On 29 Sep 1664, Anna Barbara Schön was born in Neuenbürg. Let's
take a look at who some of her descendants are. By her first
husband, Johann Thomas Blankenbühler, she had three sons and one
daughter who came to Virginia in 1717. The daughter had married
John Thomas first and in Virginia she married Michael Kaifer.
For starters, we can say that all of the Blankenbühlers
(Blankenbaker, Blankenbeker, Pickler, Blankenbeckler,
Blankenbecler), all of the German Thomases, and all Kaifer heirs
are descendants of her.

from Neuenberg in Krachtal, GERMANY.
The eleven hundred and fifty-second note in a series on the
Germanna Colonies
One of the deed extracts that were recently circulated here (the
first in a sequence of several I believe) is very interesting
even though it fails to indicate the common thread among the
people in the deed. The four names that were mentioned were
Railsback, Holtzclaw (actually two different men), Zimmerman,
and Blankenbaker (again two men) but the deed does not indicate
in any way a factor they have in common. Descendants of these
men all have the ancestress, Anna Barbara Schön. A family that
is a common thread but is not mentioned is the Thomas family.
Let's see how this came about. Anna Maria Blankenbaker married,
first, John Thomas (Sr.) in GERMANY. She was the daughter of
Anna Barbara Schön. Their oldest child was John Thomas, Jr. who,
with his unknown wife, had at least four daughters and perhaps
one son. (The only German John Thomas that we know in the
Germanna community is the Junior and I will call him simply John
Thomas without the Junior designation.)
When John Thomas was getting well along in life, he cut some of
his property up into five parcels. Three of these parcels were
gifts to sons-in-law - Jacob Blankenbaker, who married Mary
Barbara Thomas; Jacob Holtzclaw who married Susannah Thomas;
Joseph Holtzclaw who married Mary Thomas (she died and he
married second Elizabeth Zimmerman). Two of the parcels were a
sale to John Railsback who had married Elizabeth Thomas.
John Railsback had to pay something because he got two parcels
with about twice the land of all of the other sons-in-law. I
believe this came about because John Thomas was planning on
dividing and giving land in five approximately equal parcels but
one heir did not want the land. So John Railsback paid for one
of the five and received one of the five as a gift (it does not
say this in the deed).
I said earlier that the descendants of these men had Anna
Barbara Schön for an ancestress. Then I told you that Joseph
Holtzclaw married secondly Elizabeth Zimmerman. Even her
children had Anna Barbara Schön for an ancestress since
Elizabeth Zimmerman's mother was Ursula Blankenbaker who had
married John Zimmerman. So no matter how you slice it, Anna
Barbara's genes are present in the descendants of these men.
Note that Jacob Blankenbaker was married a second time to Hannah
Weaver. Her mother was Barbara Käfer and Hannah's grandmother
was Anna Maria Blankenbaker who married John Thomas, Sr.
One other man was mentioned in the deed as a witness and that
was Christopher Blankenbaker. Need I say anything more about
him? It is a prime case of keeping it all in the family.
There is more to be said but that will have to wait for the next
note. While waiting, you can mull over why Jacob Holtzclaw and
Joseph Holtzclaw were in the Robinson River Valley. Their home
base is usually considered to be around Germantown in Fauquier
County.

Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume II, I--Fathers of the
Revolution: "Thomas Jefferson son of Peter Jefferson and Jane
Randolph, daughter of Isham Randolph, of "Dungeness," Goochland
county, Virginia, was born at "Shadwell," Albemarle county,
April 2, 1743. Though his father died when he was fourteen years
old, he was thoroughly trained by private tutors. and spent two
years (1760-1762) at William and Mary College. He then studied
law for five years under Chancellor Wythe, in Williamsburg, and
was admitted to the bar when twenty-four years old. In 1769 he
was elected to the house of burgesses from Albemarle, and became
at once one of the group of new men who took the lead in public
affairs. In 1773 he assisted in establishing committees of
correspondence between the colonies, the first step towards
Union. In 1774 he drafted instructions for the Virginia
delegates to the first Congress, assuming the extreme ground
taken by Bland in 1766, and summing up, with trenchant pen, that
easily gave him the first place among American writers, the
rights and wrongs of the continent. This magnificent paper
contained every idea in the Declaration of Independence except
the explicit statement of separation. It was published in
pamphlet form under the title of "a Summary View of the Rights
of British America."
Political events absorbed his attention, and he relinquished his
law practice, which was very extensive. He was a member of the
Virginia convention of March, 1775, and when Patrick Henry made
his motion to organize the militia, Jefferson argued "closely,
profoundly, and warmly on the same side." In the house of
burgesses, June, 1775, he prepared a masterly reply to Lord
North's "Conciliatory Proposition," and soon after, in the
second Congress, to which he was elected June 20, 1775, on the
retirement of Peyton Randolph, he prepared a similar paper as
the answer of that body. He attended the third Congress, which
met in Philadelphia. September 25, 1775, but left before it
adjourned, and did not again present himself till May 13, 1776.
Then, as chairman of a committee, he drafted the Declaration of
Independence, which has immortalized him. On September 2, 1776.
he resigned from Congress and returned home, but Congress,
unwilling to dispense with his services, associated him with Dr.
Franklin and Silas Deane to negotiate treaties of alliance and
commerce with France. This appointment he declined on account of
his wife's declining health, and in October he took his seat in
the house of delegates of Virginia, and applied himself to
reforming the Virginia code. The great series of bills which he
prepared, and which in great part were adopted, concerning the
descent of lands, religion, education and slavery, constitutes a
great monument to his ability and patriotism. In January, 1779,
he succeeded Patrick Henry as governor, and was reelected in
1780. Among his important measures in this office were the
removal of the capital to Richmond, his maintaining Virginia's
quota in Washington's army in the North, and his supplying
General Greene's army in the South with provisions and munitions
of war.
Jefferson narrowly escaped capture when Cornwallis' troops were
so near Charlottesville that the legislature had to adjourn to
Staunton. He declined to apply for a third election to the
governorship in 1781, and employed his leisure in writing his
"Notes on Virginia," a work still regarded most highly. Congress
appointed him one of the commissioners to treat for peace, but
he declined because of the illness of his wife, who died
September 6, 1782. Later he accepted the office of peace
commissioner, but peace was restored before he could sail for
Europe. In 1783 he was elected to Congress, which sat at
Annapolis, May 7, 1784. In this body his most prominent work was
the ordinance for the government of the northwest territory.
Congress again elected him minister, in conjunction with Mr.
Adams and Benjamin Franklin, to negotiate treaties of commerce
with foreign nations. He sailed from Boston, July 5, 1784, and
reached Paris, August 6. On the resignation of Dr. Franklin he
was appointed minister plenipotentiary to France. His three
years there resulted in his arrangement of a satisfactory
consular system between France and the United States. He
meantime traveled extensively in Europe, and became intimate
with many famous scientists, and his "Notes on Virginia,"
appearing in a French translation, won for him great admiration.
In November, 1789, he returned home on a six months leave of
absence, and found awaiting him his appointment as secretary of
state by President Washington, which he accepted. During his
five years service in this office, he distinguished himsell by
many important public reports, but the differences with
Hamilton, secretary of the treasury, grew so acute that
Jefferson resigned, January 1, 1794, Washington vainly
endeavoring to retain him. In September, 1794, Washington urged
him strongly to resume the state secretaryship, but he
positively declined, declaring with emphasis that nothing could
induce him to again engage in the public service. However, in
1796, he was the presidential candidate of the
Democratic-Republican party, and his vote being next largest to
Adams, under the constitution he became vice-president. This
office imposed but light duties, and he gave much of his time to
study and research, and prepared his famous "Manual of
Parliamentary Practice," which has been the principal guide in
Congress to the present day. In 1800 he again became the
candidate of his party for the presidency, but though his vote
in the electoral college was greater than his Federalist
competitor, an equal vote was given to Aaron Burr, whom the
Republicans intended to be vice-president, and the election
under the constitution, as it then stood, came to the house of
representatives. Here after a long continued attempt of the
Federalists to reverse the decision of the people and to place
Burr in the presidency, Jefferson was finally declared
president. In this high office he held to the simplest forms of
conduct, abolishing weekly levees, elaborate precedence, rules,
etc. A signal innovation consisted in his communicating his
messages in writing instead of delivering them in person as
Washington and Adams had done. This continued to be the rule for
all his successors till present conditions having removed the
old objections, President Wilson revived the obsolete practice
of John Adams. His most notable achievement as president was the
purchase of the vast Louisiana territory, which was practically
his own unaided work. Second only in importance to this was his
success in keeping the country from becoming involved in the
European wars. Re-elected in 1804, he retired after the close of
his second term to his home, "Monticello," near Charlottesville,
Virginia. The work of his latter days was the University of
Virginia, which he projected and lived long enough to see in
perfect working order. He superintended every detail, laid down
the plans for all the severely classical buildings, procured the
funds for their erection, and mapped out the collegiate
curricula. At his beautiful mansion, "Monticello," he
entertained the most distinguished men of his day, and there,
after his death, his daughter, Mrs. Randolph, passed the
remainder of her life in ease and comfort, with the aid of
$10,000 gratuity from the states of Virginia and South Carolina,
granted as a tribute to the memory of her illustrious father.
His affairs had become badly involved, and he had been obliged
to sell to Congress his valuable library for about one-fourth of
its cost. He died July 4, 1826, and was buried at "Monticello,"
where his grave was marked with a stone bearing the following
inscription written by himself: "Here was buried Thomas
Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, of the
Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and Father of the
University of Virginia." This was afterwards replaced with a
massive pillar erected by the government of the United States,
and bearing the same inscription. From the day of his death to
the present time, no other public man has been so often quoted.
In originality of mind, versatility of talent, general sweep of
intellect, universality of knowledge, power over men, and
conception of the rights of mankind, he stood easily head and
shoulders above all his great contemporaries. Washington alone
surpassed him in moral force."

governor of Virginia, he advocated a humanitarian liberalism and
was elected president in 1801. His humanitarianism profoundly
influenced Thoreau and Whitman. His original headstone from his
grave at Monticello was presented to the University of Missouri
because they were the first state university to be founded in
the Louisiana Purchase while Jefferson was president. (bio by:
