I wanted March to be "A Month of Mousers" but I'm woefully unprepared! This is the line that is not mine, but my brother-in-law's. It's also the line that I believe I could use to get the girls into the DAR, but I've been dragging my feet on researching. So, I thought I'd at least put one of the ancestors out there - sort of to taunt me into working on them.
This week it will be short and sweet, because I have no pictures - yet. There is a picture on Ancestry that might be Enoch & Hattie, but I need to hear from the person whose tree I found it on to be sure.
First, just the facts:
Name: Enoch Melvin Mouser
Born: 13 [15?]-Apr-1879, near Hope, Arkansas
Married: Hattie Jackson, 04-May-1902, Columbia County, Arkansas
Died: 21-Mar-1966, Grayson, Louisiana [Find-A-Grave memorial]
Relationship: My nieces' and nephew's great-great-grandfather
They are descended through:
- his son, Cotys Milner Mouser (1906 - 1991)
- his son, John Melvin Mouser (living)
- his son, their father, Christian Mathis Mouser (living)
Enoch was a minister - even his gravestone has Rev. Enoch Melvin Mouser and that's how I always think of his name - with the Reverend included, almost as if it were his first name. Here is a wonderful obituary/memory of Reverend Mouser written by this son, Roy.
I'm afraid that's all I have for now...so I guess I'd better get to work!
Maybe someday you will get pictures... But that's a big maybe!!
ReplyDeleteHa! I've already heard from that person and the picture IS Hattie and Enoch so there!!
DeleteA couple of Mouser girls married into my Sutton family in the mid 1850's in Hempstead County. Small world!
ReplyDeleteHey Terri ~ Maybe you and my brother in law are related! I need to start researching in Hempstead County and figure out these Mousers. :-)
Deletehi Diana:
ReplyDeleteI am connected to Amos Melvin Mouser through wife Mary Victoria Ross. I am the webmaster of www.johnrosssr.com. Mary is the 5th child for John Ross and Annis Mae Galloway Rothwell Ross. I have information on Enoch. I do not have any pictures of Enoch and family. I do have pictures of his sister's family Ruby Pearl and Abbie Ruth. Would appreciate any information on Enoch's family and any other related information.

Hi Helen ~
ReplyDeleteI'll e-mail you separately. I don't have much on Enoch but a little on the family going forward. It's my brother-in-law's family so I haven't researched it extensively at this point. I'm anxious to check out your website!
Thanks - Diana
