Thanesmama1 — 2012-04-04 16:16:43Z

I note that you are doing research on the Elders in Coweta County, ex-slaves. My ancestors, Elias and Mary Stephens of Coweta County owned two slaves in the 1860 census, a male, age 17 and a female, age 12. Joseph and Rebecca Elder are near their names in the 1870 census, but their ages are 32 and 16 respectively. I am wondering about the possibility that Joseph might be one of those ex-slaves? I would appreciate any light that you might be able to shed on the matter.

William and Katie Persons Family in Arkansas

joannapersons — 2011-08-31 20:26:40Z

Hi!
I am pretty new to Ancestry, and I am trying to trace William Ellis Persons' (1903-1977) family. I have his parents, William Ellis Persons (1862-1926) and Katie D. Tiner (1874-1907), and his dad's mother, Eliza Jane "Elvira" Hill (1847-1894), but I cannot find anything that will give me his dad's name. This is as far back as I can get. I am also researching the Tiner family as well. Any help anyone could offer would be much appreciated as I am one of only two people researching this side.

Perry Lee Persons, b.1874, a lawyer, lived Lake Co., IL, son of Ranslure/Mary Persons

margerice1 — 2011-08-14 22:17:01Z

I have an original Cabinet Card photograph of “Perry Lee Persons – Waukegan Lodge 1906-1907”, which I’d like to get back to descendants or family members. He looks to be about 25-30 years old in the picture.

I found Perry L. Persons in the 1900 census for Waukegan (Lake Co.) IL, showing his birthdate Sep 1873 in IL, son of Mary O., a widow. In 1900, Perry’s occupation was “lawyer”. Ancestry OneWorldTree shows he was born 13 Sep 1874 in IL, son of Ranslure Clarke Persons and Mary Orintha Putnam. Perry married Nellie E. His WWI Draft Registration shows birth year was 1874. In 1918, his occupation was “judge”.

Get back to me at margerice@prodigy.net if you are related to Perry Lee Persons.

Martha D. Persons

JudithPaulin212 — 2011-04-22 17:26:40Z

I just found out that my mother Vivian C (Persons) Henley had a half sister named Martha D. Persons. Martha was b. abt. 1905 to William L. Persons and Effie (Weathers)Persons in New Hampshire. Effie was William's first wife. Martha lived in concord with her maternal grandmother, who ran some sort of private hospital,at least through her school years. Then I have tracked her to the Boston area. Would love to know what happened to her from there. My mother and her brother, H.Lloyd Persons have both died so I have reached a dead end. Any info on my aunt would be appreciated.

David C. Persons

GRANVILLE: A memorial service for David C. Persons will be held on Sunday, December 12, 2010 at 2:30 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church, 110 W. Broadway, Granville, Ohio with Rev. Thom Lamb officiating.

David died unexpectedly Tuesday, December 7, 2010 at his home in Granville, Ohio (Licking County).

He was born November 1, 1950 in Houston, Texas to the late John V. and Bernice (Fertsch) Persons.

A 1969 Mt. Gilead, Ohio High School graduate, David moved to Granville, Ohio in 1970 where he was employed as the opening Head Chef for the Buxton Inn in Granville until 1974.
He later moved to Hawaii where he furthered his career with Hyatt Regency. He received his certified chef's degree while in Waikiki.
In 1980, he returned to Central Ohio, opening the Hyatt Regency Columbus. Extremely gifted in his field, he went on to hold positions as executive chef and manager at the Rocky Fork Hunt and Country Club, Moundbuilder Country Club, and most recently, the Buckeye Lake Yacht Club.

A member of the First Presbyterian Church and long time member of the community, David was known by many to be a compassionate and creative person, who enjoyed photography, golfing and gardening. He loved the beach and sailing and always remembered his times, particularly in Hawaii, with great fondness.

David is survived by his daughters, Laura Kaitlin "Katie" and Molly Kristin Persons, of Granville, Ohio; sister, Sandra J. Williams of Raleigh, NC; and two brothers, John L. Persons of Bellingham, WA, and Charles C. Persons of Longview, Texas.

George E. Persons - Marion County, Iowa

pki15 — 2010-03-25 15:53:10Z

I am looking for any and all information on the following family:

George E. Persons b. abt. 1835 in New York married to Martha Ann Ellsworth on 19 Sep 1866 in Marion County, Iowa. Martha was born abt. 1848 in Iowa. Martha is supposed to have died around 1876 - I've read she was thrown from a wagon. They had at least 3 children:
George b. abt. 1868, Sarah Ann b. abt. 1869, Bertha b. October 31, 1875 in Knoxville, Marion, Iowa.

Bertha was adopted to James M. Snyder and Sarah Alley of Mercer, Missouri after Martha Ann died. Bertha went on to marry David William Reed, and she is my ancestor.

Martha may have been the daughter of Simon Ellsworth and Mary Ann Comptice. No leads on ancestry for George Persons or any idea what happened to him after Martha died.

PERSONS, Joseph Darius

ginapersons — 2010-02-07 19:54:49Z

Looking for the parents of Joseph Darius PERSONS, born 1838, Guernsey County, OH. He lived with George and Anna ALFRED in the 1850 census, Flushing Township, Belmont, OH. He is later found with the LOGAN family living near the ALFRED"S previous home. George ALFRED moved to Iowa prior to 1860.It appears Anna Alfred was in an infirmery.
Trying to discover the relationship(if any) to the ALFRED's and LOGAN'S.
Joseph married Sarah Jane ARNOLD and then Mary Kathryn VERMILLION. Thier children lived in Monroe, Harrison,Belmont,Tuscawaras, Stark Counties Ohio. Also KS, ILL and possibly Iowa.
John PERSONS was listed in the 1840 Londonderry TWP., Guernsey , OH Census. He lived next to Michael PARMER and George JONES. Joseph DECKER, John B. MOORE and Thomas BOND were also neighbors of John's.
Could John PERSONS be Joseph's father?

