Descendancy Narrative of Stamatios Casanova

I. Stamatios Casanova

A. Stephanos Casanova was born after 1809.^{^[1]} Circa 1824, he found himself being educated at Borough Road School in London with several other boys who had been misplaced by the Greek Revolution of 1821. It is said that Stephanos was saved by a Frenchman as a Turk was about to kill him. Philhellenism was a wildly popular cause at the time and charitable funds for the boys' schooling were raised in order to prepare and return a new generation of Greek teachers to their homeland.^{^[2]} He married Theodora (--?--). In Jul 1850, a letter was penned by the representatives of the holy basilica and patriarchal monastery of Iviron in Athos, Greece which was to be delivered along with other formal documents to the eldership of Chios island by their deputy, the most blessed Ilarion Iviriti. The letter alleges that Stephanos is trespassing and claiming as his own some land that belongs to the monastery and humbly requests that the Chios elders convince him to end this unjust interference. No mention is made of the exact location of the property nor is it known what action, if any, was taken to rectify the situation.^{^[3]}

1. Stamatios Casanova married Maria Mamounas, daughter of Nikolaos Mamounas.^{^[4]} There is a story describing their courtship. Stamatis was travelling through Dafnonas one day and saw Marigo. She was so beautiful that he went immediately to her parents to ask for her hand in marriage. They being poor and feeling a bit wary of this rich boy from town, decided, in the end unsuccessfully, to scare him away on his next visit by standing in the road dressed as ghosts.^{^[5]} He was present when a dowry contract between his daughter Marouko and Petros Misiriotakis was signed in 1898. He and his wife promised her an icon depicting the Virgin Mary of the groom's choice, 80 gold twenty-franc coins, 2 blankets, 3 large pillows, 5 sheets, 12 personal outfits, a wall mirror, a cupboard writing table, a beverage bowl, a clay pot and a dozen wall towels.^{^[6]} Maria died circa Oct 1904, leaving him a widower.^{^[7]} He moved to the residence of his brother Ioannis shortly after her death.^{^[8]} He was present when a dowry contract between his daughter Sophia and Ioannis Giannoulakis was signed in 1904. He promised her an icon depicting the Virgin Mary of the groom's choice, 120 gold twenty-franc coins, 2 blankets, 3 large pillows, 5 sheets, 12 personal outfits, a writing table, a wall mirror, some copperware, a beverage bowl and a dozen wall towels.^{^[9]}

He created a will on 22 Jun 1905 at the home of his brother Ioannis in Chios, who was also designated executor. Demetrios Giannoulakis was a witness.^{^[10]} He was present when the dowry of his daughter Amalia and her late husband Ioannis was executed in 1905. Stamatis and Marigo had promised their daughter 80 gold 20-franc coins when her marriage dowry was drawn up in 1889. Amalia received 50 coins but was still owed 30 so, in lieu of this, and the fact that she was now a widow, Stamatis and his other daughters agreed to grant her some of her mother's land in Dafnonas in the area of "Makri". Amalia, it states, "worked the land and gathered the fruits of the earth and trees until the present day for these 30 coins" so was to receive the property debt and mortgage free, to do with as she wished.^{^[11]} Stamatios died before 4 Aug 1906. On this date his will was probated.^{^[12]} In summary, it read as follows: For my current will, written at the home of my brother Ioannis where I temporarily reside, with sound reason and mind, I instruct that after my death the following be executed. My children Amalia, Marouko and Sofi shall disburse, in a sisterly and loving manner, the real estate of my nearly eight months deceased wife, Marigo, along with the home and furniture and house wares where I reside. If money can be found, they shall disburse it in a sisterly manner in three equal parts. After my burial and memorial service I instruct the following. My brothers Demosthenes and Ioannis, for any incurred probate expenses, shall receive 500 grosia (currency). Our village church of Agio Panteleimon shall receive a donation of 400 grosia. As guardian and executor of my current will, I designate my brother Ioannis. I forgive my fellow Christians and I ask their forgiveness. (A note made in the margin when the will was probated explained that rather than the 400 grosia it was promised, the village church received 5 gold Ottoman lira).^{^[13]}

The three girls were asked to disburse in a sisterly and loving manner the real estate of their nearly eight months deceased mother, along with the home, furniture and house wares at their father's residence. If financial assets were discovered they would share them equally.^{^[18]} She was present when the dowry of her sister Amalia and her late husband Ioannis was executed in 1905. An agreement was reached between Marouko, her sister Sophia and their father to grant the widow a piece of land in lieu of the 30 gold coins she was still owed from her dowry drawn up in 1889. The property was located in the "Makri" area of Dafnonas and once belonged to their late mother.^{^[19]} In 1906, Marouko purchased land from her sisters Amalia and Marouka.^{^[20]}^,^{^[21]} She was referred to in the 1925 will of her uncle Ioannis Casanova. Indirect mention was made of the surviving children of Ioanni's late brother Stamatios.

If financial assets were discovered they would share them equally.^{^[35]} The provisions of her marriage dowry with Ioannis Haviaras were executed on 23 Oct 1905 in Dafnonas. Her father and late mother had promised her 80 gold 20-franc coins when her marriage dowry was drawn up in 1889. She had already received 50 coins and was owed the remaining 30. In lieu of this, and the fact that Amalia was now a widow, her father and sisters agreed to grant her some land in Dafnonas in the area of "Makri" that belonged to her late mother. Amalia, it states, "worked the land and gathered the fruits of the earth and trees until the present day for these 30 coins".

The hotel was all on one floor, with bedroom annexes, all made out of wood, like cabins. There were a lot of trees around, even though it was out in the desert. King Farouk had a huge estate in Maryut. The climate was fantastic. Paul Georgiadou, the son of her first cousin Marika Giannoulaki, often visited the hotel to shoot mainly butcher birds – a migratory species – who came to that area from Europe as it was the only area there which had trees and water. There were also wood pigeons. Many people went there to shoot birds. Paul went there when was very young, with his mother and later on his own to shoot birds. On one occasion, he shot something like 120 birds and Theodora fed all the guests in the hotel that evening with them! It was at this hotel that her niece Amalia Haviaras met her future husband Stelios Yannikakis. Amalia had gone there to help her. After the hotel, Kostas, who was a chef, rented another restaurant in Alexandria, and the couple lived in Theodora’s house in the Alexandria suburb of Ibrahimia.^{^[44]} Kostas died, leaving her a widow.^{^[45]} She was described as very short and fat, a woman who loved to eat, especially pastitchio. She had no children with either husband.^{^[46]} Theodora died circa 1975 in Alexandria, Egypt.^{^[47]} After her death, her sister Toula returned to Alexandria from Chios in an attempt to claim the block of flats that Theodora owned and lived in. Her niece Constantina who lived in the Bronx, NY also tried to get in on the willl. Any outcome of this is unknown, nor is it known who inherited the property.^{^[48]}

(3) Stamatia Haviaras also went by the name of Toula. She married Stavros Zervoudakis in Alexandria, Egypt. She and Stavros were divorced.

Ioannis retreated and became one of the lucky few who returned to Greece and in his case, back to Chios.^{^[59]} He moved to Egypt in search of a better life because the situation in Chios was bad due to the war and the large number of Asia Minor immigrants.^{^[60]} He purchased a bookstore in Ismailia which also housed the Greek press agency of that city.
