Nr. 3-P-272, 2816, 1927 N, by Latvijas Valsts Vestures Arhivs (Latvian National Archives), Slokas iela 16, Riga, LV-1007. Complete transcript is in the notes of Edouard/Elias Ocipovitch Herzenberg and the following is but a partial transcript: "The recruits' enlistment registers of the Jewish families belonging to Pilten for 1842, 1848, 1854, 1871, the revision lists of the Jewish families belonging to Pilten, set up on August 15 of 1851, the merchant's lists of Goldingen for 1868, 1874, 1875 contain the following information about Herzenberg family (we would like to draw your attention to the fact that very often the age of person was determined by their outward appearance and was stated in some documents rather approximately): 1. Joseph Herzenberg, his sons: 1.1. Elias, son of Joseph Herzenberg, born in ca 1774 (aged 68 in 1842), died on May 22 of 1844. His wife Chiene, born in ca 1780 (aged 62 in 1842). They had children. 1.2. Chone, son of Joseph Herzenberg, born in ca 1792 (aged 50 in 1842). His wife Schore, born in ca 1792 (aged 50 in 1842). They had children. 1.3.

Nr. 3-P-272, 2816, 1927 N, by Latvijas Valsts Vestures Arhivs (Latvian National Archives), Slokas iela 16, Riga, LV-1007. Complete transcript is in the notes of Edouard/Elias Ocipovitch Herzenberg and the following is but a partial transcript: KP Note: Attachments included per my description: 1. Image of revision list of Jewish families belonging to Pilten as of Aug. 15, 1851, showing oklad (tax) numbers: #362 Jossel Lemchen Herzenberg, his sons: #363 Ruben, #364 Laser, #365 Jacob, #366 Levin, and #367 Elias. Researcher includes interpretation comment: "They were transferred from the membership of petty bourgeois oklad of Pilten to the 3rd guild merchant of Pilten in 1851." Note that incidentally on the same page separated by one large family grouping is another Herzenberg family who looks to be the original Joseph's son Chone/Elchanan with wife Schore and their sons and some grandsons. I am not sure of my deciphering the first two lines on the record, but the relationship that follows is clear: [No oklad #] [Willman? perhaps something like "Children of"?] Schore Chone Joseph Herzenberg [Their sons?] #213 Jossel Chone Herzenberg #214 Mendel Chone Herzenberg #215 Elias Chone Herzenberg #195 Gabriel Chone Herzenberg His sons, #196 Levin, #197 Salomon, #198 Hirsch, #199 Heyman Itzig..." I wrote the archives for an interpretation and their leading researcher "Schore, was a widow of Chone (son of Joseph) Herzenberg (in our report Nr. 1.2.), he was registered in the recruits' enlistment register for 1842 and 1848, he died before 1851. He had children: -Jossel (oklad Nr. 213 in the register for 1851), -Mendel (oklad Nr. 214), -Elias (oklad Nr. 219), -Gabriel (oklad Nr. 195). Since March 9 of 1851 the family of Jossel, son of Lemchen Herzenberg and the family of a widow Schore Herzenberg were registered as a merchants of 3rd guild in Pilten." 3. The Latvian Archives is online and I have reviewed all Registers for Pilten. Registers are in German and I indicate what I don't understand. I extracted all Herzenbergs of which the following excerpts apply to this family: "http://www.lvva-raduraksti.lv/en/menu/lv/13/ig/13/ie/5507/book/30313.html -Image 69: "Lemchen Joseph Herzenberg" is title of an entire return section at Pilten 22 Sep 1811 containing: -Lemgen Joseph Herzenberg, (no age) -his [brother?] Chonne Joseph Herzenberg, 18 [Has relational and other comments needing translation; most likely fraternal.] -his wife, Sorre, 18 -his daughter, Riffke, 1 -his mother, Taube, 60 [This is a big find - wife of the original Joseph.] -his [?] Lewin Wulf Edelstein, 17 -his wife, Schoene, 15 -Image 27.

Data from a copy captured of Peter Bruce Herzenberg's website of London, England, since relocated to South Africa (website is no longer functioning as of 7 Aug 2007). See more on his research and data in the notes of the earliest Herzenberg in this database. Sources for this individual is FA for Aleksandrs Feigmanis (Latvian researcher hired by Harold Hodes). In regards to this individual: Name variations: Chone (Shone), Chonne b. Joseph. FA001 shows b. 1787 in Piltene, d. abt. 1811. Peter also notes: Chone (Shone) - Yodaiken refers to Elchanan as translating to Chone. The birth dates are close, but the death date seems to indicate they wer two people. There was a Rabbi Elchanan at that time, but cannot find evidence to suggest he was a Herzenberg. 5. Courland (Kurzeme in Latvian, Kurland in German) is the historically distinct area of modern day Latvia bounded by the Baltic Sea to the west, Lithuania to the south, and the Dvina River (now Daugava) to the North. Its historic capital was Mitau (now Jelgava). It had ice-free Baltic ports with commercial and strategic importance. At its height Courland was a prosperous and cultured German-speaking Duchy. Courland was a separate Gubernia (Province) of the Russian Empire from 1797-1918. 50-60% of the Jews living in Riga just north of Courland had family roots in Courland. The names of the various towns have changed now that the area is part of Latvia (new-old as of early 1900s): Aizpute-Hasenpoth Jelgava-Mitau Kuldiga-Goldingen Liepaja-Libau Piltene-Pilten Talsi-Talsen Ventspils-Windau 6. Transcription from Peter Bruce Herzenberg's website on the Herzenberg (Website no longer active as of 2007): "The Early Herzenbergs. Joseph I appears as a patronymic only in: (1) the 1811 census as the father of Lemchen (39) born 1772 and as father of Elias (40) born 1771. (2) the Latvian Archives Appendix 1 of 1842 as the father of Elias (68) b. 1774. (3) Appendix 2 confirms this date. From this we learn that Elias and Lemchen were brothers and very close in age. Lemchen from the above was born in 1772 From the Feigmanis report, we have the 1818 list of Piltene Jews made for taxation purposes. This is numbered 96-1-433a of the Latvian State Archives. Lemchen son of Joseph appears as being 17 years old, therefore born in 1801. This represents a huge discrepancy. Elias appears as 40 years old, thus born in 1778, another new date for Elias although fairly close to those above. Also mentioned is Chone son of Joseph (the Yiddish for Elchanan and the civil name Elkan) - he appears to have been born in 1884 [Kerry's note: assume this is typo for 1784.] The question [asked of Peter Herzenberg] is: were there two contemporary Josephs borh of whom had sons named Elias and Lemchen, or is one of the dates for Lemchen patently wrong?"

In regards to this individual: Name variations: Elias "Rabbi," Eliahu b. Joseph. FA001 shows b. 1771 at Piltene Kurland, d .22 May 1844 at Piltene Kurland, wife Chiene. FA002 shows b. 1774. LA018 shows b. 1771. LA009 shows b. 1774, d. 1842. LA013 shows b. 1774, d. 1842. LA015 shows d. 22 May 1844. Also Peter notes: Elias - the records shows only one Elias H. with a son Joseph H. in Piltene at that time. All the Latvian Archive (LA) documents support the name Elias H., Rabbi II. The differences in birth and death dates appear to be discrepancies between censor dates which were three years apart. LA 015 would appear to be the most accurate document. "Appointed Rav in Pesach 1815 (teacher; also scientist; connoisseur of the Talmud)." 3. The Latvian Archives is online and I have reviewed all Registers for Pilten.

Nr. 3-H-2962, by Latvijas Valsts Vestures Arhivs (Latvian National Archives), Slokas iela 16, Riga, LV-1007, copy of only page 1 in my possession but evidently other pages exist: "In reply to your application please be informed that the recruits enlistment registers of the Jewish families belonging to the Jewish community in Pilten for the years 1842, 1848, 1854, 1871 (see app. No. 1-4), census lists of the Jewish families belonging to Pilten for the years 1898, 1899 as well as the birth records of the Jewish community in Libau (now Liepaja) for the years 1836-1853, 1854, 1857-1905, marriage and death recods of the same community for years 1854-1905, as available at our archives, contain the following information: Rabbi Jossel (or Josiph) Herzenberg was a son of Elias Herzenberg from Pilten. He was born in ca 1815-1816, possible in Pilten. Since our archives keep birth, marriage and death records of the Jewish communites for the time period from 1854, when they started to be kept officially, it is impossible to confirm the dates fevore 1854.

From the publication "Latvia Sig," v. 3, no. 3, Sept. 1998, concerning the history of Piltene, Latvia: "In the beginning of the 13th century, the government of the Germanic Orders (Crusaders) was in place. in a later period of that government, the area of Piltene enjoyed a semi-independent standing, and the town Piltene was utilized as the seat of the area Bishop (the Hagmon). In the year 1559, the town and the area passed to the government of Magnus the Dane, and in the year 15585, o the government of Poland. In the beginning of the 18th century, there were 5 streets and 120 houses in the town. At the end of the century, Piltene was annexed to Tsarist Russia. During the 19th century, the population of the city tripled. gut, but the end of the century, there began a constant reduction in the number of residents. Between the two world wars, the population ratio in Piltene was about half the number of residents who lived there on the eve of the First World War. Excluding some flour mills, there were no industrial factories in the place. The Jewish settlement of Piltene is one of the oldest in Kurland. According to one version, Jews clung to the town or its surroundings in the 10th to the 17th centuries. in the same period, it will be recalled, Piltene enjoyed a special status, and following that, there was no general prohibition on Jews' settling in Kurland. In any event, there is no doubt tat during the Polish government, ad the beginning of the 18th century, there already existed a Jewish settlement in the city. The first direct witness to this was in the year 1708, and it was expressively stated that there was in place a synagogue, almost certainly the first of the synagogues of Kurland. In those years the city was destroyed in the Swedish-Polish wars, and it is possible that a portion of the Piltene Jews moved to the neighboring Hassenpoth (Aizpute). In the year 1759, Piltene is recalled as one of the Kurlander cities that allowed Jewish settlers. In the year 1782, the Jews of the city and the Church province in which the city was included Kirvenshpileh, owed a total of 76 thaler protection tax. That sum was 12 percent of the general protection tax of the Jews in the entire district. After the annexation to Russia at the beginning of the 19th century, there were 351 Jewish souls - more than half the city's population. In the 80's the Jews even had a representative on the city council. From the end of the 19th century forward, there began a constant tendency of absolute and relative reduction in the number of Jews in the locality. On the eve of the First World War, they were only about one quarter of the resident of the city. Many Pilten Jews settled in the neighboring port city of Windau (Ventspils), which quickly developed at the end of the 19th century and enjoyed a general flowering. Piltene Jews contributed a great deal to the growth and development of the Windau community...The livelihood of Piltene Jews was mainly in commerce - and thus in the industries of resin wine, innkeeping, and tailoring... In the year 1915, after the outbreak of WWI, the Jews of Piltene were expelled form the town. During the war, five Jewish Public buildings and 23 private Jewish homes were damaged. As was noted, the Jewish settlement of Piltene established a synagogue already at the beginning of the 18th century. In the beginning of 1805, the writing of the Pinkas (notebook/register) was begun. In the same year, there was already active in place a hevra kiddisha (burial society) and it had its own rabbi...The pinkas was preserved and one can glean from it the order of the community, its institutions and its regulations, as they existed at least at the beginning of the 19th century.... [In listing the various Rabbis in succession] ...Rabbi Eliahu [ben Meir] died in 1815 and according to some versions, held office in Piltene only half a year before he died. In his place came the Rabbi Eliahu ben Yosef [Herzenberg?], who began as a teacher-instructor... the Dov-Bar Hirsch - until his death in the year 1850, the Rabbi Yosef Hertzberg, who served as a teacher (morch tzedek) until 1855..." 8. Research report dated 6 Jul 1997 from Latvian researcher Aleksandrs Feigmanis, Crestes 2-12, LV-1021, Riga, Latvia, to Harold Hodes of London, England (partial copy of eight pages in my possession). Much of what he includes is from the Recruit Enlistment Registers, which I do not transcribe since I have it already directly from the source. Three pages are tombstone inscriptions of the Piltene Cemetery, which are now available online verbatim to what Feigmanis provided. The report focused on Harold genealogical line which descends from the original Joseph, through Rabbi Elias Herzenberg and his son Rabbi Joseph Herzenberg. I include transcripts about these Rabbis as follows (his English is rough): "In the book of rabbi Leib Owtchinski entitled "The History of Jews in Latvia" (in Yiddish) published in 1928, he wrote about your ancestor Elias Joseph Herzenberg of Pilten: "Rav Eliahu bar Joseph Hertzberg arrived (more correctly - appointed, I suppose) as more (teacher, also scientst, connaisseur of Talmud and Tora at synagogue) in Pesach 1815. In the pinkos of hevra-kadisha wrote the following: r. Eliahu b. Joseph appointed at tacher and his salary will be following: 4 roubles for a week and 3 guldens; also was appointed Joseph bar Shmuel. His son was Joseph Herzenberg." In the same book about Joseph Herzenberg, [he wrote the] following: "Joseph b. Eliahu Hertsenberg born in Pilten; he was rabbi in Pilten since 1849 till 1856; then he exchange[d] his place with rabbi mendel israelsohn and came as rabbi in Libau, where he was rabbi during 25 year[s]; he died there in 1882..." Mr. Feigmanis also found documents in German regarding the appointment of Jossel Elias Herzenberg as rabbi in Libau: "The Libau magistrat wrote in Courlande provincial adminstration (Nov. 3, 1859). "Relating to your order of October 15 nr: 2451 regarding election of rabbis and appointing of rabbies we inform that in the Bezirk (district) of this magistrat served only one rabbi called Jossel Elias Herzenberg and he was appointed by provincial administration of Courlande November 14, 1855 by the order number 3861, after he concluded the contract with the Jewish community of Libau, he was elected for three years. During this 3 years he cannot to refuse to fullfill his obligations. (LSHA, 95-2-1440-4)" "LHSA; 96-2-1440-51" is a copy of the contract for which I make some minor syntax corrections: "The Contract. Today the contract was concluded between Libau Jewish commmunity and Jossel Elias Herzenberg, registered in Pilten. 1. Libau Jewish community engages Jossel Elias Herzenberg for the post of Libau rabbi for the following dates: from January 1, 1860 till January 1, 1863 with yearly salary of 180 silver roubles. This salary must be paid each month from the "cassa" of the community. 2. Rabbi obtains free residence in a house, owned by the Libau Jewish community; the community will repair the house. 3. For records produced by the rabbi in the book of vital statistics, he will obtain for each birth 10 kopeks, for marriage 50 silver kopeks, for divorce 50 silver kopeks, and for "chalitze" 75 kopeks. 4. For marriage ceremony the rabbi obtains "rechasch," it means 1-1/4% of the dowry; for each marriage 3 silver roubles; for appointment of the "swore" 1 silver rouble; for each chalitze 1 silver rouble. The representatives must help in obtaining these fees. They must also watch that noboby comes into the house of rabbi without permission so that the rabbi does not lose his money. 5. The rabbi takes obligation to fulfil all religious and state laws; to take particular attention for keeping peace, order tranquility and morality inside of the community and read each shabbat lections... The salary will be paid when rabbi starts his service. This contract composed in two exemplars; Libau, January 14, 1860. President of Community. H.M. Nachman and D. Friedmann. Rabbi of Libau.

