This supports the idea that Johnathan's sister Sarah, married into the Stonecipher family in Indiana.

"Sidney Breeze was born in Rome twp, Jefferson County Illinois Feb 15, and passed to his rest July 2, 1889...attended the country schools and the subscription schools and lived at home until his marriage, November 26, 1863, to Maria (Marion?) Stonecipher, who was born October 14, 1843, in Harrison County, Indiana, and a daughter of Jacob and Sarah Riley Stonecipher, the former being born in Harrison County and the latter of North Carolina. The Stoneciphers are of German descent, and the Rileys of Irish ancestry. Jacob and Sarah Stonecipher were the parents of six children, namely: William, a retired farmer, living in Centralia township; Franklin died during the Civil War, having been a member of Company H, 48th IL Volunteer Inf. His death occurred in TN. Sarah the third child married James Steward of Centralia, Illinois. Henry and Etta, the 4th and 5th children are twins. Henry is in the West. Etta is deceased. Marion (Maria?)was the second child in order of birth."

Jacob Stonecipher married Sarah Riley on Jan 5 1839, Harrison County, Indiana, Book A, page 96, could this be Sarah or Sallie daughter of Edward and Elizabeth? That would make her 35 yrs old when she married. Pretty Late tho! Good lead, check out Harrison County, Indiana!

[NI0326] One typewritten page of Madison County History, no title, author name or page number.

The Crooke name has been in Kentucky history since the year 1789. At this time John Crooke emigrated from Virginia to Kentucky and took up residence in Madison County. HIs title 'Major' came from his service with the Kentucky 'Corn Stalk Militia' in which he advanced from Cornet to Major. He was born February 10, 1766, in St Mary's County, Maryland, and moved when very young to Fauquier County, Virginia. While very young he took up arms against the British. He served in the army of George Washington and was present at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown in the year 1782.

On January 5, 1786, Major John Crooke was married to Ann D Reeves. They had thirteen children, which was not uncommon at that time, nearly all the children were born in Kentucky, since they emigrated to Kentucky a year of two after their marriage. At this time Kentucky was a part of Virginia, and many surveyors were in the state surveying out claims for Revolutionary soldiers. Major John Crooke was a very active man in his day and held the office of county surveyor. For eighty six years preceding 1900, some member of the family held this office, namely: Major Crooke, Kiah Crooke and Benjamin Crooke. In 1785, Madison was made a county while the state was still a part of Virginia and county surveyor holding office eight years by appointment.

When Kentucky was made a state in 1792 and three years later Major Crooke was elected county surveyor and held the office until the year 1847, a period of fifty two years, resigning but two years before his death. Because Crooke was a learned man for his day, he was called upon to teach school. He taught numerous men the art of surveying. One of his many anecdotes which have been told of him is that whenever a young man would ask him how far he should advance in mathematics in order to master surveying, he would answer, 'add two and two and put down four, but do not put down something else'.

After Richmond became the county seat, he laid off the city limits in a rectangle and called it the town tract of fifty acres. The largest survey on his books was made for John Jones for 16,000 acres about the three forks of the Kentucky river. Major Crooke was very gifted as a mathematician and he made tables of numbers such as the table of Legartitians and the traverse table. He made numerous maps with quill pens, and different colored inks, maps of Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky, and especially Madison County.

This very able pioneer made an arithmetic of his own; understood navigation, mastered the compass, made alemanacs and could foretell the eclipse of the Sun and Moon. Major Crooke was a religious man, a Methodist in faith and a great admirer of John Wesley and Lorenco Dow, and when called upon he could preach a good sermon. He died March 17, 1849 at the age of eighty three. He is buried on the small hill overlooking the Muddy Creek near Crooksville.

In December 1812, Major John Crooke, surveyed Boone's Trace. His great grandaughter, Mrs. John Green, Speedwell, Madison County has his compass used in the survey of Boone's Trace. She also has hundreds of copies of surveys which Major Crooke made during his years as county surveyor. Compass now on display at EKSU"

[NI0659] I am certain there is a connection between a Hermann Barnbrook, (possibly a brother) who was a Sargeant in the Civil War for three years, and a Herman Barnbrook who married Susan Kirk on March 10 1868 in Crawford Co, Illinois by Justice of the Peace, Z M Powers. Hermann and his wife, Susan, are found in the Robinson twp, Crawford Co, 1880 Illinois census with children, Sarah A age 15, John F age 11, Lacretia C age 6.

There is also some connection between Henry Barnbrook and his wife, Sophy found in 1850 German twp, Auglaize Co, Ohio. Their children were William, Mary, Sophy, Rosina, Frederich.

[NI0769] Taken from Springville Residents;
William Culmer was born in the county of Kent, England. He was the fourth of a family of 11 children. He was born to Stephen and Sarah Woodruff Culmer on March 1 1822.
When he was 13 years of age, the family came to the United States and settled in Alleghany County, Pennsylvania. In 1852, they moved to Lawrence County, Indiana and settled in Perry township.
Through the years, William Culmer engaged in the pursuits of farming and sotck raising. Mr Culmer accumulated some 400 AC of land which he readily improved. In 1846 he married Susanna Catherwood. Eight children were born to this marriage.
Education was of great importance to Mr. Culmer. Two sons, Charles C. and Stephen graduated from Asbury University, now known as DePauw University. John W graduated from the State University at Bloomington, now Indiana University. All three of the sons became ministers in the Methodist Episcopal Church.

"He began merchandising with Ollie Owen. Owen sold his interest in the Spring of 1856 to Zimri Garten. Four years later Monroe Crooke, Mr. Crooke's brother, entered the firm. The brothers bought out Mr. Garten's share. The two brothers operated the business until 1864. In 1855 Howard was elected Justice of the Peace, which naturally led him to study law, and for many years he was a reputable lawyer. In 1864 he was elected to the State Legislature where he served one regular and one special term with honor. In 1878 he was the Republican candidate for joint Senator for Daviess, Martin and Greene Counties and was defeated by a small majority.

One of the notable events of his life was the establishment of the Odon Exchange BAnk, which opened it's doors Sept 1 1890. Mr. crooke worked hard and faithfully to make it the sound institution which is it's present standard. It was Mr. Crooke's custom to walk from his home to the Bank, but about two weeks before his death, it became necessary that he be brought in a carriage, as he was almost unable to walk.

In his will which was made some months ago, his property is to be divided equally among the five heirs, and Albert Burrell, D B Smiley and Harry Crooke named as Executors. All of his business is to be closed within two years when the distribution of preperty is to be made. He was worth about $35,000 and his daily income was $7.00.

The funeral which was one of the largest that ever took place in Odon was held Sunday at 2:30 pm in the M E Church by Rev. L B Johnson, after which the remains were interred by the side of his wife in the old cemetary."

[NI0848] I do not like the gaps in between Susannah Phillips Rucker's birth and her marriage, and her marriage and birth of her first child. I think there is probably an error, or errors, here. She ends up having her children very late in life, and many of them. MORE RESEARCH NEEDED!

Preface from the Jackson street Cemetary by Mary Bondurant Warren, 1966. "The Jackson Street Cemetary was the original cemetary for Athens, Georgia, but its origins are lost in history. ONe burial, that of Mrs. Winifred Aycock Lane, is said to have taken place in this cemetary in 1794. This would have been one of the earliest burials, for Athens did not come into being until late 1801 when the University of Georgia was given 633 acres, including the area within the cemetary, by John Milledge. Prior to this time only a small settlement called Cedar Shoals (just downhill from the cemetary site) had formed around Daniel Easley's mill on the Oconee River."

