"Died at his home in Marengo, on Monday morning, Nov. 12, 1906, Fred
Miller, age 57 years, 11 months and 1 day.  
Mr. Miller's death was not unlooked for as he had been sick for a
number of months past, and his malady failed to yield to treatment.
Fred Miller was born in Brunswick, Germany, January 11, 1849, son of
Frank Miller, a stonemason by trade.  In 1851 the latter came with his
family, consisting of a wife and three children, to America.  They lived
in the vicinity of Niagara Falls, New York where the father died in
1854.  In August, 1862, the family came to Iowa County and located at
South Amana, residing there three years and then moving to Marengo.  Fred
Miller was the youngest of three children born to his parents and at the
age of thirteen years began the work of a stonemason with his step-father
Henry Keye.  At the age of 17 he engaged in farming, and at the time of
his death he was the owner of considerable farming land in Iowa County.
On the 9th day of August, 18871, Mr. Miller was united in marriage
to Miss Christena Klever, daughter of Mrs. and Mrs. Fred Klever, of Pilot
township, and to them were born four children:  Mrs. John H. Tiernan, of
Fillmore township, Mrs. Ed Pope, of Troy township; Mrs. R.A. Simmons, of
Honey Creek township, and Mrs. Walter Smith of Hartford township, all of

Obituary in Marengo Republican of Marengo, Iowa, dated September 18, 1912:
"Mr. L.J. Shedenhelm, one of our most highly respected citizens,
passed from this life to his home eternal on Monday, Sept. 9th 1912, at
2:40 o'clock P.M.  He had been ill for many months, yet the people of the
city hoped that the exceptional vitality of the man would eventually
result in his recovery.  But is was not to be so.  The sufferer finally
had to yield to the grim Destroyer, and pass over the dark river of
death.  He was an enterprising citizen, an obliging neighbor, and one in
whom everyone placed implicit confidence.  He held the office of city
councilman at the time of his death, and gave to the municipality his
best efforts as a business man.
L.J. Shedenhelm was born in Seneca county, Ohio, on Feb. 2nd, 1843,
and was at the time of hes death 64 years 7 months and 7 days old.  He
was the youngest of eight children born to Mr. and Mrs. Grafton
Shedenhelm.  He grew up in his native state, and it was there that he
received a good education in the public schools and good training in the
principles underlying an honorable life.
He left Ohio when 20 years of age and came as far as Marengo, Iowa,
where the prospects looked inviting, staying for a time with his brother,
the late R.W. Shedenhelm.  He was married in this city on June 9, 1870
and to this union there was born two children, Mr. O.F. Shedenhelm, the
eldest, was born in 1873 in Chicago, whither Mrs. and Mrs. Shedenhelm had
moved in 1871; and Mr. G.W. Shedenhelm, born on the farm southwest of
town in 1876, both of whom survive, with the wife and a step-son, C.A.
Myers, who made his home with the family.  Seven grandchildren are also
left to mourn.  There also survive four brothers, G.U., H.D., J.W. and
Thos. M. Shedenhelm, all of Green Springs, Ohio; three half-brothers,
John G, of Wyandotte County, Ohio; Francis M., of Charlotte, Mich., and
J.M. of Marengo, two sisters, Mrs. Margaret Nevels, of Charlotte, Mich.,
Mrs. Mary L. Culver of Wyandotte county, Ohio, and a number of cousins
and other relatives in Ohio.
The family removed from Chicago later and settled on a farm
southwest of town.  By industry and economy he amassed a comfortable
income, and after twenty-three years labor, moved to Marengo in 1900 with
his faithful wife to spend their remaining days in ease and comfort.
Mrs. Shedenhelm was a member of no church, but practiced the
Christian virtues, and frequently attended the M.E. church.  He was a
member of the Knights of Pythias, and was highly regarded by his brethren
of the order.
L.J. Shedenhelm was a man of unimpeachable honesty and unassailable
integrity.  He was broad-minded, tolerant and sympathetic.  He was
popular with all, and his death will be widely mourned.  He was a hind
husband and an indulgent father, and the family will griever over their
loss.
The funeral services were held at the M.E. church on Wednesday
afternoon, Sept. 11th 1912, at 2 o'clock.  Rev. C.R. Zimmerman conducted
the services, assisted by the choir, and preached a sermon eulogizing the
character of the deceased.  The floral offerings were very numerous and
silently showed the respect to the dead and sympathy for the living.  At
the close of the services the remains were taken to the I.O.O.F. cemetery
for interment, the Knights of Pythias assisting at the last sad rites. 
The sincere sympathy of the community is offered the bereaved widow and
children." 1848 - 1915 Martha A. Wood 67 67 Alias:<ALIA> /Kipp/

Around 1856-1859, James Fuller was the lighthouse keeper at Barnegat Bay,
NJ, where their daughter, Harriet was born; but later moved to Iowa with
his wife, Hannah B. Southard and family.  They lived at Genoa Bluffs,
Iowa County, IA, where James ran the post office there for a time.  Both
James & his wife are buried in the Genoa Bluffs Cemetery  They had 5
children.
1860 New Jersey, Federal Census Index, page 244, Federal Population
Schedule, lists James Fuller in Ocean County, NJ, Union Long Beach Twp.,
# NJ24334978.
1870 Iowa, Federal Census Index, page 316, Federal Population Schedule,
lists James Fuller, in Iowa Co., IA, Sumner Twp. # IA018127190.
A history of the Barnegat Lighthouse, also called "Old Barney" states
that the first lighthouse at Barnegat Light was built around 1834 but by
1855, it had deteriorated considerably, being built of inferior materials
and it was recommended that the structure be replaced.  This necessity
was clearly demonstrated the following year, 1856, when the old
lighthouse toppled into the sea  during Keeper James Fuller's watch. 
This had been anticipated & the lighthouse had been abandoned, and the
lamps removed to a temporary wooden tower.    A new lighthouse (a red &
white tower) was built 900 feet south of the old site, completed in 1858,
overlooking Barnegat Inlet in New Jersey.   It was commissioned on
January 1, 1859.   
"***The lamp that had to be filled with kerosene each day and kept
burning through all kinds of weather.  The Keeper had to carry a large
can of fuel up the 217 winding stairs to the top each day.  He also had
to polish the lens each week, and keep the rotating mechanism operating
smoothly.  The lens was rotated by means of a weight on a rope that ran
down through the iron central core of the stairway and worked like the
mechanism of a grandfather's clock, only this one had to be wound every
hour.  In severe storms, the tower would sway so badly that the lens had
to be turned by hand since the mechanism would not work under such
adverse conditions.
The task of a lighthouse keeper was not easy, and, as the
lighthouses were usually in remote areas, it was also a lonely one. 
Sometimes, as at the Barnegat Light, the Keeper and his assistants were
able to bring their families with them."

and who became seriously ill Friday, May 17, from apoplexy, passed away
in her home in Marengo, Monday, May 27 at 1 a.m. at the age of 77 years. 
She is the last of a family of seven children to enter the eternal

Mrs. Miller was born in Holstein, Germany, August 9, 1851.  In her
girlhood days she was confirmed in the German Reformed church of
Germany.  At the age of 16 she came to America with her parents, Mrs. and

Walter Smith of Marengo, 7 grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
She was a member of the Order of Eastern Star for many years, but
was unable to be active in recent years because of physical disability. 
Mrs. Miller belongs to that great company of mothers to whom credit is
due for building a great nation upon the eternal qualities that spring
forth from a good home.  She loved her home and cared for it dearly. 
Mrs. Miller spent may hours reading good literature and she found her
source of strength and comfort in reading the Bible.  In the hours of
sickness she did not complain and was willing patiently to bear her
trials alone.

Born Sept. 7, 1895, in Iowa County west of Marengo, Lloyd was the son of
Raymond & Kate Miller Simmons.  He received his education of the rural
school west of Marengo, Iowa.  Starting as a mechanic for the Ford
dealership in Marengo, Iowa, in 1913, Lloyd bought out Frank Bishop's
interest in Bishop & Willenbrock in 1915 and the business was then called
Willenbrock & Simmons.  Lloyd Simmons' father, Ray, took over for his son
while he served nearly two years in the U.S. Army repairing airplanes
during Work War 1.  Much of that time was spent in France.  About 1919,
following Lloyd Simmons' return from the Army, his father bought out the
Willenbrock part of the business & it was known as Simmons & Son for a
number of years.  Lloyd Simmons' son, Bob, joined the business in the
1940. Lloyd retired after 50 years in the business.
Lloyd drove the first Ford truck that was brought to Iowa County.
His marriage to Lola M. Bean took place Aug. 25, 1919 in Montezuma,
Iowa.  They made their home throughout their married lives at 399 East
Washington street in Marengo, in the house he built for her, until Lola
broke a hip & suffered a stroke, after which time they lived at Rose
Haven Nursing Home.  (The original house that was at this location was
given to his son, Bob, and moved to 399 W. South St. in Marengo, where
Bob & his family lived for many years.)
A member of the American Legion & Knights of Pythias, he attended the
Presbyterian church.  He was one of the 3 original  builders and
operators of the first Marengo swimming pool that the Legion owned and
operated for many years.  He also helped build the Legion hall itself &
helped build the first telephone line.
Lloyd enjoyed fishing and was a well known sight in his 1929 Model A Ford
on which he had put nearly 400,000 miles by 1976.  It had been sold new
to a customer & he had repurchased it 5 years later and had continued to
drive it.
In later years, Lloyd & Lola purchased a trailer in a retirement
community in Florida where they would spend the winters, returning to
Iowa in the spring.
Lloyd was survived by one son (Robert), Marengo; two daughters, Betty
(Mrs. Dean) Wyant, Marengo; Phyllis (Mrs. Marion) Grant, Williamsburg; 13
grandchildren - Jim, Bob Jr, & Bill Simmons, Mary Roggentien, Joan Seye,

