Which Alta Is It ? Mother or Daughter Puzzle Solved

While wandering ancestry today I was searching hints of the siblings of my great grandmother Mabel Coleman Hall.  I found a picture linked to her sister Myrtle Alta Coleman Oberkotter.

The contributor had it linked to Myrtle and stated back said Aunt Alta age 82.

The dress led me to the 1930s and since both women lived to late 1930s the dress fit.  Except for the fact that Myrtle was born 1876 and died 1939 at the age of 63 years old while her mother Alta Cheuvront Coleman was born 1848 and lived to 1937 age of 89.  

Mystery solved this wonderful photo is my great great grandmother Alta rather than my 2nd great aunt.

I love having this photo of grandma Alta at 82 years old.

Time Travel Adventure Visiting 5th Great Grandpa Joseph Cheuvront

Genealogy Blog Party :  Time Travel Adventure 

                             

Elizabeth over at Little Bytes Of Life  has opened up a Time Travel  Blog Party. 

            

• Who is the ancestor you will meet?
• What question(s) do you need him/her to answer?
• Is there a problem you can help your ancestor solve?
• Will you reveal your true identity to your ancestor? If so, how will your visit impact the future? 
• Will you bring your ancestor to the future to meet his/her descendants? What will be the outcome, if you do ?                                       

How can I pick 1 or even 2 ancestors to visit in my time travel adventure ? 

 I have so many questions for my ancestors.  

Some questions are difficult to ask. So many secrets, so many rumors out there.  

Was one of my great uncles murdered for money or was it really an accidental drowning?

Why did one of my great grandmothers not marry the father of her child. What happened to 

him and will I ever find the real Andrew. Did her parents really disown her and did she cut 

them out of her life.

I would love to meet my great great grandpa John Lockwood and hear his stories and 

struggles during the civil war as an enlisted man.  

What decision made him want to sign up? 

I never physically met my grandmother Alta but I do believe she visits me in my dreams. I 

just want to hold her hand and listen to her stories. 

I would give anything to sit down with my grandmother Grace and share a ginger ale and 

cookie. I have so many unanswered questions.  I wish had spent more time with her in her 

last years. I was just to busy being me to give her the time she deserved. 

I will pick one ancestor to visit in my time travel adventure. 

I am going back to visit my 5th great grandfather Joseph Louis Cheuvront 

Joseph Louis Cheuvront was born on February 2, 1757, in Strasbourg, Alsace, France. He married Elizabeth Ellsworth and they had 11 children together. He then married Sarah Bollen and they had four children together. He died on August 12, 1832, in Harrison County, West Virginia, having lived a long life of 75 years, and was buried there.  Joseph was in the revolutionary war and was a preacher man. 

My questions for him are

Tell me about your parents and their parents and your siblings.

Why did you come to the united states was it really about religion and was there any royalty connections with your parents?

Tell me stories about the adventures you had during the revolutionary war. Did you see battle or were you a minister to the troops?

What was happening with your family members life that caused you to write that letter scolding them and their behavior shortly before your death?   

I would not tell him I was from the future since I may be accused of witchcraft.

Researching Cheuvront Family Line ~ Aaron Cheuvront and the Civil War

 This month I have decided to concentrate on my Cheuvront family line. The family line began in America with Joseph Cheuvront and the last Cheuvront in my family line was my second great grandmother Alta Cheuvront who married John Coleman in 1866.
 It is believed that Aaron was married three times with Amanda Matilda Grant being wife number 1, Sarah Richards wife number two and that he married for the third time to Matilda Bolin.
In researching I have found that Aaron Charles  fought in the Civil War on the Union side . He was residing in West Virginia and was in the 11th Regiment, West Virginia Infantry Company K and was a private during his time in the military.
Tonight I found at http://www.civilwararchive.com/unionwv.htm,  http://www.wvcivilwar.com/union-regiments/11th-west-virginia-infantry/
Information on the 11th Regiment Infantry the following..
In researching I have found that Aaron Charles  fought in the Civil War on the Union side . He was residing in West Virginia and was in the 11th Regiment, West Virginia Infantry Company K and was a private during his time in the military.
What I am still searching for is when he enlisted and when he was mustered out. These records can be found at the National Archives if I do not find them on the Internet.

