Garvin of Bucyrus, Ohio completed her life journey on May 4, 2013 surrounded by her family. She was born on November 11, 1923 in Crawford County, Ohio to the late Earl L and Hazel E (Kirgis) Knieriemen. Carol graduated from Lykens High School and on September 27, 1941 married her grade school sweetheart, Russell R. Garvin, who preceded her in death August 17, 2009. They were married for 67 years. Russ served in the U.S. Army in World War II. While Russ was stationed at various bases in the U.S., Carol followed him to many of them including Spokane, Washington where she worked at the Air Depot repairing fighter planes while Russ was deployed to China, Burma and India. Carol also worked at GE and Timken before she and Russ worked side-by-side together in their Garvin's Car Care Center service station business for 57 years until it was sold in 2005. Carolparticipated in many organizations in the community. She was a hostess for the Welcome Wagon, member of the American Legion where she shared many lunches with the "Golden Girls" over the years, and she was a charter member of the Sweet Adelines of Bucyrus. Carol enjoyed baking, gardening, tending to her flowers and birds, and making crafts. Most of all, Carol enjoyed time spent with special friends and family. She hosted many celebrations and holidays over the years. Carol is survived by her three children, Linda S. Whitt of Bucyrus, Alan R. Garvin and Melinda of Galion, Ohio and Lisa L. Garvin of Mansfield; special nephew and "adopted son," John and Eve Knieriemen of Richmond, Michigan; seven grandchildren, Bri Garvin, Jessica (Keithen) Branch, Mallory Garvin, Daniel Garvin, Jared (Keirra) Foos, Timothy Whitt and Carolyn Clay; and six great grandchildren, Kinsley, Zaven, Reese, Mia, Jonathon and Dawson.

I am in the middle of writing a book about "my Suffern family," in which I will include all the charts I inherited. What is of interest to me, is I only learned today of the fire in 1922, that destroyed so much. I had thought the fire was much earlier. My GG-grandfather Edward Suffern was the first graduate in the world, per Ripley's Believe It or Not. I have two journals he wrote between 1846 and 1860. I have transcribed one and am hard at work on the second - the MANY pages of it! Because of this, I can't take too many detours right now to delve into family branches. I do have a lovely, very long letter written to a Suffern relative in NY by David Suffern who went to Argentina in 1844. He explains a lot in his letter, including that Catherine, daughter of his brother William John, married Peter Devine and went to Australia. William's daughter Margaret married Peter McCoy and went to Australia as well, during the gold fever - was successful. I also have some information about an early James in Ireland: "James Suffrin (or Suffren), Born 1670, Died 84 yrs old - 1754, Ballymeade Pres. Church" This record says 'Births and deaths were recorded in old parish registry now burnt - tombstone still standing." (In Carmavey Cemetery) The problem is there are so MANY James and Johns and Williams, etc., Sufferns it is very hard to trace lines, especially without having records. The entire purpose of my book is to get as much as I can into the public domain, and I will be donating all the profits. I grew up with a handsome set of antique lithographs of the Admiral, and other things. What just amazes me is that Jules/Jean Andre' knew to seek refuge in New York with his distant family there. Canning did say we are descended from Trophime. I have seen one reference to Trophime in French genealogical info, but it is to be expected the French de Suffrens probably did all they could to abolish all record of him - traitorous Huguenot black sheep that he was! I will be back in touch. It was good to hear from you. Carolyn Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Lovely to be able to talk to you. Firstly, to get the relationships out of the way; John Suffren in Norway is my second cousin once removed, (I think) being the son of my late father's first cousin. I am in touch with his elder sister who is in Australia, as am I. I am familiar with John's website and also have the documentation his father, uncle and he prepared some years ago after Frank Suffren (his uncle) travelled to Saint Tropez in the hope of finding the family links to The Admiral, whose portrait, for many years, took pride of place on the diningroom wall in the old family home in Ballarat, Victoria. Turned out to be a paper copy from a magazine. It had everyone fooled for a generation or two!! Nevertheless, my late grandmother, a Suffren, apparently knew the connection to the Huguenot Suffrens who fled France. Regrettably, my father either did not listen intently to her stories or she did not know the details because there was never any mention of them going to Ireland before making their way to New Brunswick, prior to their departure to Australia. The research was inconclusive, with our connection to the Irish Suffren's as vague as it still appears today. While undertaking research on my maternal ancestors I engaged a pro researcher in Scotland who became interested in my father's ancestry and undertook some research in his own time. It was only then that the two Suffren brothers in Ireland emerged. He did not indicate any date as to when they may have arrived in Ireland or if they were, in fact, born there. As a result, have not established with which wave of Huguenots they arrived in Ireland, if any.... All of this became quite interesting from my point of view when he suggested that the Fentons (greats&2xgreats), who certainly lived in Ireland, after meeting Suffrens in Ireland, got together in New Brunswick and later married each other. I suspect he had already undertaken quite detailed research but he retired in "Sunny Spain" and that was the last I heard from him. It is also curious in that I have located a Fenton child being born in New York prior to arriving in New Brunswick but am yet to locate a shipping list for absolute confirmation. It may suggest that some of the Suffrens went to New Brunswick via New York also. What initially drew my atttention to your Suffern-Suffren history was the fact that you also have two French Huguenot brothers in your ancestry, along with Jean Andre actually being "de Suffren". Trophime appears to be the link, from what I have here but more recent research suggests that "The Admiral" and his family were pious catholics and would have shuddered at the thought of any Huguenot links. Notwithstanding this detail, I am not overlooking the possibility of a breakaway branch with protestantism sympathies. Interestingly, I did check out some of the Huguenot websites and none had Suffren or Suffern recorded as Huguenot surnames. Perhaps it is all too long ago and we will never find the links but it will remain a topic of interest on this side for some time yet!! Noel did contact me via this message board. I did glean from his message that you were Carolyn Suffern, not Catherine. We exchanged an email or two but had no more contact when I pointed out that John Suffren and I were the same distant relationship to him and our trees would be identical. There are many more of the same generation here, with new interest being shown by the next generation. Many thanks for your message. The alert was sent to my email address. Any comments gratefully invited!! Cheers, Wendy. This message is reading in the preview without para breaks, and will not edit with them inserted so I hope you can follow it.

