5704 First name from daughter's Esther's marriage record. Last name comes from an article in vol. 16 of the NEGHS that is quoted in full under her daughter Esther's husband Peter Edes. It says this of him: "Peter Edes married Esther, daughter of Stephen and Grace (Willis) Hall, Dec. 10th, 1729; and by her had seven children."
I'd like more substantiation than this, but it's a start.

He was a congressman.

A family story: during the war, apparently, when he was a congressman in D.C., he was approached by two men who said they were Confederates who asked him for a sandwich. He gave one to them. They were, however, spies, and he was arrested and jailed for the war. He was re-elected after the war.

There are two letters from him to Dr. Thomas J. Franklin, one in 1859, one in 1867. 
Harris, Benjamin Gwinn (I9586)
 
5714 For Jacob and his children I rely almost exclusively on S334. This refers to two other works on the Iglehart family which it at least began with. Since it is mostly focused on migrations by some of the family westward, I would guess that it took most of its information on Maryland directly from these.

1. John E. Iglehart (1848-1934), "The Iglehart Family"
2. Francis B. Culver, "The Iglehart Family of Maryland" (1924)

The story (which begs for some substantiation!) is that in about 1690, "Count Johann von Eichelhardt was involved in the conspiracy of the Count von Benedict against the Emperor Karl VI. The plot was frustrated but Johann von Eichelhardt escaped and took refuge in England. Ultimately the Emperor was informed of his presence in England and in 1707 Queen Anne yielded to the request of the Emperor and expelled von Eichelhardt and his sons from England. The subsequent history of the family is obscure but it was said that one son settled in New York and two sons came to Maryland" (I-2). Part of the reason why it was obscure is that dates don't add up: Jacob was born about 1720, so he can't be one of the sons who was expelled. So what is the connection?

One further source on the family, cited in Cleveland, is "Iglehart Family of Maryland," by Mrs. Robert Emory Costen of Ellicot City, Maryland (1968).

What is the connection between this family and the family of Capt. Thomas Iglehart (b. 1771) who married Ann Luckett? Thomas is buried right near to Jacob's descendants at All Hallows in Davidsonville, so there must be a connection. I assume Capt. Thomas was a grandson of Jacob, but how? 
Iglehart, Jacob (I10577)
 
5715 For more on her family, see Mareen Duvall of Middle Plantation, because of her second husband.

She and her husband Samuel Duvall are, apparently, direct ancestors of Vice-President Dick Cheney; see http://www.wargs.com/political/cheney.html. He is also descended from Samuel's half-sister Susannah, daughter of Mareen and his first wife Elizabeth ?Brashears. His patronym is not descended from the Cheyney family of Maryland (that is, from Elizabeth's mother's family), but from immigrant William Cheney of Massachusetts.

5727 Frazee calls him the second son. The birth date of "about 1769" seems to be a guess.

He came to Bracken Co. to live in about 1806.

His will, as Edward Hamilton, appears in Bracken county on 23 April 1826. It names wife Mary, sons Herod, John, Samuel, William; daughters Rachel Moins, Esther Moins.

This abstract seems to conflicts with the abstract in in Jana Sloan Broglin abstract, which gives a date of 1827? 
Hamilton, James Edward "Ned" (I4220)
 
5728 Frazee gives two different dates for his birth: 14 Sep. 1803 on page 577; and 20 Jul 1805 on page 554. I go with the latter because it seems to be part of a first person transcript. This may also be a mistake because there was another child born in 1805. Hamilton, Joel (I4748)
 
5729 Frazee names him as the son of his father's brother Samuel (561). This seems to be a misake. I've seen notes (including one set at the KHS in Frankfort about this family) that John O. Hamilton, the son of John P., is the War of 1812 veteran who served in Capt. Baker's company.

Those notes say that, in 1851 and 1855, John O. Hamilton, in Gallatin Co., Kentucky, signed affadavits about his service in the War of 1812 to apply for Bounty Land grants for War of 1812 veterans; in them, he claims his age as 56 and 60 respectively, which places him as born abt. 1794. And, both seem to have been born in Sherman's Valley, PA. (A survey of the rootsweb databases, btw, is about 50/50 for this or that one, none of which gives better documentation than I have here).

The other reason is for putting John O. here is that the biography below gives a birth date which would be before Samuel's marriage.

On findagrave.com are pictures of the graves of John O., Hannah, and Grace Hamilton in Gallatin Co. The site says that John O. is the son of John and Deborah Perkins Hamilton. The Gallatin Co. grave does not, however, say who is parents are.

He is on the War of 1812 page.

From Kentucky Rootsweb Biography Project; this bio. is focused on John O.'s grandaughter, but it is mostly on him:

"MISS ELIZA HAMILTON is a native of Gallatin County, Ky., and is a daughter of John O. Hamilton, whose grandfather crossed the ocean at an early day in the history of this country, and settled in Maryland. There were born his father and all his older brothers and sisters. His father, determining upon a change of location, started with his family for Kentucky, then almost a wilderness. Learning, on his way through Pennsylvania, that the Indians along the Ohio River were troublesome and dangerous, he stopped for a year or two at a point in that State called Sherman's Valley. Here, August 25, 1794, Father Hamilton was born. When he was about a year old his father again started for Kentucky, and upon arrival there, settled at a point in Bracken County, five miles back of the town of Augusta, called Cross-Roads, now Chatham, where he lived many years and accumulated a considerable estate. Here Mr. Hamilton's childhood, youth and early manhood were spent. From here he made one or more trips on flat boats to New Orleans, returning overland and carrying the proceeds of his sales, largely in silver, in saddle bags, a long and dangerous journey in those days. Here for a few years he was in the general merchandising business, and here, in the year 1817, he married Hannah Gregg, a high-minded, warm-hearted woman, a true help-mate, who bore him nine children, and who for twenty years faithfully shared the toils and sacrifices that laid the foundation of his fortune. Of these children four daughters and one son survive, two sons and two daughters preceding him to the grave.
It was from this point also that in the war of 1812, when not yet nineteen years old, he enlisted in Capt. Baker's company of Mason County Volunteers, to go to the relief of Fort Meigs, then closely beleaguered by the British and Indians. His company went by the way of Cincinnati. He succeeded in entering the fort, and assisted in its defense. He distinguished himself for courage and activity. At one time, when a heavy fire compelled the defenders to shelter themselves behind the ramparts, the officer in command, suspecting that the enemy was marching to the assault, asked for some one to mount the ramparts, survey the situation, and report. The danger was so great that no on responded until Mr. Hamilton came by, and, learning what was wanted, sprang immediately upon the parapet, took a rapid look around, and sprang down again. Short as the time was, he was a target for many of the enemy's rifles, and a bullet from one grazed his shoulder. The officer who had asked the service, laid his sword lightly on the mark of the bullet and said, "Ah, my brave fellow, some day that shoulder shall wear an epaulette [sic]." At one time a shell fell near him. Falling, to escape the explosion, a heavy clod, thrown up by the shell, fell on his back, inflicting injuries from which he, perhaps, never fully recovered. With the relief of Fort Meigs his time of service expired. He volunteered again, however, to go to the assault of Fort Malden, but this being found burned and abandoned, the boy soldier returned home.
Mr. Hamilton came to this part of Kentucky in the fall of 1818, buying land at a point on Eagle Creek, in Owen County, called the Jump Off. In the fall of 1819 he bought the farm of Moses Rae, in Gallatin County, and in January, 1820, he moved his family to the latter purchase. On this, or land added to it, he made his home until his death. Several years after the death of his first wife, Hannah Gregg, he married Miss Grace A. Andrews, who bore him a son and a daughter.
His taste for reading was formed in early youth, and he retained through life his keen, close observation; his strong common sense, clear judgment and retentive memory, enabled him to gather and carry into the affairs of life an unusually large fund of practical information. He was a natural leader of men, of indomitable energy and will, and for half a century was prominent in the affairs of his country. He was a warm politician, devoted to his convictions, and so thoroughly posted in the political history of his times, and so clear in his judgment of men and the practical bearing of political questions, that men prominent in the affairs of the Nation--congressmen, governors, senators and vice-presidents--visited his house, sought and appreciated his advice.
He was a man of spotless integrity. For twenty-seven years a magistrate, and at one time sheriff of the county, always having large dealings with the people, and moving, as it were, in the clear light among them for sixty-six years, not a single spot was ever visible upon his reputation for honorable [sic] dealing. He was naturally a fair-minded man, weighing the opposite side impartially. Persons who expected to find so strong a character controlled by prejudice, were surprised to see every argument in opposition to his cherished convictions fairly and candidly considered. To owe no man anything, to deal justly with all men in all things, was the honorable ambition of this life. He was a social man of the old-time courtesy; a fine entertainer, with a trait of genial humor that drew friends around, and made his home a social center for many years. But advancing years and increasing infirmities so closely confined him in later years, that gradually the circle of acquaintances grew smaller. Yet to the last he retained his genial humor, and the social fire in his heart burned clear and strong. He was a man of kindly feeling and generous impulses, yet so unostentatious in his dealing with the poor that few gave him the credit for liberality that was his due. A large loaner of money to persons in Gallatin and adjoining counties, he, at times, held many completely in his power; yet, in all these years, and in all these large dealings, he was never known to oppress. To his assistance, patience and forbearance, many owed their homes, and bore grateful testimony to his kindness of heart. He was a man that veiled his deeper feelings from the gaze of men. Few suspected that through the firm granite of his nature there ran golden veins of tender sentiment, and that the man of strong character and firm will was one whose nature was as genial as the sunshine, and who could be moved to tears by a simple song, who loved the beautiful in art and nature, and who,

