155 BIOGRAPHY:
1. Book, "Wampler Family History 1500s - 1700s," by Fred B. Wampler, Ph.D., p. 64 and 92, summarizes his findings of vital information regarding this individual as follows: Johann Michael (Hans Michael), b. 1702-3, d. Dec. 29, 1760 in Sparsbach, Md. Anna Barbara (last name unknown), d. Apr 1758 (62 years 10 months, 15 days) in Sparsbach. All of the sons of Christian Senior were linen weavers by trade. Hans Michel (1702-1703) was a witness for the christening of Hans Michel Wampfler (1724) who came to America with his father Hans Peter in 1741. It is obvious that Hans Michel (1724) was named after his father's brother. Today there are still Wampflers in the small village of Sparsbach and it is very probable they are the direct descendants of Johann Michel (Hans Michel) and Anna Barbara Wampfler. The author notes he did not do a complete search for all of the children of this individual; however, a partial listing includes:
a. Johann Michel, b. Jan 1736, d. 4 May 1776 in Sparsbach at age 40y3m10d. He was an innkeeper who md. Anna Margaretha Stutzmann and who had a child named Margaretha Barbara ch. 23 Mar 1765 in Sparsbach.
b. Johann Jacob, b. May 1729, d. 12 Jan 1776 in Sparsbach at age 46y8m.

3. Unpublished paper "Hammond History" by Don Smith of Bloomfield, New Mexico is a history of the Hammond, New Mexico where George Adair and his son George Adair, Jr. were part of the two dozen or so LDS families who settled in the area in the late 1890's. Many had come from the White Mountain aand Apache County area of Arizona. I have a copy of this history on file. The area was first settled by nonmembers of the LDS Church and was kind of a rough area at first. The area is on the San Juan river and was attractive because of the irrigation possibilities. The Hammond Ward was organized on 25 Nov 1900. George Adair, Jr. was named to the bishopric to replace second counselor Joseph W. White when White moved from the area a couple of months or so after the ward organization. The irrigation ditch was problematic with many flash floods continually washing away parts of it. So many families had moved away from the area by 1913, that the ward became a branch of the Western States Mission for the next several years. Don has copies of the ward and branch records and it appears therefrom that the Adairs were active members. In the very early days of the ward, Sunday services were held in the various homes of the ward members. In 1914, after about 14 years, a new church house was built. It was small and built of cedar posts set upright in the ground,then stuccoed with adobe mud. This little building served for church, school, community meetings, and a dance hall. It was so small that there was only room normally for a stove, 12 student desks, and the teacher's desk. For dances, the men would have to take turns in the building. School was normally held for four months a year. The children were taught by some teachers who had but eight years formal education or less. Some of the students had to walk or ride horse back as far as five miles to attend school. Recreational activities in Hammond were humble affairs. There were dances, house parties, and outdoor affairs such as baseball and footraces. Dances were a favorite recreation since they didn't cost much except for the passing around of a mason jar for donations to pay the local fiddler. Often there would be two or three dances a week. Even the little kids danced, but when it became too late the kids were put to bed in the wagon boxes while the adults continued to dance. One of the fiddlers was George Adair's son Rufus. Don Smith's son Grant still has the old fiddle in his possession as of 2003. The old leather case in which the fiddle was carried is very weathered and worn from being hooked to the saddle horn and rubbed back and forth on the side of the horse as Rufus rode horseback to play for the dances. In the summer, normally picnis were held in a large grove of cottonwood trees by the river. Every Fourth of July would be celebrated with camping in the grove in their wagons on the evening of the third. At daybreak campfires were built and the celebration began. In the mornings there would be an outdoor dance followed by pot luck at noon followed by baseball in the afternoon. There was always a patriotic talk by a member of the ward. The festivities would end with a dance lasting well into the night. The irrigation ditch never could bring enough land under cultivation and was constantly rebuilt for 20 or more years before being given up on. The water from the river was very muddy and usually had to be settled before being used domestically. The old timers used to say that "the water was too thick to pour but too thin to cut with a knife." Homes were painted with a mixture of water and soft rock mica. The mica was dug from the hillsides, washed clean, then put in an oven to bake. After baking, it was ground into a fine powder and mixed with water and applied to the walls. This homemade paint gave the homes a beautiful glitter. There never was a post office in Hammond and so they would go up the river to Largo. The water supply was always a problem leading to poor crops; consequently, the men would often go find work outside of the community. Some went to Colorado to work the timber and in the mills. Others helped lay track from Durango to Farmington for the Denver Rio Grande Southern Railroad. Some of the old ward minutes in Farmington refer to times when most all of the men of the ward were gone. In one case in 1909, there was only one brother left temporarily and he did all the ward [home] teaching by himself. In Hammond in 1909, priesthood quorum meetings were held Monday evenings every week. By 1928, most of the Hammond settlers due to hardships and hard times had given up and moved away. Rufus Adair was one who remained. Later in 1928, Hammond was combined with Bloomfield and was organized as the Bloomfield Branch which was in turn a dependent branch of the Burnham Ward in Kirtland. All that is left of the settlement is one old home from 1893 and the Hammond cemetery with a few old stones and at least twenty unmarked graves. George and Emily Tyler Adair are buried in this cemetery. George Jr. is also buried in Hammond and Rufus is buried in Farmington.

4. From the book "Nutrioso and Her Neighbors," by Nina Kelly and Alice Lee [bracketed notes by myself]:
p. V: "Nutrioso has never been a large town, perhaps no more than 800 at any one time." [Photo of Nutrioso in 1896 is included with article.]
p. 31: "Alpine is about 8 miles southeast of Nutrioso, elev. 8,000', at the head of the San Francisco River. It is on the SE side of the Continental Divide while Nutrioso is on the NW side of the watershed."
pp. 37-39: "[In speaking of Willard Lee] While they were living in Clarkston, not far from Kanab, a call came for settlers for Arizona. Late in the summer of 1879, a company started for Arizona. Besides Willard Lee's family were Abner Martin [married to dau. of James Mitchel Mangum], Samuel Neuton [Newton] Adair, John Will Mangum [son of James Mitchel], James Mitchel Mangum, Charles Y. Webb, Abe Winsor, Jacob Hamblin's wife Priscilla, Lora Brown (a widow), and others joined the company as they traveled along.[I believe Samuel J. Adair was with his son Samuel N. on this trip but I cannot prove it.] The road from Kanab led across a barren expanse into the Kaibab Forest. After ascent of the Buckskin Mountains, the trail road wound in and out through the tall pines and cedar trees, then down, down, down they went as if descending into a pit. Trees were left behind. High jagged sandstone cliffs of the Colorado Plateau loomed higher and higher. Camp was made where there was water. Often this necessitated traveling far into the night. Water barrels were carried on the sides of the wagons which furnished sufficient water for domestic use. On they traveled and camped by Houserock springs. On the vermillion colored walls they etched their names and date of trip close by other names and dates of earlier travelers who had passed that way. As they continued their journey, the cliffs began to close in. Emmit Wash and Soap Creek were passed and camp made about one mile from the huge crack in the plateau where ran the mighty muddy Colorado River... Down to the Ferry crossing. The approach to Lee's Ferry was rough and lay in a hollow at the lower end of Glen Canyon. The rapid waters emerge from the canyoun upon a reef of hard rock which slows the stream where it ripples, eddies, and sparkles in its slower course approaching the rapids just below the crossing. Just below the rapids, the Paria Creek flows into the Colorado River... The large float boat was long enough to carry two wagons at one time. The boat was propelled by oars with three men. The boat was towed upstream by horses on the bank pulling it alongside the bank for a short distance then headed up the stream at an angle and driven by oars, aided by the current that forced it across to the opposite side some distance below where it started. Two rowboats were also taken up the side of the bank above the crossing and turned into the stream leading some good swimming stock to decoy the rest of the stock to the other side. With shouts and maneuvering of the boats and swimming stock the stock swam across to the south side... The rough, rocky ascent of Lee's Back Bone was crossed and down on to the rolling plains at the foot of Echo Cliffs they went. There were the hot dry rolling plains with little vegetation and the long dusty trail of the Indian Country, the land of the Navajos... The men were always alert for Indians. When the Little Colorado was reached, all were relieved... In crossing the river, some of the stock got stuck in quicksand... In the settlements of Sunset and Joseph City, they found friends who come three years before. After a few days rest, they continued on south up the Little Colorado River. The river was a slow, sluggish stream winding its way through the sandy bed during the hot dry summer months but was a roaring muddy torrent during floods in the upper reaches of the stream. Through the petrified trees, up and down, in and out, the trail led on and on deeper into the untamed wilderness of the high mountains of snow-covered pine trees... Most of the company remained that winter at Springerville... The next spring Willard moved up on Little Nutrioso Creek. Nutrioso was a sparsely-settled valley in June 1880... In what later became the Lower town in the newly acquired Jones Valley were... George Adair, his wife and six children, and George Jr., his wife and one child."
pp. 60-61: "George Washington Adair (son of Samuel Jefferson and Jamima Catherine Mangum Adair) b. 1837, Pickens County, AL, buried 1909, Hammond, NM. He married Ann Catherine Chessnutt, b. 1844, Missouri; d. 1863, Washington, Utah." Their children and spouses:

George Washington Adair married 20 Emily Tyler. (The following was taken from US 1880 census on Nutrioso Creek, Apache County.) [Census follows.] George Washington Adair Sr. and George Washington Adair Jr. were both in the U.S. census of 1880 at Nutrioso, but they did not stay. They went to Alpine and stayed until Samuel Neuton Adair and his father came to Nutrioso in 1883, then George W. Jr. moved his family to Nutrioso for a few years.
p. 61: "George Washington Adair (son of George Washington and Ann Catherine Chessnut Adair) b, 1861, Santa Clara, Utah; died 1934, Bloomfield, NM. He married Almira Hamblin (dau. of Wm. Haynes and Betsy Leavitt Hamblin) b. 1860, Gunlock, Utah; d. 1941, Mesa, AZ." children and their spouses:

pp. 222-223: "Judge George H. Crosby wrote a column in the St. Johns Observer for a time and among his articles was a lovely one on Nutrioso 40 years before. He called it "Nutrioso As It Was." [Some quotes follow:]
"Then there was George Adair, the best hunter of all those mountain settlements, and incidentally one who always knew all the community news. And Mrs. Lucinda Wilkins and Aunt Francis Mangum, who soon after, became widows and who have spent their lives caring for the sick - both had hearts of gold."
pp. 251-256: Hand drawn plot and block land map with the following comments:
"John Staniford from Alpine built Jerry Harradence's house on Block 18, Lot 2. When George Adair moved, he sold the field east of town to Jim Webb. Jim built a large barn. He sold his place to Jerry Harradence, who established a tannery south of the barn."
"George and Em Adair had 6 children. They lived in the field east of Block 17. The house was a 2-room sawed dove-tailed with logs 6 inches by 10 feet. He sold to Jim Webb all of the field east of the creek when George moved to Utah [New Mexico?]. George's father lived with him. Samuel Jefferson Adair was born in 1806 in South Carolina. He died in July 1889 at Nutrioso and was buried at St. Johns. Part of the time Samuel Jefferson lived with his son Nute."
"Wesley and Rebecca Adair lived on 9-2, a one-room log house bouth from Lime Hamblin. Wesley had been in the Mormon Battalion. He lived 20 years in Nutrioso and died in 1903."
"James Mitchel and Frances Mangum lived on 10-2. He moved in after Joe Lewis moved away."
"Jim and Fred Wilkins were sons of Wilson Wilkins by a previous marriage. They were not married and lived in a 1-room log house on 10-4. Billy Hamblin built the house. Fred went to Utah and Jim married Caroline Mangum. There were 2 houses on this lot and Jim and Fred lived in the east one. Mary Ann [Adair] Mangum and her son Neuton [Newton] lived in the west house. It was a 1-room log."

5. In the excerpts cited above from the book "Nutrioso and Her Neighbors," there are some things that appear to be hearsay and anecdotal. The following excellent excerpts prepared by Don Smith help clarify when the Adairs came from Utah to Arizona:
a. From Gennett (Adair) Clark Story [daughter of Samuel Newton Adair]:
"So on the Eleventh day of November 1879 we left Washington on our way to Arizona. I thought then that we were going so far away that we would never see Utah or our home again. At Kanab my father' s brother George W. Adair and his family joined us. In my father's family there was father, mother, my brother Charlie, myself, Abe, Minia, Mary and the baby Anna then six months old. In my uncle's family there was Uncle George, Aunt Emily, their daughter Emily, sons Daniel, William, John, Newton and baby Ruth and Aunt Emily's brother John Tyler. They were daughter and son of Daniel Tyler of the Mormon Battalion. Each family had two wagons and each had a few head of cattle besides teams and riding horses... We landed in Concho on the eleventh of January 1880. Concho was a little town, mostly mexican. One family there was William Pulsifer another Mormon Battalion man and Uncle to Aunt Emily. He had bought a place there with three small rooms, flat dirt roof and facing the north and built like this (rectangle). They let Uncle George live in the East Room, my folks had the middle room and they lived in the west room. Pulsifers had three or four children so there was seven grown people and fifteen or sixteen children, but we managed to get along until spring, then Uncle George decided to move to a place called Nutrioso. The stories he had heard of Elk, Deer and Wild Turkeys interested him."
b. From Almira's Life Story [Almira Hamblin Adair, wife of Geo. Adair, Jr., son of Geo. and Ann Chestnut Adair]:
"Both the Adair family and my family answered the call. The Adair family was to leave a few months before our family, so, we decided we would get married as we didn't want to be separated... There were 45 families in our company. Our Captain was Mr. John Mangum. A man of great courage, he had crossed the plains in earlier days.We were on the road seven days before we reached Lee's Ferry, on the Big Colorado. We were compelled to travel very slowly as we all had our cattle with us. In mother's herd there were about 250 head... The snow was about two feet deep by this time, but not so very cold. The next morning after the baby's birth we traveled on toward Sunset and arrived there the third day. This was a little Mormon settlement on the Little Colorado. The people who had come the year before had raised a crop so the travelers could get supplies. This little settlement was just across the Little Colorado from where Winslow is today. Just two weeks after our baby's birth, sister Jane's baby arrived, a girl. We stayed in Sunset two weeks and during that time my brother and brother-in-law put up a one roomed log cabin. Mother, brother Billy's family and Jane and her husband stayed there two months. As Baby and I were all right we went on after two weeks to Concho, where George's father and the rest of his people were. Father Adair and the Clark boys and George's Uncle Newton had been at Concho about two months when we came. They had put [up] cabins for shelter, planning to stay here until spring."
c. Don's summary on Samuel Jefferson Adair: "I think it's very significant that Samuel Jefferson Adair wasn't mentioned as traveling with either group. I think he went to Arizona in early summer of 1880. If you look in the ordinance index, Samuel Jefferson was sealed to Betsy Mangum & Marie Christiane Sorensen on the 10 of March 1880 in the St. George Temple. The rest of the family (George Washington, Samuel Jefferson & George Jr.) was already in Arizona. I don't think Samuel would have made the rugged trip back to Utah so soon if he had been in Arizona. I believe he went to Arizona with his brother Thomas Jefferson Adair soon after the sealing date, as he appears on the 1880 census in Show Low Creek, the same community as Thomas Jefferson Adair. Show Low Creek was later known as Fool's Hollow, which is approximately 30 miles from Concho. As we know Samuel & Anne moved on to St. John's a little later."

6. The book "An Enduring Legacy - Locality Histories," pp. 274-5:
"Hammond, San Juan County, New Mexico. The first Mormon families who came to Hammond and Largo, New Mexico, from 1900 to 1902 were James Deaton, John L. Tenney, George Black, Sr., George Black, Jr., George Adair, Jr., George Adair, Sr., Mike Hale, Samuel Hale, Ren Huntsman, Joseph Draper, Joseph Sorenson, Delbert Brown, James W. McDaniel, Arthur Whiting, Edgar Whiting, Hans Anderson, John Norton, Sr., Tom Dustin, Robert Gillespie, George Gale, Thomas Gale, Alma Young, Bud Evans, William Reid, Sr., and Alma Cox.
When the Hammond Ward was organized there were twelve families. On Nov. 25, 1900, President Hammond and his first counselor, William Hall, of Mancos, Colorado, presided over a meeting at Hammond and organized the first ward. The ward was called the Hammond Ward after the president. That same evening President Hammond was fatally wounded when his team of horses ran away and he was thrown form his rig. He died within 36 hours after the accident. James F. Deaton was the first bishop of the ward, his first counselor was John L. Tenney, the second counselor, George Adair, Jr."

