     Ellsworth James Turse Sr. was born on 27 April 1903 at Pearl River, Rockland County, NY. He (1) married Caroline Catherine Granger, daughter of George Francis Granger Sr. and Caroline (Carrie) Federlichner, on 1 June 1922. Ellsworth James Turse Sr. (2) married Inez Dinsmore. Ellsworth James Turse Sr. was buried in August 1980 in St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Dunedin. He died on 15 August 1980 at Dunedin, FL.

     He went to Westwood HS, and attended business school. Ellsworth James Turse Sr. was a ticket agent, and travel agent with Walker Travel Agency in Ridgewood, NJ 1950-1965. They were members of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Montvale. He was Episcopal.
     Early in life, as a 16 year-old, Ellsworth was working as a tabulator for Western Electric. He started out his career in the travel business as a ticket clerk with the Erie Railroad. Soon after, he found his way to Clyde Mallory Line, a shipping company, and was employed there until World War II. Jim's sister, Joan, remembers one highlight of her Dad's employment with Clyde Mallory as taking a sea cruise that took her to Cuba. In his later years, Ellsworth returned to Cuba soon after Fidel Castro took over, and, with a delegation from the American Society of Travel Agents, met with Raoul Castro to discuss reopening tourism from the United States to Cuba. During the war he worked at Wright Aeronautical in Paterson, NJ in administration. He and Bill Walker became friends, and soon after the war the two of them joined Bill's father in transitioning a small local travel agency operating out of an office in an old house in Ridgewood, New Jersey, to a successful, full service agency that was located across from the Ridgewood train station for many years. Ellsworth served as Vice President of the agency, and opened an office in Westwood, New Jersey in the late 1950's in an effort to expand the agency's market share. The Westwood office never quite enjoyed the success expected, and soon after Ellsworth retired to Florida in 1965, the agency was closed. Ellsworth retired when he could because of poor health prompted by vision problems that he had suffered with all of his life since childhood. He had scarlet fever as a young boy and his vision was effected by the illness. In 1964 he underwent a double cataract operation that left his vision further impaired. At that point he made the decision to retire and move to Florida. To that end, he and his second wife, Inez, purchased a lot on Orange Avenue in New Port Richey, Florida, not far from his former brother-in-law, George Granger. Ellsworth and Inez could never quite find the right place to live in Florida, and for a short while tried living in Westwood, NJ, where Ellsworth had grown up. They moved several times in the Clearwater area, and at the time of his death he and Inez were living temporarily in a mobile home as they were planning for construction of a new home. Ellsworth died of complications from surgery for brain cancer.

     We have conflicting information regarding Jacob Young Turse's parents. The Blauvelt Genealogy has his father, Lawrence, as son of Jacob Toers and Aaltje Blauvelt, which we believe is correct, but the Ackerman Genealogy has Laurence married to Ann Ackerman, which we believe is incorrect for this line. We show Ann or Hannah Ackerman married to Laurence Tuers, s/o Abraham Toers and Rachel (not verified - please notify us if this record needs to be edited).
     We have Jacob's Bible in our files. It gives the spelling of his name as TURSE, while much of the family continued to use the TUERS form of the name. This same spelling was taken by Aaron TURSE family of Westwood, NJ, although name variants appeared in public records until after 1890.
     Jacob Y. Turse's Bible gives his birth date as 6 July 1822 (which acc. Bergen County Families is the date on the tombstone), a considerable variance from the RDC Paramus Baptism Record.^5,2,4
     Both Elizabeth Blauvelt (4 Jan 1772-6 May 1848) and Eliza Duryee (4 Jan 1772) are mentioned in the bible of Jacob Young Turse. It is unclear what the relationship is. Their birthdays are the same; Elizabeth could be the mother of Hannah Blauvelt, Caroline's mother; or they could be the same person, or they could be twin sisters of Catherine Westervelt, Caroline's grandmother. Another unknown is Margaret Westervelt, who died in 1805.
     A Margaret Westervelt (died 6 Oct 1805) is also listed in the Turse-Westervelt Bible. It is unclear what the relationship is.⁵
