----------
From DeWayne B. Johnson on 15 Jun 2010:

I think my nickname "Doc" dates back at least 75 years, perhaps to 1935. I was 15 years old. My older brother Clifford and I worked on my uncle's (George M. Talbot Dairy) dairy ranch in Burbank. Neither of us milked cows but we did almost everything else -- washing bottles, pasteurizing and bottling milk, churning of buttermilk, pitching hay, mucking out the muck, and much more. Clifford called me "Doc" and I called him "Joe." Uncle George had a hay ranch out east (?) of Lancaster and pasture land down near Irvine. I rode mules and horses in the course of my work. Fell off more than once, brushed off by low-hanging branches. Otherwise, I am no horseman!

Clifford's nickname never stuck, but mine remained with me even up to today! I earned a real doctorate at UCLA in mass communications and education in 1955. Throughout my professional career as a journalist and professor of journalism, my colleagues and students have hailed me as "Doc." They still do. It feels good to be one of them and not an outsider!

I run the risk of bragging a bit -- two Pulitzer Prizes with a select few on the LATimes editorial staff, and twice honored by the California Publishers Association as THE outstanding professor of journalism in the state of California. (Oh, I am shameless!) So I may be something of a legend, my ego says, but that truly remains to be seen.

  Third Generation  

4. Alexander L Johnson,^{6 9 10 11} son of John Jacob Johnson and Mary B. Jensen, was born on 28 Sep 1885 in Seward Co., Nebraska, United States, died on 30 May 1930 in North Platte, Lincoln, Nebraska, United States at age 44, and was buried on 3 Jun 1930 in Hope Cemetery, Newman Grove, Madison, Nebraska, United States. The cause of his death was Heart attack resulting from ptomaine poisoning. Other names for Alexander were Alex Johnson and Alexander Johnson.

Death Notes: From obituary in Newman Grove, Nebraska, newspaper: "The community was shocked and saddened Friday morning by the news of the sudden death of Alex Johnson while he was visiting relatives at North Platte. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and family left here on Saturday, May 24 for a visit with her sister and her family at North Platte. On Thursday Mr. Johnson was taken very sick with ptomanine [sic] poisoning. A physician was called and he began to improve. Friday morning he was able to be up, but complained of a headache and was lying down. Mrs. Johnson had gone to another room to get some medicine for his headache and was gone only a very short time but when she returned he had passed away. Physicians were called, but could do nothing, death being due to a sudden heart attack."

General Notes: Occupation: Carpenter. From obituary in Newman Grove, Nebraska newspaper: "...They established their home in Newman Grove [in 1912] and have resided her continuously ever since. During these years he has built many of the buildings in both the town and vicinity and was considered a thorough conscientious workman, of pleasant and kindly disposition of whom only good was spoken."

From DeWayne B. Johnson's book "I Have Met a Lot of Generals," 2007:

"(The 'L' in my father's name was not an initial because that was the 'name' and hence takes no period.)...

"Today the mini-park near downtown [Newman Grove] includes the bandstand where my father played oboe in the town band...

"That is the man I tagged along with to his woodshop down near the granary. From that woodshop I still smell the gragrant homemade glues in their heating pots, I see the wood grains from rare specimens that went into carefully crafted table tops, bowls, cabinetry, and hear the scrabbling of tiny rodent feet fleeing for cover when the doors we opened.

"I tagged along as he walked the streets in town, greeted heartily by everyone he met. I know now that as a carpenter he built many of the buildings, homes, in town and surrounding vicinities."

DeWayne B. Johnson wrote of him on 8/17/1986:

"His hands were heavily wrinkled, tanned, scarred; his fingernails were ragged and never seemed quite rid of the residue of the day's labors. The brown, blood-clot areas under the nails were evidence of the beating the hands took as he hammered, pried, used his sinewy strength to build homes, schools, churches, and his artistic touch on fine cabinetry, delicate inlaid wooden trays, a variety of carved or lathe-turned items that would today be labeled 'examples of wood artisans, Early American Primitive to Post-World War I.'

"This carpenter's hands were gentle. To a small boy's hands they were tremendous, warm and snug retreats during proud walks on the streets of Newman Grove, Nebraska, where Alexander L Johnson was known far and wide as 'Alex.' (The 'L' had no period' it stood for nothing. To those who insisted it had to stand for 'something,' a concession was made: Lloyd, or possibly Loyd. One 'L' or two, it made no difference because truly it stood for nothing.

"I remember those hands as he warmly shook hands of others during those prized walks: Alex was clearly loved, respected by everyone, those townfolks with the funny foreign-sounding names...

"It flits through my mind to recall his hands, the dancing fingers as he played the oboe in the town band during its summertime concerts in the park band shell. And the strong, mascuiline right hand and the convincingly feminine left hand as 'Alex' costumed himself half male and half female for some annual celebration and parade down Main Street.

"Alex and his skills were in great demand; it is likely that some of the rural schools he built -- some of them single-handedly -- still stand today in some corners of Nebraska where Alex Johnson has long been forgotten. And Alex Johnson's houses absolutely remain, with their fashionable gingerbread of the time, and the curved staircases with their fancy railings, the hardwood floors, the weighted window sashes, and the trademark cabinetry.

"Alex had a hand in building the brick schools of Newman Grove, primary grads and high school For a short period he even taught wood shop at the high school (probably as a substitute teacher)...

"The lights went out for a 10-year-old boy on a spring day in 1930 when his father died in a farm house at North Platte, Nebraska.

"The bewilderment remains to this day -- one day so much alive, so much enjoying the fishing, the catching, the eating, and the next day quiet whispers, somber tip-toeing so as not to disturb. (The doctor surmised the death was caused by ingesting spoiled fish.) The return to Newman Grove on a bright Sunday morning, the church bells ringing, and still the 10-year-old could not understand."

Research Notes: Middle initial L does not stand for anything. It is simply L without a period. It may not be on his birth certificate.

Medical Notes: Per DeWayne Johnson 8/17/86: "...my own father died at the North Platte farm house that had been [that of Absolom Owen Talbot, Jr. and his wife Margaret Burrows Talbot]." From obituary in Newman Grove newspaper around 5/31/1930: "Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and family left here on Saturday, May 24 for a visit with her sister and her family at North Platte. On Thursday Mr. Johnson was taken very sick with ptomanine [sic][ poisoning. A physician was called and he began to improve. Friday morning he was able to be up, but complained of a headache and was lying down. Mrs. Johnson had gone to another room to get some medicine for his headache and was gone only a very short time but when she returned he had passed away. Physicians were called, but could do nothing, death being due to a sudden heart attack."

• Moved: from Nebraska to Iowa, 1897, Iowa, United States. Moved with parents to Iowa at age 11. Lived there for 10 years.

• Census: 8 Jun 1900, Palo Alto, Iowa, United States.

• Moved: from Iowa to Polk, Nebraska, 1907, Polk, Polk, Nebraska, United States. From obituary in Newman Grove, Nebraska, newspaper: "...[In 1907] he went to the new town of Polk, Nebraska where he worked at his trade as a carpenter for five years."

• Moved: from Polk, Nebraska to Newman Grove, Nebraska, 1912. After marriage, moved to Newman Grove, Nebraska and resided there until his death [in 1930].

• Completed: School Building in Platte Co. School District 61, 1927, [near Lindsay], Platte, Nebraska. From Platte County NEGenWeb Project Page (http:///www.rootsweb.com/~neplatte/61h.html):
"This building in which we are gathered this evening to dedicate to the use of educating the children of District 61 is a result of the activities of the foregoing committee. It is a building 26 by 40, with 12 foot ceiling, main part with grade entrance, full basement, modern heating and lighting, building by Alex Johnson and Harry Farrar with members of the district working when they could, at an approximate cost of $4,500.

"School was held for the first day in the new building Jan. 31, [1927]..."

General Notes: From DeWayne B. Johnson's book "I Have Met a Lot of Generals," 2007:

"I remember her heating gladirons in the oven and ironing clothing and linens by the light of kerosene lanterns. That same oven turned out freshly baked bread unlike any found in the markets of today...

"My mother played the piano for pleasure--hers and the family's. I can also hear the tinkling notes of 'Angel Voices Ever Near'--and weep at the memory.

"She died in 1942 at age 49 in Long Beach, Calif. She should be remembered for many things (pecan pies!), but a couple of memories stand out.

"There were the Saturday night family baths in that big galvanized tub in the kitchen, filled with hot water from the top of the wood stove. My turn came late and the water was fairly well saturated with [grime] of the weeke when my turn arrived. I never saw my parents as they bathed spared major destruction."
---------
Son DeWayne B. Johnson wrote of his mother, Lula Mae, on 8/17/1986:

"The 12 years of widowhood -- it seems a short time now but a long time then in the context of a boy growing through the teens -- for my mother were mostly years spent scraping to stay alive, taking in boarders, working on my uncle's [George M. Talbot's] dairy ranch, slaving at Jergen's soap factory. She even worked for a time as cook and housekeeper for the movie stars Frances Dee and Joel McCrea.

"Very soon after Alex's death the 37-year-old widow, three children, cousin Owen Mulholland made their way across country in the Model A Ford open touring car to California, Burbank. We came at the invitation of Uncle George M. Talbot, owner of the Talbot Dairy.

"Of that trip, the rust-orange dust accumulated while crossing Arizona evokes the strongest memory. There were flat tires, how many I have no way of recalling...

"Lula and Aunt Fannie Talbot belonged to the Bon Ami social club, primarily devoted to bridge. (The tagalong youngsters popped popcorn and played street games: tag, run sheep run, hide and seek, totally inocuous by today's standards.) Most of the Bon Ami members were married couples. It was that group that constituted the bulk of Lula's contacts, leading to the job at Jergens soap and to acquaintanceship with widower Frank Joanis, a Burbank grocer.

"Their dating continued for several years until Joanis quite suddenly married another woman whom he had recently met.

"The move to Long Beach was occasioned by supposed house maid opportunities that never materialized...

"My mother died at 49, the victim of a fad starvation diet that was supposed to reduce the size of a goiter, more imaginary than real (Real enough but of no consequence.)

"She was a loving mother, ill-equipped to help a young man, Clifford, and a growing boy, DeWayne, to understand the changes in their male bodies...

"To put things a bit into historical perspective, World War II was well along when Lula died. The Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor had occurred six months previous, Dec. 7, 1941. Lorna and I were married on Aug. 22, 1942, soon after her death in June."

Noted events in her life were:

• Census: 12 Jun 1900, Pleasant Home Precinct, Polk, Nebraska, United States. ¹⁶ Lulu M. Talbot Daughter W F b. Aug 1892 Nebraska 7 Single

• Moved: Moved to Newman Grove, Nebraska, Abt 1912, Newman Grove, Madison, Nebraska, United States. The first home of Alex and Lula Mae was "recently vacated by Conrad Erickson" according to a clipping from the [Newman Grove?] newspaper at the time.

• Moved: Moved to Burbank, California from Nebraska, Fall 1930, Burbank, Los Angeles, California, United States.

• Moved: Moved to Long Beach, California, 1941, Long Beach, Los Angeles, California, United States.

Lula married Alexander L Johnson ^{6 9 10 11} on 12 Feb 1912 in Grand Island, Hall, Nebraska, United States.

--------
Excerpts from short autobiography by Edward H. Wallace dated 4 May 1920:

"Born in a log house on a rented farm, near Ponsonby, P.O., Pilkington Tp., Wellington Co., Ontario, Canada, April 16, 1872. Children preceding, Maud, now wife of Dr. H. H. Healy, Grand Forks, North Dakota; William Havelock, executive secretary Y.M.C.A., Los Angeles. Following, Ernest Hazlewood, Attorney, New Orleans, Lewis Herbert, President First National Bank, Newport Beach, California; Charles Horace, Cashier same bank at time of death, February, 1914. In 1879 family removed to Elora [Wellington Tp, Wellington Co., Ontario, Canada], five miles distant. November 1880 to Lincoln, Nebraska residing on a farm ten miles distant until February , 1881 when removed to Drayton, North Dakota, the family exchequer consisting of $2.40. Father filed on pre-emption one mile from town to which family removed in April and mother died the next month. Three years later father returned to Canada and married Mary Larter, mother's particular friend. To this union came Gertrude, who died at the age of two years Ella Irene, in 1887 and Maxwell Raymond, 1890.

"The railroad came to Drayton in 1887. In September, 1887 went with older brother [William H. Wallace] to Hamline University, St. Paul [Minnesota], where brother had been a short time the previous year. In December father sold his land and other property at Drayton to go to Pasadena, California and go into business with his brothers Albert and Frank who had preceded him. Will and Ed joined the party in Minneapolis. Father, after arriving, decided otherwise, bought other farms at Drayton and returned in March, 1888. Will and Ed helped with the farm work and returned to Hamline in the fall. Thus they continued until they finished the preparatory course, Ed working for the Nebraska Telephone Company in Lincoln, Nebraska, for fifteen months. Both returned to Hamline and were graduated together in 1895. Both worked hard throughout the course supplementing the assistance their father could give them. The summer of [18]93 Will was conductor on street-car line in St. Paul and Ed sold papers and collected and distributed laundry at the race-track of the State Fair Grounds. In December 1895 Ed took an office position with the Amenia and Sharon Land Co. at Amenia, North Dakota, setting about diligently to learn the grain business. In 1898 he enlisted in the North Dakota regiment for Philippine service but was disqualified because of physical defect and returned to his work at Amenia. That summer he went to Prescott, Wisconsin to ask Eleanor Dill to marry him. When they were in college together he thought he loved her but went out to get started in business and learn for sure. When they found that love was mutual, things took the usual course. They became engaged July 28th and were married the following July 27th. Eleanor's Uncle, M. T. Dill, had grown old in the grain business at Prescott and, to be relieved of some of the burden, invited Wallace to join with him and two of his old-time Employees in the M. T. Dill Grain Company. This partnership was effected August 1, 1900 and continued for eight years. Here four children were born to the couple-Jean, July 10, 1900;' John Donald, July 8, 1903; Marjorie, March 23, 1905 and William Dill January 5, 1907...

"To Long Beach, California the family removed in July, 1908 where he took a position in the Exchange National Bank which had been organized by his brother Will. He was soon made Assistant Cashier and Director. From this position he went to the Marine Commercial and Savings Bank as Vice President in January, 1916. This bank was then about two years old, had deposits of $300,000, and was paying no dividends. Now it has deposits of two and a half millions, is paying ten percent and earning much more.

"Another child, Eleanor Thompson, was born into this family January 16, 1914."

Birth Notes: From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunenburg_District%2C_Ontario):
Eastern District was one of four districts of Upper Canada created in 1788 . It comprised the St. Lawrence-Quebec border area, now eastern Ontario. It was originally named Lunenburg District, likely for the Brunswick-Lüneburg , but was renamed in 1792. It was abolished in 1849.
The district was originally bounded to the west by a line running north from the mouth of the Gananoque River and to the east by Lower Canada . The district town was New Johnstown, later renamed Cornwall . In 1798, the district was reorganized to consist of the counties of:
Dundas
Glengarry
Ontario (abolished in 1800)
Prescott
Russell
Stormont
In 1849, the district was replaced by the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry .

Christening Notes: May have been baptized in the Free Presbyterian Church, Lunenburg (same as the Church of Scotland?).

Death Notes: Death date from "Decree Establishing Death of Joint Tenant" dated 15 Aug 1944.

Research Notes: Written evidence in Lorna Doone Wallace (Johnson) collection does not show Poapst spelled "Paupst." However, a postcard from Edith to her motherdated 19 February 1907, addresses her as "Mrs. Helen Poaps." Later family records and photographs consistently have "Poapst."

  Fourth Generation  

8. John Jacob Johnson,^{9 15 33 34} son of Lauritz Jorgensen and Anna Dorothea Caroline Caspersen, was born on 15 Aug 1854 in Bov (Bau), Aabenraa, Sønderjylland (Schleswig-Holstein), Denmark, was christened on 27 Aug 1854 in Bov, Schlesvig, Denmark, died on 29 Sep 1929 in Fort Dodge, Webster, Iowa, United States at age 75, and was buried in Humboldt, Humboldt, Iowa, United States. Other names for John were George J. Johnson, George Othmar Johnson, and Jorgen Jacob Jorgensen.

Birth Notes: 1900 Census has John J Johnson and his parents born in Germany. Mary reported born in Denmark. Census has born August 1844, which differs from the obituary. His obituary has his birthdate as 15 August 1854. Mark Johnson has a source with 27 August 1854. It is my guess that 27 August 1854 was the date of his christening.

Obituary says "Bau, Denmark," but there is no such place. However, "Bau" is the German for Bov in Sonderjylland (South Jutland) county on the Jutland peninsula in south Denmark. The main town is Padborg. Since Bau/Bov was held by Germany from 1864 to 1920, that explains the discrepancy. Bov was Danish at the time John Jacob was born.

