Re: Harry Gillette Duke/Edna May Stanert

petermaugham — 2012-04-04 11:58:57Z

Hi Beverley,

I am also looking for information on Harry Gillette Duke and Edna May Stanert, my connection is from the Stanert side. I am currently searching through the 1930 US Census images to try and locate them, searches have drawn a blank.

Edna May (Mae) Stanert's mother was Esther Maugham Stanert, she was born in Oldham, Lancashire, England in 1866. She came over to the USA with her father John Maugham and mother Hannah Kershaw Maugham in 1873.

John Maugham is an ancestor of mine. I look forward tio hearing from you.

Tammy Hurst posted under a different thread:

<< on my great grandmothers Nancy Ardelia Lairdgin Wallace's death cert. it list her mother as being Hattie Lou Dukes and her father as being Jarrett Lairdgin. I was given one cencus listing Hattie and Jarrett and it listed Hattie's father as being Jackson Dukes. Nancy was born on 21 mar 1884 in coffee,county alabama. and she died 28 dec 1938 in darlington, florida. She is buried @ 8 mile cemetery.She married John Thomas Wallace. Not sure of Lairdgin last name that is what is on death cert. but others say that is not correct spelling not sure what correct spelling is. Any help on Hattie would be greatly appericated.>>

Hattie Duke(s) was the daughter of Sion Jackson "Jack" Dukes and Nancy Gilbert, who married in 1854 in Butler County, Alabama, and were counted in that county in the 1860 and 1870 censuses.

1870 census - Township 9, Butler Co., Alabama. Page: 356A, Post Office: Greenville

Jack Duke - 50 (born abt 1820) - Farmer - $100 pers. estate - Alabama
Nancy Duke - 35 - Ala
Hettie Duke - 11 - Ala
Walter Duke - 10 - Ala
Lily Duke - 2 - Ala

Nancy died before 1880 when Jackson Duke was living with his daughter Hattie and her husband Jarrett Lodgin/Largins in Crenshaw County:

1880 census - Beat 3, Jordan, Crenshaw Co., AL page 395

Jackson Dukes - 54 - Wd. - Farmer - Ala - Va - SC [born abt 1826]
Jiot Login - 30 - son in law - Farmer - Ala - Ga - Ga ["Jarrett Lairdgin" correction added by Wayne Hurst in 2009]
Hattie L. Login - 21 - daughter - Alabama - Ala - Ala - Disability/illness: Flux
Minnie L. Login - 9 - Granddaughter - born Alabama - Disability/illness: Flux

Jarrett Largins/Lodgins was the son of Willliam Largins from Georgia.

1850 census - Coffee Co., Alabama. Family Number 128:

William Largens - 44 - occupation: Teamster? [not "far." for farmer, which you see on other entries on same page] - born Ga
Christian Largens - f - 37 - born SC [hard to read, probably Christiana]
Abner Largens - 7 - Ala
Alexander Largens - 5 - Ala
Jarrett Largens - 3 (born abt 1847) - Alabama

Hope this helps with anyone researching the Dukes and Largins/Lodgins/Loggins families.

A friend of mine is researching the Largins and Dukes for her children's side of the family. The surname "Largins" is spelled almost any way you can think of, but it's still the same family. Contact me if you'd like to share information.

Dukes in & around Alabama/Florida

burlison42 — 2011-11-29 17:04:26Z

I received the death certificate of my great grandmother Nancy Ardelia Wallace.(b)1884 (d)1938 Darlington,Florida,

Her father was listed as Jarrett Lairdgin,family members says his last name was spelled Lodgin.

Nancy's mother was listed as Hattie Lou Dukes place of birth Alabama.Birth abt. 1859 according to census.

I am looking for information on Hattie's parents. Jackson was listed as being father on census I found he was listed as being a widower so I have no clue as to who her mother is.Nor do I know if she had any siblings I have been unable to find anymore census's on either Hattie or Jackson Dukes.

