Descendants of Georg Philip Dotterer Dodderer Generation No. 1 1. GEORG PHILIP DUDDRA2 DODDERER (HANS1) was born Abt. 1675 in Reichen, near Stebbach, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany, and died November 06, 1741 in His farm in Frederick Twp., Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. He married VERONICA Abt. 1695 in Germany. She was born Abt. 1676 in Gemmingen, Germany, and died October 20, 1752 in Frederick Twp., Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. Notes for GEORG PHILIP DODDERER: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- George was a carpenter and a farmer. He had six children live to adulthood and the names of them were Michael, Barnabas, Eronimus, Barbara, Ann, Conrad. His wife's name may have been Veronica Schlieffer or Buchner.......many disagreements on this...... Some say he was born inWurtemberg, Stebbach, Germany.. The first mass migration from Germany to the Americas began with the "Palatine" emigration of Germans to New York in 1709-1710. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Descendant Michael Dutterer born June 15, 18ll wrote: "Our immigrant ancestor" --der uralt Dotterer, in the German language, "was the very first settler in this neighborhood. When he came there was no road, and he had no horse or wagon. All he had was one or two cows, a sow and some primitive farming implements. He and his family made their way as best they could along Swamp Creek and Society Run through the forest. He located on the spot now, in 1902, occupied by the capacious barn on the farm of Eli Geisinger. Here on the west bank of the stream, under the spreading branches of a buttonwoood tree, he dug a sort of cave, and covered it with a rude roof of logs and branches, forming a hut, as a shelter for his family. Beside this humble abode a spring issued, and below the run, then much stronger than now, sparkled in the sunshine. The Indians in the vicinity frequently visited their new paleface neighbors and soon established friendly relations. At times they solicited permission to take the Dotterer children to play with their papooses--a request our foreparent feared to grant yet dared not refuse. It was soon learned that the Indians cared for the little palefaces the same as their own offspring. The Indians had a way of fastening the children to branches of trees, bent down for the purpose, and swinging them to and fro in the air. Indian and white children were served the same food, prepared in a wooden trough carved from the trunk of a tree. At the close of the day the Indians would bring the children back to their parents' home and no instance is remembered of bad faith on the part of the natives. The Dotterers had several pigs which were the objects of much curiosity to the Indians, who had never seen them before. They came daily to the settler's clearing, bringing acorns for the sow and her family. Seeking to preserve the good will of their savage neighbors, our ancestor thought it politic to present them a pig, which was carried home with evidences of great appreciation. One day, Father Dodderer treked through the forest to visit the Indian camp. To his amazement, he found one of the squaws squatted on the ground in the sun nursing both her papoose and the little pig, the child looking distrustfully at its rival, but the pig seemed quite contented. This was passed down from father to son as received from the late Michael Dutterer who died on Dec. 13, 1899 and was reared in the vicinity of the old homestead. [ *page 23 of The Dotterer Family by Henry S. Dotterer] ************************************************************************ The farm was located near Pottstown, Pennsylvania, on Society Run and was still standing in 1946. A photo appears in The Family of Morton McIlvain Dukehart. Eli Geisinger's barn later stood on the spot where George first located. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The name Duddra has been changed to over 37 differents forms. Dodder, Dotter, Duttrey, Totherah etc. In 1702, Skippack began as an outgrowth of Germantown, PA. 1000 acres had been bought in Germantown by Govert Remke of Crefeld, Germany. 161 acres were laid out at Germantown. The balance he sold in 1686 to Matthias Van Bebber, who by adding 915 acres by purchase, had this whole tract of 6,166 acres located by patent, Feb. 22, 1702. In 1709, Jacob, Johannes and Martin Kolb, weavers, purchased each a large tract and settle thereon. The original owners in the Perkiomen region were Telman Kolb, Gerret Clemens, Michael Ziegler, Hans Bower, Andrew Lederah and Georg Philip DODDERER (Totherah) and Jacob Markley. Most of these had been living in Perkiomen Twn many years before the date of this account. (Samuel W. Pennypacker, "History of Germantown",] p. 142 Pennsylvania Magazine, Vol. IV, p. 24 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *The Dodders came from an area in Germany called the Kraichgau. It is referred to in German as a "Ritterkanton," a knights' canton. Gemmingen belonged to the Landkaptiel [land chapter] of Schwaigern, within the diocese of Worms. The ruling authority was the Reich, the empire, represented by its ruler, the Kaiser or emperor. He had Lehen or tenancies, in the form of land to bestow upon the Freiherren or barons von Gemmingen. George's records appear in the Evang. Ref. Church records of Stebbach, Baden a suburb of Gemmingen. There is a book titled 'Ortssippenbuch Eppingen im Kraichgau.' It is volume 109 of series A of these books and the 52nd volume of the 'Ortssippenbucher for Baden.' It's been microfilmed. It's written in German but is easy to understand. It's a book of genealogies for the town of Eppingen. There is information of the Dodder/Dotter family. In 1521 Gemmingens Lord, Baron Wolf v. Gemmingem founded a "Lateinschule," or Latin school. It continued for over a century, until 1635. The Barons v. Gemmingen were prominent in the Reformation. As Reichsritter, or knights for the realm, they used their influence to foster the Reformation and to shield and protect the reformers. The three brothers v. Gemmingen, Dietrich, Phillip, and Wolf, had divided the possession of their father Pleikard among themselves at the time of his death, in 1515. They introduced the Reformation into the Kraichgau, along with Erhart Schnopf, a native of Heilbronn in 1521/22. Their preacher, Bernhard Griebler, brought the new doctrine to Gemmingen. Wolf and Dietrich witnessed Martin Luther's famous and very courageous stand before the Diet of Worms, April 18, 1521. They have records in the church in Gemmingen. The combined Lutheran and Reformed parish records of the church in Stebbach date back to 1675 and forward to 1962. They are available at the FHL. The brothers Gemmingen embraced Luther's doctrine rather that Ulrich Zwingli. Many of the Heilbronn's citizens sent their sons to Gemmingen, to attend the Latin school. Heilbronn and Gemmingen were 12 miles apart. * Information from The Heritage Quest #48, page 25. Info is also in the book 'The Northern Kraichgau' by Ann Kunselman Burgret. In 1684 3/8 of the land was sold to the Duchy of Wuerttemberg. The Barons von Gemmingen converted their tenancies to solid ownership when they bought the land in 1710. In 1726, the counts von Neipperg were the owners. Then between 1805 and 1806 the estate fell to Baden. In 1689, the armies of Louis XIV of France invaded this area of Germany. If our ancestors had not left by then, that probably would have convinced them to. ****************************************************************************************** The first record we have of George involves property transactions, a deed dated Dec. 22, 1722, that he bought from Hans Neus/Newes/NICE, which states he was from Falkners Swamp in the County of Philadelphia. He paid 21 pounds for the property. It was bounded by a post, a corner of James STEEL'S land in the SE corner to Henry GRUBB'S land NE and to Hans Newes NW and SW. It was 100 acres. EXCEPT for his daughter Barbara's marriage to Jacob MARKLEY on Feb. 13th, 1722. In 1725 he bought more land for 16 pounds that adjoined Michael DUDDRA'S land. He had them surveyed and got a patent on march 24, 1736. His name on the patent is George Philip Totherah Al Duddera. It was signed by Thomas Penn. He added another 100 acres on March 24, 1738. It bordered on George TRUMBAUERS land. [Patent Book A. Vol 9, page 47 and A-73 page 275 in Harrisburg, PA. This area is now Frederick Twn, Montgomery County. The land ran on both sides of Society Run. On May 12, 1740 he took the oath of allegiance to the King of England. Signing the petition for a road to be built were Georg Philib Dodderer; Johann Ludwich DEDERER; Hanns Michaell DODERER...Info from the book, History of Montgomery County by Theodore Bean page 832.[Strassburger book page 365.] His will is found on page 366 of the 'Strassburger Family and Allied Families of Pennsylvania' Book. I ran across my two pages [90 and 91] I copied out of the Book on the 18th Century emigrants. Philadelphia Will Book F:258-- and the notation in it states that 'George Philip Doderer, Frederick twp., Philadelphia co., husbandman. [19 Oct. 1740/1 Dec. 1741]. Wife Veronica, youngest son Conrad.

Duttera in 1934, page 13, George Philip Dodderer came to America on the ship Concord; landing at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 6, 1683. He was to have helped to build Germantown in Montgomery Co., PA. I looked at the passenger list for the Concord and did not find the Duddra name. I have not been able to find this families arrival record on any ship. His name was listed in the America's Who's Who and it stated he landed in Philadelphia in 1683. He did come over sometime between 1709 and Feb. of 1722 when his daughter was married... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On February 3, 1725, George acquired another tract of fifty acres from Hans and Yonecan Newes. [Deed Book F No. 3, p. 329, 330, Philadelphia, PA.] A survey of the land is recorded in Patent Book A, Vol. 8, p. 201. Harrisburg, PA. It is signed by Thomas Penn [L.

This land bordered the property also of George TRUMBAURS, in Frederick Twn. [Pat. Bk A, Vol. 9, p. 47 and Survey Bk A-73, p. 275]. On May 12, 1740 he took the oath of allegiance to the King of England. [King George II].

The Faulkner Swamp Reformed Church (Swamp Pike [county highway, Limerick to Gilbertsville] .5 mile SE of New Hanover.), which George helped to establish in the 1720's is located now in Gilbertsville.

He was in the list of the heads of families belonging to the New Goshenhoppen Reformed Congregation (SR 1042 [Church Rd.] W of East Greenville.) in 1736. I believe George had a brother Ludwig, perhaps who came over also. Their names are intertwined through the years. On p. 832 of the 'History of Montgomery Co.,' by Theodore W. Bean, etc. The Dotterers were not in the Gemmingen area until c. 1646. George Philip Dotterer is listed as von Reichen or Richen in some German documents. 1734 Philadelphia County Taxables The following list was taken from tax lists of Philadelphia County and presents those persons who in 1734 lived in what is now Berks County, Pa. or in Townships bordering Berks Co.

The settlers would often send their sacks of grain to the mill via the Indians who went over the ground very quickly for a piece of tobacco. They would start out in the evening and return in the morning. The German Lutherans started with the New Hanover Church of 1703, under the pastor Justus Falkner. Later cam Rev. Henry Melchior Muhlenberg arriving in 1742. Then John Philip Boehm organized one of the earliest German Reformed churches at Falkner's Swamp in 1725. Michael Schlatter came from Holland and the Reformed Synod. He rode thousands of miles through Pennsylvania and adjoining colonies to start new congregations and to bring order to established ones. The Reformed Church had set up over a hundred congregations in Pennsylvania by 1790. Henry S. Dotterer has 17 large volumes of papers on the Dodderer family on file at the Historical Society, Locust Street, Philadelphia. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ By 1682, 23 vessels arrived at Philadelphia before December 29, 1682; by 1685, 7,000 lived in the province. Philadelphia had 300 houses and 2,500 people by 1685 and only Christians could hold office but all had religious freedom.

I have copies of the baptism records for GPD's children and those of my Johan Michael Dotterer. As you have probably already noted, GPD and JMD appear on the same page in one instance having their children baptized. Gpd is about the 2nd or 3rd item on the page and JMD is right below him. I have searched through the entire film looking for a record of GPD's birth, but to no avail. I believe the first entry for him is in 1697-98. He is also shown in the year 1700 as a witness for a baptism and is listed as George Philip Dotterer von Reichen, or Richen. I am not fluent in the German language and can just about make out those baptism records. I believe that mine and your ancestors must be realated in some way but have not made a connection as yet. My belief in this is rooted in the fact that they came from the same town and settled near each other in Pa. and another little clue that I just recently found out about is that in one of the early tax records for Pa., Johan Ludwig Detterer shows up as a tenant on GPD's property. I have just recently found that Johan Ludwig is a brother to my Johan Michael. My ancestor and yours arrived in America about the same time Ludwig arrived later. Anyway, I have yet to find a birth or baptism record for GPD. I recall the references you make to the church records and have been searching other records whenever I can get a chance. If I should find any I shall surely contact you. Thank you for your response. Larry Dutter PPS: I don't have the # of that microfilm on hand but do have it on indefinte loan at the FHC.

Page: 90 In 1846 the brick meeting-house known as Bertolet's, was erected on a lot of ground in the western portion of the township. It was dedicated on Whitsuntide, 1847. It adjoins a private burial-ground in use since 1766. A Mennonite congregation, formed about the year 1847, worships in this building. Rev. Abraham Hunsicker, who was bishop of Skippack, preached the first year; Rev. Moses H. Gottschall followed from 1848 to 1872 Rev. N. B. Grubb, except a short interval, from 1872 to 1882 Rev. William S. Gottschall is the present pastor. In the summer of 1848 the first Sabbath-school in this section of the country was opened in this house. The ancient graveyard adjacent to the meeting-house lot is inclosed with a substantial stone wall, and the grounds are planted with evergreens and carefully kept. Of those who sleep here, the stones give us the family names of Bertolet---Bertolette; Bliem; De Nice; Dotterer; Frey; Gottschalk; Grobb; Hummel; Hunsberger; Nyce; Shoemaker; Smoll; Weidman; Zoller.

Marriage Notes for GEORG DODDERER and VERONICA: [List 1 A,B] William & Sarah Captain: William Hill From: Rotterdam By Way of: Dover Arrival: Philadelphia, 18 Sep 1727 A list of 109 Palatines, along with their families making about 400 persons. No convicts on board. Each adult passenger 16 years old or above was counted as one freight. Children 4-15 were counted as half-freights and were charged half the price of an adult for passage. Children under 4 were transported for free. The number listed next to each man's name was apparently the number of freights he was responsible for. If he came alone it was usually only one. If there were 3 freights, it might represent a husband, wife, and two children age 4-15; a husband wife, and child 16 or older; or some other such combination. These numbers can therefore give a general idea of the size of the family that was transported on the ship. If someone in the family died at sea, they were not counted in the number of freights for that family. The abbreviation Con. or Conn. appeared after several of the names on this list was probably indicated they were planning to settle in the Conestoga settlement (listed in the remarks column). Likewise Germt. and Skibach probably refer to the settlements of Germantown and Skippack (also listed in remarks column). Those listed at the end of the list may have prepaid for their passage and were not listed on the first list where the number of freights was recorded.

It lay with a trifling exception on the eastern side of Society Run. March 22, 1736, the Proprietaries gave him a patent of confirmation for this tract. May 4, 1726, he purchased of John Henry Sprogell, one hundred acres in New Hanover township, part of the Great Tract of 22377 acres; this fronted, on the southeast, the present dividing line between Frederick and New Hanover townships, and adjoined the tract purchased January 24, 1726. January 20, 1736, he purchased of the Proprietaries, fifty acres situated northeastward of his January 24, 1726, purchase, and adjoining it. June 22, 1751, he purchased of William Parsons, John Ross and Robert Greenway, one hundred and four acres and fifty porches in New Hanover township. This was to the northeastward of, and adjoined, his purchase of May 4, 1726. It was found, later, that of the one hundred acres purchased May 4, 1726, only sixty-nine acres and fifty perches were really owned by John Henry Sprogell; the remainder of thirty acres and one hundred and ten perches was the property of William Parsons, et al. , and was in the conveyance of one hundred and four acres and fifty perches made by them June 22, 1751. Michiiel Dotterer built his home on his first purchase, on the east bank of a bend in Society run, about two hundred yards southeast of the line of Sprogell's tract of 22,877 acres, now the boundary road between New Hanover and Frederick townships. His land lay almost entirely eastward of Society run. sloping gradually upward to the highland. Along the margin of the stream is a stretch of meadow. On the opposite bank rises a cliff which is to this day crowned with giant forest trees, amongst them stately hemlocks whose giant branches stretch over the brink and across the stream. The soft winds still sough amidst the treetops of this remnant of primitive forest as they did when the Indians frequented these solitudes and when the courageous settler came hither to build a home and found a family. The north end of the present farm house is said to have been the original dwelling erected by Michael Dotterer. May 20, 1756. Michael Dotterer sold to George Philiip Dotterer, his eldest son, the two adjoining tracts, containing together about one hundred and seventy-three acres, and one hundred perches, in New Hanover township. November ???, he conveyed to Michael Dotterer, Junior. his son, the two adjoining tracts, in Frederick townshijt, containing together two hundred acrc;s. By these two conveyances he disposed of all his lands, he provided for his children it is states in his will — l)y an Article and Bonds between himself and his son, Michael Dotterer, .Jr. This interesting instrument is not known to have been ])reserve(l.

HIERONIMUS "JEROME" DOTTERER3 DODDERER (GEORG PHILIP DUDDRA2, HANS1) was born Abt. 1701 in Germany, and died November 1727 in Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania. He married CATHERINE MESEL Abt. November 1723. She died Bef. 1797. Notes for HIERONIMUS "JEROME" DOTTERER DODDERER: He was only 26 when he died and living in Hannover Twn, Phil., Co., "Pensilvania". I wonder what happened to him? He was pretty well to do at that age..... On the 15th of January, 1728, his widow Catherine received letters of administration upon the estate of Jerome Doderer......by this time, she was already married to Michael Krause. The sureties on the administration bond were John Greathouse, Balthus Fauts and Michael Krause. He died Intestate...... *Info from The Dotterer Family By Henry Sassaman Dotterer, Henry Dotterer-page 41 And from the inventory we find done on January 16, 1728, the estate of the Widdow Dodoroh as follows: 1 paid of Leather briches; 1 homespun suit of Drugget; 1 Broad Cloth Vest; 1 felt Hatt; 1 Pair of Spatter Dashes; 1 Mare and a horse colt; 1 Black Horse; 1 chestnut colloured Mare; 1 Bay horse; 1 Brindle Cow; 1 Bay Colt; 1 Black Colt; 1 Red Cow; 1 Red Heifer; 1 spotted heifer; 3 Sheep; 3 Piggs; 1 Plow and Plow Tackling; 1 Saddle and two Bridles; to a Dutch Addez and a broad ax; 1 Grubbing and 2 rings and 5 wedges; 1 ax and broad hough and a Drawing Knife; 1 Iron Pott; 1 Little Iron Pott; 1 half Barrel; 1 Little Cagg; a Cutting Box and Knive; 5 Bushels of Barley; 40 Bushel unthreshed Wheat; the Green Corn and the Improvements 56 pounds; 18 pound in Money; 6 Pound due to the Estate -- it came to 128 pounds and more......As Mr. Henry Sassaman Dotterer in his book 'The Dotterer Family' wrote....The forgoing inventory indicates that Hieronimus Doderer was a young farmer of considerable importance for those times. He had no lack of horses and cattle, grain and money, and of farming implements he had a limited supply but no wagon or carrriage appears in the list of his possessions. There is no clue to the location of his farm; apparently he may not have owned it. At the date of his death Hanover and Limerick townships had been erected, but not Frederick township. There are no church records to which we can turn for information about the young settler. There are no church records to which we can turn for information about the young settler. He was, we may safely assume, attached to Falkner Swamp Reformed congregation, of which his father was an officer. This congregation was organized in 1725 by John Philip Bcehm, who was its pastor until 1748, but its records were kept in a private book by the pastor, and they are lost. He owed to Anthony Hincell; Johannes Percibil; Peter Rife; Cristian Statler; William Woodle; Elise Elizabeth; Ludwidg Sprogle; Thomas Rutter; Michell Herger; Joseph Groofe; Michell Crouse; John Palling; Hans Senseman; A. Shomacer; George Phillip Dodrer; Bastian Raffsnider; A. Shomacer; George Holeback and Christophel Foonck over 20 pounds..... NOTES. Hieronimus is the Latin for Jerome. In the few records we have this name is written in various ways: Hieronimus, Uronomiss and Eronemus, and in one case tradition renders it Griinimus. Hironimus Doderer is one of a number of names signed to the petition dated March, 1721 for a road from Bebber's township to George Warner's mill, in Sprogell's Tract. Veronica Doderer and Agnes Doderer, daughters of Hieronimus Doderer, made matrimonial alliances with prominent farmers of Falkner Swamp — the former was the wife of Philip Yost; the latter, of Jost Bitting. [The Dotterer Family by H.S. Dotterer] *********************************************************************************************** In colonial times the churches served as the major source of motives and mores. The foundation of community loyalty and cohesion, and the ultimate source of answers to questons of right and wrong. The diversity theme which appeared in so many aspects of life in Pennsylvania stood out sharply in its churches' histories. William Penn said, 'We must give the liberty we ask." [page 203 of The Book on Pennsylvania.] In the Great Awakening, a young Presbyterian, Gilbert Tennent brought this to Pennsylvania from New Jersey. That is where it began. His father, William had founded the Log College at Neshaminy in Bucks County to train Presbyterian preachers and Pennsylvanian leaders were often called the Log College revivalists. The violently attacked conventional churchgoing and demanded that parishioners pay less attention to the ceremonies and live the lifestyle that they so piously talked about. The sought converts and held home meetings and were accused of turning church services into bedlam, raging, shouting, stamping, and roaring at the congregation, who were meanwhile shouting, groaning, or rolling on the floor. While at their peak, George Whitefield, arrived in Philadelphia in 1739 and gave his prodigious qualities as a preacher to the movement. At first it was a divisive force. The Presbyterians expelled the revivalist congregations in 1741. In 1758, after the fire had burned out, they returned to the church which were then calling themself the Old Side or Old Light Presbyterians. The revival also split the Dutch Reformed Church and caused dissension in all but on the other had it temporarily reinforced the ecumenical movement as appealing as followers of a single faith. Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, a Lutheran, worked in cooperation. David Brainerd directed the Presbyterians to religious work among the Pennsylvania Indians and aided the Moravian missionary, David Zeisberger in his dramatic career amongh the natives. Some famous Quakers who supported the Revolutionary War, like Thomas Mifflin and Betsy Ross, were expelled. Some Mennonites settled at Germantown in 1683 and brought others to the locality. Peter Becker accompanied the first of The Dunkers or German Baptist Brethren to Germantown where, in 1723, he established the first German Baptist Brethren Church in America. Alexander Mack the founder, brought all his followers to Pennsylvania in 1729. There is a book titled 'Ortssippenbuch Eppingen im Kraichgau.' It is volume 109 of series A of these books and the 52nd volume of the 'Ortssippenbucher for Baden.' This book has been microfilmed. It is written in German but is easy to understand. It is a book of genealogies for the town of Eppingen. There is information of the Dodder/Dotter family. I am not sure where to find it. A 1726 petition for a road from Perkiomen Mill through Falkner's Swamp to Wander's Mill is signed by: George Filib Doddre; Michel Dottorer; Hironimus Dudder. * From page 90 ROADS. -The first roads, from one new settlement to another, were simply paths through the forest. No notice was taken by the owner of the unenclosed land of the use made by the few neighbors of his premise.-3 as a roadway. After a time, as the number of settlers increased, it became necessary to place restrictions upon the privilege of passing and repassing over private property. Petitions were accordingly addressed to the Court of Quarter Sessions, at Philadelphia, praying that roads be laid out for public use. The petition for the principal road of the township, running from the southeast to the northwest, formerly called the Skippack road, and now known as the Great road, was as follows: "To the Worshipful the Justices of the County Court of Quart Session held at Philada. the __ day of March, 1724-5. "The Petitions of the Westernmost Inhabitants of the sd County. "Humbly showeth. "Ther a road from Fanner's Mill to & thro Bebber's Township having been lately laid out, Your Petitioners humbly pray that the stone for the Conveinency of a multitude of Inhabitants, may be Extended to the Northern End of Sprogells Tract, where George Warner's Mill stands on Swamp Creek, Issuing from Oley and falling into Parkyemeny, Which said road so to be Extended cannot (it's with Submission to be, presumed) be injurious or detrimental to any, but on the Contrary Extraordinary beneficial and Commodious to all the adjacent Inhabitants. In hopes and Expectation of the obtaining of which reasonable request, your humble petitioners shall gratefully & as in duty bound, Ever pray, &c. "John Senseman.- William Frey. John Kenbenry (?)

Pastor competence and availability are causes. Problems occur because of turmoil and discord in the congregation, or because of some outside social or political factor. The register of the Germantown Lutheran Church has a gap from 29 November 1777 to 13 July 1778. The register tells why, "The arrival of British troops interrupted the service." [This harkens back to the late seventeenth century in Germany, when the pastors could have written, "The arrival of the French troops interrupted the service."] During this period, parents often took their children to other churches, where the minister was still on duty. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~george/johnsgermnotes/germhs36.html __________________________________________________________________________________________________ FALKNER SWAMP REFORMED CHURCH (Swamp Pike [county highway, Limerick to Gilbertsville] .5 mile SE of New Hanover.)

A famed Revolutionary site of 1777-1778 was Valley Forge. Norristown, the county seat, was laid out 1784; incorporated in 1812. Noted for its industries, Montgomery became a major suburban county. (City type: Courthouse, Swede & Airy Sts., Norristown.) http://www.signsofhistory.com/Penn/MONTGOME/montgome.htm John Philip Bcehm, Reformed Pastor in Whitpain township, Philadelphia county, in his blast against the Baptists, and efforts of Count Zinzendorf, in 1742, says with much sarcasm of Conrad Weiser: " Der ist, wie die gemeine Sage ist, ein 'Justice.' * * * Und es ist noch nicht bekannt warden, dasz er, seit der Zeit, durch Buse widergekehret und sich widmim zu seiner vorhin gehabten Lutherischen Religion verfueget." His fall may be somewhat mitigated by the fact, that Pastor Miller, who had been an educated and zealous laborer in the Church and a student from the University of Heidelberg, led the way from home. The shepherd led the sheep astray. But this only for a short season. Conrad Weiser held out but for a very brief period in his new quarters, as Beisel writes : " He was soon entrapped in the net of his own wisdom." This imitation monk had forebodings, it seems, already from the start, of his coming apostasy, in consequence of some curious pedal examination he bud made; had warned him, accordingly, of the peculiar temptation to which he stood exposed, and endeavored to prevent the relapse. " But, in spite of all this caution he fell a victim to the bloodthirsty avenger. Yea, though he had subjected himself to a most vigorous penance, which completely emaciated him, and suffered his beard to grow to such a length that no one knew him any longer, and had voluntarily contributed of his possessions for the furtherance of the Society's welfare — still, he fell away." But, after going so far from home, it is hardly possible to again arrive there in so short a time. The brethren of the homestead will, at all events, not hold them above suspicion. Hence we may term Conrad Weiser a sort of religious vagrant, ever after. His spiritual activity seems to be all circumference without centre. He is all things to all men, without being anything to himself, in a religious sense — perhaps as dangerous a spiritual state as one can well occupy. *The Life of (John) Conrad Weiser, the German Pioneer, Notes for CATHERINE MESEL: Catharina Doderer, widow of Hieronimus Doderer, shortly after her husband's death, married Michael Krause. Her maiden name does not appear in the meagre records at hand. The children of Michael and Catharina Krause were: Mary Krause, married Peter Smith.