The city of Bov (German Bau) in the area of Flensborg in Denmark was the site of the Battle of Bov, which began the First Schleswig War on 9 April 1848. Schleswig-Holstein was trying to separate from Denmark. Danish troops defeated a combined force of German, Austrian and Prussian troops. The First Schleswig War lasted from 1848 through 1851, resulting in a Danish victory. The Second Schleswig War erupted on 1 February 1864, when Prussian forces crossed the border into Schleswig. That war ended on 30 October 1864, when Denmark ceded the duchies of Schleswig, Holstein and Saxe-Lauenburg to Prussia and Austria. The Schleswig Plebiscites in 1919 and 1920 resulted in the return of the Aabenraa district to Denmark.

General Notes: Grandson DeWayne B. Johnson wrote about his grandfather Johnson thus on 8/17/1986:

"I have a darker image of my father's father [than his memory of his Talbot grandparents], both dark and dim. He died when I was 9 [in 1929] but I truly can't say I remember him remotely well. Grandmother Johnson was a sterner figure, in my memory, than Grandmother Talbot. I feel now that what I did as a boy often seemed to displease her. I know I was supposed to care for her but I am not at all sure that I did.

"As with Grandparents Talbot, we also visited those grandparents but I cannot conjure up a good image of their home except for a romanticized notion of Tiffany-type lamps; etched-glass front, side and back doors; screened porch for summertime sleeping and that's about it."

Research Notes: Eldest son of Laurtiz and Caroline Johnson.

The Iowa marriage record for Minnie Johnson and Daniel Urquhart at FamilySearch.org gives Minnie's father as George Johnson (mother Mary Johnson). Although J. J. Johnson's obituary gives his name as J. J. Johnson, and family records have John Jacob Johnson, other sources indicate that he was also known as George J. Johnson. His obituary has John J. Johnson. He appeared as John J. Johnson in the 1910 Census.

Mark Johnson's research has found his name as Jorgen Jacob Jorgensen (Possiblly after Lauritz's and Caroline's fathers). Birth records list J.J.'s father as Lauritz Jorgensen, born Denmark. Mother listed as Anna Dorothea Caroline Caspersen, born Denmark.

Obituary <Fort Dodge or Paton, Iowa> reads:
Obituary of John J. Johnson

John Jacob Johnson was the eldest son of Lauritz and Caroline Johnson and was born in Bau, Denmark on August 15, 1854, and passed away at the Mercy hospital in Fort Dodge, Iowa, on Sept. 29, 1929, at the age of 75 years, 1 month and 15 days.

He was ill at his home in Paton for six weeks when his condition became such that it was necessary to take him to the hospital for special treatment, but little could be done to relieve him.

The funeral services were held at Humboldt last Thursday afternoon. Many from West Bend and Rodman were in attendance.

He was confirmed in the Danish Luthern faith at 16 years of age. In 1881 he came to America with his parents, who settled near Gilmore City, Ill. The following year he became a citizen of the United States.

At the age of thirty years he was married to Mary Johnson on Dec. 22, 1883. To this union ten children were born, all living with the exception of two who passed away in infancy.

He farmed for a number of years in Nebraska and in 1897 came to Iowa where he farmed at West Bend and Rodman. In 1912 he retired and moved to Rodman, later moving to California. Five years ago Mr. and Mrs. Johnson came to Paton, Iowa, where they have since made their home with their daughter, Mrs. O. E. Pearson. He was devoted to his family always thinking of their welfare. He was temperate in his habits and a good example to his family and to those about him. There remains to mour his loss his loving wife and eight devoted children; also six brothers and four sisters and thirteen grandchildren. The children are: John C. Johnson, Chas. J. Johnson, Mrs. Hannah Shriner, all of Long Beach, Cal.; Alex L. Johnson, Newman Grove, Nebr.; Caroline K. Klinge, Curlew, Iowa; Mrs. Minnie Urquhart, Rodman; Wm. J. Johnson, Plover; and Mrs. Mary Pearson, Paton, Iowa.

And now the time has come when hosts of friends far and near have been called upon to part with an esteemed friend and a loving husband and father.

Although the parting has come he has left us with an assurance that he has faith in us in whom he has believed and trusted that we will carry on to successful completion the work he has been forced to leave unfinished. The thought of him watching us from the ramparts of heaven should be an inspiration to us as friends and relatives to carry on reverently and sincerely and to make the outstanding characteristics of his life, which were faith in all things good, honesty and punctuality in all his walks of life and then his benediction will be: "All things whatsoever you would that men should do unto you do ye even so to them."

Medical Notes: From Obituary in newspaper: "He was ill at his home in Paton for six weeks when his condition became such that it was necessary to take him to the hospital for special treatment, but little could be done to relieve him."

Noted events in his life were:

• Religion: Lutheran.

• Alt. Birth: 30 Aug 1854. Obituary in Humboldt, Iowa newspaper says 30 Aug 1854. Do not know source of 30 Aug 1854 date.

• Confirmation: Confirmed in Danish Lutheran faith, 1870, Denmark. According to obituary, was confirmed in the Danish Lutheran fait at 16 years of age.

• Emigration: Emigrated from Denmark to United States, 1880 or 1881, Illinois, United States. Emigrated as a child with his parents [or entire family].

(e.g., the 1900 census).The obituary says they "settled near Gilmore City, Illinois." This may have actually been Gibson City, Illinois.

A Lauritz Johnson and wife Caroline Casper settled in Gibson City, Illinois, having emigrated in 1880. It is possible that the obituary got the story slightly wrong. Descendants of that family believe that the family was originally from the Schleswig-Holstein region, which adjoins Denmark on the south. This is the region in which John Jacob's birthplace, Bov, is situated.

General Notes: Note from DeWayne B. Johnson on family tree from around 1998:
"(DBJ's sister, Dorothy Peters, was under the impression that Margaret was a cousin of Samuel Clemens' [Mark Twain's mother or one of his sisters.]

---------
Grandson DeWayne B. Johnson wrote about Grandmother Talbot (Margaret Burrows Talbot) thus on 8/17/1986:

"My vague recollection, substantiated by I know not what, is that on one occasion when my family was visiting the ranch [in North Platte, Nebraska] Grandmother Talbot and I got mired in quick sand and she held me aloft as we sank into the gooey substance. needless to say, we were rescued, or I wouldn't be able to write this way to you today.

"Folklore has it also that she was gifted by remarkable superhuman strength on an occasion when a wagon collapsed on one of her sons and she lifted the entire load by the wagon axle until he could be pulled free. An impossible task under ordinary circumstances.

"I remember the smells of her farm kitchen and helping with the churning of butter. We trimmed the wicks of the kerosene lanterns. A small kitchen garden seemed always to be producing some good things to eat. I don't remember her passing."

Research Notes: From The Record, March, 1897, Vol. 2, No. 9, p. 1:

"Hon. John D. Wallace, representative from Pembina county was among half a dozen of the best members of the house judged from every possible standpoint. He was true, active, earnest, voting with the best element of his party, voting for the best interests of the state, as he saw those interests, under all circumstances. He was in no combinations to defeat good legislation, in none to promote bad, but was honest, earnest, practical and effective in support of everything that was good and in opposition to everything that was bad. Mr. Wallace was born in Ponsonby, Wellington county, Onatio, Feb. 24, 1845, of Anglo-Scotch parentage, and was educated in the Canadian common schools. He came to the United States in 1880, and located at Drayton, Pembina county, in 1881, where he has since been engaged in farming and stock growing. He has a farm of 800 acres, mostly devoted to wheat and feeds live stock on a small scale. He was elected county commissioner in 1884 and held two successive terms, and was a member of the state board of equalization in 1895. He was elected to the legislature in 1896. His committee assignments appear elsewhere."

From History of Long Island: From Its Earliest Settlement to the Present Time, 1903, vol. III, p. 114 :

"George Wallace is descended from a Scotch family which has contributed members to every honorable and useful walk of life. His father, Donald Wallace, a native of Scotland, born in 1816, recently died in California, in the eighty-seventh year of his age. He reared a family of nine children, all but one of whom are living and occupying excellent business and social positions. The youngest son, a member of Roosevelt's 'Rough Riders' regiment, lost his life in the Spanish-American war. The eldest, John D., has long been a prominent business man and a leader in Republican councils in North Dakota, and is now the county judge of Pembina county; Charles L. is editor of the leading Republican newspaper in Nassau county, at Rockville Center, also a prominent operator in real estate. Albert J. and Frank S., as the firm of Wallace Bros., are at the head of large business enterprises at Los Angeles, Pasadena and elsewhere in California. Lavinia M. is the wife of R. H. Young, editor of the 'Methodist Herald,' of Minneapolis, Minnesota; Matilda H. is the wife of the Rev. James Healy, a Methodist Episcopal clergyman filling a pastorate in Southern California; and Mary A. is wife of S. Frank Johnson, a banker at Pasadena, California."

Obituary published in a newspaper in Long Beach, California, date unknown (clipping about 1907).

John D. Wallace
John D. Wallace died this morning at the Long Beach hospital, after over a week's sickness following a severe surgical operation. He was sixty-two years of age. Before coming to Long Beach over a year ago, he resided at Drayton, N. D. He was at one time county commissioner, later a member of the assembly and afterwards judge of probate for Pembina county, North Dakota. In 1896 he represented his denomination in his state as delegate to the Methodist General Conference. He was a man whose character and bearing invited confidence. He was strong of body and stout of heart, and yet with an unfailing gentle disposition. It was his pride to give his children a good start in life, seven of whom have been assisted in gaining an acedemic [sic] education, five having graduated from Hamline University, St. Paul. There are left to mourn his loss, his wife, Ella and Max, the younger members of the family still at home; W. H. Wallace, cashier of the Exchange National bank of this city; L. H. Wallace, cashier of the Newport bank, E. H. Wallace, secretary of the M. T. Dill Grain company, Frescott [sic], Wis., E. H. Wallace, attorney, New York; Chas. H. Wallace, cashier of the bank of Albee, South Dakota, and Mrs. Dr. H. H. Healey of Grand Forks, North Dakota, besides his four brothers and three sisters, including A. J. Wallace, president of the Exchange National bank of this city, and Mrs. R. H. Young.
The funeral of John D. Wallace will be held at the First M. E. church tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The services will be in charge of Rev. Will A. Betts, the address being delivered by Rev. E. A. Healy of Los Angeles.

From "Bethany History" (http://www.bethanyuc.org/Sub/bethany_history_1.htm):

Our first record of Bethany Church, then Methodist, was for the purchase of the lot for the Cemetery at Ponsonby. This was bought on October 3, 1843 from Oliver and Mary Lasby for 2 pounds and was three-quarters of an acre. The church trustees at that time were Hugh and Donald Wallace, Samuel Cunningham, Robert Fasken and Thomas Moore. On the tombstones in this cemetery we find names of some of the pioneer families. These include John Allen - died 1875; Joseph Hall - d 1861 aged 41 years; Thomas Howse - d 1874; Mary Peckover (Howse) - d 1855; Ann Howse (sister of Thomas) - d 1881 at 93 years,Levi Patmore-d 1872; Mary, wife of Joseph Lasby --d 1876; Joseph Lasby -d 1876, and many others. This cemetery was used until about 1888.

At that time, the Bethany Church belonged to the Elora Circuit and services were held in a log school house that was situated on the farm now owned by Stanley Steen, Lot 9, Con. 2, Pilkington Township.

The first church was built of stone and was situated on Lot 9, Con. 2 Pilkington Township on the farm now owned by Kenneth Barton (Alvin Skerritt). This property was seventy feet square and was bought from Joseph Lasby on the 13th day of February 1863 for twenty dollars. The trustees at this time were Donald and Hugh Wallace, Joseph Lasby, Thomas and Edmund Hall, Gilgian Bettchen and William Bye. The minister was Rev. R. Forman.

Owing to the nature of the land, a good foundation had not been built under this church and a new site soon had to be chosen. On the 9th of December, 1875, three-eights of an acre of land was purchased for Fifty Dollars from William Thacker and his mother Catherine, widow of John Thacker. The present church was built of red brick in 1876 with Rev. Thomas Cobb as minister and the trustees were Gilgian and Joseph Bettchen, Hugh and John D. Wallace, Donald McKay, William Bye, Charles Nicklin, William Martin, Edward and Henry Patmore Benjamin Fyfe, Henry Hall and Joseph Lasby. The corner stone of the new church was laid by Col. Charles Clarke, member of the Provincial Legislature.

Curtis Poapst,^{9 17 76} son of John Frederick Poapst and Margaret Wood, was born on 21 Jul 1843 in Lunenburg, Osnabruck Twp, Stormont, Eastern District (Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry), Ontario, Canada, died on 28 Feb 1885 in Osnabruck Centre, Osnabruck Twp (South Stormont), Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, Ontario, Canada at age 41, and was buried in Poapst Homestead (Willis United Cemetery), Lunenburg, Osnabruck, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, Ontario, Canada.⁷⁷ Other names for Curtis were Paupst Curtis and Popps Curtis.

Birth Notes: FamilySearch has his birthdate as 21 July 1848. However, the 1871 census gives his age as 27. It seems likely that he was born in 1843 instead (a misreading of the gravestone?).

The entry for Curtis in the Curtis Poapst family Bible is not entirely clear. It could be 1843 or 1848. I'm interpreting it as 1843. The "3" looks the same as in Edith Pearl Poapst's birth date in the same hand.

Lorna Wallace family tree has b. July, 1848 in Lunenburg, Ontario, Canada, but I think she erred. Other sources (e.g., Rosemary Benson) have 1843. Rosemary Benson did a great deal of research and may be right.

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~poaps/Notices.htm, etc. has tombstone inscription from Poapst homestead, [Osnabruck Twp., Stormont Co.,] Ontario.

See also http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:3047155&id=I582489045, seems authoritative. Has b. 21 Jul 1843. Another RootsWeb source has 1848.

My guess is that the headstone is no longer legible.

Death Notes: Source http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~poaps/Notices.htm has d. 28 February 1885.

Burial Notes: Gravestone reads:
Mary Poapst - d. Jan. 17, 1849 - AE 22 yrs. - daughter of John F. & Margaret Poapst
Curtis Poapst - b. July 21, 1843 - d. Feb. 28, 1885
John F. Poapst - died Oct 2, 1887 - AE 72 yrs
his wife
Margaret - died April 18, 1853 - AE 59 yrs

The stone was originally in the back of the Poapst family homestead, where the bodies remain. The stone was brought to Willis United Cemetery at some time before April 2002.

Research Notes: Source: Family records of Lorna (Wallace) Johnson.

The surname is usually spelled "Poapst" in subsequent family records. However, there are postcards addressed to Helen (Mrs. Curtis) and Edith (daughter) with other spellings such as:
Popps
Paupst

Helen married Curtis Poapst ^{9 17 76} on 12 Nov 1868 in Viola, Wabasha, Minnesota, United States. Curtis was born on 21 Jul 1843 in Lunenburg, Osnabruck Twp, Stormont, Eastern District (Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry), Ontario, Canada, died on 28 Feb 1885 in Osnabruck Centre, Osnabruck Twp (South Stormont), Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, Ontario, Canada at age 41, and was buried in Poapst Homestead (Willis United Cemetery), Lunenburg, Osnabruck, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, Ontario, Canada.⁷⁷ Other names for Curtis were Paupst Curtis and Popps Curtis.

  Fifth Generation  

16. Lauritz Jorgensen,¹³ son of Jørgen Christensen and Helene Nissen, was born <1831>, was christened on 26 Jun 1831,⁸⁹ and died bef <1900>. Other names for Lauritz were Lauritz Johnson and⁹⁰ Louis Johnson.

Research Notes: Name Lauritz Johnson from published obituary of John J. Johnson d. 1929.
First and last name may not have been Lauritz Johnson originally. Some family oral traditions hold that the name was originally Jorgensen.

Mark Johnson (May 2012) has a good amount of information about the family of a Lauritz and Caroline Johnson, who lived in Gibson City, Illinois after immigrating to the United States in 1880. It is likely that those persons are this same family. That family was from Schleswig-Holstein, which makes sense, as there is some confusion about Denmark vs. Germany, and the town of Bov (Bau) in which John J. Johnson was born is in Schleswig.

U.S. Census records indicate that Lauritz and Caroline had 12 children.
--
Parents of a Lauritz Jorgensen baptized on 26 Jun 1831 in Svenstrup were Jorgen Christensen and Helene Nissen.