I now know of three ancestors who fought in the civil war. Besides Aaron Cheuvront  my great great grandfather John Lockwood and John's brother Frederick Lockwood fought on the union side. Both signed up with Wisconsin Calvary and served about one year.

On or About This Day Alta Angeline Cheuvront Was Married to John Henry Coleman 1866

Alta Angeline Cheuvront married John Henry Coleman on the 01st of July 1866 in Taylor Loup, Nebraska.
Alta is one of my great great grandmother on my father's side. She was born 16th of June 1839 Knox Ohio to Lemuel and Mary A ( Rouse) Cheuvront.  She passed away on the 28th of September 1937 in Taylor Loup, Nebraska.

Happy 4th of July 2013 My Revolutionary Ancestors

Happy 4th of July 2013, another year we can celebrate our freedom thanks to those who fought for it so many years ago. 

I am what is known as a mutt. My ancestors came from several areas in Europe. England, Ireland, France, Germany and Scotland.
One of the firsts was the Day line from England, the Zion line from Germany and Cheauvront line from France.
Fighting in the Revolutionary war were the family names of
Daniel Day 14th Nov 1746 to 1830
Joseph Cheuvront  2nd  Feb 1757 to 25 Mar 1832
John Rouse 9th of  Dec 1741 to 19th Jan 1834 Pension Files found
Ebenezer Coleman 29th of Oct 1731 to 1824

There were probably other family members who fought in this war and I will be busy searching for their information.

Thanks for stopping by , hope to find the time to spend more time here sharing some of my family information. Grace

Family History Writing Challenge Day 14 to 26 Time Challenges

Family history writing challenge days 14 through 26 have not been very productive with writing my family story of Joseph Cheuvront and his family.
Working one weekend at a sports show and then life has caused me to delay getting back to writing.
Writing our family history has to be part of every day if we want to accomplish their and our story. Even if I had set just a few minutes a day I would of gotten further than I have.
No matter what, I am further along with my story than I was before the start of the month.

I have enjoyed what I have written and will continue with the Cheuvront story, because it is my families story.
I have started with Joseph's dying words, then gone into some of his life. There is much more to write there. I have researched some of the history at that time and how life was for the wife of the family.
 I then jumped to the last Cheuvront in my direct family line my great great grandmother Alta 1848 to 1937. I will write more on her life and than work backwards to Joseph's last days.

This picture is from the Schaffer Pioneer Cemetery history book. My Alta is back row on the right hand side. Sitting in front row is parents Lemuel and Mary Rouse Cheuvront. Back row on left is Sarah Ann Cheuvront Metheny and brother Thomas Jefferson Cheuvront. Sister Lourinda had passed away when picture was taken.
Are your writing your families story yet? If not why not start, even if it is a few words each week it will be the start of something to pass on to your family

AMANUENSIS MONDAY 09 JOSEPH CHEUVRONT'S LAST WORDS

Amanuensis Monday is a popular post on Mondays – An Amanuensis is a person employed to write what another dictates or to copy what has been written by another.
Since I have been busy writing my story on Joseph Cheuvront one of my fifth great grandfathers I thought this was a perfect Monday to share what I had on my grandfather, which is also the start of my book on him.


