Lounsbury Lingo

You will notice a wide variety of surname spellings associated with the Lounsbury Tree. The most commonspelling is “Lounsbury” though “Lounsberry” and “Lounsbery” are also prevalent. In 99% of researched cases, Canadiansand Americans with these surname spellings are linked by common ancestors: Richard Lounsbury and Elizabeth(Pennoyer) Lounsbury of what is now Rye, NY, who were married there in 1670. There are many other surnamevariations who fit our extended family tree, including Lansbury (though apparently not the famous actress AngelaLansbury), Lainspeary, and Lonsberry.

For simplicity, we use the letter “L” to denote the surname regardless of its spelling. Hence the phrasing “L” Treeat the top of this page.

Hackness is a village and a civil parish in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. It is about 6 and 1/2miles northwest of Scarborough.

The baptisms and marriages of our Lownsbrough ancestors likely would have occurred in the ancient parishchurch of St. Peter in Hackness. It has been a place of worship for over 1300 years. The church building hasexamples of carvings and architecture from the Anglo-Saxon period, through Norman and Gothic, with Stuartand Tudor monuments and later Victorian stained glass. The ornate, baptismal font cover dating from c.1480 iscarved pear wood from Oberammergau, Germany. The church is also renowned for the first mention of achurch bell in England.

Permelia (Lounsberry) Gay’s 1864 Lettercontributed by Beverly Graham

I connect to the Lounsberry Family through Sarah Lounsberry (Phineas - 6, Nathan - 5, Nathan - 4, Henry - 3,Richard Lounsberry - 2, Richard Lownsborough - 1). Sarah is my great, great grandmother. This winter, I wasexcited to find, on Russ Tallman’s Family Tree at Ancestry, a letter written in 1864 by Sarah’s sister, Permelia.The letter from Permelia [Lounsberry] Gay (1814-1889) was written to Selina Lounsbury (Daniel - 7, Nathan -6, Nathan - 5, Nathan - 4, Henry - 3, Richard Lounsberry - 2, Richard Lownsborough - 1). Selina is thedaughter of Daniel Lounsbury (1805-1873). Permelia and Selina’s father, Daniel, are first cousins, thus; makingPermelia and Selina first cousins once removed. Researching the names in the letter intrigued me!

“MOTHER LOUNSBERRY health is not vary good” – this is likely Polly (Brown) Lounsberry, Betsey Ann,Permelia and Sarah’s stepmother. Their mother, Esther (Frost) Lounsberry, died in 1819. Phineas Lounsberrymarried 2nd Polly (Brown) Lounsberry. Polly is buried in the Old Presbyterian Cemetery on the Daggett Farm,north of Pulteney village in Pulteney Township, Steuben County, NY, in Row 12.

V. HEAVY ARTILLERY.WRITTEN BY CAPTAIN JAMES N. COE, LATE OF CO. H, SECOND C. V.HEAVY ARTILLERY.

THE Litchfield County Regiment, designated the Nineteenth Infantry, was projected in mass convention at Litchfield,July 22, 1862, in response to the appeal of Governor Buckingham, which followed President Lincoln's call (July 1st) for300,000 volunteers for three years.

August 24th, there had reported, at "Camp Dutton," Litchfield, nine companies, containing 815 men, and MajorElisha S. Kellogg of the First Artillery, who had been commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel, began the task of molding themass into an efficient military organization, and of inspiring in each member thereof "a knightly courage like his own."

Colonel L. W. Wessells attended to the details of organization, and on August 31st formed the tenth company(K), by sending to it such men as the commandants of the other nine might designate.

September 10th, Mrs. William Curtis Noyes presented a beautiful stand of colors to the regiment. On the 11th itwas formally mustered into the service of the United States, and on the 15th it proceeded by rail to Washington, D. C., andto Alexandria, Va., where it was equipped with "A" tents and Enfield rifles. It was assigned to duty under General J. P.Slough, "military governor of Alexandria," encamping just outside the city, and relieved the Thirty-third Massachusetts inthe disagreeable task of patrolling the city. This service soon began to tell on the health of the regiment. Colonel Wessellshimself became seriously ill, as well as other officers and a large number of the enlisted men; sixteen deaths occurringfrom disease in a single month.

January 12, 1863, brought, through the persistent solicitation of Colonel Kellogg for relief from this unwelcomeservice, an assignment to duty under General Robert O. Tyler, in the "military defenses of Alexandria," and change oflocation to Fort Worth, near Fairfax Seminary. This soon resulted in improving the health of the regiment.