Horlacher ------------------------------------------- Notes for MAJOR AND ESQUIRE JACOB TWIN MARKLEY: He was an early settler in Bebbers Township. In 1725 he signed his name Jacob Marckley to the petition to the court of Quarter Sessions of Philadelphia County, requesting that a township be regularly laid out covering this district and be given the name of Skippack and Perkiomen. He was naturalize Sept. 24, 1753. He was Esquire, Major in the First Battalion. (Info from The Penn. German Soc. book on Phildelphia Co. pg 280) The old Lutheran Family Bible of the Markleys was printed in Nuremberg, 1725. It contains a lengthy family record written by Jacob Markley, the original owner, Philip Markley, his son, and George Boyer, a later descendant. The earliest record [from The Strassburger Genealogy] says Jacob Markley was joined in Holy Matrimony to Barbara DODDERER [dau. of George Philip Dodderer] on the 13th day of February, Anno Domini 1722, and they begat the following children, to wit: (*info from the Dotterer Manuscripts, Notes, Volume XII, page 3.) He was a twin to Isaac who died in infancy. He came to Pennsylvania as a young man and settled in the Skippack region, where he met Barbara the daughter of George Philip and Veronica Dotterer. In 1734, he is reported as a taxable of Perkiomen and Skippack township owning 200 acres and on January 13, 1732/3 he paid quitrent on 382 acres of land in Bebbers Twn to the amount of l pound 12. 3. In the census taken June 5, 1756 of Parkiomen and Shippaake township appears the name Jacob Marcly, housekeeper; occupation, farmer, four children under 21; acres owned 150-50 acres cleared, 15 acres sowed with corn, 1 hore, 3 horned cattle. Jacob and his family attended the Augustus Lutheran Church, Trappe whose Pastor was Henry Melcior Muhlenberg, founder of the Lutheran Church in America. His eldest son, John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg, who became rector of Zion's and St. Paul's Church in New Jesey. He was stationed in Virginia, when the Rev. War broke. At Woodstock, he preached his powerful sermon on the sacred character of the struggle in which the colonies were engaged. At the conclusion of the sermon he said: "That it was the language of the Holy Writ there was a time for all things, a time to preach and a time to pray, but those times had passed and there was a time to fight and that time had now come." Pronouncing the benediction, he deliberately put off his gown and stood before his people clad in the uniform of a Continental officer. He rose to the rank of Brigadier General of the Army. Jacob Markley subscribed to the qualifications and was naturalized September 24, 1753, thus becoming a full citizen of Pennsylvania. As he had conscientious scruples against taking an oath, he is named as a Quaker and therefore merely affirmed the terms of naturalization. Both he and his family were members of Augustus Evangelical Lutheran Church at New Providence (Trappe), where we find the following entried on the church book: "Anna Barbara Merckle, daughter of Jacob, born October 6, 1746; baptized March 29, 1747; godparents, Abraham Merckle and wife. "April 7, 1751, in Providence was confirmed: Veronica Merckelin, Jacob Merckels daughter, 19 years old. She can read a little. "June 1, 1760, was confirmed Nella, Jacob Merckels daughter, 17 years old. "In the year 1770 was confirmed: Hanna Mercklin, Jacobs daughter, 18. "1751, April 30, Georg Schwenck and Veronica Merckelin, Jacob Merckels daughter were married. "Jacob Merckel and wife Barbara were sponsors for Jacob, son of Jurg Schwenck and wife Euphronica, born 7th June, baptized 3rd August, 1755." Jacob was chosen by the citizens of Philadelphia County as Esquire, Major at the age of 76 in the First Battalion which included Perkiomen and Skippack townships. Colonel Heisters Regiment was ordered to Swede's Ford, on duty, but the Revolutionary rolls, as they appear in the Pennsylvania Archives, do not again mention Jacob although he was known as major Markley the rest of his life. He was 84 when he died. He may have been born in Bonfeld, Germany. ******************************************************************* MARKLEY, JACOB. Skippack. June 19, 1779.

Notes for DAU MARKLEY: SKIPPACK ENCAMPMENT and HEADQUARTERS Researched and written by Mike Dickey Historian, Skippack Historical Society The encampment of an army that included some 11,000 Continental soldiers and Militia would have covered quite a large area of land. For comparison, the Valley Forge Park office informs that most all of its +3,300 acres was used in the encampment of Washington's army, December 1777 to June 1778. Approximately, the army was spread from Forty Foot Rd. and Kober Rd., south towards Thompson Rd. and Mayhall Rd., as the "Papers of General Nathanial Greene" states the belief that troops were also encamped near the Mennonite church until October 2nd, on the west side of the Skippack Creek. (qtd in Acanthus Group, Papers, 12) As Forty Foot Rd. is not too far from the creek, it is almost definite that the encampment included land to the west side of that road. During encampments, it is reasonable to believe that the army set up camp away from the creek, so as not to contaminate their water supply. With 11,000 troops, undoubtedly there were sick and wounded among them. Land where the encampments took place can also contain graves of soldiers, long forgotten and unmarked. For example, graves of soldiers are found at the site of the Pennypacker's Mill encampment. As mentioned in a previous section, the Joseph Smith house was noted as being Washington's headquarters at Skippack. The Smith farm was located along the east side of Skippack Creek, between Skippack Pike and Hedrick Rd. However, a long time tradition in this area believes that the "Palmer house" was used as his headquarters. It is most probable that it did play some role in the encampment. Below, will be evidence that the headquarters house was more likely on the neighboring Joseph Smith farm to the east of the Palmer property, across the Skippack Creek and also owned by the Park.

The red line and arrow represent the movement of the troops southeast along the Skippack Road into Skippack from Pennypacker Mills. The blue line and arrow represent the movement of the troops back northwest after the Battle of Germantown. (Map created by Bradley S. DeForest.) The Palmer property was located along Forty Foot Rd., on the west side of the Skippack Creek, bordered by the road and the creek. The home is known as the "Palmer house" by locals because of the family's residency through much of the 1900's. The house is yet standing but has fallen into neglect. It is owned by the Evansburg State Park, listed as the "Heatherington house". CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HEATHERINGTON HOUSE ALSO KNOWN AS THE SHOEMAKER HOUSE AND THE PALMER HOUSE. The Palmer house has its origins from the first settlers, Dirick and William Renberg (brothers). The Rembergs purchased 300 acres from Mathias Van Bebber in 1706. Heckler writes, "on November 1, 1721, the Renbergs sold to George Merckle (Markley), a plantation of 150 acres". A plantation applied to land that was planted or plantable, inferring that a dwelling was in existence. The land extended eastward from Forty Foot Rd. Heckler states that Merckle later "sold off all his land excepting a small farm of 20 acres with the tenement, and made his will dated May 10, 1762." It is believed that the tenement was situated at the farm's edge, being a corner boundary, at NE corner of Forty Foot Rd. & 73. It was originally a stone house of one room downstairs with a room above. (Torn down for a dentist office.) The original Renberg or Merckle farmhouse appears to have had two rooms downstairs and two above, as noted on a past inspection by the writer, and confirmed by Mary Gehman who was a Palmer and grew up in this house. The house has an addition to the northern gable end that may have doubled its size. Author James Heckler refers to a date stone "D. & H. A.", David & Helena Allebach, owners from 1798 to 1836. At the time of Washington's encampment, the farm was owned by Jacob Godshalk of Lower Salford who purchased the farm of 22 acres, on March 1, 1774. His will was dated October 22, 1781, selling it to his only son Godshalk Godshalk. (Heckler) Located in close proximity, this Palmer house and the Joseph Smith house were in plain view and earshot of the other. Given the number of Generals on Washington's staff, the Palmer house most likely played host to one or more of them. The Palmer family had noted the Revolutionary artifacts found on their property, including a sword. The items found here further indicate and support the location of the encampment along the western side of the Skippack Creek. To give further support to Washington's headquarters at Skippack, we review the 1936 writings of B. Witman Dambly, an older, long time resident and publisher of the former Skippack newspaper, the "Montgomery Transcript". Here, the use of the Joseph Smith home is discussed. Mr. Dambly gives us an accounting from descendents of the Joseph Smith family about revolutionary times. He wrote, "Before I was born, a Johnson family, sturdy people, known for their native intelligence and patriotism, lived on the 45 acre farm on Skippack Road where stands the 24th milestone (near Kerr Rd). I first learned to know the Johnsons after their removal from that farm. Elizabeth, married to a Fuss and later to a Hallman, was born on that farm February 1, 1820 and died at Lansdale, in 1917. Her parents had told her that the children went from their house, through their own field, to Skippack Road where the milestone stands, to see the soldiers going up and down the road. Elizabeth and other members of the Johnson family agreed that on one occasion several sick soldiers were lying on the bank at the roadside near the milestone. Here, an old lane leads to the farm buildings. (this lane is partially visible today, only the section near where it meets Skippack Pike, being lined with a stand of trees) The patriotic mother (a Johnson) came out to the road with soup and other food for the sick men. Another version is that the Johnson family took the sick soldiers to their house and nursed them until well enough to join the rest of the army." (Dambly) Dambly explains that the rest of the story was discovered as a result of a celebration in 1927, the year of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Germantown. A member of a society in Germantown asked, "Who was Joseph Smith?" Here, the Montgomery Transcript used its columns to ask the same question of its readers. An answer was received by Robert B. Souder of Souderton whose father, Jacob G., used to farm part of the of the headquarters farm up until the early 1920's. Mr. Souder had a number of old papers including a draft of a farm owned by Joseph Smith prior to the Revolution. The draft was made in 1775 for Joseph Smith by David Schultz, a Schwenkfelder from East Greenville area, who was a widely known and respected surveyor. The draft is of a farm having 127 acres and one set of buildings. "The tract had a frontage of more than 4000 feet on Skippack Road…it had a uniform depth of 1280 feet." The farm must have extended from the center of the Skippack Creek towards the township line near Cedars, and possibly included parts of the south side of Skippack Pike, given the 7 property owners of the farm after being divided. Names include Bean, Wilkie, Cassel, Kerr, Kulp, Speller, and Kulka. At the time of his writing, the owner was Francis F. Kulp, of a farm reduced to 45 acres. Dambly writes that "a public road (Kerr Rd.) has been cut through the farm from Skippack Road, near the milestone, in an easterly direction to the Towamencin line. The length of this cross-road is about ¼ of a mile." The map of 1893 shows the owner as "W.J. Fuss, 46 acres" which extended to Kerr Rd., and "John P. Detwiler, 39 acres" on the east side of Kerr Rd. It is likely that Joseph Smith purchased his 127 acres from George Merckle (Markley) prior to 1762. The Merckle farm of 150 acres extended east from Forty Foot Rd. Merckle had sold off land from his farm, ending up with 20 acres, house and tenement, as Heckler indicated. "The 1766 assessor's list of Skippack Township contains the name of Joseph Smith, Sr., tailor. His children were Jacob, Henry, Joseph, Katherine, and John. Joseph Smith, Sr. died August 8, 1782 at age 76 years, and is buried at the Lower Skippack Mennonite cemetery." (Dambly) Joseph Smith had two sons enlisted in the war. Dambly suggests "this may be the reason for Washington choosing the Smith home as his headquarters. (He probably felt assured that the Smith family was in support of the Revolution, not every family was in favor of it.) Joseph's son, John Smith, was captain of a company of militia from the region of Skippack. Captain Smith was killed or wounded in the Battle of Germantown. His other son, Joseph, served in the regiment of the Pennsylvania artillery commanded by Colonel John Fyre, and was taken prisoner at the Battle of Germantown." Dambly wrote that the Joseph Smith house was of stone, "plastered during the recollection of the oldest residents…there was a date stone, covered over. From several sources, I have it that the house was built between 1700 and 1800. All agree that it is the same house that stood when Washington was there. Descendants of the two former owners of the farm inform me that the house had one-story frame addition; that this frame part was moved about a hundred feet and placed over a walled-up spring and that Washington occupied that springhouse as well. In another location, not far from the house, stood a log house that is still well remembered by the oldest residents with whom I recently spoke." He also mentions the close proximity to the creek as being favorable to Washington. (It had been thought by others that Washington may have favored his headquarters to be on the opposite side of a creek from his army. At Pennypacker's Mill it is argued that the headquarters house was on the west side of the Perkiomen Creek, while his army camped at Pennypacker's on the east side.) Dambly includes this supporting data from "Washington's account books, as annotated by John C. Fitzpatrick, Assistant Chief of the manuscript division of the Library of Congress, a trustworthy source, furnishing the link that connects the entire story and removes all doubt of its authenticity. These records say that on October 2, 1777, Washington paid Joseph Smith 2 pounds and 15 shillings 'for use of house and trouble caused' while quartered there. Under the same date, there is the record of an additional payment made to Joseph Smith of 11 pounds, 19 shillings and 6 pence for sundries - evidently supplies of various kinds." At this time, we can not say if there are more entries related to the Skippack encampment that might include other houses, etc. Dambly mentioned that Washington died three years short of time allotted to man, and twenty-two years after the army encamped at Skippack. He adds, "the headquarters tract was marked by three signs and a flag when the pilgrimage was made during the Germantown Anniversary celebration, October 1, 1927." The headquarters home on the Joseph Smith farm was included in the purchase of Evansburg State Park. It was demolished in the mid 1970's. This is a photo taken in Evansburg State Park of a stone foundation wall of a structure located on the property once known as the Joseph Smith Farm. It appears to be the barn which was located near the house. 19. vii. VERONICA MARKLEY, b. April 01, 1732, Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania; d. October 02, 1777. 20. viii. REBEKAH R. MARKLEY, b.

He died soon after this, for the will was probated less than three months from the date of its draught By the terms this instrument--which is simple, clear and wise-little was necessary to be done, beyond the selling of his personal property and its distribution. His widow probably made her home with her sons, William Antes and Frederick Antes, both men of influence, the former residing in New Hanover township, the latter in Frederick township, on the Antes homestead. In later life she resided in Northumberland county, whither her son, Colonel Frederick Antes, moved during the Revolutionary war, or immediately after its close, and there she died, as already stated.

BARNABAS DODDERER. CHURCH CONNECTION. Bernhard Dodderer was, of course, a member of the Reformed Church. He appears to have been identified with the New Goshenhoppen congregation until about 1748; after this, Rev. John Philip Leydich having assumed the pastorate of Falkner Swamp congregation, he became connected with the latter church. In this he followed the course of his brother, Michael Dotterer (page 28).

At Whit-suntide, 1756, Henry Dotterer in his 17th year, and Elizabeth Dotterer, in her 15th year, were confirmed at Falkner Swamp Reformed church. NOTES.

In 1740 Bernd Dodderer was an Overseer of the Poor of New Hanover township. Bernhard Dotterer and Michael Dotterer appeared before Peter Evans, Register General, March 7, 1744, and proved the will of Michael Krebs, late of New Hannover township. They also, (with Philip Huhn and George Yerger) witnessed the will, which was dated January 10, 1744. Bernhart Dotterer and George Jorger were executors of the will of Rudolph Marolph, probated December 28, 1748.

Notes for CHRISTINA ELIZABETH DEWEES: Christiana married Bernard after her first husband Henry Antes died. She may have died in Northam County. Her and Bernard occupied a prominent station, with comfortable surroundings, but the marriage was of short duration due to Bernards death in 1758. _______________________ Maria Magdalena Antes, ninth child of Henry Antes, married ____ Ebbing. She died at Herrnhut, Germany, April 17, 1811. The Antes name we find, in the successive generations, ever in the van of enterprise. They are a race of builders; mechanism is their birthright. As we look upon the long line of honorable names; we find many of them to excel as engineers, architects, inventors and manufacturers; and when they turn from these pursuits to bear arms, to engage in the legal profession, or to assume the sacred office, they still hold a foremost position. When we contemplate the great number of the descendants of "the pious layman of Frederick township," scattered broadcast over the globe, the mind turns instinctively to the promise made to the patriarch of old: "I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee." Contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Susan Walters HOME NEWS http://www.deweeses.com/Henry%20Antes.htm ********************************************************************************************************************************* Her grandson Benjamin Henry Latrobe designed much of the US captiol building after it burned and some of the White House wings etc and the Catholic Church in Baltimore. Inadequate funding and material and manpower shortages dictated the Capitol phased construction. The north or Senate wing was begun first because its numerous rooms could house the entire Congress until the south wing was built. In fact, the House of Representatives, Senate, Supreme Court, and Library of Congress all moved into the north wing when the federal government settled permanently in Washington in 1800. Contrary to the rules established by Renaissance architectural theorists, Jefferson suggested locating both the House and Senate chambers at ground level rather than on the second floor. Both were to be double-story rooms with visitors' galleries that overlooked legislative proceedings below. However, on the exterior the main story seemed to be the second story. Apparently, Jefferson wished to emphasize the easy accessibility of America's political system and at the same time the supremacy of the people. Both the first Senate chamber designed by Stephen Hallet and the first hall for the House of Representatives designed by James Hoban were built following Jefferson's suggestion; both were replaced because of faulty construction. Before the War of 1812, Latrobe redesigned and rebuilt most of the north-wing interiors, placing a new semicircular Supreme Court on the ground floor and a new Senate directly above it. Both rooms were vaulted in brick for permanence and grandeur. Only the Supreme Court survived the fire of August 24, 1814, nearly intact. Latrobe demonstrated his genius as an architect in his design for the courtroom and two adjacent vestibules. He achieved the impression of expansiveness in relatively small areas by creating layers of space and varying ceiling shapes and heights. The vestibules contained Latrobe's most memorable symbols, corncob and tobacco leaf and lower capitals for his newly invented American orders (columns with their capitals and entablatures).

Notes for ANNA ELIZABETH DODDERER: The name Dotterer is a very unusual one, and very few of the early names born by the German emigrants coming to Pennsylvania appear in more varied form upc our public records. It is just as often spelled with a "T" as a "D", a fluff a an "o", while the final syllable is as frequently 'a' as ler'. In each case we have made it a point to preserve the form as it appears in the original document quoted. A study of the probable derivation of this name may, to a great extent, explain the difficulty English clerks seem to have experienced in recording it. In t Teutonic name system the root meaning affection or fondness is Dod, Tod or Tc Old German Dodo or Doddo, English Todd or Dodd. When compounded with Hari (warrior) in Old German, the Ninth Century, it became Dothari or with Ric (power), Dothrih. The English forms are Dotry, Doddridge, Dottridge. http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/PAMONROE/2005-07/1122038381 Notes for HANS MICHAEL ZIMMERMAN: His will said, "Lost all hopes of getting his health again."

FREDERICK TOWNSHIP. By Henry S. Dotteror. FREDERICK TOWNSHIP is bounded on the northwest by New Hanover and Upper Hanover townships; on the east by Perkiomen Creek, flowing from north to south, separating it from Marlborough and Upper Salford Townships; on the southeast by Perkiomen township; and on the southwest by Limerick and New Hanover townships. It contains an area of thirteen thousand four hundred and forty acres, is about five miles wide on the northwest border, four and three quarters miles long on the southwest, and one and one-half miles wide on the southeast. Its centre is fifteen miles distance northwest from. Norristown, the county-seat, and thirty-two miles from Philadelphia. Throughout the township strong spring issue from the slopes and in the valleys, and are the sources of an umber of streams which flow through and enrich the land. Deep Creek falls into the Perkiomen in the north, and Swamp Creek from the north-west and Mine Run from the south enter it in the south. The tributaries of Swamp Creek are Old Goshenhoppen Run and Society Run. The surface of the township is decidedly rolling, verging to a hilly character; but it is well adapted to farming in all parts except in the north, where the Deep Creek hills attain considerable eminence, and in the southwest, between Swamp Creek and Mine Run, where rise the bold and rocky Stone Hills. The soil in the western portion, embracing the broad and fertile valley between Swamp Creek and Society Run, is red shale, easy of cultivation and free from stones; on the plateau between Society Run and Old Goshenhoppen Run, including the eastern slope of the last named stream, being the central part of the township, it is a white clay; and the eastern section, inclining towards Perkiomen Creek, is a yellow, sandy soil, somewhat encumbered with bowlders. All the tillable sections have been brought by the untiring industry and thorough husbandry of the inhabitants to a high state of cultivation and productiveness. Perkiomen, Swamp and Deep Creeks possess remarkably interesting and picturesque features. At their junctions the scenery is notably striking and rugged. The swift flowing waters of these streams, dashing over and between smooth worn stones and falling over the numerous dams, which check their free course, furnish beautiful views, worthy of the artist's pencil. In the past they abounded in fish, and they are yet frequented by lovers of fishing from near and far. The primitive forest has almost entirely disappeared. On the high grounds of the township grow oak, hickory, ash, walnut, chestnut, butternut, maple, gum, tulip-poplar, hemlock, pine and spruce, besides the smaller growths, sassafras, dogwood, wild cherry, persimmon, spice-woods, juniper, sumac, elder and hazel, and the blackberry, whole-berry, raspberry, sheep-berry and strawberry. In wet places the mottled-grinded button-wood or water beach may be found, towering to a great height. Along Swamp Creek grows a species of hickory bearing nuts of extraordinary size and of hard, thick shell. On Deep Creek and its affluents spruce and other evergreens grow to the exclusion almost of other trees. The land here is inclosed and devoted to grazing young cattle, which are driven into the pasture called in the Pennsylvania German, Baschtert -in the spring-time and left without further attention until fall. Frederick village, on the Great road, near the northwestern line of the township, is about half a mile long. It contains a post-office, one general store, one creamery, One blacksmith-shop, one, tannery, thirteen dwelling-houses and about sixty inhabitants. The Green Tree tavern is located at its lower end. ERECTION OF THE TOWNSHIP. Up to 1731 the territory now comprised in Frederick was without an official name and without a local government. It was known as Falkner Swamp, in common, with the remainder of the extensive region drained by Swamp Creek and its tributaries. With the influx of settlers the necessity of civil authority became manifest. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dotterer, Conrad b: 20 SEP 1711 in Wurttemburg, Germany d: JAN 1801 in Falkner Swamp Reformed, Montgomery Co, PA --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Found in NARA documents; Penn.

Notes for HANS GEORGE HEEBNER: A religious movement of importance, in which a number of the inhabitants of Frederick Township were interested, took rise in 1742 in Pennsylvania. Count Zinzendorf came to America in 1741 upon a religious mission. Henry Antes, of Frederick, soon made his acquaintance. They conferred with reference to uniting "such souls out of the different religious denominations who sought their salvation through Jesus Christ, through the bonds of love," -a subject in which they both felt a deep interest. On the 15th of December, 1741, a call was issued, over the signature of Henry Antes, for a meeting of Christians at Germantown on New Year's day. Another meeting was held at the house of George Heebner, in Frederick township, on the 14th and 15th of January, at which John George Stieffel William Frey Andrew Frey Henry Antes Adam Schaus, all of Frederick Township, were in attendance. On the 7th of December 1742, Count Zinzendorf preached at Falkner Swamp (doubtless at the house of Henry Antes), from Psalm cxxx, 3: "If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?" The unity movement meeting with opposition from many of the Lutheran, Reformed, Mennonites, Dunker, and Schwenkfelders now became a Moravian interest. The second week in March, 1745, the Moravian Synod met at the house of Henry Antes, in Frederick Township. it Moravian congregation was formed in Frederick township which, in 1747, numbered twenty-three persons. Of those who were permanently settled in Frederick Township, the following were connected with this Moravian congregation: William Frey and family Andrew Frey Henry Antes and family. *Beans History of Mont. Co., PA ___________________________________________ From the Dotterer Papers, Vol. IV, p 53: "There was a tavern more than a hundred years ago where Abraham Hunsberger lives on the road from Keelor's Church to Perkiomenville. It was kept by a man named Hevener--Hunsberger's was first owned by John or (Hans) George Hevener, afterwards by his son, John. Abraham Hunsberger bought it in 1799. The burial place (of the Heveners) is on Henry H. Johnson's land; formerly it was part of Hevener's farm. Hoff's wife was a granddaughter of Hans George Hevener.

Notes for VERONICA DOTTERER: She was only two when her father died. Her grandfather George Philip gave her 19 pounds and 3 shillings and 4 pence within ten years after the death of the[ testator and his wife] See Falkner Swamp Reformed church records, p 200. Unless otherwise attributed, the source of information presented, including the names and birthdates of the children, is taken from Henry Sassaman Dotterer’s "The Dotterer Family" Philadelphia, PA: Author, 1903, pp 84-85. Dotterer says that Veronica Yost’s mother’s maiden name is recorded in the records of the Oley Moravian congregation which are preserved in the Moravian archives at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania ----------------------------------------------------------------------- According to Dotterer, the words on the headstone at Veronica Yost’s grave are: Hier ruhen die Gebeine der Seeligvereinigten Vronica Jostin, gebohrne Dottern und Ehefrau des Philip Jost. Sie war gebohren den 7ten January 1725. Lebte in der Ehe 52 Jahre, 6 Monat und 13 Tage. Starb den 7tn Decbr 1798. Here is a translation: Here repose the remains of the blessed united Vronica Jost, born Dotter and wife of Philip Jost. She was born the 7th of January 1725. Lived in marriage 52 years, 6 months and 13 days. Died the 7th of December 1798. The burial of Veronica Yost in December 1798 by the Rev. Frederick Dällicker is recorded in William J. Hinke’s translation of the records of Falkner Swamp Reformed Church, p 200. Her age at death is given as 73 years, 11 months. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes for PHILIP YOST: He died 23 October 1804, age 86 years, 5 months and 12 days, at Pottsgrove Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania and is buried in the Reformed and Lutheran Union churchyard at Pottstown, Montgomery County. See Falkner Swamp Reformed church records, p 203. The old records of Falkner Swamp Reformed Church, New Hanover Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania for the years 1748 to 1854, were translated from the German script by William J. Hinke in 1940. These records have not been published but the translation is available in two manuscript volumes, prepared by Hinke in September 1940. At the time I examined this translation, on 9 May 1964, it was owned by the Historical Society of the Evangelical and Reformed Church which was housed at Franklin & Marshall College, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ At the time of Philip Yost’s birth, Nassau was an independent state. It was annexed by Prussia following the Seven Weeks’ War of 1866. It is now a part of West Germany. Various biographies of his descendants (Refer to the list following this chapter) agree that he was born in Nassau but the exact place is not given nor has this fact been independently verified. According to some of these biographies, Philip Yost emigrated to America about 1740, at the age of 22 years old. This may be the same Philip Jost (also written Phillup Just) who arrived at Philadelphia 26 September 1741 (date qualifed) aboard the St. Mark, Captain William Wilson, master. The ship was from Rotterdam, via Cowes. The captain’s list contains 101 names. (See Ralph Beaver Strassburger’s, "Pennsylvania German Pioneers," Norristown, PA: Pennsylvania German Society, vol 1, pp 297, 298 and 300.) According to Dotterer, Philip Yost was naturalized 24 September 1745. He was a farmer. He settled at Limerick Township where he resided until 1 April 1768 when he acquired a 204-acre farm from Jeremiah JORDAN in Pottsgrove (then New Hanover) Township near Pottstown and moved there. Since Montgomery County was not carved out of Philadelphia County until 10 September 1784, the records of this land transaction will be found in Philadelphia. He and his family were members originally of Falkner Swamp Reformed congregation, but later of the Pottstown Reformed congregation. In 1769, he was taxed L16.4.0 proprietary tax on 200 acres, four horses and six cattle. (Pennsylvania Archives, 3rd series, vol 14, p 41). In 1774, he was assessed L17.1.4 provincial tax on 200 acres, four horses and six cattle. (PA:3:14:333). In 1779, he was taxed L21.0.0 for effective supplies and L5.5.0 for the state (or five shilling) tax. (PA:3:14:593; PA:3:15:31). According to Dotterer, he was assessed that year on 155 acres, two horses and six cattle and was elected an Overseer of the Poor of New Hanover Township. In 1780, he was taxed L93.7.6 for effective supplies on a valuation of L4,150.0.0. (PA:3:15:515). There must have been a lot of inflation that year. In 1781, he was taxed L7.13.0 for effective supplies on a valuation of L677.0.0. (PA:3:16:7). In 1782, he was taxed L3.17.5 for effective supplies on a valuation of L619.0.0. (PA:3:16:261). According to Dotterer, he was chosen an Overseer of Highways that year. In 1783, he was assessed for federal supply tax on 170 acres, one horse, two horned cattle and five sheep. (PA:3:16:625). In the 1790 Census of Pennsylvania, p 162, Philip Yost is listed in Montgomery County with three free white males over age 16 and two under age 16 and eight free white females. Perhaps some of his children and their families were living with him. In the 1800 Census of Pennsylvania, Philip Yost is listed in New Hanover Township, living alone. (See National Archives Microcopy M-32, Roll 41, p 733.) http://yost.family-history.com/Yost00Dotterer.htm The will of Philip Yost of New Hanover Township was signed 3 January 1797 and proved 12 November 1804. (Montgomery County RW 7541, OC 21202). He names his wife, Vronica (who was still living when the will was signed) and the following heirs: eldest son John, second son Harmon, youngest son Philip, daughter Catharine Refshnyder’s six children: Philip, Mary, Andrew, Veronica, Elizabeth and Chartharin, and his four living daughters: Elizabeth Missamer, Salomey Barlinger, Magdelon Missimer and Rachel Ortlep. His sons John and Philip were executors. The burial of Philip Yost of Pottsgrove on 23 October 1804 by the Rev. Frederick Herman is recorded in Hinke’s translation of the records of Falkner Swamp Reformed Church, p. 203. His age at death is given as 86 years, 5 months and 12 days. Note: Montgomery County Will Book: Philip Yost, Senior New Hanover, made 1797; proved 1804. Sons, John, Philip and Harmon, executors.