---------
Denmark Burials, 1640-1917 (FamilySearch.org) yields another, yet less likely, possibility:
Lauritz Johann Johannsen
b.
d. 7 Jan 1870 in Ketting, Sonderborg, Denmark
Buried 13 Jan 1870
Father Gustav Johann Johannsen
Mother Anne Larsdatter/Larsdotter

Noted events in his life were:

• Emigrated: from Denmark to the United States, 1881, <Illinois>, United States. According to the obituary of John Jacob Johnson, the family came to the United States in 1881, as does the 1910 U.S. Census. Other sources say it was 1880. (e.g., the 1900 census). The obituary says they "settled near Gilmore City, Illinois." Gilmore City is in Iowa.

However, a Lauritz Johnson and wife Caroline Casper settled in Gibson City, Illinois, having emigrated in 1880. It is possible that the obituary got the story slightly wrong. Descendants of that family believe that the family was originally from the Schleswig-Holstein region, which adjoins Denmark on the south.

Lauritz married Anna Dorothea Caroline Caspersen ⁹ on 28 May 1854 in Bov, Åbenrå, <Sønderjylland>, Denmark.⁹¹ Anna was born <Jul 1835> in <Holstein>, Germany <Denmark>, was christened on 9 Aug 1835 in Bov, Flensborg, Schlesvig, Denmark,⁹² and died aft <1910> in <Humboldt, Iowa>, United States. Other names for Anna were Caroline <Casper>, Caroline Caspison, Caroline Cosparsen, Caroline Kasperson, and Caroline Kepperson.

Marriage Notes: Mark Johnson has found evidence that Anna Dorothea Caroline Caspersen, born July 1835, christened 9 Aug 1835 in Bov, Flensborg, Schlesvig, Denmark, married Lauritz Jorgensen, b. 1831, on 28 May 1854 in Bov, Schlesvig, Denmark. We are making the assumption that this is the same couple.

Children from this marriage were:

8         i.  John Jacob Johnson ^{9 15 33 34} (born on 15 Aug 1854 in Bov (Bau), Aabenraa, Sønderjylland (Schleswig-Holstein), Denmark - died on 29 Sep 1929 in Fort Dodge, Webster, Iowa, United States)

         ii.  Caroline W. Johnson ⁹³ was born <1857> and died on 28 Jul 1940 in Illinois, United States at age 83.

         ix.  Lena Margaret Johnson ⁹⁴ was born on 12 Apr 1874 in Denmark, died on 2 Nov 1934 in <Corvallis>, Benton, Oregon, United States⁹⁵ at age 60, and was buried on 5 Nov 1934 in Odd Fellows Cemetery, <Corvallis>, Benton, Oregon, United States.

          x.  Louis L. Johnson ⁹³ was born on 12 Sep 1875 in Schlesvig, Denmark, was christened <12 Oct 1875>, and died on 14 Oct 1958 in New Jersey, United States at age 83.

17. Anna Dorothea Caroline Caspersen,⁹ daughter of Johann Jacob Caspersen and Carolina Wilhelmine Beck, was born <Jul 1835> in <Holstein>, Germany <Denmark>, was christened on 9 Aug 1835 in Bov, Flensborg, Schlesvig, Denmark,⁹² and died aft <1910> in <Humboldt, Iowa>, United States. Other names for Anna were Caroline <Casper>, Caroline Caspison, Caroline Cosparsen, Caroline Kasperson, and Caroline Kepperson.

Death Notes: A Caroline Johnson was living with her daughter Lena (Johnson) Hanson in Humboldt, Iowa, in 1910. That is quite likely this Caroline.

Research Notes: Family records of DeWayne B. Johnson have only the name Caroline, with her birthplace as Germany.

Mark Johnson (May 2012) has a good amount of information about the family of Lauritz and Caroline Johnson, who lived in Gibson City, Illinois after immigrating to the United States in 1880. It is likely that those persons are this same family. That family was from Schleswig-Holstein.Census records indicate that they had 12 children.

Noted events in her life were:

• Census: U.S., 1910, Humboldt, Iowa, United States. ⁹⁷ A Caroline Johnson was living with her daughter Lena (Johnson) Hanson in Humboldt, Iowa, in 1910. That is quite likely this Caroline.

Anna married Lauritz Jorgensen ¹³ on 28 May 1854 in Bov, Åbenrå, <Sønderjylland>, Denmark.⁹¹ Lauritz was born <1831>, was christened on 26 Jun 1831,⁸⁹ and died bef <1900>. Other names for Lauritz were Lauritz Johnson and⁹⁰ Louis Johnson.

Research Notes: From FindaGrave.com:
"From the 1870 census John Burrows was born about 1829 in Ireland and emigrated to the United States at age 19. A family letter indicates he was born in Scotland. After emigrating, John Burrows found employment as a farm hand with the Weyerhauser lumber people in Pennsylvania. It is there that he met his future wife, Martha Downey, who was working as a house maid for the same company. John and Martha were married in Philadelphia in 1854. They came west to Mercer County, Illinois while their son, Samuel, was just a babe.

Unto this union seven children were born: Samuel Frank; Margaret born about 1858; Martha about 1862; Jean or Jane about 1864; Andrew about 1868; Sophrenia born May 1870; and Leah Rebecca born December 16, 1872."

From History of Long Island, vol. III, p. 114 :

"George Wallace is descended from a Scotch family which has contributed members to every honorable and useful walk of life. His father, Donald Wallace, a native of Scotland, born in 1816, recently died in California, in the eighty-seventh year of his age. He reared a family of nine children, all but one of whom are living and occupying excellent business and social positions. The youngest son, a member of Roosevelt's 'Rough Riders' regiment, lost his life in the Spanish-American war. The eldest, John D., has long been a promient business man and a leader in Republican councils in North Dakota, and is now the county judge of Pembina county; Charles L. is editor of the leading Republican newspaper in Nassau county, at Rockville Center, also a promient operator in real estate. Albert J. and Frank S., as the firm of Wallace Bros., are at the head of large business enterprises at Los Angeles, Pasadena and elsewhere in California. Lavinia M. is the wife of R. H.

From "Bethany History" (http://www.bethanyuc.org/Sub/bethany_history_1.htm):

Our first record of Bethany Church, then Methodist, was for the purchase of the lot for the Cemetery at Ponsonby. This was bought on October 3, 1843 from Oliver and Mary Lasby for 2 pounds and was three-quarters of an acre. The church trustees at that time were Hugh and Donald Wallace, Samuel Cunningham, Robert Fasken and Thomas Moore. On the tombstones in this cemetery we find names of some of the pioneer families. These include John Allen - died 1875; Joseph Hall - d 1861 aged 41 years; Thomas Howse - d 1874; Mary Peckover (Howse) - d 1855; Ann Howse (sister of Thomas) - d 1881 at 93 years,Levi Patmore-d 1872; Mary, wife of Joseph Lasby --d 1876; Joseph Lasby -d 1876, and many others. This cemetery was used until about 1888.
At that time, the Bethany Church belonged to the Elora Circuit and services were held in a log school house that was situated on the farm now owned by Stanley Steen, Lot 9, Con. 2, Pilkington Township.
The first church was built of stone and was situated on Lot 9, Con. 2 Pilkington Township on the farm now owned by Kenneth Barton (Alvin Skerritt). This property was seventy feet square and was bought from Joseph Lasby on the 13th day of February 1863 for twenty dollars. The trustees at this time were Donald and Hugh Wallace, Joseph Lasby, Thomas and Edmund Hall, Gilgian Bettchen and William Bye. The minister was Rev. R. Forman.

Owing to the nature of the land, a good foundation had not been built under this church and a new site soon had to be chosen. On the 9th of December, 1875, three-eights of an acre of land was purchased for Fifty Dollars from William Thacker and his mother Catherine, widow of John Thacker. The present church was built of red brick in 1876 with Rev. Thomas Cobb as minister and the trustees were Gilgian and Joseph Bettchen, Hugh and John D. Wallace, Donald McKay, William Bye, Charles Nicklin, William Martin, Edward and Henry Patmore Benjamin Fyfe, Henry Hall and Joseph Lasby. The corner stone of the new church was laid by Col. Charles Clarke, member of the Provincial Legislature.

Noted events in his life were:

• Sailed: from Scotland to La Guayra (Caracas), Venezuela, on the ship "Planet", 7 Oct 1825, Cromarty, Ross-shire (Ross and Cromarty, Highland), Scotland. Emigrated with his parents and three brothers. His brother John remained in Venezuela when the rest of the family sailed to Canada.

Roger Wood, (U.E.L.) and Margaret Drew, was born about 1799 in <Gananoque, Leeds (Leeds and Grenville)>, Ontario, Canada, died on 18 Apr 1858 in Osnabruck Centre, Osnabruck Twp, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, Ontario, Canada¹⁵⁹ about age 59, and was buried in Poapst Homestead (Willis United Cemetery), Lunenburg, Osnabruck, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, Ontario, Canada.⁷⁷ Another name for Margaret was Peggy Wood.

Birth Notes: May have been born about 1794 or earlier. Rosemary Benson has b. 1797. Her gravestone reads "AE 59 yrs."

Poss. b. Cornwall, Ontario or Gananoque (Leeds and Grenville Co.), Ontario.

Death Notes: My interpretation of the date on her gravestone is d. 18 Apr 1858. kjf 10/26/11

Site http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~poaps/Notices.htm has
"Margaret, wife of John F. Poapst d. 18 Apr 1853, age 59 years
Buried at Poapst Homestead. (Taken from a gravestone)" The year 1853 is probably incorrect.

Burial Notes: Gravestone reads:
Mary Poapst - d. Jan. 17, 1849 - AE 22 yrs. - daughter of John F. & Margaret Poapst
Curtis Poapst - b. July 21, 1843 - d. Feb. 28, 1885
John F. Poapst - died Oct 2, 1887 - AE 72 yrs
his wife
Margaret - died April 18, 1858 - AE 59 yrs

The stone was originally in the back of the Poapst family homestead, where the bodies remain. The stone was brought to Willis United Cemetery at some time before April 2002.

General Notes: Note: The family tree created by Lorna Wallace Johnson around 1950 has only the name "Margaret Wood" and ", Canada." Lorna did not know Margaret's parents' names.

Research Notes: Margaret's parents were definitely:
Lt. Col.Roger Wood (Ul.E.L.) (1767-1862) + Margaret Drew (1767-1864)
NOT
John Wood (U.E.L.) (abt 1764-1852) + Abigail Drew (1766-?)

Note: John & Abigail's daughter Margaret married Alexander Ross.

Margaret married John Frederick Poapst ^{9 147 148 149 150} on 14 Jan 1819 in Osnabruck Twp, Stormont, Eastern District (Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry), Ontario, Canada. John was born on 8 Nov 1795 in Northfield Station, Cornwall Twp, Stormont, Eastern District (Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry), Ontario, Canada, was christened on 25 Dec 1795,¹⁵¹ died on 2 Oct 1867 in Lunenburg, Osnabruck Twp (South Stormont), Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, Ontario, Canada^{152 153} at age 71, and was buried in Poapst Homestead (Willis United Cemetery), Lunenburg, Osnabruck (South Stormont), Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, Ontario, Canada.⁷⁷ Other names for John were John Frederick Papst, Johannes Frederick Poapst, and John T. Poapst.

30. Sterling <Russell> Studley,⁹ son of < > Studley and Alurie < >, was born about 1817 in <New York>, United States. Other names for Sterling were Sterling R. Steadley and Sterling (Russell?) Studley.

Research Notes: Marriage 27 Oct 1849 recorded as:
Sterling R. Studley
Barbara Lensez

Lorna Wallace's family tree has "Sterling (Russell?) Studley," with the last name spelled "Studley," but his mother/sister (?), Mary Catherine, may have spelled her last name "Steadley." Mary Catherine inscribed the inside front cover of her copy of The Mental Friend, and Rational Companion <1831?> in pencil, now very faint, and it seems to read "Mary Catherine Steadley, Cedar Creek, Polk, Wis." I don't know what Mary Catherine's relationship was.

According to The Town of Polk website (http://www.tn.polk.wi.gov/), the town of Polk, Wisconsin had its boundaries established by the U.S. government around 1830. The town's Cedar Creek flows out of Cedar Lake and is a tributary of the Milwaukee River. "By 1846, 14 families lived in Cedar Creek." Russell and Barbara (?) Studley were probably one of those 14 families.

Noted events in his life were:

• Census: 3 Sep 1850, Polk, Washington, Wisconsin, United States. ^{180 181} Page 358, Sheet 180A
Free Inhabitants in Polk Dis No 15 in the County fo Washington State of Wisconsin enumerated by me, on the 3d day of Sept 1850. J. I. Loomis Ass't Marshal.

623 630 Ann B. Studly 20 F Germany
623 630 Josephine Studly 4 F Wis.
623 630 Barbara Lincing 50 F Germany

Sterling married Barbara Linsin ^{9 62} on 27 Oct 1849 in Polk, Washington, Wisconsin, United States.¹⁸² Barbara was born about 1830 in <Baden-Baden>, Germany and died after 1903. Other names for Barbara were Barbara Lensen, Barbara Lensez, Barbara Lenzen, Ann B. Lincing, and Barbara Lincing.

Children from this marriage were:

          i.  Josephine Studley ¹⁸³ was born about 1846 in Wisconsin, United States.

15       ii.  Helen Lind Studley ^{9 17 78 79 80} (born on 26 Nov 1850 in Cedar Creek, Washington, Wisconsin, United States - died <1921>, buried in <Sunnyside Cemetery, Long Beach>, Los Angeles, California, United States)

        iii.  Alice Studley(?) was born about 1851 in <Wisconsin, United States>. Another name for Alice was Alice Poapst(?).

31. Barbara Linsin,^{9 62} daughter of < > Lenzen and Barbara < >, was born about 1830 in <Baden-Baden>, Germany and died after 1903. Other names for Barbara were Barbara Lensen, Barbara Lensez, Barbara Lenzen, Ann B. Lincing, and Barbara Lincing.

Research Notes: Ambiguous information from handwritten note by Lorna Wallace to Danielle Fowler:
"My great grandmother on my mother's side... came to Canada from Baden-Baden, Germany*." [Footnote: "Ask [Lorna's brother] Stan if I'm right about this."]. Lorna's family tree has "Barbara Linsin" as Sterling Studley's wife.

According to the marriage record, her name was "Barbara Lensez." This may be a transcription error. "Lenzen" or"Lensen" would more closely match the oral history.

In 1850, the S. R. Studley household consisted of S.R., age 33, Ann B., age 20 (his wife?), Josephine, age 4, and Barbara Lincing, age 50.

Noted events in her life were:

• Census: 3 Sep 1850, Polk, Washington, Wisconsin, United States. Page 358, Sheet 180A
Free Inhabitants in Polk Dis No 15 in the County fo Washington State of Wisconsin enumerated by me, on the 3d day of Sept 1850. J. I. Loomis Ass't Marshal.

Barbara married Sterling <Russell> Studley ⁹ on 27 Oct 1849 in Polk, Washington, Wisconsin, United States.¹⁸² Sterling was born about 1817 in <New York>, United States. Other names for Sterling were Sterling R. Steadley and Sterling (Russell?) Studley.

  Sixth Generation  

32. Jørgen Christensen,⁹³ son of Christen Pedersen and Unknown, was born <1800>. Other names for Jørgen were Jorgen Sorensen and Jorgen Christensen Sorensen.

Research Notes: Two children of Jorgen Christensen and Helene Nissen were born before their marriage date of 1830. There may have been two couples with the same names at the same approximate time and place.

His last name appear as either Christensen or Sorenson or both.

There is a baptism record for Anna Helena Jorgensen, 2 March 1828 in Svenstrup, Åbenrå-Sonderborg, Denmark with father Jorgen Chrestensen Sorensen and mother Helena Nissen, one for Maria Jorgensen 28 March 1834, same place, same parents, and another for Maren Jorgensen 12 Nov 1837, same place and parents. The dates and place appear to tie to Lauritz Jorgensen/Johnson, whose marriage record gives his father's name as "Jorgen Christensen Or Sorensen" with mother's name Helena.

A transcribed marriage record for Jørgen Christensen and Ellen Cathrine Nissen lists his father (Christen Pedersen) and has his age as 30.

Jørgen married Helene Nissen ^{184 185} on 27 Jun 1830 in Marstal, Svendborg, Denmark.¹⁸⁵ Helene was born <1803>. Another name for Helene was Ellen Cathrine Nissen.

Marriage Notes: Marriage date may have been 20 June 1830

Children from this marriage were:

          i.  Anna Maria Jorgensen ¹⁸⁶ was born <1820>.

         ii.  Jorgen Jorgensen ¹⁸⁷ was christened on 26 Jan 1823 in Svenstrup, Åbenrå (Åbenrå-Sonderborg), Denmark.

        iii.  Matthis Christensen ¹⁸⁸ was christened on 25 Sep 1825 in Svenstrup, Åbenrå (Åbenrå-Sonderborg), Denmark.

         iv.  Anna Helena Jorgensen ¹⁸⁹ was christened on 2 Mar 1828 in Svenstrup, Åbenrå (Åbenrå-Sonderborg), Denmark.

