John Letson
--------------------------------------------------
Birth: bef
1710, Warwick, England
Death: bef
1790, Warwick, Kent Co., RI
Immigrant ancestor. Immigrated to RI
reportedly with two brothers from
Coventry or Warwick, England. Was
made a free man, 6 May 1746 in Coventry.
Occupation was a farmer.
See Colonial Records of RI, Vol. 3,
p.165.
It has been reported that he may
have indentured himself for free transportation to America. This has not been documented.
From Rhode Island Genealogy
Register, Vol 1, page 339. South
Kingstown Town Council:
"TC of SK 10 Mar 1728/29, P. 76
of the South Kingstown Council Records."
"The clerk shall send an order
to sitation to site Thomas Price, Edward Hammond (?), John Thomas, Jno (?)
Liniz, John Jackson, JOHN LETSON, Charles Gamble, John Smith all to appear at
next TC."
P. 78: "John Linn to depart out of this town with his family
between this & the first October next. Order of this council is JOHN LETSON be not received into
this town although he do procure a Certificate from NK (North Kingstown) and
that he shall forthwith depart out of this town."
This information is the earliest
known mention of John Letson in RI.
RJL thinks that he was probably not yet married to Mary Smith. He might then have been approved. By 1731 they were married as noted in
North Kingstown Deeds listed below.
[A note about the towns: On the third Tuesday of June, 1772, by
act of the General Assembly of His Majesty's Colony of Rhode Island was passed
to divide the Town of Kingstown into two towns to be called NORTH and SOUTH
KINGSTON. If the line of division
established went through anyone's property, the side where his house sat
determined his town. The previous
town records were to be divided between the Town Recorder of each new town.]

All Letsons of Kent Co. originally
came from Washington Co., Providence
Plantation.
--------------------------------------------
John and Robert Letson Sr., both
emigrants from England, may have come as brothers, unmarried, to the Boston
area after 1692. They settled first in nearby North Kingston, Providence
Plantations, now Rhode Island, named by the Dutch - "Island of Red
Flowers". Roger Williams, a first settler, father of free religion, was
expelled from the Pilgrim colony. Rhode Island is only thirty-seven by
forty-nine miles in area.
Therefore, the Letson families moved very few miles while there
---Kingston, Exeter, Richmond, Coventry, West Greenwich are only short
distances apart. In 1700's, another Letson settled in New Jersey where they
still hold annual reunions and picnics across the border in Nazareth, PA.
(Note: This Letson was probably a brother or cousin of John and/or Robert.
Research is needed to determine and document the probable relationship.
JLY;1/1991) Up to 1776, the English pound was used in business transactions;
after 1776, the Spanish milled silver dollars were used. The Biblical names of their
children denote English Protestant religion; while Liberty, Freeborn, etc.
denote separation from Old English rule. When Howard Letson, bachelor, of South
Haven, MI dies, the John Henry Letson branch ends. Source: Cornelius Bus, South
Haven MI (Mr. Bus spent three years collecting data. Errors have been noted.

Note: Unverified information
"suggests" that John Letson (and possibly his brothers) may have
lived in Connecticut before living in Rhode Island.

(The Coventry RI Census of 1774
gives the same information as the 1782)
Was Constable for the County of
Kent, RI in 1785.
Census of 1790 gives his residence
as Coventry Town, RI with I male over 16, 2 males under 16, and 2 females.
INCORRECT DATA!
Was married to Hannah Albro (?) on
28 Sept 1760 by Jeremiah Crandall, Justice of the Peace in So. Kingston,
RI. This was recorded by James N.
Arnold in his 1804 VITAL RECORD OF RHODE ISLAND 1636-1850 First Series on page
22 as:
"1-106 LETSON Michael, of North
Kingstown, and Hannah Albro, of Richmond R. I.; by Jeremiah Crandall, Justice,
Sept. 28, 1760." And
this recording was repeated in an article by Alden G. Beaman in the Rhode
Island Genealogical Register, entitled "Washington County, Rhode Island Marriages
to 1850 from James N. Arnold's Vol 5."
These two sources are frequently
cited, but the photostat of Vol 1 page 106 of the South Kingstown records reads as follows:
CORRECT DATA!
"Recorded Jan 28th, 1762 -
September 28th 1760 Then was Michaiel(sic) Letson of North Kingston &
Hannah Osbon(sic), of Richmond both of Kings County, joyned together in
marriage by Jeremiah Crandal, Justice" The name Albro as reported by Arnold,
and repeated by Beaman, appears to be an error. The handwritten document indicates Osbon or Osborn. A photocopy of the document is in the
hands of Robert J. Letson, Tucson
AZ 85711.
It is difficult to read the Osbon or
Osborn name in the above photo copy.
RJL can not see the "r" in Osborn, but other persons who more
often read old documents say the name is unmistakenly Osborn.
NOTE: There are discrepancies in
dates and places for John Henry Letson.
THREE sons whose names and birth
dates are known: Isaiah-1802; Samuel-1803; John Henry- 1811
(WHO was the John Henry born in 1770
or was this "John Letson II?)
RJL comments: the birth dates above
1802-1811 do not fit this generation.
1782 Census listed Michael and wife
both between 22 and 50 with two males
under 16 and two females under 16.
1800 US Census NY, Oneida County,
Augusta, Whites Town:
Letson, Michael, one white male over
45; one white female over 45
A page long note in ELetson's
materials presents the following with no sources.
Michael Letson
He was a son of John Letson and Mary
Smith, born in Coventry, R.I. 1738. Married Hannah Albro (sic ?) of Richmond,
R.I. Sep 28 1760. Her parents were
favors of the king in England.
Michael had six children: sons, William wife Mary, John wife Esther,
Isaiah wife Sally, three daughters: Ann husband John Stafford, Ester husband
Edward Carey, Abigail husband George M. Pettis. Michael served part time in
Revolutionary War. Was a large land owner, next to his brother Ephraim in
Coventry. Over twenty land deeds are recorded. Children were all born there. Active in church. In 1790 he
left Coventry, had sold out, and began the long trip across Connecticut to
Augusta near Oriskany Falls, Oneida County, N.Y. Many moved from Eastern seacoast westward as new land opened
up. His three sons and daughter
Anna Stafford also came to Augusta while his brother John Letson and several
cousins settled in Albany and Duchess Counties, N.Y. The Falls area was hostile
Indian country, a fort was built for family protection. Michael died Dec 21, 1801. His wife after in 1805, buried in East
Hill Cemetery. Son Isaiah was executor. Michael's farm was sold to son-in-law
John Stafford. Children Anna and
John died also in Augusta. Very
active in church affairs. William
and Isaiah left for new country Aurora, Erie County 1815.
[Historical note: In 1674 the General Assembly of RI
approved an act to obstruct the Connecticut Colony from using jurisdiction in
Narragansett County and established therein a Township called Kingstown.]
[Historical note: On the third Tuesday in August 1741 an
act was passed for incorporating the west end of the Town of Warwick into a
Township, to be distinguished and know by the name of Coventry. This means that births after this date
could occur in Coventry whereas before that date the same residence would
reside in Warwick.]
Spouse: Hannah
Osborn
Death: abt
1805, prob. Oneida Co., NY
RJL has copy of marriage
certificate. See note under her husband Michael
concerning this certificate.
ELetson's notes strike out Albro as
the proper name and instead list Hannah
Osborn. No birth date given, but died after 21 Dec 1801 Augusta
NY. buried
in East Hill Cem. Augusta NY. Some one should check this out.
Also see notes under her husband for
marriage information.
RI Vital records show a Nathaniel
Osborn who married a Hannah. They
had seven children, the first of whom is:
Hannah OSBORN-12136 ;Born: 23 Aug
1703 South Kingstown,Washington Co.,RI[1]
While it might appear that she could
have been the wife of Michael, she would have been too young.

are listed with in the 1850 census with Rowland Letson, Sr. and his
family. They may have belonged to
some other family and were just living in their home at the time of the

these two names should be those of son Albert Henry Letson and his wife Matilda
Electra (Finch) Letson. This
appears to be true.

From Mrs. Kenneth (Dolly) Francis;
6975-12 Olean Road,South Wales NY 14139
(Winter, 1990)
"Rowland Letson, son of
Revolutionary Soldier, William Letson as confirmed by the will of William
Letson at Buffalo, Erie Co. NY courthouse. Rowland Letson came to Aurora
Township in 1810 from Augusta, Oneida Co. NY. He was the first Letson to the
Aurora area. By 1816, he was
married to Joanna (last name unknown). She had known the Letson's for 47 years
(since 1807) in an affidavit written in 1854. It is stated that Rowland was first
married to Getty (Gertrude?). Possibly she was buried in Oneida County before
1816. She had 3 or 4 children as
did Joanna. In 1810, Rowland was 23 years old. He was a pioneer settler as Western New York opened to
settlement in 1803.
He is listed in the book:
CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY,
NY by Crisfield Johnson, an East Aurora author who is buried in Oakwood
Cemetery, p. 184 where he is listed as being a new resident of Aurora in 1810.
Rowland Letson may have been in the
War of 1812.
===========================
Note: As of 6/1990, I do not know
which of his children were from which wife if he was married twice. It is felt that Ziba, Pamela and Getty
were by his wife Getty, the rest by Joanna. Until it is known which child
belongs which mother, they will be listed under Joanna.
Duane Almquist gives the following
information from a probate case dated August 16, 1854 for Rowland Letson's
estate & petition for Administrator by Joanna Letson. Here she names - Albert H. Letson,
Rowland Letson, Ziba Letson of Ohio, Getty Clark of Virginia and Harriet
Dunning of MI; and Lyman Stafford, Charles Stafford, Albert Stafford, Harriet
Stafford, Eunice Stafford, Joanna Stafford, Sarah Stafford & Levi Stafford
children of his (the last line of his copy was unreadable).

Grace reports an 1880 Census from
Genessee Falls, NY with James and wife Scharlotta with Lydia, George, James
Rodman, Esther, and Charles. Mary
is not listed, she had already married Kellogg.
Information from an email 08 March
2001 from Grace Grissom.
"When James and Scharlotta
passed away, just 15 days of each other, my grandfather purchased a plot in the
Masonic Cemetery in Eugene, Oregon.
They have a tall headstone there.
My grandpa, Charles Willard Letson and my grandma, Emma Hannah Leabo
Letson and my parents are all buried there.
I have a copy of the deed where
James deeded the farm in Eagle Village to his 2nd oldest daughter Mary Letson
Kellogg. I wonder why he did not
deed it to his oldest daughter Lydia?
. . .I also have a copy of the deed where Mary Kellogg sold the farm a
year or so later to a neighboring farmer."

Email from Carol Ann Hansen 07 Dec

"My great grandfather Charles
Willard Letson: His head stone at the Masonic Cemetery, Eugene, Oregon read
like this: 'Charles W. Letson,
Oregon, PVT CO C 2 REGT ORE INF SPANISH AMERICAN WAR, March 18, 1870 March 27,
1962.'
He is layed to rest next to his wife
Emma Leabo Letson, his daughter Esther May Letson (Hansen), her husband George
Waltor (sic) Hansen, Sr., Charles (sic) Father James B. Letson, and is (sic)
wife Saharalotta. Saharalotta is
how it is spelled on the marker she shairs (sic) with her husband, James B.
Letson they died with in 13 days of each other from Erysipelas; infectious
disease, inflammation of the skin, accompanied by fever. Charles had the stone carved so I
believe this is the correct spelling even thought (sic) it is Charlotte in
other places, I also think her last name was Willard, yet not sure."

