I realized that the reason I haven't posted very often to this list is because I post all the public Auvil information I find on my website: http://www.auvil.com/auville.htm But I will start using this list for announcements when I update my pages. I have some new Auvil census info on my history page: http://www.auvil.com/history.htm And I will post any information that might contain private information (like a recent obituary) to the new private Auvil mailing list. I've also started a new John and Catherine Cox Auvil mailing list that I hope will be useful for people who are particularly interested in this family. Information about subscribing to all the Auvil mailing lists is here: http://www.auvil.com/auvilmail.htm Catherine Auvil in Olympia

Searching the Morman site, I find John Auvil(Auville) B Jul 1820 PA, D 1909 Tucker Cty. WV. Parents Daniel Able and Susan Hatfield. Daniel Able was christened in Evang. Luth. Ch, Frederick, MD. in 1781. All of their alleged children were born in PA and no reference to being Lutheran. Auville may be a French name and I find it hard to believe that Able was changed to Auville. This may be an incorrect connection. Richard L. Carpenter

WV, 11/24/35 [Bowie, MD] A little item which we found in our research was that when some of my Auvil ancestors in West Virginia [perhaps it was still part of Va at that time] went out to the woods to harvest maple syrup they took fatback and whiskey with them for sustenance. I assume not Lewis Napoleon as he became a minister. Gene

As you probably already know, this is a very small list and not very busy. There are currently 9 subscribers to the AUVIL mailing list: 7 in list mode and 2 in digest. I'd like to try and give the list a boost by asking everyone to post something about their Auvils. It may be a query, an observation, a transcription of a document, etc. -- whatever appeals to you. Being a small list makes it a little more difficult to get the discussion started. Won't you please help get the ball rolling? Carla Cegielski Auvil-L listowner

One of our subscribers has announced the creation of several new mailing lists for Auvil and Abel researchers. I would just like to make it clear that this list is not being discontinued. You may choose to join the new lists, remain on this list, or subscribe to both. Thank you. Carla Cegielski Auvil-L list owner

I've created a new webpage that will, hopefully, make it easier to subscribe to the Auvil genealogy mailing list. http://www.auvil.com/auvilmail.htm I hope all of you will subscribe if you have not already. I have also created a mailing list especially for the descendants of John Auvil, Simeon Hannibal Auville and one for those interested in following the Abel family link. Please let me know if you have any problems or suggestions. Catherine Auvil in Olympia c@auvil.com

There are more records up at the Mormon site. I searched for Auvil and in the box at the right I chose IGI/Continental Europe and there was a record! - Jacques Auvil Marriage: 19 Feb 1732 Lonny, Ardennes, France hmmm Catherine in Washington

Who is this Henry Christopher Auvil? http://www.auvil.com/historyofdavis.htm I can't find him in my family tree chart. thanks Catherine Auvil

I think I finally found something useful: Magdalena Koller and Johannes Weber were sponsors at the christening of Johannes Abel (Jr.)b. 2 Jan 1783, bp. 2 March 1783. Evangelical Lutheran Church, Frederick, MD After Paul Abel's death in 1773, his wife Maria Magdalena "Leany" Abelin married Jacob Koller on August 19, 1775. Catherine Auvil Olympia, WA, USA

I asked the Daughters of the American Revolution if anyone has verified Johannes' military service through them. I also asked about Henry Cronise who served with Johannes: Hi Catherine, I'm sorry to say that there is no Johannes Abel (or similar spelling) listed in the DAR Patriot Book. This doesn't mean that he didn't serve - just that no one has used him as a patriot for DAR membership. (Henry Cronise is listed in the DAR Patriot Book.) Good luck with your search! Sorry I couldn't substantiate this for you. Jerri Catherine Auvil Olympia, WA, USA

Melinda kindly looked up Abel in a book she has about Frederick. She sent me this: "The book 'In and Out of Frederick Town: Colonial Occupations' by Any Lee Huffman Reed and Marie LaForge Burns, 1985 there is a nice section about glass manufacturies. Included in this section is information about the Tuscarora Glassworks and the Abels. Joseph Doll opened an account for "Mister Aable at the Glasshouse," but the account shows no debits or credits, and it is the only one in the ledger that is not dated. The use of "mister" is unusual, for Doll knew the first names of his regular customers. Either Doll did not know Mister Aable well, or his position at the glasshouse was one of importance. The correct spelling of the name is "Abel", and three men named Abel possibly could have been the man in the ledger. Paul Abel and his family came into Frederick County from West Jersey. Though Paul Abel did not lease or buy land, he lived in the area near the glasshouse, for his daughter borrowed money from Joseph Doll and repaid the loan by working for him. Abel died at the age of forty-three in 1773. He was survived by a widow, three daughters, and a son, who may have been named John. John Abel married Magdalena Ditlow, whose family seems to have been associated with glassmaking. Her death, at the age of twenty-six, was attributed to the wrath of her husband in the burial record.(I have this also, and will send it)>>A John and Joseph Abel were working in a New Jersey glassworks in the early years of the nineteenth century.(I gave you the reference in the last e-mail.<< It does go on to mention Henry Abel and H.William Apel (the author thinks that they are the same person) listed in the 1790 census under Amelung's name with other New Breman workers." If anyone knows more details about Johannes Abel and the glassworks in Frederick please let us know. The Ditlos were also in glassmaking? I hadn't heard that before. Catherine Auvil Olympia, WA, USA

Hi My name is Catherine Auvil. I am currently living in Olympia, Washington, USA. I am a descendant of Johannes Abel b: abt 1760 probably in Maryland. My grandfather was Oscar Oliver Auvil b: 1895 in West Virginia. His father was Simeon Hannibal Auville b: 1855 in West Virginia. I have recently purchased the rights to auvil.com which I will be using for my business, but I will be glad to dedicate space to Auvil genealogy. If you have any Auvil websites or news or announcements please send me the address and I will publish a link at auvil.com. All that I have there so far are links to the message boards that I have found. Catherine
