Jacob Kadetsky and Pauline Baruth 1876 marriage record reveals new information!

HI Everyone, Happy Snowday for Northeastoners!
I found this interesting marriage record for Pauline Baruth and Jacob Kadetsky. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F6QG-TYK
Although they don't have the original scan there are several interesting facts that we can learn from the record. First, this is their September 3, 1876 marriage record. From Jacob's 1906 death record we know that his parents were Gerturde Lazinsky and Elias Kadetsky (my gggggf through Jacob's brother Shaya Aziel!). This is the earliest American record I have confirmed for my Kadetsky family. Second we see that Jacob's father's name in americanized to Ignatz from Elias and his mother to Lina (her hebrew name was Gitel Leah). In the record Lina has the surname of Jackson. We already know that her surname is Lazinsky from the original polish records. This is an example of a patronymic naming as her father's first name was Jacob, hence Jacobson. For those who are descended from Jacob and Pauline Kadetsky, we learn Pauline's parents names of Meyer and Sarah Baruth. Finally we see early spellings of Kadetsky as Kadetzky and Kardetzky, as well as early spelling of Baruth as Bakuth (or poor transcriptions...)

Pauline Kadetsky (wife of Jacob Kadetsky b. 1851) Obituary

Published in "The Jewish Advocate" in Boston, MA on Sep 19, 1930.
She seems like she was a really sweet lady. We see from the article that all her daughters had married by this time. I knew about the marriages of everyone except Martha Kadetsky marriage to Harry Cooper. Jacob and Pauline had 7 daughter and one son. The son Abraham died when he was 1 year old. There 7 daughter were Augusta married Samuel DeHaan, Fannie married Harry Porcelain, Rosa married Abraham Kalish, Annette married Henry Bowman, Tena married Benjamin Finkelstein, Martha married Harry Cooper, and Edna died on April 3, 1919 at 20 years old.

The First known US KADETSKY - Jakob 1871

So far, research has shown that three KADETSKIES arrived in the US in the summer of 1871. Since we have not yet been able to confirm the exact date of arrival (maybe they shipped in together but forgot the exact date and made one up, or confused the Gregorian and the Julian calendars, or......), we'll go by age:

The oldest was JAKOB KADETSKY, according to his FIRST PAPERS (see image), which were the initial application forms for citizenship, he was born on 20 Sept 1853 and came to the US from "Russia Poland" as it was known back then.... He reportedly arrived in NY on 28 June 1871 aged 18 and lived in NY for a few years, later moving to Boston where in 1876 he requested US citizenship.
























He was married to a lady named Pauline E Baruch who was born around 1854, arrived in US 1872? and died 14/09/1930 and they had the following children:

Fannie
b. Boston 05/09/1879
m. Henry Porcelaine

Rosa
born Boston 25/06/1882
married Abraham Kalish

Nettie
born in MA 1886
married Henry Bowman

Abram
d. 13/08/1889 aged 1y10m

Tena
born Boston 23/06/1890
married Benjamin Finkelstein

Martha
born in Boston 31/05/1892

Edna
b. Boston 1899
d. April 3, 1919
buried in Tefireth Israel

In the 1885 Boston Directory he is listed as follows: Kadetsky Jacob, peddler, h. 23 Decatur

Jakob died in Massachusetts on Mar 1, 1906 and he and Pauline are both buried in buried W Roxbury, MA in Tefireth Israel Cemetery.  As far as we can see, they had no surviving sons, so their surname did not continue.  However, Pauline stated she had 7 surviving children in the 1910 census, so we might be missing a son in our data.

The data given here was taken from Census reports and other documents such as the images included.







In the 1910 US Census for Suffolk County, Pauline is listed as living with her son-in-law Henry Porcelaine in Suffolk County, Boston: 75 Lawrence Avenue; as follows: Henry’s mother-in-law, Pauline E. KADETSKY (born about 1855 in Germany). Pauline is a widow. She has had eight children but only seven are living in the 1910 census. Her parents were from Germany and Pauline arrived in the United States in 1872. Also living with them are her daughters:
1. Henry's wife Fanny (born about 1880 in Massachusetts)
2. Henry’s sister-in-law, Nettie KADETSKY (born about 1886 in Massachusetts)
3. Henry’s sister-in-law, Lena KADETSKY (born about 1891 in Massachusetts)
4. Henry’s sister-in-law, Martha KADETSKY (born about 1893 in Massachusetts)
5. Henry’s sister-in-law, Edna KADETSKY (born about 1899 in Massachusetts).