The following from Joy Rogers May
2000:
Timothy was a farmer at Griffin
Mills NY in early life. Being the eldest
of a large family of children, much
responsibility rested upon him. He was
much devoted to music played an
instrument in the Baptist choir, being a
member of that church, a Good Templar,
and Democrat. A daughter writes: " He
belonged to the State militia and
was a member of the band. I have heard him
tell of being in Buffalo when it was
a small city and in danger of an attack
from the British. He was impressed with the silence of
the stern, set faces
of the men who watched the British
boats that passed the city, not knowing
what moment the boom of the cannon
might be heard. His pride in
always
having his word as good as gold, his
always 'do unto others as he would have
them do to him' made him a man much
respected and beloved by all. He
carried the mark of the Ranneys with
him, hair as fine as silk and skin that
remained soft and fair though
subjected to hard labor. "

--------------------------------------------------
Birth: 1772,
Coventry, Kent Co., RI
Death: 18
May 1848, East Aurora, Erie Co., NY
"He left RI for Augusta, now
Oriskany Falls, Oneida Co, NY in 1790's. Was Executor of his father's (Michael)
estate at Utica, county seat. Sold his father's land to brother-in-law, John
Stafford and his wife, Anna Letson. In 1815 and moved to Aurora, Erie County,
NY in 1817. Isaiah and children
Samuel, Calista and John Henry were baptized in the Griffins Mills
Congregational Church (now the West Falls Presbyterian Church)
"Isaiah Letson Sr., born in the
late 1700's in originally Tryon Co. (Now Oneida) was one of three sons of
Michael and Hannah Osborn ( often reported in error as Albro) Letson who have
been recorded on the census of 1790 at Kent in Covington, RI. The 1770 census
at Coventry lists several Letson households. In 1731, John Letson and his wife, Mary Smith signed land
deeds at N. Kingston, RI and it is thought, by some, that he may have arrived
in the 1600's in Connecticut.
There is a marriage certificate filed for Michael and Hannah Osborn
Letson at S. Kingston known as Kent, Coventry, RI-Providence Plantation."
"Isaiah was active in school
affairs as well as church. Was a pioneer in Erie County where he bought 160
acres of timbered land and made the lumber into a fine home. With the opening
of land in Michigan, some of his children: Hannah John Henry and Isaiah went to
Van Buren County. By 1860 over 50%
of Michigan's population came from NY State"
"Isaiah Letson was a large man,
over six feet tall and weighed 212 pounds while his wife Sarah (Blanchard) was
a tiny woman who could stand under his outstretched arm and weighed about 98
pounds" "Samuel Letson (son of Isaiah and Sally) was called
"Abe" because of his resemblance to Abraham Lincoln: "Myron
Letson" (son of Samuel and Sally Stafford Letson) was born in a log cabin
near Darien Road".
The above information was obtain
from the records of Evelyn Lee Letson of Red Bluff, NE and Robert Letson of
Tucson, AZ.

RJL finds no authentic source for a
birth date. One source listed 1748
another
source gave her birth year as
1750. Both of those are wrong and
they were
entered with question marks. RJL
feels that her birth date is probably closer
to the christening date, but he has
no evidence for either. The date
entered
above seems reasonable in that is
makes her eight years younger than her
husband. Nevertheless it is just a guess.
Her death date is also subject to
error. In the 1855 census under
the listing of Joseph McCay is listed mother, Sarry Nelson (Letson???) age 76
born in RI. If this is Sarah
Blanchard Letson, her birth date would be around 1782.

Jan 1880, Phoenix, Oswego Co., NY
The following was a note attached to
a copy of a segment of the 1870 census for
Schroeppel Township, Oswego County,
NY. (Writer unknown).
"John Henry Letson had a
brother Samuel Letson, according to the tradition
of his descendants. It might be that this brother is listed
in the 1880 census
if John Henry Letson is not listed,
as he died on January 1, 1880.
It is my
understanding that the 1880 census
shows the names of the parents of the adults
in the family, hence I had hoped to
find the name of the father of John H.
Letson (Note: his father's name is
Samuel Letson and he also had a brother with
the name of Samuel. See Family Group
Record for Samuel Letson, Sr.) I have
listed the children in the order
furnished me by the descendant however, it
would appear likely that Silas H.
Letson was one of the younger if not the
youngest child in the family. In order to find the order of the
children, it
may be necessary to search the
1890 census as I as first wrote in
my letter. For
information about John Henry Letson,
it might be possible to determine who his
father was from the so-called
Mortality Schedules, which the New York State are
filed in the State Library in
Albany. These lists contain the
names and other
information about persons who died
during the twelve months previous to the
taking of the 1880 census, and since
John H. Letson died on January 1, 1880,
should be listed in the Mortality
List."
The 1870 Census showed:

253-239 William Letson age 19 born NYS
John Letson age

born NYS
p. 498
3-3 Johnnie Letson age 15 Farm Laborer born NYS
John Henry Letson enlisted 18 Aug

York City.
John Henry later moved to Erie Co.

