Division II data

provisional table - subject to change without notice Oct 2005

The Sussex County, New Jersey, Corson Family: DIVISION II

Johannes Coursen (of Fredon, New Jersey), his nine sons, and their children are listed below with information about their dates and where they lived as adults. The table will be improved and extended to other members of the Division II family as time, interest, and effort allow.

The reason for posting the information is to establish a central site to which researchers can direct their comments, criticisms, and recommendations. Please send them to the undersigned. We hope the opportunity will encourage you and others to move the 300+ Project forward.

Readers are cautioned that everything about this table is incomplete, temporary, provisional, unchecked, and subject to change, including the identifying numbers. Appropriate changes will be made freely and without notice, and posted here from time to time. We have “holes” in the data, we have entries that lack confirmation, and we need supportive documentation (including photographs and copies of records) - which you are invited to submit.

DO NOT COPY THE FILE AS IF IT WERE A COMPLETED, CHECKED, AND DOCUMENTED RECORD. IT ISN’T. It is replete with errors, and accordingly should be used only with great caution.

Although the table incorporates information from many sources, only slight effort has been made so far to cite those sources in general or to identify which source contributes a specific fact. A further reason for the current posting, therefore, is to encourage specific citations and supporting documentation in the months ahead.

Identifying Numbers: Entries are identified according to the Henry system, which assigns numbers in birth order. Large families use a hexadecimal notation in which A = tenth birth, B = eleventh, etc. Numbering in this table begins arbitrarily with a 7 for Jacobus Corsen because we read in Three Hundred Years… by Orville Corson that Jacobus was the seventh child in his family (vol.1, p.11):

m: (23 Mar 1829 Brooklyn NY) Aaron Marsh

(8 Jul 1802-1 Oct 1863 @ Brooklyn NY)

Notes:

The uncertain birth dates for Gershom and Sarah could affect the birth order (and numbering). Woodruff and most other sources use 1795 for Gershom’s birth; the earlier date here is derived from his grave marker at the Yellow Frame Presbyterian Church (Genealogical Magazine ofNew Jersey, Volumes 33 and 34, 1958 and 1959 ): He died Aug. 19, 1821, aged 31y, 2m, 4d; the timing of births is also more reasonable. Most sources use 1797 for Sarah’s birth. Eliza seems to have been the baby of the family, in any event.

We would expect to see an 1850 census record for Sarah and Richard Stillwell, but one was not recorded in Sussex Co or in Warren Co.

Not all sources include Eliza.Coursen as a member of the family. The Brooklyn NY 1860 census shows entries for Eliza and Aaron Marsh, as might be expected, but the age given there for her is too young by a decade or more. However, Aaron is credited with a succession of wives: Joanna M. Price Catherine O. Price and Eliza B. Freeman - the last of whom is probably the one shown in the 1860 census report. Further research is needed to clarify the facts.

Note for descendants of #7145 Isaac Ventile Coursen:

Joseph H. Coursen obituary of 1901 refers to 11 brothers and 3 sisters; if correct, then one brother is missing from the foregoing history. Orville Corson points to “Elisha Coursen” as a possibility (p.13) but no evidence is offered.

FOURTH GENERATION - #715: Peter Corsen

Family of Peter Coursen/Corsen See Corson Cousins, 2002-2004

The following order could change if more information can be located.

For example, there are differing opinions about when Jane was born:

Peter Corsen's Children (numbering revised from Orville)

7151 Elizabeth Corson (c.1777 - 16 Feb 1835)

7152 Abraham Corson (c.1779 - 2 Jul 1851)

7153 Isaac Corson (c.1781 - 29 Oct 1847)

7154 Jacob Corson (Mar 1783 - 23 Dec 1842)

7155 John Corson (5 Feb 1788 - 16 Apr 1842)

7156 Jane Corson (3 Jul 1789[5] - 1854 )

7157 Ann Corson (c.1790[1789] - 1860)

7158 Mary Corson (c.1793 [1791] - ? )

7159 Peter Corson (c.1795[1793] - c.1847)

The first four children must have been born in NJ, before the family moved to PA, although some census reports do show PA. All the children were established in their own households by 1830 and perhaps as early as 1820.

The children of Jamima (Morris) and Abraham CORSON

Uncertainties about birthdates persist for the three middle girls in particular. Another child is always a possibility, especially between Benjamin and Charles; Jane CORSON (2 May 1829 - 5 May 1829) has been suggested and seems plausible, although she is not buried with her siblings.

BIOGRAPHIES and BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES

(listed by identification number)

General Note: Most events (other than exact dates) from 1850 on have been confirmed at least in part through US census records. The same is frequently true for events prior to 1850 if they can be projected backwards from 1850 or later census records. In general, census references have not be individually noted, although notations have often been added when a person moved or something else unusual happened, to make it easier to relocate the record..

Sussex County marriage record transcription uses Aaron Courson in place of Allen.Coursen

Allen Cousen will was filed 31 Jan 1816, and the recording of it gives 6 Dec 1815 for his death (although another source uses 12 Jul 1816). It seems likely that the second marriage (6 Jul 1816 to Mathias Snook) of his widow Charity (Cummins) Coursen took place after Allen died:

COURSON, Allen of Hardwick. 1493S - W. 6 Dec 1815; Filed 31 Jan 1816. Wife: Charity. Sons: John Cummins COURSON and William Nixon COURSON. Others: Father-in-law, Matthias CUMMINS. Executors: Wife Charity and f-n-l, Mathias CUMMINS. Witnesses: Joseph J. ROY, Samuel F. CLARK and Peter SMITH.

Family data from 1880 census, Wilkes Barre, Luzerne PA. Did not locate 1870 census record, which might have shown more children, although Esther Read’s site agrees. In 1880 Andrew (shown as A. J.) Was a retail grocer. In 1860 he apparently was single and a merchant in California, Eldorado, George Twp, although the age given in the census (where he was listed as A. Courson) is inconsistent. “Andrew married his second cousin once removed, Sarah Elizabeth Howell (born by 1839), the daughter of Levi HOWELL and Sarah Margaret LUSE, and granddaughter of Elizabeth READ and Aaron LUSE. Andrew and Sarah migrated to Luzerne County in the mid-1800s.” Esther Doyle Read also gives data for Andrew’s grandchildren.

71212s

Esther Read: “SARAH ELIZABETH HOWELL, was born 1839 and died unknown, probably in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. According to Howell and Phethean (2000:107), she was possibly raised by her grandparents after her mother's death in 1839, as she does not appear on the 1850 census in Levi Howell's household. If she was raised by her grandparents, it was her paternal grandparents. She does not appear in the household of her maternal grandmother Elizabeth Luse on the 1850 United States Federal Census for Warren County, New Jersey (page 488).

Marshall was with his mother (Hannah) in 1860 NJ census, but on his own in 1870 Freilinghuysen/Vienna NJ (not to be confused with a similar name in Kingsville, Ashtabula OH census records

William Sharp was the son of ISAAC SHARP and MARTHA MARIA LUSE; the grandson of AARON LUSE and ELIZABETH READ, And the great-grandson of ISAAC READ, Sr. and MARY SHACKLETON. William was born in 1834, in Warren County, New Jersey, probably in the vicinity of Johnsonburg in Frelinghuysen Township. He married his second cousin once removed, NANCY COURSEN, on 10 December 1855 in Warren County. Nancy was the daughter of JACOB L. COURSEN and HANNAH READ and the granddaughter of JOHN READ and ELIZABETH OGDEN. Isaac Read, Sr. and John Read were brothers.

Annie M. Hoagland, Johnsonburg [Mrs. Harvey Coursen, Marksboro] was a student at Blair Academy during the 1875-1883 period: Cit.21

Kern (1938) gives Anna's name in 1930 as Anna M. Lyon. She resided in Greenville, New Jersey. Evidently she remarried after Jacob's death.

Frank L. Coursen, Marksboro, was a student at Blair Academy during the 1893-1898 period: Cit.21

They lived in Blairstown, Warren Co NJ and later in West Pittston and Dallas, Luzerne Co PA. He died in Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania. Frank was the owner of Coursen Hardware Company in Pittston, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. He was the first president of the Greater Pittston Chamber of Commerce. He was a member of Tunkhonnock Presbyterian Church.

Morris M. Coursen. Census entry 1900 PA may appear as Corsson or Crosson; if so he was widowed.

71242.3

The information for Sidney Coursen is tenuous. The 1850 census indicates b: 1835; but a careful search of later census records finds no further record for Sidna or Sidney, leading to the belief that he died. It is reasonable to conclude that the following (ascribed to him) are incorrect, especially inasmuch as Miner Coursen seems likely to have been #71242.73, the son of Jacob Coursen, Jr.:

-. Miner Clifford Coursen (1872 OH - )

-. Eugene J. Coursen

71242.4

James A. Coursen appears to have been stationery engineer, North ShenagoTwp 1871, according to one roll.

71242.41

Two Fred Coursens appear in the records as born July 1869. The son of James A. Coursen was born in Pennsylvania; the son of Jacob Coursen, Jr (#71242.7) was born in Ohio and does not appear to have lived long. There is only one Fred Coursen in the 1880 census, and he was with his father James. It is possible, however, that some confusion exists in the records.

71242.41s

Musa [Musie]’s maiden name is believed to be Butler because Rich J. Butler, 35 OH, brother in law, appears with Fred W Coursen family in 1910 census.

71242.412

Donald B. Coursen was in household of brother James for the 1920 census.

71242.42

Charles H.[W] Coursen was enumerated with Fred W. Coursen family in 1920 census, as “brother”

71242.43

Ernest Coursen appers with his parents in the 1880 Crawford co PA census, but a search of later census records did not turn up a further instance

71242.5

Margaret Jane Coursen was found in the 1850 census, but not in 1860 or later. Did she marry. Are there further data?

