Ancestry of Florence Foster Jenkins | |
---|---|
1 | [Narcissa] Florence Foster, b. Wilkes-Barre, Penn. ca. 1866 (ae. 4, 1870 census) or ca. 1868, d. at her residence [the Hotel Seymour, 50 W 45th St.], New York, N. Y., 26 Nov. 1944, ae. 76 [New York Times 27 Nov. 1944 p. 23]; m. [ca. 1885?] by ca. 1893 "Dr. Frank [Thornton] Jenkins, son of Rear Admiral [Thornton Alexander] Jenkins" (Frederick Clifton Pierce, Foster Genealogy... [Chicago, Press of W.B. Conkey & Co., 1899, hereafter Foster 1899], p. 1014, #9503) (div. 1902). In 1880 Frank "P." Jenkins, b. D.C. ca. 1853, single, a physician ae. 27, DC-VA-MD, was living in the D.C. household of his father Adm. Thornton A. Jenkins (LDS 1880 U.S. Census Transcription, Washington, D.C., FHL #1254122/NARA #T9-0122, p. 264D, online at www.familysearch.org, seen 8 June 2004); he was the son of the admiral by appar. third wife Elizabeth G. [or Presley] Thornton (m. Baltimore 1 July 1848) [IGI]. In 1893 H. C. Bradsby called Dr. F. T. Jenkins "of Philadelphia" (History of Luzerne Co., Penn. [1893], 2:907). Who Was Who in America 4:492 calls her a "soprano [and] pianist," who attended Virgil School and Henry Gaines Hawn Dramatic School, and grad. Heyl Dramatic School, Philadelphia Music Academy; "gave song recital at Washington, D.C. Club, also Historical Society, Newport, R.I., gave annual song recitals, Ritz-Carlton Hotel, [New York City]; despite vocal limitations, essayed most demanding Mozartean and Italian arias; performed as soprano soloist at White House; also pianist for Sänger-fests throughout U.S.; most successful concert given at Carnegie Hall [25 Oct. 1944], shortly before [her] death.

Charles Dorrance Foster,
b. Dallas, Penn. 25 Nov. 1836,
living 17 So. Franklin Street, Wilkes-Barre ca. 1899
(Foster 1899, p. 1013, #9448, devotes a full page to him;
see also H.C. Bradsby, History of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania,
with Biographical Selections, 2 vols. [Chicago, 1893, hereafter
Luzerne 1893], 2:906-907, photo facing 1:75),
d. Wilkes-Barre 29 Sept. 1909 (will online:
www.rootsweb.com/~paluzern/patk/cfoster.htm).
He may have been named for Rev. John Dorrance, an early minister
(1833-1861) of the First Presbyterian Church, Wilkes-Barre
(but he himself appears to have been Episcopalian;
in his will he provided for a memorial window to Florence's younger
sister Lilly Blanche Foster (d. ae. 8) in the Wilkes-Barre Episcopal church).
In early business life C.D. Foster was a protégé of
Lyman Hakes, Jr., Esq., of Wilkes-Barre. On 1 June 1870, C.D. Foster's
Wilkes-Barre household consisted of Charles D. Foster, WM 33, lawyer,
$42,000 in real estate, $10,000 in personal estate, b. Penn.,
a male U.S. citizen; Mary J. Foster, WF 25, b. N.J.;
Narcissa, WF 4, b. Penn.; Eveline Hazell, WF 28, domestic servant,
b. Penn.; Edward Gettys, BM 21, laborer, b. S.C.
(1870 U.S. Census, Luzerne Co., Penn., City of Wilkes-Barre, 2nd Ward,
Series M593, Roll 1369, p. 652, ##319-319, lines 23-27).
He was a member of Kingston Lodge No. 395, and served as toastmaster
at the centennial anniversary banquet for Lodge No. 61,
F[ree] & A[ccepted] M[asons]. 19 Feb. 1894 (Oscar J. Harvey,
A History of Lodge No. 61, F. & A.M., Wilkesbarre, Pa.
[Wilkes-Barre, 1897], p. 625).
m. Newark, N.J. 4 Oct. 1865 |
3 | Mary Jane Hoagland (DAR #29100) (Lineage Book, National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, vol. 30 [1899 admissions/published 1910, hereafter Lineage Book], p. 36), b. Hunterdon Co., N.J. (ibid.; 1860 gives whole household at Newark, N.J. as b. N.Y.) ca. 1838 (1860 census), 1845 (1870 census), 1846 (1880 census), or 1850 (1910 census); her age revised itself downward in subsequent census. She was living So. Franklin Street, Wilkes-Barre, Penn., 2 May 1910, FW 60, widow, NJ-NJ-NJ, mother of two children, one living (1910 U.S. Census, Luzerne Co., Penn., City of Wilkes-Barre, Ward 7, Series T624, Roll 1370, p. 340, ##166-182, line 4), with servant Sarah Phoenix, FB 25, single, PA-PA-PA, servant in a private family (ibid., line 5). Luzerne 1893 is no help; its sketch on her husband gives no parents for her and simply identifies Mary J. (Hoagland) Foster as "of the New Jersey Hoaglands." Mrs. Foster belonged to dozens of lineage associations, according to her obituary in The New York Times, 8 Nov. 1930, p. 17, which says she "died yesterday in the Park Central Hotel". With profuse thanks to William Addams Reitwiesner, who produced the citation to Mrs. Foster's DAR lineage. |

