| 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.

| 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)

|
| 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. | Worthington, James Tolley (I10668)
|
| 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. | Thomas, Philip Sr. (I4572)

|
| 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)

|
| 5957 | He and his wife were married "at the house of Katherine Henderson in Dunclady, County Antrim." He was received 6 mo. 8, 1724, from Ballynacree Meeting, County Antrim, Ireland. Myers cites Passmore as the source for this family; he notes, correctly, that Passmore got his wife's surname name wrong. Klein, Frederick. The History of Lancaster County (1926): The first meeting house was erected by Sadsbury Quakers in 1725, and though the Presbyterians raised their Upper Octorara Church a few years earlier, it was not until about 1727 that the Middle Octorara Presbyterian Church was erected. The other denominations did not build churches for several decades thereafter. In 1724 Andrew Moore and Samuel Miller petitioned for the establishment of a Particular Meeting in Sadsbury township, and for the erection of a meetinghouse. This was accomplished in 1725, a log house being then raised. In 1737 the Sadsbury Monthly Meeting was established, and draw Quakers from Leacock, Lampeter, and Salisbury. Leacock cooperated with Sadsbury to secure this Monthly Meeting status, and all gathered at Sadsbury until 1749, when a larger meetinghouse was built at Bird-in-Hand, East Lampeter township. Then Leacock Monthly Meeting was established, and was continued at that point until 1854, by which time so many Quakers of the Lampeters and Leacocks had moved "toward the great West," that it was decided to take the Monthly Meeting to Sadsbury. Sadsbury Meeting: The Sadsbury meetinghouse of the Hicksite branch, was erected of stone in 1748, it is believed. Its solid stone walls rise to a height of two stories, and when first built supported high galleries. These galleries, and in fact almost all of the interior woodwork, were burned during the Revolutionary War; and when the repairing was taken in hand by Joseph Guest, who had charge of the original carpentry, it was decided to lay a floor on the second story, in place of galleries. This arrangement has continued to the present. It is not used now, excepting occasionally for funeral services. The building was at one time used by the Amish Mennonites. Among the Quakers who were early members of this church were Andrew and James Moore, Nail Mooney, James Clemson, James Clemson, Jr., Anthony Shaw, Jane Jones, Sarah Metcalf, Isaac Taylor, Samuel Miller, John Aaron, and Thomas Musgrave, Robert Moore, Calvin Cooper, John Truman, and Asahel Walker. The original site of the meetinghouse was part of what is known as the "Servant's Tract," or the "Christiana Tract." A later addition, bringing the church property to seventy acres, was purchased from Thomas Richard and John Penn. When the division into Hicksite and Orthodox Friends occurred, the former society retained possession of the church property. According to Cope and Fulthey, "Samuel Smith says that in 1724 Samuel Miller and Andrew Moore made application, on behalf of themselves and their friends settled about Sadsbury, for liberty to build a meeting-house, which being granted by the Quarterly Meeting, they built one in 1725, which goes by the name of Sadsbury. In 1722 a committee appointed by Chester Quarterly Meeting visited Friends of Conestoga and Octorara, and reported that they inclined to meet together. In 1723 it was reported that at Octorara were some "of a contentious spirit, and not worthy to be esteemed of our society." In the latter part of 1723 "meetings" are mentioned at both places, but they were probably of an informal character. 9th month 9, 1724, things at Octorara are reported hopeful, and in the 12th month they desire a committee to help fix on a site for a meeting-house. The committee failed to settle the question, but on 9th month 8, 1725, ‘This meeting being informed that those friends of Sadsbury have agreed amongst themselves of a place to Build a meeting-house on, which this meeting approves of.' . . . This was formed by the division of New Garden Monthly Meeting, and comprised the two Preparative Meetings of Sadsbury and Leacock. The first meeting was held 12, 6, 1737–8." His will is copied into Passmore (11 ff); it is also available from Chester Co: Document # 1492, Moore, Andrew, d. 1753 in Sadsbury; will available as well as inventory and accounts. He is included on the Quaker Ancestors page. | Moore, Andrew (I4410)
|
| 5958 | He and his wife were passengers on the "Lamb," one of the ships which brought Quakers to Penn's new colony in 1682. The ship left Liverpool on July 17, 1682 and arrived at the Delaware River on October 22. James and his wife and their son Stephen were passengers.

