Her father, James Holden, is a mystery before 1850, but her mother, Gloriana, is a VanWinkle and that line is documented quite a long way back into the 1500's. In the online tree, I've included quite a bit of info about Elizabeth's siblings and their descendants, too. Gloriana was married at least once prior to James Holden. She had a daughter Rachel Romaine b.1844 from her 1843 marriage to a Charles Romaine. I don't know what happened to Charles, but by 1850 Gloriana is married to James Holden. There is also another child on the 1850 census, a 4 yr old called Silas Smith. In later censuses and other records, he is called Silas Holden. I don't know if he was Gloriana's biological child or if he was adopted. Check out my Simmons, etc. tree and let me know if you have other questions or additions. There are published genealogies on the VanWinkle line which you can purchase. The one I have has Gloriana b.1824 and her sisters, but does not include any information about their descendants.

She also provided Phebe's maiden name of Phebe QUACKENBUSH. Pat WARDELL also wrote, "In 1869 he [Henry] was a grocer at 549 Hudson St., with a residence at 106 Perry St., New York City." I have also found Henry's granddaughter "Louis" MOORE, listed as "Louisa" MOORE, b. ca. 1862, NY, along with her mother Emily MOORE, b. ca. 1839, NY, and siblings Edwin, b. ca. 1860, NY; Grace, b. ca. 1864, NY; and Estell, b. ca. 1867, NY, on the 1870 census for Ramapo, Rockland Co., NY, pg. 18, dwelling 151, family 151.

John is believed to be somehow descended from the immigrant Coenraad "Conrad" GERLACH/GERLAG/CARLOCK (1660 - ca. 1712) of Hackensack, Bergen Co., NJ.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: SETilleman Surnames: CARLOUGH, FREDERICK, OSBORN, STRAUT Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.rockland/923.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: This is in reply to lcdawson36's Apr. 24, 2000, posting to the RootsWeb Rockland Co., NY, Message Board titled, "Carlough connection." I believe your husband's great-grandfather Edgar or Edward CARLOUGH to be the son of Henry CARLOUGH (1812 - 1896) and his wife Phoebe (1814 - 1897) of New York City, and grandson of John N. CARLOUGH (1786 - 1852) and his wife Catherine FREDERICK (1788 - 1865) or Ramapo, Rockland Co., NY. Henry and Phoebe are buried in the Maple Grove Cemetery in Rockland Co., NY. Re: http://www.interment.net/data/us/ny/rockland/maplegrove/maplegrove.htm Note that niece "Linda" OSBORN, age 18, was living in Henry and Phoebe's household at the time of the 1880 census. I believe this individual to be Mary Malinda OSBORN, daughter of Jacob OSBORN (b. 1827) and Catherine CARLOUGH (ca. 1819 - Dec. 4, 1870) of Ramapo, Rockland Co., NY. I have also located Malinda and her family on the 1860 and 1870 censuses for Ramapo, Rockland Co., NY. Her grandmother Catherine was also listed with her family on the 1860 census. Her grandparents' family, including her mother, can also be found on the 1850 census for Ramapo, Rockland Co., NY. Also note that the family of James J. CARLOUGH and his wife Rachel STRAUT was living next to the family of John N. CARLOUGH at the time of the 1850 census, indicating that James was very likely also a son of John N. CARLOUGH and Catherine FREDERICK. James and Rachel are buried in the Airmount Cemetery, Suffern, Rockland Co., NY. Re: Find A Grave (http://www.findagrave.com), memorials for James J. CARLOUGH and Rachel STRAUT CARLOUGH. The "Edward" CARLOUGH listed as a "carman" on the following census was probably your husband's great-grandfather: 1870 United States Federal Census, 9th Wad, 16 E D, New York City, New York Co., NY, pg. 34, enumerated June 28, 1870, dwelling 112, family 274. However, "Edgar" CARLOUGH, fitting the same description, appears on the following census with his parents. 1850 United States Federal Census, Ward 9, New York City, New York Co., NY, pg. 202 (or 403 ?), enumerated July 27, 1850, dwelling 229, family 461. 1860 United States Federal Census, Ward 9, New York City, New York Co., NY, pg. 549, enumerated July 1, 1880, dwelling 620, family 1489, with surname listed as "Carlow". I have not yet been able to locate Henry and Phoebe's family on the 1870 census. John N. CARLOUGH appears with his family on the following census: 1850 United States Federal Census, Ramapo, Rockland Co., NY, sheet 369, enumerated Sept. 28, 1850, dwelling 314, family 317. As mentioned above, John's widow Catherine appears on the following census with their daughter Catherine's family: 1860 United States Federal Census, Ramapo, Rockland Co., NY, pg. 248, enumerated Aug. 11, 1860, dwelling 1798, family 1798. Further information about John and Catherine comes from the following source: SMITH, Robert (hawkridge@worldnet.att.net), Internet, e-mail, Feb. 21, 2007; info. fm. record #3651 at the New Jersey Gen. Soc. Collection at Alexander Library at Rutgers University. Any additional information that you may wish to provide with regard to your branch of the CARLOUGH family would be greatly appreciated.

