Although many now have access to many more on-line records, the extractions to my census records include corrections to the enumerator's errors and also the maiden name of the women when known. Since I began blogging, there is also more information available at my PDP's Roots & Branches and Early St. Louis blogs.

Please keep in mind I've compiled this data primarily by linking census records to birth and marriage records - and any biographical sketches I might have found pertaining to any of the families or individuals, so I advise you to follow up from the sources I've included at the bottom of the sketch. The narrative include links to the census extractions/images and images to other records of interest. Any information you can contribute, or any errors you might correct, I gladly accept your emails. Questions and comments are most welcome as well. Thanks, and enjoy browsing.

Additional Note: Spelling of the surname, including birth records of the twins was spelled Gerald, but other spellings include Gerould, Gerold, Jerauld.

1. Charles C. Jerald - twin born 15 May 1862 in Boscawen, Merrimack Co., NH; married Mary Etta Hardy in Boscawen on 28 Nov 1887, she having been born in Concord, NH in March of 1862 and was the daughter of Elbridge Hardy and Sarah (Morse).

In about 1879 she married Benjamin "Bennie" Swain who was born in New Hampshire in 1854. They were enumerated in Epping, Rockingham Co., NH in 1880 and 1900 and was widowed before the next Federal census was taken. According to his death record, Benjamin V. Swain died at Epping on 19 Nov 1908 at the age of 54. He was listed as having been a resident of Brentwood where he was born on 27 Jul 1854. Listed as the son of George W. Swain, he was interred at Prospect Cemetery on the 21st. Prior to his birth, his parents were enumerated in the 1850 census residing at Brentwood along with other Swain and Veasie relations, and in 1860 Benny was listed as age five. The family was then enumerated in Epping in 1870 living near the families of E. Chase Brown, John S. Blaisdell, and 77 year old Rebecca Chase.

In 1910, Emma is residing in the Kingston Village household of the widower "E. Chase Rowell" and his two children: Mary S (age 4)., and Bridge R. Rowell (age 11) whose 1900 household in Raymond Town, Rockingham Co., NH, had included his wife Agnes M. (Sargent), their son Bridge and a servant, Anna M. Jones who was divorced, born in January of 1847, and was perhaps an in-law or some relation of Emma who then became their housekeeper in 1910. Also, given the middle name of Erastus Chase Rowell, son of John and Mary (Rice), it would seem likely that there is some relation between the Rowell and Chase family although this lead has not been investigated.

Emma is listed in the 1920 census as a companion of Eva J. Hill living in Epping, but 1930 finds her residing in the home of her widowed brother Elgin in Lynn, Essex, Massachusetts. Emma's date of death is not known, however, she was last enumerated in Manchester, Hillsborough Co., NH in 1940, listed as age 83 - married once, no children.

Additional Notes: The surname Veazey, has varied spellings such as Veasey, Veazie, Veasie. According to her New Hampshire death record, Bennie's mother, Betsey, was born in Brentwood and died at the age of 68 years, 3 months and 20 days on 18 Aug 1883. Calculating her age at the time of death, she would have been or or about 29 Apr 1815 and was the daughter of Benj. Veasie and Betsey Graves. The father of Benjamin, George W. Swain, was born at Brentwood, Rockingham Co., New Hampshire on or about 15 Jun 1817 as calculated by his age at death 80 years and 8 months. According to his death record, he died 15 Feb 1898 and was listed as the son of Stephen Swain and Hannah Davis. Along with Benjamin, his parents and his sister Mary A. Swain (who died at twelve weeks and 4 days on 13 Jul 1857) are buried at Prospect Cemetery. Their headstones have been beautifully photographed by Jenn Marcelais at Grave Matters.

Note: As noted in the obituary of Charles' mother Catherine, after his death and the death of his wife shortly after, their two children Eleanor "Delle" and Henry C., both resided with his parents.

According to the births of the children, the Barnes family moved to Winnebago Co., Illinois sometime between 1873 and 1876. By 1880, Estella's mother Laura is listed as widowed and head of household in Rockford, and apparently Estella was hired out as she appears in the 1880 census as a servant in the household of James Keith.

In 1900 Ira and and his family are residing in Hyde Park Township in Cook County, Illinois with their three children, and Ira is working as an insurance agent. By 1910 he was employed as a realtor and their household included their daughter Margaret. According to his obituary, Ira died at his home on 44th street in Chicago on 13 Dec 1916. His death certificate indicates he died of a cerebral hemorrhage, and that he was buried in Rockford - speculated to be at Cedar Bluff Cemetery where his mother was interred in 1905 and his father in 1918.