Transcription from Peter Bruce Herzenberg's website on the Herzenberg (Website no longer active as of 2007): "The Early Herzenbergs. Joseph I appears as a patronymic only in: (1) the 1811 census as the father of Lemchen (39) born 1772 and as father of Elias (40) born 1771. (2) the Latvian Archives Appendix 1 of 1842 as the father of Elias (68) b. 1774. (3) Appendix 2 confirms this date. From this we learn that Elias and Lemchen were brothers and very close in age. Lemchen from the above was born in 1772 From the Feigmanis report, we have the 1818 list of Piltene Jews made for taxation purposes. This is numbered 96-1-433a of the Latvian State Archives. Lemchen son of Joseph appears as being 17 years old, therefore born in 1801. This represents a huge discrepancy. Elias appears as 40 years old, thus born in 1778, another new date for Elias although fairly close to those above. Also mentioned is Chone son of Joseph (the Yiddish for Elchanan and the civil name Elkan) - he appears to have been born in 1884 [Kerry's note: assume this is typo for 1784.] The question [asked of Peter Herzenberg] is: were there two contemporary Josephs born of whom had sons named Elias and Lemchen, or is one of the dates for Lemchen patently wrong?" 4. Website of Peter Bruce Herzenberg of London, England (since relocated to South Africa). Website is no longer functioning as of 7 Aug 2007: "In the case of the Herzenbergs the starting point is the family information that Alexandrs Feigmanis found in the Censuses from 1811 and 1815. from 1811 we have Eliahu the son of Joseph b. 1771, from 1815 we have Lemchen the son of Joseph b. 1772. Also from 1815 we have Levin (Leib) son of Lemchen b. 1798. As a generation is usually considered to be between 25 and 30 years on average the latter Lemchen (the father) would have been born around 1768 - 1773. My conclusion was that both Lemchens were called after a common grandfather and made him the apex of the family." "Leonardo H. introduced Lemchen as his starting point and gives a birth date of 1790. This by itself is correct as the tree can start with anyone or usually with the earliest known person. This entry has unintentionally shrouded an otherwise obvious fact, and the clue is there. Leonardo makes no mention of Osher! We know by his grave, that Lemchen existed as well as a second Lemchen, his brother known as Osher, Lemel (Lemchen) b Joseph. It is the birth date of the second Lemchen that Leonardo records, but attaches this to the first Lemchen, hence unintentionally confuses the two when later viewed in this context. Based purely on the assumption that the entry was correct, Len Yodaiken was forced to introduce other entities by the process of extrapolation as explained above. In other words, if the son's name mentions his father by name, then you need to enter that person, even if there are no records to prove his existence. Common sense really! This resultant duplication of the Josephs who by Len's own calculations were born in 1695, 1745 & 1748 respectively, splits the family into two definite branches at a point prior to any known records, namely from the supposed Joseph born 1695. In order for the two later grandsons named Joseph (1745 & 1748) to appear he had to invent their fathers and hence we have another duplication in the name Lemchen and Elias, both shown as born around 1720, allowing for the rule of thumb of 25 years when working backward for the previous generation. The physical records show only one Joseph born in 1750~ which accounts for the 1745 & 1748 as being the same person. To reiterate, since Leonardo makes no reference to Osher in his records, he could not have known he had misplaced Lemchen. Now with two proven Lemchens, if put into the right date order, many things become apparent. Immediately, Len's need for extrapolation becomes redundant as all the fathers are already present in the tree. This causes Joseph of 1695 and his 'supposed' sons Lemchen and Elias of 1720 to exit from the tree. Importantly all known names now fit the tree. More importantly, this changes the position entirely, making for one trunk...hence demonstrating that we are descendant from one family after all." 5. Courland (Kurzeme in Latvian, Kurland in German) is the historically distinct area of modern day Latvia bounded by the Baltic Sea to the west, Lithuania to the south, and the Dvina River (now Daugava) to the North. Its historic capital was Mitau (now Jelgava). It had ice-free Baltic ports with commercial and strategic importance. At its height Courland was a prosperous and cultured German-speaking Duchy. Courland was a separate Gubernia (Province) of the Russian Empire from 1797-1918. 50-60% of the Jews living in Riga just north of Courland had family roots in Courland. The names of the various towns have changed now that the area is part of Latvia (new-old as of early 1900s): Aizpute-Hasenpoth Jelgava-Mitau Kuldiga-Goldingen Liepaja-Libau Piltene-Pilten Talsi-Talsen Ventspils-Windau 6.

As of 4 Dec 2011, the Latvian Archives maintains a digital database online of some of their documents, which they entitle "Raduraksti." One of these documents is the revision lists for Piltene of 175 images. It seems to be from about 1811 to 1817. Images 172 and 173 has a list of individuals from about 1816/17 on which I find the name "Lemchen Hertzenberg." No other Herzenbergs found on these two pages. I can't translate the page but there is a several columns with various numbers. MARRIAGE: 1. Date and place are unsubstantiated guesses only by Kerry Petersen. SOURCES_MISC: 1.

There is a discrepancy on the reported children of this individual, which is probably resolved in the the next note after this one: A. Nina Kossman reports four children: Boruch, Elias, Itzig, and Abraham. B. Leo Herzenberg reports instead the following children: a. Isak, b. Libava, Latvia. b. Bernhard, b. Lodz, Poland. He had one son David. c. Samuel, b. Libava, Latvia. He had a son Leo Herzenberg who was born in South Africa. He in turn had a son Winston who was also born in South Africa but living 1986 to 1996 in North York, Ontario, Canada. The info on this family is per a letter from Winston to Leo dated 26 Feb 1996. d. Eduard. 6. Per email dated 21 Aug 2010 from Len Yodaiken "Jewish genealogy is complex in many ways and I was very happy to receive the tree page that Nina sent me. If you look at the right hand side of it you will see the children of Lasar and Lippe are Boruch. Elias, Itzig and Abraham. If you look at my tree, page 17, you will see that Leyser (spelt differently) had Bernard, Edward and Isaac. Had I found dates for them I am sure that they would have varied also from those of the archives. So what do we learn from this? Firstly that spelling is never consistent, next that the children where given Jewish names at birth, but as the family assimilated into the Germanic culture of Kurland they adapted their names accordingly. We do not know what happened to Abraham or perhaps you do, my guess is that he was one of the fatal cases of infantile mortality so rampant at that time and lastly, Jews never gave the correct years of birth but tried by very many means to make the child much older or younger than he actually was in order to get round or postpone the hateful military draft." A follow-up email from Ron Lapid "- Itsig is definitely the Yiddish for Isaac. - Boruch (often written "Baruch") is Hebrew. You need to take into account that not all Hebrew names had an automatic translation. If Baruch also had a German name (very likely in Latvia) it would probably be one that had similar sounds like Bernard. - Elias is already a Germanic form of Eliahu (Elijah). But it is very Jewish and so if he wanted a less Jewish name Edward could be one of the logical choices. So all in all I would agree that there is a very high likelihood that all these names relate to the children of Lazar/Leyser. (His Hebrew name was undoubtedly Eliezer)." Prior to these emails, I had listed Isak separately from Itzig, Bernhard separately from Boruch, and Elias separately from Edward - but I have since combined them. 7.

She was a daughter of a Hereditary honorary citizen Eduard Herzenberg and his wife Rebecka, née Herzenberg. According to her Latvian passport Eugenia was a German, and her religion - Evangelical Reformed. Her husband Leonhard (Leonard) Taube was born on January 27 (Julian calendar) of 1869 in Mitau (now Jelgava) (date of circumcision - February 3) (see his photo from the Latvian foreign passport issued in 1930). He was a son of a Hereditary honorary citizen of Mitau, pharmacist, merchant Robert (Ruben, Rudolf) Taube and his wife Henrietta (Jetta), née Jacobsohn. Leonhard Taube was baptized in the Evangelical Reformed church in Vilno (now Vilnius) on February 8 of 1904. For a long time Robert Taube was a member of Mitau town Board. In 1903 Leonhard Taube left for Moscow. He knew German, Russian and Latvian languages. Leonhard Taube had at least five brothers. The marriage of Leonhard Taube and Eugenia Herzenberg was registered in Moscow and blessed by deputy superintendant, pastor of the Evangelical Reformed church Michail Yastrzhembsky on February 8 of 1904 in Vilna. In 1920 Leonard and Eugenia appealed to Latvian Optation commission in Moscow for Latvian citizenship, they became the Latvian citizens on May 19 of 1921. However due to changes of the law of optation they were not recognized as Latvian optants. On August 20 of 1924 Leonard and Eugenia Taube returned to Latvia. They had no children. They lived in Riga at Brivibas Street 2, apt. 13. In 1925 Leonhard and Eugenia Taube became Latvian citizens. Since July 14 of 1932 they lived in Riga at Stabu Street 45, apt. 26 (previous address - Brivibas Street 2, apt. 14). There is a note in the house register dated November 6 of 1941 that Leonard Taube died (date of death is not stated). There is no information that Eugenia moved to any other place, there is a note about reregistration at the same address dated November 8 of 1943...

The following is a partial transcription from a lengthy biography entitled: "Sketches from my Life Especially of my Youth. By Isidorus Brennsohn, M.D." See the notes for Isidorus in this database for a full transcription of the 138 page manuscript as provided to me by Nina Kossman, a descendant of Brennsohn. The following excerpt has a reference to the Taube family in Mitau, Courland, where Isidorus was born and was later a doctor. Evidently, Julius Taube roomed with him when he was away from Mitau during his medical studies. Isidorus married a Herzenberg. I am not sure if there is any relationship between the Taube family of Mitau and this particular Taube. The reference: "My undisturbed and happy solitude was soon to come to an end. The Taube family in Mitau, whom I esteemed highly, came to me with the request to take in their son Julius, my erstwhile pupil, now a disciple [student of] in medicine, as a roommate. Since the apartment I was living in was too small for two people, I rented another apartment in Petersburg Street, where until shortly before my Rigorosum I roomed with Julius Taube, who later became an esteemed physician in Moscow, Since I now absolutely had to be alone, to be able to work for the exam, Taube moved to another apartment... My roommate of that time was the already noted Julius Taube, a well-brought-up, very kind and pleasant fellow student. At home he was quiet and introverted, and he didn't thaw out till company came. In general he was solid and industrious, but once a month he took off. When he got money from home that was meant for the entire month, he went out, didn't come back till the next morning and was then broke the entire month..." BIOGRAPHY: 1. No children. 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. Manuscript in possession of Michael Landau of Monte Carlo as of 18 Sep 2023. Family history memories of Alice Landau also known as “Nikitina,” who was the sister of Vladimir Landau and the daughter of Anna Herzenberg. Translation is from French from two handwritten pages on one sheet of paper. Patrick Landau, Nikitina’s nephew, had asked her to write down what she recalled of the family history and descendants. The description is written after January 1970 because she writes that Constantin-Pierre died in January 1970. Editorial comments are [bracketed]. “[Page 1] My father’s side: The father of my father was called Adolphe and he was born I think at Czenstohova (Poland) in 1830; he married around 1953 [misstated for 1853] my grandmother, who was named Régine. They had 4 sons and one daughter. The eldest son (1855) was Julien (Julian) born in Czenstohova who married Fanny Schaskolski, born in Riga in 1863 [handwriting garbled, may be 1865]. They had 2 sons: The youngest one Constantin-Pierre, born in Petersburg in 1893, married in 1912 with Miss Banzer had a son Youri (George) born in 1914 who is married and lives in Toulouse [France]. He had 2 sons. Constantin-Pierre remarried to Miss Tronsevitch and again another time [his third]. He died in Belgium in January 1970. The first son of Julien, Theodor was born in 1890. He married a woman from Vienna in 1943 and had a daughter. Theodor died in 1965. The second son of Adolph, Gustave was born in Czenstohova and went to the USA before the war in 1914. He had 7 sons and one daughter. I know 3 sons: Adam was born in Warsaw in 1892, Rom[?] born in Warsaw in 1894 and Walter born in New York in 1906. I don’t know the others. The third son, my father Maximilian was born April 1st 1870 in Czenstohova and died in Odessa in 1919 (added in between lines). He married Anne Herzenberg in 1899, born in 1978 [miswritten, 1878] in Moscow and had a daughter Alice-Régine [Nikitina] born in 1900 February 21st and Vladimir born in 1902 March 29 both in St. Petersburg. Vladimir, your father, married in 1945 with Miss Janine Regnard born in 1916 in Paris and you were born at Boulogne s/Seine [Boulogne-sur-Seine] September 5, 1945. The 4th son of Adolph – Stanislas was born in 1876 at Lodz. He was married to Miss Lidia ? and had 3 sons: John born in 1905, Bronislav born in 1907 and Anton born in 1914. Stanislas and Lidia were killed in Poland. Their sons were living in France. The daughter of Adolph: Evelyn was born in 1878 at Lodz (Poland) and married a Russian general Avinovitzki in 1903. Both are dead, I don’t know where or when. The only living parent [relative] that I know of is Nicolas Landau, antiquary in Paris who is the son of my father’s cousin. He is 80 years old and I think he can give more information on the Landau family! My mother’s side: The father of my mother was named Edouard Herzenberg. He was born around 1845 and died in 1910 in Moscow. He was married, but I think the name of my grandmother was Herzenberg too. She died in 1904 in Moscow. They had 7 daughters and 2 sons: 1) Sophie, the eldest born in 1863, married had 2 daughters Marie and Nadia. Nadia is dead and Marie lives in Moscow. She is married and has a married daughter, who has a daughter. [Page 2] 2nd daughter Elizabeth born in 1865 in Moscow, married Adolph Werblovsky and had a daughter Catherine who married in 1913 Victor Buzkoy who died in England in 1945. Their son Arik was born in St. Petersburg in 1914, he is married to Julie and has a son and a daughter and lives in Malta. Catherine lives in Nice. Elisabeth died in Nice in 1950 and Adolph in 1938. 3rd daughter Hélène born in 1867 Moscow, married Ossip Offenbacher and had a son Lothar born in 1896. Hélène died in 1919 in Berlin and Ossip later. Lothar disappeared in Germany. 4th daughter Egenie [Eugenia] married Leon Taube from Riga and was born in 1876 in Moscow and died in 1930 in Moscow. No children. 5th daughter Lilia: born in 1877, died in 1897 in Davos. 6th daughter Anne: my mother born in 1878 married Maximillian Landau in 1898 and had 2 children Alice born on Feb. 21, 1900, and Vladimir March 29, 1902. Maximillian Landau died in Odessa in 1919 (January) and Anne died in 1961 in Monte-Carlo. 7th daughter Antoinette: born in 1885 and died in 1905. 1st son Ivan: born in 1870 married Lidia (French) in 1898 and had 3 children: Michel born in 1900, André born in 1901 and Susan born in 1903.

André had a son and Susan married a Volant, a daughter Lidia married in Canada to an Austrian man. She has a son and daughter. 2nd son Paul: born in 1872 married to Natalie, one daughter. Lives in Moscow.” | Taube, Leon or Harry (I1066)

