Question:

Looking for Native American Geneolgy on Andrew Pillsbury d/b 1870?

Andrew Pillsbury's mother was Martha Philbrick and his father was Charles V. Pillsbury or Andrew Valentine Pillsbury.Looking for geneology or living relatives.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Here is some genealogy. Everyone I found has "White" for their race. They may have lied; being all or part Native American wasn't fashionable before 1960 or so.

I started with the 1870; Census Place: Springfield, Sullivan, New Hampshire; Roll: M593_850; Page: 591; Image: 405.
HH/Fam 147/130

Pillsbury, Charles V., 36, farm laborer, NH (As are the rest)
----, Martha J., 27
----, Flora B., 3
----, Charles A., 2
----, Andrus V, 2/12ths [Census taken 4 Aug 1870)

Same HH, family 131
Pillsbury, Charles, 64, farmer [2:1 he's the dad, but he could be an uncle]
----, Lovina, 65
----, Francis B., 33, [male]
----, Naomi P., 27
----, Emma J, 2 [Emma is probably daughter of Francis & Naomi - check them in 1880]
----, Rosina R., domestic servant



From the LDS 1880:

While I was in the LDS 1880, I checked on Francis:

Name Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation Father's Birthplace Mother's Birthplace
Francis B. PILLSBURY Self M Male W 43 NH Farming NH NH
Naomi P. PILLSBURY Wife M Female W 37 NH Keeping House NH NH
Emma J. PILLSBURY Dau S Female W 11 NH At School NH NH
Lavina PILLSBURY Dau S Female W 8 NH At School NH NH
Zeena W. PILLSBURY Son S Male W 6 NH At School NH NH
Ben PILLSBURY Son S Male W 5 NH At School NH NH
Orin H. PILLSBURY Son S Male W 4 NH At Home NH NH
Excelia PILLSBURY Dau S Female W 1 NH NH NH

Source Information:
Census Place Springfield, Sullivan, New Hampshire
Page Number 385A

and I checked on Lovina. 1807 Charles had died:

Household:

Name Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation Father's Birthplace Mother's Birthplace
Lavina PILLSBURY Self W Female W 75 NH NH NH

Note the page number; Francis is just three houses up the road.


Moving back, Year: 1860; Census Place: Norwich, Windsor, Vermont; Roll: M653_1328; Page: 191; Image: 387.

Chas Pillsbury 55 (All b. NH)
Lovina Pillsbury 55
Chas W Pillsbury 26
Caroline Pillsbury 25
Frank Pillsbury 23
B Mary Pillsbury 19
Ruth Pillsbury 13

"Frank" is undoubtedly "Francis", using a variation to throw his descendants off the track.

Lovina ", 45
Charles ", 17, farmer
Chloe Ann ", 16
Francis B., 14 [m]

[Whoops - that 6 year gap between Frank and Matilda hints there is at least one short white coffin buried out back of the church in Springfield, and a mother gets a sad look in her eyes once or twice a year, on the child's birth or death date.]
Rosina, 3 [another gap]

Robert is a grandson, so either his mother died or he's visiting for the summer. Mary's father was born in the Irish Free State, her mother in Massachusetts.
