[NI0017] Description: From Amsterdam via Rotterdam on the Vessel Rotterdam.

John Torrenga was living on a farm with his family in 1919 near West Point. It was owned by John W. Gay. (183 acres). Rebecca Torrenga Vanderwielen had commented to Phyllis Brooks Vanderwielen that John was not really a Torrenga. The date of his birth and the emmigration of his Mother may indicate this, but Foske could have married Albert in Holland and he simply emmigrated before her, which happened often.

Some records show his birth as 1867, but in the 1900 census he lists 1866.

In 1880, his birth place is listed as Holland in 1866/7.

In 1920 Census he is 52 years old. He lives in Wayne TWP, Tippecanoe County, Indiana with his wife Celia, aged 51, son Leroy aged 10, daughter Alberta Rhoda aged 23 and Stewart Rhoda, grandson, aged 3. He is a farmer.

In 1900 Census, he lists his Wife Cecila, children Florence, Rebecca, Alberta, Clara and one just born. He states he has two Servants, John born in Indiana and aged 13 (a farm hand) and Gertie Burkenpaus or Burkenpas born in Holland and aged 16.

[NI0021] In 1910 was a servant in the house of an Osterling Family. George Koning was also working there as a hired hand.

[NI0026] Derk was an Elder in the Old Holland Reformed Church in 1888. The church was built at a cost of $3000 and was located at 102 Hartford in Lafayette, Indiana. It could seat 150 and was built in 1866.

In 1880 listed his last name as Tanco. Apparently all brothers did. Only one son of Abel kept name.

[NI0029] At the time of the Napolean Decree, there lived about 20 families named Deelstra. My family was in Grouw. Perhaps this is the family:

Aangenomen familienaam 1811
Deelstra, Herre Lieuwes, Grouw

k. Antje 22 te Stiens, Akke 40, Lieuwe 30 te Leeuwarden

kk. Jan 8, Minte 6, Harmke 4, Herre 2, (v. Lieuwe) Mairie Grouw, fol. 63

This information contradicts the family information that Antje Deeres Deelstra was born in 1767 and would put her birth at about 1789. However, she married Ritske van der Wielen in 1797, which makes her too young. However it does make her more of child bearing age in 1811, with the birth of Herre VDW. There is a chance that the Antje above is not the Antje of my family. The family data does indicate she was from Grouw. One therory is that the above listing of her age is incorrect. Notice that the ages are not in chronological order. Perhaps the 22 behind her name should have been 42. That would put her birth at about 1768-9, which matches the death records found below. That theory contradicts the patronomic naming patter. If she was the oldest, she would have the female verson of Lieuwe, which her brother has.

Aangiftedatum 18 mei 1815, blad nr. 8
Herre Lieuwes Deelstra, overleden 18 mei 1815, oud 74 jaar, gehuwd

[NI0030] Listed her last name as Tanco on birth record of daughter Jennie, but Torrenga on birth of Mildred 10 years later.

[NI0031] Klaas and Rebecca had 9 children. From facts found in the 1900 census, it would appear that after the death of Klaas, her minor children were placed as servant and laborers in the homes of others. Perhaps Rebecca couldn't care for them.

[NI0034] He arrived in New York on the 27th of January (?) of 1854 (?) If so, this was probably the port of emmigration and date for the family's emmigration.

*************************************************************************

in 1870 Indiana, Wayne Township, Tippecanoe County census he is found:

Vanderkleed, Kaas 29 Farmer net worth $200
Reb F 21 Keeping House
Celia F 2
James M 8/12

***************************************************************************

In 1880 census his last name is mistakenly spelled van der cleet. In addition to his children he lists Maggie Alderts (his sister-in law aged 19) and Fred Ardapple aged 16, who works on his farm as dependents. Maggie was the child of Sitske De Bildt Alderts who died in 1871.

[NI0035] Found in 1900 census with family. Listed occupation as Farmer. Had 0 years of schooling. Rented his home. Had two boarders: (?) Jessis Sunderland and William Bush

[NI0039] Found in 1900 as a Servant in another's home. She was 21 at that time.

[NI0040] Found in 1900 census as a domestic servant, aged 19.

[NI0041] Was found in 1900 census living with Albert Jones family as a Farm Laborer. Indicated 4 years of schooling.

[NI0042] Found in the 1910 Census living in Iowa as a Boarder. She was a Stenographer.

[NI0043] Description: in the Greenbush Cemetary near 16th street.

The last of 10 children
Found to be spelled 'Sytske' in dutch archives

Sijtske and Jurjen Willems de John were married in Holland and emmigrated to the US in 1847. They were from Friesland. Sitjke came with her older sister Froukje and her husband Sijds Teunis Crap. Sitjke and Jurgen had two small children.

It is said that Sijtske broke down and cried when she picked up her baby from the crib to start the journey realizing that she would never return.

The trip took 84 days by sailboat. and then 3 more weeks by boat thru the canal.

Willie, the youngest of the children passed away during the trip. Sijtske couldnt bear to allow the baby to be buried at sea so she wrapped it in it's blanket, smuggled it ashore and buried it on Ellis Island. The identity of the other child is unknown.

After the death of Jurgen (date unknown), she remarried Peter E. Alderts sometime before 1853.

Her tombstone is located in Greenbush Cemetary inscribed:

"In the Memory of S.S. de Bildt, widow of the late P.E. Alderts
Born January 17, 1819
Died October 14, 1879
To those who for her loss are grieved
This consolation given
She is from a world of strife relieved
And is resting safe in heaven"

I believe he is listed as Jeremiah DeYoung in the 1850 Census of Indiana, Tippecanoe County, Fairfield Township. Page #: 124. He is a farmer. The census lists his wife as S. (Sitske or Sarah DeBildt I assume). A child born in Indiana is listed as B???? Which might be Becky or Rebecca.

Also listed is another 10 year old born in Holland. Its hard to read but looks like Ash Chute.

[NI0104] From Thelma Brooks Morgan:

Many stories have been told about the family of John Brooks, my g-g-grandfather. The most important one told was about his adventure as a Captain on a river boat. Not only the Captain of the river boat, but he was also a Pugilist, or boxer, and gave exhibitions aboard the river boat. There was a letter written to a relative, Mrs Konapack, that stated these facts. Mrs Konapack was the genealogist for the Anderson family. She joined the DAR thru our Anderson relative.

His great-grandson made the following statement: "John died in Indiana before his father and was buried just inside the gate of the Jefferson Cemetery, in Clinton county, Indiana." Jefferson, called Little Jeff, was only about four miles from their home and only had one cemetery about two miles north of town. The grave of his wife Priscilla, who after John's death, married Jess Ryan, march 11, 1849, in Clinton county, Indiana, can be found inside the gate at the Jefferson Cemetery, next to her second husband, Jess Ryan, but there is no sign of a grave or stone for John Brooks, her first husband.

In the estate record of Robert Brooks, the father of John, it states that John was deceased, and listed his children, Margery, James, Hiram and Thomas. It gave the guardian as John E. Loveless, March 16, 1849.

The Cemetery records were destroyed in a house fire, therefore, we could not find a burial record. The Ryan home was at Jefferson, where their children, Alice, Albert, Miranda, Joseph, Ida, and Jesse Ryan, half-brothers and sisters of Margaret, James, Thomas and Hiram Brooks, spent their childhood.

[NI0105] Remarried to Jesse Ryan after the death of John.

On March 11, 1849, in Clinton County, In., Priscilla House Anderson Brooks, the widow of John Brooks, married Jesse Ryan. Jesse & priscilla had the following children; Alice, Alfred, Clarenda, Jesse, Josephine, and Ida.
John Brooks and Priscilla had Marjorie, Hiram, James & Thomas Brooks.

[NI0106] His obituary can be found in the Methodist Advocate - Indiana State Library, Indianapolis, Indiana. It states his birth date as November 8, 1790, Fredrick county, Va. Robert Brooks settled in Clinton county, Indiana, about 1828, and purchased land along the county line, part of it in Lauramie township, Tippecanoe county, Indiana. The Brooks family were respected citizens, and members of the Methodist church. Mr. Brooks died at his home when about sixty years of age. When Mr. Robert Brooks died, his farm was purchased by William Bell and his brother George Bell. When William Bell died the land was left to William and Sarah Brooks Bell's children.