|
| 5961 | He and his younger brother Jonathan both migrated to Berkeley, South Carolina. He was living on a plantation owned by his brother Jonathan on 13 Aug. 1705. | Russ, John III (I4653)
|
| 5962 | He and three of his brothers (Col. Lewis Stockett, Henry, and Francis) were Royalists who had lived in exile in France during Cromwell's reign. They immigrated to America because they were unable to regain their lands in Kent when they returned after the inter-regnum. See Newman for the particulars here; his wife later married George Yate. "Holding a membership in the Church of England, he served in the Lower House and was a justice in Baltimore 1661-1664 where he owned a 400 acre tract. "Obligation," a 663 acre tract north of Anne Arundel Manor was surveyed for him 19 Jul. 1669. He was the Deputy Surveyor General 1670-1671 and was a Captain by 1671. He wrote his Will 23 April 1671" (Honeyman and Winkelman 38). | Stockett, Capt. Thomas (I5412)
|
| 5963 | He and “Pearl” are living at the same address. | Tomlinson, William Earhart (I3883)
|
| 5964 | He apparently attended the Naval Academy. | von Rosenberg, Frederick Charles (I340)
|
| 5965 | He apparently died at Valley Forge, though I have yet to see firm documentation about this. He would have pre-deceased his father, and if he had no children he would not have been named in his father's will (as the other two of his apparent siblings who died early were). According to Phillips researcher Nancy Kiser, "knows for certain that the John Phillips who died in 1777 as a result of his Revolutionary War service was the son of John and Sarah Phillips; however, it appears from Amherst Co. records that this John had an older brother named William who inherited John's estate due to an old, arcane English law that says the estate of a man who dies unmarried with no children will be inherited by the deceased man's oldest brother if the deceased man did not leave a will [i.e., primogeniture]." According to the Valley Forge muster rolls, there were three John Phillips present. One, a corporal in the 2nd VA brigade under William Taylor, is "fit for duty" at all musters through June of 1778, so this can't be the same person. Two others are privates, and either, it seems, could be this John: VA25772: Phillips, John; VA; PRIVATE; 12 VA. He is first present on the rolls in Apr. 1778, and sick in the hospital in May of 1778. Not present in June of 1778. He is listed in the 4th VA brigade, Capt. Benjamin Casey's Co., in the 12th VA regiment, 3rd Division. VA09985: Phillips, John; VA; PRIVATE; 1 VA. He is listed in Dec. 1777 as "Sick, absent," and is present on no other musters. Additional remarks are that "DEC. 1777 SICK AT PRINCETON. JAN. 1778 SICK AT HOSPITAL. ROLL FOR FEB. 1778 SHOWS THAT HE ENLISTED AUGUST 1, 1777, AND BEARS THE MARK DISCHARGED. DATE NOT KNOWN." He is a private in the 1st VA Brigade, under Capt. Callohill Mennis' (?Callehill Memmis), in the 1st VA Regiment, 5th Division. | Phillips, John (I12530)
|
| 5966 | He apparently died without heirs. | Gregg, Richard (I2125)
|
| 5967 | He apparently had a wife, born 1543 and died 1590, but no name for her is recorded. | Stanfield, John (I4716)
|
| 5968 | He apparently had two children, according to J. Harris Franklin's notes. | Beall, William Allein (I6552)
|
| 5969 | He apparently had two families: he was married to Emma Gamard, but had a second family in New Orleans with Josephine Carleton, born in Mississippi. He and Josephine had children before he was married to Emma. Josephine and Louis would not have been allowed to marry at the time because, according to the 1880 census, she was “Mulatto.” | Guillemet, Louis Adrien Sr. (I3698)
|
| 5970 | At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. | Living (I3173)
|
| 5971 | He apparently lived and died at a plantation called "New Castle" in Prince George's Co. He inherited "Easy Purchase" from Thomas Lancaster. I have notes that he had 9 children, but I am not sure about all of their names, or their order. Pountney names Margaret and two daughers; I have also seen Martha, Charles, and Henry. | Lansdale, Thomas Lancaster (I3925)
|
| 5972 | He apparently lived and died in England. | Puddington, Benjamin (I5846)
|
| 5973 | He apparently lived and died in England. | Puddington, John (I9212)
|
| 5974 | He apparently married someone surnamed "Morrell" in New Jersey, and had four children. There is a high probability that his wife was descended from Thomas (abt. 1662-abt. 1686) and Martha Morrell of Hopewell, NJ, where the Johnsons lived, but is not definite. Mentioned in his grandfather Rut Johnson's will; the executor of his father's will. | Johnson, Rutger Sr. (I9405)
|
| 5975 | He apparently owned a mill, Dye's Union Mill, at Pope's Head Run, Fairfax City, VA. He and Nancy were ‘old school Baptist.'" | Dye, John Hixson Sr. (I9298)
|
| 5976 | He apparently remained a Quaker, judging by his marriage record. According to Barnes, he "in 1750 owned 75 a. Upton Court (owned by John's widow); will of Jon Giles, 29 March 1736 - 28 April 1736, left Upton Court to w. Cassandra, and named daus. Sarah and Elizabeth; will of Gassandrea Giles, wid. of John, 2, 12m., 1754 - 18 Feb. 1755, named dau. Sarah w. of Samuel Hopkins, dau. Elizabeth w. ofJoseph Bankson, and grandch. James Slemaker and Gerard Hopkins." | Giles, John III (I428)
|
| 5977 | He apparently was living in Montgomery Co. in the 1780s, but moved to Prince George's Co. by 1800. He is buried on the Claggett Farm in Mitchellsville, Prince George's Co. His will was dated Nov. 13th, 1802, and admitted to probate on Jan 27th, 1805. He mentions his 5 children in it. The Prince George's County Genealogical Society Journal has a copy of this in one of its early volumes. A miniature portrait of him was painted by Charles Wilson Peale in 1781; in 1952 it was owned by Mrs. Harold Berry of Portland, Maine. 1781 is the same year he was made a Major. Peale apparently mentions in his diary that he met Major Lansdale at Valley Forge. For an abstract of his will, see the Prince George's Co. Genealogical Soc. Bulletin, somewhere in vols. 1-4. When he died he had real estate "in and about the Town of Queen Anne" that he left to his wife. The will says it was "dated November 13th, 1802, admitted to probate Jan. 27th, 1803." He also mentions the year "eighteen hundred and four" in the will. Is the typical death date for him in 1805 wrong, or did he live longer than expected? A gravesite was dedicated to him on Dec. 8, 2007, across Rt. 197 from the new town center in Bowie, Md, by members of the Masonic Collington Lodge. Here is part of the dedication (from this page: http://www.collingtonmasoniclodge.org/ ): “Friends and brethren, we who are Masons have assembled on this occasion to honor a man who proved himself to be a true American hero. Bro. Thomas Lancaster Lansdale entered Free Masonry on December 20, 1771 at the Lodge of Sincerity in the village of Rotherhithe, now a suburb of London. And as we now know, a few years later, he joined with his fellow Marylanders to fight the British during the Revolutionary War. [. . .]” | Lansdale, Maj. Thomas Lancaster (I4017)
|
| 5978 | He appears in Bracken County on 22 Nov. 1799 on the Kentucky Census as a taxpayer. His will appears in Bracken County, naming wife Deborah and children William, John, Samuel, Armstrong, Mary Bennett, Jane Boston’s heirs, and Executor John. Dated 14 April. 1844. | Hamilton, John P. Jr. (I4211)
|
| 5979 | He appears in Dr. Franklin Waters ledger in a note. This couple had 8 children. | Waters, Nathan(Iel) (I5740)
|
| 5980 | He appears in Dr. Franklin Waters' Ledger B, fols. 1, 62. Scratched out, on the blank page opposite folio 1 of Ledger B: "On the Second day of July 1826 I commenced attending Mr. John A. Waters famly, consisting twenty two in number for one year, for the sum of thirty dollars." April 18, 1824 is his first entry on fol. 1 for a visit to John A. Waters' family/account. | Waters, John Arnold (I3799)
|
| 5981 | He appears in Dr. Samuel Waters' medical ledger for 1804 (fol. 45). | Waters, Thomas Jones (I5281)
|
| 5982 | He appears in Nesbitt's collection of essays about Sandy Spring as "Ironmaster" of Anne Arundel County. According to the Preface, "The ‘Meeting house land,' so called, was a 392 acret parcel which Richard Snowden, Ironmaster of Anne Arundel County, in 1751, had carved out of his 9265-acre holding, Snowden's Manor Enlarged, as a gift to James Brooke, his son-in-law and Sandy Spring's first permanent settler." | Snowden, Richard "The Youngest" III (I5522)
|
| 5983 | He appears in Rowley birth records as "Isaac, s. Nathan, bp. Nov. 30, 1735." | Davis, Isaac (I15781)
|
| 5984 | He appears in Samuel Waters notebooks (beg. 1803), fol. 93, for medical treatment. The records cover 1805-07. In this book there is also a John Marriott (fol. 97) and a Joshua Marriott (fol. 113) for the same years. How is he related to the rest of the Marriott family from Anne Arundel Co.? | Marriott, William (I5331)
|
| 5985 | He appears in the 1880 Census in the household of his father. I found the picture at Essex, and it has been identified by Dick Pollock. The four on the bottom left (not including the woman in the front row) are Isaac Currens Savage on the left; Mary Roberts Savage to his left; and their sons Frank and Julian between them. At Essex it was just labeled "Germantown 1910." Sally must have taken it on a trip there; it is of her brother and his family. The older woman in the back row (on the right) is their mother, Margaret Currens Savage Pollock. | Pollock, Isaac Currens (I4597)
|
| 5986 | He appears in the 1880 census, in his mother's household as her son, as "William Franklin." | Franklin, William (I13458)
|
| 5987 | He appears in the census at Pownalborough, Lincoln Co., in 1790, 1800, and 1810. He apparently outfitted a ship, the "Sally," to rescue Marie Antoinette from the guilllotine. See the article by Rufus Sewall describing this attached to the New England Histories page. He apparently didn't quite make it, though he was there to see her execution. The article gives a death date for Capt. Clough of 1878, which seems far beyond a possible age to live. Also there is this note from http://www.lincolncountymaine.me/, the Lincoln Co., ME website: "Edgecomb, incorporated in 1774, lies between the Sheepscot and Damariscotta Rivers, up hill and down dale, with pine, spruce, and hemlock all the way. Visit Fort Edgecomb, now a State Park, built in 1809 on the Sheepscot to protect Wiscasset and its shipping from possible British attack. A block house with parade ground and the remains of fortifications, stands on a granite ledge looking out on a beautiful view of the Narrows, Westport Island, and in the distance on the Edgecomb shore, a glimpse of the ‘Marie Antoinette house.' Tradition says that Captain Stephen Clough of the ship "Sally" was in France in 1793, having taken a load of lumber to Havre, went on to Paris and there was involved in a plot to rescue the Queen and take her back to America to the home of his father-in-law, Joseph Decker, on Jeremy Squam Island, now Westport Island. The plot failed but the house has been linked ever since with the Queen's name. It was moved to the Edgecomb shore one winter when the ice was very thick." There is this Bible record at the NEGHS, apparently a Bible record for this family: http://beta.worldcat.org/archivegrid/record.php?id=228112220&contributor=6775 | Clough, Capt. Stephen (I3364)
|