Iowa; Mark Grant, Austin, Texas; Linda Klotz, Colorado Spring, Colorado;
Suzanne Rose, Clinton, Iowa; Sally Boyd, Houston, Texas, Bill Wyant,
Marengo; and Sarah Wyant, Des Moines, Iowa; and 21 great-grandchildren. 
In addition to his wife and parents he was preceded in death by a
grandson, Ronnie Simmons and 2 great-grandsons, Todd & Jeffrey Simmons.
The following is taken from the Pioneer-Republican Newspaper of Iowa
County on the occasion of Lloyd & Lola's 50th Anniversary:
"Monday, Aug. 25, 1919, at the home of the bride's cousin in
Montezuma occurred the marriage of Lloyd Simmons, Marengo, and Miss Lola
Bean of Des Moines.
The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Simmons of Marengo and is a
member of the automobile firm of Willenbrock and Simmons.  He has but
lately returned from a year and a half spent overseas with the A.E.F. and
both at home and abroad has established for himself a foundation of
promises.

Mervin Allen Simmons was the namesake of his Uncle, Rev. Mervin Allen. 
(Family legends named Rev. Mervin Allen as a brother of Ethan Allen of
Revolutionary War fame.  While Rev. Mervin Allen had a brother, Ethan
Allen, he was not the famous Revolutionary War hero, this Ethan Allen was
born in 1780 and was an Episcopalian minister in Washington.  Mervin and
this Ethan Allen were the sons of Asahel Allen.)
From Obituary: One of the largest funerals held in Marengo during recent
years occurred on Tuesday morning August 31, at St. Patrick's church when
the last rites were performed for Mervin Allen Simmons.  A distinguished
assembly of friends and relatives from all over Iowa County gathered at
the church and business houses and professional offices were closed
during the fore noon as a mark of respect to the man who was a pioneer in
the material welfare and the moral ideals of this section of Iowa.  ****
In 1861, Mr. Simmons, imbued with the true pioneer spirit left the
affluence and luxury of life in the south for the rigors and wilderness
of the prairie.  In 1866 he was married at Iowa City in old St. Mary's
church to Miss Mary B. Agnew, the daughter of two Iowa pioneers, who had
also come westward from the Old Line State.  To this union were born
twelve children, nine of whom are still living.  They are Mrs. E.E.
Brunell of Minneapolis, Mrs. W.B. Johnson of Davenport, Mrs. Myrene
Shedenhelm of Gowrie, Iowa, Mrs. Arthur Brown of Marengo, Miss Therese
Simmons of Marengo, Ray Simmons, Mark Simmons, Paul Simmons of Marengo
and C.J. Simmons of Williamsburg.  Besides a large number of
grandchildren and great grandchildren, Mr. Simmons is also survived by
three brothers and one sister, John, Edwin and William Simmons and Mrs.
Ida Wanamaker.
Mr. Simmons was a leader in his community and for many years was
active in every forward movement for the benefit of Marengo.  He was a
marksman with a state wide reputation and was a promoter of every
wholesome sort of sport.  As a young man his religious convictions were
so strong as to always reflect the spirit of "the land of this sanctuary"
whence he hailed.  For a number of years in his early manhood before any
house of worship had been erected in Marengo, it was his custom to attend
mass beneath a large and ancient tree.  His wife's former pastor, the
Rev. Peter Emonds, came weekly on horseback from Iowa City, to minister
to the spiritual needs of the little flock of which Mr. Simmons was a
devout and ardent member.
****
Father Hannon who read the comforting message of the days epistle
taken from St. Paul to the Corinthians also paid a rich tribute to the
memory of the dead man.  He recalled Mr. Simmons many sterling qualities
as a community leader, an upright citizen and a pioneer in Christian and
national ideals.  Father Hannon paid equal homage to the manner in which
he lived in relation to his fellow man and to his warm and earnest
convictions with regard to the religion of his mother which he early
embraced and in which he lived and died.  Mr. Simmons example as a model
citizen and a Christian gentleman was one as worthy of emulation as it is
choice in remembrance.  The service was closed with brief prayers for the
dead and in Calvary cemetery, one of Marengo's grand old patriarchs was
lowered to his last rest by his four sons, Ray, Mark, Paul and C.J.
Simmons and his two grandsons, Mervin Brown and Lloyd Simmons. 1845 - 1918 Mary Virginia Agnew 72 72 Alias:<ALIA> /Molly/

Harold Frederick Martinson was born to Frank & Irene Schwarting
Martinson on January 26, 1929, in Williamsburg, Iowa.  He was baptized
and confirmed at First Lutheran Church in Hilton Twp., Iowa County.  He
graduated from Hilton Consolidated High School in Conroy in 1946 and
married Lorraine Shedenhelm on October 15, 1948 in Norway, Iowa.  Early
in their marriage, Harold & Lorraine made their home on her parents farm
in Hilton Twp., later moving to Marengo.  In the early years of his
career he was employed at Amana Refrigeration and Collins Radio in Cedar
Rapids.  He was owner and manager of a TV sales & service business in
Marengo, Blairstown, and Cedar Rapids for many years.  He also was host
at Colony Village Restaurant and managed the Colony Village Self Serve
gas station on Interstate 80 .  After 1983, he owned and operated Marengo
Repair Service at the corner of Hwy 6 & V66 in Marengo.
Survivors include his father, Frank, of Marengo; a son, Harold Jr.,
and companion, Ella Keiser, of Marengo; four daughters:  Ava Simmons and
husband, Robert Jr., of Marengo; twins, Sharen Martinson, of Malibu,
California, and Karen Martinson, of Marengo; a daughter, Donna Martinson,
of Marengo; two sister:  Mary Ellen Sandersfeld and Gloria Burgy, both of
Amana; a brother, Edwin Martinson, of Center Point; and a very special
friend, Mary Betz, of Marengo.
Also surviving are his former wife, Lorraine Martinson Smith of
Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas; and five grandchildren, Cory and Cody Simmons,
and Kendra, Ivy and Emily Martinson.  He was preceded in death by his
mother, Irene, and two grandsons, Todd and Jeffrey Simmons.
Harold was a man of many talents and interests.  He was an avid
collector, saving all sorts of gadgets no one else would consider
useful.  He was an inventor.  There was no problem he would not tackle
and he always came up with a solution in his own uniquely creative way. 
His knowledge of machinery was amazing and he took great pride in these
skills and in his vast collection of tools.  He approached each task with
thoroughness and care, no matter now small the job.
He loved to read and he loved to listen to fine music which he found
relaxing and therapeutic.  There was a fondness in his heart for all
animals, and over the years he befriended many a homeless stray or hurt
animal and gave it a home or nursed it back to health.
His real passions, however, were his love of nature and his love of
flying.  Harold loved the outdoors and spent countless hours in the
country on the farm where he grew up and where he resided the last few
years with his father.  Equally strong was his passion for flying.  He
loved the feeling of soaring through the sky in an airplane and his dream
was to one day build his own Ultra-Lite and fly it.
His first love was always his family.  He was devoted to his
father.  He loved his children and gave of himself unceasingly, and his
grandchildren were especially dear to his heart.
Harold was a lover of life.  This was obvious to everyone who knew
him.  His customary greeting was "Smile when you think those thoughts!" 
More often than not, he had a twinkle in his eye as he eagerly shared the
latest discovery in natural healing or hypnotherapy with any willing
listener.  He wasn't afraid to be different - and what he believed, he
believed strongly.
With this same fervor, he devoted himself to his family and friends,
offering a helping hand without being asked, and always supporting the
cause of the underdog - the sick, the poor or the disadvantaged.  He
chose to see in his fellow human beings not their shortcomings, but
instead their potential.  To this end, he devoted endless hours to
self-education and study learning to help others help themselves.  He
received his certification in hypnotherapy from the International
Association of Counselors and Therapists and perfected these techniques  1839 - 1924 John Baker Simmons 85 85 REFN: 196