[NI0107] Had 12 Children.

Stone reads: d. June 21, 1847, age 66y8m

[NI0108] According to GENEALOGY of the Anderson Family:

Letter from John Anderson to James H. Anderson

... Continued from the entry of Thomas Anderson...
My father was James Anderson, second son of Capt. Thomas Anderson. He was born February 17th 1768, where his father was born, on the Anderson Bottom, in Hampshire County, Va. He died October 24th, 1844. He entered the Cavalry service as a Second Lieutenant, or more properly speaking, Ensign; aided in putting down the Whisky Insurrection, and afterwards served under Gen. Anthony Wayne, until his (Wayne's) death, in December, 1796. He was a gallant and meritorious officer, and for meritorious service and gallantry was made a Captain.

I have seen his three commissions, that of Ensign, Lieutenant, and Captain. He was a member of the church of his ancestors until he settled in Ohio, and then became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church simply because there was no Episcopal Church in his neighborhood. He removed to Fairfield County, Ohio in 1806 and settled on his farm there on the 7th day of April the same year.

He was united in marriage in Virginia to Miss Priscilla House, by whom he had eleven children, ten of whom grew up and married. They were Levi Henshaw, Thomas Jefferson, John and Mahala (born on the old place in Virginia) and Elizabeth, James Madison, Ruth, Rebecca, Hiram and Priscilla, born in Ohio.

My mother (Priscilla House), the wife of Capt. James Anderson, died on the 7th day of August, 1847, seventy years of age. My father was an upright citizen and a soldier of undaunted courage.

... Continued in the entry of John Anderson ...

According to GENEALOGY of the Anderson Family:

the last paragraph of the above letter adds:
My father was a mathematician and engineer, and in addition to his other military duties he superintended the construction of most of Wayne's forts.

Research Notes:
The dates and spouse of James Madison Anderson are taken from the DAR Lineage book entries for Mrs Edith Johnson Miner Deaver and Mrs. Lillian O. Van Schaick Miner. The name of Thomas Jefferson Anderson's wife is taken from the DAR Lineage Book entry for Mrs. Mary Princess Anderson Orton.

The IGI gives Thomas Jefferson Anderson b. 2 Apr 1801

From Thelma Brooks:



James and Priscilla, were the parents of eleven children. Ten of whom grew to be men and women. Several of his children settled in Clinton county, Indiana, so James decided to join them. He sold his property in Ohio, and moved to Indiana several years before his death, which occurred October 24, 1844. His main occupation was divided between agriculture and surveying. He was also noted for his active and timely labors in behalf of needy pioneers, for his earnest support of religion, and of the Whig party. Captain James Anderson had one son, Rev. H. H. Anderson, and one son-in-law Rev, Alfred N. Cave (a chaplain), and seventeen grandchildren in our service during the Great Rebellion. (Civil War)

He moved to Clinton County Indiana, Washington Township in the fall of 1834 or early in 1835. Their graves are side by side in the old Abbott Cementary in Clinton County, Indiana.

[NI0109] Description: Abbott Cemetary near Fickle, Indiana

The House family had large land holdings which were still in the hands of their descendants around 1900. Priscilla married James Anderson in 1798, moved to Ohio after having four of her eleven children, and moved once more in her late years to Clinton County, Indiana. Her grandson James House Anderson, who can be assumed to have known his grandparents., reported her union with James as an ideal marriage. Her husband, James, in his last year told her to go back to Ohio after he died and live with their son Thomas Jefferson Anderson. There are no records concerning whether she returned, but her death was in Clinton county, Indiana.

He never knew fear, and in fighting the Indians ran some great risks, and made many narrow escapes. I have a distinct recollection of his appearance. He looked like my brother, Thomas James, your father. He was a member of the same church as his father; was an honest man and a good citizen, and like all the family, of whom I have any account, always paid his just debts. He was a true patriot, and had he been more ambitious might have risen higher during the Revolution.

His wife was a Miss Bruce, of Virginia, by whom he had seven sons and four daughters. The sons were William, James, John, Jonathan, Joseph, Abner, and George. The daughters were Margaret, Rachel, Elizabeth, and Nancy.

William and Joseph died (soldiers) in the war of 1812. Joseph was a single man, William left a wife, three sons and one daughter. William's sons were Hiram Joseph, and William. The daughter became the wife of my brother Levi.

John married and settled in southern Indiana, when I was a mere boy, and reared a family of children. Jonathan and Abner never married. George died in his youth. Margaret married Joseph Critchfield, at the old homestead in Virginia; Rachel married William Eagle, who afterward settled in Wayne County, Ohio. Elizabeth married Thomas Eagle, nephew of William Eagle, and they settled in the neighborhood. Nancy never married.

From notes of Thelma Brooks:

He died 5 months after the family arrived in Ohio, in September, and is buried in Fairfield County, Ohio. (See DAR Patriot Index, page 15, Patriotic Service Virginia.)

His sons William, Joseph, and Abner, took up arms against Great Britain in 1812.Joseph died in service at Upper Sandusky, Ohio of Camp Fever. William was in Battle of Lake Erie, lay sick a while at Put-in-Bay, after the invasion of Canada, died at Malden, or Fort Malden

[NI0163] WILLIAM ANDERSON of Scotland, descended from a family of considerable prominence, born in the Highlands in 1693, implicated in the rising of 1715 in behalf of the Pretender, Prince James, son of James11, fled in disguise, after the cruel suppression of this incipient rebellion, through England to Virginia, where British loyalist of his views ever found a warm welcome. He bought real property in Maryland, and in Virginia. He owned in 1738, and prior thereto, several plantations in the Conegochiege Manor, in Prince George County, Maryland, one of which called "Anderson Delight." Plat of estate made October 24, 1739. In the eighteenth century it was taken to Virginia; thence in 1806 to Ohio; thence to Indiana; thence to Linn County, Mo., thence in 1876 to James H. Anderson.

It was soon after coming to the country, that a rich and beautiful valley far up the Potomac, on the North Branch, attracted his notice, and on it he encamped and built a hunting lodge. This valley has ever since been known as "The Anderson Bottom." When Hampshire County, Virginia was erected, it embraced the Anderson Bottom which was only five miles from Fort Cumberland, constructed in 1754. When William Anderson came to this part of Virginia, it was a wild region, a wilderness, and its inhabitants were mostly Indian savages. William Anderson died on the Anderson Bottom, in Hampshire County, Virginia in 1794, at the great age of 104 years. (Ref: Life and Letters of Judge Thomas J. Anderson and Wife, by James H. Anderson, President of the Old Northwest Genealogical Society - Printed by J. Herr - 1904.)

William farmed the land and tried to live in harmony with the Indians but was known to fight fiercely when necessary. He was a frontier soldier who attained the title of Colonel. In spite of his advancing years he recruited a company of soldiers (Militia), including his son Thomas, and joined General Braddock's army to fight in the disastrous English defeat at Fort Dusquene (now Pittsburgh). According to his grandson, John Anderson, he was in the thick of the fighting. William was also known to spend as much time as possible hunting and fishing.

William Anderson died on the Anderson Bottom, in Hampshire County, Va., in 1797, at the great age of 104. He was hale, hearty and out in the fields hunting regularly until after he was 80 years. He was in his late 90's before he needed glasses to read, and had a full head of hair and his own teeth when he died. He was supposed to still have possessed some of his gold, but it was either hidden too well or gone according to his grandson James who had once seen it. He was a member of the Protestant Episcopal church. He was he father of four children, two sons and two daughters.