| 5988 | He appears in WWI draft records for New Orleans. This gives his address as 2218 Peniston; he's a law clerk, and single. He made a petition with this result; this is an excerpt from the Times-Picayune for Tuesday, September 4, 1917: Arthur Pitard Portas, 2218 Peniston street, petition to obtain passport to settle legal business in Mexico; leave of absence granted for six months. A note a picture appears in the Times-Picayune on 17 June 1917 that he has been "made speciality of civil law." He traveled a great deal, his name appearing on passport applications and passenger lists all through the 1920s and 1930s, especially to the Caribbean and South America. In 1942 he registered for the WW2 draft. He was working for the law dept. of Gulf Oil in Pittsburgh, but gives his mailing address as Box 709, Caracas, Venezuela. Someone who will always know his address is Mrs. A. Luria, on 304 Elmeer Rd. in New Orleans. | Portas, Arthur Pitard (I3138)
|
| 5989 | He appears on the 1776 census for St. John's and St. George's Parishes in Prince George's Co. Here is the full entry; he was not yet married to Lucy: Christopher Hyat 15: male slave 15. He is living next to his brother William and his father William. A "Christopher Hyatt" appears in Dr. Samuel Waters medical ledger for 1806-07 (fol. 127). A "Miss Elizabeth Hyatt" does as well in the same ledger for 1805 (fol. 29). | Hyatt, Christopher (I3950)
|
| 5990 | He appears on the 1850 census as "Awood," but the name must be Atwood after his mother's brother. | McLellan, Atwood (I15903)
|
| 5991 | He appears on the 1860 census, but not after that; I assume he died before 1870. | Lansdale, Richard (I10522)
|
| 5992 | He appears on the 1860 slave schedule for Annapolis as the owner of 1 female slave, aged 31. | Iglehart, Harwood (I708)
|
| 5993 | He appears on the 1870 census, but I can find no birth record for him. The 1900 census is odd, saying that both his parents are born in Missouri? It also says that a son Norbert Jr. is living with them, aged 3, born Feb. 1897. This conflicts with the NOLA birth indices, which say that Joseph Edward was born in January. Joseph Edward must be the 1 child that his mother lists as living, however, because he published a memorial to his father in 1926. The census was taken June 15 & 16, and her next child, Anthony J., was born in December 1900. The NOLA death index also lists "Norbert Wiltz Jr." as dying at 10 mos. on 5 June 1894. I assume that that name on the 1900 census, then, is incorrect, and that it must refer to Joseph, one month off. This note appears in the New Orleans Item, 11 Aug. 1915, p2: Elizabeth Harrison filed suit against Norbert J. Wiltz for separation from bed and board in the civil district court Tuesday afternoon, asking for custody of their three children, all under 18. She alleged cruel treatment, attempts to strike her and abandonment. | Wiltz, Norbert Joseph (I14197)
|
| 5994 | He appears on the 1870 census. | Lansdale, George H. (I11956)
|
| 5995 | he appears on the 1870 census. | Marzoni, Pio (I15670)
|
| 5996 | He appears on the 1930 census with the family, but not on the migration records in 1923 and 1924. Could he have entered at a different time? | Mayorga, William (I14268)
|
| 5997 | He appears on the 1940 census in Tuskegee, Alabama. married to Frances and with a son, Harry. | Winters, Dr. Harry Hall (I15535)
|
| 5998 | He appears to be the immigrant ancestor of the Williams family in Maryland. He may have had another son Thomas. | Williams, Thomas (I10080)
|
| 5999 | He applied in 1907 for a homestead. He had been living on and breaking the land since 1904. | Comfort, Alanson (I15492)
|
| 6000 | He arrived at Jamestown on October 1, 1629, but returned to England b/c Catholics were not welcome in the Anglican colony. The king granted Maryland to him instead; he was first granted the proprietershop of the colony of Maryland in 1632. | Calvert, Sir George 1st Lord Baltimore (I740)
|
| 6001 | He arrived in Canada as a very young man, about age 15, give or take. His origins in Poland are unknown. He eventually changed his name to “Galt.” | Galdzinski, John (I15373)
|
| 6002 | He arrived in New Orleans in 1809 after the evacuation of Cuba, "former dealer in the office of the paymaster of the Cape; liquor dealers; not proprietor." There are probate documents in 1816 following his death in New Orleans; they mention his wife Catherine LaCoste as tutor to their children at his death. | Mahé-Desportes, Jean Baptiste (I13634)
|
| 6003 | He arrived in Texas in June, 1878; before that he had been a Prussian officer. His family had apparently been of some note in Prussia. In Texas he became a Marshal and a lawyer. In WWI, his only brother was apparently the "Commading General of the Saxon Army Corps of the German Empire," (S 35), which obviously caused a great deal of regret and worry. [This is perhaps Adolph von Carlowitz, known as a "Saxon officer," who was later a War Minister for Germany?] | von Carlowitz, Georg Christoph (I483)
|
| 6004 | He arrived in Virginia, to the James River, in the 1620s, and so is one of the earliest immigrant ancestors of the families of the "Anne Arundel gentry." | Gater, John (I8956)
|
| 6005 | He arrived with his brother Robert to the Plymouth colony in about 1628-30. According to Barker, he and his brother "set out from Plymouth colony to make homes for themselves, going by boat along the coast until they came to the North River (near Cape Cod) sailing down this, they reached what is now part of Pembroke, Mass. known as Herringbrook. Here they camped for the winter and the following spring ground was broken and the house built. John lived in that part of Plymouth which was set off in 1637 as Duxbury. He was a brickmason and agreed to teach Wm. Barden the trade of a bricklayer, as the end of his time giving him (Wm) ‘20 bushels of corn, 2 suits of apparel and an ewe goat's lamb.' In 1628 he moved to Marshfield, Mass. and bought a ferry at the Jones River, where he covenanted to keep it ‘at two pence a person until a bridge is built.' In 1643 he was a member of the Marshfield Military Co. under Lt. Nathaniel Thomas; in 1648, he had some disagreement with a neighbor about a buildary line. The court requested John Alden and Miles Standish to ‘set at rights such differences as are betwixt them'" (231). According to Deane, "He was drowned, 1652. [He had purchased the ferry (now [1850] Little's Bridge] of John Brewster, son of Elder Brewster, 1641, and was there drowned]." | Barker, John Sr. (I10392)
|
| 6006 | At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. | Private (I26)
|
| 6007 | He attended St. Emma's Industrial and Agricultural College in Virginia, and was there in about 1915; for more see here: http://www.aahistoricsitesva.org/items/show/39 He was the only one of his three siblings who stayed in Louisiana; the other three moved to Chicago. His brother Henry seems to have been buried in St. Roch as well. | Degrange, George Leon Sr. (I747)
|
| 6008 | He attended St. John's College, Annapolis, and then Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA. This is his Dickinson College Alumni record, where he was the class of 1858: Marriott, Henry - Born July 12, 1838, at West River, Anne Arundel County, Md; A.B. 1858; studied medicine at the University of Pennsylvania; 1861-65, in Confederate States army; 1866, druggist in Baltimore, Md; 1868, removed to California and practiced medicine in San Francisco; surgeon, Pacific Mail Steamship Line; B.L. Society (Belles Lettres Society). Died October 7, 1879, in San Francisco, California. Family tradition has it that he lived at Essex Farm in Maryland, with the family of his uncle Dr. Franklin Waters Sr., for at time after the War. In any event many items of his remained there, including a sewing kit, a set of chess pieces he carved, a small book of his lecture notes from a series of lectures on medicine or science, and about 20 or 30 books, especially of Greek and Latin classics, with ex librii in them. | Marriott, Dr. Henry (I3615)
|
| 6009 | He attended Tulane. He is mentioned in correspondence about two Cooper portraits left in the estate of Helen DeGrange McLellan (Weenie). He may have gotten them after her death, in 1963, or they may have been sold at auction; the documentation is not clear. I would love to know where they are now. | Cooper, Asahel Walker III (I6350)
|
| 6010 | He bought the "Tauerhollen" and "Holwigshof" Estates; he inherited "Wintzhiem"; and he bought "Eckitten" outside of Memel, which was kept until the 1849 emigration. | von Rosenberg, Friedrich Wilhelm (I3186)
|
| 6011 | He brought a certificate from Paslow Monthly Meeting in Cumberland to Maryland. He was a member of the South River Club in 1742. | Cowman, Capt. Joseph (I10195)
|
| 6012 | He brought his family to America in 1687. His will and story are recorded in Harlan. He had 9 children. I record just one line her, via Aaron, because it converged with the Gregg family several generations later. | Harlan, George (I2151)
|
| 6013 | He built "Cedar Park" in West River. | Galloway, Richard Jr. (I8018)
|
| 6014 | He built a large brick house across High street from his brother Hugh's house, which still stands there. | McLellan, Stephen (I115)
|
| 6015 | He came from London as an indentured servant in 1675. According to Newman, "Although records show that William Griffith was in Maryland by 1675, he was probably a minor for he remained unmarried until about 1687 and did not receive his first warrant for land until 1694." | Griffith, William (I8419)
|
| 6016 | He came into the colonies abt 1678 with several others into Calvert Co., Maryland. He may have been born in Wales, and may have died in Prince George's Co., Maryland, intestate. | Williams, Baruch Sr. (I10070)
|
| 6017 | He came to Calvert Co., Maryland; he was there by 1689. | Hilleary, Thomas (I10072)
|
| 6018 | He came to Texas when he was very young, in 1821. He joined the Army, and died in Mexico. According to family history, “The younger brother of the pioneer father, Peter Carl Johann von Rosenberg, named Ernst Christoph Ludwig von Rosenberg, was born at Eckitten Estate in 1800. His parents were divorced when he was three years old. He spent his youth in the service of the Russian army and later was a Prussian artillery lieutenant, but he relinquished his commission and came to America in 1821. “He landed on the Texas coast about October, 1821. The party was known as Long’s Expedition. They took possession of La Bahia (Goliad) and then were taken prisoners by Mexican troops. They were released upon promising that they would settle peacefully in the country. “Ernst Christoph joined the Mexican Army and became a lieutenant colonel, but espoused the cause of Iturbide. He may have been shot upon the downfall of Iturbide, because he was never heard from again.” | von Rosenberg, Ernst Ludwig Christoph (I5449)
|
| 6019 | He came to Virginia before 1643 and later went to Maryland, where in 1661 he bought to estates in St. Mary's Co. See, I assume: Prall, Richard D., "Eleanor Nuthall of Prince George's County, MD," MGSB 39.4 (Fall 1998) 535-541. | Nuthall, John (I10067)
|
| 6020 | He captained the famous brig "Boxer" in 1815. He had 9 children, one of whom was Jacob, Mayor of Portland during the Civil War, who also wrote a brief manuscript on Bryce McLellan in 1870; another was George W. McLellan, who wrote a key 1870 letter to his brother Jacob discussing family history. I have not seen either of these: if anyone has, or knows where to get them, please get in touch and let me know! His portrait is owned by the Maine Historical Society: Attribution: John Brewster, Jr., 1766 - 1854 Date of Work: c. 1800 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 99.5cm x 80.1cm (39 3/16" x 31 9/16"), Accurate Acquisition Date: 1920 Ref. 722 B (see http://www.mainememory.net/ for information) | McLellan, Capt.

