My maternal grandmother Dorothy Ann "Billie" Daggett Wild (1900-1964) was a direct descendant of John Doggett (1602-1673), an early Massachusetts colonist. The Doggett/Daggett family is exceptionally well documented. I have divided this story into three parts. This first part covers our 17th and 18th century Doggett and Daggett ancestors, including a connection to the Mayflower and an in-law relationship with Benjamin Franklin.
My great great grandfather John Minot Daggett went to sea as a young man on whaling ships out of New Bedford, Massachusetts. In 1853 he moved from New England to the Midwest, where his livelihood was tied to the railroad for many years.
My great grandfather William Smith Daggett was a deputy federal marshall who played a central part in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Census War of 1890.
My great great grandparents were Michael Ryder (1828-1877) and Rose Joyce (1837-1885), both from Ireland. They lived in St. Catharines, Ontario for many years. During the 1860's and 1870's, Michael Ryder appeared frequently in the St. Catharines newspapers and jail records. These records and others, together with some family information, paint a portrait of a colorful, articulate, even charismatic, man who was also, unfortunately, an alcoholic.
My father's parents were Amanda Strom (1883-1973) and John Edward "Ed" Mattson (1884-1947), Swede Finns who came to America through Ellis Island in the early 20th century.
This site was started based on work done many years ago by my mother, M. Joyce Mattson, nee Wild (1929-2004). She became interested in genealogy in the 1980s, and passed the torch
-- together with documents and photos -- to me circa 2000.This site would not exist today if not for her work back then. Thank you Mom.
I would also like to thank Peter Etue, who maintains the Joseph Wild branch of this site. Peter's contributions over the years have been invaluable and are much appreciated.
I am Jan Gallant nee Mattson, a great great granddaughter of Casimir Wild. Please feel free to contact me if you have any comments, questions, corrections, additions, etc. regarding this site, or if you would just like to say hello to a distant cousin.
