Love your ultra-rich site, Bill. Back later to explore further.....

So sorry for the double loss. I gather both your wife and your mother died last year. You're a super guy to take the time to put all this up for us. My mother is 82 and just finished her military memoirs. "Vanilla" to the max! Love the attitude but Manilla and New Guinea were not exactly picnics. Via your links, hope to find examples of writing by her "female personnel" contempories who have "told it like it was."

King is the only family line we might share. King/Dolby at the Kemp Family Massacre site in Old Pendleton Dist.

Bless you! Warenne in SC

I enjoyed your patriotic memorial to your ancestors and family that served our country. My late husband was in the Rhineland during WWll. My uncles served in Okinawa & Phillipines. Although they were too young for any of the wars, my brothers & my two sons both served in the U.S. Marines. Memorial Day is a very special day for our family. I just wish our young people would appreciate more what our service men do for them.Thanks again for a very moving site.

I just looked at your site and it is very well done. Your tribute to the Miliarty members of your family is special. My husband was in the Marine Corps for 20 years and has recently died. When Taps are played at a full military funeral it is very emotional. He is buried among his peers which makes the family very proud. My oldest son served in the Air Force in Viet Nam and has seen his share of sorrow as well. My brother served in the Marine Corps during WW II as well. Everyone that sees your site should take time to reflect on the freedom they enjoy due to all our service men and women. Thank you for the reminder.

I am the daughter of another "Bill" Hughes. William Vaton Hughes, born 1869 in Marion County, Ala.
died June 14, 1945 in Kingston, Oklahoma. He was the son of Thomas Edwin Hughes, a veteran of the Civil War, having joined at the age of 16. I have a list of the battles he fought in. If you would like more info, please let me know. I have quite a bit of info on his line, if you are connected in any way.

Dear Bill, when are you going to stop calling your
Hessian ancestor Johannes Schwalm a MERCENARY?
You know that he was not a mercenary at all, just a poor farmer boy who got drafted to serve his prince.
Please give him more credit, he deserves it.
And btw., I don't mind if you advertise your webpage
on the [email protected] mail list, the
JSHA is featured there all the time, too.
Cheers,

My interest is in the Blackmon parts of our tree. I know of an Irvin Blackmon, William Jackson Blackmon, Joseph Dewitt Blackmon, Flossie Irma Blackmon Miller, then my father, Mark Manson Miller. Irvin is a mystery except that he was in Harris County, GA, and ran a grist mill on the Chattahoochee River. The family Bible states the date 1760, but we don't know if that was when he was born or when he was already in the Georgia Territory. I don't know if William Jackson is next in line or if a generation is skipped, but Joseph Dewitt is William Jackson's son,and Flossie Irma is Joseph Dewitt's (called Pomp) daughter. Pomp moved his family to Chambers Co, AL, and that's where they all stayed until they died, the last in the late 1980's. My grandmother's younger sister out-lived her by 40 or more years. Their sons and daughters almost all moved away. I would love to hear from you if you can lead me anywhere else.

You have a great site, and I can tell you have put a lot of work and time into it. I hope one of these days to discover all of my roots and can go back as far as you have. I am new to Genealogy, and still in the learning process. Just wish the bug had bitten me years ago, might have been a little easier when many of my family were still alive. Thanks for sharing.

Probably unrelated. I know very little about my grandfather as he abandoned the family early in this century. He was Thomas Jefferson Hughes, served in the Army during the Spanish American War, married Emma Miller in Bakersfield, California, and fathered my father Otho Lloyd Hughes in 1898. He came to California in the late 1800s, from either the Midwest or the Mid-South.

I am not sure if you are the person I am looking for but I am willing to try. I am locating William
Hughes, Sr. of Grand Prairie, Tx. who is approximately 80 years of age. There was a newspapaer article in the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram about Survivors Remember Pearl Harbor with a picture and name. My father R.T. Williamson, Jr. remembers the man in the picture, he is almost positive. He says he worked with him and walked to work with him at the plant. He is not sure if Mr. Hughes even knew my fathers name. But he would very much like to talk with William Hughes, Sr. If you are this person please let me know.

Thank you,

I am looking for my grandfather's father, Thomas John Hughes. I know no information about him, but that he had a sister, name unknown, and he lived in Coaldale and moved with his wife and children around 1917 to Allentown, Pa. Somewhere around 1925 he left the family and we think moved to his sister's house in Pottsville, never to be heard from again. If anyone knows if he may be related please contact me. I would be glad to give current info on family after him. Thomas John Hughes married Elizabeth Williams and he was probably born around 1870 (that's when his wife was born, so give or take a little) Thanks for any help!! We're really stuck on this one.

Flo.was the daughter of *George Miller(1885/IL-1950/OR) and Margaret(Maggie)Snell 1885/SD-1957/OR)
George was 33 and Maggie was 32 when they married in 1918.

*George's father:Joseph Miller of IL
*George's mother: Grace Moshel of Fance
George & Maggie's children:John 1878/WI
Annie 1882/WI
James 1884/SD
and Margaret 1885/SD

Do you happen to have any other information about these Millers? I'm afraid that I don't have much more. Thanks so much and I wish I knew how to do a webpage of my own, one of these days I will just have to take the time to learn how to do it. Thanks again. Bev Mowrer

Bill, you say we are not related but your mother has small Holland eyes like my people do.She is probably not even related to the Hollands. I had a cousin who was a hairdresser that looked so much like her. My John came from NC/SC/GA/TN/TX. Is there a chance my John was related to your John back in SC? I can't go further back than my ggrandfather John. Are you from the VA line? Sharon Barnes gave me your address and she definitely is a distant cousin of mine. Your website is awesome. I have never seen a more impressive one. Ruth

Bill,
I am interested in your KLINGERS...My GG Grandfather, William (Wilhelm) Klinger was born in Hesse-Darmstadt, town unknown, ca.1830. Married in early 1850's to Elizabeth EINLAUF, also of Hesse-Darmstadt; son George Leonhard KLINGER born to them in 1855 in New York City.
Any clues to the parentage of this William?
Thank you for your webpages...very nice!