|
| 6024 | He died a bachelor. That this is him in Chestnut Grove Cemetery is confirmed because the stone gives "42y, 6m, 18d," which gives the date of his birth known from other sources. There are two infant Lansdales also buried at Chestnut ridge: an "infant daughter," d. 5 Oct. 1858; and John A. Lansdale, b. 16 Apr. 1860, d. 3 Sept. 1860.

| 6055 | He died on the way to London, or in London. Much on the Galloway and Chew families of West River can be found in J. Reaney Kelly, Quakers in the Founding of Anne Arundel County, Maryland (Baltimore: Maryland Historical Society, 1963). | Galloway, Samuel Sr. (I7948)
|
| 6056 | He died quite young, only a few years after being married. Addison papers are at the MHS. There is apparently a chart of Addison family records in Maryland Historical Magazine 14. | Addison, Thomas (I4249)
|
| 6057 | He died without being baptized, so presumable on the same day as birth. | Pitard, Anonime (I8237)
|
| 6058 | He died young. | Couret, Leonce Thomas (I3335)
|
| 6059 | He died young. He is the only of the children of Stephen and Grace who is not mentioned in Stephen's will. | Hall, Josiah (I15854)
|
| 6060 | He died “after a brief illness, of pneumonia.” | Duckett, Allen Bowie (I15738)
|
| 6061 | He died, apparently, in a plane crash scouting out a silver mine. | Degrange, Edward James Jr. (I13036)