| 1920 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Arda M. Haenzel, "Mormons in San Bernardino" (San Bern. County Museum Association, 2024 Orange Tree Lane, Redlands, CA 92374; Quarterly Volume 39 no. 3, Summer 1992): "There was an earlier, unofficial burial ground in San Bern. in the 1850's before Pioneer Cemetery was established by the city in 1857. Diaries of Mormon residents refer to individuals, many of them children who died and were buried there. But the early burial ground was abandoned, and the location and even its existence were forgotten until it was uncovered in 1990 during preparation of a playing field in Seccombe Lake State Park, across 7th Street from Pioneer Cemetery. A study was made, but it was impossible to identify any of the individuals involved, for nothing remained to distinguish them. So in January 1992, San Bernardino reverently reburied the unknown early residents in a common grave in Pioneer Cemetery. A historic plaque marks the site near the 9th Street entrance." [There is a good chance this could be the final resting place of "Mrs. Winner." Another note as to the location of the "cottonwood grove" where the Winners were first to settle is in a brochure produced in San Bernardino on the history of various City Historical Markers: "#25 Pioneer Cemetery. The site of the Pioneer Cemetery was first occupied around 1851 by the homes of several pioneers who preferred not to join the rest of the Mormon settlement in the Stockade. It eventually became a burial site with no responsibility for care...Evidently by 1867 a fence had been built to enclose the plot, for the San Bernardino Guardian deplored the fact that cattle had been getting through it, trampling the graves, and knocking over and breaking the gravestones by rubbing against them." Other books indicate that the Pioneer Cemetery was bought by the city in 1857 and may have been established around 1851. "San Bernardino Valley 1847-1857, History and Tour" (So. California Sesquicentennial Commission, 1997) say that the first early settlers [pre-1853?] were probably buried in an unmarked cemetery thought to be located a half mile N.E. of the fort, adjacent to where the first documented cemetery is located. A few artifacts unearthed during an excavation of this formerly unknown cemetery are on display in the California Room at the Norman Feldhym Library in San Bernardino. Richard C. Tobey's "Seccombe Lake Burials" for the S.B. Parks and Rec. Dept indicates that the Sexton's records were destroyed by fire in 1886, however the S.B. Valley Genealogical Society reconstructed records from 1880's to 1926 in 1970.] 2. Some earlier family group sheets list first name of Mary Ann; however, I believe this is incorrect based upon the information below under Biography. 3. Daughter Deborah Adalade named a daughter Hannah Elizabeth which may be because of her mother and sister. 4. Censuses: 1830 US: New Jersey, Monmouth County, Dover Township, P.374: George K. Winner, 1 M 20-30, 2 F Under 5, 1 F 15-20. [Probably George, his wife, and Mary Ann and Elizabeth]. Note: Other Winners in NJ census: Abby Winner, Gloucester Co., Egg Harbor Twp., p.198; Isaac Winner, Sussex Co., Green Twp., p.187 [note: there are two Isaacs listed with exactly same info]; Samuel Winner, Burlington Co., Evesham Twp., p.84. Further research needed to reconstruct Winner families in New Jersey. Dover township is now part of Ocean County since 1850. 1840 US: New Jersey, Monmouth County, Dover Township, FHL film 016518: George K. Winner, Males (Ages: 1@under 5, 3@20-30, 1@30-40), Females (2@Under 5, 1@5-10, 1@10-15, 1@20-30), Four listed as Coastal Sailors. [Supposition: George was one of the "20-30" males and an "Ocean" sailor, the other three were sailing associates or relatives, the boy was Moroni [under 5], George's wife [20-30], Mary or Elizabeth [10-15; but why only 1 listed?], Louisa [5-10], Emmajean and possibly an unknown daughter [2@under 5: this is confusing - was there another unknown girl who died before the Ship Brooklyn sailing thus explaining the large gap of 6 to 7 years in childbirths?]. 1850 US: No record; San Francisco's portion of US Census was lost due to earthquake or fire. 1852 US: California Statehood Census, Los Angeles County (pre-San Bernardino), p. 143; note this census began June 1852 in this county with county wide results of 7831 total residents of which 2494 were white males and 1597 were white females. It's preface to the state compilation says that only about 5 in every 6 were counted due to the frontier and mobile nature of the population. Note that the second location is last residence. George K. Winneo, 46, N.J., Utah, Farmer Hanna, 46, N.J., Utah Mary Ann, 23, N.J., Utah Emojine, 15, N.J., Utah Moroni, 10, N.J., Utah Israel, 8, N.J., Utah Adalade, 7, Cal., Cal. This census is important and invites several interesting comments as follows: i. No David Frederick [Mary Ann's future husband] even though he had moved to S.B. at least by 22 Mar 1852 where the colony clerk notes him making a payment to the colony. Mary Ann living at home unmarried, yet her daughter Georgiana will be born within 6 months or less. This lends credence to Daisy Van Wagoner's grandfather's [Mary Ann's great grandson] handwritten note that Georgiana's father was not David Frederick but a possible "George Oakley" [or a variation thereof since he slightly misspells other names on the note]. There is no such individual yet found in my research for either San Bern. or San Fran. or from 1860/70 censuses of adjoining states; however, there is a merchant George Oakes in 1851 in S. Fran. just a couple of blocks from where Winner's property was in 1846 in Bancroft's History - could he have fathered the child out of wedlock or a quickly annulled marriage in early March 1852 perhaps leading to George's removal of his family 3 Mar 1852 from San Fran. to San Bern. She was married to David Frederick by 1 May 1854 since she is mentioned in Amasa Lyman's journal as the wife of David; he was twice her age which may be explained perhaps by marriage to a woman with an out-of-wedlock child. This is merely conjecture on my part at this point and Georgiana may just have been a premature baby who did in fact die six months after birth and the marriage of David and Mary Ann may have in fact preceded conception. ii. Some of the info seems close but suspect and may have been given by a neighbor; they had not lived in Utah, the WINNEO misspelling of WINNER, and the ages vary: Adalade's age would mean she was born in 1845 before arriving in CA in 1846, Moroni's age is at variance to the 1870 census, etc. iii. Mother's name listed as "Hanna" which coincides with P.P. Pratt's diary entry of "Hanna P. Winner". 5. Last name "Hannah" is indicated in the cemetery record of daughter Mary Ann Winner as her mother's maiden name. Record unclear whether or not this was a first or last name. Handwritten note of Daisy Van Wagoner's grandfather who was great-great grandson to this individual through Cynthia Frederick left a confusing and unclear note that George Winner's wife may have been known as Mandy in San Bernardino [or it could be a reference to the last born child Amanda]. The name Hannah Winner also appears on the Ship Brooklyn's Passenger Manifest of 22 Jul 1846 in Honolulu, Hawaii. Mother's name listed as "Hanna" in 1852 California census which coincides with "Autobiography of Parley. P. Pratt" misspelled entry of "Hannah Wimmer."

I made her a silk dress and she rewarded me for that also very liberally. We received presents from several of the brethren there Brother John Robins and wife, Capt Everet from Boston, he is rather sceptical with regard to religious opinions, but his wife is a member of the church. They gave us quite a quantity of crockery and 3 smo[o]thing irons. The capt is a lively agreeable sort of a man, we made them a visit on Sunday the 8th [Sep. 1850] in company with br and siter Skinner and sis Robins. They made us a good dinner, and wished us many good wishes. I found she was acquainted with several of my acquaintances in the vally, and upon the whole we had a very agreeable time and returned in season to attend meeting at Winners, br [Charles C] Rich was there, he happily arrived just in time to bid us farewell. Sister [Ruth] Morey I found to ba a good saint, also sister [Theodore] Thorp I was pleased with. Suffice it to say I enjoyed myself remarkaly well in Francisco, the monday succeeding the meeting at Winners I spent at Fa- Morey's. Tuesday returned to Winner baked me some bread and cakes, call at Dr. Jones with sis Corwin and took dinner..." 9. "Daily Enquirer," Sept. 9, 1896. The people she saw in vision would be her biological mother Mary Ann Winner and her daughter Charlotte Ann Ferris; the "grandma" may have been Hanna ( ) Winner, wife of George King Winner or perhaps a nickname for Jane Wells Cooper Hanks, her adoptive mother who had just recently died a few months earlier. It is also interesting to note that Martha had a testimony of her LDS religion which counters the perception that her adoptive mother Jane Hanks was apostate. The obituary: "Death at Marysvale. Editor Enquirer. Marysvale, Utah, Aug. 31, 1896 -- I write to inform the relatives and friends of the death of Martha C. Ferris, my wife, at this place on August 24, at 6:25 p.m. Her illness was nervous debility, caused by prolapsus-uteri, which took her away in some ten days sickness. She leaves her husband and five children to mourn the great loss of wife and mother. In her last hours she gave the strongest testimony of her failth in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, and, arousing at times, would say, "Oh what white robes there are in heaven that I am going to wear. I am going to my dear little Lottie and grandma, and my own real mother. They are here. See! See!" and many other expressions that showed that she was crossing the river to that land of eternal day. Sister Ferris was the daughter of David Frederick of the Mormon Battalion, and was born at the Mobava [Mojave] in California. Her mother died, leaving her in the care of Jane W. Hanks, the wife of Ebenezer Hanks, when she was only thirteen months old. The name by which she was known was Martha Hanks." 10. How does Hanna P. Johnston fit in. Birth records are non-existent in Monmouth Co., NJ, so we may never be able to fully prove her parents. The name Johnston, or its variant Johnson, is a very prominent name in Toms River. George Winner's mother was Naomi Johnston/Johnson who married his father Isaac Winner. I have done considerable work on Naomi and her family. They were in the area for at least three generations including Naomi's. Each generation had lots of children, so the process of sorting out the many Johnsons is difficult. Naomi's parents were William Johnson/Johnston and Elizabeth Longstreet. The couple had ten children. Many of the Johnsons left wills, which helped me in the past put together William and Elizabeth's family. I suspect Hanna P. may be the daughter of one of Naomi's siblings. Looking at her brothers, and building out their families, I theorize that Hanna P. may have been George King Winner's first cousin by very possibly being a child of Naomi's brother Joseph Johnson and Hannah Phillips, who married March 27, 1803. Hanna P.'s middle name may be "Phillips." She may have been named after her mother. Joseph left a will dated in 1861, but there is no mention of Hanna (Johnson) Winner or her children. Hanna of course died in 1853 before her father, and she was in California, which may explain why there is no mention of her children. Richard Kuntz's research provided: Website http://mysite.verizon.net/vze3sbrn/Benjamin.htm accessed 19 Nov 2011, "Geneology Information - Applegates of Ocean County, New Jersey," prepared by Richard Kuntz, Allenwood, NJ < richard.kuntz@verizon.net> (Updated - 1/2018); source abbreviations are explained on the website: "Joseph Johnson (William, Benjamin) Joseph's will was dated 12/2/1861 and probated 1/22/1863 and recorded in BK I p. 219 in the Ocean County Hall of Records. The will records the following: Sarah - wife, Richard - son, Samuel - grandson (son of son Joseph deceased), William - son, Andrew - son, Charles - son, Samuel - son, Phineas - son, Timothy - son, George W. - son, Acsa - dau (wife of Ivins D. Wilbur), and Lydia - dau (wife of Vincent Brand). Joseph was enumerated in the Census of 1850 as a resident of Dover Township. The listing indicated a household consisting of Johnson, Joseph (70, M, coal dealer), Sally (54, F), and Grins, Margaret (13,F): Value: $3,000 Joseph was listed in the Census of 1860 as a resident of Dover Township. The listing indicated a household consisting of Johnson, Jos. (79, farmer) and Sarah (67). Joseph Johnson, b. 1780, d. 1862; m. (1) Hannah Phillips (daughter of Richard Phillips) b. ?, d. ? (2) Sarah ? b. ?, d. ? Issue: -Richard (1815-2/23/1868); m. (1/31/1835) Deborah Layton -Joseph (?-ca. 1861); m. (3/21/1825) Zylphia Emmons (? - ?) -William (1810-3/18/1877) -Andrew (?-1877); m.

Vincent Brank (? - ?)" This data was entered into FamilySearch and enhanced. I perceive a potential gap in their births for 1805 to 1809. Hanna's birth can be dated from 1806 to 1809 from both the Ship Brooklyn's Passenger Manifest and the 1852 CA census. Another interesting coincidence is that George K. Winner's mother, Naomi Johnson, then remarried to Aaron Bennett, was living next door to Joseph and Hannah Johnson in the 1830 US for Dover, Monmouth, New Jersey: Joseph Johnston, males: 1@5-10, 2@10-15, 2@15-20, 1@20-30, 1@40-50; females: 1<5, 1@5-10, 1@20-30, 1@40-50. Neighbors include Aaron Bennett, next door, age 70-79, and Aaron's wife Naomi Johnson aged 50-59. Naomi was the sister to Joseph Johnston. This is only a working theory and there is no smoking gun to prove it, but hopefully it might help direct our research. She could of course be the daughter of one of Naomi's other siblings, but she seems to fit best with Joseph. In any case, Hanna P. having a maiden surname of Johnson/Johnston narrows the search in Toms River. She would have to be George's cousin to some degree with that name within one to two generations of Johnsons going back. BIRTH: 1. Per Ship Brooklyn's Passenger Manifest as of 22 Jun 1846: Hannah Winner, age 37. 2. Maiden name of Johnston is found in the 1904 Washington State marriage register of her daughter Deborah Adelaide Winner when she married William L. Frost. She is listed as Hannah P. Johnston. Here is the link: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-99CT-1CCY?i=108&cc=1534448 DEATH: 1. San Bernardino was part of Los Angeles county until 1853 when it became San Bernardino County. 2. San Bernardino branch records, diary of Amasa Lyman, and many individual journals [LDS Church Archives] make no mention of births or deaths of hardly any individual in the Branch including this individual. Deaths were relatively common and unfortunately were not well noted. No record exists among vital records of San Bernardino County or of the State of California. Death date given comes from family group sheets of descendants but are not independently confirmed. Note that there are three variations on the birth date of her youngest daughter Amanda which would impact death date of Hanna: 1852, 1853, and 1854; tombstone and obituary state 1853 whereas ward record shows 1854 [with baptismal date of 12 Sep 1862] and burial record says 1852.

Inscription of memorial plaque at Pioneer Cemetery (space 3N, lot 20, block 23) upon which the "Ship Brooklyn" bronze plaque was placed and the gravesite for Hanna P. Winner was rededicated 8 Sep 2001 by Kerry Petersen: "Beneath this ground lie the earthly remains of twelve of the founding settlers of the City of San Bernardino, six adults (three women and three men), one adolescent, and five children. Their resting places were discovered in the summer of 1989 in the original Mormon Cemetery located on the south side of seventh street between Waterman and Sierra Way. They and their companions laid the foundations for this great city. We honor their sacrifice, their pioneer courage, and their historical leadership, yet their names are known only to God. Reinterred - Jan. 18, 1992." It is believed by me that burial #7 of this group is Hanna and possibly one of children could be her grandchild Georgiana. Cemetery located at 211 E. 9th St., San Bernardino, CA 92410; administrator: Dan Ustation; phone 909-885-6385, fax 909-885-6385. The cemetery is noted as starting in 1852, but this is incorrect; actual date is about late 1850's and at the time of the Mormon departure from San Bernardino in 1857, the original Mormon cemetery across the street was forgotten and used as a dump. Records of the newer Pioneer Cemetery were burned at one point and early records are non-existent. | Johnston, Hanna P. (I1868)

LDS IGI reports a member submitted additional child to John Jones and Amy Phelps named David Jones b. ca 1754 with absolutely no other information. I have found no other reference to a David in any other record. I suspect that the estimated date of 1754 for the unproven David was selected by the contributor since it fell into a gap between known birth dates of 1752 and 1756. If one accepts Eunice as a daughter of John and Amey as do I in 1750, then the known child Samuel Jones only fits in with a birth of 1754 [the Hebron records do not have his birth recorded like the other children.] All the other Hebron records have children born from 1748 to 1760 in two year increments with no entry for 1754. There is a possibility Samuel was born from 1762 to 1765 or after 1767 since there is also a big gap from known children's births of 1760 and 1767. The censuses below don't seem to support an older Samuel except the 1810; however, that census shows Samuel married with children before his marriage of 1817. There is a however a burial for a Samuel Jones in East Hartland as noted below that would indicate an age old enough to have fought in the Rev. War. BURIAL: 1.

There is a birth of a Charles Jones in Hebron, CT, 27 Nov 1760, son of John Jones & Amey Phelps. The Revolutionary War Stone has a death year of 1853 not 1852, this would make the age and birth date a better match.

Mentioned in father's will per typewritten copy on file of "Will of Roger Brown" found in the research files of Enid Beagley Willardson who is now deceased. It notes: "Copied from the original will of Roger Brown on file in the office of the Judge of Probate for Laurens County, S.C. in Bo No. 4, pkg. No 7." I think there is also a copy of this will in the Laurens County Public Library. Duncan's creek is in the northeast portion of Old Laurens District. It does say it was written in 1810 which is evidently a typo since according to the book "Laurens County, South Carolina Wills, 1784-1840," by Colleen Elliott, p. 177, the will was written in 1818; this makes better sense since some of the children mentioned were born after 1810 through 1817. Same book also mentions "24 Mar 1826. Appraisal of estate of Rodger Brown, dec'd of Laurens Dist. by Thos. Craig, James Farebourn and Moses Leek." The will: "Know all men by these presents that I Roger Brown on Dunkins Creek in Laurens District and state of south Carolina Being not in perfect health But of perfect mind and memory and knowing the mortality of my Bodey Do make and ordain this my Last will and testement and first as I Gave all my children thats mary'd as much of my Good and Chattles at said time of their marrage as I could well aford It is now my will that each of them shall posses no more of my Remaining propertey than one shilling each excepting my Daughter Elizebeth which shall have twentey five Dollars as soon as posible after a young horse I have and Desiers to be sold as soon after my Decease as posible or in Case I should sell said horse before my Dease [decease] and send her what I think Right in that case shee shall have but one shilling my Daughter Lydia one shilling, Anney one shilling, Judey one shilling Rebecke one shilling Marey one shilling Terebey (?) one shilling mattey one shilling I give to my sone Jesse the tract of Land thats cald his and is divided from my other Lands as follows beining where my Line crosses Lawdey hiches [Loudery Hitch?] spring Branch and Down said spring branch to Dunkins Creek thence Down said Creek to where a dich was Dug and where a fence now stands there to cross said creek and thence on a straight Line to a kickorey Corner that stands on my Line between mee and henery pits senr and at the corner of a field of mine next s'd pits house all my Land on the west side of the Designated Line on Both sides dunkins creek shall be his I Bequeath to my other two sons William and Roger all the Remainder of my Lands at their mothers Decease who is to have her thirds where shee chuses and to have the Direction of all the plantation till they come of age and when they Inherit said Lands William shall Give my Daughter Bexey one hundred Dollars and Roger when he come to Inheret the whole of his share of said Lands shall Give my Daughter Genney one hundred Dollars.

| 1929 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Article from the Gillette family file at the Windsor Historical Society by Gary Boyd Roberts entitled "Genealogies of Conn. families from the New England Historical and Genealogical Register," vol. II, Baltimore, 1983, Gen. Pub. Co., Inc., pp. 35-37: "The Brothers Jonathan and Nathan Gillett and Some of Their Descendants. Compiled by Alice Lucinda Priest, B.L., of Brookline, Mass. The descendants of the Puritan brothers Jonathan and Nathan Gillett of Dorchester, Mass., and Windsor, Conn., were and almost surely are, numerous, yet there is an interesting opportunity for much further investigation of records to identify all the lines through the genealogical reference library at 9 Ashburton Place, Boston. ...Another very important publication is the April 1939 'American Genealogist' ten-page report of John Insley Coddington, A.M., on 'Jonathan Gillett of Dorchester, Mass., and Windsor, Conn., and Mary Dolbere or Dolbiar, his Wife.' As the title indicates, its important and convincing mission was to establish the fact of the marriage and the genealogical bacground of the bride and the believed background of the groom, with no purpose of a record of descendants beyond their children... Therefore Mr. Coddington's 1939 opening statement is even more than the strongest kind of circumstantial evidence. It is as follows: 'The Parish Register of St. Andrew's Church at Colyton, co. Devon, contains the following marriage record: '1634 Jonathan Gillett & Mary Dolbiar, 29 March.' 'This is the answer to the question of the long-sought identity of Mary, wife of Jonathan Gillett, the emigrant from England to Dorchester, Mass., and settler at Windsor, Conn.' Mr. Coddington's next statement is: 'There can be very little doubt but that Jonathan Gillett was the son of the Reverand William Gillett or Gyllett, Rector of Chaffcombe, co. Somerset, who was instituted to that benefice 4 Feb 1609-10, and who died early in 1641', etc. And there are five valuable pages on the ancestry of Mr. Dolbiar (Dolbere) that should all be read. They include the Colyton baptism: '1607, Mary, d. of Rockye Dolebeere, 7 June.' '1571 Rawkey, s. of Robarte Dolber of Caddhayn, 17 August.' The marriages: '1563 Robert Dolbere of Cadden & Agnes, d. of one Samson, Hawkechurche, 26 April.' '1602 Rockye Dolber, s. of Robert Dolber of Cadhaine & Marie, d. of John Michell of Barretshaine, 10 October.' " 2. The publication "Search for the Passengers of the "Mary & John" 1630," by Burton W.