Obituary:  Another member of Marengo's older generation passed away when
Edwin Augustine Simmons answered the final summons on Sunday morning
January 2, at two o'clock at the home of his son-in-law and daughter,
Mrs. and Mrs. Clarence Brown.
Mr. Simmons was born in Emmettsburg, Frederick county, Maryland, on
the twentieth day of February, 1845.  He was the son of Baker Howard and
Therese Ann Jarboe Simmons.  His father was a wealthy slaveholder and he
owner of large plantations.  ****
Besides inheriting the distinguished traditions of his ancestors,
Mr. Simmons had all the appearance of a gentleman of the old school --
tall, erect, handsome even in the last days of his life.  He was a devout
member of that faith, the members of which were the first to grant
religious toleration to all when the land of his nativity was first
colonized and on April 18, 1880, he was united in marriage with Miss Ann
Kenely of Baltimore, Md by the Rev. James Gibbons, then a young priest
and now the venerable Cardinal Archbishop of Baltimore.  To that union
three children were born:  Raymond Howard, Mary Florence, now Mrs.
Clarence Brown, and Edwin Kenely.   The young mother was called from the
little brood when the last child was but nine days old and to Mr. Simmons
was left the sorrowful and arduous task of rearing his little ones
alone.  In 1887 he came to Marengo and engaged in farming, since retiring
from active life several years ago he has made his home with his
daughter, Mrs. Clarence Brown. 
****
Father Carroll delivered a touching and beautiful eulogy upon the
life of the departed man.  He recalled Mr. Simmons as a high type of
Christian manhood and an example to be followed by those who will cherish
his memory.  He urged the bereaved friends and relatives to cleave to the
path of right and duty as the dead man had always adhered to the
teachings of the faith in which he was born and reared and remained
faithful all the days of his life and in whose rich spiritual
consolations he passed peacefully from this earth. 
(NOTE:  The date given for marriage above is incorrect.  That is the date
of the death of his wife, Ann.  Also the obituaries for both Mervin &
Edwin state that they were descended from Captain Ethan Allen of
Revolutionary War fame.  This is not correct.  Their father's sister,
Belinda, was married to Rev. Mervin Allen, who had a brother Ethan Allen,
who became an Episcopalian minister in Washington, but he was not the

Jehial went to Bismark, ND to take up a claim, where he was injured by a
horse and died in 1887.
Obituary taken from the Bismark (Dak) Settler, September 29, 1887:
"At four o'clock on Saturday morning, September 24, 1887.  Jehial
Wood died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Owens, on Eighth Street
in this city, of injuries sustained in a struggle with a fractious bronco
a few days previous.  The deceased was born in Jefferson county, New York
in 1820.  At the age of thirty-eight he came west to Illinois and Iowa,
and in 1881 moved to Montana, returning in 83 to Burlington county,
Dakota, and taking a homestead five miles north Menoken.  On Tuesday
morning of last week, while he was holding a team by the bits, the horses
became frightened and tried to run.  Mr. Wood held on to the bit till the
near horse reared and, it is thought, struck him to the ground.  In
falling he struck on his head, and one shoulder was broken.  He then rode
fifteen miles into Bismark to his daughter's to be near to medical aid,
and after the bone was set rested comfortably about twenty-four hours. 
Later he became paralyzed, entirely losing his voice, and continued in
that state till he died.  Mr. Wood was a man highly respected by those
who knew him.  He leaves a widow and grown family of two sons and four
daughters.  Rev. W.F. Cook of the Methodist Church conducted the funeral
service." 1823 - 1908 Mary Ferren 84 84 Alias:<ALIA> /Polly/

The following excerpt is taken from the obituary in the Pioneer
Republican newspaper of Iowa County dated July 1, 1943:
"Death came Saturday to Charles Albert Myers, 77, a barber in
Marengo and Omaha for 55 years, most of the time in Marengo.  While he
had been bedfast for three years, his final illness dated back only one
week.
Interment was in the I.O.O.F cemetery
Mr. Myers was born at Sheffield, Ill., August 27, 1865.  In his
younger years he lived at Sheffield, in Lucas County and Iowa County and
with an uncle, Will Woods of Bismark, N.D., returning from there to
Marengo where he learned the barber trade in the shop owned by Banks
Allum, on the same location as the present Earl Myers shop.
Later Mr. Myers moved to Omaha, where in December 1887 he was united
in marriage to Miss Olive Little.  In 1900 they came back to Marengo and
Mr. Myers opened a barber shop in the building now housing the Louis
Paine shop.  Three years later he moved his shop to the building on the
south side of the square now occupied by the shop of his son Earl.  Here
he continued to work at his trade until retiring seven years ago.
Mr. Myers had been an active barber for more than 55 years.  A story
telling of his rather unusual accomplishments was carried in an issue of
the National Barber Magazine.
During his active years, Mr. Myers was an enthusiastic member of
various fraternal orders.  He was past master of Marengo lodge No. 114,
A.F.&A.M. and he was a 32nd degree Mason, holding membership in both the
Shrine and the Consistory.  A number of years ago he was active in both
the I.O.O.F. and Knights of Pythias orders, as he was also in the
Patriarchs Militant when M.A. Raney, former Marengo editor, was its
highest ranking official for the entire world.  He was also a member of
the Order of Eastern Star.
Among those bereaved by his passing are his widow, two sons, Earl
and Howard, both of Marengo; six grandchildren and one half-brother, O.F.

11th Iowa Infantry, under Captain Bea Rose.  He was called immediately in
to active service and passed through some of the most terrible battles in
the war.  The four principal ones were Vicksburg, Shiloh, Corinth and
Pittsburg Landing.
In all the service he gained the esteem of his officers and was
regarded as a man to be depended on.  Oct. 17th 1864, he was mustered out
and returned to this city, where he has been living ever since.  In June
1870 he was married to Miss Flora B. Woods, of Marengo, who survives
him.  Of the family four children are living, Grey and John, Mrs. Ida
Eastridge, of Marengo, and Mrs. Estella Harris of Des Moines.

Knud Martinson, the son of Martin & Annie Peterson Martinson, was born on
December 25, 1852, near Stavangar, Norway.  He emigrated to America on
July 16, 1872, and came directly to the vicinity of Conroy, Iowa, where
he worked until 1880.  He then purchased a farm on which he lived for
nearly 50 years.  Land Deed Record 39 page 47, Office of the Iowa Co.,
IA, Recorder, shows that Knud W. Martinson purchased the E 1/2 SE 1/4 of
Sec. 17, Twp. 80 North, Range 10 West of the 5th P.M., Iowa County, Iowa,
on March 22, 1980. 
Knud & Ellen Larson were married on April 20, 1881, and to them nine
children were born.
Knud died on September 18, 1929 at the age of 77 years, 8 mo and 23 days
after a lingering illness (prostate cancer).
It was noted of Knud that "he was a man of quiet and retiring ways and
had secured a competence through his industry and frugality".  Also, "in
his early childhood, Mr. Martinson was confirmed in the Lutheran faith
and ever since has been faithful to the teachings of that church.  It was
in God's work and sacraments that he was comforted in the last weeks of
his life."
In another obituary, it was noted of Knud that he "... lived in Hilton
Township for nearly sixty years, coming here with the big inrush of
pioneers and his thrift and industry contributed much to the bettering
and development of the old community.  He was a man of splendid
character; in any cause he knew to be right, he displayed the courage of
ancestral Vikings.  As husband and father he filled every obligation to
the limit, and as friend and neighbor he might well be cited as a perfect
type ready to go to any length to aid one in distress.  He was of a
deeply spiritual nature; early in life he was baptized in the Norwegian
Lutheran church and to this faith he was constant to the end of his
days.  Even tempered, quiet and unassuming, he found the greatest
pleasure in living the Christian life, providing for his family, and
performing the duties of the loyal citizen.  He was a constant exemplar
of the worth of right living and only the Infinite could place a right
appraisal on the splendid example furnished by his fruitful life...."
Knud and Ellen are both buried in the First Lutheran Church Cemetery. 
Their son, Edwin, who died not yet reaching his 13th birthday, is buried
next to them.
Their son, Frank, remembered his parents speaking almost exclusively
Norwegian at home.
All the children helped on the farm from an early age.

Rosa & William's first child (William Puegner Meier) was born out of
wedlock & only lived about a month.  According to custom in the Amana
Society, couples who had children out of wedlock were forbidden to marry
until they had made penance to the church, etc.  Apparently this was the
case with Rosa and William, as they did not marry for a year after the
birth of their first son.  They went on to have a daughter, Lydia Rosa &
a son, Adolph Alfred (who died at the age of 2). 
Rosa Meier's probate file contains her handwritten will, which was
written in German.  A certified translated copy, signed by A.I. Solbrig, 
is also included which reads as follows:
"High, Iowa
January 4, 1939
Rosa Meier born Puegner.  Since a person does not know what may
happen to him (or her) therefor, while I am still able, I will put my
will in writing.  Everything that I have:  the furniture, my share of the
house and garden, and what shares are left, shall belong to my daughter,
Lydia Furlong.  She shall not sell the house as it has always been our
home.  I hope that everything will be carried out properly and for the
best.  Written the 4th day of January, 1939, at 2:00 p.m.

