Re: Looking for info or Rochelle/Rachell variations

Sloan — 2011-03-07 17:57:25Z

The spelling of the name is varied- they used phonetics because many census takers, etc. wrote it down as it sounded or was pronounced. Don't go by spelling.

Re: Rochelles of nc sc

Sheronda295 — 2009-05-28 19:23:51Z

My grandmother was born in Union, SC but I believe Rochelle was her name that she took from a stepfather. In any event her maiden name was Vera Mooney (born June 4, 1930). Her mother's name was Sylvia Mooney from Union, SC and at some point there was a marriage or a birth to a Rochelle that hence lead to my entire family as I know it having Rochelle as a last name. Any information on the connection between Rochelle and Mooney or Rochelles from Union would be helpful. Thanks.

Thank you so much Sloan. I haven't checked out your web site in a while and all the new info you have on Etherington Rochelle fills me in on the other branch of Rochelle's living in MS. You are so kind to share it with everyone after all your hard work! If you like I can send you what I have on the Louisiana & Mississippi Rochelle's.

Thanks again,

God Bless.

Re: Mississippi Rochelles

pjhale76 — 2008-11-25 23:02:29Z

Thanks Salonje. He could very well be a son of one of the other brothers. There was a Philemon, William, Rufus, & a Robert but I'm not sure if any of them but Rufus stayed in Mississippi. My gg-grandfather went to Arkansas and then Louisiana. Would you mind given me a guess on the age of this Isaiah? I would like to see if I can find any info on him and I also know that there were at least one other branch of Rochelle's living in MS at that time. I really appreciate you answering my message. Have a great Thanksgiving!

Re: Mississippi Rochelles

salonje1 — 2008-11-25 22:43:53Z

Hello,

My name is Salonje Rochell and my grandmother is from Collins, Mississippi. She is the youngest of 12 children and we now reside in California. She married a man named Isaiah Rochell(e) [still a family debate on whether or not to spell our last names with the "e" on the end] and he died approx. 5 years ago. I believe he was a racially mixed man (Caucasian and Native American or something, my grandmother doesn't remember exactly) and he married my grandmother when she was very young, 21 years old to be exact. Since he died and was in jail for many years, I never got to speak with him about his parents and my grandmother doesn't remember (or claims she doesn't-traumatized I guess). He could very well be the son of one of John Thomas Rochelle's brothers. I hope this helps!

God Bless,

Salonje Rochell

Re: Rochelle

hagerdonngenealogy — 2008-04-05 18:39:25Z

The city of Rochelle NY is named for all the families that emigrated from the region around the port of Rochelle France. In all probability, Rochelle is not your fasmiy's real surname, it is in all probability some other French surname, Rochelle only signifies where they came from as in John Doe de la Rochelle. At some point in time in the 1800s some families dropped the Rochelle from their names while others Kept the rochelle and made the real surname a middle or family name, thus the difficukty in tracing lineage..

Re: Henry Rochelle

Richard_Rochelle — 2008-03-30 19:19:52Z

Doug,

Are you still checking these message boards? My grandfather, Henry (1895-1971), wrote a family history in the 60's--primarily a history of the Rochelle's and Hampils in Texas. His father, Joseph Edmond Rochelle (b. 1846 in Alsace-Lorraine) died in Texas in 1897. Is this your grandfather?! This Joseph Edmond Rochelle had three brothers-Felix, John and Pierre. Are you then related to Mitchell?

If any of the above rings true, please contact me as I have more details and would love to hear yours!

ROCHELLE, Mary Nickell

CooooCayemberg — 2007-04-24 19:45:42Z

The Leaf-Chronicle, Clarksville, TN, April 24, 2007
Mary Nickell Rochelle, 94, Guthrie, Ky., died Monday, April 23, 2007, at her home.

Graveside services will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday at Charles L. Nickell Memorial Cemetery, Centerville, with the Rev. Joseph Nickell officiating.

Burial will be in Charles L. Nickell Memorial Cemetery. Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. today at Cook-Webb Funeral Home.

Cook-Webb Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

Mary passed to her Savior and Lord Jesus Christ early Monday at her home in Guthrie, Ky. She was born in Lobelville, and raised at Sugar Creek in Centerville. She graduated from Centerville High School and attended Murray State University on a basketball scholarship in 1931. Mary began teaching in Hickman County in 1932. She married Alvis Rux Rochelle in 1934. Together they lived in Lebanon, Haydensville, Ky., and Elkton, Ky., but mostly in Guthrie, Ky.

Mary became a homemaker once she had Al Jr. and was always a wonderful supporter of her husband and family. She loved athletics and competition, but only after education. She was a member of First United Methodist Church for 50-plus years and active in the Guthrie Senior Citizens. Mary was proud of her basketball experiences from elementary through college, and was very honored to have her picture with her sister and Minnie Pearl admitted to the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame for display. Her favorite hobbies included going antiquing and to auctions. She also enjoyed card games, especially Rook. She cooked thousands of meals, but her family could eat these and thousands more. Some of Mary's specialties in the kitchen included: fried chicken, sweet corn, apple sauce, jams, pecan pie, fudge, caramel candy and canning.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Marvin and Sula Nickell; brothers, Paul Nickell, Hugh Nickell, Charlie Nickell, Marcus Nickell; and son, Charles Rochelle. She is survived by sons, Al (Myrna) Rochelle Jr. of Guthrie, Ky., and Marvin (Judy) Rochelle of Childersburg, Ala.; daughter, Rita (Jimmy) Carmichael of Jackson; daughter-in-law, Becky Rochelle of Clarksville; grandchildren, Russell (Debbie) Willis, Alvis (Amy) Rochelle III, Michael (Lori) Rochelle, Kelly (Chris) Nye, Collin (Andy) Barr, Travis Rochelle, Blake Rochelle, Katie (Nathaniel) Pedde, and Robert Rochelle; great-grandchildren, Claiborne Willis, Merritt Willis, Meredith Nye, Braden Nye, Billy Barr, Mia Rochelle, and Mary Kinsley Nye; brothers, Joe Nickell and Jim Nickell; sisters, Ann Reeves, Amy Graves, Christine McClanahan, Martha Kelsey; and numerous nieces and nephews.