The pedigree of John Mychell below is difficult to compile for earlier generations because there were so many John Mychells in Colyton. Even the pedigree below is tentative. In the 16th century there was a Michell family in Stockland, Dorset (now Devon, 8 mi. N of Colyton), and they were no doubt related to the Michells of Colyton. In the will of John Mychell of Stockland dated 28 Mar. 1574 and proved 17 May 1574 (PCC 21 Martyn) one of the overseers was John Mychell of Colyton. This may have been the John Mychell below, who m. Emilyn Weeks in 1569. Also, George Hull of Crewkerne, Somerset m. Thomasine Mitchell 27 Aug. 1614 at Crewkerne, daughter of Robert Mitchell of Stockland. This Robert Mitchell may be the one listed as the son of James Michell in the will of John Davies of Stockland dated 10 July 1588 and proved 29 Oct. 1589 (PCC 81 Leicester). George Hull, like Jonathan Gillett, came to Dorchester, MA in 1630 or a few years later. 1. John Mychell - He possibly m. Agnes Vye, 5 Oct. 1539, Colyton, dau. of Harry Vye of Cadhayne.

For a while he occupied the farm of Michinholme, near Cadhayne. In 1605 this farm was occupied by John Michell's son-in7law, Rawkey Dolbiar, whose dau. Anne, was born in that year.

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." 3. 1 Jun 2007 http://www.penningtonresearch.org/resources/queries/2001%20Queries/June-Dec2001repliestoqueries.htm: "Query: William Pennington, b. 1740-50 NJ, d. 1812 Ashe Co., NC.

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 Ephriam Pennington. The last two named could have been his sons, brothers, uncles, or father. PP11-2, pg. 37. Wife: Joannah \\; Birth: bet 1738-1748; Other spouse: \\ Humphries Children 1.

According to James Hook as quoted below, the husband surname of "Pertune" comes from an entry for the dead, Barbara Pertune, done by nephew Michael Stoker in the Nauvoo Temple which may have been a misheard "Pennington" by the temple scribe. Hook also mentions that there is no guarantee that Peter Eller's daughter's name was even Barbara except by assumption that Stoker's baptismal work was for an aunt on his mother's name. Many family genealogists show William Pennington as Elizabeth Eller's husband, but that also is unproven. 7.

Per website http://www.ls.net/~newriver/nc/ashe1815.htm: "Ashe County, North Carolina - 1815 Tax List. Ashe County, North Carolina was formed in 1799 from Wilkes County. From 1799 until 1859, Ashe County included the most of the land now included in Alleghany and Watauga Counties, and part of what is now Avery County, North Carolina. In 1815, Ashe County was bounded by Carter County, Tennessee on the west, Grayson County, Virginia on the north, by Surry and Wilkes Counties on the east and Burke County, North Carolina on the South. This list was abstracted and totals were combined for brevity for individuals with multiple tracts of land. I abstracted this document years ago and omitted portions that I wish I hadn't now. Don't take it as absolutely accurate. Five categories are given: Name, number of acres of land, valuation in dollars, polls, and local situation or name of neighbors. I added the number of tracts of land in the consolidation process." [He did not get the parts of Ashe County that are now part of Alleghany and Watauga Counties.

Censuses: 1800 US: Ashe County, North Carolina. The total population for Ashe County, North Carolina in 1800 was 2785, including slaves. The 1800 Ashe County Census was the first for the northwestern most county in the Tar Heel State. This county was formed in late 1799 and included all of Wilkes County west of the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountain. The 977 square miles that then composed Ashe County has been further divided, first in 1849 to form Watauga County, North Carolina and again 10 years later to form Alleghany County. This record includes families who may have been living in those areas at the time. The original census was in rough alphabetic order, and this does not facilitate the research of particular communities. I include all interrelated families of this time and place to better show relationships. A word of explanation on some of these families: A. Mary and Barbara Burkett who married Peter and David Graybeal, had a father named Christian - unsure as to which is correct of the two. B. Elizabeth Eller appears to be Elizabeth Dick, the wife of Peter Eller who had just died per his probate of 1799.The one daughter is probably Mary; unsure who the two boys are since there should be three: Jacob, Henry, and George. John Eller would be Elizabeth's eldest son and married to Susannah Kerns. C. Henry Graybeal would have recently married Celia Henson and also the eldest son of [John] Peter and Christina [Wampler] Graybill who also appear to be in this same census. Note that Peter evidently had owned slaves at that time - the census does not say how many. D. One of the William Hensons could be somehow related to William Henson who marries Nancy Graybill and to Celia Henson who marries Henry Graybeal. E. The two Koons are probably brothers and are sons of Devault Koon judging from their ages. This would make them uncles to George Koons who eventually marries Mary Eller. F. James Lewis, b. abt. 1790, marries Christena Graybill in 1807 - there may be a connection with these two James Lewis. G. William Pennington marries Barbara (or Elizabeth) Eller and may be the younger of the two here listed. H. Michael Stucker is a misspelling for Michael and Catherine Eller Stoker with their three oldest children: Polly, David, and Elizabeth.

One of the two Christian Burketts is probably the parent of Barbara and Mary who married Graybeal brothers. C. James Lewis married Christina Graybill. D. The older Peter Graybill would be John Peter and Christina Wampler Graybill. The other Peter and Henry would be their sons. E. Adam Wilker could be Adam Welker, father of James Welker who later marries Elizabeth Stoker. F. Surprisingly there is no Michael Stoker who should be there unless in adjoining county. G.

Sappington and printed by the Brethren Press, Elgin, IL, FHL 973 Kzch gives background on the Dunker or the Brethren religious movement and some family ancestors as follows: Pp. 10-11: "The Brethren, frequently known as the Dunkers (from the German, tunken, to dip) from their pattern of baptizing adult believers by three separate complete immersions forward. They are distinctly different from other groups which use the term Brethren, including the Moravians, the Plymouth Brethren, the United Brethren, and the Brethren in Christ or River Brethren. In 1836 they became known officially as the Fraternity of German Baptists, which was changed in 1871 to German Baptist Brethren and in 1908 to the Church of the Brethren... these Brethren had been organized in Germany in 1708 under the leadership of Alexander Mack, a young German miller. They were influenced by the Pietistic movement of the late 17th and early 18th centuries and by the earlier Anabaptist movement, which was currently represented in Germany by the group known as Mennonites. Beginning in 1719 and for about the next fifteen years almost all of the Brethren emigrated to America, landing in William Penn's city of Philadelphia. From that port they moved west and south, primarily into the mountain valleys of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas, all of which had settlements of Brethren before 1785. They shared the German fame for agricultural skill, generally settling on limestone soil and building large bank barns to take care of their livestock. The Germans developed the Conestoga (from a stream in Pennsylvania) workhorse and the Conestoga wagon (the famed covered wagon of the American frontier)... [Information on the Brethren from] 1785 to 1865 is very limited, which was evidently the way the Brethren intended it to be... at present, a fixed principle with them, to make no communication; and that they feel hurt when interrogated respecting their society. Indeed, they have always been shy of the English, and suspicious of encroachment and exposure... [It has been observed that they] altogether neglect any records of their proceedings, and are opposed even to publishing their numbers, lest it should seem to savor of pride..." P. 15: "During the years from 1785 to 1865... [the] Brethren were engaged [in emigrating] from their homes in the Atlantic seaboard states to the new territory of the U.S. that was being opened to settlement on the west side of the Appalachian Mountains... [due to] the dissatisfaction with one's status in the present location and the call to move to new areas because 'the grass might be greener...' P. 17, 26-29: "North Carolina. Although there were Brethren living in in North Carolina at least as early as the 1740's and 1750's... none of these settlements became the basis of a permanent Brethren congregation. They usually came to an end as the result of the loss of leadership, either by death or by emigration. By the end of the 18th century, however, Brethren had established settlements in two areas which would survive across the years and become permanent congregations. The older of these settlements probably began in the 1770's in an area south of the present-day city of Winston-Salem. The Moravians had purchased a large piece of property on which they established several different communities, including Salem... In addition to the Brethren settlement known as the Fraternity congregation which developed on the south side of the Moravian territory, the Brethren also put down permanent roots before 1800 in the mountainous northwestern corner of North Carolina in Ashe County. When the first Brethren arrived in this area is not known, but certainly they were there by the 1780's, for numerous Brethren names were reported in this area in the census of 1790. The number of brethren in the settlement increased during the 1790's, and in 1801 many of them placed their names on a petition to the government of North Carolina dealing with land problems. [The petition is as follows:] 'To the Honourable House of the General Assembly. The distressed Situation in which your humble petitioners by the late Act of Assembly for the Year 1801 in the Second Section, in respect to the Land Law's is reduced: it is impossible without flowing Tears the Grievances thereof to prescribe! it is evident, that the County of Wilkes before its division, that part of it, which is called now the County of Ashe, being first inhabited with Hunters, made their living by Hunting game. Ulrick Kessler, a Dunkard Preacher coming from the North, was the first inhabitance of the Germans who bought his land for 300 £, and paid for it, and by his persuasion, drawing his congregation hither, till this Wild Country became inhabited with industrious farmers, Purchasing their land, and give their Money, Horses, Waggons and nearly all their living for their Possessions. Then this part of the Country being Granted by the Legislature unto a party of Speculators, who by their granted Authority, oppressed this people very much, to make themselves rich of their Labour. The first Settlers and Hunters could not endure to live amongst Labouring and industrious farmers, Sold their rights, moving to the West Country's, Cumberland, Kentucky, etc. The Germans who had bought their Possessions, labouring with industry, clearing Land, building Houses, Barns, planting Orchards, made Meadows, raising Stock, building Gear Mills, Saw Mills, fulling mills; that this Wild Country became fertile Utility, by the blessing of the Supreme being, who made all things; paying their taxes annually, and living peaceably and quietly in their Possessions, under the Protection of the legislature of the State; till this present juncture of the above mentioned late Act, when the Speculators Grants and Rights was broke, and the Land Office for to make Entry's upon Land was estblish'd. Some of them made Entry's upon Vacant Treasury, getting their Grants; improved it by their families, without hearing of any other Claim of any other person of persons, of their possessions till now. at the time when Wilkes County was divided, and this Country became the Name the County of Ashe, the Commissioners faithfully Purchasing Fifty Acres of Land, laying it out in Lot's, Sold them, and Builded a Court House, made a Contract for to Build the Prison, out of the Surplus of that Money, which gave the date to Conceive and bring forth a New-Birth of the infernal part of Self Interested party Speculators. Robert NaIl, Surveyor who. had undoubtedly a View of this Speculation; for the former Benefit, made him Sure of the New, that by his influence, to the Committee of this County, under a Cloak that it was beneficial for the poor inhabitance, to petition for that Law; no Sooner that Law came in existence; than he had a Store of Old Warrants, which was bought for a trifle, having the Books of Fletcher, forming a Body of party Speculators, claiming the Town Land and all the plantations within Six Miles round, near the Court House, Surveyes the Land and especially where a German lives without distinction. For this Speculators Say, they had the Oldest Warrant, it was their Right and Title, and in any Court of justice and Equity they could keep it, for the Word: previous of that date give it to them by the Said Act. and not in one clause of Said Act is left a iota of reserve, for the defence of a Labouring industrious Citizen; it is impossible that your humble petitioners can believe, that the Legislature could be so Tyrannical to pass Such Act and Law, with an intent; that Honest Citizen should be cheated and defrauded out of their property and Possessions for the Cause of a few Speculating individuals. Therefore your Humble petitioners beg the Honourable House of Assembly to take the Grievances of the foregoing Circumstances into Consideration; and Consider at first That the Established Land paid into the Treasury, and that the Grants for said Land is Lawfull and Ought to be protected. Secondly That the Warrants, with which the Speculators will Cheat and Defraud, to drive honest Citizens out of their Possessions; if they had not be revived by the late Act, being all Dead and out of date, and then to make a Conclusion for a remedy of redress. Thirdly That an Additional Act, that it the meaning of the Legislature not is, that honest Citizen should be cheated, defrauded and deprived out of their Possessions by the said Act, and that the Older Grant should be protected in any Court of justice and equity for ever in which hopes your humble petitioners is in duty bound, and will for ever pray.'

