101 "Isaac Lewis Walker is a graduate of Millersville Normal School. He is now conducting the homestead farm of his ancestors in Sadsbury." Walker, Isaac Lewis (I9983)
 
102 "Isaac Walker was born in Sadsbury township, Lancaster Co., Pa., Jan. 27, 1808. He is the son of Isaac and Deborah (Dickinson) Walker, the grandson of Asahel and Anna (Moore) Walker, the great-grandson of Isaac and Sarah (Jerman) Walker, and the great-great-grandson of Lewis and Mary (Morris) Walker. The English ancestry is given in the biographical sketch of Joseph C. Walker.

"Lewis came originally from the border of Scotland, but directly from Wales. He settled first at Philadelphia, and afterward at Valley Forge, where he purchased from Penn one thousand acres of land. He erected the first stone residence (still standing, though enlarged) at Valley Forge, and gave the ground for a Friends' meeting-house and cemetery. The house was used by Gen. Washington for his quarters, and the meeting-house for a hospital in the Revolution. The tract is still owned by his descendants, all of whom have been Friends.

"In the female line Mr. Walker is descended from the Moores, the Newlins, and the Dickinsons. James Moore came from the county of Antrim, in Ireland, in 1723, and was the progenitor of the Moores in Sadsbury. His daughter Anna was the grandmother of Isaac.

"Nicholas Newlin emigrated from Ireland about 1683, and settled in Delaware County. His great-great-granddaughter, Mary Newlin, married Gains Dickinson. They were the parents of Isaac's mother.

"Gains Dickinson was the son of Joseph Dickinson, who came to America from Ireland, though he was said to be originally from England. He settled on Pequea Creek, in Salisbury township, and his sons, Gains and Joseph, inherited his estate. Deborah Dickinson, the daughter of Gains, was the mother of Isaac Walker. The celebrated Anna Dickinson, of Philadelphia, was the great-granddaughter of Gains. Isaac was reared on the homestead of his ancestors, in Sadsbury, on which his father had erected a school-house, in which he taught a school during portions of several years. In this house Isaac received the rudiments of an education which was afterwards improved at the Friends' Grammar School in old Sadsbury. In accordance with the earnest solicitation and advice of his mother he learned the trade of a tanner and currier, and in 1830 he purchased a tannery in Sadsbury, where during a number of years he carried on the manufacture of leather in connection with the mercantile business. He erected a number of new buildings, and founded the village of Smyrna, in Sadsbury. In the winter of 1839, under the administration of Governor Porter, he was appointed to the charge of the difficult Gap Division of the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad, in which position he continued during five years, after which he was for three years engaged in mercantile business at Smyrna. In October, 1847, he purchased the mansion farm of his ancestors, near Gap, and during more than thirty years he was engaged in agricultural pursuits. In 1872 he purchased a square of ground in Gap, including the "Penn Spring" and the "Shawnee Garden," the home of his mother's ancestor, and he has since endeavored to assist in building up the village of Gap. He now (1883) is engaged in the business of general merchandise on the place which he purchased eleven years since.

"Mr. Walker was married Nov. 2, 1831, to Eliza Ann, daughter of Abner and Mary (Kinsey) Brooke, of Sadsbury. She was of the highly respectable families of Brooke, in Montgomery, and Kinsey, in Bucks County, that were among the very early settlers in those counties. The eleven children of Isaac and Eliza Ann Walker, only six of whom are living, were born as follows:

Anna Maria, 3d of 8th month, 1832;
Mary Louisa, 2d of 6th month, 1835;
Isaac Buchanan, 7th of 2d month, 1838;
Eliza Josephine, 26th of 6th month, 1839;
Mercy Brooke, 10th of 1st month, 1842;
James Madison, 1st of 5th month, 1843;
Esther Jane, 22d of 12th month, 1845;
Sarah Francis, 13th of 7th month, 1849;
Abner Brooke and Deborah Dickinson (twins), 25th of 7th month, 1852;
Isaac Lewis, 14th of 4th month, 1854.

Of these. Isaac Buchanan, Mercy Brooke, Abner Brooke, and Deborah Dickinson died in infancy. Eliza Josephine married Isaac Diller, of Sadsbury, and died 7th month, 1873, leaving three children,--Anna Louisa, Isaac Walker, and Daniel Coleman Diller. . . . Mr. Walker has always been an active, energetic man, both mentally and physically. It is related of him that he once walked from Philadelphia to his tannery in Sadsbury, fifty-two miles, in eleven hours and fifty-five minutes. He is still hale and active, though at the age of seventy-five, and attends in person to his business." 
Walker, Isaac Jr. (I9960)
 
103 "Isaac Walker, the seventh of eight children of Lewis and Mary (Morris) Walker, was born in Radnor, Chester County, March 7, 1705. He died (in Tredyffrin) February 23, 1755. He married, November 11, 1730, at the house of Hannah Jones, in Tredyffrin, Sarah Jarman, born in Philadelphia, October 25, 1713, a daughter of Edward Jarman, who was a resident of Philadelphia as early as 1703, and who died ther September 10, 1714, possibly a son of John and Elizabeth Jarman before referred to. She married (second) January 25, 1759, Jacob Thomas, of Willistown, and lived to almost reach her ninetieth year, dying April 26, 1802."

He is included on the Quaker Ancestors page. 
Walker, Isaac (I4387)
 
104 "Isaac Wayne, son of Captain Anthony and Hannah (Faulkner) Wayne, was born in county Wicklow, Ireland, in 1699, and came to Pennsylvania, in 1724. In connection with his elder brother, Francis Wayne, he purchased, in 1727, one hundred acres of land in Easttown, Francis transferring his interest to him in 1739. In addition to this, his father and mother, Anthony and Hannah Wayne, conveyed to him by deed dated May 8, 1739, six months before the father's death, three hundred and sixty acres of the homestead. He was one of the prominent men of his section; was one of the principal subscribers to the fund for the erection of St. Peter's Protestant Episcopal Church in East Wheatland township, and identified with other local enterprises. He was one of the active members of St. David's Church, Radnor, from 1723 to 1776.

"After the defeat of Braddock, in the fall of 1755, Isaac Wayne raised a company in Chester county, of which he was commissioned captain. He marched with the company to the defence of the frontiers of Northampton county, and when Dr. Franklin took charge of affairs there, in the autumn of 1755, he was stationed at Nazareth. He was stationed at DuPuy's near Smithfield, now Monroe county, January 3, 1756; was ordered to Gnaden Hutten, a Moravian town, near the present site of Allentown by Franklin, and assisted in erecting a stockade there which was called Fort Allen, also assisting in erecting other forts and stockades on the frontiers of Northampton county, during the fall and winter of 1755-56. In February, 1756, his company was relieved and disbanded. He, however, raised another company and participated with it in the Forbes campaign of 1757-58. He was a member of Provincial Assembly from Chester county, 1757-63.

"He died at Easttown, Chester county, November, 1774. Captain Isaac Wayne married Elizabeth Iddings, born 1709, died May, 1793, daughter of Richard and Margaret (Phillips) Iddings, of Chester county, Pennsylvania, and they had one son, Anthony Wayne, the distinguished general, born 1745, and two daughters, Hannah, wife of Captain Samuel Van Leer, and Ann, wife of William Hayman." 
Wayne, Capt. Isaac (I10028)
 
105 "J.W. Fernandez," a trader born in Louisiana, aged 24 Fernandez, Joseph William (I13943)
 
106 "James Madison Walker is a practicing attorney at the Lancaster County bar. He married Eliza Ann Fawkes, of Sadsbury, and they have four sons: Wade Hampton, William Edmund, James Marshall, and Joseph Lewis. Esther Jane married Isaac Diller Worst. Their children are Jacob Rutter, Mary Pauline, George Walker, Newton Kelso, Anna Virginia, Marie Antoinette, and Esther Cora." Fawkes, Lida Ann (I4409)
 
107 "Johann Melchior's son Heinrich Martin was probably born in Weingarten in 1662 and baptized as a Protestant; he is found listed as a forest ranger from the Electoral Palatinate and as a farmer. His wife Elisabeth, née Müller, was also born in Weingarten and was baptized as a Protestant. In 1732 they felt compelled to convert their son to the Catholic Church with his wife and child." Martin, Heinrich (I1923)
 
108 "John Belt and Lucy Lawrrence m. 10 Feb. 1701 at a Quaker meeting, conivingly. Lucy is also betrothed wife of Joseph Tilly, ‘which action is contrary to the law of god and man.'" Belt, John Jr. (I10131)
 
109 "John Belt and Lucy Lawrrence m. 10 Feb. 1701 at a Quaker meeting, conivingly. Lucy is also betrothed wife of Joseph Tilly, ‘which action is contrary to the law of god and man.'" Lawrence, Lucy Talbott (I10244)
 
110 "John Truman, son of Thomas Truman, Sadsbury Twp., Chester Co., and Rachel Moore, dau of Andrew Moore, dec'd. With consent of parents."

