General Notes: Husband - Charles Van Alstyne Sands


His mother is listed as having died in child birth but he claims his birthday was a few days before her death. Presumably, this means she did not die right away. Originally his full name was Charles Henry Sands (the middle name was presumably in honor of his grandfather, William Henry Harrison). His grandmother, Catharine (Van Alstyne) Harrison , apparently, took charge of raising him and his siblings after his mother's death. After his grandmother became widowed in 1838, she moved from Manhattan to Herkimer County, NY to be close to her daughter, Harriet (Harrison) Watson. She is listed, with three of Hart's five children, almost right next to Uri C. Watson and his wife, Harriet (Harrison) Watson in the 1840 census for German Flats, Herkimer Co., NY. Charles, apparently, changed his middle name to Van Altsyne in honor of his grandmother, who raised him. His civil war service record lists him as Charles V. Sands rather than Charles H. Sands and he maintained the middle initial "V." in his signature for the rest of his life. He enlisted in the 5th N.Y. Infantry, Company B (known as the Zouaves ) as a private on 4/ 23/1861. The Zouaves were an elite all vollunteer company, specializing in hand to hand combat. They went into battle wearing a uniform which included bright red pants and a turban. I am guessing that his first wife may have died prior to this enlistment but I have been unable to find a record of her death. He was wounded August 30, 1861 at 2nd Bull Run, Va . The Zouaves suffered the most casualties in the shortest time for any company of Union soldiers during the Civil War during that battle. For more on the Zouaves, see "Camp and Field Life of the Fifth New York Volunteer Infantry (Duryee Zouaves)" by Alfred Davenport . He was mustered out on May 14, 1863. In 1860 he was living with his first wife in the 10th ward of Manhattan. He was also counted in the 4th ward in the 1860 census. In 1850 he was living with "Catherine Sherman" in the 4th ward of Manhattan. This is, likely, his grandmother, Catherine (Van Alstyne) Sherwood. See her entry as to her remarriage to Seth Sherwood after the death of her husband, William H. Harrison. I suspect that Charles' return from Herkimer County was in order to apprentice with his brother, Edward, in the druggist trade. He lived with his first wife at 88 Chrystie after their marriage in 1860. At the time of his second marriage, in 1874, he was living in the Green Point section of Brooklyn. He picked up the druggist business at 71 James St. about 1859, from his brother Edward. In the 1890's and early 1900's he was a druggist in Brooklyn. His last business address was 1957 Dean.

This is his story.


General Notes: Wife - Jeanette Williamson


Lived in the Green Point section of Brooklyn at the time of her marriage. As she appears in the 1850 census for the New Town section of Queens, she could not have been born in June 1851 as other records indicate.


Notes: Marriage

General Notes: Child - Charles Watson Sands


He was, presumably, named after his great uncle Uri C. Watson.


General Notes: Child - Edith Hempstead Sands


She was living under her maiden name with her sister Odette (going under her middle name of Linda) in the 1940 census for Brooklyn.


General Notes: Child - Harry Andrew Sands


still with ATT in 1930


General Notes: Child - Odette Linda Sands


1930 census lists her as head of household living in Brooklyn. Her birth certificate lists her name as Janet but she was always known as Odette or Linda (which was her middle name). In the 1940 census she was living in Brooklyn with her sister, Edith, under her maiden name, as Linda Sands.


General Notes: Child - Jessie Hart Sands


marriage license lists occupation as clerk. Her address is listed as 496 Flatbush Ave., Brooklyn.
