Re: Losee/Losea

ThomasLosea1 — 2012-04-02 03:24:31Z

Jackie,

You have brought up several interesting thing. One is that in the 1850 Census my G Grandfather, Richard had an Amy Willets listed as age 78 with his family. I have not found anything more on her and always wondered who she was. Richard was married to Harriet Hinman so she wasn't a mother-in-law. May have been some other relative. I live in Casper, WY and have never been to Hempstead, LI, NY. I am 73 years old and was born in Belle Fourche, SD. My mother's family (Cock) ranched around there and had a general store until the depression when my maternal grandparents lost everything. They had all died before I was born. Now how did I become a Losea: My mother got a teaching degree (2 years back then) in Aberdeen, SD in about 1922. Somehow she ended up teaching on the east coast where she met my father. They were married in 1929. My father only had an 8th grade education but was an electrician in Hempstead. When the depression hit they went back to South Dakota to settle up my maternal grandparents estate. There wasn't a lot of work for electricians in South Dakota, back then, and my father worked a variety of jobs until his death in 1960 at age 69. I am the oldest of 3 children but was not born until 1938. My sister and brother are both deceased now. Another interesting thing about families was brought up when I met my wife in 1959. Her maiden name was Cox and I've traced her back to her 5th G Grandfather. They were from Missouri before coming to South Dakota. My mother had said that somewhere back in time I was probably related to my wife before we were married. There are several trees on Ancestry.com that are Cock/Cocks/Cox. I have bits and pieces of information from e-mails on the Losea/Losee line in a file folder. I really need to go through this file and try and organize it. I just found an old e-mail in the file from you dated July 2001. You had sent me the picture of William Kirk Hinman. In thumbing through this file (about as thick as an old Sears & Roubuck catalog) I found a copy of the "Queens Epicopal Church Record" which goes back to 1717. In 1827 Phebe Losee married Issac Willets. There might be my clue to the Willets. I don't know how to post documents. I don't even know how to look at your public tree on Ancestry.com. I have invited about 14 people as guests to my family tree (Losea/Cox) and a few people have invited me to theirs. One is the Petersen Family Tree. They live in Utah and gave me information on Richard Edgar Losea, Jr. married to Hannah Smith in Hempstead LI 27 Nov 1862. They are Mormans and performed proxy baptisms for Richard, Harriet, Richard, Jr., and Hanna Smith. I'm not a Morman so I don't understand all that. Through this thread they mention that we are probably related. I keep running across a Richard P. Losea in my files. Can't connect. At one time (June 1, 1999) I was in e-mail contact with a Pat & Richard (Rich) Losea in Norfolk, VA. Rich said his G Granfather, married Emma, was Henry Charles Losea, Father, Howard Charles Losea, married Ann Linskey, lives in the Northhampton MA area. It would be nice if we happened to live closer to each other as my file has grown to a point that would make it hard to post or e-mail it all and I'm sure that much of it is duplications of what you may already have. I would be glad to scan, and attach to an e-mail, anything that I have that you can use or want. I would need your e-mail address. Mine is thomas_losea@q.com. I noticed that there are about 34 querys and replies posted to the Losee message board. When we correspond do the others have access to our correspondence? I would hope they do as it might spark some additional interest.

jacqueline-dh — 2012-04-02 00:23:11Z

Hi Tom,
I'm not sure how much info you have on our families, so I am going to make a concerted effort to add all the Losea/Hinman line onto my public family tree on Ancestry where you will be able to access it. As to Christina, she is my 2nd cousin, Daniel's daughter. I haven't seen her for probably 35 or 40 years, when she was just a small child. My brother does see her father from time to time, however. You are right, Christina's line is Daniel, Raymond Jr., Raymond Sr. (who is my Great Grandfather), Samuel, Daniel (brother of Richard). Christina, Daniel, and Raymond Jr. were born in Providence, Rhode Island. All of the rest were born in Hempstead, NY.
The Hinman sisters, Harriet and Phebe, had a brother named William Kirk Hinman. I believe he is the "rich uncle" in the picture I have. The parents of these Hinmans were Harmon Hinman and Hester Kirk.
I also have a family Bible with some of the family info included. I will locate this, photocopy it and post it also.
As for the link you included in your reply to me, I found it interesting that many of the last names listed are first or middle names for many Losea family members such as Valentine, Sammis, Bedell, Willetts, DeMott, Titus and Townsend. I am certain that at least some of Daniel (1)'s family remained on Long Island until the very late 1800's and then came to Providence, RI. As far as your theory of both Richard and Daniel (1) having lines that include a William Hinman Losea, that may be so, though I cannot confirm or deny it.
Interestingly, my G G Grandparents, Samuel and Mary, had a daughter Florence b 1877 who moved from Providence, RI to Los Angeles, CA in about 1910. She moved there with her mother Mary, now a widow. Florence had been a victim of an explosion that occurred during a science class at college which ultimately caused her to become quite ill. It was believed that the CA climate might help her. Both Florence and Mary subsequently died in LA. Hmmmm, could their move to CA have been at the invitation of other Losea's already living there? Something to reseach....
I hope you don't find all this info boring or too confusing. I'll get all I can online shortly. By the way, I lived in Rhode Island all my life until 6 years ago when my husband and I moved to nearby Brooklyn, CT. Where do you live?

