OK so this lady was just about the biggest mystery in the land of big mysteries. Her whole marriage was a guess. Time for denoument:
Charles Stewart 1775-1846 (grandfather immigrant from Donegal) lived in Jersey Shore PA, left will
m 1812 Mary McCormick 1790-1880 (d California)
. 1 Frances Ann Stewart 1825-92 m (Judge) John McDowell McKinney of Washington
lost daughter Rosetta Stuart Cowen McKinney age 8 in 1862 (big clue)
daughter Mary marries a Prussian widower, Mielatz in Manhattan 1903
. 2 Rosetta Fleming Stewart 1823-1860
first wife of John Fisk Cowan 1816 Mass.- 1872 Englewood NJ, gives land to Ole Bull a Norwegian violinist
he remarries to Rosetta's sister Josephine living with the family 1860 census (big clue)
. . 1 Rosetta Stuart Cowan (listed in granddaughter's will as Rosalie Stuart-Cowen) 1844 PA- 1890 Switzerland (from Glen's online tree)
m George Frederic Kroll
. . . 1 Rose Stuart Kroll 1863 Pforzheim Baden Germany- 1927 Genf (Geneva?) Switzerland (buried Berne)
m 1883 Stuttgart, Germany, Albert Theodor Otto (born Hartford Maryland)
had issue several of whom marry or settle in Manhattan or California
. . . 2 Georgia Stuart Kroll 1874
m1 Albert Louis Stephan Spiering (div) with whom she'd lived at The Hague
m2 Lausanne Switzerland, Ernest Adams Mayhew b 1859
. . . . 1 Jacob Stephan George Spiering emigrated with mother c 1900 to USA
. . . 3 Isabel Sophie M E Kroll (later Isabel or Isa or Isabella Stuart Kroll) c 1879 Germany
Very usefully living Washington DC in 1920 though not under the name Isabel(la)! but indexed as Mrs Taylor; death not yet found
m1 c 1897 Hans Jorgen Reedtz 1853-1933, painter from Denmark who settled in Paris and later Greece (marriage dissolved)
m2 not exactly clear - but somebody was the father of the De Sparre children
m3 1907 Keswick (or very near) in the beautiful Lake District of England, Arthur Taylor later Arturo Stuart Taylor 1883-1936
who had worked for Thomas Cook's, and likely done so in Paris (as his cousin Fred Airey had done)
Karen Frederiksen Reedtz may be connected as she married Jens Kaas of Sparre [wrong century!?]
. . . . 1 Anna Katharina De Sparra Reedtz c 1896 France m George Tait, lawyer, Washington DC (there 1920 with son)
all living Rotterdam Netherlands 1930 in consular service, made passport application
It gets more complicated: Anna Katharina Isa Rosalie de Sparre Stuart Reedtz had a child by Adelbert Marie Frederic de Sou[sa] namely:
Hans Frederic Maria Adalberti Aurelius Gotha Fredriksson born 1925 Vaux-sur-Aure France, a Swede who arrived at Rio Brazil 1954
this must be the John de Gotha Fredrikson
. . . . 2 John De Sparre c 1899 France- 1981 King William Va. m Olga (issue)
. . . . 3 Alice Mary Stuart Taylor 1909 Calgary Alberta- 1962 Sicily (married, but no issue)