It's a great idea to have website and I think I will do the same. As you can see I'm a Hughes but my grandmother was a free that married a Henry Hughes which both died in Aliceville, Al. About 12 years ago my great aunt Bernice Hughes who was my grandfather sister died before I had a chance to ask questions about my family. The Hughes name is a very large task to handle because there are so many of them. God Bless and Keep you strong in heart and in mind. Love Marilyn

Hi, I throughly enjoyed searching your site. The dedication to your Mom is exceptional.
I am hoping that you can help me with a couple of questions I have.
I am trying to find out the origination of the surname Sowell for my brother-in-law, Charles "Dennis" Sowell.
He was born and raised in Arkansas; do you think there may be a connection somehow with your Sowells?
Thanks for any assistance.

In the Light & Love of our Lord & His Angels!

Respectfully

Bill, you've become a welcome addition to my life. You are one of the long-lost cousins I've had the pleasure of discovering via internet genealogy. When you aren't around to send your uplifting bits of wisdom, I miss you terribly. Although I never met Anita, I know she was a wonderful woman, because you loved her so. I know she'll be watching lovingly over you and your girls until one day you're all together again. As a Christian, isn't it a joy to know heaven is so much sweeter now?

It gives an interesting Mailing list under Rootsweb.com. The URL moreover is: https://mailinglists.rootsweb.com/listindexes/legacy/intl/DEU/DEU-EIFEL.html
In this Mailing list are more than 150 "ancestor's researchers" with active interest in genealogy in the area(field) the Eifel. Possibly the half of these ancestor's researchers are descendants of earlier emigrants and today they live in the U.S.A.

I saw that you have Montgomerys, but I don't think they are mine. Robert Montgomery was born in South Carolina in 1765. He was the youngest of nine brothers. He married Rebecca Coffee.
He may have been born on the ocean as the family immigrated from Northern Ireland. I wish I knew the names of his parents and brothers. They may have been in Lancaster county.
They later moved to Tennessee, then Mississippi where I was born. I now live in New Orleans. Frances

William Harris Hughes <[email protected]>
Howdy
The Hughes side of my family were "Potato Famine Irish" from County Monaghan.
They settled in North-Eastern Pennsylvania and took up farming. Disaster. Walked off the
farm and went to work in the coal mines. Anthracite. My grandfather was 8 and in the
third grade. That was the end of his education and he pushed a shuttle car until he was
twelve, at which point he ran away, as all young men were expected to do in those days.
He went to Philadelphia and the first shop with a "Boy Wanted" sign in the window was a
pumbing shop. By the time he was 21 he owned his own shop. At 31 he married one of
the Carrolls (Signer of the Declaration Of Independence and siigner of the Constitution)
and headed West. He arrived in SF in time for the earthquake and fire which was a bit of
an opportunity for a contractor. He had a dozen siblings. A cousin, Bill Hughes, of
Camden, NJ was the first Senator elected by Labor. I figured that "Camden" might get
your attention owing to the coincidence. There was another Bill Hughes who was a
govenor of New Jersey who is related somehow.

Doing a bit of research on the Coleman clan. Came across your site by accident. Very well put together. Nice touch to honor the vets, and include the historic documents. When I read Lincoln's Gettysburg address, I remember my high school teacher commenting that at the conclusion of the speech, the crowd turned away in dismay--a typical speech in those days was expected to run at least an hour. This one went less than 5 minutes. The crowd, and Lincoln thought it to be an utter failure. Turned out to be one of the most elequent speeches in all of history. Thanks for including it. Makes our modern-day politicians look like they are--shallow pretenders to greatness.

Terry Cawthorn <[email protected]>

Looking for information on Christopher Cawthon, Hanover Co. He was listed in the Vestry Book of St. Paul's Parish as early as 1719. He is listed in the recostructed census of 1720 in New Kent Co. Then in 1740 he is shown living in Hanover Co., Va. His sons are I believe Robert, James, John, Gideon and maybe a brother or cousin Thomas is linked with him at this time. I connect the Thomas with Christopher because of proximity in Hanover Co their land probably adjoined one another. The other link is that when Thomas sold his land in 1733 - Richard Cawthon signed as a witness thats why I believe the Hanover Cawthon's are related directly to the Essex Cawthorns. Any opinion on this?

Just wanted to thank you for posting your info. If I have it figured properly, you and my grandfather
are 6th cousins descending from Johannes Batdorf and Anna Herber.
This Anna Maria Catharina Herber is very intersting to me since she married twice - once to Johannes
Batdorf who you and I descend from and then to a Johann Georg Zeller who my wife descends from!
Thanks again.