I did find one census 1880 Crenshaw,Co.Alabama
Listing
Jackson Dukes 50 head birth abt. 1830 according to census.
Jiot login 30 son-in-law
Hattie L Login 21 daughter
Minnie L Login 9 granddaughter

Can anyone help with any of this.Thanks so much for any help.anyone can email me @ tmmyhlh@yahoo.com

Dukes of Georgia & South Carolina

remember4us — 2011-11-10 03:26:48Z

I'm working a Duke or Dukes line that begins with a great grandmother Ferba Duke that lived around the Wahalla, South Carolina area and her Dukes are associated around there to the Tugalo River Baptist Church Cemetery, Stephens, Georgia area. These Dukes were also associated with the Madison, SC area. This area sound familiar with anyone's lines?

Try searching in Ohio County, Kentucky. Most of the Dukes who settled there were from Maryland, and many are buried there.

Consider joining the Duke yDNA study at Family Tree DNA (ftDNA). The study already has some Maryland Duke family members who have been tested, as well as many many Virginia origin test subjects. You may not match them, but if so that in itself would be important information that would save you from many false leads.

Ginger,

I liked hearing your story. I have been doing this for about a year now and have run four lines of my family all the way to Europe, England, France, Norway. I am now working on the Dukes surname which is on my mothers side. I have got my grandfather and great grandfather but it stops there. He said he was born in Ohio and his father in Maryland. If you have any suggestions I am open to them.

Re: Dukes Family Search

glove59 — 2011-08-12 00:41:35Z

William,

I am searching for my Great Grandfather. His name is William W Dukes. He was born in Ohio in 1844 and he settled in Michigan. I keep hitting dead ends with him. He list his father as coming from Maryland. I am hoping to get by this hurdle and I think the rest will be easy. If I see a Ben show up on any searches I let you know.

i was wondering if you could send me this pic. My name is Ward Dukes Robinson (i'm using my wife's account). We are cousins. My mother is Helen Rebecca Brown (Robinson), grandmother is Helen Rebecca Dukes (your Aunt), and then up to Frederick Risher Dukes, Sr. Our family ended up in Memphis when Helen's husband, Ray Clifford Brown ("Papa") was transferred with the Anderson-Clayton cotton company. Mom was 14 and settled down in Memphis. I actually ended up attending UGA, of all places. What are the odds, huh ?

i have a great ancestor my GGGG Grandfather named James Dukes born 1832/33, he had a sister named Julia she was about 11 years younger and thier mother was also Julia born in ?? The father was Mathew C.Dukes 1805 in NC. Mathew and Jullia moved to GA. Had James and 7 other kids including Julia all were born in Ga. Later James and his brother Mathew M.Dukes went to Russle county AL. best I can tell Mathew married Mary/Mary Ann. Jullia could have followed her brothers to AL. I do not know the name of Mathew C. Dukes' parents (working on that now) but Mathew C. was born 1805 NC. I wonder if your Julia is my Julia that could be the sister. They all 3 men were in civil war. Mathew C. being 59 in 1864 joined up. Mathew M. was listed as killed in 1862 but turned up later. My (James)was killed at age 29 from combat wounds in 1861 in Chicago. Thankfully, his son Jhon (my GGG grandfather) was born in 1855 or I would not be here today.
Hope it Helps, would be neet if your Julia is my

Re: Joseph Dukes (1720-1800) of Orangeburg SC - Gravesite?

Lynn_Teague — 2011-02-03 12:24:03Z

The Joseph Dukes who lived in the Cattle Creek area and whose dates are sometimes given as those you list died by about 1768, before the Revolution. I don't think anyone knows where he was buried, although it is surely in the Cattle Creek area. The Cattle Creek campground is reached by driving east on Cattle Creek Rd. from Hwy. 21 between Rowesville and Branchville. The cemetery you mention is probably either the Archie Dukes cemetery or the Thomas Edmund Dukes cemetery. Joseph's sons Thomas and George Alexander Dukes fought in the Revolution, but not with Gen. Francis Marion. For more information on this family see http://bellsouthpwp.net/t/e/teague_l/Index.htm.

Hello, I am the great grand daughter of frances mae Williamson who was a full blooded Cherokee indian and lived in alabama. She married another Indian but I don't have his info. I will contact my aunt who would know. They had a child who was my grandmother Lula mae who settled in livings ton Alabama. At some point, the son was taken off of the williamson. Rumor was it was done to distinguish and try to eliminate slavery associations. Lula married a black man and they had 12 children of which on was my mother.
