Lowe Genealogy

2011-03-25T22:37:00.000-07:00

Our line starts with the family of Eystein Glumra the Clatterer/ the Noisy, also called Eystein Ivarsson born ca. 830 in Nord-Trøndelag, Norway was Jarl (Earl) of Oppland and Hedmark in Norway.

This Nordic line ruled the Orkney Islands. Orkney and Shetland were ruled by Norway until 1472. As well as settling on Shetland, the Norsemen colonized Caithness and Sutherland in what is today's Scotland. We see the evidence in the place names. From the Shetlands and Orkneys, the Norsemen travelled on to the Hebrides and from there to the Isle of Man, Cumbria, Wales and, particularly, to Ireland. The Norsemen traded with Ireland and established several towns including Dublin and Cork.
Eystein had three sons as far as I can decipher at this time:

Rognvald I “The Wise” born 830

Sigurd I Earl of the Orkneys born 832

Malahule Eysteinsson, or Haldrick, Malahhulc Eysteinsson Earl of More, born 852.

It is Malahule line we follow for the surname LOWE. He has six sons, the fourth son Richard I De Contentin, was also known as Richard I, De St. Sauveur, Viscount of Cotentin born @ 893.

Richards son Asperling De Vandreuil, who was born in France @ 952, marries Sparta De Senlis and the Lowe line continues with their son Raoul Bayeux born 1022.

Bayeux is a town of Lower Normandy, in France, on the river Aure. It was formerly a very considerable place, and one of the most ancient in Gaul. It suffered much from the incursions of the Normans in the 9th and 10th centuries, and afterwards still more during the wars with the English.

It was taken from Berenger, count of Bessin, by Raoul, who was afterwards duke of Normandy, from which period it became a Norman town. It was taken and burnt by Henry, king of England, during the war which he carried on against his brother Robert, duke of Normandy, and it experienced a similar fate from the English in 1356. It afterwards stood two sieges, one by the English in 1415, and the other by count de Dunois in 1450; and, lastly, it was sacked and pillaged by the Protestants in 1562.

Raoul Bayeux marries Emeburge Ceux, and they have several children. Their son Balso Bayeux was born 930 and married Poppa Of Sulzbach, they have a son Ancitel De Bayeux born 1017 who marries Poppa De Senlis Counte, and they have two sons and one daughter.

Now we start to see the name change more. The particulars of this are still to be traced. One assumes these changes occur due to marriage, conflict, and lands claimed.

Their eldest son known as Alcher was born 1010, his wife is unknown at this time-a guess would be that he married someone within The Fitz Warine/Warren/Lee line who brought with it title and lands. He is the father of Warin Fitz Warine Lee, who married Milletta Peverell Whittington and they had two sons: Warine the Bold/Bald and the more famous Fulk Fitzwarine which brings the family in relation to William the Conqueror.

The Lowe line continues directly with Warine the Bold/Bald who was the first sheriff of Shorpshire. He and his wife Maud Le Vavsur have a son Hugo Fitz Warine and with his son we see the name changes now to De Lega with Hugh De Lega.

William, now called "the Conqueror," had with him Hugh de Lega and Gilbert de Venables, relatives, who fought so valiantly with William that they each were given an estate in Essex (Eastern England). The LEE name was spelled Lee, Lea, Leigh, de Lega and de Lee by this time.

Reginaldus De Lee, Hugo De Lega’s son is found in documents pertaining to Lea Farm. This tenement is adjacent to Hopstone. Reginald de Lega, is mentioned as an Essoignor in a local Suit of 1221, may have been of this place. Richard de la Lee, first Juror for Claverley at the Manorial Inquest of 1255, was undoubtedly so. Again, one Richard de la Lee was eighth Juror of Claverley at the Assizes of 1272.

But this is as much as I can find on Reginaldus De Lee. His son with Reynor is named John De lee. I know John married Matilda Erdington and from their 3 children we follow Thomas De Lee whose second marriage with Johanna Morton gives us Reginald De lee, and it becomes very tangled here for the moment. This area needs a closer look, Thomas De Lee/Lowe Thomas del Lowe, the elder, from whom the Derbyshire families of Lowe derived their descent, and who we assume to have been the younger brother of William del Lowe, appears as a witness to a charter in 1407, and was the father of Geoffrey del Lowe referred to in the proceedings of the Manorial Court of Macclesfield in 1426.

According to an old pedigree, a copy of which is to be found amongst the Wolley MSS. in the British Museum, this Thomas Del Lowe died at Macclesfield at eleven o'clock at night, on the 10th of February, 1415. Geoffrey Del Lowe, his son and heir, is stated on the same authority to have married Margaret, daughter of [Sir Peter?] Legh, of Lyme, in the County of Chester. This marriage is not given in any of the various pedigrees of that family, but there is no particular reason for doubting the accuracy of it.

By a charter, dated at Macclesfield the Saturday next after the feast of St. Kenelm, King and Martyr, in the seventeenth year of the reign of King Henry VI. (this would be in July, 1439), John Rossyndale, the elder, and John Rossyndale the younger, his son and heir, remitted and quit-claimed for ever to Geoffrey del Lowe, of Macclesfield, and his heirs, all their claims and title to certain lands and tenements of Geoffrey del Lowe, situated in "le Dedestrete" in the town of Macclesfield. The witnesses to this charter were Thomas Del Lowe, then Mayor of Macclesfield, Stephen Del Rowe, Alderman, Roger de Falybrome, Thomas Davy, Lawrence Blagg, and many others. Geoffrey Del Lowe is stated to have died at Macclesfield on the Monday in the third week of Lent, 1451, between the hours of six and seven in the morning. His widow survived him for about three years.

Thomas Lowe acquired a considerable estate through his marriage with Joane, eldest daughter and co-heiress of Thomas Fawne, of Alderwasley, on the 23rd of November, 1471. By their charter, dated on the Monday next after the Feast of the Purification, in the eleventh year of King Edward the IV. (February, 1472), Thomas Lowe and Joane his wife together granted and confirmed to Lawrence Lowe and George Lowe, brothers of the said Thomas, and to Humphrey Lowe.

Chapel of Witton

Ottiwell Township is situated in the ancient chapelry of Witton, and within the last three centuries at least twenty-five members of this branch of the family have been interred in Witton Church, as appears from the registers. Unfortunately, that church was re-paved some years since, and not a single inscription to the Lowes, or, indeed, any other family, escaped destruction.

Thomas Lowe gives us Geoffrey Lowe 1432 who marries Margaret Leigh.

By a charter dated in 1453, certain lands in Pexall (a small township about three miles from Macclesfield), were granted by John Hough, of Pexall, and Nicholas Hough, of the City of Oxford, to Laurence del Lowe, son of Geoffrey del Lowe, of Macclesfield, who reconveyed the same to George del Lowe, his younger brother. This George, who was living in 1472, as appears from a charter of Thomas del Lowe, his brother, had no male issue, and Margaret, his only daughter and heiress, became the wife of William Swetenham, of Somerford Booths, about 1479, and carried certain lands in Pexall, Bollington, and Macclesfield, into the Swetenham family.

According to a fine old emblazoned pedigree in Somerford Booths Hall, impaling Gules, two wolves passant argent—the ancient arms of Lowe—this Margaret Swetenham was living a widow in 1491.

Previous to 1473, the Lowes had quitted Macclesfield and were seated in the neighbourhood of Northwich, as is seen from a charter, dated September the 1st, 1473 whereby William Coton, of the town of Derby, Peter del Lowe, of Northwyche, John Halyn, "preste" of Wytton, Thomas del Lowe, William del Lowe, and Laurence del Lowe, all of the same place, testified that they were witnesses to a certain charter whereby Thomas Whytington, of Belper, in the County of Derby, and Margery, his wife, granted a messuage and seven acres of land in that place to John Whytington, their eldest son, therefore Thomas del Lowe of this charter became the ancestor of the Lowes of Alderwasley; Laurence del Lowe was ancestor of the Lowes of Denby; and either from Peter or William del Lowe sprang what, so far as can be ascertained, is now the sole existing branch of the family.

Geoffrey and Margaret’s son Lawrence Del Lowe Born 1451 marries for his first wife the heiress of Rossell, of Denby born 1440, and his second wife, co-heiress of Mylton, of Grafton.

Lawrence del Lowe of the Manor of Denby came into his possession; but evidence of this marriage isvague and even her parentage is unknown. His second wife was Alice, daughter and co heiress of William Mylton, of Gratton, in the County of Derby (son of Ranulph de Milneton, or Mylton, of Milton, in Cheshire, by Mary, his wife, daughter and sole heiress of . . . Gratton, of Gratton), and widow of Oliver de Newton, of Newton, in Cheshire, who died in London of the plague in 1452, and was buried in St. Andrew's Church, Holborn.t

Point of note: according to the Journal of the Derbyshire Archeological and Natural History V 1-3, Alice, the daughter and co-heiress of William Mylton, had, with other issue, a son, Richard de Newton, who married Janet, the daughter of Lawrence Lowe, his mother's second husband. We have here sufficient evidence that Lawrence Lowe must have been twice married. It seems more probable that his son and heir was the issue of his first marriage.

Lawrence appears to have embraced the legal profession and became a Sergeant-at-Law. In 1474, he is said to have been in the service of William, Lord Hastings; he became Recorder of the Borough of Nottingham, in or about the year 1480. The fact that he was twice married is sufficiently established, and there can be but little doubt that his first wife was the heiress of the family of Rossell, of Denby, and that through her the chief share must have been honored prior to 1455, for there is a deed of partition, dated in that year, whereby certain lands of William Mylton are divided between John Massey and Margaret his wife, Ralph Browne and Elena his wife, and Lawrence Lowe and Alice his wife; the said Margaret, Elena, and Alice, being the three daughters and co- heiresses of the said William Mylton.

Lawrence Lowe was living in 1484, when a covenant was entered into on the feast day of St. Clement (November the 23rd), in that year, between Henry Kent, Vicar of Horsley, with the consent of Richard, Prior of Lenton, and Lawrence Lowe, of Denby, to have a priest to say daily mass in the chapel of the Blessed Virgin, at Denby; but he was dead in 1491, when Alice, his second wife is described as a widow.

Humphrey Lowe, Esq,, of Denby, the eldest son of Lawrence Lowe, was living in 1516. He was married prior to 1462, to Margaret, daughter and heiress of John Linstone, and had an only daughter and heiress, Mary, who became the wife of William Sacheverell, Esq. The Denby estate, however, devolved upon Vincent Lowe, the second son of Humphrey Lowe, and continued with his descendants.

There is a charter, dated in 1462, whereby Humphrey Lowe, and Margaret, his wife, united with Lawrence Lowe, his father, in granting certain lands in the meadows of Clifton to John Cokayne and Thomas his son.

Park hall

According to Lysons, this Vincent Lowe purchased the manor of Park Hall, in Denby, from Sir Peter Frecheville, about the beginning of the reign of Henry VIII., and settled it upon his younger son, Jasper Lowe, Esq., who succeeded to the Denby estate upon the decease of his elder brother, Vincent, in 1653; and since that time the manors of Denby and Park Hall have continued to be united.

Jasper Lowe died in 1583, having had issue four sons and two daughters. His eldest son, Patrick, who was twenty-one years of age at the time of his father's death, married Jane, daughter of Sir John Harpur, of Swarkestone, and had four children. On the north side of the channel at Denby, there is a mural monument, which from the armorial bearings may be identified as that of Patrick Lowe; but there is no inscription, and as there are no registers belonging to the church extant earlier than the year 1725, the date of his death is unknown.

Patrick Lowe probably left his estates somewhat involved, for in 1627, a Special Act of Parliament (3 Car. I., cap. 13. pr.), was passed to enable his son and successor, Vincent Lowe, of Denbigh, in the county of Derby, Esq., to sell part of his estate for payment of his debts. Vincent Lowe, the only surviving son of Patrick Lowe, was eighteen years of age at the time of St. George's Visitation in 1612, and was living in 1634. He was living in the second year of the reign of King James I., for the tenor bell of Denby Church is inscribed "PATRICKE LOWE, ESQVIRE, ANNO Do. 1604."

Vincent married Anne, daughter of Henry Cavendish, Esq.,of Tutbury, in Staffordshire, by whom he had a son and heir, John Lowe (married to Katherine, daughter of Sir Arthur Pilkington, Bart., of Stanley, in Yorkshire), and nine younger children.

In 1785, upon the death of Richard Lowe, Esq of Denby and Locko Park, the estates devolved upon William Drury, Esq. (grandson of William Drury, Alderman of Nottingham, who married Anne, eldest daughter of John Lowe, Esq., of Denby); and he accordingly assumed the additional name and arms of Lowe, by royal license, July the 10th, 1790. William Drury Ix1we, Esq., died without male issue, July the nth, 1827, leaving Anne, his widow, a life interest in the estates. That lady, whose maiden name was Steer, was baptized at Burton Latimer, in Northampton shire, July the 23rd, 1745, and died at Locko Park, November the 13th, 1848, in her 104th year. Her only daughter and heiress had married Robert Holden, Esq., of Nuthall Temple, in Nottinghamshire, whose eldest son assumed the name and arms of Lowe, by royal license, upon succeeding to the family estates on the decease of his maternal grandmother, the venerable lady above mentioned.

Nuthall Temple

Their third son Colonel Vincent Lowe Esq was an attorney and planter. He immigrated in 1670 to Maryland, USA where he settled on Great Choptank Island in Talbot County, Maryland. He married Elizabeth foster, daughter of Seth Foster and his wife Elizabeth. Vincent served as Attorney general, Surveyor General, member of the Provincial council, member of the Provincial Assembly, justice of the Provincial Court, Board of Deputy Governors, Sheriff of Talbot County.

Colonel Vincent Lowe and Elizabeth Fosters son Vincent Lowe born1720 is more famous for being his sister Jane’s brother. She marries into the well known Calvert Family of Baltimore.

Have not found Vincent’s wife as yet, but they have a son John Henry Lowe born 1745 and seems established either by birth or land ownership in Rockbridge, Virginia.

John Henry marries Margaret. They have Vincent Lowe born 1800; he marries Martha Seybut and has about ten children.

Child number two, William B Lowe marries Anna, then Lucy and has five children in Washing County, Virginia. Of five children, George William Lowe is the first, born 1863 in Rose Hill, Virginia.

George Lowe is sitting on the left. Son James is at the back center.

George marries first Nancy J Sloan born 1857 and they have two children: James Joseph Lowe 1883 and Charles W. Lowe in 1885. Nancy, also known as ‘Nannie’ dies in January 1886. George will marry twice more and have 9 children altogether. George’s last wife Emily Hill dies 7 years after him.

Emily Hill Lowe

The first child, James Joseph Lowe marries Roxie Cunningham, who he meets while working on the railroad in Blount Tennessee and they have three sons and one daughter:
Charles ‘Toby’,
Fred,
Dolph
Juanita

James contracts tuberculosis and they move to California for his health, where Roxie’s sister and husband have a walnut farm. James dies not too long after they move.

The Barker Line (De Calverhall)

2011-03-12T15:28:00.000-08:00

Don, Jack and Tom Lowe are the

24th Great Grandson of Randulph De Calverhall:

Following is the genealogical record of the Barker family of Shropshire, England, from the year 1200 A. D. to the birth in February, 1648, of Samuel Barker, who in March, 1685, settled in New Castle county, Del. This was compiled from data collected through years of careful research by the Rev. William Gibbs Barker, of the Aston Manor branch of the family, who was born in 1811, and died in Philadelphia, 1897

This is a deep rooted English family. The ancestry in America may trace their lineage from four ancestors, all of whom left their English homes in the seventeenth century to try their destiny into the new world.

Samuel Barker, born in 1648, settled in New Castle county, Del., in 1685; Robert Barker and his brother, John Barker (who is sometimes referred to as Francis), settled in Plymouth, Mass., in 1626, having come over with the Pilgrims in 1620; and James Barker, of Shropshire, England, born in 1617, -settled in Rhode Island in or about 1634, having crossed on the ship Mary and John.