| 6062 | At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. | Living (I4728)
|
| 6063 | He does not appear in the New Orleans birth indices. He's called Robert Mayorga in the 1930 census, but this pretty clearly seems to be him, living with his mother Mary and his father Joseph Mayorga's three children Robert, Lolita, and William, from Guatemala. He arrived to the U.S. in a 27 July 1931 immigration record. He is 21, traveling with Carlota Mayorga (18) and Lolita Mayorga (11) from Puerto Barrios, Guatemala, to New Orleans. He is described as “U.S. Citizen traveling with stepsisters.” I can't find him on the 1940 census. He may have been living abroad with his family; his sister Leonarda seems to have been. His mother is called "Mrs. J.D. Mayorga" when he is married to Shelby Faget in 1942. Leonarda Mayorga in her obituary is called his sister. She would technically be the half-sister. Leonarda is also named Mary Byrne Mayorga's daughter in her obituary. See notes under entry here for some confusion about dates. | Pitard, Robert John (I14255)
|
| 6064 | He does not appear in the NOLA birth indices, though his brother does. Note this death record for someone else of about the same birth year: Notice, Times-Picayune, 14 Feb. 1936, p4, under "Records of the Day-Deaths": Joseph Druilhet, 63, Charity hospital. The NOLA death record for this person is vol. 201, page 555; died Feb. 1936, aged 63. I'm not sure who this would be. | Druilhet, Joseph Montfort Jr. (I8245)
|
| 6065 | He does NOT appear in The Thomas Book; he appears only that I've seen in S611, the colonial dames application. According to this, he lived in Elk Ridge, Maryland. | Murray, Francis Key (I13001)
|
| 6066 | He does not appear on the 1900 census with his wife and children. | Donn, George William Jr. (I11421)
|