16        v.  Lauritz Jorgensen ¹³ (born <1831> - died bef <1900>)

         vi.  Maria Jorgensen ¹⁹⁰ was christened on 28 Mar 1834 in Svenstrup, Åbenrå (Åbenrå-Sonderborg), Denmark.

        vii.  Maren Jorgensen ¹⁹¹ was christened on 12 Nov 1837 in Svenstrup, Åbenrå (Åbenrå-Sonderborg), Denmark. Another name for Maren was Maren Sorensen.

33. Helene Nissen,^{184 185} daughter of Nis < > and < > < >, was born <1803>. Another name for Helene was Ellen Cathrine Nissen.

Helene married Jørgen Christensen ⁹³ on 27 Jun 1830 in Marstal, Svendborg, Denmark.¹⁸⁵ Jørgen was born <1800>. Other names for Jørgen were Jorgen Sorensen and Jorgen Christensen Sorensen.

34. Johann Jacob Caspersen,^{91 192} son of Peter Caspersen and Hedewig Petersen, was born in 1798 and died <3 May 1869> in <Bylderup, Tønder, Denmark>¹⁹³ at age 71. Another name for Johann was Jorgen Jacob Caspersen.

Death Notes: Death date in doubt. There is a death record for Johann Jacob Caspersen at age 71 on 3 May 1869 in Bylderup, Tønder, Denmark, but his wife's name is given as Caroline Hedewig Beck. Other records have "our" Johann Jacob's wife as Caroline Wilhelmine Beck.

Research Notes: The transcribed death record gives his parents as Peter Caspersen and Hedewig Petersen. The only thing that throws this in doubt is Johann's wife's name, which is recorded as Caroline Hedewig Beck. Knowing how naming went in those days, however, it is possible that Caroline/Carolina had both Wilhelmine and Hedewig as middle names.

Noted events in his life were:

• Occupation: goldmith(?). The marriage record has his name as "Johann Jacob Caspersen Goldschmiedt." Does Goldschmiedt mean "goldsmith" in Danish?

Johann married Carolina Wilhelmine Beck ^{91 194} <18 Oct 1829> in <Bov (Bau), Åbenrå, Sønderjylland (Schleswig-Holstein), Denmark>.¹⁹⁴

Marriage Notes: A marriage record for 18 Oct 1829 in Bov gives the bride's name simply as Caroline Beck. It also lists the grooms parents as Peter Caspersen and Hedewig Petersen. Those are the same parents who appear in the death record for a Johann Jacob Casperson on 3 May 1869. The death record give's Johann's wife's name as Caroline Hedewig Beck. That was certainly the wife from 18 Oct 1829 in Bov. Caroline/Carolina's middle name(s) then are in doubt. Did she have both Wilhelmine and Hedewig? Or was this Johann's wife an entirely different person?

Children from this marriage were:

          i.  Marie Hedewig Caspersen ¹⁹⁵ was christened on 30 Dec 1829 in Tonder, Tonder, Denmark.¹⁹⁶

         ii.  Andreas Anton Caspersen ¹⁹⁷ was born <1831>.

        iii.  Vilhelm Sivert Jacob Caspersen ¹⁹⁸ was born <1833>. Another name for Vilhelm was Vilhelm Sivert Jacob Casspersen.

17       iv.  Anna Dorothea Caroline Caspersen ⁹ (born <Jul 1835> in <Holstein>, Germany <Denmark> - died aft <1910> in <Humboldt, Iowa>, United States)

          v.  Hans Ferdinand Caspersen ¹⁹⁹ was christened on 8 Apr 1838 in Bov (Bau), Aabenraa, Sønderjylland (Schleswig-Holstein), Denmark.

         vi.  Amalia Wilhelmine Caspersen ²⁰⁰ was christened on 11 Apr 1841 in Bov (Bau), Aabenraa, Sønderjylland (Schleswig-Holstein), Denmark.

35. Carolina Wilhelmine Beck,^{91 194} daughter of Andreas Beck and Gerthro Johannsen,.

Research Notes: There is a death record for a Johann Jacob Caspersen on 3 May 1869 in Bylderup, Tønder, Denmark, but his wife's name is given as Caroline Hedewig Beck. He may have been a different person from Carolina's husband. However, if the name Hedewig can be verified, Johann's parents were Peter Caspersen and Hedewig Petersen. Caroline's name could have had both Wilhelmine and Hedewig in the middle. Were there two separate women?

If these Caroline/Carolina persons are verified as one and the same, then the marriage on 18 Oct 1829 in Bov and her parents Andreas Beck and Gerthro Johannsen are also verified.

Carolina married Johann Jacob Caspersen ^{91 192} <18 Oct 1829> in <Bov (Bau), Åbenrå, Sønderjylland (Schleswig-Holstein), Denmark>.¹⁹⁴ Johann was born in 1798 and died <3 May 1869> in <Bylderup, Tønder, Denmark>¹⁹³ at age 71. Another name for Johann was Jorgen Jacob Caspersen.

36. Jens Hansen,²⁰¹ son of <Hans> and Unknown, was born about 1763 in <Bolleskov, > Dronninglund, Nordjylland, Denmark and was buried on 20 May 1827 in Dronninglund, Nordjylland, Denmark. Another name for Jens was Jens Hansen Smed.

Jens married Christiane Jensdatter.²⁰¹ Christiane was born from 1779 to 1780 and was buried in Dronninglund, Denmark.

Children from this marriage were:

          i.  Johannes Jensen ²⁰² was born about 1812.

         ii.  Karen Margrethe Jensdatter ²⁰² was born about 1815. Another name for Karen was Karen Margrethe Jensen.

        iii.  Marie Jensdatter ²⁰² was born about 1818. Another name for Marie was Marie Jensen.

         iv.  Maren Margrethe Jensdatter ²⁰² was born in 1819. Another name for Maren was Maren Margrethe Jensen.

18        v.  Jens Christian Jensen ^{9 15 98} (born on 21 Oct 1821 in Bolle, Broenderslev-Dronninglund, Nordjylland, Denmark)

37. Christiane Jensdatter,²⁰¹ daughter of <Jens> and Unknown, was born from 1779 to 1780 and was buried in Dronninglund, Denmark.

Christiane married Jens Hansen.²⁰¹ Jens was born about 1763 in <Bolleskov, > Dronninglund, Nordjylland, Denmark and was buried on 20 May 1827 in Dronninglund, Nordjylland, Denmark. Another name for Jens was Jens Hansen Smed.

38. Hans Pedersen Hollet ⁹ was born in 1760 in <Laeso>, Denmark. Other names for Hans were Hans Pedersen Hollet and Hans Pedersen.

General Notes: From a letter by Donald Johnson (son of Marine Johnson) to Ardis Johnson Bynum on 5 June 1979:

"My great grandfather, Hans Pedersen Hollet, apparently was, for those times, a well-to-do man on the island of Laeso. He was 32 years older than my great grandmother Mette Kirstine Christensdatter, who was born about 1792. So my guess is that when Mette Kirstine died, her daughter's (Ane Cathrine) share of the estate was enough to enable her to buy the holdings at Hov. In 1866 Mette K. would have been 74 years old, and it may have taken a year or more to settle the estate, as there were five children born of this marriage. This is just a guess, but it does make sense that grandpa Jens Christian Jensen didn't get rich farming and fishing; or, at least, as readily as the Hollets could with their milling and timbering business."

Hans married Mette Kirstine Christensdatter.⁹ Mette was born in 1792 in Laeso, Denmark and died about 1866 about age 74.

Children from this marriage were:

          i.  Birgette Marie Hansdatter was born in 1829.

19       ii.  Ane Cathrine Hansdatter ⁹ (born about 1830 in <Hoellet>, Nordjyllands, Denmark)

        iii.  Hans Hansen was born in 1832.

         iv.  Dorthe Kirstine Hansdatter was born in 1833.

          v.  Christen Hansen was born in 1836.

39. Mette Kirstine Christensdatter,⁹ daughter of <Christen> and Unknown, was born in 1792 in Laeso, Denmark and died about 1866 about age 74.

Mette married Hans Pedersen Hollet.⁹ Hans was born in 1760 in <Laeso>, Denmark. Other names for Hans were Hans Pedersen Hollet and Hans Pedersen.

40. Reverend Charles Wells Wesley Talbot, son of Lt. Richard Talbott and Temperance Wells, was born on 28 Sep 1791 in Washington Co., Pennsylvania, United States, died on 22 Oct 1874 in Ironton, Lawrence, Ohio, United States at age 83, and was buried in Woodland Cemetery, Ironton, Lawrence, Ohio, United States.^{203 204}

Hauntings at Woodlawn Cemetery (from http://www.forgottenoh.com/Counties/Lawrence/woodland.html ) :

"Woodland Cemetery in Ironton is said to be haunted by the ghost of a young woman whose abusive husband killed her by throwing her down a flight of stairs. A life-sized statue of her stands above her grave, and a handprint appears on its cheek even after the cheek has been sandblasted. The statue is supposed to be warm all the time, even in the coldest months.

"Woodlawn is also said to be home to the ghost of a Russian ballerina, who is entombed in one of the family mausoleums. Her likeness is carved into the mausoleum. On nights with full moons, it is said, you can see her dancing outside her final resting place.

"Dr. Joseph W. Lowry also haunts Woodland, seeking vengeance for his murder and mutilation. Dr. Lowry is often seen with his mother, who died from a broken neck when she was thrown from her carriage by a spooked horse. They walk together toward the cemetery gates but never make it past the highway bridge. "

Research Notes: Eliza Smith McMunn's lineage is dependent upon data obtained from Rod Blackman via www.familysearch.org 8/26/06. Appears to be well researched.

From Jeanine Wallace (email 12 Jan 2010): "George and Barbara have their own headstone. Originally George was buried downtown Guelph, he was the second person to be buried in that cemetary. The cemetary has since been moved to the Woodlawn cemetary were most of the family is buried now. When George passed away he and the family were living in the Scotch Block just outside of Guelph, now a little intersection called Marden. Grandpa says that he heard that Barbara and her sons were quite a burden on the neighbours after George died because they certainly didn't have much."

From "Bethany History" (http://www.bethanyuc.org/Sub/bethany_history_1.htm):
"Another early settler was Mrs. George Wallace who with her husband and four sons, John, Alexander, Donald and Hugh, in the year 1825, left Scotland on the sailing vessel "Planet" for South America where they landed at Carracus, Venezuela. Eighteen months later they arrived in Guelph known as the LaGuayra settlers. George Wallace died August 18, 1828 and was the second body buried in the old cemetery behind Chalmers Church which is now a city parking lot. Mrs. Wallace and her four sons then settled in Pilkington where the sixth generation is still residing."

General Notes: Donald Wallace (1816-1902) letter to Ed H. Wallace dated 4 Jun 1896 has b. 9 Jan 1775:

"His [Alexander's] oldest son, Lachlin, was my great-grandfather; his son John was my grandfather; one of his sons, George, was my father. He [George] was born January 9th, 1775. He married Barbara Munro, 6th March, 1806. He was a factor for Culrain, a wealthy man, then he went as overseer for a gentleman. On the 7th Oct 1825, he and wife and 4 sons left Scotland for South America. There he tried farming, but he did not like it. He left his [son] John there. He and family went to Canada West. He arrived at Guelph 26 September 1827. He settled on a farm there. On the 19th of next August he died. His wife [Barbara] was born in Ross[-s]hire 18 Aug 1737 [sic]. She died at Woolwich, Feb. 4, 1844 He had four sons--John, Donald, Hugh, Alexander. John was born at Ross[-s]hire, 13th of April 1813. He died in South America 11th of March, 1848. Donald was born 14th of February 1845. Hugh was born in Sutherland, 8th July, 1819. Died. Alexander was born in Sutherland on the 3rd of February, 1822. Barbara Wallace and her three sons removed from near Guelph to Woolwich 20th April, 1833. On a genealogical tree of the family of Wallaces in Ross[-s]hire, by a cousin of mine, I saw 88. Some more might be added since. One of them, Lachlin, had 10 children. One of them was John, my grandfather."

Narrative by Don Wallace (Donald C. Wallace, III) on 1 July 2010, in email to Karen (Johnson) Fish:

Wallace origins in Scotland with immigration story to Canada via Colombia ca. 1815-20. It's a doozy: the entire clan worked under the Earl of Cromartie up on the Northeast coast for about 200+ years. The head Wallace was The Grange, or clan leader, and in the custom of the time that meant full employment and housing for the rest of the family.

All was going well when [George] Wallace married Barbara Munro, whose brother was a notorious cattle rustler, aka The Black Drover. Barbara got her husband to temporarily borrow the entire year's budget for the estate, about 300 pounds sterling, to finance buying (rustling, probably) cattle on the English border for sale elsewhere in Northern England. Instead, the Black Drover kept the money and said he'd been ripped off. This made [George] W an embezzler, and he and the family were forced to leave the estate.

He took them to the far north to start a Gaelic school--a revolutionary act at the time of the Enclosures, which were forcing crofters off the Highlands down into the textile mills of England or overseas as immigrants. The school failed. He petitioned the church to resettle the family, about 17 people, and they took what was offered: a missionary settlement in the highlands of Colombia, which was a vast ungoverned breakaway country, including Venezuela and Panama. The idea of introducing Protestantism in an overwhelming Catholic country didn't go over well. After a neighbor led a stray cow up to their front porch and plunged a knife into its heart, [George] petitioned the church again for resettlement. They were sent to Canada, landed in Guelph, Ontario, around 1822. And [George], totally burnt out by then, up and died [in 1828].

I gathered all of this from a box of letters handed down, the oldest dating from the 1640s. I found the box while spending the night in grandfather Don Wallace's house the night after his death. I spent a few hours reading everything and made my father open a safe deposit box to safeguard it. And then--it's so sad as to be unbelievable--at some point the deposit was closed and the box just thrown out. It just about broke my heart then, and does now, telling you. (And that's why I'm telling you. Those of us who care are few and far between.)

The family [of John D. Wallace] followed the Red River south into the Dakota territories, founding Drayton, and maybe another town or two. We still have the homestead from the 1870s--on the "bad" side of the Red River--though there is only one person left alive who has seen it, we lease it to a hay farmer. The reason all of the Wallaces headed West (or East, one brother helping to incorporate Suffolk County in New York State) was the land was in such poor condition. If we'd picked land on the other side of the river, where the sediment was, we'd probably still be there...

One final thought for today: all of the family left Colombia except for the eldest son, Alexander [John?], aged 16, who stayed, and later ended up in Costa Rica, where it is said he married a princess. I thought this story was a fable until my mother and father began reminiscing about visits from a very snotty Costa Rican lady when they were young, who insisted she was a royal. This would probably have been a Bourbon dynasty line of descent, if it wasn't a case of putting on airs.

Research Notes: Lorna Wallace family tree has "George (John?) Wallace." Was John his middle name? His brother? Father? Also has b. 8 Jan 1775. Transcription of Donald Wallace letter of 4 June 1896 to Ed Wallace has 9 Jan 1775, but his gravestone and the family Bible say 8 January 1775 in Culrain.

http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=tincanman&id=I110374
Has b. 1775 in Cromarty, Scotland.

Cromarty is very near to Rosskeen.

See also George's brother John, whose second marriage was to Catherine Munro. Barbara's sister? Is this John the reason for confusion about his name?
----------------
According to Jeannine Wallace 10/18/10, "George, husband to Barbara came to Canada with a wooden chest, I think I've mentioned this before. That chest has George's name on it with the middle initial 'A'."

Re: Looking for George Wallace-1775 and Barbara Munro-1789 of Rosshire
1 Mar 2009
pachinkoisforlovers

I am related to George Wallace and Barbara Munro through their son Donald.

here is the information that i have:
George Wallace, his Wife and their four sons left the port in Cromarty, Scotland and sailed on the vessel "Planet" in 7 Oct 1825 for South America. they went on the promise of land and other concessions that were never realized. In Carracas (LaGuayra), Venezuela and 18 mo. (1827)later arrived in Guelph Tp. CAN and were alloted land on the Elora Road (Scotch Block)and became known as the LaGuayra settlers. George dies Aug. 18 1828 and was the second body to be buried in the old cemetary behind Chalmers church.

From what i can find i believe that George, Barbara and three of their sone (George, Alexander and Hugh) went to Canada. I have mixed reports but have come to believe that their son John stayed in Carracas where he died some years later.

Hugh Wallace (b. 1819 Scotland-5 Sept 1881 Wellington co. ON) married Margaret Metcalf. they had 9 children.