Samuel Barker was a descendant of John Barker, of Shropshire, England, who married, in 1549, Elizabeth Hill, a sister of Sir Rowland Hill, the first Protestant Lord Mayor of London. The two Massachusetts Barkers, Robert and John, were descendants of the same Barker family of Shropshire which Samuel Barker, of Delaware, and James Barker, of Rhode Island, are descended.

The Herald's Visitations of Salap commence the.pedigree of this family, whose name appears to have been originally Coverall or Calverhall, with Richard de Coverall, who married Margaret Pigot, and then pass over the intermediate generations to William Barker, also called Coverall, who married the heiress of the Goulstons of Goulston. The connecting links have been supplied from the Court Rolls of the Manors of Warfield and Claverley, and after about 1560 one begins to find parish church registers. In Domesday Book, Nigellus, a clerk, was lord of the manor of Calverhall or Coverhall, after which it passed into the king's hands, and he gave it to William de Dunstanville, who sublet it under the feudal system to these de Calverhalls.

In the reign of Edward II, the overlord of the manor was Bartholomew de Bercermere. In the civil wars which were incessantly waged, he was seized and hanged. The individuals of his manor probably shared in his disgrace and fall, and two of them appear to have fled southward, for in 1327 two men calling themselves le Bercer and le Smythe are found at Hallon and Hilton in the parish of AYarfield, where they probably followed the callings of shepherd and armorer respectively, and founded the two Warfield families of Barker and Smythe. Tradition averred that this Bercer was William de Calverhall; and his descendants, when after two hundred years they settled again the northern part of the county, at Claverley, Wolvcrton and Coleslrarst, seem to have re assumed the name of Covevf ll as an alias, so that they were known by both names. The name Barker is derived from the old Norman "bercer," which signified the elected herdsman of the village or manor.

. Then follow several generations of the de Calverhalls, among them Roger de Calverhall, until the male line as tenants of the manor of Calverhall became extinct, and the estate descended to Agnes de Calverhall, daughter and heiress, who married Hugh Dod, of Edge, whose family possessed Calverhall Manor until 1850.

But we find in 1327 William le Bercer, at Italian, in Warfield, County Salap. His son Roger le Barker, of Hallon, married Alice, who survived him. He died in 1368,possessed of large estates in Hallon. Roger le Barker left two sons:
I. William, of Hallon, married Margery, daughter of William Whorwood, died in 1411;

II. Robert, of Hallon, whose descendants long lived there. William Barker's son, Henry Barker, of Hallon, married Margery, daughter and heiress of Stephen Lovestick, of Hallan, who survived her husband. Henry Barker obtained land at Hallon from William Whorwood, and died in 1438. He left a son, William Barker, of Hallon, gentleman, who enjoyed great estates there, married Ann, daughter of John Colynson Roulowe, of Rowley, in Warfield, and died in 1480. This William Barker left two sons:

I. George Barker, of Hallon, who married Ellen Cumber, of Kinver, County Staff, and had a daughter, Ann Barker, who was the heiress of the Hallon estate; which estate passed by several heiresses to the Davenport family, which still holds it;

II. John, who married Elizabeth, daughter and co-heiress of William Grene, of Aston Manor, in Claverley, Salap, and died at Aston in 1507, leaving a son, John Barker, of Aston, who married Margaret , and died in 1531; she outlived him, and died in 1538.

Humphrey Barker, son of John and Margaret ( ) Barker, had two sons:

I.Thomas Barker (alias Coverall);

II. William Barker (alias Coverall), who married first Margaret, daughter and heiress of John Goulston, of Goulston Cheswardine; she was buried at Claverley, November 26, 1576; and second, Frances, relict of William Whitmore, of Aston; she died in 1538, before her husband, who was buried at Claverley, October 30, 1590.

The children of William and Margaret (Goulston) Barker were as follows:

I. John, married first to Joyce, daughter of Edward Burton, and second, in 1549, to Elizabeth Hill, sister to Sir Rowland Hill, first Protestant Lord Mayor of London, from which latter marriage the Barkers of Wolverton are descended;

II. William, of Colcharat, County Salap, who married Joan, daughter of William Horne, and from whom the Barkers of Colcharat, Hopton Castle and Fairfield are descended;

III. Randulph, who for killing a man fled out of Shropshire, and from whom the Barkers of Little Over and Vale Royal, Chester, are descended;
IV. Richard.

Richard Barker, of Aston Hall, fourth son of William and Margaret (Goulston) Barker, took the oath of allegiance to James I. He was"buried at Claverley, February 12, 1609. His first marriage was with Joyce, daughter of Richard Colclough, and they had children:

I. William, died young, in 1569;

II. John;

III. Frances, died in 1576;

IV. Joan, born in 1572, died young. Mistress Joyce (Colclough) Barker died, and was buried in Claverley, June 25, 1572. Richard Barker then married Mary, daughter of Thomas Grainger; she died, it appears, without issue, and was buried at Claverley, October 9, 1576. The third marriage of Richard Barker was with Agnes Hatton, of Heathton, November 24, 1578.

Their children were:
I. Richard;

II. Elizabeth, born in 1582, died young;

III. Joan, born in 1584;

IV. Philip, born in 1590, died young;

V. Jane, born in 1591, died young;

VI. Thomas, born in 1595. Mistress Agnes (Hatton) Barker survived her husband eight years, died, and was buried at Claverley, April 30, , 1617. Thomas Barker, as the youngest son, inherited Aston Manor. He married in 1621, Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Smythe, of Hilton; Thomas Barker died in 1644, and his wife in 1672; they were the ancestors of the Barkers of Aston Manor. Aston Hall remained in the possession of the Barker family for about three hundred years. It came to John Barker, who died in 1509, with his wife, Elizabeth Grene, the heiress of Aston, and it remained with his descendants until 1748, when Matthias Barker, the heir, sold it. It afterwards passed into the hands of the Bracebridges, and is the original of Irving's Bracebridge Hall.

John Barker, second son of Richard and Joyce (Colclough) Barker, was baptized October 21, 1570. He was church warden at Claverley church in 1620, and was buried there May 11, 1638. He married in 1610 Eleanor, daughter of Nicholas Fregleton; she was baptized at Claverley in 1588, married August 8, 1610, and was buried at Claverley, May 1, 1646. Their son, John Barker, of Aston, was baptized at Claverly, July 11,1611, married Mary , who survived him, and was buried at Claverley, July 28, 1682. They had children:

I. Mary, born in 1636;

II. John, of Nether Hoo, was born in 1641, married in 1700 to Elizabeth Woolryche, and from them are descended the Barkers of Congreve;

III. Frances, born in 1643, died in 1644;

IV. Margerv, born in 1644.

Richard Barker, who died in 1609, had by his wife, Agnes Hatton, a son, Richard Barker, who was baptized October 20, 1579, and buried April 25, 1636. He married Dorothy Whorwood; their children were:

I. Frances, born and died in 1611;

II. Ambrose, baptized August 20,1612, has no known descendants:

III. John Barker, baptized April 21, 1616;

IV. Richard Barker, born in 1625. John Barker, the third of the above named children of Richard and Dorothy (Whorwood) Barker, had several children, as follows: i. Samuel, baptized at Claverley church, Shropshire, England, February 22, 1648, emigrated, it appears, to "New England," Delaware, bought two hundred acres of land on Red Clay Creek, New Castle county, built himself a residence thereon, married and left numerous descendants, died in 1720, and was buried in Old Swedes' churchyard, Wilmington, Del., July 25, 1720 (see church records); ii. Anne, born in 1651, died in 1713; iii. Sarah, born in 1653; iv. Joseph, born in 1656, from whom the Barkers of Coleshill, Warwickshire, England, are descended; v. Jeremiah, born in 1660, has no known descendants.

The oldest Barker family document extant is believed to be one of which the following is a copy. It was written by Elizabeth, widow of Matthias Barker, of Ashton Manor, who died in 1727, aged 45.

"The life of Matthias Barker represented to his children.

"Thy father was a strict observer of the Sabbath, a constant Frequenter of the Ordinances, a diligent Reader of God's "Word; a Reprover of Vice and an Encouragcr of Virtue; a diligent Instructor of his Family; he was much in Praying, Laborious in his Calling, Serviceable to his Neighbors and Faithful to his Friends. In a Word, he was Temperate, Meek, Patient, Peaceable, Humble, Honest, and Heavenly-minded. These and the like Virtues were conspicuous in Thy Father: Go thou and do likewise: Luke 10th, v. 57. Tho' your Father be dead and buried, let his Virtues live in your Practice.

"Altho' your father in the grave be laid,

Tread you his steps; you need not be afraid

But you the heaven of heavens shall see,

And reign with Him to all eternity."

The Hallon Manor, in Warfield, County Salap, the original family seat of the Barker family, was in possession of the Barkers for two hundred and fifty years when the heiress married one of the Wanuertons. It was called Ballon, after a Saxon chief of that name, who fought a battle in the fields below, and crossed the river at the spot now called Hallon's Ford.

With regard to the wives of these Barker ancestors: The Pigots of Willaston were an old Shropshire family, claiming descent from one Roger Picot, who came from Normandy, in 1066; the Whorwoods of Compton and Babbington were a Staffordshire family who afterwards intermarried a good deal with the Barkers. William Whorwood left some lands in Hallon to Henry, son of William Barker; of the Lovesticks of Hallon nothing is known, but Margery was a considerable heiress; the name is probably a corruption from Lestock, the Rowleys of Rowley are an old and renowned Warfield family, their original name being Roulowe. One of Anne's ancestors, Roger de Roulowe, was slain at Evesham,fighting oncof the rebellious barons, but the name was probably Saxon rather than Norman in its origin; the Grenes of Aston; it was by marriage with their heiress that the Barkers obtained most of the Aston estate. The pedigree goes back for several generations, but with no detail; they seem to have been originally Yorkshire folk. The Colcloughs were an old Staffordshire family of consideration; Richard, the father of Joyce, was mayor of Newcastle-under-Tyne in 1478, and married a daughter of the well known Davenport family.

The descendants of Samuel Barker (1685) of New Castle county, Del., as compiled by Jesse J. Barker, of Philadelphia, in 1898, are as follows:

Samuel Barker was baptized in Claverley church, County Salap, England, February 22,1648. To Samuel Barker a grant was made by William Penn, March 27,' 1685, of two hundred acres of land in Christiana hundred, near what is now called Barker's Bridge, Del. This was the old homestead of the Barker family, and remained in their hands until the death of William Barker, about 1840. Samuel Barker, 1, died intestate in July, 17:20, at an advanced age, and was buried in Old Swedes' churchyard, in Wilmington, Del., July 25, 1720. He left four children:

I. Joseph, 2, who died about January, 1755;

II. Daniel, 2, who died about 1750;

III. Mary, 2, married in St. Paul's church, Chester, Pa., September 25, 1706, to William Richardson;

IV. Anna (Mrs. William Hicks). All of these children left descendants.

Joseph Barker, 2, son of Samuel Barker, 1, was married September 27, 1716, in Old Swedes' church, Wilmington, to Johanna Clayton. He died about January 20, 1755, which was the date of probate of his will, leaving three children, but no widow; both his wife and their daughter, Maria, born September 24, 1718, having apparently died before him. The surviving children were:

I. Samuel, 3;

He and Abner were large and successful merchants there, prospering greatly. Jesse Barker withdrew from the time about 1807 or 1808, and after traveling for a time, settled in Paris, France, where he became a banker and broker in the Bursae, and made a large fortune.

Judith De Bretange, wife of Richard the II.

A Benedictine Abbey was founded at Bernay in the beginning of the 11th century By Judith De Bretange, wife of Richard the II. Bernay was founded in 1025 on the lands which Richard II gave to his wife Judith of Brittany when they married. On her death the Duke recalled that she had dedicated her dower for the construction of the Abbey and he wished to continue her work, entrusting the new community directly to William of Dijon abbot of Fecamp, and his successors.

Constructed in stone, the abbey church included a nave, seven bays with aisles, a transept, a choir of two bays that culminated in a cul-de-sac four(vaulting formed by a semi cupola). Fragments from Gallo-Roman construction were used in the foundation. Despite modifications and attempts at deconstruction and reconstruction, this Abbey Church is one of the most interesting monuments of Romanesque architecture in Normandy.

The abbey-church, the nave of which is remarkable for its severe simplicity and unadorned elegance, is now used as a corn and linen market. In the abbey-building3 the sub prefect and the mayor reside, and the courts of justice are held. The other important buildings are the churches of Sainte-Croix and De-laCouture, the college and the hospital.

The town was fortified in the 13th century, and was then a place of importance for its market, its fairs, and its woollen manufactures. It was often taken in the wars between the French and English. The fortifications were demolished in 1589.

The chief manufactures of Bernay are woolen-cloth; but flannels, tape, linen, leather, &c, are made. There are also dye-houses and bleaching establishments, and a good trade in corn, cider, iron, paper, hides, and cattle. One of the greatest horse-fairs in France is held here during the fifth week of Lent. Beaumont-lc-Roger, on the right bank of the Rille, and near the fine forest of Beaumont, was formerly defended by a castle, which was for centuries an object of contention with the Normans, French, and English, but which is now in ruins. The town has cloth-factories, bleach-works, glass-works, and 2063 inhabitants.

Of the castle, which was originally built about 1040, there are scarcely any remains; but on the summit of the rocky height on which it stood are the picturesque ruins of an ancient abbey. Brionnc, N.E. of Bernay, an ancient town on though right bank of the Rille, has 3098 inhabitants, who manufacture broad-cloth, oil, and cotton-yarn.

Four Roman roads met at Brionne: some Roman remains are seen in the adjacent forest. The Norman castle that formerly commanded the town is now in ruins.

Richard ‘The Fearless” and Richard ‘The Good’.

The continued history of The Dukes of Normandy

Richard ‘The Fearless”

Richard I of Normandy was born 28 August 933, in Fécamp Normandy, France died 20 November 996, in Fécamp. He was the Duke of Normandy from 942 to 996; he is considered the first to actually have held that title. He was called Richard the Fearless (French, 'Sans Peur').

He was born to William I of Normandy, ruler of Normandy, and Sprota.. Richard, though not born in legitimate wedlock—this was almost the rule in the Norman line—was unanimously accepted as his successor. His mother was a Breton concubine who was captured in war and bound to William by a Danish marriage. After William died, Sprota became the wife of Esperleng, a wealthy miller; Rodulf of Ivry was their son and Richard's half-brother.

Richard The Fearless being young found the administration of public affairs was undertaken by four Norman nobles, the chief of whom was Bernard, Count of Harcourt, usually called Bernard the Dane. Louis d' Outremer, King of France, who owed his crown to William Long-sword, with base ingratitude, plotted with Hugh the Great, Count of Paris, to deprive William's youthful son and successor of his dominions. For this purpose Louis led a large army into Normandy, under the pretext of avenging the murder of William Long-sword; but after being received at Rouen as a friend, he seized on the person of the youthful Duke Richard the Fearless, and sent him off to Paris under the pretense of having him properly educated.

Louis kept him in confinement in his youth at Lâon but he escaped with the assistance of his tutor Osmond de Centville , Bernard de Senlis (who had been a companion of Rollo of Normandy), Ivo de Bellèsme, and Bernard the Dane (ancestor of families of Harcourt and Beaumont).This faithful attendant went to the castle of Laon, where Richard was confined, and, under the pretense of going to feed his horse, conveyed him out of the castle enveloped in a truss of hay. They proceeded to the residence of the Count de Senlis, Richard's maternal uncle, safely.