Located just inside the gate from Jackson Street:
"Lane, Winifred Aycock 11 April 1741 - 16 Dec 1794, born NC, died GA, w/o Jesse Lane, d/o William Aycock & REbecca Pace Bradford [Possible burial - according to notes of Mrs. Frances Long Taylor and Miss Sarah H Moss, Winifred Aycock, dau of William Aycock was buried in ' a triangle formed by three large pine trees' in the Jackson Street Cemetary. Winifred Aycock married Jesse Lane in 1755. Her dates were taken from the family bible of John D Moss.] [Elberton granite, new stone placed 1983; family tradition places her burial in the area that became Athens - a further tradition puts it in this cemetary near the location of this stone.]

A letter written by Winifred Lane in 1791 about her family, might be found in the rare books and manuscript department of University of Georgia.

"We had no soldiers the day he was buried, only my mother and we children were allowed to follow him to the grave. My mother told us he was 62 years old...My mother managed the farm until the war was over, when our affairs were settled by the administrator. My brother Peter, got the home place. We children got 400 German Thalers, $300. (USDollars) each, and my mother was well provided for during her life. I went to work for my guardian after I quite school, for $12 (US)a year for the first year, and should have received $18 the second year, but I went to America after I had worked one and one quarter years. My brothers, Jurgen, Hinrich and sister, Katherina were already here (USA). I sailed on the Manburg steamer, "Borusia". Sister Christina came with us and a number of people from our neighborhood. We sailed up the Hudson River on a riverboat for quite aways, then took the cars to Dunkirk. They put us on a cattle boat, aacross Lake Erie to Toledo. We had to sleep on deck or some place where we could find shelter."

[NI1038] According to John Seemann's memoirs dated 1818, Christina Moldt had three brothers and one sister. One brother owned Gut Banstrufe, one Philsthal, and one Schrixdorf. ( I think these are farm names) .The sister also married. In 1918 there was still a Moldt living in Schrixdorf. Jurgen Moldt died in Wellwitt, Olsen. The Frese Presse, a paper printed in Lincoln Nebraska, had the following obituary:

"Olsen, Jurgen Moldt died in Wellwitt, the oldest man in Olsen, 98 years old."

That was in a paper printed in the first part of February 1918.

One of Christina's brothers, according to family legend, was a Secretary in the King's Cabinet of Sweden. John Seemann, in his memoirs says that he was told that when this brother died he left a fortune of four tons of gold, (a ton of gold was worth 600,000 thaler). He had no children, and the two brothers of John's father, as heirs, tried to get the money, but a Swedish General supposedly got it.

There is also a story that the same man loaned three tons of gold to the Danish government, for the term of one hundred years, on compound interest, and in 1918 the loan had been made 110 years ago (in 1808).

[NI1041] John B. Martin did NOT believe in alcohol consumption of any kind. But his father, Zachariah was known to "take a little medicine" from a bottle kept at the head of the bed.

Stephen and Rachel Price, according to family tradition, raised John B. because his mother died in childbirth. However in the 1860 census, he is shown, age 13, living in the household of his father and his grandmother, Elizabeth Price Martin.

[NI1064] Quoted from Biographical Sketches of Portage County, Ohio.
p 879, sketch on John Bonney b. 1806, son of John Bonney and Orilla Sherwood Bonney:

",son of John and Orilla Sherwood Bonney, who in 1813 were included with their family in a party of venturesome pioneers, consisting of Deacon B Sherwood, Wells Clark, David Beardsley and some few others, who immigrated to Ohio. The journey in those days was one of privation and exposure, the experience of our subject's parents being augmented by the presence of a family of seven children. They came via Pittsburgh through Trumbell County, and on the last day they were overtaken by a rain storm, which compelled them to camp in the woods. John Bonney Sr, purchased a piece of land, about 200 acres, in Nelson township, containing a small clearing, fenced with logs, and a log house and barn (there was a cranberry marsh west of these premises, which, in the dry season, caught fire and destroyed everything in the vicinity, save the buildings), and the following year he died, leaving his widow with eight children to provide for. Upon one occasion the family existed for three days and nights on the milk of one cow and a quantity of soft maple sap, when they were relieved by some lady residents of Windham township. About this time Buffalo was burned by the British, and our subject remembers hearing connonading on the lake. Bears, wolves and other wild game were plentiful, and at a hunt participated in by the inhabitants, twenty-five bears, six wolves and small game in abundance were bagged. When our subject was eighteen years old, he assisted his brother in clearing and fencing five acres of the old farm, and that year raised twenty-six bushels of wheat to the acre.

