I was just checking to see if the BEHYMER list is up and going now. If we sent messages while it was down, will they show up when the system is fixed or do we need to resubmit them? Linda

This is not a poke at Prodigy or AOL or anyone else, but I've noticed on more than one occasion that the online services, such as those mentioned above, sometimes do not deliver e-mail immediately. The direct connection servers also sometimes delay e-mail, (whether intentionally or not I don't know) but it seems the services like AOL are more prone to it, especially in high-traffic periods. Also, Rootsweb has been having trouble lately. Their server was down yesterday, and may still be this morning. As a test, check the time you received this message.

No, I don't mean Sidewalk Sally's favorite customers, I mean all of those John Behymers who show up as heads of household in the 1820, 1830 and 1840 censuses. Ever wonder which John Behymer was which? Well, I think I have the answer. It has taken me a while to sort them out, but here are my conclusions, a little contribution to the Behymer list (note: there are a few holes and some speculation, so I welcome comments, corrections, additions, etc): 1820 - Clermont County, OH John Behymer (000100/00100) This is John Abraham Behymer (son of Joseph Behymer and Christina Lazena) and his wife Margaret Short 1820 - Preble County, OH Jonathan Behymer (000010/00100) This is Jonathan Behymer (thought to be one of the 9 or more original brothers and son of John Behymer, Sr and Anne Elizabeth Rinker) and his wife, ? Note: The maiden name of John, Sr's wife, Rinker, comes from the IGI, and, as far as I no, has not been verified; her first name has variously been recorded as Anne and Elizabeth; according to John & John Pickelsimer in their book, Pickelsimers of Eastern Kentucky, they conclude that they are one and the same person, i.e., Anne Elizabeth) 1830 - Clermont County, OH John Behymer (0000100000000/0001000000000) This is John Behymer (son of Samuel Behymer and Catherine Logan) and his wife, Nancy Leach John Behymer (0200010000000/4100100000000) This is John Behymer (son of Nathaniel Behymer and Anna Magdalena ?) and his wife, Jane Meeker 2 male children 5-10 Nathaniel, William M 4 female children 0-5 Ann, Harriett J, Caroline, ? 1 female child 5-10 Charity John Behymer (1100010000000/2100100000000) This is John Abraham Behymer (son of Joseph Behymer and Christina Lazena) and his wife Margaret Short 1 Male child 0-5 Elijah 1 male child 5-10 Isaac 2 female children 0-5 ?, ? 1 female child 5-10 Mary Jonathan Behymer (0000001000000/0000001000000) This is Jonathan Behymer (thought to be one of the 9 or more original brothers and son of John Behymer, Sr and Anne Elizabeth Rinker) and his wife, ? 1830 - Lawrence County, IN John Behymer (1311201000000/1000001000000) This is John L(eonard) Behymer (probable son of John Behymer, Jr and Barbara Weddle) and his wife, Charity Ann Harger (or Anna Henry or Anna Hunter) 1 male child 0-5 Lemuel (or Samuel) 3 male children 5-10 Thomas, Alexander, ? 1 male child 10-15 Benjamin W 1 male child 15-20 Henry (or James?) 2 male children 20-30 Charles, Andrew 1 female child 0-5 Rebecca 1840 - Clermont County, OH John Behymer (3200010000000/01001) This is John Behymer (son of Samuel Behymer and Catherine Logan) and his wife, Nancy Leach 3 male children 0-5 Perry, Jerome, Lexias 2 male children 5-10 Barrington, Clarrington 1 female child 5-10 Emily John Behymer (0000100000000/1000100000000) This is John Behymer (son of Solomon Behymer and Mary Webb) and his wife, Sarah John 1 female child 0-5 Mary A John Behymer (0000100000000/0100100000000) This may be John Behymer (son of Jacob Behymer and Elizabeth France) and his wife, Martha Medaris as he is shown living next to Elias and Daniel Behymer, known sons of Jacob and Elizabeth. There should be two sons, however, one in the 0-5 (Jacob M) and one in the 5-10 category (William S) which are not listed, so this is somewhat of a speculation on my part - comments? 1 female child 5-10 ? 1840 - Fulton County, IL John Behymer (2011100100000/1101100100000) This is John L(eonard) Behymer (probable son of John Behymer, Jr and Barbara Weddle) and his wife, Charity Ann Harger (or Anna Henry or Anna Hunter) 2 male children 0-5 ?, ?