7. On file with me is a lengthy life history of Alfred Chestnut Adair, son of Geo. Wash. Adair, Jr. and grandson of Geo. Washington Adair, as given at his funeral 2 Apr 1983. It indicates that he was born in Price, Utah, 1 May 1898. This helps place his parents there before Hammond and most likely his grandparents as well. Typescript copy:
"Life History of Alfred Chestnut Adair Given at his Funeral 2 April 1983.
Alfred Chestnut Adair was born in Price, Utah the first day of May 1898. He was the 10th child of 11 children of George Washington Adair, Jr. and Almira Hamblin.
He spent most of his childhood in the Farmington, New Mexico area and his favorite pastime was trapping.
As was quite common at that time, Chess, as he was known throughout most of his life, had little formal schooling and did not get past the 4th grade. Ninety percent of his schooling came from actual experience and he became very proficient in many trades.
Chess's family moved rather frequently and lived in various places in Southern Utah, Northern New Mexico and northern Arizona. When he was about 18 years. Old they moved to Mesa. Being a patriotic young man he was preparing to enter the military services when World War I came to an end and he was not privileged to serve his country in that way.
His interests turned to other things and one night at a dance in Alma Ward he met a nice young lady buy the name of Helena Victoria Hille. Just before he turned 21 he won her hand and on 9 April 1919 they started a marriage that lasted almost 64 years. They had their good times and they had their hard times, but by being very frugal they were able to take care of their family without going into debt.
Chess was a very hard worker and a very honest man. He believed in earning his pay and even doing more than was asked of him. It would have been very easy several times to go on welfare to provide for his family, but he was too proud.
Their first Child, Milton, was born in Mesa. The wandering but had apparently been born in Chess, so like his parents, he and Lena were on the go. Their 2nd Child, Alfred W., was born in Bloomfield, New Mexico.
Chess took every opportunity he could to increase his work knowledge. Every job he took he learned it well and did a good job. You might say he was a 'Jack of all trades and master of most.' One time he hot the job of felling some trees on the University of Arizona Experimental farm her I M4esa. The trees had to fall in a certain place. He said he could fell them exactly where he wanted. To the surprise of those he did the job for, every tree fell where he intended for it to.
Chess also worked for the mines for a while. One of the fun things he liked to do during his lifetime was prospecting. He never struck it rich but he had fun looking.
Another thing he loved to do was hunt and fish. He wouldn't kill just for the thrill. He believed in killing only for food. The first time he went hunting he was 19 and went with a group to get meat for their families. Chess killed 5 deer so they went home with their wagon loaded.
It seems that each job he took he would become very proficient and many times was urged to take a job as a foreman. Apparently this was not to his liking so each time he would pack up his family and move.
After various occupations he finally ended up in the building trade. He became very good at it. He built the first units of the Winter Garden Motel and helped on the additional ones. Brown and Brown stands on that property today. There are many homes in Mesa that are his handiwork.
Chess and Lena had 5 boys - Milton, Al, Norman, Charles and Leonard, before they finally got their girl, LaPreel. You can imagine how happy they were and how spoiled she became. She was the apple of her daddy's eye. It was diagnosed that she had rheumatic fever while they lived in Salt Lake City, so again they had to pull up roots and moved to Mesa in 1944. The three oldest boys, Milton, Al and Norman, were in the armed services at the time. Chess built a nice home at 145 East 1st Ave.
After Al got out of the Navy he and his dad went into the building business together. They built several homes and Al decided to make the Navy his career. That ended their partnership, but Chess kept in it until he retired.
Chess had several brushes with death and the first was when he was 4 years old. He fell off the wagon and wheel ran over his head and split it open. Not being very close to a doctor, it took hours to get him treated. He carried the scars on his forehead the rest of his life."
[Kerry's note: with the above I also have copies of his birth certificate, marriage license and certificate, death certificate, and two photos.]
Some of the grandchildren remember that grandpa was an expert at removing slivers with his pocketknife. It was very scary but he could do it without it hurting. Some would let no one else remove them.
LaPreel remembers her daddy playing "The Bear Went Over The Mountain" on his French harmonica for her when she was young. His grandchildren missed out on this area of his talents because false teeth and harmonicas don't work too well together.
About 2 years ago Chess had a stroke that left his left side numb, but he still walked and kept active. Then he gradually started declining in health and finally got pneumonia. When he finally had to be moved to his son Charles' place he would not leave his home until he combed his hair. He finally had to be admitted to the hospital and after a short time there he passed away Thursday afternoon, 31 March 1983. He is survived by his wife, Lena, 4 sons - Milton, Norman, Charles and Leonard - his daughter LaPreel, one sister -Bessie- 20 grandchildren and 36 Great Grandchildren."

8. From Don and Carolyn Smith, 2003:
"As told by Donald Ray Adair, son of LeRoy Adair, son of George Washington Adair Jr.
This was about 1919: Donald was about 5 years of age at the time. George Washington Adair Jr. and his son LeRoy Adair, their wives (Martha Ann Black and Almira Hamblin), and some of LeRoy's children, Lucille, Ken, Ervin and Don. (Don couldn't remember if there were any more of the children with them.) They moved from Monticello, Utah, with a herd of about 100 head of cattle to a reach southeast of Ramah. Here they acquired three sections of land under the Homestead Act.
The women drove two wagons; each wagon had four horses hitched to it. The men and kids drove the cattle. Some times the kids got to ride a horse. They camped out at night. This trip was done in two stages. The first summer was spent getting to Bloomfield, New Mexico. They spent the winter there. The second summer was spent going from Bloomfield to Ramah, and on out to their newly acquired property.
They raised oats, corn, and alfalfa to feed their cattle. They depended on the rain to fill a pot tank for the household water and also for their irrigation. LeRoy had one section and George two. They each had their own homes on their property. They did most of their grocery and other shopping at the Ashcroft Trading Post just south of them.
They lived at this location for about two years then they decided they couldn't make a go of it and sold it. They moved to Mesa, Arizona, where they had a job waiting for them. They went down in the same two wagons that had brought them from Utah. These wagons had canvas tops. They were slept in at night as they camped. Donald remembers that at one time his Grandpa (George Jr.) shot a deer to eat. They went by way of Flagstaff to Prescott to Yarnell Hill down to Wickenburg, and on to Mesa. They stayed a year in Mesa, then they returned to Ramah. When asked why they moved so often, Donald's reply was. 'They'd get a few dollars in their pockets and move on. It's just the way they were.'"

"Obituary of Guy R. Adair.
Guy R. Adair, son of George W. Adair and Almira Hamblin, was born July 3, 1892, at Nutrioso, Apache, Arizona. He had five brothers and five sisters, making a total of eleven children born to this couple. Two brothers and three sisters survive him. He was a member on record of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He came from typical pioneer stock, and their names are linked with much of the early day history of Southern Utah and Northern Arizona.
His parents came to Arizona as a young married couple and settled at Nutrioso, Apache County, Arizona where Guy was born, high up in the White Mountains, surrounded by beautiful scenery, and among some of the best neighbors and friends one could ever have. Here wild life was abundant and other conditions which made for a good wholesome life. His father and grandfather before were experts at hunting and fishing so it was only natural that Guy would follow their example, and he became an expert with his rifle, and never failed to bring home his deer.
His father spent much of his time contracting, mostly in the timber, cutting and hauling logs. His family always went with him, and because of this fact Guy's schooling as far as book learning was concerned was very limited-but through experience and reading in his spare time, he became schooled in many things of life. When he was about fifteen years old he had a very bad sick spell. At the time no one seemed to know what it was, but later when more was learned about rheumatic fever, there is no doubt but that was what he had, and perhaps weakened his heart, which caused much of his trouble in later life.
Only for this sick spell, his life was uneventful until he met the girl who was to become his wife, Irene FairChild. They met in Ramah, McKinley County, New Mexico in 1920 and after a years courtship were married the 6th of September 1921 in Gallup, New Mexico. At this time Guy had a homestead about fourteen miles south of Ramah, New Mexico. This was their first home and they were extremely happy. While residing here their first Child, a boy, was born to them. They named him Raymond. Times were hard and difficult for them, money scarce and crops failed for lack of moisture, so they abandoned the homestead and moved to Bloomfield, New Mexico. From there they moved to Pine, Arizona in 1924 where they rented a small ranch and Guy went to work for the Gila County Highway Department maintenance, and also for the Arizona Power Co., as flume repairman. In 1927 their daughter, Virginia, was born. Guy was very happy to have a little daughter added to their family. No father could have been more proud, now he had a loving and devoted wife and a boy and a girl to labor for.
He continued on with his work until 1930, when his parents came to visit them. His father was getting along in years and his health was failing him, so after talking it all over with Guy, they decided the best thing to do would be for Guy to, again pull stakes and return with his parents to the San Juan Basin, as it seemed they would be depending more and more on him for help. go true to his inborn nature of sacrificing self for others, he left a good paying job, to go with his folks to establish a home near them where he could assist them in their declining years. In February 1931, a little son was added to their family named Wilbur John. Guy obtained employment with a road construction company at Kirtland driving one of their big trucks. When this job was completed it became necessary for Guy to again seek employment. As we were going into the years of the depression and work In the San Juan Basin was very scarce, many men had to leave home to seek employment, and Guy was one of them. Early spring of 1931 found him again in Pine, Arizona. He went to work for a private company falling timber. His work was about twelve miles from Pine. He left his family in Fruitland, New Mexico with his parents and hoped to be able to send for them later. But fate ruled It otherwise for one day in April, while felling a tree, he was caught by the tree, crushing his left leg below the knee. This happened about two in the afternoon and someone had to go to Pine for help to get him out of the deep canyon he was in. No car or wagon could get to where he was, so he was brought out on a stretcher by able bodied men. This all took time, so it was late afternoon of the following day that he was taken to Prescott hospital where he lay four or five weeks. In all those long hours following the accident he had nothing to relieve the pain. Had it not been for his strong physical condition, he would not have lived and the doctors marveled that he did. Being so long without medical care and losing so much blood, he pleaded with the doctors to save his leg, for he well knew that without the use of both legs he could not go on doing the things he so much loved doing, such as dancing, riding, hunting and working in the wide open spaces. But it was his leg or his life, as blood poisoning had set in. So his leg was sacrificed to save his life. During all this trying ordeal, his wife was unable to be with him. She was home caring for the tiny baby and the other children. It was a sad Guy, who after being released from the hospital returned to his family. Three days after his return they buried their infant son. Guy never gave up. He was a good carpenter and cabinet maker. Prior to his accident, he did this work as a hobby, but now he must use this skill to provide for his family.
He built a home in Bloomfield and set up a shop where he could make a business of his trade. Later in Farmington he did the same. In 1939 he returned to Pine. Here another daughter, Marguerette (Peggy), was born. In 1940 his wife began having trouble with her eyes and was under a doctor's care for two years, and nearly lost her vision. They moved to Mesa in the fall of 1941 where she could be near a good doctor. This winter he did odd Jobs of anything he could find to do.
In the spring he left his family in Mesa and went to Ft. Wingate to work in defense work and continued working all during the war, mostly filing saws for the defense plants there and at Grants. In 1943 another son was born to them. They named him Dennis. After the war ended he was working on an Auto Court in Winslow, when he had a bad heart attack and was taken to Gallup, and was in bed for about five months. They decided to come to the Salt River Valley thinking the lower climate would be beneficial to him, and no doubt it did add years to his life.
He was among the first few to build homes on the desert south of the knolls. Guy was never quite well after the heart attack, so it was with much determination and difficulty, that his home was completed. He still did cabinet and carpentry to help with their living expenses and the expense of building. Most of the furniture in their home was made by him, and will be passed down through the ages as a monument of his skill and determination to keep trying under all obstacles. He leaves much of his work as a builder wherever he has lived.
He became very ill in January 1958, and had several bad heart attacks during the years In December he was taken to the South side District Hospital, where he remained until the 10th of January, when he was taken home. He grew steadily worse, and suffered constantly until he passed away April 8th, 1959. His wife, Irene and son Dennis were with him at his passing. Irene had been with him constantly during all his sickness, as she had stood by him all during their married life, to give comfort and aid.
Guy loved people, and was a friend to those who needed a friend! Very reserved and quiet spoken, he made friends wherever he went, and it can truthfully be said of him that he had no enemies. He loved music and many have enjoyed his music on the violin. He leaves behind to mourn his passing, his wife, Irene, his sons, Dennis of Mesa and Raymond of Phoenix and his daughters, Virginia Medlock of Gallup, New Mexico and Marguerette (Peggy) Christensen of Page. Two brothers, Roy of Gallup and Chess of Mesa. Three sisters, Bertha McDaniel of Bloomfield, New Mexico, Emma Finch of Farmington, New Mexico and Bessie Slade of Kirtland and many other relatives and friends."

BURIAL:
1. Per 8 Feb 2002 email of Carolyn Smith in regards to gravesite: "We know that he was buried in the Hammond Cemetery. Don, my husband, extracted the information from the old Young Stake History. It says, George Washington Adair Jr., then gives his death date, and states that he was buried in the Hammond Cemetery. We have checked with the Bloomfield Cemetery Board and they have no record of him being buried in the Bloomfield Cemetery. What our question is, what plot or location was he buried in. We feel that it is probably likely that he was buried next to his son Clarence D. Adair. There is a grave located next to Clarence D. Adair's grave on the south side. There is a metal marker on this grave but it is so weathered that it is impossible to read. Could this have been George Washington Adair Jr.'s grave." 		Adair, George Washington (I2041)

160 BIOGRAPHY:
1. Charles Burr Todd, "A General History of the Burr Family," Knickerbocker Pr., New York, 4th Ed., 1902, follows the line of three different branches in America: Jehu Burr who starts the "Fairfield" branch, Benjamin who starts the "Connecticut" branch, and Henry who starts the "New Jersey" branch. There is no known interconnection between the branches that the author could find. The author also states that he sent a letter to every parish in England offering a reward for any rector who could provide a baptismal record for any of the three Burrs - but he was absolutely without any success. He also spent much time in the British Museum researching their genealogical records - but again without success. The following is of Benjamin:
A. "Benjamin Burr, the founder of the Hartford branch of the family, first appeared as one of the original settlers of Hartford, in 1635. His name in the land division of Hartford, in 1639, as an original proprietor and settler is the first evidence we have of his presence in America; but as we are told that the first settlers of Hartford were collected from Watertown, Newton, and other places near Boston, it is certain that he was in Massachusetts some time before his appearance in Hartford, and he may have been one of the eight hundred who came to America with Winthrrop's fleet in June, 1630. He seems to have been an active, energetic, thorough business man, and mingled but little in public affairs; hence but brief mention is made of him in the records of the colony. "He was the first of his name in Connecticut, and was admitted a freeman in 1658. His allotment in the land division of Hartford in 1639 was six acres. He also drew eighteen acres in the land division of East Hartford in 1666. His house-lot in Hartford, in 1640, was bounded northeast of Stephen Hart, northwest on John Warner, southwest by the road to the cow-pasture, and southeast on Samuel' Hale's lot. That he was a soldier in the Pequot War is proved by the following extract from a book by Hon. J. W. Stuart, called 'Hartford in the Olden Time,' published in 1855, being an affidavit of Thomas Burr, son of Benjamin, dated Hartford, 1721: 'I Thomas Burr of Hartford aged 75 years certify as above written that I heard my father say as aforesaid, and also remember said Munson when he lived in Hartford and often heard my father and other Pequot soldiers say that said Munson was a soldier in said war with them.'" "He appears to have been a thrifty, well-to-do settler, as he owned another house-lot in the northwest part of the village, besides houses and lands at Greenfield, in Windsor. He also gave his name to one of the city streets. He died at Hartford, March 31, 1681, and was buried probably in some one of the hillside cemeteries long since obliterated, in which rests the dust of so many of Hartford's early settlers. A monument ot his memory, in common with the other original settlers of Hartford, was erected in the cemetery of the Central Congregational Church, by the Ancient Burying Ground Association of that city..."
As before remarked, but few vestiges of Benjamin Burr remain to the present time. His will is found, and in an old plan of the city of Hartford a Burr Street appears, probably named in his honor; it ran northwest from Main, at the corner of Village and Magon, to Albany, and is now a portion of Main Street. "His will is dated 2 Jan 1677, four years before his death, and reads as follows:
"In the name of God, Amen. I, Benjamin Burre, of Hartford, in New England, being feeble in body but of good sense and understanding, do make and ordain this my last will and testament in the manner following: Imprimis. I give and bequeath my soule into the hands of God, and my body after my decease to comely Christian burial. Also, my will is that my just debts and funeral expenses be paid out of my estate, and as for the rest of my worldly goods, I dispose of them as follows:
"Item. I give unto my beloved wife, Anna Burre, my whole estate during the term of her natural life, excepting only what I doe by this my following will appoynt to be payed before her death.
"Item. I give unto my son, Samuel Burre, and his heirs forever, after my wife's decease, all my land at Greenfield, with all the buildings thereon, and doe also give him whatsoever he hath already received from me.
"Item. I give unto my son, Thomas Burre, and his heirs forever, all my housing and lands whatsoever, in the township of Hartford, after my wife's decease; and my team, that is two oxen and a horse, also all the utensils to the team belonging, as cart, plow, and such like, to be his after my decease, and my will is that he doe with the team and utensils doe all the work for my wife while she liveth that is to be done with a team.
"Item. I give unto my daughter, Hannah Burre, after my decease, a bed and furniture, with so much other household stuff as will amount to ten pounds at the inventoried price. Also I give to my said daughter one-third part of all my other household goods, to be delivered after her mother's decease.
"Item. I give unto my daughter, Mary Crowe, twenty shillings, and it is to what she hath already received from me to be paid after my decease.
"Item. I give unto my grandchild, Mary Crowe, ten pounds after my wife's decease, upon condition that she live with and serve her grandmother until her marriage or the age of eighteen years.
"Item. I give ten pounds to be at the disposal of my beloved wife at her will to such of her children as by their duteous behavior shall in her judgment best deserve the same; also if there be any overplus of my estate when the afore-mentioned legacies are paid, I bequeath it to the dieposal of my said wife.
"Item. I doe moreover hive ten pounds more to my daughter Hannah, to be paid to her by my son Thomas, after her mother's decease, besides what is before mentioned.
"Item. My will is that my son Thomas shall take care of his mother while they live together in this world, to supply her wants in all respects, so far as the estate left to that end will do it.
"Item. I make my wife, Anna Burre, and my son, Thomas Burre, joint and only executors of this my last will and testament.