I am a direct descendant of John A. Shade, born in Pittsburg. PA, Allegheny Co. 1/18/1816 died in Wheeling, VA(now W.Va.) 7/18/1868. He was a steamboat engineer on the Ohio River. He moved to Louisville, Ky with his wife, Martha A. Dunn in 1851. She was also born in Pittsburg 1/12/1818 died in Louisville 6/27/1871. They brought three children with them: James T. Shade, Mary Alice (later married Michael O'Mara in Louisville), and Martha A. Shade(later married Thomas T. Gilbert, Union Soldier Civil War from Va. in Louisville) T. T. Gilbert's parents were: Thomas Gilbert and Sarah Schreick(Schrech) They were from the western part of Va., now W. Va. My grandfather was named for this man Gilbert. My great grandfather James T. Shade and T.T. Gilbert met through the Civil War. John A. Shade's family would have been in PA for the 1850 Census. I do not know if any children remained behind. Since I have not been able to see that record (1850 Census, PA). I have not been able to locate an entry for that household. Still looking. On the 1860 U. S. Census, Jefferson Co., Louisville, KY John, his wife Martha and the three children above mentioned are listed, ages from 18-21. John is 42 and Martha 40. The members of that Shade family are buried in Cave Hill Cemtery, Louisville, KY. John A. Shade was my 2 great grandfather. I am descended through his son, James T. Shade and his son Gilbert Shade, my grandfather. My father was James Edward Shade. My Gr. Grandfather, James T. Shade was a Union soldier in the Civil War. He was wounded at Shiloh. I am interested in finding more about my ancesators in PA before John A. Shade. I do not know his father's name. Would appreciate any help. Any Shade connections out here recognize this family? James T. Shade married Martha Lee Toops of Harrison County, Indiana(just across the Ohio Rv. at Louisville. This Toops family came from Switzerland by way of Pennsylvania in the Lebanon Co. area. They first settled in Jefferson Co. KY in 1799 (Henry and John Toops) before going across to Indiana ca. 1809. Any Toops connections out there?
Thanks. What a wonderful thing you have put together. I enjoyed seeing some of the family connections that I recognize from so. Indiana. Simon Potorff(Potoff, Bottorff), Revolutionary Veteran) daughter Betsy Potorff married John Ganote relative of mine in Jefferson Co. KY in 1815 and relocated to so. Ind. Names I am researching are: Henry H. Miller from Fincastle, Botetourt Co. Va. to Floyd Co.Ind. in 1821 with brother George Miller, wife Malinda (Melinda) Breedlove The brothers married sisters. Henry's wife, Elizabeth Breedlove and his wife's parents, Isaac Breedlove and his wife,Barbara A. Shanks from Shenandoah, Va. Henry H. Miller and wife brought their infant son John H. Miller. All other children were born in Ind.:Barbara Ann, Samuel C., William, Isaac M., Elizabeth J., Sarah O., Adaline, Mary K., Jacob J. and Francis Marion Miller, My ancestor. John Wesley Franklin VA-Ky (indirect descendant of Benjamin Franklin, connection lost) John Wesley Franklin's parents unknown. His father died while he was very young. His mother remarried a man named Martin (Va.)and moved to Coles Co. Illinois. the Ky Franklins maintained connnections with this area in Illinois. John Wesley Franklin, Jr. born in KY, later a Dr., moved to Coles Co. Married, lived there, but is buried in the Franklin family plot in Pennsylvania Run cemetery, in Jeff. Co., KY. His father was KY born 1814-5. Married Eliza Louisa Ganote in 1837 Jefferson Co., KY. They had a large family. Many of the children moved to Illinois as did Eliza, John Franklin, Sr.'s wife, after John, Sr. died in 1892. She died in Coles Co.in 1900. Several of their daughters and sons lived in IL for a time. Most are buried in KY. Eliza Ganote's Beeler family side came from TN to KY to so. Ind. Her mother, Sarah Beeler married David Ganote in Clark Co. Ind. then moved to Bullitt Co. KY and then Jefferson Co., KY David Ganotes's parents were in buried in Pennsylvania Run Cemetery, Jeff. Co. KY. They were Coonrod Ganote and Catherine. Their children were; John, Catherine and David Ganote. Catherine married Jacob Smyser in Jeff. Co. Ky.

Subject: Surnames: Peavy, Williams, and Campbell
Georgia Counties: Warren, Walton, Morgan and Meriwether

My name is Hudson Peavy Meacham, Jr.

Seeking information on Georgia ancestors. My main interest is to find a family connection for my great grandmother Hattie C. Williams [b. January 21, 1852] who married John White Peavy [b. July 29, 1848] they married February 28, 1871 in Meriwether County Georgia.

Warren County Duncan Campbell married Elizabeth Jones August 18, 1823

Walton County 1830 census: Duncan Campbell 1 male under 5, 1 male 15-20, 1 male 30-40, 1 female under 5, 2 females 20-30, 1 female 30-40 and 1 female 60-70.

Morgan County Emeline Sophia Campbell married Carter W. Williams January 22, 1839

Meriwether County 1850 and 1860 census C. Willis Williams's wife listed as Emeline daughters listed as: Elizabeth b. 1841,
Sallie A. b.1843,
Virginia C, b.1846,
Udoria "Dora" b.1848 [married Pope],
Hattie C. 1852 and
Fannie C. 1855

My grandmother Emma Peavy Meacham left Georgia around 1910 and left her husband and brought her four children to Jacksonville, Fla.

Edward Emanuel Hughes, Jr. <[email protected]>
Have been searching ancestry (paternal) over the internet for the past two years. Have met several cousins and made connections. What a thrill!
So far I have traced my ancestry back to Northumberland, VA, Thomas Hughes b. l680. From there to Edward 1715, Nathaniel 1740 (Prince Wm. Co. VA), who raised his family in Pittsylvania Co., VA, who migrated to Abbeville Co., SC after Nathaniel's death in 1784. Edward b. 1774, James b/ 1806. James son Edward Marshall Hughes b. 1831 migrated to Timpson, Shelby Co., TX. where he raised his family including my grandfather Richard Gilbert Hughes. Richard Gilbert migrated to Rosenberg, Tx raised his family including my6 father Edward Emanuel Sr. My father migrated to Little Rock, AR where I was raised. And I migrated to Silsbee, TX after a long journey and retirement. For whatever it might be worth to you and your searches. You have a great website.

Bill, so impressive is your work. One of my grandmothers was Mary Ann Baker who married Andrew Jackson Pryor in the 1840's. She was the daughter of Jonathan Baker from Virginia. Have you every run across this line? Thank you.

