ThruLines – Practice Due Diligence!

1 Comment

Ancestry’s ThruLines can be an excellent tool to provide clues about our ancestors. However, it is far from infallible and should be viewed much like any online family tree – AS A CLUE.

Here is an excellent example from my own tree. Regular readers have seen many posts about my Loyalist Robert Carlisle and his wife, Catherine (MNU) and my quest to find both her maiden name and the origins of each of their families.

In this case, DNA testing has not proven to be very useful. I was curious to see what matches, if any, ThruLines might provide for this couple.

First, I am descended twice from this couple from two daughters, Abigail and Catherine. Although Robert and Catherine are duly represented twice each in ThruLines matches, the first time they appear, there are ZERO matches to them. Why? I haven’t a clue.

The second time they appear, nine matches are attached.

Seven of these matches are directly to me and I recognize all the people as distant cousins, all connected to Abigail and Catherine’s lines.

However, and this is a HUGE however, Catherine’s purported father is shown as Lt. John STARKEY of New Hampshire.

Where do I begin with the problems posed here? Well, let’s start with the fact that there was no such person as Lt. General John R. Starkey. Someone has made this up, misrepresenting MAJOR GENERAL JOHN (no middle initial) STARK of New Hampshire, born 28 August 1728 and died 8 May 1822, in New Hampshire.

More problems will become evident in a moment.

My two other DNA matches are through descendants of Reuben and Sarah STARK.

The middle column represents Reuben; the far right, Sarah.

Next, I found that John STARK of NEW JERSEY is well represented in the DAR Patriot Index, with service verified. Many descendants of John, through son Reuben and daughter Sarah, have joined NSDAR. This John Stark was born 1 April 1733 and died 8 May 1825 in New Jersey.

This non-existent Lt. General John R. Starkey has been given the birth year of John Stark of New Jersey, but the death year of John Stark of New Hampshire.

ThruLines has gathered this information from its online trees. Tree owners have MERGED these two men into one man WHO NEVER EXISTED.

I can state with 1000% confidence that Catherine is NOT the daughter of Lt. General John R. Starkey.

What about the STARK connection?

Well, I’m not so sure about that connection, either, at least not to Catherine (MNU) Carlisle.

I clearly share a small amount of DNA with two descendants of John Stark of New Jersey, but there are a couple of curve balls here.

First, I have other ancestral lines that trace back to the area of New Jersey in which the Stark family lived – ancestral lines with quite a few people named Unknown and women (MNU). My DNA Stark connection could just as easily be through one of those other families, and I actually think that is a much more likely scenario.

Second, I have built out family trees for Reuben and Sarah Stark and cannot find a single common location or person in either tree that matches a location or person in my Carlisle family tree. Nor can I find any pre-Revolutionary War people or places in common.

Third, John Stark had a daughter, Catherine, about the same age as my Catherine (MNU) Carlisle, who married one ROBERT CARLISLE. This couple REMAINED in New Jersey and are clearly NOT my Robert and Catherine. Question – Did ThruLines find Catherine Stark and Robert Carlisle and use that discovery to link my tree to the bogus Lt. General John Starkey tree?

Fourth – and this is very concerning – Descendants of both Reuben and Sarah have online family trees, but when I clicked on EVALUATE the connections, this is what appears:

There are ZERO trees linked to DNA matches for both Reuben and Sarah Stark. How can that be when their descendants have online trees and I show up as a DNA match to them????

Notice that the evaluation boxes say Reuben and Sarah MAY BE the daughter of Lt. Gen. John R. Starkey.

MAY BE is the “buyer beware” warning in ThruLines. Unfortunately, the same people who blindly copy and paste have also accepted a bogus person (who never lived), possibly because of ThruLines matches.

I currently believe that Catherine (MNU) Carlisle has no familial ties whatsoever to this Stark family of New Jersey and that my DNA matches are likely through an as-yet-undiscovered line in my family tree.

Moral of the story: I repeat my opening mantra: Ancestry’s ThruLines can be an excellent tool to provide clues about our ancestors. However, it is far from infallible and should be viewed much like any online family tree –  AS A CLUE.

James Hicks3 (Mary2, Robert1) was born c1836, Kent, New Brunswick, Canada; died between 1881-1891, probably Moncton, Westmorland, New Brunswick, Canada, but possibly Kent County or even Meddybemps, as one online person states; married Mary Catherine Doyle, 9 December 1860, Buctouche, Kent, New Brunswick, Canada. Catherine was born c1842, Nova Scotia, Canada; died 21 May 1912, Foxboro, Norfolk, Massachusetts. The family still lived in Moncton in 1891. NOTE: Online trees show duplicates of children, likely because of varying ages in the census records. I have listed their birth order based on their childhood ages in the census records. This family is detailed in History of Charles Dixon: one of the Early English Settlers of Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada, published 1891 and digitized on archive.org.