Hook, 1957, also on FHL film 896571, item 2, pp. 17-31, in speaking about Peter Eller Sr.'s [b. abt. 1746, d. 1799] estate settlement, the following quotes refer to family members involved with the settlement. Note that sons-in-law William Pennington (wife Barbara or Elizabeth Eller?) and George Koons (Mary's husband) do not show up at the estate sale of 1799 but do show up from 1809 to 1817 when the inherited land of Peter Eller is sold. Of the younger sons, Henry and Jacob appear in the later land heirship land deeds, but they would have been only minors at the estate sale of 1799. George, the youngest son, never shows up which may be indicative of an early death. The older sons- John and Peter - and the eldest daughter - Catherine Eller Stoker thru her husband Michael - show up in both 1799 and the later land deeds. Elizabeth Eller Jr., the unmarried dau. shows up only in the 1799 purchaser list buying household items as if she were preparing for an imminent marriage (see her notes for more detail on her purchases). The open-ended question of who married Elizabeth and who married Barbara is not resolved by these documents except the assurance that William Pennington was definitely a husband of one of them. There is no Bumgardner listed in the later heirship deeds but there are two listed early in the estate purchasers - Michael and Leonard - but if Elizabeth really married a Bumgardner and had a son Simeon in 1807, why is there no listing of a Bumgardner on the heirship deeds. The various quotes are as follows: "Peter Eller died before 29 July 1799 as evidenced by an entry in an old court record book found by this writer in the courthouse at Wilkesboro, Wilkes Co., NC in October 1954. It reads as follows: 'Betsey Eller and John Eller having made application for Administration on the estate of Peter Eller gave Bowers and John Koons for security who were bound in the sum of 800 pounds and qualified as the law directs.' Betsey Eller doubtless was Peter's widow and John his eldest son. The time was 1799 when Ashe County was being set off from Wilkes and the year just preceding the one in which the first federal census of Ashe Co. was taken... Three deeds in the courthouse at Jefferson, Ashe Co., NC record settlement actions on the property of Peter Eller deceased. In brief they are: 1. Deed Book M, p. 163, dated 7 July 1809 shows Peter Eller, Jacob Eller, George Koontz and William Pennington of the county of Ashe in the state of NC, heirs of Peter Eller, deceased, selling to Leonard Fantz 200 acres of land in Ashe Co. the same apparently being the tract Andrew Baker had deeded to Peter Eller 3 Aug 1789. The deed was signed by all the said heirs except William Pennington. Why Pennington did not sign is not clear. 2. Deed Book F, p. 414, dated 17 Sep 1816, shows John Eller, Peter Eller, Jacob Eller, Henry Eller, Michael Stocker (Stoker), George Koontz and William Pennington all of the County of Ashe in the State of NC, heirs of Peter Eller deceased, selling Luke White Sr. 122 acres of land located on the south fork of New River at the mouth of Rones Creek etc. This deed was signed by all the said heirs named as party of the first part in the deed except George Koontz. Why George Koontz did not sign is not clear. 3. Deed Book F, p. 83, dated 11 Feb 1817 shows John Eller, J.A. (Jacob) Eller, Henry Eller, Michael Stocker (Stoker), George Koontz and William Pennington all of the county of Ashe in the state of N.C., heirs of Peter Eller, deceased, selling to Frederick Black, 25 acres of land on the south fork of New River the land being that warranted to Peter Eller, 3 May 1793 and granted to him 27 Dec 1797. All of these heirs signed the deed. This writer believes that other heirship deeds exist probably of earlier dates and, if found, would show a Bumgardner heir. The above three deeds distributed only 347 acres of Peter Eller's estate when it appears that it consisted at his death of at least 470 acres. The Bumgardner connection is suggested in an ancient family Bible in which the birth dates of seven children of John Eller, eldest son of Peter and Elizabeth (Dick) Eller was recorded. Another birth entry in this old Bible is that of Simeon Bumgardner, born 8 Jan 1807. This child probably was a son of a daughter of Peter and Elizabeth (Dick) Eller who had marred a Bumgardner, probably James Bumgardner. The old Bible was printed in the German language at Halle, Germany in 1770 and is now in the possession of Mr. Wade E. Eller of Warrensville, Ashe Co., NC. It may be the Bible which George Michael Eller willed to his son Jacob because on page 17 is written 'Jacob Eller his Bible.' On page 15 of the vorrede or preface is also written 'The Holy Bible Peter Eller.' The only information of genealogical value in the Bible are the dates of birth of all but the youngest child, Mary, of John and Susannah (Kerns) Eller… and of Simeon Bumgarner above mentioned. The personal estate of Peter Eller was sold and an accounting reported to the Nov. 1799 court of Wilkes Co., NC by John Eller, Adr. The property, 111 individual sales, consisted of household utensils and furniture, farm yard tools and accessories, including one tomahawk, ten sheep, fifteen head of cattle, among which were a yoke of yearlings and one yearling bull, hogs, geese, bee hives, etc. The widow took a good deal of the furniture and household accessories including interestingly enough a trumpet which indicates that the early Ellers possessed musical interest. Other items taken by her were one lot of books, a chest, five head of hogs, four cows, one mare colt, two sheep, oven, hammer and anvil, and a pair of saddle bags. Other purchasers were John Eller, Peter Eller, Elizabeth Eller Jr., Michael Stucker (Stoker), Michael Bumgardner, Leonard Bumgardner, John Dick, Leonard Pfouts, Jacob Huntsinger, Daniel Dickson, James Dickson, James Cash, William Cash, Henry Michael Sr., Henry Michael Jr., Daniel Michael, Thomas Baker, Alexander Smith who purchased the tomahawk and some of the farm animals and other items, David Smith, Frederick Younce, Christian Shear, Abraham Shear, Coonrod Coldiron, David Ingram, Balsar Raime, Conrat Grub, William Colward, George Miller, John Calloway, Allen Nowlin, John Holman and John Tirey. The amount of the sale, including the items taken by the widow totaled 300 pounds, 18 shillings, 7 pence. (Will Book 1, pp. 540-41, Wilkes Co., NC.)" 12.

Because there were a number of years between Peter's birth and the others, the question arises if he might not be a child of a first marriage. He grew up in North Carolina and married Elizabeth Dick in 1766. His land grant was close to other Ellers, beginning at the spruce pine on the Upper Ford on Rones Creek. In 1797 he bought the 70 acres which had been granted to his father-in-law, Conrad Dick. This land had been surveyed and chain carriers were listed as Michael Stoker and John Eller, neighbors. Peter had 470 acres at his death... There oldest daughter, Catherine, married Michael Stoker and their youngest daughter, Mary, married George Koons and their great granddaughter, Betty Oman married Orson Hyde Stoker. Children: a. John, b. 1767 or 1769; d. 1823; m. Susanna Kerns. b. Catherine, b. 6 Mar 1773 at Rowan Co., NC; d. 1850 at Council Bluffs, Iowa; m. Michael Stoker. c. Elizabeth, b. 1780; m. William Pennington. d.

'Gene' Pitt, 1996, pp. 119-123: "Elizabeth Eller, b. 1780; md. possibly to William Pennington or to ___ Bumgardner." 16. 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. 29-30: "Elizabeth Eller. That there was a daughter Elizabeth is proved by the record of sale of the personal estate of Peter Eller as reported to the Nov. 1799 court of Wilkes Co. wherein 'Elizabeth Eller Jr.' is named as the purchaser of such items as two beds and furniture, spinning wheel, smoothing iron, two chairs, bell, bridle, wooden water can and two pigins (water dippers). (Will Book I, pp. 540-41, Wilkes Co., NC.) The fact that she was called 'Elizabeth Eller Jr.' indicates that she was not married and the character of her purchases suggest that she was preparing to be. Certain deeds in Ashe Co., NC (Book M, p. 163 and Book F, pp. 83 and 414) prove that one daughter of Peter Eller married William Pennington and the belief has been that it was Elizabeth, and the same Elizabeth Pennington who witnessed the deed referred to under Peter Eller Jr. [Insert from author's notes on her brother Peter Eller Jr.: 'On 2 Jul 1812 Peter Eller and William Pennington 'administrators of the estate of William Pennington deceased' sold land of the estate that was granted to William Pennington on the north side of a fork of New River 15 Dec 1798. The deed was signed by Peter Eller and William Penington and witnessed by Elizabeth Pennington. {Deed Book C, p. 457, Ashe Co., NC.} Elizabeth Pennington, the witness, could have been the wife of William Pennington, the administrator, and a sister of Peter Eller Jr. or she could have been the widow or daughter of the deceased.] The fact, however, that Michael Stoker, son of Peter Eller's daughter Catherine, had himself baptized for his 'deceased aunt, Barbara Pertune', [see notes for Barbara Eller for more detail] casts some doubt on this, the name Pertune possibly having been meant for Pennington. Of course, Barbara Pertune could have been an aunt on his father's side. If, however, it was true that Barbara Eller was the wife of William Pennington then the question arises who did Elizabeth Eller marry? This writer would guess that it was a Bumgardner and that Simeon Bumgardner, b. 8 Jan 1807 and recroded in the German Bible published at Halle, Germany in 1770, and mentioned [in the notes of Elizabeth's father Peter Eller Sr.], was their son. Michael and Leonard Bumgardner purchased several items of the Peter Eller estate in 1799. (Will Book 1, pp. 540-41, Wilkes Co., NC.) A James Bumgard (sic) (wife Hannah) was granted land on New River that bordered land of Peter Eller, 22 Aug 1795 and other land near by was granted to Michael Bumgarner (sic) 23 Jul 1794. A James Bunyard (sic) is shown in the 1810 census of Ashe Co. as being between 16-26 years of age with wife of same age and with a son and daughter both under 10. A James Beal Bunyard (sic) died in Ashe Co. in 1817. His will, dated 14 Aug 1817 mentioned wife Hannah and Children, (1) Samuel; (2) Nancy; (3) Betsey and also mentioned 'my boys' but named only Samuel." MARRIAGE: 1. Elizabeth Eller was not married at the time of her father's estate sale in the November term of 1799, William Pennington was the head of a household with a female the right age to be his wife in the 1800 census 7 August 1800. 2. As of Feb 2019, Family Search has a photo for the tombstone of Elizabeth Pennington with birth and death dates. Even though it does not explicitly say so, this Elizabeth is currently considered to be Elizabeth Eller. More importantly, it seems to eliminate the conjecture that Elizabeth's sister Barbara was the one who married William Pennington. | Pennington, William (I1376)

The entire state was counted but only Pottawattamie listed everyone by name in the household and their ages; other counties only listed the head of the household and a numerical count without names of the various ages by sex in the household. No date is given when the census was taken but it was certified in Dec. 1851; however, the other counties show a Sep 1851 date which also appears more likely for Pottawattamie as well in light of ages given some children with known birthdays in October.

By 1875 Nancy signs her name as Nancy Allen for consent for her daughter Emma's marriage to Charles Taylor in 1875.

I cannot find the 1870 census for them but I can find them all in 1860 and Nancy and Emma in 1880. Evans' son Jasper is in Boyer, Iowa - but Evans doesn't show. 6.

Boyer township is bunded on the north by Harrison and Lincoln townships, on the east by Shelby county, on the south by Jefferson and Cass and on the west by Magnolia township. The settlement of this township commenced in the year 1851. Among the first settlers were Richard Musgrave, Evans Obanion, Thos. Thompson, J. Jeffrey, Geo. Medford, Matthew Hall and Lorenzo Butler... [A lengthy description of the township and its history follows.]... In the summer of of 1865 [in the country around Woodbine], three little girls about 5 or 6 years old, went to the Boyer (near where the woolen factory now is) to bathe. Two of them, one daughter of John Obanion, the other daughter of James Foster, wading too deep. The other seeing them struggle, ran as fast as she could to the house and gave the alarm. The agonizing parents were soon on the ground, but it was too late, and the little ones were dead..." BIRTH: 1.