|
| 6068 | He does not appear with her on the 1860 census. | Keene, Capt. Samuel (I2083)
|
| 6069 | he does not appear with his family in the 1920 census | Howell, Jay C. (I5547)
|
| 6070 | He does not appear with his family on any census after 1850, and there are no children born to his wife after that date (Maskell is the last), so I assume that he had died by then. His children were born in Virginia, so the family must have lived there for a while. | Ewing, Maskell Cochran III (I8551)
|
| 6071 | He drowned as a child. | Taormina, Samuel (I14107)
|
| 6072 | He drowned at his ferry over the Jones River. | Barker, John Sr. (I10392)
|
| 6073 | He drowned while crossing the Potomac river | Mason, George III (I2181)
|
| 6074 | He edited vol. II of the von Rosenberg Family Record (designated S109). He was close to his first cousin Alma Julie, who compiled the first von Rosenberg family record. He lived in D.C. for much of his life, and would visit family. He was apparently a charming man. | von Rosenberg, Charles Wilburn (I611)
|
| 6075 | He emigrated from Ireland in 1715, renoucing his Catholicism for the Church of England on arriving in Maryland. He was a distant cousin of Charles Carroll of Carrollton (1737-1832). | Carroll, Dr. Charles (I9754)
|
| 6076 | He fought in WWI. | Welch, Benjamin Allein Jr. (I11070)
|
| 6077 | He gave a plot of his land in Manassas over to be a "Manassas Cemetery" in which he, his wife, and other Hixsons are buried. He built, in 1865, the "White House" on Main Street in Manassas. (There is also apparently a "white house" in Hixson, Tennessee, which must be related somehow?) | Hixson, George Washington (I2906)
|
| 6078 | He gave his body to science; a memorial is placed at St. David's with his wife Helen. | Pitard, Gustave Jean Baptiste (I5)
|
| 6079 | He graduated from the U of Maryland in 1829 in Medicine. Another biography, though, is this correct?: "M.D. University of Maryland, 1826; M.D. University of Pennsylvania, 1838. Of Prince George Co., Md." Both his mother's and his wife's names were Mary Waters. He was also the cousin (2nd cousin, once removed) of his wife Rachel--which means they have a common great-grandfather. From the 1830s, when Samuel Franklin drowned and left Essex to his four sisters, until 1851, Essex was owned partly by the sisters. During the 1850s, when Dr. Franklin Waters moved from Anne Arundel County, he gradually bought out the other heirs until he and Rachel Waters owned the entire farm. He is the man who built the original house at Essex in 1852. He built the core of the present house during 1852-53, and he moved there in 1853 from Prince George's County, near Holy Trinity Church. Living in his household in 1850 along with his wife and children are two of his wife's sisters and Mary Louisa Franklin, a cousin. 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. From then until 1934, when Aunt Jig the last daughter of Rachel Franklin died and passed it on to John Lansdale, it was owned by Waters. In 1870, there is a "Richard Waters" living with him, aged 61 (b. about 1809), "no occupation"; I don't know who this is. He is also there in 1880 as "Richard W" [that is, Richard W. Waters?], aged 71. His children are recorded in his family Bible. There is one name recorded there I cannot place: "Richard H. Waters died September 28th 189[?2], aged 85," which would make him born abt. 1808. | Waters, Dr. Franklin Sr. (I3415)

|
| 6089 | He had 2 wives; his first is unknown. He was a clothier. His will states that he would want to be buried "in the churchyard of the parish of Tyverton aforesaid as close as possible to the place where his first wife was buried." He mentiones a daughter "Alice Skinner" in his will, Alice Cornish, the wife of Aquilla. | Cornish, James (I8970)

|
| 6092 | He had 4 children with his wife Hannah. He was a devout Quaker. According to Newman, "During the Revolution he refused to bear arms against Great Britain, not as a Tory, but as a conscientious objector." He was a member of Indian Springs meeting, and later Baltimore. The certificate of marriage read "Edward Waters (Watters), son of Samuel, of Prince George's County, m. 25th day of 12th month called December, 1788, to Hannah Moore Snowden, dau. of William Hopkins of Harford County, at Indian Sring." | Waters, Edward (I3767)

|
| 6101 | He had 8 children all by his first wife. He is included on the Quaker Ancestors page. This is Cope's biography of him: "CALVIN COOPER was a taxable in Birmingham in 1732, and in 1734 was one of the overseers of the poor for that township. About this time he purchased a tract of land on the Octarara, at or near the site of Christiana, where he erected a mill. He was a fuller, or "cloth-worker," as given in old records. He died 9, 15, 1779. His first wife was Phebe, daughter of Samuel Hall, of Kennet, to whom he was married 4, 29, 1732; she died 6, 18, 1757, and a year later he married a widow, Elizabeth Jefferis. His children were as follows: 1. William, b. 9, 5, 1734; d. 2, 20, 1821; m. 12, 5, 1759, Elizabeth Pyle, daughter of John and Rachel, of Kennet. They settled in West Bradford, at a fulling-mill late belonging to Daniel Temple. 2. George, b. 2, 28, 1737; d. 1, 14, 1820; m. 10, 15, 1761, Susanna, daughter of Thomas and Ann Truman, of Sadsbury; second marriage, 5, 24, 1787, to Hannah Dixson. 3. John, b. 12, 9, 1739; d. 2, 15, 1811; m. 10, 24, 1764, Rebecca Moore, daughter of James and Ann, of Sadsbury. 4. Hannah, b. 10, 3, 1742, probably died young. 5. Mary, b. 12, 17, 1744; d. 9, 18, 1806; m. 3, 24, 1773, to John Dixson, and 11, 28, 1781, to James Phillips, of Hockessin. 6. James, b. 2, 14, 1747; m. 11, 8, 1775, Rachel, daughter of Andrew and Rebecca Moore, of Sadsbury. He married a second wife, Catharine Powell, and removed to Northumberland County, Pa. 7. Phebe, b. 6, 6, 1750, probably died young. 8. Sarah, b. 12, 12, 1753; m. to Thomas Dixson. Calvin's Cooper's residence was in Lancaster County, of which he was a commissioner, justice of the Common Pleas, and several times a representative in Assembly. His descendants are very numerous in this and adjoining counties. There were Coopers in Oxford and other townships, who are not supposed to be related to the above." | Cooper, Calvin (I4780)
|
| 6102 | He had 8 children in all, with Martha his second wife, not with Margaret. William, the Revolutionary War veteran, seems to have been the youngest. | Dye, Joseph (I9429)
|
| 6103 | He had 8 children, described in Needles, with family. | Haddaway, Thomas L. (I12084)
|
| 6104 | He had 8 children, of whom Samuel was the youngest. One son, James Houston (b. 1756), died in the Revolution at Paoli. | Houston, John (I6049)
|
| 6105 | He had 8 children. He immgrated from Gloucester, England to Philadelphia in 1700. Was he perhaps related to the Quaker Anne Webb who married Samuel Galloway, in Maryland? According to Cope and Fulthey, "WEBB, RICHARD, a settler in Birmingham, 1704, came from the city of Gloucester to Philadelphia in 1700. His wife, Elizabeth, a noted minister, had visited this country in 1697–98, and in 1710 paid a religious visit to her native land. (See also Birmingham Meeting, p. 234.) Richard Webb died in 1719. He had been a justice of the peace and an active citizen. His children were William, m. 1, 22, 1709–10, to Rebecca Harlan, and died about 1753; Mary, m. 1713, to George Brown, afterwards to John Willis, Jr., and Thomas Smith, died 1743; Esther, m. 1718 to Jacob Bennett; Sarah, m. to William Dilworth; Daniel, m. 9, 8, 1727, to Mary Harlan; Benjamin, m. 1725, to Rachel Nicklin; Elizabeth, d. young; James, b. 11, 19, 1708–9, d. 10, 26, 1785, married three times, and removed to Lancaster County. William Webb settled in Kennet, and was an active man in public affairs, a justice of the peace, and for many years a member of Assembly. His son William, born 11, 13, 1710, married 9, 23, 1732, Elizabeth, daughter of Daniel Hoopes, of Westtown, and had children,— William, b. 9, 26, 1736, d. 6, 7, 1773, m. Sarah Smith; Stephen, b. 12, 23, 1738, d. 9, 8, 1787, m. Hannah Harlan, 9, 17, 1766; Rebecca, b. 5, 25, 1741, d. 7, 22, 1775, m. Benjamin Taylor; Ezekiel, b. 6th mo., 1747, d. 5, 26, 1828, m. Cordelia Jones and Elizabeth Hollingsworth; Jane, m. to William White, Jr. With Richard Webb came his sisters Mary and Rachel, unmarried, who lived among their relatives here. John Webb produced a certificate to Philadelphia Monthly Meeting, 12, 28, 1700, from Gloucester Quarterly Meeting, held 6, 27, 1700, as did also Richard Webb, but we know nothing further of him. John Lea, wool-comber (baptized July 12, 1674), late of the parish of Christian Malford, in the county of Wilts, son of John and Joane Lea, of the same place, was married, 12, 1, 1697, at Gloucester Meeting, to Hannah Webb, of the latter place, widow of Joseph Webb. These also came over at the same time as Richard and John Webb. The children of Joseph and Hannah Webb were Hannah, b. 3, 31, 1687, m. Nathaniel Allen; Mary, b. 9, 26, 1688, m. Edward Pilkington; Ann, b. 8, 12, 1691; Sarah, b. 3, 21, 1693, buried in Philadelphia, 5, 2, 1714; Joseph, who died before 1735, leaving children,— Hannah, Joseph, and Sarah." | Webb, Richard (I11363)