Re: Losee Losea

ThomasLosea1 — 2012-03-31 23:58:33Z

Jackie,
My family, as far back as my Great-Grandfather, Richard Edgar Losea, were all from Long Island, NY. On the 1850 census he is listed as a farmer. Also listed is a Daniel Losea, a farmer. Richard was married to Harriet Hinman and Daniel was married to Phebe Hinman. I'm guessing that these are brothers that married sisters. A few years ago I contacted a John Losea in California whose father was William Hinman Losea III. My father had a brother William Hinman Losea with a son William Hinman Losea, Jr. John also had information on William Hinman Losea II and I. There was no connection that we could find. I have a theory now that my Great-Grandfather Richard and Daniel Losea's families named sons William Hinman Losea which has produced two different threads. In reading the message boards I found one message that had a link to a website: http://rootsweb.com/~nynassa2/History/refugees.htm
This brought up a proclamation by many inhabitants of Long Island in 1776 where they left and went to the New England area. Some even went to Canada. There is a small Morman cemetary with several Losee grave sites near Red Canyon, within a few miles from Bryce Canyon, Utah. There was at one time a small settlement there called Loseeville. What I found so far was that those losee's came down from Canada. I have quite a few pictures of the cemetary and the graves. I am an amature at this searching but I try to make contact with as many others that have any information on the Losea/Losee line(s). Years ago, before I had a computer, I looked for the name in phone books when I travelled. I rarely found it but I did contact a woman in Massachusetts by the name of Christina Losea. She was related to a Raymond Losea. Haven't had any contact with her in years. I will keep the information you have sent. At the present time the pictures you have wouldn't be of much value to me as I don't have anybody to connect them to. If you post the story though it might be interesting. Thanks again for the reply.
Tom

Re: Losee Losea

jacqueline-dh — 2012-03-31 12:01:20Z

Tom,
Have you read where the name Losee/Losea was supposedly mutated over time from a Dutch name? This is assumed as our Loseas from Long Island did indeed immigrate here from Holland in the early 1600's. However, several years ago, I received a message from a man in Switzerland named Eric de Losea, who explained that the Loseas were Huguenants originating from Arles, France who departed (presumably, driven out) to various countries including Holland. This seems a more plausible theory. Do you know anything more about the origins of our family?
Also, I have a picture of "the rich uncle" Hinman, I can't think of his name right now, from Chicago. I also have a picture of my GG Grandfather Samuel Handy and his wife Mary Pine Handy and also my G Grandfather Raymond Losea, along with a very funny and interesting narrative about his fellow Army clerks during the Spanish American War. If you are interested in any of these, I would be glad to post them. If you also have pictures that you could share, I would love to see them. Thanks for renewing my interest in my Losea family line.

Re: Losee Losea

ThomasLosea1 — 2012-03-30 23:29:23Z

Thank you for your reply. I am also having the same trouble finding a connection to my great-grandfather, Richard Edgar Losea. Everything I have found stops there. I'm sure that if we could just find that one link we could connect with much more of the family. Thanks again!
Tom

Re: Losee Losea

jacqueline-dh — 2012-03-30 15:34:34Z

Yes, that is the info I have. We believe that Richard and Daniel are brothers (according to Richard Losea's will) and are married to Hinman sisters. I have info on Hinman ancestors, but I do not know who the parents of Richard and Daniel Losea are. Would you have that info? Thanks for the contact.

Re: Losee Losea

ThomasLosea1 — 2012-03-24 03:51:39Z

It has been awhile since I have been on this message board but I may have some new information that I didn't have several years ago. In looking at the 1850 Federal Census I found that my great-grandfather, Richard Edgar Losea and family, are listed just above Daniel Losea and family. Richard is married to Harriet Hinman and Daniel is married to Phebe Hinman. It appears there is about an 8 year age difference between Richard and Daniel. Both are farmers. I believe that Richard and Daniel are brothers and married sisters. If you have any updated information I would appreciate your reply.

Sally, I am researching my maternal grandmother's Lose family who apparently came to Hempstead, Long Island, NY, from Pennsylvania. I believe her father, William, immigrated to the US in 1880 from Russia. My mother thought they were Lithuanian. Has your research shed any light on these elusive relatives?