COL. DANIEL M. YOST. - Philip Yost, born May, 1718, emigrated to America prior to the year 1740 from Nassau, West Germany, and settled in Limerick township, Montgomery Co. He subsequently removed to the Yost homestead, near Pottstown, in New Hanover township, which is still among the family possessions. To his wife, Veronica Dotterer, were born three sons, among whom was Philip, a native of Limerick township, whose birth occurred August 24, 1757. He served with credit during the Revolutionary war, having encamped with the army at Valley Forge during the winter of 1778 -79 and participated in the engagements at Germantown, Brandywine and Stillwater, continuing in service until the close of the conflict. He married Rosina Berninger, whose surviving sons were Benjamin B. and Philip. The former, born on the 31st of December, 1787, was a soldier of the war of 1812, and filled the offices of commissioner and register of wills in his county. He married, on the 13th of November, 1813, Sarah Feather, whose children were Isaac F., Benjamin F., Sarah and Elizabeth. The first named was born March 2, 1815, in Pottsgrove, where his life has chiefly been spent. He has been honored with the offices of county auditor, county commissioner and associate judge, having been the last incumbent of the latter position. He married Rosina, daughter of Daniel Miller, of Pottsgrove township, and has children, - Daniel M., Benjamin M., Isaac M., Philip M., John R. and five daughters. Daniel M. Yost was born on the 27th of August, 1839, in Pottsgrove township, where he attended the public school of the district, and later received superior advantages of education at Washington Hall, situated at the Trappe. From 1852 until 1854 he varied the vocation of a teacher with labor on the farm, and in March of the latter year accepted a position as clerk in a dry-goods store in Norristown, continuing thus occupied until the beginning of the war in 1861. On the 19th of April he enlisted for three months in the Fourth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and was during this period of service promoted to the position of first sergeant of his company. The following spring he embarked in business with J.H. Brendlinger, and during the fall of 1862, Colonel Yost again manifested his patriotism by raising a company during the emergency and immediately reporting for duty at Harrisburg. Such was the spirit infused into this band of recruits by their captain that in thirty-six hours from the time of their enlistment they were en route for the State capital. Colonel Yost was promoted from a captaincy to the position of lieutenant-colonel of the Eleventh Pennsylvania Volunteers, which was the first regiment that crossed the line into Maryland and reinforced General Reynolds at Hagerstown. On his return from service he was commissioned lieutenant-colonel of the One Hundred and Seventy-ninth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and while serving with his regiment was wounded at Baltimore Cross-Roads, near White House Landing, Va. In 1864 he resumed his business relations, and has since that date been one of the representative merchants of Norristown. Colonel Yost, was, in 1863, married to Hannah, daughter of Solomon Feather, of Norristown. The children of this marriage are Daniel F., Harry F., Walter, Maria R. and Ella. Colonel Yost has been largely identified with the business interests of the borough, as also of the county. A Democrat in politics, he does not participate in the various political movements of the time and invariably declines office. He is a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, Norristown.

July 13, 1819, Pottsgrove Twn., Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania. ii. HERMAN YOST, b. 1749. Notes for HERMAN YOST: According to a book written by Dr. Wm B. Duttera in 1934, page 13, George Philip Dodderer came to America on the ship Concord; landing at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 6, 1683. He was to have helped to build Germantown in Montgomery Co., PA. I looked at the passenger list for the Concord and did not find the Duddra name. I have not been able to find this families arrival record on any ship. The first record we have of them involves property transactions, a deed dated Dec. 22, 1722, that he bought from Hans Neus. On May 12, 1740 he took the oath of allegiance to the King of England. He was supposed to have been the first settler on the banks of Society Run and Indians were his only neighbors. Family Tradition has it that they came over built a home on the west bank of Society Run by digging a cave under the branches of a buttonwood tree. The Indians in the vicinity frequently visited their new paleface neighbors and soon established friendly relations. At times they solicited permission to take the Dotterer children to play with their papooses--a request our foreparent feared to grant yet dared not refuse. It was soon learned that the Indians cared for the little palefaces the same as their own offspring. The Indians had a way of fastening the children to branches of trees, bent down for the purpose, and swinging them to and fro in the air. Indian and white children were served the same food, prepared in a wooden trough carved from the trunk of a tree. At the close of the day the Indians would bring the children back to their parents' home and no instance is remembered of bad faith on the part of the natives. The Dotterers had several pigs which were the objects of much curiosity to the Indians, who had never seen them before. They came daily to the settler's clearing, bringing acorns for the sow and her family. Seeking to preserve the good will of their savage neighbors, our ancestor thought it politic to present them a pig, which was carried home with evidences of great appreciation. One day, Father Dodderer treked through the forest to visit the Indian camp. To his amazement, he found one of the squaws squatted on the ground in the sun nursing both her papoose and the little pig, the child looking distrustfully at its rival, but the pig seemed quite contented. This was passed down from father to son as received from the late Michael Dotter b. June 15, 1811, died Dec. 13, 1899 and was reared in the vicinity of the old homestead. The farm was located near Pottstown, Pennsylvania, on Society Run and was still standing in 1946. A photo appears in The Family of Morton McIlvain Dukehart. Eli Geisinger's barn later stood on the spot where George first located. The name Duddra has been changed to over 37 differents forms. Dodder, Dotter, Duttrey, Totherah etc. George was a carpenter and a farmer. *The Dodders came from an area in Germany called the Kraichgau. It is referred to in German as a "Ritterkanton," a knights' canton. In 1521 Gemmingens Lord, Baron Wolf v. Gemmingem founded a "Lateinschule," or Latin school. It continued for over a century, until 1635. The Barons v. Gemmingen figured prominently in the Reformation. As Reichsritter, or knights for the realm, they used their influence to foster the Reformation and to shield and protect the reformers. The three brothers v. Gemmingen, Dietrich, Phillip, and Wolf, had dividied the possession of their father Pleikard among themselves at the time of his death, in 1515. They introduced the Reformation into the Kraichgau, along with Erhart Schnopf, a native of Heilbronn in 1521/22. Their preacher, Bernhard Griebler, brought the new doctrine to Gemmingen. Wolf and Dietrich witnessed Martin Luther's famous courageous stand before the diet of Worms, April 18, 1521. They have records in the church in Gemmingen. The combined Lutheran and Reformed parish records of the church in Stebbach date back to 1675 and forward to 1962. They are available at the FHL. * Information from The Heritage Quest #48, page 25. In 1689, the armies of Louis XIV of France invaded this area. If they had not left by then, that probably would have convinced them to. In 1702, Skippack began as an outgrowth of Germantown, PA. 1000 acres had been bought in Germantown by Govert Remke of Crefeld, Germany. 161 acres were laid out at Germantown. The balance he sold in 1686 to matthias Van Bebber, who by adding 915 acres by purchase, had this whole tract of 6,166 acres located by patent, Feb. 22, 1702. In 1709, Jacob, Johannes and Martin Kolb, weavers, purchased ezch a large tract and settle thereon. The original owners in the Perkiomen region were Telman Kolb, Gerret Clemens, Michael Ziegler, Hans Bower, Andrew Lederah and Georg Philip Dodderer (Totherah) and Jacob Markley. Most of these had been living in Perkiomen Twn many years before the date of this account. (Samuel W. Pennypacker, "History of Germantown", p. 142 Pennsylvania Magazine, Vol. IV, p. 24) Feb. 2, 1738-9, George Phikip Totherah, for 100 as in Fredericks Tp 4 1/2 years in full.. 8.9.9 ----- Original Message ----- From: McCarty To: Charles [Dodder, Duddra, George] Kron Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2000 11:26 AM Subject: Info on Duddra Charles, There is a book titled Ortssippenbuch Eppingen im Kraichgau. it is volume 109 of series A of these books and the 52nd volume of the Ortssippenbucher for Baden. This book has been microfilmed. It is written in German but I hear is easy to understand. It is a book of genealogies for the town of Eppingen. There is information on the Dodder, Dotter family. I am not sure where to find it, perhaps at the Mormon centers, FHL. Back to what I have from the 'Eighteenth Century Emigrants, The Northern Kraichgau', page 90. There is a notation that says: Stebbach Reformed KB: Georg Philips Dodderer and wife Veronica [also given in record as Fronecka] had: 1.

GEORGE5 MARKLEY, b. 1755; d. 1816; m. ELIZABETH CLEMENS; b. Abt. 1755. Notes for GEORGE MARKLEY: New Hanover- This township is bounded on the northeast by Upper Hanover, south by Limerick, east by Frederick, north and northwest by Douglas and southwest by Pottsgrove township. Its at . is about 12,900 acres, the fourth in size of alt in the county. Its streams include the Deep creek, Swamp creek, and their several branches. The water5 of Swamp creek have for generations turned many a waterwheet in propelling the saw and gristmills, as well as small factories. The name of this township, Hanover, is derived from Hanover, a capital and kingdom of Germany. That was the home of many Lutherans who came to America and settled in the township now being considered, and they very naturally named the township after some geographical name in the Fatherland. But at one time others styled this locality "Falkner's Swamp," after Daniel Falkner, an agent of the Frankfort Land Company. But certain it is that from 1734 it was known generally as New Hanover. At first it embraced all of its present territory, as well as Upper Hanover of to-day, also Douglas, and Pottsgrove and borough of Pottstown. In 1741 the domain was divided into the first three townships, which then contained only two hundred and forty-two taxables. The number of landowners was one hundred and thirteen. Henry Antes, among the sturdy band who first invaded this part of Montgomery county, came from Hanover, Germany, before 7726, settled in Philadelphia, then moved to this township. He was a useful man and very ingenious. He built the first gristmill at Bethlehem, in 7743. He died in this township in 1755. His son, Frederick Antes, was an iron founder, and cast the first four-pounder guns for the Revolutionary army. On account of the British, he removed to Northumberland county, where he became presiding judge, and in 1784 a member of the Assembly. His wife was the daughter of Governor Snyder. The population of the township has been as follows: In 1800 It was 1,505; in 1880 it was 1,905; in 1900 it was 1,611, and in 1920 placed at only 1,305. The first church was built about 1720, it being the Reformed church. New Hanover became a separate election district in 1827. In 1785, when the first county assessment was made, there were in this township four taverns, five gristmills, two sawmills, three tanneries, and one slave. In 1792 there were two hundred and sixty-one landowners. Of the churches and schools, separate general chapters in this work will treat, in common with all others in the county. It may here be said that it is claimed the first Lutheran congregation ever assembled In the United States was in this township about 1703. That the pioneers of this part of Montgomery county looked well to the care and comfort of those less fortunate in possessing worldly goods, the following Item is inserted in this as a perpetual record to be placed to their credit, so long as the printed page shall be in evidence: "The overseers of the poor are ordered, by a number of the inhabitants of New Hanover, to furnish Frantz Epple, with a linsey jacket, a pair of new trousers, a new shirt, a pair of new stockings, a pair of new shoes and a linsey underjacket. (Signed) John Richards, John Brooke, Benj. Markley, Cassimer Missimer, Andrew Smith. March 20. 1784 A. D." Other instances similar occur in the records down as late as 1807. The villages of New Hanover are Swamp (long the township seat), Fagleysville, New Hanover Square, and Pleasant Run. Fagleysville appears to have been settled very early. It is located on the turnpike, two miles south of New Hanover. It is mentioned by historian Schull as having an inn here in 1758, called "The Rose." Like most of the inland townships, the villages here are quite small and are not productive of many highly interesting events of later years, and but little does this generation care for the incidents of the long ago, before steam and electricity had invaded the haunts of busy men. http://history.rays-place.com/pa/mont-t3.htm ii.

PHILIP4 DODDERER (BERNARD3, GEORG PHILIP DUDDRA2, HANS1) was born Abt. 1729 in Hanover, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania, and died 1790 in Fishing Creek, Northumberland Co., Pennsylvania. He married JOHANNA GUISBERT, daughter of ANDREAS GUISBERT and JOHANNA. She was born 1730 in Hanover, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania, and died 1803 in Columbia County, Pennsylvania. Notes for PHILIP DODDERER: Phillip was a blacksmith. He was a resident of Newton, Sussex Co., New Jersey during the Rev. war [1776]. He was a sheriff in 1777. He served as Captain, 2nd Reg., Sussex Co., NJ militia, which was raised in 1780. He was under Col. Hankinson, according to the DAR Patriot Index, page 199. He moved back to Pennsylvania about 1778. He did not leave a will and his son, Abraham was appointed administrator in the records of Northumberland County, at Sunbury, PA. He left about 300 acres. According to the book, "Sussex and Warren Counties, New Jersey", Philip Dodderer was on the Sussex County Committee of Safety. The opening session was August, 10, 1775. They exercised a general supervision over the township organizations, provided means for promoting the popular cause, and procured the oath of abjuration to be administered to every citizen of the county, carefully noting down the names of those who refused, with the grounds upon which they based such refusal,and causing the recusants to be presented by the grand inquest of the county, to the end that they might appear in court and openly recant or give bonds for their peaceable behavior. Page 51. The Sussex County Committee of Safety held sessions at the courthouse in Newton on the 10th, and 11th days of August, 1775; General William Maxwell was chairman and Thomas Anderson was clerk. Three delegates from Sandyston were there, Samuel Westbrook, Abraham Brokaw and Henry Hover. Benj. J. Edsall's Centennial address is quoted in Snell on page 51. Emanuel Hover also attended the sessions. Joseph Gaston was paymaster to the Sussex militia during the Rev. War. Page 49 says: This large and respectable portion of New Jersey [Sussex and Warren Counties] was perhaps more exposed than any other to the savage allies of Great Britain during the struggle for independence, owing to its frontier situation along the Delaware River, which had been the theatre of attacks upon the infant settlements during the latter part of the colonial period. Here, however, had been nurtured a brave and hardy people, whose experience in savage warfare had rendered them familiar with military discipline and the use of arms. They were a people, moreover, who had inherited from their Huguenot, Dutch, Scotch-Irish, and Puritan ancestors a native love of liberty, and who were not without some training in the ideas and principles of self-government. He is found in the DAR Patriot Index on page 862 as Capt. CS PS, NJ First I [Janice Beever] searched in the DAR Patriot Index, Vol. I, and found p. 862 Philip DOTTERER/DUDDER/DUDDERAR/DUTROW, b. 1729 PA, d. 1790 PA. He was listed as having served in the Rev. War for the State of New Jersey - Capt., CS, PS (not sure what CS,PS mean). The Reference # was 875921712--the member # for Beverly Grace Fedder of Lycoming Chapter, PA - verified 16 Jul 1992 and microfiched 20 Jul 1992. At any rate, there was documentation for George Philip Duddra or Dodderer. She descends from Philip Dotterer through his daughter, Hannah. Stryker's Officers and Men of NJ in the Rev. War page 389 listed Philip as a Captain 2nd Reg. Sussex. I am new at this, but I understand that you can obtain application packet information from the DAR Hdqtrs there in Washington D.C. based upon her descent, then submit a separate application indicating which child you are descended from, in order to join the DAR. There exists a book, entitled Descendants of GEORGE PHILIP DUDDRA or DODDERER (Spelling their Names in some 35 Diverse Variations Throughout the United States), by Rev. Wm. B. Duttera, Ph.D., S.T.D. - Salisbury, North Carolina, 1934 (from title page). Beverly evidently included this info as part of her application. It was a book from the Library of Gettysburg College, Gettysburg PA. - Accession 48482 - Shelf - CS71.D978 1934. I will add some of this info to the File Cabinet section, as I have time to type it in. There is also a Writ of Partition of the Estate of Philip Dudder dec'd 3 June 1813, filed in Sunbury, Northumberland Co. PA which I will attempt to decipher. The handwriting is very "tight" and the copies are not all that good.

[3 disbound vols., 3 folders] Content Note This series includes three disbound State Auditor's ledgers containing accounts from the Revolutionary War period to as late as 1830. Cross-references between the first two volumes show that the ledgers are related, although they were mislabeled at some point. Book A is actually Ledger B and vice versa. This mislabeling has been retained because the volumes are cited with the incorrect titles in the Revolutionary War service cards and slips. Also included at the end of this series are two booklets of auditor's notes and two loose audited accounts. Below are general descriptions of each item followed by a detailed Contents list for Books A, B and C. Book A As mentioned above, this volume was originally referred to as Ledger B. It contains a variety of records, including: rosters of Revolutionary War soldiers (returns and "after-returns"); accounts of the State of New Jersey against the United States for soldier's pay, military supplies and services; and accounts of state treasurers, county sheriffs, receivers of Continental taxes, and Continental loan officers. The records date from the period 1776-1830, and most include only a notation of the year. They are listed below by account type (thereunder chronologically) and referencing the stamped page number. The returns and after-returns were gathered in compliance with "An Act for making compensation to the troops of this State, in the service of the United States, for the Depreciation of their pay" and were used to distribute depreciation notes (Acts of the Fifth General Assembly of the State of New Jersey, chap. 11, p. 32, 1781; for further information see the series: Department of Treasury/ State Treasurer's Office/ Accounts and Receipts for Payments on Revolutionary War Depreciation Notes). NOTE: The portions of this volume which document military service or contributions of services or supplies are indexed in the Revolutionary War service cards and slips. The remaining portions of the volumes are not.

JACOB4 DODDERER (BERNARD3, GEORG PHILIP DUDDRA2, HANS1) was born September 30, 1733 in New Hanover Twn., Phil. Co. now Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania, and died February 03, 1813 in Sussex County, Hardwick, New Jersey [Pahaquarry]. He married LYDIE DILDINE February 12, 1763 in Sussex Co., New Jersey, daughter of JOHANN DILDINE and ANNATJE LAFORCE. She was born November 30, 1730 in Sussex Co., New Jersey, and died August 25, 1811 in Sussex Co., New Jersey. Notes for JACOB DODDERER: Jacob married 'Lydie' the widow of Joseph Collins. She and Joseph already had a daughter, Elizabeth Collins. Jacob and his older brother Philip moved to New Jersey and they both fought in the Rev. War. Jacob is listed in the DAR Patriot Index on page 862 as a Pvt., Sussex NJ. His brother Isaac lived in NJ also. Stryker's Officers and Men of NJ in the Rev. War page580 lists a Jacob as Sussex and Abram in Sussex. He owned 1300 acres in New Jersey and was a private in the Sussex County Militia during the Rev. war. After the battle of Springfield, General Washington said in a letter that "if all Minute Men behaved as well as those from New Jersey he would need no Continentals." The reason for this encomium lay in the fact that the continuous service which New Jersey had had in the colonial wars had trained our whole population in arms and had given us able officers. We had been tried in the fire. The brotherhood of arms in the colonial wars had merged colonial distinctions into the one name of America. http://www.frontierguard.org/Publishing/NJFG4A01.html He had the misfortune of seeing most of his children die before he did. Jacob took great care to see that his grandchildren were taken care of. Especially Peter. Most of his children died young, I wonder why? His property was listed along with Caspar Shaffer's deed dated May 23, 1763 by the Trustees of the Pennsylvania Land Co. in London. Listed as Township of Hardwick Co. of Sussex, and Western Div. of the Province of New Jersey. Casper's deed is recorded on the Secretary's office in Birmingham on Book X of Deeds,vol. 316 sold Oct. 23 1761 to Caspar Shaffer. His land bordered Jacob Dotterer South 28 degrees West, 66 chains to a heap of stones; thence by land of Adam Kunekle etc. Jacob was an Executor for Peggy Vought along with Peter and Abraham Shaver in 1792. He also was a Fellowbondsmen and did the Inventory for Abraham Emans in 1975, along with Uriah Lane, his son-in-law and William Hankinson. The Stillwater Presbyterian Church was completed some time during 1771. According to records, on Jan. 10, 1783, the members of the Reformed Association of Hardwick signed articles of religious faith. Among the signers was George Wintermute, Casper Shafer, Philip Mann, William Savercool, Jacob Dotterer and many others. Several are relatives. (info from the book 'Sussex County, New Jersey', page 385. Hardwick Township was divided into road districts by the township committee, April 14, 1848, after Frelinghuyson was taken from Hardwick. Dist. 1 was John Shuster, Roadmaster. First from Marksboro bridge up to the road to Dudder's; second, from Dudder's bridge to the forks of the road by John Shuster.

The people of New Jersey always referred to Sussex County as the "Frontier" and to Pennsylvania as the Back Country. New Jersey means Nova Cesarea, named by the Duke of York when conveying the property to Lord Berkeley and Sir George Carteret. There were earthquakes in Nov. 1726, Sept. 5, 1732, Nov. 18, 1755. In Feb. 1741, there was a comet. In July 1764 there was a huge ball of fire seen in the northeast. In Oct. 1703 on the 10th, Michaelmas-day a great quantity of snow fell and laid on the ground 24 hours, something unusual then. In the same month a hurricane hit Maryland and Virginia. In 1704, there were severe snow storms, also in 1708. In 1715, they had a lot of locusts. When the army of the Revolution transferred their headquarters from Morristown to Newburg, their course lay through the villiage of Lafayette, and tradition relates that a detachment encamped near the Klackner bridge, that crosses the Paulinskill, for the night. Their horses were fed with hemp and hay intermixed with daisies, the seed of which was diseminated and later became so luxuriant in its growth as to make extermination a matter of great difficulty.

As late as 1874, it contained few houses around the milling complex. Although the village remains in existence, it is marked by only a few scattered houses of recent origin. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YEAR EVENT 1609 The area now known as Sussex Co., NJ was first explored by the Dutch 1640 The first settlerscame to the banks of the Delaware River. 1709 Provinces of New Jersey were divided and boundaries defind. Sussex Co. within the boundaries of Burlington. 1713 Hunterson County is divided off from Burlington included that part of Northern NJ which is now Morris, Passaic, Sussex and Warren Counties. 1738 Morris County was formed from Hunterdon and included that part which is is now Sussex and Warren Counties. 1753 Sussex County became a separate county and included all that which is now Sussex and Warren Counties. The county was divided into four (4) townships; Walpack, Newton, Hardwick and Greenwich. 1754 Wantage Township formed from Newton. Oxford and Mansfield-Woodhouse were set off from Greenwich. 1759 Montague was set off from Walpack. 1762 Sandyston Township was set off from Walpack and Hardyston was set off from Newton. 1764 Knowlton Township was set off from Oxford and Hampton set off from Newton. 1776 Start of the Revolutionary War. 1777-79 Indian raids on Montague and the Minisink Valley. 1782 Independence Township is set off from Hardwick. 1792 Vernon Township was set off from Hardyston. http://www.sussexcountyhistory.org/pascal/timeline.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The original settlers in Sussex County, NJ bought their land from the Minguas [Minsies] - Minisink, means lowland. The Hollanders who settled their were there before William Penn's charter. The Indians believed that this valley was once the bed of an extensive lake and that it broke through the mountians that contained it at the spot known as the Water Gap. Kingston was once called Esopus. That is where the Hollanders first landed and explored. The went west through the Mamakating Valley for about 50 miles. They found lead ore. Then copper traces. They began to build a road from the settlement at the lower point of Pahaquarry Flat to Esopus. 100 miles long. Some of the earliest settlers were the Dupuis, Ryersons, Westbrooks and Schoonermakers. The area was settled while Philadelphia was still a wilderness. [page 8]. Many of the next settlers were Huguenot-French origin, persecuted people because of their religion. The Gumaer, Cuddeback, Dekay, DILDINE, and Beviers were some of the Huguenot families. In 1664, New Jersey was sold to Lord Berkeley and Sir George Carteret. Philip Carteret, brother of Sir George became the first governor of NJ. In 1735, three brothers arrived, Greens. Soon came the McKees McMurtrees, Stewats, Hulls, Swayzes.....most Scotch-Irish Presbyterians. 1744 the Presbyterian Church was erected. James Campbell the Reverand and David Brainerd preached in this church. *The Historical Directory of Sussex County, New Jersey by Edward A. Webb ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ An Old Letter Added by schnewsltr on 22 Sep 2009 Extract of letter from Miss Meckie Dodder, dated Iowa City, IA, Setp 14, 1897 "I wish you could look over the old papers my cousin, Mrs. Lanterman, has. She lives in Hackettstown, NJ.... The papers belonged to my great grandfather Jacob Dodderer and were kept in an old box said to have come from "the old country." There are pictures of old houses and windmills on it, painted in oil, but very much faded. If it came from the old country and belonged on the Dodderer side, it must have belonged to George Philip Dodderer..... In this box he (Jacob Dodderer) always kept his private papers. During the Revolutionary War, while he was in the service, his family placed their money in this box and buried it. This was when news came that the Tories were marching toward their home. _______________________________________ Notes for LYDIE DILDINE: Her first husband Joseph Collins and her were married 12 years when he died in 1761. Their only known child, was Elizabeth who was about 11 when her father died. Elizabeth married William Sobakiehl [Savacool] and her first born son was named after her stepfather Jacob and his baptism witnessed by him. Her second child was named Joseph for her father. Lydie may have had a nickname of Helena. Lydie was 32 when she married Jacob Dodderer on Feb. 12, 1763. Her husband Jacob was one of the first to settle on the Paulinskill. The river ran right through his property. He owned 1300 acres in New Jersey. Andover Furnace is just to the east. The Paulinskill River pretty much runs along the Hwy 521. Jacob was 80 when he died in 1813 and she died in 1811 age 81. Her birth and death information is taken from her tombstone. Her first daughter Elizabeth was born when she was 31 [1761] and married to Joseph Collins, and Lydie was 35 when she had Jacob [1765]; at age 37 [1767] when she had Catherine and 39 when she had Anna [1769]; 41 when she had Henry [1771]and 42 when she had Abraham [1772]. The Rev. War began with the battle of Lexington in 1775 and ended in 1783. Imagine raising these children while that was going on. Jacob and his older brother Phillip were in the militia and involved in the war. He had the misfortune of seeing most of his children die before he did. Jacob took great care to see that his grandchildren were taken care of. Especially Peter. Most of his children died young, I wonder why? Lydia- Lenaetje Dildine was baptized March 31, 1731 at the Harlingen Dutch Reformed Church, Montgomery Twn., Somerset County, New Jersey, daughter of Jurge Dildeijn and Annaetje LeFooij. Lydie's baptizm was witness by Lena Reddix [Rederick, dau of Andreas and his wife Anna Gertrude Kutscher or Koetcher meaning coachman] and her husband Christiaen Hersel. The Dildines were early settlers to Sussex County. They were French Huguenots. Driven from France in 1685 by the revocation of the Edict of Nantz. After 1763, Stillwater and Green and then Hardwick was established. In 1750 Henry Hairlocker settled near the present site of Newton. His cabin was built where Major John R. Pettit's dwelling recently stood. *Edward A. Webb -book- The Historical Directory of Sussex County, New Jersey -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sussex County was formed out of Morris County in 1753. In 1824 Warren county was formed from its southern part. It is 27 miles long and 21 broad. It is bounded on the north by Orange County, NY and on the west by the Delaware River. The Blue mountains run through the western part and the Wawayanda and Hamburg mountains are in the NE. part of the county. It is one of the best agricultural areas of the state and Iron, zinc and marble and many rare minerals exist in the county. 1755 was the French and Indian War. The Iroquois or Six Nations of New York, the and the hereditary enemies of the Delaware and Susquehanna Indians, were the firm allies of the English. The French dominated the waterways. On November 11, 1755, Governor Jonathan Belcher sent to Col. Van Campen the following instructions: "Sirs, I just now received your good letter of the 7th inst., as I hope you have before now my order of the 6th of the same month. I will approve of what you propose, of marching with your regiment into the next Province in order to meet and repel the enemy before they enter into the Jerseys. In this matter I desire you to be very vigilent and dilligent in giving me notice of all your proceedings, and per express if necessary. I am, Sir, Your Assured Friend, J. Belcher. Four block houses for defense, were built along the Delaware River in Sussex County after permission was granted on Dec., 27th of 1755. 250 men were to garrison them. In 1750, Dr. Thomas Walker, of the Loyal Land Company, discovered Cumberland Gap [April 13] found the Cumberland River [April 17] and preceded as far as Barbourville, Kentucky. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Jersey was the spot where Patriots, Tories, British and Hessians maneuvered; where Trenton, Princeton and Monmouth witnessed dramatic American victories; and where the Continental Army endured the hardest winter of the century. It was at Nassau Hall at Princeton University that the Continental Congress convened in 1783. And it was in New Jersey that General George Washington delivered his farewell orders to the Continental Army. The fall of Fort Lee in November began Washington's retreat across New Jersey, through Newark, New Brunswick, Trenton, and finally across the Delaware River into Pennsylvania on December 8, 1776. Seventeen days later, on Christmas night, 2,400 men accompanied the great General back across an ice-choked river, marched nine miles, and achieved surprise against a garrison of Hessian troops at Trenton during the desperate counter attack. The victorious army returned to Pennsylvania until December 30 when they crossed again Richard Simon, Trustee and Vice President of the Washington Association of New Jersey, said, "General Washington was astride his horse, surrounded by his senior officers, holding a council of war at Kingston, New Jersey, a few miles east of Princeton on the afternoon of January 3, 1777. His army had decisively defeated two British contingents at Princeton earlier in the day. The afternoon before, he had repulsed an attack by Lord Cornwallis at the so-called Second Battle of Trenton, where the American troops were encamped on the south bank of the Assinpunk Creek. Cornwallis had planned to renew his attack the next day, allegedly stating 'we'll bag the old fox in the morning.' But Washington pulled his troops out at midnight, making a secret march up to Princeton. "Now, Washington had to decide where to take his army next. It was tempting to proceed on to New Brunswick and attack a relatively small contingent of British soldiers stationed there. They were guarding their prize captive, General Charles Lee, ammunition, and £70,000 in specie (a commodity in short supply in the Revolutionary Army). One can't help imagining, however, that Washington pulled out his watch and calculated that his troops needed a rest, having fought two battles and without sleep and provisions for nearly 36 hours. He also knew that an outwitted and revengeful Cornwallis was on his way up from Trenton in hot pursuit. Contemplating his three recent successes, which included the overwhelming defeat of the Hessians at Trenton on December 26, we can imagine Washington saying to himself in the vernacular, 'I rolled the dice thrice and won; I think I'll quit while I'm ahead.' The decision was thus made to end the campaign, and head immediately for a winter encampment at Morristown, a strategic and naturally protected location. "Late that afternoon, the Americans marched to Somerset Courthouse (today's Millstone) and camped. The next day they proceeded to Pluckemin where the troops rested the nights of January 4 and 5. On Monday, January 6, Washington and his troops marched triumphantly into Morristown, where the General took up his headquarters at Jacob Arnold's Tavern overlooking the Green. Washington's 'first coming' to Morristown lasted until early May of that year." Washington's army had yet to endure the legendary adversity the following winter at Valley Forge, and again at Morristown two years later in 1779-80, when the Jockey Hollow encampment made Morristown the third largest city in the Colonies. During this second winter at Morristown, General Washington lived and made his headquarters in a relatively new two-story house on the outskirts of town built by Jacob Ford, Jr. The struggles at Jockey Hollow to keep the Continental Army intact, as crucial for American independence as any other, were waged more in hearts and minds than on the battlefield. But it was, by then, an army and a General well-steeled by the first American crisis in 1776-77.