ANNOUNCING NEW DATABASE BOOK 3 - INTERMENT INDEX ST. MARY'S CEMETERY, TROY NEW YORK INTERMENT YEARS - January 1919 - April 1935 A. Book 3, part of a multi-volume set of Interment Records at St. Mary's Cemetery, Troy, NY, which includes 5,142 names, has now been added to the Troy Irish Genealogy website. You can view these interment records by going to the Troy Irish Genealogy website at: www.rootsweb.com/~nytigs/ and click on TIGS PROJECTS and then click on ST. MARY'S CEMETERY, TROY, NY - INTERMENT RECORDS. B. This new data series of interment records list an individuals name, date of death and age at death. In a large number of records, the age is reported in years, months and days. Some entries without a date of death, are re-interments to or from another cemetery. It should be noted that these records, like most of the TIGS data series, cover the general population in the area and are NOT restricted to Irish surnames. C. Researchers having relatives with a CAPITAL DISTRICT area connection, will be interested in these on-line, name searchable, records of names of individuals who were interred in St. Mary's Cemetery in Troy, NY. If you live in a nearby county or even further away, you might want to check out these names. Take a look at the data base, you never know what you will find. D. The TIGS website has a PRINTABLE FORM that can be used to request more information from the Albany Diocesan Cemeteries. Mailing instructions and fees (only $5.00) are on the request form. Additional items that may be available from the full interment record may include: 1. LATE RESIDENCE: Most of the records in Book 3 show only the name of the city as the late residence. Only 115 records will show a house number and a street address. 2. INTERMENT DATE: The date of interment in St. Mary's Cemetery may be another clue which will be helpful to genealogy and family researchers. 3. SECTION/LOT#: The section and lot number may be another clue which will be helpful to genealogy and family researchers. 4. UNDERTAKER: The name of the undertaker may be another clue which will be helpful to genealogy and family researchers. E. The following information on the 5,142 deaths will be of interest: 1. No age was reported for 335 names and 10 cases were reported as "baby" as the age while 5 cases were identified as "infant" as the age. There were also 108 records identified as "Still Born". 2. A breakdown of the other deaths by age groups shows: Under 1 year - 326 names. Age 1 to 10 - 281 names. Age 11 to 19 - 104 names. Age 20 to 29 - 225 names. Age 30 to 39 - 353 names. Age 40 to 49 - 533 names. Age 50 to 59 - 827 names. Age 60 to 69 - 1031 names. Age 70 to 79 - 700 names. Age 80 to 89 - 225 names. Age 90 to 99 - 47 names. F. While 50 of the 5,142 interment records showed no indication of residence, those records where the residence was reported are of interest to researchers outside of the Troy Area as they identify residences in numerous cities and towns throughout New York State as well as 14 other states and even 6 foreign countries. While most of the records were for the Capital District Area, other areas throughout New York State were reported. Some specifics on residence information follow: 1. The following NYS locations had three or more records: Albany-123, Albia-3, Averill Park-4, Brunswick-41, Buffalo-5, Cohoes-63, Colonie-21, Corinth-6, Glens Falls-6, Grafton-9, Green Island-146, Groveland-7, Hoosick Falls-9, Hudson-3, Marcy-4, Mechanicville-7, Moreau-4, North Greenbush-107, Niskayuna-5, Pittstown-6, Poestenkill-6, Poughkeepsie-96, Rensselaer-5, Rochester-7, Saranac Lake-6, Sand Lake-10, Saratoga Springs-14, Schaghticoke-6, Schenectady-37, Stephentown-3, Syracuse-7, Troy-3,670, Utica-13, Voorheesville-4, Waterford-12, and Watervliet-183. 2. The following NYS locations had 2 records: Berlin, Canajoharie, Chatham, Fort Edward, Geneva, Grand Island, Halfmoon, Hoosick, Hudson Falls, Lake George, Latham, Malone, Menands, Mt. Vernon, Onondaga, Rotterdam, Salem, West Sand Lake and White Plains. 3. The following NYS locations had 1 record: Binghamton, Bennington, Center Brunswick, Chestertown, Cooperstown, Dannamora, Eagle Mills, East Bloomfield, East Greenbush, Esperance, Gansvoort, Glenville, Hampton, Hawthorne, Herkimer, Ilion, Johnson City, Kings Point, Kingston, Lake Placid, Liberty, Lockport, Mt. Pleasant, Nyack, Oneida, Ossining, Otisville, Oxford, Plattsburgh, Port Henry, Pittsfield, Queensbury, Ravena, Raybrook, Rome, Schodack, Stephentown, Stillwater, Thompson, Ticonderoga, White Creek, Wynantskill, Wappinger and Yonkers. 4. For the New York City area, there were 13 records for Brooklyn, 3 for the Bronx, 106 records for New York City 6 records for Long Island. Thirty-eight records indicated "New York" so it is unclear if this meant New York State or New York City. 5. There were a number of records from the neighboring states of Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut and New Jersey. Connecticut has 7 records, Massachusetts had 16 records, Vermont had 9 and New Jersey had 22 records. 6. Residence was also indicated from the following states: California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia and the District of Columbia. 7. Foreign countries listed as the place of residence were Belgium, Canada, England, France, Haiti and Uruguay. (Note: The Belgium and French records are servicemen killed in World War II.) Hopefully you will find some of your ancestors listed in Book 3 of the Interment Index or in the various other data series on the Troy Irish Genealogy website.
