WIERMAN FAMILY OF ADAMS COUNTY

William Wierman, one of the first settlers, and large land owner in what Adams county, was founder the Wienman family that county. As early as 1738 he was settled on Bermudian Creek, in Huntington township, near the present borough of York Springs (formerly Petersburg), for on June 9 of that year by a warrant (N o. 1141) from the Penn proprietors, he was granted a tract of 500 acres land on the Bermudian. A second warrant (No. 156) for 200 acres adjoining his other land was granted to him, June 25, 1739, and still another (No. 177) Dec. 20, 1742, for 300 acres ajoining the other tracts. A patent deed for of land, containing 1049 acres, was given to him June 18, 17502. On Oct.11, 1745, he received a warrant (No. 254) for a tract of 150 acres, probably in Menallen twp., for the land
is described as "on both sides of Possum Creek between the Lands of Thomas Long and Thomas Wilson to extend to Ruddock's Line." Another warrant for 60 acres, "to include the Improvements of John Portman in Redding [Reading] township," was granted to Wierman, June 21, 1748.3 Altogether William Wierman owned over 1200 acres of land in Adams County

According to a tradition in the family, William Wierman, a young German physician, went to Holland, where he married, and shortly afterward came' to Pennsylvania. He must have given up his profession, however, for in his will,4 dated 2 mo. 7, 1764, probated May 31, 1765, he is styled, "Blue Dier," (blue dyer5). The inventory of his personal estate, covering eleven pages of foolscap paper, shows that he was one-of the most substantial and well-to-do settlers on the west side of the Susquehanna. He had bonds, notes, a collection of over thirty books, a silverwatch, silver cups, silver spoons, and other silverware. William Weyerman was one of the four men of Huntingdon township mentioned in a "List of the most remarkable Inhabitants in the several town'ps & Settlements over Sasquehanna. . . fit to discharge Publick Offices," sent to the Provincial government at Philadelphia, in 17496.

The large Bible, mentioned in the inventory, was brought over by William Wierman from Holland. It is printed in Dutch and is still in a fair state of preservation. The title pages are profusely illustrated with the quaint woodcuts of the sixteenth century. There is nolthing in the book to indicate where it was pnblished, but in 1598, it was for sale on, the lower side of Schotland, near Danswick, presumably in Hoiland. The text at the bottom of the title page is as follows:

"Men bindste, te coop bv Kryn Vermeulen de janghe Cramer woonende op telege zydt van Schotlandt by Danswyck, 1598."

This may be translated thus:

" One finds this [This book is to be found] for sale' 'at the house of Kryn Vermeulen, the young pedlar or mercer, haberdasher], living ,on the lower side of
Schotland near Danswyck, 1598."

The old Bible descended to William C. Wierman, the fourth William, and is now in possession of his aged widow, Susan M. Wierman, daughter of Benjamin
Lundy, the pioneer in the anti-slavery movement. She lives with her son, Isaac P. Wierman. at Mt. Palatine, Putnam County, Illinois, and in a few years the
Bible will to go to her young grandson, William H. Wierman (son of Isaac P.) the fifth William and sixth in descent from William Wierman, the immigrant

William Wierman died in 1764 or 1765, surviving his wife, Gertrude Sateman or Sietman, by whom he had six children7:
I. Henry, b. 8 mo. 10, 1721, " at. 4 or 5 in the morning"; d. 2 mo. 28, 1802; m. Priscilla Pope and Elizabeth Ross.

Summers Family Cemetery (c. 1790) Off Deming Avenue and Lincolnia Road

In a private cemetery located between Barnum Lane and Demming Avenue on Lincolnia Road, are the graves of the family of John Summers, an original owner of a large tract covering the area now known as Lincolnia Hills. The burial ground is located outside the western Alexandria city limits by about two blocks.

The homestead of Summers was known as "Summer Grove." Summers was a son of John Summers of Middlesex County, by his first wife Elizabeth Thompson (d. c. 1702), the former testator leaving a will dated 8 JAN 1702/3 which named John as one of his four children. The son John was a man of very robust constitution, broad in the chest, powerful in limb, and about 5 feet 10 inches in height. He was too far advanced in years to take part in the Revolutionary war, but many of his descendants were in the army, some as officers, others in the ranks. Summers is credited with having built the first tobacco warehouse on Hunting Creek. Because of his age and length of residency in the Alexandria, John Summers (Sommers, Sumers, Symmers) was called many time to give deposition for land disputes.

Accounts can be found where John Summers described how he in 1715 moved from Dogue Neck to a spot near the present Christ Church; later in 1723, he moved to the "forest" near present-day Bailey's Crossroads, and much later in 1773 he moved further into the "forest" to his son's house. Little is found in regard to the wife of John Summers, but it is believed he married Seth, the widow of Henry Lucas who died in 1716.

Styled as John Summers of Prince William County, on 4 SEP 1731 he obtained a patent of 201 acres located in Holmes Run and Turkey Cocke Branch, adjacent to the lands of Gabriel Adams and Capt. Thomas Harrison/ Of this tract, Summers deeded on 19 FEB 1761, half to his younger son Francis (1732-1800) and half to his son Daniel.

By 1740, Summers had obtained an additional 359 acre tract located between Accotink and Holme's runs, and adjacent to lands of Messrs. Harrison and Pearson, William Harle, Madam Broadwater's Rolling Road, and Major John Fitzhugh. A newspaper announcement of Summer's death indicated that he had been born within 30 miles of this place in the state of Maryland and settled in the year 1715 in this county, where he has resided ever since.

The burying ground was reserved when William Walker conveyed an adjacent parcel on September 16, 1847, to Robert W. Henderson, mentioning the transaction was for the same conveyed to Walker by Owen Summers by deed of May 22, 1844, except 1.8th acre for the use and purpose of a burying ground.

HISTORICAL SKETCH

John Summers
Born 1687 Died 1790

It has been a difficult matter to procure much authentic information relating to the period in the history of Fairfax county between its first settlement and the date of its formation in 1742. The oldest resident of whom we have any record was Mr. John Summers, whose long life began in 1687 (just 220 years ago) and closed in 1790. He died at the old family homestead, "Summers Grove," near Ananndale, aged 103 years, and his tombstone can still be seen in the family burying ground at that place.

Some of his descendants, to whom we shall allude in future articles, were men of great distinction, and ability, who reflected honor upon their native county. The Summers family was of Flemish origin and was known in England at the time of the Reformation, when property was granted them a short distance from the city of Worcester. This became their family seat, and here they received and entertained Queen Elizabeth in 1585. The bed in which she slept and the cup from which she drank were preserved by them as precious relics for many generations and among its members were men of distinction and renown. Sir George Summers, Lord High Admiral, and Lord John Summers, Lord High Chancellor of England and Keeper of the Privy Seal to William III belonged to the family. The Summers family of Fairfax descended from Sir George Summers, who commanded the "Sea Venture," one of the vessels which brought over the Jamestown colony in 1607, and Col. Louis Summers commanded the first body of English soldiers sent over for the protection of the little body of settlers.

From a sketch written by Judge Lewis Summers, (a great grandson of John) between the years 1835 and 1840, we learn that John Summers, the son of an English Protestant family, was born in Maryland in 1687. He came to Virginia when quite a young man and built a cabin on the Potomac where the city of Alexandria now stands. The land was then vacant, appropriations by grant not having extended far from the bay and the mouths of the principal rivers. The country between the present site of Alexandria and the Blue Ridge was then the hunting ground of the Indians, abounding with deer, bear, wolves, &c., and wild turkeys and other game.

John Summers' early years were spent in hunting, but as immigrants began to flock in the usual struggles commenced between the settlers and the aborigines for the occupancy of the country, and Mr. Summers was an active leader and pioneer of the whites in the various campaigns undertaken for the removal of the Indians west of the Blue Ridge. When the country began to receive some population he married a Mrs. Blake, by whom he had five sons and five daughters.