New Jersey Marriages, 1684-1895 Name Spouse Marriage Date County State DODDERER, PETER STRUBLE, ELIZABETH 20 Aug 1825 Sussex NJ HUNT, THOMAS DODDERER, CATHERINE 31 Dec 1795 Sussex NJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Brief History In 1713, the West Jersey Council of Proprietors purchased all of the land above the Falls of the Delaware (Trenton) from the Native Americans, thereby opening the northwestern portion of the colony to settlement. In 1715, Thomas Stevenson and John Reading, Jr., surveyed the land that is now Warren County and found within the hills and valleys established Native American foot trails and settlements. Working independently of each other, the surveyors followed the beds of rivers and creeks, noting mineral deposits and potential water power sites that would draw investors and foster the establishment of villages. From 1713 to 1738, Warren County was part of Hunterdon County. From 1738 to 1753, it was part of Morris County; and then, until its formation in 1824, it was part of Sussex County. Only Greenwich and Hardwick Townships existed prior to 1754, when Oxford and Mansfield-Woodhouse were established. Warren County's earliest settlements were in Greenwich, Oxford Furnace, and Pahaquarry. Greenwich, situated at the confluence of the Delaware and Musconetcong Rivers, was the gateway for the northward migration of Quaker, German, and Scots-Irish settlers landing at Philadelphia. By 1738, Greenwich had a sufficient population of freeholders to be polled to elect Hunterdon County's representatives to the General Assembly. Oxford Furnace's first pioneers arrived in 1726, but real growth followed the building of the furnace in 1741. Furnace communities were magnets for skilled and unskilled laborers, farmers, mechanics, and businessmen; and Oxford became the County's first hub of commercial activity and population growth. In 1732, Abraham Van Campen built a mill in what became the tiny village of Calno, the southernmost settlement in a chain of Dutch villages extending down the Minisink Valley from Esopus (now Kingston), New York. http://www.co.warren.nj.us/enviro/historic.html 89. iv.

ANNA ELIZABETH4 ZIMMERMAN (ANNA ELIZABETH3 DODDERER, GEORG PHILIP DUDDRA2, HANS1) was born 1736 in Pennsylvania, and died Aft. 1790 in Lincoln Co. Catawba, NC. She married JOHANIS YOUNT 1751 in North Carolina/Or PA?, son of HANS YOUNT and ANNA DODDERER. He was born April 23, 1721 in Neiderbronn, Alsace-Lorraine, France, and died January 25, 1790 in Lincoln Co., North Carolina. Notes for ANNA ELIZABETH ZIMMERMAN: 1762 - Anna Elizabeth and John Yund received 16 pounds, 13 shillings and four pence in legacy from her grandfather, George Philip Dodderer. He had died in 1741. His son Conrad distributed the legacies as the settlement of the estate after the death of the grandmother, Veronica in 1751. These legal matters were in keeping with the provisions of Georg Philip's will. Anna Elizabeth's name was written ANLISABET JUNDIN. The surname translates to Jundt with the German feminine ending of IN. She signed her mark on the official quit claim but John wrote his own signature. Notes for JOHANIS YOUNT: 3. Johannes (John) JUNDT (1) was born on 23 Apr 1721 in Neiderbronn, Alsace-Lorraine, France. He died bet 25 Jan/Apr 1790 in Lincoln (Catawba) Co., North Carolina. He was buried in Yount plantation, Lincoln Co. [Catawba], NC. John Yount was born in Neiderbronn, France, the youngest son of Hans George and Anna Maria Jundt and came with them on the Brittania, landing at Philadelphia on 21 September 1731. He spent his early years in Colebrookdale, Berks County, Pennsylvania on the land taken up by his father. Family legend has it that John and his wife Anna Elizabeth Zimmerman, whom he had married around 1750-51 had emigrated to Lincoln County, North Carolina and were among the first settlers to homestead that land. It is told that they returned to Pennsylvania in 1759. The first birthdate of which a record has been found was that of John Henry on 24 Dec 1759, recorded in Northampton County, PA. Many other records have been found of John Yount and Anna Elizabeth in Northampton County. 1765 - John's name is found on church documents for the Jordan Lutheran church in Upper Milford Township of present day Lehigh County (formerly Northampton). 1781 - His name appears on the list of taxables in Upper Milford Township, showing his ownership of 333 acres valued at 150 pounds and assessed at ?. 1783 - A "Draught of a tract of land" was made of land which he had bought from Michael Zimmerman Jr. and George Zimmerman, which they had acquired by patent in 1751. (We know this is not John's father-in-law, Michael Zimmerman since he had died in 1741.) 1784 - It is unclear whether John bought two separate pieces of land from Michael and George or whether the sale on 4 December 1784 was the final action on the previous parcel which was described as "Situate the greatest part thereof in Upper Milford Township in the County of Northampton and the remainder in Upper Hanover Township in the County of Philadelphia, in the state of Pennsylvania." (Huggins, p. 36) "On December 4, 1784 John Yundt bought 255 acres of land in Lehigh County for ?, the estate of Michael Zimmerman, Jr., late of North Carolina and George Zimmerman, of Turkey Hundred, Maryland. 1787 - On August 16, 1787 John Yund and wife Elizabeth sold out to John Roder for ?." 1787 - John and Anna Elizabeth and their family had moved to North Carolina. It is known that Henry and George were also in North Carolina and probably the four younger children may have accompanied them. Susanna was 23 years of age, Anna was 18, Sally Sarah/Salome) was 16 and Andrew was 13 according to their birthdates as recorded by Mrs. Huggins. He made a will in 1790 giving Henry, Geo., and Andrew the 570 acre farm in Lincoln County, other various tracts of land, etc. He was married to Anna Elizabeth ZIMMERMAN (daughter of Michael ZIMMERMAN and Anna Elizabeth DODDERER) in 1751 in Pennsylvania. Anna Elizabeth ZIMMERMAN was born in 1736 in Pennsylvania. She died after 1790 in Lincoln (Catawba) Co., North Carolina. She was buried in Yount plantation, Lincoln Co. [Catawba], NC.

Dudderar of Unionville, Frederick County, Maryland, that he came there when 20 years of age [being about 1758] having married against his father's wishes, [Conrad Sr.], that he borrowed 50 pounds, English money from one of his father's brothers [probably Michael] to start on.

" ... in the neighborhood of the present cities of Gorkum, Heusden and s’Hertogenbosch or Bois-le-duc (Holland), we find the earliest traces of the family Pannebakker. The name means, in the Dutch language, a maker of tiles. Van Heurn says, in his "History of s’Hertogenbosch,"; published in 1776: "Formerly there was here a thick clay soil which underlay the thin surface. The clay out of it was used for the baking of bricks, tiles, and the making of clay walls," or in the Dutch, which shows the origin of the name, "Hier uit word de leem, tot het bakken van Steenen, pannen, en het maken der leeme wanden gehaald." Some family branches maintain "... that the family name originally was BIERMAN, that it was changed to the name of the occupation of their Belgian ancestor who was a tile-maker, which in the language of Holland is PANNENBAKKER."

From The Decendants (sent to my by Bessie Yadon) Jacob Pennybaker (Pannebacker), father of Mary Susannah Pennybaker, who married Joseph Preston Yadon, was born 4 Mar 1724 (1). No records of his early life has been found at this time. It is known that his wife was name Christina* [Dotterer] and that he was a soldier in the American Revolution by the following court order from the Berkley County, Virgina, records. "17 Nov 1779, the court ordered that Christina Pennybaker, wife of Jacob Pennybaker, a soldier in the Continental Service, be allowed 40 pounds for her support for the present year." (2) Following his service in the Revolution, Jacob Pennybaker bought land in Martinsburg, Virginia. 21 Mar 1780, he paid Adam Stephens, the founder of Martinsburg, ten shillings for Lot 12, between Bock Street and Queen Street. (3) 13 March 1784, Jacob and Christina Pennybaker sold one-third of Lot 12 to Joseph Yadon (4) their daughter Mary in 1782. 22 February 1785, Jacob gave his son, William Pennybaker one-third of Lot 12 (5). Later in 1785, Jacob sold the remaining one-third of Lot to Peter Snider, who had married his daughter, Elizabeth Pennybaker (6). Jackob Pennybaker was in St Johns's Evangelical Lutheran Church and made offerings there in 1786 and 1787 (7). Jacob Pennybaker died in 1799 (8). References: 1. A letter from Rev Ronald I Fisher, Paster of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, corner of Queen Martin Sreets, Martinsburg, West Virginia, dated 8 Mar 19974, states that a Parish Register shows this birth record for Jacob Pfannebekker.

Posted by Anita McNamer Struble, 6 Aug 1999 __________________________________________________________ The Revolutionary history of this vicinity is very interesting, and to it a brief reference will be made. The battle of Brandywine was fought September 11, 1777, and resulted disastrously to the Americans. On the 23rd Washington arrived near the present Pottstown, while the day before the British crossed below Valley Forge to this side of the Schuylkill, proceeding leisurely on their march to Philadelphia. The American army came from near Pottsgrove into this township on the afternoon of September 26th, and encamped on the hills of both sides of the Perkiomen. Washington made his headquarters at the house of Henry Keely, about three-quarters of a mile southwest of Pennypacker's Mill, using, however, "Camp Perkioming," as well as the latter name, in his orders to designate the vicinity. http://history.rays-place.com/pa/mont-t3.htm Children of CHRISTIANA DODDERER and JACOB PENNEBACKER are: i.

Notes for CONRAD PENNEBECKER: Lynette Clay - Jul 8, 2003 Categories: Joseph Preston Yadon Decendants Jhttp://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bakhelvy/stories.htm I was searching around for new info and came across someone's family web site (the link above, I hope it works) and this was at the bottom of the page about Joseph Preston Yadon. I hope it was OK to copy it to share. It would explain why he couldn't get back to Ireland to claim his inheritance. I had always thought he traveled to Canada but missed the ship to Ireland. Has anyone heard of this story below?: Joseph Preston Yadon (Patriot or Traitor?) was born in County Down in Ireland. When he was 12 someone in his family died, and it upset him so much he ran away from home. Later, he came by boat to the new American Colonies and fought with General Burgoyne in the Revolutionary War on the side of the British. He was only 18 years old when he played the drum in the fife and drum corps under General Burgoyne. When General Burgoyne's troops were captured, so was Joseph Yadon. The conditions in the prisons at that time were horrible. The prisoners were given very little food. Some died of diseases or starved to death. Joseph was young and wanted to live. When the independent Americans told the prisoners they could be free if they changed sides and fought for the Americans, Joseph did. Now he was a drum major for the Americans. His friend, by the name of Pennybaker, played a fife. Even though Conrad died, Joseph Yadon got to be friends with the Pennybaker family. [I hope I don't have this story wrong. I can't find Conrad in my database. However there are so many spellings of Pennybaker, I may have just missed it. If you can straighten me out, please do.] Conrad had a pretty red-headed sister that Joseph married and settled down with after the war. He lived in Tennessee in his later life. He actually inherited a large fortune in Ireland, but couldn't go back to get it because he would have been hanged for being a traitor to the British cause. In America, he is honored because of his service to his country during the Revolution. There is a book about him and his descendants.

Notes for THOMAS FREDERICK DUKEHART: He was a merchant marine. He joined the flotilla of 26 small gunboats and barges under Commodore Joshua Barney for the defense of the Chesapeake Bay. In April, 1814 the small fleet was placed in service and in May sailed down the Chesapeake, where they encountered the vastly superior squadron of British men-of-war and were forced to seek refuge in Patuxent River, where there were blockaded by the British fleet. On the 21st of August, Commodore Barney learned that the British had landed an Army from their ships at Benedict on the Patuxent for the purpose of attacking Washington. He immediately landed with 400 men, marching through Upper Marlborough to the Washington Navy Yard. Learning that the British were advancing toward Washington by way of Bladensburg, he joined the Maryland and Virginia Militia to give battle at that place and was credited with being the mainstay of the defense. The Commodore was severly wounded and fell into Captain Dukeharts's arms, and it was he who handed Barney's sword to the British officer who captured them. Captain Thomas Dukehart was marched as a prisoner through stubble fields of Prince George's County in his bare feet. Later after being paroled and after the Battle of North Point, he was assisting the Committee of Safety in burying the dead and the first man he buried was the British officer who had treated him brutally when a prisoner. At the close of the war, Captain Dukehart returned to the Merchant Marine, being one of the most successful navigators of the celebrated Baltimore Clipper Ships. 137. iv. SOPHIA R. DUKEHART, b.

JOHN5 YOST (VERONICA4 DOTTERER, HIERONIMUS "JEROME" DOTTERER3 DODDERER, GEORG PHILIP DUDDRA2, HANS1) was born April 09, 1747 in Limerick Twn, Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania, and died July 13, 1819 in Pottsgrove Twn., Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania. He married ANNA MARIA SEWELL, daughter of VALENTINE SEIBEL and CATHERINE. She died September 1822. Notes for JOHN YOST: The burial of John Yost of Pottsgrove on 15 July 1819 by the Reverend Frederick Herman is recorded in Hinke’s translation of the records of Falkner Swamp Reformed Church, p 218. In the same list, p 217, is recorded the burial by Reverend Herman of "Mrs. Seibel at John Yost’s near Pottsgrove" on 29 may 1817. Mrs. Seibel was undoubtedly the mother of his second wife, Anna Maria. ------------------------------------------------------------------- While Philip Yost’s Revolutionary War service has been well publicized, it is probable that his brothers John and Herman served as well. A return of classes of Captain John Missimer’s company, dated 1 June 1780 at Limerick lists Phillip Youst among the second class and John Youst among the eighth class. (PA: 6: 1: 770,771). A general return of the first, second, third and fourth classes of the Fourth Battalion, Philadelphia County Militia, commanded by Lt. Col. Anthony Bitting, Esq., called into actual service in October 1781, lists Philip Yost among the second class of Capt. John Missimer’s Company. (PA: 6: 1: 776). Undated returns of the Fourth Battalion of Philadelphia Couty militia lists Philip Yost among the second class and John Yost among the eighth class of the Second Company commanded by Capt. John Missimer. (PA: 6: 1: 787, 789). Philip Yost is included on "A true and exact list of the names and surnames of each and every male white person inhabiting or residing within the First Company District being part of New Hanover Township between the ages of eighteen and fifty-three excepting those that are by law exempted, belonging to the Fourth Batallion of Montgomery County Militia commanded by Lt. Col. Richards returned this Twenty-Ninth Day of January 1787." (PA: 6: 3: 672). John Yost is not listed in Montgomery County tax returns until 1780 when he was assessed L16.17.6 for effective supplies on a valuation of L750.0.0. (PA: 3: 15: 515). Since he was 33 years old that year, it is possible that he had been living with his parents previously or that he had been residing in another county. In 1780, his brother Harman Yost is listed as an inmate at Coventry in the list of taxables of Chester County. He was listed there in 1779 and 1781 as well. (PA: 3: 12: 211, 345, 495). In 1786, Herman Youst is listed in the State tax transcript with 300 acres in Catawissa Township, Northumberland County (now Columbia County) which he received on a warrant from the state, probably for service in the Revolutionary War. He remained in Columbia County the rest of his life (PA: 3: 19: 652 and PA: 3: 25: 356). In 1781, John Yost was listed in New Hanover Township as a laborer and assessed L1.2.0 for effective supplies on a valuation of L86.0.0. (PA: 3: 16: 7). His brother Philip is listed for the first time that year, as a single man. In 1782, John Yost was assessed L0.10.8 for effective supplies on a valuation of L85.0.0. (PA: 3: 16: 261). His brother Philip is listed as a single man. In 1783, John Yost was assessed for federal supply tax on four horses, four horned cattle and seven sheep. (PA: 3: 16: 626). His brother Philip was assessed on one horned cow. Neither apparently owned any land since their father was assessed on 170 acres, one horse, two horned cattle and five sheep. On 9 July 1785, a carpenter named John Yost purchased 214-3/4 acres of land in Londonderry Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, part of an original tract of 251-3/4 acres called "Springhill" for L775.0.0 from David Kincaid. In the 1790 Census of Pennsylvania, p 67, John Yoast of Londonderry Township is listed with three free white males over age 16, three free white males under age 16, and five free white females. For several reasons, one could deduce that this is the same John Yost who is the subject of this chapter. First, there are only two John Yosts listed in Montgomery County in the 1790 Census, both on p 167. One of these is listed with two free white males over age 16 and one free white female. The other is listed as John Yost, Jr. with one free white male over age 16, three free white males under age 16, and two free white females. There were two John Yosts (father and son) living in Frederick Township at this time and it is likely that these listings are for them. Or possibly, John Yost of New Hanover Township and his family was living with his father Philip who is listed on the same page with his son Philip Jr. (p 162). On 7 June 1796, John Yost, yeoman, and his wife Mary, "residents of Montgomery County" sold 54 acres, 113 perches of the land purchased in 1785 to Andrew Ortlip, tanner and currier, for l373.0.0. And on 26 August 1800, John Yost, yeoman, and his wife Mary, "residents of New Hanover Township, Montgomery County" sold part of this land to Job Pyle for L470.0.0. (See Chester County Deed book Z, vol 24, pp 452-454). Since there is no evidence of two John Yosts in New Hanover Township at this date, and since the wives of the two John Yosts in Frederick Township were named Maria Elizabeth and Benigna, there is some logic to the theory expressed above. On the other hand, the number of persons in his household in 1790 and their ages don’t jibe. Clearly, more evidence is needed! The Executive Minutes of Governor Thomas Mifflin dated Friday 15 February 1799 state: "A Bond executed by Thomas Brooke, Israel Ortliep, John Yost, Isaac Shantz, Henry Messimer, John Lightner, Jacob Messimer, Adam Brandt and Francis Bigony, all of New Hanover Township, in the County of Montgomery, as Commissioners for raising by way of lottery a sum not exceeding five hundred dollars to be by them applied to the defraying the expense of erecting a school house in the said township, in the sum of five thousand dollars, conditioned for the faithful discharge of that trust according to law -- was presented to the Governor, together with a scheme of the said lottery: Thereupon the said Bond and Scheme received the approbation of the Governor." (PA: 9: 2: 1488). In the 1800 Census of Pennsylvania, there is a John Yost listed in New Hanover Township with the following persons in the household: age males females 45 and up - - 26 to 45 - 1 16 to 25 1 - 10 to 16 - 2 0 to 10 1 3 John Yost was 53 years old in 1800 and his wife was 34. Since there are no males listed over age 45, it is possible that the census-taker failed to record him or incorrectly recorded his age. (See National Archives Microcopy M-32, Roll 41, p 733.) In the 1810 Census of Pennsylvania, John Yost is listed in Pottsgrove Township with the following persons in the household: age males females 45 and up 1 - 26 to 45 - 1 16 to 25 - 1 10 to 16 1 1 0 to 10 1 1 In addition, there is "another free person" in the household, perhaps a maid or hired hand. (See National Archives Microcopy M-252, Roll 52, p 1199). The Executive Minutes of Governor Simon Snyder dated Friday, 22 February 1811 show that Philip and John Yost each subscribed to two shares of stock in a company organized to build "an artificial road from the east end of Perkiomen Bridge, in the County of Montgomery, passing through Pottsgrove, and by the Whitehorse tavern in Amity Township, to the Borough of Reading in Berks County." (PA: 9: 4: 2942). The will of John Yost of Pottsgrove Township was signed 3 July 1819 and proved 30 August 1819. (Montgomery County RW 7505, OC 21092). He says that the mother of his present wife Mary was named Catherine Seibel and names the following children: Rachel, Sarah, John, Jacob, Henry, Philip and Samuel. Polly, Betsey and Catherine were not named. The will is witnessed by Philip Yost (probably his brother). In the 1820 Census of Pennsylvania, there is a Mary Yost, probably John’s widow, listed in Pottsgrove Township with the following persons in the household: age males females 45 and up - 1 26 to 45 - - 16 to 25 2 2 There are no younger persons in the household. One person is listed as "engaged in agriculture." (See National Archives Microcopy M-33, Roll 100, p 115.) According to a biography of Jacob S. Yost in the "History of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania" by Theodore Weber Bean, John Yost’s children were (not necessarily in the correct order): Henry Yost Philip Yost Samuel Yost Polly Yost d. before 3 July 1819 ? Betsey Yost d. before 3 July 1819 ? Known children by his second wife, Anna Maria Seibel: Catherine Yost d. before 3 July 1819 ? Rachel Yost b. 21 December 1796 m.

Yost = Ann M. Childe = Mary A. Harrington Sarah Yost Notes for ANNA MARIA SEWELL: He married, second, Anna Maria Seibel (or Senewell or Siewel), 25 July 1793, at Falkner Swamp Reformed church. The marriage of "John Jost, widower and Maria, dau. Of Valentine Seipel (sic)" is recorded in the list of marriages by Reverend Frederick Dällicker in Hinke’s translation of the church records of the Falkner Swamp Reformed Church, p 218. These marriage records have also been published in Pennsylvania Archives, 2nd series, v 8, Record of Pennsylvania Marriages Prior to 1810, vol 1, pp 607-608, where the date is given as 23 July 1793 for Johannes Jost and Maria Seipel. This discrepancy should be resolved by checking the original records. She died 26 (or 3?) September 1822, age 56, at _________ and is buried beside her husband in the Reformed and Lutheran Union Churchyard at Pottstown. The source for the dates of the deaths of John and Anna Maria (Seibel) Yost is the biography of their son Jacob S.

At the Battle of Germantwon he went upstairs in a house as he was wounded; a woman said that British were coming; he said, "Let the devils come," and he took a large stick from the fireplace and drove them back." After marrying Fronica, they lived in Claytonville, but later bought a large farm in Frederick at what is now Delphi, or Zieglerville Station. He built a tannery there and carried on farming and tanning until 1808, when he gave this place to his son, John. (Info from THE STRASSBURGER GENEALOGY on page 296.)

Benjamin Corssen (b. 1686), Hendrick Vroom (b. 1683), Samuel Corson (b.c.1686), and the progenitors of surname Divisions II, IV, and VII were not related to each other (in the direct male line) in a genealogical timeframe. Based on the estimated ancestral haplotypes of these six ancestors, I used Dean McGee's Y-DNA Comparison Utility to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the number of generations to the most recent common ancestor of each pair. Multiplying the interval by a mean generation length of 25 years gave an estimate of the number of years to the birth of each common ancestor: Ancestor Div. I Div. II Corssen Div. III? Vroom Div. III? Div. IV Div. VII Samuel Corson (c.1686-1764) (Div. I) 4950-10400 5700-11950 1225-3450 1100-3225 875-2750 Jan Corszen (c.1649-1703) (Div. II) 4950-10400 2850-6425 4300-9150 4625-9750 4025-8625 Benjamin Corssen (1686-1740) (Div. III?) 5700-11950 2850-6425 5300-11125 5300-11125 5700-11950 Hendrick Vroom (1683-1769) (Div. III?) 1225-3450 4300-9150 5300-11125 975-2975 875-2750 Carsten Jansen (1634-c.1697) (Div. IV) 1100-3225 4625-9750 5300-11125 975-2975 875-2750 Jacob Corson (c.1755-bef.1822) (Div. VII) 875-2750 4025-8625 5700-11950 875-2750 875-2750 (Infinite allele mutation model, mean mutation rate: 0.0024, mean generation length: 25 years) The table shows that the closest male-line relationship among these pairs may have existed between Jacob Corson (b. c.1755) and three of these ancestors, with no less than 875 years back to each pair's common ancestor. Also, both Benjamin Corssen (b. 1686) and Hendrick Vroom (b. 1683) are documented as grandsons of the Division III progenitor, Cors Pieterszen (1612-1655). However, the haplotypes that represent them come from two different haplogroups (R1b and I1b2a), as shown by the greater than 5000-year period back to their most recent common male-line ancestor. Thus, at least one of the two haplotypes does not represent Cors Pieterszen. 2. William Corson, Sr. (bef. 1765 - aft. 1823), parents unknown, descended from Corson Division IV. The genetic signature for participant #6, a descendant of William Corson, Sr., matches the ancestral genetic signature estimated for Division IV Corsons. Thus, he now knows to look for documentary evidence about descendants of their common ancestor to find the parents of William Corson, Sr. 3. Participant #16 comes from a Colson line unrelated (in a genealogical timeframe) to Division I Colsons. Based on a genetic distance of 16, the most recent common ancestor to participant #16 and Division I Colsons lived no more recently than about 60 generations ago (95% confidence interval, assuming a marker mutation rate of 0.003). Statistics source: Y-DNA Comparison Utility (an excellent tool!) 4. Daniel Corson (1763-1849), parents unknown, who migrated from Sussex Co., NJ to Ontario, Canada, descended from the same family as Division III Corssens. The genetic signature for participant #34, a descendant of Daniel Corson, matches the ancestral genetic signature estimated for descendants of Benjamin Corssen (1686-1740). Thus, he now knows to look for documentary evidence about Benjamin Corssen or his male-line relatives to find the parents of Daniel Corson.

Census of 1790 they lived at Muncy then went to Fishing Creek, 1786, Columbia County where his father followed 2 years later. _______________________________________________________________________ I found this little bit on a family member-: The second family to enter this township appeared in 1786. Abram Dodder, from Muncy, having bought the confiscated lands of Mr. Bartman, a tory, with "scrip" at six cents per acre, remover thither and located on Huntington creek at the mouth of Pine creek. His father come two years later and settled near his son; he died in 1790, and was buried in the Dodder cemetery near Jonestown. So far as know this was the first death and burial of a white person in this section. .............. The establishing of the first churches in this section was contemporary with the appearance of the different denominations in other parts of the country. The first services of a religious character were conducted by John and Christopher Bowman. Methodist Episcopal clergymen from Briarcreek. These services were held at the house of Abram Dodder, but the time at which they began cannot be definitely determined. In 1812 the names of seven of his family appear on a list of the membership of the Southold Huntington church. Preaching was continued at Dodder's until school-houses were built. http://www.rootsweb.com/~pacolumb/fishhis.htm Children of ABRAHAM DODDERER and ELEANOR HARRIOT are: i. DANAH6 DODDERER. ii.