On Saturday, 24, 1832 his speech failing, he motioned for a slate, and wrote on it, " I want a plain coffin, and to be buried in a winding sheet, and brother George Collins to preach at my funeral." As he handed it to one of his sons he said, " I want you to see to it. " On Sunday he wrote this memoir of his life;
" Since God is pleased to deprive me of the power of speech, I address this to you, my children, as a memoir, which I request each of you to transcribe and keep for future generations. I was born in the city of Strasbourg, February 2, 1757, and was raised in the city of Nancy, and was educated very young. In the year 1770, being my fifteenth year, I went to England, where I stayed till the year 1774, when I embarked for America, and landed in New York. In 1778, I was converted to God; and the year following I united myself to the despised Methodists, and by them have been employed as a class leader, an exhorter, a local preacher, a travelling preacher, as a deacon, as an elder, and as a recording steward. In all which places I have, I believe given satisfaction to my brethren. I have now been in the Church fifty-three years, and never has a charge been brought against me. I do not say this to boast, but to stimulate you to support and maintain a good character. In the year 1781, at the siege of York, God delivered me from all tormenting feats, and gave me two seals to my ministry. I have filled some important stations in the state; in all which I have endeavored to establish my character and yours. I have tried to be a father to you, and with great difficulty I have raised you to what you are. I have often counseled you, and set good examples before you; and yet some of you remain unconverted, and some of you who profess religion are very superficial and lukewarm. And now I must leave you in the hands of the wicked one? May the Lord hear and answer my prayers in your behalf. This is the last advice of your dying father, try to set the fear of God before your eyes. Do not grieve one another’ live in peace and love together’ be good to your mother, and do not lie anything in her way that might grieve her. I bid you all farewell. I am truly resigned to the sufferings I now experience. I have longed looked for, and desired the hour of my dissolution. I love God and all of mankind. I feel I am bound for the kingdom of glory. Glory be to God in the highest. Remember your father was a Methodist preacher. "
  As I sat in the National Archives reading these last words of my 5^th great grandfather Joseph I felt a sense of grief, a feeling of great sadness. Five generations may separate Joseph and me but I felt as if I was at this deathbed watching him write on the slate. I wanted to know more of him, more of his life.


These words found at the National Archives are a real treasure.  It gives me a peek into his life and thoughts.
Thanks for stopping by, if you think we may be related by any of the family members I write on I would love to hear from you . Take a moment if you like to read other postings on my family.  Grace

I Have To Begin Some Where ~ Starting The Family History Writing Challenge

I have decided it is time to put some of the information I have on my ancestors into print. Time to write my first story. My first piece of family history. After over 15 years of collecting census reports, on line stories that have been passed down and any other small piece of information found I will begin.

February there is a writing challenge out in the blog world. A Family History Writing Challege.
I have decided to take this challenge, to make it a goal to write for the next 29 days. Starting on the 1st of February I will write, whether it is 250 words or 500 words I will write every day.

I have decided to start with my 5th great grandfather Joseph Cheuvront.

What has stopped me from putting my family story into words?   FEAR that is what.  After all I am not a writer.  I do write on my blog but that is for fun, to help me learn and practice my writing. A place to go out and find others who are interested in my love of genealogy.

My first story may not be great or even good but it will be my story of the Cheuvront family. It will be the first chapter of a great pioneering family. It starts with Joseph and ends with Alta Cheuvront who then marries a Coleman.  I have always been intrigued with Alta one of my name sakes

But I am getting ahead of myself. For now I will concentrate on Joseph story.

Interested in joining us on the writing challenge please do. Just go ahead and sign up .

My first question was where do I start?  I just finished reading Lynn's post on Do you have a story plan ?   Simple easy way to take a look at it. 

I have listed my bullet points on Joseph as follows

• Joseph arrives on the Virginia from France December 1773 from London
• The birth of John in France 2nd of February 1757
• The first four years in America
• Marries Elizabeth daughter of John or Moses Ellsworth
• The birth of his 11 children between 1777 to 1798
• 1780 enlisting in the Revolutionary war and continuing until the surrender of Cornwallis on the 19th of October 1781
• Elizabeth dies of Typhoid Fever the 18th of August 1800
• The story of being a Methodist minister from about 1780 and for most of his life.  A piece of his last words were that he served the Methodists as " exhorter, class leader, steward, local preacher, traveling preacher and presiding elder.
• Remarries in 1802 and has four more children with Sarah Bollen
• The next years with family, enjoying his family, his country and preaching.
• The last days of Joseph, his last words and his will.  Joseph passes away on the 15th of June 1832 in Good Hope, West Virginia.

So this is my story line, my first story line. Where it will lead me I do not know but I will share some of my challenge with you over the month of February.
Thanks for stopping by, if you think we may be related through Joseph or any other relatives listed on the side bar I hope that you will contact me.

52 Weeks of Abundant Genealogy: Week 4 Free OFFline Genealogy Tools

52 Weeks of Abundant Genealogy: Week 4 Free OFFline Genealogy Tools
A bit late but better late than never

This is Week 4 of Amy Coffin’s Abundant Genealogy series.  