As the culture of tobacco began to spread to this quarter of the colony he built and owned several tobacco houses. Hunting continued to be a favorite employment, and in his latter days took pleasure in regaling his friends with anecdotes of the chase and of his Indian campaigns and other incidents connected with his early life.
He seems to have been like Daniel Boone, regardless of the acquisition of land, thinking the taxes, quit-rents, &c., more burdensome than the land would be beneficial, which he illustrated by the refusal of a deed from the patentee for the land on which Alexandria now stands and on which he resided, in exchange for his favorite rifle. In after years he was much engaged by locators and surveyors in pointing out the best pieces of vacant lands and in conducting them through the forest districts with which he was familiar, and was at length prevailed upon by his friend, Capt. West, the surveyor of the county, to locate large tract for each of his sons, containing from four to six hundred acres, but no persuasion could induce him to cur the expense and trouble of securing land for his daughters.

The first concentration of the trade was at the Hunting Creek tobacco warehouse, at the head of the tide, where the old Colchester road crossed the creek. In 1748 an act was passed for laying off a town at Hunting Creek Warehouse, but the site now occupied by Alexandria being found more eligible, the town was located there and called Belle Haven. It was afterwards changed, in compliment to the family of Alexanders who owned the surrounding lands, to Alexandria, and the legislature recognized the name in 1762. John Summers lived to see Alexandria become a place of considerable commercial importance and frequently adverted to his cabin being the first building ever erected there, and that the first frame house ever put up on the place was prepared and framed on his land above the "Trough Hill," and hauled to the site which it was to occupy.

He was a man of very robust constitution, broad in the chest, powerful in limb, and about 5 feet 10 inches in height. He was too far advanced in years to take part in the Revolutionary war, but many of his descendants were in the army, some as officers, others in the ranks. He retained his faculties and strength in remarkable degree, and was appealed to on all questions of corners and boundaries of the early surveys. He exercised freely on foot until within about a year of his death when from a fall he dislocated his hip, and was afterwards confined to his bed, where the recital of the litany and the prayers of the church occupied his time when alone.

His last moments were calm and unclouded, and on the evening of his death he had supped as usual and was heard humming a Psalm and reciting the Evening Prayers. A few moments after it was discovered that his spirit had taken its flight to the bosom of his God.

In 1748 John Summers was recorded among the freeholders of Fairfax as voting for Major Laurence Washington and Col. Colville for the House of Burgesses. July 16, 1765, he and his five sons voted for George Washington and John West for the same office, and again at a general election December 1, 1768, the same gentlemen were voted for and the same number of the Summers family supported them. Within the last ten years of his life he was accustomed to walk six to eight miles in a day attended by a great grandson, Lewis Summers, afterwards a very distinguished judge, of whom we shall speak in a future article. His descendants intermarried with the Millans, Foxes, and other well-known families of the country.

Think of the great span of this man's life---from 1687 to 1790!-commencing at a time when Fairfax county was practically a wilderness, inhabited by Indians and wild animals, and closing many years after the Revolutionary war, for which Fairfax furnished the leader who became the first President of the great republic. The following notice of his death is from the 8th Volume of the American Museum, published in Philadelphia in 1790:

Died-Virginia, near Alexandria, Mr. John Summers, aged 103 years. He had left descendants of four generations, amounting to four hundred. There is in Omaha, Neb. a clock which was once the property of John Summers. It is more than 200 years old and is still doing faithful duty. It has descended to the oldest son of each succeeding generation and is now in the possession of Dr. John Edward Summers, Jr., professor of Surgery in the State University of Nebraska, who, of course, prizes it very highly.

When the county of Loudoun was settled, Francis, a brother of John and about twenty years younger, moved to that county, and married a Mrs. Lane, by whom he had one son and one daughter. The son entered the Revolutionary army and left it at the end of the war a Lieut. Colonel. Col. Summers, of Loudoun, was highly respected and frequently represented his county in the legislature. Smith, the first historian of Virginia spells the name of the same individual, Somers, Sommers, and Summers in different parts of his work. Among the papers of Mr. John Summers his name was found spelled in those three different ways, and many of his descendants use the "o" instead of the "u," but the grants issued to him for land contained his name as most generally spelled by his descendants-Summers.

Lincolnia Hills Roundup
By Nancy Floyd

It's no news to the homeowner behind his bucking lawnmower that LH has roots. But perhaps not everyone knows we have the kind of roots Jim McEvoy of Chambliss recently uncovered.

Curious about the new homes being built off Lincolnia Road between Chambliss and Barnum and having read a book on our area's history, "Beginning at White Oak," Jim went exploring and discovered a small, vine-entangled cemetery up there.
Buried in this cemetery is John Summers who, according to Jim's research, was the original owner of all the land that is now Lincolnia Hills. Jim found maps showing John Summers also owned the surrounding area including Indian Run and Holmes Run in partnership with George Harrison.

Bulldozers recently cleared the area around the little gray house on Lincolnia Road and next to the cemetery. The boundary markers are visible from Morgan Street in the backyards of homes on the south side. The new development is "Ashley," a community of ten homes, built by C. Kirk Reilly and Associates and is advertised as "elegant new 4 bedroom homes on large homesites in a wooded cul-de-sac." They start at $120,000.

Jim, who's a librarian at the Library of Congress, says he's not a cemetery freak, but he was concerned about whether the company would tear down the cemetery. It appears it won't, but just in case, Jim took a picture of John Summer's headstone which says he "departed this life the 4th of December, 1790, at age 102."

John Summers was a well known figure in those days, according to a "List of Northern Neck Grants" at the county library. The records of Fairfax County include many depositions made by John Summers (Sommers, Symmers) in land disputes which were decided by the court. He told the court that in old times he used to be a good deal with the surveyors and attended many surveys in the neighborhood of Hunting Creek. When he was ninety-eight he was still giving depositions. When he was ninety-two he told how he moved from Dogue Neck to a spot near present Christ Church in 1715.

The book states:

"In 1723 John Summers moved to the 'forest' near present-day Bailey's Crossroads and in 1773 he moved further into the 'forest' to his son's house. Summers died in 1790, aged 102, and is buried at the corner of Beauregard and Burnum off Route 236. In 1716 he was a tenant to John West, as was Gabriel Adams, and he stated that their houses and two tobacco houses were the only houses on one hundred acres of land which was later part of Alexandria."

In addition to John Summers, his wife Jane who died in 1814 at the age of 79, and numerous family members, the following early settlers' monuments are there: Thomas Cowling, Jan. 1797-April 1864; his wife Mary C., March 1796-August 1877; Stephen G. Cowling, August 18-June 1911; his wife Jane, 1887, and Edward W. Crump, 1819-1900.

On the monument to the Duty family are the names of several children: Charles 1894-1895; John, 1898-1900; Ira, 1902-1902; Jannet F., 1906-1906; Emory, 187-1888; and Blanche, 1889-90. The parents were Charles, 1860-1934 and Ida, 1863-1918. Jim says he read that there was a small pox epidemic about that time.

"Beginning at White Oak" is available in the lobby of the Massey Branch of the Fairfax County library for $5.00. The number to call is 691-2974.

The Summers family is said to be of Flemish origin, SUMMERS and to have been first known in England at the time of the Reformation. Property was granted to them at a former religious seat a short distance from Worcester, and this became the family seat. Here they resided and here they entertained Queen Elizabeth in her progress through Worcestershire in 1585. Many of the members of this family became men of distinction and renown. One branch of the family moved into Dorsetshire, England, and it is from this branch that the Virginian family is descended. The name is variously spelled Somers, Sommers, Sumers and Summers, but the Virginians of this stock have in general used the form Summers. As is well known, the tracing of ancestries in Virginian families is attended with much difficulty and many dangers of error, so that the results are often incomplete or uncertain, if not both. In the present case there is much more material for judgment than in many, and the following account is based on good evidence and confidently believed to be correct from the time of the settlement of the family in Virginia, which cannot have been greatly posterior of the coming of the family to America.

