My sister and I are grt-grt-grand-daughters. Our grt-grandmother (Anne Louise) told us a story of her father being a cabin boy in the US Navy aboard the USS Constitution when there was an explosion on the ship in the 1860s. He was blown overboard. Nana had the uniform he was wearing for many years before donating it to a Boston museum in 1974.

Hopefully I did not make any mistakes transcribing this information. I mostly fear turning b into a d or vis versa. Very small print from this old photo copy.

I read Tammy (Barnes) Byrd's comment a few days ago. It just so happens I have been researching family background for one of my nephews recently and Tammy's information rang a few bells.

Based on my family's records John Thomas Jefferson is a great grand uncle of mine, via his younger brother Charles James Jefferson. His date of birth was 1854. Our records suggest he was born in Baltimore Md in 9/1/1854 and d. 11/30/1935. He joined the US Navy at age 12 as a cabin boy. 22 years on the US Constitution.

Background on this line of the Jefferson family.

? (UNK FN) Jefferson m. UNK (Their son Thomas Jefferson Jr., notes may have more siblings/children but not much further info..)

Thomas Jefferson Jr. m. Deborah Gossage 10/5/1819 Talbot Co. MD Children (one spouse included):

UNK Female; Elizabeth; Mary; Thomas Henry (b. ca 1822-1826 Baltimore MD) m. Mary Elizabeth (Lee) (Daughter of John and Annie (Powell) Lee

Children (two spouses included): John m. Amanda Matilda (Britton); Will; George; Mary; Julia; Charles James (6/13/1875) m. Minnie Wilfred (Lewis) (Minnie's grandfather, and his two brothers, were adopted by the Lewis. Their surname was Stottler if memory serves.)*

John /Amanda Children:

Grace Amanda b. 1875 d. 3/5/1877; Charles Thomas b. 1/14/1877 d. 10/21/1885; Marry Carrie b. 6/10/1878 d. 1/23/1879; Frances Helen b. 1/23/1881; Bertha May b/ 1/24/1884; John Joseph b. 9/16/1885; William Alfred b. 1/16/1888; Clara Ruth b. 1/19/1890 d. 6/16/1890; Frank Brown b. 11/1/1891 d. 5/22/1913; Evelyn Virginia b. 12/28/1892; Annie Louise b. 5/29/1895; Virgie Catherine b. 11/7/1897

There is more. Just reply and I will see about getting more info. out there if you are interested. Anything you have about earlier ancestors would be helpful. Getting beyond Thomas Jefferson Jr. has been troublesome. I also have more dates for some of the children etc. Limited access to notes at the moment.

(Edits for clarity due to formatting conflicts.)

  • Edited to correct information. on Lewis (Stottler) adoption.

Hi Edward,

Tammy hasn't been active at WikiTree since 2014 but she is probably still receiveing emails about comments posted to profiles she manages. Hopefully you will hear from her.

Thanks for the reply Debi.

I figured as much but I am hopeful she will get this information. I seem to be slowly working out specifics on further Jefferson ancestors related to John and Thomas Jefferson (and their siblings) going back several generations at the moment. This is information she might be interested in.

Thanks again.
