Charlotte Vrooman
ID # 2092, (1828-1891)
| Father | Adam Vrooman (1786-1854) |
| Mother | Elizabeth McCowan (1790-1869) |
| Birth | Charlotte Vrooman was born on 15 September 1828. |
| Marriage | She married Albert Haner on 28 March 1849 at Manchester, New York. Our source for Albert and Charlotte's date and place of marriage is taken from Albert's biography in the Portrait and Biographical Album of Jackson County, Iowa, 1889, a transcription of which biography is provided by the Iowa GenWeb project. There are problems with the marriage year 1849. It may be in error. The 1851 census at Moulton Township in Ontario shows daughter Jane's age as 4. If the census question was answered correctly, 'what is your age as of your next birthday', then, at best, Jane was born in 1848. The U.S. census Maquoketa, Jackson County, Iowa, reflects this, giving Jane's age as 12. Still, 1849 is the marriage year given in the biography and may even be correct, so it is shown here. One other item of note: The place of marriage for Albert and Charlotte is shown in the Jackson County, Iowa, biographical album, as Manchester, New York. This is almost certainly the Manchester that was a village and incorporated into Niagara Falls, New York, in 1848. If Albert and Charlotte were indeed married in 1848 or earlier, then the biographical album should be correct. |
| Death | She died on 15 June 1891 at age 62. |
| Burial | She was buried at Mt. Hope Cemetery, Jackson County, Iowa. |
| Note | Our initial source for the names and birth years of the children of Albert and Charlotte are the censuses of 1851 in Moulton Township, Haldimand County, Ontario, and the 1860 and 1870 censuses in Maquoketa, Jackson County, Iowa. A website, iowagravestones.org, shows a photo of the gravestone of Albert and Charlotte. Charlotte's inscription reads: Charlotte Vrooman, wife of Albert Haner, died June 15, 1891, aged 62 years, 9 mo. It should be said that a Melissa Haner is buried in Mt. Hope Cemetery in Jackson County. Her date of death is given as Jan. 12, 1873, birth information not given. This is a transcription per Find-a-Grave. The location of this stone is not given and her relationship to Albert and Charlotte, for the moment, is unknown. It is of some interest to note that Jackson County in Iowa is adjacent to Jo Daviess County in Illinois. Charlotte's uncle, George Laws Vrooman, was living in Jo Daviess County at the time Charlotte and Albert moved to Jasper County in Iowa. |
