Other Events and Attributes:

• Name: Garland Patch
• Birth: 27 Feb 1905, Portsmouth, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA
• Occupation: 1930, Portsmouth, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA; insurance salesman

Notes:

Garland was an insurance salesman in the 1930's before he went to work on the Navy Yard. They lived on Union Street in Portsmouth before moving to 376 Court St, the house owned by Judge Aldridge of Cambridge. Garland and his wife were caretakers of the Aldridge House and Museum next to theirs. They lived there rent-free with the understanding that the house would be given to Strawbery Banke when they died.
Garland had an affair with Mary Blue (spelling unknown). She supposedly worked on the Navy Yard with him. She got pregnant, and Garland brought home the baby for his wife to raise. Daughter Jean did not know about all this until she was a grown woman and did eventually meet the woman who lived somewhere in Massachusetts. Jean has the same leg problems that her mother had and walks similarly according to Ivene Patch.

Garland married GARLAND, Amelia Julia on 9 Aug 1923 in Kittery Point, York, Maine, USA. Amelia (daughter of GARLAND, Albert Haven and DEROCHEMONT, Amelia Blanche) was born on 25 May 1908 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA; died on 5 Dec 1996 in Portsmouth, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA; was buried on 7 Dec 1996 in Lot 42 Newington Cemetery, Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Death: 6 Dec 1996, Portsmouth, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA

Notes:

Amelia was born in the Old Parsonage in Newington. Within the year, she had moved to Maplewood Ave near the mall, then to Raitt's Court. On her marriage record from Kittery Point, her age was given as 18, but she was only 15.

Notes:

Albert lived on Woodbury Avenue at Christian Shore on Maplewood Ave after they moved from Raitts Court where they lived in 1920. He last resided at the Wentworth Home. Prior to that he had lived for several weeks with daughter Amelia.

Since he was left an orphan at a young age, Albert was given to a Coleman family in Newington where he worked for room and board from childhood. An honest man with no formal education, he never traveled more than fifty miles from his home.

I cannot find Albert in the 1880 census. In the 1900 census Albert was a single farm laborer in Newington, not too far from where Amelia and first husband Israel Neill were living. In 1920 he was listed as a baggage master with the railroad. With him were his wife, daughter Amelia and widowed brother Frank, aged 65 who had no occupation. In 1930 he and wife Amelia were alone, and Albert was a laborer of odd jobs. They rented their very primitive home on Woodbury Ave for $6 a month. They were very poor, proud people.

Albert married DEROCHEMONT, Amelia Blanche on 31 Jul 1906 in Greenland, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA. Amelia (daughter of DEROCHEMONT, Frederick William, daughter of DEROCHEMONT, Frederick William and ADAMS, Sarah Frances) was born on 6 Sep 1869 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA; died on 20 Feb 1940 in Portsmouth, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA; was buried in Newington Cemetery, lot 42, western division Newington, Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA.

Notes:

According to Amelia Patch, Fred lost a leg and had a wooden one. The leg was cut off by the doctor while he was lying on the kitchen table, and the leg was buried in the back yard. Later, after he had recuperated, his wooden leg was bothering him. They went to the yard, dug the old leg up and there rubbing up against the bone was an English walnut! He insisted that the walnut was the thing that was bothering his wooden leg.