I have your relative Alexander Wallace (b. 28 Feb 1822 Scotland - 29 Sept 1892 ON) marrying Mary Ann Elizabeth Cunningham. they had 11 children.

My G-G Grandfather Donald Wallace (b.14 Feb 1816 Scotland- d.1902 Pasadena, CA) married Harriet Lasby in 1838. they had 9 children.

General Notes: Letter from Catherine Ross (by then married to Young) about the death of her brother John

To: John Wallace
Sun Office 112 Strand London
Jan 29 1827
My dear Uncle,
I fully intended to have written to you two months ago, in the first place I was waiting to hear more satisfactory accounts from Colombia and since I received the melancholy intelligence of my poor brother's death I felt little disposed for writing.
Mr Young has sent you a paper with an account of him in it written by Mr Young which he has copied into all the newspapers here.

I saw a gentleman yesterday that has just arrived from Lagunyea who gives a most dismal account of the people's distress, but I suppose you have heard from George all the particulars. Their chief wish is to come home, or to be sent to North America, but the Association will do nothing for them. It has proved a most unfortunate course and has brought impossible misfortune on our poor family. Mrs Ross and her family are left quite destitute. She has three children, two boys and a girl. The mother and the youngest have gone to live with her father in Edinburgh and we have taken the other two. It would be rather hard that his poor children would be left friendless after what he had done for his father's family. With all his failings he had a most affectionate warm heart.

All the accounts we have had of his illness and death are in the Sun. It is strange that we should have been so long without hearing of is the heard from the consol at Philadelphia who sent an inventory of all John's things. We have written to him to get all the particulars he can relate to his illness and of course you have heard that he paid Walter a visit in Demerara. He was just after parting with him a fortnight when he died. He was very unlucky in all his undertakings but in my opinion the Association have behaved most infamously.

I had a letter from Walter am Saturday dated 1st November the poor fellow did not then hear of his loss. He will feel it the more on account of so recently having seen him. Indeed I dread the consequence upon his health. He says he expects to hear from you shortly. I saw a gentleman who came from Charles last summer. He was in the enjoyment of very excellent health but has so of riches. But we must hope for the best. I must now conclude for I do not feel disposed to enter into long particulars of my own affairs at present.

The Sun is doing wonders I believe I wrote to you time the birth of my youngest daughter who was born 9th of last October and is a fine little girl called Catherine after her mother.
Give my compliments to all my relations and friends. Mr Young writes with me in fondest regards to you and Mrs Wallace and I remain, my dear uncle, your affectionate niece
Catharine Young

I shall be glad to hear from you as soon as possible as I am going to write to Charles and he will feel interest in all the Roshkeen news. Write fully and if George says anything of John let me know. C.Y.

I shall expect your answer in a fortnight.

Noted events in his life were:

• Occupation: farmer, <Culrain>, Rosskeen, Ross-shire, Scotland.

• Occupation: Factor, Bef 1813, Culrain, Rosskeen Parish, Ross-shire (Ross and Cromarty, Highland), Scotland. "Factor of Culrain" (estate overseer?)

• Occupation: overseer for a gentleman, Abt 1813, Ross-shire (Ross and Cromarty), Scotland. May be the same as "factor of Culrain"

• Sailed: from Scotland for La Guayra, on the seacoast near Caracas, Gran Colombia (Venezuela), South America on the ship "Planet", 7 Oct 1825, Cromarty, Ross-shire (Ross and Cromarty, Highland), Scotland.

In 1825, Caracas and La Guayra were part of Gran Colombia. Venezuela split from Gran Colombia on 13 January 1830.

• Immigration: to Canada West, 26 Sep 1827, Guelph, (Wellington), Upper Canada (Ontario), (Canada). with his wife and three or four sons. (John may have remained in Venezuela.) They, and other Scottish immigrants, became known as the La Guayra settlers (La Guairan settlers) in Ontario.

• Allotted: land on the Elora Road in the Scotch Block outside Guelph, 1828, (Marden), Guelph Twp, (Wellington), Upper Canada (Ontario), (Canada). Settled on lots 10, 11 con 1.

From Jeanine Wallace (email 2 Jan 2010): "I selected two points on the map. The first is Marden, Ontario. This intersection that I marked is where George and Barbara first settled in the Scotch Block with the other settlers from Venezuala."

Scotland Marriages, 1561-1910 at FamilySearch.org has:
George Wallace + Barbra Munro married 20 Jan 1806 Rosskeen, Ross and Cromarty, Scotland. Why would this be a different date?

Children from this marriage were:

          i.  John Wallace ^{216 217 218} was born on 19 Apr 1813 in Soniskile <Stonekile?>, Rosskeen Parish, Ross-shire (Ross and Cromarty), Scotland¹²² and died 11 Mar <1848> in <Caracas, Venezuela>¹²² at age 34.

Birth Notes: The transcription of Donald Wallace's letter has 18 August 1737, which is probably a misreading of 18 August 1787 or 1789. According to Jeanine Wallace, the family Bible of George & Barbara has b. at Arshrop, Parish of Ross-shire, Scotland on August 18, 1789. This is born out by her gravestone (b. August 18, 1789 and d.

In the 1851 census, there were many Munros in Rosskeen and several place names containing "Ardross." One was a castle, a couple were farms. A lot of individuals were born in Creich. Most of those folks were labourers or lodgers. See http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/th/read/SCT-SUTHERLAND/2002-02/1014013271

General Notes: Donald Wallace (1816-?) letter to Ed H. Wallace dated 4 Jun 1896 has b. 18 Aug 1737 [1773? May be typo in transcription]: "His [Alexander's] oldest son, Lachlin, was my great-grandfather; his son John was my grandfather; one of his sons, George, was my father. He [George] was born January 9th, 1775. He married Barbara Munro, 6th March, 1806. He was a factor for Culrain, a wealthy man, then he went as overseer for a gentleman. On the 7th Oct 1825, he and wife and 4 sons left Scotland for South America. There he tried farming, but he did not like it. He left his [son] John there. He and family went to Canada West. He arrived at Guelph 26 September 1827. He settled on a farm there. On the 19th of next August he died. His wife [Barbara] was born in Ross[-s]hire 18 Aug 1737 [sic]. She died at Woolwich, Feb. 4, 1844 He had four sons--John, Donald, Hugh, Alexander. John was born at Ross[-s]hire, 13th of April 1813. He died in South America 11th of March, 1848. Donald was born 14th of February 1845. Hugh was born in Sutherland, 8th July, 1819. Died. Alexander was born in Sutherland on the 3rd of February, 1822. Barbara Wallace and her three sons removed from near Guelph to Woolwich 20th April, 1833. On a genealogical tree of the family of Wallaces in Ross[-s]hire, by a cousin of mine, I saw 88. Some more might be added since. One of them, Lachlin, had 10 children. One of them was John, my grandfather."

Research Notes: Donald Wallace (1816-?) letter to Ed H. Wallace dated 4 Jun 1896 has b. 18 Aug 1737 [1773? 1787? May be typo in transcription.] Gravestone has d. 4 Feb 1849 (in Guelph, Ontario). Transcribed Donald Wallace letter has d. 4 Feb 1844.

Noted events in her life were:

• Obtained: Lot 11, Concession 1 in Pilkington township, Aft 19 Aug 1828, Woolwich Twp (Pilkington/Centre Wellington Twp), Wellington, Upper Canada (Ontario), (Canada). The farm is still owned by descendants of George and Barbara Wallace. Seven generations have been raised on the family farm. It is located in Elora, Wellington, Ontario, Canada.
------
Another early settler was Mrs. George Wallace who with her husband and four sons, John, Alexander, Donald and Hugh, in the year 1825, left Scotland on the sailing vessel "Planet" for South America where they landed at Carracus, Venezuela. Eighteen months later they arrived in Guelph known as the LaGuayra settlers. George Wallace died August 18, 1828 and was the second body buried in the old cemetery behind Chalmers Church which is now a city parking lot. Mrs. Wallace and her four sons then settled in Pilkington where the sixth generation is still residing.

• Settled: on a farm on Wellington Road 7, Abt 1829, Ponsonby, Nichol Twp, Wellington, Upper Canada (Ontario), (Canada). The second farm is northwest of the first, farther from Guelph. From Jeanine Wallace (email 2 Jan 2010): "The second point is where Barbara and the boys settled their own farm (still there today). The info we have is that they moved to the farm on Wellington Road 7 in 1829, after George died. I don't believe the deed reflects that date, I'd have to double check the date, the deed is dated in either the 1830s or 1840s. I think they were 'squatters' for a while. Eventually Hugh and Donald took over the farm, splitting the land. As you know Donald moved to the U.S. and George (Hugh's son) took over Donald's 50 acres. The original log house and structures are not standing on the farm today, but we know approximately where they were located. One of the doors in our farm house (build 1874) was from the original log home, tore off when it burned."

Excerpts from....The Lasby Story
by Bill Lasby, Toronto, Canada.. June 18, 1969
(original is 9 typed pages)

at http://www.angelfire.com/in3/vanbrink/lasby.html:

In 1824, Charles Lasby and his wife, Margaret Challenor, and their family arrived in Pilkington from Stafforshire. Their arrival is recorded in John Connon's book as follows:

Charles Lasby and Margaret Challenor, his wife, were from Staffordshire, England. The date of their arrival is uncertain but it was not later than 1828. The farm on which they settled was on the south side of Cox's Creek at Ponsonby, and is now called "Fife" farm. The reason for selecting this was that the timber was thin along the banks of the stream while the beaver meadow there was heavy growth of wild grass with which to feed their oxen. Their house was on the side side leading to Bethany Church and the aged parents were buried on the Edgerton Fife farm.

They had a famliy of twelve of whom Joseph Lasby was one. He lived on that corner farm northeast of the Bethany Church. In 1837 he married Matilda Crowther and it is from this family that all in this locality by the name of Lasby are descended. Of their family of one girl and eight boys, the only ones now living are Mrs. John Seaton, of Altona, Michigan and Mr. Walter Lasby of Northfield, Minnesota. Joseph Lasby died in January, 1878 and Mrs. Lasby died in June of 1854. [the above book excerpt was published in 1930]

Bill Lasby continues...

In my search for details on the family I have developed information, some of which supplements Mr. Connon's information and some that differs from his.

I have established that the family arrived in 1824 and that Charles Lasby died in 1870. He is not buried on the Fife farm as recorded but his headstone is in the old Ponsonby cemetary. In my search I have located information on only five children of Charles Lasby and Margaret Challenor, and I have some questions as to whether or not there were twelve children as recorded by Connon.

My sister, Emily, who also has a keen interest in the family, spoke to the late Thomas Bye many years ago concerning the elder members of the Lasby family. He recalled Charles Lasby as an elderly man. At that time, Mr. Bye was a young boy and had been sent by his mother for a bucket of coals to light their fire. He recalls Mr. Lasby, who was working in the garden, as a very kindly short man with a sandy beard.

From http://www.waynecook.com/rose.html - the Ponsonby Pioneer Cemetery Rose Garden webpage:

following email was sent in by Jim Bellamy:
Some of the individuals listed are ancestors of mine. The family info I have collected suggests that several changes would make the info a little more accurate.
4. Joseph Labby D. Jan. 25th, 1878, 67 yrs.
5. Matilda wife of the above D. June 3rd., 1854, 36 yrs. old.
8. Also his daughter Mary wife of Daniel Peckover, D. Feb. 17th, 1855, 32 yrs. old.
10. Mary wife of Joseph Labby D. Dec. 31st, 1876, 28 yrs., 8 mos., 25 days.
14. Charles Labby D. June 10th, 1870, 89 yrs. old a native of Staffordshire.
The info I have and suggestions are as follows:
Charles Lasby (listed as 14. Charles Labby) was born circa 1781 in Milwich, Staffordshire, England. He married Margaret CHALLENNOR on 29 Jan 1807 in Milwich, Staffordshire, England. Margaret was born on 19 Sept 1784 in Milwich, Staffordshire, England. They emigrated to Canada circa 1828. Margaret died in 1856 in Ponsonby, Wellington, Canada West. (She should be listed in that cemetary.) Charles Lasby died 10 June 1870 in Elora, Ontario.
Joseph Lasby (listed as 4. Joseph Labby) was one of the sons of Charles Lasby and Margaret. Joseph Lasby was born 9 Dec 1810 in Milwich, Staffordshire, England. He married (date ?) Matilda Crowther (listed as 5. Matilda), born 12 June 1818 in London, Upper Canada. Matilda (Crowther) Lasby died 3 June 1854. Joseph Lasby died on 25 Jan 1878.
The name "Peckover" perhaps should be "Peskover". Not entirely sure but another ancestor Oliver Lasby married a Lydia Peskover in 1872 inElora, Ontario.

From The Early History of Elora, Ontario and Vicinity, pp. 28-29:

"Charles Lasby and Margaret Challener, his wife, were from Staffordshire, England. The date of their arrival in Pilkington is uncertain, but it was not later than 1828. The farm upon which they settled was on the south side of Cox's Creek, at Ponsonby, and is now called the 'Fife' farm. Their reason for selecting this was that the timber was thin along the banks of the stream, while on the beaver meadow there was a heavy growth of wild grass with which to feed their oxen. Their house was on the side road leading to Bethany Church, and the aged parents were buried on the 'Egerton Fife' farm. They had a family of twelve, of whom Joseph Lasby was one. He lived on that corner farm northeast of the Bethany Church. In 1837 he married Matilda Crowther, and it is from their family that all in this locality by the name of Lasby are descended."

From Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of York, Ontario, p. 37:
"John, of Nelson, married Mary Flewelling and had issue: Maurice, William, Jacob, Gilbert, Elizabeth and Catherine;"
---------
According to David Schachow in Genforum posting 4 Aug 2002 (Bastedo Family Genealogy Forum), John's middle name was Albert. Another researcher, Thomas A. Murray, has the middle initial C. A transcribed Census record has a John Bastedo with middle initial T, born about 1810, and probably a different person.

Birth Notes: The birth and death dates I have provided are based upon the obituary of Mrs. Mary Taylor (aka Great-Grandma Taylor to Will Wallace), which would make her dates 24 Jan 1793 to 26 Feb 1883.

Research Notes: The Wallace family tree constructed by Lorna (Wallace) Johnson in the 1940's has "Mary (Taylor)" as the mother of Harriet Lasby. That was probably an error.
----------
From Karen (Johnson) Fish 17 June 2010:

I am in possession of an obituary, torn from an 1883 newpaper, for Mrs. Mary Taylor, who I believe is this same person. The clipping was tucked inside a folded note written by William H. Wallace in 1880 (when he was 10 years old) or soon thereafter. The year "1883" is written in ink on the obituary.

William H. Wallace's note reads:
My Great-Grandma Taylor's son, had this knife thirty years, and, when he died, he gave it to her, and she had it twenty years, and then she gave it to me in the year 1880, and I am going to see how long I can keep it. W.H.W.

Who was the son who originally acquired the knife, around 1830?

Her obituary reads:
"Died.
On Monday afternoon, Feb. 26th [1883] at the residence of Mr. Thomas Crebbin. Mrs. Mary Taylor, aged ninety years, one month and two days. Funeral to take place from the house on Wednesday morning at 10:30 a.m."

Thomas Crebbin was the second husband of Mary's daughter Elizabeth (Bastedo) Patmore.

Mary next married < > Taylor after 1881.

56. Daniel Frederick "Frederick" Papst,^{243 244 245} son of Johan Adam Papst, (U.E.L.) and Eva Marie Ham, was born on 23 Jun 1768 in Albany (Schoharie), New York, (United States), was christened on 17 May 1771 in Schenectady Reformed Church, Schenectady, New York, (United States), and died on 28 Mar 1848 in Osnabruck Twp, Stormont, Eastern District (Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry), Ontario, Canada at age 79. Other names for Daniel were Daniel Fridrich Papst, Frederick Papst, Daniel Frederick Poapst, Frederick Poapst, and Frederick Popps.

Christening Notes: The Schenectady Library website shows: "Paaps, Adam, and Eva Maria Hamin, Children: Daniel Frederick, bp. May 17, 1771."

Death Notes: Death date may have been 28 March 1849.

Research Notes: The spelling of the family surname varied from Papst to Poapst, sometimes Pabst. The Poapst family Bible has "Frederick Popps."