Carlton Losee

I am looking for information about a Carlton Losee who married my grandmother in the early 1900's. From what I could gather, he deserted his family sometime around 1915. Does anyone doing research of the Losee family in the New York area have a Carlton in their family tree?

I feel your pain. They are all tangled up and I am working on the line as well.I found something that I was not expecting a few weeks back, a burial list with lots of names. Now I am untangling it. The first names are important because it seems that these Dutch families kept some of the naming structure of the culture. I will let you know if I come across anything, we are on the same line cousin!

Re: Losee Oyster Bay, Bethpage, Farmingdale

K_Ulvin — 2010-09-15 23:16:21Z

Try looking online for maps of Revolutionary War, esp. Long Island. Granted, maps are of 1776, but not too far off of 1790. Interesting maps.
Very difficult to sort out the Losee family of Long Island. I am following the line of Simon and Margaret Losee who left Oyster Bay and settled in New Brunswick, Canada in 1783. But too many Cornelius and Pieter and Simons.
One Cornelius is married to G.Tilburgh and another is married to J.Pieters. Who is who??

Losee, Jonas & Zuba (?)

MargaretKnoess42 — 2010-08-19 05:00:12Z

I am looking for information for Jonas Losee b.ct.1763 in Long Island, Queens, NY. He married Zuba, madien name unknown, and she was baptised as an adult in 1795 in Gagetown. The only child I know of is my gtgtgrandmother Mary Jane "Polly", b. 1808. Simon Pieter and Margaret Bush are Jonas's parents.

Re: Schyler Losee

RobertAllan61 — 2010-07-23 22:26:52Z

I was looking through Ancestry.com and discovered your inquiry about Schyler Losee. I too, have a Losee in my family. My mother was Irene Losee. Her father was Henry Losee whose father was Schyler Losee. As far as I know, my Schyler Losee married a Mary (last name unknown) they had Edgar, Henry and Ida.

Henry Losee is my Grandfather. He married a Mary B. Klaes. They had Marie, John, Harvey and my mother Irene.

In the 1910 Census, Egdar was living with my Grandfather. (He would be Henry's brother).

It appears to me that we may have a connection. I had no idea that he (Schyler) was a train engineer (or in the Civil War).

I have quite a bit more information on Mary Klaes's family (my Grandmother).

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Re: Alanson Losee 1825, Alanson Losee 1830

stashapalmer — 2010-04-17 04:41:44Z

Hi there,
Yes we are thinking it is a family name as well. Once in a while I hit upon something that connects this Losee to the Greene area, but so far nothing solid.
Anything that connects the Hempstead Losee to the Greene Losee would be helpful to understand why they left the area and went elsewhere.
I wish I knew more about the name alanson!

Re: Alanson Losee 1825, Alanson Losee 1830

Re: Alanson Losee 1825, Alanson Losee 1830

Re: Losee and Noxon connection

saknopf — 2010-04-01 20:32:31Z

It is entirely possible that Catherine Knox and Gertrude Noxon are one and the same person. Many people"back in the olden days" seemed to have gone by names other that that which they were given. Possibly a middle name or even just a name they preferred to the one they were given. Knox and Noxon are very close especially when you realize that the people keeping the records spoke a different language (English)than the persons being recorded (Dutch).

Re: Losee and Noxon connection

mikemorr11s — 2010-03-20 19:03:02Z

Sandi,

I don't know the families involved, but Geertje is the Dutch equivalent of both Gertrude and Charity. If this Losee family is Dutch, it would be unusual, though not unheard of, for there to be daughters of both names in the same family. Depending on how familiar an individual was with Dutch names and their tendency to Anglicize, the name Geertje could easily be recorded either way.

Re: Joshua and Catherine Losee

alolejos — 2010-03-08 16:26:41Z

I am also researching William Soule/ Soules and Charity Losee. They had son Stephen and apparently also son Charles. What I'm wondering is which of William's wives (Charity or Gertrude) had which son or if there even were two wives. The earliest Canadian census is 1851 and by then Stephen was already in Wisconsin. Charles and Stephen both moved to Healdsburg, CA and Charles's son Cyrus E. Soule married Stephen's 1860 next door neighbor, Matilda Adaline Koger. I have also heard that Mary E Soules, one of Charles' daughters married a son of Stephen but have no proof. Does anyone?