In the meantime the gratitude of a prince who had been benefited by William Longsword was about to be displayed by the restoration of William's son to his dominions. Bernard, Count of Harcourt, had successfully exerted himself to arouse discord between the King of France and the Count of Paris, and had also sent a secret message to Harald Bluetooth, King of Denmark, informing him of the condition of affairs, and entreating him to assist in delivering Normandy from the dominion of the King of France.
King Harald Bluetooth came at the first summons; and the Normans, under the leadership of Bernard of Harcourt, joined him. The King of France was unable to stand up against the combined forces in the field, and requested an interview to arrange terms of peace. While Kings Harald Bluetooth and Louis d' Outremer were discussing the conditions, a Norman who recognized Herbin, Count of Montreuil, in the French king's army, bitterly reproached him for his ingratitude; and when Herbin made a haughty reply, a Dane who was present struck him dead. This was the signal for a general engagement, which began before the Kings of France and Denmark were aware of it. The battle ended in the total defeat of the French, and King Louis d' Outremer was taken prisoner. The captive monarch was treated with great respect, but was obliged to restore Normandy to young Richard the Fearless, and to pay a heavy ransom for his freedom.

Richard the Fearless inherited noble qualities of the Norman race, and preserved the security and tranquillity of his dominions, though surrounded by formidable foes. His marriage with the daughter of Hugh the Great, Count of Paris, alarmed King Louis d' Outremer, who accordingly entered into an alliance with King Otho II. of Germany, King Conrad of Burgundy and Count Arnold of Flanders, to overwhelm both the Duke of Normandy and the Count of Paris. But the allies were unsuccessful. After failing to make any impression on Paris they marched into Normandy, but Richard cut off some of their best troops in an ambush, and kept them from the walls of Rouen with great loss.

He married 1st (960) Emma (not to be confused with Emma of France), daughter of Hugh "The Great" of France, and Hedwiga de Sachsen. They were betrothed when both were very young. She died 19 Mar 968, with no children. According to Robert of Torigni, not long after Emma's death, Duke Richard went out hunting and stopped at the house of a local forester. He became charmed by the forester's wife, Seinfreda, but she was a virtuous woman and suggested he court her unmarried sister, Gunnor. She became his mistress, and her family rose to prominence. Gunnor was, like Richard, of Norse descent, being a Dane by blood. Richard finally married and legitamized their children.

On the death of Hugh the Great, Count of Paris, Duke Richard the Fearless was appointed guardian to his minor children, and by his fidelity in the execution of that office he again aroused the hostility of the King of France. The Normans were everywhere successful, after a long struggle, and Richard finally triumphed over them and the forces of his enemies, forcing them to beg for peace. In A. D. 987 Hugh Capet, the son of Count Hugh the Great, with the aid of his former guardian, made himself King of France; so that the Norman duke had a friend on the French throne. Duke Richard the Fearless spent the rest of his reign in profound peace; and at his death, in A. D. 996, the duchy of Normandy was one of the most flourishing states in Europe.
Richard was bilingual, having been well educated at Bayeux. He was more partial to his Danish subjects than to the Franks. During his reign, Normandy became completely Gallicized and Christianized. He introduced the feudal system and Normandy became one of the most thoroughly feudalized states on the continent. He carried out a major reorganization of the Norman military system, based on heavy cavalry.
At the period which we have reached in English history, Richard the Fearless was a middle-aged man of fifty-five years. He had been reigning for forty-five years, and was the father of a numerous progeny. In the year 996 he died and was succeeded by his son Richard the Good

Richard ‘The Good’
Richard II-‘The Good’ succeeded his father as Duke of Normandy in 996 but the first five years of his reign were spent with Count Ralph of Ivry wielding power and putting down a peasant insurrection .The early portion of his reign was disturbed by a peasant insurrection and by a rebellion of his illegitimate brother, the Count de Hiemes. After subduing the rebels, Richard the Good confined his brother in prison for five years. The brother finally made his escape, when he suddenly appeared in a squalid dress before Richard while hunting, and earnestly besought forgiveness. The duke granted him his pardon and restored all his former possessions.

When he took power he strengthened his alliance with the Capetians by helping Robert II of France against the duchy of Burgundy.

At this period Ethelred the Unready was King of England, and maintained himself against the Danes with great difficulty. In order to obtain a powerful ally, he married Emma, sister to Duke Richard the Good of Normandy; but all the assistance that he could procure failed to repel the invasion of Sweyn, King of Denmark. King Ethelred the Unready was obliged to flee from England and to live for some time in exile at the court of his Norman brother-in-law.

Robert the Pious, King of France, having united with some of the princes bordering on Normandy, Duke Richard the Good found himself unable to resist the allies without aid, and he accordingly solicited the aid of the Danes. The Danes sent a large army to Richard's aid, but the Norman duke soon discovered that his allies were more injurious to his cause than were his enemies. The King of France having agreed on terms of peace, the Danes were so enraged at losing the prospect; of plunder that they turned their arms against Brittany and perpetrated the most dreadful outrages in that province; so that Duke Richard the Good was obliged to bribe them to retire by the payment of a large sum of money. The intercourse between Denmark and Normandy seems to have declined thenceforth.

The character of Duke Richard the Good for honor was so great that Geoffrey, Count of Brittany, with whom the duke had been frequently at war, nominated Richard for regent of that province while he was absent on a pilgrimage. Geoffrey was killed by accident, but Richard acted as a faithful guardian to his children, and when they attained their majority he gave them immediate possession of their father's territories.
On the death of King Ethelred the Unready, in A. D. 1016, Canute the Great, King of Denmark, Sweyn's son, became King of England; whereupon Ethelred's widow, Emma, and her two children were obliged to take refuge at her brother's court in Normandy. The Norman duke prepared to invade England in his sister's behalf, but his fleet was shattered by a storm, whereupon he concluded peace with Canute the Great and gave him Emma as his wife.

The sons of Ethelred the Unready seemed thus to have lost all chance of inheriting the throne of England; but the sons and successors of Canute the Great died several years later without heirs, and Edward the Confessor, one of Ethelred's sons, returned from exile and became King of England.

Richard the Good died in A. D. 1027, after a long and peaceful reign, leaving behind him two sons, Richard and Robert. RICHARD III. died the next year after his father (A. D. 1028), after a reign of eighteen months, suspected of having been poisoned by his brother Robert, who became his successor on the ducal throne of Normandy, and who is called ROBERT THE DEVIL.

The early portion of Robert's reign was disturbed by uprisings, but he subdued his foes so completely that he considered it safe for him to go on a pilgrimage to Palestine. His health was thoroughly undermined by the climate of Asia, so that he was obliged to complete his journey in a litter. Another Norman pilgrim, returning from Jerusalem, met Robert, who was carried by four Saracens, and asked the duke what account he should give of him on his return. Robert replied: "Tell my friends that you saw me borne into Paradise by four devils." The invalid duke died on his return at Nice, in Bithynia, without any legitimate heir.

An illegitimate daughter of Richard I, sometimes called "Papia", is also at times given as a daughter of Richard II. Tancred of Hauteville's two wives Muriella and Fredensenda are likewise given as daughters of "Duke Richard of Normandy", referring to either Richard I or Richard II.

Should you have the good fortune to visit this regions Touring by car can be fun, but if you really want to feel the nature and history of your holiday destination, you might want to leave the car behind and enjoy the delights of Normandy on foot, horseback or bicycle. Normandy is literally criss-crossed with rivers and abundant opportunities for first class fishing and exploration by canoe and kayak.

An ideal region for touring by bicycle, with quiet roads and respect from drivers. Its countryside is friendly and cycling not too arduous, its coastline beautiful and interior lush. The coast, the inland farms and villages provide enchanting and varied vistas. So, plan your route, make sure you can get to a pretty destination like Barfleur or Honfleur for lunch and get to know this rich part of France in person.

Renowned for its green landscapes, horses, cider and cheeses has an added rare asset - its rivers. This is one of the best regions in France to fish for salmon, and is undisputedly the best region for sea-trout. Its rivers contain the famous brown trout, and the lakes and marshlands are also populated with good quantities of pike and other carnivorous fish.

Guillaume (William) I Duke of Normandy "Long Sword"

2010-08-17T20:31:00.000-07:00

He is 17th Great Grandfather of Frances Braden Hooks Hensel. My Maternal grandmother.

William I Longsword (French: Guillaume Longue-Épée, Latin: Willermus Longa Spata, Scandinavian: Vilhjálmr Langaspjót; 893 – 17 December 942) was the second Duke of Normandy from his father's death until his own assassination. The title dux (duke) was not in use at the time and has been applied to early Norman rulers retroactively; William actually used the title comes (count) .

He is Rollo and Poppa’s son. William succeeded his father about 927. He first appears in 933 as a leader of the Normans ["Willelmus, princeps Nordmannorum, eidem regi se committit; cui etiam rex dat terram Brittonum in ora maritima sitam." Flodoard, Annales, s.a. 933, 55; van Houts (2000), 45], In William's day the Rollonid principality was still a fragile entity centered around Rouen and, in terms of Realpolitik, not extending far west of the Seine His early years are obscure, Dudo of Saint-Quentin states that he was born in Rouen and, in a later passage, describes him as a "young man" one year before his father's death His father chose him as heir one year before his death. Guillaume de Jumièges records that he was born before his father's marriage to Gisela and his remarriage with Popa after Gisela's death.. He often had rebellion early in his reign from the Normans who felt he had become too much like the French. He quelled a rebellion by the Viking chief Riulf after the latter besieged Rouen. In return for swearing allegiance to Raoul King of France, he appears to have been granted rights to further territory along the coast in 933, maybe the Cotentin and Avranchin. If this is correct, it would have created rivalry with the dukes of Brittany. He was known to continually want to expand his territories by conquering or extracting them from Louis IV for the price of homage .Responding to raids by Guillaume, Arnoul I Count of Flanders invaded Ponthieu and in 939 captured Montreuil from Herluin Comte de Ponthieu, although it was recaptured by Guillaume's forces. In 939, Guillaume joined the alliance against Louis IV King of France which was led by Otto I "der Große" King of Germany (Hugh The Great) who raided Frankish territory. Guillaume, however, met King Louis at Amiens, receiving a confirmation of the grant of his lands in Normandy. Guillaume de Jumièges records that Guillaume was tricked into a meeting on the river Seine at Pecquigny by Arnoul Count of Flanders to settle their dispute over the castle of Montreuil, but was murdered on Count Arnoul's orders, recording his death on 17 Dec

The Planctus

A Planctus (mourning poem) was composed probably shortly after; Jules Lair suggests plausibly if not definitively that it was in 943. (Catalog references: Chevalier 10576; Walther 10205; Schaller & Ewald Könsgen 8813; Yearley L81.) Two manuscripts of the planctus survive, both dating from the early 11th century. Neither is very good, and both are apparently derived from an earlier version that does not survive.

It is by far the earliest work written about the Normans from a Norman point of view, and some historical nuggets can be gleaned from it.

His son Richard the Fearless, child of his first wife, Sprota, succeeded him. William also left a widow, Liègard (Liutgard), who died in 985.

Rollo Rolf aka Robert I Duke of Normandy

2010-07-23T16:22:00.000-07:00

Rollo the Brave, Duke of Normandy:
(Related to Frances Braden Hooks Hensel. Rollo is her 18th Great Grandfather)

Also known as Rollo I, Robert I Duke of Normandy, and even Rollo Count of Normandy. Some even consider he is also Hrolf Ganger ‘Hrolf the Walker’ Rolf the Walker, because, being so tall, he preferred to go afoot rather than ride the little Norwegian horses. He was born 870 in Norway, and died 931 in France.
My excitement when I finally managed to trace a line as far back as 870 was joyful to say the least, this is as far back as I have the Hensel family traced to Viking Invaders of Britain; Hengst & Horsa. Again I find various family trees either fighting with each other or against each other.

Rollo was a Danish Prince according to the Norman Dudo of Saint-Quentin ("De Moribus et Actis Primorum Normanniae Ducum"). Rollo, or Rolf, was the son of Rögnvald, Earl of Möre. Chronicle sources, which are not always reliable, note that he was exiled from Norway because of lawlessness; He was expelled from Norway for an act of depredation in Viking contrary to the King's commands, having descended on the coast between Norway and Goth land and carried off the cattle wanted by his crew. His mother pleaded in vain for him, but for this act Rollo was declared an outlaw probably about 900.

Rollo arrived in Gaul between 905 and 911. During these years he became famous, and stories about him circulated in his homeland. The possible founding of Normandy may have been a direct result of the difficulty they found themselves in when invading England, now that it was becoming more organized in resisting them. To allay these attacks, Charles the Simple, in 911 made a pact with the leader of the Vikings. Rollo's name figured prominently in the treaty between King Charles of France and the Seine Vikings. By that famous agreement, the Vikings received control of the territory at the mouth of the Seine in return for certain services to the King. Rollo himself was granted Upper Normandy (the territory between the Epte River and the sea), and he was converted to Christianity and baptized by the archbishop of Rouen. Rouen was the capital of the ecclesiastical province of Normandy, which Rollo's successors later added to their initial territory

The recent history of the islands can therefore be traced back quite clearly to Norman times and Islanders proudly state that their ancestors were part of Guillaume who conquered England in 1066, he became King William I as well as Duke of Normandy. However when King John lost the territory of Normandy to Philip II of France, the Channel Islands remained loyal to the English crown. In return for this loyalty, King John granted to the islands, certain rights and privileges in 1215, which enabled them to be virtually self-governing, subject only to Royal ascent and enactments through the Privy Council. In 1294 a large part of the Guernsey population were killed in French raids. In fact over the ensuing centuries, possession of the islands switched back and forth between the English and French six times. Large castles were built most of which still survive today.

The early Norman rulers consolidated their position by marriages with the first level of French noble families. At the same time, the early rulers clung to the Scandinavian tradition of concubinage: the mothers of Counts Richard I and Richard II were probably both of relatively obscure Viking descent and recorded by the chronicler Guillaume of Jumièges as having been married "à la Danoise". Back in 886 AD, Rollo’s group attacked Bayeaux, Brittany and killed their Count Berenger. He then took the Count’s daughter, Poppa, as his "Danish Wife". This common practice was accepted by laymen. The two contracting parties knew that if better social or political prospects appeared, such a marriage could be ended without a complex church divorce This appears to have presented no obstacle to their subsequent accession as dukes.

Rollo was renamed Robert and married princess Gisele, as part of the 911 treaty, Charles gave Rollo his daughter, Giselle, but there were no children from this marriage. Since there are no official records of this marriage, it is possible that Giselle was the 'Natural Daughter' of the King. Now he was the son-in-law of the King of France. When she died a few years later, he returned to a former mistress or à la Danoise": Poppa.

Rollo possibly had about fourteen children but the four known to us today were probably Poppa’s.

"Papie", "Poppa of Bayeux", "Poppe de Rennes", "Poppa de Valois", "Papia"Duchesse de Normandie, Hertiginna av Normandie, Papia de Valois, Duchess of Normandy.

All that is known of Poppa is that she was a Christian, and the daughter to Berengar of Rennes, the previous lord of what (Brittania Nova) became Normandy. They settled in Neustria in France at the beginning of the 10th Century, when King Charles the Simple conferred the duchy, since called Normandy on Rollo, the Dane, and the most celebrated of the Norman leaders. Thus Rollo's outlawry led to the establishment of the Dukes of Normandy, who became, through William the Conqueror, King of England, 5th in descent from Rollo. (Kin of Mellcene Thurman Smith, page 278)
The children of Rollo & Poppa:

Adele Hrólfsdóttir de Normandie (c.897 - 962)

Her original name was Geirlaug or Gerloc, but she was baptised in Rouen as Adela (or Adèle) in 912. She was the sister of Duke William Long sword.

In 935, she married William or Guillaume Towhead, the future count of Poitou and duke of Aquitaine. She gave him two children before dying on 14 October 962:

* William IV of Aquitaine

* Adelaide of Aquitaine, wife of Hugh Capet

She adopted the name ADELA when baptized. "Guillelmi comitis, Adeleidis comitisse" subscribed a charter recording a donation to Cluny dated [963][69]. Lothaire King of France granted her 14 Oct 962 the right to dispose of extensive property in Poitiers, la Cour de Faye, this grant effectively putting an end to the long dispute between her husband and the family of Hugues "Capet". She used the property to found the Monastery of Sainte-Trinité[70].