Ok, cuz. You have 58720354. Richard Clare back more generations don't you? I'm sure I do. The one who signed the Magna Carta had two daughters, Maude and (I'm drawing a blank. Was it Jane?) My mother was from one and my dad from the other. They were married 60 years before I found that out. And Dad looked at Mom and said, "I knew there was some reason I liked you. (being a cousin!)". Isn't genealogy fun? Thanks.

This is what genealogy should be about--the way you put it. I've always liked ahnentafel's. However, is there any way to show documentation, too? We have family in that area--Hesse, on both my side and my husband's. But none of the direct family married yours. Thanks for sharing in this way.

I descend from Joel Blackwell who died ca 1821 in Rutherford Co. NC. I can find no record of his every being a patriot, but have just recently found out his brother was a TORY. So, I am going to have to take another look around.

I do have ancestors who fought in the AM REV and the War of 1812 for their county. I also have a group of Southern gentlemen who fought for States Rights, their families and their land. They did NOT fight for slavery regardless of the new rewritten history being spread around.

Today I am fighting to prevent my Southern heritage from being destroyed one flag and one statute at a time in my home state. Long Live the South.

I love your site. I wish everyone had an understanding of how great it was to have the servicemen of all the wars in this country and to know that without them we would not be what we are today. My Uncles and brother served and my son was a U.S. Marine. I looked thru your surname registry but didn't see any that might be related to me but I am really just beginning my quest. I know my 4th greatgrandfather served in the Revolutionary War and my 2nd greatgrandfather served and died in the Civil War. I hope everyone remembers these fighting men every day and honors them always. Jo

I enjoy checking on your pages from time to time and always seem to learn something. Had not known that Abraham Blackwell's wife was a Chancellor. Let me know if you ever learn who his brother, John's, wife was (my ancestors). Someone wrote she was a Lee; since his nephew married a Leigh, I thought that must be worth investigating. Had not known that Wylie Blackmon was a son of James and Anna either; how does Britton Blackmon fit into that family? Think I wrote you once before of Zadok Hilton's testimony during the probate of my ancestor, Michael Horton's will, which showed him living as late as that. Forgot date of his testimony, but Horton died in June of 1862, so it was after that. Miles

Bill, you have done a wonderful job of constructing your Website. Unfortunately, I don't believe I share any surnames with you, with the possible exception of Williams. My ancestors migrated from somewhere in SC to Barbour Co., AL in the mid to late 1830s, and the patriarch of the line was born in NC, moved to SC and then on to AL with his wife and children. If any of this sounds like it might mesh with the history of your Williams line, I'd love to compare more detailed notes. Again, great Website! Thanks for sharing the fruits of your labors. CWB

Hi
I'm trying to find out for sure what my great grandmother's history was. Her name is Mary Catherine Hughes. Her father is Edward Hughes and her mother may have been a Shannon or O'brien. No one seems to know. It appears that she came from the Summit (Cresson area) but that is not sure either. She committed suicide (or was helped) about 1910-1920. How is that for vague guesses and maybe's. The family was strict Catholic and so the subject is hush hush and my grandmother would not talk about it. Her sisters are all dead also. I always try to put this on every HUGHES site I can find in the hopes that it will sound familiar to someone. Mary Catherine Hughes was married to Edward Gaynor from Canada/New York area.
They had six children: Florence Regina, Ruth Ann, Margaret, Blanche Mary, Veronica (died young) and a brother that was still born. Most lived around the Clearfield and Cambria County area at death. Thanks for any help you may be able to give me, or thanks for reading this little story of yet another Hughes. Jan

Very nice webpage! I like the way your page is constructed - very easy to navigate - and your home page with picture is very nicely done!

I am also descended from Johannes Martin Batdorf & Maria Walborn through their son, Johann Adam. His son, also named Johann Martin, settled in Kentucky, near present day Louisville. From there, the generations migrated to southern Indiana, then southern Illinois where I was born. By the time they reached Illinois, the Batdorf name had mutated to Bottorff the to Pottorff.

I also have a SC connection - the surname is KIRKLEY from Chesterfield - who migrated to Indiana in the early 1820's. Unfortunately, not many old records remain to definitively track them once I get back to SC.

Thanks for publishing your genealogy for others like myself to enjoy!

Having taken a look at your site , I'm impressed !
We have a connection I believe, as I have traced my Stratford ancestors (with help from other researchers) back to 870. I took a look at yours to see if we had anyone in common, and I think we do.
The connection is way back in 1478 when Richard Stratford of Farmcote and Hawling married Frances Kyrkeby
Children - William ( my ancestor)
John ( your ancestor)
On checking your tree, have you missed a generation out? My records show John Stratford married Christine Howell and their son John married Margaret Tracy.
I think there is also a generation missing again, as John and Margaret's son Henry married Lady Mary Maire of Chester, and their son John married Mary Throgmorton.
Also can you tell me if you have any details of George Stratford, father of Gyles, ever marrying. The parish baptismal records of Standish give details of children born to a George -Gyles being one of them.Is this George the son of George Stratford and Elizabeth Hobby, as the info I have been given said he never married. I look forward to your reply and any other help you think relevant
Cheerio and God Bless

http://www.pbcc.cc.fl.us/llrc/dcornwell/
Bill,

I ran into your web page upon looking through the Schuylkill Co., Pa., US GenWeb project. The reason?
Your surname. My gr-gr-grandmother was Clara Hughes, b. abt. 1845, in Pa. She married
William F. MacLennan (or McLennan), of Maryland, prob. just after the Civil War. William & Clara's
family is found in the 1880 federal census in Orwigsburg, Schuylkill Co., Pa., with several
sons and their 1-year-old daughter, Mary A. MacLennan, who is my gr-grandmother.
Mary A. MacLennan Eldridge gave birth to my grandmother, Clara Permelia Eldridge Schoonmaker,
19 May 1899, but she (Mary A.) died in 1903, apparently due to complications from
childbirth.