(I) John Summers, the first member of this family about whom we have definite information, was born in Maryland, in 1687, died near Alexandria, Virginia, December 4, 1791. Coming early into Virginia he settled on the Potomac, where the city of Alexandria now is, and his cabin was the first building erected on the site of this city. The first framed house ever put up at this place was prepared under his direction and on his land, being afterward hauled therefrom to its intended site. The country abounded at that time in deer, bears, wolves, wild turkeys and other animals, and his earlier years were largely passed in hunting. He became an active leader of the white settlers and a pioneer in the campaigns against the Indians west of the Blue Ridge. Hunting, however, was still a favorite employment. So little did he care about the acquisition of land that he refused a deed from the patentee for the land on which Alexandria has been built and on which he lived in exchange for a rifle. In his later years he was much engaged in pointing out the best vacant lands and in conducting surveyors and others through the forests. At last he did acquire from four hundred to six hundred acres of land for each of his sons, but he did not do this for his daughters. He lived to see Alexandria become a place of some importance. The home, on the Little river turnpike, about four miles west of that city, which he bequeathed to his son Francis was long known as one of the finest estates in Fairfax county. At the time of the revolution John Summers was too old to take a part. He was a man of robust constitution, broad of chest and powerful, and retained his faculties to a remarkable degree, although he lived to be more than one hundred years old, but about a year before his death he was disabled by a severe fall. He was a member of the Church of England. The name of his wife is not known, but among his children the youngest son was Francis, of whom further.

(II) Francis, son of John Summers, was born in Fairfax county, Virginia, March 3, 1732, died at "Summers Grove," October 14, 1800. "Summers Grove" is the estate which he had inherited from his father, four miles west of Alexandria. His life was the quiet and uneventful life of a Virginia planter. For many years he held the office of magistrate. Being, like his father, a member of the Church of England or Protestant Episcopal church, he was a vestryman of Christ Church, Alexandria. He married Jane (Watkins) Charlton, born in 1735, died August 22, 1814. Children, so far as known to us: George, born October 5, 1758, died January 10, 1818, married, in 1776, Ann Smith Radcliffe; Thomas, of whom further; Francis; Samuel. All these sons settled in the Kanawha valley in 1810; George, accompanied by his daughter Jane, made an exploration of the Kanawha valley and of the Ohio valley between Wheeling and Guyandotte, and settled three years afterward at Walnut Grove, Kanawha county, Virginia, to which he brought his family in the winter of 1813-14. From him has come a prominent family of West Virginia.

(III) Thomas, son of Francis and Jane (Watkins-Charlton) Summers, came from Fairfax county, Virginia, and settled on the Kanawha river, in Mason county, Virginia, one mile above Winfield; according to the best information his settlement was made about 1816. He was a farmer. He married Hooper. Child, George W., of whom further.

(IV) George W., son of Thomas and (Hooper) Summers,

was born, probably in Fairfax county, Virginia, January 17, 1812. He was a farmer, and about 1838 became a member of the state militia. He was a Democrat and a Methodist. He married, January 29, 1835, Sarah A., born in Cabell county, Virginia, May 12, 1813, daughter of Adam and Elizabeth (Cockburn) Black. Children: 1. Quintilian L., born March 12, 1836, died September 28, 1842. 2. Sylvester Adams, born January 23, 1838, died May 8, 1912; a Confederate soldier. 3. John William, born May 15, 1840. 4. Constantine Ruf us, born October 9, 1842; Confederate soldier. 5. Edgar Lewis, born October 29, 1844. 6. Thomas Bascom, born March 11, 1847. 7. Tyra Campbell, born November 6, 1849. 8. Matthew James, of whom further.

(V) Matthew James, son of George W. and Sarah A. (Black) Summers, was born in Cabell county, Virginia, June 9, 1852. His home is now at Huntington, West Virginia, and he is a baggage master on the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad. Mr. Summers is a Democrat and a Methodist. He married, February 24, 1875, Elizabeth Handley, born June 6, 1855, daughter of Warren P. and (Handley) Rece. Children: 1. Gertrude Medora, born January 1, 1876. 2. Frederick Lindley, of whom further. 3. Olive June, born November 11, 1879. 4. Lewis Rece, born May 31, 1882, died December 5, 1883. 5. Florence Buffington, born June 6, 1885. 6. Harry Lee, born September 26, 1887. 7. Robert Pritchard, born November 1, 1889. 8. Herbert Sidney, born November 21, 1893.

(VI) Frederick Lindley, son of Matthew James and Elizabeth Handley (Rece) Summers, was born in Cabell county, West Virginia, near Milton, December 26, 1877. His education was received at Huntington, West Virginia; there he attended the public schools, including the high school, and he pursued also a business course at Marshall Business College in the same city. December 19, 1899, he became a stenographer at Parkersburg, West Virginia, for the Ohio River railroad, in the maintenance of way department, and in this position he remained until October 1, 1903. From that date to the first of May in the following year he was assistant cashier at Parkersburg for Armour & Company, Then he was general bookkeeper for the General Distributing Company, of Clarksburg, West Virginia, until August 15, 1906. He was secretary of the Penn Table Company, at Huntington, West Virginia, from August 15, 1906, to February 1, 1911. Since that date to the present time he has been a partner in the firm of Logan & Summers, insurance agents at Parkersburg. In this city also Mr. Summers now makes his home. He is a member of the United Commercial Travelers, Council No. 35, at Parkersburg. In Masonry he is a master mason, member of Mount Olivet Lodge, No. 3, of Parkersburg; a Royal Arch Mason, being a member of Adoniram Chapter, No. 11, at Clarksburg; a member of Huntington Commandery, No. 9, Knights Templar, at Huntington; and of Beni Kedem Shrine, Ancient Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, at Charleston. He is also a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Lodge No. 198, of Parkersburg. Mr. Summers is a Democrat. He and his family are members of the Baptist church.

He married, at Parkersburg, October 26, 1904, Donna, daughter of John A. and Mary E. (Cochran) Hutchinson, who was born at Parkersburg, February 26, 1879. Her father was a lawyer of this city. Children: Frederick Lindley, born at Clarksburg, July 23, 1905; Mary Elizabeth, born at Huntington, August 1, 1909.

"Fairfax County Stories: 1607-2007." The History of Lincolnia by Mary Margaret Lewis Pence. Quoted text follows...

Prior to the Civil War, as early as 1853, Lincolnia, Virginia was called Mount Pierce. Later is was called Lebanon. In 1870, the name Lincoln was proposed by Levi Deming to honor President Abraham Lincoln. Finally the name Lincolnia stuck.

In 1740, John Summers and George Harrison obtained a grant from Lord Fairfax for land located in this area, then in Prince William County. In 1750, John Summers built a house there, later called the Cottage Farm, which is west of the Lincolnia Post Office between Barnum Lane and Deming Avenue. All that remains there today is the Summers Cemetery. Elisha Cullen Dick, George Washington's doctor, bought this property in 1814. It has been said that while Dr. Dick lived there, Lafayette visited Cottage Farm. General Winfield Scott Hancock had headquarters at Cottage Farm with General Merritt.