Descandants of Loyalists Robert & Catherine Carlisle, Part 9: Great Grandchildren Through Catherine

Leave a comment

In the next to last post in this lengthy series, the descendants of Robert and Catherine (MNU) Carlisle through their daughter, Catherine, who married John Stewart, are spotlighted.

William Stewart3 (Catherine2, Robert1) was born c1818, New Brunswick, Canada; died 15 January 1899, Topsfield, Washington, Maine; married (1) Eunice. Eunice was born c1825, Portland, Cumberland, Maine; died by 1864. (2) Sarah L. (Crabtree) Lothrop, c1864. Sarah married (1) Daniel Lothrop. He was born 20 April 1821, Leeds, Androscoggin, Maine; died 9 February 1861, Topsfield, Washington, Maine. Her daughter Lucy Isabelle Lothrop married Daniel Lindsay and they lived at Carroll, Penobscot, Maine. Sarah went to live with them after William died.

In 1850, William and Eunice had Philemon Hurd, aged 4, living with them. Philemon was born in Lee, Penobscot, Maine per place of birth that the census taker listed that year. In 1860, the family was at Princeton, Washington, Maine with William, Eunice and Charles P. Stewart, aged 14. William and Eunice appear not to have had any children of their own and adopted Charles, who was born Philemon Hurd. Further support for the idea that Charles P. was born Philemon Hurd is found with the naming of his own son, Walter Hurd Stewart, born in October 1878, Maine. When William died, Sarah and daughter Carrie Tupper were named as the sole heirs to the estate.

William was well-to-do, showing a value of real and personal estates of $5500/$1000 in 1870, at which time he was listed as a merchant. His age varied somewhat from census to census, but he appears to have been born around 1818. Belle L., born 1859 and George B., born 1860, lived with and were enumerated as Stewarts in 1880. However, they were Sarah’s children by Daniel Lothrop and correctly enumerated as Lothrops in the 1870 household. In 1910, Sarah lived with her sister, Clara Corter and her husband, Martin, in Danforth, Washington, Maine.

Children: (Stewart)

  1. Charles P., born 1846, Lee, Penobscot, Maine; died after 1930, when he lived in Plainville, Norfolk, Massachusetts; married Augusta G. Getchell, 1874, Maine. Charles was adopted by William and Eunice Stewart and his name was changed from Philemon Hurd.
  2. Carrie M., born 12 March 1865, Princeton, Washington, Maine; married Byron Tupper, 1886, probably Topsfield, Washington, Maine; removed to Bangor, Penobscot, Maine.

Charles Augustus Stewart3 (Catherine2, Robert1) was born 1 July 1822, Charlotte, Washington, Maine; died 30 November 1894, Meddybemps, Washington, Maine of heart trouble; married Elida Ann Hicks, 6 July 1850 (intentions), Charlotte, Washington, Maine. Elida was born 1833, Buctouche, Kent, New Brunswick, Canada; died 20 February 1914, Calais, Washington, Maine. Elida was the daughter of Israel and Abigail Carlisle Hicks and was her husband’s first cousin. This branch of the family changed the surname spelling to “Stuart.” Family lore says that Elida felt the new spelling was more “French.”

Children: (Stewart/Stuart)