Whene'er a noble deed was wrought,
Whene'er was uttered a noble thought.

stood with uncovered head in reverential appreciation. Mr. Hamilton died December 18, 1885.
Miss Eliza Hamilton received a good English education at Carrollton, and at Warsaw College. She owns 135 acres of land, all in a high state of cultivation, having all the modern improvements."

5730 Friskney is the name of a town close by Spilsby in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire.

In the 1891 census, when the family was living in Islington, his job is described as “hotel servant.” The 1901 census describes him as a “hotel porter.” He died later that year in Islington.

Children’s names are taken from the 1891 and 1901 censuses.

5745 From Cyrus Eaton, The History of Thomaston: "Adam Levensaler, a cooper from Waldoboro', after working some years for [General] Knox, married, purchased and built where he passed the remainder of his life in the house recently occupied by his son Lincoln, toward Oyster River."

Note, Eastern Argus (Portland, ME), 24 Nov. 1835: "Accident. Mr. Adam Levensaler of Thomaston, was thrown upon a rock recently by a frightened ox, so violently as to fracture his skull. There is some prospect of his recovery."

There are two chairs in the family, from about 1840, from Maine, which are apparently Levensaler chairs.

A key reference here is The Levensalers of Waldoboro Maine, by Walter Levensaler. This is a huge help for the early immigrants, and the family bible records. The study has, however, a major error in that WHP McLellan (the husband of Adam's daughter Leonora) is given the 1842 death date of his father William McLellan, his father. As a result, many of the children of WHP and Leonora are not accounted for there.

I don't know whether this is the same Samuel Waters or not, but the dates seem the most likely of any Samuel Waters in my database.

5760 From her husband John Gregg Fee's autobiography: "My mother was industrious and economical; a modest, tender-hearted woman, and a fond mother. I was her first born. She loved me very much, and I loved her in return. Her mother, Sarah Gregg, was a Quakeress from Pennsylvania. Her eldest son, Aaron Gregg, my wife's grandfather, was an industrious free laborer, an ardent lover of liberty, and very outspoken in his denunciations of slavery. This opposition to slavery and his love of liberty passed to his children and children's children, almost without exception." She was her husband's first cousin, once removed.

She like her parents, her uncle John D. Gregg (her mother's brother), and her grandparents the Greggs were abolitionists. 
Hamilton, Matilda (I4238)
 
5761 From her marriage record: "daughter of the deceased Bernard Piron, resident of Leogane, and of Dame Rose Goldron, widow, and aged about 30." Pirou, Ursule (I16376)
 
5762 From her son John Gregg Fee's autobiography: "My mother was industrious and economical; a modest, tender-hearted woman, and a fond mother. I was her first born. She loved me very much, and I loved her in return. Her mother, Sarah Gregg, was a Quakeress from Pennsylvania. Her eldest son, Aaron Gregg, my wife's grandfather, was an industrious free laborer, an ardent lover of liberty, and very outspoken in his denunciations of slavery. This opposition to slavery and his love of liberty passed to his children and children's children, almost without exception." Gregg, Sarah (I4400)
 
5763 From his father in 1777 he received "all the remainder of the last mentioned land [‘Enfield Chase,' parts of which had been given to his older brothers John and Thomas] which I hold, my dwelling houses to be included thereon." He lived at "Enfield Chase" in Prince George's County, was constable of Pautexent Hundred Nov. 23, 1779, and March 27, 1781. In the 1790 census he had 1 male over 16, 2 females, and 52 slaves.

He is possibly the Isaac who married Elizabeth Whitaker, according to Pountney, because in 1801 a deed to some land is signed by his wife "Elizabeth." A marriage between Isacc Lansdale and Elizabeth Whitaker took place in PG Co. on June 19, 1794. If this is so, then he named his daughter Catherine Brooke, born in 1800 by his second wife, after his first wife.

He was married in the same parish in which the children of Charles Lansdale and Catherine Wheeler's children were born and married.

He apparently died intestate, so I think that the following bill pertains to him. The three children's names are almost a match (though I don't know of an Isaac), and they were minors.