May 12, 1863, its companies were distributed for garrison duty in Fort Ellsworth, Redoubts A, B, C, and D, andthe Water Battery on the Potomac, below Alexandria. September 16th, Colonel Wessells (his health proving to bepermanently impaired) tendered his resignation, and, October 23d, Lieutenant-Colonel Kellogg was promoted to thecolonelcy.

November 23d, its organization was changed, by order of the War Department, to artillery, and recruiting to thatstandard was authorized.

November 30th, Lieutenants Marsh, Knight, and Hosford were ordered to Connecticut on recruiting service, andCaptain Williams, with Lieutenants Coe and Candee, to the draft rendezvous at New Haven for the same purpose, and, byMarch 1, 1864, the regiment numbered 1,800 strong. May 17, 1864, it was ordered to the Army of the Potomac, which itjoined near Fredericksburg May 20th, and was assigned to General Emory Upton's (Second) brigade, First Division, SixthArmy Corps.

May 22d, it crossed the North Anna River, and while on the skirmish line lost its first man, killed by a rebel bullet.May 24th to 30th, it was occupied in destroying the railroads at various points, and making one of the hardest marches ofits entire service. May 30th, it was on picket near Tolopotomy Creek, and, May 31st, near Cold Harbor, losing two menkilled and five wounded.

June 1st, under command of Colonel Kellogg, the regiment was disposed in three lines, under Majors Hubbard,Rice, and Ells, and advanced in that order, the objective point being the heavy earthworks defended by Longstreet'sveterans. It passed at double-quick to the first line, capturing it and sending to the rear over 300 prisoners; forward againat double-quick, with intervals of less than 100 yards between the battalions, to and through a stiff abattis, within twentyyards of the enemy's main line, where it met a most destructive fire from both its front and left flank, but pressed on, someeven to the top of the main line of earthworks. Nothing could withstand the murderous fire that now met them, and theFirst and Second battalions crept back to the somewhat less exposed position held by the Third, but leaving on the field323 of Litchfield County's bravest sons, 129 of them dead or mortally wounded, -- a record unsurpassed by any regiment


of the Union army during the war. Among these were that ideal soldier, Colonel E. S. Kellogg, who fell riddled withbullets in the advance with the First battalion, Captain Luman Wadhams, who was mortally, and Major Ells, who wasseverely, wounded.

We are not allowed space in which to chronicle individual acts of bravery and devotion to duty, but cannot pass torecord other scenes without saying that the fortunate survivors of this terrible conflict remember with loving pride the lastwords and acts of such comrades as Corporal Baldwin of Company E (reported "missing," but certainly killed in action),and the cool, quiet, but quick and sensible decisions of Kellogg, Hubbard, Ells, Skinner, Fenn, Wadhams, Berry,Burnham, Hosford, Spencer, and other officers, and the unrecorded bravery of very many of our fellow-soldiers.

This advanced position was "stubbornly held" (vice Upton), and on the 3d another advance was made, theregiment being under fire continuously until the 12th.

June 6th, Captain R. S. Mackenzie, of the Engineer Corps, took command of the regiment, Lieutenant-ColonelHubbard declining promotion.

June 16th, embarked on James River, disembarking (17th) near Bermuda Hundred. 19th, crossed the Appomattox,and relieved Hinds's colored brigade, in rifle-pits in front of Petersburg, at night relieving our Eleventh Connecticutregiment, in a still more advanced position, with many silent evidences of the bravery of that regiment around us.

June 20th and 21st, made cautious and slight advances.June 22d, had a lively affair with Hill's Division, losing ten killed and nine wounded, but gaining a position that

was held by the Union army as the advance line until the close of the war. July 9th, marched through stifling dust, "kneedeep," to City Point, embarking on steamboats, disembarking July 12th at Washington, marching to Tenallytown, arrivingin time to hear the last of the firing and to engage in the chase of Early; forded the Potomac at Edward's Ferry July 16th;crossed the Blue Ridge at Snicker's Gap 17th; forded the Shenandoah 20th, and camped near Berryville. At midnightcommenced the return march, reaching Tenallytown 23d, remaining long enough for the issue of much-needed clothing.