1. Citation Information: "The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633," Volumes I-III (Online database: NewEnglandAncestors.org, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2002), biography about the father of Elizabeth Masters:
"JOHN MASTERS
Origin: Unknown
Migration: 1630
First Residence: Watertown
Removes: Cambridge 1633
Occupation: Tavernkeeper. On 3 September 1635 "John Maistrs" was licensed to keep an ordinary at Cambridge [MBCR 1:159].
Church Membership: Member of Watertown church by July 1632 [WJ 1:97].
Freeman: 18 May 1631 (as "Mr. John Maisters") [MBCR 1:366].
Education: On 14 March 1630/1 John Masters wrote from "Watertown, near Charles River, New England," to Lady Barrington at Hatfield Broadoak, Essex; this letter is described as being in "excellent handwriting" [NEHGR 91:68-69; Letters to NE 83-85].
Offices: Commissioner to settle the estate of Mr. Crispe, 27 September 1631 [MBCR 1:92]. Committee (for Watertown with Mr. Oldham) to confer with the court about raising public stock, 9 May 1632 [MBCR 1:95].
Estate: On 5 August 1633 granted one-half acre for a cowyard at Cambridge [CaTR 5]. In the division of meadow on 20 August 1635 he had a proportional share of 1½ [CaTR 13]. In the 8 February 1635/6 list of houses in Cambridge John Masters had two in the Westend [CaTR 18]. In the Cambridge land inventory on 10 October 1635 John Masters held three parcels: seven acres in the West End with "one house with other out houses backside and planting ground"; two acres by the Pine Swampe; and six acres in the Great Marsh [CaBOP 29]. By 1639 he had acquired three more parcels: one house and garden with eight acres (bought of Thomas Winckall); seven and a half acres of marsh at the Fresh Pond (granted him by the town); and five acres of marsh at Oyster Bank (purchased of Robert Lockwood) [CaBOP 53]. In his will, dated 19 December 1639 and proved at an unknown date, "John Masters" bequeathed to "my wife all my estate for the term of her life, and after her decease ... to my daughter Sarath Dobyson £10"; to "my daughter Lidya Tabor £10"; to "my grandchild John Lockwood £10"; to "Nathaniell Masters £10"; to "Abraham Masters 10s."; residue to "my daughter Elizabeth Latham" [SPR 1:11].
Birth: By about 1581 based on estimated date of marriage.
Death: Cambridge 21 December 1639 [NEHGR 4:181].
Marriage: By about 1606 Jane ____ (assuming she was the mother of all his children). She died at Cambridge 10 December 1639, yet her husband named her in his will, suggesting an error on the clerk's part or lack of awareness on John's [NEHGR 4:181]. Alternatively, Jane could be a daughter or other relative of John's and his wife's name unknown.
Children:
i (poss.) Son, b. say 1606; possibly predeceased his father and left sons Nathaniel and Abraham, both named in John's will. (For Nathaniel's further career, see GDMNH 467).
ii Sarah, b. say 1609; m. ____ Dobyson.
iii Elizabeth, b. say 1612; m. (1) by November 1632 Edmund Lockwood (birth of first child [NEHGR 4:181]); m. (2) after 3 March 1634/5 (when she was called "Ruth Lockwood" [MBCR 1:134]) and by 1639 Cary Latham.
iv Lydia, b. say 1615; m. by 1639 as his first wife PHILIP TABOR .
Comments: In his letter of 14 March 1630/1 to Lady Barrington, Masters noted that she and her family had "desired me to write of this country, and said you would believe what I should write"; he also stated that "Sir Richard Saltonstall hath put me in place to oversee his great family, with his worthy son" [NEHGR 91:68-69; Letters of NE 83-85]. These comments, and the entire tenor of the letter, indicate that Masters had in the past been in service to one or more of the Puritan gentry families of Essex, and his origin should be sought there. On 14 June 1631 the General Court promised to make satisfaction on the charges encountered by "Mr. John Maisters" who had "undertaken to make a passage from Charles Ryver to the newe towne, twelve foot broad & seven foot deep" [MBCR 1:88]. On 27 January 1631/2 Winthrop reported on an expedition made by himself and others "about eight miles above Watertown," during which they "came to another brook, greater than the former, which they called Masters' Brook, because the eldest of their company was one John Masters" [WJ 1:82]. On 5 July 1632 Winthrop described Masters's independent spirit: "The strife at Watertown congregation continued still; but at length they gave the separatists a day to come in, or else to be proceeded against. At that day, all came in and submitted, except John Masters, who, though he were advised by diverse ministers and others, that he had offended in turning his back upon the sacrament, and departing out of the assembly, etc., because they had then admitted a member whom he judged unfit, etc.; yet he persisted. So the congregation (being loath to proceed against him) gave him a further day; 8, at which time he continuing obstinate, they excommunicated him; but, about a fortnight after, he submitted himself, and was received in again" [WJ 1:97]. On 4 June 1639 for some unknown offense "John Masters, having license, was discharged" [MBCR 1:268]."

2. Quotes about the connection of Elizabeth (Masters) Lockwood to her father John Masters:
A. The book: "Genealogy of the Lockwood Family 1630-1888 - Descendants of Robert Lockwood, Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America from A.D. 1630," compiled by Frederic A. Holden and E. Dunbar Lockwood, printed privately by the family, 1889, Philadelphia. This book quotes from the will of John Masters, from the records of Suffolk, Mass. wherein he wills "to my grandchild, John Lockwood, ten pounds...(and) the remainder of my estate unto my daughter, Elizabeth Latham." Several other siblings to Elizabeth are also mentioned. John Masters died 21 Dec. 1639 and his wife died 5 days after him according to the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, vol.2, p.180.
B. FHL Book 929.273 L814a or FHL film 1321248, item 6, 'Some Descendants of Edmund Lockwood (1594-1635) of Cambridge, Massachusetts and his son Edmund Lockwood (c. 1625-1693) of Stamford Connecticut,' by Harriet Woodbury Hodge, C.G., 1978, Appendix 1, has the following quote to which the author attributes her source as follows: "All material on pages 71-73, except for this compiler's interpolations in brackets, is copied verbatim from the following source: Frederic A. Holden and E. Dunbar Lockwood, "Descendants of Robert Lockwood," Philadelphia, 1889. pp. 633-42. [This book contains many verbatim copies of previously unpublished and published Lockwood records. Unfortunately, these records were often ignored or misinterpreted by the compilers of the genealogy.]" The appendix:
"Copies of records pertaining to Edmund Lockwood [Jr., the Immigrant] from the appendix of the 'Lockwood Genealogy by Holden and Lockwood,' pp. 633-642. (It is difficult to understand how the compilers of that genealogy could have studiously copied these and similar records and have completely ignored them, depriving Edmund Lockwood of all his descendants while erroneously ascribing them to his brother, Robert Lockwood!) Rearranging for chronology, we read:
P. 641 [Abstract: The will of John Masters of Suffolk County, Mass. He d. 21 December 1639. Estate to my wife for her lifetime; afterward to daughters Sarah Dobyson and Lidya Tabor; to grandchild John Lockwood; to Nathaniel Masters and Abraham Masters; remainder to daughter Elizabeth Latham.] (N.E.H. andG.

The version below is the most current version:
"EDMUND LOCKWOOD
ORIGIN: Probably Combs, Suffolk ["Connecticut Ancestry 47:120-23].
MIGRATION: 1630 (based on request for freemanship on 19 October 1630 and jury service on 9 November 1630 [MBCR 1:79, 81]). (Edmund Lockwood was "Lockwood" of John Winthrop's 1629 list [WP 2:276].)
FIRST RESIDENCE: Unknown (probably Watertown).
REMOVES: Cambridge by 1632. "Mr Edmond Lockwood" was the third in the list of eight "Newtone Inhabitant" which is found at the beginning of the Cambridge town records, and probably dates from 1632 [CaTR 2].
FREEMAN: Requested 19 October 1630 (as "Mr. Edmond Lockwood") and admitted 18 May 1631 (as "Mr. Edmond Lockewood") [MBCR 1:79, 366]. OFFICES: Deputy for Cambridge to Massachusetts Bay General Court (as Mr. Lockwood")., 9 May 1632 [MBCR 1:95].
Massachusetts Bay petit jury, 9 November 1630 (as "Mr. Edmond Lockwood"), [MBCR 1:81].
Cambridge constable (as "Mr. Edmond Lockwood"), 9 May 1632 [MBCR 1:81]. ESTATE: On 3 March 1634/5, "It is ordered, that Ruth [sic] Lockwood, widow, shall bring all the writings that her husband left in her hands to John Haynes, Esq., & Simon Bradstreete, on the third day of the next week, who shall detain the same in their hands till the next Court, when they shall be disposed of to those to whom they belong" [MBCR 1:134]. On 7 April 1635, "It is referred to the church of Waterton, with the consent of Rob[er]te Lockwood, executor of Edmond Lockwood, deceased, to dispose of the children & estate of the said Edmond Lockwood, given to them, to such persons as they think meet, which if they perform not within fourteen days, it shall be lawful for the Governor, John Hayne, Esq., & Simon Bradstreete, to dispose of the said children & estates as in their discretion, they shall think meet, as also to take an account of the said Rob[er]te Lockwood, & give him a full discharge" [MBCR 1:143-44]. On 2 June 1635, "In the cause of the children & widow of Edward Lockwood, (the elders & other of the church of Waterton being present,) and upon consideration of the order of Court in April last made in the case, which was found not to have been observed, because the estate was not computed & apportioned, it is now ordered, with consent of all parties, viz:, the church of Waterton, the widow of the said Edmond living, & the executor having consented to the former order, that the present Governor & the Secretary shall have power to call parties & witnesses for finding out the true estate, having consideration of the uncertainty of the will, & the debts, & other circumstances, to apportion the remainder of the estate to the wife & Children, according to their best discretion; & then the church of Waterton is to dispose of the elder children & their portions as shall be best for their Christian education & the preservation of their estate" [MBCR 1:151]. BIRTH: By about 1600 based on estimated date of marriage (but see COMMENTS below). [KP note: It appears the author did not update this statement in the revision since the COMMENTS do not address the birth at all; however, the his reference to "Connecticut Ancestry" does as 16 Jan 1598/1599 at Combs, Suffolk, England.] DEATH: Cambridge between 9 May 1632 [MBCR 1:95, 96] and 3 March 1634/5 [MBCR 1:134] (and probably closer to the earlier date, since Edmund Lockwood does not appear in any of the recorded Cambridge land grants beginning in August 1633). MARRIAGE: (1) By about 1625 ____ ____; she may have died in England before 1630.
(2) By 1632 Elizabeth Masters, daughter of JOHN MASTERS {1630, Watertown}. She married (2) CARY LATHAM {1639, Cambridge}. CHILDREN:
With first wife
i EDMUND LOCKWOOD, b. say 1625; m. Stamford 7 January [1655/6] Hannah Scott, daughter of TTHOMAS SCOTT {1634, Ipswich} [GM 2:6:209-13].
ii child LOCKWOOD, (one or more additional children by first wife implied by court order to the Watertown church "to dispose of the elder children" [MBCR 1:151]); no further record.
With second wife
iii JOHN LOCKWOOD, b. Cambridge [blank] November 1632 ("son of Edward Lockwood & Elisabeth his wife") [NEHGR 4:181]; d. at New London in 1683, unmarried [Lockwood Gen 10].
ASSOCIATIONS: In a discussion of financial transactions, John Winthrop wrote to his son John in Grot on 23 July 1630 saying "If money be brought to you or your Uncle Downinge for Goodman Lockwood, let Mr. Peirce be paid his bill of provisions for him, and bring the rest with you" [WP 2:306]. "Mr. Edmond Lockwood" was the third in the list of eight "Newtowne Inhabitants" which is found at the beginning of the Cambridge town records, and probably dates from 1632 [CaTR 2]. After NICHOLAS KNAPP was fined for quackery on 1 March 1630/1, "Mr. Will[ia]m Pelham and Mr. Edmond Lockewood hath promised to pay to the Court the sum of £5" [MBCR 1:83]. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: The 1889 Lockwood genealogy (Frederic A. Holden and E. Dunbar Lockwood, "Descendants of Robert Lockwood, History of the Lockwood Family in America," [Philadelphia 1889]) was deservedly described by Jacobus as "a genealogical atrocity" [TAG 31:222]. By lumping all the descendants of the first Edmund under his brother Robert, the posterity of this family through eldest son Edmund was misplaced. Donald Lines Jacobus began to sort the family out properly in 1930, with further contributions made in 1955 [FOOF 1:380-81; TAG 31:222-24]. In 1978 Harriet Woodbury Hodge published detailed arguments for a rearrangement of the Lockwood families that would restore to Edmund Lockwood his children ["Some Descendants of Edmund Lockwood (1594-1635) of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and his son Edmund Lockwood (c. 1625-1693) of Stamford, Connecticut" (New York 1978), cited above as Lockwood Gen]."
In 2004 Robert Charles Anderson reviewed the evidence for the English ancestry of Edmund and Robert Lockwood ["Connecticut Ancestry" 47:119-30]."

Some Descendants of Edmund Lockwood (1594-1635) And'"His Son EDMUND LOCK\VOOD (c. 1625-1693):
Edmund Lockwood of Combs, county Suffolk, the English progenitor, married there 3 September 1592 ALES COWPER (COOPER). Of their "Children, two sons came to Massachusetts in 1630 with the Winthrop Fleet:
1. Edmund Lockwood, baptized 9 February 1594 at Combs. (Charles E. Banks, 'The Winthrop Fleet of 1630,' Boston, 1930, pp. 79, 80.) He 1/m. before 1625 in England, ____, an unknown wife who perhaps d. shortly after her arrival in America. He 2/m before 1632 Elizabeth MASTERS, daughter of John Masters of Cambridge, Mass. (James Savage, 'Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, 1860-1862, reprint: Baltimore, 1965, 3:104-5, 170-71 & Charles H. Pope, 'Pioneers of Massachusetts,' 1900, reprint Baltimore, 1969, pp. 289 and 404)...
I. Edmund Lockwood, (Edmund of England), bp. 9 February 1594 at Combs, co. Suffolk, d. before 3 March 1634/5 at Cambridge, Mass. He came in 1630 with the fleet, which brought Governor John Winthrop to New England. Edmund first settled at Watertown and then at New Towne (Cambridge) where he was called "Mr.," a title of respect. His request to be made freeman of the colony on 19 October 1630, was granted 18 May 1631. He was juryman 9 November 1630: was appointed constable at Cambridge in May 1632 and the same year he was one of two persons appointed to confer with the court about raising a public stock. (James Savage, 'Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, 1860-1862, reprint: Baltimore, 1965, 3:104-5, 170-71 & Charles H. Pope, 'Pioneers of Massachusetts,' 1900, reprint Baltimore, 1969, pp. 289 and 404). In 1635 his brother Sergeant Robert Lockwood was appointed executor for Edmund's estate and Children. (James Savage, 'Genealogical Dictionary of the First settlers of New England, 1860-1862, reprint: Baltimore, 1965, 3:104-5, 170-71 & Charles H. Pope, 'Pioneers of Massachusetts,' 1900,, reprint Baltimore, 1969, pp. 289 and 404).
Edmund 1/m. before 1625 in England, ___, an unknown wife, who perhaps d..shortly after her arrival in America. On 3 March 1634/5 the court asked the widow "Ruth" to bring in writings left by her husband, Edmund Lockwood. (James Savage, 'Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, 1860-1862, reprint: Baltimore, 1965, 3:104-5, 170-71). Other records show clearly that Edmund's widow was Elizabeth (Masters), whom he had m. at least three years previously (James Savage, 'Genealogical Dictionary of the First settlers of New England, 1860-1862, reprint: Baltimore, 1965, 3:104-5, 170-71 & Charles H. Pope, 'Pioneers of Massachusetts,' 1900, reprint Baltimore, 1969, pp. 289 and 404). Was Ruth in error for the name of the first wife? There is no proof of this theory, although some have made the assumption.
Edmund 2/m. before 1632 Elizabeth MASTERS. She was d/o John Masters of Watertown and Cambridge, who d. 21 December 1639 and by his will two days before his death named with others, his grandchild. John Lockwood and his daughter Elizabeth, wife of Cary Latham. Edmund's widow m. Mr. Latham and in 1646 moved to Newv London, Connecticut, taking her son John Lockwood with them. (James Savage, 'Genealogical Dictionary of the First settlers of New England, 1860-1862, reprint: Baltimore, 1965, 3:104-5, 170-71 & Charles H. Pope, 'Pioneers of Massachusetts,' 1900, reprint Baltimore, 1969, pp. 289 and 404 & Genevieve Lockwood Davis, 'Israel Lockwood, Some Ancestry and Descendants,' MS at Newberry Library, Chicago - Ohio Historical Society Library, Columbus - New York Genealogical and Biographical Society Library and elsewhere - includes much unpublished material furnished by Donald L. Jacobus). See Appendix 1, p.71.
The only known child of Edmund Lockwood and his first wife was:
i. Edmund Lockwood, b. about 1625 in England, m. 7 January at Stamford, Ct. Hannah SCOTT. Lack of mention of Edmund Lockwood, Jr. in the wiII of John Masters would indicate that Edmund, Jr. was by an earlier wife, reinforced by a court order 2 June 1635, after the death of Edmund Lockwood, Sr. to place out "elder children" (James Savage, 'Genealogical Dictionary of the First settlers of New England, 1860-1862, reprint: Baltimore, 1965, 3:104-5, 170-71 & Genevieve Lockwood Davis, 'Israel Lockwood, Some Ancestry and Descendants,' MS at Newberry Library, Chicago - Ohio Historical Society Library, Columbus - New York Genealogical and Biographical Society Library and elsewhere - includes much unpublished material furnished by Donald L. Jacobus).
There were undoubtedly one or two other children of Edmundl Lockwood by first wife, but apparently none survived, for only Edmund, Jr. claimed the estate of his half -brother, John, in 1683.
The only known child of Edmund and Elizabeth (Masters) Lockwood was:
ii. JohnLockwood, b. November 1632 at Cambridge, Mass. (Vital Records, town or civil records. For Connecticut the source most often consulted has been the Barbour Index of vital records in the Connecticut State Library and widely available elsewhere on microfilm). He went to New London, Ct. with his mother and stepfather, Cary Latham. On 20 July 1658 Cary Latham conveyed to his son-in-law (i. e. step-son) John Lockwood (New London deeds 3:63) (Genevieve Lockwood Davis, 'Israel Lockwood, Some Ancestry and Descendants,' MS at Newberry Library, Chicago - Ohio Historical Society Library, Columbus - New York Genealogical and Biographical Society Library and elsewhere - includes much unpublished material furnished by Donald L. Jacobus). John lived at Foxen's Hill in New London and d. in 1683, unmarried (Francis M. Caulkins, 'History of New London,' 1895, pp. 89 and 312). New London deeds 5:18 contains a record that Edmund Lockwood of Stamford was declared heir of the estate of his brother, John Lockwood of New London by the County Court 3 June 1684. There are also deeds from Edmund Lockwood of Stamford, conveying lands inherited from his brother, John (New London deeds 5:76, 102 (Genevieve Lockwood Davis, 'Israel Lockwood, Some Ancestry and Descendants,' MS at Newberry Library, Chicago - Ohio Historical Society Library, Columbus - New York Genealogical and Biographical Society Library and elsewhere - includes much unpublished material furnished by Donald L. Jacobus & Francis M. Caulkins, 'History of New London,' 1895, pp. 89 and 312). Edmund Lockwood was the sole heir."