Session Laws, 1808, State of Maryland
An ACT for the benefit of the children of Isaac Lansdale, deceased, of Prince George's county.
Passed 23d of Dec. 1808.
WHEREAS it has been represented to this general assembly, by the petition of Elizabeth Lansdale, widow, and Clement Brooke, administrators of Isaac Lansdale, deceased, of Prince George's county, that the said Isaac Lansdale died intestate, indebted to a considerable amount, and possessed of a very valuable tract of land in Prince-George's county, and several trails of land in Saint-Mary's county, together with a large personal estate, leaving three children, Isaac Lansdale, Kitty Lansdale and Elizabeth Mary Lansdale, who are minors: And whereas it is also represented, that the interests of the said minors would be greatly promoted by the sale of the lands in Saint Mary's county for the benefit of the creditors, therefore,
II. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the chancellor shall have full power and authority, on the petition of the said Elizabeth Lansdale and Clement Brooke, provided he shall be satisfied that it will conduce to the benefit of the said minors, and secure the interests of the creditors of the said Isaac Landsdale, deceased, to order and decree the sale of the said tracts of land in Saint-Mary's county, upon such terms as he may think proper, and to appoint a trustee or trustees for the purpose of effecting such sale.
III. AND BE IT ENACTED, That any sale made under the authority granted by the provisions of this act, shall be notified to, and confirmed by, the chancellor, before the conveyance of the property shall be made, and bond, in the name of the state of Maryland, with good and sufficient security to be approved of by him, shall be given by the person or persons empowered to sell the lands under the decree aforesaid, for the due execution of the trust, which bond shall be deposited with the register of the court of chancery, to be by him recorded, and shall be subject to be put. in suit by any person or persons interested.
IV. AND BE IT ENACTED, That the trustee or trustees to be appointed by the decree aforesaid, shall be accountable to the guardian of the said minors and the administrators of the said Isaac Landsdale, deceased, under the direction of the chancellor, and shall pay over the money arising from the sale of the tracts of lands aforesaid, in such manner as the chancellor shall or may direct.
V. AND BE IT ENACTED, That any conveyance or deed made by the trustee or trustees aforesaid, under the decree of the chancellor as aforesaid, shall be, and the same is hereby declared to be, valid and effectual to pass and convey all the right, title and interest, of the said minors, in and to the, tracts of land aforesaid, to the purchaser or purchasers of the same.

[There is something funny here: 1833 minus 89 is 1734. So I assume that both of these are the same Richard Kirk, and one of the death dates is a decade off--presumably the latter, if he appeared giving an affadavit at age 93. Why, though, would this then insist on 89 years?]

5770 From http://www.sonic.net/~prouty/prouty/d687.htm:

"Thomas HYLAND (1364) (1627)(1099) was born about 1604 in England.(1364) He was baptized on 23 Apr 1604 in England, Sussex, Waldron.(1669) (1364) He died in 1683 in USA, Massachusetts, Plymouth Co., Scituate.(1364) The Hylands of Scituate variously spelled their surname Highland, Hiland, Hilland, and Hyland, with Hyland being the most common.

Thomas first removed to Tenterden, where Sarah was born, and later came to Scituate. [Biggs]

Thomas was from Tenterden, Kent, England. Most of his children were probably born there.[Savage]

"Thomas Hyland was freeman in Scituate 1638. His farm was on the fourth cliff, principally, but his house was on Kent street, nearly opposite to the lane called 'the drift way.' He came from Tenterden in Kent, England. There is no record of the birth of his children. It, however, appears that his daughter Debora was the second wife of Serjeant William Ticknor, 1666, and a daughter Mary, the third wife of John Bryant, se. 1664, and Ruth, single, 1664, and Sarah, wife of Thomas Turner, 1652. He mentions these daughters in his deeds of settlement, 1664. He had a son Samuel, who died a soldier in Philip's war, 1676. His wife Elizabeth executor, and Sergeant John Bryant bondsman." [Deane]

James Cudworth sold his Scituate home to Thomas Hyland when he went to Barnstable in 1640.

Thomas resided on Kent Street opposite a lane called 'Drift Way,' and had a farm on the Fourth Cliff. (The old lane called 'Drift Way' in early records has later been known as Ridgehill St., and is not to be confused with the present [1936] road around the hills, called the 'Drift Way.') [Briggs]

On Feb. 1, 1638 he "tooke the oath of allegiance to the King and fidelitie to the colony" in Scituate, [Plym. Col. Rec., 1:110]. He died after 28 Oct 1681when reference is made to "old Thomas Hieland" in court records [Plym. Col. Rec., 6:78]. "

"Having an older brother (Jacob) who was to inherit ‘Oakland,' Thomas went to Annapolis where he engaged in the banking business and for many years was the cashier of The Farmer's Bank. On the death of his father, Oakland became his property, Jacob having died in 1817, but sold it in 1848 to his son Thomas John."

According to McIntire, he was a cashier at Farmer's National Bank. Henry Hall Harwood (d. 1839) was president of the Farmer's Bank

5787 From J. Harris Franklin's Notes (this addition by JL Sr.):
"Richard Hyatt attended at birth by Dr. Franklin Waters. See old account book of Dr. Waters at Essex, Maryland. JL." This is Ledger book B, fol. 71.

Ledger C, 1837, fol. 71: "1837, July 14: To attention to __ delivering Mrs. L. of a Male childe 24 hrs. detention."

He was the last surving child of Harriet F. Lansdale. I assume this picture is him; it is from a folder of "cartes de visite" which was preserved at "Essex," and is only labeled "Richard Lansdale."

He went to Oregon during the last year of the Civil War and spend five years there with his uncle (and namesake) Richard; they did pony express work there for 5 years or so. He returned to Maryland abt. 1870.

In the 1880 census he is living with his first wife, a niece Anne Griffith (aged 7), a cook (Harriet Clark, black, aged 20) and her 1-year-old daughter Margaret; William Simpson (black, aged 18, "house boy"); and Loyd (Boyd?) Plummer (black, aged 36, "farm hand").

In the 1900 census he is living with his wife and daughter and an Aunt Margaret (last name Owens?, but this is crossed out), born Mar. 1825 (aged 75) in Maryland. Could this be Margaret Dorsey?

I assume that he is the owner of "Waredaca," at 4015 Damascus Rd., Laytonsville, MD, which is Maryland Inventory of Historic Property no. M-23-14.

"Ann--Aunt Nancy--is one of the most interesting characters in the family." Mary [her sister] died early in life, leaving 4 young children & Elizabeth [another of her sisters] also died young leaving 4 children--Aunt Nancy took it upon herself to raise them at ‘Oakland.' This was done with the most loving care. Today at ‘Oakland' there still blooms a rose planted by ‘Aunt Nancy' not later than 1819. & like the rose the memory of ‘Aunt Nancy' blooms in our hearts for the self-sacrificing care & devotion shown those babys. But for her many of these pages would never have been needed. (8-25-1925--J.H.F.)"

5801 From Suzanne Ormond, Louisiana's Art Nouveau (p. 152):

"Mrs William Benjamin Gregory was born in New Orleans on January 1, 1870. In 1884 she had her first drawing lesson with Ellsworth Woodward, and was a member of the first class in pottery decoration, which opened at Newcomb in the fall of 1895. In 1896 she was awarded a Diploma in Art. She married William Gregory, at that time a member of the faculty of the College of Engineering, Tulane University, on June 21, 1898, in Newcomb Chapel. President Johnston sent his carriage for the bride."
"In the printed catalog of 1898-99 Selina Bres Gregory is listed as a graduate in normal art; in 1900-01, as a graduate art student; in 1901-2, as graduate in normal art; in 1909-10, as an art craftsman. While at Newcomb, Mrs. Gregory is said to have sold for a private collection the first piece of pottery ever sold. She published the first souvenir postcard in the South, and exhibited often with the New Orleans Art Association and the Arts and Crafts Club, having been an organizer and charter member of the latter.
"Mrs. Gregory was a person of many interests. She studied voice and piano for several years and was soloist for twenty-five years at the First Unitarian Church, along with Clayton Nairne and Armand Kreeger, and she assisted in the first New Orleans Christmas Caroling. She directed a Realization Day kitchen for the first Realization Day of Tulane University for the benefit of the stadium, raising over five thousand dollars in one day. She founded both the Lend-a-Hand Club, an early volunteer teaching organization, and the Louisiana Engineering Society, becoming its first president.
"Her specialty was pottery decoration. She died in Paris, France, on November 6, 1953, and was buried in New Orleans."