We have lost all touch with that branch of the family, in fact my grandmother
would often talk about how the only mother she knew was the woman whom her father
married following her own mother's death -- naturally! --- my grandmother would have
been 2 years old when Mary Angeline MacLennan Eldridge died.

It was interesting that I should run into someone in Schuylkill County with the very same
surname, Hughes. At this point, I know nothing about Clara Hughes' parents or other
family members. In fact, I know very little about the MacLennans.

It is also very interesting that I happened to run into your web page this very evening and saw
all that you have about the Marines. I just learned about an hour ago that a friend of our
family (I grew up in the Binghamton, NY, area) just passed away last night. He had
served in the Marines in the Pacific during WWII and, in fact, came from the Pottstown, Pa.,
area originally. There was a couple of times he described that very statue from Iwo Jima that
you have on your web page.

He was a graduate of Lehigh University, which I believe may be very close to Schuylkill County (not
that familiar with Pa. geography, though, so pardon me if I fail the geography test!)

Hope you get this message and are able to write back.

Hello Bill,
Am new to the internet with my genealogy research. Pleased to find another cousin. Your site is wonderful! We sure have a lot of loyal military types in our background. My grandfather (Frederick Walburn) was a veteran of WW I and a Purple Heart recipient; my father (James Walburn), a veteran of WW II, Korea, and Viet Nam. My direct paternal line goes back to Christian Wilhelm Walborn's son Hermanus. If I can provide you with any information, I would be happy to. I do not have my own site as yet; still too much of a novice.Again, a great site.

Thanks for such a wonderful website, Bill. I may a Yankee cousin (ALL of my Elliot(t)s are from Maine starting in 1742), I still appreciate your artistry, sense of history and mostly your patriotism. My military career spanned 21 years and I was NEVER sorry that I did it, from the race riots to the rice paddys to the distinction of being in the "Honor Guard" Company to being just old Master Sergeant Nasty - the supply sergeant who "knew his stuff." Other than my family, it is the was important part of my life. Sadly, I am diabled now, but I love to find sites like yours. The picture on your main page is beautiful. I pray that your parents continued to love you as they obviously did in that picture.
Sincerely,
Tom

Hi, you have a wonderful homepage. I noticed a Maria Christina Henninger on one of your lists. My maiden name is Heninger, but there are several spellings in the ancestoral history. My maternal grandfather was a Stein but I don't have much information at all about his family. All I know is that my ggrandfather's name was Wilson Stein and he married Eliz. Herbig. This was probably in the mid 1800's. Their children were Edwin Leroy Stein (my grandfather - born in late 1800's), Gertrude, Annabell, Albert, Irving, Howard, Robert (died young) and possibly a Charles (?). Edwin Leroy Stein was born in Bethlehem, PA (near reading). My grandfather (Edwin L. Stein) was a dentist and married Lily M. Springer. They had two daughters, Virginia (adopted) and Elizabeth (born 1923). If anyone out there knows anything about this branch of the family, my mother (Elizabeth Stein Heninger) and I sure would like to hear from you. Thanks, Carol

I am a descendent of these folks, but have not been able to discover any defining information regarding them prior to John Stahlman in Rev. War. Do you have any defining about the marriage of either couple?

I think your web page layout and the information contained is wonderful. You've done some good creating, there. I do not have any of your surnames...sorry. My own research is the Duncan family that I have found originating in Fauquier Virginia, and the Grizzell (Grizzel or Grizzle) family which was in Nash County North Carolina and Russel County Virginia. I alwo started my research in 1993. I had tried to begin my research twenty years earlier, but the demands of raising five children kept me pretty busy. Good luck in your endeavor. Phyllis

Bill,
How fortunate you are to have traced your Hugheses back before the Rev. War! I have been searching for the parents or siblings of my gt gt grandfather, James Henry Hughes, b. 1798 where?, m. Hannah Weddington 1823 in Concord, NC. The trail from there forward is pretty well documented. They moved to Henry Co., TN in 1825 and many of their descendants moved to East Texas after the Civil War. If you have a James Henry let me know!!!!!!!!! Nerxt, I would like to pray for your heart to be well and strong. My husband is former pastor of First Baptist Church, Houston, TX. and First Baptist of Pompano Beach, FL. He is now Distinguished Professor of Preaching at Howard Payne Univ. in Brownwood, TX. My ministry is in intersessory prayer and it will be a privilege to pray for another Hughes cousin, however "far removed." Ethelyn Hughes Smith

probably Anders Petersen, went to Chicago and had a bar there. Came to NZ to see Peter early in 1900s.

I have had the same problem as you with the Mason side of the family. This is What I have:
Philomena Simon married Joseph Mason, born in Ancola (?) Ind. in about 1831 died there in 1882. This family farmed at Ancola about 12 miles from Ft. Wayne. They had 7 children: John Baptiste b.on 11/20/1856-died in Jonesboro,AR 10/26/32.(this is my branch of the family) Mary, 1859-1943. Joseph Francis 1863-1928. Eugenia Louise?-?. Eugine James 1866-1943. Adeline 1868-1943. Frances Louise 1874-1943.Let me know if any of these ring a bell with you. I have spelled the names the way they were given to me. I'm not sure they are correct. I do have some info on the ones I have listed but not very much.