Notes for JOHN Summers:
Sometime after his father's death John came to the Northern Neck area of VA- 5 miles W. of Alexandria. He often referred to the fact that his cabin was the first building ever erected on the site of the town. According to the will of John West dated 16 Nov 1716, John Summers was a tenant on his land. John worked as a surveyor. In his later years he often testified in land disputes. Although alleged to have stated that "land was too plentiful to buy it", he had land " 7 July 1739/4 Sept 1739 359 acres in Prince William Co to John Summer, between Accotink & Holmes Run". Also in 1739 he and George Harrison patented 846 acres on Holmes Run. In 1748 the land was divided between them, each receiving 423 acres (Fairfax Co deed book B1 p g 373). John was founder of Old Pohick Church, which later became Truro Parish in 1732. He is believed to have had 5 sons and 6 daughters. Fairfax County was part of Prince William County until 1742. Records were destroyed during the Civil War, as the Battle of Bull Run was nearby , and John's home was alleged headquarters of General Hancock. There was no will at Fairfax County- he had provided a large tract of land for each of his sons containing from 400 to 600 acres. We have no proof of any of his wives names except that he married Henry Lucas's widow the winter of 1717 (his own words in a deposition about disputed land) and Seith Lucas was mentioned in John West's will of 1716. Then, in 1723, Seith Lucas and her 2nd husband, John summers, were given a lease for life from Thomas Harrison for either of them or their son JOHN. This could indicate a relationship, and is where I got Seith's parentage. Fairfax Co has an informal record of his marriage to Elizabeth Blake. The Prince William Co Minute Books has an Administration of the estate of John Farrow, deceased, granted to John Summers and Elizabeth his wife, 25 March 1754 (Order Book 1754-5)- I cannot place John Farrow unless this was Elizabeth Blake, and John was her 1st husband. The LDS church has a pedigree showing John with 2 wives- Seth (Sythia) Harrison (as mother of his son John, and daughter of Thomas Harrison and Seith Short), and #2 Mary West (as mother of the rest of his children). I have been unable to verify the source of this statement, but search of both the Harrison and West families fails to yield a similar marriage. I have a picture of John's gravestone. He is buried in "Summers Cemetery" behind a shopping center in Alexandria VA- the corner of Beauregarde and Barnham Lane off Hwy 236. This was apparently the site of "Summer Grove" 200 years ago .

Seth born about 1690/1700 in Stafford Co. VA and died in 1723. This marriage is per LDS, to date I have found nothing to Substantiate.(source for above is Ronda Berry)

Do you have anything but IGI saying John Summers was married to Mary West? I saw that in LDS files, and wrote to the lady who submitted it, but she had died and her husband knew nothing. Regardless of John's wives, I have our John as son of John and Seith widow of Henry Lucas . John married the widow of Henry Lucas the winter of 1717 (his own words in a land deposition), then in 1723 Seith Lucas and her 2nd husband John Summers were given a lease for life from Thomas Harrison for either of them or their son JOHN (land records). I have listed all children with Seith, and a later marriage to Elizabeth Blake, though I have no proof for that.

7181 Araminta Ruth Parsons

Araminta Ruth Parsons, daughter of Edward and Elizabeth Wollam, was born three miles east of Mt. Sterling, Iowa, Nov. 1, 1855, and passed away at her home north of Mt. Sterling, Jan. 15, 1926, having reached the age of 80 years, 2 months and 14 days. In August, 1875, she was married to William H. Parsons. To this union 6 children were born. She was preceded in death by her husband and four children, Mrs. Mae Hervey, Frank Parsons and two children dying in infancy.

She is survived by one son, J.L. Parsons, of Mt. Sterling; one daughter, Mrs. J.A. Smith, of Cantril; eight grandchildren; four great grandchildren and three b(r)others, Frank Woolam, of Mt. Sterling; Clark, of Stockville, Nebr.; and Joe, of Reno, Nevada; and numerous other relatives.

She united with the Christian church at Mt. Sterling under the ministry of Dan Hastings, her membership being continuous with the Mt. Sterling church. She was a consistent Christian wife and mother, often sacrificing beyond her strength for the ones she loved. Her beautiful Christian character will be cherished by the ones she has left, and will linger in their memory as a sweet incense. The world is truly better by her having passed this way.

The funeral was held at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon at the Mt. Sterling Methodist church, the Rev. A.M. Hadley, of the Cantril Christian church officiating. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Wolf sang at the services. The pallbearers were E.L. Kerr, A.A. Drummond, Floyd Madden, Curt Wolfe, J.R. Hornbaker, and Russell Heald.

Married to Carl Roman Sept, 2, 1950.After a honeymoon trip to Niagara Falls, NY,we left Jermyn, Pa. for Dunellen,NJ living with my Aunt Esther for two months and giving us time to locate an apartment in North Plainfield, NJ. Our first son Carl Allen was born June 10, 1953.When Carl Allen was eighteen months oldI decided to seek employment.My mother and Aunt Esther were driving one Sunday afternoon and stopped at a model home in Piscataway,NJMom said to Esther that this would be a nice home for Audrey and Carl.All I can say is that I fell in love with this model home;cathedral ceilings in the living room, dining room and kitchen, with three bedrooms. I remember saying to Carl that if we bought this house I would never ask for anything else...( Boy, was that an untrue statement ). We were able to move into our first and only home on Nov.5,1954.Since then we made numerous improvements.
We have two other sons Dale, born April 18th 1957, and Douglas, born June 19th, 1962.Our sons are in the computer field. They were always available if and when their Dad needed help around our home. The boys kept in touch or ask for advice with fixing their cars, or any problems, etc.,knowing that we would be there for them and their families.I have been involved in church work, teaching a Sunday class for children, a church historian, preparing annual reports for the general church, and for several years a womens' leader for my church.As of the present time I am still involved in my R.L.D.S. church.
Carl and I enjoy traveling our United States. With our van we have visited Arizona, California, Utah, Colorado, Carolinas, and Florida at our leisure time enjoying the beauty of our great country. 		Roman, Carl John (I31227)

Having much of his father's aptness for public business, he served the town in various trusts, especially in that of collector. His name as assessor stands in Montgomery's charter, 1731, and he signs the Mill Camp grant in 1738. At this date Jochem and Jacob Gardenier appear to occupy his farm.

7351 Born in June 1239 at Westminster, Edward was named by his father Henry III after the last Anglo Saxon king (and his father's favourite saint), Edward the Confessor.

Edward's parents were renowned for their patronage of the arts (his mother, Eleanor of Provence, encouraged Henry III to spend money on the arts, which included the rebuilding of Westminster Abbey and a still-extant magnificent shrine to house the body of Edward the Confessor). As a result, Edward received a disciplined education - reading and writing in Latin and French, with training in the arts, sciences and music.

In 1254, Edward travelled to Spain for an arranged marriage at the age of 15 to 9-year-old Eleanor of Castile. Just before Edward's marriage, Henry III gave him the duchy of Gascony, one of the few remnants of the once vast French possessions of the English Angevin kings.

Gascony was part of a package which included parts of Ireland, the Channel Islands and the King's lands in Wales to provide an income for Edward. Edward then spent a year in Gascony, studying its administration.

Edward spent his young adulthood learning harsh lessons from Henry III's failures as a king, culminating in a civil war in which he fought to defend his father. Henry's ill-judged and expensive intervention in Sicilian affairs (lured by the Pope's offer of the Sicilian crown to Henry's second son, Edmund) failed, and aroused the anger of powerful barons including Henry's brother-in-law Simon de Montfort.

Bankrupt and threatened with excommunication, Henry was forced to agree to the Provisions of Oxford in 1258, under which his debts were paid in exchange for substantial reforms; a Great Council of 24, partly nominated by the barons, assumed the functions of the King's Council.

Henry repudiated the Provisions in 1261 and sought the help of the French king Louis IX (later known as St Louis for his piety and other qualities). This was the only time Edward was tempted to side with his charismatic and politically ruthless godfather Simon de Montfort - he supported holding a Parliament in his father's absence.

However, by the time Louis IX decided to side with Henry in the dispute and civil war broke out in England in 1263, Edward had returned to his father's side and became de Montfort's greatest enemy.