Free Offline genealogy tools: Which free off line genealogy tool are you most grateful?  How did you find this tool and how has it benefitted your genealogy.

My favorite off line tool is the National Archives in Washington DC. Takes a bit of work to get there from Minnesota, but I was able to go twice while my husband was at conferences in DC back in his working days.

I would get on the subway and travel to the right stop and then walk a certain path to find my way. At the end of my day I would back track to the subway and go back to our hotel. I felt so brave wandering by myself in this big city.

At the National Archives I would enter and pass the guards through the medal detector.  I had to get a pass with my name on it and then find my way to the right floors to find what ever I wanted to search for. I would fill my card with money so I could make copies of all the records I wanted.

I was fortunate to find the Civil War records of my great great grandfather John Lockwood.  Some of those papers are his application for a pension. How he stated he had pain and was able to not work like he used to do. My thoughts at that time were and still are " Poor Grandpa ".

To find Revoluntionary records on my grandfathers John Rouse. At ancestry is this file number  information on his War pension. I was able to copy many of these papers on him.

Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty-Land Warrant Application Files, 1800-1900
about John Rouse   my fifth great grandfather.

Name: John Rouse Pension Year: 1834 Application State: New York Applicant Designation: Survivor's Pension Application File Archive Publication Number: M804 Archive Roll Number: 2090 Total Pages in Packet: 112

I was able to also find information on my 5th great grandfather Joseph Cheuvront at the archives.  He also lived during the revolutionary war. Among my papers is a copy of a letter he wrote to his children and descendants about live a good life and not being sinful, the story of him arriving in this country and becoming involved with the Methodist and traveling with Rev Henckel.  I will have to find and share this some day with you.
If you by chance every find the opportunity to visit the National Archives it is a wonderful place to search for your ancestors.

Thanks for stopping by, if you should think we are related I would love to hear from you . Grace

Matrilineal Monday Alta Cheauvront Coleman

This picture is of Alta, John and family.

Matrilineal Monday is the female line of a family. I have the Cheuvront line back to France with Joseph coming over to the United States before the Revolutionary War.

Alta Cheuvront is my great great grandmother on my father's side of the family.

Alta Angeline was born to Lemuel and Mary A (Rouse) Cheuvront on 27 of May 1848 in Four Corners, Knox county, Ohio. She had four siblings may have been a fifth sibling an infant who died but not sure at this moment. Siblings were Sarah Ann, Lourinda, Thomas Jefferson, Catherine A.

Picture is of Lemuel, Mary, with Alta Angeline, Thomas Jefferson and Sarah Ann. Daughter Lourinda was not living at the time of picture being taken.

On the first of July in 1866 Alta married John Henry Coleman. To this marriage five children. Elic Lemuel (1868-1944), Mabel Jane (1872- 1946) my great grandmother, Elmer Coleman 1875 -????, Myrtle Alta (1876- 1939), Mary (1890-????).

The 1880 census has them living in Salt Creek, Cass county, Nebraska. Living with John and Alta are Mabel, Elmer, Myrtle and Mary.

Life was not easy during the 1880's in Nebraska. They had hard winters and storms.

According to Andreas History of the State of Nebraska Cass county.
The winter of 1856 was an unusually severe one, its rigors being felt more keenly in contrast with the pleasant winters preceding it. From 1871 to 1876 came the grasshopper scourge, devastating very much of the West. The severest loss from this was in 1875 with a loss of about one third of the whole crop.In 1871, a hail storm, traversing the northern tier of precincts, cut and damaged the grain badly. In 1875 a tornado swept the country from north to southeast, beating down the grain much of was already ripe.In the winter of 1880 - 1881 was a unusually hard one. The latter part and early spring having a lot of rain. This prevented the farmers from planting their corn until later and by then the ground was cold and damp and much of what they did plant did not grow.

The 1885 census has the family can be found in the suburbs of Hebron Village, Thayer county, Nebraska. Living with John and Alta are children Alexander, Mabel, Elmer, Myrtle and Mary.

The 1900 census has them living in Rockford, Garfield County, Nebraska. Living with them is daughter Mary.

