Possible connection between branches No. 41 and 45.
Mrs. Charles A. Wells, branch No. 45, says that William Latta, the boat builder, branch
No. 41, is her uncle, and that Imogene Latta, his daughter, his her cousin.
Harry C. Latta, branch No. 45, says that William Latta, the boat builder, is his uncle.
Mrs. Emma Daugherty, granddaughter of John W. Latta, branch No. 45, says that
Imogene Latta, daughter of William Latta, the boat builder, branch No. 41, is her cousin. That when she was christened her mother asked the minister to name her Imogene, but the minister thought she said Emma Jean, so she was named Emma Jean.
Miss Elmora Hagerty, granddaughter of Robert J. Latta, branch No. 45, said that the
names of the children of William Latta, father of the boat builder, William Latta, branch No. 41, had the same names as, the brothers and sister of Robert J. Latta, branch No. 45.
This would indicate that branches Nos. 41 and 45 were the same. But the proof I lack is
the names of the mothers of the children of William Latta, the father of Robert J. Latta, branch No 45. William has been married more than one time.
For further proof see my Loose Leaf Book for Possible connections. Also next page.
Connection between branches 41 and 45. Mrs. Chester, branch 45, family 4, told a friend that her grandfather, William Latta, lived in the old brick house in Roscoe, Pa. and she often visited him there with his family, during the Civil War, and that some of the children of William came home there from the war with a furlough.
Miss Imogene Latta, branch No. 41, wrote that her grandfather, William Latta, built and
lived in the old brick house at Roscoe, Pa. It must have been at the same time that Mrs. Chester's grandfather lived there. Miss Imogene Latta was mistaken about her grandfather building the old brick house. It was built by a Quaker named Griffith.
The heads of both branches lived in Ireland, and their two sons, both by the name of
William and Alexander, came to America and their descendants lived in the same place at the same time. They lived on Monongahela, California, Roscoe, McKeesport, etc., all in
Pennsylvania.
The sons of William Latta, branch No. 41, had the same names as the sons of William
Latta, branch No. 45, except Ostrander and James.
It looks as if the key to this situation is in the name or names of the wife or wives of
William Latta, brother of Ostrander Latta, branch No. 45. If this William Latta had the same wives as William Latta (2) branch 41, then it would unite the two branches.