71242.7

Jacob Coursen Jr is reported to have married Mary __ (1850 PA - >1870 OH), and they had a son Fred Coursen (1869 OH - ) (q.v.); but the 1880 census seems to show a second family, with younger Dora for his wife.

Son Fred F with Jacob Jr and Mary in 1970 census, born Jul 1869 in Ohio; but there is no comparable Fred from OH in the 1880 census, and only Fred PA shows up in later years as well. We conclude that Jacob’s son was real but died prior to 1880 - or shifted between brothers? - or counted twice?

71242.8

Amanda Coursen (1851 PA - >1870 OH). Is that all there is, or did she marry and have a family? More data?

71244

Sidney B. Harriott died in 1857 and is buried in Espyville PA; his widow accompanied her people westward and is buried at French Grove IL” (Cit.5) (Cit.18). She appears in 1860 PA census in Espyville PA. She appears (indexed as Harnott) in 1870 Peoria co/Brimfield IL census, together with children shown in main listing. Did not locate any of them in 1880 or later census reports. She reported buried in French Grove IL Cemetery. Lookup request (10/2005) confirms much of the data including the several dates of death reported in this section; the response also supplied baptismal and membership data from the Presbyterian Church of French Grove. French Grove Cemetery is located in Peoria County about half way between Peoria and Galesburg. Cornelia Oakes apparently was the daughter of William and Robah Oakes. Several others were baptised at the same time as Blanche Herriott: surnames Reed, Hill, and Oakes

7125 Rebecca Coursen 1786

7126 Elizabeth Coursen 1788

Although the 1850 Sussex Co NJ census leads to an identification of Stephen (a cooper) and Elizabeth (Coursen) Emmons that is plausible and probable, the census data alone is insufficient to establish relationships with others listed in the several households. In 1870 she is found in the company of McCollum family members, presumably descendants of relatives by her mother’s third marriage. An alternative identification that she married a Cummins does not appear to be valid.

7127 Peggy Coursen 1791

Richard COURSEN and Elizabeth Van CAMPEN are reported to have had 5 children: names not identified

712C Abigail S. Coursen 30 Jan 1800

Abigail married Samson H. ALBERTSON, son of Rev. Nicholas ALBERTSON and Jane Albertson HOWELL, on 20 Oct 1825. Snell: Albertson of Independence Twp.

712C1

One source credits Garrett Albertson and his second wife with another son, William Albertson, early in their marriage. However this is not possible because the 1900 census says Margaret had 8 children, and William would have made nine. Garrett’s first wife, Amanda, could have had a second child William, although there is no later record of it; if so, the birth must have been about 1854 and the child must have died shortly after birth, possibly at the same time as Amanda. The present genealogy does not include William.

712C2

Mary Jane Albertson does not appear in the 1850 census with her father and siblings, but the tie is evidenced with the naming of her first son, Albertson S. Potter. Mary Jane and Warren probably married in 1850; they do not appear anywhere in the 1850 census for Warren and Sussex counties

Benjamin Coursen and wife appear in Minisink Church records, to baptize or dedicate a baby. Snell reports that he had sold all property in Fredon by 1778.

Cit.33: Woodruff: [p.115]

Of BENJAMIN it is only known that on Oct. 15^th of the year of his father's death he conveyed (deed with Hon. W. P. Coursen) part of his inherited lands to William Scholey, and that by sheriff's deed this reached Casper Shaver's estate in 1774, and by his heirs was conveyed back to John Coursen III [son of Jacob Coursen] on Jan. 14, 1793 (T., AK-463); and that on Jun 20, 1778, Benjamin released to his brother John his share of 180 acres of other inherited lands (deed with Hon.

Mary Green was the daughter of Ephraim and Elizabeth (Kerr) Green , Green Twp, Sussex Co NJ: Cit.18.

Elizabeth’s brother, William Hampton Kerr, married Mary “Polly” Goble (daughter of Gershom and Ann (Roy) Goble), and they had six children; when he died, Mary remarried, this time to Isaac Coursen #712. Elsie Kerr, one of the six Kerr children, married either Gershom Coursen or Gershom Goble - which remains to be determined.

Ephraim Green Coursen, active member Lackawanna Historical Society (Scranton PA) about 1930: Cit.3

Shafer/Green Family: Cit.25. Snell: 1824 - E. G. Coursen and Wm Green had a store, tannery and shoe making shop in Greensville. Sold shoes & boots throughout county. Wm Hibler, Rober Swarts, J. P. Stackhouse were apprentices in the shoe shop and J. B. Stinson became journeyman. P. 433. They leased tanyard to Francis A. Stackhouse. The house in which E. G.

1880 census report shows George and Caroline (Higbie) Coursen in a household with Henry Higbee (56), Eliza w. Higbee (43), and their daughter Charlotte Higbee (8); thus Henry is a candidate brother of Caroline.

71413.3

George H. Coursen appears in the 1870 Stanhope NJ census as a farm laborer, in 1880 Trenton NJ census as the nephew of Teodosia W. Eberley, and probably in 1910 Jersey City Census (age 62) with wife Mary __ (52) of 15 years (widowed in 1920); this latter seems to fit with a second marriage for George after the death of first wife in 1891.

7142

Mehitabel was daughter of Amos Marsh.

7142 and 7145

Abraham and Gershom Coursen dissolved their partnership in 1814. Snell: Abram had a store in Hope in 1818 (Knowlton Twp).

The Buntings lived in Stillwater Twp. He was clerk in Fredon post office.

Daniel Hunt, 4^th child of Thomas & Tabitha; daughter Emira A. Hunt (14 Apr 1829) m: Enos Harvey Bunting ( - 22 Sep 1897) :: Anna, Rebecca, Julia, Oliver Coursen Bunting, Enos Harvey Bunting, Jr.

71431

Note: Abner and Anna Bunting may have had more than four children, but a definite record has been lost. Only Sarah appears in the 1850 census with her parents; however, William and Enos were living nearby. Theodore is known because Anna was living with him in 1870. After the foregoing was written, further leads were suggested: Additional research and record are needed.

7144

Gershom [Gersham] Coursen. Burial gives 34y 2m 2d, which from 19 Aug 1821 yields 17 Jun 1887. This is impossible if Ann's dates are correct at (22 Dec 1787 - 28 Apr 1872), and in any event could reverse the order of birth between the two of them.

apparently never married

Crawn files - said he lived in Oxford, married Sarah Ann Styker.

According to Grace Van Horn, Gershom had a son: Gershom Hampton Coursen, who married Caroline Higbee; and their son was George Hampton Coursen who died Oct 1891. However, this is the same as what is defined for #71413 Gershom Hampton Coursen. One or the other report has to be wrong.

Isaac Coursen started a store [in Stillwater] before 1811, when his brothers Abram and Gershom were running it

Cit.29 #057 (Myra Swook) has notation that Peter was 12 years old in 1770.

Crawn papers are credited with reporting that Peter went to Lycoming Co PA in 1885 and had 12 children, which means there must have been further contact with him after that date. It also means the nine children recorded for Peter is an incomplete list, although the rest may have been stillbirths or infant deaths.

George FAGUE moved with his parents to Lycoming County from Sunbury, about 35 miles south in Northumberland County, PA. It was near the close of the Revolutionary War. One source suggests that George was born in Germany, but it is more likely that he was born in Northumberland County, PA. George died 11 Dec 1831/Lycoming Co PA and was buried in Immanuel's Luthern Cemetery, Muncy Creek Twp., Lycoming Co PA.

George's father: "Frederick FAGUE removed to Wolf township about the same time that his son-in-law Baltzer STOCK [STECK], came. He had two sons, George and William. From these have descended the Fagues found in Muncy valley, many of whom are still connected with the Lutheran church." [Another source thinks George and his siblings were the children of Matthias FAGUE. Who can provide documentation?]

Frederick FAGUE seems to have been of German ancestry. He may have been born as early as 1738 although probably a little later, and died in 1803/Lycoming Co PA. He and his wife Sevilla had six children:

1. Catherine *

2. George

3. Elizabeth **

4. William (c.1878/Northumberland Co - <1837/ Lycoming Co) m: Mary POUST

5. Frederick Jr. (c.1761/Muncy Creek, Lycoming, PA -)

6. Margaret

* Catherine FAGUE m: about 1805 Phillip LOW (Sr); they were the parents of Charles Wesley LOW, born 12 Aug 1817 in Lycoming Co PA.

** Elizabeth FAGUE m: Balzer STOCK [STECK]; they were the parents of Frederick, Catherine, and John (born 24 May 1796).

Abraham CORSON (c.1779 - 2 Jul 1851)

Extensive information for this family was submitted by Robert J. Brindley (especially the Benjamin and Rosa lines)

Jamima Morris is said to be the daughter of Benjamin Morris (a Loyalist from NJ), and Benjamin to be the son of Samuel Morris.

71521

Frank and Mary moved to Madison Twp, Columbia Co, where he took up trade as a millwright. In the 1850 census the couple appears with four children, all born in PA

Later, perhaps when father Abraham died, the family returned to Shrewsbury Twp and took up residence with mother Jamima (1860). But by the census of 1870, Jamima had moved to live with her daughter Margaret in Montoursville. And by 1880 only John H. was still living at home with his parents - in company, however, with a spinster aunt about his age, Martha HOUGHTON (b: 1846).

Both are buried at Pleasant Hill, Hughesville, PA.