Box 806, Humboldt, TN 38343, 1998, p. 102, has references to some of our family as indicated by an asterisk [*} that I have added with comments that follow. The church is between Carrolton and Pickensville: "Big Creek Church. A group of early settlers came together and requested a church be organized in this area between Carrollton and Pickensville in order to have a place to worship. Rev. Silas Dobbs and Rev. Charles Stewart met with the group to establish rules and regulations to constitute a Baptist church. They agreed to meet once per month, on Saturday, to transact all church business and on Sunday for a day of worship. The founding members were Notley Gilmore, John Mangum*, Charles W. Nalls, Samual Adair*, Robert McVey, Mathew Gilmore, Mary Jane Jones, Anna Hiespeth, Rebecca Mangum*, Jermiah Mangum*, Nancy Huggins*, Alcey Johnson, Rebecca Adair* and Pheobe Clark*. They were declared a regular number of members of the church and entitled to all privileges of the gospel church and its to be known as Big Creek Church on January 10, 1829. The building was a wood frame with wood shutters. There was no way to heat the church during cold weather. Many times services were not held because of the cold weather and heavy rains. Membership grew rapidly for many years until the Baptist church was organized in Carrollton, and other churches in the areas close by. Both black and white members worshiped together through the late 1860s. The church was divided by a partition in half for the black members to worship with their own pastor until they were able to build their own place of worship. As time passed, the church membership grew... The membership became smaller and smaller. The members were moving away and going to other churches. The final church record was on December 1891... The church was located on Highway 86 West about six miles from Carrollton, Alabama. There is not a building there, but the church cemetery is on the right of the highway, very overgrown and unkept, tombstones falling down and scattered. Many of Pickens County early pioneers are buried there." *My comments as to relatives: John Mangum - the Patriot, 1763-1843. Samual Adair - Samuel Jefferson Adair, 1806-1889. Samuel marries John Mangum's daughter Jemima. Rebecca Mangum - most likely John Mangum's wife Rebecca Canida, 1785-1847. Jermiah Mangum - no idea who this may be; there is no known Jeremiah Mangum to date in the family. May be a bad transcription for Jemima Mangum, but there are none known with this surname at the time since John Mangum's dau. Jemima had married Samuel Jefferson Adair many years before. Nancy Huggins - John Mangum's daughter Nancy, 1794-1877, who married Austin Hudgens. Rebecca Adair - most likely Rebecca Brown, 1784-1846, who married Thomas Adair and was mother to Samuel and Phoebe on this list. Phoebe Clark - Samuel Jefferson Adair's sister, Fairby, 1809-1836, who married Daniel Clark. Photos of the Big Creek Missionary Baptist Church are found in another book, FHL 976.185 H2h "The Heritage of Pickens County, Alabama," by Heritage Publishing Consultants, Inc., PO Box 67, Clanton, AL 35046, 1999, pp. 58-59. The church existed until 1931 and some time after 1942 the old church either fell down or was torn down. Burial date from the early 1830s to 1934. FHL book 976.185 V3p "Pickens County, Alabama Cemetery Records 1983," by the Pickens County Genealogical Society, 1984, lists the burials in "Big Creek Cemetery". None with the surnames of the above are shown here except for "Frank F. Hudgins, Co. D. 41st Al. Inf, CSA (no dates)." Frank was most likely Austin and Nancy Hudgen's son. 6. LDS Family History Library book 976.185H2j "Early Settlers of Pickens County, Alabama," by James Dolphus Johnson, Jr, 1992, is a very helpful analysis of land holdings in the said county. It locates the associated families of Adair, Mangum, and Richey in close proximity to each other. The book provides an alphabetical listing of each land holder and the grant date, location, and size of their land holding, its location. This township is typical at 6 miles by 6 miles with each section being 640 acres or one square mile. There are a total of 36 sections arranged in a grid of 6 x 6 with number 1 being the top right with the count going right to left than dropping down one row and going left to right and so forth with no. 36 being the bottom right corner. I rearrange the following listing by survey township so that the associations can be seen in the various families: A. Township 20, Range 15. The bottom center of this township incorporates the north part of the settlement of Carrollton. We also find "Hebron Church" in the township's center (sect. 16). On modern maps, Highway 35 travelling north of Carrollton rough splits this township east and west. a. Samuel Adair has two properties. This is Samuel Jefferson Adair who goes to Utah: i. S9 (Section 9), 9/30/1836, 40 acres (SE corner of SW 1/4 section). ii. S15, 1/31/1836, 40 acres (SW corner of SW 1/4 section). b. Joseph Adair has two properties adjoining each other. He is just north of Samuel Adair's first listed property and just west of James Adair's property. Joseph is Samuel Adair's cousin who also goes to Utah. James is most likely Joseph's father who does not go to Utah. Note also he also owns two other properties outside of this Township -- one with his father James and one individually (see B(a) and D(a): i. S4, 11/21/1836, 40 acres (SE corner of SW section 1/4). ii. S9, 9/26/1836, 40 acres (NW corner of NW section 1/4). c. James Adair has two properties adjoining each other. He is just just east of Joseph Adair's property. James is most likely Joseph's father and he does not go to Utah with Joseph. Note also he also owns two other properties outside of this Township -- one with his son Joseph and one individually (see B(a) and C(a): i. S3 and S4, 11/1/1837, 40 acres each adjoining each other (S3: SW corner of SW section 1/4; S4: SE corner of SE section 1/4). d. Thomas Adair has one property which adjoins the separate property of Furley Clark and R.(Rebecca?) Adair who are his daughter and wife. Thomas and Furley do not go to Utah, but Rebecca does: i. S20, 11/10/1835, 40 acres (SW corner of NE 1/4 section). e. Furley Clark and R. Adair. This would be daughter and mother: Fairby or Pherrely Adair who married Daniel Clark and Rebecca (Brown) Adair, wife of Thomas Adair. The land adjoins Thomas Adair. Rebecca goes to Utah but "Furley" does not: i S20, 11/28/1834, 160 acres (SW 1/4). f. John Mangum. His family goes to Utah but he does not. This would be John Mangum "the Patriot." He is just south of Samuel Adair's land in S15. His land directly adjoins that of son William Mangum, son Cyrus Mangum, and son-in-law Austin Hudgins (marries Nancy Mangum). He is just northwest of land of another son-in-law Thomas Peeks (marries Elizabeth Mangum): i. S22, 9/23/1834, 80 acres (N half of SW 1/4 section). g. William Mangum, the oldest son John Mangum (the "Patriot") from his third marriage. William marries Sally/Sarah Adair and moves to Utah. His land adjoins the land of his father, his brother Cyrus, and of his bro.-in-law Austin Hudgins. Both pieces of his land adjoin each other. Note also he also owns another property outside of this Township (see E(a)): i. S21, 7/1/1835, 40 acres (both this and the next piece form the S half of SW 1/4 section). ii. S21, 2/20/1836, 40 acres. iii. S22, 10/23/1834, 80 acres (W half of NW 1/4 section). iv. Note that no date is given but he also is granted 80 in S14 of a separate township (T24, R3). h. Cyrus Mangum, son of John Mangum (the "Patriot") from his second marriage. Cyrus does not go to Utah and he and his family are found in the 1850 US Census remaining in this same area; however, he eventually moves to Moulton, Lavaca, Texas where he dies. His land adjoins land of his father, his brother William, and of his bro.-in-law Thomas Peeks: i. S22, 1/25/1836, 80 acres (W half of SE 1/4 section). ii. S27, 2/27/1830, 80 acres (E half of NE 1/4 section). i. Thomas Peeks, son-in-law of John Mangum (the "Patriot") and husband of Elizabeth Mangum, John's dau. from his first marriage. Thomas does not come to Utah and he remains in this area for the rest of his life. He is found here in the 1850 census and his wife alone in the 1860 census. His land adjoins bros.-in-law Austin Hudgins and Cyrus Mangum: i. S27, 11/19/1835, 80 acres (I am unsure in which order the three parcels fit into the map; however, all the land is found in two spots on the map: 40 acres SW corner of SE 1/4 section and a L-shaped piece of 120 acres including W half of NE 1/4 and SE corner of NW 1/4). ii. S27, 6/17/1836, 40 acres. iii. S27, 9/4/1832, 40 acres. iv. S21, 9/25/1844, 40 acres. (This is not land he owned but he acts as Trustee for Nancy E. Bryant, who does not appear related to him.) j. Austin Hudgins, son-in-law to John Mangum (the "Patriot" and husband to Nancy Mangum, John's dau. from his first marriage). Austin and Nancy remain in the area for the rest of their lives and are found in the local censuses. He had several parcels of land all in close proximity to bros.-in-law Thomas Peeks, Cyrus Mangum, and William Mangum. Rather than trying to sort each parcel out on the map and aligning them to the following acquisitions (many of which added to existing land), I summarize his total holdings as follows: 160 acres NE 1/4 S28, 80 acres W half NW 1/4 S27, 80 acres W half SW 1/4 S27, 120 acres SE 1/4 S27 (SW corner of 40 acres in this 1/4 section owned by Thomas Peeks), 80 acres E half SW 1/4 S26, and 40 acres NE corner NE 1/4 S35: i. S22 & 35, 2/20/1855, 120 acres. (Note author erroneously identifies this as Range 16, but maps show it correctly as Range 15.) ii. S28, 2/20/1855, 80 acres. iii. S26, 6/4/1832, 40 acres. iv. S26, 2/25/1835, 40 acres. v. S27, 2/27/1830, 80 acres. vi. S27, 11/19/1835, 80 acres. vii. S27, 8/3/1836, 40 acres. viii. S27 & S28, 10/29/1836, 160 acres. B. Township 19, Range 16. This township has the small town of Ethelsville at its center. Ethelsville is about 15 miles NW of Carrollton and closer to the Mississippi State line. We only find one family of interest as follows and this land is in addition to other land owned elsewhere: a. Joseph and James Adair (joint owners). This is most likely Joseph and his father James. They both separately own land near Carrollton in Township 20, Range 15 (see A(b) and A(c) above). James also owns individually land in Township 21, Range 17 (see C(a) below) for which the date of grant is the same: i. S34, 10/18/1834, 160 acres (NE 1/4). C. Township 21, Range 17. This township has the small town of Pickensville on its Eastern boundary and the Mississippi State Line for its western boundary. Pickensville is about 11 miles W of Carrollton. The land borders the western shore of the modern lake Aliceville Lake. We only find one family of interest as follows and this land is in addition to other land owned elsewhere: a. James Adair. This is most likely James, the father of Joseph. James also owns land near Carrollton in Township 20, Range 15 (see A(c) above) and Ethelsville in Township 19, Range 16 (see B(a) above): i. S22, 10/18/1834, 80 acres (E half of NE 1/4). (Note this date is the same as the grant on the Ethelsville parcel.) D. Township 22, Range 17. (The author identifies this Township erroneously as 20, but the land map confirms it as Township 22.) This township has the small town of Memphis, AL, on its center and the Mississippi State Line for its western boundary. Memphis is about 13 miles SW of Carrollton. The land borders the western shore of the modern lake Aliceville Lake. It is only about 5 miles south of Pickensville. We only find one family of interest as follows and this land is in addition to other land owned elsewhere: a. Joseph Adair. This is most likely the son of James. Joseph also owns land near Carrollton in Township 20, Range 15 (see A(b) above) and Ethelsville in Township 19, Range 16 (see B(a) above): i. S3, 10/18/1834, 80 acres (E half of SE 1/4). (Note this date is the same as the grant on the Ethelsville parcel.) E. Township 24S, Range 3W. This township has the small village of Cochrane near its eastern boundary and the Mississippi State Line for its western boundary. It is about 18 miles southwest of Carrollton: a. William Mangum. William is the son of John Mangum (the "Patriot"). This parcel is in addition to land William Mangum owned near Carrollton in Township 20, Range 15 (see A(g) above): i. S14, no date, 80 acres (W half of NE 1/4). F. Township 21 & 22, Range 16. Township 21 includes the eastern half of Pickensville on is western side. Township 22 would be the next township south of township 21. William Richey's property would be currently in Pickensville. Even though in the same county, the Richeys at this point of time were not in a township with any of the other associated families since they were about 8 miles away slightly southwest from the main grouping just north of Carrollton. William was of course married in 1820 to Margaret Adair, the daughter of Thomas and Rebecca (Brown) Adair. I do not include the physical locations of these parcels within the section in which they occur. The brother-in-law of William, Neal Tilletson who married Martha Richey, is also found in this county: a. Robert Richey. Father of William, James, and David. Only William went to Utah along with Robert's wife Rebecca (Belton) who died on the trail to Utah: i. S32 (TWP 21), 1/31/1825, 160 acres. ii. S5 (TWP 22), 1/12/1825, 160 acres. b. William Richey. He came to Utah: i. S7 (TWP 21), 9/17/1833, 40 acres. c. James Richey. He is found here in the 1850 Census with wife and two children: i. S8 & S9 (TWP 21), 8/13/1833, 80 acres. c. David Richey. He is found here in the 1850 Census with extensive family (Census entry may be misspelled as Didama Adair): i. S7 (TWP 22), 12/31/1833, 40 acres. G. Miscellaneous notes: a. I looked for both Moses Pearson and any Carsons associated with the family and found no listings in this book. b. There are other Adairs in Pickens County and they are listed in the book. They include Wyman (or Weyman) Adair with five parcels with date range of 1832-1834 in Township 20, Range 16, and in Township 21, Range 16. Also included is William Adair with one parcel dated in 1836 for Township 22, Range 14. These may be distant cousins of our Adairs, but not ones with which there is a documentary association at this time. c. This study was undertaken with the goal of confirming the relationship of Joseph Adair with a father named James Adair as is established by Joseph Adair's LDS Patriarchal Blessing in which Joseph names his parents as James and Rebecca Adair. The close relationship found in these particular land records confirm this relationship especially since they also owned land together. There is one caveat, however, and that is that Joseph had a younger brother named Joseph Newton Adair who was born 11 Mar 1812 (Joseph was born 11 Apr 1806). There is the possibility that the James in the land deeds could be the brother and not the father, however, I don't believe this is the case. The 1830 US Census places James Adair and his family in Pickens County with him and his wife being aged 60-70. To be listed in the census he would have had to have had property. There is only one James Adair listed in the census and the younger James Newton Adair may be the male listed in the census that is age 15-20. BURIAL: 1.

| 1944 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Biographical info per the book "John Mangum, American Revolutionary War Soldier and Descendants," 1986, p. 7-16, by Delta Ivie Mangum Hale: "Shortly after the Rev. War, John married Mary Murdock. Mary was known by the nickname of Polly to the family. Her father was Hamilton Murdock. The date of their marriage is not known. Three children were born to John and Mary. The oldest, James Mangum, was born Dec. 6, 1791 at Newberry, So. Carolina. The next Child, Nancy, was born Nov. 11, 1794, and the third Child, Elizabeth, was born on Christmas Eve in 1798. Both Nancy and Elizabeth were born in South Carolina, but the town is not known. John's first wife, Mary, died, and after a time he remarried, this time to Gemima Goggins. John's brother William, was married to Gemima's sister, Anna. These two couples were apparently quite close, as John was the administrator of William's estate following William's death. Copies of the wills of both William and Anna are in the possession of the author. Two children were born to John and Gemima. The oldest, Cyrus, was born Jan. 5, 1805 [probably typo for 1803] at Newberry. He went by the nickname of Russ. After he grew up he married and moved to Texas where he left a large posterity. The other child was born June 17, 1804. John's second wife died, and he was again left a widower." 2. It is not proven, but this individual is most likely the "Betsy Mangum" from a sealing record to Samuel Jefferson Adair in the St. George Temple. I did a complete online Ordinance Index search on every Betsy or Elizabeth Mangum and found 134 entries (as well as 42 Elizabeth/Betsy Adairs); the only one showing temple work prior to the 1880 sealing date was this individual with a baptism in SGEOR in 1877 by proxy (however, there was none with an endowment prior to 1880). Based on this baptism, it is surmised but not proven that this is the individual that Samuel had sealed to him by proxy. From his "Sealing to Spouse" notes of ordinance records as copied here: "Gemima Mangum: Online Ordinance Index has two entries: (1) FHL film 456338 showing "9 May 1853"; (2) FHL film 458480 showing 1864 with no temple noted. Used the earlier of the two. Nancy: Rachel Hunter: Online Ordinance Index FHL film M183393 which is an extracted marriage sealing record. Note it is same date and temple as Gemima Mangum's sealing to Samuel: 9 May 1853 EHOUS. Anne Catherine Mattison: Online Ordinance Index FHL film M183395 which is an extracted marriage sealing record. Mattison was her father's name. See her file for more variations of last name. Online Ordinance Index he is also sealed to the following women. I don't know the circumstances of these other sealings, Elizabeth Mangum was Gemima's half sister if it is the same person. He could have been sealed to some of them by proxy (after their deaths) or just part of the "Law of Adoption" then in practice; however; he was living when sealed to all of them. As for Roxanna M., the census doesn't record whether or not she was his wife, he may have taken her in just to give her a home & help support her; Roxanna also was 12 years older than Samuel: Dorthea Nielson, 15 Feb 1877 SGEOR, per FHL film 170595, ref. 122. Ane Marie Jakobsen, 8 Mar 1878 SGEOR, per FHL film 170596, ref. 1590. Kjerstene Knudsen, 14 Mar 1878 SGEOR, per FHL film 170596, ref. 1852.

The only information listed in the same sealing record is an undated birth in an unspecified location in South Carolina. 3.

A last name of neither Mangum nor Bush has a primary source listed. My "hunch" is for Mangum as Thomas and Elizabeth Peeks named a son Cyrus.