[NI1086] Taken from Nelson township History;
"In 1811, a large accession was made to the inhabitants of the town, by the arrival of Titus Bonney, Joshua Sherwood, Wells Clark and others with their families, from Cornwall, Litchfield County, Connecticut. The heads of the families were all members of the same church they left, and in 1813 they succeeded in organizing a Congregational Church in Nelson. It consisted of thirteen members, eleven of whom belonged to the same church in Cornwall. "

According to an item in the "Story of Marion County, Tennessee"
"The Raulston family originated in the British Isles in the land of the Celts, but today is called Scotland. In America, the Raulston family came into prominence in Augusta County, VA, where one John lived around 1742. His son Matthew came to TN in 1789 or within two years after that. His six children of whom settled in different parts of Tennessee. One son, James, born in 1778, is the patriarch of the Sequatchie Valley Raulstons." Submitted by Joseph T Fleming.

[NI1130] Can't find Euell or Sarah Kelly Rigg in the 1860 census, they both may have died prior to that date. There is a G. Rigg listed in 1860, Sangamon Co, age 36 and wife A. age 24. He would have been c. 1824 and could have been a son of Samuel and Nancy Vawters, but his birthplace is Illinois instead of Kentucky. There is also a female, S. age 76, b c. 1784 in Kentucky living with him, his mother? or could it be his father, the date works out right...

[NI1287] [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 3, Ed. 1, Tree #2558, Date of Import: Dec 10, 1998]

My mother was always the most warm and social person I ever knew. She had many friends and since she grew up in Louisville, she still had many contacts with old friends even as I was growing up. She was an only child, and maintained a close relationship with her mother, as witnessed by the constant flow of letters to her even as a little girl going off to camp, or a young lady reporting on her many suitors. She was very beautiful, and as a young lady was elected Queen of the cruise ship taking her to Europe. She also frequently modeled clothes and appeared in The Courier-Journal doing so. She was a constant support to me in the years of growing up, and I'll always remember her as the best influence on me in my early life. (BPC,1994)

He was the first of four "Samuel David Cochran's" thus far. I never knew this grandfather, since he died -probablly of a heart attack-when my father was about fifteen. He went to Georgetown College in Georgetown, KY, a Baptist school, where he graduated first in his class and won the Lafferty medal. I have some letters he wrote home from college to his parents, speaking of his religious conversion. (-B.P.Cochran)

[NI1433] Taken from Letters to the Editor, 1963 Robinson, Illinois Newspaper; Written by Charles C Boyd

