In the matter of guardianship

 

FamilySearch. Clinton County, IL. 15 Sept 1851.

Thanks once again to FamilySearch Full Text Search, I've been able to continue along the path of records for the estate of Thomas Crutcher to Clinton County, Illinois. The snapshot above names David Earhart, John Albert Earhart, Elijah Earhart, and Virginia Thomas Earhart as orphan minors due proceeds from the estate of Thomas Crutcher. The same page shows Elizabeth and Thomas Perry Maxey named as orphan minors also due proceeds from the Crutcher estate. Elizabeth and Thomas were children of Mary Ann Crutcher Maxey, a daughter of Elizabeth Curtis.

FamilySearch. Clinton County, IL.

The next two records from 1854 show guardian bonds for the minor children of Elizabeth Earhart, naming them grandchildren of Anthony Crutcher of Montgomery County, Tennessee, brother of Thomas Crutcher late of Davidson County, Tennessee. The record says the children were entitled to a portion of Thomas' estate according to the Chancery Court in Nashville.

FamilySearch. Clinton County, IL. 1854.

The adjoining page shows a guardian bond filed on behalf of Elizabeth V. Maxey and her brother Thomas P. Maxey, orphan minor children of A. G. Maxey and Mary Ann Crutcher Maxey. Yet another guardian bond identifies another female descendant from Elizabeth Crutcher Earhart. Her daughter Eliza Ann Earhart married Elijah Bail. She died in January 1850, and had children Mary Ann and William Riley Bail. They're also listed as entitled to a portion of Thomas Crutcher's estate.

FamilySearch. Clinton County, IL. 5 July 1853.

These names point us back to the chancery files in Davidson County, as some of the descendants of Elizabeth Earhart were still seeking funds from the estate in 1874. According to the file, Virginia Earhart married James F. Taylor, and moved from Illinois to Montana, and later to Ogden, Utah.

The trail of maternal line descendants from Frances Carter Curtis shifts to Sarah Crutcher Rogers, who moved with her family to Missouri. I'll pick this up in the next post.

Champions

 

Indiana University. 19 Jan 2026.

The Indiana University football team completed a historic run last night, beating the Miami Hurricanes 27-21 for the school's first college football national championship. The team finished the season unbeaten, 16-0. This was a miracle finish long suffering Hoosier fans could never have imagined a few years ago.

Thomas' legacy to education

 

Tri-Weekly Nashville Union. 12 Mar 1844.

Yesterday I covered the lengthy chancery case involving the Crutcher family. Before I continue down the trail of descendants of Frances Carter Curtis, I have a post on Thomas Crutcher and his lasting impact on education in Nashville, Tennessee. When Thomas died in 1844, he was the President of the Nashville Female Academy. Thomas did not have children of his own, it appears that he gave decades of service and funding to the academy. Shortly after his death, the academy board published a set of resolutions honoring Thomas for his service.

A daughter of one of the founders of the academy built Belmont Mansion in Nashville, and this later became Belmont University. The resolutions honoring Thomas are below.

Crutcher v Crutcher

FamilySearch. Davidson County, TN. 1861.

Chancery cases can be a great resource for unraveling a complicated family tree. An example is Crutcher v Crutcher, which found its way to the Tennessee Supreme Court in 1850. The citation is 11 Humphrey 377 (or 30 Tenn 377), although I haven't yet found a full copy of the decision. This case provides a helpful description of the extended Crutcher family, and I found this using FamilySearch Full Text search.

FamilySearch. Davidson County, TN court records.

The purpose of this journey down the records from Frances Carter Curtis has been to identify possible maternal line descendants who could potentially take a mtDNA test and help resolve the mystery of the wives of John Carter. I've thankfully been joined in this hunt by distant cousin and fellow blogger Jacqi Stevens of A Family Tapestry.

