Part 413j – Smith Robertson Genealogy - Upgraded July Descendant Chart – Five Additions

Evening,

Praise be! My PC is back, again… and I’ve added another 1.5 terabyte hard drive. I’m using the two operating systems, Windows 7 and Ubuntu and they are set on two different and independent hard drives. In this way I hope that there won’t be any conflict, once again, and bring me to a standstill… But in this techno-world of the information revolution, which at times is way beyond my pea-brain, who the hell knows.

I’ve found myself backed up in my work only as I have been searching microfilms of documents and records in the exploration of my genealogy and ancestry. And this time I am following some leads of my July ancestors in the Parish Registers of Sainte-Marie de Sarlat in the Department of Dordogne, France. All-things-being equal it appears that my gggg-grandparents Pierre and Jeanne (née Colomière) July may have been from the area of Sarlat; today Sarlat-la-Canéda. Sarlat is west of Bordeaux, by about 200 kilometers or 125 miles. (The A-marker on the Google map marks the location of Sarlat-la-Canéda.)

One of my first discoveries has been the Acte de Mariage or Marriage Registration of gggg-grandparents Pierre and Jeanne (née Colomiére) July. The information provided by the Acte de Mariage is tremendous. It includes the parents of both the bride and groom, four of my ggggg-grandparents – Pierre and Magdelaine (née Vaurigeau?) July and Luis? and Catherine (née di Sabelt?) Colomiere. I also discovered, I believe, that one of the witnesses is a brother to the groom, gggg-grandfather Pierre July. This would be my gggg-granduncle Etienne July.

For the short term I have added the five-above mentioned ancestors to my July Descendant Chart. Please be aware that I may not have a correct rendition or spelling of their names. Time and further research will tell. I will be following up with my transcription and translation, as well as my sources and citations in one of my upcoming Postings… Stay tuned.

Here is my new and updated July Descendant Chart.

All comments and questions are welcomed.

Enjoy,

Jim

Bonne soirée,

Louange! Mon PC est de retour, encore une fois ... et j'ai ajouté un autre disque dur de 1,5 téraoctet. Je suis en utilisant les deux systèmes d'exploitation, Windows 7 et Ubuntu, et ils sont mis en place sur les deux disques durs qui sont différentes et indépendantes. De cette manière, j'espère qu'il n'y aura pas de conflit, une fois de plus, et me conduire à l'arrêt ... Mais dans ce techno-monde, de la révolution de l'information, qui, parfois, est bien au-delà de mon cerveau, qui sait en enfer .

Je me suis trouvé, a ralenti dans mon travail, que comme je l'ai été chercher les microfilms des documents et dossiers, dans l'exploration de ma généalogie et l'ascendance. Et à ce moment, je suis de quelques pistes de mes ancêtres de Juillet, dans les registres paroissiaux de Sainte-Marie de Sarlat dans le Département de la Dordogne en France. Il semble que mon arrière- arrière- arrière- arrière-grand-parents Pierre et Jeanne (née Colomière) July peut avoir été de la région de Sarlat, et aujourd'hui, Sarlat-la-Canéda. Sarlat est à l'ouest de Bordeaux, d'environ 200 kilomètres ou 125 miles. (The A-marqueur sur les marques Google map l'emplacement de Sarlat-la-Canéda.)

Une de mes premières découvertes a été l'Acte de Mariage de mon arrière- arrière- arrière- arrière-grand-parents Pierre et Jeanne (née Colomiére) July. Les informations fournies par l'Acte de Mariage est énorme. Il comprend les parents de la mariée et le marié, quatre de mes arrière-arrière-arrière-arrière-arrière-grand-parents - Pierre et Magdelaine (née Vaurigeau?) July et Luis? et Catherine (née di Sabelt?) Colomiere. J'ai également découvert, je crois, que l'un des témoins est un frère pour le marié, arrière- arrière- arrière- arrière-grand-père Pierre July. Ce serait mon arrière- arrière- arrière- arrière-grand-oncle Etienne July.

Pour le court terme, j'ai ajouté ces cinq ancêtres mentionné à mon Descendant Graphique de ma famille de July. S'il vous plaît être conscient que je ne peut avoir une interprétation correcte ou d'orthographe de leurs noms. Temps et des recherches plus poussées nous le dira. Je suivrai avec ma transcription et la traduction, ainsi que mes sources et les citations dans un de mes Commentaires à venir ... Restez à l'écoute.

