Person:Letitia Dougherty (2)

[flandrx-seeker.ged]

Peter presumably married Letitia Dougherty sometime after 1810 ( she would have been only 16 in 1810, but that's not an impossibl e age at which to marry). By 1820, the family moves to Mamarone ck and in the 1820 census the two women born before 1755 and th e other male (a brother, perhaps) born between 1765 and 1785 hav e all disappeared from the household. The two daughter from th e first marriage are still there, joined by three new daughter s and two sons.

The 1820 census for Mamaroneck, Westchester County, New York , p 230 [360] lists Peter Flandrow as head of a household consis ting of one white male 26-44, one white female 16-25, two whit e females 10-15, and two white males and three white females und er 10.

By 1830 the daughters from the first marriage are no longer list ed (they would now be in their twenties), one of the sons and on e of the daughters are not listed (they may be in their late tee ns and moved out or they may not have lived to this census), an d five more girls and one more boy have been added, including pr esumably Susan and Sarah. Susan and Sarah are listed in Spies " Inscriptions..." as being born in 1823. Perhaps Letitia was pro ne to twins?

The 1830 census for Mamaroneck, Westchester County, New York , p 231 lists Peter Flandrow as the head of a household consisti ng of one white male between 50-59, one white female 30-39, on e white female 15-20, one white male 10-14, one white female 10 -14, 3 white females 5-10, and two white females under 5.

By the 1840 census the two younger daughters are still listed . There's a boy in his late teens, who might be the 10-14 son f rom the 1830 census if his age was listed inaccurately. The res t of the children have left.

The 1840 census for Mamroneck, Westchester County, New York, p 9 7 lists Peter Flandrow as the head of a household consisting o f one white male 60-69, one white female 40-49, one white male 1 5-19, one white female 15-19, two white females 10-14, and one w hite female 5-9.

All in all this lays out the children as follows: Peter Flandreau & Mary Badeau 1, 2 - daughters born between 1806 and 1809 3 - Benjamin, b 1810 Peter Flandreau & Letitia Dougherty 4, 5 - daughters born between 1810 and 1815 (one likely born bef ore 1813, since she does not appear in the 1830 census, and so i s likely married) 6 - Pamelia D., b 8 July 1817 7 - John N., b. 15 Dec 1819 8, 9 - daughters born between 1821 and 1825 (one likely born bef ore 1823, since she does not appear in the 1840 census, and so i s likely married) 10 - Sarah Jane, b. 2 Nov 1823 11 - Maria, b. ca 1827 12 - Cordelia F., b 1830

Five of these daughters are Mary Frances (Harsen) [likely born b efore 1826], Esther (Mullineaux), Elizabeth (Pine), and Lydia (B eaumer) [likely b. before 1824]. Dora Strong may be a daughter . Exactly where they fit in the years is unclear.

Martha (Lambden) b.1835 is very likely a daughter as well, thoug h she may be a granddaughter.