Foster's will [in a last codicil dated 17 Sept. 1909] provides for his Bulford half-siblings and their heirs "lineally descended from her first marriage, her name at the time of her marriage to my father being Mary B. Bulford"]. She is most likely the "B. Mary Foster" ae. 82, b. Penn., parents b. Conn., in the household of Hezekiah Wilcheck at Jackson in the 1880 census (1880 LDS CD-ROM, citing FHL #1255148/NARA #T9-1148, "p. 117A"); Foster 1899 notes of her son #2 C.D. Foster that "though his business is strictly that of a lawyer with large practice, he takes great pleasure in overseeing and managing his large farm in Jackson and makes frequent visits thither with his fine team of horses; not only as a matter of business, but also to gratify his filial devotion to his aged mother, who still resides at the modest farm-house, where she has spent the greater part of her long life, and prefers the familiar scenes and objects of her early womanhood to all the wealth and splendor that a city can afford" [a passage that must have been written before her death in 1884] (Foster 1899, p. 1013, #9448). F.C. Johnson, Rev. Jacob Johnson of Wallingford (Conn.) and Wilkes-Barre (Pa.) (Wilkes-Barre, 1904, hereafter Johnson 1904), p. 13, gives her descendants down to #1 FFJ.) |

1638 to 1891 [New York, 1891, hereafter Hoagland 1891],
p. 209) in N.J. (per 1880 census) or N.Y. (per 1860 census),
living Ward 9, Newark, N.J. on 24 July 1860, when his household
consisted of himself, described as "sales man";
wife Susan, WF 52, b. N.Y., dau. Mary, WF 22, b. N.Y.;
and Nancy [Hoagland?], BF 20, b. N.Y. (1860 U.S. Census, Essex Co., N.J.,
City of Newark, Ward 9, Series M653, Roll 688, p. 771, ##1359-1697, lines 14-17).
Heads-of-household of this name at Newark in the 1860 U.S. Census were:
Amos Hogland [sic] (9th ward, p. 771);
John Hogland [sic] (3rd ward, p. 340);
Martin Hoagland (2nd ward, p. 47);
Mary Hoagland (5th ward, p. 610) and
William Hoagland (5th ward, p. 595).
Given the 1860 description as a "Sales Man", Amos Hoagland may
have been the Amos Hoogland, WM 50, $6000 RE, $500 PE,
"commercial traveler", boarding in the Ward 9, Newark household of
William W. Berry on an unmarked day in 1870

Wyoming, Penn. by ca. 1809 (ibid., p. 1008, under #9360); after her death her widower, "in his 83rd year", left Wyoming on horseback for Shelburne, Vermont (Nash 1853, p. 59). I suspect her to be related to Ebenezer Hamlin, Jr. of Egremont and Alford, Mass., and Farmington, Conn. [son of Dea. Ebenezer and Sarah (Lewis) Hamlin of Barnstable and Rochester, Mass., and Sharon, Conn.], who with first wife Prudence ___ was baptizing children [known: John, Israel, Thankful, Ebenezer 3rd] in the 1720s; in fact, this Ebenezer Hamlin sold land in the "Shawenon Purchase" [Alford/Egremont, just NW of Sheffield] on 20 April 1762 to Phineas Nash (Hon. Hamilton P. Andrews, The Hamlin Family: A Genealogy of James Hamlin of Barnstable, Massachusetts ... [Exira, Iowa, 1902, hereafter Hamlin 1902], 1:75). Ebenezer Jr.'s brother Cornelius Hamlin (1705-1784) of Barnstable, Mass., Colchester and Sharon, Conn., Spencertown, N.Y. and again Sharon, and wife Mary Mudge had a daughter Mary, born at Colchester 25 Feb. 1735, but she apparently married a Richard Treat (later of Spencertown and Lebanon, N.Y.) in 1755 (Hamlin 1902, 1:79-80). Known children of yet another brother, Lewis Hamlin [who died of consumption caught by running out in his nightshirt at the clap of the earthquake of 1755] and his wife Experience Jenkins were too young to marry by 1755, and did not include a Mary. |

[Rev.] Jacob Johnson [Jr.],

Rev. Johnson "came to Wilkes-Barre in 1772, and was the first
permanently located minister west of the Blue Mountains, in the
territory now comprising the State of Pennsylvania. He was a
Congregationalist, the teachings of which church were for more
than half a century the prevailing religion of the Wyoming Valley.
He was a remarkable man, was especially influential with the
Indians, speaking fluently the language of more than one of the
tribes, and was a conspicuous figure on the Connecticut side,
through all the so-called 'Pennamite' troubles"
