Catherine was listed as "Katey Buttler" on Hannah's marriage certificate, 1898.Notes on children:Other possible children were John Ladrigan, b 1867,David Lonndrigan, b 1870. These two boys were on the 1880 census. Martha Landrigan, b 1868 Mary Landrigan b 1872. The two girls were listed in the 1880 census as age 12 and age 8. The school had no listing of them on their school records under Landrigan, Lundrigan or any L name. John and David are "biblical names", which was part of the story that Grandma told. But what about Peter or Patrick? Are these Michael, the father's, brothers?Baptism records, St. Mary's Baptisms Oct. 1847- Aug 26, 1869, list the first 4 children as "Landrigan". Martin and Mary A. are listed as "Lundrigan".Even Hannah's marriage certificate lists her name as Hannah "Landrigan" even though she was a "Lundrigan" as far as I remember Grandma referring to her.Michael was listed in the Protectory as "Loundrigan" and on the census as "Laundrigan" which makes me think that is the way they pronounced Lundrigan.In April 1879, Michael would have just turned 11, [school records right] and in 1880, he would be 12 [1880 census right].Older sister Mary would be 13, [about to turn 14 in Sept.] in April 1879. Could she be the "Martha Landrigan" who was 13 in the 1880 census? Was "Martha" her confirmation name? Kate was 8 in apr 1879 and 9 in 1880, Maggie 7 in 1879 and 8 in 1880. Hannah was 6 when admitted, 1879, and 7 in 1880 census. Martin was 4 when admitted, 1879, and 5 in 1880 census. Mary A. was 2 when admitted in 1879 and 3 on the 1880 census.In 1881, [6/27/1881] the two oldest kids, Michael [age 13] and Kate [age 10], were d/c'd to the father.9 months later, March 1, 1882, he got the other girls, Maggie [age 10], Hannah [age 9] and Mary A. [age 5] but left Martin [age 7] in the Protectory until Aug 26, 1883, when he was then d/c'd [at age 9] to his father. Perhaps he was sick, but he went back into the Protectory May 24, 1884 [age 9] and remained there until he "died." Oct 10, 1889, [age 14] was listed as death date by the Protectory.Hannah was "returned" for 2 months in 1886, from 5/21/1886 to 7/11/1886.Then Hannah was "sent out on trial" in July 1886, age 13. Who did she go with?Mary A. was "returned" 3/1/1887 [age 10] and remained in the protectory until age 16, when d/c'd to Hannah, Aug 23, 1893, to 11 Livingston Place, "NYC." (Hannah was 20 years old and marries by age 25.) How did Mary A. support herself when Hannah married? "Nurse," as in 1900 census?
Elizabeth was from Alsace-Lorraine (Austrian-French). Nana and Connie also said family was from Vienna."Elizabeth was part French and part Austrian"-Nana, 1971During 1975 interview, Nana said that Elizabeth was cousin of Gerta (husband Horst) Schlatter in Germany [Nana was unsure if she was Eliz's or JCM's cousin; was JCM's cousins I think. See JCM Gates Notes].After marrying in Louisville, Ky, they moved to Cincinnati OH and lived in the house called "Old Cardonne"Faded family history notes from Nana say that Elizabeth came over from Germany but she probably meant Eliz's mother came from Germany since censuses and death cert say Eliz was born in New Orleans, LA.On 1910 census, Elizabeth's parents are listed as being from Austria, but spoke German.Was remembered by Nana as "strong and Catholic".Elizabeth is listed on two censuses as "Elizabeth M. Gates," same on her death certificate.Elizabeth's mother, Barbara, remarried Andrew Meyers in 1856, when Elizabeth was 6 years old. They are both on the 1900 census as" mother and father in law."Connie remembered "La Coeur" as being listed in Uncle Spot's obituary as a possible last name for Elizabeth LaSalle. Obit held by Mary Reuter, Connie said. Elizabeth's death certificate cited Elizabeth's maiden name as "Lassele." It was written by her husband, John C.M.Gates. Who would be a more reliable source for Eliz's name: her husband, even though in shock at her death, or an obituary of her son, John "Spot" Gates, written by John's children (Elizabeth's grandchildren) or possibly a reporter?
"died at age 67, buried in Lima, OH and born January 2, 1854" (apparently remembered incorrectly) according to oral interview with Nana, 1975.Married in Mecca, (Trumbull), Ohio, (also remembered incorrectly...)came from Massilon, Stark, OH according to oral interview with Nana, 1975.His name was "Maiers" and George changed it to Myers."I don't know anything about him except that they came from Massilon."-Frances Lenore Myers, 1975
wide nose , little glasses "Lawrence Gates" on the 1870 census has a boy, William, age 15 living with him, who was born in Bavaria (abt 1855). Could this be his brother or cousin?"Bismarck was trying to unite northern protestant prussia germany with southern catholic bavaria and the prussians were being rough with the bavarians so they fled to the usa in 1850's."-JW
Eugene C. MacKenzie was in Lima in 1880, Ella F. Gorton was in Lima in 1880. They married in Dec 1880 and Helen was born in 1881. Most probably her birth place was Lima, Ohio.
IGI estimates place of death as Charlton but it's not in vital records...Adelos cites b: 1762, d: 22 feb 1811. Newspaper article in Columbian Phenix says: d: 22 Feb 1812, age 52, resulting in a birth year of 1760.
Nana's recipe book from relatives is inscribed:"With love and best wishes, Nov 27, 1909, Willa"(!!!!)