My husband's great Grandfather was Henry Larkin Hughes
(no dates) mar. Zilphia McCroan(21 Dec. 1843 - 29 Nov 1922) Had 2 children Henry Larkin Hughes(15 Aug 1881- 14 Sept 1941; mar. Evie Vanlandingham) and Angelina Hughes (mar. Joe Bartlet and lived in Calhoun Co. FL)
Henry Larkin Hughes Jr.was raised in Grady Co, GA. and lived his adult life and raised family here.
I did find a Henry L. Hughes in S. C. 1812, I think this was year of birth.
If you have any information on the older Henry Larkin Hughes I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. I'm still looking but can't find anything.
Last week I did find where Zilphia McCroan Hughes was burried along with her dau. and her family. HL Hughes was not there. Thanks

Hi Bill, I have been standing at a brick wall with my children's Roberson ancestors. I pick up Henry Roberson in Georgia in 1840 where he married Sarah Patterson. Seems he and the Patterson family had come from NC, and from GA they went to Tallapoosa County, AL. After the 1850 census he and Sarah disappeared even though I am able to trace descendants to the present day. Can you offer any insight into Henry's origin? Rosanne

This is an awesome sight - especially with the song- I was totally in awe as I scrolled down your list of veterans. I've been gathering up information for over 20 years, but I have no idea how to start a project like you've done here. I am looking for a John Nelson - all I know about him is what my grandfather told me before he died in 1980. I know that my g-g-grandfather was George Nelson, born 1812 in TN, married Nancy Tussey 1838 in Claiborne Co., TN. My grandfather thought that the above George's father was George and his father was John. He thought they were in N.C. before they came to TN and on to Floyd CO., KY.
I have been stumped on the 1812 George for 23 years.
Anyway, your site is just inspiring. My dad and 4 of his brothers were veterans - my husband served two tours in Vietnam and so did one of his brothers - he had two brothers in the Air Force and two in the Army. He was in the USNavy. My brother is a veteran.
My nephew is in the army - he was in Korea but is now in Hawaii. So, I found your website at an appropriate time to remember and to honor all those I just mentioned. Right before my grandfather Hiland Nelson died, he called all his family to the hospital. He wanted to tell us how much he loved God and his country. It was when Reagan and Carter were running for president. He was a kind, humble man, and he said,
"I believe Jimmy Carter is a good man, but...I love my country...and I think Reagan will be a better president. I want you all to go vote." This was what he wanted to discuss as he was dying - his love for God and his Country. I will never forget that. I just intended to make a comment on your remarkable site, but I think your music inspired me to keep typing. God Bless America.
Be Blessed,
Karen Nelson Marcum

Very well done, thought I would connect but did not see a familiar name. One of my main lines is Brecht/Bright who also settled in Berk , PA. Two sons and a mother came over from a small town in Palatinate called Schreissheim in 1726. One of the other main lines is Gilbert but not enough information to connect.

The Gilbert line is a tough one for me. Several other cousins have connected with me on the internet and in person and we are all stuck on 1816. My gggrandfather William Riley Gilbert was born in Tenn. in 1816 and we believe his family came from S.C. He married Louise Foster in 1836 in Lawrence Tenn.. We have every thing from thereafter but nothing before. Thank you for providing such a nice web site to review.

Bill, I know you don't remember me but I became a Huckabee when I married Paul. Yes, that's Wayne's first cousin who's father was Dalton. Gussie is still living and doing well for her age. She still cooks for Blake and just celebrated her 95 birthday. I think. If I am wrong on that figure I will let you know. I miss Alene since she moved into a residential home. We are going to see her soon. Enjoyed your web page so much!

Wonderful page! I am inspired, I didn't say motovaited ... inspired! I am working on a page with gif's of family head stones.
I found your page by your invitaion. I am researching "CAPEHART" and have heard family rumors that the family name
used to be "Gebhardt". Any input would be helpful. On the "other side" of my tree is: Stewart/Cozad/Pearse. Happy hunting all :)

Great website! I hope I'm related as I'm a true southerner at heart. Born in the "south"....southeast Pennsylvania that is, but have lived 6 years in Columbia, South Carolina and loved it. Truly wish I'd been born in SC. No surnames match...yet...I'm still at the beginning of my search. However, on my maternal side is the name PICKELL and I have been told it may have been BICKEL(L) long ago so maybe we are kin! Blessings, from Lancaster, PA

Very nice and I plan on returning when time permits. Am researching PA, Berks and Schulykill counties, but did not find their names among yours, except for Kramer which I could not connect with. My husband was born in Frackville PA. in 1936.
However, I did find that I connect with you through my Hungerford and Peverell lines and you have quite a few other surnames that I also have in my line. I was born in CT in 1937 and have been quite lucky as my mother's family pretty much stayed in the area. My father's family had got me at a stand still, needing some Canadian information and also Ireland and Wales. I just keep telling myself that it will come together soon.

Best,

I too come from the long line of Schwalm's who were either figntin' or farmin'. I currently am serving in the US Marines

helps drive home the point to the next generation. Here is an interesting fact. Johannes increased his first farm more than tenfold.
I did a comparison chart between him and George Washington, who only increased his farm by tenfold. It is a fun fact 24 acres to
252 acres as compared to Washington's 1000 acres to 8000 acres!

Jim Blass <[email protected]>
Veddy Interesting! You sure have done a lot of work. Your name Hughes, interested me. My parents had a best freind, William Earl Hughes. He is buried in the family plot in Michigan. He was born in MI near Traverse City so I don't believe there is any connection to your family until way back. He was a big gruf lovable man. My "Uncle" Bill. He was not of our family line. His Father and my Dad's father played ball in the Western Michigan area before 1900. Anyway, Uncle Bill never spoke of it to my memory, but, I have found that he was a member of the Lafayette FLYING Corp, not the Escadrille. But he served in DeHavalind bombers with the French until the end of the war. Because he had no time in the American armed services his grave is not marked. Couldn't be a member of the American Legion or VFW.
Just another interesting sidebar to life.

