My ancestor, John (wf Catherine) came to Albany, NY in the 1840's, from somewhere in Ireland. The Segrave family name is derived from the place in England in which they lived before coming to Ireland, before 1300. The original English settlers in Ireland who became known as Segrave were not actually related to one another, they were just people from the same town. Spellings include Sedgrave, Seagrave, Seagraves, Segraves, and a host of other possibilities. Always check for names beginning with "L" as I found one census for mine, under "Legrane."

I 'm hoping to find where in IRELAND he was born.

Re: SEGRAVES' in IRELAND

PatReilly1936 — 2010-04-25 20:13:48Z

My Segraves were in Albany, New York by the mid-1840's. Two of them died in the cholera pandemic of 1849; survivors include James, John, Christopher and William. Ann may have been their mother; I assume the Jhon who died in 1849 may have been the boys' father, and that the James who also died of cholera was also related. We never have had many Segraves in Albany. They were Catholic; pillars of the Irish Catholic church. I have lots on the history of Segraves in Ireland, through Cromwell, and have perused "The Segrave Family -1066-1936" at the New York Public Library. Some members of the family lived in New York City and Brooklyn, and I have been in contact with a relative there. She says John Segrave was born in New Barn, but I don't know the source of that info. I travelled to Ireland last year, and visited Ardee, where my Devine/O'Hara ancestors were born, but didn't know just where to look for the Segraves. Hard to connect between our two countries around the time of the Great Hunger. Maybe you can tell me what to do next. Thanks for listening. Pat

I was wondering if this line of Segrave settled in Virginia or in the New York area. If they settled in Virginia they could be my ancestors. However, we are having a hard time finding my G-G-Grandmother Malinda Segraves. I don't have any verified connection to The Isle of Wight Segraves. Except that is where Malinda was born.

My great grandmother, Catherine Donohue, married Thomas (son of John and Catherine) Segrave/Seagrave in Albany, NY. His parents had arrived here from Ireland by 1950. He was a tailor/cutter. Have you any info for me?

Pat O'Hara Reilly

Re: SEGRAVE FAMILY

PatReilly1936 — 2009-12-31 19:07:55Z

My Segrave branch came to NY around 1850. Most settled in Albany; some in Brooklyn; some lived in both places at different times. Most are buried in Albany. Some of the men were tailors. I have lots of info for Brooklyn and Albany; nothing solid in Ireland. Can we be connected to your Segrave/Seagrave family?

Local67Chilton — 2009-12-27 19:41:50Z

I am currently researching my ancestry and have drawn a blank beyond a distant relation (Christopher Segrave/Seagrave). His marriage certificate states his father as Michael Segrave but I am doubtful that this is the same Michael you list. However, I wondered if your reserdch had found a Christopher who moved to England possibly late 1860's to early 1871 (the first record I have found: Marriage and birth of daughter Bridget (to mother Mary Riley - possibly Reilley). It is possible he moved due to the iron industry and is listed as born in Kings Court Meath. Any information would be of use even if just to exclude any family connection for my research. Many thanks. Andrew Local (Chester-le-Street: County Durham, England)

Information that I have found shows that Sarah Ann Berkin was the wife of John Segrave.

Got any news on the Segrave of Oz (Australia)? or have we been banished as blaggers?

Re: John SEGRAVE - Excise Officer.

denise_cusick — 2006-12-12 19:52:15Z

John Segrave may have died before the 1841 census was taken. A correction to the original entry is that John was married to Sarah Ann (Unknown), & Sam,uel ,arried Mary Ann Bell in Australia. Samuel died 1901 in Melbourne Australia. An entry in the 1841 census indicates there nmay have been an elder son, Chaerles, born to John and Sarah Ann Segrave.Any further info about this family appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Bill,
Did anyone ever answer your question?
Anne O'Neil, daughter of Sir Neil O'Neil, baronet, married John Segrave of Little Cabragh, Dublin, Ireland, in about 1670.

Re: Henry John Segrave

2006-03-06 13:25:23Z

Thanks! I'll see if I can get my hands on one at the LDS. This may answer a few questions.

Re: Henry John Segrave

DeannaSeagraves47 — 2006-03-05 15:41:15Z

If you're still interested, I would strongly suggest getting your hands on a copy of Charles W. Segrave's book, The Segrave Family 1066 - 1936. He was the father of Sir Henry Segrave, of racing fame c. 1916, of the Dublin (Cabragh) Segrave branch. I believe the LDS library has one, and I know the New York Public Library has one. There are some private owners - I believe I saw an offer for a look up on a Segrave genealogy message board just yesterday.