The case is part of a complex set involving the Crutcher siblings, particularly the estate of Thomas Crutcher. He was a one-time mayor of Nashville in 1819, and importantly the executor of the will of Frances Carter Curtis. For our purposes the Crutcher case helpfully names the heirs of Thomas' brother Anthony and sister-in-law Elizabeth Curtis Crutcher, including the states of residence for those who left Tennessee. This is an essential piece of the puzzle, connecting several of the daughter lines descending from Frances Carter Curtis into the era of census records.

Daily Nashville Patriot. 19 Oct 1858.

James Crutcher of Hardin County, Kentucky brought a suit in Davidson County Court stating that John Crutcher owed him $1262. John did not own property in Kentucky, but he did in Tennessee, and also had an interest in the estate of his brother Thomas who had died without heirs and an unsigned will in Davidson County in 1844. Thomas had a sizeable estate of his own, worth about $60,000 in 1844, which is about $2.5 million or more today. James challenged the validity of the will, noting that John Crutcher and Thomas' siblings would be due to inherit some of the funds, and those would be payable to James. In his complaint, James described the descendants of his brothers and sisters, which is incredibly useful for our efforts today.

FamilySearch. Davidson County, TN.

According to the complaint, Elizabeth Crutcher Earhart and her husband John, and her sister Mary Crutcher Maxey and husband Albert, had moved to Illinois. I was able to trace them to Clinton County, Illinois, where John Earhart became Justice of the Peace. Another daughter of Elizabeth Curtis Crutcher, Sarah, had moved with her husband Washington Rogers, to Missouri. It looks like she lived into the 1880s and had at least five daughters, so her path is a promising one for maternal line descendants from Frances Carter Curtis.

James Crutcher died while the case was progressing through the courts, and his suit was revived by Thomas S. Crutcher, executor of his estate. After a lengthy series of proceedings up and down the Tennessee court system, it looks like James prevailed in the case, and funds were paid out to the heirs between 1858-1861. The image below is important for our pursuit going forward.

A Deed of Gift

In February 1807, Mary Curtis provided a deed of gift to her niece, Mary C. Crutcher. In the same record, she also named the other children of her brother-in-law Anthony Crutcher and his wife Elizabeth Curtis Crutcher. When viewing the typed version of this record on Ancestry, as part of the Tennessee Wills collection, the document is listed as a probate file, and gives an inferred death date for Mary as 1807. But this is not a probate document, it is a deed of gift, similar to the slave transaction made in an earlier record from her grandfather John Carter's estate in 1784.

Viewing the original handwritten record on FamilySearch as part of the Montgomery County, Tennessee Will Books 1795-1825 gives a different perspective.

FamilySearch. Montgomery County, TN. 23 Feb 1807.

Mary Curtis' deed of gift was a slave girl named Nancy (a child of Poll or Polly), and all her household furniture, clothing, and all her other goods and chattels, except for three slaves who were to be sold and proceeds divided equally among the other children of her sister and brother-in-law: William, Carter, Thomas, George, Fanny, Patsy, Elizabeth and Sally Crutcher. Patsy and Elizabeth Crutcher were later named as beneficiaries in the will of their grandmother Frances Carter Curtis in 1827.

A later document in the Montgomery County Court minutes in July 1807 shows this was a deed of gift, and not a will.

FamilySearch. Montgomery County, TN. 15 Jul 1807.

On 7 August 1811, William Curtis signed a marriage record for his sister Mary Curtis to Daniel Dunnivant in Davidson County, Tennessee. Mary is listed as Molly Dunnivant in the will of Frances Curtis in 1827.

FamilySearch. Davidson County, TN. 7 Aug 1811.

 

The names fall into place

Reviewing the 1827 will of Frances Curtis, the names of beneficiaries seem to fall into place. Frances first provides for her granddaughters Fanny and Patsy, of son William Curtis. She bequeaths two slaves, Henry (15) and Monterville (10). Next she gives to Thomas Crutcher, brother of her son-in-law Anthony Crutcher. Anthony had married Frances' daughter Elizabeth Curtis. Frances asked Thomas to be her executor, and to hold in trust a slave girl named Hagar for the benefit of Frances' daughter Molly Dunnivant. Molly (also called Mary) wed Daniel Dunnivant in Davidson County, Tennessee on 7 August 1811.