Voici mon nouveau et mis à jour Descendant graphique.

Tous les commentaires et questions sont les bienvenues.

Profitez,

My Tangent - My Rear Window

Early Morning,

Of late I’m beginning to feel like Jimmy Stewart of his character L. B. "Jeff" Jeffries in Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window. It’s the compartmentalization that I’ve transgressed to; my genealogy and my quilt designs. There are many stories going on, developing, and even though I am a participant, I am sitting across the courtyard just peering in.

Each of my searches and treks in my genealogy work has taken on a life of its own. My Transcription Project in the search for the origins and ancestry of my ggg-grandfather James Smith has become an ultimate fixation. Each new, albeit old, document allows itself to unwind, presenting facts and figures of days gone by. Each tangent entices me to follow its trail to seek its subtle answer.

Tonight I discovered four new July ancestors...

Hallelujah to the introduction of my five-times great grandparents and two of their offspring, a gggg-granduncle and a gggg-grandaunt. I also uncovered the marriage registration of my great-great-great-great grandparents July, which of course, now satisfies a number of the questions which have confused my search and progression back in time. Check back for the details.

Another window is the email question I received a couple of weeks ago. The question is a pondering as to whether my Uncle Jim Robertson may have been the birth father of a ardent ancestor searcher. I can’t answer this question as yet but the trek and opening into the mystery of this realm certainly has got my mind racing. In such a search, question after question has to be asked... and who knows what we may discover, just around the corner. Does the Y-DNA have the answer?

As each piece of each puzzle unfolds, I sit and observe as Jimmy Stewart,as the disabled Jeff, stares out of his apartment window, puzzling at the stories befitting each and every of his distant neighbors. The fabric of the lives of my ancestors become living stories as does each of the quilt projects that we take on. The courtyard of the stories continue.

After this weekend two quilts, OP Angel and the Isle of The Misfits Toys will be delivered to their new homes. Christmas gifts of warmth and cheer.

The design and reflection of the North Carolina waves lapping the shores are the workings of a new bargello creation on the dining room table. The choice of fabrics are now taking their places. The coupled hearts electronically delivered.

Another new composition, the Bai Jia Bei, a gift of 100 Wishes begins to formulate as a trail of red thread weaves its way into the life of a child and family. And the pieces of OP Ornament drape in strips on the long-arm waiting their piecing to completion.

I am that Jeff Jeffries, the Jimmy Stewart. And I am the participant.

Regards, stay tuned, and enjoy.

My Tangent - Grub?

Morning,

I did not think I would have to be checking out for Grubs on my PC.? Hell no, not in a month of Sundays… But they do exist. And it is not a virus, nor a Trojan, nor is it a worm, even though it has that sort of connotation.

I decided to follow my routine Ubuntu upgrade, (which I normally do), and then I was contemplating working on my new database which organizes and manages the many FHL microfilms that I have reviewed. Then it happened. I tried to boot up Ubuntu, but to no avail. It won’t boot up. Hell and damnation!

Well I booted up my Windows operating system and it worked very well; and then I went looking for my problem in my Ubuntu non-start-up. It appears that there is an upgrade to a working program in Ubuntu called Grub. From what I understand, if I understand computer-ese at all, Windows does not like the upgrade to Grub… and I do not know how to fix it. I tried and tried, this weekend.

Oh and by the way, GRUB is short for GNU GRUB which stands for GNU Grand Unified Bootloader. It is a boot loader package which allows a user the choice to boot one of multiple operating systems installed on a computer.  And of course I have it on my PC.

And so I worked, in Windows on my next Indenture in the search for the origins and ancestry of my ggg-grandfather James Smith.  This next Indenture just so happens to be the smallest script writing yet. The clerk seemed to try and fit as much he could on each line which of course is giving me a challenge to my transcribing capabilities.

But have no fear, I will be back… Just as soon as I get the Grub issue eradicated.

Enjoy,

Jim

Part 412s – Smith Robertson Genealogy – Indenture Research – 1818 Archibald, James, and James Junior, Smith

Evening,

I have not given up my research or the trek of my search for the origins and genealogical ancestry of ggg-grandfather James Smith. I have just spent this past week working with a gentleman who contacted me, out of the blue, and thought that we may be connected on the Robertson side of my Family Tree. And that story will keep to the very short future.

