Loretta Eliz. Haughtalling and bro. Chas
Looking for parents of Loretta Elizabeth Haughtelling born 1853; maybe in Canada and registered in NY, but maybe in upper NY state. She had at least one brother, Charles Houghteling. She first married in 1869 in Wisc. Her obit. says her father "enlisted in the service of his country" (which country?). Oral history says her father ran a trading post on the St. Lawrence seaway and that she could cut out a man's suit without a pattern. Conflicting oral history says her father was either John or Pierre and that her mother was either Attar Baintree, a Penobscot Indian, or Samanta Ann Gibbs. I suspect the old ones got their generations mixed in the telling. Anyone got any clues?