(John Suffern, founder of the village now called Suffern, NY, is my 4th great-grandfather. He emigrated to America from Killealy/Killead, County Antrim in 1763.) My information about Jules/Jean Andre' (Jules was an alias) is based on family documents written in 1919, that came with two paintings given to my father in 1946. The woman who gave the paintings to my father was the widow of the son of Andrew Suffern, grandson of John Suffern, patriarch in New Antrim/Suffern, NY. Andrew commissioned these paintings done in 1854 and 1860 from Jules/Jean Andre' - we have the original bill/letter from Jules to Andrew for one of the paintings. I also have a genealogical chart created by Canning Suffern in 1920, for my great uncle Robert Adams Suffern. Canning also sent a letter I have shared with John Suffren of Norway who maintains a Suffren family website. I agree with Noel that the direct link between France and Ireland is not documented, although Canning Suffern felt that it was Trophime Suffern, the Huguenot brother of the ancestor of Admiral de Suffren, who is our ancestor. What gives credence to much of this in my mind, is the fact that according to the 1919 family document, "Jules Arnault" sought refuge in America with the grandson of John Suffern as the last vestiges of the Bourbon Dynasty were falling in France. Jules does show up under the 1850 US federal census as living in the home of James Suffern, as our documentation states. The document said it was only upon his death on May 1, 1877, that the hair-covered trunks he had brought with him were opened, and it was revealed he was in fact, Jean Andre' de Suffren, marquis.... Pierre Andre' is the third son in his family. His eldest brother was the marquis de Suffren de Saint Tropez. It also is known that families of nobility basically scattered and hid, during the times of the French Revolution. Also, the use of titles such as "marquis" were abolished during the FR also. I may not have answered all your questions, but what I write is based on records and reports written by men who were born in the !850's - 1870's, concerning Jules and our French connection. Also, the family crest of the Sufferns in Antrim is essentially the same as the French crest, with the addition of the words "Of Antrim." The French Navy uses it for its Suffren ships to this day.

Hi everyone, I am researching Margaret Gavin/Garvin who was born in Roscommon circa 1863 and came to Australia on board the Samuel Plimsoll in June 1883, she married John Bede Bugden and they lived in NSW. If anyone can give me any advice on Margaret I would love to hear from you, I have been unable to find very much on her at all. Best regards Maureen
