Thanks for your reply. I hope you can get somewhere with your search as well.I've got a 4xgreat granfather from England, William Essery that I cannot find any thing about there, either. Good luck!

Hi, can't really help you on your family search, but I am doing the same thing here in England, and my dad's name is David Filkins, son of Frederick Filkins, unfortunately he can't remember his grandparents names, so my search is extremely limited... hope you get on much better.

You stated "The Kitchens never talked about their ancestry, unlike my mother" Who was your mother? I don't have this information. and could your provide a marriage date & place for me for them. Also could you give me your fathers birth location.

So if I understand correctly you would like information on the "Kitchen" and the "Filkens" & "Curtis" and second wife "Grace Washers".

What information would you like? Ask away!!! I'll help if I can, and research if needed. As I'm a volunteer for our local Lapeer County Genealogy Society. So again ask away.

I still live in Lapeer County, and grew up in Imlay City.

Re: FILKINS - NY / Michigan

jtodter — 2011-02-14 21:31:48Z

I've just found this post. I'm completely new to these searches - have only just begun. My paternal grandmother was Rachel Filkins, born 22 June 1898, and I believe in Imlay City! She married Kirtland K Kitchen and lived in Grayling, Mi, where I was born. She had two sons, Martin Ray Kitchen, b 13 April 1931, and James, b ?? (younger than my father Martin). She died on 27 April 1976 and is buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Grayling alongside my grandfather Kirt Kitchen.

This is fantastic! The Kitchens never talked about their ancestry, unlike my mother's side of the family, and I've decided it's time to find out more.

So, let me know if I don't have this right: Rachel's parents were Orson Ray Filkins Jr and Irene Avis Curtis (who died when Rachel was 1). Rodney was her half-brother, and another, Frances B. I assume Frances was a female..? I do recall whispering in the family alluding to a lesbian sister - perhaps this was Frances. Fine with me.

I am very happy to find this info and am sparked to continue. BTW, I am Julie Ann Kitchen Todter, born 16 October 1953 in Grayling, Mi. I have been living in Australia since 1979.

RJ_Samp — 2010-12-11 18:46:28Z

Thanks for the genealogy sheet on Stanley predecessors, wonderful.

Am researching Louise Florence Chamberlain, she doesn't seem to have any known parents.

Also tieing down Julia Houghton.

Dexter Filkins (Stanley's\Louise's first born) marries two unknown parental line women:

Anna Wilson out of possibly Albany NY 1844.

Harriet Bayne\Bane who apparently is born in 1845? in New York and has two of Dexter's son's at an early age (don't think so).

A clue here... Stanley Filkins is listed TWICE in the 1860 US Census, the 2nd time he's in Ridgeway, Orleans, NY (north of Medina) as a Counsellor at Law living with Nancy J L Bane. hmmmm, wonder if this is maybe an Aunt Nancy after Stanley's son Dexter marries Harriett Bane???

Any information on these 4 women and WHY Dexter Filkins moved to Livingston MI is much appreciated.

First wife: Louise Florence Chamberlain m. 1872 , 2 daughters?

Civil War Veteran George S. FILKINS (1838-1917) - Monroe Co., NY

rubyofoz — 2010-04-09 03:02:33Z

I'm researching George S. Filkins for my Civil War soldiers of Monroe County, NY project.

George S. Filkins was born in Fairport, NY in 1838. He was the fourth of Isaac and Catherine Southworth Filkins' five children. His siblings include Thomas, Isaac Jr., Jacob and Mary. George enlisted in the 13th NY Infantry during the Civil War.

He married Ada Benedict, with whom he had two children - Allen and Ernest. After Ada's death in 1878, George wed Mary White and three children were born to them - Anna, Clarence and Howard. They raised their family in Fairport, NY.

I've found census and military records for George Filkins. Would love to find out more about the Filkins family and fill in some blanks on the family tree. Please feel free to leave a message on my Illuminated History blog, www.illumhistory.wordpress.com, or email me directly at vprofitt@rochester.rr.com. Thanks!

Do you have any old photos from Leadville?

I have some unidentified photos of persons who lived at Leadville during roughly 1890’s to 1900’s.

