James LaTourette 2/28/05
I am currently going through all the LaTourette lines, including all the known female lines. My new theory is that this James Latourette is the James LaTourette born 22 Aug 1794 on Staten Island and married Cornelia Ann Gale at the Garden Street or South Dutch Reformed Church, New York, New York Co., NY on 20 Nov 1823. I know that his son, also named James, was born "Lower Broadway" in New York City.This James, born 23 Mar 1826, was born James Annover Moore LaTourette who became a minister in NYC, Staten Island and became a chaplin for the USA ans was stationed several places in the west and died in Indiana. This James is also mentioned in the Latourette Annals in America - where he provided some inacurate information on the family. Just a theory - he was on Lower Broadway in NYC at the time Sojourner Truth was said to be there. His son becoming a minister also indicates that their family may have been a religious one?