Correct to read:

Search for Father:
We have explored the possibility that JASON ADAMS NILES b. 19 Dec 1814 Hatley, Stanstead, Quebec, Canada (versus Burlington, VT) - d. 7 July 1894 Kosciusko, MS, was actually Jason Daniel NILES biological father; without any documented success to date.

ALMA PERSONS (or PARSONS) gave birth 18 April 1839 Stanstead County , QC

J_bar_E — 2010-01-12 23:34:09Z

Jason Daniel NILES b. 18 Apr. 1839 Stanstead, QC - d. 04 Oct. 1916 Charleston, VT

The 1850 US Census for Charleston, VT, tells us that JASON DANIEL NILES was residing with the Francis & Mary CHASE family at age 11 years.

The 1900 US Census for Charleston, VT, tells us that JASON DANIEL NILES, migrated to the USA from Canada in 1846 (i.e abt. age 7 years).

JASON DANIEL NILES death certificate at Charleston ,VT apparently says that his father was JASON (?) NILES, and that his mother was ALMA PERSONS.

Search for Father:
We have explored the possibility that JASON ADAMS NILES birth 19 Dec 1814 Burlington, VT - death 7 July 1894 Kosciusko, MS, was actually Jason Daniel NILES biological father; without any documented success to date.

However, a photographic facial feature comparision, reveals an uncanny striking resemblance.

JASON ADAMS NILES was apparently a son of DANIEL SWIFT (SWIT) NILES, who resided at HATLEY, STANSTEAD, QC.

Search for Mother:
To date we have found no record of the ALMA PERSONS listed on Jason Daniel NILES death certificate as being his biological mother; in either the Eastern Townships records in Stanstead County, Quebec, or in Orleans County, Vermont. (possibly PARSONS versus PERSONS)

Any leads appreciated.

Re: William & Uriah Persons (Sheldon, NY)

Adding to the previous message .... The Will of William PERSONS dated 1844, lists wife Polly, sons Andrew D., William E.; daughters Ruey Richardson and Alemeda Persons. I also have a (what I call a "Quit Clain") from the Supreme Court, Wyoming County, NY, dated Feb 20, 1899 for order of Publication. It lists about 3 pages of names (in two different formats), including my Great-grandmother Adelaide Brigham and your Ruey Richardson. It is 6 pages long, but very informative. I think they want to sell property in Wyoming Co and are listing all possible known heirs. Just for info!

Re: William & Uriah Persons (Sheldon, NY)

Beverly9292 — 2009-09-06 20:26:42Z

To clarify - Barb Durfee was not Co. Hist. but Sheldon Town Historian, NY; sorry about that. 2nd - The reason I felt William was son of Uriah is that he was born in PA, before Uriah came to NY, after leaving NJ. The copies of the Wills were received from another Persons researcher in 1997. The Will of Uriah PARSONS, Wyoming County, NY dated 11 Feb 183_, was Proved in Wyoming Co., NY Aurora, 20th day May 1842. The Will of William PERSONS of Sheldon, Wyoming Co., NY dated 7 Nov 1844, Proved 24 Feb 1845. Also included was the Abstract of the Will of Uriah PARSONS, dated 25 Jan 1810 copied from "Documents Relating to Colonial Revolution and Post-Revolution History of the State of New Jersey - Vol XII 1810-1813", listing sons Robert, Henry & Uriah; also daughter Unis Dalrymple and granddaughter Mary Herd, daughter of my daughter Liddy Herd des'cd. Hope this will help. Not proof positive as yet.

Re: William & Uriah Persons (Sheldon, NY)

Thank you so much for your reply. I will contact the current county historian. Also, from where did you obtain the 1833 and 1784 wills? On microfilm from the LDS Family History Library? or directly from the counties? Thanks again. J.B.

Re: William & Uriah Persons (Sheldon, NY)

Beverly9292 — 2009-09-02 16:52:29Z

My info on William Persons, b. 5 June 1784, PA came, mostly, from Barb Durfee, of Varysburg, NY, County Historian at the time. Since, I have obtained copies of the Wills (or abstracts) for Uriah Parsons (sic) and for William Persons. In Uriah's will, dated 11 Feb 1833 he lists sons John, Uriah, Hiram, Alonzo, WILLIAM, David, Elihu H., Charles James and Robert. In Will of William, dated 5 June 1784, Sheldon, Wyoming Co., NY. Since Uriah came to NY from NJ, then PA, then to Sheldon, NY, I have this William as his son with wife and children as you state.

I am one of Frank and Delma Harts Grand daughters and could possibly answer questions you may have regarding the family. I'm not sure what all you want to know, but I'm sure I could try to find the answers if you needed them. Feel free to contact me with any questions you have

Does anyone have any information on Enoch Persons? I've tried many places to look and have come up empty. Enoch married Lynda/Belinda Hubbard 1/15/1813. They had a son Enoch Collins Persons b. 1821 in Mass. They eventually settled and died in Kansas. I have a possible birth place as Sandisfield, CT, but not too sure about it.
Thank you for any information!
