'Brien) and they can be found on the 1900 & 1920 Census. In 1900, they lived on Pahin Street, and in 1920, they lived on Nashville Avenue. However, I cannot find them at all on the 1910 Census and cannot locate Bernard or Mary on the 1930 Census. On the 1920 Census, there is another child listed, Francis. His first name was Thomas, but he is listed only as Francis. John and Thomas can both be found on the 1930 Census with their families, however, I can't seem to find Bernard or Mary.

Also, I would like information about the 1910 Census and where Thomas Francis fits into it all. He was born in 1908.

I would love to have any information at all about this family. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

Jack C Downey on Indiana was killed in South Pacific in WWII

Jack C. Downey of Indiana was killed July 26, 1944, in the South Pacific during World War II. He is officially listed as missing or buried at sea. His name appears on the “Tablets of the Missing” at the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines. We are seeking information regarding his military and civilian life.

I am a retired Hoosier from Madison County residing in the Philippines with my Filipino wife. We are seeking family and military information about servicemen from your county killed in the South Pacific during World War II. There are 17,206 Americans buried here and thousands more that are missing or buried at sea and are honored on the “Tablets of the Missing”. Please visit our website to see the beautiful memorial located in Manila, Philippines.

http://fizkid.tripod.com/

My wife and I visited the cemetery as visitors and left with a mission in our heart. We have been taking photographs of the graves of the Indiana servicemen buried here and have been uniting them (at no charge) with their family members in Indiana and across the United States. To receive the photo of your family member, neighbor or friend all you need is a working email address. We do not send them to regular mailing addresses due to the costs. Please help us find the families of the men that might still be living. Our project is only successful because of teamwork and your contributions are noted on our website. If you wish to help us we will be pleased to add your name to our ACKNOWLEDGMENT page on the website. The obituaries usually did not appear till to three months after the death date.

If you are not a genealogist you can help by just picking up the telephone directory and find someone with the same last name and give them a call. It has worked many times for us.

Abraham Downey, Jr. date of death

Jerry Downey — 22 May 2006 3:44:04 GMT

Abraham Downey, Jr., b. abt 1786 in Surry Co., NC is most often cited as having died Aug 20, 1835. I believe this is incorrect and may be the actual date of death for his father, Abraham Downey, died aft 1830, but have no original source of information to document this.

Here's why I suspect the commonly used date of Aug 20, 1835 for Abraham Downey, Jr.

1. His will is recorded 1855 Warren Co., KY (Bk 27 Pg 318).
Not consistent with date of death in 1835
2. He has daughters listed in the will with married names who were born in 1830 & 1831. Not possible in a will written bef 1835
3. The date Aug 20, 1835 id consistent with the date of death commonly used for his father, Abraham Downey who died aft 1830. If this information is taken from a grave stone without a birth date, perhaps the marker may be incorrectly assumed to be that of "Jr".

In the 1850 Simpson Co., KY census, (his widow) Martha is living next to Daniel (Jr.'s nephew) & Malinda (Evans) Morris Jr. If this is accurate, it would indicate "Jr." died at the latest, bef. 1850.

1836 Simpson Co., KY tax records show "Martha" with land on Gasper River. One could reasonably assume only Martha is shown because "Jr." is deceased. This confused the issue again because it would make "Jr.'s" death occur bef 1836.

The delimma is which data is wrong, date of death or the will and tax records. If anyone has original source information for gravestones (for Sr. & Jr.), copy of the will, tax records, etc., or can offer assistance, I would sincerely appreciate your help.

Thank you,
Jearl D. Downey, 5th great-grandson of Peter Downey

Downey's in St.Louis Area in 1908......

imboo22 — 14 May 2006 7:23:53 GMT

I am looking for information about the Downey family in St. Louis on, before and after 1908. I believe I have traced my Grandfather's parents (which has been no easy deed) to the 1910 census. However, I am unsure. My Grandfather's name was Thomas Francis (Frances) Downey. He went by the name of Francis. He married Genevieve Gertrude Jewett.

His brother's name is possibly John. Father is listed as Bernard. Mother as Mary. Bernard and Mary both list their parents as being born in Ireland. I am desperately seeking some kind of verification that this would be my great grandparents. I can't seem to get past my grandfather.......any help would be appreciated, or any ideas of where to go from here.

Then I started retyping everything into the PAF program.
Now I have to go hunting again. Off the top of my head, Davault Jr. and his son Robert Fulton were in trouble with the Presbyterian church in Hancock.. Here again, I would have to hunt those records, but I just remembered I have the pages in my picture file.
