George Longley Nottage

Notes:

In the 1880 Federal Census, George & Sarah are living in Providence, RI, with the three girls.

In the 1900 Federal Census, the family is living on Warren Ave. in East Providence, RI. Six children are in the household: Mabel E., George L. Jr., Leonora A., Sarah M., Arthur D., & Clifton S .

In the 1910 Federal Census, George L. Nottage is age 56 RI, widowed, a painter living at Jamestown, Newport Co., RI. Census data shows his father as born in RI and his mother in CT. In the same census, he is also listed as living in Providence with his married daughter and husband, Leonora A. & Walter P. Stinchfield.

It is possible that his wife Thera is not listed in 1910, but that she and George were still married.

In 1920 George L. Nottage is age 64 RI, remarried, and still a painter (runs shop), living at Los Angeles, CA. His wife is Theria A., 67 NY.

In the Federal Census of 1930, George is an "inmate" in Infirmary 14 of the Los Angeles County Farm in Downey Township. According to census data, he is age 75 and widowed.

The California Death Index says he died at age 81, on 12 July 1935.

Notes:

According to the marriage record at Boston, this was Thera's third marriage. Her age is given as 53, residence Aberdeen, S. Dakota. Her parents are identified as George Parsons and Fannie Sweet. (See additional notes for Thera.)

George is age 52, his residence is Providence, and he is a paper hanger. His parents are identified as John S. Nottage and Rebecca M. Beazely.

It says both were widowed.

From Matthew Cook:
"Did you know those 2 married 2x? I assumed they divorced since she remarried and came back. I also discovered that yesterday as well. Something weird with those two... Her other husbands include a William Maibe, a Charles H Whelden, and George L Nottage 2x -- once in RI in 1905 and CA in 1916."

George married Maria A. Unknown Aft Jan 1910. Maria was born Abt 1852, NY; died Aft 6 Jan 1920. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

His date of birth is difficult to read in the family Bible.

In the 1860 Federal Census, this family is living at Knightsville, Cranston, Providence, Co., RI. They are next door to George & Almira Nottage, so I am assuming John is their son.

Records show that John & Rebecca had a son stillborn 29 June 1863 at Cranston (familysearch.org).

In 1870 John & Rebecca have moved to Providence, RI, in the 9th Ward, as have also George & Almira.

In the RI State Census of 1885, John S. Nottage age 60 is in East Providence.

The following exceprt is from "The Seventh Regiment of RI Volunteers in the Civil War, 1862 - 1865" by William P. Hopkins, Snow & Farmham Printers, Providence, RI, 1903; p 405 [http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rigenweb/article57.html]

JOHN S. NOTTAGE. Sergeant John Sterry Nottage was born in Norwich, Conn., July 9, 1826. He had two brothers and one or more sisters. His father was a tin and sheet iron worker and dealer in stoves. When two years of age or thereabouts, the family moved to Providence. Soon he was sent to a private school presided over by a Mrs. Hodges, and her daughter, Julia. Later he attended the public school on Summer Street, Mr. Weston teacher. When entering upon manhood he learned the carpenter's trade, but at length ventured on a three years' whaling voyage. While thus absent his mother died, which was ever a source of grief. He was wounded in the head at Spottsylvania May 13, 1864, and was sent to Portsmouth Grove Hospital, where he was retained as at attendant upon his invalid comrades until his discharge. His wife was an invalid for many years, and he was caring for her when his younger brother, Charles H. Nottage, who had been commissary sergeant of the Fourth Rhode Island, died about 1896. He had obtained little rest day or night for thirteen weeks, and his constitution became overtaxed. In May of that year he had two paralytic shocks that rendered him unconscious, and deprived him of the power of speech. It was, indeed, barely possible to swallow food. At last the third and fatal shock supervened.

John married Rebeckah Maria Beazley 31 Mar 1853, Providence, RI. Rebeckah (daughter of Edward T. Beasley and Almira Ellis King) was born Abt 1830, RI; died 22 Nov 1897. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Rebeckah may have been divorced from Ashbel when she married John S. Nottage.

