Constance Abby Entwistle Hoar died in Ridgewood NJ and is buried in the Hoar family plot, Dutch Reformed Church, Mahwah, NJ
Frederick Adelbert Hoar is also buried in the family plot.
There was one other child, Margery, born about 1898, who lived less than a year.
My mother, Constance Georgia Hoar Gee, was born in Hoboken, died in Miami and was cremated. At her request, her ashes were distributed over Biscayne Bay, thanks to a friend with a helicopter. A gravestone was placed for her in the Hoar plot at Mahwah.
She and William Eugene Roesch had one child, Diana de Rham Roesch, living in Miami, Florida [married 11-06-48 to James Marquette Phillips (Mark), five chldren, 13 grandchildren]
If you Google Reuben Hoar, you will see a picture of his powderhorn, which was in my grandparents' home as I was growing up. I have a rollout drawing of it made by my grandfather Fred's brother Charles Norris Hoar. I contacted the collector who owns it and was told he purchased it in an antique shop in Philadelphia in the 80's from a Debbie Roy, he thinks. I never met her, but the powderhorn had come to her eventually and we always hoped it was now in a museum. Deborah was the daughter of Charles "Bud" Hoar, son of Frederick's younger brother Walton. The horn always went to the eldest son, so from Charles Norris to Frederick Adelbert to Walton Washburn and then to Bud, thence to his daughter (no son.) I haven't been able to find her.
I am still trying to make the connection back to Minute Man Reuben, but information on him is very sketchy--basically what goes with the horn, which was made by his brother Leonard in 1758.
IN my Internet travels, I have been playing with other family names: Entwistle, Cass, Pangborn, Roesch;, Lederle. Now I have a great jumble of notes to play with--fascinating, isn't it?
. . . . and a Happy New Year!