1910 and 1920 census has Alta living in Taylor, Loup county , Nebraska with husband John. The 1920 census daughter Mabel Hall and granddaughter Pearl is living with them. Mabel's husband Arthur Hall had passed away in 1919.

Husband John Coleman passed away September 20, 1922.

1930 Alta is living in Sargent, Custer, Nebraska with daughter Mary Wirsic and son in law John and granddaughter Irma age 21.

Alta passes away 28th of September 1937 in Taylor, Loup county, Nebraska at the age of 89. She lived most of her life in Nebraska as the wife of John. John was a farmer and a carpenter.

Lots of dates known in Alta's life. Want I need to do is find where her and John are buried in Nebraska.

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Degrees of Separation

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Degrees of Separation over at http://www.geneamusings.com/

Find an ancestral line that stretches back to the time of the US Revolutionary War (1775-1783), about 230 years. Define your person-to-person connection (the person actually met the next person on the list) back to a historical figure from that time.

1. Me ( 1948 to ???) I knew my daddy of course ( 1922 - 2009).

2. I am pretty sure my dad met his maternal grandmother Mabel Coleman. (1872 - 1946)

3. I would think that that Mabel would of known her maternal grandfather Lemuel Cheuvront ( 1812 - 1896)

4. Lemuel Cheuvront probably knew his paternal grandfather Joseph Cheuvront.

5. Joseph is my Revolutionary war veteran . Joseph was born in France 1755 near the Swiss border. Family tradition says he was born to Roman Catholic Parents and was educated to by them for the priesthood. While yet in his teens he came in touch with the Methodist and accepted their faith to the great displeasure and grief of his parents. His parents disowned him and mourned him as dead. He became a stowaway on a vessel bound for America and upon arrival in New York was " bound out " to John Ellsworth who paid the captain for his passage. Joseph married John's daughter Elizabeth. They had six children. Joseph enlisted in the American Revolutionary war in Spring 1780 and continued his service until the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia, October 19, 1781.
Joseph's wife Elizabeth died and he remarried Sarah.
Notes say his record of service has been recorded at the DAR and membership granted his descendants. Joseph died March 31, 1832. I started an application and did not get far. Need to try again with help from a member of the DAR.

Maybe Joseph met George Washington. I probably will never know but I am proud of Joseph my fifth great grandfather.
So that is 4 generations to my ancestor and 5 to George Washington.
I have visited the National Archives in Washington D. C. and have some papers requesting pension from his wife Sarah.

Next ancestor is John Rouse.

1. Me ( 1948 to ???) I knew my daddy of course ( 1922 - 2009).

2. I am pretty sure my dad met his maternal grandmother Mabel Coleman. (1872 - 1946)

3. I would think that that Mabel would of known her maternal grandmother Mary Rouse ( wife of Lemuel Cheuvront from above ancestor) ( 1813 - 1904 )

4. Mary Rouse probably new her paternal grandfather Smith Rouse ( 1769 - 1840)

5. Smith Rouse's father was John Doty Rouse born Dec 9 1741 in New York. Married Hannah Smith. I have the records of his service from the National Archives. The records say he served 11 months actual service as a lieutenant and captain in the N. Y. troops, Revolutionary war; part of the time he served under Capt. Thompson and Col. Graham. He enlisted at Northeast N. Y. John died January 19, 1834 New York

That is 4 generations to John Doty Rouse who maybe met George Washington.

My third known ancestor to be in the Revolutionary war would be Ebenezer Coleman Sr ( 1731 to 1824).
This line once again begins with my great grandmother Mabel Coleman

3. Mabel would of known her paternal grandfather Elic Chalker Coleman Sr. (1805 - 1873)

4. Elic Chalker Coleman would of known his paternal grandfather Ebenezer Sr. (1731 -1824)

5. Ebenezer was in the Revolutionary war per family history. I do not have his papers handy to get further information or neglected to get them when visiting Washington D C years ago. Further research needed her.

Interesting to note Mabel had 3 ancestors in the Revolutionary war. The fourth grandparent would be on the Beiler line and I do not know much of this family's history.

Thanks for stopping by tonight and viewing some of my family history. Hope to see you again someday. Grace
