Re: Mary Trowbridge, b. 1745, married John Beecher

vchase1 — 2011-12-29 18:07:31Z

I have a reference about Mary in the "History of the Trowbridge Family in America",by F.B. Trowbridge, but it only lists that she was the daughter of William and Mehitable Blakesley Trowbridge and was married in 1766 to John Beecher of West Haven.
It lists on another page where Nathaniel Beecher married Abagail Trowbridge, in 1761, so this probably was a brother of John who married Abagail. If you will send your email to me I will try to send these pages to you, if you send your snail mail I will post them to you. Or if you have a library with genealogy materials they might have the book and you can see for yourself the pages are 126 and 128.

Mary Trowbridge, b. 1745, married John Beecher

dhallqui1 — 2011-12-28 22:05:23Z

I am looking for information regarding Mary Trowbridge, born 1745, married to John Beecher, and was the mother of Nathaniel Beecher, born 1767. I believe they lived in the New Haven, CT area, though I am not completely sure. She is a relative of Harriet Beecher (Stowe). I can try to provide more info upon request. And info would be appreciated!!!

Re: Trowbridge, Kenneth & Rick

vchase_1 — 2011-07-04 16:47:43Z

I could find no thread in the History of The Trowbridge Family in America for John Francis Trowbridge and Anna Pearl Tate. The book was published in 1908 and compiled much earlier than that. So really your inquiry was for after it was written. There were 3 John Frances Trowbridges listed with birth dates of 1852, 1858, & 1867. None of them had a thread of info for your John Frances. Sorry I coouldn't help you.

Trowbridge, Kenneth & Rick

tfalk42 — 2011-07-02 19:03:13Z

Hello!

Looking for any info on Kenneth & Rick Trowbridge. Rick was born to Roscoe Ward & Doris (Brattain) Kellar around 1952; Kenneth was his stepfather. Kenneth was born to John Francis Trowbridge & Anna Pearl Tate on June 14th, 1912 in Stetler, Alberta, Canada, and died June 7th 1959 in Seattle, Washington. Doris and Kenneth were married for less than a year when Kenneth died.

Rick is my uncle, but does not know it; my mother (Janice Aletha Cartwright) was given up for adoption 1-2 years before he was born.

If you are looking to identify the photos, I would suggest contacting the young lady who commented that she used to visit her aunt or great aunt Evelyn. She was able to identify the large photo and I think she identified the smaller ones as well. I was going to send her these photos. I don't recall now if I did or not. But she knew who at least some of the people were.

Thanks for sharing. Is there any info I may have that you would be interested in? If you go to University of Wisconsin's website they did a archeological dig at this homestead in Racine county Wisconsin. They supposedly did a report on it and I have been trying to contact someone to get a copy of that too. I will put you on my contact list if you would like, so when I find things I can forward info to you? Just let me know.
Thanks again

I have The History of the Trowbridge Family in America, It states that John T. Trowbridge & Co was the name of his company. It also states that he had an interest in the Erie Canal and owned or controlled about eighteen vessels on the Lakes, and was called the "Commodore of the Lakes" It is quite and interesting article and if you have not seen this, If you will contact me, I will mail the page from the book. vchase@earthlink.net

Re: Mabel Trowbridge

ancient_oak — 2010-12-12 02:02:47Z

I sense that there were two Mabel Trowbridges. It seems your Mabel Trowbridge is not my Mabel Jarrard Trowbridge.

My Mabel's maiden name was JARRARD, daughter of William JARRARD and Louisa, born about 1888 New York (Washington County, Fort Edward?) where she shows up in 1900 and 1910. She settled in Reeds Ferry, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire. She married a Ralph Trowbridge.

Hi,

I'm afraid that I have done no research on the Trowbridge name. Sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck!

Re: Mabel Trowbridge (mine from Hudson Valley from NYC to Montreal; r NH)

I'm researching a first-cousin Mabel H. Trowbridge nee Jarrard b abt 1888 Hudson Valley, New York State (from Montreal to New York City incl New Jersey). Dau of William Jarrard and Louisa/Louise. Marr a Ralph Trowbridge. In 1941, Mabel was located in Reeds Ferry, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, south of Manchester.

TROWBRIDGE-WHEELER, Wilton, Conn>New Milford, Conn>Ohio

gilhamp_1 — 2010-10-15 19:44:24Z

Looking for help in identifying the parents of my 5th
Ggrandmother, PARNELL WHEELER(b.1760, Wilton, Conn.
d.1847, Palmyra, Ohio)
She married EBENEZER TROWBRIDGE on March 10, 1779
in New Milford, Conn., Judge BUSHNELL BOSTWICK officiating.

EBENEZER TROWBRIDGE(b. 1757, Wilton, Conn.,d.1836, Edinburg,
Ohio) was a Revolutionary War vet (5th Connecticut Line).

Both EBENEZER and PARNELL were born in Wilton but married in New Milford as both families were clearly part of the upward migration through the Connecticut River valley.
EBENEZER and PARNELL moved to Ohio in 1815, eventually settling in Palmyra, Ohio.

Is anyone aware of PARNELL'S parents-a WHEELER family that started in Wilton but moved to New Milford?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I see there is an Amanda Trowbridge in the Ohio death index, death date Sep 11 1918, Fulton Cty, Ohio. It doesn't list age or cause of death. I don't know if this is the Amanda you're looking for.
Don't see Eva beyond 1910, so maybe she remarried.

Believe Oliver Trowbridge b 9-9-1877 and d 12-31-1929. Wondering what happened to daughter Amanda and and whereabouts of mother, Eva nee Poland. Eva and Amanda are on my side of the family. I know Amanda was living with Olivers parents in 1910 and Oliver and Eva have separated.

Re: trowbridge

vchase1 — 2010-08-07 14:29:54Z

It would help if you could give Oliver Trowbridge date of birth. My book had many Olivers listed, too many to look up for your inquiry. Please send more data if you have it.

Do you know what year George Trowbridge was born? I have a Trowbridge genealogy book which is a history of the Trowbridge family in America. There are dozens of George Trowbridges listed. It would narrow the search if I knew a birth date.

Hello,

I have Trowbridge ancestors from NW OHIO. The earliest being William (Sarah Leverton) Trowbridge. He died in 1888. They had 3 girls and then 2 boys: George (Barbara) and Cyrus (Helen). Any association there? On the census it says his parents were born in England. I'd appreciate any help.

Thank you,

Sharon