The family home was located in the Village of High, Lot 2 Block 2, which

John Slaymaker, third son of Mathias Schleiermacher, married Elizabeth
White and had 11 children.
He was in Braddock's campaign as a wagoneer.  He was put to draw a cannon
at the place of rendezvous, and took it into battle on the day of
Braddock's defeat.  He had eleven horses to pull it on that day, which
were all shot before the retreat.  Most of the American troops were
killed in the conflict, but John came off safe.  In 1776, he marched at
the head of a company to Bergen, New Jersey, was in the skirmish on
Chestnut Hill, under General Bull, when Bull was taken prisoner.   John
was later chosen county commissioner.
John was an Elder in the Leacock Presbyterian Church, situated on the Old
Road, about 15 miles east of Lancaster City, PA, and it was incorporated
March 10, 1787, by act of General Assembly of Pennsylvania.  Trustees in
said act of incorporation were Rev. N.W. Semple, James Craig, John
Slaymaker, G.E. McIlvaine, Henry Slaymaker Jr., Wm. Porter, Wm. Clayton
and James Cooper.  Adjoining the church is the graveyard which has been
and still is used as burial place by many of the descendants of Mathias
Slaymaker, and is his own resting place.  The church was started in the
early part of 1700.
The following is taken from "Colonial and Revolutionary Families of
Pennsylvania, Volumes 1-111:
"John Slaymaker, the second son of the emigrant, was a soldier in
the Provincial service in the second expedition against Fort Du Quesne,
and at the outbreak of the Revolution was commissioned a caption in the
First Battalion, Lancaster County Militia, being a colleague of Captain
Henry Kendrick, of the same battalion, and both were in active service
during a great part of the war for independence."  Elizabeth White REFN: 381 D. 1763 Mathias Schleiermacher REFN: 382
Mathias Slaymaker was the immigrant ancestor.  The German name was
Schleiermacher.  He was born in Hesse Castle in Germany, from which place
he migrated to the city of Strasburg.  His immediate family were very
prominent people of position and eminence and early in the Reformation
embraced Protestantism.  Mathias had two brothers who continued to reside
in Germany.  One, a clergyman, was for some years secretary of the German
legation, at the Court of St. James, and afterwards Charge d'[Affaires.  
His other brother was a major in the King of Prussia's full regiment. 
By a strange coincidence, a Major Schleiermacher, an officer of Hessian
Troops in the British army, was one of the Hessian officers captured by
the American forces during the Revolution and was confined in the
Lancaster jail.  He was probably a descendant of one of the brothers of
the American emigrant, Matthias Slaymaker, Sr., who was married prior to
his emigration.  Mathias came to America about 1710.  He and his family
settled on a tract of 1,000 acres, which he purchased from a company
called the London Company and known as the "London Lands", situated in
Strasburg Township, now Paradise Township, and built a log house near a
spring not far from the present village of Williamstown, Lancaster
County, PA.  He was married in Germany to Catherine, and had 5 sons,
Lawrence, Mathias, John, Henry & Daniel, and two daughters, Margaret &
Barbara.  Lawrence and Margaret were born in Germany; the other five
children were born in Lancaster County, PA.  All of these sons, with the
possible exception of Lawrence, the eldest, were soldiers in the patriot
army during the Revolution, In the Lancaster County Militia, as were also
some of their sons.  Mathias Slaymaker, as well as his sons, were noted
for their gigantic stature and strength, which was of great advantage in
those days, as the Indians were all around them. (Source:  Colonial and
Revolutionary Families of Pennsylvania, Volumes 1-111)
Mathias lived to an advanced age and died about 1762, and is buried in
Old Leacock burying ground, which has been the burying place of many of
his descendants.  Mathias left the bulk of his property to his four sons,
Mathias, John, Henry and Daniel, with a small portion being given to his
two daughters, Barbara and Margaret, and also to his granddaughter, Anna
Barbara (child of deceased son, Lawrence), who was raised by Mathias,
after he petitioned the court for custody from her mother and
step-father, Jacob Pfoutz.   Mathias' youngest son, Daniel, was Executor
of the will as follows:
"Will of Mathias Slaymaker
In the name of God Amen the twenty fifth day of November in the year
of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and sixty two, I Mathias
Slaymaker, of Strausburg Township, Lancaster County, and province of
Pennsylvania, yeoman being very sick and weak in body but of perfect mind
and memory, thanks be given unto God therefore calling to mind the
mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to

principally and first of all I give and recommend my soul into the Hands
of God that gave it and my body I recommend it to the Earth to be buried
in a Christian like and decent manner nothing doubting but at the General
Resurrection to receive the same again by the mighty power of God and as
touching such worldly Estate where with God hath been pleased to bless me
in this life I give and dispose of the same in the manner and form
following first of all it is my will and I do order that all my just
debts and funeral charges be paid and satisfied, second I give and

Lawrence Slaymaker, oldest son of Mathias Schleiermacher, was born in
Germany and came to this country with his father.  He died some years
before his father.  Lawrence Slaymaker married Eva Eckman, and had one
daughter, Anna Barbara, who at the death of Lawrence was then under the
control of her mother and Jacob Pfoutz.  Apparently they treated her so
badly that her grandfather, Mathias Slaymaker had her taken from them and
raised her himself, as shown by the following:
"To the Worshipfull the justices of the Orphans' Court, held at
Lancaster, for the said county, Dec. 4, 1752.  The petition of Mathias.  
Humble Shewith Yor Petr was appointed Guardian to Barbara Slaymaker an
orphan (daughter of Lawrence Slaymaker, dec'd. he being the grandfather
of the said Barbara.  That at the request of Eve the wife of Jacob Pfoutz
and mother of the said Barbara, she the said Barbara was put onder the
care of the said Eve on condition that she, the said Eve and her Husband
would behave to the said child in a kind and tender manner which they
have by no means have done but on the contrary have at all times used her
very ill Especially Jacob Pfoutz her father in law of which the said
Barbara hath frequently complained.  Wherefore your petr prays your
worships to order that the said Barbara be taken from the said father in
law and put under your petr care and your petitioner is willing to
educate and bring up the child without charging for her maintenance or
education.
And your petr as is Duty Bound, will pray

Second son of Mathias Schleiermacher, was Lieutenant in 1st Battalion,
3rd Co. during Revolutionary War.
The following is taken from "Colonial and Revolutionary Families of
Pennsylvania, Volumes I-III:
"Matthias Slaymaker Jr was a private in the company commanded by his
brother, John, is 1776-77.  He was later commissioned lieutenant of a
company commanded by Captain Alexander White, in the same battalion,
which in 1780 was in active service under Lieutenant-colonel, George
Stewart, William Slaymaker, son of John, being ensign of the same
company.  In 1781, Matthias Slaymaker was promoted to captain of a
company in the same battalion, and as such was enrolled in the service of
the United States, at Lancaster, his term in the Continental service
extending from June 28 to July 30, 1781, though he was captain of militia

Henry Slaymaker, fourth son of Mathias Schleiermacher, married Faithful
Richardson and had 10 children.  He was born in August, 1734, married
April 23, 1754, and died September 25, 1785. 
Henry served in the Revolutionary War as an Ensign of a company commanded
by his uncle, John Slaymaker.
He was an active and conspicuous Whig during the Revolutionary War and
among the first to take a stand with the Republic.  Active measures were
taken by the British authorities to prevail on the inhabitants to take
protections from the Crown.  Henry Slaymaker was called upon to take one,
but refused.  Being a magistrate, he administered the oath of allegiance
to those who espoused the cause and was prompt in suppressing any efforts
on the part of the Tories at insurrection and in punishing them for
furnishing the British with horses and provisions, which they were
stealing in the eastern end of Lancaster County, PA.  He was a member of
an association of young men who entered into articles of agreement for
the purpose of suppressing all who were Tories, and he had at all times
information of what was going on so as to suppress any attempt at rising
against the Republic, and he would order them out when any information
was given of the presence of Tories in the neighborhood. 
He helped clear the ground where the old jail stood,  now the site of
Fulton Opera House.  After Mr. Hubley became too old to try cases, Henry
Slaymaker was appointed principal Judge.   He was a delegate to the
convention for framing a constitution of the State of Pennsylvania, which
met in Philadelphia, July 15, 1776. He was a member of the Legislature of
Pennsylvania and an elder of the Leacock Presbyterian Church, Lancaster
County, PA.  He was very prominent in the local affairs of Lancaster
County. 1746 - ~1799 Daniel Slaymaker 53 53 REFN: 533
Daniel Slaymaker, who died in 1801, was the youngest son of Mathias
Schleiermacher, and was left as executor of his father's estate.  He
married Agilis Young and had five children.
Daniel was with General Washington under General Braddock when Braddock
was killed by the French and Indians, near where Pittsburg now stands. 
He enlisted as a private during the Revolutionary War  and marched to
Virginia with the army and was detailed as a teamster.  At one time,
probably Brandwine, when in full retreat, three of his horses were shot,
the one at the side of the tongue was not injured (he was blind).  Upon
this horse, Daniel mounted and made his escape, saving only his rifle.  
While encamped in Virginia with a small division of the army, Daniel was
on picket duty and while there engaged,  a Hessian soldier made some
insulting remarks which exasperated Daniel, who raised his rifle and shot
the Hessian solder.  He was courtmartialed, the circumstances related
which brought about the shooting, and he was cleared.  Near the end of
the war, he took camp fever and did not recover until after the end of
the war.   ~1725 - 1796 Anna Barbara Slaymaker 71 71 REFN: 534
Barbara Slaymaker, daughter of Mathias Schleiermacher, was born in 1758
and died in 1831.  She married Hieronimus Eckman, whose land adjoined,
and they had 8 children. <1708 - <1795 Margaret Slaymaker 87 87 REFN: 535
Margaret Slaymaker, oldest daughter of Mathias Schleiermacher, was also
born in Germany and came to this country with her father.  She married
Michael Fickel.  In some records Fickel is Pickel. 1755 - 1837 Amos Slaymaker 82 82 REFN: 536
Served as ensign in the company commanded by his uncle, Capt. John
Slaymaker.