71522

Both Effie and Wesley are buried at the Immanuel Lutheran Church. Wesley's parents were Ellen (MORRIS) and James ROGERS (1790-1865), from England (1800). Several other Rogers families lived in the area as well. The 1860 census shows Effie and Wesley on a farm in Shrewsbury Twp, Lycoming Co, with most of their children:

71523

Elizabeth appears to have been the third child of Abraham and Jamima Corson, although other suggestions have been made. The two are shown in the 1860 census on a farm in Shrewsbury Twp, Lycoming Co, with five children. Elizabeth is buried at the Immanuel Lutheran Church. Her husband is buried beside her. There were other Myers in the area as well; Elizabeth's niece Susannah Fiester CORSON (Jacob's dau.) later married George W. MYERS

71524

We learn from the History of Lycoming County that "Reuben W. Schoch was ... a mason and millwright by trade, and came to Lycoming County in 1840. He first located at Lewis Lake, but removed to Penn township four years later, and subsequently engaged in farming two years in Muncy Creek township and on the Packer farm for twenty-two years. In 1868 he bought one of the Hall farms in Fairfield township, sold part of it, and improved the remainder. Here he remained until his death. He was buried with Masonic honors. He was supervisor of Fairfield Twp for 26 years and assessor for two terms. He was the father of nine children, all of whom died in infancy or early childhood [see box for burials] except Abram C., who was killed by an accident [1864] and Daniel J."

The 1870 census has Ruben and Margaret SHUCK living in Montoursville, Lycoming County. Margaret's elderly mother Jamima CORSON was living with them. Family legend holds that Margaret and Reuben maintained a station on the Underground Rail Road in an old stone house east of Montoursville PA. In 1880 the widowed Reuben was living with his son D. J. Schoch.

71525

The Muncy Luminary of 7 Apr 1849 tells us that David SHOCH [i.e., SCHOCH] of Wolf Twp. wed "Miss Mary, dau. of Abraham CORSON, of Shrewsbury Twp., on 22^nd ult." Another source suggests Theodore Schoch rather than David, but that is unlikely. The 1860 census for nearby Moreland Twp, Lycoming Co, lists David (age 38) and Mary (38) Schoch, which fits the pattern perfectly. Burials at the ILC churchyard include Mary Schoch, aged 82-3-8; and David Schoch, buried nearby, aged 59-2-17. There is no Theodore there. The two Corson girls therefore married two Schoch boys who most likely were related, perhaps sons of John and Catharine Schoch, but the connection has not been established with authority.

71526

Information about Sarah CORSON is limited. She lived with her parents through 1850 then married Joe [later recorded as John] CROMLEY [CRUMLEY], "both of Hughesville", on 19 March 1851, and died 22 Jun 1901. The couple appears in 1860 through 1880 census records for Hughesville, where he is identified first as a carpenter and then as a photographer. In 1880, Joseph’s mother, Cathrine CROMLY (86 PA) was enumerated with the couple. The widowed Sarah was still in Hughesville for the 1900 census. None of the records shows children.

71527

The Muncy Luminary of 7 Apr 1849 announced the wedding of Benjamin CORSON, of Shrewsbury Twp. to Miss Mary, dau. of the late Benj. HOLMES, of Penn Twp. Mary HOLMES was the daughter of Agnes Nancy WISNER [WEASNER or WEAVER] (1795- ) and Benjamin HOLMES (1793-1849). Benjamin CORSON is buried with his wife in the Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery. Apparently Benjamin moved around a bit during his lifetime because census records show him farming in Shrewsbury Twp, Lycoming Co (next to his mother's farm) in 1850 and 1860, but in Old Lycoming Twp for 1870, and Muncy Creek Twp for 1880.

Another child, "Otto" CORSON, has been suggested but not demonstrated.

71527.7

There has been a running dispute about including Margaret "Maggie" Elizabeth (1862-1948) in the Benjamin Corson family. She was not listed with the rest of the family in the 1870 census, but she does appear as Maggie C. CORSON, age 18 (PA) in the 1880 census for D[aniel] J. Schoch, and identified there as his cousin; there aren’t any other known explanations.

71527.A

Information for Rosa Corson appears in Three Hundred Years ... (volume 1)

71528

Charles lived at home with his parents, and then his widowed mother, until he married. A year later the 1860 census showed Charles and his wife Sarah A. Corson living on a parcel next to his mother's in Shrewsbury Twp. Orville Corson said Charles married ___ HOWLETT; later researchers combined the two to get Sarah A. Howlett, although no such person has ever been found. William "Bill" E. Corson (M285), who is a direct descendant, says Charles married Sarah A. McDANIELS, and he offers death certificates to support his position. The facts are confused, however, by a newspaper announcement of the wedding that called her Sarah McDonnell and an obituary for a son that gave her maiden name as Sally McDonald. Following the Battle of Gettysburg, Charles Courson was inducted into the 143^rd Pennsylvania Volunteers Infantry Regiment, Company G, on 15 Aug 1863. Pvt. Charles was wounded at the Battle of the Wilderness the following May when a gunshot pierced his left shoulder, leaving him to recuperate on furlough and then return to active duty 31 Aug 1864. His elder son was born nine months later. Charles was discharged from service 12 June 1865 – but he complained the rest of his life about the pain and partial disability left by the battle wound. His discharge papers describe him as "six feet one half inches high, fair complexion, hazle eyes, dark hair, and by occupation when enrolled a sawyer." After the war, Charles, back in Shrewsbury, swore an "oath of identity" before the Justice of the Peace (his brother-in-law Reuben W. Schoch), establishing that he, Chas. Courson, was the same as Charles Courson - and then he signed it "Charles Corson"! Charles is buried at Immanuel Lutheran Church, but a bit of a mystery remains about his birth. Most census and military records claim he was born about 1836-1838, but the church burial says he was 74y-0m-21d old at the time of his death, which would place his birth in 1830. Bill Corson has studied the records and concludes that 15 Dec 1836 is the most likely date. In any event, Charles was considerably younger than his brothers and sisters, while his wife may have been several years his senior.

Jacob W. Corson and children: "I contacted 'Uncle Jake's' children and here is the info they gave me" - William E. Corson 10/2005.

Isaac CORSON was born in New Jersey in 1781, probably Sussex County (Corsens Corners/Fredon, Sussex, NJ). The date of birth is derived from his marker at Immanuel's Lutheran Church graveyard near Muncy, Pennsylvania. Several years after his birth, his parents moved to what became Lycoming County PA. There the young Isaac grew up and eventually married Sara or Sarah SHIPMAN, and there they raised a family of their own.

Why is Isaac's birthplace sometimes shown as Pennsylvania? Probably because his elder brother Abraham appears in the 1850 census as having been born in Pennsylvania. The 1850 census was the first US census to report birthplace and the first to report personal data by name. Abraham's data is a clue, offered as a substitute for Isaac's because Isaac died between 1840 and 1850 (apparently in 1847) and therefore does not appear in the 1850 record. In 1850, however, the birthplace information in the census seems to have been recorded somewhat casually, so Abraham's record may not be reliable. We give weight to the local history by Meginness, that says Hannah and Peter CORSEN settled in Pennsylvania in 1794, too late for Isaac to have been born there. However, the same Peter CORSON and family were in fact in Northumberland County (the precursor to Lycoming County) in time to be in the 1790 census. So take your pick.

Who then was Sara SHIPMAN?

The 1850 census seems to be the most definitive record we have for Sarah CORSON: She was 60 years old (i.e., about 1790) and born in PA. We have no record of her death or burial, but because she did not appear in the 1860 census, we assume she died in the interim; her children's movements suggest it may have been about 1855. Isaac's burial sets his death at 29 Oct 1847, but there is no record that Sarah was laid to rest beside him.

Isaac and Sarah must have married about 1807. Their first child was born about 1808 (actually, we think, in 1809). Isaac CORSON and his young family appear in US census records for the first time in 1810, living in Muncy Creek Twp, Lycoming Co. By 1820 Isaac COURSIN, his wife, 3 boys, and 2 girls had moved and were living and farming in Shrewsbury Twp. In the 1830 census report there were 4 boys and 5 girls at home. One more boy arrived by 1840, bringing the total to 5 boys and 5 girls, presumably all their children.

Thanks for the letter. To answer your questions, Margot did all the research on the DeMottes and what I know I got from her. Sarah's maiden name is Fanoe with an e at the end. Dates for Zoe and Thomas are correct. I know nothing about Frank Roy Corson. Alice moved to Los Angeles in the early 1930s and married Herman Presber there. They had one son, Philip. She was a nurse, served as an Army nurse in WWII in Alaska. My mother and I stayed with her family for about 6 months when we moved to California in 1935 and then went to Laguna Beach. The twins lived in Southern California all the rest of their lives and of course were in touch. She died in L. A. i n 1972 -- November I believe. I found one slight error in Jim's tree -- Fred Philipson was born in 1874 in Columbus, Ohio, and died in November, 1941, in Evanston, Illinois. --pk

Census evidence for Isaac Shipton [Shipman] Corson and his family is conflicting. An entry for Isaac S. Carson appears in Sun River and Teton River, Choteau, Montana in the 1880 census (but none at any loter date), when he was single. There is no entry for a wife or a son that year. There were census entries in 1910 and 1920 for a James Corson born about 1885 (with birth entries MT PA IL in 1910 and MT WA WA in 1920); there is also an entry in 1900 for James Carson age 30 OH OH OH but the same occupation. He was never recorded with either parent. No census record has been found at all for Clara/Clarissa (Foulk) Corson, who may or may not have been a second marriage for Isaac.

Jacob and Elizabeth (FIESTER) CORSON

Orville Corson had quite a bit to say about Jacob and his family, and so did J.F. Meginness in his history, giving us a good foundation. Jacob married Elizabeth FIESTER about 1811 in PA (one source says Berks, PA), had 15 children, farmed most of his life, and worked a farm in Shrewsbury Twp. He died 23 Dec 1842 and is buried in the Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Hughesville.