After winning the battle of Lewes in 1264 (after which Edward became a hostage to ensure his father abided by the terms of the peace), de Montfort summoned the Great Parliament in 1265 - this was the first time cities and burghs sent representatives to the parliament. (Historians differ as to whether de Montfort was an enlightened liberal reformer or an unscrupulous opportunist using any means to advance himself.)

In May 1265, Edward escaped from tight supervision whilst hunting. On 4 August, Edward and his allies outmanoeuvred de Montfort in a savage battle at Evesham; de Montfort predicted his own defeat and death 'let us commend our souls to God, because our bodies are theirs ... they are approaching wisely, they learned this from me.'

With the end of the civil war, Edward worked hard at social and political reconciliation between his father and the rebels, and by 1267 the realm had been pacified.

In April 1270 Parliament agreed an unprecedented levy of one-twentieth of every citizen's goods and possessions to finance Edward's Crusade to the Holy Lands. Edward left England in August 1270 to join the highly respected French king Louis IX on Crusade.

At a time when popes were using the crusading ideal to further their own political ends in Italy and elsewhere, Edward and King Louis were the last crusaders in the medieval tradition of aiming to recover the Holy Lands.

Louis died of the plague in Tunis before Edward's arrival, and the French forces were bought off from pursuing their campaign. Edward decided to continue regardless: 'by the blood of God, though all my fellow soldiers and countrymen desert me, I will enter Acre ... and I will keep my word and my oath to the death'.

Edward arrived in Acre in May 1271 with 1,000 knights; his crusade was to prove an anticlimax. Edward's small force limited him to the relief of Acre and a handful of raids, and divisions amongst the international force of Christian Crusaders led to Edward's compromise truce with the Baibars.

In June 1272, Edward survived a murder attempt by an Assassin (an order of Shi'ite Muslims) and left for Sicily later in the year. He was never to return on crusade.

Meanwhile, Henry III died on 16 November 1272. Edward succeeded to the throne without opposition - given his track record in military ability and his proven determination to give peace to the country, enhanced by his magnified exploits on crusade.

In Edward's absence, a proclamation in his name delcared that he had succeeded by hereditary right, and the barons swore allegeiance to him. Edward finally arrived in London in August 1274 and was crowned at Westminster Abbey. Aged 35, he was a veteran warrior ('the best lance in all the world', according to contemporaries), a leader with energy and vision, and with a formidable temper.

Edward was determined to enforce English kings' claims to primacy in the British Isles. The first part of his reign was dominated by Wales. At that time, Wales consisted of a number of disunited small Welsh princedoms; the South Welsh princes were in uneasy alliance with the Marcher lords (feudal earldoms and baronies set up by the Norman kings to protect the English border against Welsh raids) against the Northern Welsh based in the rocky wilds of Gwynedd, under the strong leadership of Llywelyn ap Gruffyd, Prince of Gwynedd.

In 1247, under the Treaty of Woodstock, Llywelyn had agreed that he held North Wales in fee to the English king. By 1272, Llywelyn had taken advantage of the English civil wars to consolidate his position, and the Peace of Montgomery (1267) had confirmed his title as Prince of Wales and recognised his conquests.

However, Llywelyn maintained that the rights of his principality were 'entirely separate from the rights' of England; he did not attend Edward's coronation and refused to do homage. Finally, in 1277 Edward decided to fight Llywelyn 'as a rebel and disturber of the peace', and quickly defeated him. War broke out again in 1282 when Llywelyn joined his brother David in rebellion.

Edward's determination, military experience and skilful use of ships brought from England for deployment along the North Welsh coast, drove Llywelyn back into the mountains of North Wales. The death of Llywelyn in a chance battle in 1282 and the subsequent execution of his brother David effectively ended attempts at Welsh independence.

Under the Statute of Wales of 1284, Wales was brought into the English legal framework and the shire system was extended. In the same year, a son was born in Wales to Edward and Queen Eleanor (also named Edward, this future king was proclaimed the first English Prince of Wales in 1301).

The Welsh campaign had produced one of the largest armies ever assembled by an English king - some 15,000 infantry (including 9,000 Welsh and a Gascon contingent); the army was a formidable combination of heavy Anglo-Norman cavalry and Welsh archers, whose longbow skills laid the foundations of later military victories in France such as that at Agincourt.

As symbols of his military strength and political authority, Edward spent some £80,000 on a network of castles and lesser strongholds in North Wales, employing a work-force of up to 3,500 men drawn from all over England. (Some castles, such as Conway and Caernarvon, remain in their ruined layouts today, as examples of fortresses integrated with fortified towns.)

Edward's campaign in Wales was based on his determination to ensure peace and extend royal authority, and it had broad support in England. Edward saw the need to widen support among lesser landowners and the merchants and traders of the towns. The campaigns in Wales, France and Scotland left Edward deeply in debt, and the taxation required to meet those debts meant enrolling national support for his policies.

To raise money, Edward summoned Parliament - up to 1286 he summoned Parliaments twice a year. (The word 'Parliament' came from the 'parley' or talks which the King had with larger groups of advisers.) In 1295, when money was needed to wage war against Philip of France (who had confiscated the duchy of Gascony), Edward summoned the most comprehensive assembly ever summoned in England.

This became known as the Model Parliament, for it represented various estates: barons, clergy, and knights and townspeople. By the end of Edward's reign, Parliament usually contained representatives of all these estates.

Edward used his royal authority to establish the rights of the Crown at the expense of traditional feudal privileges, to promote the uniform administration of justice, to raise income to meet the costs of war and government, and to codify the legal system.

In doing so, his methods emphasised the role of Parliament and the common law. With the able help of his Chancellor, Robert Burnell, Bishop of Bath and Wells, Edward introduced much new legislation.

He began by commissioning a thorough survey of local government (with the results entered into documents known as the Hundred Rolls), which not only defined royal rights and possessions but also revealed administrative abuses.

The First Statute of Westminster (1275) codified 51 existing laws - many originating from Magna Carta - covering areas ranging from extortion by royal officers, lawyers and bailiffs, methods of procedure in civil and criminal cases to freedom of elections.

Edward's first Parliament also enacted legislation on wool, England's most important export at the time. At the request of the merchants, Edward was given a customs grant on wool and hides which amounted to nearly £10,000 a year. Edward also obtained income from the licence fees imposed by the Statute of Mortmain (1279), under which gifts of land to the Church (often made to evade death duties) had to have a royal licence.

The Statutes of Gloucester (1278) and Quo Warranto (1290) attempted to define and regulate feudal jurisdictions, which were an obstacle to royal authority and to a uniform system of justice for all; the Statute of Winchester (1285) codified the policing system for preserving public order.

Other statutes had a long-term effect on land law and on the feudal framework in England. The Second Statute of Westminster (1285) restricted the alienation of land and kept entailed estates within families: tenants were only tenants for life and not able to sell the property to others. The Third Statute of Westminster or Quia Emptores (1290) stopped subinfeudation (in which tenants of land belonging to the King or to barons subcontracted their properties and related feudal services).

Edward's assertion that the King of Scotland owed feudal allegiance to him, and the embittered Anglo-Scottish relations leading to war which followed, were to overshadow the rest of Edward's reign in what was to become known as the 'Great Cause'.

Under a treaty of 1174, William the Lion of Scotland had become the vassal to Henry II, but in 1189 Richard I had absolved William from his allegiance. Intermarriage between the English and Scottish royal houses promoted peace between the two countries until the premature death of Alexander III in 1286.

In 1290, his granddaughter and heiress, Margaret the 'Maid of Norway' (daughter of the King of Norway, she was pledged to be married to Edward's then only surviving son, Edward of Caernarvon), also died.

For Edward, this dynastic blow was made worse by the death in the same year of his much-loved wife Eleanor (her body was ceremonially carried from Lincoln to Westminster for burial, and a memorial cross erected at every one of the twelve resting places, including what became known as Charing Cross in London).

