Barry Bostwick is an American actor and singer.
He is married to Sherri Jensen, with whom he has two children.
Barry’s paternal grandfather was Henry Bostwick (the son of Orsamus Ferdinand Bostwick and Maria Snyder). Henry was born in California. Orasmus was the son of Orasmus Ferdinand Bostwick and Sarah Bardwell.
Barry’s paternal grandmother was Lillian Maude Parsons (the daughter of Edmond B./S. Parsons and Mary Jane Bradford). Lillian was born in California. Edmond was the son of John/Samuel Phillip Parsons and Abigail Knowles. Mary Jane was the daughter of Robert Bradford and Lucinda Childers.
Barry’s maternal grandfather was Hiram Knapp Defendorf (the son of Fletcher Adelbert Defendorf and Susan C. Quackenbush). Hiram was born in New York. Fletcher was the son of Hiram Defendorf and Eliza/Elise Wilson. Susan was the daughter of Isaac Klady Quackenbush and Julia Ross.
Barry’s maternal grandmother was Elizabeth Morris (the daughter of William Franklin/Francis Morris and Oregon Edwards/A. “Orrie” Hutchinson). Elizabeth was born in Kentucky. William was the son of William Morris and Elizabeth. Oregon was the daughter of James S. Hutchinson and Isabella “Belle” Edwards.
”Maria was the daughter of Jeremiah/Jeremias Snyder and Annatje/Annaatje/Anna Hannah Hommel.”
Can I get a source on this?
There’s a couple named Jeremiah Snyder and Annatje Hannah Hommel, that have a daughter named Mary, married name Bostwick, but it’s a different woman. This Mary is 30 years older than Barry’s gggrandmother, and she’s born in NY, not PA.
I ”think” it was a family tree of ancestry.com.
Correctionhe also has Irish and distant Welsh ancestry as well.
From which ancestors do you mean?
If the Irish is from Ann Boradell, then, given her name and when she moved to the United States, she was probably Scots-Irish (or of English Protestant descent).
Yeah, Anne Bodadell was the one I saw with Irish roots. The Welsh came from Catherine Stradling who was married to a Palmer on his father’s side. She was born in 1512.
Ah, yes, Catherine Stradling was of half Welsh descent.