William and his (first) wife Rachel, conveyed 100 acres of good land on New Creek, in Hampshire county, to John Baker, Nov 9, 17172. William and his (second) wife Margaret conveyed Sept 17, 1787, to James Malloy, 327 acres of choice land, situate on Gibbons and Crooked run, in said county. William conveyed by deed of gift, May 18, 1791, to his son Thomas, 187 acres of the Anderson Bottom farm, also other lands adjoining it, and 50 acres lying in Maryland. William and his wife Margaret, conveyed July 22, 1797, to Thomas Anderson, 206 acres of choice land on Gibbons and Crooked run, in said county. Thomas Anderson and Sarah his wife, conveyed Nov 22, 1802, said 206 acres to Martin Shaffer. Thomas Anderson conveyed April 16, 1802, by deed of gift, 93 acres of the Anderson Bottom to his son James. Thomas Anderson conveyed Feb 16, 1806, to Danile Collins, all the Anderson Bottom land except said 93 acres. James Anderson and Priscilla his wife, conveyed Feb 26, 1806, to Daniel Collins said 93 acres. The deeds of conveyance of said real estate, except the Maryland property, are all of record in Romney, Hampshire county, W. Va. William Anderson obtained the most of his Virginia real estate from Lord Fairfax.

William Andersons name appears twice in a list of persons who furnished supplies for Continental purposes under the Commissioners of Provision Law, certified at a court held for Hampshire County, Virginia, the 15th day of May, 1782. This list was taken from a manuscript in the Virginia State Library, Richmond, Virginia, and was copied by Miss Anne Waller Reddy, Secretary of Old Dominion Chapter, DAR, Richmond, Virginia.

-----------------

From a family of considerable prominence. Implicated in the rising in 1715 in behalf of the Pretender, Prince James, sone of James II, fled in disguise after the cruel rebellion, through England to Virginia, where British Loyalists of his views provided a warm welcome.

Letter from John Anderson to James H.
Anderson of Columbus, Ohio.
Marion, Ohio, Oct. 26, 1886.

Mr. J. H. Anderson, Columbus, Ohio.

My Dear Nephew:--

I now undertake to give you some account of my ancestors. My Great-grandfather, William Anderson, was born in Scotland, in the year 1693 and died in Virginia in 1797. He was a friend of the Stuart dynasty, and joined the standard of Prince James, the Pretender, (as he was styled by some) son of James II, the deposed King of England.

After the rising in 1715, he fled into England where he tarried awhile, and then made his way in disguise, I am told, to Virginia, where he had relatives. He went up the Potomac river till he came to a beautiful and fertile valley, or bottom, on the North Branch, and here he decided to settle. It has ever since been called the Anderson Bottom, and was afterward included within the boundaries of Hampshire County, Virginia. That was then a wild region, inhabited mainly by Indians, but there were a few French, and probably a few British subjects west of William Anderson's new home.

He was strong and brave, and helped to protect the frontier settlements from murderous Indian foes. In "Braddock's defeat" (Braddock's engagement with the French and Indians near Fort Duquense) though beaten he fought bravely.

He was the father of four children, two boys and two girls. One of his sons, William, was killed by the Indians in the mountains near home. One of his daughters married Captain William Henshaw, of Berkley County, Virginia, whose plantation was near Bunker Hill, on Mill Creek.

I have forgotten the name of the husband of the other daughter, although I have often heard it. (In a subsequent letter he says her name was Sarah and that she married a Mr. Wilkins.)

As he, William Anderson, was 104 years old at the time of his death he was a little childish, but at 80 he was as strong and active as ever. He brought a large amount of gold from Scotland, or it was afterward sent to him, and he was known to possess a great deal when he died, but after his death it could never be found.

My father often saw it and believed it had been stolen during his last sickness or put away by him with too much care. He was opposed to the marriage of his daughter to Capt. Henshaw on account of his poverty; but the Captain afterward inherited a fine English fortune--he was an Englishman by birth--and became wealthy and prominent.

I have forgotten the name of William Anderson's first wife--the mother of his children. The name of his second wife was Barnett, to whom he was married at the age of 80. He was a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church.

... Continued in the entry of Thomas Anderson ...

According to Iona Burrows Jones:

William Anderson came to Virginia in 1739, or at least by that date he own several plantations in Virginia and Maryland. One was "Anderson's Delight" and another "Anderson's Bottom". Andersonson's Delight was near Washington, DC.

http://www.rootsweb.com/~paperry/linnmarr.htm

[NI0176] Mayflower passenger. He first married 1624-5 to a widow Martha Ford who came in the "Fortune" in 1621 and died between 1627-1631 then married Mary Unk between 1627-1631. He was a mayflower Planter. During his short life of 13 years in Plymouth, Peter was a useful citizen and had business dealings with most everybody in the colony, as his estate inventory cleary shows. A Carpenter and builder, he was in great demand. His untimely death was a blow to everyone.

Peter Browne was one of the unmarried men who came to seek his fortune. He married Martha, widow of William Ford, who arrived aboard the Fortune in November, 1621.Very little is known about Mayflower passenger Peter Brown. He married twice in Plymouth; first the widow, Martha (_____) Ford and second, Mary (_____). He had two children by each wife and died in 1633. His brother, John, also emigrated to Plymouth Colony and lived in Duxbury for many years.

Martha (Ford ) Brown came over on the Fortune with her husband and two children. She had a son born shortly after her arrival, who died soon She had two children by Peter Brown and died by 1630.

ANCESTRAL SUMMARY:

Nothing is known about the ancestry of Peter Browne. The royal lineage that
has been published is totally without basis, and no documentary evidence has
ever been presented to show who the parents of Peter Browne actually were.

It has been suggested that Peter Browne may have come from Great
Burstead, Billericay, Essex, but that claim is simply based on the fact that
there was a Peter Brown taxed there in 1624, and since names tend to run in
families maybe he was somehow related. No evidence has ever been shown
to suggest the two are related, however.

Peter Browne is known to have had a brother John, who came to Plymouth
and took up residence in Duxbury.

BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY:

William Bradford wrote in his "increasings and decreasings" section of his
journal the following about Peter Browne: "Peter Browne married twice. By his
first wife he had two children who are living and both of them married; and the
one of them hath two children. By his second wife he had two more. He died
about sixteen years since."

Peter Browne and John Goodman are mentioned in a strange incident
recorded in Mourt's Relation: A Journal of the Pilgrims at Plymouth. While out
gathering thatch for the houses the Pilgrims were building the first winter,
Peter and John got lost in the woods when their mastiff chased after a deer
and they followed. They spent the night in a tree, thinking they had heard a
lion in the forest, and the next day walked a long time until they climbed a high
hill and were able to spot Plymouth Harbor and get oriented.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION:

Peter Browne of the Mayflower did not have any male children. If he had any
sons living in 1633, they would have been mentioned in the settlement of his
estate. Instead, he gives all his land to his daughters. Several books and
other sources have incorrectly given Peter Browne sons, the most common
mistake being the claim that Peter Brown of Windsor, Connecticut was a son.

BORN: c1583, England

Samuel Butler, Sarah Herrick, Silence Kingsley, Samuel Kingsley, Mary
Washburn, Elizabeth Mitchell, Jane Cooke, FRANCIS COOKE)

ANCESTRAL SUMMARY:

The ancestry of Francis Cooke is not known. Several ficticious ancestries
have been presented, some clearly hoaxes (one can be found in "New Light
on the Pilgrim Story", chapter 6. For a discussion of why this is a hoax, see
English Ancestry and Homes of the Pilgrim Fathers, by Charles Banks.

There is conflicting evidence about the birth of Francis Cooke. A note
scribbled in Bradford's Journal says Francis Cooke died above the age of
80, meaning he was born before 1583. However, in August 1643, he was in a
list of men of Plymouth between the age of 16 and 60 allowed to bear arms.
This means he was born after 1583. Also, he was married in Leyden in 1603,
so he probably would have been at least 21 at the time. This means a birth
before 1583. The fact that all these records seem to conflict suggests that
Francis Cook was probably born in 1583.

Charles Banks mentions a Francis Cooke baptized on 6 April 1572, in
Biddenden, Kent, England, son of Thomas. However, this person is about ten
years too old for the Francis of the Mayflower. Cooke had been living in
Holland about eight years before the arrival of John Robinson and the rest of
the Pilgrims. His wife Hester was from Canterbury, England, so perhaps that
is where he is from as well.

BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY:

William Bradford recorded his list of passengers that came over in the
Mayflower: "Francis Cooke and his son John, but his wife and other children
came afterwards". Later in 1651, he writes "Francis Cooke is still living, a
very old man, and hath seen his children's children have children. After his
wife came over with other of his children; he hath three still living by her, all
married and have five children, so their increase is eight. And his son John
which came over with him is married, and hath four children living."

Francis and Hester (Mahieu) Cooke had lived in Leyden as early as 1603,
about five years before the Pilgrims fled there from England. In 1606, they left
Leyden to live at Norwich, England where they joined a French Walloon
church; however, they did not stay long in England--probably because of
religious persecution--and by 1607 were back in Leyden as members of the
French Walloon church there.

MARRIED: (1) bef. 1609, name unknown. [There is no evidence her name
was Constance Dudley as often claimed]

(2) Elizabeth Fisher, 19 February 1617/18, Whitechappel, London, England


ANCESTRAL SUMMARY:

Stephen Hopkins was probably the Stephen Hopkins baptized on 29 October
1581 in Wotten-under-Edge, Gloucester, England, the son of Stephen
Hopkins. Little else is known about his ancestry. There is no evidence that
his first wife was named Constance Dudley, despite the often-published
claim.

BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY:

Stephen Hopkins was one of only a few passengers on the Mayflower to have
made a prior trip to America. He came in 1609 on the Sea Venture headed
for Jamestown, Virginia. But instead, they were marooned on an island,
where the 150 passengers were stranded for nine months. Hopkins led an
uprising ,challenging the governor's authority, and was sentenced to death.
But he begged and moaned about the ruin of his wife, and so was pardoned.
The company built two vessels and escaped the island. After spending two
years in Jamestown, Hopkins returned to England.

Stephen Hopkins brought with him on the Mayflower his wife Elizabeth,
children Giles and Constance by his first marriage, and Damaris by his
second marriage. A son Oceanus was born while the Mayflower was at sea.
Stephen participated in the early exploring missions and was an
"ambassador" along with Myles Standish for early Indian relations.

In 1636, Hopkins was fined for the battery of John Tisdale, in 1637 he was
found guilty of allowing men to drink on a Sunday at his house, and in 1638 he
was fined for not dealing fairly with an apprentice-girl, Dorothy Temple. He
was also charged with several other minor crimes, including selling glass at
too high a price, selling illegal intoxicants, and allowing men to get drunk at
his house. However, this in no way indicated he was disloyal to the Colony--in
fact he was a prominent member, Assistant governor from about 1633 until
1636, and he volunteered to fight in the Pequot War of 1637.

1607: Mutiny. Sentenced to death, but sentence commuted on behalf of his
wife and children.

1636: Assault and Battery of John Tisdale, fined Ł5. 40s.

1637: Disorderly Conduct: Allowing drinking and scuffleboard in his house
on a Sunday, allowing servants to get drunk.

1638: Disorderly Conduct: Allowing three friends to get drunk at his house

1638: Price Fixing: Selling beer and nutmeg above the accepted price limit

1638: Breach of Contract: Failing to properly provide for his servant
Dorothy Temple per his contract.

1639: Illegal Sale of Alcohol without a License

The ancestry of John Howland is discussed in John Howland of the
Mayflower through Desire Howland for Five Generations", Vol. 1, by
Elizabeth Pearson White, available from Picton Press of Rockport, Maine, or
through the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. John Howland is the
son of Henry Howland and Margaret (----) of Fenstanton, Huntingdon,
England. Henry died on 17 May 1635 in Fenstanton, and Margaret was
buried on 31 July 1629. Besides son John, who came on the Mayflower, they
also had Humphrey, Arthur, Henry, George, and Margaret. Henry came to
Plymouth sometime before 1633, and Arthur came sometime before 1640.
For information on Arthur Howland, see NGSQ 71:84+.

John Howland is an ancestor to President George Bush, and to First Lady
Edith (Carrow) Roosevelt (Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt). President Richard
Nixon and Vice President Gerald Ford are descendants of John Howland's
brother Henry.

Will of John Howland
Will of Elizabeth (Tilley) Howland



BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY:

John Howland came on the Mayflower as a servant to John Carver. He is
best remembered for having fallen off the Mayflower during a mighty storm, as
recorded by Bradford:

"In sundry of these storms the winds were so fierce and the seas so high, as
they could not bear a know of sail, but were forced to hull for divers days
together. And in one of them, as they thus lay at hull in a mighty storm, a lusty
young man called John Howland, coming upon some occasion above the
gratings was, with a seele of the ship, thrown into the sea; but it pleased God
that he caught hold of the topsail halyards which hung overboard and ran out
at length. Yet he held his hold (though he was sundry fathoms under water) till
he was hauled up by the same rope to the brim of the water, and then with
boat hook and other means got into the ship again and his life saved. And
though he was something ill with it, yet he lived many years after and became
a profitable member both in church and commonwealth."

John Howland's wife was Elizabeth Tilley, the daughter of John Tilley and
Joan (Hurst) Rogers (all were Mayflower passengers). Elizabeth (Tilley)
Howland died on 21 December 1687, in Swansea, Massachusetts.

[NI0198] John Billington

Presidential Descendent:

James A. Garfield (Eliza Ballou, Mehitable Ingalls, Sybil Carpenter, Jotham
Carpenter, Desire Martin, Mercy Billington, FRANCIS BILLINGTON, JOHN
BILLINGTON)

ANCESTRAL SUMMARY:

The only clue to the ancestry of John Billington is a lease of 29 acres of land
from the English Crown to a gentleman, Francis Longland, and two heirs of
his choice. He chose Francis Billington, son of John, and Francis Newton, son
of Robert Newton. This suggests they were probably related somehow,
perhaps Francis was a nephew or cousin. In 1650, a survey of the land stated
that Francis Longland was still living in Welby, Lincolnshire, England, aged
70, and that Francis Newton was living in Swayfield, Lincolnshire, England,
and that Francis Billington was living in New England, aged about 40.



BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY:

John Billington came on the Mayflower with his wife Elinor and children John
and Francis. The Billingtons are recorded as a contentious family. Young
Francis Billington nearly blew up the Mayflower while it was sitting in
Provincetown Harbor. He shot off a gun near an open barrel of gun powder
inside the Mayflower's cabin. John Billington the elder was charged with
contempt when he bad-mouthed and insulted Myles Standish, and was
sentenced to have his neck and heels tied together, but he humbled himself
and was forgiven. Soon after arrival, John Billington the younger lost himself in
the woods, and was taken by the Nauset Indians, with whom he lived for about
a month before he was returned.

In 1624, John Billington the Elder was implicated in the Oldham-Lyford
scandal, in which blasphemous letters were secretly being written and sent to
England trying to undermine the Plymouth Colony. However, Billington
claimed he was framed, and there was not enough evidence to show he was
a party to the scandal. In 1630, John Billington the Elder was tried and
executed for the murder of John Newcomen, whom Billington had shot with a
musket over a former quarrel. He was found guilty by a grand and petty jury,
"by plain and notorious evidence", and became the first Englishman to be
hanged in the Americas.

MARRIED: Joan (Hurst) Rogers, 20 September 1596, Henlow, Bedford,
England, widow of Thomas Rogers (no relation to Thomas Rogers of the
Mayflower), and daughter of William and Rose (---) Hurst.

*Note. Joan (Hurst) Rogers had a daughter Joan Rogers by her first
marriage, bp. 26 May 1594, Henlow, Bedford, England. No further record of
Joan has been found, however.

ANCESTRAL SUMMARY:

John Tilley, his wife Joan (Hurst) Rogers, and daughter Elizabeth came on the
Mayflower. John and Joan died the first winter, but Elizabeth lived, married
John Howland, and had eleven children. John's brother Edward Tilley came
with wife Ann Cooper on the Mayflower as well.