"Nearly a century ago, in 1889, two misguided compilers, Frederic A. Holden and E. Dunbar Lockwood produced "Descendants of Robert Lockwood, Colonial and Revolutionary History of the Lockwood Family in America." Modern genealogists realize that nineteenth century family histories often contain errors, and this genealogy is among the most confused; but it continues to be used as a reliable source. In his "History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield," Donald Lines Jacobus put in order the early Lockwoods of that town. In 1978 this compiler undertook a similar task for Stamford Lockwoods with "Some Descendants of Edmund Lockwood (1594-1635) of Cambridge, Massachusetts and his son Edmund Lockwood (c.1625-1693) of Stamford." There remain the Lockwood founders of Norwalk and Greenwich with lines to be set straight.
The following account deals primarily with the descendants of Ephraim2, son of the immigrant brother Robert Lockwood. Ephraim was an original settler of Norwalk. There were a few hitherto unrecorded Lockwoods who may have emigrated from Norwalk, and others who moved to Norwalk from surrounding towns at an early date. They will be treated in appendices. References are abbreviated in the text, but full citations are listed at the end.
1. EDMUND LOCKWOOD, the progenitor in England, of Combs, co. Suffolk, married there 3 Sep. 1592 ALES COWPER (COOPER). The English antecedants of this couple are unknown. Their only known children, two sons, came to Massachusetts in 1630 with the Winthrop Fleet, [Banks, "The Winthrop Fleet," pp. 79, 80].

7. The periodical "Connecticut Ancestry," vol. 48, no. 2 (Nov. 2005), "Further Information Regarding the English Origins of the LOCKWOOD Family," by Scott Wesley Green , pp. 53-58:
"Introduction
In her book on the descendants of Edmund1 Lockwood, Harriet Woodburly Hodge repeated the long standing assertion that the immigrant brothers Edmund1 and Robert1 Lockwood had their origin in the town of Combs in County Suffolk, England.[1] In his "Great Migration" sketch of Edmund1 Lockwood, Robert Charles Anderson indicated that "further research is needed before this origin can be accepted".[2] In the December 2004 issue of this publication, Mr. Anderson reviewed the evidence and concluded "that the probability is very high that Edmund and Robert Lockwood were brothers and that they were the two children baptized at Combs, Suffolk."[3] His recently published "Great Migration" sketch of Robert1 Lockwood includes his baptism in Combs.[4] The purpose of the present article is to provide additional information on the English origins of the family. In particular the baptism record of Edmund2 Lockwood has been identified, and an additional generation has been added to the ancestral line. A consideration of other early connections based on the dual surname Lockwood alias Baker is also presented.
Combs Parish Transcripts Revisited
The 1638 will of the widow Alice Lockwood mentions her grandson Joseph Sowgate, but no other Sowgates.[5] This suggests that she had a daughter who married a Sowgate, and that this daughter was likely deceased. A review of the available parish transcripts for Combs yields 5 entries of relevance:[6]
baptism 8 Sept. 1629 of Mary, daughter of Joseph Sowgate
baptism 7 April 1631 of Joseph, son of Joseph Sowgate
burial 25 April 1631 of Joseph, son of Joseph Sowgate
baptism 19 Feb. 1631 [/32] of Joseph, son of Joseph Sowgate
burial 13 Jan. 1632[/33] of Barbara, wife of Joseph Sowgate
There was no other baptism in Combs for a Joseph Sowgate that would fit as Alice Lockwood's grandson. This leads to the conclusion that EdmundA and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood had a previously unidentified daughter Barbara. A closer examination of the parish transcripts yields the following suggestive record:[']
baptism 31 July 1603 of Barbara, daughter of "Edm." Lock
Could this be a daughter of EdmundA Lockwood, with the surname abbreviated? Note that it fits conveniently between known baptisms for his son Robert on 18 Jan. 1600/01 and his daughter Alice on 14 April 1605. There were only two other baptisms listed from 1568-1655 for children with surname given as Lock(e): [8]
31 July 1625 - Martha, daughter of Edw. Locke
30 August 1627 - Edm., son of Edm. Locke
The second of these would fit perfectly with what is known of Edmund2 Lockwood, who came to New England with his father Edmund1 (whose earlier son of that name had been buried 20 December 1625). The first could easily be a daughter of the Edward Lockwood who had later children baptized in Combs, beginning with son Edward on 29 April 1627. Thus it seems likely that the surname was abbreviated in all three cases. As Mr. Anderson pointed out, the original parish registers of Combs are not readily available, and the 19th-century handwritten transcription referenced here consistently uses abbreviations for given names, such as "Edw." and "Edm." Though it seems unlikely, it is possible that "Lock" for Lockwood is an abbreviation by this transcriber, rather than in the original record.
Two further records shed some additional light on EdmundA and Alice (Cowper) Lockwood's daughter Dorothy, whose married name was given in Alice's will as Manwood:[9]
baptism 12 July 1635 of John, son of John Manwood of Ipswich and Doro.
burial 21 August 1636 of John, son of John Manwood of Ipswich
EdwardB Lockwood alias Baker
The father of EdmundA Lockwood is seen to be EdwardB Lockwood from the following will dated 7 December 1603 and proved 13 April 1604:[10]
"In the name of God amen the viith day of December in the xlvth yeare of the reigne of or Soveigne Lathe Elizabeth by the grace of God of England, France & Ireland Queene defender of the Faith.

Edward Lockwood alias Baker appears on the 1568 Suffolk subsidy list (a tax list) in Stowe Hundred, town of Combes Cum Finbarow Parva (i.e. Combs with Little Finborough). Taxed on 5 Pounds in Goods; tax was 4 shillings and 2 pence.[11] His son John could be the John Baker alias Lockwoode baptized in Combs on 9 March 1571/72 (the father's name is blank). Mary, daughter of Edw. Baker alias Lockwoode was baptized in Combs 30 June 1577. She was buried there as daughter of Edw. Lockwood on 2 March 1590/91. Joan, wife of Edw. Lockwood, was buried in Combs 24 January 1591/92. Finally Edw. Lockwoode, widower, was buried in Combs 15 April 1604.[12]
Lockwood alias Baker antecedents
The origin of the alias surname is unclear. The 1568 Suffolk subsidy list shows only one other person with this dual surname -- Rychard Lockwoode alias Baker, who was taxed 2 shillings and 8 pence on 2 pounds in lands in Combes Cum Finbarow Parva.[13] Richard Lockwood had children baptized in Combs over the period 1570-1588, with surname given variously as Lockwood(e), Lockwood(e) alias Baker, Baker alias Lockwood(e) and possibly once as Baker. The last use of the dual surname was in 1582.[14]
The index to Suffolk and Sudbury wills leads to the following three wills involving the dual surname. Unfortunately there is probably a generation missing between these and Edward Lockwood alias Baker of Combs.
1. Will of John Lo[c]kwood otherwise Baker the elder of Wethertingisett, yeoman. Dated 13 February 1555 and proved 20 December 1555. Mentions sons Henry and John, sister Catherine, and Thom[a]s Stanhard and Nycholas Blomfyeld.[15]
2. Will of Frances Lo[c]kwood al[ia]s Baker of Devynhm (i.e. Debenham). Dated 30 December 1554 and proved 28 December 1555. Left money to the poor of Mendlesham. Left wife Johan tenement in Mendlesham that had been his father's for her life, and also meadow land in Brockford. After his wife's death the land is to be sold, with a hierarchy of people to be given the opportunity to purchase the lands before anyone else:
his brother George Lockwoode 1st
Rycharde Lockwoode 2nd
Thom[a]s Lockwoode 3r
John Lockwoode 4th
The relationship of the latter three to Frances is not stated. Also mentioned in the will are his daughters Mary, Elyzabeth and Margaret and his brother-in-law Edward Shepperd.[16]
3. Will of Johan Lockwood al[ia]s Baker of Devynhm, widow. Dated 29 June 1554 and proved 28 December 1555. Mentions daughters Margaret, Mary and Elyzabeth, brother-in-laws George Lockwood and Rychard Lockwood, sisters's child Sara Lockwood, brother Edward Shepperd and kinsman Wyllem Shepperd.[17]
The available parish transcripts for Mendlesham show the following entries for the Lockwood alias Baker sumame.[18]
marriage 9 June 1576 - Chas. Goddard of Mickfield and Alice Lockwood als. Baker
marriage 19 July 1579 - Simon Sheldrake and Judith Lockwood als. Baker
marriage 6 July 1580 - Jn. Lockwood als. Baker wid. and Itian Hill wid.
burial 9 August 1579 - Jn. Lockwod als. Baker, s. of Jn.
burial 11 October 1579 - Cicely Lockwod, w. of Jn. als. Baker
There were no baptisms with the dual surname.
The 1524 Suffolk subsidy list shows no one with the dual surname.[19] Perhaps the dual surname relates to the property mentioned in the will of Frances Lockwood above.

165 BIOGRAPHY:
1. Copy of original letter in Danish in my possession. I was able to have the FHL Danish experts in SLC roughly translate the letter. Unfortunately the text is insignificant but the historical time frame of the letter is memorable. It starts off with: "To my dear sister Else Marie Andersdatter on her 70th birthday, 24 Apr 1865" and is signed "Your loving sister, Ane Kjerstine Andersdatter, Røjkjær." The text is a poem not easily translatable with each stanza giving an example of a witness to "God's goodness" i.e. "Flowers and birds witness to God's goodness." The last paragraph after the poem becomes personal with the comment: "Dear Sister, by friend you are as gold in light and need let us strive in live to remember to follow til our deaths ... shout always my good God."

1. Died from suicide during old age. Jumped out of a window in the 1980s; he had told his daughter-in-law and his only granddaughter to go shopping before. Irene had visited with him 1976 and had done a lot of walking around Moscow. Before committing suicide, he had prewrote a note to Irene. He spoke and wrote french fluently because of his mother.

2. "Was student in prison, escaped to Siberia, swapped passport," Marie Vavchenko.

3. The following undated paper was written late 1969 in Nice, France by Catherine Werblovsky Olympieff (also known as Ekaterina Werblovskaya Olympieva) at the request of Patrick Landau through his aunt Alice Nikitina. Patrick's father, Vladimir Landau, even though he was Catherine's cousin, had less knowledge on the family then Catherine. Catherine was the granddaughter of Edouard and Rebecca Herzenberg. The letter was written a couple of years before Catherine's death after she entered into an assisted care facility in Nice. The paper was recently found among personal items previously gathered about 1969 by her daughter Irene Nadia de Lanskoy Petersen. Portions of the letter were written in three languages: English, French, and Russian. Irene, in transcribing the letter, notes that the letter was hard to follow and to make sense of. Irene's transcription dated 31 Jul 2007 with her notes added in [ ].
"What concerns the father and mother of our mother's: Mother's father: Edouard Ocipovitch Herzenberg [or Gerzenberg] Edward son of Joseph Herzenberg born: in Mitava [or Mittau] not far ___, Baltic Provinces - not far from Riga. He died at 76 years of age (had diabetes and malaria) from lung congestion after flu. His wife was his cousin.
Rebecca Herzenberg also married a first cousin. I am not sure of the name of her father; she died in Moscow when I was 6 years old (70 years ago). [Death would be approximately 1899?]
They were probably married in Mitawa and came to Moscow young, because all their children were born in Moscow. The eldest 1) Elizabeth 2) Sonja [or Sonia] (Sofia) mother of Manja or Mania who now lives in Moscow, who had a sister Nadja or Nadia who was born in Moscow. Sonia's husband was Adolf Schneider - son of Aaron Schneider - who had 3 more sons: Nicolas, Alexander, Serge and a daughter Elizabeth Schneider. She got married with Martin Behr (English nationality); they had two children and lived in Moscow. Mrs. Elizabeth Behr died in London (after the Russian Revolution she lived in France, later in England.) Her brother Adolf Schneider was a brother-in-law of our mother's of course.) [This is a repeat of the above.] The Behrs had 2 children. Elisabeth Behr died in London (probably her husband Martin Behr died before.) Mrs. Behr's daughter Olga died in London about a year ago [1968-69?], her brother George Behr still lives in London is married (has 1 daughter who is married too and has 2 boys, 8 and 7.
So my mother Elisabeth was the eldest daughter of Edward and Rebecca Herzenberg born in Moscow like her sister Sonia, the next sister Flora born in Moscow. Flora, married Joseph Offenbacher, had one son Lotar (my first cousin as well as yours). She, her husband, and son died in Germany during the war of Hitler (son Lothar). [Irene notes that another family account says that Lothar committed suicide on account of the war.] [His father] Joseph Offenbacher had an older brother Vasily [William or Wilhelm] Offenbacher who married a cousin of our mother's - Fanny, daughter of Abra[ha]m (whom all children of Edward Herzenberg used to call Uncle Abraham.) He was the husband of Grandfather Edward Herzenberg's sister Theresa. His family name was also like all: Herzenberg. Theresa Herzenberg had many children - daughter Fanny, sons Ludwig, Harry, and 2 other sons and another daughter Sophia married to another Herzenberg (all those marriages were between cousins) who had three children, Robby (Robert) who lives in Sweden and 2 daughters Clara and Roberta (died in Riga - Bolshevik Revolution). [I am not sure if Clara and Roberta are correct for this family grouping.] After Flora Herzenberg, the 4th daughter was my Aunt Anjuta [Anna Herzenberg-Landau]. Then there was another one Genga (Eugenie) married Harry Taube from Riga - were killed by Hitler's army. She was the 5th daughter of Edward Herzenberg. The 6th was Lilja [Lilia] (1st wife of Uncle Max Landau - died in Davos, Switzerland from TB.) Then was another daughter Milja, died very young (she was the 7th daughter). The youngest daughter Tonya [Tonia] died in Moscow. Then there were two brothers, the oldest Ivan (John) married a French young girl from Mussidan, Dordogne, France. She was daughter of the Mayor of that town. Died in the north of Russia where - she was sent sick and was sent with her to Mourmansk (north of Russia). Uncle Vanja's [Vania, Ivan, John all same name wife Lydia died there [note her maiden name was Lydie Buisson]. Uncle Vanja died too in Bolshevik Revolution. Their 3 children: Micha (Michel) died probably in Moscow; his brother Andrei (Andre) Herzenberg and Suzanne Hindzee (Herzenberg) - 1st husband (French) Volant. She has a daughter in Toronto married in Toronto (Alja [or Alice Nikitina] knew her) who has two children, boy and girl. The father's family name is A. [Albert?] Statter - wife Lydie (Suzanne's daughter) - son Albert. [Irene's note: last known address was 33 Stonegate Road, Toronto, Canada, M8Y-1V8; phone 416-251-6295.]
There was yet other families related to us through our mother's. It was a well known dentist. His name was Kovarsky. His wife was the cousin of our mother's. They had a lot of children - 3 brothers Misha (Michael), Leva (Leon), 2 daughters Choura (Alexandra). Chura who now is same age as Suzanne [Herzenberg Hindzee] - the only one alive. I forget the name of the eldest brother deceased. Manja (Mania) in Moscow knows more about that family. What was the name of the mother cousin of our mother's-probably it was yet another of the Herzenberg family. As Alja [Alice Nikitina] will be going to Moscow she will be able to find out more form Manja [Mania]. Then there was yet another family related to the wife of our grandfather through the husband or wife Idelson. There was a girl Lisa Idelson and her brother. I think that Manja must know something about them. They lived in Moscow. I used to go see them with my mother when I was about 8 or 10 years old.
Now George Behr has written from London thanking me for my sympathy condolences on account of the death of his sister Olga Behr. She must have been older than 78 years. he thought that his aunt on his father's side, Nina Karlovna died in Moscow, as well as his cousin Leija, but I think it is relatives on the side of his father Bahr, and the cousin is perhaps of the Schneider family (it is possible that the cousin is still living). All these people lived in Moscow.
Now what concerns the Packschwer family. The one that came to see you with the Vietnamese wife has passed away. His name was Julien Packschwer born in Vitebesk, Russia. He was 72. His younger brother Saveijn (Sahva) engineer in London named himself Packshaw, died in England 3 weeks before Julien, leaving a widow (2nd marriage) and 2 children. It was the death of his younger brother that caused reaction on Julien Packshwer. He died 3 weeks after him. He was found on a street in Nice, France with a cerebral hemorrhage-fell in the street. Police took him to the hospital St. Rock where he died at 19 hours in the evening and remained in a coma. His car 2 CV (small) stayed in the parking where he had left it. It was only his Vietnamese wife [Mado] returning from Saigon 1 month after his death that was able to retrieve that car from the parking. Yet another day or two, it would have been impounded. But as it was the widow herself then came. They did not charge her anything. But as the car was her husband's-she has to wait by inheritance law to be able to sell it and divide up in 4 parts to his children. The eldest son of another marriage Leon is an eye doctor in Paris, then 3 other children. Oldest Robert in Montreal, CA; another son in ___ was in the navy for 3 years. The oldest was in the Air force, married a girl from Morocco - they are going to have a child soon. The daughter Irene married, has a little boy, the husband is serving in the military; they live in Cayrons near Vence, France in the Packshwer house. The widow/mother Mado inherited ¼ of the sum, the children ¾ divided in 4 for each of the 4 children. Through a real estate in Vence, Julien's house of 1000 sq. meters is worth 18 million francs. If the children keep the house, they will in turn need to give on fourth of the cost to the widow who also has the right to half of his monthly pension of 30,000 francs. She came to see me day before yesterday and told me all these details. So here you have it-the relatives. The mother of the Packshwer father was 1st cousin of our mother's through the daughter of the sister of our grandfather Edward Herzenberg maiden name Theresa Herzenberg died in Nice, born I think in Mitawa [Mitau], Baltic Provinces. She was buried with her husband in Nice at the Caucade cemetery.
Now I add what George Behr wrote from London that his wife Janet has seen Aunt Anjuta [Anna Herzenberg] in Monte Carlo, then he wrote about his cousin in Moscow who he thinks has passed away (he is going to find out about it from Manja-he asked their address in Monaco). She was the daughter of the oldest sister Polina Aronovna of his mother. Here is what concerns that family... [Balance of letter missing]."

MARRIAGE:
1. Per Vestervig parish records, 1912 - 1922, p. 276; Viewed by Kerry Petersen at parish office 10 Apr 1999. Record mentions: "Son of (parents' names), living in Taabel, and Maren, hired servant, also living in Taabel." Taabel is a very small community just west of Agger and east of Vestervig. Even though her home parish is Lyngs, the wedding was performed in Vestervig. He was 44 and she was 37 at time of marriage. No children of marriage (confirmed 8 Apr 1999 by Kerry Petersen with neighbor still residing next door to their old home in Krik).