Dear Editor; I wonder how many of you are interested in the stories about places and people duting the early days of Robinson and Crawford County. I have always liked them. I like to go through the woods and locate the old roads of those early days. One can locate them by the smaller trees and the lower ground level especially going up and down the hills.
The other day when I was at Paul Otey's Marathon Station and looked across the street at the home of Mrs. Wm D Flynn at 302 West Main, I remembered a story told me by Uncle David Schwanke, now deceased.
When he was a boy his family lived near St Mary's, Ohio. It was so swampy where they lived that they had to pile up mounds of dirt to plant their corn on. So his father decided to move to Pope County in Illinois where he had heard there was hilly country. Well, if you've ever been in Pope County, you will agree he had the correct information. They loaded all their belongings into two covered wagons; one pulled by a team of horses and the other by two oxen and started west.
Before they started out his mother bought his two sisters green calico dresses. Calico was a cotton cloth very common when I was a boy, but it must have been something new and wonderful in those days for Uncle David said it cost fifty cents per yard. He remembered that it was beautiful green til it was washed. Then it faded out to a beautiful white. He remembered too that after they had gotten into Indiana it was getting colder and his father stopped at a store to buy him some shoes. He did not want shoes. He wanted leather boots and raised such a fuss that he got them. Now leather boots in those days were not like the ones you see now. They came up to the knee, and the ones for boysusually had a brass plate on the toe so the boys would not wear them out so soon kicking rocks and such.
Well, at last they reached Illinois. They had planned to go to Paris Illinois and then turn South. The fall rains had begun and the front wagon got stuck in a mudhole. They had to put both teams to each wagon to get thru. By the time it was nearly night and they decided to camp near a farmhouse. Mr. Schwanke went up to the houseto see if he could get some feed for the horses and oxen. The farmer told him that there had been a killing frost that July and all he had was frostbitten fodder of which he could have all he wanted. By the time they had the corn cut a bad storm was approaching. It looked real bad; so the farmer came down and asked them to come to his house for the night, which they did. When he found out where they were going he told them a better route. So the next morningthey "double teamed" back thru the mudhole and took a road going south.
They finally reached Robinson and set up camp in the woods right where Mrs. Flynn's house now stands. Mr Schwanke went up town to a general store run by Mart Woodworth. Of course Mr. Woodworth asked him what his name was and where he was going. Everyone asked strangers those questions back in "them days". Mr. Schwanke told him where they were heading, but said that since it was getting late in the season and some of the family had the chills he would stop at Robinson, if he could find a farm that suited him.
When Mr. Woodworth found he wanted a hilly farm he told him he might have just what he was looking for, and took him out to see a farm that lay just west of the Old Grassy Hollow School. It suited Mr. Schwanke, but there was a renter living in the fourteen square foot log cabin. The renter, Mr. Harter, said he did not want to hold up the sale and would move-out as soon as he could find a place to go. He suggested that in the meantime the Schwanke fmaily just move in with them, which they did. Then for the next month, or two, fourteen people lived in that fourteen foot square, one roomed log cabin. At night they spread their beds all over the floor. Daytimes they rolled them all up and stacked them against one wall.
Mr. Schwanke lived on this farm until his death at a ripe old age and his descendants continued to live there until very recently; and it was by such as these that Robinson and our Crawford County became populated.
If any of this is not as it actually happened, or if there are any mistakes, I stand corrected. Remember this is a story told me several years ago; and then too I'm getting older every fifteen minutes and my memory may not be what it was yesterday. Charles C Boyd

[NI1440] Passenger Lists Frederich and Heinrich Schwenke, ages 48 and 16, on the ship "Albert" from Bremen to New York, 13 December 1850, from Prussia to Schnectady, New York.

Von Schwenke family came from Denmark in 650 AD. The Dukes managed large estates in Dosten, emsland and on the Fresenburg. From there, they settled in Bistum Munster, then Waldeck, Arolsen and Mengeringhausen. In the 1700's, the Von was dropped from the name and they became commoners.

Margaretha who married a man by the name of Frees. And they had three children, two boys and a daughter named, Josephine who is married with her second cousin Henry Seemann, son of Hans Seemann.

Christian (son of Hinrich and Dorothea Schutte?) inherited his father's farm. His wife's name was Anna Hansen, a sister to Dora Frank. They had four children, the eldest son died in Iowa, Henry Shutte, he left a wife and three children.

[NI1729] Odon Journal, January 10 1894 ;
Wm Crooke arrived home from Kokomo Wednesday where he has been engaged for some time as a clerk in a business establishment in that city. He will go to Terre Haute in a few days to accept a postion in the wholesale house of Hoberg, Root & Co.

[NI1747] Johann Hinrich and Anna Marie Seemann came from Brodersbye, Bremen to New York on "Germania" on the 22 September 1854 en route to Iowa, both age 54. Their son Henry, age 25, son Johann age 8, another Hinrich age 21 and Catharine Rehmke, age 21. ( I think the German way of naming sons, middle name being their 'given' name has confused the two sons named Hinrich. Catherine may have been a wife or fiancee of the 21 year old son)

[NI1775] Compilation of Pauline Brandy:

Emigration:Samuel relocated into the interior of South Carolina where opportunity and more fertile land was available. Samuel Ratcliff, Sr. and his three sons, Samuel Jr., Richard and James obtained land grants in South Carolina along Lynches Creek. A daughter, Rachel Ratcliff Goodson, obtained a neighboring grant at a later date. Their land is presently located in Lee County, South Carolina. The Ratcliff properties include a portion of present day Lee State Park, and areas further south of Bishopville, South Carolina along Lynches Creek.

