Surnames: Curry, McDonald Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TS.2ADE/1881.1 Message Board Post: I pulled the obit for this man in Mobile and I copied the Higgins Mortuary record as well. He died Nov 30, 1936. Are you sure this is your Will Curry? There is a William Curry with a birth year of 1857 in the 1860 and 1870 Mobile census living with an Edward and Catherine Curry, it looks like he was one of their children. Edward is still living in the 1870, so that would mean he was not his father or we have the wrong William. This William I looked up was listed as living at the Hannon Home, a home for the aged, he was widowed, his widow's name was Maggie McDonald, and it states that he had lived in Mobile all of his life. It lists his full name as William H. Greer (Greyer in one obit) Curry. If you think this is your Will, let me know and I will send you copies of his obit and Mortuary record. His parents are listed as "unknown" on the mortuary record. Marla

Surnames: TROTT Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TS.2ADE/1878 Message Board Post: In my previous post, I made an error on the birth year of Capt. Richard Trott. He was born in Dec 1827 (not 1857) and was christened on 18 Jan 1828 Saint Nicholas, Deptford, Kent, England. Capt. Richard Trott was the son of Richard Trott and Mary Batcher who married 18 Jan 1827 St. Mary, Lewisham, Kent. Capt. Richard Trott married Martha Manson (d/o John Jasper Manson and Elizabeth Emms) on 23 Jun 1857 Saint Dunstan, Stepney, London. Capt. Richard Trott had two known siblings: William Henry Trott b. 3 Mar 1831 Rotherhithe, London Mary Trott b. c1829 Capt. Richard Trott and wife, Martha Manson, had four children: Martha Mary Anne Trott b. 12 Apr 1858 in Rotherhithe Richard William Lee Trott b. 24 Sep 1859 in Rotherhithe Dominick/Dominique Jasper Trott b. 6 Dec 1861 in Alabama Philip F.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: TROTT, McCOWAN, SMITH, RHODES, POWELL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TS.2ADE/1877 Message Board Post: I am searching for descendants of Capt. Richard TROTT b. Dec 1827 England d. 25 Jul 1902 in Mobile AL. Naturalization records in Mobile state he became a U.S. citizen on 26 Oct 1868 at the age of 41 and length of residence was 10 years. This would indicate he arrived in the U.S. about 1858. Capt. Trott was a sea captain for many years. I do not know his port of entry. His death record states he had lived in Mobile since about 1862, but he does not show up on the Mobile city directory until 1866. The 1870 Mobile Co AL Federal Census lists Capt. Richard Trott, his wife Martha (maiden name unknown), and their four children: Trott, Richard, 42, male white, Sea Captain, b. England [b. 1828] Trott, Martha, 42, female white, Keeping House, b. England [b. 1828] Trott, Martha M., 12, female white, at school, b. England [b. 1858] Trott, Richard W., 10, male white, at school, b. England [b. 1860] Trott, Dominick J., 8, male white, at school, b. Alabama [b. 1862] Trott, Philip F., 3, male white, b. Alabama [b. 1867] Capt. Trott was born Dec 1827 in England and died of TB in Mobile AL on 25 Jul 1902 -- he is buried in Magnolia Cemetery, Mobile AL. His wife, Martha, was born Jun 1828 in England and died of TB on 7 Sep 1901 of TB in Bay Minette AL -- she is buried in Magnolia Cemetery, Mobile, AL. Family history recalls a newspaper article that Capt. Trott was Master of a steamer and made a run from England to the Port of Galveston in record time. That article has been lost with time. Martha M. Trott married Thomas Alexander McCowan on 4 Nov 1880 in Mobile AL. She is listed as “Martha M. Trott” on the 1870 census; as “Martha M.A. Trott” on the 1880 census, and as “Martha A. Trott” on her marriage record. Census records and her obit article state she was born in England. Richard W. Trott is shown only on the 1870 census -- it states he was born in 1860 in England. He is not with the family in 1880 and is not listed in Mobile city directories. On the 1900 census, his mother states she had four children, and three were living in 1900. It is presumed Richard W. Trott died between after 1870 and before 1900. Is he the TROTT family member who died at sea? There is no record of his marriage in Mobile Co AL (his siblings all married in Mobile County). Dominick J. Trott (also known as Dominique “Dom” Jasper Trott) was born 6 Dec 1861 – all census records indicate he was born in Alabama, but family history is that he was born in England. Dominique married Rebecca Jane Rhodes on 3 Feb 1881 in Butler, Choctaw Co AL. He was 19 years old and Rebecca was 27 years old. Rebecca was born on 21 Jul 1854 (where?) and died at age 49 of Bright’s Disease on 20 Dec 1903 in Mobile. She is buried in Magnolia Cemetery, Mobile AL. Rebecca may have been a widow when she married Dominique, and it is unknown if they had any children during the 22 years they were married. After Rebecca’s death, Dominique (age 44) married Susan ‘Susie’ Mary Powell (age 20) on 21 Jun 1905 in Mobile AL. Susie was born in 1885 in Pensacola, Escambia Co FL, and died of TB at the age of 26 on 11 Oct 1915 while visiting her sister in Pensacola. Susie is buried in St. John’s Cemetery in Pensacola FL! . Dominique and Susie had one child: Thomas John Trott, Sr. b. 11 Sep 1904. One census records states the child was born in Florida; however, family members state he was born in Mobile AL. Philip F. Trott was born in 1867 in Alabama and married Elizabeth ‘Lizzie’ Smith on 19 Jan 1891 in Mobile AL. Mobile city directories list Philip F. Trott as a Mariner in 1884, and he apparently lived in Mobile until his death about 1907 – Lizzie is listed as a widow in the 1908 directory. Philip and Lizzie may have had two children: Octavia and Andrew. The men in this TROTT family were sea-faring people. Capt. Richard Trott, born and raised in England (but where?) arrived in the U.S. in the 1850s (which port?) He was a ship’s master of schooners and steamers. In 1867 he was Captain of the steamer “Cecelia”; in 1875 he was Captain of the schooner “Linda”; and in 1877 he was Mate on the steamer “Thomas Swan”. Where was Capt. Richard Trott during the Civil War? He was a British citizen at that time – was he running supplies from England to the Gulf Coast in support of the Confederacy? (He is not listed as living in Mobile during the Civil War period.) A Naval History of Fighting Ships records Union ships captured a British schooner “Linda” attempting to slip into Mosquito Inlet FL on 11 Mar 1864. Could this be the same “Linda” that Capt. Trott was Master of in 1875 – could this have been his ship during the Civil War? His three sons and his known grandson all went to sea at one point in their lives. I would like to hear from anyone who may have information on the descendants of Capt. Richard Trott. Please contact me direct at: mart2542@aol.com
