Life History

Notes

• Israel is reported in several different family genealogies ofdifferent lineages that intersect with the Dumont line.  In 1850, wefind him for the first time by name in the census.  He is in thehousehold of his widowed mother Felicity/Félicité and an older brotherRegis/Reges.  His name is misspelt here and in 1870, but we can tellwhat is meant.
  
  1850 Federal Census, Desha County, Arkansas, 1 November, ChesterTownship, page 71 (141), Hse/Fam #268
  Felicita [Félicité] Dumond 42 F [No occupation listed] $1500 RealEstate  born Arkansas
  Ragios [? maybe Ragies = Regis] Dumond 21 M born Arkansas
  Isreal Dumond 19 M born Arkansas
  
  In 1860, Israel is listed as A Dumond.  He is living next door to hismother Félicité (written in the census as Felicita).  I was able toidentify him with the help of his entry in the Noonan-Howarthgenealogy, which includes this line of Dumonds(http://trees.ancestry.com/pt/person.aspx?tid=1008393&pid=-2016416830&ftm=1).  Patrick Noonan reports that Israel was married to ElizabethNarcissa White in 1855.  The wife of A Dumond in 1860 is Narcissa.
  
  1860 Federal Census, Desha County, Arkansas, 2 August, ChesterTownship, PO Redfork, page 13 (65), Hse/Fam #96
  A Dumond 28 M Planter born Arkansas
  Narcissa Dumond 25 F Housekeeper born Tennessee
  Sarah Dumond 2 F born Arkansas
  Louis Dumond 3 M born Arkansas
  
  Israel Dumond's wife here is Elizabeth Narcissa White, married in1855, acording to Patrick Noonan.  Several genealogies report thatIsrael Dumond had two wives.  Narcissa died sometime after the birthof Robert, born in 1860.  When she died, Israel married Sarah EFrazier 25 Sep 1865.  But the 1870 census reports a third wife namedSerina (Serena?).
  
  1870 Federal Census, Desha County, Arkansas, 11 August, ChesterTownship, PO Chester, page 5 (477), Hse/Fam #48
  Du Mond, Isriel  38 M W Farmer born Arkansas  father and mother offoreign birth  cannot read or write
  Du Mond, Serina A 28 F W Keeping House born Tennessee can read, cannotwrite
  Du Mond, Sarah R (P?)  12 F W born Arkansas  cannot read or write
  Du Mond, Robert F 10 M W born Arkansas  cannot read or write
  Du Mond, Nancy A 7 months F W  born Arkansas Oct 1869
  Allen, Charles 8 M W At Home born Arkansas [literacy not noted]
  Allen, Edward 4  M W   born Arkansas
  
  In the 1870 census, the wife of Israel is Serina A, and there are twochildren names Allen in the household.  This appears to be a widow andher two children from the marriage to a man named Allen.  The youngerAllen child, Edward, is 4, meaning he was born to Mr Allen and Serinain 1866, a year after the reported marriage of Israel to SarahFrazier.
  
  This Serina seems, then to be a different person from the SarahFrazier reported as Israel's second wife.  It appears that Sarah diedbefore the 1870 census, with no children.  No children appear whichcould be the children of Sarah.  Robert F is reported as age 10, soborn in 1860-61, before Israel married Sarah (1865).  Louis, who wasage 3 in 1860 (a son of Narcissa), does not appear in 1870, and itappears that Robert is a different child.  Louis must have died beforethe 1870 census.
  
  This census also reports a 7-month old Nancy A Dumond, and her monthof birth is given as October 1870.  This would be the first child ofIsrael and Serina.  Thus they were married probably in 1869, possibleJanuary 1870.  Note, however, that 7 months old does not match October1869!  It should be 9 months old or born in January 1870.