The following is taken from obituary In the Marengo Republican, Marengo,
IA, dated June 28, 1927:
"DEATH TAKES IOWA COUNTY WOMAN
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Slaymaker, one of the oldest members of the
Slaymaker-Shedenhelm families, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
N.T. Wyant, southeast of Marengo early Saturday morning at the age of 81
years, 1 month and 23 days.  Funeral services were held at the Methodist
church Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Fred Evans,
Jr.  A quartet composed of Mrs. Maude Bishop, Mrs. Milton Brown, Richard
Bryant and A.H. Turner, sang "Rock of Ages,", Nearer My God to Thee" and
"In the Sweet Bye and Bye," songs which Mrs. Slaymaker had selected
before her death.  Members of the Rebekah lodge attended the services in
a body.  Burial was made in the Ladora cemetery.
On May 2, 1846 in the beautiful Pleasant valley, near Fredericktown,
Knox county, Ohio, in the home of Samuel and Mary Ann Walter, a girl was
born, who was named Mary Elizabeth.  Her childhood was spent in that
community, and a part of her girlhood was lived at Harper's Ferry, Md. 
On Oct. 1, 1872, she was married to Francis A. Slaymaker, of Seneca
county, Ohio, living the first 11 years of their married life near Green
Springs.  During this time two daughters and two sons were born:  Ida L.,
now Mrs. S.K. Rosenberger of Ladora; Sadie M., now Mrs. N.T. Wyant of
Marengo; Orson Bernard of Ladora; and Rufus Earl of Murray.
In the spring of 1883 this Slaymaker family moved to Iowa county,
arriving in Marengo on April 26.  The greater part of the time since that
date was lived in Sumner township.  In the year 1913 Mrs. and Mrs.
Slaymaker retired from the farm and moved to Marengo where the husband
and father died Oct. 8, 1917.  Since that time "Aunt Mary" as she was
familiarly known, lived alone until four years ago when failing health
compelled her to close her home and live with her daughter and
son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. N.T. Wyant, where she passed away peacefully
early in the morning of June 25.
Early in life she became a member of the Baptist church, but after
coming to Iowa she united with the Methodist church at Sumner Centre and
later transferred to Marengo, where she enjoyed both the church services
and the Sunday school, and helped at times with the work of the Ladies'
Aid society.  She was also a member of the Rebeckah lodge of this place.
Of the immediate family, her four children, 11 grandchildren and
eight great-grandchildren remain to mourn the loss of a loved one." ? Masters REFN: 581 Myrtle Short REFN: 582 Walter W.

Taken from the Historical Account of the Schall/Shaull Family published
by June Lutz:
"David had a small homestead about 1 1/2 miles north of Tiffin,
Ohio.  He was a pensioner of the War of 1812.  He returned to Virginia
after 1814 7 then removed to Seneca Co., Ohio, where he died.  He was
with General Harrison at a camp located near Ft. Seneca & served as a
water boy.  He is buried next to his brother, Bartholomew, who changed
the spelling to Shaull." Elizabeth Kime REFN: 622 1907 Mary Glene Shedenhelm REFN: 623 1797 - 1868 Jane Margaret Blue 71 71 REFN: 624 1778 - 1852 George Shedenhelm 73 73 REFN: 625
George Shedenhelm lived 3 miles North of Tiffin in Hopewell Twp., Seneca
Co., Ohio.  He lived just North of the Nicolas Schal/Shaull farm.  It is
said they spoke mostly German in their home.  George and Catherine are
both buried in Fravell cemetery which is located on the land once
homesteaded by Nicholas Shaull III and his wife, Elizabeth Benner Shaull.
We find the last name spelled with many variations:  Schickenhelm,
Schidenhelm, Shittenhelm, Shetenhelm.
George is listed in the census of 1850 as residing in Hopewell Twp.,
Seneca County, Ohio.  The census was taken August 16, 1850 by R. Cum
Ass't Marshal, and on page 306, line 16, George Shedenhelm's birthplace
is listed as MD, and his age as 71.  This would substantiate the
birthdate of Dec. 28, 1778.  George Schickenhelm married Cath. Leas on
March 19, 1805, according the the marriage records of the Reformed German
Lutheran Church of Frederick, MD, page 1171. 
Following is a copy of the Will of George Shedenhelm:
"June the 11th 1850

REFN: 626
According to the History of Seneca County, Ohio, by Warner, Beers & Co.,
published in 1886, at page 557, "Catharine Shedenhelm, wife of George
Shedenhelm, who migrated to Seneca County, Ohio, in or about the year
1832 and settled three miles north of Tiffin, in Hopewell Township"
Catharine lived to nearly ninety years of age, and is mentioned in a
letter from her son, Henry Shedenhelm, to his brother, Levi Shedenhelm,
who had migrated to Iowa Co., IA, in September 1853, with the wagon train
of his father-in-law, John Anthony Rosenberger, Levi having married John
A's eldest child, Margaret Elizabeth Rosenberger.  From the tone of this
letter, it appears that Catharine had a stroke or was ill enough to
require a lot of care and lifting.  This letter was in the possession of
Robert Alva Shedenhelm in 1964 (a great grandson of Levi & Margaret
Elizabeth Rosenberger Shedenhelm). 
George & Catharine spoke almost entirely German in the home.
George & Catharine Lease Shedenhelm are both buried in what is called the
Fravel cemetery Northwest of Tiffin, Ohio, presumably in the near
vicinity of the farm where they settled in 1832. Elizabeth Bair Alias:<ALIA> /Eliza/

Taken from History of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania with Biographical
Sketches of Many of its Pioneers and Prominent Men, Chapter LXXV,
Salisbury Township <1<(1 By John C. Linvill.), Biographical Sketches:
"Winfield Scott Kenndy was born in Salisbury Twp., Lancaster Co.,
Pa, Sept. 13, 1815.  He spent his childhood at the home on the farm. 
When twelve years of age he entered the Moscow Academy, Chester County,
then under the charge of the Revs. James and Francis Latta.  In 1830 he
entered Jefferson College, where he remained during the junior year, at
the end of which time he was obliged to leave on account of failing
eyesight.  In 1831 and 1832 he was clerk in the hardware store of Logan &
Kennedy, the next three years worked for his father on the farm, and in
1836 commenced farming for himself.  He married, May 4, 1837, Mary M.
daughter of Matthias & Rebecca Slaymaker, who was born in Williamstown,
April, 1816.  From 1836 to 1849 he lived in the house below the "Rising
Sun Hotel", now owned by Samuel Kauffman.  During the latter of these
years he dealt largely in cattle, making frequent trips to Kentucky and
Ohio, and sometimes returning East with droves of a thousand head and
upward.  From 18551 to 1856 he engaged in merchandising at Bellevue (now
part of the Gap) in company with his brother Sylvester.  In 1857 he went
to Pittsburgh, where he became interested with his brother, Robert, in
carrying on the Pearl Flouring Mill, at the time one of the largest in
the country, with capacity of from seven hundred to  one thousand barrels
per day.  This partnership continued until 1870, when the mill was
burned.  During most of the time he made his headquarters in Cincinnati
in the purchase of wheat.  His wife died in 1843.  He married again, Dec.
5, 1866, Esther J., daughter of James and Rebecca
Dickinson who was born in Salisbury Twp., Sept. 22, 1821."