The following was received via email
from Edward Ever
"The story of Grace Hill and
her marriages will make a good book some day. Grace Hill was a strong willed, independent woman, shortly
after her son Everett Edward Letson was born she discovered that her husband
Edward Letson had been unfaithful to her. Grace left Edward and Everett and
went to Pittsburgh, PA she found work as a waitress and eventually opened a
rooming house. She sent money to Grandma Letson ( Emma Fletcher Letson) to help
support Everett. When Everett was 8 years old Grace went to visit Everett said
she was going to take him out to dinner and did not take Everett back. She took him to Pittsburgh, PA with
her. Grace raised Everett in Pittsburgh.
She lost her rooming house during the depression. Ran a speakeasy during
prohibition later turned it into a supper club. Grace went to New York to attend the funeral of Edward
Letson in 1961. She did not attend the church service but was seen at the grave
site for the burial. Grace stayed in the area for 3 days visiting friends and
family. She proclaimed to all that she would never go back to New York
again. Grace was given the
nickname "BOBO" by her grand daughter Colleen Grace Reilly Estok, the
name was used by all in the local family till her death."
"Each of the marriages below
have been, verified through the state of New York and/or Pennsylvania. All
documentation remains in state files for future viewing if desired. Copies of
all documentation is on hand in the genealogy files at the Reilly, Jr.
household.

assumption based on school records at Allegheny High School And Latimer School
in Pittsburgh, PA that are in the name of Everett Letson and there were no

Myron H. Letson
--------------------------------------------------
Birth: 15
Feb 1827, Colden Township, Erie Co., NY50
Death: 16
May 1902, Holland, Aurora, Erie Co., NY51
He was born in a log cabin near
Darien Road.
In 1901 he signed an affidavit on
behalf of his Daughter-in-law,
Charlotte Barnard Letson so that she
could obtain custody and the Civil
War pension for her orphaned
brothers and sister (Harold, Philo and Esther
Barnard).
From the 1865 NY Census for the town
of Colden, Erie Co., NY:
131 Frame 100
Myron Ledson 33(?) M Erie Farmer
Elma Ledson 31 F Wife Erie
Eugene Ledson 13 M Child Erie
Levy (Levi) Ledson
11 M Child Erie
Lilly Ledson
9 F Child Erie
This family name is Letson. The enumerator just had it wrong so not
only is his writing hard to read it appears to sometimes be wrong. Myron and Elma are married and have had
three children. Myron is listed as
a Native Voter and a Land Owner.
[ Myron's age here is incorrect; it
is very difficult to read]

The Census of 1880 for Colden gave
the following information:

Martha Letson 47 Wife
NY PA ME
Clifford Letson 13 Son PA NY NY
Hannah Lewis 21 Niece

The above information was obtain
from the papers of Evelyn Lee Letson.
There has not been a mention of a
"Martha Letson" before.
Elma did not die
until 1900 and is buried next to
Myron in the Oakwood Cemetery. It is also
noted that the birthplaces for the
parents of Myron and son Clifford are
probably incorrect. No Letsons of this line were born in
Maine to my
knowledge.
====================================
From Letson family Bible which was
in the possession of Gordon B. Letson, a
telegram to Myron Letson from H. J.
HODGKINS on October 25,1888.
"Mother is dead. Funeral Saturday, our house-Elma,
1:00".
H. J. Hodgkins may have been known as
"Bert".

Obituary
DIED
Letson - At her home in Holland, NY,
June 20th 1890, Harriet Adell Letson, Wife
of Clifford Letson, aged 21 years,
11 months, 10 days. She was a
member of the
E.A.U. No. 448.
"Tis when loving hearts are
parted,
Some to wait on earth alone?
Each to take life's heavy burdens,
Saying "Lord, Thy will be done".
Our loved one is free from sorrow,
Only we must bear and wait,
Thinking of her ever waiting--
Waiting at the pearly gate."

Said to have "come East"
when she was 13 years old. This would have been about
1885. It is believed that she
suffered from severe asthma as a child. Perhaps
this is the reason she came East. It
is unknown as to with whom she lived in
the "East" which would
have probably been the Holland, Erie Co. area. She must
have been sent to live with a
relative or very close family friend. Who? I do
not believe she ever lived in
Michigan. Perhaps she "came East" when her
parents and siblings moved to
Pentwater, Michigan.