In the absence of an obvious heir to the Scottish throne, the disunited Scottish magnates invited Edward to determine the dispute. In order to gain acceptance of his authority in reaching a verdict, Edward sought and obtained recognition from the rival claimants that he had the 'sovereign lordship of Scotland and the right to determine our several pretensions'.

In November 1292, Edward and his 104 assessors gave the whole kingdom to John Balliol or Baliol as the claimant closest to the royal line; Balliol duly swore loyalty to Edward and was crowned at Scone.

John Balliol's position proved difficult. Edward insisted that Scotland was not independent and he, as sovereign lord, had the right to hear in England appeals against Balliol's judgements in Scotland.

In 1294, Balliol lost authority amongst Scottish magnates by going to Westminster after receiving a summons from Edward; the magnates decided to seek allies in France and concluded the 'Auld Alliance' with France (then at war with England over the duchy of Gascony) - an alliance which was to influence Scottish history for the next 300 years.

In March 1296, having failed to negotiate a settlement, the English led by Edward sacked the city of Berwick near the River Tweed. Balliol formally renounced his homage to Edward in April 1296, speaking of 'grievous and intolerable injuries ... for instance by summoning us outside our realm ... as your own whim dictated ... and so ... we renounce the fealty and homage which we have done to you'.

Pausing to design and start the rebuilding of Berwick as the financial capital of the country, Edward's forces overran remaining Scottish resistance. Scots leaders were taken hostage, and Edinburgh Castle, amongst others, was seized. Balliol surrendered his realm and spent the rest of his life in exile in England and Normandy.

Having humiliated Balliol, Edward's insensitive policies in Scotland continued: he appointed a trio of Englishmen to run the country. Edward had the Stone of Scone - also known as the Stone of Destiny - on which Scottish sovereigns had been crowned removed to London and subsequently placed in the Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey (where it remained until it was returned to Scotland in 1996). Edward never built stone castles on strategic sites in Scotland, as he had done so successfully in Wales - possibly because he did not have the funds for another ambitious castle-building programme.

By 1297, Edward was facing the biggest crisis in his reign, and his commitments outweighed his resources. Chronic debts were being incurred by wars against France, in Flanders, Gascony and Wales as well as Scotland; the clergy were refusing to pay their share of the costs, with the Archbishop of Canterbury threatening excommunication; Parliament was reluctant to contribute to Edward's expensive and unsuccessful military policies; the Earls of Hereford and Norfolk refused to serve in Gascony, and the barons presented a formal statement of their grievances.

In the end, Edward was forced to reconfirm the Charters (including Magna Carta) to obtain the money he required; the Archbishop was eventually suspended in 1306 by the new Gascon Pope Clement V; a truce was declared with France in 1297, followed by a peace treaty in 1303 under which the French king restored the duchy of Gascony to Edward.

In Scotland, Edward pursued a series of campaigns from 1298 onwards. William Wallace had risen in Balliol's name and recovered most of Scotland, before being defeated by Edward at the battle of Falkirk in 1298. Wallace escaped, only to be captured in 1305, allegedly by the treachery of a fellow Scot and taken to London, where he was executed.

In 1304, Edward summoned a full Parliament (which elected Scottish representatives also attended), in which arrangements for the settlement of Scotland were made. The new government in Scotland featured a Council, which included Robert the Bruce. Bruce unexpectedly rebelled in 1306 by killing a fellow counsellor and was crowned king of Scotland at Scone. Despite his failing health, Edward was carried north to pursue another campaign, but he died en route at Burgh on Sands on 7 July 1307 aged 68, succeeded by his son, Edward II.

According to chroniclers, Edward requested that his bones should be carried on Scottish campaigns and that his heart be taken to the Holy Land. However, Edward was buried at Westminster Abbey in a plain black marble tomb, which in later years was painted with the words Scottorum malleus (Hammer of the Scots) and Pactum serva (Keep troth).

Throughout the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the Exchequer paid to keep candles burning 'round the body of the Lord Edward, formerly King of England, of famous memory'.

On April 10, 1911, Caroline A. Stoner died at Mancelona, age 86-5-10, of acute bronchitis. Born Ohio, daughter of James Gilkinson and Nancy Coffinburg.

__________________________________________________________________

Microfile of Mancelona Herald, of 4-13-1911, Mancelona library

Mrs. Caroline Stoner died Monday morning, April 10, at the residence of Joseph Burkholder, 3 miles north of town, and although she had reached the advanced age of 86 years, 5 months and 10 days, death was somewhat of a surprise to her children, her illness being very brief.

Mrs. Stoner's maiden name was Caroline Ann Gilkison and she was born in Mansfield, Ohio, in 1824. When 18 years of age she came with her parents to Centerville, Mich., where she was married to John Putman, who died two years later. She then went to Gloversville, N.Y., where in 1849 she was married to John Stoner.

She went with him to Lagrange County, Ind., where they lived until his death in 1863, which resulted from illness incurred in the civil war. She had one child by her first husband, which died in infancy.

Four children were born to her second marriage, three of whom are living, Mesdames Joseph Burkholder and T. E. Niles of Mancelona, and James C. Stoner, former of this place, but now of Orange,California. Mrs. Lucia Hervey, another daughter, died in California some 23 years ago.

Mrs. Stoner was for several years a resident of Mancelona until she went to make her home with her daughters upon the farm. She was a Christian woman of estimable character and died in the triumphs of the faith. The funeral services will be held today, Thursday, at 2:30 o'clock at the home where she died and will be in charge of the pastor, Rev. W. W. Lamport. Interment will [take] place in the village cemetery.

Caroline Gilkison, daughter of James and Nancy, took care of her father and mother in their declining years. Her mother lost her mind in her declining years and at times was quite violent. Neighbors advised the husband to take his wife to an asylum, but he would never consent to do that. He passed out of this world before his wife and he told his daughter, Caroline, that his greatest sorrow was in leaving Nancy behind. Caroline promised that she would always care for her mother and would never let her go to an asylum. James Gilkison had a little straight jacket that he used to put on his wife Nancy when she became violent. She and he were both strict church members and the church was very near their home, but he seldom attended on account of his wife's condition. She was a very beautiful singer.

F., when living in the vicinity of a lodge. He is a Democrat, and a man much respected by all his
acquaiutances. He never sued, and was never sued, and has never been a witness before a jury except once, and that was before
the grand jury.

Prof. Pius B. Humphrey. The claim of Prof. Pius B. Humphrey upon the esteem and confidence of the people of Caney, Kansas, is based upon five years of faithful and efficient service in the office of superintendent of city schools. When he came to this city, in 1911, he was admirably fitted to take charge of the institutions in which the mind of youth is molded and developed, and since that time he has through steady and constant endeavor built up a school system which may be said to be second to none of a city this size in the state. His entire career has been devoted to work of an educational character, and in whatever community he has centered his activities he has always gained the good will and respect of his fellow-citizens.

Professor Humphrey was born in Scotland County, Northeastern Missouri, April 7, 1872, and is a son of Thomas P. and Sarah Jane (Stough) Humphrey. The family originated in England and the original American progenitors cnme to this country long before the Revolutionary war, being early settlers of Kentucky. From that state the family branched out to other parts of the country, one going to West 'Virginia, in which state was born in 1803, William Humphrey, the grandfather of Pius B. In 1838 William Humphrey came to the West, locating in Lewis County, Missouri, and twenty years later went to Scotland County. After a long and successful career passed as a farmer and stockraiser, he retired from active pursuits and moved to Knox County, Missouri, where his death occurred in 1885. He was a man of industry and progressiveness, honorable and trustworthy with his business associates, and a man who wielded a distinct influence in his community because of his general information and good judgment. He married Eliza Pettit, who was born in 1801, in West Virginia, and died in Scotland County, Missouri, in 1887, and among their children were the following: Ann, who married David Stice, a retired farmer, and resides at Downing, Missouri; Marten, who is a retired farmer of Hurdland, Missouri; and Thomas P.

