Notes for H
ENRIETTA ROSINA LARWILL:
BORN: Family histories that have been passed down say that she was born in Britton, England . So far, there is not such a place, so believe this was supposed to be "Britain". Parents , Abraham Larwill and Elizabeth Boxall married in Lewes, Sussex, ENG on 3 May 1801. Possibly , they were still in Lewes when Henrietta was born. There are discrepencies regarding the dat e of Henrietta's birth:
Breese family history states her birth date as 3 Nov 1820. Tombstone information estimates d ate of birth from age given at death as 1 Nov 1820. Brian Larwill's information shows Nov 3 , 1818 as birthdate
Family history says that Abraham came to NY in 1818 and settled in Paterson, NJ. I found a P assenger Lists index which shows Abraham in 1820 to New York, so think Henrietta was born i n England. Also, Henrietta lists place of birth as England in both the 1850 and 1860 Censu s returns for Illinois (Serena, Ottawa, IL)
Henry Larwill, Box 978,Golden, British Columbia,V0A 1H0,Canada,
sent me information that he got from Brian Larwill that shows Henrietta's parents as Abraha m (3) Larwill and Elizabeth Boxall. I feel certain that this is correct now.