Birth: 10
Jul 1892, Holland, Aurora, Erie Co., NY79
Death: 13
Jan 1984, E. Aurora, Erie Co., NY
Served in the U.S. Navy on the first
U.S.S. Iowa. He enlisted in the Navy March l, 1909 at about age 17. in Buffalo,
NY His description on his discharge papers dated February 28, 1913 at
Philadelphia, PA are as follows:
Age: 22 years, 7 Months
Height: 5' 10 1/2 "
Weight: 162 pounds
Eyes: Grey (deep grey/blue actually)
Hair: Brown
Complexion: Ruddy
Personal Characteristics and Marks:
Enlarging ring (?) 2sc. below right knee; m.r. shld.; Ter.phal of r.ring finger
missing; scbase l.index finger.
He was a 32nd degree Mason and a
member of the Blazing Star Masonic Lodge in E. Aurora. He was a Past Master. He
was also a member of the Odd Fellows in E. Aurora.
During the Depression years he
prospered fairly well building Gas Stations. When WWII came, he had to give up
the business because of in inability to obtain pipe and other materials
necessary to the business yet required for the War effort. He then went to work for Bethlehem
Steel from which he retired in the 60's.
He was never one to be happy working
for someone else and personalitywise he was never the same after going to work
for Bethlehem. He used to get into arguments with Ethelinde for his seeming
lack of money sense. There was an
occasion when after a lean period, economically, payment had been made on work
he had done and he took a good portion of the money and bought a red peddle
fire-engine car for his five-year old son, Clifford and a two-seater doll swing
for his eight-year old daughter, Janet.
On the Fourth of July he would buy
the biggest and most expensive box of fireworks he could find. On Easters he would bring home the
biggest Easter baskets he could find plus boxes of candy. He was a very bighearted, generous
person and I doubt if he ever would have become rich as he probably would have
given most of his money away.
He was known for his strong
opinions, his stubborness; for his often unkind tongue to family members. But a
bigger heart could never be found in a man. There was never any question but
that he would be there for his family; that he would protect them come what may
at the expense of his own life.
He believed strongly in honor. His
business partner was an alcoholic and embezzeled a great deal of money from the
company. There was never a question of Gordon B. Letson filing as bankrupt
which would have been a much easier way financially but he felt honor-bound to
make sure that everyone was paid what was due them. He would never have had it
otherwise. He would never go back
on his word nor break a trust.
When his second wife, Nina Martin
lie dying shortly after the birth of their daughter, Janet Elizabeth, she made
him promise to never part her from her grandfather. He kept his promise to him
although it must have been very difficult for him and for his second wife at
times as they continued living in the Martin house on Olean Road in East
Aurora, NY until he purchased it from Grandfather, George Martin for $7,500 in
1945 when George retired from the
poultry business and moved to the warmer climate of Asheville, N.C.
He was an emotional man who hid his
tears. Some of his writings as Master of the Masonic Lodge were poetic and
inspired. Under different life circumstances he might have been a great writer.
Instead, life was filled with hard labor for him. He was a very spiritual man.
His daughter, Janet, recalls that
when she was about 6 or 7, she came home of Sunday School and proclaimed to her
father that because he didn't go to church he was going to go straight to
Hell. He took her by the hand and
they went out into the field where he grandly waved his arm across the vista
and quietly proclaimed that THIS was his Church.
There was never a stray or hurt
animal that he found or which came to the house that he did not care for, feed,
groom and tend to wounds if necessary.
The Martin/Letson house was located
on a main road (which meant that in the 1930's it had two lanes). Pennslyvannia
Railroad tracts ran behind the house between the fields and the woods. As a result during the Great
Depression, men whom we called Hobo's would come by the house and ask for a
place in the barn to sleep on a cold or rainy night; or they would ask for
something to eat. Ethelinde always had a pot of something cooking on the wood
stove for these guests. If Gordon was at home they would be invited in to eat
at the table in the breakfast room. If he was not home or if Grandpa Martin was
not around, they would be given a heaping plate of food and they would sit on
the sunroom steps and eat their fill. One day, young Janet puzzled because she
had been cautioned against talking with strangers (she would also follow them
if not watched) and here they were being invited into the house or at least the
sunroom to have a meal. She asked
Ethelinde why she feed all these men who would come by. Ethelinde replied "Because you
never know which one might be Jesus knocking at the door".
He enjoyed his beer, elderberry wine
and what he called "a snort". He enjoyed his odiferous cigars. But
when in his 60's he developed a potential lung condition, he quit both of his
"vices" cold turkey.
Genealogy post from Janet Letson Yates about her
father:
"Gordon B. Letson was my
father. Dad was married three times. His first wife was Daisy
"Taylor" who had a son named Gilbert. His second wife was my mother,
Nina Martin, who died shortly after I was born. His third wife, to whom he was
married for 52 years, was Etheline Cooper. They had my half-brother, Clifford
in 1933. I would love to have information of Daisy's family to add to Dad's
biography. Once or twice a year, we would visit or be visited by members of the
Armstrong family in Batavia. Lovely and handsome people. One of my Dad's nieces
by marriage to Daisy married Joe Precore. This is all the information I have on
Daisy plus knowledge that she was about 10 years older than Dad and that she
died in 1928. Daisy is buried beside my mother in the Letson plot in Oakwood
Cemetery in East Aurora NY. I also have a picture which I believe was Dad and
Daisy's wedding photo. Unknown persons are probably Daisy's family. Will share
information I have and would greatly appreciate any information on Daisy's
family. Janet Letson Yates Scottsdale AZ"

and that "Joseph H. Letson; Son of John Henry Letson, our grandfather -
came here (Michigan?) with his sister Ella and brother, Osmer Letson. They married
and died here."
Michigan was the North West
Territory when Joseph Letson and his wife Rosetta came from Aurora by canoe
when the state opened, and especially New Yorkers came and by the end of the
Civil War more than 60% were made up by them and they called their Mich. cities
by the names they left behind in New York state.

Orrin Letson came to live in Iowa
with A. S. Gould in 1870
From: History of Palo Alto County, Iowa, by McCarty, Dwight
Gaylord, Torch Press, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 1910, p 95:
"The tide of homesteaders that
flowed into the county continued steadily on the increase. During the years 1869-70-71-72 not only
the homesteaders, but also the homeseekers who bought their land, came in great
numbers to find locations on Palo Alto County farms. These new comers, mostly with large families, seemed to
settle in clusters, forming a sort of community with opportunities for social
intercourse and neighborhood friendships. . . ."
Ditto" p 99:
"In 1870 John and Pat Galleger
settled on section 28 and later . . . Amos Letson . . . and others came to that
neighborhood."

Orrin Wolcott Letson, grandson of
Orrin Letson, tells that Orrin Letson and wife Hannah King came from Erie Co.,
NY to Palo Alto Co., Iowa, and lived five miles from Emmetsburg, Iowa. They lived in a sod house the first
winter.
After Hannah's death (which occurred
in 1880), Orrin married Polly Ann CLARK, 11 Oct. 1881, daughter of John and
Elizabeth (STITT) Clark who was born 6 Nov. 1828(30) and died 25 Sept. 1912.
She is buried in the Evergreen Cemetery, Emmetsburg, IA. [She may have come from Canada.]

