Please click on a name and see if you recognize any of your ancestors.

Meanwhile, I would love to hear from anyone with information on the ancestry of the following pink people:

From my husband's father's tree:

John Claypoole, who was Elizabeth Griscom's (Betsy Ross) 3rd husband. John and Betsy's daughter was Clarissa Sidney Claypoole (b. 3 Apr 1785), who married Jacob Wilson (b. Baltimore, MD). They had a daughter named Clarissa Sidney Wilson (b. 9 Aug 1809), and she married James Hanna (b. 2 Feb 1806, Philadelphia, PA). James was a former Pennsylvania State Senator, and his parents came from County Down, Ireland. Their names were John Hanna and Elizabeth Patterson. I would really like to find out more about them.

James relocated to California, first San Francisco in 1850, then Eureka in 1854. Their children were John (m. Sally Bumm), Elizabeth P. (m. Captain Harry Kingston), Aquilla W. (m. Hattie Houghton), Alice Mary (m. Charles H. Liscom), James C. (m. Sarah Catherine Lothian), William Patterson (never married), Florence (m. William P. Huestis), Clarissa Sidney (m. Louis Kayser Wood), and Ella Sophia (m. Captain William Hale Fauntleroy) James C. Hanna and Sarah Catherine Lothian had 3 children: Olive E. (who never married), Catherine Louise (who married Otto John Rudloff and moved to Oregon), and Clarissa Sidney Hanna. Clarissa married Louis Pierre Dorais (of Huntingdon County, Quebec) on 6 Mar 1906 in Eureka, Humboldt, California. After James Hanna died, Catherine Lothian married Jasper Davies, and they had 3 children: Alexander, Wesley Lothian, and Annette (Boyer). Somewhere back there is a man named Charles Emile "Gus" Dorais, who was famous for catching football's very first forward pass (or throwing it??), thrown by Knute Rockne at Notre Dame, but no one is quite sure how he is related.

I have recently discovered the names of Louis P. Dorais' parents and grandparents. I know nothing more than names and marriage dates:

Leon Dorais/Doré married Virginie Brossard on 17 Nov 1863 in St. Chrysostome, Chateauguay, Quebec. Leon was the son of Louis Dorais and Desanges Heroux. Virginie was the daughter of Geoffroy Brossard/Brassard and Benonise Lanctot. Leon and Virginie's children: Louis Pierre, Cecilia (she was a nun), John B. (m. Delia Lacasse), Leo, and Pomela (m. Dennis Aumond)

From my husband's mother's tree:

Richard Fewer and Catherine Phelan, who lived on a poor farm in Kilkenny, and had 13 children. One child, Edward Patrick Fewer (born in either County Kilkenny or Cork, Ireland, d. 1 Feb 1947 in San Francisco, CA) married May Anne Devine (born August 13, 1882 in County Kerry, Ireland; d. 1 Mar 1984 in San Francisco or Santa Clara, CA), who came to the east coast (Ellis Island?) around 1900, and to San Francisco (May arrived in SF in 1902, I believe) and married there 7 Nov 1907. I have names for 5 of Edward's siblings, who came to the US: Tom, Bridget "Kitty" (Kelly), Margaret (Seery), Ella (Murphy), and Walter, (d. bef 1947). We'd like to find May's family too. Her parents were Bernard (or possibly Brian) Devine (or Devane) and Catherine Savage. May's siblings were: Patrick, John, Dennis, Catherine (Sullivan) who settled in CT, Mary, who died as an infant or child, and Hannah, who remained in Tyloch, Ireland.