DEATH:
1. Per Vestervig parish records, 1955 - Current, p 258; viewed by Kerry Petersen at parish office 10 Apr 1999. Tombstone removed from Vestervig parish churchyard 20 Jan 1999 due to no living relatives making payments for annual upkeep. Kerry Petersen able to see tombstone in scrap pile in workyard on 8 Apr 1999 with photo now on file. Inscription reads: "Mikkel Christian Christensen, born 14 Mar 1872, died 20 Jan 1959: Maren Christensen, born 16 Mar 1879, died 6 Sep 1947".

BURIAL:
1. Tombstone removed from Vestervig parish churchyard 20 Jan 1999 due to no living relatives making payments for annual upkeep. Mikkel had no descendants. The normal term of payment was for 20 years, but Mikkel himself made arrangements for two consecutive terms to make a total of 40 years. The sexton said that he had never seen such a thing done. Upon the second term expiring, the tombstone was removed and sent over to the Vestervig public works yard where the tombstone was put into a scrap pile to be ground up for road paving material. The grave site is then reused with another body buried above the earlier burial with a new tombstone for the latest arrival. Kerry Petersen, an American descendant of his Mikkel's aunt who emigrated to Utah in the 19th century, was able to make a trip to Denmark to research. The existence of this individual was suspected and even a name was partially remembered by some of the local old-timers, but there was no further information or vital data on him. Upon visiting the sexton at the graveyard, he said that such a person sounded familiar but he could not subsequently find him in either the computerized files nor the older handwritten index of the Church's burial. The sexton did however indicate that the name sounded very familiar to him. Suddenly he remembered where he thought he had seen the name. Even though it was now after hours due to the time-consuming search of the burial records, he had Kerry follow him be car to the other side of the village to the scrap pile in work yard. Together they overturned one among many such tombstones. It was the first one they came to; being large, it required both to turn it right side up. This was on 8 Apr 1999. The tombstones were scheduled to be crushed during the next work week in preparation for the beginning of the road repair season. A photo is on file with Kerry Petersen. The tombstone has all the information Kerry was seeking plus an unknown wife. Inscription read: "Mikkel Christian Christensen, born 14 Mar 1872, died 20 Jan 1959: Maren Christensen, born 16 Mar 1879, died 6 Sep 1947." Their names were presented to the Salt Lake LDS Temple in Aug. 1999. 		Kristensen, Mikkel Kristian (I1057)

176 BIOGRAPHY:
1. FHL book 929.273 B233bd, "The Connecticut Barbers, A Genealogy of the Descendants of Thomas Barber of Windsor, Connecticut," 2nd Ed., Donald S. Barber: "The English Family of Thomas Barber. This section is based on my original 1996 entry in The American Genealogist, v. 71, no. 2, p. 111. It has long been known that Thomas Barber, with several others, was apprenticed to Francis Stiles, who was paid to bring them to Windsor, CT. Francis Stiles was a carpenter and London freeman, so it seemed reasonable to search in the appropriate guild records in London. The following entry was found in the records of the Worshipful Company of Carpenters at the Guildhall, in the minutes of a meeting held on 18 Dec 1634: 'Received of Francis Stiles for apprenticing Thomas Barber son of John Barber of Stamford in the County of Lincoln, yeoman, deceased, from St. Thomas's day next for 9 years. 2s 2 d (2 shillings, 2 pence)." In the parish registers in Stamford and the adjacent parish of Uffington is the following:
A. St. George Parish, Stamford, Lincoln County:
a. Rebecca, dau. of John Barber, labourer, bapt. 17 Apr 1609.
b. Rebecca, dau. of John Barber, bur. 6 Aug 1609.
c. Sara, dau. of John Barber, labourer, bapt. 16 Sep 1610.
d. Thomas, son of John and Elizabeth Barber, bapt. 25 Dec 1612.
B. All Saints Parish, Stamford:
a. Elizabeth Lumley, dau. of Thomas Lumley, bapt. 4 Aug 1597 (how related?).
b. Elizabeth, dau. of John Barber, bapt. 10 or 11 Nov 1616.
c. John, son of John Barber, bapt. 4 Aug 1620.
d. John Barber, bur. 21 Apr 1620.
e. Elizabeth Barber, widow, bur. 8 Mar 1632.
f. John Barber, son of Widow Barber, bur. 22 Mar 1632.
C. Uffington Parish, Lincoln County:
a. Elizabeth Barber, m. William Fowler, 8 Jun 1590 (? related).
b. Margaret Barber, m. John Preeste, 2 Oct 1607 (? a sister of John the father).
c. John Barber, m. Elizabeth Lumley, 17 Oct 1608.
From the above records the English family of Thomas Barber appears to be as follows: John Barber, b. probably in the early to middle 1580s; buried at All Saints, Stamford, Lincoln County, 21 Apr 1620, md. Uffington, Lincoln County, 17 Oct 1608, Elizabeth Lumley, who was buried at All Saints, Stamford on 9 Mar 1632/3. John is called a labourer in 1609, and a yeoman later. Yeomen were small land owners, a step up from labourers, but below gentry. John and Elizabeth lived first in St. George Parish, Stamford, Lincoln County, which is the part of Stamford adjacent to Uffington, and later in All Saints Parish on the other side of Stamford. Stamford is about 80 miles north of London. Children of John and Elizabeth, bapt. in Stamford:
a. Rebecca, bapt. St. George Parish 17 Apr 1609; bur. there 6 Aug 1609.
b. Sarah, bapt. St. George Parish, 16 Sep 1610.
c. Thomas, bapt. St. George Parish 25 Dec 1612; died in Windsor, Connecticut, 11 Sep 1662.
d. Elizabeth, bapt. All Saints Parish 10 or 11 Nov 1616.
e. John, bapt. All Saints Parish 4 Aug 1620; bur. there 22 Mar 1632/3.
It seems likely that Thomas Barber was born 21 Dec 1612, which is St. Thomas' Day, and bapt. 4 days later. He was still 21 old on the date of his apprenticeship (18 Dec 1634) and this figure (21) was perhaps mistakenly carried over by Francis Stiles when reporting it less that 3 months later for the shipping list of 16 mar 1634/5 by which time Thomas was 22 years old. The Elizabeth Lumley who was baptized in 1597, dau. of Thomas Lumley, is probably not the same person who married John Barber, since her baptism was only 9 years before the marriage, and baptisms at that time almost always took place soon after birth. No other Lumleys were found in Stamford or Uffington. I notice that John Barber [the son] was born 3 months after his father John died."

2. FHL book 929.273 B695bo "Ancestral Lines, Third Edition," compiled by Carl Boyer, 3rd [Santa Clarita, CA; 1998], p. 735:

He married in Uffington, Lincs., 17 Oct. 1608 Elizabeth Lumley, who was buried at All Saints 8 March 1632/3. He was called a "labourer" in the baptismal record of his daughter Elizabeth in 1616, and a yeoman in the guild record of 1634. No relevant probate records were found in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury or the Consistory Court of Lincoln. Children, listed by Donald S. Barber, baptized in parishes of Stamford, Lincs.:

iv. Elizabeth, bapt. All Saints 10/11 Nov. 1616.
v. John, bapt. All Saints 4 Aug. 1620; bur. there 22 March 1632/3."

3. The periodical "The American Genealogist," 71[1996]:111-12, "The English Origin of Thomas1 Barber of Windsor, Connecticut," by Donald S. Barber:
"It has long been known that Thomas1 Barber, with several others, was apprenticed to Francis Stiles, who was paid by Sir Richard Saltonstall to bring them to Windsor to build houses for those who would come from England later.[1] They were on the 16 March 1634/5 shipping list for the "Chrystian" of London,[2] which arrived in Boston on 16 June; the party reached Windsor about 1 July 1635. The shipping list gives Thomas's age as 21. Further details about Thomas1 Barber and his family are given in my book, "The Connecticut Barbers,"[3] published in 1992, before I became aware of his English origin.
Francis Stiles was a carpenter and London freeman, so it seemed reasonable to search the appropriate guild records in London. Frances Markham, a London researcher, recently found the following entry for me in the records of the Worshipful Company of Carpenters at the Guildhall. The entry is part of the minutes for a meeting held on 18 December 1634:[4]
"Received of Francis Stiles for apprenticing Thomas Barber, son of John Barber of Stamford in the County of Lincoln, yeoman, deceased, from St. Thomas's day next for 9 years. 2s 2d."
This led to the International Genealogical Index [IGI] for Lincolnshire and then to the appropriate parish registers in Stamford and to the Bishops' Transcripts for the adjacent parish of Uffington:
St. George, Stamford, co. Lincoln:[5]
Rebecca, dau. of John Barber, bp. 17 April 1609.

SUMMARY
JOHNA BARBER was born probably in the early or middle 1580s and was buried at All Saints, Stamford, county Lincoln, on 21 April 1620. He married at Uffington, county Lincoln, on 17 October 1608, ELIZABETH LUMLEY. She was buried at All Saints, Stamford, on 8 March 1632[/3]. He was called a "labourer" in the baptism of his daughter Sarah.
Children of JohnA and Elizabeth (Lumley) Barber:
i REBECCA BARBER, bp. St. George, Stamford, co. Lincoln, 17 April 1609, bur. there, 6 Aug. 1609.
ii SARAH BARBER. bp. St. George, 16 Sept. 1610.
iii THOMAS1 BARBER, bp. St. George, 25 Dec. 1612, d. Windsor, Conn., 11 Sept. 1662;[8] m. Windsor, 7 Oct. 1640, JANE ___,[9] who d. Windsor, 10 Sept. 1662.[10] [St. Thomas Day is 21 December, and that may be the day of his birth and the source of his name, as well as the day on which his apprenticeship began.]
iv ELIZABETH BARBER, bp. All Saints, Stamford, 10 or 11 Nov. 1616.
v JOHN BARBER, bp. Alt Saints, 4 Aug, 1620, bur. there, 22 March 1632[/3].
No relevant probates were found in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury or the Consistory Court of Lincoln.
More research in records in the Stamford area (including nearby sections of Rutland and Northamptonshire) might be helpful in showing the origin of JohnA Barber and of his wife Elizabeth Lumley.
I am grateful to Frances Markham for finding the key entry in the records of the Carpenters' Company in London, and to Dr. Neil D. Thompson, CG, FASG, for checking my readings of the pariah registers, for confirming the IGI entries for Uffington in the Bishops' Transcripts, and for searching for relevant probates."

No relevant probates were found in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury or the Consistory Court of Lincoln.
More research in records in the Stamford area (including nearby sections of Rutland and Northamptonshire) might be helpful in showing the origin of JohnA Barber and of his wife Elizabeth Lumley.
I am grateful to Frances Markham for finding the key entry in the records of the Carpenters' Company in London, and to Dr. Neil D. Thompson, CG, FASG, for checking my readings of the pariah registers, for confirming the IGI entries for Uffington in the Bishops' Transcripts, and for searching for relevant probates."

178 BIOGRAPHY:
1. FHL book 929.273 B233bd, "The Connecticut Barbers, A Genealogy of the Descendants of Thomas Barber of Windsor, Connecticut," 2nd Ed., Donald S. Barber: "The English Family of Thomas Barber. This section is based on my original 1996 entry in The American Genealogist, v. 71, no. 2, p. 111. It has long been known that Thomas Barber, with several others, was apprenticed to Francis Stiles, who was paid to bring them to Windsor, CT. Francis Stiles was a carpenter and London freeman, so it seemed reasonable to search in the appropriate guild records in London. The following entry was found in the records of the Worshipful Company of Carpenters at the Guildhall, in the minutes of a meeting held on 18 Dec 1634: 'Received of Francis Stiles for apprenticing Thomas Barber son of John Barber of Stamford in the County of Lincoln, yeoman, deceased, from St. Thomas's day next for 9 years. 2s 2 d (2 shillings, 2 pence)." In the parish registers in Stamford and the adjacent parish of Uffington is the following:
A. St. George Parish, Stamford, Lincoln County:
a. Rebecca, dau. of John Barber, labourer, bapt. 17 Apr 1609.
b. Rebecca, dau. of John Barber, bur. 6 Aug 1609.
c. Sara, dau. of John Barber, labourer, bapt. 16 Sep 1610.
d. Thomas, son of John and Elizabeth Barber, bapt. 25 Dec 1612.
B. All Saints Parish, Stamford:
a. Elizabeth Lumley, dau. of Thomas Lumley, bapt. 4 Aug 1597 (how related?).
b. Elizabeth, dau. of John Barber, bapt. 10 or 11 Nov 1616.
c. John, son of John Barber, bapt. 4 Aug 1620.
d. John Barber, bur. 21 Apr 1620.
e. Elizabeth Barber, widow, bur. 8 Mar 1632.
f. John Barber, son of Widow Barber, bur. 22 Mar 1632.
C. Uffington Parish, Lincoln County:
a. Elizabeth Barber, m. William Fowler, 8 Jun 1590 (? related).
b. Margaret Barber, m. John Preeste, 2 Oct 1607 (? a sister of John the father).
c. John Barber, m. Elizabeth Lumley, 17 Oct 1608.
From the above records the English family of Thomas Barber appears to be as follows: John Barber, b. probably in the early to middle 1580s; buried at All Saints, Stamford, Lincoln County, 21 Apr 1620, md. Uffington, Lincoln County, 17 Oct 1608, Elizabeth Lumley, who was buried at All Saints, Stamford on 9 Mar 1632/3. John is called a labourer in 1609, and a yeoman later. Yeomen were small land owners, a step up from labourers, but below gentry. John and Elizabeth lived first in St. George Parish, Stamford, Lincoln County, which is the part of Stamford adjacent to Uffington, and later in All Saints Parish on the other side of Stamford. Stamford is about 80 miles north of London. Children of John and Elizabeth, bapt. in Stamford:
a. Rebecca, bapt. St. George Parish 17 Apr 1609; bur. there 6 Aug 1609.
b. Sarah, bapt. St. George Parish, 16 Sep 1610.
c. Thomas, bapt. St. George Parish 25 Dec 1612; died in Windsor, Connecticut, 11 Sep 1662.
d. Elizabeth, bapt. All Saints Parish 10 or 11 Nov 1616.
e. John, bapt. All Saints Parish 4 Aug 1620; bur. there 22 Mar 1632/3.
It seems likely that Thomas Barber was born 21 Dec 1612, which is St. Thomas' Day, and bapt. 4 days later. He was still 21 old on the date of his apprenticeship (18 Dec 1634) and this figure (21) was perhaps mistakenly carried over by Francis Stiles when reporting it less that 3 months later for the shipping list of 16 mar 1634/5 by which time Thomas was 22 years old. The Elizabeth Lumley who was baptized in 1597, dau. of Thomas Lumley, is probably not the same person who married John Barber, since her baptism was only 9 years before the marriage, and baptisms at that time almost always took place soon after birth. No other Lumleys were found in Stamford or Uffington. I notice that John Barber [the son] was born 3 months after his father John died."

2. FHL book 929.273 B695bo "Ancestral Lines, Third Edition," compiled by Carl Boyer, 3rd [Santa Clarita, CA; 1998], p. 735:
"JohnA Barber, probably born in the early or middle 1580s, was buried at all Saints, Stamford, Lincolnshire, England, 21 April 1620. He married in Uffington, Lincs., 17 Oct. 1608 Elizabeth Lumley, who was buried at All Saints 8 March 1632/3. He was called a "labourer" in the baptismal record of his daughter Elizabeth in 1616, and a yeoman in the guild record of 1634. No relevant probate records were found in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury or the Consistory Court of Lincoln. Children, listed by Donald S. Barber, baptized in parishes of Stamford, Lincs.:
i. Rebecca1, bapt. St. George 17 April 1609; bur. there 6 Aug. 1609.
ii. Sarah, bapt. St. George 16 Sept. 1610.
iii. Thomas, bapt. St. George 25 Dec. 1612; d. Windsor, Conn., 11 Sept. 1662; m. Windsor 7 Oct. 1640 Jane, who d. Windsor 10 Sept. 1662.
iv. Elizabeth, bapt. All Saints 10/11 Nov. 1616.
v. John, bapt. All Saints 4 Aug. 1620; bur. there 22 March 1632/3."

3. The periodical "The American Genealogist," 71[1996]:111-12, "The English Origin of Thomas1 Barber of Windsor, Connecticut," by Donald S. Barber:
"It has long been known that Thomas1 Barber, with several others, was apprenticed to Francis Stiles, who was paid by Sir Richard Saltonstall to bring them to Windsor to build houses for those who would come from England later.[1] They were on the 16 March 1634/5 shipping list for the "Chrystian" of London,[2] which arrived in Boston on 16 June; the party reached Windsor about 1 July 1635. The shipping list gives Thomas's age as 21. Further details about Thomas1 Barber and his family are given in my book, "The Connecticut Barbers,"[3] published in 1992, before I became aware of his English origin.
Francis Stiles was a carpenter and London freeman, so it seemed reasonable to search the appropriate guild records in London. Frances Markham, a London researcher, recently found the following entry for me in the records of the Worshipful Company of Carpenters at the Guildhall. The entry is part of the minutes for a meeting held on 18 December 1634:[4]
"Received of Francis Stiles for apprenticing Thomas Barber, son of John Barber of Stamford in the County of Lincoln, yeoman, deceased, from St. Thomas's day next for 9 years. 2s 2d."
This led to the International Genealogical Index [IGI] for Lincolnshire and then to the appropriate parish registers in Stamford and to the Bishops' Transcripts for the adjacent parish of Uffington:
St. George, Stamford, co. Lincoln:[5]
Rebecca, dau. of John Barber, bp. 17 April 1609.

