The Dumond family had no information on the Dumond ancestors, and only some vague memories about Collise. There was a family legend that the first Dumond of their line had come to Arkansas as a stowaway on a ship from France. There were no documents with the spelling of the name or any information. The name was know in oral memory and recorded by Bertie Lois Dumond McSwain, my mother-in-law and Edward C's granddaughter. She had collected all the information she could gather form her memory, family members, and records she could get access to. She had written the name as Edward Collise Dumond. She had no names farther back than him. In February 2008, I was able to locate some additional information for the first time. I found some censuses with Edward and even his parents. I found that the middle name, also the name of Edward's father, was the French name Caliste. This led to some genealogies of the Dumond/Dumont family lines in Quebec and back to France. I found several different family lines and some discussions of Dumont/Dumond researchers mostly in Quebec. The oral memory of a stowaway on a boat could still very well be true, being handed down from as far back as the early migration from France to Quebec. On the other hand, it could be related to the migration down the Mississippi River system from Canada to Arkansas when it was still French territory. Several other Quebec families moved to Arkansas Post under French and Spanish administrations. The related Depuis family from Quebec likewise came down the rivers to Arkansas Post and St Charles under the Spanish administration of the territory, when Arkansas was part of Spanish New Madrid Territory. One of the Quebec researchers had hired a professional genealogist to discover information on his line. This clarified the distinctions between two similar lines and confirmed the parentage at one point, where apparently some earlier genealogies had confused two lines of Dumonts. I am using those genealogies along with censuses I have found to reconstruct the Dumond Arkansas line. Other variations of the name are DuMond and Demoe. The spelling of Edward's name in all these genealogies is Edward Caliste. This is a proper French-language name form. The family were in Arkansas County in 1860, and Edward is with his parents in Arkansas County, Arkansas. In the 1860 census they were enumerated in Old River Township, with a Swan Lake post office. In 1860, the head of the family is Caliste (though spelled here as what looks like Calist), wife Sara M and Edward C is 8 months old, with two older sisters. 1860 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 3-4 September, Old River Township, PO Swan Lake, page 96, Hse #757, Fam #701 Dumond, Calist M 35 Farmer No real Estate $1000 Personal Estate born Arkansas Dumond, Sarah M F 24 born Tennessee Dumond, Mary F 10 born Arkansas Dumond, Toresa F 8 born Arkansas Dumond, Edward C [Son] 8 months born Arkansas [born January 1860] In 1870, his mother has married a man named William DeBalt, and they are recorded as a household in Cypress Bayou Township of Arkansas County, near Arkansas Post. Note the unusual way in which the names of Caliste (Calista) and Solomon are reported, as though the enumerator was confused about the surname of these two, though he got Sarah Dumond's name right. 1870 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 9 July, Cypress Bayou Township, PO Arkansas Post, page 7, Hse/Fam #59 DeBalt William 32 M W Farmer $400 Real Estate $400 Personal born Missouri cannot read or write DeBalt Sarah M 31 F W Keeping House born Tennessee cannot read or write Dumond Sarah 17 F W Arkansas Calista Edward [sic] 11 M W Arkansas Lewis Solomon [sic] 9 M W Arkansas DeBalt Mary A 2 F W Arkansas Caliste is listed here as 11 years old, but his known birthday is in January 1860. Thus he should be only 10 in July 1870. I have not been able to find Edward Caliste and his family in the 1880 census. By 1900, Edward and his family are up north in Cleburne County, Arkansas, in Sugar Loaf Township. 1900 Federal Census, Cleburne County, Arkansas, 14 June, Sugar Loaf Township, District 18, page 8B, Hse #137, Fam #141 Dumond, Edward C Head W M Jan 1860 40 Married 15 years AR AR AR Farmer Owns Farm Dumond, Emma C Wife W F Sept 1866 33 Married 15 years AR GA GA Dumond, Nora V Dau W F Feb 1886 14 AR AR AR Farm Laborer Dumond, Mary T Dau W F Dec 1887 12 AR AR AR Farm Laborer Dumond, Edward L Son W M Dec 1889 10 AR AR AR Farm Laborer Dumond, Ira N Son W M Feb 1894 6 AR AR AR Dumond, Dollie E Dau W F Sept 1896 3 AR AR AR Dumond, Zula (?=Lillie) Dau W F Apr 1900 2mos AR AR AR Dumond, McKinley Son W M Apr 1900 2mos AR AR AR The latter child McKinley was reported by his niece Bertie Lois Dumond McSwain as Willie. This would make the twins Willie and Lillie. This probably indicates that Willie's name was William. Since he is enumerated here as McKinley, this makes me think his full name was William McKinley. And William McKinley was the President of the United States at the time the twins were born. The name in this census for Lillie is a bit uncertain. The name is scrawled. It is transcribed by Ancestry as Zula. And sure enough, the first letter seems to have the script tail of a capital Z. It runs into the M of McKinley on the line below, but does look like a Z, and the vowels following probably a U. Some genealogies list this child as Ziola, so they read the vowel(s) following the Z as IO. There is no dot there, but it could have been IO. One researcher interprets the name as Viola. Bertie tells us this child's full name was Lillie Viola. We learn from the family that Edward L is Edward Luther, who had a son also named Edward Luther. Bertie Lois Dumond McSwain recorded: "Emma Cornelia Dumond lost her mother (___ Kinard) Mar. 4, 1902, daughter Mary Mar 11, daughter Dollie Mar 12, and husband Mar 22, 1902 -- all within 18 days. All died of pneumonia." -- Personal family information compiled February 27, 1979, for Orville and Edith McSwain Jenkins.

The name on the son's grave has Edward Luther Jr. Various other Dumond family sources also have told us his name was Edward Luther. Some genealogies report them as Senior and Junior. The family information indicates that Edward Luther's birthday is 22 December 1889. This also matches the 1900 census. But on his WWI Draft Registration in 1918, Luther reported his birth date as 22 December 1890. On the WWII Registration, it is again 1889, Both report the place of birth as Ethel, Arkansas. His age is not reported on his marriage record. Luther married in 1912. His wife is reported as Hassie Lee. Some records and genealogies seem to indicate that Lee is the middle name, but the name on their marriage record is only Hassie Lee, indicating this was her maiden name. Arkansas, County Marriages Index, 1837-1957 Luther Dumond Residence Arkansas, Arkansas Hassie Lee, Age 16 Residence DeWitt Marriage 22 Sep 1912 Arkansas County Marriage License Date: 1912 A genealogy by Julie Daniels reports Luther's wife as Hassie E Sermons. I have seen no other genealogy or record that has a last name for her. The middle initial E seems to come from the entry in the 1920 census, the only listing of her name with an E initial. The only documented name is Hassie Lee. But see the 1940 census below.

Roy is reported as Roy E, differing from Roy L in the 1930 census. 1930 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 12 April, Stuttgart, District 8, page 8B, 715 North College St, Hse #178, Fam #210 Dumond, Edward L Head Rents Home M W 40 Married at age 40 AR AR AR Carpenter, House Dumond, Hassie Wife F W 34 Married at age 16 AR AR AR Dumond, Edward L Son M W 16 AR AR AR Dumond, Roy L Son M W 15 AR AR AR Dumond, Mary R Dau F W 8 AR AR AR Dumond, Lucy C Dau F W 5 AR AR AR Dumond, Robert M Son M W 2 AR AR AR In the 1940 census an entry that appears to be for Edward Luther presents some problems. The enumeration was in LaGrue Township, near DeWitt, where they were living in 1920. This Luther seems to match her son Edward Luther Dumond, and Edward Luther's mother is living next door. But the age is a little different, and his wife is Emma Teal, instead of Hassie Lee. Teal step children in the home confirm the previous married name of Emma. But the death date I have for Hassie Lee is 1978. So from the information in this 1940 census, it looks like Luther and Hassie divorced some time before 1934, about the time Esther Lottie was born to Luther and Emma Teal Dumond. From the age of Lottie here, we can estimate that Luther married Emma Teal about 1933. 1940 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 4 May, LaGrue Township, District 1-17, page 20A, Road to Cuba, Hse #377, Rents $5 Dumond, Luther Head M W 54 Grade 6 b Ark same place in 1935 Farm Operator Dumond, Emma Wife F W 51 Grade 4 b Ark same place in 1935 Dumond, Esther Lottie Dau F W 6 Single Grade 0 b Ark same place in 1935 Dumond, Jas Carl Son M W 1 Single Grade 0 b Ark same place in 1935 Teal, Troy Stepson M W 9 Single Grade 2 b Ark same place in 1935 Teal, Marie Stepdau F W 11 Single Grade 3 b Ark Father b Okla Mother b Ark same place in 1935 Teal, Jas Wesley Stepson M W 11 Single Grade 3 b Ark same place in 1935 Teal, Thos Chester Stepson M W 14 Single Grade 4 b Ark same place in 1935 In the 1940 census, Emma Miller is living alone next door to this Luther Dumond. Her presence next door would seem to strengthen the possibility that this is her son Edward Luther Dumond, son of Edward Caliste Dumond. But this Luther's age is a little off, and the wife is Emma instead of Hassie. 1940 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 4 May, LaGrue Township, District 1-17, page 20A, Road to Cuba, Hse #378, Rents $1 Miller, Emma Wife F W 73 [b abt 1867] Grade 5 b Ark same place in 1935 I have seen no info about Hassie Lee in other sources, either, that would indicate a previous marriage to a Teal, or that she and Luther divorced. Hassie Lee lived until 1978. I have considered that there was another Luther Dumond born in about 1886, as Luther's 1940 age would indicate. But I cannot find a place to put this Luther Dumond with the information now available. Help is welcomed from family members who can clarify this. But his WWII Draft card in 1945 has the name of his contact person as Mrs. Emma Dumond. This is usually the name of the registrant's wife if married. This seems to indicate his wife's name was Emma, matching Emma Teal, the wife reported in the 1940 census. So did Luther and Hassie divorce? And why can I find no record?

