SHANNON

My
Great-Grandfather Alex Shannon was
brother-in-law to John Stewart Latta.
Does anyone have anything on this part of
the family? I have one letter from
John Stewart Latta to my Great
Great-Grandfather Granville Shannon.
I would really like to develop this side of
the family, and would especially like to
find photos and material on Unity Williams
Shannon. I understand she was a
formidable person. I would like to hear
from anyone who could help me in this
matter, and thank you for your
consideration of this matter. Kind regards. |

LATTA/ WEICHT |
I
see there is a Joy
Weicht who made an
inquiry into the
Latta Family Tree.
I am researching
my family tree and
have a couple of
LATTA's and many
WEICHT's in it as
well. I was
wondering if
anyone had
information on the
Latta's from
Northern Indiana,
who married into
the KRONTZ family,
or the WEICHT's
marrying into the
KRONTZ family. On
the WEICHT's side,
I have William,
Margaretta (KRONTZ)
(b. 22 Sept 1846),
Catherine (b. 24
Mar 1846), Anna
(b. 7 Jun 1867),
Abigail, Ezra,
George, John,
William II, and
Rebecca (b. 7 May
1869) WEICHT. On
the LATTA's side,
I have Ora Lee
(male, b. 1884),
Clara Mae (KRONTZ)
(b. 1887), Clara,
George (b. 7 Dec.
1919), Mary, and
Ora Mae (female b.
30 Oct 1917). Any
information would
be Greatly
appreciated. Thank
you. |

| LATTA
SCOTTISH CLANS
|
Were the
Lattas associated with any of the Scottish
clans? Many small families affiliated
with a larger clan(s) for protection.
Are we the septs of a Scottish (or Irish)
clan? PS: I'd like to wear a family
tartan at my wedding, so I need to find out
which one(s) best represent the Latta
family. I know there is an Ayrshire
tartan, and a Caledonia tartan (supposed to
be a town in Scotland the Lattas are
affiliated with.) I didn't know if
any others might be more relevant. |

LATTY/ CARSON/
TYNER |
Paul, I got your
address from
Kathleen Carson
whom I met at the
Levi LATTY reunion
Saturday. I am
glad you are doing
LATTA research. My
mother's maiden
name was LATTY.
Her father was
Levi LATTY and his
father was Matthew
LATTY. Levi's
grandmother was
Granny TYNER
(Susie Tyner). We
know very little
of the LATTYS. We
feel there is a
connection with
the LATTA famiy in
Prairie Grove but
all is just
speculation. If
you have any
information which
would relate to my
branch, I'd
appreciate it. It
is good to know we
have so many
relatives. |

LATTO/ SPROUL |
After spending
about 10 years
looking for
LATTO's, I've
realized some
might have been
spelled LATTA.
Brothers Willilam
and Alexander came
to Philadelphia in
1822 from Donegal.
They lived in
Pennsylvania for
12 years and then
moved to
Tuscarawas County,
Ohio. I found the
date and place of
arrival in Filby's
and the rest is
oral. Almost all
have moved from
Tuscarawas County
by now. I have
very little
information about
Alexander. Both
brothers married
SPROUL sisters,
Margaret and
Elizabeth SPROUL (SPRULL).
Does someone have
information about
Alexander or other
connections. |

LATTA/ RHODES |
I
am asking for help
connecting to a
branch. John James
LATTA b. Feb. 2,
1823 m. Mary
RHODES, children
were James John
Latta b.
6/24/1855, Ann
Judson, Sophrina.
I can go from this
John LATTA to me,
but I cannot go
any farther back.
A great Aunt told
me his parents
were Samuel and
Jean NEELY. John
and Margaret had
two children, John
James and Martha
born 1835 in
Jackson County,
GA. Branch 9 has a
Margaret NEELEY
with parents of
Samuel NEELEY and
Sarah FERGUSON.
And the dates are
different. Can
anyone help me! |