Thomas P. Humphrey was born in March, 1832, in Kentucky, and was six years of age when taken by his parents to Lewis County, Missouri, where he was reared and educated. He was brought up to farming pursuits, and on attaining his majority followed in the footsteps of his father and adopted agriculture and stockraising as his life vocations, pursuits in which he was engaged throughout his career, with the exception of several years passed in merchandising. Through good management and industry and operations carried on along well-directed lines, he accumulated a good property and was in fairly comfortable circumstances at the time of his death, which occurred in Scotland County, September 4, 1911. He had been a resident of that county from 1858. Mr. Humphrey was a citizen who always supported measures for the benefit of his community, but did not engage in politics, save to cast his vote in favor of the candidates nearest his ideal. His religious connection was with the Baptist Church.

Mr. Humphrey married Miss Sarah Jane Stough, who was born July 30, 1842, in Ohio, and who died on the home farm in Scotland County, Missouri, May 18, 1916, and they became the parents of the following children: Melissa, who became the wife of Jesse E. Epperson, a farmer and stockraiser of Adair County, Missouri; Bettie Elizabeth, who is the wife of L. H. Ashby, a farmer and stockraiser of Knox County, Missouri, and the rural mail carrier of his community; Marten, who taught school for twenty years before becoming the owner of a large and valuable ranch in Garfield County, Washington, on which he died in 1895; William, the owner of a ranch and a stockraiser in Knox County, Missouri, who has also taught school for many years in his community; Thomas, who is engaged in operations on the old home farm in Scotland County; J. H., who is a resident of Denver, Colorado; Alice, who is the widow of Thomas Cashman, and resides at Keokuk, Iowa; Nora, who is the wife of J. E. Burns, a dairyman of Hannibal, Missouri; Pius B., of this review; Pearl, who is the wife of F. M. Long, engaged in merchandising at La Platte, Missouri; May, who is the wife of Virgil Donoehew, a farmer of Scotland County, Missouri; A. A., who is a farmer and stockman of Adair County, Missouri; Zoe, who .died in 1903, in Scotland County, Missouri, as the wife of Ed Donoehew, a brother of Virgil, who now resides in Kansas and is a farmer and stockraiser; Mina, who died young; and P. C., who is unmarried and resides on the home farm in Scotland County.

Pius B. Humphrey received his early education in the public schools of Scotland County, Missouri, following which he took a course at a preparatory college at Hurdland. He began his career as an educator in 1893, in the State of Washington, and remained there during that and the following year, when he returned to Missouri and for seven years taught in the public schools. During that time, in 1902, he entered the Missouri State Normal School, at Kirksville, from which he received a life teacher's certificate in 1906. In 1908 he was given the degree of M. P. from that institution, and three years later the same school conferred upon him the degree of B. S. Mr. Humphrey resumed teaching in 1906 and for two years was principal of the schools at Bolckow, Missouri, then going to Centralia, Missouri, as superintendent of schools, an office which he held for three years. After one year in a like capacity at Lebanon, Missouri, he was brought to Caney, Kansas, in 1911, and here has since held the position of superintendent of city schools. Under Mr. Humphrey's supervision are four schools, thirtyfive teachers, and approximately 1,300 scholars. He has done much to improve the system and to elevate the educational standard here, and during his administration several new schools have been erected and a great many improvements installed. Professor Humphrey is a member of the Kansas State, Montgomery County and Southeastern Teachers' associations. He is a democrat in politics, a member of the Presbyterian Church, and fraternally is connected with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, at Centralia, Missouri.

Professor Humphrey was married in Adair County, Missouri, in 1893, to Miss Lula Rankin, daughter of David and Mollie Rankin, the former of whom died in 1892, while the latter still survives and makes her home at Kirksville, Missouri. Mr. Rankin was a successful farmer and stockraiser. Two children have been born to Professor and Mrs. Humphrey, namely: Cleo, who died in infancy; and Jewell, born November 27, 1898, who is now a member of the junior class at the Caney High School.

BROCKLEY.
THIS is ſmall pariſh in the ſecond ſubdiviſion of the hundred, nine miles ſouth
weſt from Briſtol, and three north from Wrington, in the turnpike-road from
Briſtol to Yatton and Congerſbury. The ſituation is very pleaſant, and conſtſts of
great variety of ſurface; and from ſome parts the proſpects are very beautiful.
About quarter of mile eaſtward of the church is very fine romantick glen,
called Brockley-German', about half mile in length, and very narrow; each ſide being
ſteep ſlope formed of rugged rocks mixed with timber-trees, yews, foreſt and other
ſhrubs, that grow out of the crcvices of the ſtone. In the deepeſt part the trees are
very lofty, and the rocks almoſt inacceſſible to the height of near three hundred feet,
projecting in many places through, and towering above the tops of the branches, with
-a rude and aſtoniſhing grandeur. The ſteep aſcent and rugged ſurface of the rocks
on each ſide are rendered very romantick by the fantaſtically twiſted forms of the
roots of many trees and ſlirubs which ſpring from the crevices, and ſpread their branches
in the moſt pictureſque manner. Along the bottom is fine grave] walk, and nearly in
the center of the Combe is neat cottage, where many reſort to drink tea in the ſummer
ſeaſon. If this ſpot had the advantage of water, it would be ſecond Matlock on
ſmaller ſcale, but not leſs romantick and beautiful.

Josias was the son of John Furman of Watertown, MA, who is thought to have come from Nayland, co. Suffolk, England. Josias is reportedly the same baptized at Nayland on 22 Apr. 1621, the son of John Furman and Susan Warren. The family arrived in New England in "Winthrop's Fleet" in 1630.

Josias settled in Hempstead, on Long Island, by 1657. By 1664, he relocated his family to Middleburgh/Newtown, in what would become Queen Co., NY.

He married at least twice. His wife Alice/Angelche is documented in 1669 and later, and is thought to be the mother of his children. They included six sons, as follows:

1. Josias Jr., b. abt. 1653--linked below
2. Joseph, b. abt 1655
3. John, b. 1650-56, d. 1726, m. Margaret Lynch
4. David, m. Mary Morrell
5. Samuel, m. Elizabeth Roberts
6. Jonathan

Josias married (second) to the widow Mary Weed of Stamford, CT, about 1692.

He died sometime between 1703 and 1709, presumably in Newtown where he resided.

Note: He was most likely buried in the Old Newtown Cemetery based on his residence. No documentation of burial or a gravestone has been found. 		Furman, Josias (I31121)

7499 Commentary from Elizabeth Hervey Osborn:

Elise emigrated from Russia in 1874, as part of the mass migration of Mennonites out of Volhynia. Volhynia had formerly been part of Poland, was then part of Russia, and is now part of the Ukraine. It is a region not far from Kiev. You can read about this mass migration in "Brothers in Deed to Brothers in Need" by Clarence Herbert. The migration came about due to the new Czar's law making military service compulsory for all adult males. This requirement this was a major change from the promises made by the Empress Catherine about two or three generations earlier around the turn of the century from the 1700s to the 1800s. Due to their reputation as diligent hard-working and peaceful farmers, she invited Mennonites to settle and build up that part of Poland that Russia had recently acquired, promising in exchange that they would be exempted from military service.

Several branches of Mennonites answered Catherine's call, but the single largest (and earliest) group was from Prussia, where religious persecution (largely based in their refusal to take up arms) had become intense. These Mennonites had originated two or three generations before that in the northern European lowlands of the Netherlands and Flanders. Common surnames among this "Low Mennonite" group included Becker, Nachtigall (Nightingale), Unruh, Buller, Schmidt, Ratzlaf, Jantz, Warkentin, and Köhn. They early settled in the town of Karlswalde and (as was the pattern at the time, which is even seen in our own US Mennonite ancestry settlement patterns) branched out into daughter settlements nearby, including Antonovka.

