Grandchildren of Jeremiah Pemberton and Susanna Jermyn

As most of you know, I just returned from a trip to Michigan. It made me think of cousins, so I decided to do a blog post listing my great-great-grandfather and all of his first cousins. Jeremiah Pemberton is the farthest ancestor I've found on my maternal grandfather's side. I figure this exercise may also help me to see naming patterns, which could help in finding Jeremiah and Susanna's parents.

Wow, it looks like there were 52 grandchildren - 33 boys and 19 girls! And I thought my grandparents had a lot with 31.

Naming Patterns:
2 Jeremiah's, presumably after their grandfather

2 Burton's, some sources give grandfather Jeremiah's middle initial as "B."

2 Albert's, not sure who this could be

2 Wesley's, not sure who this could be

1 Susanna, presumably after her grandmother

2 Nellie's, not sure who this could be

3 William's, William Thomas is named after his father, William Thomas PEMBERTON; the other two William's could be named after the same man (who would be their uncle)

1 John, possibly named after his paternal uncle, John PEMBERTON, or his maternal grandfather, John MCCOY

Looks like several of Elmira's sons were named after presidents or other prominent figures in American history (Grover Cleveland, Chester Arthur, Benjamin Franklin)

It's possible that Eliza's son, Hayes, was named after Rutherford B. Hayes. Maybe she was competing with her sister for presidents' names.

2 Reuben's, Reuben MORRISON was presumably named after his father; Reuben FINK was presumably named after the same man, his maternal uncle

1 Charles, presumably named after his father, Charles PEMBERTON

1 Henry Isaac, presumably named after his maternal grandfather, Isaac H. WINTERS

1 Martin Robertson, presumably named after his maternal uncle, John M. ROBERTSON

2 Essie's, not sure who this could be

2 Sarah's, probably both named after their aunt, Sarah Maria PEMBERTON

1 Ella, presumably named after her paternal aunt, Elmira PEMBERTON. Several sources give Elmira's nickname as Ella.

  1. Hi Jennifer,
    I love the way you coloured all the entries - very easy on the eyes - I'm going to copy your idea one of these days - they say imitation is the highest form of flattery!!!