5804 From the Biographical Review for Cumberland County, Maine:

William H. McLellan, a blacksmith and farmer, residing in Gorham, is a native-born citizen, his birth having occurred here, May 10, 1845.  His Great-great-grandfather, Hugh McLellan, was the original ancestor in this country, coming to Cumberland County from Ireland, the place of his birth.  He was one of the earliest settlers of Gorham, building the first brick house ever erected within its limits.  This house is still standing on the Fort Hill Road, being in a good state of preservation.   The next line of descent was Carey McLellan; and then came William McLellan, Sr., grandfather of William H.  William McLellan, Sr., was a lifelong resident of Gorham and a farmer by occupation.  He married Mehitabel Harmon, who bore him eight children, two of whom are now living-John, a resident of New Orleans; and Eunice, wife of Henry Harmon, of Scarborough.

William McLellan, Jr., father of William H., was the fourth child of the parental household.   On arriving at man's estate, he settled down to farming on the old homestead, where he continued until his death in 1851.  His wife, Mary Jane, daughter of Nathaniel Meserve, of New Hampshire, survived him ten years, dying in 1861.  Both were Baptists in religion, and the father was a Democrat in politics.  Of the seven children born to them, six are living, the following being their record:   Eliza Ann, widow of Ezekiel Harmon, of Hollis, ME, has two children-Merrow and Jane; Mary W., wife of Alexander Allen, of Gorham, has four children-Elmira, Della, Frank, and Edgar; Charles I. Married the late Clara Libby, who died January 16, 1888 leaving three children Mary, Charles, and Albert; William H. is the chief subject of this sketch; Winifred, wife of George Douglas, has five children-Orman, Adma, Frank, Clifford, and Alverdo; John married Cassandana Haskell, of Windham, and has six children-Eva, Herbert, Mellen, Annie, Bertha, and Hugh.  

William H. McLellan attended the public schools of Gorham during his boyhood, and afterward went to Saco, where he worked fourteen months for Littlefield & Towle, learning the blacksmiths trade.  Going from Saco to Portland, he worked at his trade five years, first with Martin Pennell, and then with J.M. Kimball.  On account of ill health he gave up all work for a time, remaining unemployed until 1874, when he went to Little Falls Village, in the town of Gorham, where he resumed blacksmithing, working with his brother, John McLellan.  In 1876 he established himself in business in Gorham, building up an extensive patronage in his locality.  In 1887 he bought his farm of sixty acres, on which he has since resided, carrying on general husbandry.  As soon as well settled on his farm he erected his present blacksmith's shop, and now divides his attention between the plough and the forge, being very successful in both branches of industry.

On September 24, 1876, Mr. McLellan was united in marriage with Ella M., fourth daughter of Oliver P. Haskell, of Windham. Her parents reared nine children, seven girls and two boys.   They are both members of the Baptist church, of North Gorham.  Mr. & Mrs. McLellan have three children, as follows: George W., born February 18, 1878; Ada N., born July 6, 1882, and Mary J., born July 28, 1884. Mr. & Mrs. McLellan attend the Baptist Church. In politics Mr. McLellan is independent; and, socially, he is identified by membership with Gorham Lodge, No. 98, Independent Order of Odd Fellows; Oriental Lodge, No. 17, Knights of Pythias; and with Nagwaumquay Tribe, No. 36, of South Windham. 
McLellan, William H. (I4733)
 
5805 From the biography of his son:

"George Fricke, son of the pioneer and father of Ernest Fricke, was born July 3, 1849, in Washington County, Texas, and has spent his life about Round Top since 1864. He married Matilda Henkel, a daughter of Edward Henkel, who was justice of the peace for the Round Top locality for years and a native of Hessen-Castle, Germany, coming to the United States in 1848 and settling in Fayette County. He was an early merchant at Round Top, and after the war between the North and South devoted his life chiefly to public affairs. He erected some of the first structures at Round Top, was active in democratic politics, served his community ably as public official and private citizen, and died in 1894, one of the best known men of his locality. Mr. Henkel married Miss Louisa Schoenwerk for his first wife, and after her death was united with her sister, Matilda Schoenwerk. Of the Henkel children there were: Charley, who died unmarried; Mrs. Matilda Fricke; George, who resides at Dallas, Texas; and Albert, who died without issue. George Fricke has passed his life in agricultural pursuits, and his home is now near Round Top. He has had the following children: Ernest, of this review; Edward, a successful merchant at Woodsboro, Texas; Miss Louisa, who is engaged in teaching in Caldwell County, Texas; Albert, who is engaged in teaching in Refugio County; and Annita, the youngest, who is a schoolgirl." 
Fricke, George (I4337)
 
5806 From the biography of his son:

"Mr. Fricke was born in Washington County, Texas, June 28, 1856, and is a son of the pioneer founder of this German family, George H. Fricke. The father was born in the city of Hanover, province of Hanover, Germany, September 19, 1821, a son of Louise (Rehren) Fricke. The grandfather was an official in the service of the government. Among the children of the grandparents' family were: several daughters who remained in Europe; August, who remained in Hanover and served his government; George H., the father of Fred; and Dr. Fred, who came to the United States and located first at St. Louis, Missouri, but later went to Pine Bluff, Arkansas, where he died in 1873 unmarried. A son of August Fricke, Fred Fricke, is a well-to-do druggist of Nebraska, and another son, Ernst, came to the United States, married in New Orleans, was a civil engineer and machinist, and died in Cuba while on a mission in connection with his profession.

"George H. Fricke sailed from Bremen, Germany, in 1846, and after his arrival at Galveston, removed to Washington County, Texas. He was not there long before he entered the service of the United States as a soldier for duty during the Mexican war, but after six months of military life became ill and was recuperated in a Houston hospital, then receiving his honorable discharge. Upon his recovery he returned to Europe and married Miss Rehren, with whom he soon returned to his first permanent place of settlement in Washington County, Texas.

"George H. Fricke was a well-educated man, and when he first began civic life in Texas it was as a teacher and farmer. He followed his educational career during almost all of his life, finishing his work in Fayette County, whence he had moved in 1864. He was several times justice of the peace in Washington County, and was busy with the duties of that office and his educational labors when the Civil war broke out. Mr. Fricke had early taken out his citizenship papers, and as he was a friend of the Union he espoused the cause of the republican party. He had come to Texas during the formative state of the commonwealth and at a time when many of her heroes of independence were still living, among whom he formed a wide acquaintance. He knew personally the great leader, Gen. Sam Houston, and it is probable that his warmth of feeling for the Union was inspired by the attitude of the general. Mr. Fricke was a man able of expressing himself on public occasions, and during gatherings in his community of any nature he was invariably called upon to preside or to speak. He was confirmed in the Lutheran Church, but never was connected with a fraternal order.