From http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2591631&id=I530974253:

Sp. at baptism were Daniel Frederich Ongar and Maria Magdalena Ongar (Schenectady Reformed Churchbook) The mother is called Eva Marie Hamin on the entry
---------
George Cloakey's email of 21 December 2009 includes the following information from Sam Poaps:

Ron Poapst's list of Daniel Frederick's children, obtained from his grandmother Velma McEwan, taken from the "Gideon Adams Bible," consists of 9 individuals:
John F Poapst (b 1795)
Mary Poapst (b 1798)
Elizabeth Popps (b 1800)
Peter Popps (b 1802)
George Popps (b 1804)
Catherine Popps (b 1807)
Ann(e) Popps (b 1810)
Margaret Popps (b 1813)
Jacob F Popps (b 1818)

Not listed in that family Bible are:
Frederick (b 1798) - Possibly the same person as John Frederick?
Susannah (b 1799)

There is a record of John applying to add an "F" to his name, which indicates that he did not have a middle initial prior to that time. Would he do this if he had a younger brother named Frederick? Is it possible he added "Frederick" in remembrance of a younger brother who died in childhood?

Noted events in his life were:

• Occupation: Yeoman.

• Owned: Lot 22 in concession 9 in Winchester, 1803, Osnabruck Twp, Stormont, Eastern District (Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry), Ontario, Canada.

Birth Notes: Birthdate may have been 13 Dec 1766.

Research Notes: Several variations of her surname appear in records, including Mary Wardle or Mary Werely (Wereley), although some variant of Werely is most common. John Poaps stated 3 Aug 2002 that the name was Wardle "in the family bible of the Poapst family in Cornwall, Ontario." It is "Whereley" in a handwritten transcription by Vella (Velma) McEwan from the "Gideon Adams" Bible. It is spelled both "Whereley" and "Wereley" in another Poapst family Bible. All are in different hands.

Was Daniel Papst her second husband perhaps?

"...Alonzo Wereley's grandfather, Peter Wereley, together with a brother George Wereley and two sisters, Mary Wereley, who afterwards became Mrs. Frederick Poapst, and Margaret Wereley, who married a Mr. Coons, all came from New York State as [United Empire] Loyalists. Peter was born in 1789 and at the age of 17 he and his brother and sisters were among the first settlers on Crown Lands in Osnabruck's 4th concession. He died in 1871 at the age of 82 years and Alonzo Wereley is carrying on the family tradition as to age very well.

"'I often heard my grandfather tell of the depredations of wolves in those early days,' said Mr. Wereley. 'Wolves were very plentiful and one day one of his cows came home with her face all scratched and bleeding after fighting to keep the wolves away from her calf.'

"Peter and George Wereley settled on adjoining farms, each having 100 acres and Peter often carried feed in a sack on his back across the length of one farm to the other."

From "St. Lawrence Valley Cemetery" website (http://stlawrencevalleycemetery.ca/history.html) :

Wood Monument

The Wood Monument is of great historical interest. It is situated at the south side of the cemetery, overlooking Lake St. Lawrence and visible from all areas. It was originally located in St. David's Anglican Church Cemetery, Wales, a small hamlet just south of the present site. The memorial is unique in design. It is made from metal manufactured at an iron foundry owned by Col. John R. Wood whose memory it commemorates. The foundry was located on the Wood Farm, a short distance west of the Village of Lunenburg, about two and a half miles north of the cemetery. The Wood Monument is surrounded in the cemetery by a number of monuments bearing the Wood name, all descendants of Jonas Wood, U.E.L. Tribute is paid to the memory of Col. John R. Wood in the Historical Atlas of Ontario-Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry-1879. The descendants of Jonas Wood, (grandfather of John R. Wood) and his wife Sarah Osborne are many. The eight children of Jonas and Sarah all married and had large families and for the last two hundred years these have multiplied and spread out over Eastern Ontario and many other parts of Canada and the United States.

Noted events in his life were:

EXTRACTS OF MANUSCRIPT BY JOHN WALLACE (the younger)

My father, John Wallace, had the farms of Culrain and Gushack for 13 years from 1779-1792 at a rent of 140 bolls part barley part meal and duties of money, peats and hens. At that time he had no coup carts nor pick and spade. For driving the manure to the land he had a kind of cart and a basket of wicker work. The wheels of the cart were constructed of three sticks 6" in diameter which were crossed and fixed in the centre by an axle that turned with the wheels on tum'lers as they were called. Stones as well as manure were carried in these carts and they would carry a heavy load. The wicker basket cost a shilling and would last for two years. For carrying home peats and leading corn he made a very simple cart of two long shafts with cross sticks in the bottom and standing rungs with top rails. As soon as the crop was put in the carts were taken off the tum'lers and put in some shed until the peats were ready for carrying home. All the carriage of corn, meal and potatoes was done in bags on horseback. Going to the mill seven or eight horses would be tied in a row, the one to the other with halters made of horse hair. A boy had the first horse while two men were employed to keep the bags from falling. My father had three ploughs and six oxen to each plough. The ploughs were made by himself almost entirely of wood, all the iron used being a strong culter, a sock and a large hook fired at the point of the beam with a staple and a few nails which were required to fix the mouldboard of deals.. Then the oxen were strong, the ploughs would work as well as any made for years after. The harrows were made of birch, with five rungs across through the bills. He had no graips only two large forks, and in place of a mattock he had a croman or half mattock. For a spade he had a large wooden shovel mounted with iron at the point and up both sides. The thing was allowed to lie in the byres for a week and then it was carted to the midden on the wheelbarrow, or sometimes on a two handed barrow such as was used by the masons. Women took part in all the farm, except ploughing, threshing and carrying bags. Neither clover or turnips were grown, but there would be about sixteen bolls potatoes. The work in summer after sowing the barley about the 20th May was to cut the peats, and then to make middens for next year's barley. These middens were made of soil from outlying land mixed with the manure of horses and cattle. Horses and cattle got very little corn, but when any of the cattle were weak in spring they got sheaves of oats in the morning. At that time there were very few large farms. On the farm of Millcraig, (Mr. Wallace occupied Millcraig and Nonikiln till 1851) about 1760 there were eight tenants and ten ploughs with 60 animals, three ploughs are now sufficient. In my young days the large farm of Newmore was occupied by Alexander Rossor MacFinlay and his two sons, the rent being £80 and 80 bolls of grain. He and his sons were altogether of the old school. He had eight horses to carry home his peats using the rung carts with the tumblers. There was not so much as a pin of iron about the harness of the eight horses. For shoulder chains and hames birch wands were used instead of iron. I remember well seeing a pair of horses passing Nonikiln from Strathcarron to Inverness with furniture and there was not a single link or pin of iron about the horses or cart. The traces were made of deer skin and were tough and strong. The collars were made of ropes of straw twined threefold. These would last about a year but when made of loch rushes 4 ft. in length would last two years. The farmers made the harness themselves; in short they made everything. There was no need for saddlers, but weavers were numerous, and they got plenty of work to do. There was only one merchant in the parish of Rosskeen and it was from him my father bought his first spade. I wondered much at it, as it was the first spade I had ever seen.

MARRIED MEN SERVANTS WAGES

Married men for twelve months got £4, six bolls of meal, two days to cut peats, straw for a stirk, land for potatoes for their own manure land for sowing two pints of linseed. Shearers got (corn?) eighteen pecks of oatmeal by measure.

DIET OF SERVANTS

At breakfast "brochan" and pease meal bread; at dinner in Summer whey and bread; at supper sowens or "brochan". There was cabbage for dinner once a week and next day porridge made of what remained of the cabbage was taken with butter at breakfast. My father always fed a cow to be killed in winter, and as long as it lasted the servants got broth and sometimes beef. During winter and spring there was always plenty of home made ale and the servants occasionally got ale, butter and curds, but porridge was seldom seen. The servants got three feasts in the year, one on Old New Years Day, another when the barley was sown and another when the shearing was finished.

CLOTHING AND SOCIAL CUSTOMS

The clothing was very simple and plain. The men wore black knee breeches and bright blue coats made by their wives. The young men generally wore similar attire but some had kilts. Even the larger farmers wore broad blue bonnets and no hats were to be seen. About 1792 some favourite sons began to get trousers, and by 1850 breeches had almost disappeared. In my father's time no farmers' wives had prints or cotton gowns. Their gowns were of their own making, chiefly wincey. The wives wore a small tartan shoulder plaid, and it was considered decent for a farmer's wife to have a clean white towel on her head above the mutch or cap. No young ladies covered their head until married. Their hair was their pride. It was all combed down their shoulders and when at work was tied at their back with tape. At the marriage ceremony, the bride was always covered with a scarlet plaid, and if she had not one of her own got the loan of one. The gatherings at marriages were usually very large, and there was music and. dancing on four nights, on Thursday night at the feet washing; on Friday night after the marriage; on Saturday evening and part of the day and again on Tuesday at what was called the home wedding.

MEMORABLE YEARS:

Under this heading Mr. Wallace refers to the remarkably wet year of 1782 which was called the Black Year. There was scarcely a dry day during the whole Spring, while summer and autumn were also very wet. The crop was late and miserably poor, in fact the greater portion of it never ripened at all. Mr. Calder, the minister in Roskeen, was paid in grain and all he got in that year was 16 bolls of barley from my father and these 16 bolls scarcely made 8 bolls of meal. Many cattle died in the spring but none of the inhabitants succumbed to the hardships of the famine. I was told, however, that many deaths would have occurred had it not been that cargoes of white pease which had been intended for the troops engaged in the American War, but which on the announce-ment of peace, were sent North and came to Ross-shire and the pease distributed among the more needful. My father was present at the distribution. The following year was as singularly dry as 1782 was exceptionally wet. The crop was very early, some of it being stored by the end of August, but owing to the inferior quality of much of the seed of the crop of 1782, the general yield was very poor. Many farmers fell in arrears and some of them never got over it. The year 1792 was quite as remarkable in Ross-shire. A few years before this sheep farming was begun in the County of Ross and the natives believing that this innovation would compromise their comforts and privileges begun about this year to display formidable opposition to the movement. The native farmers, tradesmen and labourers resolved to gather the whole stock of sheep in Sutherland and Ross and drive them over the southern borders into Inverness-shire. Accordingly arrangements for the outrage against sheep farmers was made by proclamation at the Church doors. A mob of people met and having collected above 10,000 sheep, they were proceeding with their flock along the heights of the parish of Alness, when they learned that Colonel Sir Hector Munro of Novar was on his way from Fort George with a company of the 42nd Highlanders to suppress their depredations. The sheep gatherers dispersed immediately, but a good many were apprehended and tried in the Circuit Court at Inverness. Two were transported but the others got off with imprisonment, The commencement of this affair was as follows:

Captain Allan Cameron and his brother Alexander Cameron took the farms of Fyrish and Culcraggie along with the grazings of Gildermorrie on the heights of Alness. The Ardross tenants had previously grazed their cattle all summer on Gildermorrie, and having wandered back to their old pastures, the Camerons pounded them and enclosed them in a large fank which they had built for the purpose. That day the Ardross tenants were hearty at a wedding in Strathrushdale, but on hearing what had happened to their cattle, they proceeded in a body to Gildermorrie where an ugly fight took place between them and the Camerons. The year 1800 was a very dry year scarcely a drop of rain fell during the Summer. The crop was not half average in bulk. I got 50 shillings for barley, 48 shillings for oatmeal and 40 shillings for potatoes. The year 1811 was very wet and the greater portion of the crop dreadfully damaged. I got 54 shillings for barley that year. The crops of 1816 and 1817 were also bad while in 1836 the whole crop would scarcely pay my rent.

Noted events in his life were:

• Residence: Bonar Bridge, Tain, (Ross and Cromarty), Highland, Scotland.

• Held: the farms of Culrain and Gushack, 1776-1792. at a rent of 140 bolls part barley part meal and duties of money, peats and hens.

Death Notes: http://www.ponderroses.com/SteveJohnsonFamily/wc02/wc02_062.htm has b. 1743, d. 1829 in Stamford, Ontario, age 86.

http://bousfield.itgo.com/bastedooutline.htm has d. 1808, Halton, Ontario.

Research Notes: From http://bousfield.itgo.com/bastedoname.htm, quoting information compiled by Edward C. Russell, Ottawa, Ontario. January 1983:

"In 1628, the story goes, the progenitor of the Bastedo's in North America, having embraced the reformed faith in this contentious Reformation period, was soon in trouble with the Roman Catholic hierarchy and the church court, the Inquisition. These Bastedo's fled from Spain and headed for the Netherlands, the historic refuge for religious dissenters and Protestant heretics. But within the year, it is said, the Bastedo's crossed to England, another hospitable land and a jump-off place for a new life in the New World. They landed eventually in the colony of New York.

"At this point the story becomes a bit puzzling. In 1628, where New York now stands, was called New Amsterdam and was certainly in the hands of the Dutch. The English were not in firm control of the colony until late in the 17th century. Indeed, that control just preceded the arrival of the Dutchman, William of Orange, on the throne of England.

"One account states that several of these American Bastedos lie buried beneath stones still extant in Little Trinity Church-yard on Broadway near Wall Street in New York City. So, when this trans-Atlantic migration was made, is not at all clear. However, it is known that Bastedos eventually settled in what was then called Albany County and owned a large tract of land which they developed as farmland, where the city of Schenactady now stands. Jacob Bastedo the progenitor of all the Canadian Bastedos, was born there in 1743.

"Jacob Bastedo of Schenectady was born in that place, probably on the family farm, in 1743. So far, we do not know the identity of his parents nor the number of siblings. In 1767, he married a girl of Dutch descent, Clarissa Jean vanSlyke, One source says that Clarissa was a great grand daughter of Cornelious vanSlyke 'The Trader,' who in turn was a grandson of Cornelious Antonissen vanSlyke, a Hollander, and the first patentee of the Katskill (1746). The vanSlykes are said to have come to North America about the same time as the Bastedos (1628)... Much of the vanSlyke land came from OchToch and her son, Jacques, although Cornelious himself had land grants."
-----------

From Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of York, Ontario, p. 37:

The Bastedos trace their descent from the important Spanish family of De La Bastido, of whom the chief is the Marquis De La Bastida, member of the Chamber of Deputies for the Balearic Islands. Another is Don Guillermo De La Bastida, treasurer of the Province of Badajoz. The progenitor of the Bastedo family, having embraced the faith of the Reformed Church, was forced to leave Spain and take refuge in Holland, whence about 1778 he or one of his descendants emigrated to America, ultimately settling at Schenectady, New York. Of this branch of the family was Jacob Basted, as the name became Anglicized, who, abandoning a valuable estate in Schenectady, came to Canada as a United Empire Loyalist, and settled first at Cataraqui (Kingston), where he had a grant of 800 acres, but removed to Stamford, County of Welland, Ont. He married Clarissa Jean Van Slyke, whose sister married a Van Buren, and their son, Martin Van Buren, was President of the United States from 1837 to 1841. Another sister was married to Major Tice, a Royalist officer. The children of Jacob and Clarissa Bastedo were: (1) Abraham; (2) Lewis; (3) David; (4) Joseph, killed at the battle of Chippewa; (5) Gilbert Tice; (6) John, of Nelson, married Mary Flewelling and had issue... (7) Cornelius, killed in the war of 1812."

Birth Notes: May have been born about 1734.

Research Notes: Some disagreement whether last name was Pabst or Papst, but Papst is most likely. The German word Papst means "Pope." The individual who wrote his will for him spelled his name "Adam Papst," but Adam signed his name on that will as "Adam Babst."
---------
Some online sources show Adam's parents as Johann Paul Pabst and Maria Dorothea Weiss. This may be incorrect.

From http://www.papst-family.canadianwebs.com/custom2.html :
"Johan 'Adam' Pabst ( aka Papst; embarked at the Bay of Philadelphia, Pennasylvania about 1750, died in Osnabruck Township, Storemont County around 1803-1807) married Eva Maria Hamm b. 1736 married in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania"

From George Cloakey email 21 Dec 2009:
"Adam served in the Revolutionary War as a member of the 84th Regiment, the King's Royal Regiment of New York. In this regiment he served with Butler's Rangers, and was awarded land in the eastern part of Upper Canada. Arrived in America on the ship Two Brothers captained by Thomas Arnot. Docked in Philadelphia on or about September 28, 1753. Spelled Papts on roll of Butler's Rangers. Signed his will as Adam Babst."

Cloakey quotes Vernon Buckley from 10 Sep 2000:
"The information I have from a old German Bible. Adam Papstt arrived in Philadelphia November the 8th, 1752. John Papstt arrived in Philadelphia September 28, 1753. The letter says that there were five other brothers. Where they went or if they stayed in Germany --here is nothing on them."

Cloakey quotes Sheri LeQuia:
"I just received from Annette K. Burgert, the author and researcher of emigrants from Germany to North America, a book titled Master Index to the Emigrants Documented in the Published Works of Annette K. Burgert F.A.S.G., F.G.S.P. Included in this index is an immigration of Johan Adam Probst which I think is one alternate spelling of Pabst- I have seen this spelling used on Pabst families I have researched. This immigration date is given as 1752. That is a match for your man isn't it?!!! The Source Volume listed is Northern Kraichgau. If I understand this correctly- it refers to the book Eighteenth Centruy Emigrants from German Speaking Lands to North America. (note that this could included Canada) Vol I: The Northern Kraichgau. Breinigsville, PA (1983) The Pennsylvania German Society (1982 Annual Volume #16) Out of Print."

