I am in search of information about the parents of John Boardman Trask, born on 27 May 1824 in Roxbury MA and died on 3 July 1879 San Francisco, CA.
He married Abbie Maria Lowell on 2 Sept 1865 in San Francisco CA, who was born on 23 June 1847 in Foxcroft MA and died on 19 Jul 1902 in Berkley CA.
Abbie's parents were Philip Smith Lowell and Harriet Byram Butler. They had three children, i.e.,Harriet Trask, b: 16 Aug 1867 San Francisco CA and d: 17 Sep 1923, Emmaline Steele Trask, b: 20 Oct 1869 San Francisco CA
and d: 17 Mar 1947 Indio, Riverside, CA, Elizabeth Augusta Trask, b: 23 July 1872 San Francisco CA and d: 22 May 1885. Emmaline Trask is my gg grandmother. My e-mail address is aws6266@ksu.edu
Beth sent us a digital copy of a letter which quotes William Blake Trask. The letter, dated May 25, [18]92, states the genealogy of John Boardman Trask, came from an "old family bible located in Roxbury, MA". The author also states that no records of Samuel5 and Elizabeth's 15 children or their children could be found in the Roxbury records. It suggests that the only daughter of Julia Ann Trask and Luke Jewett, "Julia G. Jewett", who married a Col. Dudley, residing in Roxbury, MA, had this bible. We would love to see that "old family bible". Please, contact us.
In our quest for "that bible", Lee Jewett Petry, Historian, Jewett Family of America, Inc., has provided us with some additional information. General Nathan Augustus Monroe Dudley was a professional soldier. We found information about him in Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the US - Register and the Historical Register and Dictionary of the United States Army.
We are looking for the father of George A. Trask, born in New York State on January 3, 1848, .
He and his mother moved to Iowa in 1860-1870, he is in the cenus records of Delaware Co. Iowa. George's father was born in MA
and his mother was from NY, according to the 1900 Census for Woodbury Co.,
IA -- Siuox City, pg 109.
He married Alvira Millard, who was born August of 1851 in Coldwater or
Goldwater, MI, in 1868. They moved to MN and South Dakota and back to Iowa. George was a freight hauler (in a covered wagon) when he and
his bride came to IA; thereafter, he became a farmer.
He died in 1933 in Sioux City, Iowa. His daughter Enda Grace Trask was born in South Dakota on May 10, 1881. The family moved to Sioux City in the late 1880 with
three children Feddie Trask (1869-1918) , Blance N. Trask, and Enda Grace Trask. Two of Edna's daughters, Pearl and Opal, still live in Sioux
City and a son, Tom, lives in CA -- I beleive they are all in their 90s.
Here is what I know to date: My father is David Lawrence Clement. His father was John (Elwyn) Clement. John's father was Lucien Mills Clement. Now for the good part - Lucien's parents were Timothy Clement and Louisa Trask. This is according to a questionnaire he submitted updating his life after college. Lucien states he was born in June, 1864, his father died in April, 1864, in the Civil War.
I stumbled on George Trask while looking for Lucien in the census records. I found them both living in Palermo, NY, Osawgo County, in the 1870 census records. Lucien is listed as a cousin, but I do not know to whom he is related as a cousin. He is 6 however, and I believe that is he. George is listed with Marion, who I would think is his wife, and 2 other children with the last name of Trask, and also 2 children other than Lucien, with different last names. The census record I have is very light and hard to read.
In going back to find George, I did not find him in the 1860 census, but I did in the 1850 census records. He is living in Amboy, Oswego County, NY with Ellen. Both census records show him as a shoemaker. "Loisa" is listed with him, but no relation, However, she is 26. There are 6 other persons listed with different last names, with the occupation "farmer". In addition, my second cousin in NY has the Clement family bible and copied a list of persons, incluidng a Mary Ann Munger, born April 28, 1811, who could be married to George. According to the bible, George was born March 1, 1807. This would put him at age 43 in 1850 and he is listed as 50 years old. In 1870, he would be 63 and that seems to be the age listed on the faint census records.
Please contact me if you have any information about my family. catpak@execpc.com