Next Frances gave another slave girl named Pealus to Thomas to hold in trust for Frances' granddaughter Patsy (Martha) Crutcher Osborn, wife of Alfred Osborn. Frances then gave a bed and furniture to her son William, a bed and furniture to Patsy Osborn, and a bed and furniture to granddaughter Betsy Crutcher Earhart. Patsy and Betsy were daughters of Elizabeth Curtis (d. 1810) and Anthony Crutcher (d. 1815).

Frances also gave to Frankey, a free woman of color who had been her slave, $100.

Frances asked that the rest of her property be equally divided among Molly Dunnivant, William Curtis, Patsy Osborn, and Betsy Earhart.

The will was produced in Davidson County Court in October 1827.

Henry and Monterville were ordered to be sold in 1832. It is possible they were brothers.

FamilySearch. Davidson County, TN. 1832.

Monterville was sold on 9 April 1841 for $650 to the firm of Anderson & Hamilton.

The will of Frances Carter Curtis

 

FamilySearch. Davidson County, TN. 16 Feb 1827.

When I previously looked into Frances Carter Curtis, daughter of John Carter, I found a will for her husband Rice Curtis 3rd in Davidson County, Tennessee in 1798. It looks like Frances survived her husband Rice by almost 29 years, living in what became Nashville, Tennessee. The record that makes me think this will is hers, is an indenture with Frances' son George B. Curtis in Davidson County in 1804. The second half of Frances' will from 1827 is below.

There's more to do to unpack the details in this will. Very clearly from the first division of property Frances was an enslaver, which is not a surprise given the earlier documents involving the records from the estate of Frances' father John Carter.

John Carter in 1743

 

Made in Ideogram. John Carter. Spotsylvania, Virginia, 1743.

As far as I know, there are no surviving portraits of John Carter (1715-1783). In 1743, John was a recently married man (for the second time), with four young children, about 28 years old. During the year of 1743 he completed two land purchases in Spotsylvania County, Virginia for 290 acres. The imagined scene above shows John surveying the new land in the vast forests of the area.

There is a great resource called Colonial Virginia Portraits, which has a shortcut to portraits for extended members of Carter families. While we're still looking for maternal descendants from John Carter and his various wives, I'm using Ideogram to help visualize the time in which John and his family lived.

Riding in the future now

In Los Angeles the white Waymo autonomous taxis are now a common sight on the roads, at least in the part of West LA where I tend to be when I'm in the city. I rode in one for the first time last September, and again a few times last week while visiting the LA office. On this trip I remembered to snap a shot from the back seat, showing the driverless car taking me from Santa Monica. It's a bit surreal riding in a Waymo, listening to my own Spotify account through the speakers as it takes a not-direct but safe and serviceable route to my destinations. It does feel like riding in the future.

Returning to the tangled mess

 

Library of Virginia. Marshall v Sutton, 1818.

Back in February 2024, I wrote about a complicated mess of chancery cases from the Library of Virginia records involving the descendants of John Carter (1715-1783). With distant cousin Jacqi Stevens of A Family Tapestry diving back into the Carter research, it is time to revisit the chancery files and see if we can make more progress on the questions surrounding the wives of John Carter.

I'm also hoping the Carter Society of Virginia may have some new information. The society is celebrating its 25th anniversary in September 2026.

Generation of Connection

One year ago I shared a set of research questions, including a question for the WATO course on YourDNAGuide to determine the generation of connection with a set of mystery matches from the Leyva family. After a lot of digging into shared matches of matches, building floating trees, talking through the case with Jarrett Ross (the Geneavlogger on YouTube), and comparing the matches using WATO on DNAPainter, I think we now have a hypothesis for the generation of connection with this family.

When talking it through, it seemed like the amounts in common were stronger with the Portillo branch of cousin MC, who is descended from Alejandro Portillo.