He lived all his life near what was known as Truman's Mills, near Parkesburg, Chester Co. 
Truman, John (I13218)
 
111 "John Wesley" is the name which appears in JL Sr's autobiography. Lansdale, John Wesley (I3860)
 
112 "Joseph Miller, son of Gayon MIller of Kennet, Chester Co., and Jane Kirk dau of Jacob Kirk of Conestoga, Lancaster Co. with consent of parents 18th of 2nd month, 1738" Miller, Joseph (I4453)
 
113 "Key" Savage died in the 1980s, I think, perhaps in Berlin MD. Walter Savage has remarried. They had offspring. Hill, Cornelia Lansdale "Kee" (I4941)
 
114 "Le tourdré" is the appelation that appears on his wife's burial record ("the twisted"?). He is named "feu" on his son Lazare's 1743 marriage record (and his daughter Catherine's 1744 marriage). Fouque dit Le Tourdré, Pierre (I16333)
 
115 "Litterluna" was an estate in Baltimore Co. Carroll, Henry Hill "Of Litterluna" (I12387)
 
116 "Lorenz Martin's son was Johann Melchior Martin, who was born in Weingarten around 1630, is listed as a Palatinate forester and, like his father, remained a Calvinist." Martin, Johann Melchior (I17046)
 
117 "Louis O. Pitard" died, aged 30, on Feb. 25, 1901 in New Orleans.

He died by suicide. Two newspaper articles appeared about this. One is in the Times-Picayune on 26 Feb. 1901. A second article, "Louis O. Pitard Ends His Life," appeared in the New Orleans Item on the same date (erroneously identifying him as the son of Gustave Pitard). 
Pitard, Louis Octave (I10853)
 
118 "Magd Koenig" arrived from Le Havre, France, aboard the Austerlitz, on 22 Nov. 1839.

In 1855, the city directory shows this:

Pitard, A., Mrs. . . . St. John great route n. the bridge

This might imply that Augustine had died by 1855 and left his wife a widow. He's certainly dead by 1863 when she re-marries as "widow Pitard."

In the 1858 directory, these four Pitards appear:

Pistard [sic], A., Mrs. . . . St. John Great Route n. the bridge
Pitard, Gustave . . . 5 Magazine
Pitard, J., Mrs. . . . Franklin n. Erato
Pitard, O., Mrs. . . . 290 Trémé

The first will probably be the widow of Augustine.

In the 1860 census, in the 8th Ward, she is "VVe," or "Veuve," "widow," Pitard, aged 44 . She is living with "A. Pelige," male, perhaps a relative, also born in the Bas Rhine. Also are:

Louis, 12 (born in NOLA);
Charles, 38;
Edward, 32 (both born in the Gironde, France); and
Mortimer, 17.

I know that Mortimer is her son, but it's not clear what the last names of the others are.

Oddly, though, this family (and the household above it) seem to be recorded twice. There is also a record for the 9th Ward:

V. Petard, aged 44, as the last entry in the houself of Conti-real estate 800, as in the 8th Ward entry, born in Bas Rhine. This must be a mistake--she must belong to the next household, which is this:

4501; D. Pelegie
Louis ", 12
Charles ", 38
Edward ", 32
4502: M. Pitard, 17
Charles 20

What this might mean is that this one was for some reason copied incorrectly from the other entry and the person incorrectly divided households by last name. V. Pitard should be the HOH; in the household are 4 Pelegies; and Mortimer and Charles Pitard.

So, who is Charles Pitard, aged 20? This is the only place he seems to ever appear.

The 1860 census *also* shows a "V. Pitard," aged 44, born in Porto Rico, living in the household of M. Portenay or Pontenay.

In the 1890 New Orleans city directory she appears as "Lahargouette Madeleine, wid. John, r. 262 N. Broad."

On 3 Sept. 1892 this note appears in the New Orleans Item, under "Civil District Court, New Proceedings:

"Mrs. Marie St. Upery, widow Louis Rey vs. Mrs. Widow Jean Lahargonette [sic]--for possession of property." 
Koenig, Madeline (I13923)
 
119 "Mary Holland dau. of Thomas and Margret Holland b. Aug. 1713." But, this is recorded in St. James Parish, and her parents' marriage was Quaker, at West River Meeting, the year before? Holland, Mary (I13818)

125 "Nicholas Newlin emigrated from Ireland about 1683, and settled in Delaware County. His great-great-granddaughter, Mary Newlin, married Gains Dickinson. They were the parents of Isaac [Walker Jr.]'s mother." Newlin, Mary (I9973)
 
126 "Nicholas Waln of Pennsylvania, son of Richard Waln and Jane Rudd of Burholme in Yorkshire, born circa 1650, settled at Chapelcroft near Burholme, some time prior to his marriage to Jane Turner. On Fourth month [June] 7th, 1682, a certificate of removal was granted by the Friends of Settle Monthly Meeting to Nicholas Waln and family and others of his friends or relatives who intended to ‘remove into Pennsylvania.'"

Immigrated on the Lamb with his wife, and his sister Ann and her husband.

He is included on the Quaker Ancestors page.

The Genealogical Register account here as it continues is incorrect in that it places the Waln family on Penn's ship the "Welcome," when in fact he, along with his sister Anne's family, immigrated on the "Lamb." It continues:

"Nicholas Waln had purchased one thousand acres of land in Pennsylvania from william Penn, before sailing, by deed of April 21, 1682. Five hundred acres o f this land was laid out for him on 1684-85, along the Neshaminy Creed in Middletown and Northampton, [and] the first Friend's meeting in that locality was held January 1, 1682-83."

In 1696 he moved to what was called the "Northern Liberties" of Philadelphia, and he served in the Philadelphia Assembly from then off and on until 1717. He was active in the Phila. Monthly Meeting. A reference given is to an article in The Friend, vol. 28.

132 "Of Anthony Jackson we only know that he had a son Isaac, born about 1665, who was married at Oldcastle, 2mo, 29, 1696, to Ann Evans, daughter of Rowland Evans, of Balliloing, in the county of Wicklow, as appears by their marriage certificate by Carlow Monthly Meeting."

immigrated in 1725, with all children except for Thomas, who remained in Ireland. They became members of New Garden Monthly Meeting. 
Jackson, Isaac (I4500)
 
133 "of Ascension Parish." Hamilton, William S. (I17118)
 
134 "Of Assumption Parish." Bourg, Maximilien (I17142)
 
135 "of Cherrystone." According to MacKenzie, "CAPT. THOMAS SAVAGE of Savage's Neck, Virginia; Officer in Indian Wars; d. April, 1737; m. 9th November, 1722, Esther LITTLETON, dau. of Col. Nathanial and Susanna (WATERS) LITTLETON." Savage, Capt. Thomas III (I11761)
 
136 "Of Coventry, Conn." Strong, Jedediah (I13493)
 
137 "of Duxbury, Mass., and Lebanon, Conn."

This might be him; thomas Cushman, Old Cemetery, Lebanon, CT, d. 1728: 
Cushman, Thomas (I13491)
 
138 "of New Castle Co., Delaware." Grafton, Richard (I4415)

141 "of Prince George's County." Hall, Frank M. (I11590)
 
142 "Of Rockville, Maryland." Anderson, James (I11232)
 
143 "Of Rolle's Range." Rolle, Feddeman (I6473)
 
144 "of Saco, ME."

I take his date from Allan McLellan's history; the history of Saco and Biddeford says that he "died 1785, aged seventy three."

James emigrated from Ireland before his brother Hugh did (bef. 1733, that is), and settled in Worcester, Mass.

According to the Boston Transcript, genealogy column, dated March 1, 1905:

"James was the older brother of Hugh McClellan.  James married Mary Patterson. Hugh came to York, Maine and stayed with his brother, James, for about 2 years, helping him cut masts from the pine tree forests in the valley of the Saco River.  James planted potatos on his homestead farm and tradition says these were the first potatoes raised in this part of the country.  James was a grandson of Sir Hugh McClellan of the clan of Argyle, Scotland, whose sons through religious persecutions removed to the Province of Ulster and County Antrim, Ireland."