I have found a connection to the Trask's in my family and would hope to gain some additional information. My ggg grandfather Minor/Miner Grant married an Abigail Trask. From a census taken in Fayette Iowa in 1856; Minor Grant age 49 born CN, Abigail Grant age 52 born NY. From The US Census of 1860 ; Minor Grant age 49 born CN, Abigail Grant age 51 born VT.
Their two sons were Charles W. Grant and Francis Marion Grant. From Francis's Civil War records I found that his mother's maiden name was Trask. Francis was born in Cuyahoga Co. Ohio in 1844. If the information I have is correct I am looking for an Abigail Trask born in 1804 or 1809 either in NY or VT.
I would appreciate any and all help - Thank you - my e-mail address is jparris000@centurytel.net
I'm looking for information on my gg-grandfather's brother, John Ransom, who married Alminia Trask in 1836; she is allegedly the daughter of Retire Trask of Thompson, Geauga County, Ohio. Alminia died in April of 1896, in Cleveland Ohio. I'd enjoy any possible leads on that Trask family. It's a collateral line to my Ransoms, so I have not looked around for the name. If you can help, please e-mail me at mransom@peak.org

From Suzanne W. Guinn I am looking for information on Caleb Putnam Trask (1820-1878) from the Bradford County, PA area.
The Census states he was born in NY. We have believe Caleb had a brother and sister, Almond and Phoebe, as well as two half brothers, William and Alanson. It seems they all lived in and around Bradford County, PA. Phoebe lived her adult life with her brother Caleb.
It is very possible that Caleb Putnam Trask was a great grandson of Josiah Trask (b: 10-4-1720 Beverly, MA, d: 1-1799 Monson, MA) and Anna Putnam (married on 10-31-1745 in Sutton, MA, b: 7-27-1726 Salem Village).
Josiah Trask is the grandson of Osmond Traske and 2nd wife Elizabeth Galley.
Josiah's 5th son was Caleb, whos only record of existance, was written in his fathers will.
Josiah's 10th child was Noah Trask (b: 1758 or 1759 Monson, MA, d: 10-15-1850 Otego, NY).
Circumstantial evidence points to William Trask (b: 1782, d: 10-7-1820) the 2nd son of Noah.
William died when Caleb would have been 8 months old.
The evidence to date is very suspiscious but nothing is conclusive - yet. If you have any additional information about Josiah Trask and his family, PLEASE contact me. |

Any information on; 1. Jacob R. Trask - we are looking for information about his parents. Reported as being born around 1811 at North Hero, Grand Isle, VT. Jacob married Elenor S. or Elnora B. Clough, who was born on 1-17-1819 East Charleston, VT. Elnora was the daughter of Jabez or Jabish Clough [b: 6-5-1794 Hallowell, ME, d: 7-4-1872 E. Charleston, VT] and Lette or Letty Capron married on 8-10-1818 Barnston, Quebec [b: 2-7-1796 Arcadia, d: 6-5 or 6-19-1868 E. Charleston, VT]. Both Jacob and Elenor were residing in 1850 Hopkinton, St. Lawrence Co., NY, [roll 0, page 314]. Jacob died in 1853 Hopkinton, NY, and Elenor died in 1856 Hopkinton, NY. The four surviving children (Lorenzo H. [b: 4-14-1844 Hopkinton, NY], Stillman E. [b: 8-17-1845 Canada], Adaline E. [b: 10-15-1849 Elmira, NY] and Lyman W. [b: 1-18-1852 possibly NY]) moved to Bluffton, Winneshiek County, Iowa with their mother's brother's family, Gardner Spaulding Clough after 1856. The 1860 Iowa Census shows all four of Jacob and Elenor's children living in Iowa. Lorenzo H. wrote, in 1916, that his father was born in "Penn". |