179 BIOGRAPHY:
1. FHL book 929.273 EL54ejg "John Jacob Eller and His Descendants with Other Pre-1800 Eller Immigrants to America...," by J. Gerald Eller, Edward K. Eller, and Janine Eller Porter (The Eller Family Association, 1998), pp. 22-27; the following is a partial excerpt from the full transcript which I place in the notes of George Michael Eller:
"George Michael Eller.
Many gaps in our knowledge of the genealogy of descendants of George Michael Eller are revealed in Table VI. Until new information was reported in the Eller Chronicles, the published genealogy of this immigrant and his descendants came exclusively from Hook (1925, 1955, 1957, 1957A). His genealogies were limited largely to descendants of four sons: Peter, Leonard, Jacob, and George. His listing of Jacob, as a son (1957, pp 53-63), has been questioned; this point is discussed further in chapters 8 and 10. Other researchers have now contributed extensively to the genealogy of this line, as shown in the bibliography at the end of the chapter. As can be seen in Table VI, little is known of the descendants of the daughters of immigrant George Michael Eller.
Table VI
George Michael Eller married (1st)? (2nd)? (3rd) Eva Maria. Frederick County, Maryland. Their children and grandchildren:
1. Peter, married Elizabeth Dick, children John, Catherine, Peter Jr., Elizabeth, unnamed daughter, Jacob, Mary, Henry, George.
2. Elizabeth married Heinrich Reb. Nothing more is known
3. Leonard married Elizabeth Mast, children: Adam, Elizabeth, John, Joseph, Sarah, Mary Lucinda, Jacob, Henry, George.
4. Jacob. No other known record unless he was the Jacob Eller of Chapter 8.
5. George died in Davidson County, North Carolina, before 1841; his wife was Susanna. Children: George Jr., Henry, David.
6. John married Catherine Fight (Fort)? Nothing more is known.
7. Eve. Nothing more is known.
8. Catherine married Peter Lehman? Nothing more is known. (From Hook, 1957, pp. 15-16).
9. Maria (Mary) married Jacob Eller; Children: Cloah (Chloe) "Glory" Eller. (Troutman and File. EC, XI:1, Sp. Ed., Feb. 1997)..."

2. The book "The Howard Leytham Stoker Von Dollen Family Histories," FHL 929.273 H833a, by Doris Lewis, 2017 So. 80th Ave., Omaha, Nebraska, 68124, p. 88 [FHL book 929.273 P684pn:
"Graybill/Stoker/Eller/Smith/Koons/Pitt Connections," by Norman E. 'Gene' Pitt, 1996, pp. 119-123, has almost the same verbatim except what I note in brackets]: "...James Hook wrote a history of 'George Michael Eller and His Descendants in America.' Much of the information I have on the Ellers come from this book or a book by Judge Johnson J. Hayes, called 'The Land of Wilkes,' a history of Wilkes County in North Carolina. In the ninth century Alamans, Teutons of Jutland, moved into Westallgan as early settlers. One group, called Ellers, started at the foot of Hirshberg in the Algauer Alp area near Bregenz, on Lake Constance. [They may have stayed in this general area for 600 years. This is the same area of the Palatinate that the Graybill religious refugees from Switzerland had fled and the same time frame. So the Ellers and Graybills may have known each other as neighbors or fellow churchmen.] Alta March, of Herman, Nebraska, has an Eller genealogy based in Germany, which probably connects with our family. In this record a Bartl and Barbara Swartz Eller had three children, Joseph, George and George Michael, the latter thought born in Baden, Sept. 5, 1695 and emigrated to America. He could well have been the father of our George Michael Eller, for he was a bit old to start his family in 1748. [The American Ellers apparently came from the Palatinate of Germany in the first half of the 18th century. The Pennsylvania Archives, 2nd Series, Vol 17, records the arrival of 13 Eller families who took the oath of allegiance between 30 Sep 1740 and 3 Nov 1772.] A Geo. Eller [age 20] emigrated on the ship 'St. Andrew,' and took his oath in Pennsylvania on Oct. 7, 1743 and [a George Michael Eller, apparently this same George Eller,] bought land he called 'Hammond Strife,' in Frederick County, Maryland. A Michael Eller aboard the ship Phoenix, took oath on September 30, 1743, and was on the tax list of Rowan Co. in N.C. in 1759. George Michael Eller, our ancestor, who may be the son or one of the above, was in Rowan County with Jacob, Christian and Melchoir Eller [Pitt book does not say location of the above three Ellers] at that same time and may have been there for a number years since his son Leonard said he was born at Fort Litters, N.C. in 1759. George Michael Eller bought land next to his brother Henry, in Frederick Co., MD in 1773, so he went back to Frederick County. His wife's name was Anna Marie and was the known mother of the last seven children, and may well have been Peter's and Leonard's mother. The Ellers of North Carolina have been connected with education since that state's earliest days. Academies in Virginia and North Carolina were started by Ellers and a list of the public school personnel today in N.C. is sprinkled with Ellers. [In 1790 there were 11 Eller families shown in the Rowan Co., NC census. At that time, members of the Eller family also were in Wilkes Co., NC and in Botetort Co., VA.] Children:
a. Peter, b. [1746/]1748 [possibly in Germany]; d. [bef] 29 Jul 1799 at Ashe Co., NC; m. [abt 1766/7 probably of Frederick Co, MD] Elizabeth Dick.
b. Leonard, b. 20 Mar 1752 at Ft. Litters [20 Mar 1754 probably in NC, possibly in Germany]; d. 1839, [probably] Hamilton Co., IN; m. Elizabeth Mast [Elizabeth ___].
c. Elizabeth, b. 1756; d. 1777; m. Henry Repp [10 Jun 1777 to Heinrich Reb, s/o Caspar Reb of Bucks Co., PA].
d. Jacob, b. 1758; d. 1830 [between 10 May 1830 and Oct 1830, Botetort Co., VA], m. Magdalena [___].
e. George, b. 1760 [d. probably abt 1839, Davidson Co., NC; m. Susannah [___].
f. John, b. 1762; m. [possibly] Catherine Fight [or Fort].
g. Eve, b. 1764.
h. Catherine, b. 1767; m. [probably 27 May 1788, Frederick Co., MD] Peter Lehman.
i. Maria, b. 1769."

3. Mentioned in father's will per FHL book 929.273 P684pn: "Graybill/Stoker/Eller/Smith/Koons/Pitt Connections," by Norman E. 'Gene' Pitt, 1996, pp. 119-123, see George's notes for full quotation:
"George Michael Eller's will, possibly written several years before his death, was proved 25 Aug 1778 (Will Book G M., No. 1, p. 76, Frederick Co., MD) follows: 'In the name of God amen. I George Michael Eller of Frederick County in the province of Maryland living, ...my beloved wife, Anna Maria ...my oldest son Peter Eller ...my son Leonard Eller ...my daughter Elizabeth ...the overplus shall be divided by my Executors among my six youngest children namely, Jacob Eller, George Eller, John Eller, Eve Eller, Cathrine Eller and Maria Eller; further Jacob Eller shall have the Bible..."

"Elizabeth Eller, m. 10 Jun 1777, Henrich Reb, son of Caspar Reb of Bucks Co., Penna. Her marriage was recorded by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick City, Maryland which gave the residence as Peiff (Pipe Creek) and called her George Michael Eller's daughter. Witnesses were Jacob, George and Joseph Eller, Michael and Barbara Krault, Frederick Reutenbach, Conrad Spohn, Michael Ungerer and Marie Schmausin. She was shown to be a married daughter in her father's estate settlement but her married name was not legible. (Minute Book and Proceedings of the Orphan's Court, 1777-1784, Frederick Co., Md.) Jacob and George Eller who witnessed her marriage doubtless were her brothers. Joseph Eller probably was her cousin, son doubtless of Henry Eller."

5. FHL Book 929.273, film 6005243, "John Jacob Eller and His Descendants with Other Pre-1800 Eller Immigrants to America," by the Eller Family Association, 1998, 817-297-1280; Chapter 4, concerning the George Michael Eller and his children:
"Many gaps in our knowledge of the genealogy of descendants of George Michael Eller are revealed in [the following:]
George Michael Eller married (1st)? (2nd)? (3rd) Eva Maria [Why Eva and not Anna - later in same article they use Anna Maria]. Frederick County, Maryland. Their children and grand-children:
1. Peter, married Elizabeth Dick; Children: John, Catherine, Peter Jr., Elizabeth, unnamed daughter, Jacob, Mary, Henry, George.

9. Maria (Mary) married Jacob Eller; Children: Cloah (Chloe) 'Glory' Eller (Source: Troutman and File, 'Eller Chronicles,' XI:1, Sp. Ed., Feb 1997)
The book comments on current thinking of the Eller Family Association (EFA) on Hook research into George Michael Eller (GME) which I summarize as follows:
A. The two arrival records, Michael Eller in the ship "Phoenix" and Geo. Eler and Hans Jerg Ohler of the "St. Andrew" continue to lead to some confusion and differences of opinion. Recent analysis has led the Eller Family Association to believe that Geo. Eler and Hans Jerg Ohler were apparently the same individual. The clarification of the misinterpretation is that EFA does not feel that Hook documented where he got an age of 43 for Hans Georg Oehler. According to the actual records as reported by EFA as found in Strassburger and Hinke, Vol. 1, pp. 348-352: List 103A, p. 349, 'Geo. Eler listed age 20 and between Johannes Mayer and Peter Warner; List 103B, p. 350, Hans Jerg Ohler listed between Johannes Mayer and Peter Warner; List 103C, p. 351, Hanes Jerg Ohler listed between Johannes Mayer and Peter Warner. My note: did not the age come from the Oaths of Allegiance taken in 1743 in Pennsylvania right after the 1743 ship arrivals?
B. The 1753 deed in Lancaster Co., PA to 25 acres, the 1759 Rowan County tax list, and the 1772 Randolph Co., NC, tax list for Michael Eller may or may not be for George Michael Eller. Specifically EFA thinks the 1759 tax list may actually be for Melchior Eller whom was in Rowan County at that early date - Melchior sometimes being rendered as Melker or perhaps even Michael. On the other hand, four of GME's sons were in NC in the 1770s including Leonard as a large landowner in Randolph County making the 1772 Randolph Co. tax list a possibility. There is still no concrete evidence that GME was in North Carolina before his 1773 evidence of being in Frederick Co., MD. 1773 was the same year Peter, his eldest son, first shows in Rowan Co. and it wasn't until 1778 that his other sons were in NC.
C. The Bible record of Leonard being born at Fort (Ford) Litters, NC and his father from Bebon (Baden?) continues to puzzle researchers. No record or location of Fort Litters has yet been found. Most researchers believe Leonard was born in the United States and not Germany as reported by Hook on page 32. My note: I don't believe that Hook ever stated one way or the other except to quote what the Indiana history book he cites had quoted.
D. A will for George Eller, son of GME has been located. An abstract of his will from the Division of Lands Book, pp. 32-33, Davidson Co., NC was obtained from the Public Library in Lexington, NC. His heirs listed in the may Term 1841 Court Record includes: Caroline Sowers, Katharene Darr(?), Sally Warlow, Dolly Long, David Eller, Christene Waggoner, Elizabeth Reket(?), George Eller, Sally Haines, Polly Reed.
E. As for John, son of GME, no further record has been found. EFA acknowledges that the name John Eller is too unspecific making it difficult to identify which John Ellers if any of Rowan Co. may be him.
F. "Based in part on an Eller family oral tradition in Rowan County, Maria, youngest daughter of GME, a recent report says she married Jacob Eller, a grandson of immigrant (John) Melchior Eller. Louise Barringer File of Salisbury, NC, now in her eighties, has vivid memories of being told by her grandmother, Joyce Delinda Eller Morgan, of her descent from George Michael Eller, and how intermarriages among descendants of four different Eller immigrants enabled her and many other Ellers to claim four immigrant Ellers as ancestors. …taken from the work of Troutman and File (1997)." A chart accompanies the book showing how children of the original immigrants John Jacob, Christian, Melchior, and GME intermarried over about four generations to produce Joyce Delinda Eller from all four immigrants. The connection with GME purports to be Maria, GME's dau., marrying the grandson of Melchior Eller.
G. Questions still to be answered according to EFA: Where in Germany is he from, how was he related to others original immigrants (John Jacob, Christian, Melchior, and Henry), what of his son Jacob and his daughters, and how many wives did he have and who were they?
H. When did the sons of GME arrive in North Carolina?

BIRTH:
1. I use an estimated date based on a presumed minimum age of 18 at the time of her marriage.

2. Mother of this individual and listing of this individual in father George Michael's will is expertly discussed in the following per FHL Book 929.273EL54h "George Michael Eller and Descendants of His in America," compiled by James W. Hook, 1957, also on FHL film 896571, item 2, pp. 6-14: "George Michael Eller died in Frederick County, Maryland before 25 Aug 1778 when his will, written in the German language and translated and put on record by Thomas Schley, was proved in the Frederick County court. The fact that his will was written in German indicates that he was born in Germany...
The wife of George Michael Eller as given in his will was Anna Maria, but the way the will reads it is apparent that she was not his first wife and very likely not the mother of any of the children named in same. The will bore no date but was proved by its witnesses 25 Aug 1778. This writer suspects that it was written several years before his death. It reads as follows, (Will Book G.M., No. 1, p. 76, Frederick Co., MD):
'In the name of God amen. I George Michael Eller of Frederick County in the province of Maryland living, am for this time sik and not right well but in my sound memory thanks be given unto God therefore seeing my nullity, ordain herein my Last Will and Testament in full love. I recommend my soul into the hands of God that gave it and my body to the earth, to be buried in a Christian like manner at the discretion of my Executors, my Executors shall in the first place pay out of my Estate all my just debts, and the overplus what the Lord gave me in this world I ordain as followith, my beloved wife, Anna Maria I give fifty pounds lawful Money, the small red cow with a white head, thirty bushels of wheat, her bed and her chest she bought (brought) to me, also the small and large Iron Potts, a half dozn peuter plates, one peuter basin, a dozn peuter spoons and a small melt pan, three iron kettles, a small washer tup a water tup and the churn, her spinnin wheel, her lamp, her Bible and Psal mody, one quart tin mog, and a pint do, on quart bottle, and every year fifteen pounds as long as they can live together also her clothing out of my Estate they can agree together, the aforesaid fifteen pounds to be paid to her in the first year only out of my whole estate, and if they can agree to live longer together, then the six younger children shall pay her the same by themselves out of my good consideration I caused to be right and is my last will and Testament that my oldest son Peter Eller, shall have the sum of 97 pounds lawful money, and my son Leonard Eller shall have the sum of 82 pounds and my daughter Elizabeth shall likewise have 82 pounds lawful money; and these said three children shall have that money three years after my decease then my two Executors, namely Henry Eller and Martin Gerber, shall be impowered to sell the Place, wagon and horses, all the creatures and moveables, and shall pay to my beloved wife her part of the same; and the overplus shall be divided by my Executors among my six youngest children namely, Jacob Eller, George Eller, John Eller, Eve Eller, Cathrine Eller and Maria Eller; further Jacob Eller shall have the Bible and to pay to George ten shillings, also shall Jacob have the young colt, if it mare bring the same luky. This is George Michael Eller his x mark and Seal X (Seal) Attested by John Bergers and Henry Schmaus (Smous) - John Bergers, Henry Smouse the above witnesses were sworn Frederick County, 25th August 1778. Then came the above Thomas Schley and made oath on the holy Evangelists of Almighty God, that the within and above writing is a just and true Translation to the best of his knowledge of the original Will of the above named George Michael Eller, which is written in the German language and that he hath not knowingly or intentionally translated any matter of substance contrary to the true meaning of said Will. Certified by George Murdock, Regr.'
The phrases in the above will pertaining to his wife and the things 'she brought to me' and the legacies to her that were made contingent on his six youngest children and her being able 'to live longer together,' indicates that she was not their mother. The name of his first wife was not found. The Evangelical Lutheran Church records of Frederick County, Maryland, records the baptism, on 8 Nov 1756, of Marie Magdalena Aller, daughter of Michael Aller and his wife Salome. (Evangelical Lutheran Church Records, p. 40, Maryland Hist. Soc.) This, doubtless, was another family because in the same year (1756) Carl Aller baptized a daughter Anna Barbara and in 1775 one Michael Aller was recorded as owing money to Mr. Hass, the same probably being for the church. (pp. 42 and 49 Ibid.)
If all facts were known they might show that George Michael Eller was married three times and that his first son Peter was a child by his first wife and all others by his second. Peter was a grown man with a wife and child as early as the late seventeen sixties. His brother, Leonard, was born 20 March 1754. Peter Eller was called 'my eldest son' in the George Michael Eller will and the latter's children, Jacob, George, John, Eve, Catherine and Maria, called 'my six youngest children,' were given the residue of the estate in equal shares. The son, Peter, was given 97 pounds and the son, Leonard, and daughter, Elizabeth, were given 82 pounds apiece. All of this adds up to the fact that Peter, Leonard and Elizabeth were his eldest children and that Peter probably was some years older than the other two, and, maybe, their half brother."

MARRIAGE:
1. FHL Book 929.273EL54h "George Michael Eller and Descendants of His in America," compiled by James W. Hook, 1957, also on FHL film 896571, item 2, pp. 6-14: " Neither [George Michael of his brother Henry are] shown in the records of the Evangelical Lutheran or the German Reformed Churches of Frederick Co., MD except for the marriage of Elizabeth, daughter of George Michael Eller who is recorded in the Evangelical Lutheran Church as having married Henrich Reb, 10 Jun 1777. Very probably Reb was a member of the church." Elizabeth is shown married in her father's will of 25 Aug 1778.

DEATH:
1. This individual is listed living in father's will of 25 Aug 1778. 		Eller, Elizabeth (I3613)

3. FHL Book 929.273EL54h "George Michael Eller and Descendants of His in America," compiled by James W. Hook, 1957, also on FHL film 896571, item 2, pp. 17-31, clarifies early North Carolina counties and land grant practices:
"Land grants in North Carolina originated with an entry application which was filed in the county where the land was situated and if not lost are now on file there. This was followed, sometimes soon and sometimes years later by an order from the land office for the tract to be surveyed. Sometimes soon and sometimes years later the survey was made and a surveyor's plat filed with the Secretary of State in Raleigh. Then came the grant which may have been issued reasonably near the date of the survey or sometimes several years later. These grants, orders to survey and the survey itself are on file now in the Secretary of State's office at Raleigh...
Many counties were formed from what originally was Rowan County, namely Surry and Guilford in 1770, Burke and Wilkes in 1777, Randolph in 1779, Iridell in 1788, Stokes in 1789, Buncomb in 1791, Ashe in1799, Davidson in 1822, Yancey in 1833, Davie in 1836 and Yadkin in 1850. Some of these counties were grandchildren of Rowan County; for instance Wilkes was taken partly from Burke and partly from Surry, Randolph from Guilford, Buncomb and Yancy form Burke, Ashe from Wilkes and Stokes and Yadkin from Surry. These facts must be kept in mind when tracing early Rowan County families."