July 25th, crossed Aqueduct Bridge to Fort Corcoran, relieving an Ohio regiment of one-hundred-days' men.July 26th, recrossed the Potomac, under orders to rejoin the Sixth Corps, which had been turned back to repel

another of Early's attempted invasions of Maryland and Pennsylvania.Joined the corps 27th; crossed the Potomac at Harper's Ferry 29th; was occupied in continual skirmishing up and

down the valley until September 11th, when Early was forced to near Cedar Creek, and the First Division camped nearClifton.

September 19th, was called into action to check the enemy, who had broken our lines near Winchester.General Sheridan's report tells the story, as follows: "At Winchester for a moment the contest was uncertain, but

the gallant attack of General Upton's Brigade (Second Connecticut Artillery, Sixty-fifth and One Hundred and Twenty-first New York, and Ninety-fifth Pennsylvania) restored the line of battle until the turning column of Crook and Merrittand Averill's divisions of cavalry sent the enemy whirling through Winchester." The regiment lost here 14 officers and122 enlisted men, killed and wounded, among them Major Rice and Lieutenants Candee, Hubbard, and Cogswell killed,Captain Berry and Lieutenant McCabe mortally wounded, and Lieutenant Fyler crippled for life by a wound in the leg.Colonel Mackenzie and Major Skinner were among the less seriously wounded.

September 22d, the corps was advanced directly up the seemingly impassable face of Fisher's Hill, arriving at thesummit just as the Eighth Corps, by a brilliant move, was enabled to strike the right flank of an otherwise impregnableposition, and the enemy was driven in the utmost confusion, the Second Artillery losing only four killed and nineteenwounded.

September 25th, at Harrisonburg, the command was again faced toward the Potomac, with orders to destroyeverything which, if left behind, could give aid or comfort to the enemy. Ashby's Gap was reached October 13th. Here,Sheridan, learning of Early's presence in the valley again, once more headed his own army up the valley, encamping(October 14th) near Cedar Creek, where, early on the 19th, it was surprised and driven back about three miles. About 4 P.M., a new line was established, and the enemy driven to and beyond our camp of the previous day, again scattering Early'sarmy. This day the regiment lost thirty-eight killed and ninety-six wounded. Captain Hosford was killed early in themorning, and Captain Fenn and Lieutenant Gregory each lost an arm,--severe losses for the regiment, which had learnedto rely on the quiet self-possession and unflinching bravery of these officers.

Lieutenant Henry Skinner, with about forty men of Companies E and L, was on picket and captured, and was notreleased until about the time of Lee's surrender.

November 9th, camped at Kearnstown. December 2d, moved (by rail) to Washington, and by boat to City Point,thence over "Grant's railroad" to Parke Station, to comfortable winter quarters, where the First Division passed the winterdoing picket duty, with an occasional unexplained movement to the right or left, and recruiting for active operations in thespring.

December 28th, Colonel Mackenzie was promoted Brigadier-General, and Lieutenant-Colonel Hubbard advancedto the colonelcy January 7, 1865.


February 5th, participated in an affair at Hatcher's Run, passing the day massed ready for a charge, in a drizzling,freezing rain, with shots from the artillery of both armies passing over us; in action for a short time about dusk, returningto the winter quarters February 8th, the only casualties in the regiment being nine men wounded.

March 29th, moved to the right to Fort Steadman, which our troops recaptured just as the Sixth Corps came up;thence to the left, and advanced toward Petersburg, in front of Fort Fisher. The brigade passed a line of rifle-pits,capturing theoccupants, and advanced to a position found to be untenable (no support appearing), and was faced about and returned tothe line occupied by the other troops. This movement cost the Second Artillery seven killed and thirteen wounded.

About midnight, April 1st, the brigade formed in front of the breastworks during the heaviest cannonading it hadever witnessed, and at dawn, April 2d, charged over the rebel works and into their camps, which were deserted as our lineapproached, the only casualties in the regiment being Lieutenant-Colonel Skinner and seven enlisted men wounded.

The brigade was here ordered to report to Major-General Parke, commanding the Ninth Corps, and marched to theright to Fort Hell, thence by a covered way to the rebel works, captured earlier in the day by the Ninth Corps. April 3d thebrigade advanced (the Second Artillery leading), entering the city of Petersburg, where Colonel Hubbard was madeprovost-marshal, only to be relieved a few hours later, when the brigade was ordered to rejoin the Sixth Corps, which itdid April 4th, following the fleeing Confederate "Army of Virginia" closely on the 5th, and on the 6th of April, 1865,having its last fight (at Little Sailors' Creek), a sharp, short action, the Second Artillery losing three killed and sevenwounded, capturing one battle-flag, the headquarters' train of General Mahone's division, and a great number of prisoners.