I have not see reference to Sir Hugh elsewhere; he may be apocryphal. 
McLellan, James (I3177)
 
145 "of Scarborough" Harmon, Henry (I4738)
 
146 "of Somerset Co., Maryland"; not related to the Anne Arundel Waters. How, though, might he be related to Edward Waters? Waters, Richard (I11827)

164 "The most intense migration from Port-Royal came in the years 1680 and 1690. Pierre Melanson and his young wife, Marguerite Minus d'Entremont, founded the village of Grand-Pré in 1682." It was in the interest of the Acadians to establish themselves in places like Grand-Pré as it provided access to the fur trade and shipping channels, and they found themselves sheltered from all intervention by officials. (from S260, citing Deveau, Alphonse et Sally Ross. Les Acadiens de la Nouvelle-Écosse; hier et aujourd'hui, Édition d'Acadie, Moncton, N.B., 1995.) Melanson, Sieur Pierre (I2308)

166 "The Pioneer." He is included on the Quaker Ancestors page because his son William married into a Quaker family. Nothing is known of his ancestry. He was likely to have been transported as an indentured servant. Iiams, William Sr. (I3808)
 
167 "They lived in Mason Co., Ky., removing thence to where Indianapolis, Ind., now stands."

According to the history of Christian County, "A list of the children of Sara Cushman (7th generation) and Morris Maurice Morris was taken from a Bible of Nancy Morris Turney, later owned by Amos Turney, Parish, Ky."

This is because their son John's third wife was Katherine Turney. She was Amos's brother. 
Morris, Morris I (I13508)
 
168 "They lived in Mason Co., Ky., removing thence to where Indianapolis, Ind., now stands."

dates from the internets. _Ancestral lines of the Doniphan, Frazee and Hamilton families_ names her incorrectly as Sarah Frazee (317). 
Cushman, Sarah (I13507)

Newman, AA Gentry, gives her birth as 29 Dec. 1696: this is an error. 
Waters, Margaret (I4069)
 
170 "Thos. Holland, son of Anthony Holland & Isabel, late of A.A Co. decd m. 2nd mo. 3rd day 1712 Margaret Waters, dau. of Jno. Waters, late of afsd. Co. decd. & Eliza his wife (suriviving) at West River mtg. House." Holland, Thomas (I8657)
 
171 "Tomb no. 8 in first aisle to left of main aisle, face east, between St. Louis & Conti streets" Avril, Angelique (I13648)
 
172 "Tomb no. 8 in first aisle to left of main aisle, face east, between St. Louis & Conti streets." On this map, this puts the grave in the north-eastern-most of the three blocks of the cemetery. Pitard, Joseph Barthelemy (I13627)
 
173 "Veuve Hacker" signed a document freeing a slave in Port-au-Prince in 1795 with a signature that matches "denis Hacker" on her son Vincent's birth record. I don't see a date beyond the year.

This would mean that her husband had died since Mar. 1793, when their son Vincent died. 
Denis, Anne (I13629)
 
174 "went West." McLellan, Thomas (I1605)
 
175 "When Margaretta Lansdale was very young, she stayed at the home of an uncle in Washington City. An old General McArthurs who also was staying there (from Ohio) he took a fancy to her and told her when she married if she would go to Ohio he would give her a good farm. They did and from Ohio over into Indiana I came in to the picture." The "I" here is Marguerite Glenn Hillabold (see descended relations). Lansdale, Margaretta (I3935)
 
176 "wife Sarah" mentioned in her husband John Brewer Jr.'s will. Ridgely, Sarah (I8640)
 
177 "William French Skilman" is listed as a witness for the will of his sister, Elizabeth (Skilman) Hall (d. 1840, Loudoun County). He had 7 children with his wife Sallie. Skillman, William Friench (I7226)
 
178 "William Henry Farquhar married Margaret Briggs in 1844, six years after building the original Cedars. Educated at Benjamin Hallowell's Brimstone Academy in Alexandria, William Henry was principal of the Fair Hill School, county surveyor, school commissioner, civil engineer, and long-time head of the Lyceum. A gifted writer, he was historian for the first volume of the Annals. Margaret, daughter of Isaac Briggs, was a charter member in 1857 of the Women's Mutual Improvement Association."

281 Her parentage can only be rated as probable. The Hamilton history says that she was from Havre de Grace, Maryland (559). So the connection to her father Daniel makes sense, but lacks anything so far but circumstantial evidence. I have good references to Daniel Donovan's ancestry itself (see the references there); it is the link between Daniel and Dilly that needs to be clarified.

She and her parents appear on the Maryland Mysteries page.

283 I do NOT have a document that directly connects her as a child of Jean Baptiste Mahé-Desportes and Marie Bontelle de Beaumier. This is probable, however, for two reasons:

First, her probably vital dates match up.

Second, her husband Hugues and son Joseph's names appear on the probate documents as "tutors" for Pierre Hacker's minor children in 1831.

In 1792 appears this birth record in Arcahaye; no father is mentioned, but it's a good guess that it's the same person:

D'an mille sept cent quatre vingt douze, et le dixhuit Septembre, a ete Baptise Eugene Charlotte fille naturelle de Mahé Desporte, agèe dix huit mois, le parrain a ete le Sieur Jaquet, negotiant de cette ville, et la marraine Clarisce Saur [?sp], en foy dequoy ecou [?] a vous signié [sic-signé] avec le parrain la marraine, agant [?] de curé ne le Seavoir [?]. . .

287 Times-Picayune, 23 Mar. 1890, p10:

On Saturday afternoon were married at the Jesuits' church Miss Blanche Pitard and Mr. Frank L. Coffee of California. Mr. Coffee is a direct descendant of General Andrew Jackson, and was born and raised in Claiborne county, Miss., but is now living with his family in California. Miss Pitard is a charming young Creole girl of the well-known Pitard family, and carries with her the best wishes of hundreds of warm friends. Her only attendants at the ceremony were her two little cousins, George and Inez Pitard. The ushers were Mr. Louis Pitard and Dr. J. Moore Soniat. The severe illness of Mr. Coffee's father hastened the marriage and interfered materially with the plans of the wedding. Numbers of friends and acquaintances who did not receive invitations will understand that this is the cause of their failure to arrive.

288 Times-Picayune, 27 Feb. 1887, p9:

The marriage of Miss Julia Pitard to Capt. Enrique Portas Ramierz, of the Mexican navy, was solemnized on Saturday last at the Jesuits' Church. In spite of the rain which was falling in torrents, the church was thronged with teh friends of the happy couple, thus testifying to their popularity and the high esteem in which they are held. Miss Pitard was attended by little Miss Vertilee Stanton and little Miss Inez Pitard as flower girls. The bridesmaids were Miss Blanche Pitard, Miss Louise Theard, Miss Mamie Fitzpatrick, Zulmee Dunbar and Agatha Pitard. The groomsmen were Messrs. Manuel Zamora, Louis Pitard, Louis Petitpain, Andrew Fitzpatrick, Daniel M. Pitard, Pedro Solis (Vice Consul of Spain), J. Moore Soniat du Fossat, L. Imhold and J. Frois officiated as ushers. The bride, who is a pretty, attractive brunette, looked extremely lovely in a handsome white gros grain, elegant in its rich simplicity. The soft white veil of tulle was caught up at the side of the coiffure by an aigrette of orange blossoms and diamond ornament. The pretty bridesmaids were clad respectively in cream, blue and rose satin. Father Hubert made a very touching and apropos address to the couple, after which he pronounced them man and wife, then the sweet soprano notes of Mrs Witham were re-echoed through the church in a lovely Ave Maria. After the religious ceremony the bridal party proceeded to the bride's residence, where a reception followed, including only a limited number of friends and relatives. Capt. Portas Ramirez has taken unto himself, in the person of his lovely bride, a rare treasure of which he is well worthy. The young couple left after Mardi Gras for a bridal tour of three months, most of which time will be spent in travel.

293 His ancestry can only be rated probable.

There are several Savage immigrants to the eastern shore of Virginia, but I've seen no clear study of their families which lead to him. I rely here mostly on the history of James Cochran Savage, and family tradition. Neither cites sources to connect this man clearly to his father's generation
.

I don't see him in the 1790 or 1800 US census anywhere. "James Savage" does appear on the 1800 KY census as a taxpayer, however, in Mason Co.

Was he a Revolutionary War soldier? This could also very well be wishful genealogy, though some county histories do say so. No-one has used him to join the DAR. His brother John fought in the French and Indian War under Washington in his Virginia company.