John Tilley did not marry Prijntgen (Elizabeth) van der Velde in Holland. That
was easily disproved in Mayflower Descendant 10:66-67, and by the
subsequent identification of Joan (Hurst) Rogers. Also note that the article in
the Mayflower Quarterly 49:16+ entitled "John Tilley Jr, 1599-1636" presents
a theory as to what happened to John Tilley's son John, but the article has
been criticized as presenting no proof but just speculations (Wakefield in MD
43:76; Stratton p. 362).

John's wife Joan is the daughter of William Hurst and Rose (---). William was
born c1530, and died before 1571. He lived in Henlow, Bedford, England.
Joan Hurst was baptized in Henlow, Bedford, England on 13 March 1567/8.
She married first Thomas Rogers (no known relation to Thomas Rogers of the
Mayflower), and second John Tilley.

The known ancestry of John Tilley is as follows (from The American
Genealogist 52:198-208):

Henry Tilley, b. c1465, d. 1520 === Johan (---)

Thomas Tilley, b. c1490, d. 1556 === Margaret (---)

William Tilley, b. c1515, d. Jan. 1578/9 === Agnes (---)

Robert Tilley, b. c1540, d. Feb. 1612/3 === Elizabeth (---)

Notes: Philip Washburn came to Boston with his mother and brother in "midsummer" 1635 on the Elizabeth

Philip's son John Washburn had several children, and therefore certain Washburns in America may be
descended from John. He married first Lydia Billington, a descendant of Mayflower passenger John Billington,
and Lydia was the mother of all of John's children.

[NI0216] BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY:

William Bradford, c1650, wrote in his passenger list of the Mayflower: "Mr.
Isaac Allerton and Mary his wife, with three children, Bartholomew,
Remember, and Mary. And a servant boy John Hooke." He later wrote "Mr.
Allerton his wife died with the first, and his servant John Hooke. His son Bartle
is married in England but I know not how many children he hath. His daughter
Remember is married at Salem and hath three or four children living. And his
daughter Mary is married here and hath four children. Himself married again
with the daughter of Mr. Brewster and hath one son living by her, but she is
long since dead. And he is married again and hath left this place long ago. So
I account his increase to be eight, besides his sons in England." On
September 26, 1636 Isaac made a deposition in Boston stating he was aged
about 53 years.

Isaac Allerton has a relatively small number of descendants compared to
other Mayflower passengers, but is an ancestor to Presidents Zachary Taylor
and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

[NI0220] Klaas and his sister both married Meijers (Meyers). Could've been brother and sister.

[NI0238] She died the same day as her step son, Hans Herres van der Wielen. This appears to be incorrect as her last daughter was born in 1865.

[NI0239] Tjeerd is assumed to be the father of Henry but is only substantiated the Dutch naming convention and the date of this marriage to Jantje

[NI0240] Assumed to be the Mother of Henry by the coincidence of her middle name (Hendriks) and the name of the father which follows the dutch naming convention.

[NI0241] An assumption is made that Wybren is the Father of Tjeerd. The Dutch naming convention, the date of their marriage, is an indication of this.

[NI0242] It is assumed that Minke is the Mother of Tjeerd, supported by the Dutch naming convention combining the first name of the father, the middle name of the mother when naming the son. Notice the marriage date of Minke and Wybren and how their apparent son and his wife were married 30 years later to the day

[NI0243] Description: was a widower upon his death

It is assumed that Hendrik was the father of Jantje by virtue of the Dutch naming convention and aging when compared to Jantje

[NI0244] Description: was a widower at the time of his death

Was 92 at death. It is assumed he is the Father of Hendrik by virtue of the Dutch naming convention and the age comparisons. Both live a long life.

Jan Taekes Haanstra, overleden 8 december 1875, oud 53 jaar, weduwnaar

[NI0526] At the time of the Napolean Decree, there lived 22 Haanstra and 5 Hanstra families in Friesland of the Netherlands.
Aangenomen familienaam 1811

Hanstra, Jan Janzen, Stiens
k. Trijntje 31, Tjaltje 29, Jantje 26, Geertje 23, Teeke 16, Harmke 12
Mairie Stiens, fol. 95

Theory: I believe the Teeke, aged 16 above is actually Taeke Jans Haanstra. In fact, a later death of a Taeke Jans Haanstra, listed below, would prove him to be 16 at the 1811 decree. This matches the Teeke above.

Thursey Toliver Way
Donated by David Phillips

The following is an article I found in ^ÓA survey of the decendants of Gideon Isham, Isom or Ison^Ô in the Lawrence County Historical Society in Bedford, Indiana. It is an interview with Thursey Toliver Way, daughter of Charles Toliver. She moved to Lawrence County at the age of 4 and was relating this at the age of 103 to her great granddaughter. My scanner had some problems with this article. Rather than fight it to make it look better I have pretty much left it as it is.

AUNT THURSAY WAY-part 1!...

Interesting information about early Lawrence County is contained in a Feb. 26, 1916 article published in The Farmer^Ňs Guide about one of the county's oldest citizens, 103-year-old THURSAY WAY. This article was written by Mrs, Ralph Riggs who was Thursay Way^Ňs great grandaughter. She collected this information from Thursay when she was 103 years old.

Thursay Way was born Nov. 6, 1812, on the waters of Calskins or Calfskins Creek, near Ash County Courthouse in North Carolina. She married ELI WAY on March 8, 1831, and died July 28, 1916. She is buried in Liberty Baptist Church cemetery southwest of Mitchell.

Here is the article written by the late Mrs. Ralph Riggs:

"Few of us have the opportunity to tell a bit of pioneer history direct from the lips of one who is more than one hundred years old. Here in Lawrence County lives my great- great aunt who is one hundred and three years old. "In 1815, her father, Charles Toliver, came here and took up a claim of one hundred and sixty acres. He then returned home, in North Carolina, for his family. When the early settlers took up their claim they paid down so much and paid the rest yearly. If they found it impossible to pay for all they were permitted to relinguish a part of the claim. Aunt Thursay, as everyone calls her, was nearing her fourth birthday when they started back here, but she says that she can remember the trip as well as if it happened yesterday. "The journey was made in a covered wagon, drawn by four horses. They led three milk cows. Imagine, if you can, a trail with but few old wagon ruts, through forest after forest, whose leaves had covered the ground and whose limbs struck against the covered wagon, sometimes leaving a rent.

"Three days before Christmas in 1816 Charles Toliver arrived with his family. They settled near a spring as all did in those days, which is now the northeast corner of my father's farm. The first task was to erect a temporary cabin, which contained only one room. Some settlers made only open front cabins. Toliver made a picket fence around the cabin so the children could play with some safety.

"When the cabin and yard was completed the father and sons began to clear for their cornfield. After the corn crop was gathered they took it to Kentucky to have it ground. Few were the trips because the journey required many days, often weeks. A meal without bread was not unusual. Sometimes they had grated bread. This was made by grating corn, before it hardened, over a tin with many nail holes in it. The pulp they used as meal. Later they hallowed out an oak stump for a mortar and ground the hardened corn into meal with heavy stone. They had Johnnie cakes. This was cornbread that was baked on a Johnnie board the fireplace. This board was homemade. All the cooking was done in the fireplace. "Their dishers were pewter. They had iron, of course, a baking pot or a Dutch oven, a few other iron pots and a large iron kettle. "Stoves" Aunt Thursay said, "I never saw one until my own children were grown and married."

"Their dishes were pewter. They did not bring anything breakable and only what they had to have. They brought apple, peach, cherry and plum seeds which they planted in their nursery. One of the apple trees still stands near the old home place. Its diameter is not more, if asmuch, than twelve inches. The branches are numerous, enough for a half dozen trees. The apples are few, tough and coarse.

"Mr. Toliver was a blacksmith in North Carolina. When he came he brought along all the irons required to make his plows, harrows, hoes, etc. The wooden parts he made here. He made a loom for his wife to weave their cloth for clothes. She had brought along her vegetable seeds and madder root and indigo seed which she set out and planted for dying red and blue. Their lace they made with a needle on a board.