Hi,
We may be related but as yet I haven't determined how. I may have a dozen or so surnames in my father's maternal family ancestors that are the same line as yours. I just recently was made aware of the West family of Massachusetts, one of whom married into my grandmother's family way back in the late 1600s. I haven't had time to confirm the information so I may be a little premature in my assumption. After further checking, I'll let you know.

looks like a great site and I intend to explore it completely. I am looking for my Hughes family who are

the Titanic) on the Adriatic and entered through Ellis Island. I know I have cousins in the Sittingborne area
but my family lost contact with them after my grandfather, George Hughes' death in 1964. Last letter was
from his 70 yr old sister Ivy. Any Hughes reader who recognizes this family, I would love to have contact.

I wonder about my Mayberry's sometimes. Supposedly they came from Germany. But I'm not so sure. Thanks for sharing your site.

Just checked to see if there was a connection to my WEST. We are from Southern Ohio (Highland Co.) and have roots there dating back to the mid 1880's or earlier. Only I can't seem to get any further than my great grandfather (James) or his father (James). Too many West with the same first name. Going to visit home this summer and hope to do some serious research. Cindy

I got your page address from Barbara Mahaffey. My Great Grandfather was William Mahaffey, brother to John Alexander Mahaffey. John was husband to Sally C. D. Truesdell. William and John were sons of William K. Mahaffey. According to a letter from one of John's sons, William K. was killed by a runaway team of horses. I think that happened around 1880, but haven't been able to confirm it. My Great Grandfather William married Christian Johnson and relocated to the Calhoun County, AL, area from the Kershaw County area following his father's death. I'm interested in any information you have on the Mahaffey family. Please visit my web page and let me hear from you. Thanks.

I am researching the LITCHFIELD family that was back and forth from Horry County, SC and Brunswick County, NC. This is my wife's family. She is from Savannah, Ga. Andrew J. Litchfield was born in Horry County in 1822 and died in 1906 in Berkeley County. He is buried with his second wife Matilda at Berea Methodist Church Cemetery. I think his father may have been John Litchfield, who died abt 1780 in Horry County. He was one of the few Litchfield's there the correct age--my only reason. I'm trying to connect A. J. and John and continue the line; and learn more about the Litchfield family in SC. Thanks, Al

Hi, Bill, I saw your website noted in one of your postings to the Schuylkill Co. list and have enjoyed
exploring it. You have done a fine job. I was especially interested in the Medal of Honor recipient
Richard Hobson Hilton, 118th Inf. 30th Div. at Brancourt. I have compiled a book for my family of my
father's memoirs of World war I. He was in the 119th Inf., 30th Div.. and was involved in the Breaking
of the Hindenberg Line on Sep 19 and was at Brancourt on Oct. 12 I thought that was quite a
coincidence. His Sgt., Milo Lemert, also received the Medal of Honor, posthumously, for action
on Sep 29 at Bellicourt, and his best friend, Litton Thurman, received the Distinguished Service Cross
for action at the same place. Did your relative receive his training at Camp Sevier like my father?

I'm so glad you have been able to find so many of your ancesetors. My mother' aunt BURNED two trunks full of land grants, deeds,letters, some from Andrew Jackson to her gggrandfahter, David Rounsavall who was sent to Build and defend Ft. Nashboro, she burned her father's Not So Civil War uniform & medals AND Four or Five Family Bibles. She burned my heritage. So far, I have not been able to find out anything about my mother's family other than David Rounsavall. He fought Indians in the Holston Valley of VA in 1776 and in 1778/79 went on Col Donaldson's Flotilla to Build & Defend Ft. Nashboro, TN

My father's lines are mostly from South Carolina - DuBose, Warren, Norwood, Fort & Williams. I do believe the Williams' were placed here by Aliens as I cannot find the parents of my 3rd ggrandfather, Ira E. Williams, who m. Mary Norwood Fort in Darlington, SC in 1822.

I hope this finds you as well as can be. I definitely know about the heart problems as both my husband and father were heart patients. Have a nice week.

Interesting and well-organized page; unfortunately, I found no NELSON clues leading to g-gf Thomas Nelson, b abt 1804 in SC, actual date and place unknown, to parents (names unknown) who were both later listed as b in SC. First record of Thomas: 1850 census of Benton County, AL, with wife Nancy (Penix) and family listed correctly up to that time. He moved to Arkansas in 1857 and helped organize Craighead County (AR) and served as the first county treasurer. Twenty-plus years of looking has not produced any clues as to Thomas Nelson's ancestry.

I liked it. It had everything and was easy on the eyes and it was easy to understand.. I have Nelson in my family tree also. Great Grandfather was Laurell Byron Nelson. He didn't like his name so he went by Byron most of the time. Sometimes he would use john or dan. On his wedding application he gave his fathers name as J.M. NELSON and his mother's name as M.A. DUNN. He said that he was born in Keithsburg.IL . Also said his father came fome Scotland on 1925 IA. state census. If you hear of any nelson's that would fit in this family I would love to be notified. Almost forgot to tell you that Byron was born May 07,1854 D. Sept.15,1934 and was Mar, to BRIDGET SCANLON on May 14,1881.Thank you Betty Harney.

Hi Bill,

We've talked before. I just read about your HUGHESes from Wales > PA. I think my HUGHESes are from
Wales and they settled in Spring Twp. Centre Co. PA. Henry HUGHES b. ca 1785 was a charcoal maker.
He may have had at least one brother named Patrick (who shows up in the 1815 Spring Twp. Assessment).
You can view my HUGHES connection at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~paroth/ -

You sure have a lot of ancestors. I have about a dozen and a half or so I have found or been made aware of. If I get as many as you have this will take the rest of my life to document.
It is a nice website. I only noticed one name so far although I think I could easily have missed a few. There is a Schweitzer listed. When I clicked on her name it went back but I didn't get to her parents. Do you have them and do you have her husbands name?