"His death occurred in October, 1893, Mrs. Fricke having preceded him to the grave, March 12, 1880. Their children were as follows: George, who is engaged in farming in the vicinity of Round Top; Paul, who resides at Brenham, Texas; Dora, who married first Otto Grumbka and second Charles Schreiber and died at Rutersville, Texas; Mary, who died in Austin County, Texas, as Mrs. Theo. Buehrina; Susan, who became the wife of Julius Holckamp and died in Kendall County, Texas; Fred, of this review; Regina, who, died as Mrs. Charles Huth; at Austin; Ida, who married Albert Real and lives near Kerrville, Texas; and Clara, who married Albert Giebel and resides on a farm near Industry. [ . . . ]" 
Fricke, George H. (I4333)
 
5807 From The Bowies and Their Kindred, by Walter Worthngton Bowie:

She was the daughter of Isaac and Catherine Brooke Lansdale. In 1866 Mrs. Bowie had the sorrow of seeing her beautiful home pass from the family. She survived all of her children except her youngest son, and died Oct 22, 1867, at "The Valley," the residence of Maj. Thomas F. Bowie, a grandnephew of her husband, and is buried at "Mattaponi" and marble slab marks her grave.

5808 From the Maryland Gazette, 16 Nov. 1815: "Franklin, Mrs. Eliza, consort of Thomas Franklin, of Annap., died Mon. last [Nov. 13]" Maccubbin, Eliza (I3269)
 
5809 From the Maryland Gazette, Dec. 1, 1808: "Franklin, Thomas, and Miss Eliza Mackubin, daughter of John C. Mackubin, of Fred. Co., were married in Annap. on Sun. evening last [Nov. 27], by Rev. Mr. Judd." Family: Thomas Franklin / Eliza Maccubbin (F2307)

5811 From the Maryland Gazette: "Marriott, Rachel F., died Sun. last, 13th inst., at the residence of James H. Marriott, a daughter and only child of Bushrod W. Marriott, aged 10 months, 19 days (July 24, 1834)."

Since he had other children, I assume this must have been his first.

5812 From the Maryland Gazette: "Murray, Alexander J., of West River, A.A. Co., and Mary, fourth daughter of Jonas Clapham, Esq., of Balto. were married 10th inst., in the latter city, by Rev. Dr. Wyatt" (May 18, 1837)." (S208, 134).


The census for 1850 gives two sons named William--I assume the older one is a son by his Alexander's first marriage. The younger, Mary Clapham's son, is Captain Murray, who was 24 when he died at Gettsyburg. 
Murray, Alexander John (I9729)
 
5813 From the north of Ireland; he did not emigrate. Notice of his name is in the Boston Transcript (see under his son James); I have not see reference to Sir Hugh elsewhere; he may be apocryphal. I include him in the tree b/c it is a helpful way to show that James and Hugh are brothers. McLellan, Hugh (I3176)
 
5814 From the Norwood Family Page at , Jan. 2004:

Will of John Norwood

In the name of God Amen.

5815 From the Sandy Spring Museum Website:
"This silhouette is the only known likeness of Thomas Moore (1760-1822), inventor, engineer, and intimate friend of President Jefferson. Married to Mary Brooke, Moore built Longwood and invented the refrigerator, in a patent signed by Jefferson and Secretary of State Madison. Jefferson named Moore to lay out the National Road from Cumberland to Ohio. He engineered the Erie Canal, the state road from Buffalo to Albany, the Aqueduct Bridge over the Potomac, and the James River & Kanawha Canal. With brothers-in-law Isaac Briggs and Caleb Bentley he laid out the mill town Triadelphia. Perhaps his greatest exploits were in agriculture. Working with Briggs and often with Jefferson, he developed new plowing and fertilizing techniques and created the National Agricultural Society--James Madison president--for national and international exchange of farming innovations."

Their marriage certificate read "Thomas Moore, Jr., of Loudoun County, Virginia, m. 21st day of 9th month, 1791, to Mary Brooke, Jr., of Montgomery County, Maryland, having announced their intentions as Indian Spring in Anne Arundel County, were married at Sandy Spring n Montgomery County." Their 4 children are recorded in Peden.

Joseph Hughes Bres, who is superintendent of the public schools of West Baton Rouge Parish, was born in the City of New Orleans. July 11, 1884, and is a great-grandson of Jean Bres, who came from Ville Franche-sur-Mer, Alpes Maritimes, near the City of Nice, France, and established his home in Caldwell Parish, Louisiana, the remainder of his life having been passed in this state. He married the widow of Pierre Landreneau, née Marie Seghers. His son, Jean Baptiste, grandfather of the subject of this review, was born in Caldwell Parish, January 9, 1820, and he became and long continued one of the substantial and honored citizens and representative planters of that parish. After his retirement from the plantation homestead in 1859 or 1860 he and his wife removed to the City of New Orleans, where his death occurred in 1907, his wife having passed away in 1904.

Joseph Ray Bres, son of Jean B, and Elizabeth (Adams) Bres, was born in Caldwell Parish, on December 21, 1854, and attended school in New Orleans after his parents' removal to that city.He was for two years a student in the Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge, and was successfully established in the abstract business in New Orleans at the time of his death, June 9, 1913. In this business he was for a number of years associated with J. G. Richardson, and after severing this alliance he continued in business in an individual way. He was a democrat of pronounced loyalty, but held no public office, except that as a young man, in 1883, he held a clerkship in the Louisiana State Land Office. Mrs. Bres, whose maiden name was Sarah Ella Hughes, was born in Mobile, Alabama, and she preceded her husband to eternal rest, her death having occurred in 1906.

Of the children of this union Joseph H., of this review, is the first born. Nell, who was graduated from Newcomb College in 1907, is the wife of Ernest L. Eustis, a civil engineer, and they maintain their home in New Orleans. Edward Sedley, who is now established in the practice of his profession, that of civil engineer, with headquarters in the City of New Orleans, served with distinction in the World war, he having been assigned to the One Hundred and Fourteenth Engineers and having been in service with this command in France from September until December, 1918. He there participated in the now historic Meuse-Argonne offensive, and after his return to his native land received his commission as major. Since then he has been commissioned as lieutenant-colonel. Colonel Bres was graduated from Tulane University, with the degree of Bachelor of Engineering. Miss Sarah was graduated from Newcomb College, New Orleans, with the degree of B. A. in Home Economics, and she is now (1924) a teacher in the Monroe City High School, this state. Harold Adams, who now resides at Houston, Texas, where he holds a position with the local branch of the Ford Motor Company, was in the naval aviation service in the World war, with the rank of ensign, and was stationed at Queenstown, Ireland. He was, for three years, a student in the civil engineering course at Tulane University, New Orleans. Allen Vincent was graduated from the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis (1923), and is now an ensign on the United States steamship "Colorado." Lawrence, the fifth child, died at the age of eleven years, in 1905.