John Jarboe, a Catholic, was born in 1619 in Dijon, France, and in 1642,
he emigrated to York (later Elizabethtown), Virginia.  There is
documentation that he arrived in Virginia under the name of John Parkes.
During the "Claiborne and Ingles Rebellion" in 1645-1646 against Lord
Baltimore, Leonard Calvert took refuge in York, Virginia.  While in York
he met and enlisted several men to help him regain his power in
Maryland.  Two of the men he enlisted were Colonel William Evans and John
Jarboe.    John Jarboe was among a group of plantation owners in 1648 who
took the "Oath of Fidelity" to Lord Baltimore.  (Patents 1:205).    On
12/1/1648 William Evans and John Jarboe received a Patent for 100 acres
each for transporting themselves into the province in 1646 as part of the
Maryland Militia. (Patents 2:440)  On that same day a warrant was issued
and they received the 100 acres each on the west side of "Bretton's Bay
in St. Mary's County.   This area became a village called "Newton".  He
was 27 years old when he immigrated to Maryland.   In the earliest
records of Maryland, his name is spelled "Jarbo".    In a deposition
given at Newtown on 6/21/1659, John Jarboe gave his age as 40 (Provincial
Court S:312).  In 1653 he witnessed the will of Henry Fox.  In 16__,
William Tattershall appointed "my brother Lt. Col John Jarboe" as one of
the overseers of his estate (1:391).
July 15, 1658, John Jarboe in command of all forces from Poplar Hill to
Wicomico River.
Naturalization Record July 30, 1661, John is granted leave to inhabit as
a free denizen of Province of MD. (Believed to be the first petition for
naturalization in British America)
April 22, 1667, made High Sheriff of St. Mary's Co. for one year.
John made a written will in 1671 naming just two children, John and
Mary.  In 1674, when he was again ill, and just before his death, he made
an oral will including two sons born since.  After her husband's death,
Mary married Stephen Gough.  Rent rolls show the children living with
their mother and step-father on the home farm called "Jarboe".  None of
the children were of age.
John Jarboe bought and sold many pieces of land before his death.  His
land at his death:
St. Lawrence   300 acres
St. Peter's Hills    500 acres
Jarboe's       150 acres
Marsh's Hope   150 acres.

that the 2 younger sons, Henry and Peter, were born later.
There is an account of a quote from a book called YESTERDAY IN ST MARY'S
COUNTY by Fred Pughe that said that John Jarboe went on a particular
mission to Virginia for the Calverts, and that he was never picked up by
the boat that was supposed to come and get him.  He said that he walked
all the way back home, which would mean he would have had to walk all the
way around the Potomac River.  John Jarboe reportedly said that he wore
out "six payre of shooes" and that it cost hime 300 pounds of tabacco. 
The Book TIDEWATER MARYLAND by Paul Wilstach c. 1931, 1945, tells the

Abraham Simmons the third, born 1710, son of Abraham Jr., and Elizabeth
was married in 1735 to Abagail West.  Upon the Organization of The
Maryland Council of Safety in 1775 he enrolled a Company of Militia and
tendered their service to the Council.  On July 5, 1776, the Council in
session commissioned him as Captain and his company of 9 officers, 39
privates and having 30 guns was attached to the South River Battalion
under Col. Weems of Anne Arundel County.  On August 5, the Council
directed their treasurer to pay Capt. Abraham Simmons 7 pound 7 s. and

The pioneer of our Simmons family in Maryland.  A native of Seaford,
England, he came to the Province of Maryland as a military apprentice and
was attached to the Service of Charles Calvert, 3rd Lord Baltimore.  His
fidelity to the Crown and diligence to protect the colonists from
political enemies and hostile Indians gained the commendation of his
superior officers which was recognized April 5, 1684 by a Grant of land
in Anne Arundel County, an additional Grant December 4, 1696 and again in
Baltimore County December 17, 1701 and September 10, 1703, these latter
two being located to the north of the Susquehanna River, along Deer Creek
contained jointly 434 acres.  Those in Anne Arundel County were located
in the south end adjoining the Calvert County line, here he finally
settled, erected a home, and planted an orchard.  He married and had
three sons.  Several years later in acknowledgement of some special
military victorious service, King George promulgated an edict to design a
Family Coat of Arms which after the usual delays was finally registered
in Burke's General Armory of Colonial Families, Berry's Kent, p. 459.

Joshua Howard of Manchester, England, serving on King James's side, was
an officer in the army of the Duke of York during the Monmouth Rebellion
in 1685, despite his father's opposition.  On his discharge, he came to
Maryland, rather than face his father's displeasure, and settled in
Baltimore County.  He married Johanna O'Carroll, emigrant from Ireland,
and took up residence near Pikesville, Baltimore County, Maryland,
settling and building 'Belvedere' as a home.  He was listed as a taxable
in Baltimore Co. as early as 1695.  In 1698/9 he took up "Howard's
Square, (one of the "show places" of Baltimore County, a 150 acre tract,
which is presently the site of "Grey Rock" estate on the Reisterstown Rd,
north of Pikesville.  Howard Family Cemetery is located on this estate. 
He also acquired "Howard's Fancy", which in 1732, he and his wife,
Joanna, conveyed to their son, Edmund.

The original Howard coat of arms "Gu, a bend between six cross crosslets
fitchee, ar" has remained the common characteristic feature in the arms
of all the subsequent branches of the English Howards, including the
Ducal branch.  The armorial feature above noted, which identifies the
English titled Howards of various names, as of kindred stock, is
identical with that of the Maryland Howards.  The stone erected over the
grave of Cornelius Howard (son of Joshua) who d. in 1777, and was buried
on the family estate near Baltimore, MD, bore, as it does today, the
arms:  "Gu, a bend argent between six cross-crosslets fitchee" and as far
back as 1695, Jn. Howard, Sen. (son of Matthew 3) stamped on the waxen
seal of his will, still preserved at Annapolis, the arms of his house,
that came from his English forbears:  "Gu, a bend between six crosses
crosslets fitchee, ar".  Coats of arms on ancient tombstones, seals and
wills are usually regarded as authoritative in heraldry.  In the present
case they seem to indicate the existence of kinship between the Maryland
Howards and the amorial English houses-- a kinship supported by much
tradition, although the exact connection is unknown, and may not be
proved. ~1675 - 1763 Joanna O'Carroll 88 88 REFN: 1857

"Lieutenant Colonel Commanding;" he was at White Plains, Germantown,
Monmouth, Camden, Cowpens, Guileford Court House, Hobkirk's Hill, and
Eutaw Springs, commanding his Regiment on most of those fields; for his
conduct at Cowpens, where he commanded the main infantry line and at a
critical moment, on his own responsibility, ordered a bayonet charge
which decided the battle, he was voted by Congress a silver medal (one of
the 12 medals given by the Congress during the war); he subsequently
served his State and Country as Member of the Maryland Senate, Governor,
Member of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senator, and in other
capacities, and was honored by the choice of Washington for a seat in his
Cabinet and as a Brigadier General in the expected war with France; m.

John Eager Howard was born & died at "Belvedere" in Baltimore Co., MD,
the home built by his grandfather, Joshua Howard. 1705 - 1759 Christopher Gist 54 54 REFN: 1867
He resided at Green Spring Traverse and Adventure and owned Gist's Lime
Pits and a sloop called "Two Brothers". 
Settled on the Yadkin River, North Carolina c. 1745-1750., explored part
of Ohio and Kentucky for the Ohio Company in 1750-53 and was a friend and
personal guide of George Washington. (1753-54).  He was a companion of
George Washington on his journey to Lake Erie in 1753.  Compton
Encyclopedia reports that George Washington and Christopher Gist were
thrown off their raft while crossing the Allegheny River during this
expedition
On Oct. 1, 1755 he was commissioned Lt. in the Virginia forces.  He was
Captain of a company of scouts which he raised for services on the
frontier.  Per Comptons report on Virginia, the fierce fighting men of
Virginia were called "Long Knives" by the Indians, among which were
Christopher Gist, Ebenezer Zene, Lewis Wetzel, John Sevier and Charles
Lewis.  He then went to the Carolinas to enlist Cherokee Indians for the
English services, and for a time served as an Indian Agent.  He died of
smallpox on the road between Williamsburg and Winchester, VA, while
guiding Catawba warriors to Winchester to guard the frontier against the
French and other Indians.
Christopher Gist was Sequoyah's grandfather.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER GIST of Mt. Braddock, Fayette County, Pennsylvania;
b. in Maryland about 1706 and d. in 1759, of smallpox in South Carolina
or Georgia.  He was first a merchant in Baltimore Town, but failed in
business and made an assignment to his relatives, CROMWELL and STANSBURY,
in 1745.  In 1750 he styled himself as "late of Baltimore County but then
in the Colony of Virginia" and conveyed to Tobias STANSBURY the "Gist
Lime pits" in Baltimore County.  He later settled on the Yadkin, in
Virginia, and was undoubtedly the most famous scout and first renowned
explorer of the Ohio River and Valley through the present states, West
Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio, as agent of the Ohio Company.  This was in
1750; and he was associated with Gen. George WASHINGTON as Indian scout
and forest ranger, being his guide and companion on the journey to Lake
Erie in 1753.  He was made Captain of the Rangers, organized in Virginia
for the defense of frontier, and served through 1756 and until the
company was discharged in 1757.  He received various titles of "Scout",
"Captain" and "Colonel."  With his sons,  Nathaniel and Thomas, he took
part as guide and scout in BRADDOCK'S expedition.  He served with George
WASHINGTON in his victory at Great Meadows and in his disaster the next
day, 4th July, 1754, at Fort Necessity, when WASHINGTON surrendered to
the French, in superior numbers, but with the honors of war.  At the
battle of BRADDOCK'S Defeat, 9th July, 1755, he was present with his sons
and afterwards raised a Company of Scouts in Maryland and Virginia and
rendered efficient service.  1st October, 1755, he was commissioned
Lieutenant of the Virginia (p. 240) forces and in 1756 was made Captain
of a Company of Scouts.  The same year he went to the Carolinas to enlist
the Cherokee Indians for the English service, and as late as 1758 was
Deputy Agent for Indian Affairs at Fort Frederick, Maryland; he acquired
lands in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, which were inherited by his son
Thomas; m. Sarah HOWARD, dau. of Joshua and Joanna (O'CARROLL) HOWARD of
Baltimore County, Maryland, whose will of 1738 names his daughters,

