Isle of Jersey
My Hasler connection is Theresa Hasler born July 23, 1864 on the Isle of Jersey which is between England and Germany.She married John Cuthbert Latham who was at the time a doctor who had studied medicine in Heidelbery (he was born in England) and stopped off on the Isle of Jersey to buy cattle before heading to America to be a cattle rancher in Wisconsin.The family legend is that Theresa was a stowaway on the ship.She had fallen in love with him at first sight.She was found out on the ship and Dr. Latham married her to prevent her from being taken back to her homeland.She was described in her newspaper memorial as being "a woman of rare beauty, olive skin, curling rebellious hair, great lusterous dark eyes, a busom capable woman with ready laughter."Would like to know who her parents were and any other information and most of all would dearly love a picture.
