109	[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Tree #2080, Date of Import: Oct 3, 1999] Olga was reportedly a beautiful, well-educated governess of the Emperor's children in Austria. She was very cultural and taught dance and was an artist. She had four children while living in Austria. Olga's brother, Ernest, had come to Texas to escape punishment for wounding a person in a dueling match. He liked Texas and wrote to Olga and Alfonz encouraging them to come to Texas. In 1889, when Henry Wranitzky was 6 years old and Alexander was 3 years old, Olga and Alfons and their children sailed for America. They cleared immigration at Ellis Island in New York and then sailed to Galveston. From Galveston, they took a train to Kyle. Olga was Catholic (as were many of the Wranitzky relatives who came to America). She was used to going to church in her white gloves and hat. Olga and Alfons lived on a 100-acre farm near Kyle (now known as the Walser place). Then they moved to Driftwood where they lived in tghe abondoned Johnson Institute. A few years later, Alfons purchased a farm near Uhland and they moved. When Olga's eyesight failed due t glaucoma, she accidently put kerosene on the salad instead of vinegar. When her daughter-in-law, Henry Wranitzky's wife, Ottilie, discovered them trying to eat tghe salad, they knew Olga and Alfons needed help. Olga and Alfons had a 2-room house in Uhland. At the time, Henry and Ottilie were living in rooms attached to the blacksmith shop. They added a back porch, kitchen, living room, front porch, sleeping porch and bathroom to Olga and Alfons' house and cared for them until their deaths. Ernest Lutze, Olga's brother, was the outlaw or black sheep of the family, but without him, the Wranitzky's might all still be in Europe. According to his nephew, Henry Wranitzky, Ernest Lutze ran with thugs in Europe and the United States. In many European countries, each town had its top duelists. Dueling was outlawed in many contries but not in Switzerland. For that reason, dueling matches were often fought in back rooms of bars or in Switzerland. The macho were known for their scars. Ernest Lutze seriously wounded another duelist and fled Europe by stowing away in a boat leaving Naples, Italy, and landed in Texas. He lived near Kyle and wrote to his sister and her husband of how much he liked Texas. They left Austria in l889 and sailed for America with the 4 young sons.	Olga Gertrude Lutze

111	Marsh Genealogy Author: Dwight Whitney Marsh This book contains the history and genealogy of the Marsh family of Connecticut. Bibliographic Information: Marsh, Dwight Whitney. Marsh Genealogy. Carpenter & Morehouse. Massachusetts. 1895. 1833. (???). He graduated at Yale college 1764 and the catalogue says d. in 1790. He became a lawyer and settled at Amenia, Dutchess Co., N. Y., and there two of his sons certainly and probably all his children were born. He sent his oldest son to Yale. After his death his widow was cared for at Lansing on Cayuga Lake where all her children but Silas seem to have resided, with or near her, till her death. Silas who was interested in soldiers' claims, gave to his brother John and sister Elizabeth a farm in Lansing of 200 acres on condition that they care for their mother. Thomas had a son born there and Fanny m. a Mr. Goodwin of Ludlowville in that township of Lansing. We can seem to see that widow in serene old age looking out upon many a sunset reflected in Cayuga lake, but we are sad to think that none of her many descendants seem able to tell the date of birth or marriage or death or even the maiden name of the widow of one who was an A. M. of Yale in 1780, and owes to Yale catalogues the preservation of the date of his death in 1790	Silas Marsh

His youngest son informs us, writing from New Brunswick, N. J., Aug. 5, 1888, in his 79th year: "My father Silas Marsh and my mother Elizabeth Beebe were neighbors in Dutchess Co., N. Y. They married and had 14 children, 10 of whom married and had children. My father studied law at Poughkeepsie, but his principal business was buying and selling soldiers' claims. They both died in the state of New York." His son Edward was born in Aurora, Cayuga Co., N. Y. and "probably others." His claim business explains his having the 200 acres on Cayuga lake to give for the care of his mother. He m. May 10, 1792, No. 1839.	Silas Marsh

Did he die in New Windsor, Orange, NY or MA. He had lived in NY unti l death. [Note from Mary Doughty Henschel] According to Mary Doughty Henschel, "I think Ballou was guessing when he said, as he did in giving the list of Josiah Nelson's children, that Henry lived, married, and died in Milford. It was an easy mistake to make for I was told by Uncle Henry Doughty of Durand that Henry Nelson's body was taken from Long Island to Milford for burial. Probably that was done at the desire of his father, and also because his wife's body was probably never recovered from the Hudson.	Henry Nelson