The original building was constructed so that it would face a center green. The land for this building and green were located on land that was donated by Jonathan Hampton for the sole purpose of providing a location for a County court facility. As local history is recorded, the original two story building was constructed of local field stone. The first building served the residents of Sussex County until January 28, 1847 when it was consumed by fire. Only the stone walls remained after the fire. One month later, the Board of Chosen Freeholders decided to rebuild the structure. The contract for building the new Courthouse was awarded and construction was completed in just over a year, opening on May 1, 1848. http://www.sussex.nj.us/Cit-e-Access/news/index.cfm?NID=12555&TID=7&jump2=0 Notes for SARAH HELENA DILDINE: The County of Warren was separated from Sussex County by an act of the Legislature on November 20, 1824. It was named for Dr. Joseph Warren, a Revolutionary War hero who fell in the Battle of Bunker Hill. The seat of justice for the new County was permanently established in Belvidere on April 20, 1825. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 52. Old Mine Road Historic District, SR 10/2/75, NR 12/3/80. The Old Mine Road ran from Esopus (now Kingston), New York, down through New Jersey's Minisink Valley, crossing through the modern-day townships of Montague, in Sussex County, and Pahaquarry (now part of Hardwick), in Warren County. Located on a natural shelf of land between the Kittatinny Mountains and the Delaware River, it was probably an old Indian foot trail. In the early 1700s, pioneers gradually widened the trial for wagons; but there was no settlement of any size in the area until much later in the century, around the time of the Revolution. Recent historical research has disproven the long-standing legend that the Old Mine Road was used in the 1600s by the Dutch to travel from Esopus to copper mines at Pahaquarry and that this was therefore the oldest commercial highway in America. This legend has its source in the early 1800s, but historians have shown that Dutch mining technology and transportation in the 1600s were not adequate to work the Pahaquarry mines. Some mining was attempted in the 1750s but it was not profitable and quickly failed. In 1906, another attempt to work the mines failed. Miners' cabins from that time now are used by the Boy Scouts at Camp Weygandt (located in Knowlton Township). A recent book by Herb Kraft, The Dutch, The Indians, and the Quest for Copper, explores the Old Mine Road legend. The original route criss-crosses the route marked 'Old Mine Road' on current maps. http://www.co.warren.nj.us/enviro/historic.html Child of JACOB DODDER and SARAH DILDINE is: 191. i.

David preached to the Indians in New Jersey. Stillwater was formed from Hardwick, Warren Co., in 1824. It is hilly, and the Blue Mountain runs on the NW boundary. It is on the Paulinskill. Hardwick was at one time the seat of justice for Sussex Co., and was known as "the Log Jail." The county seat was moved to Newton in 1765. Henry was born the year after the Boston Massacre. The year he married Alice, was the year of the Whiskey Rebellion in Pennsylvania. In some Yellow Frame Church Records, Mrs. Grace Van Horn's records it says in a clipping.."In memory of Henry Dudder who departed this life February 1804 in the [looks like 34] year of his age." *Info from Tina Keppler Aug. 9, 2001.

Mrs. Wilson was the daughter of Peter Wintermute, and was twice married; her first husband was Henry Dodder. She was a woman of modest and retiring habits, and with propriety it may be said, that but few are followed to the grave by so large and respectable a circle of mourning friends. Note: Alice was the d/o Peter Wintermute and Esther Rhodes, and the granddaughter of Charles Rhodes and Alice Van Kirk.

Stillwater Township Stillwater was set off from Hardwick Twp. when Warren County was set off from Sussex County in 1824. It is located in the southern part of the county, bordered on the west by Walpack, on the south by Warren Co., on the east by Green and Andover Twps., and on the northeast by Hampton. The land is most suitable for farming. Physical features include the Blue Mountains on the west which separate it from Walpack Twp., the Paulinskill River and Swartwoods Pond. Villages located in Stillwater Twp. include Stillwater, Fredon, Middleville and Swartswood. http://www.census-online.com/links/NJ.html Marriage Notes for HENRY DODDER and ALICE WINTERMUTE: Perhaps the reason we cannot find marriage records for Henry and Alice is that about 1820 or so, there was a fire in the home of the person who kept the church records. They were kept in his home.

She married JOSEPH PRESTON YADEN January 12, 1782 in Martinsburg, Berkeley Co., VA, son of JACOB YEADON and ELIZABETH PROCTOR. He was born December 17, 1756, and died September 01, 1843 in Hickory Valley, Union Co., TN. Notes for MARY SUSANNA PENNYBAKER: This was sent to me by another Yadon cousin: Author Unknown to this Historian: Anita McNamer Struble The Yadon Heritage is a strong and proud one. It spans from beyong the Revolutionary War to the present. It's beginnings have been traced to a small, emerald green area, know as County Down, Ireland. There on 17 December 1756 (time approximate), a baby boy was born to Jacob and Elizabeth (Proctor) Yadon. This boy, christened Joseph Preston Yadon, was destined to be the seed from which the American Yadons stem. Little is known of Joseph's childhood or what made him leave his home at the young age of twelve. It is only known that at a later date he joined the British Army as a drummer boy, and as a direct result, was sent to the American Colonies. He came, along with his Company, to help put an end to the growing insurgency that was located in the New World. England had known many rebellions and all of them had been quelled before an uncomfortable flame agains England could develop. He and his comrades were certain that such would be the case in the Colonies. Of course, this was not so, for this rebellion, having been fueled with indignation and a burning desire for freedom, along with England's over assurance that the fire would burn out in it's own time, had already reached uncontrolable proportions. Thus, his Company was to have only a few, if any, victories over the Colonists before they, themselves, were captured. During his imprisonment he learned the reason for the revolution and afterwards decided to help in the fight against British oppression. In circa 1780, his Company was marching through the countryside of Virginia and there he saw a lovely red haired young lady drawing water from a well. She shared the water withthe soldiers and as they left, Joseph told his marching companion, "When the war is over, I am going to come back and marry her." The young lady was Mary Susannah Pennybaker, and he did come back and marry her. To this marriage were born 12 children: 5 boys and 7 girls. These were the roots of the Yadon Family Tree. Joseph Yadon served a total of twelve years with the new Continental Army and was honorably discharged on 17 November 1781. He and his wife, Mary, settle in Martinsburg, Virginia [now West Virginia] and later settled near Rutledge, Tennessee. From there the Yadon roots spread to almost every state in the Union and into every walk of life. Intermingled with America's own heritage, the Yadons have endured the test of time and, let us pray, will continue to do so until the end of time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Aug 5, 1999 My connection to the Yadon family is as follows: My father was Lloyd Earl "Bill" McNamer. His mother was Alice Adaline [or Jane] Cline, her mother was Mary Jane Yadon, her father was Joseph Marion Yadon, his father was William Proctor Yadon and finally Joseph Preston Yadon and his father, Jacob Yadon. I am eight generations from Jacob. I've always been interested in the Yadon Family History ever since I heard about the British Drummer Boy who came to America with the British during the American Revolution and eventually joined the Continental Army and fought with the Amcericans against the Brithish. The story about the money that he would have inherited had he been able to make it back to England just added a bit of mystery to the story, as I always wondered WHY he didn't go back to claim it. Both my father's side of the family reads like a history book. Dad's Yadon line is chuck full of history and Mom is decended from three Mayflower passengers and two branches of her family have a history that goes back to the early beginnings of the Morman Church. Then there is my husband's family history, which is just as fascinating. So you see, I am pretty much INVOLVED in this genealogy and family history business! Anita McNamer Struble _______________________________________________________ from The Descendants, of DOWN IN THE BARNS Mary Susannah Pennybaker was born 1 Dec 1763. Her parents were Jacob Pennybaker and Christina [Dotterer]*, (1) [daughter of Conrad Dotterer]. Mary grew up in Berkley County, Virgina, now West Virginia. When she was seventeen, her father bought land in the town of Hartinsburg, Virgina. She was living in Martinsburg in 1782, when at the age of nineteen, she met and married Joseph Preston Yadon. Joseph was a young Irishman, twenty-six years old, who had chosen the United States as the country he wanted to live in. One Yadon family history describes Mary as a pretty redhead (2). In some histories her name appears as Susannah Mary and in others, Mary Susannah, but one of the land deeds has her signature as Susannah M. Yadon (3). Mary left her home in Martinsburg in Martinsburg in 1793. She and Joseph with their six small children moved west to Washington County, Virginia. They remained there eight years and Mary had three moRE children while living there. Sometime between Mar 1801, when Mary had her ninth child, and Jun 1801, the family moved to Grainger County, Tennessee. There Mary bore three more children, giveing her a family of twelve. Mary Pennybaker Yadon lived to see many great grandchildren. She died at the age of seventy-five in Aug 1838. Beside the grave of Joseph Yadon in the Yadon Cemetery in Union County, Tennessee, is an unlettered field stone which marks Mary's grave. References: 1. While no documentation of the parents of Mary Pennybaker has been found [at this time], all evidence from the records supports this. Birth date from DAR record #144265. *Betty Jo Weaver Windell's book, YADON -- PENNYBAKER FAMILY HISTORY has Christina''s maiden name as Dotterer and has her father as Conrad Dotterer. 2.

Am I the only one that finds it amusing that the fifth child, William Proctor Yadon married Margaret (Peggy) Capps, and that the 11th child, Margaret (Peggy) Yadon married William Capps? Mother's note says that Peggy Capps was the daughter of Sampson Anderson and Esther (Smith) Capps. She doesn't says who Wm Capps is the son of. My ancestor, Jacob Benjamin Yadon also married a Capps--Rachel, the daughter of William and Rachel (Smith) Capps; and another child in that family, Elizabeth, married a Willis Capps, son of Thomas Capps.

I also visited this old cemetery back in the early 70's when I was travelling through Tennessee. I searched all over the place in Eastern Tenn. and finally talked to someone and got directions. Had to walk up the hill through a corn field as I remember. Our family is originally from Bowling Green, Ky. and subsequently Louisville, although I have lived in Florida now for the past 35 years. I have some information on our family but would love to hear more about our ancestry. Any suggestions? Richard F.

I would like to help and I'm all for a reunion. I was there for a Capps Yadon Reunion in 1987 and just to do some Genealogy and visit the cemetery in 1989 but I haven't been back since. I would suggest checking with the Museum and Historical Society there in Maynardville. Mark do you live in Maynardville? There was a man named Gene Tharpe who was the president of the Museum but he may not be living now. It was so long ago. A country western singer, Roy Acuff donated a lot of money to build the Museum. It may be called the Acuff Museum. I will check with another person, Rosemary (Capps) Lee who lives in Sedalia. She attended the Reunion also. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Yaden - Apr 18, 2010 Viewers | Reply to this item Greetings Judy! I live in Kennewick, WA. Last summer my wife, Gail, and I made the trip to the cemetery and I'm sure glad we did. I did a little Internet searching shortly after our trip and sent an e-mail to the Union County Historical Society (it was closed when we stopped by) but never got a reply back. I will try a phone call this time to the Historical Society and see if I can look up the museum. I am wondering if a number of Yadon's still live in the general area of Maynardville? Thanks for your reply! Mark Notes for JOSEPH PRESTON YADEN: Lynette Clay - Jul 8, 2003 Categories: Joseph Preston Yadon Decendants Jhttp://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bakhelvy/stories.htm I was searching around for new info and came across someone's family web site (the link above, I hope it works) and this was at the bottom of the page about Joseph Preston Yadon. I hope it was OK to copy it to share. It would explain why he couldn't get back to Ireland to claim his inheritance. I had always thought he traveled to Canada but missed the ship to Ireland. Has anyone heard of this story below?: Joseph Preston Yadon (Patriot or Traitor?) was born in County Down in Ireland. When he was 12 someone in his family died, and it upset him so much he ran away from home. Later, he came by boat to the new American Colonies and fought with General Burgoyne in the Revolutionary War on the side of the British. He was only 18 years old when he played the drum in the fife and drum corps under General Burgoyne. When General Burgoyne's troops were captured, so was Joseph Yadon. The conditions in the prisons at that time were horrible. The prisoners were given very little food. Some died of diseases or starved to death. Joseph was young and wanted to live. When the independent Americans told the prisoners they could be free if they changed sides and fought for the Americans, Joseph did. Now he was a drum major for the Americans. His friend, by the name of Pennybaker, played a fife. Even though Conrad died, Joseph Yadon got to be friends with the Pennybaker family. [I hope I don't have this story wrong. I can't find Conrad in my database. However there are so many spellings of Pennybaker, I may have just missed it. If you can straighten me out, please do.] Conrad had a pretty red-headed sister that Joseph married and settled down with after the war. He lived in Tennessee in his later life. He actually inherited a large fortune in Ireland, but couldn't go back to get it because he would have been hanged for being a traitor to the British cause. In America, he is honored because of his service to his country during the Revolution. There is a book about him and his descendants.

Flectcher Joseph Preston Yadon (1756-1843) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- by lynxlady80-on 2007-11-06 Joseph Preston Yadon ran away from home at an early age. When he was 12 years old, he enlisted as a drummer boy in the English Army (1772) and came to America shortly before the Revolution. He served under General Burgoyne and was captured with Burgoyne by the colonists at the Battle of Freeman’s farm on 19 September 1777. After his capture, he joined the continental troops and served two years as a drum major under Captains John Carney, Tipton, Capman and Cherry. He also served under Colonel Joseph Crockett. He was in Gen. Clarks's expedition to the Falls of Ohio. He enlisted at Martinsburg, Berkley County, Virginia (now West Va) in 1779 and was discharged in 1781. From 1832 until his death in 1838, he drew a pension of $24.00 quarterly. Joseph Yadon and wife, Susannah Mary Pennybaker, resided near Maynardsville, Grainger County (now Union), Tennessee. At one time, he was the postmaster at "Haynes" Tennessee. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joseph Preston Yadon was down in County Down, 17 Dec 1756. His parents were Jacob and Elizabeth Proctor Yadon. At an early age, in Ireland, Joseph enlisted in the army and served as a drummer boy. During the American Revolution, Irish soldiers were sent to England to join the British in their war against the colonists, even though the Irish people's sentiment were three to one on the side of the Americans. Joseph Yadon was one of these Irish soldiers sent to American to fight against the colonists. All available evidence indicates that he was amont the prisoners taken at Saratoga, N. Y. when General Burgoyne was defeated there in October 1777. These prisoners were held in towns in Vermont and Mass. for over a year, then in early 1779 they were marched to Albemarle Barracks at Charlottesville, Virginia. As they passed through Pennsylvania and northern Virgina, many slipped away into the countryside to join the colonists cause. Joseph Yadon was one of thes soldiers. When the opportunity came, he joined the cause he believed in and became a soilder of the American Army. A discription of his service is given in the statement filed when he applied for a pension. Joseph Yadon stated that in 1779 "after enlisting at Martinsburg, Virginia, we march with Captain John Carney to Albemarle Barracks to join Colonel Joseph Crockett's regiment. I served as drummer of said regiment and was later promoted to Drum Major." Colonel Joseph Crokkett's regiment was assigned to guard the western frontier and join General George Rogers Clark occasionally. In 1780, General George Washington and Govenor Thomas Jefferson authorized General George Rogers Clark to organize a campaign to capture Detroit, a British stronghold from which Indians were launching vicious attacks on the fronteir settlements. One of the regiments ordered to join Genral Clark was Colonel Joseph Crockett's regiment in which Joseph Yadon was now serving as Drum Major. Joseph stated: "We were ordered to Pittsburg to join General Clark. We took boats to desend the River Ohio to the Falls." Moving down the river in flat-boats, through a wilderness peopled with hostile Indians, Clark and his group of 400 men escaped attack and reached Fort Nelson at the Falls (now Louisville, Kentucky), in late August or early September of 1781. At this time, General Clark saw little hope for success with his Detroit campaign. In council with his cammanders, the decision was to abandon the campaign and stay at Fort Nelson through the winter. Most of Clark's men were serving under term enlistments. For Joseph Yadon, his two year enlistment was up. He stated: "We camped at the falls of the Ohio until December 1781 when I was honorably discharged." Following his discharge, Joseph Yadon returned to Martinsburg, Virginia where he had enlisted. There, on 12 January 1782, he married Mary Susannah Pennybaker, daughter of Jacob and C hristina Pennybaker. Mary and Joseph lived in Martinsburg for twelve years. During that time, they had six children. In 1794 they left Martinsburg and began their move west. They settled in Washington County, Virgina and bought land on the Middle Fork of the Holston river. During the five years they spent there, three more children were born. In 1801, they left Virginia and moved beyond the Clinch Mountains to the new state of Tennessee. They first came to Claiborne County; Joseph served on a jury there in June 1802. On 9 Oct 1802, Joseph brought the farm on which he and Mary spent the remainder of their lives. He purchased a 140 acre tract in Grainger County from Andrew Evans for sivty-three and aaand one-third dollors. This land was in Hines Valley, on the south side of Wallens Ridge, at the foot of Lone Mountain. Here, in the part of Grainger County that became Union County, three children were born. In this sparsely settled area, Joseph and Mary's sons and daughters grew to maturity, married, bought land and established homes nearby. 12 March 1833, Joseph Yadon, age 77, applied for a pension, describing his service in the American Revolution while the clerk at Rutledge recorded it in the County Court Minutes. He was awarded a pension of $88.00 per annum. In August 1838, Mary Pennybaker Yadon died. Joseph was living alone on his farm in 1840. On 1 September 1843, at the age of 87, Joseph Yadon died. He and Mary were buried in a cemetery on a hill on their farm. This, now known as the Yadon Cemetery, is located off Walker's Ford road in Hickory Valley in Union County. Only two of Joseph and Mary's children remained in Tennessee.

Actually it brought up Genealogy.com Joseph Yadon military record Posted by: Rudy Evans Date: January 20, 2002 at 01:36:42 of 169 The Muster Rolls of the 62nd Regiment of Foot commence in 1772 and the first reference to Joseph Yeadon was found on 21st July 1772 where he is shown as being a drummer and was stationed at Ballinrobe, Ireland. He was a member of Captain George Marlay’s Company at the time. He was 15 years, 7 months of age at this reference. Joseph remain at Ballinrobe until about July 1773 when he is found to be with the company in Dublin. They remained there until about July 1774 when the company was relocated to Cork. In July 1775 they are back in Ballinrobe. In February 1776 Marlay's Company is stationed in Galway where they are recruiting. In April 1776 the company is in Monkstown. Joseph is age 19 years and 3 months at this time. Records between April 1776 and April 1777 do not survive. The 62nd Regiment of Foot departed in 1776 for Canada. Once there they would eventually become part of General John Burgoyne troops. Burgouyne embarked from St. Johns (now St. Jean), Canada, on June 17, 1777, with a total force of some 9,000 men, including about 4,200 British regulars, 4,000 German troops, and several hundred Canadians and Indians.Burgoyne's first major objective, Fort Ticonderoga on Lake Champlain, fell on July 6, after a four-day siege. Moving southward through Skenesboro and Fort Edward, the British were impeded by rough terrain and the delaying tactics of General Philip Schuyler, then commanding American troops in the Northern Department. On September 13, Burgoyne crossed to the west bank of the Hudson at Saratoga (now Schuylerville) and marched southward. Four miles north of the village of Stillwater, the British force came upon the Americans, 9,000 strong under the command of General Horatio Gates. The Americans were entrenched on Bemis Heights where the road squeezed through a gap between the hills and the Hudson River. American artillery on the heights and in redoubts along the Hudson commanded the river and the road. Burgoyne’s army had either to run the gauntlet between the hills and the river, thus risking destruction, or drive the Americans from their fortifications on the heights. The British general chose to fight. On September 19 the British army advanced upon the American Camp in three separate columns. Two of them headed through the heavy forests covering the region; the third, composed of German troops, marched down the river road. The American scouts detected Burgoyne’s army on the march and notified Gates, who ordered Col. Daniel Morgan’s corps riflemen to track the British march. About 12:30 p.m., some of Morgan’s men brushed with the advanced guard of Burgoyne’s center column in a clearing known as the Freeman Farm, about a mile north of the American camp. The following battle swayed back and forth over the farm for more than three hours. As the British lines began to waver in the face of the deadly fire of the Americans, German Reinforcements arrived form the river road. Hurling them against the American right, Burgoyne steadied the wavering British line and gradually forces the Americans to withdraw. Except for the timely arrival of the German troops and the near exhaustion of the Americans’ ammunition, Burgoyne might have very well have been defeated that day. Though he held the field of battle, Burgoyne was shaken by his ‘victory,’ and ordered his troops to entrench in the vicinity of Freeman Farm and await support from British General Clinton, who was supposedly preparing to move north toward Albany from New York City. Burgoyne waited for nearly three weeks but Clinton did not come. Burgoyne’s situation was becoming critical. He was facing a growing American army without hope of help from the south, and his supplies were rapidly running out. The British army became weaker with each passing day. Burgoyne had to choose between advancing or retreating. He decided to risk a second engagement, and on October 7 ordered a reconnaissance-in-force of 1,500 men to test the American left flank. Marching southwesterly about three-quarters of a mile, the troops deployed in a clearing on the Barber Farm. Tthe Americans knew that Burgoyne’s army was again on the move and at about 3 p.m. attacked in three columns…Repeatedly the British line was broken, then rallied, and both flanks were severely punished and driven back Before the British flanks could be rallied, General Benedict Arnold (who had been relieved of command after a quarrel with Gates) rode onto the field and led troops against the Germans holding the British center. Under tremendous pressure from all sides, the Germans joined a general withdrawal back to their fortifications on the Freeman Farm. Within an hour after the opening clash, Burgoyne lost eight cannon and more than 400 officers and men. Darkness ended the day’s fighting and saved Burgoyne’s army from disaster. That night the British commander withdrew his troops to the Great Redoubt, which protected the high ground and river flats at the northeast corner of the battlefield. On the night of October 8, the British began their retreat northward. They had suffered 1,000 casualties in the fighting of the past three weeks; American losses numbered less than 500. After marching in the mud and rain, Burgoyne’s troops took refuge in a fortified camp on the heights of Saratoga. There an American force of nearly 20,000 men surrounded the exhausted British army. Faced with such overwhelming numbers, Burgoyne surrendered on October 17, 1777. Joseph Preston Yeadon (Yadon) and the 62nd Regiment of Foot formed the center of British General Hamilton’s brigade during Burgoyne's campaign down from Canada. This brigade was the second brigade of the [British] right wing of the army. The 62d was not only at the battle of Freeman’s farm on 19 September 1777, but were unarguably the most involved unit. They sustained more casualties (killed, captured, and wounded) that day in battle than any other British unit in battle in the whole war! They had been with the Canadian army since spring 1776 and served till the Convention of Saratoga. Their service was relatively short, but difficult. The British commanders were repatriated but because of some disagreement with the British conduct following the surrender the ranks were not repatriated. Joseph Yadon was one of these. These prisoners were marched from New York down into Virginia toward the Albemarle Barracks, at Charlottesville, VA. Finally in 1779, Yadon enlisted in the American army at Martinsburg, VA (now West Virginia). He was a member off Colonel Joseph Crockett's Western Battalion. In September 1780, Crockett’s men were sent to Ft. Pitt (Pittsburg) where they joined General George Rogers Clark. In June of 1781, General George Rogers Clark with a force of 400 men, left Ft. Pitt by boat and headed down the Ohio River to The Falls of the Ohio (now Louisville, KY). They stayed at The Falls until December when Joseph Yadon was discharged. On January 12, 1782, now back in Martinburg, Virginia, Joseph Yadon married Mary Susannah Pennybaker, daughter of Jacob and Christina Dotterer Pennybaker. Coincidentally, while Joseph Yadon was hunkered down in New York state in September and October 1777, back in Pennsylvania, Pennebacker Mills (Pennypacker Mills as it is known today) was being used by General George Washington as his headquarters just prior to and immediately after the Battle of Germantown. Although Jacob Pennybaker's father, Peter Pennebacker, had died in 1770, his mother still lived there with son Samuel to whom the property went following Peter's death. Three graves of American soldiers are to be found on the property today. Presumably others lie in unmarked graves. The house had remained in the family until about1900 when a descendent of one of Peter Pennebacker's brothers acquired the house. Samuel Whitacker Pennypacker remodeled the home into a gentleman's country home. He was govenor of Pennsylvania in the early 1900s. His descendents turned the home over to Montgomery County. Pennypacker Mills is today owned a park owned by Montgomery County and open to the public. Mary Susannah Pennybaker's brother Conrad Pennybaker was a Fife Major 44th Virginia regiment in 1778 and died while in the army. Children of MARY PENNYBAKER and JOSEPH YADEN are: 233. i.

He wrote: The Star-Spangled Banner Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming; Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous flight, O'er ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof, through the night, that our flag was still there. Oh, say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave. O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? Fourth stanza: Oh, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand between their loved home and the war's desolution; Blessed with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land Praise the power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just; and this be our motto; In God is our Trust. And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave. O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Penna., vol. 2d Company. From the'Desc of George Philip Duddra or Dodderer' by Duttera. Page 58 "Second" or "New" 101st Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry 1865 "Honor to Whom Honor is Due" The following information is provided by Edward Boots, President and 101st PA Historian for the Civil War Plymouth Pilgrims Descendants Society. After the capture of the majority of the 101st PA at Plymouth, NC on the 20th of April 1864, Roanoke Island, NC became the headquarters for the 18th Army Corps Sub-District of the Albemarle and was garrisoned by fragments of the regiments from Plymouth, including members of the 101st PA. In the spring of 1865, men began arriving at Roanoke Island from PA to fill up the depleted ranks of the 101st. The plans were to form 8 new companies and combine the men of the 101st already there into 2 companies, with a total of 10 companies. However, this re-organization never was totally effected. The muster out date for the majority of these soldiers was June 25, 1865 at New Bern, NC. (The remainder have their muster out dates stated.) They received their final pay at Harrisburg, PA on July 13, 1865. Not much is known at this time about the military service of the reorganized 101st PA. To the best of my knowledge, they were used as garrison troops at Roanoke Island, New Bern, & Morehead City, NC; never fighting in any battles. Any information pertaining to their military service would be greatly appreciated. DUTTERA, Rufus C. - Corporal, Co. G.

On two different occasions he visited Germany where he spent some time in gathering historical data. Mr. Dotterer was an officer and member of the First Reformed Church in Philadelphia. He was a member of the Pennsylvania Society Sons of the Revolution, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the Montgomery County Historical Society, and the Presbyterian Historical Society.

His decease occurred at 9 P.M. on Jan. 10, 1903, at the Medico-Chirurgical Hospital, from uraemia, after an illness of but a few days. He was elected to membership in the Pennsylvania-German Society on October 2, 1902. H.M.M.R. 161.

YOST: PA Civil War Civil War History in Montgomery County, PA http://www.pacivilwar.com/county/montgomeryhistory.html PA Civil War Soldiers of Montgomery County Bean, Theodore W., History of Montgomery County, 1884. Daniel M. Yost was born on the 27th of August, 1839, in Pottsgrove township, where he attended the public school of the district, and later received superior advantages of education at Washington Hall, situated at the Trappe. From 1852 until 1854 he varied the vocation of a teacher with labor on the farm, and in March of the latter year accepted a position as clerk in a dry-goods store in Norristown, continuing thus occupied until the beginning of the war in 1861. On the 19th of April he enlisted for three months in the Fourth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and was during this period of service promoted to the position of first sergeant of his company. The following spring he embarked in business with J.H. Brendlinger, and during the fall of 1862, Colonel Yost again manifested his patriotism by raising a company during the emergency and immediately reporting for duty at Harrisburg. Such was the spirit infused into this band of recruits by their captain that in thirty-six hours from the time of their enlistment they were en route for the State capital. Colonel Yost was promoted from a captaincy to the position of lieutenant-colonel of the Eleventh Pennsylvania Volunteers, which was the first regiment that crossed the line into Maryland and reinforced General Reynolds at Hagerstown. On his return from service he was commissioned lieutenant-colonel of the One Hundred and Seventy-ninth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and while serving with his regiment was wounded at Baltimore Cross-Roads, near White House Landing, Va. In 1864 he resumed his business relations, and has since that date been one of the representative merchants of Norristown. Colonel Yost, was, in 1863, married to Hannah, daughter of Solomon Feather, of Norristown. The children of this marriage are Daniel F., Harry F., Walter, Maria R. and Ella. Colonel Yost has been largely identified with the business interests of the borough, as also of the county. A Democrat in politics, he does not participate in the various political movements of the time and invariably declines office. He is a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, Norristown.

Abram MURLIN md. Matilda A. ("Tillie") SHIRLEY and they had: Mamie (Cramer), Frances Meredith MURLIN (my grandmother, who md. Daniel Carroll MEAD), Inez Shirley (Conner), Homer A. MURLIN (a banker), and Bess A. (Moody). This would be the Descendancy for the MEAD family. Janice Beever says in 2004: Louise Hall Coil is listed in your file as the preferred wife--I believe William Murlin may have had 4 children with her; however, he had 10 sons and 4 daughters with Lydia Beigelow. All of the sons served in the Union forces during the Civil War; only one, McKendree died. These were the grandchildren of John Murlin and Sarah Dodderer.