Joseph H. Bres was afforded the advantages of private and public schools in New Orleans, and was graduated from the Boys' High School as a member of the class of 1902. Thereafter he completed a course in Tulane University, in which he was graduated in 1906, with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. For two years he was principal of a consolidated school at Brusly, West Baton Rouge Parish, and by successive reappointments he has served continuously since 1908 as superintendent of schools for this parish. Under his jurisdiction are thirteen white schools and thirteen for the instruction of colored pupils. The corps of white teachers numbers thirty-eight, and the colored teachers are seventeen in number.

Mr. Bres is aligned loyally in the ranks of the democratic party, and at Brusly he and his wife are active communicants of the Roman Catholic Church of St. John the Baptist. He is affiliated with Plaquemine Council No. 970, Knights of Columbus and he is specially prominent and influential in the affairs of the Improved Order of Red Men, his basic affiliation being with Uncas Tribe No. 64, at Brusly. He is past great sachem of the Louisiana state organization of this fraternal order, and at the time of this writing, in the spring of 1924, is great representative and great chief of records of the state supreme body of the order. He is a member of the National Education Association, the Louisiana Teachers' Association, the National Geographic Society and the Tulane Alumni Association. He has an attractive home place, with eight acres of land, at Brusly.

On the 14th of August, 1911, at Brusly, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Bres and Miss Effie Vaughan, daughter of the late Henry L. and Cecilia (Blanchard) Vaughan, the father having been the overseer of a large plantation in West Baton Rouge Parish at the time of his death. Mr. and Mrs. Bres have four children, whose names and respective dates of birth are here recorded: Margaret Sarah, September 16, 1913; Katherine Elizabeth, February 2, 1916; Marie Estelle, December 2, 1917; and Joseph Vaughan, February 22, 1920.

5828 Ganier has 19 Oct. Knight, Rose Anne (I14232)
 
5829 Ganier records the name of his father.

He may have been in Bucks Co. in the 1790 census; there is one white male who is HOH, four other white males, and two white females, which would match his family (page 112). Ganier notes that "the following appear in 1790 census records of Bucks Co., Pennsylvania: Jacob Knight, John Horner, Henry Knight, William Tomlinson, William Hamilton, Peter Hartman, Jacob Hartman - all names that occur in this area of Louisiana" (3). It's a possibility, if they migrated west and then south via the Ohio and Mississippi. Jacob, however, purchased land in Louisiana in 1790.

I cannot find him in the 1800 census. Lousiana would not have been recorded then.

Ganier gives Jacob and Solomon as children of his first wife, Sarah Winn (or Wind). Solomon married Rachel Hamilton in St. Mary Parish in 1814.. Ganier names Henry, William, Elizabeth, and Michel are children of his second wife Catherine. This concurs with Sanders as the information from his will. Joseph's name does not appear in his father's will.

5831 Genealogies for a long time have named this couple as the ancestors of President Polk along the line of the immigrant Robert ("Bruce") Pollock. This couple is also usually labeled as the parents of Charles Polk(e), Indian trader. DNA testing, however, has now show that these connections are impossible--that neither President Polk's kin, nor Charles Polk's kin, descend from here. Their immigrant ancestors remain unknown.

This is visible at the World Families Polk-Pollock project site. Each group of ancestors on the y-Results page come from a common lineage. Robert Pollock's family ("Robert Polk of Maryland, b.c. 1635") appears in one group. Charles Polke Indian Trader (often located as the child of this couple, William and Nancy Knox) is in another. William Polk b. 1700 d. c. 1757 (who m. Margaret Taylor) is in a third, separate group; he is also often placed as the child of William and Nancy Knox.

Because the male Polk descendants of William b. 1700 and immigrant Robert Pollock b. abt. 1635 do not share a common ancestor it is clear is that a relationship between the these two lines is not possible, cutting the descent to the President's line at this point.

No male Polk descended from President Polk's near line of descent has stepped forward to be tested for this project--that is, no male Polk descended his father (William, b. 1772 m. Jane Knox) or his grandfather (Ezekiel, b. 1747 m. Mary Wilson). His line back to William b. abt. 1700 who married Margaret Taylor is probably pretty secure. Beyond this, however, connections remain unknown.

5833 General in the War of 1812; served in Maryland Legislature; Member of Congress (1829-1839) representing Baltimore. His papers are kept at the Maryland Historical Society. See his entry in the American National Biography.

According to Wikipedia (May, 2005),

"Benjamin Chew Howard (November 5, 1791–March 6, 1872) was an American congressman and the fifth reporter of decisions of the United States Supreme Court, serving from 1843 to 1861.

Howard was born in Baltimore County, Maryland, the son of John Eager Howard. He received a A.B. and an A.M. from Princeton University in 1809 and 1812, respectively. His study of law was interrupted by his service in the War of 1812 in which he reached the rank of brigadier general. A Democrat, he served on the city council of Baltimore in 1820 and both houses of the Maryland legislature. He was elected to the Twenty-first and Twenty-second United States Congress, serving from March 4, 1829 to March 3, 1833. In 1835, President Andrew Jackson named Richard Rush and Howard to arbitrate the Ohio-Michigan boundary dispute.

He returned to Congress in the Twenty-fourth Congress and was relected to the Twenty-fifth, serving from March 4, 1835, to March 3, 1839. During this service, he chaired the House Foreign Relations Committee for four years.

In 1861, he was one of the emissaries sent by President James Buchanan to try to secure a peace with the Confederacy. That year he unsuccessfully ran for Governor of Maryland. He died in Baltimore and is buried there."

5859 Grandfather called her "Aunt Jig," though she was actually his 1st cousin once removed; she was 30 years older than him, however, and so took the role of an aunt.

The censuses from 1850 to 1900 show that Mary, Samuel, Olivia, Franklin, and Alice all stayed living together, all unmarried. In 1900, Samuel becomes the HOH, as the oldest male sibling. Mary dies before the 1910 census; then they are four. In 1920, three are left; and in 1930, Aunt Jig was the last one remaining; she had moved out of Essex then to be a boarder in a friend's house in Owensville.

Aunt Jig inherited Essex from her mother Rachel Waters, who was the last surviving of the four Waters sisters. She lived at Essex until the later 1920s, and transferred the property to John Lansdale Sr. in 1934. She never married.

5882 Hall has Edward Hall's marriages to Anne Wells, and Mary Wells; Newman only has Mary Stevenson. I assume that "Mary Wells" was a typo in Hall, and that Newman did not include the first marraige at all. So, this name could use confirmation.

If her name is Wells, how might she be related to the family of Richard Wells who married Frances? 
Wells, Anne (I8443)
 
5883 Hall has her father as John Wells, but this seems to be incorrect.

Her father was Thomas Well (also probably son of a Thomas Wells). This Wells family is not related to the Wells family who married into the Stocketts.

5890 Harlan (S252) contains information on two Gregg families: one descended from a William Gregg (d. 1687, Christiana Hundred, New Castle Co., Delaware); and the family into which Aaron Harlan marries here.

Her husbands ancestors (non-direct) had married into the descendants of Quaker immigrant-ancestor William Gregg (see the note under his Great-Great-grandfather, James Harlan). Elizabeth, however, is the descendant of two other immigrant-ancestor Greggs, both of whom were also, apparently, Quakers.