127	A short history of my Father's (Thomas Nelson) family by his daughter, Sarah Nelson Coate It was in the middle of April in the year 1801 when the Merchantman, (name forgotten) Captain Congo with six hundred passengers set sail from Belfast Ireland. Of my father's family there were my father, Thomas Nelson, and mother, Sarah (Martin) Nelson, and their seven children - viz. Joseph, Elizabeth, Sarah, Thomas, William, John and Mary and two servants. William, John, and Mary died on their passage out and were cast into the sea. My Great Grandfather on my father's side was an Englishman and lived in England, do not remember what part. He had five sons, one was an Episcopal clergyman and lived and died in England. The four other sons were nonconformist. Three came to America and one, my Grandfather John, married and came to Ireland. Of the three who came over to America, two were merchants in N. York City and it was in their vessel my father took passage for this country. The other brother located in Philadelphia or at the south (probably Yorktown, Maryland). My Grandfather John Nelson who located in Ireland had three children, two sons and a daughter. The daughter married, name was Pattison. She lived and died in Ireland. The names of the two sons were Thomas (my father) and John. My Father Thomas Nelson and his brother John had large bleaching fields together. My Father was a linen merchant and his brother John had a cotton factory, was a printer of cotton goods. My Father came to America in the year 1801, when he had been here seven years he died aged 42 years, was buried in Cambridge, N.Y. About the time of his death his brother John came from Ireland with his family into Philadelphia and settled there. Do not know how many children he had. This is the last link on my father's side I know of. My Father's Mother died in Ireland in one week after they had started for America. She was a widow, do not remember anything about his father. My Father was an Officer, an Oringman and high Mason, had almost constantly to be skirmishing the country driving the Catholics north, at times in battles. The country was in a very unsettled condition. My two Grandfathers established the first church in the town of Corniscribe. It was a Seceeder church, was called Scotch Presbyterian. It is to be supposed in that church is to be found their names and dates and births. --- Town of Corniscribe - parish of Killmore, County of Armagh.	Thomas Nelson
128	Typescript of will: Know all men by these presents that I Thomas Nelson of Malden, Mass., do make, ordain, publish and declare this instrument as and for my last will and testament, revoking any and all other wills by me heretofore made. First; it is my will that as soon as may be after my decease all my just debts and funeral charges be paid. I hereby nominate and appoint my daughter Mary R. Nelson sole executrix of this my last will and testament, and it is my desire that she not be required to give bonds of any description in Probate Court. It is also my will that she have sole control of all my real and personal property that I may have at my decease. It is my will that she have power to dispose of any part of my property whenever she deems it for the interest of all to do so; also to invest and reinvest as she may think best. I give to my daughter Mary R. Nelson, for her faithful services to the entire family, my four Boston and Albany Railroad Bonds, also my two City of Providence Water Bonds. But if I should dispose of them before my decease it is my will that she is to take six thousand dollars from my estate as her personal property. It is my will that the income from the remainder of my estate be equally divided between my three children, Mary, Eugene, and Florence. If either of my children should die and leave no issue then their portion is to be divided between the surviving ones, but if they leave issue then it must be given to that issue. It is my will that my property be equally divided when my son Eugene is thirty years old; and I hope you will all be very careful of it for your mother and myself have worked hard to save it for you. I would advise my daughters always to keep it in their own names and never risk it in any business. If all of my children should die without leaving issue or a will it is my will that what is left of my estate should go to the children of Peter J. and Eliza W. Hassard of Bangor, Maine and under no condition allow my nephew Thomas S. Nelson to have one cent of my money. In case my daughter Mary should die before my estate is divided, I hereby nominate and appoint my son Eugene as executor of this will.

Thomas Nelson (Seal) Signed, sealed, published and declared as his last will and testament, by the above named Thomas Nelson, in our presence, who in his presence, in the presence of each other and at his request, hereto subscribed our names as witnesses.

"Judge Otis is spoken of by his contemporaries as a gentleman of great integrity, a judicious and useful citizen. The following portrait was written of him soon after his death. 'He was a Christian upon principle; a public spirited and useful man, distinguished by talents of the solid, judicious and useful, rather than the brilliant and showy kind. He was of large stature; his countenance solemn and serene; frank and open in his manner; of ready wit and sound understanding. As a private individual he had the union of simple dignity and benevolent courtesy which marks the gentleman. He died universally lamented.' " (Otis Family in America, p. 72).	Joseph Otis
139	Otis Family in America, p. 87 #80 Joseph moved to Richmond, MA, where he died about 1793. It has also been reported that afterwards Whitestown, N.Y. was his home, where he likewise died about 1793, but as there is [at least at present] no town by this name in N.Y. state, this statement is open to question. He was noted for going to sleep in his wagon and other places. He sometimes fell asleep while smoking; so often breaking his pipe in this way that he procured one made of iron. It was told of him by Dr. Watson of Colchester that when at church one Sunday, the semon happening to be long than usual, he took out a doughnut, and while in the act of biting it, fell asleep. His head fell back with the cake protruding from his mouth, and he was an object of great merriment.	Joseph Otis
