French Connection :

Recently, another huge contribution has been made by Pierre Souvay, of Epinal, France. He has provided the connection between Charles Vincent Vauthier, and our Ancestry in France. I had found a Charles Vincent Vauthier with a Birthday of 22 January, where we had 21 January, but could link him positively to our Charles Vincent Vauthier.

Until now.

Thanks to Pierre, and all the genealogical information he has shared, we can now make the connection.

Charles Vincent Vauthier was married to Marie Louise Vuillemin and had three children. There also were a fourth and a fifth, who also shared his name, but were born after his immigrating to America. There were judgements in France which contested Charles Vincent's relationship to these children.

The Judgement in Hadol, France, declared that Charles Vincent Vauthier was not the father of Marie Georges (Vauthier), and the child would not be able to bear his name, nor to belong to his family. It was with in this judgement, which referred to Charles Vincent Vauthier's known residence at that time to be Hillsboro, Texas. This coincides with our records for Charles Vincent Vauthier, and provides our French Connection.

My Sincere Thanks to both, Kenneth and Pierre for their major contributions, and hard work.

Best,
Mike

Thirteen Generations of Hurt Family

Thirteen Generations added to the Ira Octavius Hurt Family, all the way back to Glouscester, and Ashborne, England.

Before we had Minnie Bell Hurt's Father Joel Hurt with birthdate of about 1818. After searching online I found reference to Ira O. as a member of Joel and Harriet Hurt family. It was within a paragraph describing a Mr. Barron in 1869 who had married Virginia M. Hurt, who was a daughter of Joel and Harriet (Farris) Hurt. The paragraph processed to list the family members, which included "Ira 0., Texas;". The pdf file is entitled, "History of Cooper County Missouri by W. F. Johnson".

Minnie Bell Hurt is the wife of John David Ragland, and Mother to my Grandfather George Wallace Ragland.

Mother's Name for Lois M. Vauthier

Found the Mother of Lois M. Vauthier name to be William Tressie "Willie" Robertson.

The search for Lois M. turned up a web site which listed family members for "REEVES FAMILY of White County, Arkansas". Willie Robertson was the daughter of Amelia Ann Reeves, of Newark, Independence County, Arkansas, who married William "Bill" Robertson. Lois is the daughter of my Great Uncle Charles Albert Vauthier and William Tressie "Willie" Robertson. The only real discrepancies that I noticed were that they listed Charles Albert Vauthier, as "Charles Albert Vauthier, Jr son of Charles Albert Vaultier" as you can see his and his father names were incorrect, with his b father being Charles Vincent Vauthier; they also listed their son as "Dean Albert Vautier", instead of Charles Dean Vauthier.

Charles Albert Vauthier is the Brother to my Grandfather Just Arthur Vauthier.