There were some other Mennonite/Anabaptist groups which also came to Catherine's Russia, including a few Swiss Mennonites (including the surname Krehbiel) and some Hutterites. Generally speaking, prior to leaving Russia, the groups did not intermingle, because they did not speak exactly the same language (High German v. Low German) and did not exactly conform to the same religious practices (much like the differences now between Mennonites and Amish). There is some record, however, of a town or two trying the idea of living together; in particular there were was at least once where some Low Mennonites joined with some Hutterites in a common property experiment (as described in the book of Acts) but it did not last too very long.

When the changes in the compulsory service law were announced, the Mennonites had a year or two of time before it became effective. During this time, they sent men to the Western Hemisphere to investigate where they might go, and to secure promises regarding the obligation of military service. These men toured the plains of North America from Kansas to Manitoba during the Summer of 1873. When they went back and reported to their respective congregations, they all decided to go -- but some to Kansas, some to Nebraska, some to the Dakotas, and still others to Canada. As preparation for the journey across two continents began, it became apparent that not everyone had the means to make the trip... worse, land values around the Mennonite settlements plummeted as buyers knew they only had to wait until the situation under the new conscription law would become dire, leaving the land free for the taking.

Quite a few of the Low Mennonites decided to come to Kansas, to a location easily accessible by the new railroad. The land there most resembled the prairies of Volhynia that they knew; and they would bring Russian Red Winter Wheat (which would revolutionize Kansas wheat farming... (but that was in the future).

Meanwhile, back in the United States, word of the plight of these Mennonite refugees was being shared in German language newspapers and Mennonite congregations. President U.S. Grant noted that they were coming to "settle in compact colonies... desirous of civil and religious liberty" in what would have been the equivalent of his State of the Union address in January 1874. Collections were taken up to help secure land and tools for the future arrivals. The Zion Mennonite Church of Lee County Iowa contributed $20.00 toward the Russian Aid Fund in December 1874, for example. Many, but not all, of the Mennonites leaving Russia found it difficult to exchange their goods and property for cash; what they could get was spent on transportation first across Europe, then to Liverpool England, then passage on a steamship to Philadelphia, then train to the great prairies. Those with adequate funds were able get underway in early 1874, and arrived in Kansas in July. Just in time for the Grasshopper plague. (You remember that plague from Little House on Plum Creek, right? Yup. That plague).

Those without adequate funds lagged behind, including most of the folks from Antonovka. Throughout November 1874, emigrants from Russia boarded steamships in LIverpool and Hamburg, as many as could fit on each ship, some on the Nederland, some on the CIty of London, some on the CIty of Montreal, some on the Abbotsford. There were still hundreds in the port cities trying to leave as winter set in. The "Herald of Truth" newspaper noted on November 26 that 35 families of Russian Mennonites landed that day in Philadelphia, and said "Whether they are poor or have means, we are not informed, but they will undoubtedly remain in the East during the winter."

The writer was wrong. Unaccustomed to city life and American ways, and perhaps swindled by ticket sellers, railroad hawks, or just plain lacking information about options (and no way to say, call ahead and ask what arrangements could or be made), a huge percentage of the arrivals boarded trains for the west. And the ships full of Mennonites kept leaving Europe. The Steamer Vaterland arrived a Philadelphia on Christmas Day, after having experienced several delays at sea, including storms and a smallpox epidemic. The Vaterland was carrying 700 Russian Mennonites. About 450 or 500 of these had run out of provisions during the voyage. On arrival in Philadelphia, the whole group immediately left for Kansas. I believe based on matching the names of the persons on this ship with the people in the area where Elise was rescued that Elise was among the arrivals on the Vaterland.

The arrivals on the Vaterland had boarded trains for Kansas in late December 1874.... and again, if you remember your Little House on Plum Creek, was a horrible horrible winter.

By February 1875, Mennonite newspapers featured headlines "Help Needed - the Late Arrivals from Russia" and "The Great Need" and begged for relief boxes to be sent labelled "Relief Goods for the Destitute at Florence, Kansas." Various Mennonite colonies across the United States sent every spare penny, and a plan was developed to acquire land, tools, and working cattle for each family. Among those delivering goods over the following year was David Schowalter, son of Peter Schowalter and Maria Eymann. According to his brother Peter C.'s account made in 1941, when David returned from Kansas in August of 1876, he brought two girls and a little boy (Donnellson Mennonite Church Family Register, entry for Schowalter Edward Henry and Koehn Elise). The little boy did not live long in Iowa. The other little girl is not identified.

The Donnellson Mennonite Church Family Register also reports the following "After the death of her Mother, Elise came to this country when she was nine years old with an aunt and uncle, Christan and Marie Krehbiel Koehn, before coming to Donnellson." The page identifies her father as Benjamin Koehn, and that her foster parents were Peter Schowalter Sr and Maria Eymann.

What confounds this story, a little, is that on another page in the same record, we find that Peter & Maria Eymann Schowalter "fostered Elise from a Russian Mennonite family who came through Donnellson, IA."

Elise's obituary in the Christlicher Bundesbote, (27 July 1943, a transcription and rough translation at Mike's site) causes me to lean more toward Peter C. Schowalter's story: "After the death of her mother, she came in 1874 with her Uncle and Aunt to Kansas, and from there to Donnellson...." Notice here that there are no names attached to the Uncle and Aunt. What is raises questions about the names given in the Church Record is that they indicate a marriage between Low Mennonite and Swiss Mennonite groups -- not an impossibility, but considered highly unlikely. During 1874, the Swiss Mennonites largely traveled together, taking passage on the City of Richmond out of Liverpool, and arriving in New York CIty in August. There are four "Krepel" families on this ship, two have girls with them (Hanna age 8 and Marie age 9) who could match Elise; there is also a Peter Krepel and his wife Marie, but they have no children listed with them. None of these leads have panned out so far.

And a rough translation:

27 Jul 1943
Elise Koehn of Donnellson, Iowa was born 11 November 1864 in Russia. After the death of her mother, she came in 1874 with her Uncle and Aunt to Kansas, and from there to Donnellson, where she lived until she was 18 years old. Then she went with her foster mother to Moundridge, Kansas, to the farm. On the 25th of December 1886, Elise married Edward H. Schwalter [sic]. They resided some years in Halstead, Kansas, where her husband worked in (a store?), and then taught in the Indian Mission School in Krehbiel-Town (on Pred. Chr. Krehbiel's Farm). They returned to Iowa, where they bought a small farm north-west of Donnellson, from whence they moved again in 1919 to Keokuk, Iowa, which she called home until her death on 27 April 1943 in the hospital. Her husband preceded her in death on 14th of March 1939. Both Elise and Edward were members of the Zion Mennonite Church in Donnellson. Their marriage was blessed with 5 children; one died young. Remaining to mourn the passing of their mother are Clarence S. of Grand Rapids, Michigan; Harvey O. of Keokuk; Miss Mabel, of Keokuk; and Mrs. Otto Krebill, Donnellson; as well as 5 grandchildren and 4 great grand children. The funeral was held in Donnellson, and was conducted by Pred. H. E. Nunemaker. A quartet sang "The Old Rugged Cross" and "Abide With Me." Interment took place in the Mennonite Cemetery.

*Commentary by Liz Osborn: Elisa (or the person answering) doesn't remember her mother's name. The 39 years matches the length of her citizenship, which would conceivably be a correct answer depending on how the enumerator asked her (citizenship being established on the date of her marriage to Edward). The Germany responses are puzzling until you consider that it may not have been prudent at that time to admit to being 'from' Russia.