| 6110 | He had 9 children. | Plummer, John (I5823)
|
| 6111 | He had 9 children. | Mercer, John Francis Jr. (I12421)
|
| 6112 | He had a lumber yard in Bellville. Where he might be on the 1860 and 1870 censuses is a mystery. His father was only 19 when he was born. By 1860 he would have been 9 years old. A biography appears in the Historical Review of Southeast Texas. I cannot find him, or his mother, on the 1860 or 1870 censuses. | Tomlinson, Edgar Austere (I22)
|
| 6113 | He had a number of children, by his first, second, and fourth wives. | Osgood, Christopher (I4665)
|
| 6114 | He had a plantation on the Severn River. | Hammond, Col. Charles (I5973)
|
| 6115 | He had a son named Justinian who, like his uncle, also died in 1699. | Tennison, John (I12314)
|
| 6116 | He had aboiut a dozen children with her husband Dr. Arthur Pue. | Dorsey, Sarah Sally (I11995)
|
| 6117 | He had at least four children with Sarah Maccubin. | Reynolds, Thomas (I8618)
|
| 6118 | He had been transported to Maryland by William Burgess in 1650, where he had begun as an indentured servant and then set out on his own, and prospered well. He became and convinced Quaker in Maryland. Samuel Galloway, among others, was an executor of his will. Names of his children are from his will, in the order that he names them. He was married twice. His first wife is unknown. His second was Isabel Parsons, whom he must have married after 1683 when her father, Thomas Parsons, mentions here as "Isabel Parsons" in his will. Later, Anthony Holland in his will (made 12 Feb. 1702) mentions his "dec'd wife Isabell," so she must have died by then. Because it's not clear when she married Anthony, or whose children might be her's, I've only included her as this note. | Holland, Anthony (I8384)
|
| 6119 | He had died by the time his first wife Sophia's successio was opened on that date. | Tomlinson, Jesse (I17145)
|
| 6120 | He had for a while a store in Germantown, Kentucky, but by 1850 he was in Cincinnati. There with his wife Julia in 1850 he is living with 6 children, the oldest of which is Damaris, aged 21, clearly a child of his first wife. | Gregg, John Matkin (I2082)
|
| 6121 | He had four children by his first wife, and two by his second. His will was probated by John Marriott, John Druce, and John Marriott Jr. | Warfield, Richard (I2628)
|
| 6122 | He had immigrated by 1755 as an indentured servant, and worked his way up to be an architect and builder in Virginia and Maryland. He worked on, for instance, the Hammond-Harwood house in Annapolis. He even had his portrait painted by Charles Willson Peale. | Buckland, William (I13423)

| 6128 | He had some kind of mental disability; in 1900 he is on the census in Pennsylvania at the Pennsylvania Training School for Feeble Minded Children. This was later re-named the Elwyn school. | Pitard, Arthur Jr. (I184)
|
| 6129 | He had the unfortunate distinction of contracting leprosy while he was in the army. He was badly mistreated in the army when he was mis-diagnosed for a time in 1919-1920. A number of newspaper articles in 1920 and 1921 describe his journey. He was transferred to washington D.C. for treatement, but they would not keep or treat him, so he seems to have protested his treatement, taking it to the surgeon general. He was shipped back to Louisiana, where he died a number of years later. | Centlivre, Willard (I15909)

|
| 6138 | He had two wives; Hannah was his first. Note: there is also a William Tureman who m. Elizabeth Dimmitt in Kentucky in 1839. She was apparently originally named “Remey,” and was first married to a James Dimmitt. This might be that James Dimmitt. | Dimmitt, James (I12679)

|
| 6146 | He immigrated by 1671. | Stephenson, Edward (I10170)