"They brought along a big and little spinning wheel. Often at night before the buzz of the spinning wheel, the scream of the panther was heard. The wolves howled and the growl of the bear was near. looking up from her work, through a opening, the fiery eyes of the catamount were seen. Aunt Thursay tells it all without a shudder."

AUNT 'IHURSAY WAY- PART 2!....

This is the second of two articles about early life in Lawrence County as experienced by Aunt Thursay Way, as told by Mrs. Ralph Riggs: "One morning when she and her father went to the sugar camp to start the kettles, while the mother and sisters cooked breakfast and the boys were clearing, her father stopped suddenly and told her to step behind a tree. He motioned the dog down. Aunt Thursay peeped from behind the tree and saw on a tree that leaned across their path, a bear. Her father killed it. They used bear fat to season greens. Her mother would go out and gather an apronful of shonie for greens. You don't know what shonie is, Aunt Thursay says, and I guess she is right. The maple sap was always made into sugar and stored in barrels. "Wild bees were plentiful. They hunted the bees trees, hived the bees in gums and stored the honey in jars. This turned into sugar and it and the maple sugar were used to make sweet cakes. When the fruit trees came into bearing they preserved all their fruit with the sugar. Before the trees bore they had only wild fruits which were black and red haws, papaws, persimmons, wild grapes and May plums. They were were several years before any blackberries were found.

"During this time they had a house raising, all neighbors helping, and erected a three floor log house. I do not mean a three-room house, but one with a ground floor and two others above it. The doors were made of clap boards and the floors of punchcons. These were split logs whose faces were smoothed with a broad axe. "a wide poplar puncheon was used for the table. They made stools for chairs and brought their beds from North Carolina. Years later the house was used for the barn by my grandfather. All that remains today of this once homestead is a heap of grass grown stones beneath the Balm of Gielead tree.

"A log cabin was erected for the church house. It stood in what would now be the center of the cemetery. An old white headed man, from north of where Bedford now is located, came once a month to preach. His name was Rev. Mitchell. All he charged for preaching was the fee it cost him to cross White River on the ferry boat. Rev. Mitchell soon died and the next pastor's name was Vandebuer.

"A man came from North Carolina and taught the school children in this same cabin that was named Spice Valley. This I believe is the second oldest church in Indiana the other being Lost River Church. They celebrated their centennial in 1914. Spice Valley Church was organized beneath a shed owned by Billy Maxfield, that stood in a plot south of the cabin. Maxfield was a mill-wright and there he ground the bread stuff for the early settlers by horse power.

"Many times, Aunt Thursay said, 'when I was seven or eight years old, I led the horse around the sweep.' The sweep was the path around the burrs where the horse walked to grind the corn.

A man settled in the valley. His name was Bennie Webb. He was a hatter and made woolen hats for men and boys. There were seven famlies located here when the Tolivers came. The first family that came to this county was named Phillips. They came in 1813. Toliver's 5 nearest neighbors lived four miles distant. A man by the name of Oodles moved near White River and made jeans for men and boys clothing.

'There were no doctors. They were seldom sick. Aunt Thursay said she was grown long before she saw a dead body. A dentist was unknow. I asked her what they did for toothache: "Just let it ache" she replied. 'Bells were put on the horses and cows so they could be easly found. Squirrels were a pest. A premium was paid per head and an extra prize to the one who could show the most heads. Wild turkeys were plentiful. Mr. Toliver and sons would go out and kill wild turkeys. The mother dressed these, drying the breast meat to be used as bread.

"In those days of quilting bees, minute and Virginia reel dance and the husking bee, the squire did the marrying. I tried to get Aunt Thursay to tell me a romance, but she only smiled. She told me this ending of one wedded pair. Every day when the husband was out at work the wife would take him an apronful of sweet cakes. One day he saw her coming and waited for he was hungry. When she drew near, what do you think he got? Rocks? Yes, and she threw them,too. A few other acts and they parted. He left her.

"There was one place they called Deer Lick. Here the dear came to lick salt that was in the soil. Deer Lick is a pond today. Across the fields is a number of old rocks. Beneath these was an lndian camp. Aunt Thursay, with her father and a neighbor's girl, went there to hunt beads and reliCs. Quite a number of flint have been found. I have in my possession an Indian hatchet that we found in our garden. I have seen many rocks on my father's farm that Aunt Thursay said were used to sharpen knifes. The Indians were gone when Tolivers came. "One hundred years from now this story will not be retold by Aunt Thursay, but reprinted.

[NI1507] YOUNG EDWARDS, SR., was a 1st cousin of David EDWARDS (1774-1828) who also left many descendants in Alleghany Co., NC.

Young Edwards was born between 1750 and 1760, according to age ranges in census records. He may have been born in Orange Co., NC, or wherever his family originally lived (Virginia?). His father, John Edwards, was a Revolutionary War soldier in Orange Co., NC. Note there is a lot of conflicting information about the Edwards family in Orange Co. and about John Edwards in particular.

Young Edwards appears on the Orange Co., NC, tax lists in 1766 and 1779.

Sept. 22, 1785. Young EDWARDS received a land grant for 100 acres in Wilkes Co., NC, on "Glady" Creek and Little River. (Wilkes Co., NC, Deed Book C, p.106; Wilkes Land Entry Book, Entry No. 850.) This land was located in the Bullhead Mountain area, which became part of Ashe County in 1799 and Alleghany County in 1859. (View map.) Note that a claim for this 100-acre parcel of land was originally entered by James FRANKLIN on Feb. 16, 1779. FRANKLIN's name was crossed out in the Land Entry Book and Young EDWARDS's name written in, probably indicating either that Young EDWARDS had purchased the property or that he took it over after FRANKLIN abandoned it.

In March 1809, Young EDWARDS and eleven other men served as jurors in the case of State v. Carter Whittington. The unfortunate Whittington was charged with perjury, though the circumstances of his crime are not described. The clerk did dutifully record that the defendant was found guilty, and the following gruesome punishment imposed by the court: "Fined Ł10, and the said Carter Whittington stand in the pillory for one hour, at the expiration of which time, both his ears to be cut off and entirely severed from his head, and that his ears so cut off he nailed to the pillory by the officers and there remain till the setting of the sun, and that the sheriff of this county carry this judgment immediately into execution, and that the said Carter Whittington be confined until the fine and fees are paid."

Young Sr. died prior to Oct. 1843, based on a deed dated Oct. 17, 1843. Heirs of Young EDWARDS, Sr., dec'd, to Starlin TOLIVER, 100 acres on top of the Little Mountain adj. Jesse TOLIVER. Signed: Young (X) EDWARDS, Allen (X) EDWARDS, Richard (X) EDWARDS, & David (X) BURTON (attorney-in-fact for Richard BURTON, heirs of Samuel SCAT [SCOTT?], heirs of Edward EDWARDS & John EDWARDS dec'd.)

The above deed is evidence that Young EDWARDS, Sr., was the father of the following children: Young EDWARDS, Allen EDWARDS, and Richard EDWARDS, all of Ashe/Alleghany Co., NC; Nancy EDWARDS who m. Richard BURTON and moved to Lawrence Co., IN; Edward EDWARDS who died in Lawrence Co., IN, in 1838; a John EDWARDS who died before 1843 (I have not been able to identify him further), and probably a daughter who married Samuel SCOTT.

Young Edwards may be buried at the Mustering Ground Cemetery in Alleghany Co. which is located on Road 1422 near the Glade Creek Church. This site reportedly has few legible gravestones.

Notes for JOHN EDWARDS:
In a book "A Brief History of David Edwards Family" written by W.R. Edwards, 1948, he states that "the Edwards' joined those who left Virgina and settled in the eastern part of what later became the colony of North Carolina" He states that this happened because of the persecutions of the Baptist and others in Virginia. The time for this move was in the year 1630. This again muddies the waters as to where and when the Edwards enter this country and where John was born and where some of his children were born. It also states that in 1616 "William Edwards, a forefather of the Edwards clan came to Virginia from England."

