While none of these families are in my husband's Brethren lines, I find the information very interesting as I have been researching various family members who were in the Civil War. Some of these 'stories behind the story' give special meaning to the families of those involved and the researchers who are interested in that particular time period. Thank you for sharing!

Most on this list are familiar with the Dunker Church that was in the middle of the Civil War Battle of Antietam, in 1862. What I didn't realize until recently reading a book on Gettysburg, that there were Brethren connections to that battle as well. 1.. Those familiar with the Battle of Gettysburg are familiar with the bloody confrontation at the Peach Orchard. What I didn't realize was who owned the Peach Orchard. It was Joseph Sherfy, a deacon in the Marsh Creek Church of the Brethren. Sherfy is also a name found in Roger Sappington's book 'Brethren in the New Nation'. 2.. During Day-1 of the Battle of Gettysburg, Union General Otis Howard, used the widows walk to view the battle, on the store of Henry J. Fahnestock. Henry was a descendent of the Fahnestock families that were members of the Ephrata Community. I thought some might be interested in these factoids. ********** I'll add other addenda - The Rummel family became Brethren at Nappanee IN - after Isaiah Rummel came home from the war (Youngstown OH, then Nappanee) - but Isaiah Rummel's gr grandfather, George Rummel (a child immigrant) owned part or most of the land of the "Cavalry Field" east of Gettysburg - a grandson, John Rummel, owned it at the time of the battle [that was where Brig Gen George Custer and the 7th Michigan Cavalry (2000, with 7 shot Spencer Rifles) stopped JEB Stuart and the Confederate Cavalry (8000 strong) - Stuart was to hit the back of the Union Lines as Pickett hit the front, and without that support, Pickett's Charge went to disaster]. Culps Hill was another grandson (Henry Culp, son of Christian Culp) - with the interesting story there. A couple younger Culp nephews had joined on the Confederate side - one was injured at Harpers Ferry - so he wrote a letter to his fiance - Jenny Wade, and gave it to his cousin - who took it to Gettysburg, and was killed on Culps Hill, before he had a chance to give Jenny Wade the letter. Of course, Jenny Wade was the only civilian killed in Gettysburg. Daniel Culp had a carpentry shop, and was building a coffin for the Confederate Brig General, William Barksdale. When Lee pulled out of Gettysburg, the coffin was used to bury Jenny Wade. Daniel Culp's son, James (17), was killed after the battle, salvaging off the battlefield, a shell exploded in his hands. There are a number of stories - - Isaiah Rummel was in the 139th Ohio Volunteer Infantry - was stationed as a guard (and barberer) at the Point Lookout Prisoner of War Camp, on the Potomac River, below Washington DC. He was a 100 day man. When his brother, Joseph, was killed at the Battle of Atlanta (GA), he came home, then came to his cousins at Nappanee IN - where I was born. Christian Culp, who married Barbara Rummel, was in the Gettysburg Volunteer Fire Department. When I was at the Seminary (Museum) in Gettysburg, they went and got his leather fire bucket, and took a picture of me holding it. One of the Battlefield Guides lives at the Rummel Farm, and he let me hold one of the 7 shot Spencer Rifles, that by serial number was in the battle. I always did wish that my Rummels at Gettysburg were Brethren at Marsh Creek - but so far - no luck - Isaiah married Stump Girl - and we are Brethren - at Nappanee and since. Merle C Rummel

Thank you for your prompt reply. I have very little on Jane Cox. I have her obit. Jane was born in Cape Girardeau, and I am going to start researching in that area. I have read the Dunkards came through Cape Giraredau, going to Daviess Co. MO. I do have information on Abraham, which I am pretty confident, but I have questions on John Hendricks or James Hendricks married to Fanny Welty. I do have a list of their children. Thank you for your help, I'll be glad to send you Jane's obit. Let me know if you don't have it. Betty In a message dated 9/1/2013 9:45:24 P.M.

Betty--I would most likely have information for you on the Hendricks line. Do you have any info on the Cox line? This is the line I have very little on. Please contact me off-line. Jane. ******** Jane - I've never had information on the Brethren Churches/Settlements there in Upper Louisiana (and early MIssouri). I've several counties where families migrated - some included in these Hendricks families - do you have information on them? (like PIke Co MO, Ralls Co MO, Cedar Co MO). I do have some information on the Whitewater Church, but could have more - What do you have? I did not have the money to go to the Brookville Conference - then also had a funeral conflict - sorry I missed you - Merle