This is about his Great-grandson, which seems to tell something about him as well:

Harrison B. Savage, M. D., Galena, is a son of Dr. Charles Smith Savage and Elizabeth P. (Burgess) Savage. His father was born in Germantown, Mason county, Kentucky, Dec. 8, 1829, the son of James Phillips Savage and Sallie (Currens) Savage. James Phillips Savage was born in Virginia Jan. 16, 1792, a son of James and Mary (Phillips) Savage, both of whom were born in Virginia, whence they came to Kentucky at a very early date. The Savage family is of Welsh origin. The father of James Savage was a Revolutionary soldier. James Phillips Savage came to Kentucky with his widowed mother and, her eleven other children in 1799, in a covered wagon, and settled near Maysville, then called Limestone.

Standard Pub. Co. Chicago : 1912. 3 v. in 4. : front., ill., ports.; 28 cm. Vols. I-II edited by Frank W. Blackmar. Transcribed December 2002 by Carolyn Ward. This volume is identified at the Kansas State Historical Society as microfilm LM195. It is a two-part volume 3.)

"Mrs. Williams is a daughter of John P. Savage, a son of James Savage, of Revolutionary fame, he having served throughout the entire struggle for independence. After the close of the war, in 1791, James Savage removed from Virginia to Kentucky, with his wife and children. Settlement was made at Poplar Flat, Lewis County, Kentucky, some fourteen miles above Maysville. There Mr. Savage improved a fine farm from the virgin wilderness and in those early pioneer days it was necessary to barricade the doors against the attacks of Indians. The old homestead is now owned by the fifth generation of his descendants and the old log cabin built by him in the early days is still a part of the family residence. A fact worthy of record here is that during the many years which have elapsed since the time of the immigration of James Savage to Kentucky not a single death occurred in the house from disease until a few years ago. James Savage continued to reside on his homestead during the remainder of his life, and prior to his death, through thrift and industry, he had accumulated a large property, owning at one time a great number of slaves. His wife, whose maiden name was Mary Phillips, was a native Virginian and was descended from King Philip, of England. To Mr. and Mrs. James Savage were born eight children--six sons and two daughters."

--BTW, there has never been a King Philip of England.

From a History of Lewis Co., Kentucky:

"February Court term of 1834 . . . The following rather peculiar, though perhaps valuable, record was made in the order book of the Lewis County Court: "The following persons are the only heirs of James P. Savage, deceased: Pleasant M. Savage, James Savage, John P. Savage, Francis Asbury Savage, Samuel P. Savage, William P. Savage, Mary Jane Johnson, late Mary Stout, the daughter and only child of Sally Stout, who, previous to her marriage, was Sally Savage and the daughter of the above-named James Savage, deceased; and James A. Frizzell, Alexander Frizzell, and Margaret Frizzell, children of Polly W. Frizzell, deceased, who was, previous to her marriage, Polly W. Savage and the daughter of the above-named James P. Savage, deceased."

This makes his middle initial "P."

297 This person's ancestry is a stumper! Can anyone help? He is on the Louisiana Mysteries page. The name also appears as Tumblinson, Tamlinson, Tumbleston, Tomelson, Tomblenson, Tomblesson, Thompson.

Other Tomlinsons, maybe or maybe not related:

According to family researcher Karen Theriot, a son of Thomas Tomlinson and "Geuty" (Gertrude or Margaret?) named Jesse "acted as sponsor or witness on William's family records." Hebert's Southwest Lousiana Records names Jesse's father as Thomas Tombleson and Jesse's mother as "Guerty." Jesse Tomlinson appears elsewhere on this site connected via other family in St. Mary Parish. See him for more information.

William Chisholm Tomlinson, who was born in 1805, would have been of an age to be one of the 25-40 year-old men in Jesse Tomlinson’s household in the 1830 census. He was not there, though, in 1820, when he would have been 15.

Nathaniel and Elizabeth/Isabel Tomlinson from Natchez appear in New Orleans judicial records around the year 1800.

John Chappell Tomlinson died in 1845 in Nacogdoches, m. to Margaret. His family was from Georgia. Leonard Tomlinson was a son of John Chappell. A biography of William Chisholm's grandson Edgar Austere says that William Chisholm's family was from in Georgia, as does his obituary. William Chisholm's wife Tabitha Knight appears as a citizen in the Republic of Texas (1836-1845), along with "Leonard Tomlinson" and "Aaron Tomlinson." I have not seen evidence to connect John Chappell's family to William Chisholm's, however.

Tomlinsons appear in newspapers before 1825 in Georgia newspapers.

There is a Tomlinson Cemetery in Heflin, Bienville Parish, Louisiana. There was a Chisholm family from St. Landry Parish.

I have seen no evidence to connect these three families - Jesse's, William Chisholm's, and John Chappell's. 
Tomlinson, William Chisholm (I3874)
 
298 This person's ancestry is one of my biggest stumpers. I have no idea who this man’s father is.

This is a long note that talks about a lot of Mannen families in Bracken & Mason counties, to sort out their ancestries. If you’re interested, keep scrolling down . . .
He is on the Kentucky Mysteries page. I would request a death record, but death records from Bracken Co. for 1879 don't exist: see http://www.kdla.ky.gov/research.htm.

There are a number of Mannens in Mason and Bracken counties, but they are difficult to connect. I describe facts about Mannens in Mason and Bracken Co through 1870 to sort these families out. Mannan, Manning and other variants exist.
A John Mannen is listed on the internets as an early settler at Fort Boonesborough/Boone's Station in 1775, but this may be an error. No John Mannen is named in the Land 1779-1780 commission records (see the 1923 articles).

In the1800 census John Mannon appears as a taxpayer.
The first time John Mannen, or any Mannen/Mannon etc., appears in the Mason Co. Wills and Estate index is in Oct. 1804, when John Mannen, Samuel Frazee, and Benjamin Hiatt are named in an estate inventory for John Scott (dated 27 Aug. 1804, recorded Oct. 1804).

In the1810 census John Mannon again appears.

On 22 Sept. 1812, John Mannon and Thomas T[olley] Worthington witnessed the will of John Watson. A Thomas Mannen married Thomas Tolley's daughter Rachel; she was born in 1800. I've seen Thomas’s birthdate listed, unsourced, as 1798.
In the War of 1812 a sergeant "John Mannan" served in Capt. Dowden's company of Pogue's Kentucky Volunteers in the War of 1812; he served from Aug. 27, 1812 to Sept. 26, 1812. Another "John Mannan" served as a private in Robert Crutchfield's detachment of the Virginia Militia (a pretty big coincidence with the marriage of 1814, next).
On 27 July 1814 John Mannen married Charity Crihfield (Crutchfield) in Mason Co. This is likely to be John Mannen Jr., son of the John Mannen who m. Elizabeth Hughes. This also seems to be the named “Gen. John Mannen” later, an early founder of Mason Co.
23 November 1815, Catherine Mannen m. William Neal; she is a daughter of John Sr. d. 1822.
On 26 Feb. 1816 Elizabeth Mannen married William Thomas in Mason Co. She is a daughter of John Sr. d. 1822.
In 1819, a John Mannen is listed as leaving an estate in Mason Co., and as having left a will. (Query: Who is this???)

In the 1820 Census the following all appear living closely to each other>: Jas Pollock; Jos Pollock; and then several lines later, all as heads of household: Jno Mannon, Sra Perkins, Jas Mannon, Jno Mannon Jr.
On 24 May 1821 Thomas Mannen married Rachel Worthington in Mason Co.

A John Mannen Sr. died in 1822. This would most logically be the man on the 1820 census, with his sons after him. His will lists the following as his family, including John Sr. and eight children. The will is in Will Book E, on pages 296-97:
| James Mannen, b. before 1801
| John Mannen, b. before 1801
| Elizabeth Mannen, b. before 1801 (m. William Thomas on 26 Feb. 1816 in Mason Co., KY)
| Catherine Mannen, b. before 1801 (m. William Neale on 23 Nov. 1815, in Mason Co., KY)
| Thomas Mannen, b. before 1801
| Patty Mannen, b. after 1801
| Sidney Mannen, b. after 1801
| Nancy Mannen, b. after 1801

The problem of fitting my John as the son of John d. 1822 is that the dates don't jibe. My John was born in 1814 according to his gravestone and every census after 1850. Therefore, he would only be about 8 at the time of this will, not 21 or of an age to be an executor. Maybe, then, my John is a son of James or John, the sons of John?

Query: Is Thomas son of John Sr. d. 1822 the one who married Rachel Worthington?
Query: Could my John Mannen b. 1814 be a *son* of James or John Jr. or even Thomas?
John Sr. was married to Elizabeth Hughes: Sidney S. Mannen was married (by the Rev. James Savage) to Eliza Walton on 10 Aug. 1837 in Bracken Co. He is more than likely the son of John Mannen Sr. d. 1822 named Sidney. This Sidney is named as the son of John "Manning" and Elizabeth Hughes, a couple who were married in Pennsylvania and then traveled to Ohio. Sidney later (1844) moved to Jefferson Co., Illinois, where he died in 1872, and his 10 children had families.