Cloakey quotes Bill Hayes:
"Genevieve M. Templeton was the next to the last child of thirteen children born to Frederick W. Templeton and Elizabeth J. Papst, with my grandfather ( Rudolph Papst Templeton) being the thirteenth. Genevieve wrote a letter in May of 1966, I believe to my father. In this letter she gave some family history. I will copy a few paragraphs from the last page, as it pertains to the Papst family.

"'I haven't much on the Papst side of the family, only family tales. One was the original Papst was an officer in the German army, and he fell in love with a serving maid, and as is the custom in then German army an officer can not marry beneath their rank, so the tale goes. He had her sent over to England and resigned his office in the German army and married the gal, and brought her to U.S. Landing in Pennsylvania at Phila.'"

Cloakey quotes Bill Hayes:
"Written by Lt/Col Ervan Amidon was the following. In 1991 he obtained a copy of a letter written in 1971 by Anna Alicia Papst, (died 1983) daughter of Capt. Rudolph Papst (b. 1858). Col. Amidon said he had done a certain amount of editing of the letter. Col. Amidon wrote:

'Rudolph Papst was born in 1750 or 1752 in Germantown, part of Philadelphia. His father was Adam Pabstt who left Bonn (1749 or 1751) in the Archbishopric of Cologne. Adam Pabstt fled to Hamburg where he hid on a British ship. His girl friend and her family were emigrating from the Palatinate on the Rhine, to Philadelphia. I don't know her name. (***Col. Amidon is convinced this was Eva Maria Hamm).

'Adam Pabst's father was a wealthy merchant who became Burgomaster of Bonn and had hoped to marry his son Adam, to an impoverished baroness. However, the son Adam gave his father the slip and was hidden in a barrel on the ship until the ship sailed from Hamburg. Then Adam Pabstt married the girl aboard ship. The ship sailed from Hamburg to Philadelphia.

'Adam Pabstt was a Roman Catholic and she was a Lutheran. They compromised and both went into the Church of England. Rudolph Papst, their oldest son, was a great church man.'"

From George Cloakey:
"Johan Adam who fought with Butler's Rangers was given his land, 300 acres in Winchester."

Cloakey quotes Bill Hayes from 15 Sep 2003:
Written below is a claim by Johan Adam Papst for the monetary loss of items due to his loyalty to the British government during the Revolutionary War. John Poaps sent this to Bill Hayes Sept 15, 2003.

So they got into Toronto, and I understand that is where they the Papst Hessians got their 160 acres on Young Street in Toronto, and which grandfather John Papst sold when he went to California. The story goes that Old Granny Papst had when she fled the colonial army was baby on one arm and a black cooking pot on the other. I have often heard my mother say "old Granny Papst couldn't speak English, so she must have lived a long time. There was an old Dutch Bible with family record in it.

from Harold Miller who did the research on Berne, NY area, stated the following in March 2008:
"Continuing my research to answer your questions, I find that Johan Adam Papst, father of Maria Papst, served in Butler's Rangers and was awarded land in the eastern part of Upper Canada according to George Cloakey.. John Papst, b. 1777, youngest brother of Maria Papst, died in 1869 in Osnabruck, Ontario. Maria's sister Elisabeth, married Gotlieb Otto, a distant cousin of mine, and they too moved to Osnabrouck (spelling?). Another brother, Rudoph Papst moved to Upper Canada. "
------------
From http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~poaps/Biographies.htm:
Among the papers of Albert Wilson Otto (1856-1937) of Cut Knife, Sask., held by his descendants, is an account he recorded 1930 of an incident involving John Poapst. I know of no reason it would be passed down in the Otto family if it weren't related to the family of Johan Adam Papst.

"John Poapst was shot in the War of Independence with a charge of buckshot and was badly wounded. He managed to get away and his in a mow of hay in a barn. The enemy saw him and came into the barn looking for him. One of them came into the hay to look for him, and it was said by some of the old people that once it passed down through the hair of his head, but he laid quiet as he could and was not discovered by them. His wound was very painful and he was nearly starved with nothing to eat, but was afraid to venture out of his hiding place.

"When night came an old darkey and his wife came into the barn to do up some evening chores and he heard her saying, "I wonder where that poor man is? If I knew I would get him something to eat. John thought that this was only a ruse to lure him out to capture him, so he did not let them know that he heard them.

"The next evening he again hear her saying the same thing, but was still afraid that it only was a ruse to make him come out, so he lay still. His wound was now so painful and he was so hungry that he saw that he would die anyway. He made up his mind that if he heard her saying that again that he would venture out, which he did and nearly scared them into to fits for they were very superstitious and they thought he was a ghost.

"The old lady went to their cabin and brought him something to eat and then they hid him again until after night and the old darkey paddled him across the river to the British lines. After many narrow escapes, John at last reached the British lines in safety."

Johan married Eva Marie Ham ⁶² in 1753 in <Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, (United States)>. Eva was born about 1736 in <Baden-Baden, Germany>, was christened on 17 May 1771 in Schenectady Reformed Church, Schenectady, New York, (United States), and died after 1807 in Upper Canada (Ontario), (Canada).¹⁵¹ Other names for Eva were Eva Maria Hamin, Eva Marie Hamin, Eva Marie Hamm, and Eve Mary Hamm.

Marriage Notes: The source at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~poaps/FamilyTree.htm and an E-mail from George Cloakey 21 Dec 2009 have their marriage in 1756 in Philadelphia.

However, they may actually have been married on the ship from Hamburg to Philadelphia, which docked on or about 28 September 1753. This would place the year of their marriage in 1753.

According to Ronald Poapst (10/29/11), they were married by the ship's captain on the boat that carried them down the Rhine River when Johan Adam ran away from home. That would have been around 1752.

Children from this marriage were:

          i.  Rudolph Papst ^{335 336 337} was born about 1759 in <(Schoharie)>, New York, (United States) and died on 29 Jul 1829 in Toronto, York, Upper Canada (Ontario), Canada about age 70. Another name for Rudolph was Poapst Rudolph.

         ii.  Anna Maria Papst ^{244 335 338} was born about 1761 in Albany (Schoharie), New York, (United States) and died on 17 Feb 1848 about age 87. Other names for Anna were Maria Paaps, Anna Maria Pabst, Ann Maria Papst, and Mary Papst.

        iii.  Maria Barbara Papst ^{151 338 339 340} was born on 7 Nov 1762 in Schoharie Twp, Albany (Schoharie), New York, (United States),³⁴¹ died in 1798 in Wisconsin, United States at age 36, and was buried in Perkins Twp, Erie, Ohio, United States. Another name for Maria was Mary Barbara Papst.

         iv.  Anna Hannah Papst ¹⁵¹ was born about 1763 in <Schoharie>, Albany, New York, (United States)¹⁵¹ and died in 1798 in New York, United States about age 35.

          v.  Elisabeth Papst ^{244 338 342 343} was born about 1765 in New York, (United States) and died about 1787 in Osnabruck Twp, Lunenburg (Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry), Quebec (Ontario), Canada about age 22. Another name for Elisabeth was Elizabeth Poapst.

         vi.  Margretha Papst ^{344 345} was born on 8 Aug 1767 in Palatine, (Montgomery), New York, (United States)¹⁵¹ and was christened on 24 Sep 1767 in Reformed Church of Stone Arabia, Palatine, (Montgomery), New York, (United States). Another name for Margretha was Margaret Papst.

56      vii.  Daniel Frederick "Frederick" Papst ^{243 244 245} (born on 23 Jun 1768 in Albany (Schoharie), New York, (United States) - died on 28 Mar 1848 in Osnabruck Twp, Stormont, Eastern District (Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry), Ontario, Canada)

       viii.  Catharina Papst ^{244 346 347} was born on 30 Jul 1773 in <Schoharie>, Albany (Schoharie), New York, (United States) and was christened on 30 Jul 1774 in Schoharie Lutheran, Schoharie, Albany (Schoharie), New York, (United States). Another name for Catharina was Catherine Papst.

         ix.  Johannes Papst ^{48 244 348 349} was born on 12 Jul 1777 in Brunswick, (Rensselaer), New York, United States, was christened on 11 Jan 1778 in Gilead Evangelical Lutheran Church, Center Brunsbrun, Brunswick, (Rensselaer), New York, United States, and died on 20 Jan 1869 in <Osnabruck Centre>, Osnabruck Twp, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, Ontario, Canada at age 91. Other names for Johannes were Johannes Babst, John Adam Papst [2], John Papst, and John Adam Poapst [2].

113. Eva Marie Ham ⁶² was born about 1736 in <Baden-Baden, Germany>, was christened on 17 May 1771 in Schenectady Reformed Church, Schenectady, New York, (United States), and died after 1807 in Upper Canada (Ontario), (Canada).¹⁵¹ Other names for Eva were Eva Maria Hamin, Eva Marie Hamin, Eva Marie Hamm, and Eve Mary Hamm.

Birth Notes: Lorna Wallace, daughter of Edith Poapst, believed Eva Maria Hamm was born in Baden-Baden. Other sources have Ontario, Canada.

Research Notes: Ambiguous information from handwritten note by Lorna (Wallace) to Danielle Fowler:
"My great grandmother on my mother's side... came to Canada from Baden-Baden, Germany*." [Footnote: "Ask [Lorna's brother] Stan if I'm right about this."]
----------
There are thus far no definitive answers about Eva's parentage or where and when she and Johan were married.

From George Cloakey 23 Dec 2009:

..."[Y]ou will see from the data that there are a lot of different opinions for some things--like where Adam and Mary were married. Since Mary was not on the Two Brother's ships list, it is hard to prove that they were married prior to arriving in Philadelphia [abt 28 September 1753].

There was a Friederich Hamm on the Two Brothers, and it has been assumed by many that he was Mary's father. However, Amidon (the Papst research guru) points toward Mary being born in New York Colony to Casper Ham. Casper and his wife Ann Leych had a daughter Maria born 3 Aug 1732. But neither side appears to have proof. If it was Casper's daughter, then the passed down stories of how Adam and Mary met would have no basis in fact. But then which of the many stories does one "hang their hat on?"
Here is what I have in my file on Friederich:

Believed to be the father of Eva Maria as he was on the same ship as Adam Papst--but far from proven.

The following is a possibility
Baptism Records of the Gallatin Reformed Church: Gallatinville Gallatin Reformed Church 1748-1899
Baptism Date: 12 Nov 1786
Father: Friedrich Stickel
Mother: Elizabeth Hamel
Item #: 934
Child: Friedrich
Sponsor: Friedrich Ham; Maritje Schmit
Birth Date: 01 Nov 1786

It is also very possible that Maritje Schmit was the wife of Friederich and the mother of Eva Maria. Johan Adam Schmit was also on the same ship and he could well be Maritje's father. It is also possible that this is a different Friederich."

Eva married Johan Adam Papst, (U.E.L.) ^{48 330 331} in 1753 in <Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, (United States)>. Johan was born about 1732 in Bonn, Westphalia, Germany,²⁴⁴ was christened on 17 May 1771 in Schenectady Reformed Church, Schenectady, New York, (United States), and died between 1803 and 1807 in <Osnabruck Centre>, Osnabruck Twp, Stormont, Eastern District (Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry), Ontario, Canada. Other names for Johan were Adam Paaps, Adam Pabst, Johan Adam Pabst, John Adam Papst, Johan Adam Poapst, and John Poapst.

Research Notes: Dutch

Probably the same person as Peter Wearly, p.401 of Lunenburgh, or the Old Eastern District by J.F. Pringle, 1890. If so, he was in the R.R.N.Y. [King's Royal Regiment of New York (Sir John Johnson's corps.)] who settled in the eastern part of Upper Canada, having fought on the side of the Crown.

May not be the same person as Peter Wardle. It is fairly certain that he was the father of Mary Werley/Wardle, wife of Daniel Frederick Papst (Frederick Papst).

Noted events in his life were:

• Residence: 1754, Stone Arabia, Albany (Montgomery), New York, (United States).

• Served: in the King's Royal Regiment of New York (K.R.R.N.Y.) ³⁵² during the Revolutionary War. Inserted into the U.E.L. list after its publication in 1885.

• Census: 1790.

• Witness: to the will of Adam Papst, 31 Jul 1803, Osnabruck Twp, Stormont, Eastern District (Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry), Ontario, Upper Canada (Canada). He signed his name "Peter Wereley."

• Settled: 1805, Lunenburg, Osnabruck Twp, Stormont, Eastern District (Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry), Ontario, Canada.

• Occupation: Farmer, 1879.

• Probably owned: 50 acres in Lot A of 5th concession, 1879, Osnabruck, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, Ontario, Canada. Name on map is "P. H. Werley." To the north of this lot were E. Werley and J. H. Shaver, and to their nort were P. H. Werley's other 195 acres.

• Probably owned: 195 acres of Lot 2 in 5th Concession, 1879, Osnabruck Twp, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, Ontario, Canada. Name on map given as "P. H. Werley." To the north were J. P. Werley and Ira Bush. To the south were E. Werley and J. H. Shaver, and immediately to the south of them was a 50-acre strip also owned by P. H. Werley.

Peter married Maria Schmitt ³⁵¹ about 1773 in <New York, United States>. Another name for Maria was Maria Smith.

Children from this marriage were:

          i.  George Wereley ^{244 353} was born about 1775 in New York, (United States) and died after 1817. Another name for George was George Werley.

"John Wood, born c1764, my great great grandfather, is said to be buried in Spring Hill Cemetery. He was the 4th son of Jonas Wood b 1737 and his wife , Sarah Osborne b; 1735. Jonas lived at Kakkiat N.Y. but moved to the east branch of the Delaware, N.Y. where they established a farm and 8 children were born: Jonas 1760, Benjamin 1761: William 1762: John 1764: Roger 1766: Nathaniel 1770: Sarah 1772. Jonas came to Canada in 1780 because of the part he played in the American Revolution. In his Claim for losses dated at Montreal, 28 Feb 1788, Jonas says he always took an active part in favour of Great Britain and was taken prisoner by the Rebels in 1778 for assisting British Scouts. He was tried for his life at Esopus for murder. He broke gaol and escaped to Canada after being four weeks in distress in the woods. He never served in any corps. He had 4 sons in the army and resides in New Johnstown. He had 50 acres of improved land on the Delaware. He had built himself a house and a barn and stable, all burnt and destroyed by the rebels. He drove his cattle to Col. Butler. He lost 9 horses, 30 sheep, 2 calves, 12 hogs and furniture and farming utensils and a loom and crops in the barn. Jonas Jr. and Ben were in the Butler's Rangers; William, John, and Roger were listed in the Kings Royal Regiment of New York. The 2 youngest- Nathan and Steve were naturally too young to fight. The mother Sarah after a hazardous journey reunited with her husband and sons on the Isle of Jeus in the St. Lawarence."

This was written by Jessie E. Robertson, a Wood relative who lived in Vernon, Ontario. Unknown date.

From http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=cornwalls&id=I49 :

"After first settling in Warwick, Orange Co., New York, Jonas and Sarah found fifty acres of property about 40 miles northwest of Warwick in a newly opened section of New York, known as the Great Hardenburgh Patent. They were able to procure this at a nominal rent of five pounds a year. Leaving Jonas' parents and his brother in Warwick in 1775, the family moved to their new home. The property was located on the south bank of the East Branch of the Delaware River (Ulster County) about half way between the present villages of Margaretville and Downsville. Twenty-six other families settled near them, forming the village of Pepacton. During the Revolutionary War, Jonas and his sons were loyal to the Crown of England. They were Tory's and Jonas sacrificed his cattle, driving them through the forest to Colonel John Butler* to help feed the British troops. Jonas stayed home and kept on farming.

"In 1777 the Patriot settlers, because of the burning and plundering of their Patriot settlements on the Hudson by the Tory Volunteers, attached the Pepacton settlement and destroyed everything but a few known Patriots. Jonas Wood's buildings were burned and his livestock and crops stolen. He and his family escape into the forest. The next time Brant went down the trail, Jonas Wood went with him.

"In 1778 he was seized for assisting the British scouts and tried at Esopus (Kingston) for murder and was confined at Sussex, Goshen and Esopus for 2 years and 4 months. In July 1780, the night before he was to be executed, he escaped to Niagara and reached Canada where he settled at New Johnstown with his wife and family. (New Johnstown was settled in 1784 and renamed Cornwall in 1787.)