William 'Langaspjót' Guillaime 'Longue-Épeé' de Normandie, I (900 – 942

William I Longsword (French: Guillaume Longue-Épée, Latin: Willermus Longa Spata, Scandinavian: Vilhjálmr Langaspjót; 893 – 17 December 942) was the second Duke of Normandy from his father's death until his own assassination. The title dux (duke) was not in use at the time and has been applied to early Norman rulers retroactively; William actually used the title comes (count).

Little is known about his early years. He was born in Bayeux or Rouen. According to the William's planctus, he was baptized a Christian.

William succeeded Rollo sometime around 927. It appears that he faced a rebellion early in his reign; from Normans who felt he had become too Gallicised. Subsequent years are obscure. In 939 William became involved in a war with Arnulf I of Flanders, which soon became intertwined with the other conflicts troubling the reign of Louis IV. He was killed by followers of Arnulf while at a meeting to settle their conflict. His son Richard the Fearless, child of his first wife, Sprota, succeeded him. William also left a widow, Liègard (Liutgard), who died in 985.http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillaume_Ier_de_Normandie

Rollo died about 931. According to the historian Adhemar, 'As Rollo's death drew near, he went mad and had a hundred Christian prisoners beheaded in front of him in honour of the gods whom he had worshipped, and in the end distributed a hundred pounds of gold around the churches in honour of the true God in whose name he had accepted baptism.' Even though Rollo had converted to Christianity, some of his prior religious roots surfaced at the end.

Philip de Braose ;Lord of Briouze and Bramber, born about 1076, of Bramber, Sussex, England, and Briouze, Normandy, d 1134-1135, Holy Land, Palestine. He married Aenor de Totnes about 1104. She was the daughter of Juhel de Totnes and Daughter de Picquigny.

Father: William de Braose, 1st Lord of Bramber
Mother: Eve de Boissey
Philip is recorded as consenting to his father's gifts to his canons at St Nicholas church at Bramber in 1073 and confirmed those gifts to the abbey of St Florent in 1096. He was the first Braose Lord of Builth and Radnor, their initial holding in the Welsh Marches. Philip seems to have gone on the First Crusade and returned in 1103. Old Shoreham was part of his demesne lands where St Nicolas church (right) had stood since Saxon times. Philip expanded trade in the area by founding the port of New Shoreham. His lands were confiscated by Henry I in 1110, due to his traitrous support of William, son of Robert Curthose, but they were returned in 1112.

There are charters where Robert de Harcourt's sons, Philip and Richard, refer to Philip de Braose as "patruus" - paternal uncle. This lends weight to the theory that Robert de Harcourt and Philip de Braose were both sons of Eve de Boissey. In another record dated 1103 (Pipe Roll Soc. Vol 71 no 544) it is stated that Philip de Braose was represented by "his brother Robert, the son of Anketill".
Philips son William de Braose,Lord of Abergavenny, was born about 1106. He married Bertha of Hereford, daughter of Sir Miles Fitz Walter, Earl of Hereford, and Sibyl de Neufmarche.

Eventually the land came into the hands of the Braose family. William was a great favourite of King John and was also Lord of his Main seat at Bramber (1144-9th August 1211) Lord of Gower, Abergavenny, Brecknock, Builth, Radnor, Kington, Limerick, Glamorgan,Skenfrith, Briouze in Normandy, Grosmont, and White Castle Gwyn, and so owned all three Norman Castles in the area.William was very powerful.

He married Bertha de Pitres, the daughter of Miles Fitzwalter Earl of Hereford, then Maud de St Valery.

In spite of his later misdeeds, Williams early life was spent making a name for himself. Being a third son he had to make his way in the world. 1192, he was made Sheriff of Hereford, a post he held until 1199 and 1196 was made Justice Itinerant for Staffordshire.

King Richard the Lionheart of England

William accompanied Richard to Chalus in 1199 and the King was mortally wounded there.
He then supported King John's claim to the throne of England, supported the new king in making various royal grants and was in attendance with John in Normandy at the time of Arthur of Brittany's death in 1203. Arthur was John's nephew and was seen by many as the rightful heir to the English throne. He was the son of Geoffrey,his uncle who was the son of Henry II. Richard, believing John would be an unwise and incompetent king, had designated Arthur as his successor. In 1203, for some reason, Arthur was put in charge of William. William had personally captured Arthur in 1202 at the Battle of Mirabeau. Arthur was caused to disappear and to die and so the obstacle to John’s Coronation was removed, although no concrete evidence ever came to light. There is somewhat better evidence that he at least knew the truth of the matter, which made it important for John to reward him well.
William was ruthless. He became fed up with the constant onslaughts of the Welsh under Seisyll am Dyfnwal-(s-eye-slith am Duvun-wath-approx ) The Chronicle of the Princes records the deed. Pretending to want to make peace, William invited Seisyll and his men to the castle and prepared a sumptuous meal before the parley. At the height of the meal, a signal was given during scene of joy and merrymaking; the Normans fell upon the Welsh and killed every one. There was no escape. This burned in the Welsh people as the worst betrayal ever. Worse was that the French made for Seisyll’s court and seized his wife Gwladys and slew his son, too young to fight. The Welsh chronicle continues ‘from that time forward, after that treachery, none dared place trust in the French.’
Gerald of Wales describes the aftermath, while travelling through Abergavenny trying to raise men to take the Cross in 1188 with the Archbishop of Canterbury.

dow Burning with revenge, they concealed themselves in the overgrown ditches of Abergavenny Castle, which they had occupied while the Castellan was away. The previous day, a man called Seisyll the son of Eudas, had said to the constable as if warning him, but apparently more for a joke and a laugh than seriously:’this is where we shall climb tonight’. As he spoke, he pointed to the corners of the wall, where it seemed to be lower than elsewhere.
The Constable and his household stayed on guard all night, refusing to take off their amour and remaining on the alert until first light. In the end, tired out by their vigil and feeling safe now that day had dawned, they all retired to bed. Thereupon their enemies dragged the scaling ladders, which they had prepared to the precise corner of the walls which Sessile had pointed out. The Constable and his wife were captured and so were most of the men. A few escaped, finding refuge in the Keep. The Welsh occupied the castle and burnt the whole place down.(Welsh Chronicle of the Princes)
The possibility was that even then in 1182, the keep was a stone building with a thick oak door
Finally de Braose’s ambition and violence made him a problem for King John. Perhaps William, swollen with power and ambition tried to blackmail King John for more lands and money, and John considered that he was a threat. But soon after this William de Braose fell out of favour with King John of England. King John publicly cited overdue monies that de Braose owed the Crown from his estates. But the King's actions went far beyond what would be necessary to recover the debt. He distained de Braose's English estates in Sussex and Devon and sent a force to invade Wales to seize the de Braose domains there. Beyond that, he sought de Braose's wife Maud who, the story goes, had made no secret of her belief that King John had murdered Arthur of Brittany. Gerald of Wales describes Maud de St. Valery, as a 'prudent and chaste woman' who bore her husband three sons William, Giles and Reginald de Braose.

De Braose fled to Ireland, then returned to Wales as King John had him hunted in Ireland. In Wales, William then allied himself to the Welsh Prince Llywelyn the Great and helped him in rebellion against King John!
Death and Disgrace for a Murderer-and the Murder of Maud and William
In 1210, William de Braose fled Wales in disguise as a beggar, to France. His wife and eldest son were captured, and he died the following year in August 1211 at Corbeil, France. He is buried in the Abbey of St. Victor in Paris by a fellow exile and vociferous opponent of John of England, Stephen Langton, the Archbishop of Canterbury. His hopes to return alive to Wales and a burial in Brecon were to be unfulfilled. William's wife, Maud, and eldest son, William, once captured were murdered by King John, possibly starved to death incarcerated in Windsor Castle and Corfe Castle in 1210.

de Braose

2010-03-15T23:18:00.000-07:00

William De Braose of Briouze, Normandy.
( William De Braose is the 25th Great Grandfather of Frances (Braden) Hooks nee Hensel)

William de Braose, First Lord of Bramber born 1049 in Briouze, nobleman who participated in the victory at the Battle of Hastings in support of William the Conqueror as he and his followers invaded and controlled Saxon. His name at this early stage would have been Guillaume de Briouze.

De Braose was given lands in Sussex at Bramber in 1073, where he was lord of the Rape of Bramber and where he built Bramber Castle. De Braose was also awarded lands in the Welsh Marches and became one of the most powerful of the new Lords of the early Norman era. He held other lands including Guibray at Falaise, where one of the greatest trading fairs of Normandy took place. Sussex was divided into "rapes" for administrative and defensive purposes. The King created a lordship for each rape and the lord strengthened his position by developing a major castle and a port. Trade with Normandy soon flourished, free from interference by English rebels or invaders such as the French or the Danes.

He continued to bear arms alongside King William in campaigns in England and Maine in France. King William distributed manors across the country to his companions but he chose his best warriors to defend the coast of Sussex.

William de Braose was a pious man and made considerable grants to the Abbey of St, Florent, Samur and to endow the formation of a Priory at Sele, West Sussex near Bramber and a Priory at Briouze. William's mother Gunnor became a nun at the Abbey of Holy Trinity in Caen, known as the Abbaye aux Dames . Like Queen Matilda who founded the abbey, Gunnor was probably buried there. The River Adur was wider and deeper than it is today and it had a thriving port at Steyning, just north of Bramber Castle. The port belonged to an important Saxon church, Saint Cuthman's. King Æthelwulf was originally buried there in 858. In 1043 Edward the Confessor granted Saint Cuthman's Church to the Benedictine Abbey of Fécamp in Normandy. The monks of Fécamp had given Edward refuge during his long period of exile in Normandy. Later, as King of England, Edward rewarded their hospitality. The port was significantly placed on a navigable river and seemed to represent an "open door" for a Norman successor to King Edward, who was childless.

De Braose had built a bridge at Bramber and demanded tolls from ships travelling further along the river to the busy port at Steyning. The monks also challenged Bramber's right to bury people in the churchyard of William de Braose's new church of Saint Nicholas, and demanded the burial fees for themselves, despite it being built to serve the castle not the town. The monks then produced forged documents to defend their position and were unhappy with the failure of their claim on Hastings which were very similar. The monks claimed the same freedoms and land tenure in Hastings as King Edward had given them at Steyning. Though on a technicality William was bound to uphold all aspects of the status quo before Edward's death, the monks had already been expelled 10 years before that death. King William wanted to hold Hastings for himself for strategic reasons and ignored the problem until 1085, when he confirmed their Steyning claims but swapped the Hastings claim for land in the manor of Bury (near Pulborough in Sussex). In 1086 the King William called his sons, Barons and Bishops to court (the last time an English king presided personally, with his full court, to decide a matter of law) to settle this. It took a full day, and the Abbey won over the baron, forcing William de Braose to curtail his bridge tolls, give up various encroachments onto the Abbey's lands, including a farmed rabbit warren, a park, eighteen burgage plots, a causeway, and a channel to fill his moat, and organise a mass exhumation and transfer of all Bramber's dead to the churchyard of Saint Cuthman's Church in Steyning.

William de Braose was succeeded as Lord of Bramber by his son, Philip William de Braose was present for the consecration of a church in his hometown of Briouze near Falaise in Normandy France whence the name de Braose originates, in 1093, so we know he was still alive in that year. However, his son Philip was issuing charters as Lord of Bramber in 1096, indicating that William de Braose died sometime between those dates probably at Bramber.

The latest evidence for William is his presence at the consecration of his church at Briouze in 1093. In 1096 his son Philip was issuing charters. From this we can deduce that William died between 1093 and 1096.

Brydges edition of Collins' Peerage claims he was first married to Agnes, dau of Waldron de Saint Clare but no evidence for this can be found. It may be an example of Bruce - Braose confusion.

According to L C Perfect, a 13th century genealogy in the Bibliothèque de Paris gives the name of his wife as Eve de Boissey, widow of Anchetil de Harcourt. There is a lot of evidence from contemporary charters which supports this view.

*Bramber Castle - Sussex is haunted;

The ghosts of William de Braose are seen here crying for food. The ghosts normaly appear in the month of December. King John besieged the castle and captured his de Braose's children and imprisoned them where they starved to death.

*More on this family to follow.

I am an avid collector of old photos. I have scanned boxes of photos from all sides of the family and I am still looking for more. Then, there is the scrapbooking. Most know I am an enthusiastic scrapper with my Australian girls at Chookscraps.com. Outside of my childhood friends (a majority not yet/or ever will be cyber) these gals have been a great way to stay connected in some way to a country I still consider 'home.' Not only funny, but inspiring and a great group to be a part of. I have been lucky to meet one or two of these new cyber friends IRL.

What has this got to do with Genealogy? Scrapbooking gives me the delightful craft of using a photo to help tell the story....with accessories. * wink *

Here are some examples;

Recently Ancestry.com added a passport search feature-which is really fantastic because it often includes a photo. So I started seeing these previously unseen relatives-or ones I could now identify in some of the boxes of pictures I have. Some wonderful tidbits of information on these people, family and travels. But travel was definitely a luxury of the wealthy or those needing to migrate for family.

Wihlemina Koehler was the 5th daughter of the paternal Hensel ancestor , John Gotleib Hensel ,. who migrated from Germany to Philadelphia, PA. He was a Baker. Wilhemina married an associate of her fathers named Christian Koehler, also a Baker. Their 5th child, Ida Amelia Koehler married John Watts. His family was of Irish descent. John Watts was born in New York after his family migrated. They had two children: Ione Ethel Watts and John Arthur Watts. Ida's sister Emma Matilda moves in with them. She remains unmarried in this household for most of her life and is known as 'Matilda' . I wonder if Matilda had some sort of disability and if it is Ida who cares for her.In 1900 John Watts passes away and leaves Ida a widow. John Watts was a manufacturer. (another lose end..was he also in the same fabric and trimmings business as her brother Henry William Hensel?). He was a wealthy man and has left her on 10,000.00 a year to live on and their house is owned outright. This would have been a comfortable lifestyle in this era. In February 192o Aunt Matilda passes away. Ione is now 33 , her brother John is 31 and now a Chemist for the US Government and both still reside with their mother at 541 Carpenter st. Philadelphia, PA.

In May 1920 John applies for a passport to take his mother and sister to Australia "to relatives" and then return. These being Watts relatives who migrated to Australia from Ireland. Later after the return from Australia it seems Ione has stayed in Australia and his mother Ida returns with him. In July he applies again to the passport office to take his mother to England with him as he had secured a job and intends to live there. He will be moving to Cardiff, in South Wales. It seems he will first visit France, Italy & Belgium to 'Study Architecture' before he settles in Cardiff. (* his cousins the Reeves also frequent Belgium during this decade-this is a new mystery to solve). On his application he writes at the bottom: "Thanking you and Bobby!" so he obviously knew more people in the US government than just Chemists.

By 1923 Ida is back in Philadelphia . In the past censuses Iones is stated as having no occupation along with her mother and Aunt Matilda, the only person with a career is her brother John. In the 1923 Census it states Ione is in the household of Ida again and that her occupation is 'Social Service' and the industry is stated as 'Australia'.

I have yet to find either of them in the census after 1923.

Now Australia was a dream of my mothers that she made happen. We did not move there because of relatives or a job. We just went. For me finding this information has been a curious treat.

What is the Belgium connection?

Is Ione crew on a passenger ship between the US and Australia or has she managed to appear in the census during her stay to pack her mother up and move her to Australia?

Does John simply enjoy the hobby of architecture or does he make a career change from being a Chemist?

Was Ida's sister Matilda disabled in some way and that is why she lives her life with them and they do not travel prior to her death?

