Part 619s – Smith Robertson Genealogy – 1801 William, Robert, James – Belvidere, Boulogne, Madeys and Union Estates and Plantations – Part 3 of 6

Good Day,

And now on to the third session of six that incorporate my Transcription work of the 1800 Document from the Grenada Registers of Records. All-things-being equal there has been no immediate clue or hint of connection to ggg-grandfather James Smith. I can’t even say how old ggg-grandfather James was in 1800, but his first child, Eley, of whom I have an 1814 Baptism record, was born in 17 March 1812. So was ggg-grandfather an infant, a young child, or a young man at the time of the recording of the 1800 Document?

From the “S Index”of the Grenada Registers of Records the entry “Scott Alexr. & others . . . . to James Law & his Trustees Conveyance (of 2 Estates) Folio 1” includes this Document and the previous ones that I worked with in Parts 614s and the Document beginning in Part 608s and Part 535s.

In my research this proves to the point that I cannot only depend upon that which is included in the “old” Indexes… or for that matter what may be recorded in “new” Index. All-things-being-equal the “old” Index of this specific Register of Records of Grenada may have been created sometime in the early 1800s. As you can see the only surnames included in the Register Index are Scott and Law. And what does this mean? It means that I have to peruse, review, read the complete Document to determine that any Smiths, the surname of which I am concerned, are included in the body of the test. Bottom-line, there are NO shortcuts.

The following names are names that appear only on the first page of the Schedule Document; Page 34. (See Part 617s.)

Part 618s – Smith Robertson Genealogy – 1801 William, Robert, James – Belvidere, Boulogne, Madeys and Union Estates and Plantations – Part 2 of 6

Good Day,

I am amazed at the number of persons involved in the making of this contract concerning the four Plantations and Estates in the Parish of St. Patrick in Grenada. The four Plantations and Estates are Belvidere, Boulogne, Madeys, and Union. This is a part of my work, research, and search for the genealogy, ancestry, and origins of my ggg-grandfather James Smith.

From the August, 1824 Reference to The Plan of The Island of Grenada by Gavin Smith Showing The Names of The Different Estates; The Proprietors’ Names (Corrected Up To 1824); The Species of Produce Made; and The Quantity of Land Belonging To Each, published in London in 1882, I have inserted an image of Page (7) for the Parish of St. Patrick. I am able to locate three of the four Estates mentioned in this 1800 Document. The three are: 19. Union; 31. Madeys; and 35. Belvidere. Unless I am missing something the Boulogne Estate does not appear on this 1824 listing. There are a couple of “blanks” which may be Boulogne Estate, but I will not venture to confirm that at this point of my research.

And here is the next set of pages/images of the Transcription of the 1800 Document as entered 2nd April 1801 to the Grenada Registers of Records. The following are Pages 41 through and including 47. These images are copied from the Grenada Registers of Records and downloaded from Item 3 of the microfilm FHL [1563378].

Part 617s – Smith Robertson Genealogy – 1801 William, Robert, James – Belvidere, Boulogne, Madeys and Union Estates and Plantations – Part 1 of 6

Good Day,

This morning fare de table – Scrambled eggs with parsley, sriracha chili sauce and onion wrapped in roti. Fusion cuisine; most definitely… and Chopped certainly keeps me on my toes.

As I mentioned I have completed the next segment of a series of Documents dated 1800 that were entered to the Grenada Registers of Records in 1801. The set of Records is a genealogists' dream.

Let alone in my search for the genealogy and ancestry of my ggg-grandfather James Smith, the surname Smith is mentioned 36 times in this segment alone… All-things-being-equal I cannot say for certain whether the three, or possibly four unique Smiths with the forenames, James, Robert, and William in this Document are related or connected to my ggg-grandfather James.

This segment is composed of 39 pages. It has been a monumental task of transcribing. Further there are great sources of family connections and relationships included in this set, especially that of the Scott Family of Grenada. The Document and contracts revolve around four Plantations and Estates: Belvidere, Boulogne, Madeys, and Union in the Parish of St. Patrick. The inserted image is a cut of the 1801 Gavin Smith mapping of the Parish of St. Patrick, Grenada.

This segment, set of papers, follow that which I entered in my Posting in Parts 608s through and including 612s. This series of 39 pages will comprise six Postings.

From Item 3 of the microfilm FHL [1563378] here images of the first seven pages 34 through and 40.

Part 616b – Brunhammer Genealogy – 1881 Birth – Great-Grandaunt Lizzie Brunhammer – Gloucester City, New Jersey

Good Day,

And I know that I have been in abstentia from A Genealogy Hunt these past couple plus weeks… sort of. I have been working on a transcription that is one mother of a number of pages. I think it is about 68 pages. All this in the search for the origins of my ggg-grandfather James Smith of Grenada…


But one never knows, especially this man here, what one may stumble across when you take a couple of minutes to check something else out. I just thought I would do a search on another one of the Families that I research. And that I did.

And I discovered, I think one of the six unnamed children of Andy’s great-great-grandparents Jacques (aka Jacob) and Marie (aka Mary née Katz) Brunhammer.

Based on records previously discovered, especially the 1900 United States Census of Delaware County in Pennsylvania, it is recorded of gg-grandparents Jacob and Mary Bernhemmer (aka Jacques and Marie Brunhammer) that Mary Bernhemmer had had 14 children.

Our research has never, as yet revealed whether the “missing” six children had been born in France or in the United States.

But here it is; I have discovered an entry, via Ancestry.com, that per the New Jersey Deaths and Burial Index, 1798-1971, refers to one Lizzie Burnhammer. This Lizzie Brunhammer passed away as an infant at the age of 1 year and 4 months in Gloucester City, in Camden County, New Jersey. The data, transcribed from the Index also indicates that both her parents were born in France.

Eureka! This is Great-Grandaunt Lizzie Brunhammer. She was born about July 1881 in Gloucester City but died shortly thereafter. This also means that we now have on record that three of the original Brunhammers were born in the United States; great-granduncles Harry and Joseph, and now great-grandaunt Lizzie.

Amazing find… and just think of what is continuing to be revealed due to the power of the Internet.

Enjoy,

Jim