I seem to be having some trouble also. I have never received the message below from Eileen. At least I don't remember it if I did. I have no information at all on Elizabeth Pickle/Picklesimer except that she married Peter Poff/Pauff and they lived and died in Montgomery/Floyd Co., Va. I don't even have documentation of her last name. They would have been married about 1790. I've gathered all the documents I can find on the Picklesimers in Montgomery, Floyd and Franklin Co. but cannot find a link. The only thing I've found that mentions Poff/Pauff and Picklesimer in the same document is a land survey in which Peter Poff was the "assignee" of Joseph Picklesimer. I found two Joseph Picklesimers - one married Susannah Trout in Franklin Co. in 1797 and the other married Christina Lazera in Franklin Co. in 1793. Both of these Joseph's would probably have been the right age to be the brother of Elizabeth assuming these were their first marriages. I also found a Betsy (my Elizabeth was also known as Betsy) Picklesimer but she married David Landes in Franklin Co. and Elizabeth Picklesimon who married Melcher Wagoner in Franklin Co. There were plenty of Elizabeth Picklesimers but none married to a Poff/Pauff. They may even have been married in Augusta Co. before they came to Montgomery/Floyd. But I find no record there either. I live in Roanoke Co. which is within 30 miles of Montgomery, Floyd and Franklin so I get anything I find on these names. If I ever make the connection I'm all set!! :-) As for the name Stanley -- my husband's family were from Franklin Co., Va. with some migrating to Pike Co., KY. His third great grandfather died in Pike Co., KY in 1843 but the majority of his direct line stayed in Virginia.

Benjamin Beckelhymer, Thomas, Isaac and James Ferguson. It appears they bought land in Fountain Co, IN, about 1810, then returned to Clermont Co, OH.

Dulca: The following is something I posted to the Behymer list a while back. It pertains to the line you mentioned. I would be interested in knowing more about the Aaron, born in 1814, and any comments on my hypothesis indicated below. Also, are you sure that Jacob had 8 children only? Unfortunately, I don't have much more info on this branch. I don't know if you have read my proposal re: posting the Behymer genealogy to the Internet. Would you be willing to help by providing data on the lines you indicated in your E-mail? I have been doing a fair amount of research of late, trying to piece together the relationships of all of the early Behymers who migrated from Virginia in Clermont County, Ohio in the early 1800s. One of the things that has always bothered me was not knowing the parentage of the two Behymers who lived in Washington and Monroe townships in the 1820 to 1850 time frame. These would be Aaron and James Behymer. They are thought to have been brothers, and they do not fit in as descendants of any of the 9 (or more) Behymer brothers who resided in Ohio township. These would be: John, Jr, Samuel, Joseph, Nathaniel, Jacob, Jonathan, Solomon, Joel, David (and perhaps Daniel and Enos/Enoch). The latter brothers all appear to descend from John Behymer, Sr. This same conclusion regarding the parentage of Aaron and James Behymer was arrived at by Edith Beach Sipple who wrote and published a genealogy on their descendants, entitled: Deep Roots, Beckelhymer, and by Mrs Luella Wagner, who wrote and published a similar treatise entitled: Family History of Michael Jackson Behimer (1860-1918). In going through the census records in detail, combined with a recent E-mail sent to this list from HolmHogs@aol.com on 1 Aug 1998 and the information contained in the well-researched book: The Picklesimers of Eastern Kentucky by John Wayne and John Walter Picklesimer, I now have a reasonable hypothesis for the parentage of the two Behymers in question. My conclusion is that Jacob, Jr, probable son of Abraham, Sr (brother of the John, Sr mentioned above), and husband of Christina, who resided for most of their life in Montgomery County, VA are the parents of the Aaron and James Behymer who settled in Washington township, Clermont County, OH. I arrive at this conclusion as follows: (1) In 1840, there is a Moses, William and Isaac Behymer, all residing in Washington township along with James and Aaron. Based on the 1840 census return, they would have been born as follows: Isaac (1780-1790), Aaron (1790-1800), Moses (1800-1810), William (1800-1810) and James (1800-1810). (2) All of the above names, i.e.: Isaac, Aaron, Moses, William and James are recorded in the bible that was referred to in the E-mail from HolmHogs@aol.com. (3) The birth dates recorded in the bible for the above Behymers are respectively: 1788, Oct 27, 1814, Nov 13, 1799, Jul 15, 1802 and Mar 3, 1805. These birth dates are consistent with the census birth dates except for Moses and Aaron. As Moses married in Clermont County to Peggy Perkizer in 1821, he would likely have been born approximately in the year 1800, close enough to the 1799 date recorded in the bible. The birth dates for the two Aaron's are significantly different, however, it is probable that not all of the names found in the early bible are, in fact, children of Jacob and Christina, only that they were close relations. The Aaron that was recorded could have been a grandchild of Jacob and Christina. The same is probably the case for some of the other names therein recorded: Cary, Morgan, Wm. Jackson and Amanda, e.g. Four of the names recorded in the bible were faded and illegible. One of these was Levi, per the HolmHogs@aol.com E-mail. My guess is that one of these was also the elder Aaron who settled in Clermont County, OH. (4) There is one fly in the ointment, however: From other family records, including the two books indicated above, James Behymer was born 9 Apr 1805, close to the Mar 3, 1805 date recorded in the bible, but not exact. (5) James Behymer married Margaret Purkiser, making another connection with Moses who married Peggy Perkiser in 1821. Note: these are two separate Margaret/Peggys. A Moses Behymer married Martha Grant in 1837 and Elizabeth Floorea in 1838. Is this the same Moses, who married three separate times? (6) William married Rachel Pursley in 1823. They had 4 children, and he died in Clermont County in 1842. I have very little data on the children of Moses and William Behymer. Also, other than in the 1840 census, there is no trace of Isaac in Clermont County. Perhaps he took a vacation in 1840 to visit his younger brothers in Clermont County, returning to VA shortly thereafter. I plan on following up this research by checking the Montgomery County, VA census records to see where Isaac can be found. I welcome comments to this hypothesis, and would be very interested in exchanging information on any of the Behymer descendants mentioned herein.