This was a central one, at the Forks of the Yadkin. It was north of Salisbury NC (where my ancestor was a minister in the Crane Creek Church), the Forks was the area in which Squire Boone Sr settled, and Daniel Boone lived a number of years. The "Carolina Wagon Road" was followed by US-15 to near Durham NC - then followed a major Indian road to the Yadkin River Ferry at Salisbury. The later, Shenandoah Valley Road came down to Big Lick (Roanoke Va) then the "Carolina Road" went through the Blue Ridge and followed the face of the mountains to the Moravian Salem (now Winston Salem NC), the Brethren had the Uhwarrie Church just south of there, then down to the Forks of the Yadkin and the Dutchmans Creek Church - and on to the Crane Creek Church, Salisbury. It went on to the Broad River, and into South Carolina, Newberry Co, where Elder David Martin (son of Elder George Adam Martin) was THE leader of the Eternal Restoration Brethren in the Carolinas (there were "Seventh Day Baptists" at Newberry - the Ephrata Cloisters branch of the early Brethren). One early Pietist Brethren belief, was called "Eternal Restoration" - that God loved His Creation so much, that He would leave none of them in Hell for Eternity. John Hendricks was one of the leading preachers of "Eternal Restoration". When the Brethren leaders in Pennsylvania began taking action against this movement (or its successor - Univeralism) in the Carolinas, John Hendricks went "West" - followed the Wilderness Road to Logan's Fort (Stanford KY), then the Cumberland Road to Bowling Green, KY, and south along Drakes Creek. His brother William, bought his land on the Forks of the Yadkin. I do not know the reason for the migration to Upper Louisiaina (before it became MIssouri). The Whitewater Church existed for years under the Hendricks family, but many of them followed the Brethren to Illinois. (Another Brethren family at the Whitewater was the Limbaugh family - ancestors of Rush Limbaugh.) (Eternal Restoration accepted that there was a Hell, Universalism denied Hell. - the Brethren in the Carolinas seem to have moved toward the Universalist concept - per Elder Jacob Stutzman - 1790.) James Hendricks may be a son/descendent of the John Hendricks, Mennonite, who was the first to move west of the Susquehanna River, into York Co PA. - by accident, the father (John) shot and killed his son (John). John Hendricks sold land to Michael Danner, - Under orders from the Governor, Danner opened the road from York Co PA, to Frederick Co MD c1730 - which became the original road south across Colonial Virginia to the Carolinas. (It was only following the French and Indian War, that the Shenandoah Valley Road opened in western Viriginia - to the Yadkin.) Information on both early Brethren Pietism and the Migration Roads may be found at my folder, at www.cob-net.org/docs/brethrenlife.htm.

Did Peter Brubaker of Rapho Township marry Barbara Flory of Rapho Township? Peter Brubaker (1725-1811) was A-5 of the A-Line of Brubakers. He lived in the Mastersonville area of Rapho Township, Lancaster County. His next-door neighbors in Rapho were John Flory and Joseph Flory Jr. His wife was named Barbara, last name unknown. Barbara Flory (born about 1730) was the baby in the family of immigrant Joseph Flory Sr. and his wife Mary Bugh. They immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1733 and settled in Rapho Township. Her father died in 1749. She followed her older brothers and their wives and joined the Conestoga Brethren in 1754. Her older brothers were next door neighbors of Peter Brubaker of Rapho. Was she the Barbara, last name unknown, who married Peter Brubaker, next-door neighbor of her older brothers? Of course, no one knows, but isn't it a possiblity? Dwayne Wrightsman

I, too, was going to recommend Jane Best's chronology. There are many Hans Bars and Jacob Bars and Bears and online they are much confused. I am following the line of Jacob (Jagely) Bar who fathered Bars, Bares, and Bears of Rockingham County VA (also Brethren). His brother Hans Rudolph died in 1749 in Lancaster County, Cocolico Twp. I have no record of his marriage or children. His other brother Henry was the proud progenitor of 13 children (he married Barbara Witmer). At one point I waded through Rupp's 30000 names and found four Jacob Bare/Bar/Bears. You have your work cut out for you.

Looking through Brumbaugh’s History of the Brethren, I see there was a Jacob Baer (p. 308) who was baptized at Conestoga by Elder Michael Frantz in 1742. Was this the same Jacob Baer of Earl Township who immigrated with Michael Frantz on the Ship Molly in 1727? Was it the same Jacob Baer (son of Jacob) who died at Ephrata in 1768? Next I see that there was an Anna Baer (p. 309) who was baptized at Conestoga in 1747. Was she the Anna Baer who became the second wife of Mennonite Peter Brubaker of East Hempfield? Next there was Madeline Baer (p. 313) who was baptized sometime between 1755 and 1763. Was she the Magdalena Bear who married Henry Neff of Manor Township? If so, is there a relation between this Henry Neff and the Henry Neff who was elder at Cororus? I am trying to study the families of Jacob Bär (c1655- ) and, especially, the family of his son Heinrich Bär (c1695-1750). These families were Mennonite but seem to have had connections with the early Brethren in Lancaster County. Dwayne Wrightsman

Isaac Kauffman was one of a group of Anabaptist ministers involved in the Amish division in the late 17th Century. He sided with minister Jacob Amman, which is the source of the term 'Amish'. Isaac also spent time in prison in Switzerland for being an Anabaptist preacher. "Amish & Amish Mennonite Genealogies" has the Kauffman family line that includes Isaac going back to the time of Christopher Columbus.

I am marginally familiar with German, but unless I am mistaken Tauferlerhrer would be a preacher. In English we would probable say Reverend Isaac Kauffman. ----- Original Message ----- From: "L C Webb Jr" <jeanne-lwebbjr@sbcglobal.net> To: "Brethren" <Brethren@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 19, 2013 5:01 PM Subject: [BRE] The "T" word > On a genealogy card is Tauferlehrer Isaac Kauffman.