LDS Family History Library book 976.185H2j "Early Settlers of Pickens County, Alabama," by James Dolphus Johnson, Jr, 1992, is a very helpful analysis of land holdings in the said county. It locates the associated families of Adair, Mangum, and Richey in close proximity to each other. The book provides an alphabetical listing of each land holder and the grant date, location, and size of their land holding, its location. This township is typical at 6 miles by 6 miles with each section being 640 acres or one square mile. There are a total of 36 sections arranged in a grid of 6 x 6 with number 1 being the top right with the count going right to left than dropping down one row and going left to right and so forth with no. 36 being the bottom right corner. I rearrange the following listing by survey township so that the associations can be seen in the various families: A. Township 20, Range 15. The bottom center of this township incorporates the north part of the settlement of Carrollton. We also find "Hebron Church" in the township's center (sect. 16). On modern maps, Highway 35 travelling north of Carrollton rough splits this township east and west. a. Samuel Adair has two properties. This is Samuel Jefferson Adair who goes to Utah: i. S9 (Section 9), 9/30/1836, 40 acres (SE corner of SW 1/4 section). ii. S15, 1/31/1836, 40 acres (SW corner of SW 1/4 section). b. Joseph Adair has two properties adjoining each other. He is just north of Samuel Adair's first listed property and just west of James Adair's property. Joseph is Samuel Adair's cousin who also goes to Utah. James is most likely Joseph's father who does not go to Utah. Note also he also owns two other properties outside of this Township -- one with his father James and one individually (see B(a) and D(a): i. S4, 11/21/1836, 40 acres (SE corner of SW section 1/4). ii. S9, 9/26/1836, 40 acres (NW corner of NW section 1/4). c. James Adair has two properties adjoining each other. He is just just east of Joseph Adair's property. James is most likely Joseph's father and he does not go to Utah with Joseph. Note also he also owns two other properties outside of this Township -- one with his son Joseph and one individually (see B(a) and C(a): i. S3 and S4, 11/1/1837, 40 acres each adjoining each other (S3: SW corner of SW section 1/4; S4: SE corner of SE section 1/4). d. Thomas Adair has one property which adjoins the separate property of Furley Clark and R.(Rebecca?) Adair who are his daughter and wife. Thomas and Furley do not go to Utah, but Rebecca does: i. S20, 11/10/1835, 40 acres (SW corner of NE 1/4 section). e. Furley Clark and R. Adair. This would be daughter and mother: Fairby or Pherrely Adair who married Daniel Clark and Rebecca (Brown) Adair, wife of Thomas Adair. The land adjoins Thomas Adair. Rebecca goes to Utah but "Furley" does not: i S20, 11/28/1834, 160 acres (SW 1/4). f. John Mangum. His family goes to Utah but he does not. This would be John Mangum "the Patriot." He is just south of Samuel Adair's land in S15. His land directly adjoins that of son William Mangum, son Cyrus Mangum, and son-in-law Austin Hudgins (marries Nancy Mangum). He is just northwest of land of another son-in-law Thomas Peeks (marries Elizabeth Mangum): i. S22, 9/23/1834, 80 acres (N half of SW 1/4 section). g. William Mangum, the oldest son John Mangum (the "Patriot") from his third marriage. William marries Sally/Sarah Adair and moves to Utah. His land adjoins the land of his father, his brother Cyrus, and of his bro.-in-law Austin Hudgins. Both pieces of his land adjoin each other. Note also he also owns another property outside of this Township (see E(a)): i. S21, 7/1/1835, 40 acres (both this and the next piece form the S half of SW 1/4 section). ii. S21, 2/20/1836, 40 acres. iii. S22, 10/23/1834, 80 acres (W half of NW 1/4 section). iv. Note that no date is given but he also is granted 80 in S14 of a separate township (T24, R3). h. Cyrus Mangum, son of John Mangum (the "Patriot") from his second marriage. Cyrus does not go to Utah and he and his family are found in the 1850 US Census remaining in this same area; however, he eventually moves to Moulton, Lavaca, Texas where he dies. His land adjoins land of his father, his brother William, and of his bro.-in-law Thomas Peeks: i. S22, 1/25/1836, 80 acres (W half of SE 1/4 section). ii. S27, 2/27/1830, 80 acres (E half of NE 1/4 section). i. Thomas Peeks, son-in-law of John Mangum (the "Patriot") and husband of Elizabeth Mangum, John's dau. from his first marriage. Thomas does not come to Utah and he remains in this area for the rest of his life. He is found here in the 1850 census and his wife alone in the 1860 census. His land adjoins bros.-in-law Austin Hudgins and Cyrus Mangum: i. S27, 11/19/1835, 80 acres (I am unsure in which order the three parcels fit into the map; however, all the land is found in two spots on the map: 40 acres SW corner of SE 1/4 section and a L-shaped piece of 120 acres including W half of NE 1/4 and SE corner of NW 1/4). ii. S27, 6/17/1836, 40 acres. iii. S27, 9/4/1832, 40 acres. iv. S21, 9/25/1844, 40 acres. (This is not land he owned but he acts as Trustee for Nancy E. Bryant, who does not appear related to him.) j. Austin Hudgins, son-in-law to John Mangum (the "Patriot" and husband to Nancy Mangum, John's dau. from his first marriage). Austin and Nancy remain in the area for the rest of their lives and are found in the local censuses. He had several parcels of land all in close proximity to bros.-in-law Thomas Peeks, Cyrus Mangum, and William Mangum. Rather than trying to sort each parcel out on the map and aligning them to the following acquisitions (many of which added to existing land), I summarize his total holdings as follows: 160 acres NE 1/4 S28, 80 acres W half NW 1/4 S27, 80 acres W half SW 1/4 S27, 120 acres SE 1/4 S27 (SW corner of 40 acres in this 1/4 section owned by Thomas Peeks), 80 acres E half SW 1/4 S26, and 40 acres NE corner NE 1/4 S35: i. S22 & 35, 2/20/1855, 120 acres. (Note author erroneously identifies this as Range 16, but maps show it correctly as Range 15.) ii. S28, 2/20/1855, 80 acres. iii. S26, 6/4/1832, 40 acres. iv. S26, 2/25/1835, 40 acres. v. S27, 2/27/1830, 80 acres. vi. S27, 11/19/1835, 80 acres. vii. S27, 8/3/1836, 40 acres. viii. S27 & S28, 10/29/1836, 160 acres. B. Township 19, Range 16. This township has the small town of Ethelsville at its center. Ethelsville is about 15 miles NW of Carrollton and closer to the Mississippi State line. We only find one family of interest as follows and this land is in addition to other land owned elsewhere: a. Joseph and James Adair (joint owners). This is most likely Joseph and his father James. They both separately own land near Carrollton in Township 20, Range 15 (see A(b) and A(c) above). James also owns individually land in Township 21, Range 17 (see C(a) below) for which the date of grant is the same: i. S34, 10/18/1834, 160 acres (NE 1/4). C. Township 21, Range 17. This township has the small town of Pickensville on its Eastern boundary and the Mississippi State Line for its western boundary. Pickensville is about 11 miles W of Carrollton. The land borders the western shore of the modern lake Aliceville Lake. We only find one family of interest as follows and this land is in addition to other land owned elsewhere: a. James Adair. This is most likely James, the father of Joseph. James also owns land near Carrollton in Township 20, Range 15 (see A(c) above) and Ethelsville in Township 19, Range 16 (see B(a) above): i. S22, 10/18/1834, 80 acres (E half of NE 1/4). (Note this date is the same as the grant on the Ethelsville parcel.) D. Township 22, Range 17. (The author identifies this Township erroneously as 20, but the land map confirms it as Township 22.) This township has the small town of Memphis, AL, on its center and the Mississippi State Line for its western boundary. Memphis is about 13 miles SW of Carrollton. The land borders the western shore of the modern lake Aliceville Lake. It is only about 5 miles south of Pickensville. We only find one family of interest as follows and this land is in addition to other land owned elsewhere: a. Joseph Adair. This is most likely the son of James. Joseph also owns land near Carrollton in Township 20, Range 15 (see A(b) above) and Ethelsville in Township 19, Range 16 (see B(a) above): i. S3, 10/18/1834, 80 acres (E half of SE 1/4). (Note this date is the same as the grant on the Ethelsville parcel.) E. Township 24S, Range 3W. This township has the small village of Cochrane near its eastern boundary and the Mississippi State Line for its western boundary. It is about 18 miles southwest of Carrollton: a. William Mangum. William is the son of John Mangum (the "Patriot"). This parcel is in addition to land William Mangum owned near Carrollton in Township 20, Range 15 (see A(g) above): i. S14, no date, 80 acres (W half of NE 1/4). F. Township 21 & 22, Range 16. Township 21 includes the eastern half of Pickensville on is western side. Township 22 would be the next township south of township 21. William Richey's property would be currently in Pickensville. Even though in the same county, the Richeys at this point of time were not in a township with any of the other associated families since they were about 8 miles away slightly southwest from the main grouping just north of Carrollton. William was of course married in 1820 to Margaret Adair, the daughter of Thomas and Rebecca (Brown) Adair. I do not include the physical locations of these parcels within the section in which they occur. The brother-in-law of William, Neal Tilletson who married Martha Richey, is also found in this county: a. Robert Richey. Father of William, James, and David. Only William went to Utah along with Robert's wife Rebecca (Belton) who died on the trail to Utah: i. S32 (TWP 21), 1/31/1825, 160 acres. ii. S5 (TWP 22), 1/12/1825, 160 acres. b. William Richey. He came to Utah: i. S7 (TWP 21), 9/17/1833, 40 acres. c. James Richey. He is found here in the 1850 Census with wife and two children: i. S8 & S9 (TWP 21), 8/13/1833, 80 acres. c. David Richey. He is found here in the 1850 Census with extensive family (Census entry may be misspelled as Didama Adair): i. S7 (TWP 22), 12/31/1833, 40 acres. G. Miscellaneous notes: a. I looked for both Moses Pearson and any Carsons associated with the family and found no listings in this book. b. There are other Adairs in Pickens County and they are listed in the book. They include Wyman (or Weyman) Adair with five parcels with date range of 1832-1834 in Township 20, Range 16, and in Township 21, Range 16. Also included is William Adair with one parcel dated in 1836 for Township 22, Range 14. These may be distant cousins of our Adairs, but not ones with which there is a documentary association at this time. c. This study was undertaken with the goal of confirming the relationship of Joseph Adair with a father named James Adair as is established by Joseph Adair's LDS Patriarchal Blessing in which Joseph names his parents as James and Rebecca Adair. The close relationship found in these particular land records confirm this relationship especially since they also owned land together. There is one caveat, however, and that is that Joseph had a younger brother named Joseph Newton Adair who was born 11 Mar 1812 (Joseph was born 11 Apr 1806). There is the possibility that the James in the land deeds could be the brother and not the father, however, I don't believe this is the case. The 1830 US Census places James Adair and his family in Pickens County with him and his wife being aged 60-70. To be listed in the census he would have had to have had property. There is only one James Adair listed in the census and the younger James Newton Adair may be the male listed in the census that is age 15-20. BIOGRAPHY: 1. FHL Book 976.185 H2h "The Heritage of Pickens County, Alabama," by Heritage Publishing Consultants, Inc., PO Box 67, Clanton, AL 35046, 1999, pp. 281-2, biography of Thomas Peeks submitted by Amanda Shirley, 5924 Baron Kent Lane, Centreville, Virginia, 20120 and written by James M. Shirley, 2811 Noble Fir Court, Woodbridge, Virginia, 22192: "Thomas Peeks was born in Tennessee about 1793. He married Elizabeth ___ who was born in South Carolina around 1807. Thomas moved sometime before 1827 to Alabama and bought land from the government just north of Carrollton near the Carloss community. He purchased 40 acres on September 4, 1832, 80 acres on November 19, 1835, and an additional 40 acres on June 17, 1836. The lands are all in Township 20, Range 15, and Section 27. Thomas and Elizabeth were the parents of the least seven children, Cyrus (1827- ), Matilda C. (10/14/1829-1/26/1864) married Rev. Robert Daniel Carver, Mary (1831- ), William W. (1833-1864), Francis (1835- ), George Washington (1838- ), and Thomas R. (1841- ). At least three of Thomas Peek's sons served in the Confederate Army. William W. served in the Fifth Texas Infantry (Hood's Brigade) and participated in Longstreet's assault at the Battle of the Wilderness in May of 1864. He was shot in in the stomach and died shortly thereafter. George Washington enlisted in 1861, served in the Jeff Davis Light Artillery, and was discharged with a hand amputation from a wound in 1862. After the war he moved to Fannin County, Texas where he became a justice of the peace. Thomas R. served in Company H of the Fifth Alabama Infantry. Little is known at present time about their daughters Mary and Frances. Matilda married Rev. Robert Daniel Carver who was a minister and a physician in Pickens County. They had three children. Eudora Cordelia Carver was born 8/27/1859 and she married Andrew Jackson Elmore and had 8 children. Henry Walton Carver was born 3/8/1861 and died 10/22/1941. He promised his sweetheart, Fannie Elmore (younger sister of Eudora's husband, Andrew Jackson Elmore), that he would never love anyone else. She died in the typhoid epidemic in 1887 (along with her sister Mary who died the day after Fannie) and Henry died an old man, having never married - keeping his promise to his sweetheart. When he died they found among his things a couple of valentines he had made for her. The third child of Matilda Peeks and Robert Carver was Thomas Wesley. He was born on January 22, 1864 and died the same day. Matilda died four days later on January 22, 1864. Rev. Carver later married Mary Paralee T. Waller and had four other children - Anna Francis, Minnie Elizabeth, Mary Ella, and Robert Nathaniel." The same book has an additional article written on pp. 281-2 by the same writer concerning William W. Peeks, who was Thomas's son. He was born 1833 in Alabama. At sometime before the Civil War, William moved to Texas where on July 15, 1861 he enlisted in the Confederate service in Milam County. Prior to the War, he had been a school teacher. He died while in this service. The article includes a letter by William Peeks to his siblings written September 27, 1863 from the line of battle near Chattanooga during the Civil War. BIRTH: 1.

Box 806, Humboldt, TN 38343, 1998, p. 102, has references to some of our family as indicated by an asterisk [*} that I have added with comments that follow. The church is between Carrolton and Pickensville: "Big Creek Church. A group of early settlers came together and requested a church be organized in this area between Carrollton and Pickensville in order to have a place to worship. Rev. Silas Dobbs and Rev. Charles Stewart met with the group to establish rules and regulations to constitute a Baptist church. They agreed to meet once per month, on Saturday, to transact all church business and on Sunday for a day of worship. The founding members were Notley Gilmore, John Mangum*, Charles W. Nalls, Samual Adair*, Robert McVey, Mathew Gilmore, Mary Jane Jones, Anna Hiespeth, Rebecca Mangum*, Jermiah Mangum*, Nancy Huggins*, Alcey Johnson, Rebecca Adair* and Pheobe Clark*. They were declared a regular number of members of the church and entitled to all privileges of the gospel church and its to be known as Big Creek Church on January 10, 1829. The building was a wood frame with wood shutters. There was no way to heat the church during cold weather. Many times services were not held because of the cold weather and heavy rains. Membership grew rapidly for many years until the Baptist church was organized in Carrollton, and other churches in the areas close by. Both black and white members worshiped together through the late 1860s. The church was divided by a partition in half for the black members to worship with their own pastor until they were able to build their own place of worship. As time passed, the church membership grew... The membership became smaller and smaller. The members were moving away and going to other churches. The final church record was on December 1891... The church was located on Highway 86 West about six miles from Carrollton, Alabama. There is not a building there, but the church cemetery is on the right of the highway, very overgrown and unkept, tombstones falling down and scattered. Many of Pickens County early pioneers are buried there." *My comments as to relatives: John Mangum - the Patriot, 1763-1843. Samual Adair - Samuel Jefferson Adair, 1806-1889. Samuel marries John Mangum's daughter Jemima. Rebecca Mangum - most likely John Mangum's wife Rebecca Canida, 1785-1847. Jermiah Mangum - no idea who this may be; there is no known Jeremiah Mangum to date in the family. May be a bad transcription for Jemima Mangum, but there are none known with this surname at the time since John Mangum's dau. Jemima had married Samuel Jefferson Adair many years before. Nancy Huggins - John Mangum's daughter Nancy, 1794-1877, who married Austin Hudgens. Rebecca Adair - most likely Rebecca Brown, 1784-1846, who married Thomas Adair and was mother to Samuel and Phoebe on this list. Phoebe Clark - Samuel Jefferson Adair's sister, Fairby, 1809-1836, who married Daniel Clark. Photos of the Big Creek Missionary Baptist Church are found in another book, FHL 976.185 H2h "The Heritage of Pickens County, Alabama," by Heritage Publishing Consultants, Inc., PO Box 67, Clanton, AL 35046, 1999, pp. 58-59. The church existed until 1931 and some time after 1942 the old church either fell down or was torn down. Burial date from the early 1830s to 1934. FHL book 976.185 V3p "Pickens County, Alabama Cemetery Records 1983," by the Pickens County Genealogical Society, 1984, lists the burials in "Big Creek Cemetery". None with the surnames of the above are shown here except for "Frank F. Hudgins, Co. D. 41st Al. Inf, CSA (no dates)." Frank was most likely Austin and Nancy Hudgen's son. 6. LDS Family History Library book 976.185H2j "Early Settlers of Pickens County, Alabama," by James Dolphus Johnson, Jr, 1992, is a very helpful analysis of land holdings in the said county. It locates the associated families of Adair, Mangum, and Richey in close proximity to each other. The book provides an alphabetical listing of each land holder and the grant date, location, and size of their land holding, its location. This township is typical at 6 miles by 6 miles with each section being 640 acres or one square mile. There are a total of 36 sections arranged in a grid of 6 x 6 with number 1 being the top right with the count going right to left than dropping down one row and going left to right and so forth with no. 36 being the bottom right corner. I rearrange the following listing by survey township so that the associations can be seen in the various families: A. Township 20, Range 15. The bottom center of this township incorporates the north part of the settlement of Carrollton. We also find "Hebron Church" in the township's center (sect. 16). On modern maps, Highway 35 travelling north of Carrollton rough splits this township east and west. a. Samuel Adair has two properties. This is Samuel Jefferson Adair who goes to Utah: i. S9 (Section 9), 9/30/1836, 40 acres (SE corner of SW 1/4 section). ii. S15, 1/31/1836, 40 acres (SW corner of SW 1/4 section). b. Joseph Adair has two properties adjoining each other. He is just north of Samuel Adair's first listed property and just west of James Adair's property. Joseph is Samuel Adair's cousin who also goes to Utah. James is most likely Joseph's father who does not go to Utah. Note also he also owns two other properties outside of this Township -- one with his father James and one individually (see B(a) and D(a): i. S4, 11/21/1836, 40 acres (SE corner of SW section 1/4). ii. S9, 9/26/1836, 40 acres (NW corner of NW section 1/4). c. James Adair has two properties adjoining each other. He is just just east of Joseph Adair's property. James is most likely Joseph's father and he does not go to Utah with Joseph. Note also he also owns two other properties outside of this Township -- one with his son Joseph and one individually (see B(a) and C(a): i. S3 and S4, 11/1/1837, 40 acres each adjoining each other (S3: SW corner of SW section 1/4; S4: SE corner of SE section 1/4). d. Thomas Adair has one property which adjoins the separate property of Furley Clark and R.(Rebecca?) Adair who are his daughter and wife. Thomas and Furley do not go to Utah, but Rebecca does: i. S20, 11/10/1835, 40 acres (SW corner of NE 1/4 section). e. Furley Clark and R. Adair. This would be daughter and mother: Fairby or Pherrely Adair who married Daniel Clark and Rebecca (Brown) Adair, wife of Thomas Adair. The land adjoins Thomas Adair. Rebecca goes to Utah but "Furley" does not: i S20, 11/28/1834, 160 acres (SW 1/4). f. John Mangum. His family goes to Utah but he does not. This would be John Mangum "the Patriot." He is just south of Samuel Adair's land in S15. His land directly adjoins that of son William Mangum, son Cyrus Mangum, and son-in-law Austin Hudgins (marries Nancy Mangum). He is just northwest of land of another son-in-law Thomas Peeks (marries Elizabeth Mangum): i. S22, 9/23/1834, 80 acres (N half of SW 1/4 section). g. William Mangum, the oldest son John Mangum (the "Patriot") from his third marriage. William marries Sally/Sarah Adair and moves to Utah. His land adjoins the land of his father, his brother Cyrus, and of his bro.-in-law Austin Hudgins. Both pieces of his land adjoin each other. Note also he also owns another property outside of this Township (see E(a)): i. S21, 7/1/1835, 40 acres (both this and the next piece form the S half of SW 1/4 section). ii. S21, 2/20/1836, 40 acres. iii. S22, 10/23/1834, 80 acres (W half of NW 1/4 section). iv. Note that no date is given but he also is granted 80 in S14 of a separate township (T24, R3). h. Cyrus Mangum, son of John Mangum (the "Patriot") from his second marriage. Cyrus does not go to Utah and he and his family are found in the 1850 US Census remaining in this same area; however, he eventually moves to Moulton, Lavaca, Texas where he dies. His land adjoins land of his father, his brother William, and of his bro.-in-law Thomas Peeks: i. S22, 1/25/1836, 80 acres (W half of SE 1/4 section). ii. S27, 2/27/1830, 80 acres (E half of NE 1/4 section). i. Thomas Peeks, son-in-law of John Mangum (the "Patriot") and husband of Elizabeth Mangum, John's dau. from his first marriage. Thomas does not come to Utah and he remains in this area for the rest of his life. He is found here in the 1850 census and his wife alone in the 1860 census. His land adjoins bros.-in-law Austin Hudgins and Cyrus Mangum: i. S27, 11/19/1835, 80 acres (I am unsure in which order the three parcels fit into the map; however, all the land is found in two spots on the map: 40 acres SW corner of SE 1/4 section and a L-shaped piece of 120 acres including W half of NE 1/4 and SE corner of NW 1/4). ii. S27, 6/17/1836, 40 acres. iii. S27, 9/4/1832, 40 acres. iv. S21, 9/25/1844, 40 acres. (This is not land he owned but he acts as Trustee for Nancy E. Bryant, who does not appear related to him.) j. Austin Hudgins, son-in-law to John Mangum (the "Patriot" and husband to Nancy Mangum, John's dau. from his first marriage). Austin and Nancy remain in the area for the rest of their lives and are found in the local censuses. He had several parcels of land all in close proximity to bros.-in-law Thomas Peeks, Cyrus Mangum, and William Mangum. Rather than trying to sort each parcel out on the map and aligning them to the following acquisitions (many of which added to existing land), I summarize his total holdings as follows: 160 acres NE 1/4 S28, 80 acres W half NW 1/4 S27, 80 acres W half SW 1/4 S27, 120 acres SE 1/4 S27 (SW corner of 40 acres in this 1/4 section owned by Thomas Peeks), 80 acres E half SW 1/4 S26, and 40 acres NE corner NE 1/4 S35: i. S22 & 35, 2/20/1855, 120 acres. (Note author erroneously identifies this as Range 16, but maps show it correctly as Range 15.) ii. S28, 2/20/1855, 80 acres. iii. S26, 6/4/1832, 40 acres. iv. S26, 2/25/1835, 40 acres. v. S27, 2/27/1830, 80 acres. vi. S27, 11/19/1835, 80 acres. vii. S27, 8/3/1836, 40 acres. viii. S27 & S28, 10/29/1836, 160 acres. B. Township 19, Range 16. This township has the small town of Ethelsville at its center. Ethelsville is about 15 miles NW of Carrollton and closer to the Mississippi State line. We only find one family of interest as follows and this land is in addition to other land owned elsewhere: a. Joseph and James Adair (joint owners). This is most likely Joseph and his father James. They both separately own land near Carrollton in Township 20, Range 15 (see A(b) and A(c) above). James also owns individually land in Township 21, Range 17 (see C(a) below) for which the date of grant is the same: i. S34, 10/18/1834, 160 acres (NE 1/4). C. Township 21, Range 17. This township has the small town of Pickensville on its Eastern boundary and the Mississippi State Line for its western boundary. Pickensville is about 11 miles W of Carrollton. The land borders the western shore of the modern lake Aliceville Lake. We only find one family of interest as follows and this land is in addition to other land owned elsewhere: a. James Adair. This is most likely James, the father of Joseph. James also owns land near Carrollton in Township 20, Range 15 (see A(c) above) and Ethelsville in Township 19, Range 16 (see B(a) above): i. S22, 10/18/1834, 80 acres (E half of NE 1/4). (Note this date is the same as the grant on the Ethelsville parcel.) D. Township 22, Range 17. (The author identifies this Township erroneously as 20, but the land map confirms it as Township 22.) This township has the small town of Memphis, AL, on its center and the Mississippi State Line for its western boundary. Memphis is about 13 miles SW of Carrollton. The land borders the western shore of the modern lake Aliceville Lake. It is only about 5 miles south of Pickensville. We only find one family of interest as follows and this land is in addition to other land owned elsewhere: a. Joseph Adair. This is most likely the son of James. Joseph also owns land near Carrollton in Township 20, Range 15 (see A(b) above) and Ethelsville in Township 19, Range 16 (see B(a) above): i. S3, 10/18/1834, 80 acres (E half of SE 1/4). (Note this date is the same as the grant on the Ethelsville parcel.) E. Township 24S, Range 3W. This township has the small village of Cochrane near its eastern boundary and the Mississippi State Line for its western boundary. It is about 18 miles southwest of Carrollton: a. William Mangum. William is the son of John Mangum (the "Patriot"). This parcel is in addition to land William Mangum owned near Carrollton in Township 20, Range 15 (see A(g) above): i. S14, no date, 80 acres (W half of NE 1/4). F. Township 21 & 22, Range 16. Township 21 includes the eastern half of Pickensville on is western side. Township 22 would be the next township south of township 21. William Richey's property would be currently in Pickensville. Even though in the same county, the Richeys at this point of time were not in a township with any of the other associated families since they were about 8 miles away slightly southwest from the main grouping just north of Carrollton. William was of course married in 1820 to Margaret Adair, the daughter of Thomas and Rebecca (Brown) Adair. I do not include the physical locations of these parcels within the section in which they occur. The brother-in-law of William, Neal Tilletson who married Martha Richey, is also found in this county: a. Robert Richey. Father of William, James, and David. Only William went to Utah along with Robert's wife Rebecca (Belton) who died on the trail to Utah: i. S32 (TWP 21), 1/31/1825, 160 acres. ii. S5 (TWP 22), 1/12/1825, 160 acres. b. William Richey. He came to Utah: i. S7 (TWP 21), 9/17/1833, 40 acres. c. James Richey. He is found here in the 1850 Census with wife and two children: i. S8 & S9 (TWP 21), 8/13/1833, 80 acres. c. David Richey. He is found here in the 1850 Census with extensive family (Census entry may be misspelled as Didama Adair): i. S7 (TWP 22), 12/31/1833, 40 acres. G. Miscellaneous notes: a. I looked for both Moses Pearson and any Carsons associated with the family and found no listings in this book. b. There are other Adairs in Pickens County and they are listed in the book. They include Wyman (or Weyman) Adair with five parcels with date range of 1832-1834 in Township 20, Range 16, and in Township 21, Range 16. Also included is William Adair with one parcel dated in 1836 for Township 22, Range 14. These may be distant cousins of our Adairs, but not ones with which there is a documentary association at this time. c. This study was undertaken with the goal of confirming the relationship of Joseph Adair with a father named James Adair as is established by Joseph Adair's LDS Patriarchal Blessing in which Joseph names his parents as James and Rebecca Adair. The close relationship found in these particular land records confirm this relationship especially since they also owned land together. There is one caveat, however, and that is that Joseph had a younger brother named Joseph Newton Adair who was born 11 Mar 1812 (Joseph was born 11 Apr 1806). There is the possibility that the James in the land deeds could be the brother and not the father, however, I don't believe this is the case. The 1830 US Census places James Adair and his family in Pickens County with him and his wife being aged 60-70. To be listed in the census he would have had to have had property. There is only one James Adair listed in the census and the younger James Newton Adair may be the male listed in the census that is age 15-20. BIRTH: 1.