April 7th, bivouacked near Farmville; 8th, near New Store; and 9th, near Clover Hill, where General Hamblin(who commanded the brigade) announced the news of Lee's surrender.

April 23d, while camped at Burkeville, the corps was ordered to proceed to Danville, prepared to operate withGeneral Sherman against General Johnston's army in North Carolina. This march of 105 miles was accomplished in a littleless than five days, the corps arriving at Danville April 27th, there learning of Johnston's surrender.

May 2d, the regiment, with the exception of Companies F, G, and K, was detailed as guard to the wagon train onthe return march to Burkeville, where it arrived May 6th, remaining until the 18th, when the corps moved (the SecondArtillery by rail) to Manchester, opposite Richmond.

May 24th, marched through Richmond, and arrived at Fredericksburg May 29th, thence to Bailey's Cross Roads(June 1st), where it remained until the 8th. Here the regiment received the addition to its members of the "new men" of theFourteenth Connecticut, the original members of that organization having been mustered out.

June 8th, took part in a grand review in Washington.June 16th, was assigned to the Third Brigade, Hardin's Division, Twenty-Second Army Corps, and ordered to

garrison eleven forts on the north side of the Potomac.June 27th, was transferred to Forts Ethan Allen, Marcy, Albany, and Battery Martin Scott, on the south side of the

Potomac.July 7th, the remaining members of the original Nineteenth Regiment were mustered out, and left for home.July 20th, the twelve companies were consolidated to eight (I, K, L, and M ceasing to exist), and August 18,

1865, these eight companies were mustered out at Fort Ethan Allen, receiving final discharges at New Haven September5, 1865.

Buried Methodist Cemetery, Seymour, CT. In the 1880US Census had one daughter Lizzie May.

CLEMENT A. LOUNSBURY - see CLEMENT AUGUSTUS LOUNSBERRY - Born March 22, 1843, in DeKalbCounty, Ind., Lounsberry was orphaned as a youth. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Lounsberry, a farm laborer inMichigan, enlisted as a private in Company I, First Michigan Volunteers. Wounded and taken prisoner July 21, 1861, atthe First Battle of Bull Run, he spent a year in Confederate hands. Exchanged in June 1862, he received an officer'scommission and moved up the promotion ladder quickly. As a colonel commanding two units, the First MichiganSharpshooters and the Second Michigan Infantry regiments, he received the surrender of Petersburg, Virginia, on April 3,1865.(Editor’s Note: See earlier Trees for articles on Clement.

I saw him myself the day before he died just as we all went out on a scout. And I didnot think he would live then.

Lounsbery Building – 1906 - Bedford, New York

38 Village GreenOf Greek Revival style, the store adjoining the Post Office was built by Richard P. Lounsbery to replace a nearby one thathad been burned down. It always housed a store and was the village A & P for many years. While the Atlantic & Pacificgrocery store chain identified itself by having a red storefront, this building had a different distinction. It was the only A &P with a white storefront as the owner, Edith Colgate, one of the founders of The Bedford Historical Society, made that acondition of the lease. In 1972, the building was purchased from Mrs. Colgate’s heirs and is currently leased.

THE TAUNTON DAILY GAZETTE; Taunton, Mass., 31 December 2011

RAYNHAM — The 83-year-old Raynham native first won an election to take the town’s top clerical position in 1974,working as a staffer in the clerk’s office up until then. Lounsbury’s colleagues celebrated her as an outstanding and veryknowledgeable clerk, who has helped navigate the town through years of elections, keeping vital records and evenoverseeing marriages.Friday was Lounsbury’s last day on the job.

“You just know when it’s been long enough,” Lounsbury said, adding that she has enjoyed her time as town clerk.Lounsbury has passed on her knowledge and experience as town clerk to her daughter, Marsha Silvia, who was appointedby the Raynham Board of Selectmen as the acting town clerk. Silvia, who has been assistant town clerk for 25 years, alsoplans to run for the position during the April 21 election.

Silvia described working with her mother as an honor and a pleasure, adding she has learned so much from her.“She has taught me so many things, not only about the many duties and responsibilities of the Town Clerk's Office as faras elections, town meetings, census and vital records, but also about the responsibilities and duties we have to the public,”Silvia said. “She always made herself available to the public. No matter how busy she was doing paperwork, if someonecame in to talk to her in private about issues we handle in our office, she was never too busy to talk to that person.“And she never complained about it either. ... She's also a lot of fun and has a great sense of humor — especially on April1. She would fool all of us.”

