Stephen Barrettf says: ( July 21, 2012) My great-grandfather is the Samuel Hoard mentioned the article on the Chiago Orphan Asylum. He and his wife adopted Genevieve Johnson (Johnston or Johnstone). Our family has no record of the adoption confirming Genevieve's surname. Our family tradition infers that Genevieve's parents died in the cholera epidemic around 1848-1851. Genevieve was born around 1844. If you are aware of the location of the archieves for the asylum records for the period from 1845 through 1855, please let me know. Samuel Hoard was a faithful public servant who later was appointed Postmaster by President A. Lincoln. Unfortunately he lost his estate during the Chicago Fire in 1871, and for the remainder of his life he was supported by his son-in- law, Oscar W. Barrett.
