Ryder against The Republic of Mexico Before The Joint Commission of The United States of America and The Republic of Mexico in Washington, DC. CLAIM No. 101 Edmund Wetmore, Attorney for claimant 24 Pine St, New York New York: Wm.L. Stone,Jordan & Whittmore,Law,book,and Job pronters, No.142 Fulton St. 1870 Claims vs. Mexico, 1868: --- Patrick F. Ryder, born in Dublin Ireland 1800.(no date of birth). A naturalized citizen of the USA in the St.Louis Circuit Court, State of Missouri, 26th of March 1833. Occ: Merchant of dry-goods - in Dec of 1883 I took a guess that the above Patrick F. Ryder may be the fater of Paul J. Ryder, however, Patrick may be a Grandfather to Paul J. Ryder, also I'm thinking Ann C. Ryder may have been a Daughter-in-law to Patrick F. ?, because I don't know who is Paul J. and Mary Ryder's fater was. Its not clear how/why Paul J. Ryder came to New Orleans La, however the information provided, [The Lepere family owned a grocery business in St. Louis city and was VERY well off--to the tune of having an assessed valuation in 1870 of $20,000 plus $2,000 in personal property!] and just thinking again, Ann C. Patrick F. may somehow known each other, being both Merchants in St.Louis ?. The big problem for me has been to find Paul J., my Great- Grandfather, after Sept 1887 ???. I feel if I can connect Paul J. in St.Louis with Patrick F. say, I just may find some information about what happen to him and how my Grandfather and his little brother left New Orleans and maybe why. I want to thank all for the help given, I also hope that the information I'm giving helps others in their search. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Silverwood's death cert. didn't know her father's name, but knew he was from Dublin. Irish immigrant's tended to be fierce about which part of Ireland they came from due to all the political and religious fighting. We tend to lump all Irish together, but they truely distinquish themselves as if they were two separate countries. My Irish ancestors were the same way..some were from Northern Ireland and some from The Free Irish Republic. And as a descendant, I could tell you which part of Ireland my great great grandfather came from, but I had to do research to find out what his first name was....family always referred to as gread grandfather Kelly. Hope this helps clarify a little.. Christine Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

The Lepere family owned a grocery business in St. Louis city and was VERY well off--to the tune of having an assessed valuation in 1870 of $20,000 plus $2,000 in personal property! It was also a VERY large family with at least 8 children, some of whom went to work in the family business as bookkeepers when they got older. The eldest daughter, also named Catherine, married on 17 Oct.1878 to William L. Dicks, and she AND her husband AND a baby were all living with their parents in the 1880 census. I suspect that Catherine Lepere probably sent her daughter to her brother to help keep house, since he was a bachelor with an elderly mother and a farm to run. And you need to e-mail me soonest. I have MORE info which I will not post here. Madehlinne Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
