This is how I recorded the Custer tree for ancestors of Emanuel III (wife Rebecca Friend). It is not my direct line so corrections would be most welcome. Yes, I own a copy of "The Custer and Related Families........by Franklin D.

From: [email protected] Do you have a copy of "The Custer and Related Families of Allegany and Garrett Counties, Maryland" by Franklin D. Bishop? It has 206 pages including index and 16 pages of pictures. First allow me to say how impressed I am with the Garret Co. folks and how much interest they show and share about their ancestors. The message on George A.Custer being a second cousin of Emanuel Custer III reminded me that some time ago I did some research attempting to figure out the Custer-Durst relationship of Garrett Co. For anyone interested this is what I found on Emanuel Custer, father of George A. Custer. In 1850 he was living in Harrison Co., Ohio, age 43 yrs., born in Md., wife was Mariah, age 42, in their home was George A., 10 yrs.; Nevin, 7; Thomas, 5, and Boston, who was 1 yr.old, all the children were born in Ohio. Also in this home was David Kirkpatrick, age 26 and John Kirkpatrick, age 17 yrs. both born in Ohio. ( they were the sons of Mariah who was married first to Israel Kirkpatrick). On June 13, 1870, Monroe Co., Mich. First Ward, #354, is Emanuel Custer, age 63, born in Md. blacksmith, Mariah, 62 born in Pa. Boston is 21 yrs.old and Margaret is 17 years old, both born in Ohio. In this same home was George A. Custer, age 28 yrs.old, Capt. in U.S. Army, under his name is Elizabeth, 26 yrs.old born in Mich. and Ensura, age 11 yrs.old. ( if she is the daughter of George A. Custer he would have fathered her at the age of 17 yrs.) Then on June 1, 1880 ( after the Battle of the Little Big Horn of 1876) Emanuel Custer is listed as retired, age 73, Maria, 73 yrs., and in their home is Maggie Calhoun, age 28 yrs.old. Maggie was their daughter Margaret who was married to Lt. James Calhoun, he too lost his life her brother, George A. Custer died. Who was the father of the Emanuel Custer married to Rebecca Friend? Also in the Family Data on Ancestry.Com I found the following: George A. Custer was married on Feb. 9, 1864 to Elizabeth Bacon ( no doubt the Elizabeth, age 26, on the 1870 census) and he married secondly to a Monaseetah on 27 Nov. 1868. Who was Monaseetha and where was she in 1870, she was not on the census? I find reference to many of the Durst-Custer families as being cousins to Gen. George A. Custer but still have not figured it all out. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
