1810 US Census in Iredell, North Carolina
1810 US Census in Iredell, North Carolina
*There is no numeral 1 for John, age 50. We assume this is a transcription error. "Three copies of most federal censuses were created. The local census taker first created a draft copy as he walked from house to house to question the residents. He later copied by hand a second draft for the state, and a third copy for the federal government. Copying errors often resulted in slight differences between the various copies." -FamilySearch.org

Elijah Marlow was the son of Mark Marlow

1880 US Census record for Joseph Brutsché.
1880 US Census record for Joseph Brutsché.
In Denison, Grayson, Texas. Both of Joseph's parents are recorded as having been born in France, instead of Germany and Switzerland, their true places of birth. This could have been driven by antipathy towards Germans in Texas following the Civil War, during which many Germans refused to fight on behalf of the Confederacy. This was because Many Germans emigrated from Germany to escape conscription, and were opposed to slavery on religious grounds. According to his obituary, Joseph arrived in Texas in 1872, when Civil War memories were still very fresh. Another data point is the fact that Joseph's mother Jeanette Brutsché had advertised as early as 1828 in Philadelphia selling the finest in 'French Millinery,' so perhaps the desire for the family to appear French began with Joseph's mother.

This desire to be non-German could also explain the change from the German pronunciation 'BROOT-shee' to 'bru-SHAY,' as bru-SHAY might more easily have been seen as a French surname. Our grandmother, Jeanette Brutsché, led us to believe she was of French ancestry, perhaps she did not even know of her German heritage. This is not as strange as it might seem, we have found others in our tree who have misidentified their origins.

Listing Charles E. DeCillo and his wife Margaret, with the same age and birthplace as Margaret Reynolds, correct ages of first marriages, (to each other) plus Margaret Reynolds' parents were in fact born in England and Ireland. So either Charles remarried his first wife Margaret, or perhaps never divorced her.

A 1903 Thomas B. Jeffery Rambler, the model owned by Edward H. Strahorn
Thomas B. Jeffery started commercially mass-producing automobiles in 1902 and by the end of the year had produced 1,500 motorcars, one-sixth of all existing motorcars up to that point. The Thomas B. Jeffery Company was the second largest auto manufacturer in America, behind Oldsmobile. 1,350 additional automobiles were produced in 1903, so Edward's #2337 was likely produced in 1903. Mr. Jeffery boarded the ship RMS Lusitania on 1 May 1915 to travel to France to discuss a contract for the sale of Jeffery Armored Cars. He survived the sinking of the Lusitania, and reflecting on his escape, decided to step back and enjoy the remainder of his life pursuing travel and leisure. So in 1916 he sold out to the Nash company, and the combined enterprise was renamed Nash Rambler, which was eventually merged with Hudson Motors in 1954 to create American Motors Corporation.