Mordecai Price owned 116 acres "Locust Neck", 50 acres "Papa Ridge", 50
acres "Greenwood", lived in West River, Anne Arundel County, MD.  He
married Mary Parsons in 1683 when he was 23 years old and had 14 children
with her.  He died in 1715 at the age of 55.
In 1703 Mordecai took his indentured servant Sarah Dimant (or Dyamond)
and his slave Daniel to court for having borne a "mulatto bastard girl"
together.  (Mulatto is an old term that refers to someone who is
bi-racial.  Sarah was probably white.  Daniel was black because he was
referred to as "Negroe")  Sarah received fifteen lashes after which she
was returned to Mordecai, her master, to finish out the last few months
of her seven years of indentured service.  After she completed her
indenture to Mordecai she was surrendered to the court and sold to Bladen
Planter for 3000 pounds of tobacco.  She was indentured to Bladen for
seven years "in compliance with the act of assembly providing against
such unnatural copulations."
Interesting tidbit:  (Named for a descendant of our Mordecai Price????)
Price Town, MD
Always known as Price or Prices Station, it is a laid back, peaceful
village rich in history and country charm. It is one of several small
towns which developed as a direct result of the construction of the Queen
Anne's and Kent Railroad, Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Price
was established in 1871, when the Pennsylvania Railroad extended its
lines through this point on its route to Centreville. The town's name was
derived from the surname of a prominent individual connected with the
establishment of the railroad station and post office, named Mordecai
Price.
Price has rural and tranquil settings of beautiful farmland, rich in
agriculture. It is centrally located off U.S. Highway 301 and Rt. 405
East. The area also boosts locations for wild game hunting and is
centered in the midst of a rapidly growing chicken industry and pig
farming. It is also home to horse stables, race horses and grazing cows.
The town itself has a small community post office, a Community Building
Center (once an elementary school) for community activities and annual
events, two churches, the Price Bethany United Methodist Church and Price
Apostolic Church. There are always booming businesses in Price, such as
the new Price Market Deli & Restaurant and across the street is Price's
Station General Store & Antiques. While visiting these businesses, next
to the railroad tracks, you may be just in time to see the train passing
through and listen to its whistle. ~1662 - ~1717 Mary M. Parsons 55 55 REFN: 1891

Register of Maryland's Heraldic Families Vol 1:
The earliest trace of this family name found in history is in the
County of Durham, England, from whence it seems to have spread over the
adjacent county of Yorkshire, England, and gradually drifted southward to
the counties of Lincoln, Leicester, and Gloucester, until it reached
London.  The Dents of early Maryland are from Yorkshire.  The name is of
Latin origin, two well know Consuls of Rome, Denta & Dentatus, having
settled in North Britton, one as early as 285 B.C.  In the West Riding of
Yorkshire, there is still in existence the town of Dent.  The coat-Armor
of the Maryland Dents is, "Argent, on a bend sable, three losenges
erminois".
Prominent among the early settlers in Lord Baltimore's palatinate of
Maryland was Col. Thomas Dent, gentleman, who emigrated from Yorkshire
England, in 1650, in company with his father-in-law, the Reverend William
Wilkinson, who was the first Episcopal minister in the colonies.  Col.
Thomas Dent was one of the first justices of the County courts of St.
Mary's County in 1659, and was high sheriff in 1654.  By his will,
probated April 21, 1676, he left the manor of Westbury to his eldest son
William; to his sons Peter and George the "Gisborough" grant which was
named after his birthplace in Yorkshire, Gisborough on the River Tees. 
This land grant he received with others from the Lord Proprietor.  His
manor of Westbury was situated in the part of the original St. Mary's
settlement in the heart of Charles County near the famous old town of
Port Tobacco.
A few years after Thomas Dent came out, he sent for his brother,
John Dent, who also received large grants of land.
The Manor of Westbury was acquired by him under the will of the Rev.
William Wilkinson, his father-in-law.
About October 8, 1662, Mr. Dent and William Hatton, his brother-in-law,
acquired by purchase a 900-acre tract on the north side of the Potomac
River and the west side of Nanjemoy Creek, in Charles Co. Subsequently,
by conveyance from Mr. Hatton, Mr. Dent became the sole owner of the
entire property which was called "Guyther", but since variously spelled,
the name of its first patentee.  This land has proven an invaluable aid
in connecting the later branches of the family with their common
ancestor.  The appraisement of Judge Dent's estate, May 19, 1676, attests
that he maintained a plantation on the Nanjemoy land that he had there,
indentured or redemptioner servants, slaves, crops, horses, cattle and
hogs.  At a later period, Col. William Dent, at his death probably the
most outstanding personage in Maryland (oldest son of Judge Thomas Dent)
lived on this plantation.
Based upon his transportation rights, a tract of 236 acres as patented to
the two brothers-in-law, between whom there seemed to exist a bond of
affection and intimacy and which probably led them to name their new
acquisition, "The Brother's Joint Interest."
Eventually Gisborough and the last mentioned tract passed into the
possession of the Addisons.  For many years a part of Gisborough, which
can be plainly seen from the southern end of Potomac Park, was a popular
excursion resort for Washingtonians and visitors to the Federal Capital,
although its more recent use, the manufacture of munitions for the World
War and its present use as a "flying field", are probably more in keeping
with the spirit and habits of its adventurous first owner.
The ownership by Judge Dent of a 200-acre plantation called Wattfiels,
which he purchased from the heirs of Richard Watson, who was also from
Yorkshire, supplies another valuable link in the family chain, because it
is through conveyances of this land that Barbara Dent, unnamed in his
will and born after his death, is identified as his daughter and as the
last wife of the Hon. Thomas Brooke.

The Church in Maryland was ministered to by the Rev. Richard James, who
embarked for Virginia in 1635.  Years passed, and in the re-establishment
of the monarchy and the restoration of the authority of the Proprietary,
we find but little mention of the church, though the records inform us
that about the year 1650, the Rev. William Wilkinson, Clerk, fifty years
of age, with his wife and family and servants, arrived in the colony.  It
would seem that Mr. Wilkinson was the first resident clergyman of the
Church in the province other than the ministers of Kent Island."

(1) **** Colonel JOHN ADDISON, who came to this country from England in
the year 1667.  Colonel John Addition was a brother of Rev. Launcelot
Addison, Dean of Litchfield, father of the noted Joseph Addison.  He was
also a brother of Rev. Anthony Addison, B.D., rector of Abington and
chaplain to the Duke of Marlborough.  He died in 1719 and is buried under
the altar of the church he served.  Rev. Launcelot Addison is buried in
the Cathedral of Lutchfield, where over the door is to be seem the
Addison arms.  In common with his family in England, Colonel John Addison
was a Whig in politics, and his signature is found on an address of
congratulations to King William.  He was a Privy Councillor of the
"intruding government introduced by the Protestant Revolution."  In 1692
he was a member of his Majesties Council and presiding judge of Charles
County.  He also distinguished himself in the encounters of the colonists
with the Indians, and was commissioned colonel of the "Military
Establishment of the Colony".  He was the leading commissioner in
establishing St. John's parish, Maryland, and in building Broad Creek
Church, of which is great-grandson, Rev. Walter D. Addison, was later
rector.  He was a large subscriber and one of the trustees of King
William's School, at that time about to be made a free school.  He
married the widow of Thomas Dent, she was a daughter of Rev. William
Wilkinson, the first clergyman of the church of England to come to the
province of Maryland, and the owner of twelve thousand acres of land. 
Returning to England on business, Colonel Addison died in that country,
intestate, leaving considerable wealth there besides "a very large landed
estate in this country".

the earliest settlers of Maryland and was active in affairs civil and
religious in that province.
Torrence's Old Somerset County, p. 476 & 465, show that Edmund Howard,
who with a William Howard, settled in Somerset County, on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, before 1663. 
As to a connection with the other Howard's in Maryland & England, he does
carry the Christian name (Edmund) common to the Howards of Norfolk in
England.  Edward Hammond, & John Hammond were sons of Col. Mainwaring
Hammond, who was one of the "Cavalier" companions of Captain Henry
Norwood, whose vessel, the "Virginia Merchant" ran ashore on what is now
the coast of old Somerset Co. in 1649, and their rescue was effected
through the efforts of a young man named William Stevens, who settled in
the community.  (One of Edmund Howard's sons is named William Stevens
Howard.)  Edward Hammond became a compatriot and associate of Edmund
Howard in Somerset County, afterwards, while John Hammond and his
descendants, intermarried with the Howard's of Ann Arundel Co. 
In 1692 Edmund Howard was a Justice of Somerset County (Old Somerset p.
154), and about the same time, Edward Hammond & Peter Dent were among the
military officers of the county.
Probate records of Charles Co, MD, Book 1677-1717 pg. 335 show Edmund