These entries show that Amos Elwood,
son of Orrin Letson, and family were in Iowa in the censuses of 1880,1895 and
1900. He later went to California,
perhaps to be near his daughter Mable or more likely his youngest child, son
Elwood, who was born 14 Feb 1895 according to his death notice. It would seem that Elwood should have
been on this 1895 census if he was born in February..
The Letson family settled in Laton
Ca in 1905. "Both Amos Elwood Letson (1850-1929) and his son
Elwood Jay Letson (1895-1970) were
Fresno County employees supervising county road maintenance over the period 1905-1960. Both farmed as
well, and Amos had his own
"transfer" business (trucking, in the days of horse-drawn
vehicles). The street, however,
was apparently named Letson Ave. simply because Amos & Ella Letson's farm was the principal farm located
on that road. They are of the line
John Letson-Michael-Isaiah-Orrin Letson,
by his marriage to Clarissa King."

An interesting story written in Jan
2006 by Merritt Letson, grandson
of Orrin and Hannah (King) Letson is recorded here in his words:
"My grandparents homesteaded a
farm outside of Cylinder, IA. This
was in 1868 or 69 (actually 1870).
My dad was Jay or Orrin Jay Letson, Jr. Cylinder creek ran through one side of the homestead. There was a grove of trees by the
creek. A small group of Indians
camped in the grove. The Indians
and my grandparents live together peacefully for several years. One very cold winter day, there was
knock at the door of my Grandpa's sod hut. When Grandma opened the door there was a brave, squaw and a
small baby. The brave asked
Grandma if she would take the baby and squaw in, as the baby had lung
fever. Grandma being a Christian
lady, said, 'Of course,' She
nursed the baby back to health.
The brave visited several days a week to check on the progress. In the spring, they returned to their
camp and all was well. The next
spring there was an incident in a tavern in Spirit Lake, where 2 Indians were
killed in a challenge by some drunks.
It angered the tribe around there and they went on a raid, killing or
burning white settlers and their farms.
Soon after these incidents began, Grandpa was plowing a firebreak around
their buildings and party of Indians came to the door. They told Grandma that they were going
to cut a special mark on the thresholds of the buildings with their
hatchets. That would tell raiding
parties that these people had been good to the Indians and the raiders were to
leave them alone. A short time
later, there was a company of US Cavalry that came by and quartered their
horses overnight in Grandpa's barn.
They proceeded to quell the Indian revolt. The Spirit Lake massacre is well documented in the history
of Iowa."

President of the Tulsa, Oklahoma
Audubon Society - January 1, 1944.
An article by John Tomer in The
Scissortail - the News Bulletin of the Oklahoma Ornithological Society, Vol.
30, Number 3, Fall Issue, September 1980:
"In Memoriam: Orrin W. Letson (1893-1980)
Orrin W. Letson a long-time resident
of Tulsa and an active member of the Oklahoma scientific community died July 6,
1980 in Tucson, Arizona. He leaves
his wife Ethel Letson and sons
Joseph W. Letson of Yellow Springs, Ohio and Robert J. Letson of Tucson, eight
grandchildren and three great grand-children.
Although Letson spent most of his
professional life as a Chemist for Sun Oil Company in Tulsa he worked from 1934
to 1942 as a Naturalist for the Tulsa Park & Recreation Department in
Mohawk Park. He spend the rest of
his life seriously pursuing his interests in nature study, particularly ornithology,
and conservation as a hobby.
He is well remembered by earlier
members of the Tulsa Audubon Society, having been a member from its beginning
in 1935 to the present. He held
many offices in the Society, among which were 2 terms as President in 1944 and
1945 and for many years was Chairman of the Unusual Bird Records
Committee. Orrin's knowledge of
Tulsa County bird records was phenomenal and the Society's carefully considered
records of those years are a tribute to his studious method. Ethel's interest and activities on
behalf of the Society, most notably as Recorder during the years 1943 through
1956, kept pace with Orrin's and they were both awarded Honorary Life
Memberships. Orrin will best be
remembered as the compiler and author of the Society's 1954 booklet "A
List of Birds Seen Near Tulsa in Fifteen Years by Members of the Tulsa Audubon
Society."
He was a member of the Oklahoma
Academy of Science for many years and published, as a co=author, 6 papers on
Northeastern Oklahoma bird distribution in the Academy's Proceedings during the
years 1948 through 1956.
He was also an early member of the
Oklahoma Ornithological Society, joining in 1951 soon after it was
organized. He served the Society
as a Director on the Executive Board during 1954 and 1955 and on the Conservation
Committee for several years.
After his retirement from Sun Oil
Company in 1958 he moved to Sarasota, Florida where he was active as Recorder
for the Sarasota Audubon Society.
In 1971 he received the Sarasota County Conservation Award medal from
the Florida State Wildlife Federation in recognition of his outstanding service
in the field of Florida wildlife conservation."
Spouse: Ethel
Sutherlin Latshaw
Birth: 17
Nov 1896, St. Louis, St. Louis Co., MO
Death: 24
Mar 1984, Tucson, Pima Co., AZ
Notes from her memorial service, conducted
at Trinity Presbyterian Church, Tucson Arizona:
Ethel Sutherlin Letson was born in
St. Louis, Missouri 87 years ago.
She grew up in St. Louis and Columbia, Missouri. She even attended the 1904 World's Fair
in St. Louis. She graduated from
high school in Columbia and went on to business college. During her high school years, she met a
student at the University of Missouri named Orrin Letson and it proved to be a
relationship that would continue for a lifetime. When he went into the service in World War I, she went to
Jefferson City to work in state governmental offices. When the war ended, their relationship resumed and in 1920
they were married in Minneapolis, where her parents were then living.
They returned to Columbia where
Orrin earned a masters degree.
From there he went on to work as a park naturalist, then as a chemist
with an oil company.
Ethel liked the outdoors. She had been a Campfire Girl in earlier
days. She now joined her husband
in becoming avid Audubon people; hiking, birding, compiling a long life list of
birds, serving as recorder for her local society, and working in area
conservation programs.
She was active in school affairs,
first with the PTA and then as PTA representative to the League of Women
Voters. She was always involved in
election processes, as judge or observer, while her husband stayed late to
count the votes.
During the difficult times of the
depression in the 1930's when Orrin was out of work, she kept things together
at home and worked part-time in the community. She was small, but dynamic, concerned about her husband, her
children, grandchildren, and her community.
After living much of their married
life in Tulsa, Oklahoma Ethel and Orrin retired to Sarasota, Florida where they
remained active in Audubon and conservation activities. The came to Tucson in 1980, because of
Orrin's health, but he lived just a few days there, dying just a few weeks
before they would have celebrated their 60th anniversary.

