3/13/99 Grace H. Ingersoll, M.Div. grace @eskimo.com Hi -- In my Ingersoll line, my paternal grandmother was the daughter of Alice Dunsmore, who was the child of Joseph Pollack Dunsmore and Margaret Antoinette Ward. I'm sorry, I have no dates, or locations, but I do know that this is USA! Allowing roughly 25 years per generation, my grandmother was born in 1886, her mother in maybe 1860 or so, so her parents: roughly 1835 or so? Granny's favorite uncle was the American painter, John Ward Dunsmore. I remember my grandmother (who was a published amateur genealogist in her own right) telling me years ago that she (an insufferable snob!) had, as a girl, teased her grandmother that with a name like Antoinette Ward, she was probably Irish. Which Great-grandmother huffily denied each time. However, Granny said that years later, she hunted down and found an obituary in the New York Times (I don't have it) for a John Ward who was Margaret Antoinette's father, and was, in fact, from County Cork. I'm interested in pursuing the Dunsmore line back from Joseph Pollack Dunsmore, and would love to have more info, if anyone has it. Also, does anyone have the John Ward info? Thanks for any help you can give. Grace H. Ingersoll