Brian Demoe lists this child in his genealogy of this family. But I do not find her with her mother in the 1870 census. Brian estimates her birth as about 1864, but does not give the source of this date. This would mean that in 1870 she should have been 5-6 years old, but she is not in the census. If she is truly Caliste and Sarah's daughter, then she must have died before 1870. But her birth date is also a problem. Brian himself also reports the actual death of her father Caliste as 29 April 1863. This means the latest period in which Isabella could have been conceived was April 1863, meaning the latest birth date was in January 1864. I think it is possible Isabella is a daughter of another Dumond, rather than Caliste and Sarah, but I have not found where she should go in the Dumont/Dumond families. Otherwise, she died at the age of about 5 before the 1870 census.
Israel is reported in several different family genealogies of different lineages that intersect with the Dumont line. In 1850, we find him for the first time by name in the census. He is in the household of his widowed mother Felicity/Félicité and an older brother Regis/Reges. His name is misspelt here and in 1870, but we can tell what is meant. 1850 Federal Census, Desha County, Arkansas, 1 November, Chester Township, page 71 (141), Hse/Fam #268 Felicita [Félicité] Dumond 42 F [No occupation listed] $1500 Real Estate 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 his mother Félicité (written in the census as Felicita). I was able to identify him with the help of his entry in the Noonan-Howarth genealogy, 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 Elizabeth Narcissa White in 1855. The wife of A Dumond in 1860 is Narcissa. 1860 Federal Census, Desha County, Arkansas, 2 August, Chester Township, 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 in 1855, acording to Patrick Noonan. Several genealogies report that Israel Dumond had two wives. Narcissa died sometime after the birth of Robert, born in 1860. When she died, Israel married Sarah E Frazier 25 Sep 1865. But the 1870 census reports a third wife named Serina (Serena?). 1870 Federal Census, Desha County, Arkansas, 11 August, Chester Township, PO Chester, page 5 (477), Hse/Fam #48 Du Mond, Isriel 38 M W Farmer born Arkansas father and mother of foreign birth cannot read or write Du Mond, Serina A 28 F W Keeping House born Tennessee can read, cannot write 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 two children surnamed Allen in the household. This appears to be a widow and her two children from the marriage to a man named Allen. The younger Allen child, Edward, is 4, meaning he was born to Mr Allen and Serina in 1866, a year after the reported marriage of Israel to Sarah Frazier. This Serina seems, then to be a different person from the Sarah Frazier reported as Israel's second wife. It appears that Sarah died before the 1870 census, with no children. No children appear which could be the children of Sarah. Robert F is reported as age 10, so born in 1860-61, before Israel married Sarah (1865). Louis, who was age 3 in 1860 (a son of Narcissa), does not appear in 1870, and it appears that Robert is a different child. Louis must have died before the 1870 census. This census also reports a 7-month old Nancy A Dumond, and her month of birth is given as October 1870. This would be the first child of Israel and Serina. Thus they were married probably in 1869, possible January 1870. Note, however, that 7 months old does not match October 1869! It should be 9 months old or born in January 1870. Israel is buried in the Nady Community (Tichenor, Arkansas, address), not far from Arkansas Post.

There are few details about Jean-Baptiste. No marriage information is known. It is unclear when he died. I have reported the date as after 19 Mar 1838. Patrick Noonan in his Dumond genealogy reports this as the date of Jean-Baptiste's death. Ralph Dumond, posting on RootsWeb Dumont List, 1999, clarifies the meaning of this date: "Jean Baptiste Dumond b 1810-1815 (first taxed for poll in 1837) d after 19 Mar 1838 when he witnessed the will of Michael Petersel in Ark Co." Yet there is a listing for a J Dumond in the Desha County Militia (Confederate States of America) in 1861. The only Dumond we know that matches this is Jean-Baptiste. There is also a listing for a C Dumond in that Militia, which appears to be his brother Caliste. Desha County Battalion Arkansas Militia DUMOND, C. DUMOND, J. Enlistment as Nov 28, 1861 Laconia [Desha County], Arkansas "A copy of a letter dated Laconia, (AR) Nov 28, 1861, attached to the roll is addressed to Gov. H.M. Rector, Commander in Chief, Arkansas Militia, b T. C. Fluornoy, Col. C.D.C.M. and it shows that the Court of Desha County, Ark in accordance with an ordinance of the State Convention passed in June 1861, organized the militia of the county according to the following plan: The county was divided into military districts (believed to be 13) and a company ordered to be organized in each district. This was done in July 1861 and all the officers of the battalion were commissioned from the County Court. If the emergency arises, which may require the services of the Desha County Battalion to the field, a call will be promptly responded to." -- Civil War in Arknasas, http://www.couchgenweb.com/civilwar/deshabn.htm Unfortunately, Noonan gives no source for his information. If this J Dumond in the Desha Militia is our Jean-Baptiste, he may have died in the war, since he is not listed among the heirs of Félicité Dumond in the settlement of her estate after her death in 1862.