This couple had 9 children. 
Gregg, Elizabeth (I2097)
 
5891 Harlan (S252) records her simply as "Ann ___." Note that Kendall names her a "Wilkinson," though this seems to be incorrect. For instance, according to McIndoe, "Though I've never seen reasonable documentation to provide the name of William's wife, folks seem to be overly fond of listing Ann Wilkinson as William's wife, probably based on a note in Albert Cook Myers' Immigration of the Irish Quakers book, in which he includes a footnote that reads as follows: "One William Gregg, of Toberhead Mtg., and Ann Wilkinson, of Antrim Mtg, were married at Antrim, 11 Mo 5, 1702." The only problem with this idea is that William died fifteen years before this date, so obviously he could not have been married to this particular Ann Wilkinson." Ann (I2115)

5902 He "was a member, and later a minister, in the Religious Society of Friends. He had been fined as a Quaker 10 Nov. 1662, and with tow others, 6 June, 1674, addressed a letter to George Fox, then in England, in behalf of the West River Friends. The wets River month and weekly meetings met at his house, and late in life he and Samuel Galloway's wife were the only preachers of the society in Anne Arundel co. ‘William Penn, during his visit to Maryland in 1683, visited thehouse of William Richardson on West river; from which, in company with Lord and Lady Baltimore, all proceeded to teh yearly meeting at Tredhaven, in Talbott co. And account of this visit is given by John Richardson, of London, in his journal, published 1700. Many of their male descendants emigrated to Virginia and the Carolinas, Kentucky, and Tennessee." Shirk records his will. Richardson, William Sr. (I10729)
 
5903 He (or a wife? Sarah Balch) applied for a pension. He is included on the Civil War page.

There is this biography from Fortier:

Hacker, Judge L. O. New Iberia, Iberia parish, La., was born in Iberia Parish, La., in the year 1844, and to his earnest and unselfish efforts, perhaps more than to any other one force, is due the development of the present excellent and efficient public school system of Iberia parish. It was the wish of the publishers that an extended review of Judge Hacker 's life work he given here, but out of deference to his well-known native modesty, and by his request, this article is limited to a very brief statement as to his early connection with the public school system of his parish.

Following the close of the Civil war, during which he served the Confederacy, and the almost equally dark period of reconstruction, Judge Hacker, with Col. E. B. Olivier, Dr. Alfred Duperier, James L. Burke, J. D. Broussard, and Adolph Segura, organized a public school system for Iberia parish. Their progress was very slow, because of the opposition of those in power at the time, but when Francis Nichols became governor of Louisiana he appointed all of the above-named gentlemen, except Judge Hacker, as members of the school board for Iberia parish. The board then elected Judge Hacker as principal of the New Iberia City school, with supervisory powers over all the schools of the parish. From this time the progress of educational work in the parish was rapid. In July, 1882, Judge Hacker was admitted to the bar, and resigned his official connection with the schools, but his interest in them has continued unabated.

At the present time he frequently visits them, and can always he relied upon to give his fullest and most hearty cooperation in any meritorious movement directed toward the betterment of the schools. Judge Hacker has been long identified with every good work that has gone forward in New Iberia and in Iberia parish, and his name cannot he disassociated with the substantial upbuilding and material development of that section of Louisiana, but it is doubtful if the people, even of the locality in which he has passed the richly fruitful years of his useful life, fully appreciate the debt of gratitude they owe to him for his unselfish devotion to the broadening, upbuilding, purifying, and modernizing the educational interests of the community and of that portion of the State of Louisiana--indeed, of the State of Louisiana, and even beyond.

We have said "the educational interests,'' but what does this mean other than all that can be implied in good citizenship--useful manhood and useful womanhood--the moral upbuilding of a section, involving, also, its spiritual development and expansion. Surely, a work in all respects worthy of the best among men.

Hacker, Judge Louis Octave (I9602)
 
5904 He (or possibly his son) was the first to actually bear the "Esthland" Arms; his branch is traced from his great-grandfather Gotthard-Wilhelm von Rosenberg.

Why the new arms? It has to do with this branch's abandonment of estates they held; they are in fact a matter of some disgrace. This is from Vol. 1 of The von Rosenberg Family of Texas (8):

"The lineage was indigenous to Kurland but not to Esthland. The barons living in Kurland at Garossen Estate from 1500 AD on bought more and more property in Esthland; after about 1741 other estates appear on the charts (from the Froelich book) especially near Ragnit and Memel, such as "Wintzheim," "Holwigshof," "Laugsch," and the more familiar "Raddeilen" and "Eckitten." Friederich Wilhelm von Rosenberg was the first owner of the Raddeilen near Memel, but he also acquired other estates. The first owner of Eckitten was Wilhelm's son Sigismund Gustav, who acquired it in 1749.

"In 1786, for some cause related to the Krottingen War, the family emigrated from the Garossen Estate in Esthland. This ‘departure by seal' caused them to be known ‘in disgrace' for leaving an old home in a native land. For fighting in the Krottingen War and other reasons the family, or at least Otto (b. 1772), was granted more charges to be used on the coat of arms; but it had to include the ‘lion rampant regardant'--looking backward--because the family had affronted the old arms by leaving it. By permission of the College of Arms the name was changed from Kurland to Esthland, a new grant was given, but the old one retained in case any descendant desired to use it. Otto inherited Eckitten in 1793 and chose to live there instead of at Garossen because the lands were better and the surroundings and educational opportunities better for children.

"Peter Carl [the immigrant], the grandson of Sigismund Gustav, also chose to live at Eckitten, although Garossen was not sold and was occupied by Peter Carl's brother Gustav and his wife Ida. Gustave and Ida reared, at Garossen, two orphaned sisters of Eleanore von Rosenberg-Froelich, the sisters of LIbussa Froelich who was broght to America when she as 10 years old." 
von Rosenberg, Sigismund Gustav (I3184)
 
5905 He accidentally burned to death. Turney (I7077)
 
5906 he accidentally shot himself. Savage, Hon. Frederick E. (I12489)
 
5907 He acquired the estate at "Garossen" in Kurland in 1558.

In 1620 at the Ritterbank he stated that his family was from Moravia (Mähren). The first mention of von Rosenbergs in Courland [apparently] dates from 1511, but no direct connection to Moravia has been found. There is a family of von Rosenbergs ("Rožmberk") in Bohemia. Perhaps Johann, Otto's father, was a lesser son of a branch of that family who migrated to fight in the Swedish wars against Poland. Otto von Rosenberg from Bauske is recorded as furnishing one horseman and no footsoldiers in 1620. 
von Rosenberg, Otto Blomberg (I3270)
 
5908 He actually served in the UNION Army in the Civil War.

A Samuel R. Waters is listed in the 79th and the 99th Indiana Infantry. 
Waters, Samuel Richard (I8717)
 
5909 He and his brother Isaac moved west together to Pennsylvania. Isaac Cushman appeared in court in 1833 to attest to his war record for a pension claim; Thomas of course had died long before.

"According to family tradition he was, while camping out with his father-in-law, accidentally shot and killed by the latter who, in the darkness, mistook him for an Indian."

Two of his children, David and Sarah, married Morrises. The third married a Hieatt. All of these presumably happened in Kentucky. 
Cushman, Thomas (I13485)
 
5910 He and his brother Johann married two (Martin) sisters.

He immigrated to Texas August 28, 1848, as a widower with 8 children, on the ship Louis which had sailed from Antwerp. His wife had died in 1844. He bought a farm which had been part of Nassau, next to the von Rosenberg farm.