* Updates:

Further research into the travel and residence of Ida thanks to Johns passport application from Cardiff Wales states he did bring his mother to live with him in Cardiff and as he then states:

"I brought my mother home from the United States to Cardiff Wales and my return has been delayed owing the completion of arrangements for my mothers future residence."

The family he is associated with in Cardiff is Edgar Stanley Watts. They travel via Melbourne Australia to 'visit family' on the way back to the USA.

He is married some time after this to Ann Catherine Allbright

John Watts

Ione Watts and her father, John Arthur Watts.

I imagine as she was unmarried her fathers photo was also included in her passport or that she was on his passport.

'Lubin you Dodge'

1994-2008

TO THE MEMORY OF THE SAME DOG
LIE here, without a record of thy worth,
Beneath a covering of the common earth!
It is not from unwillingness to praise,
Or want of love, that here no Stone we raise;
More thou deserv'st; but 'this' man gives to man,
Brother to brother, 'this' is all we can.
Yet they to whom thy virtues made thee dear
Shall find thee through all changes of the year:
This Oak points out thy grave; the silent tree
Will gladly stand a monument of thee.

We grieved for thee, and wished thy end were past;
And willingly have laid thee here at last:
For thou hadst lived till everything that cheers
In thee had yielded to the weight of years;
Extreme old age had wasted thee away,
And left thee but a glimmering of the day;
Thy ears were deaf, and feeble were thy knees,--
I saw thee stagger in the summer breeze,
Too weak to stand against its sportive breath,
And ready for the gentlest stroke of death.

It came, and we were glad; yet tears were shed;
Both man and woman wept when thou wert dead;
Not only for a thousand thoughts that were,
Old household thoughts, in which thou hadst thy share;
But for some precious boons vouchsafed to thee,
Found scarcely anywhere in like degree!
For love, that comes wherever life and sense
Are given by God, in thee was most intense;
A chain of heart, a feeling of the mind,
A tender sympathy, which did thee bind

Not only to us Men, but to thy Kind:
Yea, for thy fellow-brutes in thee we saw
A soul of love, love's intellectual law:--
Hence, if we wept, it was not done in shame;
Our tears from passion and from reason came,
And, therefore, shalt thou be an honoured name!
William Wordsworth 1805.

Lewis Muhlenburg Hauppt

Lewis Muhlenberg Haupt (1845-1937)

Class of 1865, A.M. (hon.) 1883
Professor of Civil Engineering

Engineer with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Topographical engineer for Fairmount Park
Member of Panama Canal Commission

Lewis Muhlenberg Haupt was born in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on March 21, 1844, the son of Herman Haupt and Ann Cecilia Keller.

Haupt enrolled in 1861 as a member of the College Class of 1865, but left the University of Pennsylvania at the end of his freshman year.

Haupt also studied at the Lawrence Scientific School at Harvard before graduating from West Point in 1867. After service as a lieutenant in the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers from 1868 to 1869, he returned to Philadelphia to work as a topographical engineer on Fairmount Park. After a short period in 1872 as an Assistant Engineer at the U. S. Patent Office, he became an instructor in math and engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. Haupt was promoted to assistant professor of civil engineering in 1873 and to full professor of civil engineering in 1875, a post he would hold until 1892.

Haupt wrote many tracts on the subject of engineering, and served for a period as an editor of the American Engineering Register. In 1897 he was appointed by President McKinley to study the feasibility of a Nicaraguan canal linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. When the Panama site was finally chosen, he served on the Panama Canal Commission. He was active in several organizations including the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Franklin Institute, the American Philosophical Society, and the Engineers Club of Philadelphia. In 1911 Lewis Haupt patented automatic devices for reclaiming eroded beaches by hooked jetties, subsequently used on beaches in New Jersey and New York.

The University of Pennsylvania awarded him an honorary A.M. degree in 1883, and Haupt also received an honorary Sc.D. from Muhlenberg College and an honorary LL. D. from Pennsylvania College. On June 26, 1873, he married Isabella Christiana Cromwell. Together they had four daughters and one son, Lewis H. Haupt, who graduated from the University in 1909 with a B. S. in mechanical engineering. Lewis Muhlenberg Haupt died in Cynwyd, Pennsylvania on March 10, 1937.

Family Crests

2008-03-14T21:48:00.000-07:00

A crest is a component of an heraldic display, so called because it stands on top of a helmet, as the crest of a jay stands on the bird's head.

The earliest heraldic crests were apparently painted on metal fans, and usually repeated the coat of arms painted on the shield, a practice which was later discontinued. Later they were sculpted of leather and other materials.

Originally, the crest was often "continued into the mantling," but today the crest normally stands within a wreath of cloth, called a torse, in the principal colors of the shield (the liveries). Various kinds of coronet may take the place of the torse, though in some unusual circumstances the coronet sits atop a torse, and is either defined as all or part of a crest.[1] The most frequent crest-coronet is a simplified form of a ducal coronet, with four leaves rather than eight. Towns often have a mural crown, i.e. a coronet in the form of embattled stone walls.

Objects frequently borne as crests include animals, especially lions, normally showing only the fore half; human figures, likewise often from the waist up; hands or arms holding weapons; bird's wings. In Germany and nearby countries, the crest often repeats the liveries in the form of a tall hat, a fan of plumes in alternating colors, or a pair of curving horns. The horns may have a hole in the tip to hold a cluster of plumes or flowers, and because of this have been imported to English heraldry at least once as elephant's trunks.

Crests are not normally borne by women, or clergy, at least not in the UK, because they did not participate in war or tournaments and thus would not have a helm on which to wear it. An exception is the reigning queens of England or Britain, whose armorial display is indistinguishable from that of kings.

Some armigers used their crest as a personal badge, leading to the erroneous use of the word "crest" to describe a shield or full coat of arms.

While it is not strictly correct, there is a convention that a crest may be displayed within a belt and buckle by persons other than its legal bearer, signifying non-ownership.

There is a widespread misconception, due in part to Victorian stationers' marketing of engraved letterheads, that a crest and a coat of arms belong to everyone with the same family name; but usage by persons not descended from the original grantee constitutes usurpation. Bogus "family crests" continue to be sold to the gullible by heraldic "bucket shops."[citation needed]

Ray Haupt has not only published his work, but he has an amazing website for the study of this name and histories related to it.

The HENSEL line in my family is related to general Herman Haupt through marriage with Anna Cecelia Keller (Her sister Louisa Caroline would marry his brother Lewis and we are related through another sister Mary Keller who married Shipping magnate and friend of the Haupts; Charles Norton) The Keller family was a large influence in the Lutheren Church in Pennsylvania. Mary's father Reverend Benjamin Keller and his son Muhlenburg Keller (named after Reverend Muhlenburg) were some of the foundations to these churches throughout Philadelphia, Lancaster, Harrisburg, Gettysburg and other areas of PA.

Herman Haupt and his brother Lewis Haupt were both very skilled engineers and are the authors of several bridges and were instrumental for the railroad lines. Both were close to President Lincoln and worked with him to build the rail system on the east coast. Several of our Hensel ancestors (who would be nephews to Mary & Herman) took jobs with the Haupt family and my Great Great Grandfather and his brothers all went to various areas to work on the Northern Pacific Railroad thanks to the Haupt men.

I recently obtained copies of letters between Keller/Haupt/Hensel families and have yet to read them.

If you are a Haupt family researcher make sure you visit this website-its is rich with information, photographs and such a varied range of Haupt/Houpt families. Thanks to ray Haupt for his research into this line.

Kelly genealogy

2008-01-20T19:21:00.000-08:00

Finally broke through the KELLY dead end.
This the the ancestral line of Agnes Kelly who married Dwight Putman. The parents of 'Put', Aunt Kip & Cary as they are known to us. I have posted up to Agnes. Also note that her father was reffered to as 'Law', short for Lawrence (as sighted on birth certificate and census online). However James Kelly, born 1784 in Derry Ireland marries a 'Law' who is female. Just an interesting use of a 'family name'.
Of course I need to do more research and fill in gaps. I also lost a good deal of info when my hard drive crashed.

Many thanks to Michael Kelly- Cataldi for posting this info at ancestry.com

Tracing Your Ancestors in South-Central Pennsylvania by Raymond Martin Bell
To determine the father of William Kelly, whose Revolutionary War pension application (W3692) shows that he was born near Shippensburg, Pa., Feb. 28, 1755, went to Path Valley and then (in 1786) to Centre Co., where he died in 1837.
His pension applicationnamed a brother, Samuel. Samuel's pension application (S2686) says that Samuel enlisted in Letterkenny Township, then Cumberland Co., where his father lived. He names a brother John. (The oldest sons of William and Samuel were named James.)
The Letterkenney tax records show only one Kelly -- James Kelly, who appears in 1763 with 200 acres, 20 cleared, 2 horses, 3 cows, 4 sheep. His name appears each year until 1784, when his land became a part of Franklin Co. The land records show his warrent June 7, 1763, and survey Dec. 30, 1765. The warrant shows "the land having been settled upwards of 12 years." So James settled about 1750. The name of his survey, "Londonderry", may give a clue as to his origin. James sold the farm to George Anspach May 23, 1786, and moved to Indiana Co., Pa., where he died soon after 1800. Anspach had the land patented March 12, 1806 (a patent date was often long after the warrent date).
The Pennsylvania Gazette, Philadelphia, reported March 29, 1764, that on March 19 among the houses burned by the Indians near Shippensburg was that of James Kelly. James' brother, John, had been killed by the Indians in 1756.

3. William Kelly b 28 Feb 1755 Letterkenny Twnshp, Franklin, PA

Died 15 Oct 1837 in Worthe Centre, PA

Revolutionary War Pvt., in Capt McCoy's Co., Col. Bull's Reg't., of Penn'a Line Cumberland County

In July, 1776, he joined a one-hundred-man company of volunteer Riflemen command by Capt. McConnel, Lieut. McClure and Sergeant Leathers. William enlisted at Shippensburg, Cumberland Co., Penn. William made the declaration in order to qualify for a pension passed by an act of Congress on 7 June 1832.WILLIAM KELLY stated on his military pension application #25704, the following:" . . . We marched in the said month of July, 1776, by the way of Lancaster to Philadelphia. Our company was then placed under the command of Colonel Watt. Immediately we were taken by water in a 'Row Galley,' as it was called, to Trenton. We remained there one night. From thence to Princeton, Elizabethtown to Amboy. We remained there 2 or 3 weeks and were then marched to a place called Bergen Point. There we were stationed a month or more. From thence we were marched to Fort Lee and if I recollect right, it was under the command of Col. Bull. Our company was not taken within the garrison, but was stationed a small distance from it. We sheltered ourselves in little huts covered with Brush. We marched from Fort Lee immediately after the taking of Fort Washington in the middle of November, 1776, where my brother, SAMUEL KELLY, was taken prisoner. All the garrison of Fort Lee abandoned it also."The company to which I belonged then formed a part of the army on their retreat, under Gen'l WASHINGTON, which marched to Trenton and crossed the Delaware. Our company remained with the army under the command of Col. WATT until the day after Christmas when the whole army was divided into three divisions to attack the Hessians on the opposite side at Trenton. The division to which our company belonged, did not succeed in getting across on account of the great freezing during the night. The captive Hessians were brought over the next day and Captain McCONNEL's company, to which I belonged, guarded part of them to Philadelphia. We then returned under Col. Watt to Trenton, having remained only one night in Philadelphia. At Trenton I remained until January, when I returned home. I received no written discharge. My officers returned as well as the men."In the month of April, 1778, I was drafted in the militia. I then resided in Cumberland County. My Captain's name was ROBERT McCOY. Only one company marched. We joined the Battalion at the Crooked Billet, sixteen miles from Philadelphia, then in possession of the British. One of the Battalions [was] commanded by Col. WATT, the other by Col. SMITH. Our company had arrived on the first day of April and on the morning of the 12 of May, the enemy attacked us. All the troops were dispersed and I was wounded with a sabre on the forehead, which fractured my scull [and] also the . . . arms."I was taken to Philadelphia and placed in the Hospital, where my wounds were examined by the Surgeons -- one of whom was Dr. WILFORD. He dressed the wound on my head and took from it a part of the Scull. This wound can be yet seen. When the British evacuated Philadelphia, I with other, was left, and as soon as I sufficiently recovered, I returned home to Cumberland County. (The inference to be drawn from this statement of Kelly's, is, that after being wounded, he fell into the hands of the enemy, the British, by whom he was carried a prisoner to Philadelphia, where his wounds were dressed by the British surgeons as noted. W.F.W.) The wound I received on my head was from a Horse man. The name of one of the prisoners I can recollect is ABRAHAM SMITH, also ROBERT LEATHERS, JAME CALHOON, WM. W. GRIFFOLK, DAVID WILLS, they were in the Hospital with me."[The Court then asked WILLIAM KELLY several Questions.]* Where and in what year were you born? "In Cumberland Co'y on the 28, Feb'y, 1755.”* Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it? "I have a record. It is now in my possession."* Where were you living when called into service? Where have you lived since the Revolutionary War? And were do you now live? "I lived in Cumberland County. I have lived for forty-six years in Centre County, where I now live."* How were you called into service, were you drafted or did you volunteer? "My first service was as a volunteer. My second service drafted as a militia man."* State the names of some of the Regular officers, who were with the troops where you served, such Continental and Militia Reg'ts as you can recollect and the general circumstances of your service? "I can recollect Gen'l WASHINGTON, Gen'l PUTNAM, Col. BULL, but our company being a Rifle company, we had not a very good opportunity of becoming acquainted in any way with the officers of the Regular army. We were never paraded with the main body until we were retreating through the Jerseys. Then we were generally in front or the rear and whatever orders Col. WATT received, were obeyed. These are the reasons why I cannot now recollect more of the names of the officers of the Regular army. Capt. M'COY, under whom I marched when drafted, was killed at the Crooked Billet."WILLIAM KELLY was granted his Revolutionary War pension on 19 Dec 1833 and "inscribed on the Roll of Penn'a at the rate of 26 Dollars 66 Cents per annum to commence on the 4th day of March, 1831."

William Kelly applied for his pension in 1833 at Centre County, PA. At the time that he died, he and Jane had 6 children, but only their two sons, William & Robert were name under the pension.

Haal / Hall

2007-09-08T23:50:00.000-07:00

Johannes Haal/Hall is the ancestor of the Hall family in Pennsylvania. Thanks to the work of Steve Hall who posted his draft on Yohannes/Jahannes Hall research online:

1764 November 27o Borno NAME:o PLACE: Albany Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. [Assumed based on baptism 11 weeks later.]o
SOURCE: Records of Rev. Daniel Schumacher.1765 February 19 (Age: 2-1/2 months)o Baptisedo NAME: ""
PLACE: Allemaengel Church, Albany Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania.o Johannes baptism is found in the records of Rev. Daniel Schumacher, one of the more than 1,500 he performed during his lifetime. In it, Schumacher specifically records that he was "born the 27th of November 1764", the son of Jürg and Anna Magdalena Haal, and sponsored by Henrich and Susanna Zimmerman.o
SOURCE: Records of Rev. Daniel Schumacher.1788 September 9 (Age: 23)o

Inquest to divide the real estate of father George Hall. (See George Hall Known Facts.)1790 (Age: 25)o 1790 Censuso The 1790 Census of Berks County (which includes modern day Perry County) lists "Jno." Hall as being a household of 1 Male 16 up, 3 Males to 16, and 3 Females.