In the 1830 census: James Mannen and John Mannen appear.

I assume that these are the same two as in the 1820 census, sons of John Sr. d. 1822. A guess is that my John is a son of one of these.
• In 1832, a John Mannen died and left an estate, with no will, in Mason Co.
• In 1834, a James Mannen died left an estate, with no will, in Mason Co.
Query: are these the sons of John d. 1822? If so, who are the James and John on the 1840 census, below?
10 Aug. 1837 Sidney S. Mannen was married (by the Rev. James Savage) to Eliza [Agnes] Walton on in Bracken Co.
There are two different James Mannens here, and at least three different John Mannens:
• John Sr. d. 1822
• John who d. 1832
• John on the 1840 census
• My John, b. 1814, who may be the one on the 1840 census.
• John who m. Sally Tarrant
On 27 Jan. 1834, Richard Kirk married Mary (Cushman) Mannen in Mason Co. Her name, as Mary Kirk, is on my John Mannen's gravestone because her first husband was named Mannen. Richard Kirk was her second husband; unfortunately, her first husband's first name is not given. But the John Mannen d. 1832 is a possibility. Mary was born in 1794, making her 40 when she married Richard as his second wife, and died in 1870. Note that John Mannen d. 1822 has no daughter named Mary.
On 7 Nov. 1836 Mary Ann Mannen m. John D. Hern in Mason Co.
On 15 Sept. 1838 Nancy Mannen married Benjamin F. Driskell in Mason Co.
In 1839, a Susan Mannen died and left an estate in Mason Co., with no will.

In the 1840 census the following appear:
• John Mannen Jr. (Northern Div., Mason Co, Kentucky, page 37)
• James Mannen (first name partly obscured, but it must be him) is again nearby, on page 39 (which is actually the next page on that 2-page census).
• John Mannen in Bracken County in the 1840 census.
• Sidney S Mannon, Bracken Co. KY

In 1840, several Mannens—"Colonel Thomas Mannen," "Capt. T. Mannen," and "Gen. John Mannen" served as Electors for the Democratic party in that year's presidential campaign. No doubt one of the "T" Mannens is the one who served in the war of 1812 as a major. I've seen unsourced reference to the fact this "Gen" John Mannen is the one who married Charity Critchfield in 1814, but I have nothing further here.
On 27 Feb/4 March 1840 Thomas Mannen m. Susan Anderson in Mason Co.
On 27 Apr. 1844, Andrew I. Mannen married Sarah Shotwell in Bracken Co.; married by Thos. Grange.
On 17/21 Oct. 1847 Martha Mannen m. Edward Robertson in Mason Co.
On 5 Apr. 1848 David Mannen m. Comfort Ann Pepper in Mason Co.
On 15 November 1849 Elizabeth Mannen married William Soward in Mason Co.

In the 1850 census the following apper:
• John Mannen b. 1814 m. Minerva Hamilton lists his birthplace, and the rest of his family's, as Kentucky. He is in district 3. In this census, John Mannen and Minerva Hamilton live 2 houses away from Joseph Frazee and Ann Cushman.
• David Mannen (aged 36), wife Ann (aged 23) and child Mary L (aged 1), all born in Kentucky. They are only two pages after John Mannen. This would probably be David and Ann (Peppers). Mary L. Mannen, b. 1850 is listed as their daughter. On 30 May 1871 in Mason Co. Mary L. married Alexander R. Victor from Harrison Co., Ky, born 1845,
• Thomas Mannen (aged 51), wife Susan (aged 42), with four children from ages 9 to 2. This is Thomas m. Susan Anderson in 1840. He would be the correct age to be the son of John Sr. d. 1822.
• Martin M. Mannen, aged 26, married to Susan, aged 23, with children Mary E. (aged 2) and David A. (aged 1/12). Note that John and Minerva's daughter is also named Mary Elizabeth, born the same year.
On 15 Oct. 1850 Francis Mannen m. Ann Fernoughly or Fennoughty in Mason Co.

In the 1860 census:
• Thomas H Mannen, aged 18, household of George Wood, with Susan (12) Richard L (15)
• James Mannen, 19, in household of Charles Anderson
• Thomas Mannan born in Ireland, married to Bridget
• John, with Minerva and Leslie and Mary E.
Several Mannens (Thomas H., John N. or W., and Enoch) served with the 40th Regiment of the Kentucky Volunteer Mounted Infantry in the US Army during the Civil War. Thomas H. Mannen is mentioned in War Reports (War of the Rebellion I.XX Part I: Reports, page 147); this is a report on Morgan's Raid.

In 1865, John Mannen appears on the Official List of Incomes of the Sixth Internal Revenue District of Kentucky, Mason Co.; income was $309. No other Mannens appear on the list. (Maysville Eagle, August 15, 1866)

313 A biography of him can be found in John Smith Kendall, History of New Orleans, vol. 3 (Chicago: Lewis, 1922): 900:

"R.D. Pitard. The name of Pitard is one which has been known in business circles of New Orleans for upwards of half a century. Three generations of business men have carried on enterprises which have borne this name, and all three have established reputations for integrity and records for success gained honorably. A worthy representative of the family is found in RD Pitard, who is carrying on a flourishing general hardware and paint business.

"Mr Pitard was born at New Orleans, a son of Daniel and Barsilla (Bemiss) Pitard. His grandfather, Gustave Pitard, likewise a native of New Orleans, where the family has been represented for many years, spent his entire life here and from small beginnings built up a successful business in the line of hardware. He was primarily a business man and devoted his entire attention to the conduct of his establishment, so that he had little leisure for other matters, but is remembered as a good and public spirited man who did not fail in any of the duties of citizenship. He married Cecile Marpay [sic-Maupay], also a native of New Orleans and a lifelong resident of this city.

"Daniel M. Pitard, the father of RD, was born at New Orleans and secured his education in private schools. As a youth he chose merchandising as his life work, and received his introduction to business affairs as a clerk in his father's hardware establishment. When the elder man died he assumed control of the business, which he conducted for a long period, but of more recent years has occupied himself with assisting his son in the conduct of the latter's enterprise. Daniel M Pitard married Miss Barsilla Bemiss, also a native of New Orleans, who survives as a resident of this city.

"RD Pitard acquired his education in the parochial schools of New Orleans and the Jesuit College, and after his graduation from the latter institution began clerking in the store which had been established by his grandfather. There he learned the business in all its particulars, and in 1915 founded a business of his own, at No. 115 Chartres Street, with another entrance at No. 116 Exchange Place. Mr. Pitard carries a full line of shelf and heavy hardware, paints, oils, glass, etc., and is able to fill any order, large or small. He has established a reputation for fair and honorable dealings, and his natural courtesy and quick attention to the wants of his customers have combined to make a favorable impression and to gain him many friends and added custom. His establishment is modern in every respect, and he carries on his business in an energetic and progressive manner. Mr. Pitard is a member of the New Orleans Association of Commerce and has given his support to worthy civic movements, although his growing business has left him little time to engage in politics or public affairs.

"In 1909 Mr Pitard was united in marriage with Miss Alice Ford, who was born at New Orleans, a daughter of James and Alice (Swarbrick) Ford."

He appears as a WWI draftee living at 3914 Canal; he apparently failed the physical. He and his wife Alice had no children.

314 A biography, from Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 7th ed., 1887, Kenton Co.

HENRY WORTHINGTON was born in Mason County, Ky., September 1, 1826, and is the youngest of a family of fourteen children born to Thomas T. and A. (Whipps) Worthington. Thomas T. Worthington was born in Baltimore County, Md., immigrated to Kentucky in 1796, and settled in Mason County. He was a prominent and successful farmer and stock raiser, and was a son of Samuel Worthington, who was born in England, and was a very wealthy gentleman. Mrs. A. Worthington was a native of England, and was a daughter of John Whipps. Henry Worthington left his native county in 1847, and went to Scioto County, Ohio, where he operated the Buena Vista free-stone quarries for about ten years, employing about 600 men. Subsequently he moved to Covington, Ky., where he engaged extensively in dealing in leaf tobacco, in which business he has since been successfully engaged. In 1876 he bought a two-thirds interest in the Licking Rolling Mills of Covington, Ky., of which his is president. In 1882-83 the Licking Rolling Mills Company built the Maumee Rolling Mills in Toledo, Ohio.
June 16, 1853, he was united in marriage to Miss Maria Slack, daughter of Col. Jacob A. Slack. Six children blessed this union, four of whom are living: Henry S., Lillie Stewart, Mattie and Annie Hamilton. Mrs. Worthington died in 1867, a strict member of the Presbyterian CHurch, of which church Mr. Worthington is also a member. Politically he was an old line Whig, but now belongs to the protective wing of the Democratic party."

