Keller, Kent, Ohio Mr. Keller, of Kent State University has been cataloging the Albion W. Tourgee Papers and when he came upon these notes he felt they should be brought to the attention of people especially interested in genealogy. There are among the Tourgee letters several references to genealogical matters. Of special interest are some of the letters to Albion W. Tourgee from Eben Tourjee, a founder of the New England Conservatory of Music, confirming their relationship. These genealogical notes may have been copied from the Tourjee family Bible, but the whereabouts of the Bible is unknown. In any case, these notes give us an accurate, if brief, account of part of the Tourjee family, some of whom came from Massachusetts to settle in Northwestern Ohio in the early part of the 19th Century. Of special interest is the fact that one of the members of the family, Albion Winegar Tourgee (he used this spelling throughout his life) became a well known novelist and political writer. He was born in 1838 in Williamsfield, Ohio. He studied at the Kingsville, Ohio, Academy and at the University of Rochester. He served in the Civil War and later settled in Greensboro, N.C. Later he returned to the North and settled in Maysville, N.Y. President McKinley appointed him United State Consul at Bordeaux, France. He died in France on May 21, 1905. These pages of the Tourjee genealogy are reproduced here as nearly as possible as they appear in the manuscript. Spelling and punctuation and the order of entry have not been changed. Any additions have been indicated by ( ) brackets. BIRTHS Voluntine Tourjee b. February 14th, 1773 Rebekah Tourjee b. January 10th, 1773 CHILDREN Rebekah Tourjee b. March 30th, 1794 Sally Tourjee b.