Re: Losee and Noxon connection

alolejos — 2010-03-08 16:17:29Z

William Soule b. 1764 in Spencer Town, NY married Gertrude and or Charity Losee. Both families went to Canada as Loyalists. I'm trying to discover if there really were two Losee sisters who married William Soule and if so, which one was the mather of Charles and which one of Stephen. Thanks, Sandi

Re: Losee and Noxon connection

stashapalmer — 2010-03-08 00:00:06Z

Hi there,
I think you might be on the wrong board, I would place your query to the other boards in the last names you are listing (maybe you have already done this) and I would also put the names in the locality area of ancestry.com also place it in the Mayflower area! :)

In the listing you just gave, there is no connection listed to Losee, maybe find that connection and post it here so that we may all assist you in your search! Good luck....
Best,

Re: Losee and Noxon connection

alolejos — 2010-03-06 19:22:29Z

I have been tracing Cyrus Soule, son of Charles Soule and Lois/Louisa Brownherd. Charles apparently had a brother Stephen who moved west from Matilda, first to Dane, Christiana, Wisconsin by 1850 and then to Healdsburg, Sonoma, California. Charles' son Cyrus followed his uncle Stephen west, living in 1860 in Healdsburg as well. In 1860 the Koger family next door to Stephen Soule had a daughter Matilda who married Cyrus Soule. In 1873 Cyrus and Matilda Soule moved to southern California and homesteaded land in Nordhoff (Ojai) Ventura, CA. Cyrus died here and is buried here. Can anyone add to this data? I understand these Soules descend from the Mayflower's George Soule.

1.Peter Losee being the father of Jonas Losee, I cant seem to locate the siblings of Jonas.
2. Stephen, Richard James and Alanson are his sons, I cannot locate the records backing this up, any thoughts?
3. Is it true that Peter and Jonas were exiled to New Brunswick, Spring Fleet of 1783, or is that the 'other' Jonas and Peter Losee?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Simon Losee father of Peter and Jonas Losee who is father of Stephen Losee?

stashapalmer — 2010-02-28 05:12:08Z

I just saw your post and I cannot recall if we ever got in touch.

My issue is this:
Census from 1810 have Jonas and Peter Losee Locee from Oyster Bay, the next census is 1820 Queens (with no mention of exactly where) with my Stephen Losee Locee near Peter again, and Micah Post. The Bunker book, which is not totally reliable, has a bit of info about the Post Powell and Losee connection for Oyster Bay/Farmingdale and topmost side of Hempstead closets to Oyster Bay. I also have the maps and census that show the continual habitation on the farms which match the census of 1840, 1850, 1860 and 1870.
So there is no doubt that I am on the right path with keeping track of the Losee clan. Problem is that I cannot find the father of Jonas (I do not agree that he came down from Canada, it feels wrong). So I am on the thread of them all being locals from some Losee, Simon possibly? My other side is all Van Dusen and that was finally completed with the Van Deursen Book.
What other books can I look at besides the New York wills, Huff, Bunker, Dr. Peters, and Seaman?
Any help would be appreciated.

Added information -- Margaret Losee, daughter of Simon Losee and Margretje Koeck was born circa 1707 Wheatly, Long Island,NY - died 1759. She married Sampson Crocker 26 October 1730 Hempstead, L. I. They had seven children.

Margretje Koeck was born 15 October 1682 and bap. 19 November 1682 at Flatbush Dutch Reformed Church. She is the daughter of Laurens Cornelisz Koeck and Margariet Barends.

Margretje's sister, Marytie Koeck married Jan Losee (1st cousin of Simon Losee).

Losee family in New York to Ohio to Iowa and back to NY

NancyEllen8949 — 2010-01-13 04:13:12Z

Ezra Chase Losee son of John Losee b. 1797. Migration as follows: 1850 Enfield, Tompkins Co, NY; 1860 Morrow Co, Ohio; 1870 Des Moines, Polk Co, Iowa. 1880 Marilla (his wife) back in Elmira, NY. They had children: Mary b ca 1849 NY; Emma b. ca 1853 NY; Charles b. ca 1960 Ohio; Ida b. ca 1862 Ohio. John (his father) with him in all census. In 1880 Marilla says she is married but no Ezra lives with her, Charles and Ida. Do not find a cemetery record for John in Iowa nor Bloomfield, Morrow Co, OH area. Does anyone know what became of the older sisters and what their connection was to the Murray family of Moreau, NY?
Ezra was named heir when no other relatives of batchelor Hiram Murray 1806-1875 showed up at courthouse in Saratoga Springs for reading of will. There is some connection as in 1850 and 1860 they are right on same page to Hawley Murray who was Hirams brother.

As a matter of fact, I have just put the finishing touches on my latest edition of the Losee family. If I can keep my cat off my papers...and computer....I'd do a better job of check out your James. My family came through a Lawrence Losee, born in Dutchess County, married Polly Talmadge and moved to Clifton Park/Half Moon. His son George was my gandmother's father. George move to Illinois after the Civil War.

I don't see a James in my manuscript, but have you looked at Doherty's Settler's of the Beekman Patent? All the Losees in Saratoga I have run across orginiated in Dutchess County....and prior to that Kings, Oyster Bay and Breuklen.

Plus, my Losee cousin in Petaluma, CA has discovered a John Losee in Sonoma County, CA (1860s)who came from Saratoga County.

I'll do more digging in my stuff and see what I come up with.