Elizabeth Fiester reputedly is buried in Hughesville although I fail to find a listing. She was the daughter of Godfrey and Mary Magdalene (KEPNER) FIESTER. Godfrey [Gottfried] (26 Jul 1746 to 9 Feb 1813) is buried at Immanuel's Lutheran Church, Muncy Creek Twp. Mary Magadlene (c.1755 - 15 Dec 1832) was the daughter of Bernard KEPNER. Godfrey and Mary in their earlier years were identified with Berks PA.

Elizabeth Fiester's siblings were: Henry, Daniel, Godfrey, Charles, Sophia, < female>, Sarah Marie, Benjamin, Mary, Jacob, and Suzannah FIESTER. Two more died young. All were born in PA, most lived in Lycoming Co, and several are buried at Immanuel's Lutheran Church., Muncy Creek Twp.

When Jacob Corson died his heirs published a petition in the Muncy Luminary, 15 July 1843. His children were listed in order of birth, except for the omission of Harriet and Abraham (both died young) and Susannah and Isaac (both of whom had moved out of state). The spelling COURSON was used throughout, illustrating once again a fluid morphing from one spelling to another. For that era, any reasonable spelling might appropriately be used for people in this article, although practices were beginning to solidify. George Foust, William Talbert, Jr. and David Hill were administrators of the estate.

Jacob and Elizabeth were reported to have 15 children, and this makes 15. But is it really the end? Take another a look in the Shrewsbury 1850 census report - the household of widow Elizabeth (Fiester) Corson (family #1135). We see her younger children, as reported above, but what about those last two entries:

Courson, Caroline 12 f

Courson, Edward 12 m

71541

Data for Charles Corson and family primarily from Family Group Sheets and documentation supplied by Kay Pease

The couple moved first to Ohio and then Iowa, and raised a family of four. Charles, Maria, and some of the rest are buried in the Fairview Cemetery, East Waterloo Twp., Black Hawk Co, IA.

71542

Immediately following their marriage the couple moved west to Spencer, Lucas Co OH. In 1850 they were living only a few doors away from Maria and Charles Corson (#71541).

71543

The Lenawee/Myers family records (see #8 Susannah, below) tell us that George moved to Illinois and eventually died there. Census records track him there as early as 1850, but probably first to Ohio in 1840. The 1850 Marion Co IL census shows entries for George (then 35), Susanah (33), and their children:

By the 1880 census the older COURSON boys were married and had their own farms near Mom and Dad at Oskaloosa, Marion Co IL. In the 1900 census, the parents were gone, and probably Jacob as well, but there are data for the families of all three brothers. The Myers family record seems to clarify that it was another George and Susan Corson, with their own children, who were reported in Shrewsbury Twp in the 1860 census (family #247). An inconsistency, however: George W. was alive and well in the 1880 Illinois census report, despite his death in 1878 per the Myers family record; and census records consistently show his birthplace as Ohio.

71544

Both spouses are buried in the Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Hughesville. The family was recorded in Shrewsbury Twp during the censuses of 1850 through 1880. Living with them in 1880: stepdaughter Nettie E. BUCK (b:1870).

71545

Little is known of this couple, other than she and her husband apparently were present in Shrewsbury in 1843 for estate matters following her father's death.

71546

John and Jane Mary are both are buried in the Muncy Cemeteries, together with several of their children. She was the daughter of Samuel T. [F.] and Christina [Christian] (BRYSON) BURROWS [BORROWS] of Montoursville. Although John and Jane were identified with PA at least as late as the 1870 Shrewsbury Twp census, and all their children were born there, at some time prior to the 1880 census they moved to Virginia. John went into farming and his boys, now young adults, joined him:

Clara CORSON (c.1866 - ) and Charles M CORSON (c.1867-1941) appear as possible children in the 1870 and 1880 census reports. There is speculation that Clara and Charles may have been confused for each other, and it is also possible they were niece and nephew. The 1900 VA census report says Jane Mary had only two children. Nonetheless Samuel, Waldo, Fannie, and Charles are buried in the family plot in Muncy with John and Jane Mary. The Burrows family Bible records Harry's marriage to Sada Clara McGuire: http://dianesgenealogy.com/lenaweemi/bibleburrows.html

71547

When Daniel's father died in 1843, he stayed with his mother and took care of her farm. Mother is shown in the 1850 Shrewsbury census next door to Daniel, together with Daniel's younger siblings, Eliza, Jacob, Maria, Caroline, and Edward (see below). In December of 1857 the Sullivan County Democrat reported that "Daniel CORSON of Shrewsbury married Miss Sarah NIECE of Pennsville, on 7^th inst." Sarah NEECE was the daughter of John and Mary (MACKEY) NEECE of Penn's Dale, "where he worked at the shoemaker trade. He afterwards established a tannery at that place, which be operated for a number of years, when he sold it and engaged in the mercantile business," as the Lycoming biographies report it. "His widow …was the mother of eleven children," including Sarah, who married Daniel COURSON; and Emily Jane, who married Jacob COURSON" (Daniel's brother, see below).

No census record has been located for 1860 or 1870, but the 1880 census for Shrewsbury Twp shows Daniel and Sarah M Corson with three children. Daniel is buried in the Muncy Cemeteries, presumably accompanied by Sarah.

Daniel was elected County Commissioner in 1878, but the honor didn't last long. The Sullivan Review, 15 Feb 1883: "Lycoming County offers a reward of $800 for the capture and return of McKinney SMITH, ex-commissioner. His guilty colleagues, CORSON and EBNER, are now undergoing imprisonment in the Penitentiary. " And again on 25 Oct of that year, "The case of Daniel CORSON and William C. EBNER, the embezzling commissioners of Lycoming County, was before the board of pardons Tuesday. They were sentenced Jan. 6th, 1883 to pay a fine of $350 each, costs, and one year and three months in the Eastern Penitentiary."

71548

Susanna and George moved from Hughesville PA to Woodbridge VA and there bought a farm and a saloon. Interrelated families of Corsons, Caldwells, Fiesters, Myers, and Opps moved there from Pennsylvania. For further details see the Myers family bible, http://dianesgenealogy.com/lenaweemi/biblemyers.html

71549 Isaac CORSON (3 [30] Dec 1824 - 22 [11] Sep 1864).

Probably the Isaac buried in the Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Hughesville: The record there is incomplete and no record survives for his wife, but the burial is in the same plot with his father Jacob. Orville Corson tells us that Isaac married Josephine WILSON and the Van Tuyl record tells us it was in Pennyslvania. Further evidence is scant but it seems almost certain that we should identify the following 1860 Shrewsbury Twp census item for family #1558 (although Isaac's age entry probably should have been 35).

Corson, Isaac 25 m farmer

Corson, Josephine 22 f

Corson, Mary E. 2 f

Corson, James 1 m

Wilson, John S. 27 m

We surmise that John was Josephine's brother. Isaac died prior to the 1870 census. His widow apparently remarried:

Fry, Josephine 32 f keeping house

Courson, Mary 12 f

But where is her new husband, and what happened to James? (Some James CORSIN, age 11, was living with Wilson W. Beck in Centre Co PA that year; next door was McClellan CORSIN, age 7, living with David Condit. Both boys were born in Pennsylvania. Could there be a link?)

7154A

In the 1850 census, Eliza COURSON was living with her mother in Shrewsbury Twp. In 1880 she was still in Hughesvile, but living with her husband (a railroad superintendent) and children. The “Mehrling” census record seems to disappear in later years. A sidelight is that a boy named "Merhling" was born in 1848 in Shrewsbury Twp to Sarah and Peter N. Corson. At least, that's the way the name appears on the 1860 census record after an 1850 listing as "Merlan". Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find him later.

7154C

Meginness says “He received a common school education and followed farming all his life. The farm upon which he resided was purchased by his grandfather in 1798; his father, Jacob Corson, resided thereon and owned an adjoining tract of 400 acres, in connection with which he operated a sawmill. After his father's death, Jacob F. Corson took charge of the mill and timber tract, and conducted the business until his mother's death." In the 1850 census for Shrewsbury Twp, Jacob was living with his mother and working as a laborer; in later reports he would be listed as a farmer.

Emily was the daughter of John NEECE (shoemaker, tanner, and merchant, 1802-1871) and Mary (MACKEY) NEECE ( d. 1884). Emma's sister Sarah married Jacob's brother Daniel; Emma and Sarah had nine other brothers and sisters.

7154E

Maria married (after 1850, when she was living with her mother, and probably by 1860) Thomas HOWLETT [HOWLET] (who died before the History of Lycoming County Pennsylvania was published in 1892). He appears as a grain dealer in the Jonesvill/Hilssdale MI census for 1880, and his widow continues in census reports there through 1910. This may have been the same Howlett family into which Charles Corson married (Sarah A Howlett), if indeed there was a Sarah Howlett.

7154F

Caroline was living with her mother in Shrewsbury for the 1850 census, then married Alfred Hill, son of Jacob and Charlotte (DIMM) HILL. Meginness tells us that Alfred, from Muncy Creek Twp, "was educated at Pennsylvania College, and taught seventeen terms of school." In 1871 he began work as a conductor on a passenger train for the Muncy Creek railroad, until elected to the Pennsylvania legislature in 1876. Later he "took employment with the Standard Oil Company for two years, after which he superintended the macadamizing of the streets of Hughesville. For the past six years he has been employed by Burrows Brothers, furniture manufacturers of Picture Rocks, as traveling salesman. Mr. Hill has been secretary of the school board of Hughesville eight years."

7155

John Corson’s grave has been identified at Immanuel's Lutheran Church outside Muncy. That record says he was born 5 Feb 1788 (probably Lycoming County) and died 16 Apr 1842. There is no indication that his wife was buried with him.