He is recorded in the 1880 census as living in the house of his daughter-in-law Wilhelmine Giesecke in New Braunfels, Comal Co., Texas. 
Groos, Karl Wilhelm Apollo (I3485)
 
5911 He and his brother Karl married two (Martin) sisters. These women were also their cousins.

He was in the tobacco business with his cousin, August Martin.

5912 He and his brother patented about 260 acres of land, in 6 patents, in Lucas Co. Ohio in 1844; I don't know whether they were living there, or whether it was for family or an investment. Richard had patented land in Indiana in 1837.

He moved to Oregon, along with his brother Richard Hyatt. His brother was a Dr. and an Indian agent in Oregon, but Alpheus' name does not appear in historical records that I've seen, so he must have done much different work.

His name appears in the Richard Lansdale bible, but I cannot make out the date.

According to Interment.net, to find his grave "From Highway 12 turn North onto Taggart Road going 8/10 miles to the intersection of Taggart Road and Millrace Road. Turn left, West, going 1/10 mile to the intersection of Millrace Road and Whoopemup Hollow Road. The grave is visible on a knoll West of the intersection." 
Lansdale, Alpheus Hyatt (I3858)
 
5913 He and his brother Preston were stage coach drivers. Tyler, Thomas F. (I16966)
 
5914 He and his brother seem to have married two sisters. Norman, William (I13781)
 
5915 He and his brother seem to have married two sisters. Dates according to his gravestone. Norman, Theophilus (I13796)
 
5916 He and his brother were horse breeders and racers in Paris, KY. Dozens of newspaper items referring to the family appearin Paris newspapers, in the social pages and about horse racing.

Their marriage is recorded in Marriage Book 10, Page 210, for Mason County (he is Amos "Tuney", from Bourbon County); the bondsman is John Mannen; he is a farmer, age 25, and she is 22 and from Mason County; they are "To be married at the residence of John Mannen, Mason Co., Ky on 10th day of October 1871." See "MARRIAGES: Marriage County, KY - Marriage Abstracts 10, 1868-1873" at the Mason Co., Kentucky USGenWeb.

Also living in his household in 1880 is "Ella Colville, neice," aged 24.

He and his wife were distantly related through the Morris family. 
Turney, Amos McIntire "Dick" Jr. (I4108)
 
5917 He and his brother William ran the Ocean Tugboat Co. in New Orleans. Had no children.

In his nephew Alden's civil war narrative, Alden mentions that when he was marched through the city as a prisoner, "As we passed down Royal between Marigny and Mandeville streets I saw my aunt, Mrs. George McLellan, and others of her family standing in front of their residence." In the 1880 census this family is given as living at 427 Royal St. 
McLellan, George Merrill (I3381)
 
5918 He and his family were not, according to Newman, related to the Puritan leader in England. His parents were Quaker, but he married a woman from an Episcopalian family.

According to Welsh, "D.A.R. Lineage books vols. 18 and 40 give: ‘Oliver Cromwell, b. 8. 15. 1708, d. 6.24.1786, mem. Com. of Obs., Baltimore, 1775; recruited troops and joined the Flying Camp and was in the battles of White Plains and Trenton; m. Anna Maria GIles."

Newman says that "he assisted in recruiting for the Revolutionary Army" (citing DAR Lineage book, vol. 40.264).

This couple had 8 children. 
Cromwell, Oliver (I11468)
 
5919 He and his first wife Sarah (Elizabeth?) had 5 children. With his second wife Sarah Davis he had one child. Griffith, Col. Henry (I2984)
 
5920 He and his older brother John both migrated to Berkeley Co., South Carolina. This is the county which stretches north from Charleston; the Wando River ends in Charleston. According to Herbert Russ, he's believed to have moved there about 1695.

There is a Parish Register for St. Thomas Parish that needs to be checked for this family. 
Russ, Jonathan (I4630)
 
5921 He and his sister Hannah married siblings. Gregg, Samuel (I2225)
 
5922 He and his twin brother Thomas Tolley moved to Kentucky, in his case Mercer Co.; his brother moved to Mason Co.

"James T. Worthington" appears in Lincoln Co. on the 1800 KY census as a taxpayer.

5923 He and his two wives are recorded in McMurry, “One Branch of our Williams Family.” Dates have been added from tombstones at Maple Grove cemetery. Williams, Rev. William (I16234)
 
5924 He and his wife and four children arrived in Maryland in 1651. He was apparently granted 500 acres in Anne Arundel Co. which he called "Becket."

Names from his ancestry are from Hall, who provides no documentation. Hall says that his information comes from Lawrence Buckey Thomas, Genealogical Notes on the Thomas Family (S201).

According to Robert Barnes, “Thomas, Philip, d.1675, Anne Arundel Co., MD, possibly descendant of Sir Thomas Howard, Earl of Surrey, and Agnes Tilney, his wife, and if line can be proved, a descendant of Henry III and of Charlemagne.”

According to Nesbitt, "Philip Thomas (called ‘The emigrant' inThe Thomas Book), grandfather of the Sandy Spring settlers of that name and progenitor of a continuing line of Thomas and Thomas-related members of the Sandy Spring Meeting, arrived in Maryland from Bristol, England in 1651. ‘In consideration that he hath transported himself, Sarah [Harrison] his wife, Philip, Sarah, and Elizabeth his children into this our province . . . ,' a land patent in his name conveyed to him 500 acres of land called Beakley or Beckly on the west side of the Chesapeake Bay. He acquired numerous other patents through the years, but a tract of 120 acres at the mouth of the South River, called Fuller's Point (later renamed Thomas Point, off which is the Thomas Point Lighthouse), eventually became the site of the family home.
An Anabaptist at the time of his arrival in Maryland, Philip Thomas had early allied himself with the Puritans who, in 1652, rebelled against Lord Baltimore's government. He was one among them when in 1655 they defeated the proprietary forces in the bloody battle of the Severn. Three years later, March 24, 1658, having been appointed a High Commissioner of the Puritan Court under the Lord Protectorate, Oliver Cromwell, he was one of the six members of that body who made the surrender of the revolutionary governament, ‘At a council held at St. Leonards. . . .," following the Cromwellian order that the province be returned to the proprietary.
Meanwhile, through [Quaker missionary] Elizabeth Harris's influence, Philip Thomas has become a Quaker, ‘a founder of, and a prominent figure in, the Herring Creek and the West River meetings.' Little is known of his activities in that field but two clauses in his will, probated June 10, 1675, confirm his accord with Friends."

He is included on the Quaker Ancestors page.

Donawin, Jacob (I11174)
 
5942 He and his wife were cousins, their mothers being sisters.

According to Marine, "Lansdale, William M." was a "Private in Capt. Moale's Columbian Artillery."

He is mentioned in his uncle John Lansdale's will (d. 1786). From his father, aside from land, he received twenty thousand dollars "and my gold watch, which I request him to wear and keep as a memorial of his father." 
Lansdale, William Moylan (I4036)
 
5943 He and his wife were cousins.

Data needs confirmation.

On the Edmonston family see, perhaps, one of these articles:
