Home | Angelillo Family History - The brothers and sisters of Raffaele Angelillo
Elisabetta (née Angelillo) Jacovone, her husband Gabriel and their daughter Mary Concetta
These documents are for Raffaele Angelillo's youngest sister, Elisabetta. There is one difficulty, namely a ship's manifest from 1935 that records her year of immigration as 1912, because Elisabetta came to America in 1905. But otherwise, Elisabetta was born in 1899, and her married name was Jacovone, and she lived in Tullytown. Elisabetta's death certificate confirms this.
Question: where was Elisabetta's mother Maria (née Martone) Angelillo at the time of the 1930 Census? Maria did not die until October 1930 (while her husband Nicola Angelillo had died in 1920). Answer: After Nicola's death, Maria married a man named Alessandro Soave (1858-1943).
(Maria's other daughter Anna (née Angelillo) Morganti did not die until 1935. Her name is not found in the 1930 Census, but Anna was ill in the years before her death.)

Identification of Gabriel Jacovone
Elisabetta was born 10 November 1899 in Sant'Angelo d'Alife, Italy, to Nicola Angelillo and his wife Maria Martone. She came to America in 1905 with her mother, her older sister Anna and their brother Giovanni. The family lived in Bristol Borough, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Raffaele Angelillo (Ralph Angelo)'s wife Eleanor left behind a small brown slip envelope which contained a photograph for Raffaele's Certificate of Naturalization. On that envelope she had written in pencil: "Elisa... Iacovone". It is difficult or maybe impossible to read the first name after the first "a" (although what can be seen would be consistent with "betta" or "beth"); and the first letter of "Iacovone" could as easily be "J" as "I" because Eleanor made those letters similarly.
The reading "Jacovone" may be important because when Elizabeth replied to the U.S. War Department on her mother Maria's behalf, Elizabeth used the signature "Mrs. E. Jacovone". Maria Angelilli's address was: Box 74, Tullytown, Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania Index of Marriages, and Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Index of Marriage Licenses
Gabriele Jacovone and Elizabeth Angelilli applied for their marriage license on 3 January 1923 and were married on 8 January 1923. (File Number: 630123. Officiant Name: Isidore Jenne [parish priest of St Ann Church, Bristol Borough]. Officiant Title: Reverend. County Married: Bucks. Where married: Bristol. Book Number 63. Page Number 123.)
Unexplained is why there are two dates in the records of the Bucks County Orphans' Court for when application for marriage was made, namely 30 September 1922 and 3 January 1923 (Raffaele Angelilli and Eleanor Becker have only one date in the same record book, namely 4 June 1924). But a marriage license is valid for sixty days only, and the wedding may have been postponed.

World War II Draft Registration
The draft registration card for Gabrielle Angelo Jacovone (16 February 1942), states his birth date as 13 March 1899, names his wife as Elizabeth Iacovone, and says that he was born in Bristol, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
This is the proof positive document.

Notes: Again there is the question of the year of emigration. Elizabeth's original arrival was 1905. The passenger manifest suggests 1920 (Ever before in the US? Yes, 1920-1934), but this might not have been Elizabeth's first return visit to Italy. The child Concetta's age, to be consistent with the 1930 census, would be about 11 years old; she was in fact born on 4 November 1923 and would have been 12 years old.

Social Security Death Index - Gabriel Jacovone
Name: Gabriel JACOVONE
Date of Birth: 13 March 1899
Date of Death: February 1982
Social Security Number: 166-07-0572
Number Was Issued: Pennsylvania
Death Residence & Benefit Location: St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, Florida, 33701
Social Security Application
Gabriel Angelo Jacovone's application for Social Security account number, circa 1936, states that his mother's maiden name was Norato.
Death Certificate - Gabriel A. Jacovone (1899-1982)
Gabriel A. Jacovone's Florida Certificate of Death [State file no. 82-017944] does not resolve this question. Gabriel's wife's name is stated there as Elvira Perticari Jacovone, and she is the informant for the certificate, but she was unable to provide the names of Gabriel's parents [And, therefore, perhaps Gabriel had remarried]. He died at the age of 82 on 26 February 1982, and is buried in Royal Palm Cemetery, 649-2nd Ave S., Saint Petersburg, Florida 33701. His occupation is stated as welder.
Notes: Gabriel's Social Security Application for Account Number would name his parents; however, it would not name his wife. [Sample Social Security application] There may -- or may not -- be an Application for Marriage License on file in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, for the above Gabriel and Elizabeth Iacovone from circa 1923. [Sample marriage license application] [When I wrote to request the marriage license application in November 2002, I was told that there is no record of a Iacovone marriage in Bucks Country. (That may be because the record is under the name Jacovone.)]
Obituary
Jacovone, Gabriel A., 82, of 420 Fourth Ave. S, died Friday (Feb. 26, 1892). Born in Pennsylvania, he came here in 1965 from Camden, N.J. and was a retired welder. He was a Catholic. Survivors include his wife Elvira Jacovone. The Palms Memorial Funeral Home.