War of 1812 1812-1815 During the War of 1812 the British had naval supremacy on the Atlantic coast and were able to transport their troops by water. With the end of the Napoleonic Wars they moved an army of veteran soldiers to the Chesapeake and landed at Benedict, Maryland on the Patuxent River on August 19, 1814. There were few regular U.S. Army soldiers in the area and the British advanced toward Washington, D.C. with little opposition. On August 24, 1814 the Maryland and D.C. militia, including many of the men below, made a stand at Bladensburg. It was not our finest hour and the militia broke and ran. The battle would be remembered as the "Bladensburg Races." Reading the material below it is not surprising. Men were called up for a short time and discharged to be called up again with a different set of officers. Militia was never a highly disciplined force and these men lacked any unit cohesion. Militia served best when well led, stiffened with a core of regulars and entrenched. Some local militia units were posted all over the county and not concentrated with the main army, missing the battle. To date I have not seen a good order of battle for the American force to know which of the men below would have been on the field. It is certain that many of the men lived in the path of the British invasion route and at least one Lanham plantation had a horse taken by the British Army.

His father died when he was 10 months old. He never told anyone about his four older sisters and 3 half sisters the (Willson's). He seems to have made up a story about being born in Germany. He wasn't. He pioneered in Addison Twn., near Leonard, Oakland County, Michigan in 1835/1837 then went on to pioneer in Douglas County, Kansas circa 1855-59. [Family all say 1855] His baptism is recorded in the Stillwater Presbyterian Church, Stillwater, NJ on June 22, 1803.

Andreas in "The History of Kansas", 1883. http://www.kancoll.org/books/cutler/ KANSAS COLLECTION BOOKS William G. Cutler's [was first published in 1883 by A. T. Andreas, Chicago, IL.] He ran a restaurant for the Butterfield Stage stop. He had a run in with Jesse James. Grandpa Peter was resting on his porch when Jesse road up and told him to get up and get him a drink of water. He told him to get it himself. When they moved the family cemetery in order to build a road, his body was said to have turned to stone. He was a hard working, no nonsense man. Peter didn't like the route the stages took after they stopped to change teams and eat. Once, it was said, he took his gun from above the door and ambled out to stop them. As he approached the coach, he saw four guns aimed at him from inside and wisely decided to wait in pressing his claims. When the spring rains arrived, he listed ridges across the road and thus forced the drivers to change their route a short distance south to the Old Santa Fe Trail. DOUGLAS COUNTY, Part 38 -LAPEER.

Jacob Dodderer Will / Division of land Author: Tina Keppler Date: 9 Aug 2001 12:01 AM GMT Surnames: Dodder, Dodderer, Dudder Classification: Deed - In Reply to: Yellow Frame Church and Dodderer stones by: Tina Keppler There is so much here that it is going to get tricky to include all of the information. I have to go get a Corona before I start. (Yes, with lime). Okay, this is what I have here: Jacob Dodderer's will dated 2/22/1813. Wife Lydia was alive when the will was written...Main part of the estate goes to his granddaughter Elizabeth Lane (daughter of Jacob [not right...])..she gets 800 dollars. The remainder looks like it gets split in half between Abraham and the heirs of Henry Dodder. I have also Jacob Dodder's land division, where the land is divided between Abraham and the heirs of Henry...and then another land division where Henry's heirs divide the land. All very interesting! They also come complete with maps which I will scan in and attach to this e-mail. The children of Henry are Peter, Esther, Catharine, Lydia and Anne Marie (from what I can tell). The original parcel that was owned by Jacob Dodder in Hardwick was right on the Paulinskill River...the river cuts directly through the middle. There are two dwellings that I can see...One is right on the river and was the parcel given to Abraham along with 205 acres. The other parcel of land that went to the heirs of Henry was 270 acres and the dwelling was some distance from the river. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out where this was. I would say along the Paulinskill between Stillwater and Blairstown...not too far from the village of Stillwater...There used to be a road that ran along the river...but there are only pieces of it left today and you have to go by foot or horse. If you ever get up here, I will show you all of these sights. As for the other division...between the heirs of Henry, it looks like Peter got the most 72 acres or so...and the girls all got around 50 acres each...totalling the original 271 acres. I also have Jacob Dodder's inventory...totalling 535$ but the handwriting is hard to read. It can be done...and it is neat to see what he did own. I will leave it up to you to decifer this. I also have Henry Dodder's inventory...and he owned quite alot. Much more than his father...Was his wife Alice? That is the name on here with Abraham as the witness to the inventory. Total inventory valued at 686.69. Sounds like a great house! They had all of the colonial items that we all kill for today. You will love this! Next I have Abraham Dodder's inventory and accounting. This one is not so easy to read. If you come to town to do research, you can see the original books. I will have to notify the clerk that you are coming and she will retrieve the books out of storage. He also owned a ton of stuff... Lastly I have the court papers for the Orphans court..on behalf of Peter Dodder, son of Henry. Apparently he switched guardians almost immediately after being placed. He was first given into the custody of Enos Coursen May 1819. Later that year, Isaac Coursen is appointed his guardian. *Tina Keppler Enos died that year and that is why the custody was changed. Why was he is an orphan? Peter was born on April 30, 1803. His dad died when he 14 months old on February 20, 1804. His mother remarried John Willson in about 1805. He had three half sisters born to John Willson. He had four older sisters born to his father. His sisters: Esther Dodder m. John Roy Lydia Dodder m. Bowdewine Van Auken Catherine Dodder m. Ensley Roy Anne Marie Dodder m. Tunis Tunison His half sisters: Hannah Willson m. George Cook Elizabeth m. a Hazen Margaret Willson m. Abraham Struble, Peter's wife Margaret Struble's brother! In the 1850 Census for Oakland County, Michigan, a Peter Dodder, age 55, was in jail for perjury at the time the census was taken. Our Peter would have been 52. ************************************************* 1850 United States Federal Census Dodder, Peter State: Kansas Year: 1859 County: Douglas Roll: Township: Marion Twp Page: 3 Kansas Census, 1850-90 DODDER, PETER State: KS Year: July 7, 1870 County: Douglas County Record Type: Federal Population Schedule Township: Marion Township.

We don't know much about Margaret. Odd. LAPEER. Lapeer is situated in the southwest part of the county, near the headwaters of Rock Creek, on gently undulating prairie. The first settlements were made in the vicinity of 1855, by George Shobert, Peter Dodder, James Baker and Samuel Hays. The town was so named after a town of the same name in Michigan. The property they pioneered on in Kansas was near the place that they bought and gave to their daughter Elimira and Phillip called The Hill or Simmons Point. After Peter died, Robert and his wife Sarah lived on the old place. Si Dodder's place was on past this spot and past his place is where you would turn to go to Twin Mound. From the 'The Hill' Twin Mound was NW. To go to Lawrence from Twin Mound you turned north around the bend and the old Jenkins place, past the old stone schoolhouse called, 'Spunky Point" and went north through Clinton, crossed the Kaw [now a lake] and into Lawrence.

He married SARAH STERLING 1823 in Warren County, New Jersey. She was born Abt. February 1801 in New York State, and died March 23, 1883 in Washington, Washington Co., Iowa. Notes for JACOB DODDER: He was a pattern-maker, farmer, inventor, millright. He is described as a small figure, lithe, active, tough as spiral twisted timber, kindly in mood. Father Dodder was a versatile man. He was an artist who specialized in making woodcuts. He was a horticulturist who took prizes for seedlings grapes of his own raising. He sold the first root beer in the county; it was made from his own recipe from roots he grew himself. He held U. S. patients on a churn, a washing machine, and weather stripping, and invented a number of other machines which he didn't bother to patent. When he died at his sons home in Ottumwa in April 1890, he was still tinkering around with with his tools, Source Washington County History book entitled, 'In the Beginning There Was Land', by Kathy Fisher. From the same source--The thing that had created all the interest in good roads was, of course the automobile. The first car in the county was actually one that was invented in Washinton in 1869, and the Press of Sept. 1, reported: Mr. Jacob Dodder is putting up in Charley Millers shop, a three wheeled concern which has been running in his head for ten years. The front wheels are five feet high, the rear wheel about two and a half feet. On the axle he will put one heavy or two lighter springs, sufficiently powerful to propel the vehicle 25 miles per hour on level ground. For up-hill going a sort of hard-car power is used, in addition, which has two sets of gears, and 37 revolutions of the crank will carry it one mile. The springs are wound up by means of a treadle. A wrench lever attached to the rear wheel is used for rudder. His model is rigged to carry three persons. He believes it will be a success, and who knows that it will not supersede our hacks and dig-outs. Mr. D. will probably take a scoot around the square this week. That first trip was disasterous. Dodder started down South Marion lickety-cut, and below the tavern the thing wouln't gee and mind its rudder, and he and it went into the ditch, and it busted. He was hurt in the mix-up. Moved to Iowa in 1856, settled in Washington, IA, died in Ottumwa IA the week before April 16,1890. According to the 1865 IA census he was a millwright.

Dodder, one of Iowa City's oldest and most highly respected citizens. Deceased was born in Sussex Co., NJ, May 11, 1815. He came to this city in July, 1855 and after a short experience in commercial lines opened a real estate and insurance office. Ten years later he was elected justice of the peace and he held the office continuously for 30 years, a record believed to be unequaled in this state, as was his record of marriage performed. He was conscientious in performing the duties of his office and his integrity was above question, while his long experience gave him a familiarity with law which made his decisions difficult to overthrow.

Notes for MECKIE DODDER: An Old Letter Added by schnewsltr on 22 Sep 2009 Extract of letter from Miss Meckie Dodder, dated Iowa City, IA, Setp 14, 1897 "I wish you could look over the old papers my cousin, Mrs. Lanterman, has. She lives in Hackettstown, NJ.... The papers belonged to my great grandfather Jacob Dodderer and were kept in an old box said to have come from "the old country." There are pictures of old houses and windmills on it, painted in oil, but very much faded. If it came from the old country and belonged on the Dodderer side, it must have belonged to George Philip Dodderer..... In this box he (Jacob Dodderer) always kept his private papers. During the Revolutionary War, while he was in the service, his family placed their money in this box and buried it. This was when news came that the Tories were marching toward their home. ii.

Judy, can you clarify the writing on the Headstone underneath Willis's name. Judy Varner - Sep 5, 2005 Born Mar. 11, 1780, Died Mar. 10, 1855. He is the oldest one I have found so far since I have read many stones in Camden Co. Cemeteries. The family always thought that Willis, wife Elizabeth, their son Eli and his wife Elizabeth (Jackson) all died of Cholera. The children were all taken to Jackson and Moulder families to live. In 1850 the Camden Co. Census showed them all living together.

He married MARGARET PEGGY CAPPS, daughter of SAMPSON CAPPS and ESTHER SMITH. She was born December 25, 1798, and died August 10, 1885 in Adair Co., Missouri. Notes for WILLIAM PROCTOR YADON: Some say he was born May 5, 1791- Aug 6, 1999 My Great, great Grandfather, Joseph Marion Yadon was born 23 Oct 1833 in Grainger County, Tennessee to William Proctor Yadon and Margaret Peggy Capps. He was the 9th child out of 11 and the third son born to William Proctor and Margaret Peggy. Sometime in the 1840's when Joseph was probably in his early teens, the family moved to Adair County, Missouri. The record as far as this writer knows, does not show how he met his future wife, but on 14 Apr 1855, Joseph Marion married Loda Ann Sidwell, daughter of David Sidwell and Mary Guthrie, born 15 Feb 1839. Died 31 Oct 1918, Bozeman, Gallatin, Montana They had three children: I. a son, William Thomas Yadon, born 15 July 1856 married Mary E. Baker, died 1938 1. Zennura Yadon 2.

Della Cline III. Milla Keats Yadon, born 31 Jan 1861; died 1862 In all the Yadon Histories I have found, it has been said that my great, great grandfather was reported to have died 4 July 1863. My Grandmother, Alice Cline McNamer Huntsman, had a letter from the U. S. Army Adj. General's Office in her papers that stated that Joseph Yadon had been released from a Camp Mortian, Indiana, a Union POW camp, on 23 May 1865. His home of record was Strawberry Plains, Tennessee. This was when I knew we had a conflict on our hands and ever since I found that out in 1991, I have turned every stone I could find, trying to find out WHY my ggfrandfather did not return home to his family, or at least let them know he was alive. In August of last year, my son and his wife, Ben and Cindy Struble, sold me one of their spare computers, but it took me until Febraury to get up nerve enough to start using it. In April as I was surfing through various research sites, I came upon the Confederate Service Records and I thought, "What the heck...I'll give it a try!" So I e-mailed them and the nexr morning received the following answer. "Dear Ms. Struble, we checked Joseph Marion Yadons service record and it shows he resided in Strawberry Plains, Tennessee. He was released from Camp Mortion on May 23, 1865. Of even greater interest is the fact that he applied for a pension in June 1916. His pension number is S14989. If you send us your mailing addess and a check or money order made payable to the Tennessee State Library & Archines for $5.00, we will copy this application and mail it to you. Ann Bomar." As of the first of this week, I did just that, and as soon as I receive that application, it will be scanned onto the Site so everyone can see it. I have a few "theories" about WHY Joseph Marion did not return to his family, but that's all they are until I have proof...theories. But..... His wife, Loda Ann Sidwell Yadon married John Houston Lay in 1864. As Joseph had been reported dead as of 4 July 1863, she had no way of knowing he was alive. He apparantly was a Camp Mortion and I wonder if he found out his death had been reported to his family in July of 1863, and he found out his wife had remarried, so he just faded into the backwoods of Tennessee so as not to cause her embarassment. Or... Loda Ann was born in Illinois. Was she a stanch Yankee? Did they quarrel before he left to sign up with the 1st Tennessee Cavarly? I kind of have a slight inkling this might have been the case. I have always been fascinated by this couple, and when I first started digging, one night as I said my prayers, I asked Heavenly Father if there was any photos of this couple out there, would he quide me to those who had them so I could somehow get a copy. A few nights later I had this very vivid dream. And this was BEFORE I knew Joseph was a Sgt in the 1st Tennessee Cavarly! Anyway... This couple was standing in a meadow and they were saying goodbye. The wife was crying and the man was trying to comfort her. He was wearing a grey confederate cavarly uniform of the close fitting grey pants with a red strip up the leg, knee high boots, a short "Ike" style jacket and a grey Stetson withthe Confederate insignia on it. He had dark brown hair, a closely cropped beard of the same color and his eyes were the most vivid blue eyes, exactly like my father's eyes. She had on a brown plaid full skirt dress with a white top and a brown plaid bolero jacket. Her brown hair was parted in the middle and looped down over her ears, with twin buns, one behind each ear. I wondered if this was Heavenly Father's answer to my prayer and a couple years later, I REALLY had the answer to my question. Tilly Lay, the wife of one of Loda Ann's descendants, called me and said, "I hear you want a picture of your great great grandmother." No one else knew that, except my immediate family! I answered very excitedly, "I certainly do!" She said she had a family group picture of Loda Ann, and some of her family, one of them being my great grandmother, Mary Jane Yadon Cline. A few days later, I received a package from Tilly and when I opened it and drew out the material, the copy of the photo was on top and Loda Ann was DEFINITELY the lady in my dream! It STILL gives me goose bumps just to think about it! If I could just had the talent to piant that picture that is so vivid in my mind, it would be the photo on the Home Page of this Site!! So that is it as far as of right now. I know that someday, I WILL find out why my gggranfather mysteriously let his entire family think he had died 4 July 1863, but in the meantime, "theories" will have to surffice! Anita McNamer Struble-member of LDS church Reply: Read what others had to say: - Feb 17, 2000 Well, I've found out the Joseph Yadon mentioned in the letter to my Grandmother, Alice Jane Cline McNamer Huntsman, and the information I received from the Tennessee Archives last year, is not MY Joseph Marion Yadon. So, I am back to square one! It is HUGE disappointment, but I guess that is a part of genealogy and family history that I am going to have to get used to, but this is especially hard, because I thought I had solved a major puzzle! Notes for MARGARET PEGGY CAPPS: Aug 5, 1999 View | Viewers | Reply to this item William Proctor, the 5th child of Joseph Preston and Mary Susannah Yadon, was born 5 May 1791, in Washington County, Virginia. When William Proctor was a young man, his family moved to Grainger County, Tennessee. On 5 February 1818, William married Margaret Peggy Capps, daughter of Sampson and Easther Smith Capps of North Carolina. Marrgaret Peggy was born Christmas day in the yea 1798. William Proctor and Margaret Peggy were blessed with eleven children: Sallie, Cyrenia, Silas, Emaline, Louisa Jane, William Proctor II, Sampson A., Esther Minerva, Joseph Marion, Mary Melinda and Levander LeRoy. All their children were born in Grainger County, Tennessee. Sometime during the 1840's, William Proctor and Margaret Peggy moved their family to Adair County, Missouri. William Proctor provided for his family by farming. Later some of their children left Adair County and settled in an adjoining county, Schuyler. According to the 1850 census, Mrs. Esther Smith Capps, age 76, was living with William Proctor and Margaret Peggy. William Proctor and Margaret Peggy had two sons, Joseph Marion* and LeVander LeRoy, who lost their lives during the Civil War. William Proctor Yadon died 25 December 1859. His beloved wife, Margaret Peggy Capps Yadon died 10 August 1885. Both are buried in Adair County. Decedants of William Proctor that we have heard from are: Virgil and Bessie Yadon of West Plains, Missouri and Mrs. Esther Walworth of Milwaukie, Oregon. *Joseph Marion Yadon's death in all the Yadon Histories and/or information that has been sent to me has his death date as 4 Jul 1863. My grandmother, his grandaughter, Alice Jane Cline, had a letter from the United States Army Adjadent General's office in her papers when she passed away that stated he was alive on 23 May 1865 when he was released from the Union Prisoner of War Camp of Camp Martion, Indiana. His home of record was listed as Strawberry Plains, Tennessee. I have recently been corresponding by e-mail with the Tennessee State Library & Archives, and they found inthe Confederate Service Records he was STILL alive in June 1916 when he applied for a pension. I have sent for a copy of that application, and as soon as possible, will have it posted on the Site. Anita McNamer Struble, Great, great granddaughter of Joseph Marion Yadon and Loda Ann Sidwell.

St. Mary's County land records indicate that Pavilion at a later date was acquired from the Dukehart family by George W. Blackstone and afterwards deeded to John F. Dent (Oct. 27, 1858). Thomas was sent to Reading, Pennsylvania to extend his studies in engineering, preparatory to making application to the Navy for an appointment as Engineer Staff Officer. This was before the U. S. Naval Academy included engineering in their curriculum. Thomas received his first notable assignment on a three-year cruise aboard the U.S. Steam Sloop "Wyoming", John K. Mitchell, Commander. He served on Farragut's fleet on the "Katahdin". Children of THOMAS DUKEHART and MARY KREBS are: 381. i. MORTON M.8 DUKEHART, b. Abt. 1882. ii. FRANCES E. DUKEHART, b. July 30, 1864; m. HENRY P.

Notes for THOMAS UPTON: Thomas Upton spent his boyhood at home, attending common schools as opportunity afforded, and securing at least a fair education. For some years before he became of age he followed teaching school. At twenty one he made a trip to New Orleans and back on a flat boat, returning to his home in KY; he then, in 1832, came to Ohio, and purchased eighty acres of land from the government, which was of course unimproved To this first pruchase he added from time to time untill at length he had 800 acres, and as his children became of age he gave each one eighty acres of land, far different in quality or rather, in a far different state of cultivation,f rom what it was in when he made his settlement in the county of Mercer. In 1839, he married Margaret Shepherd, a native of Hardin County, KY who lived but six years afterward, dying in 1845, leaving four children, viz: Cicero, deceased; Mrsy Mary Angeline Dunathan; Mrs. Quintilla Bonnefiels, and Margaret Jane Lawrence. Nov. 17, 1846, he married in Hardin County, KY Mehetabel Rider, a daughter of John and Sarah [Martin] Rider, bothe natives of Ontario Co., NY and of English descent. In 1819 they removed to Hardin Co., KY where M. Rider had pruchased 100 acres of land, Both lived on this land until their death, Mr. Rider dying in 1848 aged 48 and Mrs. Rider dying in 1870, aged 80. Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Upton, viz: Mrs. Sarah Jane Brookhart; Mrs. Jane Cisco; Mrs. Maria Severns, deceased and Thomas E. the subject of this sketch. Of the eight children born to them, all eight lived to be married. Mr. Upton died August 10, 1888. He was 78. He served the county as commissioner, and was not only one of the oldest settlers in his township but also one of the most prominent men in his county. As will be seen from the above recital he ws a very successful man and dying left a large estate. For upward of fifty years he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. In politics he was a democrat and was in every way a highly esteemed citizen. Mrs. Upton lives with her son, Thomas E. and is a remarkably intelligent woman and for her age has a wonderful memory. For upward of sixty years she has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and is a woman of fine qualities and exceedingly pleasant disposition.

JACOB STRUBLE7 DODDER (PETER HENRY6, HENRY5, JACOB4 DODDERER, BERNARD3, GEORG PHILIP DUDDRA2, HANS1) was born February 04, 1830 in Sussex, Co., New Jersey, and died April 02, 1903 in Argentine, MIchigan. He married SARAH MANN September 27, 1854 in Holly, Oakland Co., Michigan, daughter of EARNEST MANN and MARGARET RUSH. She was born Abt. September 1834 in Montana Mountain, Warren County, New Jersey, and died January 11, 1916 in Genesee County, Michigan. Notes for JACOB STRUBLE DODDER: Jacob had about 500 acres in sections 14, 15, and 23 in Argentine. They moved there about 1855. In 1868-69 and 1872 and 1873, he held the office of township-treasurer. From 1874 to 79 he was the supervisor of this twp. He was Justice of the Peace in 1864 and Commissioner of Highways in 1860. * Info from the 'History of Genesee County Michigan], printed at Philadelphia by Everts and Abbout, in 1879. In the early days, it took a week to go to town and back for supplies. There would be pies in the pantry to eat, but you could only take from those that were all ready cut. They had servants, but when Jacob came home, no matter what the time was, the boys had to come out and take care of the horses and carriage. They each had to take turns getting up in the morning to light the fire. He and Sarah were married in Holly, Michigan and settled in Argentine. He was found in the 1860 Census for Genesee County, Argentine, MI. The Dodder District [School] was in the township of Argentine. For the winter term -- Five Months, Nov. 1894-- Apr. 1895, the Class Motto: "Energy Wins the Way." Teacher - Jas. W. Crosby. District Officers were: Director-S. Montgomery. Assessor-A. Fields. Moderator-J. Dodder. The names of the Pupils were: Sarah Judson, Anna Fields, Leonard Stiff, Roy Tunningley, Jake Judson, Mina Brooks, Gracie Stiff, Sarah Fields, Beulah Chase, Ernest Dodder [son of Jacob Dodder], George Gilliespie, Alex Gilliespie, Willie Brooks, Eva Fields, Jane Large, Allie Beard, Otto Chase, Maggie Newton, Mary Tunningley, Elton Bently, Jake Fields, Gracie Brooks, Sylvia Smith, Myrtie Brooks, Viola Luce, Alpha Dodder [George Dodder's son], Murry Chase, James Gillespie, George Bently, Ida Austin, Gracie Whitehead, Ben Whithead, Bob Chase, Willie Tunningley. *The Fields children were probably Frances Dodder Fields children. The Gillespie children were probably Abi's children and the Judson children were probably Genievie's children. Of Interest: The year before Jacob was born, (1830) Andrew Jackson was elected President. The Trail of tears took place 1832-37, Texas Independence 1836, Mexican War 1845, Compromise of 1850, Gadsden Purchase 1853, Civil War 1860-65, financial panics in 1817, 1837, and 1857, and the Whitman's were killed by Indians in Oregan 1847. Other Bank failures in the National Banking Era were in September of 1873; May 1884; November 1890; May-August of 1893 and October through December of 1907. [Elmus Wicker] Family has passed down the story that he had a lot of money and gave each of his children substantial gifts when they got married except for Howell. He had apparently married outside of their wishes. Jacob later lost a lot of money in the stock market and while in the kitchen one day, took a knife and slit his throat. His poor wife............. He died at the age of 73 years, one month and 29 days. He was buried by the Bowles Bros. in Linden, Michigan. The attending doctor was M. A. Tibbets of Linden, Michigan. In a letter from Mrs. Robert A. Struble [Vivian G.] she says that Robert K. Struble and Jake Dodder worked on material for a family book. Robert wrote about it in his diary. Allen Struble lived for a while in a home that both R. Struble and J. Dodder owned back and forth. The Struble family lived in both Michigan and Trumbull County, Ohio.

Pages 230 - 236 Transcribed by Ed Van Horn JACOB S. DODDER, a prominent and well-to-do farmer, is a native of Sussex County, N.J. and was born February 5, 1830. The father, Peter Dodder, was born in Germany in 1804, and was brought to America by his parents the same year. They settled in New Jersey, where both spent the remainder of their days. Peter Dodder, upon coming to Michigan, settled in the township of Addison, Oakland County, where he brought land and cleared a farm, being one of the first settlers of the township. He was an active and industrious man and made great progress in the clearing and improving of this property. In 1857 he removed to Kansas where he resided until his death in 1875. The mother of our subject bore the maiden name of Margaret Struble, and she was born in New Jersey, June 20, 1807. Her parents came from Germany. She is still living as are all of her ten children. The limited educational privileges enjoyed by our subject were those afforded by the primitive log schoolhouse, and as the country was in his boyhood quite new and sparsely inhabited, only a few months of school could be afforded each years. The youth remained at home until he came of age, after which he worked out for a few years, and in the spring of 1855 came to Argentine Township, this county, where he purchased one hundred and sixty acres of partially improved land. Here he at once began the vocation of a farmer and has since devoted himself assiduously to that line of work, compelling by his energy and industry such prosperity that he is now one of the wealthy men of the county. Jacob S. Dodder was in 1854 united in marriage with Sarah Mann who was born in New Jersey but came with her parents to Michigan in 1837. Their children are: Frances, who is the wife of Alpheus Fields, a farmer in this township; George M., deceased; Arnold, who is married and a prosperous farmer here; Annie, now Mrs. Lanta Stevens of Linden; Veve, who married George Judson, a well-to-do farmer; Abi, the wife of William Gillespie living in the twnship of Mundy, and Nye , Howell, and Earnest, who are all at home. The political sympathies of Mr. Dodder have brought him into line with the Democratic party, of whose doctrines he is a staunch supporter and he wields no small influence in the county, being frequently made a delegate to county, district and State Convention. He has served as Supervisor for seven years and has also been for some time both Treasurer and Highway Commissioner. For over thirty years he has been prominently identified with the Masonic order. His three hundred and sixty acres of land are finely improved and besides this has parted with considerable to his sons. He raises all kinds of stock of improved grades and has an attractive and commodious home, substantial barns and other like improvements upon his farm.

Dodder (50), a farmer, was living in Argentine, Genesee County, Michigan, with his wife Sarah (45), and their children George (18), a farm laborer, Arnold (17), a farm laborer, Anna B. (16), Genevieve (14), Morgan (12), Abi (9), Nye (8), Howell (6), and Ernest (1). Jacob and Sarah as well as their parents were all born in New Jersey. The children were all born in Michigan. Also living with them was Adolph Johnson (25), a farm laborer, born in Sweden of Swedish parents. In 1892, Nye, Howell, and Ernest were still living at home. 1870 Census Linden Post Office Argentine Twn, Genesee Co., Michigan Jacob S. Dodder 40, farmer with real estate valued at 17,500 and property at 2,000. Born in New Jersey. Wife Sarah 26 born NJ. Daughter Frances 11; George 8; Arnold 7; Annie 6; Jennievieve 4; Morgan 2; Slocum Edwin age 24. Living next door was George S. Dodder 26 with wife Sarah 19 and son David 7 months old. Notes for SARAH MANN: September 28, 1835 are what some say... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Death and birth date are from her headstone. Leah Dodder Culver, granddaughter of Sarah and Jacob said this about Sarah. " Grandma Dodder came to Battle Creek in 1913 when I was fourteen and she told me her and grandpa was married in Pontiac, Michigan and that grandpa used to load his wagon with wheat and take it to Pontiac to have it ground into flour, took him two weeks and now you can drive a car in less than 2 hours. Don't know if he had oxen or horses." There was a financial collapse in 1857, three years after they were married. That must have been hard. Undertaker was C. S. Manns or Morris of Gaines Michigan and her daughter Mrs. Judson of Gaines was the witness. She was 80 years old, 3 months and 14 days. Her death certificate did state that Ernest Mann was her father. She died in Gaines, Michigan. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sarah was supposed to have brothers who were writters. I found written in Helen Dodder Dale's notes that Thomas Mann, born 1875, and Heinrich Mann, born 1871 were her brothers. I do not believe this is so, since there is 40 years difference in their births and I can find no link. Earnest, George, Anna and Rebecca Mann all bought property the same month and year and close to where Peter Dodder/Dudder bought property in Addison, Oakland County, Michigan in August of 1837. She named sons both names however! Also, Harvey Mann bought property in 1826, and John in 1835 and Lewis in 1825. Also nearby was Samuel Bassett who bought land in December of 1831. There was an Earnest Mann and his wife Margaret in Oakland County, Michigan in 1840 and 1850 with a Sarah. There was a Jacob E. Mann listed on page 107 of History of Genesee County, Michigan, as Flushing, Co. D, mustered out August 15, 1865 of the Fourth Calvery, from Genesee Co.