Here is another history of him, from the History of Cincinnati and Hamilton County:

HENRY WORTHINGTON was born in Mason county, Ky., September 1, 1826, son of Thomas T, and Arah (Whipps) Worthington, natives of Baltimore county. Md., who settled at Limestone, now Maysville, Ky., about 179. His grandfather, Samuel Worthington, was an English federalist who came to Maryland with one of the Lords Baltimore: he had twenty four children, and has numerous descendants in Mason, Bracken and Mercer counties, Ky. Thomas T. Worthington's family numbered sixteen children, all of whom reached maturity, and three are now living; Madison, a farmer in Mason county, Kr.: 'Martha, wife of William T. Craig, of Sioux City, Iowa, and henry. The last named received his education at a log schoolhouse on his father's farm, His first business venture was the development of an extensive stone quarry in Scioto county, Ohio, with the product of which he freighted steamboats and barges, and supplied materials for bridge abutments, buildings, etc., not only at Cincinnati, but also at Pittsburgh, Louisville, St. Louis. Natchez, etc. This industry gave employment to 500 men dewing summer. During the panic of 1857, owing to the difficulty of making collections, Mr. Worthington sold out the business at a loss of $18,000, although he met all his obligations in full. In 1860 he came to Cincinnati and embarked in the business of handling leaf tobacco, in which he still continues, and is also largely interested in the tobacco business as a producer, his farm of 2,000 acres, probably the largest in Hamilton county, being partly devoted to tobacco culture; he also has interests of a similar nature in Kentucky. Mr. Worthington owns a one-third interest in the Maumee Rolling Mills, Toledo, Ohio; he has invested largely in the electric light plants of Newport and Covington, Ky. ; Circleville, Ohio, and other places; in a blast furnace at Tonawanda, N. Y., in a foundry at Indianapolis. Ind., and in real estate at Toledo, Covington and elsewhere. Since 1853 he has resided at Covington.
Mr. Worthington married Maria, daughter of Col. Jacob A. Slack, of Mason county, Ky., who died May 30, 1861, leaving four children: Elizabeth, Henry S., Anna and Mattie. Henry S. originated the Chesapeake & Ohio bridge at Cincinnati, secured the charter for it, and, having successfully launched the enterprise, disposed of it at a large profit. He has traveled in Mexico, Europe, etc., and now resides in New York, where he takes high rank among the literati of that city. Elizabeth married Archibald Stuart, proprietor of a newspaper at Toledo, Ohio, and a member of the Thomson-Houston Electrical Company. Anna is the wife of George G. Hamilton, one of the largest tobacco producers of Kentucky. Mr. Worthington was a Whig in ante-bellum days, but is now a Democrat. His religious connection is with the Presbyterian Church."

NOTE the error here: compared to the first biography, in fact "Elizabeth, Henry S., Anna, and Mattie" are not Jacob Slack's children, but Henry and Maria's.

315 A biography, from http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfayett/:

FRED FRICKE. Of the men of Fayette County who have contributed to the material growth and development of this part of Texas, few are more widely or favorably known than Fred Fricke, of Round Top. During his long and active career his experiences have included operations as a merchant, traveling salesman, stock dealer and banker, and at the present time he is president of the State Bank of Round Top and one of the most influential and progressive men of the village.

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.

Fred Fricke was a lad of eight years when he accompanied his parents to Fayette County, and his education was secured under the preceptorship of his father, with additional schooling at LaGrange. He had a teaching experience of one year in a country school before he entered business life, and in 1873 went to Brenham and became a merchant's clerk. Three years later he engaged in mercantile pursuits on his own account there, conducting a store until 1878, when he went on the road as a traveling salesman, a vocation in which he followed the "trail" until January 1, 1897. Mr. Fricke started on the road for W. D. Cleveland, of Houston, was later with Ullmenn, Lewis & Company, and subsequently spent thirteen years with Foche, Wilkins & Lang, covering Texas territory throughout this long period, and becoming widely and favorably known throughout the state. When he left the road Mr. Fricke turned his attention to the stock business and farming in Fayette County, and became rather extensively identified with these lines, which he followed until 1908. He introduced a good blood of cattle into the country, occasionally shipped his stock, and as a farm improver added homes to the farm for tenants and gave an impetus to an already wakeful spirit there. On December 19, 1912, Mr. Fricke became identified with financial matters when he became the founder of the State Bank of Round Top, an institution with a capital of $10,000, of which he has since been president and his son, George H. Fricke, cashier. In the direction of this enterprise Mr. Fricke has displayed the possession of marked business and financial ability, a natural courtesy and broad-mindedness, a knowledge of affairs and human nature gained in his long years of travel and experience, and good business and financial judgment, which, combined with his high reputation for stability and substantiality, have gained the confidence of the depositors of the .bank, as well as a high standing for the institution in financial circles. Mr. Fricke has not entered actively into political life, but has cast his presidential vote always with the republican party.

On February 20, 1880, Mr. Frieke was married to Miss Louisa Weyand, a daughter of George Weyand, a merchant of this community, a large real estate dealer, and a sterling citizen. Mr. Weyand married Christina Becker, and their living children are: Mrs. E. Nagel, Mrs. Alex von Rosenberg, Mrs. Louisa Fricke and Mrs. Lena Kaiser.

The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Fricke are as follows: Paul, a business man of El Campo, Texas, who married Adelia Hahn; Arthur, a business man of Carmine, Texas, who married Irene Vogelsang and has a daughter, Eveline; Fred, Jr., a stockman of this locality, who married Eugenie Vogelsang and has a son, Clinton; George H., who is cashier of the State Bank of Round Top, and married Louisa von Rosenberg, has two children, Helmer and Vernon; Lydia, the wife of Walter von Rosenberg, of Malone, Texas, a merchant, who has two daughters, Loraine and Loretta; Edgar, a student in the Blinn College, Brenham; and Estella, who is attending the public schools.

316 A biography, from http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfayett/biographies_e-j.htm#ernest_fricke; he worked as a young man for Alex von Rosenberg, as this describes:

ERNEST FRICKE, of Round Top, is a typical Texan, born in Fayette County, September 19, 1875, prominent in business as a young man, and of more recent years a leading merchant and in the forefront of movements beneficial to the material and moral uplifting of the community. As far as his education is concerned he is also a product of the Lone Star State. Starting his business in a modest way, relying upon the local patronage for its support, by untiring energy and remarkable initiative he has built up a large and prosperous enterprise, which attracts its trade from all over the county.

Mr. Fricke is a member of a pioneer family of Texas, and a grandson of the founder thereof, George H. Fricke, who was born in Hanover, Germany, September 19, 1821. In 1846 George H. Fricke sailed from the city of Bremen, Germany, to Galveston, Texas, and subsequently removed to Washington County, where he soon enlisted for service during the Mexican war under the flag of the United States. He was soon taken ill and sent to a hospital at Houston, and after his honorable discharge and recovery returned to his native land where he was married to Miss Behren. Again coming to this country, he settled on his first property, and being a man 'of excellent education took up the vocations of teaching and farming. In 1864 he removed to Fayette County, where he continued his educational labors for many years and died in 1893. He had come to Texas during a time when many of its heroes of the Revolution were still living and among whom he formed a wide acquaintance, one of these being Gen. Sam Houston, whose opinions as to the Civil war Mr. Fricke shared. He was a republican in his political views, was an able and fluent speaker, and frequently was called upon to preside at meetings of various kinds in his community. His religious faith was that of the Lutheran Church, in which he was confirmed. Mrs. Fricke died March 12, 1880, having been the mother of the following children: George, the father of Ernest of this review; 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, who is president of the First State Bank of Round Top and a well-known business man; Regina, who died as Mrs. Charles Huth, at Austin; and Ida, who became the wife of Albert Real and lives near [Kerrville], Texas.

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.