John died before the census of 1850, and therefore we are missing much of the detail it would have provided. We are able to track him through the earlier census records, however. By name, John first appeared in the 1820 census, as male, 26 to 45 years. His wife appears to have been 16 to 26 years old at the time. Throughout that period John and his family were living in Shrewsbury Twp, Lycoming Co PA, and John (like most men then) was engaged primarily in agriculture. He had no slaves or Free Colored people living with him. We know from a biography of John Slate of Williamsport PA that " In 1825 he [Slate] formed a partnership with John Corson and engaged in the manufacture of boots and shoes in the evenings, working for Mr. [John B.] Hall during the daytime." A little moonlighting supplements the family income.

The census reports also tell us that John and his wife had a growing family. Just how many children they ultimately had may be open to dispute. In 1820 they already had three children, a boy and two girls, all under 10. In 1830 John and his wife were ten years older and the family had grown to 9 children at home. Move forward to 1840 when John and his wife still had 9 children living at home, but three or four of the older children had left, bringing the total to about a dozen.

The old census reports had no more to say about a wife than her approximate age. Even that helps us identifier her because when we get to the 1850 Shrewsbury Twp Sullivan Co census report, Elizabeth Corson of the right age and a widow was living with five of her children, all of them the right ages according to the earlier census reports.

Among the children with her in 1850 were Henry and Alfred. In later census records its fairly easy to track them to Genoa Twp, DeKalb Co IL, where in 1880 we find mother Elizabeth CORSON, then 84 years old, living with Alfred and his own family. Elizabeth must have died there a few years later (although a grave hasn't been located) - which is probably why she is not found with John in Muncy.

Early census reports lead us to believe that John and Elizabeth had twelve children, give or take a few. We can't be sure of the exact number for several reasons, like stillbirths or changes in enumeration dates from one census to the next that could result in some overlap. We also can't be sure if all the children listed were really their own; a visiting relative or live-in farm hand would have been counted in just the same way. In fact, the 1830 census count includes a boy 15 to 20 years old who had no counterpart in the 1820 census. A similar discontinuity, for another boy, shows up in the 1840 census. I've listed all of them in the summary (see box this page) but I've left the two "extras" unnamed because I don't think they were John and Elizabeth's children.

That leaves us to account for eleven children. Five of them were with their mother in 1850 and named in that census report: Susannah, Henry, Alfred, Harriet, and Lucretia. One of the others shows up in 1860, when Elizabeth was still living in Shrewsbury Twp, Sullivan Co, but in the household of Catharine and Joseph GREEN. Catharine was Elizabeth's daughter. Yet another child, identified by proximity, was Peter N CORSON. My identifications of the children were facilitated by the sparsely-documented Van Tuyl file, supported through census reports. A listing of graveyard markers at the Ney Methodist Episcopal Cemetery in Genoa Twp, DeKalb Co IL was quite helpful. Another good source was The Biographical Record of DeKalb County, Illinois (1898). CCFHA member Kay Pease was once again a great help.

71551

As confirmed in the Edkin files, Hannah CORSON married Thomas Jefferson EDKIN, the son or grandson of George EDKIN (1767-1849) from Lancaster, England, and Deborah MARBY [MOORBY] (1774-1849]. The Thomas Edkins were living in Shrewsbury Twp (L) in 1850 and 1860, with their children.

71552

[1850 Wolf Twp, Lycoming Co; 1860 Sullivan Co census; 1880 McHenry Co/Riley IL]

Next in birth order was Peter N CORSON, shown in the 1850 Shrewsbury Twp census as a farmer with his wife Sarah and their children. The household also included Joseph NEWMAN, age 18. A good guess is that Joseph was Sarah's brother. The family's location in 1860 remained the same. But by 1870 they had moved to DeKalb Co IL, and by more than happenstance, we believe, they settled a few properties away from the farms of Henry and Alfred CORSON (already noted from the 1850 census), who had made the same move from Pennyslvania. We conclude that all three were brothers. When Sarah died in 1875, Peter remarried, this time to Amelia DURHAM, who appears with Peter in the 1880 census along with two children by Amelia's previous marriage. Peter N and Sarah N are both buried in Ney Cemetery, Genoa Twp, DeKalb Co Illinois.

Children of Amelia's first marriage 21 Mar 1848 DeKalb Co to William Rochester DURHAM:

1. Fanny DURHAM (1870 IL - >1880)

2. Olive DURHAM (1872 IL - >1880)

3. …and four older siblings, names not known

71554

Sarah CORSON, born roughly a year after Peter, married James MACKEY and settled in Shrewsbury Twp (L) where they are recorded in the 1850 census. They started raising a family, but Sarah died in 1853 leaving behind five young children.. [1850 Shrewsbury Twp (L); 1880 DeKalb Co IL]

71555

Undaunted, James married Susannah - probably Susannah CORSON, Sarah's younger sister, and the new couple proceeded to produce four more children.[1870 and 1880 McHenry Co; 1900 DeKalb Co]

71556

Henry CORSON was present with mother Elizabeth in the Sullivan Co PA census of 1850. Henry married Elizabeth "Eliza" HOWLET [HOWLETT], daughter of widow Martha HOWLET. Martha, her daughter, and a half dozen other children were living nearby in Sullivan Co in 1850. Henry and Eliza relocated to DeKalb Co IL by 1870, where the two are buried in the Ney cemetery.

71557

Lavinia CORSON married John BENNETT. This was affirmed in the Muncy Luminary newspaper of 19 Feb. 1848, announcing the marriage of "John BENNETT to Miss Lavinah CORSON, both of Sullivan Co. on 10th inst." They and their children appear in the Shrewsbury Twp census reports of 1850 (Sullivan Co) and 1860 (Lycoming Co).

71558

Daniel CORSON married Priscilla CRAFT. Priscilla was the daughter of Samuel and Margaret (Hartman) Craft of Berks Co PA; and Margaret was the daughter of John and Margaret (Spring) Hartman. [1860 and 1870 DeKalb Co. 1870. Support for this is buried in the Ney cemetery. The graveyard record has Daniel B. CORSON and Priscilla (CRAFT) CORSON buried in the next plot over from brother Alfred CORSON and his family. At first the census reports seemed mysteriously silent about both Daniel and Priscilla, but eventually we found them and their eight children. The 1860 census taker didn't help by recording them as "CARSON". When Daniel died in 1876, Lorenzo ROBINSON wooed and won the hand of the widowed Priscilla, and from their union was born Mary J. ROBINSON. Take a look at the biographical record of Lorenzo and Priscilla in Corson Cousins.

71559

Alfred married Elizabeth Ann EDKIN, the daughter of Judith (WARREN) and Francis EDKIN (1804-1878) (the brother of Thomas Jefferson EDKIN, previously introduced). Alfred and Eliza are buried at the Ney cemetery along with several of their children. However, their son William "Willie" F. CORSON (Jul 1874 - 1960) and his wife Nettie VAIL PARKHURST (1876 - 1942) are buried in the Marengo IL cemetery along with many of her relatives. Nettie stands out because she was the birth daughter of Charles H. and Harriet (DOTY) VAIL, and the adopted daughter of Perry T and Anna Vail PARKHURST. The Vail and Parkhurst families are both generously represented in the graveyard. Nettie's mother died the year she was born, which probably explains the adoption.

7155A

Harriet CORSON (1835) was another of the five children in the 1850 census report, living with mother Elizabeth (Buck) Corson. Harriet married Joseph CRAFT. Here again the Ney cemetery has a story to tell. Joseph died in 1865, followed by Margaret CRAFT (his mother) in 1875. The widowed Harriet married construction contractor George E. HADSALL and they added Mary T. HADSALL to the family. Harriet, George, and Mary are buried in the Ney cemetery, two plots over from Joseph Craft. The biographical record for brother John HADSALL is in Corson Cousins.

[1870: McHenry Co; George the son of Edwin and Lyddia HADSALL (in 1870 census). [Two of George's brothers also married (next generation) descendants of John and Elizabeth (Buck) Corson]

7155B

Lucretia was the last of the children recorded in the 1850 census with their widowed mother. The Sullivan County Democrat of 4 Jan. 1856 tells us that "Thomas L. KITCHEM married Miss Lecettia CORSON, both of Shrewsbury, on 13th inst." Newspapers are notoriously poor spellers. The 1860 Shrewsbury (L) census affirms that Thomas L. and Lucretia KITCHEN and the first of their children were residing there, living next door to George W. and Eliza Ann CORSON. Lucretia is buried in the Ney cemetery together with Robert (1792-1878) KITCHEN (probably her father in law) and Thomas L. KITCHEN (1834-1916).

The Buck Connection

John Corson married Elizabeth Buck and his sister Jane Corson married Henry Buck. One might wonder if Henry and Elizabeth were siblings or cousins. Nothing in the Buck family history that we've seen supports this directly, but there is a tantalizing connection.

Widow Elizabeth (Buck) Corson and most of her children moved to Genoa, DeKalb Co IL and settled there for the rest of their lives. The twist is: Several grandnieces and nephews of Henry and Jane (Corson) Buck also moved to Genoa Twp, DeKalb Co IL. This is more than happenstance. The moves were linked in some way.

The younger relatives were grandchildren of Peter BUCK (1788 - 18 Mar 1854), Henry's younger brother. Peter and his wife Susannah had four children of their own, one of whom was John BUCK (1810 - 1889). John's children in turn - all born in Pennsylvania - were Mary (1839 - ), Charlotte (1842 - ), George, Susanna (1844 - ), Angeline, Robert Norman, and Jerusha BUCK.

Robert Norman BUCK (1853 - 1920) and his wife Susan Ann REED (whose brother married Jerusha, below) stayed in Pennsylvania; they were great-grandparents of CCFHA member Gary BUCK.

George W. BUCK (1848 - 1923) married Mary A.[C] FLICK (1851 - 1917) and they moved to Genoa IL. The Ney cemetery records show them there - husband, wife, and Freddie C. BUCK (1878 - 1880).