GEORGE HOWARD, OF SOMERSET COUNTY, MARYLAND, SON OF EDMUND
GEORGE HOWARD, who was called 'the youngest son" in the will of his
father, EDMUND HOWARD (Md. Calendar of Wills Vol. IV p.2) died in January
of 1742 in Somerset County, Maryland, leaving a will.  The name of his
wife was Sarah, which is all we have been able to find about her.  In his
will George mentioned his "oldest son" Nehemiah, and one other son,
George.  In the judgment of the compiler, this George Howard had other
sons whom he failed to mention , who may have been minors at that time. 
Those sons were Stevens (Stephen) Howard and Obediah Howard. 
Paschal's History of the North Carolina Baptists, pages 385-386:
"The first body of Separates to go from North Carolina to South Carolina
was a large portion of the Deep River Church, which was a traveling
church, went first to the Broad River section , and there in August,
1759, established organized worship with Phillip Mulkey as minister. 
Those who formed this church were:  Phillip Mulkey and wife, Stephen
Howard and wife, Joseph Breed and wife, Obediah Howard and wife, Benjamin
Gist and wife; Charles Thompson, Thomas Thompson and R. Collins."
In the notes from Paschal's History, there is no mention of Nehimiah
Howard, but in an article containing quotations from Morgan Edward's
notebook on the Baptists, there is a list of the member of the Deep Creek
Baptist Church, giving a list of other members of the church in Chatham
County, N.C. at the time these members migrated to Broad River, which
shows that Nehemiah Howard was among those who remained behind.
George Howard, of Somerset Co., MD, was the son of Edmund Howard, who
left Somerset and migrated up the Potomac with his wife's people, the
Dents, to Charles Co., MD.  "They say" that there was no relation between
Joshua Howard, grandfather of John Eager Howard, of Baltimore Co., and
Edmund Howard, (father of George), and yet we find three of the sons of
George Howard (Nehemiah, Stevens and Obediah) together in the same church
in Chatham Co, NC and on Broad River in South Carolina.  In company with
them, we also find a Benjamin Gist, whom we are practically forced to
believe was a grandson of Joshua Howard of Baltimore, and the son of his
daughter, Mary Howard, who became the wife of Nathaniel Gist, who bought
Lots 8 and 42 in New London townsite in 1757, of which Benjamin Howard,
the grandson of Joshua Howard's brother, was one of the Trustees. 1690 Thomas Howard REFN: 2122 ~1692 - 1718 Elizabeth Howard 26 26 REFN: 2123 1695 Edmund Howard REFN: 2124 ~1707 - >1787 Nathaniel Gist 80 80 REFN: 2125
He resided at Gist's Search, Baltimore Co., MD, before moving to
Lunenburg Co., Va about 1745-1750 to the part which became Halifax Co. in
1752.  He moved to Dan River, Rowan Co., North Carolina, by 1754 where he
served as a captain of the militia.  His name appears as Gess, Gest,
Gist, Guess and Guest in various records.  He returned to Virginia in
1756.  In 1784, he lived with his son, Joshua, in western North Carolina
(the part which became eastern Tennessee).  In December, 1787, Nathaniel
and his son, Joshua, were among those who signed the Petition of the
Inhabitants of the Western Country for the separation and erection of a
new state (State of Franklin).
Nathaniel & Mary Howard Gist may also have been the parents of Benjamin

Sarah Gist & her husband, John Kennedy, were placed in Lancaster Co.
Pennsylvania and later in Wilkes Co. or Orange Co. North Carolina, on the
Yadkin River area.  John was believed to be a longhunter and one of
Lowry's Indian Traders.  (Lowry being stationed out of Pennsylvania) 
John may have had a son named Andrew Kennedy and Andrew may have had a
daughter named Margaret.  The Kennedy name may have been spelled Cannaday
or Danady in North Carolina.  Andrew's mother could have been Indian and
Margaret's mother was believed Indian.  It was common for Indian traders
to take Indian wives on the side, in addition to their white wives. 
Margaret Canady is believed to have married William Hitchcock Taulbee,
who then settled in Breathitt County, Kentucky. 1729 Richard Gist REFN: 2799 1731 Violetta Gist REFN: 2800 1733 - ~1796 Nathaniel Gist 63 63 REFN: 2801
"Myths of the Cherokee", James Mooney, Dover Publications Inc, NY, p 108:
.... by a KY family it is claimed .... Sequoyah father was Nathaniel
Gist, son of the scout who accompanied (George) Washington on his
memorable excursion to the Ohio.  As the story goes, Nathaniel Gist was
captured by the Cherokee at Braddock's defeat (1755) and remained a
prisoner with them for six years, during which time he became the father
of Sequoyah.  On his return to civilization, he married a white woman in
VA, by whom he had other children, and afterward removed to KY, where
Sequoyah, then a Baptist preacher, frequently visited them and was always
recognized by the family as his son.

"Old Frontiers" by John P. Brown, 1938, Southern Publishers, Kingsport,
TN, pg 158:
Nathaniel Gist first appeared among the Cherokees as a messenger of
Governor Dinwiddie in 1755.  Following the French and Indian War he
formed a trading partnership with Richard Pearis and lived in the
Cherokee country for several years.  During that time, he took as his
Indian wife, Wurteh, sister of Chief Old Tassel, and became the father of
Sequoyah. ~1734 - ~1795 Anne "Nancy" Gist 61 61 REFN: 2802
An interesting item on Nancy is that she may have been a love interest of
George Washington in his younger days.  Thomas & Nancy's father,
Christopher, served as a guide to a young George Washington and George
Washington was several times a guest in the home of Thomas Gist.  One
account says that Martha Washington destroyed any correspondence between
Geroge Washington and Nancy Gist. ~1735 - ~1785 Thomas Gist 50 50 REFN: 2803 1732 Zipporah Gist REFN: 2804 1734 Christopher Gist REFN: 2805 ~1736 Nathaniel Gist REFN: 2806 ~1742 - 1780 Richard Gist 38 38 REFN: 2807

Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume IV states that Richard Gordon
Simmons was a distinguished citizen and physician of Roanoke, Virginia. 
He received his education first at the local schools of his native place,
both public & private, and later at the Western Maryland College at
Westminster, MD.  In 1883, he removed to Roanoke, Virginia, to accept a
clerical position in the employ of the Shenandoah Valley Railway, in
which he continued for two years.  During this time, however, he came
into close contact with Dr. Koiner, then chief surgeon for the Shenandoah
Valley & Norfolk & Western railway, and in 188t became associated with
him.  The following year he entered the Jefferson Medical College, from
which he graduated with the class of 1889.  Immediately thereafter he
returned to Roanoke and resumed his relations with Dr. Koiner, with whom
he was associated for six years in the practice of surgery.  In the year
1889, Dr. Simmons entered as a charger member the newly formed Roanoke
Light Infantry, and later July 18, 1893, was made an assistant surgeon
and caption of the Second Virginia Infantry by Governor McKinney.  This
rank he held until the outbreak of the Spanish War, when he was ordered
by Governor Tyler, May 8, 1898, to make an examination of the Virginia
Volunteers at Richmond, and on June 2 of the same year was ordered with
the Second Virginia Regiment to Jacksonville, Florida, to the Seventh
Army Corps, commanded by General Fitzhugh Lee.  At the same time he was
appointed assistant to the chief surgeon of the Seventh Army Corps, his
duties being executive and administrative.  At the conclusion of the war,
he was asked by Surgeon-General Sternberg to remain in the army, but
declined and returned to his private practice at Roanoke.  In 1899 a
recruiting station for the United States army was established at Roanoke,
and Dr. Simmons was appointed examining surgeon.  Dr. Simmons was one of
the organizers and the first commander of the George H. Bentley Camp of
Spanish War Veterans, and in 1910 was elected by the State Encampment as
commander of the Department of Virginia, serving in this office for one
term and then as a member of the staff of the commander-in-chief.  Dr.
Simmons was a member of the Association of Military Surgeons of the
United States.  He was one of the organizers of the Roanoke Medical
Society which afterwards became the Roanoke Academy of Medicine.  He was
also appointed coroner of the city of Roanoke in 1910.   James Murray REFN: 2847 Jemina Morgan REFN: 2848 Thomas Morgan REFN: 2849 Elizabeth Elder REFN: 2850 John Elder REFN: 2851 Jemima ?

John Dent.  He also received large grants of land, among them one upon
which was located a spring called "Cool Springs", widely known at that
time for its medical qualities.  This spring with 50 acres of land was
sold in 1698 to the colony for the use of the people and is still in
existence near Charlotte Hall which for more than a century has been
famous as a Military Academy and School for Boys.  This John rendered