LATTA/ RUSSIA |
I
have only just
discovered your
very interesting
site. My own
family has for
many years tried
to discover the
origins of the
LATTA family. I
was born in
Ayrshire in
Scotland; my
ancestors lived in
Scotland and
Ireland. One of
them was a famous
doctor, James
LATTA, who was the
company doctor for
the Guinness
Brewery in Dublin.
I myself am an
expert in Russia
and the former
Soviet Union. I
was in Moscow
recently and
discovered a
Russian lady
called Tatyana
VASILIEVNE LATTA.
She informed that
there are many
LATTAs in present
day Belarus and
southern Baltic
States, part of
the former Soviet
Union. In fact,
she said, there is
a small town in
Belarus called
Latta. So far, I
have not been able
to find it on a
map. I am trying
to find out what
movements of
people occurred
around 15- 17th
centuries
westwards from
there to Scotland
and Ireland or
elsewhere. But
somehow, I think
that this is a
very likely
explanation.

LATTA/ CORNELIUS/

Paul: I had
submitted a query
in your Issue 5
Autumn 1997 Latta
Genealogy
Newsletter.
I have never
received any
response to that
query, but feel
that so many more
researchers and
new subscribers to
your newsletter
are out there,
perhaps with some
info that may help
me that it is
worth another
query. The gist of
the query is
unchanged, with
the only
difference is that
I now have an
e-mail address.
FROM ISSUE5:
Catherine LATTA
was born in
Huntingdon Co. PA
ca 1777, died 1864
in Dresdon IA, and
is buried in Old
Dresdon Cemetery,
Powesheik Co. IA.
She married Isaac
BURNS before 1800
in Shirleysburg
area of Huntingdon
Co. PA. Is she the
daughter of John
LATTA who appears
in the 1784 and
1790 census of
Shirley Twp,
Huntingdon Co.,
PA? I have
extensive info on
four of her nine
children; two
daughters who
married CORNELIUS
brothers, a
daughter who
married Isaac
GRUSH, and her son
John BURNS, who
migrated to IA
with his mother,
his wife Eliza and
seven children. |

LATTA/ STEWART/
CUNNINGHAM |
I
believe I have
asked this before,
but it has been
sometime, and I
lost my notes. I
have a question
regarding LATTA to
which clan we
belong. I'm
getting married
next summer, and
we are considering
a Scottish wedding
where I would be
wearing a tartan.
When I did a
search online, I
came up with
STEWART. But I
think someone told
me once that LATTA
is a sept of
CUNNINGHAM. Both
clans have ties to
Ayrshire so both
are possibilities.
Any help would be
greatly
appreciated.
Thanks. |

LATTA/ MERRITS/
HAMPTOM |
I
desperately need
some help in
locating
information on the
parents of my
Great Grandmother
Verna Belle LATTA
from Southwest PA
area. I have very
little to go on.
Verna was born
April 16, 1890,
supposedly in the
Broad Top, PA
area. Her mothers
name supposedly is
Minnie MERRITS
(not sure of the
spelling) who died
1914? in Tyrone,
PA. It is believed
that Minnie
remarried after
her husband was
killed in a train
accident to Ed
HAMPTOM. Vernon's
father's name is a
mystery. Some say
his name was
William and other
say it was Joseph
Guisippi LATTA.
Sources say that
she had two
brothers, John and
Herman. One of
whom was also to
have been killed
in a train
accident at around
the age of 20.
Verna was placed
in an orphanage at
about age 12.
Sources also say
that Verna's
father died around
1899 in
Petersburg, PA. So
far I have not
been able to find
any information
that would support
what we have, or
anyone related to
this LATTA line.
If anyone could
help, it would
greatly be
appreciated. |

Mary are listed in
the 1890 Canadian

as married. Alvis
and Mary were
separated as kids
and were raised
(per lore) by
separate families
in Oklahoma. We
are searching for
proof that Mary is
sister to Alvis
LATTA. Hope you
don't mind a LATTA
question. |