In a journal written by Col R. M Edwards in 1850 he states that John was born in Dinwiddle Co VA shortly after his parents John and wife came to America from Wales. He also says that a brother of John's father, Robert, came at the same time but left for PA and was not heard from there after.

Martha Doughton along with her Uncle George Edwards say in their work, done in the early 1950's, that John came from Scotland.

More About JOHN EDWARDS:
Note: There has been some researchers who have John born in Scotland or Wales but in a journal written in the 1850's the writer states that John was born after his parents came to America. This writer is a Edwards descendant.

For the Star.
FAMILY LONGEVITY.

Before the Revolutionary war, a Mr John Edwards came from the banks of Buckskin Creek, near Petersburg, Va., and settled on Collins' Creek, in Orange county, N. C. At the time Mr. Edwards settled in Orange, his nearest neighbor was four miles to the East and his next nearest neighbor was ten miles in the same direction. Mr. Edwards made a small farm and lived by farming and hunting. He died over one hundred years old. His son Henry Edwards, sen. is now living on the original settlement, and is 87 years old, having a wife 81 years old; they having lived together 66 years. Mr. Henry Edwards never has taken but one dose of medicine. He has over 100 children, grand children, and great grand children, who also have children. Mr. Henry Edwards has a nephew older than himself, living in the same neighborhood, viz Allen Edwards. This gentleman was 89 years old last May. His wife, Charity, is 91 years old, and has been married 63 years. She is still exceedingly lively and loves a good joke This, indeed, is a remarkable family for good health and long life. They live plain and work hard, and thereby they have doubtless perpetuated their lives and preserved their health. Plain living, hard work, honesty and long life generally go together. Yours truly, E. L. P.

[NI1555] Found to enlist in the Revolutionary War:

Capt. John Davis' Company, in Col. Frye's Regt. enlisted Feb. 14th, 1775 (http://www.methuenhistory.org/revwar.htm) Metheun, Mass.

[NI1569] He was in the battle of Lake Erie, (Perry's Victory) lay sick a while at Put-in-Bay, and after the invasion of Canada, died at Malden, or Fort Malden. he was a good soldier, and a true man, but was swept away by an enemy more relentless and destructive than the British or Indians, the poisonous Malaria of the vast swamps of Northern Ohio.

[NI1574] John, son of Thomas Anderson, married and settled in southern Indiana, and reared a large family. He moved to Indiana between 1810 and 1815.

[NI1581] Thomas Anderson, was born in Hampshire county, Virginia, April 2, 1801, and died at Pleasant Hill, Missouri, January 27, 1871. He was a son of Captain James Anderson, a soldier of the Revolution. In April, 1806, the Andersons removed to Lancaster, Ohio. He married Nancy Dunlevy in August, 1825, and in December following arrived in Marion county, Ohio. He began at first to buy and sell live-stock, finding the best market at Detroit. Later he became an extensive buyer of furs. Politically he was a Whig, religiously, a Methodist. On February 11, 1834, he was commissioned by governor Lucas, associate judge of Marion county, for a term of seven years. He was re appointed in 1841 and 1848. Judge Anderson was justice of the peace for a time and afterwards United States Deputy collector of internal revenue for Marion County. He held other offices and appointments of trust. While he never received a liberal education, yet he wrote considerable, communicating with men of prominence in Church and State. He was a rugged, consistent character, whose influence for right was felt in this community. His son, James H Anderson, was prosecuting attorney of this county and mayor of Marion before the war and is now one of the substantial citizens of Columbus, Ohio.

Thomas was a religiously tolerant man. When the elders of his church refused to allow a minister of another faith in their pulpit he went to the Presbyterian Church to hear him. He was ever helpful and generous to those in need of assistance and forgave many debtors who could not pay him. He opposed slavery and was known to provide shelter for the underground railway. He did, however, believe that while slaves should be emancipated they should also be set up in their own county in Africa and the owners compensated for their loss.

[NI1588] Wrote the book, "Life and Letters of Thomas Jefferson Anderson and Wife" in 1904.

Elected Mayor of Marion, Ohio in 1855.

[NI1654] THE DEATH OF HENDRED T. COSBY

[NI1779] 5. Charles TOLIVER. He was b. 1765-1774, Virginia or Wilkes Co., NC; d. 1832, Lawrence Co., IN; m. Susan EDWARDS, daughter of David EDWARDS, Sr., & Elizabeth MORRIS (b. 1765-1774; d. 1840-1850); bur. Freedom Cemetery, Lawrence Co., IN. The first record of Charles Toliver is a deed dated July 28, 1791, which records his purchase of land on the Little River and Bledsoe's Creek. (Wilkes Co. NC, Deed Book B1, p.393.) On Jan. 1, 1798, he obtained an additional 100 acres adjoining his land and Vial Creek. (NC Grant No. 1576.) This was an area that became part of Ashe Co., NC, in 1799. Charles appears in the 1800 census of Ashe Co., NC, and the 1810 census of Surry Co., NC. He and his family moved to Lawrence Co., IN, in 1815. Left a will dated 1832 in Lawrence Co., IN. Charles's daughter Thursey Toliver Way was interviewed by the Lawrence Co., IN, "Farmer's Guide" on Feb. 26, 1916, when she was 103 years old (click here). Thursey told the paper that she was born Nov. 6, 1812, on the waters of Calskins or Calfskins Creek, near the Ashe County Courthouse in North Carolina, and that her father, Charles Toliver, was a blacksmith who brought the family to Indiana from NC in 1815.

He appeared on the census in 1820 in Lawrence County, IN. It lists 2 males (16-26), 1 male (over 45), 2 females (under 10),
2 females (10-16), 1 female (16-26), and 1 female (over 45).

He died on April 20, 1831 in Lawrence County, IN. His will is in Lawrence County will book A, page 21, recorded March 19,
1832.

From: "David Phillips"
Subject: Charles Toliver
Date: Sat, 14 Mar 1998 10:12:21 PST

I am going to forward the following to show what I have found to date on
the Charles Toliver who lived in Lawrence County, In from about 1816
through 1832. I would love to have others comments, based upon
documentation to either confirm or refute this information. David
Phillips

TOLIVER,CHARLES9 (CHARLES10,CHARLES11,JOHN12,ROBERT13): Charles Toliver
was born about 1765 in Ashe County, North Carolina to Charles Toliver
and an unknown wife. Charless first wife was Sallie Burroughs and his
second was Susan Edwards (daughter of William Edwards, the son of Robert
Edwards). He died about March, 1832 in Lawrence County, Indiana.
According to family legend Susan also died in 1832 but I have no proof
of that or any of the preceding information.

Charles emigrated to Lawrence County, Indiana from North Carolina in
1816 (this is confirmed by an account written by his daughter Thursey
after she was 100 years old). He settled in Marion Township southwest
of Mitchell. His first land entry is dated 21 June, 1817. He was still
alive in February 1822 as he was made the administrator of his son
William Tolivers estate. The fact that this William is his son is
confirmed by both Williams Probate records that list his children and
later by Charles Probate Land Deeds which include some of these same
children as Charles grandchildren. This information is found in the
Lawrence County Clerks Office Probate file 17, Box 8. It states that
his widow was Phoebe (possibly Baldwin) and his infant children were
Alfred Baldwin, Wesley, William W and Jane Toliver. Phoebe was unlucky
in marriage. She remarried Philip Warren and then William Maxwell both
of who died before her.

Charles Tolivers will was written 24 June, 1824 and was probated 19
March, 1832. His will left his property to his wife (but did not name
her) as long as she remained a widow. He gave his daughter Polly (Mary)
a bed and one cow. A young sorrel mare went to William Childress.
This will was witnessed by David Toliver, Jacob Toliver, George Isom,
Richard Hall, Robert Pitman and William Childress. Old family records
say Charles was buried in the Freedom Cemetery on Indiana Highway 37S
about one mile south of Mitchell, Indiana.