| 1947 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Biographical info per the book "John Mangum, American Revolutionary War Soldier and Descendants," 1986, p. 7-16, by Delta Ivie Mangum Hale: "Shortly after the Rev. War, John married Mary Murdock. Mary was known by the nickname of Polly to the family. Her father was Hamilton Murdock. The date of their marriage is not known. Three children were born to John and Mary. The oldest, James Mangum, was born Dec. 6, 1791 at Newberry, So. Carolina. The next Child, Nancy, was born Nov. 11, 1794, and the third Child, Elizabeth, was born on Christmas Eve in 1798. Both Nancy and Elizabeth were born in South Carolina, but the town is not known. John's first wife, Mary, died, and after a time he remarried, this time to Gemima Goggins. John's brother William, was married to Gemima's sister, Anna. These two couples were apparently quite close, as John was the administrator of William's estate following William's death. Copies of the wills of both William and Anna are in the possession of the author. Two children were born to John and Gemima. The oldest, Cyrus, was born Jan. 5, 1805 [typo for 1803?] at Newberry. He went by the nickname of Russ. After he grew up he married and moved to Texas where he left a large posterity. The other child was born June 17, 1804. John's second wife died, and he was again left a widower." 2.

Sandy Run drains into the Little River. The town Bush River can be found due east of Newberry and due south of Kinards per copies of aerial photos and topo maps on file with me. Source of information for this is from the book "Laurens and Newberry Counties South Carolina: Saluda and Little River Settlements 1749-1775," by Jesse Hogan Motes, 1994, Southern Historical Press, Inc., Greenville, SC, p. 99: "Chain of title for Elizabeth Johnston [Johnson]; Lease and release 5 and 6 Aug 1779: Joseph Hays, blacksmith, of the District of Ninety Six, to John Mnagum, planter, of the aforesaid place, for ₤200, 100 acres in Berkley [old name for Newberry Co.] on the waters of Little River, in the fork between Broad and Saludy Rivers and is one-half of 200 acres of land granted to Elizabeth Johnston granted 19 Jun 1772 and conveyed by her unto sd.

Per email of Colleen Gwynn, gchistree@msn.com, 22 Feb 2005: "I have a cross-reference from the will of Peter Ruble of Newberry Co., SC, 16 May 1791 with the names Mary Murdock and William Murdock (3 names after Mary) listed in index of included names." Source is online South Carolina Dept. of Archives and History, Newberry Co., Spring Branch, MSS Will, Estate Record Book A., Page 100. She has not seen the will nor does she know if this is the right Murdock or not. I do not find a Peter Ruble in the 1790 So. Carolina US census. QUESTIONS: 1. Per "California DAR Ancestry Guide" by the California State Society of the National Society of the DAR, 1976: John Mangum, Revolutionary War private from South Carolina: "b. Jan 19, 1763, Mecklenburg Co. VA; m (1) Betsy Murdock (2) Gurnine Coughlin (3) Rebecca Knowles." children listed as "Infant (1st wife) b. ca 1801; d. infant," "Cyrus (2nd wife), b. Jan 5, 1803; d. young," and from 3rd wife: Jemima, William, Rebecca, James Mitchell, Joseph, Jennie, and Lucinda. [Note problems with names and order of wives.] 2. An interesting dilemma is to in which order Mary (aka Polly) Murdock and Gemima Goggins were wives to John Mangum prior to his third and documented wife Rebecca Canida. I looked at my notes and can find no documented proof either way. Delta Hales, in her Mangum book, of course places Mary first and then Gemima second. She also lists John's first three children with Mary, then the next two with Gemima. I have similarly used Mary first and Gemima second. Here are some thoughts: Delta seemed to have struggled a bit with this too. She lists Cyrus Mangum, who is generally supposed to be the first of two children born of the second marriage to Gemima, as having a birthdate of 5 Jan 1805. I have always thought she had a typo and it was meant to be 1803, but perhaps she did it deliberately. In either case it goes against two things, his stepbrother William Mangum when he did both Cyrus' baptism for the dead in early 1877 and then the endowment later mid-1877 at the St. George LDS temple gave the birthdate of 5 Jan 1803 consistently. William and his sister Rebecca Mangum Adair, both of the third marriage, did all the known siblings from the first two marriages of their father John Mangum. In each case, they had detailed birth dates for each of the siblings, which were then recorded into the temple record. Of course, William may have been in error; however, the second thing going for an 1803 date would be the 1850 Pickens Co., AL census and the 1860 Lavaca Co., TX censuses wherein Cyrus states his age respectively as 47 then 57. I am inclined to accept an 1803 date unless better documentation is later found. The deed below for Aug 1803, clearly shows Mary as the wife. Even Delta Hale shows the same deed information in her book - hence her moving Cyrus to an 1805 birthdate. She does not dwell further on Cyrus except to note he moved to Texas and had a large posterity. I think our research into Cyrus is more detailed than what Delta perhaps pursued. This leaves us with two logical scenarios: Mary was the second wife, not the first. She would then be mother to Cyrus b. 5 Jan 1803 and to his sister Mary, b. 17 Jun 1804, instead of Gemima. In that case, Gemima would have then most likely been mother to the first three children generally ascribed to Mary: James, b. 6 Dec 1791; Nancy, b. 11 Nov 1794; and Elizabeth, b. 24 Dec 1798; (and possibly an undocumented infant b. and d. circa 1801). Of course whose children are whose depends when wife no. 1 died and John married wife no. 2. Mary was indeed the first wife and Cyrus was her son (and possibly Mary also as a dau.) and Gemima was the second wife with either one dau. (Mary) or no children. I do not know which is correct without further data input. I also note that for whatever reason, when doing the baptisms for the dead, Rebecca Mangum Adair, did "Gemima Gogins" first than "Mary Murdock". She then did stepsiblings Nancy, Elizabeth, and Mary in that order which was by age. I also previously found a 1976 California DAR Ancestry Guide listing John's three wives as Betsy Murdock, Gurnine Coughlin, and Rebecca Knowles. And that Cyrus was from the second wife and born 5 Jan 1803. I am not sure who originally gave them that info, but it certainly does not help. Currently I am going to only show the dilemma as a note in my database notes until further light and knowledge is obtained. | Murdock, Mary or Polly (I1252)

He was the son of JOHNA LUMACE, a tailor of Thaxted and Braintree and AGNESA LINGWOOD and JANE MARLAN?, daughter of WILLIAMB and MARGARETA (PERYE) MARLAN? of Braintree. He was also the grandson of JOHNB LUMMYS, a carpenter of Thaxted, and Kryster [sic: Krysten] (Christian (___). JOSEPH1 married 30 June 1616 at Messing, county Essex, England, MARY1 WHITE, daughter of ROBERTA, a wealthy yeoman, and BRIDGETA (ALLGAR) WHITE of Shalford, county Essex. MARY1 was baptized 24 August 1590 at Shalford and died 23 August 1652 at Windsor. MARY1's younger sister, ANNA1, married ancestor JOHN1 PORTER. United States President Ulysses Simpson Grant (18th Chief Executive), Stephen Grover Cleveland (22nd and 24th), and Gerald Rudolph Ford, (38th), were descendants of MARY1's parents and Millard Fillmore (13th President), of her and her parents. JOSEPH1 was a woolen draper, He and his wife lived in Braintree until 1628. They moved to London and from there sailed with their eight children 11 April 1638 aboard the "Susan and Ellen", the same ship that ancestor Rev. PETER1 BULKELEY had taken in 1635. The LOOMIS family arrived in Boston 11 July 1638, they may have spent their first year in Dorchester, MA, but moved by land in the summer of 1639 to Windsor, CT, "Probably in the company of Reverend Ephraim Huet who arrived there August 17, 1639" (ref. 3). "On 2 Feb. 1640 he had granted to him 21 acres on the west side of the Connecticut River adjoining the Farmington River" (ref. 6). JOSEPH1 continued to acquire land and served on juries in 1642 and in 1644 with Nathaniel1 Foote, brother of ancestor MARYA FOOTE. "On 6 January 1650, he was sued by" [ancestor WILLIAM1 BUELL] "for trespass and for damage to the extent of seven bushels of corn; one may infer that his stock got away from him" (ref. 3). JOSEPH1 apparently left no will. His estate was valued at 178 pounds 10 shillings, with "a 'debt in England'" (ref. 3) of 12 pounds 14 shillings 6 pence against it. On December 1658, his wife having predeceased him, his five sons and three daughters (two represented by their husbands) signed an agreement in place of a will to divide JOSEPH's estate equitably among them.

| 1950 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Birth, baptism, death, and burial records found in Kharkov Panteleimonovskaya Church by Konnor Petersen. Orthodox church. Church books are in the Kharkov Archives and located per Records group 40, inventory 121, volume 66. Birth records 1894. Page 244 (back of the page) 10/11 February - Aleksandra, Parents: Nobleman Nikolay Lvov Filonov and Aleksandra Vasilieyva, Orthodox. Witnesses: Kharkov 2nd Guild merchant Petr Davidov Aleksandrov and widow of captain Olga Vasiliyeva Vysheslavceva (Вышеславцева) the sacrament of baptism was performed by a priest Vasily Vetukhov and deacon Nikolay Sokolskiy. Death records 1894. Page 382 (back of the page) - 383 10/12 December - Nobleman Nikolay Lvov Filonov his daughter Aleksandra 10 months from infant; the burial was performed by a priest Vasily Vetukhov and deacon Nikolay Sokolskiy, buried in the city cemetery. Email dated 30 Jan 2019 from researcher which accompanied above research; Dennis Baranov, rusgen.info@gmail.com: The work goes slowly because according to the rules of the archive the local researcher gets only a few volumes in a month. And we try to order and look through the volumes as quickly as possible. 1. We've looked through Blagoveshchenskaya church 1852 (Records group 40, inventory 105, vol. 10). Filonov surname is not mentioned anywhere - neither in births, nor in marriages or deaths, not in witnesses. 2. Panteleimonovskaya church 1888, 1889, 1890, 1891 (Records group 40, inventory 121, vol. 17). Filonov surname is not mentioned anywhere - neither in births, nor in marriages or deaths, not in witnesses. 3. Panteleimonovskaya church 1892, 1893, 1984, 1895, 1896, 1897. There are only records of birth and death for 1894. The report on this volume is attached. 4. For further research there is a suggestion to look through Krestovozdvizhenskaya and Ioannobogoslovskaya churches for 1888 - 1892 Panteleimonovskaya church was built in 1885 and part of parishioners from Krestovozdvizhenskaya and Ioannobogoslovskaya church were transfered to Panteleimonovskaya church. There is always an unusual research when it comes to nobility because they always traveled performing orders as officials. And we see in church books that the birth of children were in different churches. At this stage of the research I think that it will be right to stick to Krestovozdvizhenskaya and Ioanno-Bogoslovskaya churches. | Vasiliyeva, Olga (I3793)