Arthur, Charles, Charles Wesley, David, Donald, Dorris, Lloyd - Page 66, Bio of C. Arthur Morrison C. ARTHUR MORRISON, former president of the Ohio Funeral Directors Association, now gives most of his time to his duties as an officer in an automobile tire company. Mr. Morrison represents a pioneer family of Franklin County, and was born on his father's farm in Plain Township July 25, 1875, son of Charles Wesley and Loretta (Roberts) Morrison. His mother is still living in Ohio. His great-great-grandfather, David Morrison, was one of three brothers who came from England in the army sent over by Great Britain to fight the colonies in their struggle for independence. David deserted and joined the colonists. His son, David Morrison, married Nancy MANN, of old Holland Dutch stock. The Manns were pioneers of Morristown, New Jersey, and Morristown was named from David Morrison, the first prominent settler. Grandfather David Morrison, on coming to Ohio, settled in Franklin County and developed the farm where is son Charles Wesley and his grandson, C. Arthur, were both born. Nancy MANN was also connected with the Oldham family, a family of the English nobility and identified with the early history of Morristown, New Jersey. Mr. Morrison had several ancestors in the American Revolution. Charles Wesley Morrison was a farmer in early life, and also a stage driver in the days before railroads. He drove one of the old-fashioned stage coaches on the route from Columbus to Mount Sterlin and from Columbus to Kirkersville. He finally left the farm and moved to Delaware, where he engaged in the undertaking business. He was a very active member and on the Offical Board of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was master of the Masonic Lodge at New Albany. The Civil war was raging during Jacob and Sarah's marriage. I also wonder about Jacob Dodder's death in 1903. I don't think that their was that much of a loss of money or the inheritance would not have been much for the children.

She married ROBERT KANADA STRUBLE June 01, 1857 in Brookfield, Ohio, son of JAMES STRUBLE and NANCY SMITH. He was born June 01, 1837 in Brookfield, Trumbull Co., Ohio, and died September 21, 1915 in Seymour Lake, Argentine Co., Michigan. Notes for CATHERINE R. DODDER: They were second cousins.

His family lived in Trumbull County, Ohio where they moved from New Jersey. Robert was named after his maternal uncle. The spelling of Kanada is the German spelling for the country of Canada. He was the Commissioner of Highways in 1868, and 1871. He was also the Argentine Twp. Justice of the Peace. [History of Genesee County, Michigan] He was the Supervisor in Argentine in the Flint City Directory of 1894 He and Catherine were second cousins. He kept diaries. Wish we could see some published. In his 1897 diary, Robert mentioned that they moved into the new house on Seymour Road in Argentine, Michigan on September 27. On March 20 in 1880, he wrote that they tore down the old house that day. His only son, Allen, lived down the road and his grandson Robert A. Struble, who lived at 1086 Pound, Flint Twp, was born there. He and Catherine were married on his 20th birthday, June 1, 1857. Her parents, Peter and Margaret Dodder, sold them 160 acres in 1868. Catherine's brother, Jacob, was supervisor of Argentine Twp. before Robert took the office. A school in Argentine was named for the Dodder family. In 1872 is when Robert kept his first diary, at the age of 35. The entries showed that he enjoyed life, was content to be a farmer and was conscientious in the duties of a supervisor and that he lived the life of a vigerous man. He kept the Sabbath. Only once did he mention doing work on the Sabbath day, and that was to care for a sick cow. On June 1, 1907, he wrote: At home, all friends here on the golden wedding. He recorded the deaths and funerals he attended, now and then mentioning a sale at the home of the deceased. He liked people and enjoyed visiting or being visited. He was an outdoor man in recreation as well as occupation, because every fall he went hunting, once as far away as Edmonton, Alberta. Fishing was likely to be any time, morning or afternoon, before or between farm chores. In 1876, he went to the national centennial celebration in Philadelphia. Howerver, the big week of July 4 was in the busiest season for a farmer, so he waited until September. He said it was cloudy and cool the first day, but the next day at the centennial grounds, it rained all day. Later in the week, when he went to Independence Hall, it rained 'by spells' all day. He attended rallies for both political parties. In January, 1872, the first year of the diaries, he 'went fishing, bought a sewing machine, cleaned out well, laid the platform on the well, filed the saw, got out fence caps, cut wood, got horses shod, got load of ice, 'drawed' hay, went to town with oats, took turkeys to Argentine.........' As spring came on, he mentioned the crops he was sowing, the orchards set, fence repair and burning stumps. In June, he sheared sheep and again cleaned the well. Keeping bees was one of his most demanding chores. It entailed looking for swarms of bees, building hives and frames for them....Late summer brought threshing days, helping at one neighbor after another. Autumn indicated a slowing down, with apples to pick and cider to make, cornhusking and gathering pumpkins. In October, 1872, he jotted down that Barnum's circus show was in town....His comments about the wearther include brief but descriptive phrases: 'Fine winter day, fine sleighing,' 'fearful cold;' 'snowed and blowed like split;' 'awful hot;' 'fine weather for corn.' The weather of Feb 10, 1885, with two feet of snow and a temperature of 26 below zero, elicited Struble's note: 'The worst snowstorm I ever saw." On July 4, 1902, he referred to heavy rains which 'flooded everything, roads washed out and every low place a lake." He was not exaggerating. The Journal called the rains disastrous to the farmers of Genesee County and said that 'in many parts of the county, wheat is sprouting, oats are down and the hay cut Saturday is lying under water." The article continued that the Thread Creek dam had washed out after the flood of July 3 and 4, and that Peer's wood yard was under two feet of water. Social gatherings mentioned included the farmer's picnic at Maple Island, the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Detroit, the Pioneer Picnic at Long Lake every August, going to the Dayton House in Flint for oyster supper. He told of going to Fox and Begole's mill, to Byron 'to look at Middleworth's place,' to Boutell swamp after whortleberies and on frequent winter Mondays to Softwater Lake to get ice for washing with. On April 20, 1904, he made an interesting comment, 'Went to Linden to see about a car.' He wrote on June 2, 1889, 'Went to Murrays to the scene of the murder. Five hundred people there. In the summer of 1910, he mentioned that 'ma', his wife, was very sick and on July 13, he wrote, 'Ma died a 1 p.m.' On the day of her funeral, he wrote, 'Laid Ma to rest. Very warm and rained a little." After her death his diary showed a new preoccupation with cooking and a lack of variety in the menu. In February of 1915, his diary entries stopped. He must have been sick and he died on September 21, 1915 at the age of 78. *This was from an article written about Robert K. in the Sunday, July 21, 1974 paper, 'The Flint Journal', Flint, Michigan. It had a picture of Robert K. and Catherine Struble and a picture of his grandson Robert and his wife Vivien. Marriage Notes for CATHERINE DODDER and ROBERT STRUBLE: Info from the Flint Journal.

ELMIRA7 DODDER (PETER HENRY6, HENRY5, JACOB4 DODDERER, BERNARD3, GEORG PHILIP DUDDRA2, HANS1) was born January 08, 1840 in Addison, Oakland Co., Michigan, and died 1904 in Lapeer, Osage County, Kansas. She married PHILLIP A. SIMMONS 1859, son of JOHN SIMMONS and LYDIA MANN. He was born August 1836 in New Jersey, and died 1901 in Marion, Kansas. Notes for ELMIRA DODDER: She grew up in Michigan when it was a wild wooded country. There were bears too. Once a bear followed her all the way to the school. The teacher saw what was going on and had the door open so she could get inside quickly. She was very "no nonsense" like her father Peter. If you were idle too long, she'd say "what do you think you're doing?!" She was living in Addison, MI when she married Philip. She came to Kansas later after the war, and helped her father Peter H. Dodder run a restaurant for the Butterfield stage line. First they kept horses and mules then little Spanish mules and would use six of those with a side rider and a stock whip. The next stop west was Burlingame. They would cooked them flapjacks and coffee. She said the stage coaches passed by just north of the Dodder cemetery, but that was moved later, in order to build a road through it. Her father bought the hill where they later lived and gave it to her and Phillip. It was very close to where he lived. And later his son Robert cared for the original place where Peter had pioneered. She had a big house with white walls, and the woodwork was painted a robin's egg blue. She was quite the gal. She did most of the work around the place taking care of everything from the garden to delivering the milk. They had Indians come by the place as late as 1894! They went to Texas for cattle and had a regular cattle drive that year. Elmira let a traveling preacher stay at her house, and during the week's meetings, she was converted "saved" and then baptized. She would spend many evenings reading her Bible. She may have died in 1904. Neighbors they had were the Badsky family. Boss Burwood, Roy Mason and Jim Gay were hired men. Sarah and Robert Dodder lived to the west a little, Jimmy Baker lived nearby. He came to Kansas with Peter Dodder in 1855. The first child born here in Lapeer, was Eli Baker, November 2, 1856; the first marriage was that of B. L. Oldham, to Miss Elvira Baker, in the year 1857. Her granddaughter Zoe thought she was really smart and knew how to do everything. In 1887, August, the US Coast and Geodetic Survey party set up on their Hill to sruvey. They were there from august 18 to September 19 and one of the colored boys died and they buried him right there. Elmira went to visit in Michigan about 1898 or so. In the family plot belonging to the Dodder's were also buried the Demings, Baldwins, Roys, Michael, and many others. Her parents and Phil's parents were buried there. On Decoration Day, they would all go to the cemetery and put flowers on the graves. Once when her granddaughter Zoe asked about why she was sad. She said, her mother, Grandma Dodder [Margaret Struble] died when you, [Zoe] were just one year old. She told her it only seemed like yesterday. 'One never quite recovers from the loss of a mother.' She had a sister in law named Hattie. The fair was held in Overbrook. George Hart had a store and the bandstand would be set up near it. She would gather the honey from the bees. Her granddaughter Zoe described it like this: "She wore Jim Gay's pants, Grandpa Phil's old jacket, an old straw hat she found somewhere, a big pink mosquito net over her hat, and some gloves. She let me tie strings over the top of her shoes so the bees couldn't get in, then around her gloves and neck. She was the funniest looking woman in the world, she was. She grinned at me and wanted me to tell her how she looked, but I couldn't tell her for laughing." When she told this to her other grandma, grandma Thompson, her comment was, "I didn't know there was a man on The Hill who wore trousers big enough to reach around Elmira." The last time Zoe saw her grandma Elmira was when they went to church. Elmira, Louis, Helen and Zoe went. The little girls wore polka dot dresses and lacy straw hats trimmed with little bunches of forget me nots. Elmira wore a black lawn with a white pin strip; and Louisa a summer lawn and each carried a fan. Elmira had lace mitts which were black and from which her fingers stuck out and Zoe wondered why mitts were made that way. In 1870 Marshall Dodder was living with them at the age of 22; stating he was a farm laborer and that he owned personal property worth $130.00. Also had someone name Arnze/Amzi Lacey 33 who was a farmer and owned real estate worth 600.00 and personal property worth 1,550.00. Philip Coursen who was 20 and living there too. [The Coursen's in NJ were related to them, so this young man probably was a relative.] *********************************************** Name: Elmira SIMMONS Age: 41 Estimated birth year: <1839> Birthplace: Michigan Relation: Wife Home in 1880: Marion, Douglas, Kansas Occupation: Keeping House Marital status: Married Race: White Gender: Female Head of household: P.

SIMMONS: Phillip was a cousin of some sort to Elmira. Later on Elmira's mother Margaret Dodder would be living [1880] with Phil's half brother Charles Roy and his wife Julia. I wonder why? Phillip filed a claim in Osage County, in 1858. When the war started, he paid someone to take his place and went to Canada. While up north, he married Elmira Dodder. His mother was married to a Simmons and then a Roy. Phillip moved from NJ, to VA, to Kansas. This is from page 29 of the book 'The Hill or Simmons Point' - written by Zoe Dentler, his granddaughter. The book originally belonged to Earl Huston of Overbrook, Kansas and has been handed down. "Louise [Mary Louise Simmons Thompson]worked at the house and cared for the children. It seemed that much of her time was taken up with ironing the many shirts for her father, who always wore Sunday clothes. Zoe [Louise's daughter]asked one day, "Why does Grandpa Phil always stay dressed up?" Louise responded, first looking to be sure that her father was reading and not listening, "He came from Virginia where the men seldom worked in the early days." "Hasn't he ever worked?" Zoe queried. "No, Grandma Elmira [Dodder] once accused him of being lazy, and the next day he helped the men make hay. He was so sick afterward that Elmira never wanted him to try again!" Elmira would bring in, or have Jim Gay [the hired hand] bring in, loads of fresh vegetables. Phil, as she lovingly called her husband, would move his captain's chair up close to her low rocker and help pod peas and snap beans, all the while telling her about something of interest he had read about that was going on in the outside world.............Sometimes Phil carried them [shucked corn] away to the pig pens. In this way he helped a great deal............He took strolls each day to see if things were being done by the men...... From page 28-Phillip Simmons from his captain's chair offered much advice. He knew the West and its periods of drought. He had come to Kansas in 1858, and he reminded them of the many hardships they would have in this adventure. [puchasing cattle in Texas and driving them home] His granddaughter Zoe said he would help a lot with the kitchen chores and would take a stroll each day to the peach orchard southeast of the house and go see if the field corn was in tassel, and see if things were being done by the hired men and if the meadow south of the road would soon be ready to cut and so forth.

Merrick Murphy was born in Hartford CT on 2/7/1806, and died in Milwaukee, WI on 6/23/1900. Married first wife Louise Beaumont Beaumont 1833 in Maine. Three children, Justin in 1837, Rufus in 1839, and a third that couldnt be deciphered on the document. Second wife was Jerusha ***en in 1844. Had one daughter, Carrie, born in sept, 1859. Like I said, some of the names are same but dates are off. Sorry, Pat Murphy Hello: My cousin and brother did a family tree about 10 years ago, and I distinctly remember a Merrick Murphy...I thought je was buried in Forest Lawn cemetery in Milwaukee, WI. Turn of the century seems about right. My recollection is my branch of Murphys entered into US in New England (Connecticut?), moved to Milwaukee, WI, then to Indianapolis IN, and fin***y to Cincinnati, OH area which is gener***y where most of us now live. I am not sure this is of any value, so I will contact my brother and see if he has more definitive info. If I find any, I will post. Pat Murphy Cincinnati, OH ii. CARRIE MURPHY, b. 1872. 336.

Hopefully you can open Excel spreadsheets. This shows all of my lines, the Dodder's are branch #1. Someday I'll put it all on the web, but there is too much information to gather right now. I know you're not supposed to number your data until you're done, but I don't think I'll ever be done and how would anyone ever keep track of it all without a numbering system. I never imagined there were so many Dodder relatives when I started this journey 7 years ago. It's truly amazing. I've got my line down fairly well. As with most genealogies there are some assumptions. The one assumption in my Dodder line that haunts me, is Henry Dodder's wife Magdalena. Most information I've come across would lead you to believe that her maiden name is Ripley and I believed that for a long time. I now believe strongly that her maiden name is Sipley. The Sipley name is much more prevalent in Sussex and Warren counties than Ripley. I've also seen it listed on some of her children's probate information (not all) at the Louisa county courthouse. One of Magdalena's sisters named her son Henry Dodder Huff. Strange thing is that Henry D Huff married Lydia Tunison( from a different Dodder line, your line). I also believe that my great great grandfather Joseph H Dodder is Joseph Huff Dodder, not Joseph Henry. But I can't confirm that, it's just a hunch. Someday, I'll spend a week or two in NJ and see what I can find. I've connected with a few other people in email from Abraham's line also. It's good to hear from you again. Have you discovered anything new that isn't on your website? sincerely, Jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janice McCarty" To: Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2006 7:56 PM Subject: Re: Dodder Jon, Thank you for this copy of your correspondence with Cheryl. I will have to contact her and see what she may have that I don't. Thank you for referring her to my website. You are very gracious in your remarks. I have tried to assemble as much info on local history and family stuff that I have gleaned along the way from other's and from personal research as I guess you have seen. Do I have your line down pretty well. We are double distant cousins so that makes it all the more interesting! Thanks, Janice McCarty We just recently moved from AZ to WV......now that's a change!

Mary and Polly were used a lot as nicknames in those days. There were other variations in spelling of the Dutrow name - even as far removed as Tetherow, and her father, Tottero. (See her father's Card 4). Historical publications note that the Dutrow spelling variant was strong in the western Maryland region, particularly in Frederick County. - JAB 9/3/1995 ____________________________________ Author J.

Notes for NICHOLAS HOUPT/HAUPT: [Haupt by Bligh Jan 2002.FTW] [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 4, Ed. 1, Tree #0102, Date of Import: Jan 7, 2002] He is a Haupt descendant, but Houpt is on his gravestone. For some reason, this spelling change popped up relative to who is believed to be his father, Nicholas Haupt, aka Houp. See more on this on card 4 under Nicholas Haupt/Houp. His dad appears to be listed in the 1790 Census of Frederick County as Nicholas Houp. The census for the same county in 1820 lists a Nicholas Houp, Sr. and a Nicholas Houp, Jr. in the same household. There seems to have been a gradual change in their spelling over generations. The trend appears to be Haupt > Houp > Houpt starting with this ancester's grandfather, if we can prove that the grandfather was Johann Nicolas Haupt. The signs are stronger for this man than for others, yet solid proof is difficult. Joseph A. Bligh, 6/4/1993. with much input data from Nancy Kiddoo, New Jersey. _________________________________ Author J. A. Bligh shows another (typical) disagreement in his inputs from various contributers (meaning well, of course). One shows that Nicholas married Anna Maria "Mary/Polly" Dutrow; another shows that his FIRST wife was Mary Dutro and his SECOND wife was Anna Maria, Dutro being understood. So was he married twice or was he THOUGHT to have been married twice because of all the given names?

I remember seeing Bessie Odelle Yadon when I was very young in Linn Creek, MO. She was carrying wood when my father Norman Frank Yadon drove up to the house to visit with her. I believe she was in her 90's at that time. I knew her as Aunt Bessie because that is what my father called her. What relation was she actually to my father? Who were the parents of James Preston Yadon, my grandfather?

Preston Yadon & Harriett Cummins as James Preston Yadon's father. He was born Feb. 14, 1857 in Missouri and died, Dec. 31, 1939 in Richland Missouri. John is buried in Oaklawn Cemetery. He married Anna Eliza Boor on July 10, 1881. she was born Feb. 12, 1865 in Camden Co., Missouri and died, Dec. 26, 1958 in Richland, Pulaski County, MO. She is also buried in Oaklawn Cemetery. Ann and John had nine children. They are listed on pages 448 and 449 of the Yadon Book. There are pictures of both Ann Boor Yadon and John Carlyle Yadon on pages 451. You might ask Betty if she would post them here on the site. If you need the names of the 9 children, let me know. Bessie O. Yadon was born in 1888 and was the daughter of Hugh Evan Yadon and Martha E. Capps. Bessie married Melvin Chamberlain. Hugh and Martha are buried in the Old Linn Creek Cemetery. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Barbara Ramsey - Sep 26, 2004 View | Viewers | Reply to this item MY FATHER'S BROTHER MARRIED A YADON WHO IS RELATED TO MY MOTHER'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY. This is an early post which seems relevant to current conversations about Mary Ellen Capps Yadon. It also presents a tie between Judy Varner and myself (of sorts) that might be of interest to some. The nutshell is that I had an aunt by marriage who was a daughter of Hugh Yadon. Read on for the details. I was researching my father's line (Johnston) and typed in my 2nd great grandfather's name, "Adolphus Boone Johnston" at Gen Circles. I really wanted to go back from there and figuring it was an unusual name, it would turn up the right research groups. Instead, I found on the "match list" Adolphus Warner "Dolph" Johnston, which I immediately recognized as my father's half brother. I had always known him as "Dolph" or "Pete." I didn't realize that his complete name was Adolphus Warner Johnston b. 18 Nov, 1899 in Linn Creek, MO. I knew his wife's name was Frances, but what I didn't remember was that her full maiden name was Frances Ellen Yadon. The two were married 26, Dec. 1922 in Kansas City, MO. They had two children (my cousins whom I knew well) Douglas Allen Johnston and Donald Johnston. Douglas died last year in Lamar, MO of cancer. Donald & his family live in Texas. Anyway, I was excited that "aunt" Frances was a Yadon, so I started clicking to see if I could connect her to my mother's side of the Yadon family. sure enough, I did (I think). Frances's father was Hugh Evans Yadon, b. 19, May, 1848 in Linn Creek, Camden Co., MO d. 31 July, 1926 in Kansas City, MO Her mother was Martha Ellen Capps. (Hey Judy Varner, listen up!) Fran's brothers and sisters were: Armada Ann Yadon Ormar Calloway Yadon Bessie Odelle Yadon Julia Leo Yadon Zona Dean Yadon Joseph Vance Yadon Martha Ellen Capps b. April 1855 in MO was the daughter of Levi Capps and Frances Cyrus (this was getting more interesting by the minute! Are you with me, Jim Mills?) Martha, by the way, had two other children by an earlier marriage to Dallas Vance. These children were Nelson Vance and Oscar E. Vance. Anyway, Levi Capps, b. about 1825 in TN and d. in St. Louis, MO and his wife, Frances Cyrus had nine children including: Mary E. Capps John W. Capps Rebecca Capps Martha Ellen Capps William E. Capps Newton David Capps Jasper Lee Capps Sid Capps & Joseph Capps Newton David Capps was born 12 April 1866 in Camden Co., MO and died 29 Sept. 1947 in Kansas City, MO He married Maggie Bench in abt. 1887 She must have died because he then married Elizabeth Coffman(I know we have some Coffman connections in this group) Abt. 1897 in Camden Co., MO (here's another marriage for you, Michael Middleton) Their children were Lee Roy Capps Pearlie N. Capps Mae F. Capps Gloria V. Capps Back to Levi's wife, Frances Cyrus, b. 1828 in MO and died near Denison, TX. Her father was John William Cyrus b. abt 1803 in Tennessee and died in Camden Co, MO. HIs father was Nimrod Cyrus. John W. Cyrus married Elizabeth Williams (Ken K., are you listening?) They had 8 children including Martha Sarah Cyrus Frances Cyrus William V. Cyrus Rebecca Cyrus John Cyrus Christopher Nathan Cyrus Elizabeth Cyrus Sarah E. Cyrus. ( I found James Mills name referenced at this point.) I was working in the Gen Circles file called "Descendants of John Sires/Cyrus by John A. Mahey. He also left many notes and documentations for his work. Of this group, I noted that Martha Sarah Cyrus was b. 11 Jun 1825 in Grainger Co., TN (which was the home of the earliest Yadon's and some of the Evans, Capps and Moulders.) Martha married John W. Allison before 1846 in Camden Co., MO (adding yet another well known "family" line) They had 7 children: Frances E., James Allen, John W., Rebecca E., Benjamin F., Sarah Catherine and Lee Roy Allison. And now on to Nimrod Cyrus, the father of John William Cyrus and the son of Enoch Sires. He was born Abt. 1770 in North Carolina and married his wife, Frances (Unknown last name), in Grainger, TN. They had 11 children whom I will hold onto if anyone wants them. Enoch Sires was born abt 1757 in Virginia and he was the son of James Sires and Alcy (Alice) Siers. There are interesting notes about Enoch which I will not copy at this point, but it shows that he was in both Surry and Stokes Col NC in 1784. and in Gallia Co. OH in 1812. Things get a little vague at this point but James is shown to be the son of John Sires and Mary (unknown) Back to the Yadon clan. My aunt, Frances Ellen Yadon's sister. Zona Dean Yadon b. 11 July 1894 in Linn Creek, MO and died 17 Apr 1980 in Springfield, MO married Leonard D. Whitworth on 16 Sept, 1914 in Camden Co., MO. They had two children, Ross Yadon Whitworth and Joe Clarke Whitworth. (another of my dad's brothers, Vaughn William Johnston, married a Gertie Whitworth from Macks Creek, MO.) It was often said that, before the automobile, if you lived within 10 miles of someone, you were probably related to them in some way. One of Frances's brother's, Joseph Vance Yadon, married Zelma Juanita Webb. (some of the Webb's married into my mother's Osborn family). Zelma was born in 1901 in Higginsville, MO. and died in 1944 in Kansas City, MO. The only one of their children listed was Paul Keith Yadon. I also found this line (below) on the Ancestry World Tree of Pamela Goodall Hvizdos_Goodall@yahoo.com which takes Hugh Evans Yadon back to David Yadon. Of equal interest is that, apparently, Hugh Evans Yadon married twice - once to Martha Ellen Capps (parents of my aunt, Frances Ellen Yadon) and first or second to Amanda Josephine Brown from whom our website cousin, Martha Yadon descended. 1 David YADON + Nancy WILLIAMS 2 Joseph Calloway YADON b: 1812 d: 1854 + Julia Ann EVANS b: 1828 3 Emily Jane YADON b: Aug 1846 + Jacob WATERS + Thomas E.

A few years ago I posted the history of the divorce on this website. I have visited the graveyard where Hugh Yadon is buried. When the Lake of the Ozarks was built the original cemtary had to be moved. When you visit the cemetary there is a contact name posted I have forgotten her name, but she is also a great granddaughter of Hugh and Amanda her grandmother was Roxanne the older sister of Norman. We found the Hugh Yadon homestead. The foundation of the house was still there. It is next to a new resort http://www.4seasonsresort.com. While I was there I visited the Camden County Library and read a letter from one of my great aunt's, daughter, of Hugh and Martha ..it brought tears to my eyes. There had been a fire and their house was burned to the ground and they lived in a tent while it was being re-buiilt. She described how cold and wet it was.

Her father, David Sidwell was born about 1801 to William Sidwell and Mary Key in Cumberland County, Kentucky. David married Mary Ann Guthrie* in Kentucky before 1827. Their children are listed as follows: 1. William Sidwell .......... born 1825; married Sarah Abigail Hill; died 1904 2. George Sidwell .......... born 1825; (Twins?) died, about 1883 3. John Sidwell .............. born 1828; died 1913 4. Mary Sidwell ............. born about 1829 5. Loda Ann Sidwell ....... born 15 Feb 1839; married (1) Joseph Marion Yadon; (2) John Houston Lay 6. David Sidwell ............. born about 1842; married Nancy Jane Baker It is not known by this writer when the Sidwell family moved to Adair County, Missouri, but on 14 April 1855 she married Joseph Marion Yadon. They had three children: 1. William Thomas Yadon .......... born 15 Jul 1856; married Mary E. Baker; died 1938 in Bozeman, Gallatin, Montana. 2. Mary Jane Yadon .................. born 5 Aug 1858; married John Wesley Cline; died 31 Oct 1918 in Bozeman, Gallatin, Montana 3. Milla Keats Yadon ................. born 31 Jan 1861; died about 1862 Husband Joseph Marion Yadon enlisted in the Confederate forces when the Civil War started and for many years everyone had thought he died 4 July 1863. Loda Ann married husband # 2, John Houston Lay ..... born 7 Apr 1825 Grainger County, Tennessee in 1864 and they had the following children: 1. George Lay ........................ born 11 Sep 1866; married Grace S. Easton 2. Loda Ann "Sis" Yadon ........ born 1868; married George Wortman; died 1885, Montana 3. Harriet M. "Hattie" Lay ........ born 7 Apr 1870; died Fulton, Missouri 4. Bertha Nora Lay ................. born 17 Oct 1873; married Charles Tudor, 18 Nov 1890; died Montana 6. Magdaline "Maggie" Lay ..... born 1 May 1876; married George Monger, 29 Mar 1894; died Montana There are two stories about the wagon train trip west to Montana. My father, Lloyd Earl "Bill" McNamer. always said they came over the Bozeman Trail in the late 1870's and Dad was always a history buff and usually had his information correct. The one story does not give the route they followed as the Bozeman Trail, but it does mention Buffalo, Wyoming, and that settlement was an important stop on the Bozeman Trail. That journey started in 1882. The other story has the date of May 8, 1878 as the date of starting out on the journey. July 31, 1878 is the date given when that writer stayed in Virginia City, Montana, so the rest of the wagon train reached the Bozeman, Montana area after the 1st of August. Both trains had Lay families traveling with them, however, the 1882 date has Mr. and Mrs. John Lay and five children listed. There is no mention, however, of the William Thomas Yadon family or the John Wesley Cline family and they alledgedly went to Montana with the John Houston Lays. John and Loda Ann cound not forget Missouri, so they returned with their son George. In later years Loda Ann returned to Montana alone and died there in 1918. I wish I had known about my gggrandmother, Loda Ann when I was a young girl living in Bozeman, Gallatin, Montana. I know where her daughter Mary Jane is buried, as I was allowed to go to her funeral when she passed away in April 1947 and have been to her gravesite many times. If I had only known, according to the map I recieved from the wife of one of Loda Ann's Lay descendants, I would have visited it, as it is, I have been within only a few feet from her grave. Hopefully next year we can plan a trip to the Bozeman area, either on our way to Iowa to see my husband's mother, or on the way home. I plan to stay a couple of days or so and so some searching for other Yadon, Lay and McNamer information. Anita McNamer Struble >Grace Simmons - Aug 5, 2004 I am the great grand daughter of Loda Ann Lay Wortman. If I am reading this right, it says she died in Montana. Loda Ann is buried in Patterson cemetery in Patterson, California. I do have a picture of her headstone. The exact date of death was 24 October 1948. Patterson is in Stanislaus County. Her husband, George Washington Wortman is also buried there. Grace Children of JOSEPH YADON and LODA SIDWEL are: i. WILLIAM THOMAS8 YADON, b. July 15, 1856; d. 1938, Bozeman, Gallatin, Montana; m.

