Back to F. Danahy Georger, Sr.
and Bernice M. Chute Georger.
Notes on F. Danahy Georger, Sr. and Bernice M. Chute Georger:
According to GMC, the couple had 5 children, but so far I've only found record of one
F. Danahy Georger, Jr., so more research needs to be done on this family. Census records indicate
that the family originated in Germany, so the name was undoubtedly originally "Geörger".
Son F. Danahy Georger Jr. was quoted in a article about the resurrection of the Indian Motorcycle
Company, in 2000:
"Indian Motorcycle Co. has been resurrected as a private company and is back in business in
Gilroy, Calif., making motorcycles and lining up dealers to sell them. The Buffalo area's first
Indian Motorcycle franchise -- one of 190 in the nation -- has been awarded to Dan Georger
Mitsubishi, an Amherst automobile dealer at 7420 Transit Road. "Indian Motorcycle, which was
introduced in 1901, is the oldest motorcycle brand name in the country and they are going
after Harley," says F. Danahy Georger Jr., president of Dan Georger Motor Sales Inc. Georger
owns and operates the auto dealership and Indian Motorcycle Williamsville, the new franchise."

Frank P. Georger, father of F. Danahy Georger, Sr., may have been the Frank Georger who was
a trustee of the Buffalo Savings Bank sometime between 1893 and 1897.

Back to Edward Van Daam
and Janet M. Chute Van Daam.
Notes on Edward Van Daam and Janet M. Chute Van Daam:
According to GMC, this family had four children, of whom one is presently known.
I'm not sure yet where GMC obtained the name "Joseph M." - "Joseph William" is listed on
the 1930 - Census Record. The name "Albert" is confusing; James Chute and Anna Kerwin did
have a son named James Albert Chute who would have been Joseph William's brother, and
it may have been possible that "James Albert Chute" was James Chute's full name.
"My fiancee's father is Edward Peter Van Daam whose father was Edward Van Daam married to
Janet Chute born circa 1916 in New York. You have his name as Vendaam so that could be changed.
Her father you have as Joseph M. Chute I have as Joseph William Chute bom circa 1887 from an
ancestry paper Peter did when he was 14. He was married to Lillian M. Haugh. His parents as I
have it were Albert Chute and Anna Curwin. You have James Chute and Anna Kerwin. To compound
the problem beyond Albert (James?) Chute there is a footnote that they were decended from
Tuites. Irish folks who changed their name."

Notes on Robert John Chute, Mary Heffernan Chute and Elizabeth Higgins
Chute:
GMC: "Came to Canada from Ireland in 1862; lived in Strathroy, Middlesex County, Canada
two years, then to Pennsylvania, and then to Cleveland, Ohio."
Notes from Susan Henrick Godley: "The 1870 Cleveland Directory shows Robert Chute residing at 10 Broadway Ext. and his
occupation was a "cooper". Mrs. Elizabeth Chute is listed in the same directory with the profession of dressmaker at the
10 Broadway Ext. address. The 1880 census shows residence on Broadway & Robert as a "cooper", Elizabeth is "keeping
house". The 1890 Cleveland Directory shows Robert Chute at 143 Broadway & he was retired, Elizabeth is "keeping house".
Was living at 597 Scranton Ave when he died.
Robert's obituary reads "Monday, July 30 at 7pm Robert Chute aged 64 years. Funeral from
residence No. 597 Scranton Ave (Cleveland) Wednesday August 1st at 3pm sun time. Titusville
Pa. papers please copy. Robert was killed in a train accident. He lost both legs in the
accident. Robert owned a cooperage in Pittsburgh Pa. that he sold to John D. Rockefeller.
After the sale he moved back to Cleveland and managed a plant for J.D. Rockefeller."
Note that in the 1880 Census, it is almost certain that the birthplace for most of the
children is wrong, as it is unlikely that the family moved to Ohio from Pennsylvania and
then returned to Pennsylvania to have their children. Also, in all cases, there is a conflict
between the birthplace for their father: his entry lists it as Ohio, while other entries list
his birthplace as Ireland (along with it being named as the birthplace of his eldest daughter
Margaret). If the family did emigrate in 1862, his birthplace would have been Ireland.

William A. and Flora B. Aker (Chute) Sanford. Photo courtesy of the Johnson Family Tree on Ancestry.com |
The ancestry of the Nelson/Nelson Hardy Chute branch is not known at this time. The details collected by George M. Chute, Jr. appear to have been provided by Jack Sanford
and written down on an index card, and not provided by the family directly, as Nelson Chute's wife Flora B. Aker Chute married William A. Sanford after their divorce in
approximately 1914. Written on the index card:
Nelson Hardy, Jr. (in Tujunga, Calif., 1958, phone book), born March 26, 1912 in Lowell. 179 Hale, Lowell. Mar. Jan 24, 1931 to Beverly June Hill (wrote J. Sanford

Charlotte m. Kramer. Nelson & Flora also had Phyllis, b. Apr. 11, 1911. Married Harold Fred Wilkins. Children: Pearl, Ruth, Arnold and Patricia.
Another Family Genealogical Database, the Johnson Family Tree, identifies Flora's first husband as a "Shute". It is not yet known whether the branch legitimately
originated as "Shute"s, or whether the spelling is incorrect.