"Those receiving Bachelor of

"Seniors of 1945 end College
Careers:
"Joseph William Letson A chemistry major and a biology minor,
Joseph William Letson finished his college work at the end of the winter
quarter.
"Joe hails from Tulsa,
Oklahoma. He graduated from Tulsa
Central High School in 1941 along with 900 other students and came to the
College of the Ozarks in the fall of 1942 (actually 1943) as a transfer student
from the University of Oklahoma with 48 term hours to his credit.
"Joe's scholastic achievements
are outstanding. Finishing with a
grade point average of 3.78, Joe has been elected to Who's Who Among Students
in American Universities and Colleges and has been elected to junior, senior
and graduate membership in Alpha beta Phi. During his senior year he served on the chapel, social, and
intramural committees, and acted as co-chairman of the Student Christian
Association.
"Joe's rare disposition is a
blend of serious intent, telling satire, and good humor. Sadly he acknowledges that he had to
give up his chief pleasures of wine, women and song: that since his marriage in
1943 he has forgotten how to whistle.
"After the war Joe plans to go
on to school."

An email from Carol Anderson
Ballard, provided the following quote from a 1987 Christmas greeting to
Kenneth, Carol and Vin:
"I chose the little Currier and
Ives scene for the seal because it reminded me of an experience I had when I
was 4 years old. Mother and I went to Emmetsburg in the cutter. It was a
sunshiny day and the top of the snow melted a bit on the roads. Mother's
errands took longer than expected and it was night before we started home. By
that time the melted snow had again frozen making a very smooth fast track.
Mollie, long retired from field work, knew she was headed home and showed what
she can still do in the way of speed. There was no moon, but the Northern
Lights flickering and dancing on the horizon and the ceiling of stars so near it
seemed one could reach out and pluck a handful made a dreamy night. Snuggled
safe and warm under the buffalo robe by Mother's side, I gave myself up to
enjoyment of the beautiful wonderland we were traversing. The memory of that
magical ride has returned many times to renew the happiness of that far off
time. It was an unforgettable experience. Christmas Greeting to you all and may
1988 be filled with such heartwarming experiences for each of you."
Another email from Carol contains
this brief biographical information:
"My name is Harriet L.
Anderson, legally. My complete name is Harriet Letson Anderson. I was born
September 12, 1895 on a farm-land homesteaded by my grandfather, Orrin Letson
in Palo Alto County, Iowa, the third child and second daughter of Asel
Wilkinson Letson (1861-1945) and Edith Alvord Letson (1868-1946). Both families
had their American beginnings in Colonial Boston, Massachusetts in the early
1600's. My siblings were Edna Mary (1891-1971), Orrin Wolcott (1893-1980) and
Asel William (1903-1972). I was named Harriet for a cousin of my father's whose
claim to fame was that her red hair, when undone, reached to the floor, and for
my maternal grandfather, Justin Alvord, whose grandfather, Job Alvord, was a
captain in George Washington's army during the revolution." (A search of the family records,
indicate that this cousin with the red hair must have been Harriet McKay,
daughter of Joseph and Rachael (Letson) McKay. She was a first cousin to Asel Wilkinson Letson, and it is
believed these two families were close together.)

--------------------------------------------------
Birth: 31
Jul 1872, Emmetsburg, Palo Alto Co., IA
Death: 20
Sep 1966, Marshalltown, Marshall Co., IA126
Served in the Spanish-American War
from 5 Apr 1898 to Nov. 30 1898 as a private in Co. K, 52nd Iowa Regiment
Voluntary, Infantry, 3rd Brigade, 5th Army Corp. Also had charge of the regimental mail. Discharged in Des Moines, IA, 31 Nov.
1898.
In 1909 Jay Letson was granted a
Land Patent Certificate No. 2825 for ". . . for the Lots three and four and the east half of the
southwest quarter of Section seven in Township eight north of Range nine east
of the New Mexico Meridian, New Mexico, containing one hundred sixty and
sixteen hundredths acres."
"Jay and Tessie, and their
babies Horace and Percy, boarded a train in Emmetsburg for Estanchia, NM. They homesteaded 160 acres of flat
prairie land along the main road from Estanchia to Moriarity,. Dad build a sod shelter for Tessie and
the babies and then dug a well with a long handled shovel. The land was ideally situated over an
aquifer that would never be depleted.
The nearest neighbor, who helped him build the shelter and where Tessie
and the babies stayed until all was ready, were 6 miles away. Signals were worked out with gun shots
to ask for help, because the foothills of the mountain range to the west were
close enough to echo the sound.
With a buckboard and horse borrowed from the neighbors, mother was left
to homestead these 160 acres. . . .
When they had jackrabbit drives, neighbors built v-shaped fences and
herded rabbits into the fences.
They then shot them and collected what they could use to skin, butcher
and preserve for winter food. They
plowed the rest under. The meat
was always distributed equally among the settlers taking part in the drive. Jay continued his work in the south
(Georgia and Alabama) working for International Harvester which had developed a
power harvester/binder. . . . He
continued this job for the 18 months that Tessie spent in NM with a few
furloughs to see how it was going down there."