He was the seventh born in a family of eight. His early boyhood and youth were spent at home attending school and in fitting himself for an active business career. At the age of fifteen he entered the college at Bourbon, Indiana, where he remained two years and where he finished the education begun in the common schools. Becoming a clerk in the business house of Lawerence, Matchett & Co., in Bourbon, after finishing his educational training, he remained in that position five years and then went to Nolin, Hardin County, KY, where he engaged in a successful business for himself, in 1892 returning to Mendon, and establishing the business in which he has ever since been engaged. The handsome business block in which his business is conducted he erected in 1895. It is 80 X 90 feet in dimensions. In this room he has the most complete general store imaginable, and many a town larger than Mendon is without as fine a place of business. The second story is utilized as an opera house, and many villages larger than this might well envy it its possession of so commodious and elegant a place of entertainment. To this Mr. Upton gives his personal attention, as well as to his general store. * from Family Tree Maker CD450 County and Family Histories: Ohio Disk rm Vol. I, Biographical History of Mercer Co., Children of THOMAS UPTON and ETTIE HAMILTON are: i.

Notes for MARGARET ANN SYNDER: SPECIAL POEM FOR SENIOR CITIZENS A row of bottles on my shelf Caused me to analyze myself. One yellow pill I have to pop Goes to my heart so it won't stop. A little white one that I take Goes to my hands so they won't shake. The blue ones that I use a lot Tell me I'm happy when I'm not. The purple pill goes to my brain and tells me that I have no pain. The capsules tell me not to wheeze Or cough or choke or even sneeze. The red ones, smallest of them all Go to my blood so I won't fall. The orange ones, very big and bright Prevent my leg cramps in the night. Such an array of brilliant pills Helping to cure all kinds of ills. But what I'd really like to know........... Is what tells each one where to go! Old Poem sent from Midge Cozza Children of MARGARET SYNDER and JEROME ARNOLD are: 632. i. NORA9 ARNOLD, b. June 28, 1870, Addison Twp, Oakland, MI; d.

She had long been a sufferer and about six weeks ago was taken to the hospital at Owosso where she underwent a very severe operation hoping therby to obtain relief from her malady, but the dreaded disease had done its awful work, and although all that loving friends and medical skill could do, was done her frail body could not withstand, and passed to the great beyond. There are left to mourn her departure, her loving husband, two sons, Jacob and Ernest Collins of Durand, three grandchildren, three sisters, four brothers, and a very large circle of friends. *Info from Mary Ann Schaefer Notes for SAMUEL EDWARD SMITH: According to a book in Michigan at the library, Annie married Samuel Edward Robinson. I had orginally had Edward Smith. Ed received his education in the district schools and worked on the home farm during the summer months. He lived at home until he was thirty-five years of age, then moved to his own farm of ninety-four acres in Argentine township, where he spent four years. On April 9, 1901, when he married Annie Dodder, he moved to his present excellent farm of two hundred acres, where he has since successfully carried on general farming and stock raising. His wife is a daughter of Jacob S. Dodder, who moved from Oakland county to Argentine township as a pioneer. Politically, Mr. Smith is a Democrat. He is a past noble grand of Linden Lodge No. 276, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and is a member of the grand lodge of that order. He is active in the work of the lodge and is one of the best known members of that fraternity in Genesee county. *History of Genessee County, Michigan by Wood-Page 227 and 228 His parents: In the book Portrait and Biographical Record on page 787, is the Biography of Samuel Smith, who owned 400 acres of improved land on sections 2, 11, and 12, Argentine Twn in Genesee Co and was a native of Ireland and was born in the year 1822. In 1843 he sailed to NYC . The trip took six weeks. He went to Oswego, NY and worked as a farm hand for several years. He bought a farm but sold it in 1853 and moved to Michigan to locate near Grand Blanc where he lived for about three years. He purchased property on section 12 in Argentine Twn in 1856 and built a log house. In December of 1848 on the 27th he married Margaret Robinson who was also a native of Ireland. They had Phillip, Jane, James, Edward, Archie, Albert and Eliza. Catherine died young. They were members of the Episcopal Church. A picture of their farm is in the book. Children of ANNIE DODDER and LANTZ COLLINS are: 645. i. JACOB9 COLLINS, b. August 26, 1889. ii. ERNIE COLLINS, b. August 26, 1891; d. 1967; m. ANNA. iii. FRANK F. COLLINS, b. 1892; d. 1918. Notes for FRANK F. COLLINS: Now, I would like to add that it seems Annie DID have a third child, named Frank F Collins, 1892-1918. He is clearly listed in the 1900 census with his mother, who is on that census listed as Divorced (one of the earliest times I have seen that marital status on a census). Also she (Annie and 3 Collins sons) are living right next door to parents Jacob and Sarah. Must have been a hard time.... Any way, dates I have for Ernest are b. 1894 d. 1967. For Jacob S., I have b. 1889 but so far can't find death. *Info Mary Ann Schaefer 479. GENEVIEVE8 DODDER (JACOB STRUBLE7, PETER HENRY6, HENRY5, JACOB4 DODDERER, BERNARD3, GEORG PHILIP DUDDRA2, HANS1) was born January 31, 1866, and died October 08, 1949 in Linden, Michigan. She married GEORGE JUDSON April 09, 1884 in Genesee County, Michigan. He was born 1862, and died April 30, 1931 in Genesse County, Michigan. Notes for GENEVIEVE DODDER: She hosted the first Dodder reunion on August 14, 1927. There were 94 people there. Medical Information: She was not sick in bed at all. She had been having terrible night sweats, so severe that she had to take the bed outside to dry it. Note: She hosted the first Dodder reunion on August 14, 1927. There were 94 people there. Genevieve's father was Jacob Dodder who came to Argentine from New Jersey. Jacob had about 500 acres in sections 14, 15, and 23 in Argentine. In 1872 and 1873, he held the office of township-treasurer. From 1874 to 79 he was the supervisor of this twp. He was Justice of the Peace in 1864 and Commissioner of Highways in 1860. In the early days, it took a week to go to town and back for supplies. There would be pies in the pantry to eat, but you could only take from those that were all ready cut. They had servants, but when Jacob came home, no matter what the time was, the boys had to come out and take care of the horses and carriage. They each had to take turns getting up in the morning to light the fire. He married Sarah Mann in Holly, MI prior to settling in Argentine. Genevieve had nine brothers and sisters who were all born in Argentine Township. Notes for GEORGE JUDSON: George was supervisor of Argentine Township for several years. Argentine dates its history as a township from 1837. *Info from the August 18, 1927, Flint Journal's article on the First Dodder Family reunion. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Biography: Added by schnewsltr on 30 Aug 2009 Originally submitted by PeterMaas55 to The Linden Tree on 3 Nov 2008 George Judson was born in Argentine Twp., in 1862 of English and Dutch parentage. He was graduated from the Fenton High School. He taught District school 14 years at Argentine. In early manhood, he married Miss Vevie (Genevieve) Dodder, the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Dodder. He has always engaged in farming. In his first year he represented his township on the board of supervisors, he was appointed a member of the committee on equallization. For many years in succession, he remained a member of this committee, and in 1927 he was elected chairman of the board. He also served as chairman in 1923. At the time that Mr. Judson was first elected a member of the board of supervisors, the county's poor were taken care of throught the county's system. Under this system, Argentine's apportionment of the poor fund tax was $1,200 annually. Supervisor Judson was instrumental in bringing about the township system, wherin each township took care of its own poor. Under this system, Argentines tax was reduced to an average of less than $200 annually, or a saving of over $1000 in this item alone. In the fall session of supervisors in 1902, Judson proposed that $100,000 be raised for the construction of a court house. This was carried and in 1923, when he was elected chairman, he had the responsibility of the construction of the courthouse. The courthouse was built for $72,000, and with the remaining $28,000, the old jail building was constructed, with the sheriff's residence included within its walls. The County Building was burned in 1923. In 1904, the Gaines elevator business, which Mr. Judson had purchased, occupied so much of his time that he refused to become a candidate. In later years he disposed of the elevator and since 1923, had been nominated and elected each year for Argentine Supervisor. He was a member of Linden Commandery, Knight's Templar, and for five years he was master of Linden Lodge No. 132 F. & A. M. While he was chairman of the board of supervisors and the courthouse was being constructed, he was also Master of Linden's Lodge which was at the same time constructing its lodge rooms. One of Mr. Judson's prized possessions was the old clock, the bell of which infallably tolled the hours away in the various make-shift meeting places of the old-time gatherings of Genesee County's legislators. The clock was presented to Mr. Judson when the new county building of 1923-24 was completed. http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/11610382/gallery/stories Mary Ann Schaefer's site --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instrument: 193104300000008 Volume Page: D2 204 Document Type: DEATH CERTIFICATE Deceased: JUDSON , GEORGE Date of Death: 04/30/1931 Local File No: 3 ---------------------------- MANGLED BODY FOUND BESIDE G. T. TRACKS Added by schnewsltr on 30 Aug 2009 Originally submitted by PeterMaas55 to The Linden Tree on 3 Nov 2008 Flint Journal, April 30, 1931: MANGLED BODY FOUND BESIDE G. T. TRACKS--- George Judson, 69 years old. Genesee County Supervisor from Argentine Twp., was killed by a Grand Trunk train between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. today at the crossing near his home in Argentine Twp. Mr. Judson was first elected supervisor in 1899, when he was 37 years old, and has served his township several terms in that office. The body was found at 5:30 a.m. this morning lying on the east side of the Grand Trunk track, 40 rods from the Argentown twp. line. The discovery of the body was made my O. J. Arsenault and Loren Rye, neighbors, who live in the vicinity and were enroute to their work in Flint. The mutilated body was fully clothed when found by the two neighbors. The authorities were notified and Deputy Sheriff Rolland Harrow and Dr. C. W. Colwell, coroner, went to the scene of the accident. Harrow identified the body as that of Supervisor Judson. Dr. Colwell impanneled the following jury, all residents of gaines; M. J. Smith, Rudd Shepard, J. J. Glebe, Fred W. McCann, Fred B. Mund, E. J. Van Auken, and William B. Cozad. An inquest will probably be held next Wednesday at Durand, it was stated by the coroner. When mrs. Judson was told of the finding of her husband's body, she said she awakened at 5;30 but was not alarmed at Mr. Judson's absence as he was in the habit of arising early to do the chores. The belief is advanced by the officers that Judson was hit when he crossed the railroad tracks at the crossing near his home, either by extra freight No. 22 at 3:00 a.m., which took a siding at that point, or by the westbound fast passenger train at 1:54 a.m. He leaves his wife and five sons. Jacob, of Ann Arbor, Bishop of Royal Oak, Nye of Keego Harbor, Archie of Argentine, and Ephraim. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a monument on Torrey Road in Genessee County, Michigan that says 'Original 1934 Podunk 1/4 mile east site of George Judson's mill and the settlement of Podunk so named by Indians awed by the mills wearisome old song, podunk, podunk, podunk and put up by the Fenton Historical society. ______________ In the Portrait and Biographical Record page 1049, it says that Silas B. Judson was a native of Connecticut and born of English parents and his son George Judson was born in Butternuts, Otsego Co., NY, November 7, 1810. His son Benjamin was born in Mundy Township, Genessee County, April 2, 1845 and his father, George took up land from the Government as early as 1834 in Genessee County. Benjamin was married to Mary E. Hewitt on January 23, 1869. I wonder if wonder if this family ties into this George Judson. Children of GENEVIEVE DODDER and GEORGE JUDSON are: i.

How sad. Also that he said his father was born in Michigan and his mother in Indiana. That is interesting. His mom and dad were actually both born in New Jersey...........hmm. Morgan was born in about 1868 according to his headstone. So, that make it this Morgan, in 1920, he would have been 52. He married Mary Gillespie, whose mom and dad were both Gillespie's. They were cousins. Her dad was the Treasurer of Argentine Twn. Apparently, Morgan's wife died early at age 37 and the kids had to be split up with family. Little Annabel and sister Dorothy went clear to Racine, Wisconsin to live with their aunt Sarah. Dorothy had trouble with her legs and they had to be massaged quite often. Annabel was 3 and Dorothy 1, when their mother died. Little Maynard was 5, Morgan was 10, In my Annabel notes it says that her father Morgan spent some time in jail...........Grover was 12, Harriet was 14, Alexander was 15 and Harold was 16.

Battle Creek City Directory 1921 has Howell as an employee of Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake Co, res 80 Michigan av S. He ran away at the age of 16 to Overbrook, Kansas and stayed with uncle Silas. Grandpa Jacob went to Overbrook and brought him back to Michigan. He ran away again to Chicago, Illinois to grandpa Ernest Mann. Grandpa Jacob again went and brought him home. He was not included in the family inheritance. Family rumor was that his parents did not approve of his spouse.

His was injured when a horse kicked him in 1925 and he never fully recovered. He was a member of the YMCA in 1911. One family story is that a horse of his died during harvest time and the neighbors complained. An officer came out and told him to bury the horse. He handed him a shovel and told him if he wanted it done now, he could do it himself. It was harvest time and after he was done, he would take care of the horse. He named his son Jacob, born in November of 1903 after his father who died in April of 1903. His obituary reads: Howell Dodder, 73 [74], died at 11:45 pm Thursday in his home at 260 Cedardale Avenue, after a short illness.

The Grand Trunk Railway.--This road may very properly be ranked as one of the most stupendous works of modern engineering, far surpassing in vastness and expense any mechanical work ever undertaken on this continent, and ranking with the wonderful efforts of the ancient nations of the East. This great railway, the longest continuous road in the world, was completed to the city of Detroit in November, 1858, making, with the exception of the ferry across the St. Clair river, at Port Huron, an unbroken line of rail, upwards of one thousand miles in extent, connecting the city of Detroit, Michigan, with that of Portland, Maine. Being of uniform gauge, no change of cars is necessary from Sarnia (opposite Port Huron, on the Canadian side of the St. Clair river) to Portland; and being also under the management of one corporation, it affords better facilities for the prosection of passengers and the preservation of their baggage than where they are required to pass over lines under the control of different, and perhaps conflicting corporations. Having only one set of officers quartered upon its exchequer, it can afford to do business at lower proportionate rates, than a number of shorter lines, each having a different set to salary, while the delay and vexation which not unfrequently arise from short routes, being compelled to wait upon each others’ movements, will all be avoided, which is certainly no small consideration both to passengers and shippers. If there is a dereliction of duty in the transmission of freight, shippers have their remedy. If baggage is lost, there is no trouble required to determine where the responsibility rests, as is the case where it passes over a number of different roads. The completion of this stupendous bond of connection between the eastern and western states, Canada and Europe, renders markets available which were before difficult of access, and enables far distant countries to exchange their products at all seasons. The Grand Trunk may be called the first section of the Pacific Railroad, as it already communicates with the Mississippi through Michigan, Illinois and [p.45] Wisconsin railroads, and we expect to see the line completed from the Mississippi to California. It is not easy to form an estimate of the amount of traffic and intercourse that the eleven hundred miles of Grand Trunk Railway will bring to Michigan and the neighboring states. A junction has been formed with that model of western lines, the Michigan Central, by which freight and passengers reach Chicago and the numerous lines which diverge from that city. It is probable that another junction will be made with the Detroit and Milwaukee Railway, by means of a branch from Port Huron to Owosso. In this case there will be a direct line across Michigan connecting with the Milwaukee railroads by the ferry across the lake, and penetrating into Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and Oregon, by lines which have not yet been traced on the railway maps of the United States. The direct connection that Michigan now enjoys, by means of this road, with the Atlantic seaboard, at the fine harbor of Portland, is a matter of the most vital importance. Our state can now be supplied with the valuable products of the West Indies and other foreign ports,at a decidedly cheaper rate than can the states nearer the seaboard, but access to which is restricted by imperfect modes of communication.database: Full Context of Michigan Gazetteer, 1839 ADDISON township, Oakland county, is comprised of township five north, or range eleven east. Statistics as per census.--Population 343.--A grist mill, 2 saw mills. Oakland is remarkable for the great quantity of its hydraulic power, especially on the Rouge and the branches or Red river, Clinton river, Paint and Stony creeks, and the extreme branches of the Huron. Many of the mill sites are improved, and, comparatively speaking, there is considerable manufacturing, of different kinds, done in the county. Although there are some unsold public lands, they are mostly taken up. It is embraced in the Detroit Land district. Oakland elects six representatives, and is included in the third senatorial district, which elects three senators to the State legislature. Population, 20,176. Is bounded on the north by Mackinac county, east by Montcalm, south by the counties of Kent and Ottawa, and west by Ottawa and Lake Michigan. It is unorganized, and attached to Kent for judicial purposes. It contains an area of 834 square miles. The rivers are the Rouge, Maskegon, and White. It is said to contain a body of excellent land, but it is possession [p.235] of the Indians--though in progress of survey. It is embraced in the Grand River Land District. (See Ottawa county.) Is bounded on the north by Oceana, east by Kent and Oceana, south by Allegan, and west by Lake Michigan. It was organized in 1837, and contains about 794 square miles. The Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad This road is now in successful operation from East Saginaw to Mt. Morris, six miles north of Flint, to which place it will undoubtedly be completed this fall. Although entirely unconnected with any other line of road, it is doing a paying business, and has contributed largely toward the success of the towns in the Saginaw Valley. A brief history of the road may not be uninteresting to many of our readers. In 1856, when congress adopted a general system of donation of the public lands in the western state to aid in the construction of railroads, lands were granted to this state for a similar purpose. At the session of the legislature in the winter [p.44] of 1857, these lands were conferred upon the Pere and Marquette Railroad Company, which surveyed the route of its road from Flint to Per Marquette, in the country of Mason, upon the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, a distance of one hundred and seventy-two miles, and located the line of it in the summer of 1857. It will be recollected that in September of that year, the commercial world was fearfully convulsed, and owing to the constant disasters, the work of construction was not commenced until the fall of 1858. In the following year some thirteen miles of the road were graded, and five miles of track was laid with Michigan iron, manufactured at Wyandotte. The next year, 1858, the work of grading was continued, but the financial difficulties of the times were such as to preclude the company from obtaining their iron that season, so as to extend the track. In 1860 the time had expired wherein the company were to complete the first twenty miles of the road, so as to entitle it to the benefit of the law of the state conferring upon the companies the lands granted by congress to aid in its construction. In this dilemma, with the apprehension of a possible forfeiture being declared by the state, such assurances of good will that no advantage or exception would be taken if the company would prosecute the enterprise in good faith, that the contractors were induced to proceed and complete the first twenty-six and a half miles of the route, as we have before stated. The inception of the enterprise is mainly attributed to Mr. M. L. Drake, of Oakland county, and its execution to the good judgment and energetic enterprise of Mr. Samuel Farwell, of Utica, New York.

Number of children, of this mother, living 2. In the Probate court: County of Iosco on May 8,th 1847 [signed by Judge of Probate]. Recorded and filed in Michigan Department of Health. According to Bobbie [Roberta E. Petitt] she says that Mary Bassett Dodder's middle name should be Elizabeth and that Rachel Dodder named her daughter Mary Pickard [my mom calls her Mary Pick] after Mary Bassett Dodder. And Bobbie named her daughter, Mary Elizabeth Gooding, after her great aunt Mary Pickard. Perhaps that is the way it should have been written on the delayed registration of birth. Mary was a packer at Postum Cereal Co Inc., at 23 Marjorie [Battle Creek City Directory 1921]. She also was an employee at Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake Co., resident 80 Michigan av S. Of Interest: It was said that when she prayed, things happened. Once when her garden was needing rain, she prayed and it rained only on her garden, no where else. Mary was a born again Baptist. In a letter dated June 4, 1944, which she wrote to her youngest daughter, Helen "Babe", she wrote: "*St. John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8, 9, First John 1:9, First John 1:7, St. John 5:24, Romans 10: 9, 10-13, and St. Matthew 11:28. These, dearest daughter, are just a few of the precious promises, look these up, mark them on the fly leaf of your Bible and keep these for ready references, and remember mom prays for you each day that you and George may both accept the Lord, and be baptized, that you may both become true born again Christians, and on your way to Heaven." [I have a copy of the letter. JLW-McCarty] She taught her children to know the Lord, gave them scripture, and prayed for them. In her 1925 calendar diary, she wrote that she weighed 165 and was 5' #' tall and wore size 4-1/2 shoe. She was living in Bellevue, Michigan and her Dr. was Dr. Wessou. Mary kept several diaries which are very interesting. I [JLWM] have several copies of them. She was a hard worker and loved to get letters from her children after they left home. She writes in one letter later in her life of having to dress and get ready 6 or 7 chickens a day to sell to a hospital to earn extra money. What a chore! She writes of it being so cold they could hardly get the wood stove to start up! *St. John 3:16- For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotton Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Ephesians 2:8,9- For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. 1John 1:9- If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:7- But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. St. John 5:24- Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into comdemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Romans 10:9--13- That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. St. Matthew 11:28 Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. In a book called, 'Praise and Victory Songs', there is a note written from Mary. It says, 'To my Lois and Betty girls, please learn to sing a lot of thes hymns so we can sing them together when I come down.' Your grandma. This was in the pamplet that was handed out at my [Janice Wertenberger] great grandma Mary Bassett Dodder's funeral. She was a converted Christian. In My Father's House No, not cold beneath the grasses, Not close-walled within the tomb; Rather, in my Farther's mansion, Living in another room. Living, like the one who loves me, Like my child with cheeks abloom, Out of sight, at desk or school-book, Busy in another room. Shall I doubt my Father's mercy? Shall I think of death as doom, Or the stepping o'er the threshold To a bigger, brighter room? Shall I blame my Father's wisdom? Shall I sit enswathed in gloom, When I know my loves are happy, Waiting in the other room?

EARNEST JACOB8 DODDER (JACOB STRUBLE7, PETER HENRY6, HENRY5, JACOB4 DODDERER, BERNARD3, GEORG PHILIP DUDDRA2, HANS1) was born September 23, 1878 in Argentine, Michigan, and died November 07, 1925 in Portland, Oregon. He married VIOLET C. WHITMER December 23, 1903. She was born May 15, 1885. Notes for EARNEST JACOB DODDER: Sarah Mann Dodder, Earnest's mother gave him a book called 'History of Genesee County in which we find three pages at least concerning the Dodder family. Earnest's wife Violet gave the book to Leah Dodder Culver who in turn gave it to Betty Culver Wertenberger who in turn gave it to me, Janice Wertenberger McCarty. Here is some of the history outlined in the book starting on page 22. In the year 1836, a council was held at Washington by Henry R. Schoolcraft, U. S. Commissioner, with principal chiefs of the Chippewa and Ottawa nations, by which those nations ceded to the U. S. all the remaining part of the lower peninsula to which the Indian title had not held before [except for a few reservations]. The treaty was signed On he 28th of March and proclaimed on the 27th of May 1836. In 1837, the treaty was amended on the 27th of December in which the tribe was given land near the headwaters of the Osage river, right where the city of Flint now stands. Jacob Smith owned land that was granted to him in the treaty of 1819. He had married a Chippewa. He was a German and a native of Quebec, Canada. He came into the area before the war of 1812 began. That was about the time that Tecumseh had everything up to a high pitch. He worked with the Saginaw Indians to see what side they would take. They were found out at one point and had to flee for their lives. They fled through where Flint now stands and down to the area where Groveland is around the Big Springs where he and his companions separated. Jacob when going through a thicket received an eye injury which caused him to go blind in that eye. His wife died in 1817. In 1819, he built near the place Flint now stands. He had a home and store in a log house, which stood near the river band on the 'burnt plain' of Muscatawingh. Jacob Smith was known as Wahbesin, which means the young swan. He was a kind, generous and honest man. He was very brave and loyal to the United States. He was very good friends with the Saginaw chief Neome, from the village of Pewonigowink. Neome had a brother named Mixanene who had a daughter Tawcumegoqua who married in 1830 an Indian Kahzheauzagh and they had three children. Neome had three children, two girls named, Sagosaqua and Owanonaquatoqua, and a son Ogibwok and a grandson named Metawanene. In 1820 President Monroe had the eleven tracts surveyed and located on both sides of the Flint River at its southernmost bend, at and near the Indian crossing place known as the Grand Traverse. The north tracts were owned primarily by Jacob Smith and one tract on the south by Catharine Mene, Phillis Beaufait, Jean Visger, F. E. Campau. When Jacob Smith died in 1825 at the Grand Traverse, he left 5 children. He lived in Res. No. 2 called Metawanene on the north and right of the southern most bend of the Flint River. Major John Garland [later a general] and Jacob's son in law took possession after Jacob's death. In 1835, Jacob's son Albert J. Smith acted on behalf of his three surviving sisters and the heirs of his deceased sister Caroline and took possession of the land of Metawanene in 1835. The sisters were named Messawwakut or Harriet M. Smith, Sagosequa or Caroline Smith, Annoketoqu, or Louisa L. Smith and Nondashmau or Maria G. Smith and Albert or Metawanene. The justice of the peace for Oakland county in 1835 was Ephraim S. Williams, Esquire. He had a brother Gardner D. Williams. A Thomas Simpson or Lixaboga was living there with the Chippewas to teach them agriculture at the expense of the government. Two interpreters there were Jacob Gravradt and Charles H. Rodd. Ephraim spoke excellent Chippewa. The head Chippewa chief there at the time was Chief Ogemawkeketo. A big dispute arose over the land and a trial had to be held to determine the rightful owners. Other early settlers in the area were, a French trader named Bolieu or Kesegans and married a Chippewa woman, his daughter was Angelique or Tawcumegoqua who married a Frenchman named Coutant and settled near Connor's Creek, in Hamtramck, Wayne County. They had two children, Simon and Angelique Coutant. Angelique married Nicholas Chauvin. After Coutant died, married Jean Baptiste St. Aubin. . He had a few assistant or Coureurs de bois [forest runners] with him. Another French trader was Tremble [Trembley]. Conrad Ten Eyck was a trader around the time Jacob Smith was. Louis Campau was a trader around 1815. His brother, Antoine came about the same time and Baptiste Cochios had his trading post on the Flint River. General Riley of Schenectady, NY came close after the war of 1812-1815. Archibald Lyons married an indian and one of his daughters was named Elizabeth. Henry Conners was an interpreter at the treaty held in 1819 Mr. Williams wrote that the Saginaws would congregate every spring to put up dried sturgeon, which they made into a very delicate dish. They would select the best, flay them, hang them across poles in rows about four feet from the ground and two feet apart, then a gentle smoke was kept under them until they were perfectly dry. Jacob Dodder and Sarah Mann came to Michigan, Oakland County in 1837, from New Jersey with their parents. Notes for VIOLET C.