I caution this is just a hypothesis based on the tool and it has not been verified through other records, which may not exist. Using shared matches of matches in common between CH and my Mom on Ancestry, I plugged those centimorgan amounts into a tree and generated hypotheses. Thanks again to Jarrett for cleaning up my first attempt to generate results from WATO. Far and away the highest ranking among the hypotheses was #5, that CH is the grandchild of Alejandro through an unknown half-sibling.  This was six times as likely as the next hypothesis. As we know CH was the daughter of Trinidad Leyva, according to this result the most likely generation of connection is that we share a common ancestor in Manuel Portillo (1830-1880).

This result collides with what the paper trail says about Trinidad's mother, Flora. So far, there's nothing I've seen to place Alejandro in Sinaloa or Flora in Guaymas or Hermosillo in March/April 1891, but it was feasible and there's a big gap in Alejandro's timeline. In later years, Alejandro, Flora and Trinidad were working in the cotton fields of Glendale, Arizona around the same time, and also lived in Nogales at the same time, but this does not directly connect them.

Again, there's more to do before declaring this the most likely answer. I still need to try to separate matches descending from either Escolastico Leyva's side or Flora's. There's also another set of shared matches pointing to an earlier Portillo who may have been a sister of Manuel Portillo Sr.

Why I have spent so much time trying to place these mystery matches into the tree? I currently do not have a strong understanding of my Portillo line beyond Manuel Sr. The Leyva matches, and at least two other families have a connection to the Portillos through different paths, and I am hoping this research will help unlock further layers to the Portillo story in Mexico (and perhaps earlier to Spain or Portugal).

On to the championship

 

Indiana University. 9 Jan 2026.

As a long time Hoosier fan, three years ago I never could have imagined the historic run the team has displayed since Coach Cignetti's arrival in Bloomington. Last night, IU advanced to the College Football Playoff National Championship game, by dominating the Oregon Ducks in Atlanta 56-22. The number one Hoosiers are now 15-0, and head to Miami to play the University of Miami Hurricanes (13-2) on 19 January.

There are so many fun storylines with the Hoosiers, from the unheralded players who followed Cignetti from James Madison University to IU, quarterback Fernando Mendoza's Heisman season and journey with younger brother & IU backup QB Alberto Mendoza. The Mendoza brothers grew up a mile from the Miami campus and now play in a homecoming game for the national championship. The Hoosiers play an exciting, balanced style game with a solid defense.

We'll be watching from home, cheering on the team to close out the season. 

RootsTech 2026 schedule

The schedule for RootsTech 2026 is now available on the conference website. Unlike last year, I'll be following RootsTech online and on a delay this year as my own meeting will be happening at the same time in Mumbai, India. Maybe the timing will work for 2027's edition of RootsTech to be back in person.

While the timing of some sessions may change, for me being online only, I've gone ahead and selected 36 sessions that I definitely want to try to watch (or view later after I'm back from India). I'm not surprised to see many sessions on artificial intelligence and genealogy, and DNA, but there does seem to be a trend of interesting sessions focused on German research, Mexico/Latin America research, and case studies. I am also hoping some of the sessions that are currently listed as in-person only might be available on a delay for online viewing through the RootsTech platform.

A gap in the timeline

 

Ancestry. Ures, Sonora. 30 Aug 1880.

Manuel Portillo Sr died in the town of Ures, Sonora, Mexico in August 1880. According to the civil registration record above, his wife Maria Bernal was from (or living in) Hermosillo. My 2nd-great-grandfather Manuel Portillo Jr would have been about 21 at that time, and would have been expected to take on support for the surviving family. His younger brother Alejandro would have been almost 14 years old.

The next record I have for Alejandro is the baptism of daughter Maria Luisa Portillo in Hermosillo listing her birth date as 14 April 1907. By then, Alejandro was 41. That's a huge gap in time between Alejandro's own birth record from 1866, and his next appearance in the records (or at least the ones currently available to me).

The Sonora Railway line to Nogales opened in 1882, creating a connection from the US border to the Mexican port of Guaymas, Sonora. Another rail connection linked Guaymas to Culiacan, Sinaloa along Mexico's western coast. Trade was significant between Guaymas and Mazatlan, Sinaloa by sea, and it is possible workers would have moved between the two ports, or between Hermosillo, Culiacan and Mazatlan at this time. In 1888, there was a steam railway linking Culiacan to the port of Altata, Sinaloa, and this would have been a stop on the route north to Guaymas.

Google Maps.

I have another post to follow describing the hypotheses based on the WATO results with Jarrett using the tools at DNAPainter, before I shift to another research question for a few weeks. There's also another Portillo branch or two to cover that links into the Leyva DNA matches.

More pieces of the puzzle

 

Arizona Republic, 10 Feb 1921.

Cotton is historically important in Arizona and has long been a key product for the state. Pima cotton is a particular varietal, and the name of Pima County (where Tucson is located). The clipping from the article above describes complications in 1921 between Arizona cotton growers, who relied on Mexican labor to pick cotton, and labor groups supporting the workers to ensure proper pay and transportation for their efforts. The article notes the involvement of the Latin protective league, the Liga Protectora Latina, in the discussions between the cotton growers association, Mexican labor groups in Nogales, and the Mexican government. 

Yesterday I wrote about Alejandro Portillo and his work as a laborer for Salt Valley cotton growers in 1918. He was among the many Mexican laborers working for cotton growers at this time. From the records it also looks like Flora Escobar and daughter Trinidad Leyva were working in Glendale, Arizona in 1920 through the Arizona Cotton Growers Association. Flora appears on a manifest from 4 October 1922 (source FamilySearch) to enter the US with her daughter Trinidad, and grandchildren Inez and Ignacio (who are curiously listed in the manifest as Inez and Ignacio Silva). The record confirms they were in Phoenix between 26 July 1920 and 22 January 1921, and their passage was paid by the Arizona Cotton Growers Association.

FamilySearch. 4 Oct 1922.

Trinidad delivered a daughter, Rosalva, in Culiacan, Sinaloa, in September 1921. The family, including mother Flora, returned to Phoenix again in September 1923. There are some mispellings (and mis-entries) on the names in these records. I'm not clear why Flora is listed as Flora Escobar vda Silva (widow of Silva) in the 1922 record, but I have figured out where the Silva name comes from. This was also a mystery in Trinidad's 1941 border crossing record, where she listed her cousin Amalia Silva as a contact.

Flora's sister, Fidencia Escobar, married Jose Silva. Fidencia's son Jose listed Aunt Flora Escobar as a contact in his border crossing record from 1930.

In the 1930 US Census, Jose and his mother Fidencia are living next door to sister Amalia, her husband Jesus Bayardo, and their children in Indio, Riverside County, California. This gives us a better picture of Flora's family connections living in California and more names to check against the border crossing manifests. While Coachella, California is well known today for music festivals, in the 1930s this valley was known for its date farming, grapes, other fruits, vegetables and cotton. The Escobars were working as farm laborers in Coachella.

At some point they moved to Mexico and the fluid border area around Mexicali. Fidencia crossed into the US in 1940 and named her daughter Amalia Escobar de Ballardo (Bayardo) as her contact in Mexicali, Mexico. This is near area where Trinidad and her children were living in Calexico, California, just over the border.

Ancestry. 1940 US Census. Calexico, CA.

A laborer's ID card

 

FamilySearch. 1918.

Here's another migration record from FamilySearch, showing the alien agricultural laborer's identification card for Alejandro Portillo. This was used to cross the border at Nogales, Arizona in 1918. The reverse shows this card was stamped by the Salt River Valley Egyptian Cotton Growers Association. This is part of the Arizona Cotton Growers Association, which still exists today.

Another card from the set (see above) shows Alejandro as 52 years old in 1918, which would match the birth year 1866 from the Sonoran records. It isn't clear if Alejandro worked on cotton fields associated with Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, but this article includes some photos and history on cotton production in the same area where Alejandro could have worked.

Revisiting Alejandro

 

FamilySearch. Nogales Manifest of Alien Arrivals.

Back in COVID-era April 2020 I dove into the family connections for cousin MC and her ancestor Teodoro Alejandro Portillo. DNA matches in common between MC, my Mom and the mystery Leyva matches have me looking again at Alejandro and floating Portillo branches who may link with my 3rd-great-grandfather Manuel Portillo (1830-1880). The record above comes from FamilySearch and their collection of Nogales, Arizona Manifests of Alien Arrivals, 1905-1952. The indexing states this is from 1924, which would put Alejandro as born about 1864. This is pretty close to Alejandro's known birth year of 1866.

The reverse side of the card includes a photo and a signature.

Alejandro Portillo. 

The record states Alejandro was crossing at Nogales daily for business, and his nearest relative or friend in Mexico was Eduardo Soto of Sonora Bank in Nogales.

Expert Assistance

 

From Jarrett's Ask Me Anything, 2 Jan 2026. 

Sometimes it's useful to have some focused discussion with an expert to look at research questions from a different perspective. Yesterday I had a consultation with Jarrett Ross, who is a well known genealogy speaker at events and hosts a popular YouTube channel where he's known as the Geneavlogger. I met Jarrett at RootsTech last March and have been a long time viewer of the channel. When he began offering consultations, I scheduled one to concentrate on my mystery Leyva matches on our Mexican side of the tree.

Huge thanks to Jarrett for listening and providing some very useful next steps. I certainly have some homework to build out a WATO tree and test a theory of how these Leyvas may connect to us. I also need to look at other Portillos in the Sonoran records. There are definitely signs of mystery Portillos in the shared matches of matches with CH and my Mom, and I am not yet clear about how these people connect to my own 3x-great-grandfather Manuel Portillo.

The conversation helped confirm I am on the right track with my approach to isolate to Trinidad, look deeper into her parents Escolastico and Flora, and try to see if the connection is on Trinidad's paternal or maternal line. Given the amount of centimorgans shared with CH and the shared matches in common pointing to a Portillo connection, this question feels like it can be resolved, but it won't be easy.

Jarrett hosts a weekly Ask Me Anything live on his YouTube channel on Fridays at 4pm Eastern, and he's also taking individual consultations. I highly recommend both.

Research Progress January 2026

It's the second of the month and time for an update on my research questions. I wrote last month that the questions are changing a bit as we add a new mtDNA tester to the mix. Our daughter's test results will likely arrive in late February/early March. I've reduced some of the questions, postponed others to a future list, and added some new ones for Allison's side of the tree.

My Paternal Side

1 - I'm still looking for the parents of my 3rd-great-grandmother Bridget, and this question will get more attention in the second half of March, after RootsTech and my meeting in India ends.

2 - Analyzing mtDNA connections in the maternal line path of Sarah Westall and Elizabeth Thornhill Jones. Again, this is dependent on cousin Lynn.

3 - Jones YDNA. I'm hopeful I'll locate another tester to push our Jones line further back in time.

My Maternal Side

1 - Identifying the link between the Leyva mystery matches and my Mexican side of tree. Over the holiday break I've been digging into the shared matches of matches between my Mom's results and CH. I think resolving this question will also help fill in missing ancestors on my Portillo branch. I'm trying something new this Saturday with virtual guided consultation with an expert. More to follow soon. 

2 - Analyzing mtDNA matches in the maternal line path of Maria Jesus Vasquez.

3 - Resolving descendancy from the daughters of John Carter (1715-1783). For this one, I'm interested in hearing what the Carter Society may have, and collaborating with cousin Jacqi Stevens of A Family Tapestry.

4 - Campuzano YDNA. I upgraded cousin Greg's kit to Big Y, so now we're awaiting updated results that may allow us to follow the Campuzano paternal line back to Spain. As I'll be heading to Spain this summer, I'm super interested to see the results.

5 - xDNA analysis using FTDNA's tools.

Allison's Side

1 - Awaiting mtDNA results for the maternal line path to Dorothea Sophia Gagelmann.

2 - Analyzing Sophia's FamilyFinder results on FTDNA and looking into xDNA for this branch of the tree.