Re: Parents of John Segrave

DeannaSeagraves47 — 2006-03-04 17:18:01Z

vb -
If you are still looking for the parents of John Segrave of Leicestershire, you can find practically the whole family tree in Burke's Peerage, Burke's Gentry, Burke's Landed Gentry in Ireland, etc. His parents were John de Segrave and Juliana Sandwic, his parents were John de Segrave (2nd Baron Segrave) and Christian Plessitis, and his parents were the very famous 1st Baron Segrave, Nicholas, and his wife Maud de Lucy. His parents are Gilbert de Segrave, Lord Segrave, and Ambilia de Chaucomb, and his parents are Stephen de Segrave and Rodesia de Spencer, and his parents are Gilbert de Segrave, Lord Segrave, and from here we don't have their wives names (they weren't considered to be important), but his father was Hereward, and his father was Hugh or Hugo, and his father was Thomas, who was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1080. Beyond that, is prehistory.

Re: Segrave family

DeannaSeagraves47 — 2006-03-04 17:06:08Z

Hi Sally,

I've been doing extensive research into the origins of the Southern Segrave/Seagraves family. Francis and Lucretia Segrave of Isle of Wight, VA and later NC are the earliest American ancestors of this line (they had quite a few children, and my branch is descended from their son William Powell Segrave).
If you go directly to the source, you will find in the King James's Army List by D'Alton (the source many of the others used, including Charles W. Segrave, although he misinterpreted what he read there) a little segment on Captain Francis Segrave, among some Segrave cousins, in Maurice Eustace's Infantry, who was attainted of his lands (had them confiscated by the crown) in Rosberry and Friarstown, County Kildare, in 1691. He shows up in Isle of Wight, VA, in the records in 1694. William Powell Segrave was born after that. Lucretia Powell shows up in the records in Isle of Wight, VA in the 1680s in the will of her father, Nathaniel Powell, and her mother, Lucretia, as one of his heirs, a descendant of the early Virginia governor family.
The spelling of the family name changed sometime shortly after William Powell's generation to the current Seagraves. If you Google the spelling Segrave you will be amazed at what you will find. And yes, that's us! (smile)

No one has yet located any emigration records, passenger records, or anything indicating where exactly Francis sailed from before arriving in Isle of Wight, Virginia. Likewise his parents and marriage have proved incredibly elusive, but we know from various sources that he is descended from the Segraves of Killeglan, County Meath, in Ireland, and they are descended by way of Sir Peter who was sent to Ireland (Burke's Peerage, etc.) in 1320 from the Barons Segrave in Leicestershire, England. Research is continuing!

John Henry Segrave Knights Templar sword

Margaret_Buchanan — 2005-10-31 17:27:37Z

I'm looking for any info on John Henry Segrave. I have a Masonic Knights Templar ceremonial sword with his name engraved on it. It's very elaborate and has an ivory handle. I think this is a post civil war sword since I discovered that the main sword manufacturer before the civil war was the Ames company.
The manufacturer of my sword was J. R. Pettis & Co. Troy, NY (engraved on back of sword blade). Some info that I found online: J.R. Pettis is listed in the 1866 Troy, New York City Directory under Hats, Caps and Furs at 374 River.
Any info about the sword or John Segrave would be helpful. I would be interested in finding any ancestors. Thanks!

Re: Parents of John Segrave

2004-07-07 15:34:07Z

Did you ever get a response to your email? I am just starting to research the Seagrave family of Arundel - but my Seagrave interest starts in late 1800's.

John Segrave whom you ask about is on a family tree that is printed in a tourist book that I purchased when I visited Arundel Castle in June 2004. It appears they had no sons and so Arundel Castle went to the Mobray family, then to Howard, and later Fitzalan-Howard.

John SEGRAVE - Excise Officer.

Denisecusick — 2004-04-12 14:10:46Z

When his son Samuel was baptised in 1830 in Essex John Segrave gave his occupation as "Excise Officer".By 1853 Samuel was in Australia, but I do not know if his parents emigrated too. Samuel was married to someone named Sarah Ann surname unknown.
Any information about John Segrave would be appreciated.
