I am researching the following people's imediate family (Brothers, Sisters, parents), and their ancestors. Place of birth is given if known or suspected. The people are: Henry Jolley, b. 8-26-1789, place Bethel,Pitt County, NC. He married Francis Manning in Bethel on 3-23-1806 and they moved to Weakley County, TN in 1820.I am interested in knowing about all earlier ancestors in U.S. and were they are buried. also any kind of info on the English connection. Ancestors are from England.One of his ancestors in Virginia about 1650 in Norfolk, VA was a John Joll(e)y and John DID NOT marry a Mary Rigglesworth.A John Jolliffe married her. John Jolliffe was related through marriage to English royalty. A Rev.Thomas Jolly, from the Standish, Lancastershire, England line of Jollys had a son named John and his brother Edward also had a son named John who were born in 1600 and 1601.Nothing is known later on this possible connection.This is a very possible connection as all this Jolly line were Nonconformist ministers inEngland between about 1575 to 1680.Nonconformist religious groups were persecuted in England at this time. Conformists were Church of England. Nonconformists were Catholics, Puritans, Quakers, Lutherans, and all others. Maybe one of the above John Jollys' emigrated to Virginia between 1635 and 1655? Phillip Simon Thomas Jensen, b. 1-18-1878, place Kobenhaven, Denmark.Ancestors from Denmark. He's my granfather, and he had at least one brother whom I met in 1963. Anna Marie Emilie Neummuller, b. 3-22-1881, place Seehausen Altmark, Magdeburg Stadt, Sachsen, Preussen, Germany.Ancestors may be Jewish. She's my Grandmother.Records of the town were burned by the Nazi's during World War II. John Eddins, b. 4-11-1830, place Cradley, Herefordshire, England. Henry Smith, Sr., b. 3-3-1818, place Wiltshire, England. Lived in Guyencourt and Rockland, Newcastle County, DE about 1839 to 1853. Had 11 children, one of which was William Henry Smith, b. 2-22-1853. Jacob Hatch, b. 4-15-1773, place Green Mountain, VT Acquilla Hopper, b. 4-17-1814, place Burke or Burke County,NC I am interested in sharing what information I have, and own a few books on Colonial Virginia and North Carolina that I can do lookups in as well as a few CD's. Due to the fact that I live in Salt Lake City, Utah I would be willing to go to the LDS Family History Library. To go to the library I would need the exact lookup references and be reimbursed for copies and postage. | ERV JENSEN HOME PAGE Updated May 9, 2003 |
