Jerry Eakle found an 1881 Canadian Census record in which they are recorded as German. The recording of his age is in error also - born in 1831, he was 50 at the time of this census. Jerry attributes the error in their nationality to their location: Hessian Line, Annapolis, Nova Scotia.

"Born in Clements, Mar. 3, 1833; married Eliza H.

Based on the location of his marriage to Adelia or Adela Parker, they first lived in Montevideo, Uruguay and only later moved to Buenos Aires.

Two additional records exist documenting the family: an obituary of Adelia or Adela Parker's sister, Sophia, summarized from a collection of obituaries published in "The Standard", one of the largest English newspaper in Buenos Aires, records her dying at the home of her sister, Mrs. Wallace Chute in late December 1887 or early January 1898.

"Parker, Sophia 47 wife of Dr Charles Small; died at the residence of her sister Mrs Wallace Chute, calle Paran� 673; she was the youngest daughter of William Parker and grand-daughter of Admiral William Parker of the Brazilian Navy; she had a daughter Elvira; her sister married Dr Kimball; obituary The Standard 2 Jan 1888."

Two notes on the obituary: although Lyman was known for his extensive landholdings and agricultural-based wealth, the residence, at least at this time, was in Buenos Aires. A map giving the names of all the principal landowners against their holdings from 1895-1898 lists "L.W. Chute" as one of the largest landowners. Finally, Adela has long been believed to be the daughter of Admiral Parker; this obituary would make her his grand-daughter.

It is also not clear from this summary who in fact married "Dr. Kimball". It seems that Adelia/Adela and Sophia may have had a third sister.

"On many visits to a friend's estancia house in recent years, I admired a map she had hanging on the wall of the farm office. Recently I had the opportunity to copy down the details that interested me. The title of the map was:

"Plano de la Region Limitrofe de las Provincias de Santa Fe, C�rdoba y Buenos Aires Dated: Rosario 1895/8 Construido por agrimensor Rodolfo A Warner."

In other words this was a map of the central area of the Argentine pampas, giving the names of all the principal landowners against their holdings, including many English surnames. I abstracted them by districts named after the nearby town, as follows:

(Provincia de Buenos Aires)

"I am researching a home in Bear River that I believe was owned by William Crouse and Harriett (Harris) Crouse his wife. They were married about 1835 and I presume he was the William Crouse that was born to John Crouse and Sarah (Beeler) Crouse in 1812. The house is now owned by Donald Rice and it has always believe d to have been a Miller house but I see no sign of that yet. I have an 1874 deed that is from the heirs of William Crouse to William Sutcliff Crouse. William Sutcliffe Crouse owned the home until 1927 before selling it to the Soldiers Settlement Board. The heirs of the former William Crouse were as follows: Harriett Crouse (widow); Harriet Morgan Crouse; George and Louise Chute; H.W. and Maria Nicholl; William and Annie Dunn. I would like info on the 2 Crouse gentlemen. I may be off track with this home but it seems to be right."