|
| 6148 | He immigrated from County Antrim, Ireland in about 1730, not far from the time that the McLellans crossed the Atlantic. His wife's maiden name was "Huston." | Elder, Samuel (I6158)
|
| 6149 | He immigrated in 1682 on the "Bristol Factor." He was received in Philadelphia Monthly Meeting with a certificate from Ross Monthly Meeting in Herefordshire. He was active in Abington Meeting, Chester Co., for many years. I've seen that he died in Bucks Co.--perhaps boundaries were changed at some point? He is included on the Quaker Ancestors page. | Bolton, Everard (I10016)
|
| 6150 | He immigrated with one brother. He was a Justice for the Peace in Middlesex Co., NJ. This couple had 13 children, 5 boys and 8 girls. His father may be Robert Hutchinson, a Scots-Irish immigrant who landed in 1685. Richard Hutchinson, the pre-eminent researcher for this family, found and recorded the gravesite for Richard and Ann Hutchinson. I've included here excerpts from his narrative about the location of the gravesite; I'd refer the reader to his site for the full narrative. "The following story appeared in the Village Record, of Hightstown, New Jersey, dated 20 Nov 1857: "Mr. Editor: On the farm now owned by Isaac Goldy, near Milford, about 2 1/2 miles from Hightstown, there is an ancient burial ground, wherein several of the old owners of the soil thereabout found the last resting place of their earthly remains. From a tombstone in that place I copy the following, verbatim et literatu: "Sacred to the Memory of Ann Hutchinson, Relict of Wm Hutchinson Esqr. departed this Life Jany. 4th 1801. Aged 101 years 9 Months and seven days. She was mother of 13 children, and Grand Mother and great grand mother, & great great Grand Mother of 375 Persons. "By applying the rule of compound subtraction, or more properly subtraction of denominate numbers, and making allowance for the difference between Old and New Style, we perceive that she was born on the 17th day of March 1699, and consequently lived in three different centuries, i.e. she was born on the 17th, lived through the whole 18th, and died in the 19th century. A very lengthy article might be written upon the times, the scenes, and changes through which she passed, and which she witnessed; but those conversant with history can fill up the great space of her life with general incidents to suit themselves. I will only mention a few facts in connection with her history, and that of her family. She was the wife of Wm. Hutchinson, Esq, a Justice of the Peace under the crown and government of England. This William Hutchinson took up from the government all the land bounded easterly by or near the Earl of Perth's Patent, (at the corner of the farm now owned by Mr. Wesley Sill,) and bounded northerly by Rocky Brook, and extending westerly to at or about the farm now owned by Thomas Mount, (son of Hiram Mount, dec'd); and extending southerly also to the Ely tract, (a tract of 1500 acres taken up by John Ely, my great grandfather,) at or about the property now owned by Abijah J. Chamberlin. You will perceive then, Mr. Editor, that your office, and all of Hightstown south of Rocky Brook, stands on the tract of this old lady's husband. [ . . . ] J.J.E. [Joseph J. Ely]" Richard Hutchinson then adds another letter: "In the Village Record on the following week of the 27th Nov 1857, a response to the above article was made by a great-grandson, Daniel P. Hutchinson, of William & Ann: "Mr. editor - Having noticed an article in your paper of the 20th inst., relative to the history of William and Ann Hutchinson, their burial place, and descendants, and thinking it may be interesting to some of your readers who may have lost the knowledge of their ancestors, I ask your indulgence while I speak of some matters connected with these things. "William Hutchinson and one of his brothers came from England to this county early in the 18th century. The maiden name of his wife Ann, was Simpson. Their family of children, thirteen in number, as is recorded on Ann Hutchinson's tombstone, consisted of five boys and eight girls. From these branches have sprung numerous families, bearing the name of Tindall in the neighborhood of Hamilton Square; English and Laird in Englishtown; Ely, Wilson, Moore, Taylor, and others, of this vicinity; Kannan [Kinnan], Bennett and others, of New Brunswick. The marriages into families of these names took place about one century ago. With later generations come in the names of Cubberly, Dey, Moore, Taylor, James, Hartman, and many others down to the present time, and now beside hundreds of Hutchinsons in this vicinity, these descendants may be found in almost every resident name among us. Although the date of the woman's birth reaches back a period of about one hundred and sixty years, and her descendants are numbered in the thousands, yet if she were living to-day in your borough, she might receive daily visits from a grand-daughter who is now in the middle age of life, while in other branches of the family she might look upon children with a string of greats too long for any but a clear-headed person to mention. "In the old burying ground alluded to, this host may look upon the final resting place of their time-honored ancestors- their first parents of this western world. But it would be a sad sight to many, for the plough has already broken the sod over many graves of this ancient burial place, and unless steps be speedily taken, there will soon be left no mark to designate the sacred spot where these first breakers of the soil rest. "I would ask if some plan may not be devised by which the remaining graves shall be religiously protected, so that future generations may read this headstone. We presume the present owner of the land would sell the lot to the descendants for a trifling amount - That such graves should be thoughtlessly trampled upon seems to us a burning shame; and from the personal knowledge we have of many of the descendants, we believe that a sufficient amount of money could be raised to do it in a permanent manner. D.P.H. [Daniel P. Hutchinson]" Richard Hutchinson continues, about this gravesite: "Today, this ancient cemetery still exists off of Cedarville Road but with only the two existing stones of Ann (Simpson) Hutchinson and her husband William plus pieces of other fieldstones used as grave markers. I'm afraid that nothing was done after the above article to preserve it and nothing has been done since. Recently, many members of the community thought that site had been protected by East Windsor Township due to the work of the East Windsor Township Preservation Commission several years ago. This was work in which I participated to a limited degree and even received written thanks from the Commission for helping preserve the site. However, after many years, I was among the many surprised residents who found out through various news articles in the local Hightstown, New Jersey papers that this ancient burial ground was not protected and had not been so protected as had been proclaimed by the Commission. After having found this gravesite, many years ago, I have walked through the fields to the site and tended to this ancient cemetery each November in an attempt to keep it open. I have planted numerous bulbs near the stones and have even introduced it to my grandson, aged 5, who would help me. This is the oldest known cemetery, with existing stones, in East Windsor Township and it should be protected from further destruction. The blade of the farmer's plow in the field currently passes over those two remaining burials while the farm nearby uses the site as a place to discard various materials. It would be a worthy project of the Hightstown-East Windsor Historical Society to clean it up, put a fence around it, and try to gain the proper preservation of the site for the future generations. It would be a great project for the Society to complete the job that the East Windsor Township Preservation Commission failed to finish. "William is buried in field to the right of the big bend in the road from Etra to Roosevelt, after leaving Etra, by Feldsher Road. The two trees in the field to the right mark the spot of these two graves. "I found unauthored notes & material on the Hutchinson family in the New Jersey Historical Society in 1980s in an uncataloged cardboard box. I was given access to this material that appeared to have been given to the Society from a family. It contained newspaper clips, notes, and many pages of handwritten family sheets. I believe that this material MAY have come from Elmer Tindall Hutchinson, who was an officer of the Society and a well known author and historian. In this material, was information on the William and Ann (Simpson) Hutchinson family, which indicated that an Isaac Hutchinson of Three Hills Run, NJ, had the family record material on William and Ann." | Hutchinson, William (I764)