This fits what we know about Yohanes given that in 1790 he was married and had 3 sons under the age of 16.
If one female was Mari Elizabeth, the two remaining would be unexplained, although they could have easily been laborers, the couple's mothers or other relatives living with them.1800 (Age: 35)

1800 Censuso Listed as "John Hall, Farmer"o Only male in family between the ages of 26 and 45.o Two boys between 10 and 16 (George and John, Jr.)o Three boys less than 10 (Henry, Jonathan, and Daniel).wife (Mari) listed between 26 and 45 years oldo Daughter (Rebecca), born the year of the census, is listed as the lone female child listed less than 10 years old.o (Last two children, Moses and Catharine, are not yet born.)1810 (Age: 45)o Son John moves from Berks County to Perry Countyo

SOURCE: Obituary of grandson Dr. Daniel Hall, M.D.1820 (Age: 55)o 1820 Census1836 April 8 (Age: 71)o Will written.1836 April 11 (Age: 71)o Dieso

SOURCE: Cemetery stoneo His cemetery stone, behind Lebanon Lutheran and Reformed Churchyard in Loysville, Pennsylvania reads: Hier rulien die ge/ Gine yon Yohanes Haal gebohiem de 17[sic] Nov 1764 starb den 11 tem April 1836 alt 71 yehr [A]M und 14T [roughly translated] Here rests ________ of John Hall born on 17 Nov 1764 died in 11 April 1836 at 71 years 4[?]months and 14 days There is a basic math error here because if John was born on 17 Nov 1764, he would have been 71 years, 4 months, and 24 days old. Since Schumacher records Yohanes' birth on the 27th which the age calculation above confirms, we assume that the birth date on this stone is incorrect, not the least bit unusual for Germans at the time.

Alternate spellings of "Hall"
To date, we have encountered these variations in the family's surname: Hall, Haal, Haall, Hälle, Halle, Hahl, Hahll, Halen, Heyl, and Heil.

Interesting discoveries while scanning.

2007-08-26T13:18:00.000-07:00

I have the good fortune that my mother had in her possession alot of old family photos (a trunk) that over the years collected even more. Maybe those early days when I would sit and look through them all just for fun paid off. But its taking years to scan them all and all I borrow from family (thank you-more please) Today on Chookscraps I was checking out the scrapbooking challenges and one is for 'Heritage Look' (thanks Kathy!) so this inspired a little digging out the various family allocated water proof cases (yes...very serious about this family archive thing)and scanning some more photos in. I found this interesting one I didn't know existed for THE HOOKS FAMILY. This was the name of my Grandmother Francis' (aka Nona) adoptive family. She knew her biological family, they lived up the road. After @8 months in the hospital after birth the Doctor who delivered her took her home and adopted her. Rumour (and proof of anything regarding her adoption has been hard to find) and family lore is that her mother, Mollieneal, went to 'The Sanitarium' after her birth for some time which was the reason Francis never went home with the Braden family. She was the 5th child born to Sarge Braden & Mollineal Dickinson. William was the 6th... he did go home with them.
Here is the photo I found:

It is well know that Dr. Hooks, her adoptive father, was devoted to my grandmother, yet Maude her step mother was not close. Francis was to be their only child. They were a prominent wealthy family. My Grandmother throughout her life would always have a trust fund, however not alot of love....the theory among us is that without close contact those early months Nona had issues attaching. Throw a tad of socio path in there too. Very intelligent, a true mind for literature. A strong memory for me is her ability to quote Shakespeare or famous poets in a moment. Often accenting the life.
The back:

I think it says:
Chas Snr
Minnie
Maude
Frances
J.M.H shooing at C.A.H taking the picture
Two Phelps children (who?)

We do know her devotion and love for my grandfather Eliot was eternal and his for her. Like 'Who's afraid of Virginia Wolfe' mixed with 'Pride & Prejudice'.

She was beautiful and a true Southern Belle with a 'past' in Paris, Texas style.

2007-08-19T23:48:00.001-07:00

I pondered describing the festive day and then realized it was such a delightful wedding it needed liitle said.

The ceremony included Matt's daughter Madison. Scott Kaplan married the two (he introduced them and is Matt's long lost cousin...really)

The ceremony aptly started with the 'Oh God you are SO BIG' from Monty Python. It was perfect. After Katja and Matt took there vows Madison took hers and stole the ceremony....as only she can. The three were then married and a family.

It was quite a gathering. Friends from begining to end, family from all over and their Venice neighbors (Liza, Dave & Dan) who graciously opend their yard, creativity and lives up for the celebration and partied hardy with us.

It was everything it should be.

As I said to katja later in the night;

"It couldnt be more like it is than this."

If you know what I mean......

Enjoy the slide show.

The 1500's

2007-07-31T11:49:00.001-07:00

Cassie sent this to me and I thought it a wonderful read here.

THE 1500'SThe next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be.Here are some interesting facts about the 1500s:

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath inMay,and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, So brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odour. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water.The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water,then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children, Last of all the babies.By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it.Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath.It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up a nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over thetop afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floortohelp keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance way. Hence the saying a "thresh hold."(Getting quite an education, aren't you?)

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot.They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight andthen start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that hadbeen therefor quite a while. Hence the rhyme, "Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old. "Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off It was a sign of wealth that a man could "bring home the bacon." They would cut off alittle to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat."

Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so,tomatoes were considered poisonous.

Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of theloaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or "uppercrust."

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky.The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait to see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake."

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-house" and reuse the grave. When re opening these coffins, 1 outof 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string onthe wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or was considered a "dead ringer."And that's the truth.. Now, whoever said that History was boring ! ! !

New discoveries

2007-07-23T11:14:00.000-07:00

Pabodie/Peabody family.
This family is related to the LOWE/BARKER line. Peabody is a Mayflower line and married into ALDEN of John Alden whose daughter Elizabeth ALDEN married William PEABODY/PABODIE, 6th GGrand Uncle of Fannie PEABODY who married John Edwin BARKER. But the history of this line has been easy to trace and wonderfully full of stories.

The new discovery was finding ancestral photos in the UC Libraries: California Digital Library of Henry Adams PEABODY and his wife Sallie Ann BRADY in there that I had never seen. (Fannie Peabodies parents) I am lucky enough to have some copies of photos of them through Judy Barker and Tom Lowe.
Here is what I found:

Henry Adams Peabody

Sallie Ann (Brady) Peabody.

The following picture is of their daughter Fannie Peabody Barker that I have a copy of:

Here is her husband John Edwin Barker:

Their daughter (my grandmother) Josephine Barker Lowe:
.

These were the only photos I had seen of Henry & Sallie (I have copies) which are much older:

.

There were other land and house photographs donated to this library under the search of 'Peabody' but not much information to go with it-but if you are curious follow this link. And if you discover more please let me know.

Games

Drinking may be done in taverns, ale houses, or tippling houses.
Gambling is gaming (game-ing).
Playing with dice is dicing. A good dice game is Hazard, rather like Craps.
The word for backgammon is tables. The "acey-deucy" version is called the Corsican game. You can lose a good deal of money in a tabling den.
Two good period card games are Primero and Taroccho (ta-RO-koh), played with tarot cards.
A whore house or stew is also a bawdy house or a leaping house or a shugging den.
A drab is a woman of low character or a prostitute. A punk is a whore who may work in a stew. Working girls in Southwark in the domain of the Bishop of Winchester are also called Winchester geese.
A drabber is someone who spends too much time with such women.
Tennis is played indoors, sometimes for high stakes

Filling the Time

As we know, there is nothing as dangerous as a bored nobleman (unless it's an unemployed soldier). These are some of the ways--besides hunting--that a courtier at Court might fill his or her time.
Gossip, of course. But, like flirting, you can do that anywhere, especially while doing almost any of the following.
Tennis is popular. It's played indoors or in a high-walled outdoor court. (The grass court comes into use in 1591.)
The ball is made of leather and stuffed with hair.
In one version, there are no rackets; you hit the ball with the palm of your hand over a tasseled rope stretched across the center of the court.
Other sports include bowls (lawn bowling) for which Henry VIII set up an alley at White Hall; shuttlecock (like badminton), archery, billiards, hunting and riding, wrestling, and political maneuvering. Attend the theatre. Remember, this is in the afternoons, since there is no artificial lighting.
Young gentlemen of appearance can, for an extra fee, have their chairs put right up on the stage.
There is a different play every day; perhaps 4-6 plays in a repertory season.
There are no playhouses until 1576; the performance is very likely in an inn yard.
Ladies attend, but are usually veiled or in masks.
Have the players in. Have them bring the play to your house. Count the silverware before they leave. Make sure you know who their patron is. Try to avoid Richard II (with its deposition scene) and other controversial works, just in case. Do not sell tickets.

Bolton Castle

2007-05-22T00:04:00.000-07:00

Castle Bolton, Nr Leyburn, North Yorkshire, DL8 4ET Privately Owned

Bolton Castle dominates the Wensleydale village of Castle Bolton. The exterior of the castle looks quite complete, but the interior is mainly an empty shell, with only the west range and south-west tower still intact.

In 1379, Sir Richard, 1st Baron Scrope, who was Chancellor for Richard II, was granted a licence to crenellate his manor. This allowed him to officially continue work on the castle he was building on the site of his old house. The plan of the castle is a quadrangle with accommodation along each side and a tower at each corner. There is only one entry into the courtyard, and that is through a vaulted passage with a portcullis at each end. Inside the courtyard are five identical doorways, each protected by its own portcullis, effectively trapping any attackers who made it into the courtyard.

In 1568 Mary Queen of Scots was held at the castle for a year, before being moved to Tutbury Castle in Staffordshire. During the Civil War the castle was held by the Royalist, John Scrope. In 1645, starvation forced him to surrender to a Parliamentary army after a year long siege. The castle was slighted, leaving only the west range and south-west tower habitable. In 1762, the weakened north-east tower collapsed during a storm, but the rest of the castle survives almost to its original height.

Civil War Union Brigadier General. A child engineering prodigy, he graduated at the age of 18 from the 1835 Class of the United States Military Academy (35th of 56). Resigned from the Army soon after graduation, and embarked on a successful career as a Railroad science and technology pioneer. In 1862, the second year of the Civil War he was appointed chief of all U.S. Military Railroads and transportation, with the rank of Brigadier General, US Volunteers. He accepted the rank but not the pay, and served without any wages. After a full year of doing a remarkable job of organizing and building Military Railroad for the Union, he resigned. His postbellum career continued its remarkable path. General Haupt made great strides in Railroad evolution, and was the head of several railroad companies. (bio by: Russ Dodge)

Easter

2007-04-07T10:10:00.000-07:00

The Historychannel.com has an excellent little video about Easter and all its components. Jesus to the bunny. It was a great find after Sage asked the inevitable question as to why the eggs, chocolate and a Prophet.

http://www.history.com/minisite.do?content_type=Minisite_Video_Clips&content_type_id=50484&display_order=5&mini_id=1072

We don't celebrate Easter in its traditional way in our house. We do have eggs and the Easter Bunny still visits.

My kids have an ongoing adventure into spiritual education.We want to educate them in all things so they may chose their own spiritual path. Bruce and I aren't your traditional church going people. Bruce was raised Quaker (which I find makes the most sense in Christianity after attending several 'meetings' back east) and I was raised Episcopalian and educated Church Of England during my years at Merton Hall. My fascination with history above all else opened the door to years of reading theology, using my Scofeild Bible, Jewish Bible,Kabala (long before Madonna-the Tarot will teach you) Tibetan writings, some Krishna, Joseph Cambell, Edgar Cayce,Manley P Hall and seeking knowledge in general.

If you weave history and religion more adamantly one discovers that we seek in the same Force, we just speak different terminology. I am perplexed daily at the zealot misunderstandings of our human nature when in essence we believe the same thing.

How we could disregard reincarnation when its what Mathew is all about and John six to eight; third to fifth. Or the Bible as a whole for that matter. I don't blame religion by any means, it in itself is Essence and we all posses its spark. Its mans greed for Power that deforms it for its own reasons. Ahh...God tests our Free Will.

According to Genesis (Or the First Book of Moses) It discusses the Three Primary Names of Deity;
Elohim, Jehovah, and Adonai.
Elohim (sometimes El or Elah) the first of the three primary names of Deity is a Uni-Plural noun formed from El meaning Strength or Strong and Alah meaning to swear or bind oneself by Oath, so implying Faithfulness. This unity is also seen in Gen i. 26 and Gen iii. 22 Thus the trinity being latent in Elohim.

Jehovah (Lord) is "the self existent One". Literally (as in Ex, iii.14) "He that is who, He is therefore eternal I AM". Hovah from which Jehovah and Yahwe is formed, signifies also 'to become'. That is to become known, thus pointing to a continuous and increasing self revelation. Combining the meanings we arrive at the meaning of the name Jehovah. He is: " the self;f existent One who reveals Himself." Jehova is distinctly the redemption name of Deity.

Adonai translated "Lord" (only the "L" capitalized), occurs approximately 300 times in the Old Testament. It's interesting to note that it is almost always used in the plural possessive form meaning "My Lords". The true meaning of this name in the Hebrew language indicates "mastership" or "ownership". From this, we can clearly see God's outright ownership of all things in Heaven and Earth.

Resurrection of Christ. When the Prince of Peace came into the earth for the completing of His OWN development in earth, He overcame the flesh and temptation. So He became the first of those that overcame death in the body enabling Him to so Illuminate, to so revivify that body as to take it up again, even when those fluids of the body were drained away by the nail holes in His hand and by the spear piercing in his side. He gave his physical blood that doubt and fear might be banished, so He overcame death; not only in physical body but in SPIRIT body..that it may become as ONE with HIM, even as on that Resurrection morn. Easter tide.

Man alone is given free will. He alone may defy his God. Will...designates man from the rest of the animal world. It is never by chance that any soul enters any material experience; rather by choice. For, the will is the birthright, the manifested right of every soul. It is the gift of the Creator, yet it is the price one pays for material expression.

According to the 1900 census; Mary E. Bolton date and age unknown but living in the St.Paul Metropolitan Hotel-as a broder. States "no head shown".

It is possible that he is the same person in the 1900 census claims he is born July 1825 in Germany. At this time he is 74 in Minnesota and living in the Henderson Hospital (?) "living alone". Still to be confirmed.
Joel Ramsey
William Ramsey Heaberlin related the following story: "Grandfather Ramsey
(Joel), mother’s father, was probably born in Baltimore; at least he served an
apprentice ship in that city as a maker of leather breeches. Grandfather Ramsey
was for three years a life guard of George Washington, during the Revolutionary
War. He entered the war when 17 and served the entire seven years. On account of
his youth they did not wish to take him, but it was suggested that he be taken
as a drummer boy. He was married during the war. He has told of the American
running away from the British at Hrse Shoe Bend. After the war when he applied
for a pension before the courts, a Dutchman was in the court room. Grandfather
told of his being at the Battle of Trenton; the Hessian said; "Pe sure dat is
drue for I was dar."
Perhaps we can never know the name of the Hessian in the courtroom but we know
the date on which this alleged incident occurred: 5 May 1818. It was on this
date that Joel Ramsey appeared in the Court of Russell Co., Virginia to apply
for a Revolutionary War pension based on the Revolutionary Claim Act of 18 March
1818. This pension was only available to veterans of the Continental Line. He
declared that he enlisted in the 4th Regt of the North Carolina line commanded
by Col. Thomas Clark and in Capt. Goodman’s Company. He didn’t recall the exact
date but he was in the first detachment that marched to Wilmington. He enlisted
for three years and served his time faithfully. He went from Wilmington to
Philadelphia, from thence to head quarters at Valley Forge and wintered there.
He served frequently as guard to General Washington. He was also at the battles
of Monmouth, Brandywine, Germantown, Princeton and was present at the taking of
the Hessians at Trenton and the surrender of British General Howe.
Joel may not have remembered his exact date of enlistment, but it was 20 May
1776. He enlisted as a Private and was discharged as a Private, 20 May 1779.
From the North Carolina State Records as reprinted in the North Carolina
Daughters of the American Revolution’s Roster of Soldiers from North Carolina in
the American Revolution, the name Joel Ramsey appears in Capt. William Goodman’s
Company of the 4th Regiment commanded by Col. Thos. Polk. He also appears in the
roster of Col. Thomas Clark’s Company of the 1st N. C. Battalion Sept 8, 1778.
This battalion consisted of members of five companies of the 4th Regiment. The
4th Regiment was at Valley Forge and participated in the Philadelphia-Monmouth
campaign under General George Washington.
In 1820 many pensioners who failed to show need were taken off the rolls. On 5
December 1820 Joel Ramsey, aged sixty four years, appeared in court again to
solemnly swear that he "had not by gift, sale or in any manner disposed of his
property or any part thereof with intent thereby to diminish it as to bring
myself within the provision" of the 1818 Pension Act. He then gave an inventory
of his worldly possessions which included, among other things: 1 Heifer two
years old past; six head of hogs middling size and 22 young pigs; one kettle
worth $6; one small pot worth about $1; 6 plates, 4 knives and 6 forks; 1 basin;
one pewter dish; 4 small bowls; 1 shovel plough; one pair of chains; 2 1/2 acres
of indian corn standing which will probably yield 50 bushels in all; one iron
wedge; 1 ax; about 10 lbs tobacco; a tub pickeled cabbage; two sides of leather;
1 mattock; a small skillet; 8 or 10 lbs iron. He also stated that he was
"tolerably healthy, but infirm in one of his ancles [sic] which is a
considerable impediment to his walking about. His family consists of himself and
his wife who is above 50 years of age and is very unhealthy." He signed with his
mark. Unfortunately, nothing more is said of his family.
The last mention of Joel Ramsey in his pension file is a note dated 1 March 1839
from the Department of the Treasury authorizing a payment of eight dollars per
month from 4 Sept 1837 to 4 March 1838. However, Joel Ramsey is enumerated as a
Revolutionary War Pensioner, age 81, in the 1840 Federal Census of Russell Co.,
Virginia.
Was he born in 1756 or 1759? Did he die in 1838, 1839, or 1840? None of these
dates is certain but the record of his Revolutionary service is proven. However,
WRH stated that Joel served "the entire seven years" and told of the Americans
running away from the British at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. When I looked up
this battle I was disappointed to learn that it was an American victory in the
War of 1812. However, in one of those genealogical coincidences that sometimes
feel supernatural, I was reading over the Revolutionary War pension file of
another one of my ancestors, Robert Rea, who received a pension while living in
Jefferson Co., Indiana under the Pension Act of 1838 which included veterans of
the State Militias and also required a lot more personal information than the
Act of 1818. Robert Rea had served in the Mecklenburg Co., North Carolina
Militia and stated that he had been at "Snipes Defeat at the Horseshoe." It has
been difficult finding information about this engagement but I found it
mentioned in the Index to the Thomas Sumter Papers in the Draper Manuscripts.
"Maj. [William C. ] Snipes surprised at the Horseshoe by Col. Ballingall’s
horse. Copy 4pp. June 7, 1781." It appears to be a skirmish in the largely
guerrilla war in the Carolinas during the latter part of the Revolution. It is
easy to hypothesize that Joel Ramsey, after serving three years in the regular
army, returned home to North Carolina and was soon drawn into serving with the
State Militia. As a seasoned soldier, the sight of the green troops running away
from the British would have made a particularly strong impression on him. It is
easy to understand his grandson confusing the name with the more well known
battle in the War of 1812. He would not have mentioned this service in his
pension application since the 1818 pension was only available to veterans of the
Continental Line.
Where in North Carolina did Joel live and where did he marry Abigail Freeman?
Many years ago I had looked in the printed 1790 Federal Census of North Carolina
but had not been able to find Joel Ramsey. Then I decided to concentrate my
search in those counties where both Ramsey and Freeman families appeared. Then,
in doing a line by line search, I discovered Joel Ransey in Chatham Co., North
Carolina. I could find no record of their marriage, but in neighboring Orange
Co. I found Joel Ramsey serving as bondsman for the marriage of Elijah
"Bevelley" and Mary Freeman, 3 May 1787. In 1800 when Joel Ramsey is in the tax
records of Wythe Co. Virginia, Elijah Beverly is there. In the 1820, 1830 and
1840 Federal Censuses of Russell Co. Virginia, both Joel Ramsey and Elijah
Beverly are there. And in 1830 in Pike Co. Kentucky, Joel’s granddaughter,
Eunice Ramsey, married Elijah’s youngest son, Freeman Beverly. And it was in
Orange Co. that I found the Freeman family that appears to be the best
candidates for Abigail’s parents.
However, a search of Chatham and Orange Counties do not turn up any likely
kinsmen of Joel’s, Ramsey wills of this period and other North Carolina Ramseys’
Revolutionary War pension papers do not mention him. Perhaps WRH’s statement
that Joel was an apprentice in Baltimore is the clue here. Joel may have come to
North Carolina with his master or perhaps he ran away from his master to join
the army. The records that point to his parentage may be in Maryland.
In the 1790 Federal Census of Chatham Co. North Carolina, Joel Ramsey is in the
same alphabetical list as Robert Freeman. In Orange Co. Elijah Beverly is listed
immediately after Daniel Freeman in the tax list. It has been relatively easy to
find out about these Freeman men and though there is no definitive proof that
Abigail (and Mary) were their sisters, the circumstantial evidence is
compelling.

Abigail Freeman
William Ramsey Heaberlin said of his grandmother; "Grandmother Ramsey (Abigail
Freeman) was probably born in North Carolina, she was married in that state.
Grandmother had a brother who was in the British Service. He and Grandfather
were both home on a furlough at the same time, both then went to their
respective armies. After a great battle the brother was never heard of, although
grandfather and his wife searched carefully for him. When the army was about to
move after this battle, grandmother went on horseback after night to see
grandfather. When she came to the first sentry she called out, "Who come there?
She answered "A friend." " A friend to who?’ "A friend to them that’s a friend
to me" and rode on."
John Freeman and Hannah Thornton were Quakers who left Chester Co. Pennsylvania
for North Carolina with their children Sarah, Daniel, Nathan, Samuel and John
according to the October 1762 minutes of the Bradford Monthly Meeting. John
Freeman was granted 200 acres on McCulloh Tract No. 8 in the Granville Land
Grants in North Carolina on 3 May 1763. The will of John Freeman’s father, also
named John, was proved 4 May 1748 in Chester Co. He names sons Nathaniel, John
and Samuel and daughters Judith and Sarah. The will of Hannah’s father, Robert
Thornton, proved 9 April 1774, in Chester Co. makes bequests to his grandsons,
Daniel, Nathan and Samuel Freeman and to his daughter Hannah Freeman and her
younger children "Names not known" i.e. those born after the move to North
Carolina. Hannah had a brother Samuel and two sisters, Abigail and Mary.
Much of this information comes from Charles Morris, who is a descendant of
Robert Freeman, one of their children born in North Carolina. I also posit that
Abigail wife of Joel Ramsey, Mary wife of Elijah Beverly, and a third daughter
Judith who was the wife of Jacob Stout (Elijah Beverly was bondsman for the
marriage which occurred 26 April 1788 in Orange Co.), were also their children.
John and Hannah Freeman’s son Nathan was dismissed from the Cane Creek Monthly
Meeting in North Carolina in October 1776 for "dancing" and "enlisting as a
soldier". He died in service and a land warrant was issued in his name in 1796
by which his brother Daniel relinquished any claim to Nathan’s estate to another
brother Robert Freeman of Surry Co., North Carolina. However, he served on the
American side and wasn’t a Tory.
The possible Quaker connection also adds a new twist to the story of Abigail’s
horseback ride through the enemy lines. When she responds, " a friend" what she
may have meant was "a Friend", i.e. a Quaker noncombatant. When the ignorant
sentry responds, she makes a clever play on words. This story also lends
credence to the theory that Joel served in the Militia after his return. It’s
unlikely that Abigail rode all the way to New Jersey.

The Children of Joel Ramsey and Abigail Freeman
No definitive list of the children of Joel Ramsey and Abigail Freeman has been
found to date in Bible, court, probate, or deed records. It has been a slow
process amassing the often circumstantial evidence. The first clue we have is
the 1790 Federal Census of Chatham Co., North Carolina which lists Joel Ransey
with 1 male over 16, 3 males under 16 and two females. By 1798, Joel Ramsey had
moved to Wythe Co., Virginia where he appears in the tax records from 1798 to
1800, which have been printed as a substitute census for the 1800 Federal Census
of Virginia which no longer exists. Three of his children have been identified
from the Court Records of Wythe Co. for this time period. He is listed in the
personal property tax list for Russell Co., Virginia for 1810 and 1812 which has
been printed as a substitute for the 1810 Federal Census of Russell Co. which no
longer exists either. By 1820 his children are grown and married, but
unfortunately the Russell Co. marriage records before 1853 were destroyed. This
destruction of these important records has been disheartening, but the extensive
court and land records still exist and have yet to be thoroughly searched. More
extensive information about the lives and descendants of the identified children
appears in the later section "Descendants of Joel Ramsey and Abigail Freeman
through Three Generations."
1. Daniel Ramsey was born between 1780 and 1790 according to his age grouping in
the 1820, 1830, and 1840 censuses. His age was given as 61, born in North
Carolina, in the 1850 Federal Census of Pike Co. Kentucky. However, since he had
just married a 25-year-old third wife the previous year, chances are he was
several years older. He is identified in Mary Kegley’s Abstracts of Court Orders
of Wythe Co., VA. 1790-1791; 1795-1810 in the 15 May 1805 court records: "Hannah
Ramsey by Daniel Ramsey, her brother, case against James Crockett." (See below)
2. Hannah Ramsey was born about 1790 in North Carolina according to the 1850
Federal Census of Russell Co., Virginia. However, due to the tendency to round
off ages, I believe she may be the female child enumerated in the 1790 census.
She is identified in the Abstracts in the 17 July 1797 court: "Hannah Ramsey and
Freeman Ramsey, infants of Joel Ramsey, were bound out by John Miller and Robert
Grayham (Graham), the overseers of the poor, to John Long." Infants in this case
mean merely that they were still minors. Hannah married James Dyer in Russell
Co., Virginia and many of the records of this family have been passed down and
recorded in the LDS archives. These also say that she was the daughter of Joel
Ramsey and Abigail Freeman.
3, Freeman Ramsey was probably one of the older children and may be one of the
boys enumerated in the 1790 census. He is identified above and was also
mentioned in the "Reminiscences."
4. Joel Ramsey Jr. was born about 1792 in North Carolina according to the 1850
Federal Census of Scott Co., Virginia. He has been identified as a child of Joel
Ramsey and Abigail Freeman by descendants.
5. William Ramsey was born about 1795 in North Carolina according to the 1850
Federal Census of Russell Co., Virginia. A biography of Hannah (Ramsey) Dyer
appears in Some Descendants of John Counts of Glade Hollow Virginia by
Sutherland and Sutherland, 1978. Besides recounting the tradition that she was a
"bound woman", it notes that she was the sister of William Ramsey. The two of
them were the only ones to remain in Russell Co.
6. Sarah Jane "Sally" Ramsey was born 16 May 1795 in North Carolina, the
daughter of Joel Ramsey and Abigail Freeman, according to her son William Ramsey
Heaberlin. How fortunate that he left this record, since I have found no other
corroborating evidence.
7. Robert Ramsey was born between 1790-1800 according to his age group in the
1830 Federal Census of Pike Co., Kentucky. He was a neighbor of Daniel Ramsey
and bondsman for Daniel’s marriage to Letitia (Mills) Sowards in Pike Co. He has
been identified as a child of Joel Ramsey and Abigail Freeman by descendants.
8. Elizabeth Ramsey was born about 1800 in Wythe Co., Virginia according to the
1850 Federal Census of Russell Co., Virginia. She has been identified as a child
of Joel Ramsey and Abigail Freeman by the following circumstantial evidence: 1.
She was born in Wythe Co., Virginia at a time when Joel and Abigail were
resident there. 2. She married Andrew Heaberlin whose known brother, Samuel
Berry Heaberlin, married Sarah Jane Ramsey, known child of Joel and Abigail. 3.
She named her oldest known son, Joel, and her oldest known daughter was
Elizabeth Abigail, called Abigail. (Elizabeth was the name of Andrew’s mother.)
4. None of the other Ramsey families of Wythe Co., Virginia were known to have
lived in Russell Co.
Were there any other children and if so, did they live to maturity? I believe
there may be more children to be discovered. Here are a few possible candidates:
1. John Ramsey In Mary Fugate’s Implied Marriages of Russell Co., Virginia which
was compiled from probate and deed records: John Ramsey of Wayne Co., Kentucky
and wife, Sarah Ramsey, heir and legatee of Samuel Dorton in 1827. The on-line
Kentucky Vital Records show the death of Joel C. Ramsey, 14 July 1943, age 75 in
Wayne Co., Kentucky.
2. Dicy Gibson She is enumerated in the 1860 Federal Census of Russell Co.,
Virginia with the family of William Ramsey, son of Joel and Abigail. She is age
50 born in North Carolina and a pauper. However, a Dicy Gibson, age 70 and a
pauper is also enumerated in the household of James O. Fraley and his wife,
Margaret, William Ramsey’s daughter. In the 1850 Federal Census of Russell Co.,
Dicy Gibson, age 58, born in Grayson Co., Virginia is living in the household of
Jeremiah Couch, age 74, also born in Grayson Co. She is described as an "idiot".
Was she a relative or a public charge? Also intriguing is the suspicion that the
nickname "Dicy" may be short for Judith.
3. Abigail Logan She is also enumerated in the 1860 household of William Ramsey
where she is also described as age 50, born in North Carolina and a pauper. In
1850 she was enumerated as head of household, age 42, born in North Carolina
with the following dependents: Mary E. Logan age 21 born in Russell Co., Lilborn
M. Logan age 7 born in Russell Co., Benjamine F. Logan age 2 born in Russell
Co., William P. Logan age 18 born in Russell Co., Green Pierce age 23 born in
North Carolina, and Priscilla Pierce age 26 born in Russell Co. The last two had
been married within the year. She appears too young to be a child of Joel and
Abigail, but her name, place of birth and residence with William Ramsey in 1860
make her a candidate as a possible relative.

Some Final Notes on the Marriage of Joel Ramsey and Abigail Freeman
The Abstracts of the Court Records of Wythe Co., VA offer some tantalizing clues
about Joel and Abigail’s lives. In the court records of 9 December 1800: "Joel
Ramsey appeared in court in discharge of his recognizance and no person
appearing to prosecute, he is discharged." And then in the court of 13 December
1803: "On the motion of Abigail Ramsey leave is granted her to bring suit as a
poor person against Joel Ramsey, her husband, for separate maintenance." From
the Account Book of Colonel Robert Sayers, dated from the period 1804-1805,
which in appears in Mary Kegley’s Early Adventures on the Western Waters: The
New River of Virginia, Wytheville, Virginia, 1995: "Abigaile Ramsay provided
midwifery services for Naner, Sal, and Pol (apparently slaves belonging to
Robert Sayers)." It appears that Abigail was able to "maintain" herself through
midwifery, but whether she remained separated from Joel or they were reconciled
is unknown. WRH writes this of his grandparents: "I recollect of seeing her many
times at our house; she lived with us several years in Kentucky. She died in
Russel Co., West Virginia. Grandfather also died in that county aged about 108."
There is nothing said here to indicate the state of their relationship but you
would not expect a late Victorian era gentleman to speak of such things. The
"Reminiscences" continually speak of Russell Co. West Virginia, a state that was
formed long after WRH left. He was either mistaken or meant west Virginia (since
he almost certainly wasn’t the typist). Russell Co. was and is in the state of
Virginia, though farther west than any part of the state of West Virginia.
Rather than 108, Joel Ramsey was more likely about 81 when he died. Those
reaching that advanced age often had 10 to 20 years tacked on by their proud
descendants.

Introduction to "The Descendants of Joel Ramsey and Abigail Freeman
Through Three Generations"
The following section has been assembled from many secondary sources and from
such primary records as census, printed marriage and printed cemetery records.
All these are subject to error, both the originals and my interpretation of
them. Census records, especially, can be highly variable. Those dates, which
have "abt" or "bef" or "aft", have been primarily derived from the census
records and are approximate. Before the 1880 census the relationship to the Head
of Household was not given, and children of the same surname living with a
family may actually be a niece, nephew or other relative rather than a son or
daughter. Another problem has been the confusion of the surnames "Ramsey" and
"Ramey", especially in indexes. These are easily distinguished in pronunciation,
but the written forms are sometimes difficult to interpret due to poor
handwriting. Mary K. Goodyear has a research outline of the various Ramey
families of eastern Kentucky at her web page at
http://www.bright.net/~kat/wmremy.htm
For these and many other reasons I have titled this the "First Research Report".
It is by no means a finished work and I welcome any additions and corrections.

45. This is the basis of his proposed family with an unknown first wife.
Letitia: According to an e-mail message from Lori Reynolds Weinstein, a
descendant of Letitia through her son Moses Sowards, "Shortly after the
marriage, Letitia is ordered to appear in court to give reasons why her children
should not be "bound out" (according to the law caring for "poor" children) and
Daniel Ramsey is called to testify for the same cause for his children." Letitia
is enumerated in the 1850 and 1860 Federal Censuses of Pike Co., KY with her son
Lewis Sowards and in the 1870 Federal Census of Johnson Co., KY with her
grandson Morgan Sowards. No divorce records have been found. Sarah: Was she the

Ramsey is assumed to be one of the sons of Daniel Ramsey based on the fact that
his widow was living adjacent to Daniel Ramsey in the 1850 Federal Census of
Pike Co., KY with her new husband, William Damron, two Ramsey sons, and two
small Damron daughters. She and her sons appeared to have been living with
Daniel and his previous wife, Letitia Sowards, based on the sex and ages of
those living in his household in the 1840 Federal Census of Pike Co., KY. Ruth:
Information about Ruth (Polly) Ramsey Damron comes from Kathleen Near.

Notes for ELLIOTT CHAPMAN HENSEL:
When he was 16 he went down into a sewer in St. Paul with 2 other boys to explore. They lit a match and there was a huge explosion. He was burned 1st degree over his entire body. He was nursed at home in the 'Tower Room' of 753 Lincoln Avenue St. Paul. The treatment of burns was very primitive and they took skin graphs from his buttocks to put onto his face but he was permanently scarred. During convalescence he dealt with the pain by Reading joke books and learning to do magic tricks, two things that interested him throughout his life. They built him a Theatre with a small stage in the "tower room" where he would put on magic shows. When he was 18, and his wounds had healed his father sent him to British Columbia where he worked as the Purser on a Steam Boat that carried prospectors and supplies up the Skinna River during the Yukon Gold Rush. The Indians would have to pull the boat up the rapids. The boat finished at Skagway. There are photographs of him in the Skagway Museum. While he worked for 2 years on the boat he met Jack London the writer and Mr. Service-the famous poet of the Yukon.

When he returned to St. Paul he worked as a shoe salesman and married Hazel Bolton. He had gone to school with her. His family was in the High Society and hers was not and they didn't approve of the marriage so they were married in a civil ceremony without his parents present.

He worked for the Herald Examiner and Oakland Tribune as the advertising editor. He also taught a night course at USC-advertising.
In the mid 1940's he collapsed with bleeding ulcers and his brother operated on him-giving him a new stomach and he left the newspaper. He then took pills to digest his food (hydrochloric acid) He then worked freelance for clients and would write monthly newsletters and monthly house organs. Goodall Tire Company.

He was the PR person for Xavier Cougats orchestra.[family works 2.FTW]

Family Recipes

This is not done enough in families now. Of course I am confused by how many people tell me they dont cook these days too. An art and relaxation that everyone should indulge in. All religions speak of how the body is our temple, then it makes good spiritual sense to devote time to preparation of what we build our temple with.

This is a call for all those family recipes you use. My mothers generation are some of the last to still carry these recipes around in their heads or a recipe box. But not suspecting my mother would die so out of the blue, I 'hadnt gotten' to writing my grandmothers famous Thousand Island dressing recipe or her devilled eggs down on paper. I only know that lemon juice and Lawry's seasoned salt make an excellent salad dressing. I know that refering to Fannie Farmer cookbooks will give me a close replica, but how lucky to know that.

So send me those recipes, and where they came from and we can archive them so all can share them. And cook, really try it...its fantastic.

This all came to mind when I helped Teal do her week for 'Student Of The World'. This needed to include Coat of Arms, Photos, Foods from your family backgrounds and a family tree, of course. Guess who's poster was lovingly put together with far too much information....oh well-she learned more. We served Mac n Cheese, a recipe handed down for a few generations on my husbands side (Putman/Kelly). It was a big hit and the biggest comments from a group of 8 year olds was 'My Grandma makes this same Mac n Cheese". I started to ask the ones who told me this where their Grandmothers were from. They all came from the NY, PA & NJ area. The same area my mother in law is from.

So here to start is a few recipes from the pages of Agnes Kelly Putman (Bruce's maternal side):

Notes for WILLIAM HANCOCK:
William Preston Johnston, in his "Johnstons of Salisbury", wrote that the Hancocks were among the founders of the Colony of Virginia and that they attained large wealth before the Revolution. The first mentioned is William Hancock. He was killed by Indians in the general massacre of March 22, 1622.

According to an old family bible (Simon Hancock-Jane Flournoy) which is now in the Library of Randolph Macon College, William Hancock, in 1620, in search of Forest for building of his ships, embarked for the plantation, being one of the company owners thereof, leaving his family in England; on 22 march, 1622he, along with others was massacred by Indians at Thorpe's House, Berkely Hundred, fifty miles from Charles City. In 1630, Augustine, son and heir of William, came to Virginia to claim his estate and died leaving children.

He left England on the bark "Margaret of Bristol" September 16, 1619. They dropped anchor in Chesapeake Bay November 30, 1619. On December 4, 1619 they landed at a site on the north shore of the James River, about halfway between Williamsburg and Richmond, Virginia.[family works 2.FTW]

Notes for SIMON HANCOCK:
In1635 Simon came to Virginia.

According to records from "Genealogies of VA Families of Lower Norfolk, Henrico and Bedford Co." Simon Hancock came to Virginia and settled on the Eastern Branch of the Elizabeth River in Lynhaven Parish in what is now Princess Anne Co. about 1637.

He was a planter.
Simon Hancock prior to May 26, 1642 had married Sarah Gaye,(widow of Gilbert gaye?).

His names appears frequently in the early records of Virginia. It seems Simon and a Mr. Robert Powis had many disputes-which continued for seven years.
He appears as the witness to a will of Richard Foster of Elizabeth River, VA.

June 1, 1652 he is granted 200 acres for the transportation into the Colony of Richard Hewett, John Cooper, Simon Robinson and George Gay.

He died sometime between June 1, 1652 and |June 22, 1654 as, on the latter date letters of administration were granted on his estate to his widow, Sarah Hancock. Following his death Sarah remarried a Mr. Pigot.

**Note: the Moseleys of Princess Anne County seem to have been among the most intimate friends of the Hancock family even before the marriage of one of their number to the duaghter of Simon Hancock. The friendship as well as the relationship persisted through ensuing generations with the removal of the Moseley and Hancock families during the latter part of the 17th century to Henrico Co.[family works 2.FTW]

Notes for SAMUEL HANCOCK:
Samuel inherited half of the farm from his brother John in 1763, with provision that his father be permitted to live there until his death. The property was situated along the Tarr River in an area that became Brute County, North Carolina. The Hancock property was in the area that would no longer be Brute, but Franklin County by 1779. Samuel purchased additional acreage along the same river the following year, 1764, and again in 1768.

By 1771 he was back in Amherst Co. Virginia where on March 25, 1771 he bought 247 acres from Joseph Ballinger in two parcels. He then sold the property the following year to his father in law Martin Dawson.

Samuel and his sons seemed to have prospered in North Carolina in the years immediately preceding, during and following the American revolution. Very little of the fighting took place in Carolina, however it took sides.[family works 2.FTW]

Generation No. 1

1. JOHN1 PEABODY was born 1590 in St. Albans, Hertfordshire, England, and died 1667 in Bridgewater, Mass. He married ISABEL HARPER Bet. 1608 - 1638. She was born 1592 in St. Albans, England, and died Bet. 1624 - 1686.

The name Peabody is said to have originated during the reign of Nero, when Queen Broadicia was located at Icena, Briton. This Brave Queen opposed the Romans in their invasion of the country and with her son Boadie, took refuge in the craggy heights of Wales. Among his Britain’s "Boadie" signified a man of great strength and Pea meant "hill or mountain". Consequently the name Peabody was applied to a mountain man. This name became the name of a tribe and in some branches of the family, "Boadie" became anglicized to the name Mann and Pea into the well-known name of Hill.

In later times the name was spelled in different ways; Pbodie, Paybody, and Peabody. One of the earliest settlers in America of this name was William Pabodie who was a member of Captain Miles Standish's military company of Mass. in 1643. John Peabody was another early settler who was active colonist of the Bay State, serving as its ensign, captain and deputy to the general court.

Boutemont / Putman Family

2007-01-14T19:00:00.000-08:00

THE GERMAN PUTMAN FAMILY

This is a brief early history of the German Putman Family in America.
Many early settlers in America could not read nor write and their names were
recorded the way the sounded to county court clerks who wrote up the early deeds and other papers. It seems that the German Putmans descend from a family in the German Palatinate originally spelled Boutemont which was French and then later 'Germanized' to Buttman, and then 'Anglicized' in America to Putman as the German B sounds like the English P.

Boutemont was pronounced Bootmon which changed quickly to Putman here.
The first of the family to come to America was Andreas or Andrew. He came on the ship Osgood and landed in Philadelphia on September 29, 1750.
On September 25, 1751 Philip Boudemont arrived in Philadelphia on the Phoenix from
Rotterdam by way of Portsmouth, England.

The Boudemonts were French Huguenots that had fled just across the border into Germany in the early 1600s. The name was originally Boutemont and that was changed into the more Germanic spelling like many others in the Paletinate area of Southwest Germany on the French Border.
The earliest member of the family we can trace was Jacob Boudemont.
JACOB BOUDEMONT
Jacob was born about 1660 in northern France. He married Jeanne Daudigny there, and they soon left France for Germany. They left France because their Hugenot beliefs were not accepted by the then French king. They settled near Rohrbach, Pfalz, Germany and seem to have remained there the rest of their lives.Jacob had at least one child, Phillip.
PHILLIP BOUDEMONT
Phillip Boudemont was born in Muhlofen in the German Palatinates near Rohrbach on July 28,1685. Phillip was married to Maria Magdalene Buchell in about 1707 in Rohrbach. They lived in Rohrbach, Kreis Berggzabern, Germany. Phillip died in Rohrbach January 27, 1762. Maria was born in 1686 in Minfeld and died in Rohrbach March 5, 1741. Phillip and Mary Magdelene Boutemont had four children:
MARIA MAGDALENA BOUDEMONT born February 14, 1710.
PHILIP JACOB BOUDEMONT born in December 1711, christened December 25, 1711.
His wife was Maria Elizabeth (no last name that I have. He went to America a few years
after his brother Andreas.
ANDREAS BOUDEMONT born in June 1716, christened June 10, 1716. He is covered
next.
JOHAN PHILIP BOUDEMONT born and christened August 4, 1722. He married Anna
Catharina Gebauer in Rohrback June 10, 1749. He remained in Rohrbach until his death on November 3, 1792.
ANDREW PUTMAN of Maryland & Pennsylvania
Much of what I have on this family, which is well documented comes from an early family
history of the ANDREW PUTMAN, CHRISTIAN WYANDT & ADAM SNYDER FAMILIES by the Reverend E. C. Wyand written around 1915, and from a later GENEALOGY OF THE PUTMANS written in 1949 by Charles Ross Shultz.
Andrew Putman was born in Rohrbach in the German Palatinate region near the French border on June 10, 1716 as Andreas Boudemont. The name was Anglicized to Putman shortly after arrival in Pennsylvania.
"Our ancestor ANDREW PUTMAN was born in Rohrbach in the Bavarian Palatinate on
June 10, 1716, the son of Philip and Maria Magdalene BOUDEMONT. On January 10,
1747, at the Reformed Church in Rohrbach, he was married to Catherine Barbara
BOURGEY, daughter of Nicholas BOURGEY, a resident of nearby Mohrfelden.
These villages are in southwestern Germany, halfway between Kaiserslautern and
Karlsrhue not far from the French border. You will note that these two names seem to be
French. Large numbers of French Huguenots had fled to Germany in the late 1600s when
the French Protestants were being persecuted for their beliefs."
After landing in Philadelphia, Andrew Putman and other Germans made their way southwest to new lands in Maryland. Andrew was baptized on September 5th, 1762 by the Reverend Otterbein at the German Reformed Church of Frederick Town. He was naturalized later that month on September 24th in Frederick and began farming in the Middletown Valley, Frederick County.
Andrew's brother, Philip, had settled in this area several years earlier.
The family moved to Washington County in 1770 settling on a 50 acre tract of land called Root's Hill which he bought from Joseph Chapline on December 18th, 1769. He also purchased an additional tract referred to as Partnership which was part of the resurvey of Root's Hill and was included in the original deed. The area is near Eakles Mills, Maryland. Not much more is known about Andrew Putman except for the will he left in 1777 which namedhis wife and children. He apparently was ill when he wrote his will on February 4, 1777 and it was probated on June 14, 1777 after his death in Washington County, Maryland. His wife Catherine was to have the use of the farm until her death. The farm was later sold by the heirs to Christian Wyandt who farmed the land and cared for Catherine Putman, his mother in law. This original wooden farm house was still standing in the 1920s and was occupied by the Snyder family, Andrew's descendants.
After Andrew Putman's death, most of the children moved north into Somerset County in
Pennsylvania just above the Maryland line. Later many members of the family moved westward to Ohio and then spread out all across America.
The following is what I know about the children of Andrew and Catherine Putman. Virtually everything that follows comes from the Charles Schultz book. I have only gone out three generations, Shultz brought each up to the time of publication in many, many cases.

Many Thanks to Bill Putman for his website and research.

Gotleb Hensel
Generation No. 1

JOHN GOTLEB1 HENSEL was born 16 Dec 1789 in Rosenthal, Oschatz, Saxony, Germany, and died 10 Jul 1876 in Philadelphia, PA. He married MARY DORTHEA VOGDON in Philadelphia, Pa, and I have had little luck in finding much information on this family other than she was born 06 Feb 1799 in Lichtenau, Baden, Germany, and died Sep 1883 in Philadelphia, PA.
(the excerpt below is from the 1909 document)

As a young man, John G. Hensel sailed to the United States (exact time unknown) with his brother Christian Hensel. John settled in Philadelphia and Christian settled near Newburgh, Cumberland County, PA.

John started out as a Baker and Confectioner at a shop on the north side of Callowhill Street, near 4th or 5th Street, Philadelphia. The house and shop may still stand but the exact location cannot be determined.

All his children were probably born in the Callowhill Street home. They attended the St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church on Race Street below 6th, which was the oldest English Lutheran Church in the world. The church was torn down about 1924 to make way for the Philadelphia approach to the Delaware River Bridge.

After all his children had married and with the help of his eldest son, Henry W. Hensel, he purchased 3 acres on the East bank of the Schuylkill River a few miles north of Norristown, PA. He and Mary Dorthea lived quietly. When both had become quite old they accepted the invitation of their children to spend the last years with them. John G. lived with his eldest son Henry at 2113 Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia until he dies of heat prostration in 1876. His wife Mary Dorthea lived the balance of her days with Daughter Mary Hensel Wolf at 1718 N. Park Avenue, Philadelphia, until her death from a fall on a stairway in 1883.

They are both buried on a hillside of Laurel Hill Cemetery, Philadelphia.