BIOGRAPHY:
1. FHL Book 929.273EL54h "George Michael Eller and Descendants of His in America," compiled by James W. Hook, 1957, also on FHL film 896571, item 2, pp. 33-52: "Leonard Eller, was born, according to 'Portrait and Biographical Record of Madison and Hamilton Counties, Indian, 1893, pp. 624, 625,' on 20 Mar 1754 in Germany. Other records say he was born in the USA which probably is correct. He died, according to Hamilton Co., Indiana Court Records, in 1839 or 1840. He married Elizabeth who died in 1831 between the dates of of 13 Jan and 27 Jun. (Deed Book 8, pp. 388, 11, and 463, Miami Co., Ohio.) Her surname was not found [Mast later added by typescript in the book]. As already stated, one Leonard Eller, doubtless the same, was mentioned as a son in the will of George Michael Eller probated in Frederick Co., MD, 25 Aug 1778 and shown to be one of his three eldest children, a son Peter being the eldest son a daughter Elizabeth being the other one of the three. Other children mentioned in his will as 'my youngest children' were Jacob, George, John, Eve, Catherine and Maria.
William Eller, 1819-1894, son of John Eller and grandson of Leonard Eller wrote the following in a Bible that is now, 1956, in the possession of Mrs. Paul Joseph Harrop, 1613 W. Riverview Av., Dayton, Ohio:
'William Eller was born July 26, A.D. 1819 John Eller was mi father he was Born in Ashe County, North Carolina his father was Lenard Eller he was born in at fort (ford, fork) littors, North Carolina his father came from Bebon (Baden) Co. Germany in the year 1690.'
The writer has not been able to locate fort (ford, fork) littors in North Carolina and he suspects that 'Bebon Co., Germany' was meant for the Republic of Baden in south west Germany, and, of course, it could scarcely have been possible for Leonard Eller's father to have come from Germany as early as 1690 unless he was a babe in arms and came with his parents. Even then he would have been pretty old to have had a son Leonard born 20 March 1754. What would be more likely is that Leonard's grandfather Eller was born in 1690 and came later to America with his son George Michael.
If, as the Bible asserts, Leonard Eller was born in North Carolina then his father was also living there and may have been the Michael Eller found in the list of taxables in Rowan Co., NC in 1759. Jacob, Christian and Melker Eller, as already stated, were also in Rowan Co. in 1762-65. It is entirely possible that George Micahel Eller, Leonard's father, went to North Carolina with the other Ellers and later returned to Frederick County, MD whre he is first found in the records on April 14, 1773 when, describing himself as then being of Frederick Co., MD, he bought 100 acres of land at a place called 'Hammond Phife' (Strife) where Henry Eller, doubtless his brother had purchased land 6 Jun 1767. Hammand Strife was a tract of 1230 acres of land that was patented to John Hammond 10 Aug 1753. It was located in Frederick Co., MD about ten miles north east of Fredericktown and just east of the town of Johnsville in the District of Johnsville.
Leonard Eller first appears in the North Carolina records 19 Jun 1784 when he entered 640 acres of land in Rowan Co., NC on both sides of Lick Creek, (now in Davidson Co.). This land adjoined lands of James Riley, William Grist and Michael Ritter and include Richard Beams mill. 416 acres of this land was surveyed for Leonard Eller 30 Dec 1791 with no explanation of what became of the remaining 224 acres. The 416 acres were granted tohim 26 Nov 1793. (Grant 2165, Sec'y of State's Office, Raleigh, NC) On the same date (26 Nov 1793) he was given two additonal grants in Rowan County, both on Sheets Creek, waters of Urray (now in Davidson Co., NC) one for 348 acres and the other for 150 acres. (Grants 2166 and 2237, Secretary of State's office, Raleigh, NC) Waters of Urry doubtless refers to creeks in Davidson Co. that flow into the Uwharrie River of Western Randoph Co., NC. On 13 Jun 1821 Leonard Eller of Miami Co., Ohio gave a power of attorney to Samuel Hoover of Randoph Co., NC, empowereig him 'to lease or sell' his three tracts of land, 'one on the waters of Lick Creek and the other two on Sheets Creek all now in the possession of Jacob Hoover, late deceased.' (Deed Book 1, p. 257, Davidson Co., NC.) These Hoovers were early members of the family from whom descended Herbert Hoover, the thirty-first President of the United States.
It should be re-stated here that land was granted on 25 Oct 1786 and 12 Aug 1788, respectively to George and Peter Eller in that part of Rowan that in 1820 became Davidson Co. These two and Leonard Eller, doubtless were brothers. Another brother, the records strongly indicate was Jacob Eller who settle in Botetort Co., VA [disputed - see his notes in this database] about the same time and one of the John Ellers shown in the 1790 and later censuses of Rowan Co., NC, probably, was another brother.
Leonard Eller is shown in the 1790 census of Rowan Co, NC at the age over 16 with a family of 4 females, including the female head of the family, ages not indicated, and with three males all under 16. He is shown in the 1800 cenus of Randolph Co. in NC as Leonard Ellier aged between 26 and 45 with a wife of same age and with a family of one female aged between 16 and 26, one male aged between 10 and 16 and with three males and two females all aged under 10. He removed to Miami Co., Ohio about 1801 and settled in the Stillwater River Valley of what in 1807 became Union Township.
Leonard Eller lived in Miami Co., Ohio until 1834 or early 1835, (Deed Book 16, p. 685 and Deed Book 13, p. 110 of Miami Co., Ohio), at which time he removed to Hamilton Co., Indiana where he died in 1839 or 1840. (Administrator apptd.) He purchased land in Indiana, district of Brookville, Hamilton County, as early as 31 Jan 1826, (Deed Book D, p. 180, Hamilton Co., IN) and again purchased land there 9 Jun 1832 (Deed Book A., p. 434, Hamilton Co., IN), but in both deeds he described himself as residng in Miami Co., Ohio. The latest deed showing him to be of Miami Co., Ohio was dated 15 Mar 1834. (Deed Book 16, p. 685, Miami Co., Ohio.) The earliest deed showing him living in Hamilton Co., IN was dated 10 Mar 1835. (Deed Book 13, p. 110, Miami Co., Ohio.)
'The History of Miami Co., Ohio,' 1880, p. 225, says that Leonard Eller settled in Section 35, Union Twsp. of the county, coming from North Carolina. He came with Henry Fouts also of North Carolina who settled in Section 33 which turned out to be better land. Eller, the account says, was a much older man than Fouts and possessed more means, the greater portion of which he invested in land. 'His five sons,' continued the account, 'settled near him and, being robust and industrious, soon made a visible mark in the forest.' The account concludes by saying 'There seems to be some diversity of opinion in regard to the first of the resolute men who invaded the wild domain of nature in the township (Union Twsp.) and wrested from her giant grasp the gifts with which she so reluctantly parts. The weight of authority seems to be in favor of Henry Fouts who in company with Leonard and Adam Eller, in the year 1801, erected the first cabin nestled in this forest primeval. The Ellers located in the southern part of the township, east of the Stillwater River, while Fouts' settled on the west side.'
'The Centennial History of Troy, Piqua and Miami Co., Ohio' by Thomas C. Harbough, 1909, page 91, says that it was a 'tide of emigration that flowed northward from the Carolinas that broke upon the shores of Stillwater and populated Union Township,' and further on continues by saying, 'In the year 1801 Henry Fouts and the two Ellers, Leonard and Adam, settled in Union Township in the very heart of the forst primeval.' Others coming about the same time were Caleb Mendinhall with his family of six followed by John Mast and Frederick Yount the latter of whom located a mill site and supplied the settlers with flour and meal. In 1804 came David Motes Sr. with his five sons who settled on the west side of the river while William Fincher, William Neal, Benjamin Pike and Jacob Byrkett settled on the east side. The Hoover family of North Carolina came later, the president's grandfather, Eli Hoover, having been born in the township in 1820.
Apparently Leonard Eller and his son Adam returned to North Carolina for a time after 1800 because Lenard Ellor (sic) of Randoph Co., N.C. purchased from Samuel Underwod 150 acres of land on Caraway Creek in Randolph Co., NC, 17 Nov 1803. (Deed Book 8, p. 490, Randolph Co.) It is possible that the name was Leonard Ellord because, on 18 Sept 1792, one Lenard Ellord of Randolph County purchased from Thomas Curtis 250 acres of land on Caraway Creek in Randolph Co. including 'all improvements, orchards, mines, minerals Heraditaments and appurtenance to the said land belonging' and also 'all of the estate rights, title, interest, property claims and demands,' etc. (Deed Book 5, p. 172, Randolph Co., NC.) The name was spelled Ellord in all places in the first deed and Ellor in the second.
Another indication that Leonard Eller returned from Miami Co., Ohio for a time after 1800 arises from the fact that his grandson, David Eller, son of Adam gave his date of birth as 1805/6 and place of birth North Carolina in the census taken in Marion County, Indiana in 1850. His brother Andrew, born 1807/8, gave his birth place as Ohio.
Two land grants to Leonard Eller are recordede in the Miami County Courthouse at Troy, Ohio. They apparently wre confirmations by President Madison of land earlier taken up by Leonard eller. they are dated 30 July 1812 and convey two quarter secitons of land, one the S.E.quarter and the other the NW quarter in Section 26 of Township 6, Range 5, East of the mefidian of lands directed to be sold at Cincinnati, Ohio by Act of Congress entitiled 'An act providing for the sale of land of the United States in the territory NorthWest of Ohio and above the mouth of the Kentucky River.' (Deed Book 26, p. 270, Miami Co., Ohio, Vol. 1, p. 316 and Vol. 20, p. 172 at Cincinnati.)
According to the Harbough Centennieal History supra, Congress Land (Public Lands) in the Ohio country prior to 1799 could not be sold in quantities of less than 4000 acres but in that year through the efforts of General Harrison, (William Henry Harrison the 9th president, then a member of conbress), a law was passed authorizing the sale of one half the public lands in sections and other half in half sections. A law permitting the sale of land in quarter sections was passed in 1804.
On 25 Sep 1828 Leonard Eller, his wife Elizabeth concurring, filed a plat and field notes of a town,' laid off by Leonard Eller, propietor, to be known as Frederick Town.' (Deed Book 7, p. 14, Miami co., Ohio.) It consisted of 40 lots situated in Union Township of Miami county. The town was rectangular in outline, the long way being approximately north and south. Teh plat was bounded by North Street, South Street, West Street and East Street and intersecting the town half way between North and South Streets was a street named Cross Street. Later recores show to whom these lots were conveyed. it would be interesting to know if the selection of Frederick Town for thetowns's name was in honto fo Frederick Town, Maryland near werhe Leonard Eller's parents lived and where, perhaps, he was born. The town i sonly barely remembered by present cititzens of the county.
Leonard Eller died intestate in 1839 or 1840 when an admininstrator of his intestate estate was appointed. Distribution was not completed until 13 Nov 1854 when the administrator, David Wilkinson, filed his final account. This account showed that Leonard Eller had eight children who married and left children only three of whom namely Mary Lucinda North, Joseph Eller and Jacob Eller survived him. The heirs at law of all deceased children were named, some of them being great grandchildren of Leonard Eller, as shown below. The children, given below, of his son Joseph, a survivor of his father, were found in the settlement papers of Joseph's estate and in the book 'Portrait and Biographical Record of Madison and Hamilton Counties, Indiana,' by Thomas Harbough, 1893.
Children of Leonard and Elizabeth Eller were:
a. Adam Eller, b. say about 1780; d. before 1840; m. probably Nanny (Nancy) Wood of Randolph Co., NC. 'The History of Miami Co., Ohio' says that he was a settler with his father, Leonard Eller, in that county indicating that he probably was Leonard's eldest son. 'The History of Indianapolis and Marion Co., Indiana' by Sulgrove, 1884, p. 548, says that Adam Eller came with his family to Marion Co., Indiana from Stillwater, (meaning obviously the Stillwater River Section of Miami Co.), Ohio in an early day and entered 160 acres of land. He was a farmer and had daughters Elizabeth, Lucinda and Nancy and sons David, Andrew and Leonard... [The book continues with more biography on this couple's children.] ...Pages 66, 537 and 539 of the same history states that Adam Eller entered 80 acres in Lawrence Twsp. of Marion Co., Aug. 1824 and that Leonard, Joseph and John Eller each entered 80 acres of land in Lawrence Township April 1825 and that Adam, Leonard, David, and Andrew Eller were on the Lawrence Township tax list of 1829... The first Federal Census of Miami County, Ohio, 1820, shows that Adam Eller was then living in that county at an age between 26 and 45 with a wife of the same age, two male Children, aged between 10 and 16 and four female children all under 10. This writer looked for him, without results, in the land and other records of Miami and Montgomery Counties in Ohio and Hamilton County, Ohio [Indiana?]... [The book continues with biographies on this couple's descendancy.]
b. Elizabeth Eller, m. 21 Sep 1807 Thomas North. (Miami Co., Ohio Marriages)... [The book continues with biographies on this couple's descendancy.]
c. John Eller, b. according to the Harrop Bible record, supra, in North Carolina; m. 14 Feb 1811, Sarah (Sally) Burkit, b. abt. 1792. (Miami Co., OH. Marriages.) He died in 1830 according to Harrop Bible Record but a guardianship for his minor children Philip, Enoch (Enos) and Elizabeth was dated 23 Apr 1841. (Estate No. 1112, Miami Co., Ohio.) the latter date may have been about the time of his wifeSarah's death. Joseph eller, uncle doubtless of said Children, was appointed guardian. The 1850 census of Miami Co., Ohio shows a female Malinda Eller, aged 17 living with Sarah Eller, aged 58, the latter, doubtless the widow of John Eller...

She married 2nd James North who was born in North Carolina, emigrating later to the Stillwater River Country in Ohio and in 1821 to Marion Co., Indiana whre he was a farmer but not a land owner. ('Hist. of Indianapolis and Marion Co., Ind.', by Berry L. Sulgrove, 1884, p. 548.)

"Peter Eller Jr. was born about 1778; d. on his farm on Ceroles Creek in Wilkes County, NC, Nov 1851. The 1850 census of Wilkes County gives him the age of 72 years. He married Mary Anne Pennington, b. 1782 and in 1870, at the age of 88, was living with her daughter Mary Anne Cooper. (1870 Fed. Census of Wilkes Co., NC.) She was a daughter of William Pennington who entered 300 acres of land on the North Fork of New River, 23 Dec 1779, but whether he lived on the land that early or not is not clear. William Pennington died about 1810 and William Pennington Jr. and Peter Eller were appointed administrators. On 2 July 1812 Peter Eller and William Pennington, administrators of William Pennington, deceased, sold to Joseph Colwell (Colvard) of Ashe County, land that had been granted to William Pennington by the state of North Carolina, 15 December 1798.
William Pennington was given two grants of land in Wilkes County, NC, both in the North Fork of New River. One of these grants was for 50 acres and the other for 200 acres and dated 20 Dec 1791 and 15 Dec 1798 respectively. (Grants #1248 and #1795, Secy. of State's office, Raleigh.) Survey for the 50 acres tract was ordered 2 May 1788 and the survey made 4 Jan 1789. The land apparently was that or part of the tract that was entered by William Pennington, 23 Dec 1779. (Wilkes Co. Land Entries on film at the Genealogical Society, Utah at Salt Lake City.)
On 30 Nov 1805, 42 acres of land were granted to Peter Eller on Long Shoal Creek at Pennington's Corner. This land had been entered by Peter Eller 26 Sep 1802. (Grant #560, Secy. of State's office, Raleigh, NC.) On 21 Oct 1809 Peter Eller entered another tract of land in Ashe County on 'fenex' (Phoenix) Creek containing 150 acres and recieved a grant for it 4 Dec 1811. (Grant #740, Secy. of State's office, Raleigh, NC) Both of these grants obviously were to Peter Eller, Jr. and both located on the North Fork of the New River near where William Pennington lived.
On 31 Jul 1822, Peter Eller, then living in Wilkes county, bought of Edmond James, for $100.00, 100 acres of land in Ashe Couty on Phoenix Creek.
Peter Eller, removed to Wilkes county about 1816 and settled on Ceroles Creek. He is shown in the 1810 Federal Census of Ashe County at age between 26 and 45 with wife of same age and two female and two male children all under 10 years. In the 1820 census of Wilkes County, Peter Eller and his wife each aged between 26 and 45 are shown with one male aged 18-26, one male aged 16-18, two males 10-16, one female 10-16, two females and 2 males each under 10. In the 1850 census Peter Eller is shown, aged 72 with wife Mary, aged 59 sic (obviously an error and probably should be aged 69) and living with them was a female, aged 7, a grandchild probably, daughter of George and Mary (Minton) Eller. The children of Peter Eller and his wife Mary Pennington were:
William Eller, (Footy Billy) b. 1801 by the 1850 [census] and 1803 by the 1860 and 1870 censuses. He m. Sarah (Sally) McGlemery, b. 1805. [Notes 1850 census is of Wilkes Co., NC. Biographies of their children follow in the book.]
David Eller. This son is said to have married and settled in Iredell Co., NC. The Federal Census of that county in 1830 shows a David Eller, aged between 30-40 with a wife aged 20-30 and with a family of 3 males and 1 female all under 10 years of age. If he was the son of Peter Eller Jr, it is likely that his age was between 20-30 rather than between 30-40. He is not shown in any later census.
Martha Eller, m. 8 Sep 1823 Elijah Mitchell.
Susanna Eller, m. license issued in Wilkes Co., 30 Oct 1823, David McGlemery.

[McNiel family genealogy is in same book on p. 404. The biographies of the children of this couple follows in the book per the 1850 Wilkes Co. census.]
George Eller, b. 1812, twin apparently of Delila next above. George Eller was issued a license in Wilkes Co., 24 Jul 1845 to marry Mary Minton, b. 1823/4. She evidently was his 2nd wife because of older children that family records say he had. [Biographies of their children follow in the book.]

Mary Anne (Polly) Eller, youngest child. She m. John Cooper who predeceased her. The 1870 Federal census of Wilkes Co. shows her at age 45 as head of a family with the following children living with her. [Biographies of their children follow in the book.]"