Her father is identified as Edward Beasely of Cranston. Her mother was most likely Almira Ellis, who was married to Edward Beasely 28 Oct 1822 at Cranston. Almira "Beazley" also married George Longley Nottage, Sr.

Notes:

John & Rebeckah were married by George R. Darrow.

Nottage, John L., and Rebecca Moses, March 31, 1853 6: 77 Vol. 2 Marriages 1851-1870

Notes:

George L. Nottage and John Bezeley both witnessed a will in Cranston in 1848, for a singlewoman named Huldah Rose.

In the Federal Census of 1850, the family is living in Cranston: George L. Nottage 58 MA tin plate worker, Sarah L. 59 MA, Edward W. 30 MA tin plate worker, John S. 24 CT carpenter, Olive B. Tilden 22 RI, Francis P. Tilden 24 MA hatter, George N. Simmons 20 RI painter, Mary E. Simmons 19 RI, Charles H. Nottage 17 RI store clerk, Dorcas S. Nottage 29 RI, George E. Nottage 6 RI, Susan A. Nottage 4 RI, and Charity M. Nottage 2 RI.

The family is living next to the family of George W. Ellis, and near the family of John & Celia Beazely.

In 1860 the Nottage family is living at Knightsville, Cranston, Providence Co., RI. I have made an assumption that John S. is their son because he is living next door with his own family. It is possible that a daughter, Sarah L. Beazely age 21, is living in the household with her husband. Or, Sarah's husband may be the son of Almira, George's second wife.

In 1870 George L. & Almira Nottage are living at Providence, RI. Sarah L. Johnston, 29, is in the household.

According to a genealogy from Rosemarie Mello, the Nottage family are descendants of many famous personages among European royalty.

George married Sarah "Sally" Smith Stevens 27 Aug 1814, Boston, MA. Sarah was born 30 Mar 1791, Glocester, MA; died 18 Aug 1852, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

At the time of their marriage, George was of Boston and Sarah was of Cape Ann, Glocester, MA. They were married on a Saturday evening by the Rev. Doctor Baldwin.

Pastor Baldwin was "our beloved pastor of the Baptist church in Boston." He died 30 Aug 1825 in Waterville, Maine.

Notes:

An Edward Bezely witnessed the 12 Oct 1808 will of Caleb King of Providence.

The family list at findagrave.com shows 11 children for Edward, 8 of which died in infancy. They are also listed at RI Cemetery Database under the family name Bezeley.

Matthew Cook's family tree shows Edward's parents as John & Elizabeth Beazley, born c 1765-1770 RI. No source noted.

Could he be the Edward Beasley/Beazley of Franklin, MA, who married Charlotte Smith in 1809 at Bellingham?

On 20 April 1843 the Weekly Globe reported that Mr. Edward Bezely, who had been employed as a lamplighter in Providence for 17 years, was discharged from his job by the vindictive Whig authorities because he had voted for the Democratic ticket.

Edward married Almira Ellis King 28 Oct 1822, Cranston, RI. Almira was born 12 Dec 1806, Middleboro, MA; died 24 Nov 1877; was buried , North Burial Ground, Providence, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

When Almira married George, her name was Almira Bezely/Beazley. However, the family Bible mentions that her maiden name was Ellis. It appears that she was the widow of Edward and mother of Rebecca, who married John Sterry Nottage.

Jeremiah's story at findagrave.com names his mother as Almira E. King.

Notes:

BEAZLEY Edward T., of Providence, and Almira Ellis, of and at Cranston, Oct. 28, 1822

Notes:

According to the 1789 Boston City Directory, "Nathaniel Nuttage" was a house-wright.

Nathaniel may have married a second time: "In Boston, Mr. Nathaniel Nottage, aged 62, to Mrs. Harriet Witherbe, aged 29, after a courtship of 3 weeks and 6 days" (source: 23 March 1819 Rochester Telegraph). I am including this marriage here pending further confirmation.

I am not sure Nathaniel belongs to these parents (needs more research to confirm).

Nathaniel married Olive "Olle" Burrill 30 Oct 1780, Abington, MA. Olive (daughter of Thomas Burrill and Grace Gardner) was born 22 Jul 1760, Weymouth, MA; died 7 Feb 1800, Boston, MA. [Group Sheet]