"Because of the part he played in the American Revolution, Jonas filed a claim for losses in Montreal, dated February 28, 1788. He said he always took an active part in favor of Great Briton and was taken prisoner by the rebels in 1788 for assisting British scouts. He was tried for his life at Esapus (Kingston) for murder. He broke jail and escaped to Canada after being four weeks in distress in the woods. He never served in any corps but four of his sons served in the army and resided in New Johnstown. Jonas claimed he had fifty acres of improved land on the Delaware with a house, barn and stable, which were all burnt and destroyed by the Rebels. He lost nine horses, 30 sheep, two calves, twelve hogs, furniture, farming utensils and a loom and crops in the barn. His sons, Jonas Jr. and Benjamin were in Butler's Rangers and William, John and Roger were listed as being in the King's Royal Regiment of New York. The two youngest, Nathan and Steve were to young to fight. After a hazardous journey, Sarah was reunited with her husband and sons on the Isle of Jesus in the St. Lawrence."

From Biographical Sketches of Loyalists of the American Revolution by Gregory Paulmer, 1984 (as quoted in the above source):
"Wood, Jonas of N.Y. was a native of America. He lived on the Delaware River in Ulster County, where he leased 100 acres, fifty cleared. He was seized in 1778 for assisting British Scouts and tried at Esopus [Kingston] for murder, but escaped and reached Canada, where he settled at Johnstown. Wood had eight children in 1788. Four of his sons had served in the British Army--three in the Royal Regiment of New York and one in Butler's Rangers. Wood estimated his loss at 150# sterling and received 106# sterling."

Wood Monument

The Wood Monument is of great historical interest. It is situated at the south side of the cemetery, overlooking Lake St. Lawrence and visible from all areas. It was originally located in St. David's Anglican Church Cemetery, Wales, a small hamlet just south of the present site. The memorial is unique in design. It is made from metal manufactured at an iron foundry owned by Col. John R. Wood whose memory it commemorates. The foundry was located on the Wood Farm, a short distance west of the Village of Lunenburg, about two and a half miles north of the cemetery. The Wood Monument is surrounded in the cemetery by a number of monuments bearing the Wood name, all descendants of Jonas Wood, U.E.L. Tribute is paid to the memory of Col. John R. Wood in the Historical Atlas of Ontario-Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry-1879. The descendants of Jonas Wood, (grandfather of John R. Wood) and his wife Sarah Osborne are many.

It is unknown when he moved to Willington Vermont, it is beleived that it was some tiime before 1786. He was imprisoned at least 6 times by the American Goverment. In March 1786 Paul was living in New Johnstown in the District of Montreal, in the Province of Qucbec, Canada,. (which is now known as Cornwell, Ontriao, Canada,.) I have found that Paul Drew is listed in Upper Canada Militia Rolls of Colonel James Gary's Company on February, 1789. It listed :
Paul Drew, 60 years of age, marital status not indicated, no concession or not shown, no years of service shown, country of orgin not shown, and no remarks nor regiment notes. So if he was of rank of Captain Colonel Gray would have stated it. With this same paper all the enlisted and officers are list even if retired.

If anyone has any info that is different or has proof of a rank I do want to see it, other wise it will stand that he was a common settler.!!!!


Paul Drew (First) was born abt 1735 and died in 1814 according to the Will and probate. He was married to Margaret Unknown abt 1757

Paul and Margaret had 5 living children at the time of his death.
1. Paul Drew (Second) was born abt 1758. I still do not know who his wife is/was but they had Paul Drew (Third) born abt 1782 and the recipient of some proceeds of Paul (First's) will. Also a William Drew born about 1783.

Paul Drew and Margaret had 4 girls as well
2. Agnes Drew (abt 1759) married Thomas Young
3. Mary Drew (abt 1762) married (abt 1779) Cpl. John Bradshaw born Co.. Armagh, Ireland. John and Mary are prominent ancestors and Gn.parents for many of our cousins including Jacob J. Poapst and Mary Bradshaw; James Bradshaw and Rachel Eamon; Jane Bradshaw and Jacob Martin Shaver; Nancy Bradshaw and David McWilliams; Elizabeth Bradshaw and John Collins; Margaret Bradshaw and Jacob Rombough.
4. Abigail Bradshaw married John R. Wood
5. Margaret Drew married Roger Wood

Cpl. John Bradshaw is recorded in the Crowder Early Settler lists for Osnabruck. Very little is known about him however we see that he was the town constable in Osnabruck Centre

Cpl John Bradshaw's daughter Nancy Posted by: Linda McDonald
Date: July 06, 2001 at 09:48:50 In Reply to: Cpl John Bradshaw UEL Born abt 1761 by Gord Adams

Gord,
Can't help you much with John Bradshaw, but his daughter Nancy was one of my husband's ancestors. She was said to be from "Asnabruck." Her first husband David McWilliams died and she married again. McWilliams "had been downed while on a horse back journey to look after his UEL land." She married David Brown of Mouontain township of Dundas Co., Ontario, Canada. David's first wife, Margaret Guernsey, died there in 1806. David Brown was also a UEL loyalist and was from Vermont. From thier second marriage, Nancy & David Brown had 9 children.
The only source I have besides family tradition, is what I found in "Loyalist Lineages of Canada," Vol II, Part 1, p. 116, where there is a list of John Bradshaw's seven childen, which included Nancy and her husband David McWilliams. It said John was in the King's Royal Regiment of New York.
Thanks.

From RootsWeb.com, William Akin, 7/25/2006 :

Charles Wells (1745-1815)

Charles Wells, born 06 Apr 1745 son of Benjamin Wells and Temperance Butler, married 27 Dec 1764 Michal Owings who died on 17 May 1783, two months after the birth of her 10th child. He then married 24 Jul 1784 Elizabeth Prather, daughter of Charles Prather and Ruth Tannehill. They had 12 children making a total of 22 for Charles. The 20th was named "Twenty Wells" b: 23 Nov 1798 and was described in her father's will. (also mentioned below) as "a helpless child". His 3rd child, Temperance Wells b: 01 Sep 1769 m: 1) Nathaniel Wells (b: 01 Apr 1762) and thus formed one of the Big Wells-Little Wells family bonds. Nathaniel Wells was a son of Alexander Wells and Leah Owings.

Sistersville [West Virginia]
"Charles Wells also had his ties with a town called Sistersville. The exact year that Charles Wells, the first settler of prominence, arrived in the area which is now called Sistersville, is not known. In 1800, he had surveyed a tract of 200 acres on the Ohio River. Charles Wells was a man of prominence, who was involved with the Virginia State Legislature between 1789 and 1810. Sometime around 1802, Wells left Wellsburg in a flatboat and floated down the Ohio River to settle one mile below where Sistersville now exists. In his cargo was the machinery for a horse mill which he established. He built a log cabin just south of where the Sistersville Golf Course is today.

"On May 9, 1813, he acquired four hundred acres of land on which Sistersville and close residential area is located. Soon after the first court of Tyler county was held in his home, Charles Wells died in 1815. His grave has this inscription: "Charles Wells, born April 6, 1745; died April 6, 1815: aged 70 yrs. and ten days; a native of Baltimore County Maryland; immigrated to Ohio County, Virginia, 1776. He was a practical farmer and the father of twenty-two children, two wives, ten by the first and twelve by the second."

"His will provided for each living member of his family. In 1815, the Wells sisters, (Sarah and Delilah Wells Grier) laid out the town on the land which they had inherited. Sistersville hence got its name from the seventeenth and eighteenth children of Charles Wells. The town was incorporated Feb. 2, 1839, under the name Sistersville and in 1845, the municipal government was established.

"Charles died April 16,1815 in Baltimore County, MD."

"This list of taxables is recorded in Reverend Ethan Allen's book entitled Historical Sketches of St. Paul's Parish in Baltimore County, Maryland which he compiled in 1855. A copy is available in the Maryland Historical Society Library in Baltimore. Each person named therein is followed by a number which represents the number of taxables in his house. This list, in 1774, ony gives the household head by name. The list also contains names of persons in Rev.

192. Lachlin Wallace,^{56 208 421 422} son of Alexander Wallace and Mary Monase, of Kiltearn, was born in 1701 in Ross-shire (Ross and Cromarty), Scotland and died in 1756⁴²³ at age 55. Another name for Lachlin was Lachlan Wallace.

General Notes: Two sons, three daughters.

Donald Wallace (1816-?) letter to Ed H. Wallace dated 4 Jun 1896 has b. 1701; d. 1756. "Tradition says the first Wallace came to Ross[-s]hire as a manager to George McKinrie [Mackenzie (1630-1714), Earl of Cromerty [Cromarty], and that I am the ninth generation, him my great-great-grandfather, was Alex. Wallace. He was born about 1660; he died about 1740. He was twice married, and had 21 children. He was a very brave man. Lachlin [Lachlan?], my great-grandfather, was his son. It was from him that most of the Wallaces in Ross-shire sprung. He [Lachlin] was born 1701, died 1756. He had two sons, three daughters. His youngest son, John, was my grandfather. He [John?] left large offspring. Since the year 1838 he [John?] had 5 sons and 4 daughters. He [John?] died in 1849. His [Alexander's] oldest son, Lachlin, was my great-grandfather; his son John was my grandfather; one of his sons, George, was my father."

Research Notes: Eldest son of Alexander Wallace.

Per Donald Wallace in 4 Jun 1896 letter to Ed H. Wallace, Lachlin was born in 1701 and died in 1756. If this is so, and his father, Alexander, did not marry Mary Monase until 1705, Lachlin may have been born out of wedlock.

Research Notes: Dutch.

From http://www.edenstree.com/:

In speculative view, the roots of our branch of the Wereley family extend back to the Palatine Migrations from Germany. Some Palatine immigrants came directly from the Palatinate through Rotterdam; others journeyed farther through Holland and England, then on to the Colonies. They moved to avoid heavy taxation and harsh conditions in their homeland, and by 1750, an estimated 70-80,000 Germans had emigrated. Most sought land grants promised by William Penn and entered the Colonies through the port of Philadelphia. However, land grants were limited in number, and soon ran out, causing many immigrants to move on to the upstate NY area for farmland. Others entered through the ports of New England and New Amsterdam, traveling to the upper Hudson River Valley area to work in the Naval Stores Project, producing pitch for the Royal Naval Fleet, but they were less well documented. Only Philadelphia kept good records of immigrants and ships' passenger lists; other ports kept sparse records if any at all. It was not until 1820 that ports were required to keep records, making non-Philadelphia immigration before that time difficult to track. With the coming of the Revolution, many Palatines who fought against the rebels split off and traveled to Canada, principally to Stormont and surrounding counties in then Canada West, now called Ontario, and pledged loyalty to the Crown. This entitled many to UE land patents from the Crown in return for their support. The history of the Palatine migration is well documented, and visiting the links at the left will provide an evening's worth of good reading for the history buffs among us. Our purpose here is not necessarily to study the movements of the people geographically - but to examine their movements genetically.
Several principal male lines of the Wereley family and their probable progenitor are of particular interest: Hans Jerg Wehrli and his wife Barbara are recorded in 1754 in the Albany NY area with new-born daughter Eva Gertraut and son Pieter, born in 1753 according to KRRNY records. Pieter married Maria Schmitt (Smith) about 1773. Their son Peter begat the The Peter (Psalter) Werley line. Son George Werley Sr. sired George G. Werely Jr. b. 1808, and likely Jacob b. 1811 and Martin Wereley, b. 1815, each of whom founded long lines. Pieter and Maria also apparently begat John Wereley, b. 1778, who established the Schoharie line which stayed in the Schoharie region when the others emigrated to Canada. The John "Hansie" Werely, b. Abt. 1800 line through a branch yet to be discovered.. "Hansie" appears to have moved to Canada and wed Barbara Ann Werley - Peter "Psalter" Werley's daughter. The "Hansie" line later merged with the Martin Wereley line with the union of Hansie's son, Harvey and Martin's daughter, Henrietta Wereley. The various spellings are not typo's - the name began as Wehrli but mutated and was listed in official and anecdotal records variously as Werley, Wereley, Werely, Werlee, Werlie, Wearly, Warely, Warly, and on, often within the same family - same generation. To further stir the witch's brew, genealogists over the ages have innocently and understandably homogenized the name into one or two spellings. John (Schoharie) Wereley's will spells the name multiple ways in the same document! His own daughter likewise waffles between spellings.

Noted events in his life were:

• Residence: 1754, Stone Arabia, Albany (Montgomery), New York, (United States).

Hans married Barbara.

Children from this marriage were:

114       i.  Peter Wereley, (U.E.L.) ^{350 351} (born in 1753)

         ii.  Eva Gertraut Wehrli ⁴³⁵ was born on 15 Mar 1754 in <Stone Arabia>, Albany (Montgomery), New York, (United States).

Research Notes: "Patuxent John Dorsey"

----------
From The Founders of Anne Arundel and Howard Counties, p. 400:

"Patuxent John Dorsey of 'Dorsey's Search.'

"This pioneer settler of Howard signed his name 'John Dorsey, Jr.' His wife and Dr. Joshua Warfield, the writer of his will, recorded him 'Captain John Dorsey.' His neighbors called him 'Patuxent John Dorsey,' because his estate was on both sides of the north branch of the Patuxent, which up to 1725 was the division of Baltimore and Anne Arundel Counties. Patuxent John Dorsey's substantial manor house, now held by Mr. R. Dorsey Rogers, is immediately at Columbia, Post-office. Patuxent John Dorsey's father was Edward Dorsey, oldest son of Hon. John and Pleasance Ely."

Ibid., pp. 61-62:
"[Hon. John Dorsey's will reads, in part:] To my grandson, John Dorsey, son of my son, Edward Dorsey, deceased, my Patuxent plantation and lands thereunto adjoining called 'Dorsey's Search,' lying in Baltimore County [Anne Arundel County]. If no issue, to go to the three youngest grandchildren of my daughter, Deborah...
My son, Caleb, to be my administrator.--JOHN DORSEY. (Seal).'

"Mrs. Plesance Dorsey became Mrs Robert Wainwright. Her tract, 'The Isle of Ely,' was sold by her grandson, 'Patuxent John Dorsey,' to Basil Dorsey, of Caleb, whose homestead, 'Troy Hill,' was the former residence of Hon. John Dorsey."

Noted events in his life were:

• Inherited: "Dorsey's Search" on the Patuxent from his grandfather, Hon. John Dorsey, 1715, Baltimore Co., Maryland, (United States). The estate lay on both sides of the north branch of the Patuxent, hence the nickname "Patuxent John Dorsey."

• Built: Dorsey Hall manor house, early 1700's, Ellicott City, Anne Arundel (Howard), Maryland, (United States). From http://mht.maryland.gov/nr/NRDetail.aspx?HDID=1295&COUNTY=Howard&FROM=NRCountyList.aspx?COUNTY=Howard:

Description: Dorsey Hall is a six bay by one bay, 2 1/2-story stucco structure with a gable roof covered with asphalt shingles. This comprises the center and east sections of the house. Facing south, the house has a three bay by one bay, two-story stuccoed wing on the west. The first story of the main block has large 6/6 windows in the two west bays. The west-center bay has a six-panel door flanked by Greek Doric columns separating the door from 16-light sidelights. There is a 10-light transom above the door and a 4-light transom above each sidelight. Soffit and jambs are also paneled. There is a one-story porch with a brick deck, paired Greek Doric columns at each corner with a single pilaster on each wall, and a full entablature with pediment. The three east bays have 4/4 sash windows on the first story. The second story has 12/8 windows in the two west bays, while the four east bays have 9/6 windows. The south elevation of the west wing has 9/9 sash windows in the end bays of the first story. The second story has three 6/6 sash. There is a wooden box cornice with an ogee bed mold on both the main block and the wing. A flush brick chimney rises from both the east and west gable ends, and an exterior brick chimney on the east abuts the flush chimney. The roof has three gable-roofed dormer windows on the south side. On the interior, the first-story floor plan has an off-center passage with one room to the east, two rooms to the west of the passage, in the center of the whole house, a wing on the west side with one room and a stairway, and a wing on the north side of the center rooms with two rooms in it. There are no outbuildings to the property, and the ground has been re-graded so that it slopes away from the house at a greater angle than originally. The house is now surrounded by two-story office buildings.

Significance: Dorsey Hall is significant architecturally, as it embodies the distinctive characteristics of a well-preserved and detailed example of the vernacular dwellings of the early 19th century in Howard County. Where some buildings were constructed in one period in a typical center-passage Georgian mode, others, like Dorsey Hall, evolved into that pattern over many years, often resulting in a less-symmetrical building. Dorsey Hall is a good example of this kind of development. It is also significant for its association with the Dorsey family, one of the "first families" of Howard County.

• Sold: "The Isle of Ely" to Basil Dorsey, of Caleb, Aft 1733.

• Patented: a tract of 1,475 acres called "Dorsey's Partnership" with William Hall, 1 Jan 1760, Frederick Co., Maryland, (United States).