Angeline BUCK (1850 - 1930) married John Calvin SHERER (1846 - 1902); they are both in the Ney cemetery.

Jerusha BUCK (1855 - 1952) married Peter Mandes REED (1846 - 1925 ). Meginness tells us": Jacob REED, son of Solomon REED, married Ellen DUGAN, and to this union were born twelve children: … [among them] Peter Mandes, who married Jerusha Buck, and now resides at Genoa, Illinois…." Nearby, the Elmwood cemetery holds both of them.

As intriguing as these parallel relocations may be, they only suggest the possibility of a further relationship. We still don't know for sure if Elizabeth (Buck) Corson came from the same larger family as her husband's brother-in-law, Henry Buck.

7157

The October 1989 issue of Corson Cousins gave a report from Joseph Brooks (SU-125), one of Ann's great-great-grandsons. We are told that Ann was born [about] 1790, married Frederick TAYLOR, and died 1860. Frederick Taylor, born 1792 Northumberland Co PA, died 1858 Sullivan Co PA. Although it was reported that Ann was born in Sussex Co NJ, we know from earlier installments of this series that she almost certainly would have arrived in this world in Northumberland Co, the predecessor to Lycoming Co. She died nearby in the even newer Sullivan Co, prior to the 1860 census.

The rest of Joseph Brooks' report agrees with family tradition and is completely plausible, but an important link is missing. So it's also possible that someone invented parts of the story to explain the facts (and the story has been repeated widely within the family ever since). Recently the same story has been posted on the Internet by a member of the Taylor family, but that doesn't make it any more certain. Until the missing documentation is found we can't be sure.

The History of Lycoming County tells us: "Robert Taylor was born April 29, 1778, in Ireland, son of Frederick Taylor, who immigrated from Ireland to America in 1783, and located on a farm in Northumberland county, Pennsylvania. He was twice married; by his first wife he had one child, Robert, and by his second wife, whose maiden name was Gailey, he had seven children." Frederick and Nancy (Gailey) Taylor lived near McEwensville PA adjacent to the Warrior RunnRiver). Frederick died 1804 , in Turbotville, Northumberland PA. That much appears to be factual.

Here now is the family story: The man that Ann Corson married was Frederick Taylor Jr, son of Frederick TAYLOR Sr and Nancy GAILEY. Frederick Taylor Jr was therefore the half-brother of the Robert Taylor mentioned in the History.

"Our" Frederick Taylor may well have been Frederick Jr, the son of Frederick Sr and Nancy (Gaily) Taylor. He and Robert may well have been half-brothers. Both men are important in Corson family history. But the link between them has yet to be demonstrated to this writer's satisfaction. There's a research challenge for you. In fact, George Muller (SU-386) is already checking into it at my request. Perhaps we will have more to report soon.

In the April 2003 issue of Corson Cousins we were told that Elizabeth Taylor married Jacob Corson, son of Isaac and Sarah (Shipman) Corson. Robert was Elizabeth's father. Robert was the grandfather of Angeline Taylor, who married Jacob's brother Edkin Corson. Jacob and Edkin had a brother, William Corson, who operated a tavern in Sullivan County but eventually sold out to James Taylor, another of Robert's children. John Taylor was yet another son; his daughter Uvilla [or Urilla] married Lloyd Corson, son of Peter N. Corson (son of John and Elizabeth (Buck) Corson) whom we met in the July 2003 issue. Robert's will is one of the abstracts reproduced this month from the Lycoming County Wills, Book A (page 292). To give that confirming counterpoint, we are also reproducing a legal notice from the Sullivan County Review 14 April 1880 of a proceeding in the Orphans' Court for the estate of a further member of the same Taylor family.

However, Frederick Taylor [Jr] and Ann Corson are the focus of this part of the column. If the senior Frederick Taylor was his father, then junior's siblings may have been Catharine, Barbara, Margaret, James, and Jane Taylor - but again we have no confirming documentation. If Frederick Taylor Sr wasn't his father, we're at a loss to say who was.

The remaining citations and queries from Corson Cousins offer scant help but we list them for reference: 88Oct(2)[Q], 89Oct (39), 89Oct(45)[Q], 90Jul(28), 91Jan(15), and 92Apr(16). The first item from 1989 refers to a Frederick Taylor [Jr] will that was not reproduced, ostensibly listing eight children. The 1992 item also points to some of the children.

7157

The 1850 census for Sullivan Co PA lists farmer Frederic (age 58), his wife Ann (60), and Debrah (17) TAYLOR. Debra may have been either a daughter or a granddaughter. The rest of their children had grown and left by then, and both parents died prior to the 1860 census. Thus we turn to other sources.

The will mentioned above reportedly lists John, Robert, and six other children. The VanTuyl file agrees with the first two and provides further data for them, but no names for the other children:

In this tabulation, Debra has been listed as the daughter of Robert.

71571

The 1860 Lucas County census shows John, Mary and six children:

7158

Mary may have been born as early as 1791, but 1793 is a more likely date. As with the others, it would have been in Northumberland Co (or Lycoming Co) PA where her parents were living.

We don't know much about David Woodly beyond a suggestion that he was born about 1791. Apparently he died not many years after the couple married because we think Mary remarried in 1818 and for sure before 1828. The 1810 census for Muncy Creek Twp shows Mathias Woodly and a large family that could have included David. By 1820, Mathias and three other Woodley families were living nearby, but no separate listing for a David Woodly family. If anyone can fill in the details or where David was eventually buried, it will be appreciated.

More information is available for Jesse Blaker. The LDS FamilySearch file has entries that say he was born 1777 Warwick Twp, Bucks Co PA, married Mary Corson in 1818, and died 5 Mar 1870 in Picture Rocks, Lycoming Co PA. If so, his parents were Achilles BLAKER and Sarah BUCKMAN. Without confirmation, however, we don't know how good that information is. The 1810 census records show a Jesse Blaker family living in Bucks Co PA, but at best that would pre-date his marriage to Mary. There is no 1820 census entry for a Jesse Blaker family. The abstract of will for Peter Corson on page 182 of Lycoming County Wills, Book A shows Mary Blaker with others in her father's family in 1828, providing the only independent confirmation we have. Perhaps additional work will locate the Blakers in the 1850 census.

With online services we can now electronically search the 1860 and 1870 census records. We would hope to find Jesse and family, perhaps in Picture Rocks before Jesse died. No such luck. The only Jesse Blaker indexed in the whole country for those years was living in Red Wing MN; he was born about 1797 and his wife's name was Anna or Hannah. That isn't a good fit. Nonetheless, the Jesse Blaker in Minnesota was born in Pennsylvania and so was his wife; and in 1860 they had a G. Woodly living with them! So I leave it to you to figure out.

As far as we know, Mary didn't have any children by either husband. No one has ever come forward to claim lineal descent.

7159

Important information about Peter and his family appears in Corson Cousins October 2003, from The Biographical Record of DeKalb County, Illinois, S. J. Clarke Publishing Co, Chicago, 1898.

Peter's story begins with his birth in Lycoming Co PA about 1795 - or in 1797 according to the DeKalb record. He was by trade a blacksmith and followed that vocation his entire life. His chapter in the book of life closed in 1847 but his story continues today through a large family of descendants. He and Margaret must have been busy during the fairly short span of years they were together, because they are credited with as many as 14 children.

The birth of Margaret McCarty is believed to have been after 1798 in Lycoming Co PA, although dates have been suggested as early as 1793 and as late as 1815. We are told she was born near Muncie Creek, Lycoming Co, a daughter of Isaac and Martha (FIGGLES) McCARTHY, "who were of the Quaker faith." The History of Lycoming County tells us that "Isaac McCarty was one of four brothers who came to Lycoming county, Pennsylvania, at an early day, locating on a farm. He reared a family of eight children:" Benjamin, Lewis, Charles, George, Margaret, Hannah, Sarah, and Lavina. Isaac McCarty died in June 1847.

It's reasonable to believe Margaret and Peter were married soon after 1820, although no record has been presented. In the 1820 census, Peter and family don't appear as a separate entry. While he could have been married already and living with his parents, it's more likely that he was still single. Moreover, we believe the couple's first child arrived in 1823 or 1824. Their second child was born in 1825.

The 1830 census shows Peter, age 30 to 40, with his wife, age 20 to 30, and four children. The oldest child was a girl, age 5 to 10. With them were two more girls and a boy all under 5 years. The way ages were recorded then you can't be quite sure, but the information is helpful nonetheless.

The 1840 census shows a growing family. The cast of characters from 1830 has aged, but there are a few surprises. Peter's wife is still shown as 20 to 30 years old. The young boy in 1830 is now 10 to 15 years old. The oldest girl has disappeared, probably married. One of the two younger girls from 1830 has also disappeared, which is harder to explain because she normally wouldn't have gotten married that young. That leaves us with one "holdover" girl age 10-15 in the 1840 census. There were also five more recent arrivals, all under 5 years old: 2 boys and 3 girls.

There is no 1850 census record for Peter because he died several years earlier. His wife survived him, however. At first we were puzzled because we found no matching 1850 record for her and the remaining children. With further study, however, it became obvious that a household in Shrewsbury Twp, Lycoming Co headed by Margaret Coursen, age 22, is the correct one. The census taker entered the wrong age. Our guess is that the intended age was either 44 or should have been 52. That means her birth could have been as late as 1806, with a first child born when she was 17 or 18.

There is no 1860 census record for Margaret. Apparently she died before then.

7159 children

When we adjust for the children who left the family nest earlier, add them to the 1850 census, and include the information for John R Corson, here's what we get; boldface entries are from the census (with ages converted to approximate birth dates)

1 Sarah 1824

2 John R 1825

3 Hannah 1826

4 <girl> 1825-30

5 Martha 1828

6 Rosanna 1834

7 Abraham 1836

8 Edward 1838

9 Mary E 1840

10 Milton 1843

11 Ellis 1844

12 Nancy [Narcy] 1846

The 12 entries above fall short of the 14 children claimed for the family in the John R Corson biography. I'm guessing there was a birth about 1830 (which could have been Martha) and another about 1832, and one of those two children died young. A stillbirth may account for the remaining child, but this is pure speculation. I wish we had a name for the unnamed girl, but I leave that to later researchers.

71591

Marriage of Sarah CORSON and Charles FIESTER: Muncy Luminary 12 Nov 1848. We have been able to track them in census records for Shrewsbury and Penn township, Lycoming Co PA from 1850 through 1880. Sarah has been identified in part by the way they lived in proximity to other relatives. In 1870, for example, they were living close to Henry and Elizabeth Myers and also to Jacob and Emma Corson -- we earlier met cousin Elizabeth as a daughter of Abraham and Jemima Corson (Lycoming Co), and we also met cousin Jacob the son of Jacob and Elizabeth (Fiester) Corson. Like most men then, Charles was a farmer.

71592

See biography for John R. Corson printed in the October 2003 issue of “Corson Cousins”.

Husband and wife buried in Ney Cemetery, Genoa Twp IL. (Sarah Craft was a sister of Daniel Corson’s wife, Priscilla Craft.)

71593

William and Hanah Montague appear in the 1850 census for Lycoming Co/Shrewsbury IL, together with a child (the name is partly obscured, but probably Bodin). We have not found the family in later census reports. However, 1870 census records for DeKalb Co IL show George Montague, age 19, living with the John R Corson family. William and Hannah do not appear in later census records, but William probably died prior to 1860, and Hannah may have remarried, the second time to Joseph McClintock of Penn Twp, Lycoming Co PA; the 1860 census shows a couple of that name with four young children, three of whom carry the Montague name (but not including Bodin). In later years, Bodine and George established families of their own in Penn Twp.

71595

Martha and George were both from Wolf Twp [Muncy Luminary, 18 June 1851]. Her birthdate is a problem. In the 1850 census, she is 22; in 1860 she is 27; in 1870 she is 42; and in the 1880 census she is 48. It’s hard to know exactly what year she was born. The numbers for George shift a bit, too; c.1824 looks like a good compromise date for his birth. George and Mattie lived in Lycoming. When mother Margaret Corson died, Martha took on much of the responsibility for her younger siblings: Edward (21), Milton (17), and Norcissa (13) Corson. They appear as members of the household in 1860, but ten years later they were all gone.

71596

Rosanna was 16 years old when she registered on the 1850 census with her mother. Everything else is less certain. We think she married Elisha WILSON. In the 1860 census records, Elisha Wilson (31) and Rosannah K [Korson?] Wilson (26) were living in Davidson Twp, Sullivan Co PA with a 3 year old daughter, Emma.

It sounds right, and probably is, but after that we lose the trail. It could be that Elisha and Rosanna separated, and she changed her name; "Anna" sounds nice, doesn't it? With that hypothesis, we find Elisha Wilson (39) in 1870, living in Forest Co PA without any family. We still don't find Rosanna and Emma. William DeCoursey says Rosanna died in 1906, but we don't know where that came from. Perhaps other researchers will be more successful.

71597

Abraham "Abram" B. CORSON was one of the children living with mother Margaret in 1850. About 1857 he married Isabella/Belle DAVIDSON (1836 - , Scottish parents) and moved to Philadelphia, where his family appears in the 1860 through 1880 census records. Abram was a blacksmith; people drove horses in those days, not automobiles, even in Philadelphia. He served in the Civil War in Mann’s Independent Co C, PA Mil. Inf. Abram and Belle had two daughters.

Belle must have died somewhere between 1880 and 1894, because in 1894 Abram married Jennie B. Corson, widow of Milton W. Corson (#7159A). In 1910 they were living with # 7159A.7 Ernest Corson, a son of Milton and Jennie, in Genoa Twp, DeKalb Co IL, where Abram later died. There were no further children from the new union.

71598

See the biography printed in the October 2003 issue of Corson Cousins.

Further information about Augusta, the "Sagebrush Artist", and her family can be found in the April 2002 issue of Corson Cousins.

We don't know what happened to Mary Corson after she appeared in the 1850 census with her mother. There is reasonable speculation that she married Thomas DAVIDSON and eventually died in Philadelphia in 1906. That's what William DeCoursey shows on his Website.

Beyond that, there is a tantalizing clue. You've probably noticed several names here spelled "Davidson". Are they related? In the 1860 Philadelphia census (where we would expect it) is a family headed by Jannett Davidson; her children listed there agree with the names and ages we have been discussing (with the exception of Isabella who married Abram several years earlier, anyway). Comparing Jennett's family in 1870 adds to the likelyhood. If all those Davidsons did indeed come from the same family, it adds documentation for Mary Elizabeth and the rest of the Corson family as well. It may also link the other data to an 1880 census entry for Mary Davidson and son George (age 16).

7159A

Milton would have been 7 years old in 1850, but he isn't with Margaret Corson and children in the census report that year. The first time we find Milton is as a 17 year old teenager in the 1860 census, living with Martha (Corson) and George Van Buskirk, their children, and two of "Mattie's" siblings, Edward and Narcissa. We assume he is another sibling, but his "now you see him, now you don't" disappearing act has been challenging for researchers.

We know Milton enlisted 11 Dec 1861 and served in the Civil War (Co. B, 84 PA Infantry), but for the 1870 census he seems to have become invisible again. Finally, things settled down for the1880 census where he and his wife Jennie B Corson are found living in Riley, McHenry Co IL. Unfortunately, it came to an end soon after, for he died in 1883 and is buried with other family members in the Ney Cemetery a little north in Genoa Twp, DeKalb Co IL.

According to the 1880 census, Jennie was born in Maine and so were two of her children (in 1871 and 1874), leading researchers to believe Milton had been there, too. Still, he could have been single at the time of the 1870 census. So maybe the Milton who shows up in the Lycoming Co 1870 census is relevant. That entry shows Milton Corson, age 21, working in a sawmill, together with Herbert Corson, age 24. The age isn't quite "right" and we don't know why he would have been with Herbert Corson, although we know Herbert and his wife lived in Piatt Co PA in later years. It's a mystery.

After Milton died, Jennie married her brother-in-law Abram Corson (#71597). And then when Abram died, Jennie moved to Connecticut and lived out the rest of her life with her daughter Ada.

Brothers Milton and Abram were both buried with Jennie. Their joint tombstone reads CORSON in the center. Above that are the names Milton W. 1842-1883, Jennie B. 1850-1928, and Abram B. 1836-1916. Next to their grave are buried two infant sons of Milton and Jennie, George M. and Clarence J. Corson.

7159B

Ellis appears in the 1850 census with his mother Margaret Corson and several siblings. In the 1860 census, Ellis is listed with the family of his oldest brother, John R. Corson, in Genoa Twp, DeKalb Co IL. The History of Butler County, Iowa, states that Ellis arrived in Iowa in 1869 and first settled in Jefferson township, Butler Co. He is listed in the 1870 census in Shell Rock, Butler, IA, living with the John Kelly family. He and his family are listed in Shell Rock in the 1880 and 1900 censuses.

Ellis married Rachel Sowash. There are several Sowash families in Westmoreland Co in 1850 and 1860; she may have been a descendant of David Sowash, who was born in 1801 in Westmoreland Co PA, and died in Shell Rock, Butler, IA in 1880. Somewhat before 1906, Ellis and Rachel moved to Waterloo, IA, where Ellis worked for several companies as machinist and factory laborer. Both Ellis and Rachel are buried at Elmwood Cemetery, Waterloo.

7159C

As seen in census records, she was a woman of chameleon names. In 1850 she is Narcy (or even Nancy), living with her mother and siblings. In 1860 she is Narcissa, living in Lycoming Co with siblings and cousins in the George Van Buskirk household. In 1870 she is Clara, living with her husband (William Henry MUSGRAVE) in Marion Twp, Ogle Co IL. In 1880 she is Charlotta, living in Noble, Marshall Co KS. In 1900 and 1910, she is again Narcissa, in 1920 she is Clara, and in 1930 she is Narcissa.

She married her husband about 1869 and was widowed between 1910 and 1920, still living in Kansas. In the 1910 census she states that she had four children, two living, but we only have names for three of them:

“I don't know if this is the same person or not. I have a William Jennings m: Jemima Van Deren Coursen in Sussex Co. NJ 2 May 1816 by Rev. Thomas Teasdale. This was a second marriage for Jemima. Abraham Coursen died in 1814 in Stockholm, Sussex Co. (now Warren Co.) They had 8 children. This may have been a second marriage for William Jennings also. They later moved to Orleans Co. NY. Jemima is buried at Clark Cem. Murray, Orleans co. NY.” -Marcie Van Deren, Kalispell, MT 59901

Snell: Abram Coursen, a tanner by trade, bought a property and “improved the place rapidly, built a large dwelling-house, barn, and the necessary buildings for carrying on his trade. He conducted his business on an extensive scale, bark having been plenty and no tannery was then nearer than Newton. He also employed a large force of skilled laborers to work up the leather for customers. The supply of water was furnished by a spring not far distant, which also conveyed it to the dwelling by means of an aqueduct.”