The extensive land records that exist disposing of Charles land
supposedly after his widows death define Charles heirs (children and
grandchildren). Two sons preceded him in death, William and John H
Toliver. The children that signed away their rights to Charles land
were as follows:
David Toliver and Rachael, his wife of Greene Co, In
Nathaniel Brewer and Elizabeth, his wife of Lawrence Co, In
Jeremiah Workman and Sarah, his wife of Lawrence Co, In
Eli Way and Thursa, his wife of Lawrence Co, In
Jesse Toliver and Maze, his wife of Lawrence Co, In
James Toliver and Elizabeth, his wife of McLean Co, Il

On another Deed some of the children (Charles grandchildren) of
William and John H Toliver also signed away their rights.

In both cases they signed this land over to Richard Hall and Mahala, his
wife and George Isom and Francis, his wife all of Lawrence County, In.
These two women, per other peoples research, were also daughters of
Charles. This makes sense since they received the others land rights.

Obviously missing from this list is a Polly (or Mary). Since none of
the daughters-in-law are Marys I must assume she did exist somewhere,
but I have never found any evidence of her except in Charles Will.

Thus the Will and the Land Deeds prove the following as children of
Charles Toliver:
William, Elizabeth, Mahala, David, John H, James, Sarah, Jesse, J
Francis, Thursey and Polly.

Also obviously missing is a Jacob Toliver.

[NI1785] There is very little information on David Edwards, Sr. He may have died in the Revolutionary War. The Court records of Orange Co., NC, contain an inventory of the "property of David EDWARDS deceased Dec. 6th, 1782." Among those buying property at the estate sale were Elizabeth EDWARDS, "Sterlin EDWARDS" (Sterling), John EDWARDS, Junr., and John EDWARDS, Senr.

He may be the David EDWARDS who helped disperse the Regulator rebels on April 30, 1768, according to "Sketch of the Life and Character of David Caldwell" by Eli W. Caruthers (New Library Press, 1942), p.119: "In 1768, the Regulators met on April 30 and 12 debuties were chosen, but before the day appointed the Govenor, William TYRON, having heard of the disturbance, sent David EDWARDS, Sr. with a proclamation summoning the Regulators to disperse and calling on the officers of the Province to assist the Sheriff in suppressing the insurrection."

Mar. 24, 1778, David EDWARDS served as Juror for the Superior Court of Orange Co., NC, Hillsborough Dist. (Orange Co. Court Minutes 1777-1788, Part 1, p.15, Folio I.) David EDWARDS and others ordered to lay off and value one acre of land of George MOORE on which to build a grist Mill on the South Side of Haw River. (Id., p.19.)

1779 Tax List, Orange Co., NC: David EDWARDS

The will of John EDWARDS, Sr., dated April 2, 1796, bequeaths a slave to unidentified children of David EDWARDS. [Orange Co., NC, Will Book D, p.56.]

See also "Alleghany County Heritage" (Alleghany Co. Hist.-Gen. Society, 1983) p.196.

[NI1794] This letter was carried to Illinois by Solomon Fender. It was written to James Toliver and his wife

Elizabeth Maxwell then living in McClain Co IL. It is dated Sept 21, 1844.

"Dear brother and sister,

We take this opportunity to inform you that through the miracle and blessings of God, we and the

friends are generally well and hope that these lines may find you enjoying good health.

There has been some sickness in the country but not fatal, we canot recollect any deaths.

Times are pretty hard, though the "Whigs" say better times are coming, they and the "Democrats"

too, are having barbacues through the towns and the country, every day or two. Our wheat crops

were very indifferent and the Fly are about to eat up what we have saved. Oats were very good.

We have 20 stacks each stack containing 100 dox. (Not sure what a dox is) Corn crops are

middling good. We sold this summer the rise of 400 bushels of corn. I live at the same place I did

when you were here and I own 443 acres of land up and down the valley. Your mother is living sis,

and enjoying good health, she says she would like to see you once more as she is old, she thnks

that you might come, it is not so far. She remembers her love to you and family.

There have been several weddings among your connection. Rebecca Toliver married a

gentleman by the name of Sterling Williams, Isom Toliver married Miss Phebe Way, Susan

Toliver married Alexander Maxwell, Charles Workman married Matthew Fielder's widow.

Rebecca Isom married a gentleman by the name of Lewis Morgan, Mahala Workman is

expecting to marry a gentleman by the name of Henry Rawyer, the third of next month.

There were two deaths that we had forgotten and thought likely you had never heard of them. Old

father Edwards died the 28th of last March, two years ago. Nathaniel Brewer died last April, two

years ago. And Elizabeth Brewer and family are doing well and send her respects to you and

your family.

Eli Way and Thursey send their love and respects to you and family. We have nothing more of

importants to write excepting we have six hearthy children, four boys and two girls, William, Isom,

Robert, and Nancy and Thursey are their names. Thursey is three years old and sucks yet.

We shall now bring our letters to a close by wishing to be remembered by you and all inquiring

friends, so no more, but we hope to remain your affectionate brother and sister until death.

Signed, Richard Hall and Mahala (Toliver) Hall...from Lawrence Con IND

Nathaniel Brewer married Elizabeth Toliver, d/o of Charles Toliver and Susan Edwards.

I am interested in all the surnames in the letter because of their connections to the Edwards. I am

also intersted in the Workman name as that is another name in my ancestery. I am some

information on many of these mentioned.

Viewing will begin one hour prior to the service. Interment will follow the service at the Black Hills National Cemetery. The Rev. Pat McBride of the First Baptist Church of the Northern Hills in Deadwood will officiate. Visitation will be from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 16, at the chapel. Ruth Carlene Iwan was born April 20, 1903, in Marshfield, Wis., to Adolph and Mary Mathilda (Heitz) Iwan, the youngest daughter of an Evangelical minister who emigrated from Germany. During her childhood, she moved with her family as her father answered pastoral calls in Minnesota and North Dakota. Her family settled in Pueblo, Colo., where she graduated from high school and attended business school. Her parents bought a ranch in Mellette County, S.D., and she accompanied her family to their new home in 1922. Ruth was briefly married in the 1920s to Davis N. Highfill. This marriage ended in divorce. The couple had two daughters. Ruth's second marriage was to George N. Heaton, a carpenter. The family moved to Roubaix in 1936 where Heaton found work in the Clover Leaf Mine. They bought the Waisanen place and built their house there. During World War II, the family briefly relocated to Mason City, Iowa, where Heaton worked on the construction of hemp factories as part of the war effort. Heaton died in 1976. The couple had a daughter and a son. In 1979, Ruth married Curtis Vanderkleed and moved to his home in West Lafayette, Ind. They enjoyed traveling throughout the U.S. until his death in 1981, after which she returned to her home in Roubaix where she lived with her son until her death. Ruth was a member of the Roubaix Sunday School, the Roubaix Extension Club, and was a founding member of the "DD" (Dutiful Dozen) Club. She served on the Roubaix school board in several capacities, including president, and on the election boards for the Boxelder precinct of Lawrence County. She actively supported the Roubaix Rangers 4-H Club, the Brownsville Community Center, and the Lead Senior Citizens Center. She was an accomplished homemaker and enjoyed sewing, cooking, picking fruit, fishing, reading, writing, singing, acting, playing cards and slot machines, and all varieties of contests and competitions. She represented South Dakota four times at the finals of the National Chicken Cooking Contest. She traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and to Cuba, South America and Europe. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Albert (Marilyn) Hill of Deadwood, and Mrs. Joseph (Verna) Benham of Kerrville, Texas; one son, Gary D. Heaton of Roubaix; six grandchildren, Laurie Hall Plummer of Winfred, Larry Hall and Allen Hall, both of Sioux Falls, Mark Hill, currently assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, Stephanie Benham of Houston, Texas, and Lt. David Benham, U.S. Navy; six great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, four brothers, two sisters, three husbands, one son who died at birth, and one daughter, Mrs. Willis (Leslie Mae) Hall. Memorials have been established to the Brownsville Fire Department and The Salvation Army. The Lead-Deadwood Funeral Chapel is in charge of arrangements.