  1. Wallace, born May 1851, Meddybemps, Washington, Maine; died 20 April 1882, Meddybemps, Washington, Maine; married Annie M. Seymore, 4 May 1878, Lawrence, Essex, Massachusetts. Annie married (2) James O’Brien, 20 January 1892, Calais, Washington, Maine. Annie was born July 1859, Meddybemps, Washington, Maine; died after 1930, possibly Calais, Washington, Maine, where she lived with son John and his wife.
  2. Permelia M., born December 1852, Meddybemps, Washington, Maine; died 22 June 1854, Meddybemps, Washington, Maine.
  3. Felicia, born September 1854, Meddybemps, Washington, Maine; died 22 Aug 1861, Meddybemps, Washington, Maine.
  4. Harry Weston, born June 1858, Meddybemps, Washington, Maine; died 20 July 1911, Meddybemps, Washington, Maine; married Nancy Gilman Aldrich, 6 August 1879, Pembroke, Washington, Maine. She was born September 1860, Maine; died 1921, probably Providence, Providence, Rhode Island, as she lived with daughter Bertha’s family there in 1920.
  5. Melissa A./E., born August 1859, Meddybemps, Washington, Maine; died 11 May 1921, St. Stephen, Charlotte, New Brunswick, Canada; married Frederick Austin Findley, 22 Nov 1882, marriage is recorded in both Melrose, Middlesex, Massachusetts and Maynard, Middlesex, Massachusetts. He was born 27 July 1861, Andover, Essex, Massachusetts; died 1913; buried at Spring Grove Cemetery, Andover, Essex, Massachusetts with his parents. They had no children. In 1880, Melissa was living in Lawrence, Essex, Massachusetts, working in a cotton mill. A number of other Carlisle relatives all lived in Lawrence. In 1900, she was head of household living in Boston, Suffolk, MA with a dozen boarders. She is enumerated as widowed. However, Fred is found in Louisville, Jefferson, KY with wife Catharina Schindler (Katie). She was born 1849, Germany. They had been married for 10 years. It appears that Fred and Melissa divorced between 1882 and 1890. Melissa was head of household in 1910 in Brookline, Norfolk, MA with two boarders in 1910. She was enumerated as a widow with no children. In 1920, she lived with cousin Carrie Maude Lovell and her family in Watertown, Middlesex, MA.
  6. Carey M., born November 1866, Meddybemps, Washington, Maine; died 18 February 1869, Meddybemps, Washington, Maine.
  7. William Charles, born 12 March 1868, Meddybemps, Washington, Maine; died 21 December 1947, Arlington, Suffolk, Massachusetts; married Josephine May Sadler, 25 September 1896, Meddybemps, Washington, Maine. Josie was born May 1877, Cooper, Washington, Maine; died after 1940.
  8. Annie Maude, born 24 June 1874, Meddybemps, Washington, ME; died 10 September 1940, Ridgewood, Bergen, New Jersey; married Charles Edwin Adams, 21 September 1898, Worcester, Worcester, Massachusetts.

Nancy (Ann) Stewart3 (Catherine2, Robert1) was born 19 July 1827, Charlotte, Washington, Maine; married Thomas Jenkins, c1848, probably Washington County, Maine; died 7 April 1909, Easton, Aroostook, Maine. Thomas was born 1825, Wales; died after 1870.  The Charlotte town records seem to show a birth date of 19 July 1829, but this may be an error in either transcription or reading as Mary and Nancy lived together as widows in later life. Nancy’s birth date in 1900 is given as July 1827, while Mary gives hers as July 1829. Nancy reported that she had given birth to nine children, seven living. This family often reported ages of children and names (first/middle?) that didn’t match from census to census. There are three too many children in this family, based on family groupings from 1850-1880. In 1860, Nancy was enumerated in Bridgewater with six children; Thomas appears to have been enumerated alone in Monticello, four farms from John and Catherine Stewart, Nancy’s parents.

Joel was born 30 Sept 1823, Phillips, Franklin, Maine; died 7 May 1888, Linneus, Aroostook, Maine. He married (1) Mary Ann Corliss, c1850. She was born in Smyrna, Aroostook, Maine; died c1859, Linneus, Aroostook, Maine. She was the mother of the first four Howard children, Willard, born 25 Apr 1851, Herbert Orville, born 14 Apr 1853, Laura Edna, born 4 Mar 1855 and Lydia Adeline, born 8 Mar 1858; died young. This family lived in Linneus, Aroostook, Maine in 1860 and 1870, but removed to Oakfield by 1880. Mary Stewart Howard reported in 1900 that she was the mother of six children, three living at the time. In 1900, Mary was living with her also widowed sister, Nancy Jenkins, and two nephews in Easton, Aroostook, ME.

Children: (Howard)

  1. Walter, born 1861, Linneus, Aroostook County, Maine; died after 1880 and is buried at South Road Cemetery, Oakfield, Aroostook, Maine. Date of birth is on the stone, but no death date.
  2. Martha Ann, born 27 February 1862, Aroostook County, Maine; died 23 December 1934, Aroostook County, Maine; married Joseph Warren Huntley, 1881, probably Aroostook County, Maine. Joseph was born November 1860, Maine; died 1910-1920, probably Aroostook County, Maine.

Children: (Sprague)

 1. Araminta, born 1850/82, Charlotte, Washington, Maine; died 2 August 1907; married George H. Stewart, c1886. He was born c1852, New Hampshire. They had no children.
2. Augusta Eurana, born 15 March 1853, Charlotte, Washington, Maine; died 8 March 1889, Gorham, Cumberland, Maine; married (1) George H. Wentworth, 13 March 1874, Biddeford, York, Maine. They apparently went their separate ways. (2) Enoch Mabry, 1 January 1889, Haverhill, Essex, Massachusetts. He was born 10 January 1852, Maine; died 16 March 1923, Maine. It appears Augusta had no children.