Ernest Fricke received his educational training in the public schools of Round Top, under the preceptorship of the present county clerk of Fayette County, P. Klatt, who was then in charge of the schools here. He left his school books before he was eighteen years of age to begin to work on the'home farm, in addition to which he became skilled in handling live stock, in which he was engaged for a period of about two years. Just before he became twenty-one years of age he secured his first business experience as a clerk in the mercantile line for Alex von Rosenberg, of Round Top, at the same time being employed in the post-office here. In 1897 he was appointed postmaster under the McKinley administration, and this office he has continued to retain to the present time, having passed the civil service examination for the office, in 1914 and being reappointed as a result of that examination. Mr. Fricke went into business on his own account, August 1, 1898, with a grocery stock valued at $400. He was aided financially by an uncle for some years until he reached a point where he could go on alone, and for four years was a partner with Arthur Fricke, as Fricke & Fricke, but finally bought his partner's interest and since that time the establishment has been conducted under the business style of Ernest Fricke. In addition to being a general merchant, Mr. Fricke is engaged in buying cotton, poultry and country produce, .in which he also deals. He has always warmly accorded to Round Top the same stanch support which its people have given him as an honorable and successful merchant and eminently useful citizen. Mr. Fricke has always practiced temperance. It has always been his endeavor to bring to Round Top the best trade, whether it patronizes his establishment or not, and for this reason may be placed in the booster class. He is vice president and a member of the official board of the First State Bank of Round Top, of which he was one of the organizers in 1912. A stalwart republican in his political views, Mr. Fricke was a member of the state republican convention held at San Antonio in 1900, and has served Round Top as its mayor four years. His administration was made notable by a businesslike handling of the town's affairs and the innovation of a number of needed civic reforms. Fraternally, he is also well known, being consul commander of the Woodmen of the World and treasurer of the Sons of Hermann, which latter lodge he has represented in the Grand Lodge of Texas.

On November 1, 1899, Mr. Fricke was. married at Round Top to Miss Elizabeth Ginzel, a daughter of William Ginzel, an interesting figure of the locality and a business man of importance. Two children have been born to this union, namely: Mignon M. and Elmo Arthur. -- pp. 1570 -1572.

317 A biography, from http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfayett/biographies_k-m.htm#meyer:

CHARLES JOHN HENRY MEYER. One of the strongest business factors in the life of the little village of Ellinger in Fayette County has been Charles J. H. Meyer, a man of many sided activities, the owner of a splendid country property in addition to interests in the town, and a citizen who at different times has responded to the request of his fellows for service in local offices and in the legislature.

He belongs to the pioneer German element in Fayette County, and was born in this county November 5, 1854. The family was planted in Texas by his grandfather, Henry Meyer, who in 1844 brought his family from Hanover, Germany, and landed from a sailing vessel at Galveston. From that point they secured ox teams to carry the people and their possessions to Fayette County. Grandfather Meyer located two miles north of Ellinger, started to develop a home, and the acreage which he owned and partly put into cultivation descended to his son and to his grandson, Charles J. H. Grandfather Meyer was sawing lumber by hand with which to cover cracks in his log cabin when bit by a snake, and was found dead. He lies in the Lutheran Cemetery between Ellinger and Fayetteville, and his wife, who lived to be seventy-nine years of age, lies beside him. When the Meyer family came into Texas the country was absolutely new, and there were Indians who occasionally called at the old cabin and once took the scalp of a relative of the family, an uncle of Charles J. H. Meyer. Henry Meyer's children were: Dora, who married Charles Hillman and died in Fayette County, leaving children; Annie, who married John Heinshon [Heinsohn], and also left children; Mary, who left a daughter by her marriage to Albert Alerbush [Ellerbusch]; John H.; Frederick, who spent his life in Fayette County; and Richard, who went to California just before the Civil war and nothing is known of his subsequent fate.

John H. Meyer, father of the Ellinger business man, was born in Hanover and was fourteen years of age when he came to this country. He had only a country school education, hut was very apt as a business man, acquired business forms as he needed them, was expert in the handling of stock and crop productions. During a portion of the war he was overseer of a factory at LaGrange making hats for the Confederate soldiers, but subsequently was employed as a teamster carrying cotton and general merchandise in and out of Brownsville. Following the war came his settled activities as a farmer, and he raised crops over the site of the present town of Ellinger. He sold ninety acres to the railroad company for townsite purposes, and the depot was built not far from his house. He took an advanced stand in the breeding of blooded horses, and raised some of the best specimens of those animals in Fayette County. He was also widely known as a cattle drover. His market was at Houston, though it was his usual custom to sell his cattle off his ranch directly to the northern buyers. At his death he possessed 1,260 acres in the Colorado bottom, and it was one of the finest estates along that river. From the time Ellinger was founded he took a very active interest in its growth and development, and lived in the village until his death. He was always a democrat in politics, took much interest in the principles of the party, and was very strong in espousing the cause of his friends when they were candidates. Although not an orator he occasionally made talks on political and other subjects. Very seldom was he in court on business of his own and when such occasions did arise he defended his own cases. He had no fraternal affiliations, but this was due to the opposition of his wife to such orders. He was brought up in the faith of the Lutheran Church and gave liberally to the support of church and charitable causes in his community. John H. Meyer died March 20, 1893; he had been married nearly forty years. His wife was Miss Dora Alerbush [Ellerbusch], whose father, Albert Alerbush, came from Hanover, Germany, and settled in the Ellinger locality. Mrs. Meyer died in February, 1911. Her children were: Charles J. H.; Nancy, who married Jacob Koehl and died near Ellinger leaving children; Charles F., a farmer near Ellinger; John, who died just at his majority; D. Fritz, a ginner at Ellinger; Dora, wife of Charles Von Rosenberg of LaGrange; Annie, wife of F. W. Girndt of Ellinger; and Otta A., of Houston.

Charles H. J. Meyer grew up in the locality where he was born and still has a picture of the cabin which was his birthplace. This cabin contained a single room, and like most of the early homes had a dirt floor. It is still standing, being now used as a crib, and is owned by a Bohemian settler. As part of his education Mr. Meyer spent three years in the Texas Military Institute at Austin. He returned home in Jurie, 1874, was married in St. Paul, and started to provide for his home by strenuous labor. He was paid $6 an acre for breaking prairie and also used his ox team in hauling logs. He subsequently engaged in the stock business near Rosenberg in Colorado and Fort Bend counties, and spent about six years in that vicinity with considerable profit. In 1881 he bought the Charles Gisber saloon, after the proprietor had been run out by the wild element inhabiting the river country around Ellinger. He took possession at once, and there has never been an occasion when he has not been master of every situation. Though for a period of thirty-five years he has owned a saloon, he has let the other fellows do the drinking. He tended his own bar until the gradual increase of his stock and other interests made it necessary for him to spend most of his time outside. His chief business is as a stock farmer. He has fed many hundreds of cattle, driving them to the Houston market as his father had done, and now for more than thirty-five years has been well known in Fayette County as a feeder and shipper. He owns about 400 acres around Ellinger, and 226 acres adjoin the town. This land is used primarily for the feeding of his cattle. As a farmer he operates chiefly on leased land, and gives employment to about 27 white families, comprising nearly 200 people. Some of his renters have been with him more than twenty years, and include people who have married and become grandparents while living on his land.

When Mr. Meyer was a young man he signed a subscription for $100 toward the building of the railroad through Ellinger, and paid the obligation through his own labors. He has thus been identified with the town since the beginning, has dealt somewhat extensively in farm property and his is the best residence of the community. He is a director of the First State Bank of Ellinger. While formerly actively identified with politics he is now inclined to step aside in favor of younger men. In 1890 Precinct No. 1 elected him a county commissioner, and 'after two years in that office he was elected to the legislature and served one term. While in the House of Representatives he was a member of the committee on farming, stock raising and irrigation and several others. Much of his time he spent in watching the movements of other members and in exercising his vote against uncertain bills. He helped to make hog stealing a penitentiary offense, but had no pet measures of his own to advocate. On one occasion an attempt was made in the House to instruct Senator Mills as to his duty on a certain matter, but Mr. Meyer strongly resisted this resolution, since he believed that Roger Q. Mills was much superior to any man in the Texas Legislature and knew full well how to act and vote in the National Congress.

On October 27, 1874, Mr. Meyer married Miss Elizabeth Ellinger, daughter of Charles Ellinger. Their children are: Elo C., who is associated with his father in business, and by his marriage to Lizzie Konni has two children, Ivy and Leslie; Adelia married Frank Fritch of LaGrange, and their children are Henry and Lucile; Lizzie married Joe Fritch of Ellinger, and they have twins, Leroy and Littleton; Lillie Bell; Henry J., a physician at Hondo, Texas, a graduate of Tulane University, and by his marriage to Cassie Holloway has two children, John H. and Walter; Hattie is the wife of Walter Sarcin of Taylor, Texas, and has a daughter Ruby Bell; Leera is the youngest of the family.