Thanks,

Hi Bill, I live in Sumter County, SC. You have a very fine site with much infomation and easy access!
Don't know if this is place to leave query but here goes: Isaac Baker born 1757 married Hannah Houston
1780 in Greene County, NC/TN. John "Renta" Baker & Elizabeth Terrill had a son Isaac born 1757 in
Chowan, NC. I believe these two Isaac Baker's are the same person. Seeking information as to what
became of Isaac the son of John "Renta" & Elizabeth Terrill Baker. For what became of my Isaac see

I saw your message on the Schuykill surname mailing. I am researching the name Zerby for my Sister-in-law. Her grandfather was John William Zerby born about 1866 in Dauphin Co. PA. to Aaron and Amanda Hoffman Zerby.
Aaron had grandchildren who married into the Moyer and Shadle or Shadel families. I just recently discovered Who John William's parents were. He left PA when he was 18 and went to Douglas County, Ks where he married, and later participated in Okla. Land Run and settled in Garfield Co, Ok. Would Love to exchange info with you.

Have been trying to trace the West line back from Hillsboro, Ohio. ggrandfather was Joseph West (1850-1931) May have also been called Jade. Think his parents are Jas. and Rebecca McCoy West. Not living in area so going to county offices hard. Highland Co. doesn't seem to have much on line. This area is southwestern Ohio, about 60 miles east of Cincinnati. I believe that the family was in the area at that time. Farm my parents passed to us was owned by our "line" for over 100 years. Have never heard that there is a German connection but would like to know if you have any connection. thanks, Cindy

This was a very interesting page. Thanks for informing me. My husbands great-grandfather was Michael Paul McGowan born in Ireland in 1842. My husbands mother, Virginia McGowan, daughter of Joe McGowan b 1875, son of Michael, married Adolph Stein. So you paternal surnames caught my attention. However, I don't think we have a match.

Great job. I especially enjoyed the Patriotic sites. We need more of these types of sites
to remind this younger generation of why they have the rights they do and the high cost
to keep these rights. My connection doesn't seem to be along your lines. Mine changed
their spelling to Megowan and I am having a hard time locating them. I'll just keep clicking along :))

Bill, I love the sense of honest pride you have regarding your family.I also see your awe at finding so many of them and your happiness at being able to share them and their
achievements with others. We share two surnames..BRAUN and DIETRICH. My family is from
Pennsylvania too and my forebear Peter Mueller/Miller was a Hessian who became a soldier for
the other side.
He married a Mary Braun in 1788 in Trinity Lutheran Church, Reading, Pa.Don't know her parents'
names. My Dietrichs are from NE.Pa.and came there in the early 1700's.Elizabeth Dietrich m. David Tillman.
Can't seem to place her amidst the huge Dietrich clan of that area and time.(ca. 1848)
Let me know if there's any connection, will you? And in the meantime, good luck. Your site is
beautiful and your research inspiring!

You have a very nice home page going. I liked the links to the Mayflower Compact and the other documents.
McGowan is in your paternal side. I really doubt we have any connections because as far as I know my grandfather
Michael McGowan came from Ireland. I do not have any information on him at all; only that he died in NYC in 1906. He was
killed in a trolley car accident; he worked for the trolley company. He must have been young as my grandmother was 26 when he was killed.
He had three young children. I do know that he had a sister, Ellen. All the relatives I know of were all Irish.

His father was James Leonard King who was a Civil War soldier and born in Johnson Count Iowa. We cannot find out about his parents due to he was orphaned at a young age. Something to do with his parents and two other siblings drowned.
My mother is Barbara Lorene Hughes Vanzant. Her father was James Dave Hughes. I have no idea where they originated from but we have many relatives with the Hughes name from your area.

Well done - I like it. My mother's maiden name was Gay, but not the same branch as yours. Old Henry Gay was transported from England in 1764 and fought in the Revolution and the War of 1812. Very few, if any, of the Gays from [email protected] are part of this line. Most of the Gays are from the New England Group or the IOW, VA and SC branches. My Henry spent part of his life in Frederick, MD and PA and the last 10 years or so (he died ab 1833) in Ohio. I have a track on several of his son's branches. You can see my Gay members at my Family Tree Home Page site and its Gay linked page. I am retired (30 years) active Army - I finished as the Army's Chief Dentist.

Dear Bill, having the names Johannes Schwalm and Maria
Ottilie Bobb in your family tree makes me believe that
you are indeed related to the Johannes Schwalm people
of the Johannes Schwalm Historical Association, Inc.,
who published a yearly Journal, and are very active in
Hessian research. I used to be a member of theirs, but
since they seemed to be too much family oriented, I am
not participating anymore, except I am still having
excellent contacts with some of their real experts.
Perhaps it would be a good idea if you let our mailing
list know how your 'Ahnentafel' is set up, starting
with you down to Johannes Schwalm, just that particular
branch. We all would appreciate. Incidentely, I also
have a Bopp in my early 1800's tafel which has eluded
me so far.
All in all, you are doing a great job with your page.
Congratulations. John M.

Bravo, to you and your cousin on this fabulous website. My sincere congratulations. I'll e-mail you later
re a couple of questions on the West genealogy wherein we differ. I'm sure the errors are on my side. It
is heartening to see the line linked. Hope what I sent helped a bit. I do think the reference to Long Grendou
is a misreading of Long Crendon. Someone misread the C as a G and then the n as a u. Same location.
I have not been able to find a Long Grendou--only a Long Crendon there in Bucks.