" A gal just sent me 1830 RI census -- it had names on it I didn't
know -- all of them Letsons. I'll just have to tell you about Amos
Letson who was listed as black. His mother was Dinah Letson. Dinah was the daughter of Ephraim, who
was the son of John the Immigrant.
Dinah was never marr. but had Amos - Amos never Marr. but I have Rufus
as his son who is listed as black and a daughter Nancy who is listed as white.
Nancy marr ________ Trask. Now
here comes an 1830 census where Amos is listed as head of household and the
children are all listed as full colored -- 7 children in all. What do you think of that?" "Amos owned quite a bit of land
& left a will." [ RJL has this letter. Eve did not provide the source for this information, nor did
she show it on the data sheet she filled out for Ephraim.]

2 white males of 16 but under
26 (Thomas
and Freeborn. but we
show them 29 and 27)
1 white male over 45 (Ephraim)
1 white female 26-48
(Dinah)
1 white female over 45 (Mercy
Ann)
1 all other free persons (ie. Black) (Amos)
Dinah is most certainly the one
female 26-48 (her age projects to 31), and the other free person which listed
as black in one report, but the form only says other free persons, meaning non
white, must be her young son, Amos.
The census gives no ages for the non-whites.
1810 US Census, RI, Kent Col, West
Greenwich:
Ephraim Letson with:
1 white male 10-25
1 white male over 45
1 white female 26-44
1 white female over 45
No other persons listed in this
household.
Could these be Amos, Ephraim, Dinah,
Mercy Ann ????)

There is a citation in the Vital

It would seem likely since Abigail,

"Lyman Letson was arrested
Saturday on a peace warrant and taken before Justice
Hitchcox who held him for
trial. It is reported Mr. Letson
is persecuted by
relatives who think him incapable of
taking care of his property and it is
further said that they went so far
as to induce his friends to refuse to go to
his bail bond; but by the strenuous
efforts of his counsel, Mr. Chas. Addington,
bail to the amount of $500 was
secured.

A Question about family #34-35
Fisher, Samuel and family [Now the mystery is --- who is this Hannah and who is
this Sarah J Fisher. If Hannah is
90 years old and the widow of John then some of this information is hard to handle. If Hannah were the
mother of Sarah she would have been 46
when Sarah was born. Sarah
was born in NY and her parents were both born in RI this would match being a daughter of John and Hannah.
However, there are more
confounding bits of information here. We have the cemetery tombstone
information for the original Hannah, it gives her dod as 31 Jan 1890, so this
must be another Hannah. This 1900 census indicate that Hannah had mothered only one child and had one
living child, and that Sarah had
mothered 4 children of whom 3 are still living. We know that Willard,
one of the children of John and
Hannah is still living and the information received from Rick recently raised the number of children I have
listed for John and Hannah to six,
and not all others had died before 1900. It may be that the information on the number of children
by Hannah (and perhaps Sarah) was just
not listed correctly in the 1900 census. I have two daughters listed
for John and Hannah, Louisa and
Cynthia.]

Author: Donald R. Williams
Arcadia Publishing, 2002, page 180
"The old hermit's camp on
Gilman Lake, originally one of the 40 Mud Lakes
found in the Adirondacks, was the
home of Willard Letson. Regarded as a
hermit, Letson did some guiding in
the Adirondacks and worked as a handyman
at the Klondike Hotel at the head of
the lake. The landlady of the hotel and
her boyfriend got mixed up in a
jealousy situation and the boyfriend killed
Letson in May 1906. The murderer got
a life sentence, and the hotel burned
down the following September."

Hartland township. One of his sons, Nelson, died in Clarksfield in 1900. A
daughter, Harriet, married Aaron L. Pixley and died in Clarksfield in 1843.
Jacob Rounds, a brother of Isaac, came to Clarksfield in 1838 and lived near
Whitefox, but returned to New York. A daughter of his married her cousin, Nelson
Rounds, and lives in New York, since the death of Mr. Rounds. Another Rounds
family, cousins of Isaac and Jacob, also lived in New York, of whom five sons
and one daughter came to Clarksfield about the same time, 1836-37. Isaiah
married a sister of Mrs. John Converse and they lived on the Butler road north
of Whitefox until 1840. He died in Wisconsin. Darius married a sister of
Seymour Waldron and died in Michigan. William W. married Esther Higgins, a
daughter of Jonathan Higgins, and they lived just east of HamlinÕs corners,
then moved to Wakeman township, then to Wisconsin, where they died. Their
daughter married William Converse and is living in the west. Cyril lived here
until 1845. He once lived in Dr. McMillanÕs log house south of HamlinÕs
corners, then on the Butler road near John McDonaldÕs. His children were Orton,
Mary, Margaret and Elizabeth. He died in Wisconsin. Lane Rounds lived here
until 1840, but died in New York. Esther Rounds was the wife of Freeborn
Letson. Two younger brothers, Washington and Nelson, lived in this vicinity,
but probably not in this township."

He operated one of the first stores
in that area at the intersection of Brinton Rd. and Coleman Rd. in Isabella
County. In the store was the post
office which he also operated for many years.
Sirrel and Anna had a most
disastrous situation with the deaths of their children. Orrin, Oliver, Myrtie,
Loren, and Torgin died between the 13th and 25th of May 1875 of Scarlet
Fever. Of the triplets, Mary S.,
Mira, Nonia; Nonia died on the date of birth, Mira 17 days later, and Mary S.
survived only 9mo/15ds.
Also Sharon Ashley provided the
information that, " When Burt was cleaning his gun and it accidentally
discharged killing his young sister Belva, Burt was so grief-stricken he
'grieved himself to death'. He
died in Dec. after Belva was shot in Jan, 1889."

not got around to naming him before the census was taken.