Mr. Meyer is affiliated with the lodge of Independent Order of Odd Fellows at LaGrange, and also with the Knights of Honor and with the Sons of Hermann. Occasionally he takes a health recruiting trip, often visits the Dallas Fair, the Fort Worth stock shows, and is occasionally a member of a political convention. He is a man of large body, of genial nature, has hosts of friends in Fayette County, and in every relation of life has proved himself trustworthy and efficient. -- pp. 1878 -1880.

318 A biography, from: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfayett/biographies_e-j.htm#arthur_fricke

ARTHUR FRICKE, who is successfully engaged in the general merchandise business, as a cotton buyer and produce man at Carmine, is a worthy representative of the younger business element of Fayette County. To a very considerable extent it is this element in any locality, and particularly in those outside of the large cities, which infuses energy and progress into the activities of the place. The enthusiasm of this element, whose entrance upon the arena of business life dates back not much further than a decade, which contributes the spirit and zeal which keep commercial and industrial activities in a healthy condition. A pronounced type of this class of energetic workers is Mr. Fricke.

Arthur Fricke was born on his father's farm in Fayette County, near Round Top, April 1, 1884, and is a son of Fred Fricke, a sketch of whose career will be found on another page of this work. Arthur Fricke passed his boyhood and youth in the country, where his early education came from the country school, this being supplemented by a course in the commercial college at Brenham. Mr. Fricke's career was commenced in the field of education as a teacher in the district schools in Washington County and continued to be thus engaged for a period of three years, during which time he gained an excellent reputation as a capable and popular teacher. He then entered merchandise at Round Top in 1904 in partnership with Ernest Fricke, a cousin, the firm style being Fricke & Fricke. This existed until 1910, when the partnership was dissolved with the withdrawal of Arthur Fricke, who engaged next in the cotton business as a buyer for the exporting firm of the A. D. Milroy Company of Brenham and Galveston. After two years of experience secured in this line he again turned to mercantile pursuits, and in 1913 came to Carmine and bought the stock and good will of F. Eichler. Since that time the business has been conducted under the style of Arthur Fricke, general merchandise, cotton buyer and produce man. Under his capable and energetic management the business has grown and developed into one of the paying enterprises of the village and one which attracts its trade from the best class of people. The straightforwardness of his dealings is fully recognized by his fellow townsmen, and although his advent in Carmine is of but comparatively recent date, the patronage which he has already enjoyed presages a very successful future.

Mr. Fricke was married in Fayette County, Texas, October 11, 1908, to Miss Irene Vogelsang, a daughter of Paul and Emma (Kraus) Vogelsang. Mr. Vogelsang is a representative of an old and honored German family of Austin County and was born near Shelby, his father having been the founder of the family in the Lone Star state. Mrs. Fricke is the third in order of birth in a family of five children, and she and Mr. Fricke are the parents of one daughter, Evelyn, four years old. Mr. Fricke is a member of the Woodmen of the World. He owns the property where he does business, as well as his own home, one of the choice residences of Carmine. -- pp. 1580 -1581.

319 A biography, Howard County, Missouri Biographiies, part 1 (Chariton Township, part 1)

RECTOR BARTON, farmer and dealer in stock and tobacco, Glasgow. About eighteen years of Mr. BARTON's early life were devoted to mercantile pursuits. But in 1869 he located on farm where he now lives, and where he has charge of a place of 1,100 acres devoted to grain and stock raising. He was born in Linn county, Missouri, March 20, 1837. His father, Wharton R. BARTON, is an Ohioan by birth, having been born in that state in March, 1809. When he (the father) was a small boy his parents moved to Illinois, thence to St. Louis, and in that city he grew to manhood. In St. Louis he had the advantages offered by the schools of the city. Subsequently he came to this county, and in 1835 moved to Linn county, where he soon became one of the leading farmers and citizens of the county, as he was one of its first settlers. He was for a number of years sheriff, and, afterwards circuit clerk, and held various other positions of public trust.
Wharton R. BARTON has been twice married; first to Miss Jane, daughter of Edward WARREN, one of the early settlers of Howard county. She died in Linn county in November, 1849, leaving six children. His second wife was formerly Mrs. Elizabeth LOCKRIDGE of this county. Her family name, before her first marriage, was ROOKER. Mr. And Mrs. BARTON have six children living.
Rector BARTON, the subject of this sketch, was born of his father's first marriage, and when his mother died in 1849, he was but twelve years of age. In his boyhood days, however, he had attended school regularly, and, being of studious, industrious habits, acquired the elements of an education, so that he was qualified to begin as clerk in the mercantile business.
Accordingly, he came to Glasgow and obtained a position in a dry goods house, and continued clerking, with but one year's interval, until 1862, a period of thirteen years. The following year, then being twenty-six years of age, he began business on his own account, establishing a dry goods store in Roanoke, in which, however, he continued but one year. In 1864 he went to New York, and in 1865 engaged in the tobacco and dry goods business in Mason County, Kentucky, but in the fall of the same year returned to Roanoke, this county, and resumed the dry goods business there, in which he continued four years, and until 1869, when he located on the farm where he now lives.
On the 20th of May, 1860, he was married to Miss Sallie C. SAVAGE, who was born in Mason county, Kentucky, January 21, 1838. They have three children, Oswald S., Maggie M. and Jennie W. Mr. And Mrs. B. are members of the M. E. church south, and he is a member of Livingstone lodge No. 51, A. F. and A. M., and also the A.O.U.W.

321 A book was written about her by Caspar Morris in 1848 entitled A Memoir of Miss Margaret Mercer. He admired her in part because of her stand against slavery. Mercer, Margaret (I12428)
 
322 A brief biography of her can be found in Maryland's Way: the Hammond-Harwood House Cookbook, on page 282. In 1873, as "Mrs. Benjamin Chew Howard," she published a cookbook entitled Fifty Years in a Maryland Kitchen.

According to Maryland's Way, "Mrs. Howard was born in 1801, and died in the 90th year of her age. She was married in 1818 to Gen. Benjamin Chew Howard when she was but 17 years of age, and began to raise a family which numbered twelve children. In 1827 her husband inherited "Belvidere" from his father, John Eager Howard, and his accomplished wife became its hostess. Until 1842, when "Belvidere" was sold, Mrs. Howard received within its hospitable walls many of the leading public figures of teh country and fully maintained the high reputation which "Belvidere" had enjoyed for so long as one of the ‘foremost seats of elegant hospitality' in the country.

"Mrs. Howard undertook the effort of compiling her book and was persuaded to acknowlege it authorship ‘soley for the purpose of aiding certain benevolent undertakings.' During her long life she was actively engaged in charitable work, and in 1865 was made president of the Great Southern Relief Association which held a fair in Baltimore city at which nearly $200,000 was raised for the benefit of those who lost their all in the Civil War. She was identified with almost every charitable enterprise which the ladies of Baltimore undertook, and her life was one long career of good works.

"A friend wrote of her--'She possessed great earnestness of purpose, a strong and resolute mind, and unfailing energy. Her character was adorned with womanly tenderness, unaffected and simple courtesy, rare charm and uncommon beauty. She was a delightful conversationalist.'

"It is not to be wondered that Mrs. Howard was a universally beloved figure in her place and time, Baltimore of the 19th century, or that her warm and competent image ramins bright in the twentieth."

343 A few of her chiildren's documents record her birth in France, but this seems to confuse her with her husband. Most documents say Pennsylvania or Philadelphia, which given her last name seems more likely. Her maiden name appears on the death certificates for her children Frances Somerset and Caroline Blitz. I would guess from her last name, and from the fact that she's from Philadelphia in the late eighteenth century, that her ancestry is Scots-Irish, as an immense number of Scots-Irish arrived in the city, most notably in the early 1770s. This is just a guess, however; I have found nothing of her parents. There is an Ann Campbell who was born or baptized on 20 Nov. 1795 in Philadelphia at the Second Presbyterian Church; her parents were Nicholas and Ann Campbell. There are many Campbells in Philadelphia, however.

Here is a possible hint about her family from a history of gardening in Germantown:

“After the death of Bernard McMahon in 1816, the nursery was conducted by his widow, and before leaving Rising Sun, the last foreman with Samuel Maupay was Frederick Knapp, who came to Philadelphia from Germany. Associated with Knapp while at Maupay's was Joseph Campbell, who after opened a floral establishment upon Germantown Road in the near neighborhood.”

A "Zulma Villae" appears on the 1900 census, aged 53 (born Sept. 1846), as a cook in the household of Joseph Roy, but this seems not to be the same one since the birth date differs.

Name from birth records for children. For her second marriage, to Luke Irving, she is "Zulma Vila," not "Zulma Avril."

She is living as "Julie Avril" with her sister, and without her husband, on the 1880 census.