Silvia said her mother has definitely earned her retirement after putting her life into Raynham, the town she loves.Lounsbury and her late husband Al were well known in Raynham for their contributes to local volunteerism.

“She has devoted much of her life to the town and she deserves to relax and enjoy life,” Silvia said.Raynham Selectwoman Marie Smith has worked with Lounsbury since the 1960s, when they both worked in the

clerk’s office.“She has been an asset to the community and she always has been,” Smith said. “She was a top professional in her

field. She’ll be missed very much.”After news of Lounsbury’s retirement was announced, Board of Selectmen Chair Joseph Pacheco said Lounsbury

was emblematic of Raynham.“Her dedication is unmatched,” Pacheco said. “Her commitment is unwavering. She is Raynham.”


Pamela Menconi, a senior clerk who has worked with Lounsbury for a year-and-a-half, said she was happy to havedeveloped a friendship with the longtime town clerk during her time at the Raynham Town Hall. Menconi said whileLounsbury was a great teacher in the office, she also hopes to continue learning more about cooking from her.

“We often would swap recipes, and Helen has promised to teach me how to cook authentic Polish food once sheretires,” Menconi said. “On a professional level, her knowledge of the job is unbeatable and she was a great teacher to mewhen I first started working in her office.”

Menconi said for Helen to continue working long after she was eligible to retire not only speaks volumes abouther dedication to the job, but also is a telling sign of how much she enjoyed the work she did.

In addition to the clerical duties Lounsbury had, she also acted as a justice of the peace, overseeing civil weddingceremonies.

Many of the weddings took place at Lounsbury’s home. But one of the most remarkable weddings she presidedover took place thousands of feet into sky in an airplane.

Silvia said Raynham’s town government will not be the same without Lounsbury’s presence. “I have the utmostrespect and admiration for her,” Silvia said. “She really does love this town and she is very genuine. I know the TownHall will never be the same.”

ARTHUR CURRIE LOUNSBURY - (June 18, 1919 - April 16, 2012)Following a brief hospitalization, Art quietly passed away on April 16, 2012.A man of integrity, loyalty and love, Arthur was born in Treherne, Manitoba June 18,

1919.He enjoyed a rich and lengthy life and took pride in the fact that he retained his

independence and was able to help others to the end of his days.Art was predeceased by his two brothers. Arnold and Harvey as well as three sisters,

Gladys, Ramona and Audrey. He was also predeceased by his daughter, Bonnie in 2011 andhis loving wife Babe who passed away in 2007.

Left to honour his memory is his stepdaughter Linda (Doug) Davidson, grandson ChrisAlexander (Roxanne), grandson Douglas Alexander and Art’s special “Pal”, granddaughterKelly Davidson. He also leaves four great grandsons, Adrian, Jessie, Dallas and Jory whowill have fond recollections of their Great Grampa as well as several nieces, a nephew anddozens of cousins and other Lounsbury relatives.

Arthur joined the CNR in 1943 and spent the ensuing 39 years working in variousdepartments. He retired in 1982 and enjoyed many years vacationing with Babe, tending his tomato plants at their homeon Hill Street and watching the squirrels while he babysat his granddaughter on weekends. In later years, he and Babecontinued to enjoy retirement with their many friends and neighbours at 685 St. Anne’s Road. For the past 5 years, Arttook pleasure in the companionship of the staff and residents at Dakota House where he lived until he was hospitalized.

Although Art never took material things for granted, he was generous with both his time and possessions. Hevolunteered with Meals on Wheels for many years, and helped family members get a hand up in order to build a better lifefor themselves.

He visited his daughter Bonnie faithfully twice a week at the Tache Centre during her lengthy illness and took hisgranddaughter to dozens of medical appointments over the years. Although it’s impossible to sum up a lifetime in a fewwords, Art’s life may be best reflected in these parting words from his beloved wife, Babe “Take care of Art. He’s a goodman.” And so he was.

We wouldalso like to thank long-time friend, Doreen Frame for her help and concern and Ron and Carol Scott for their steadfastlove and support.

Flowers gratefully declined although a donation in Arthur’s memory may be made to The Huntington Society, TheArthritis Society or Cancer Care Manitoba.