Will: 1774-9; pg 582

Residence: Samuel Ratcliff, Sr, obtained threee North Carolina land grants and records indicate he and his two sons, Samuel Jr and James Ratcliff, developed plantations on Goshen Swamp. These plantations in North Carolina were called "Jerasalem", "Ratcliff's Chance", and "Ratcliff's Venture".

Religion: Samuel Ratcliff, Sr, was evidently disowned from the Quaker faith likely due to military involvement or marriage outside the faith.

Misc: The Ratdcliffs moved to South Carolina at about the same time as that of William and Jean Bell Byrd, who were close neighbors in North and South Carolina.

[NI1874] Sister to Henry's father, John Schnoor. Meaning he married his aunt.

"Richard Lane, b 1596 and his wife, Alice Carter emigrated with their family to Providence Island in the WEst Indies. It is uncertain whether Richard and Alice ever settled on the mainland, but their sons Samuel and Joseph, established branches of the Lane family in what would become the southern United States (Virginia, maryland, North Carolina). The Tortugas, mentioned in the text, are small islands about 50 miles west of Key West, Florida. Providence Island is probably in the Bermuda Islands, quite possibly the same as "New Providence Island," where Nassau, the current capital of the Bahamas is located. This speculation is strengthened by the fact that Richard and his son Oziel are supposed to have drowned off Eleuthera Island, on of the Bermudas.

1632, August 31 - A letter from Thomas Wiggin to Master Downing. Hopes one (Mr.) Lane, a merchant tailor, who has been in the West Indies, will talk with Mr. Humphreys concerning a certain staple commodity which he desires to plant in New England.

1633, Feb 15 - Minutes of a Court for Providence Island. Agreement with Mr. Lane to ship himself in the Company's pinnace for Fonseca, or if that island be not discovered to Providence, to plant his madder, teach his skill to the inhabitants, and be an agent for the Company in other parts of the Indies. A pattern of drugs and commodities likely to be procured in the Indies to be "sent along with the Indian" for their better discovery.

1633, Feb. 18 - Eight more servants assigned to Mr. Lane to be sent to Fonseca.

1633, Mar 26 - After debate the intended voyage to Fonseca is respited; the pinnace to be forthwith dispatched to Providence and touching at Association to take in Capt. Hilton and such as he may appoint for discovery of trade in the Bay of Darien. Mr. Hook to have his full number of servants, Mr Lane but six, with an addition by the next ship.

1633, April 10 - Letter from Company of Providence Island to Captain Bell, Governor. Twenty passengers now sent over. Desire he will assign portions of land in the most convenient places to Mr. Hook, Mrs. Bradlye, and Mrs. Lane. Request that Mr. Lane may be afforded every facility for planting his madder. Direct him to entertain Capt. Hilton with all fitting courtesy should he go in the pinnace to Providence, and to allow Lane and Roger Floud to accompany Hilton.

1633, April 15 - Instructions from the Company of Providence Island for Richard Lane, in case Capt. Hilton does not go with him from Association to Providence. After having planted his madder, to take on board Roger Floud and other persons not to exceed eight, as the Governor and Council of Providence think fit. To go to the Bay of Darien, with goods for trade. To provide against fear of discovery from the Spaniards, and foul weather. To use means to ingratiate himself and company with the Indians.

Then a James Coleman in Amherst married Anne Childers, July 15 1786 and she signed Milly Coleman. In the 1850 Middle TN census, found a Milly Coleman age 76 in Smith Co, TN.

Lafayette's remains were taken to Augusta for burial. The cause of his death was consumption brought on by old wounds received while in the army. He was 55 years old.