3. FHL Book 929.273EL54h "George Michael Eller and Descendants of His in America," compiled by James W. Hook, 1957, also on FHL film 896571, item 2, pp. 17-31, clarifies early North Carolina counties and land grant practices:
"Land grants in North Carolina originated with an entry application which was filed in the county where the land was situated and if not lost are now on file there. This was followed, sometimes soon and sometimes years later by an order from the land office for the tract to be surveyed. Sometimes soon and sometimes years later the survey was made and a surveyor's plat filed with the Secretary of State in Raleigh. Then came the grant which may have been issued reasonably near the date of the survey or sometimes several years later. These grants, orders to survey and the survey itself are on file now in the Secretary of State's office at Raleigh...
Many counties were formed from what originally was Rowan County, namely Surry and Guilford in 1770, Burke and Wilkes in 1777, Randolph in 1779, Iridell in 1788, Stokes in 1789, Buncomb in 1791, Ashe in1799, Davidson in 1822, Yancey in 1833, Davie in 1836 and Yadkin in 1850. Some of these counties were grandchildren of Rowan County; for instance Wilkes was taken partly from Burke and partly from Surry, Randolph from Guilford, Buncomb and Yancy form Burke, Ashe from Wilkes and Stokes and Yadkin from Surry. These facts must be kept in mind when tracing early Rowan County families."

A. At least two children are definitely known of William Pennington Sr. They are:
a. William Pennington Jr. Information taken from the "History of Sweetwater Valley," by W.B. Lenoir of Sweetwater, TN, state that William Pennington, Jr. was born Dec. 13, 1777 in Ashe Co., N.C. and died April 22, 1838 in Sweetwater Valley. His wife was Elizabeth Eller, born in N.C. Oct. 1776, died Dec. 7, 1844. She was the daughter of Peter Eller (see book "George Michael Eller an descendants of His America," by James Hook). William Pennington, Jr. moved to Sweetwater Valley and settled on the Jesse Martin (Presley Cleveland) place. He sold his interest there to Presley Cleveland. William and Elziabeth had one son: John Pennington, born in Ashe Co./, N.C. Oct. 27, 1801 m. Alpha Davis of Semerset, KY. [John and Alpha's children and grandchildren are then listed in detail.]
b. Mary Anne Pennington dau. of William Sr., born in 1782, m. Peter Eller Jr., son of Peter, Sr., and a bro. of Elizabeth who m. Mary Anne's brother William (see book "George Michael Eller an descendants of His America," by James Hook, for their children).
B. From deed records it appears that William Pennington Sr. lived in the Heldon community of Ashe Co., on the waters of Big Helton Creek, Martin's Branch, near the Virginia line. These deed records also indicate that among his neighbors was a man named Lewis, a man named Smith, a man named Couch, and Levi and Ephraim Pennington. The last two named could have been his sons, brothers, uncles, or father. In 1818 an Aaron Pennington was living on Strunk's Branch in the Helton area. This Aaron might have been another son of William Sr.'s (or he could just have easily been the son of Levi or Ephraim living near William). It might be added that this exact area (Big Helton Creek, near the Virginia line) is where Mae Pennington's ancestor Stephen Pennington lived and I think it is possible that Stephen could have been a grandson of William Sr. (Ephraim or Levi in this vicinity also possiblitlites. Mae herself states that Stephen's father was Samuel Pennington, who may have been a son of William Sr., Levi, Ephraim or Aaron, all living in the Helton area in the early 19th century.) I feel certain that William Sr. had children other than William Jr. and Mary Ann Eller, although no others hve been identified at this time."

2. Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Landau accessed 18 Nov 2014:
"Vladimir Maximilianovich Landau (Russian: Владимир Максимилиа́нович Ланда́у) March 29 [O.S. March 16] 1902 – September 24, 1971) was a Russian-born Monegasque tennis player. In 1931 he was the 14th on the French rankings, which included players of all nationality provided that they played in and represented a French sports club.[7]
Early life and family[edit]
Vladimir Landau was born on March 29, 1902 in Petrograd to Maximilien Landau and Anna Herzenberg.[2] He had a sister Alice who was a famous ballet dancer under the pseudonym Alice Nikitina.[8] After World War I the family moved to Monaco.
Tennis career
In 1928 he reached the quarterfinal of the doubles at Monegasque Championships alongside Ludwig von Salm Hoogstraten.[9] The next year he was defeated in the doubles final of the Beaulieu L.T.C. tournament partnering László Dörner of Romania.[10] Also in 1929 he took a major part with his two victories in the first ever Davis Cup tie and victory of Monaco against Switzerland at home and advanced into the second round where they faced Hungary in Budapest.[1][11] Although they lost Landau scored both victories of his team.[1] In the 1930 French Championships he was the eleventh seed and was eliminated in the third round.[4] In January 1931 at the Beausite Club de Cannes Cup he won the doubles contest with his teammate Hillyard.[12] In February he won a triple crown at the Monte Carlo Country Club tournament beating Hillyard in singles, partnering with him for the doubles victory against Garcia/Chastel and clinching the mixed doubles with British Phyllis Satterthwaite from Garcia/Mrs. Richards.[13] In March he was a runner-up for the Bordighera Championships doubles partnering Béla von Kehrling and only lost to the Irish-Italian duo of George Lyttleton-Rogers and Alberto del Bono.[14] In May in an unofficial challenge between the Davis Cup teams of Monaco and Netherlands his team claimed a clean win with Landau's back-to-back victories over Jan van der Heide, Ody Koopman in two singles and a doubles .[15] In the very first tournament of the 1932 season in Beaulieu Landau, assisted by Irish champion Lyttleton-Rogers, earned the doubles title after a five-set battle.[16] In 1934 he ceded the Monegasque Championships to Charles Aeschlimann in straights sets.[17] In 1936 at the Menton tournament he fell to Norcross Tilney in the semifinals.[18] In January 1937 he captured the Beausite L.T.C. doubles trophy with Kho Sin Kie but unfortunately they met in the singles final as well where in the end Kho was triumphant after a five-set battle wrapping the match with a love-set.[19] He also reached the final of the mixed doubles with Simone Matthieu.[20] In February at the Carlton-Cannes tournaments he aligned with Mrs Merricks and dropped the mixed semifinals to Weiwers and Karstend.[21] In September in Menton in the semifinal encounter between him and compatriot Gaston Médecin he was beaten in two sets but they won the doubles title together.[22]
In the Davis Cup Landau played 15 ties between 1929-1947 and compiled an 11/30 winning record.[1]
Controversies
In April 1947 Landau was summoned to court and to testify in the case of an English lady named Edna Clayton who was accused of breaching the Defence Finance regulations. When Mrs. Clayton spent her holiday in Monte Carlo he ran out of cash and after borrowing some from her host friend she still needed to pay her trip back to England. The friend called for Landau who offered to lend her money. Although her cheque was post-dated he gave £50 in an unusually high exchange rate.[23] This deception was revealed to be related to Max Intrator,[23] or "Palestine Max" an international warrant smuggler and cheque fraud who was arrested in the same month and who indirectly cashed in cheques worth more than £75, a sum that the post-war Treasury allowed to be spent abroad.[24][25][26] People who accepted cheques from British subjects on the Continent on behalf of Intrator were believed to be aware of the currency crime circle and thus got prosecuted.[26]
Personal life
After World War II Landau worked as a secretary of the Monte Carlo Tennis Club.[23] He married Janine Marie-Louise Regnart on January 26, 1945 in Paris.[2] The same year their son Patrick Landau was born who later also became a tennis player and a member of the Monaco Davis Cup team [27][28][29] Later Patrick was drafted to the US Junior Davis Cup team where he was coached by his father who was the team captain as well.[30] He studied in the Brigham Young University where he trained in the BYU Cougars.[29] There he was the Western Athletic Conference tennis singles and team champion.[29] He was also the singles and doubles champion of Monaco (also junior champion before), Durham doubles champion and runner-up in French Junior Championships.[29][31] Vladimir died on September 24, 1971 in Hannover but was buried in Monaco five weeks later.[2]

197 BIOGRAPHY:
1. Husband was Robert Stotter. Son of Lydia is Rob Stotter, 905-726-3217, 95 Morland Cres., Aurora, Ontario L4G 7Z1, Canada [as of 20 Apr 2011]. Daughter of Lydia is Martina Stotter [as of 10 Nov 2014]. Martina and Robert are half siblings with different fathers and the same mother.

2. The following undated paper was written late 1969 in Nice, France by Catherine Werblovsky Olympieff (also known as Ekaterina Werblovskaya Olympieva) at the request of Patrick Landau through his aunt Alice Nikitina. Patrick's father, Vladimir Landau, even though he was Catherine's cousin, had less knowledge on the family then Catherine. Catherine was the granddaughter of Edouard and Rebecca Herzenberg. The letter was written a couple of years before Catherine's death after she entered into an assisted care facility in Nice. The paper was recently found among personal items previously gathered about 1969 by her daughter Irene Nadia de Lanskoy Petersen. Portions of the letter were written in three languages: English, French, and Russian. Irene, in transcribing the letter, notes that the letter was hard to follow and to make sense of. Irene's transcription dated 31 Jul 2007 with her notes added in [ ].
"What concerns the father and mother of our mother's: Mother's father: Edouard Ocipovitch Herzenberg [or Gerzenberg] Edward son of Joseph Herzenberg born: in Mitava [or Mittau] not far ___, Baltic Provinces - not far from Riga. He died at 76 years of age (had diabetes and malaria) from lung congestion after flu. His wife was his cousin.
Rebecca Herzenberg also married a first cousin. I am not sure of the name of her father; she died in Moscow when I was 6 years old (70 years ago). [Death would be approximately 1899?]
They were probably married in Mitawa and came to Moscow young, because all their children were born in Moscow. The eldest 1) Elizabeth 2) Sonja [or Sonia] (Sofia) mother of Manja or Mania who now lives in Moscow, who had a sister Nadja or Nadia who was born in Moscow. Sonia's husband was Adolf Schneider - son of Aaron Schneider - who had 3 more sons: Nicolas, Alexander, Serge and a daughter Elizabeth Schneider. She got married with Martin Behr (English nationality); they had two children and lived in Moscow. Mrs. Elizabeth Behr died in London (after the Russian Revolution she lived in France, later in England.) Her brother Adolf Schneider was a brother-in-law of our mother's of course.) [This is a repeat of the above.] The Behrs had 2 children. Elisabeth Behr died in London (probably her husband Martin Behr died before.) Mrs. Behr's daughter Olga died in London about a year ago [1968-69?], her brother George Behr still lives in London is married (has 1 daughter who is married too and has 2 boys, 8 and 7.
So my mother Elisabeth was the eldest daughter of Edward and Rebecca Herzenberg born in Moscow like her sister Sonia, the next sister Flora born in Moscow. Flora, married Joseph Offenbacher, had one son Lotar (my first cousin as well as yours). She, her husband, and son died in Germany during the war of Hitler (son Lothar). [Irene notes that another family account says that Lothar committed suicide on account of the war.] [His father] Joseph Offenbacher had an older brother Vasily [William or Wilhelm] Offenbacher who married a cousin of our mother's - Fanny, daughter of Abra[ha]m (whom all children of Edward Herzenberg used to call Uncle Abraham.) He was the husband of Grandfather Edward Herzenberg's sister Theresa. His family name was also like all: Herzenberg. Theresa Herzenberg had many children - daughter Fanny, sons Ludwig, Harry, and 2 other sons and another daughter Sophia married to another Herzenberg (all those marriages were between cousins) who had three children, Robby (Robert) who lives in Sweden and 2 daughters Clara and Roberta (died in Riga - Bolshevik Revolution). [I am not sure if Clara and Roberta are correct for this family grouping.] After Flora Herzenberg, the 4th daughter was my Aunt Anjuta [Anna Herzenberg-Landau]. Then there was another one Genga (Eugenie) married Harry Taube from Riga - were killed by Hitler's army. She was the 5th daughter of Edward Herzenberg. The 6th was Lilja [Lilia] (1st wife of Uncle Max Landau - died in Davos, Switzerland from TB.) Then was another daughter Milja, died very young (she was the 7th daughter). The youngest daughter Tonya [Tonia] died in Moscow. Then there were two brothers, the oldest Ivan (John) married a French young girl from Mussidan, Dordogne, France. She was daughter of the Mayor of that town. Died in the north of Russia where - she was sent sick and was sent with her to Mourmansk (north of Russia). Uncle Vanja's [Vania, Ivan, John all same name wife Lydia died there [note her maiden name was Lydie Buisson]. Uncle Vanja died too in Bolshevik Revolution. Their 3 children: Micha (Michel) died probably in Moscow; his brother Andrei (Andre) Herzenberg and Suzanne Hindzee (Herzenberg) - 1st husband (French) Volant. She has a daughter in Toronto married in Toronto (Alja [or Alice Nikitina] knew her) who has two children, boy and girl. The father's family name is A. [Albert?] Statter - wife Lydie (Suzanne's daughter) - son Albert. [Irene's note: last known address was 33 Stonegate Road, Toronto, Canada, M8Y-1V8; phone 416-251-6295.]
There was yet other families related to us through our mother's. It was a well known dentist. His name was Kovarsky. His wife was the cousin of our mother's. They had a lot of children - 3 brothers Misha (Michael), Leva (Leon), 2 daughters Choura (Alexandra). Chura who now is same age as Suzanne [Herzenberg Hindzee] - the only one alive. I forget the name of the eldest brother deceased. Manja (Mania) in Moscow knows more about that family. What was the name of the mother cousin of our mother's-probably it was yet another of the Herzenberg family. As Alja [Alice Nikitina] will be going to Moscow she will be able to find out more form Manja [Mania]. Then there was yet another family related to the wife of our grandfather through the husband or wife Idelson. There was a girl Lisa Idelson and her brother. I think that Manja must know something about them. They lived in Moscow. I used to go see them with my mother when I was about 8 or 10 years old.
Now George Behr has written from London thanking me for my sympathy condolences on account of the death of his sister Olga Behr. She must have been older than 78 years. he thought that his aunt on his father's side, Nina Karlovna died in Moscow, as well as his cousin Leija, but I think it is relatives on the side of his father Bahr, and the cousin is perhaps of the Schneider family (it is possible that the cousin is still living). All these people lived in Moscow.
Now what concerns the Packschwer family. The one that came to see you with the Vietnamese wife has passed away. His name was Julien Packschwer born in Vitebesk, Russia. He was 72. His younger brother Saveijn (Sahva) engineer in London named himself Packshaw, died in England 3 weeks before Julien, leaving a widow (2nd marriage) and 2 children. It was the death of his younger brother that caused reaction on Julien Packshwer. He died 3 weeks after him. He was found on a street in Nice, France with a cerebral hemorrhage-fell in the street. Police took him to the hospital St. Rock where he died at 19 hours in the evening and remained in a coma. His car 2 CV (small) stayed in the parking where he had left it. It was only his Vietnamese wife [Mado] returning from Saigon 1 month after his death that was able to retrieve that car from the parking. Yet another day or two, it would have been impounded. But as it was the widow herself then came. They did not charge her anything. But as the car was her husband's-she has to wait by inheritance law to be able to sell it and divide up in 4 parts to his children. The eldest son of another marriage Leon is an eye doctor in Paris, then 3 other children. Oldest Robert in Montreal, CA; another son in ___ was in the navy for 3 years. The oldest was in the Air force, married a girl from Morocco - they are going to have a child soon. The daughter Irene married, has a little boy, the husband is serving in the military; they live in Cayrons near Vence, France in the Packshwer house. The widow/mother Mado inherited ¼ of the sum, the children ¾ divided in 4 for each of the 4 children. Through a real estate in Vence, Julien's house of 1000 sq. meters is worth 18 million francs. If the children keep the house, they will in turn need to give on fourth of the cost to the widow who also has the right to half of his monthly pension of 30,000 francs. She came to see me day before yesterday and told me all these details. So here you have it-the relatives. The mother of the Packshwer father was 1st cousin of our mother's through the daughter of the sister of our grandfather Edward Herzenberg maiden name Theresa Herzenberg died in Nice, born I think in Mitawa [Mitau], Baltic Provinces. She was buried with her husband in Nice at the Caucade cemetery.
Now I add what George Behr wrote from London that his wife Janet has seen Aunt Anjuta [Anna Herzenberg] in Monte Carlo, then he wrote about his cousin in Moscow who he thinks has passed away (he is going to find out about it from Manja-he asked their address in Monaco). She was the daughter of the oldest sister Polina Aronovna of his mother. Here is what concerns that family... [Balance of letter missing]."

3. Email dated 1/20/2016 from Martina Stotter :
"My mother was born in Strasbourg, France, December 6, 1930.
My father was born in Innsbruck, Austria, March 28, 1927.
They were married in Innsbruck Austria, in the spring of 1948.
Jean Volant was my grandfather never met him since he was divorced from Suzanne. He was a musician and travelled the French coast playing violin & clarinet in a band. l believe they divorced in 1938. He died in 1978 after being involved in a car accident and spending several years in a insanitarium.
The story l heard regarding Suzanne's husband Hindzee was that he was an officer in the French army. The marriage was arranged so that Suzanne could escape from Russia."

4. Email dated 1/6/2016 from Martina Stotter who is Suzanne's granddaughter:
"l have many great memories from Oma (Suzanne). l visited her every weekend in Menton, when l was living in Cannes. l had a great time sharing her memories and enjoying her company. She was a very educated women. She spoke 5 languages -- Russian, French, Italian, Spanish & English. In her younger years days she was a ballerina, dancing in the Bolshoi ballet in Russia, then later in Paris for the very famous Ida Rubenstein. l have a number of pictures of her dancing. The last time l saw her was in 1995, when she had been hospitalized in Sospel the same town she had been living in for 15 or so years. She did not recognize us, so conversation was very limited. It was shortly after that she passed away in 1995. She was not buried as per her wishes but cremated. Suzanne lived a very long and adventurous life. From Ballerina to Translator of secret documents in the French army, a mother, and a nurse caring for the sick. What a wonderful life, what wonderful experiences she must have had. l keep all her pictures, and letters in memory of her."
Later email from Martina provides the following dates for her parents:
Lydia Louise (Volant) Stotter -- December 6, 1930 - May 5, 2005
Albert Stotter -- March 28, 1927 - Sept 3, 1992
Email dated 25 Feb 2016 concerning Martina's recent discovery of her Jewish heritage:
"All the information l am hearing about and gathering is amazing! l never knew. As a matter of fact, l only ever heard my mother mention that we had a cousin [Alice Nikitina] that was a famous ballerina, and that her brother was a famous tennis player. l did not know her name or any other details. When l lived with my grandmother Suzanne in the south of France, she showed me pictures of her brothers and mother. The oddest thing was whenever the picture included her father his face was blacked out. l remember asking her why -- she would never answer me. She never told me her true maiden name -- not even my mother knew." 		Hindzee, Lydie (I531)