Would you be kind to check if you can find any match between your photos and my photos or you might have information about some of the persons on my photos? My unidentified photos are published at the Internet page

Orson Henry Filkins married Harriet Calkins, not sure but think in Oswego, New York.
1860 Census, lists Orson is living with his mother now married to Roswell Calkins in Richland, Oswego, NY.
He then moves to Michigan where a daughter Dorothy(Dora)was born in 1865. His next child a son is from my line. Orson Raymond Filkins born 14 Dec 1874 in Imlay City, Lapeer Co., Michigan. Other children were Roswell born 24 Oct 1878 and Charles Henry born 25 Oct 1879 both born in Imlay City, MI.
Have not been able to find the 1870 Census, but have the 1880 Census where this family is living in Imlay City, MI. All four of Orson & Harriet's children are listed. In the 1900 Census, still in Imlay Ciy, MI; Orson Sr & Harriet are living on 5th Street, Imlay City, MI with them is his son Orson Jr a widow with a child Rachel b 22 June 1898 Imlay City, MI (her mother was Irene Avis Curtis died 14 July 1899, Lapeer Co., MI).

Orson Ray marries again this time into my line Grayce Washer of Imlay City, MI. 1920 Census Bay City, MI children, Rachael 21, Rodney 16 (05 Jul 1903 Grayling, MI).
But I know that their was another child, Frances B. born abt 1922 according to the 1930 Census where they are living in Lansing, Ingham Co., MI.

If anyone finds a connection please contact me. I would like to find more information on this line.

My great grandmothers name was Cora Filkins. She was born in 1881. Her maiden name was Cora Fonda. I think her husbands name was Irving (but not sure of it).

According to the Montomgery County archives, there were some Filkins who lived in Fort Hunter (outside of Amsterdam) as well as in Amsterdam.

Re: Filkins Amsterdam

I have discovered that my Great Grandfathers name was Myron Filkins. He was born in 1874 and died in 1956. He is buried in the Hagaman Mills Cemetery. He was married to my Great Grandmother, Cora Fonda Filkins. They were never divorced, but had separated from each other. I believe that his father was also a Myron Filkins and is also buried in Hagaman.

Seeing ancestry of Mary Ann FILKINS. She was born 8 Nov 1824 in New York; married Levi SPAFFORD 4 Sep 1842; she died 17 Oct 1875 at Chester, Eaton county, Michigan.

She is said to be the daughter of John and Polly (LARABEE) FILKINS, but I have no proof.

The family of Levi and Mary Ann (FILKINS) SPAFFORD appears in the 1850 New York census, Oneida county, town of Vernon, page 74.

Listed on the same census page are two FILKINS families:

John FILKINS, age 62, mason; Rebecca, age 38; Daniel, age 13,; and John, age 7. All in this family are shown as "paupers."

James FILKINS, age 41, laborer; Sally Ann, age 40; James, age 17; Amy, age 14 and Louisa, age 6.

A special New York census in 1855, shows these SPAFFORD and FILKINS families no longer lived in Vernon.

Are John FILKINS and James FILKINS respectively the father and brother of my Mary Ann FILKINS?

FILKINS Photo Album

2006-06-17 22:53:06Z

I bought an old family photo album at a garage sale. The inside cover says "Merry Christmas From John H. Swart to Mrs. H. Filkins, Dec 25th 1894". There are many great old pictures in it. Sadly, nearly all are unmarked. The photographers, for the most part, were located in Saratoga Springs & Schenectady, NY. Names mentioned: William P. Filkins, Henrietta, Warren, Will, Florence, Daniel, Merril, Elmon, George Arthur, Darrel, Marion, Alice & Laurel. Also, Alvin Lorenzo Spitzer, Jr. & Alina Palmater.
Part of this family lived in North Dakota as noted on one of the pictures. If this is your family, email me (pboszor@yahoo.com). I would like to see the album returned to the family.

I just recently traced a line of my family on my Mom's side to the town of Halfmoon (or Half Moon as it was called in the 1700-1800s) in Saratoga County, N.Y. These may be some of my relatives, since Saratoga Springs and Schenectady would have been the nearest cities with photographers. Do you still have this book?