But for the respite, I have returned to my Indenture Research project. I have just renewed and received my new tri-focals but I can honestly say that the scribe of this detailed Indenture must have used a series of quills from a genus of miniature chickens… Per David A. Fryxell in his article History Matters: The Write Stuff published in the May 2010 of Family Tree Magazine, “In 1809, Peregrin Williamson, a Baltimore shoemaker, received the first American patent for a steel pen, and Englishman John Scheffer attempted to manufacture a half-quill, half-metal pen in 1819.” And the scribe of this Indenture was trying to conserve paper. His writing is so small, I thought my new glasses were on the fritz.

The next Indenture does not appear to have any direct connection to ggg-grandfather James. There are three Smiths included in the Document: Archibald, James, and James, Junior Smith of the Jordan Hill Smiths of Grenada and Scotland.

This first part of the Indenture was written 26 June 1818 and entered to the Grenada Registers of Records 6 August 1819. The following Pages 720 and 721 are downloaded from Item 5 of the microfilm FHL [1563379].

My transcription –

Part 411s – Smith Robertson Genealogy – Indenture Research – 1819 James Smith – Sale of Property - £600.0.0 Stg

Morning...

Today’s a gorgeous day in Tampa. The Quadrupeds are fed, and the Rats have had their morning conversations with the Greys. Tinker keeps looking for the black garden snake that lives under our deck and pool.

At times this search and research for the origins and genealogy of my ggg-grandfather James Smith seems to go on and on. It appears to be an endless void, which has sucked me in. The research has allowed me to create a glimpse of his life and occupational transactions. And some of you have become impatient with the expectancies of the search. A genealogy search never ends. This is my obsession and my search. My Blog is my journal and my notes of my thoughts and my research. You are welcome to come along for the ride.

This next Indenture relates to ggg-grandfather James Smith.

This is the second Indenture following the first part in Part 410s, and embedded, half-way down the page, in the Document that I may have skipped over by accident. This Indenture is Pages 637 and 638, a continuation and a subsequent contract of the sale of the 160 english acres by ggg-grandfather James Smith to Andrew Houstoun. The funds of the transaction include One Pepper Corn, Five Shillings, and £600.0.0 Sterling. (Converting the £600.0.0 to an approximate current US amount would equal in worth, approximately US$54,046.36.)

Here are the images of the two Pages 637 and 638 as downloaded from Item 5 of the microfilm FHL [1563379] from the Grenada Registers of Records.

And my transcription –

Part 410s – Smith Robertson Genealogy – Smith Indenture Research – 1819 James Smith – Sale of 160 Acres, Mount Maitland

Morning,

GGG-Grandfather James Smith is now selling land to Andrew Houstoun; 160 english acres in the Mount Maitland vicinity, which is today a part in the Parish of Saint David.

I’m not sure why part of the Parish’s name is left blank in the Indenture. The Record also allots the property an alternate and former name of St. John’s Estate. This Indenture is the One Pepper Corn part of the contract, which will be followed by a succeeding document which will provide more details.

In my search for the genealogy and ancestral roots of ggg-grandfather James Smith, it appears that there is a location concentration to the Parish of Saint David. The question I then pose is which came first, Saint George or Saint David. Per his 1842 Last Will and Testament he leaves his Estate called Charlotte Vale to his son, gg-granduncle Thomas Smith. (See Part 347s.)

Noted in Part 266s and Part 267s and in 1828, ggg-grandfather James appears to purchase Good Hope Estate which the Document gives the impression that Good Hope Estate is situated in both the Parishes of Saint George and Saint David. The inserted map delineates the six Parish boundaries of Grenada. The “red X” marks the approximate spot of the location of the coinciding borders of the Parishes of Saint George and Saint David.

My next question is… Was ggg-grandfather James Smith originally from the Parish of Saint David, in Grenada?

Here are the downloaded images of Pages 636 and 637 from the Grenada Registers of Records as recorded in Item 5 of the microfilm FHL [1563379].

And my transcription… Please pardon the text wrapping, the scribe certainly wrote in order to conserve paper.
