Updated September 6, 2000We are researching a number of surnames including: NOVY, PISKULA, CINADR, RUSNACK, POLEDNA, PRZYBYLSKI, MYERS, BURGOYNE, WEAVER, HENDERSON,REESE, PENICK, SOULE, BEAN or BEENE, WIGGINS, and WHEELER.My husband's ancestors immigrated to the Cleveland, OH area between 1882-1892.The immigrants included Frank NOVY who married Mary Louise PRZYBYLSKI, Andrew RUSNACK who married Helen LEAZAR, Vaclav/James PISKULA who married Barbara POLEDNA and Vaclav CINADR whomarried Marie BICAN.Many descendants still live in the Cleveland area today.Many of my ancestors came to this country much earlier. In fact I just discovered Mayflower ancestors!William WHEELER was born in approximately 1670 (possibly here, possibly in England)Edward PENICK was first identified in about 1686 in VA at the birth of his son.Gideon or Egidius MEYER immigated to Berks Co., PA in about 1739 from Germany with his father Johannes MEYER and other family membersDaniel WEAVER immigated to OH in approximately 1857, from Switzerland according to family legend, settled in OH and married Adeline CLICK.Elizabeth Isabel HENDERSON and her parents JOHN HENDERSON and Margery RAMSHAW immigrated in 1879 from England and settled in Jefferson Co., OHWilliam BEAN was my earliest known BEAN ancestor, was in the US at least by 1721.I descend from his son John (not William Bean, the Pioneer)My line of Beans changed their names to BEENE in later years.Samuel WIGGINS came to the US from Canada between 1856-1876 and married Miranda SOULE in Michigan.Miranda is a descendant of Mayflower passengers George SOULE, William and Susanna WHITE, Peregrine WHITE and others.I would very much like to find Samuel WIGGINS' parents!Samuel Theodore REESE was born in OH in 1852.He married Virginia Burgoyne in 1875 in Brooke Co. WV.I would really like to get further information on both of these lines.I think it very likely that Samuel is the son of John B. REESE (although I can't prove the connection yet).I have not yet discovered Virginia's parents names.I would appreciate hearing from anyone who can make a connection to any of these lines.I would be more than happy to share any information that I may have! | |