Hi all... Just a question here....I noticed that Twila sent on a letter from Kathy since her things are not reaching the mailing list. The posts I am getting are coming in a completely non-sequential order. For example, I received replies to John's post about setting up a site a day or two before I got his original post. Anyone else having this trouble? And is it with my server or the Behymer mailing list server, or is there really any way to determine the source of the difficulty?

Tom: As far as the 9, 10 or 11 children of John Behymer, the best we can do until someone makes a breakthrough is to annotate the database to make it clear where some of the data may be conflicting or used as a place-holder until more information comes along.

John, What a great idea! Most of the info I have is from these lists, but, I have a few records from Campbell Co. censuses and would be happy to share anything on my immediate family to help verify the facts. I, too, am a stickler for details. Let me know how I can help. Linda

I'm all for it, John, but there's gonna be a fight, right away. We never really nailed down the 9, 10, or 11 sons (or daughters) of the mysterious Jonathan. We worked on it for several months, as I recall, but it appeared to be unresolvable, and interest waned. I guess you'll just have to take your chances and post what you have, but be prepared to take cover when the arrows come flying in! I'll help in any way I can. Go for it!

Hi, all- I've searched through all my old records, even went to the attic to dig out really old handwritten records I kept before the advent of the personal confuser. Everywhere that I have the marriage of Solomon Behymer and Polly Webb recorded, I have 2/2/1804. Alas, there is no provenance of same. Back in the late 1970s, when the first rumblings of genealogical interest began to stir in my breast, I remember looking through some books of my Grandmother. She had dabbled in the family history for a while, but never really pursued it. (her mother was a Behymer, and thus my connection to this list.) I remember copying some of her notes, and it's possible this is where I got the date. (another alas: She died in 1982, and her notes and a bible that had other info in it disappeared. Her son (my uncle) and her brother would have been the only two folks who might have taken the stuff, but despite repeated pleading to search again, they both insisted they've never seen it. I suppose it got mixed in with some trash, or was sold amongst other stuff at auction. I could just scream). Grandma's brother died about 6 months ago, and I've alerted his children to keep an eye out for anything that might be related to family records. So, all I can say is, the date is recorded in my earliest genealogical files, but I have no source to prove it. c'est la vie...

My e-mails do not appear when they're sent. I would like to see one web page for all the Behymer/Picklesimer family research. If we could possibly contact Jen, maybe the page could be added to and updated. I feel that it would be much easier for a new internet researcher if all the info were in one place. Just my 2 cents worth. I haven't done any Behymer research, thus nothing on the mailing list from me. Hope all of you had a nice summer. Enjoy our fall season while you can. Winter will be here before long. Kathy Graham Friend --------------7C0BCF5BF7907307E6841411--