Cit.33: Woodruff [p.114]

ABRAHAM, the sixth son, settled in Wantage to., Sussex Co., some time prior to 1800 (Snell, p. 290). He was already a resident when, in 1790, his wife Jemima joined him in a d deed (S.B., 275) conveying some of his late father John's [Johannes] lands near Newton. His homestead (now, 1907, owned by Mr. Ford Margerum) was situated a couple of miles southerly from Deckertown (now "Sussex"), at the more modern "Perry's Mills," between the "Pond" schoolhouse and the "Two Bridges." He established a large a successful tannery (afterward owned by Thomas Teasdale); was ahead of his time in conveying water by aqueduct from a spring to his house; and is recorded in the books of the First Baptist Church of Wantage (commonly known as the Papakating Baptist Church), between his homestead and Deckertown, as a member in 1796, his wife's name appearing as present at meetings. In his will (S.A. 349, 1814) he named his wife Jemima, and, among his children, David, Sarah, George, William, Richard. Search through all neighboring graveyards has failed to discover his tombstone, and it is perhaps one of those fallen, with inscription underneath, in the Papakating (now Deckertown) cemetery, where the contemporary members of his church were buried.

Abraham Coursen (1760 - 22 May 1814) was the sixth son of Johannes and Geertruyd Courssen of Fredon (Sussex County) NJ. He left a will, naming his wife and at least some of his children. I've seen the abstract: COURSEN, Abraham of Hardiston. 1403S - W. 22 May 1814; Filed 2 Jul 1814; Sussex Co. Will Abstracts (August 2, 1999).

Does anyone have a facsimile copy of the full will?

The abstract and Woodruff's account agree that Abraham married Jemima {Jemiah] Van Deren (or alternative spellings). They had the following children named in the will:

Sons: George, William, Jacob, Richard, John, David and Andrew Bray.

Daughters: Sarah

Researchers have paired George with Nancy Seward, Sarah with Septimous King, and Andrew with Sarah Rhodes Sisson.

Who can add to this record? Did the other children marry as well? Did any of the couples have children of their own? Where is the documentation for what little we think we know?

I am off of Vontile Coursen from this family who settled in Beemerville area. Joseph H. Coursen married Mary E. Shafter 11/14/1844 and I have them having four children. Your William Edwin, Emma Louise, Edgar Greshom and Sarah Lucilla. I have Joseph's obit but I doesn't say where he is buried. I am looking into him being buried in Stillwater. Sarah Lucilla b. 1859 d 1899 and from the obit, that was a terrible loss to him. Edgar was married twice, and I don't have any information on Emma.

READ FAMILY CONNECTIONS

ESPYVILLE CEMETERY

Espyville Cemetery is located in Espyville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania on the grounds of the United Methodist Church.

! Coursen, Family plot. This includes 8 stones in a single line as follows (from left to right): "W. H. Coursen," "Elsy Coursen," "Mother," "Aaron R. Coursen" (includes his two wives and one of his sons), "Father," "Mother," "Jacob Coursen." The stones labeled father and mother (both of them) are associated with the graves of Aaron R. Coursen, Sarah Coursen and Dorinda Coursen. See below for details concerning the individual stones.

! Coursen, Aaron R., Oct. 22, 1833 - Dec. 5, 1895; Sarah, Wife, Jan 10, 1836 - Oct 21, 1864; Dorinda, wife, Aug. 3, 1829 - Jan. 6, 1895; William M., Mar. 11, 1857 - Jan. 18, 1917. Aaron Reed Coursen was born in Warren County, New Jersey, the son of William Hampton Coursen and Sarah Ann Read (grandson of Aaron Read and Margaret Fortune or Fortner). His mother died nine days after his birth. Aaron Coursen migrated to Crawford County, Pennsylvania with his father William Coursen, grandmother Elsy Kerr Coursen and his uncle Jacob Coursen between 1833 and 1840. Aaron married Sarah Fonner, the daughter of Jacob Fonner and Margey Bennet. After her death in 1864, Aaron married her older sister Dorinda as his second wife. William McKendra Coursen was Aaron and Sarah's eldest son. Aaron, Sarah, Dorinda and William are also buried with Aaron's father, mother and brother Jacob. There are smaller stones on either side of this large stone which are labeled "Mother," "Father" and "Mother."

! Courson, Elsy, wife of Daniel Coursen, Died Feb. 12, 1856, aged 7_ yrs, __mos & 13ds. Elsy was born Elsy Kerr in Sussex County, New Jersey. She married in Hardwick Township, Sussex (now Warren) County on January 31, 1802, Daniel Coursen, who died in Warren County, New Jersey. Elsy migrated to Crawford County, Pennsylvania with her two sons, William Hampton Coursen and Jacob Coursen between 1833 and 1840. She resided with her son William (whose wife Sarah Ann Read had died in New Jersey in 1833) and kept house for him and his son Aaron Reed Coursen until her death in 1856. Elsy is buried with both her sons, her grandson Aaron Reed Coursen (and his two wives) and her great-grandson William M. Coursen (who was born 13 months after her death).

! Courson, Jacob, born Aug. 6, 1802, died June 17, 187(2?). Jacob Coursen was the son of Daniel Coursen and Elsy Kerr. He was born in Sussex (now Warren) County, New Jersey. Between 1833 and 1840, Jacob migrated to Crawford County, Pennsylvania with his wife Mariah Bowman, his widowed mother Elsy Kerr Coursen, and his widower brother William Hampton Coursen. Jacob's farm appears adjacent to his brother's farm on most censii for the period 1840-1860. Although he had a rather large family, there are no stones for his wife or any of his children in the Coursen family plot. Jacob sold his farm to his nephew Aaron Reed Coursen in 1868, so it is very possible that his family left the area. Jacob is buried with his mother, his brother, his nephew Aaron, Aaron's two wives, and Aaron's son William M. Coursen.

! Courson, Lizzie O., 1859 - 1935; Meltha V. Coursen, 1868 - 19[date not cut] Elizabeth Ophelia Coursen (known as Lizzie) and Meltha Valnette Coursen were half sisters and first cousins! Lizzie was the daughter of Aaron Reed Coursen and his first wife Sarah Fonner. Meltha was the daughter of Aaron and his second wife, Dorinda Fonner (who was Sarah Fonner's older sister). The sisters were born and raised on their father's farm in South Shenago Township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania. They received the home farm at his death in 1895 and resided there through the early part of the twentieth century. By 1920 they had moved across the border to Bloomfield Township in Trumball County, Ohio. Lizzie died there in 1935. Meltha is supposed to have died in 1945. The sisters are buried in a different part of the cemetery than the rest of the Coursens in this listing (the other coursens are all buried together).

! Coursen, Meltha V., see Lizzie O. Coursen.

! Courson, W.H., died Feb. 1, 1884, age 82 yrs. William Hampton Coursen was the son of Daniel Coursen and Elsy Kerr. He was born 16 May 1802 in Sussex (now Warren) County, New Jersey. William married Sarah Ann Read the daughter of Aaron Read and Margaret Fortune or Fortner on on 16 November 1832 in Warren County, New Jersey. Sarah Ann was born 3 February 1810 in Knowlton Township Sussex (now Warren) County, New Jersey and died 31 October 1833 in Warren County, nine days after the birth of her only child, Aaron Reed Coursen. William never remarried. Between 1833 and 1840, he migrated to Crawford County, Pennsylvania with his son Aaron, his widowed mother Elsy Kerr Coursen and his brother Jacob L. Coursen and his family. William's farm appears adjacent to his brother's farm on most censii for the period 1840-1860. His mother Elsy lived with him until her death in 1856. William then resided with his son Aaron and his family until he (William) died in 1884. William is buried with his mother, his brother, his son Aaron, Aaron's two wives, and Aaron's son William M. Coursen.

! Coursen, William M., see Aaron R. Coursen.

! Fonner, Dorinda, see Aaron R. Coursen. Maiden name is not given on the stone.

! Fonner, Jacob, Born Nov 4, 1818, Died Feb 18, 1902; Margery, his wife, Born Dec 25, 1816, Died Nov. 30, 1868. Jacob Fonner was born in Sussex County, New Jersey, the son of James Fonner and Altia (or Auly) Newell. His wife was Margery Bennett, a daughter of Anthony Bennett and Nancy Espy. She was born in North Shenago Township in Crawford County, Pennsylvania. Jacob migrated to Crawford County with his parents in the late 1820s or early 1830s. He and Margery had several children. Two of their daughters, Sarah and Dorinda, were married to Aaron Reed Coursen as his first and second wives respectively.

Date: Sun, 14 Mar 1999 21:03:47 -0700

From: Roy and Marcie VanDeren <rmhc@bigsky.net>

To: NJSUSSEX-L@rootsweb.com

Subject: Van Deren list up and running at Rootsweb

Just to let you folks know. There is a Van Deren list now at Rootsweb. In Sussex Co. the Van Derens descend from David and his wife Magdalena? through their children:

John Van Deren and his 3 wives: Elizabeth Johnson, Mary Shaeffer/Shaver, and Elizabeth Salmon

Jemima Van Deren m: Abraham Coursen

Effie Van Deren m: Benjamin Predmore later moved to Tioga Co. NY

While searching for others, these entries were noted:

Charles Coursen, 1849

1880 MO census: teacher single

1900 CO census: Charles W (Aug 1849 OH PA PA) living alone as boarder

1910 CO census: Charles W (1849 OH PA PA) living alone

1920 census - DNL

A different Charles 19 NJ and Mary 15 NJ appear in the 1870 Sussex co census, as individual entries several lines apart; my guess is they were brother and sister. Found nothing in 1880 Sussex County census to correspond with this Charles, and no close match anywhere else based on NJ birthplace. Similarly, no match was found for Mary. However, both have downstate possibilities not explored further.

Consider: explore names of people with whom Charles and Mary were found in 1850. Also: search again for Sussex County marriages.

starting with George H. Coursen and census reports for 1860, 1870, and 1880; no report was found for the 1850 census, and so far his father has not been identified with reasonable certainty:.

Note: These were all real people. A record of sorts exists for each one, but there isn’t enough information to connect them to the rest of the family. In other words, they probably are members of the family, but we don’t know enough to be sure. Names have been grouped broadly, however, where they seem most likely to fit.
