I thought I was an Electronics Engineer (retired), and I can't keep my own computers running - at least this is finally working - replaced the keyboard - *********************************** I have Jane Cox (wife of Abraham Hendricks) being the daughter of possibly either a William Cox or his brother, Amos Cox. [I did research on World Connect and did not find any good connections] I have both Abraham and Jane being buried at Bancroft in the Hill Cemetery. World Connect, on a William Cox (born 1784, son of Phineas Cox) did live in Warren Co KY (Cox Cemetery, near Bowling Green). His father does not have a daughter named Jane in listings. (William's Mother was Barbara Stump - a daughter of the "renegade" Frederick Stump of Lebanon Co PA - Fort Nashboro, Nashville TN - my kin.) Most of the Hendricks families moved from Warren/Simpson Co KY (Drakes Creek Church) to Cape Girardeau MO in 1814-1815 (I had that Elder John Hendricks died near Fort Kaskaskia in Illinois, at some point before or during the migration - 13 Apr 1814 - although some information says he died in Missouri). So Abraham (9th child) was a young man at that time. There were Cox families, from the Carolinas, in that early Kentucky area [I had a licensed minister at the Stonelick Church, Jimmy Cox, that was born near Owensboro KY - Green River area]. Elder John Hendricks moved from the Forks of the Yadkin (church), Rowan Co NC, to Warren Co KY - leaving Carolina hurriedly in 1796, following the ban of "John H", seemingly first to the Hinkston Creek church (Nicholas Co KY) then on to Drakes Creek in 1799. By tradition, he is claimed to have put Squire Boone Jr (younger brother of Daniel) into the ministry there at Forks of the Yadkin. Squire is noted as the "first Baptist Preacher in Kentucky". If the tradition means anything, he was a Baptist Brethren minister. John Hendricks settled on Lick Creek of the Drakes Creek, in now Simpson Co (Drakes Creek meanders south from near Bowling Green KY - not far from I-65). There are records of the Lick Creek Primitive Baptist Church (was located at Gold City) in the archives in Franklin KY, which include the Hendricks and Keithley family descendent names. This was one of the two extent churches of our Drakes Creek Brethren settlement. I found that after the 1820s dispute with the Elders of Annual Meeting, many of the Brethren (throughout Kentucky and far southern Ohio-Indiana), certainly including later local migrants who were "English" Baptists, became Primitive Baptists. Many of the Kentucky families came from North Carolina. Buncombe Co is just north of Ashville NC - in the Valley (New River?) west side of the Blue Ridge Mountains - we had a church there - in Ashe Co - considerably north (remember - at this time a church was a settlement - and normally did not mean a specific building - normally someones house [yes, in good weather, with a large group, in a barn] - so some could have lived farther south in the valley). By tradition, Daniel Boone, at one time, moved across the Blue Ridge from the Yadkin River (Wilkesboro area) to Ashe Co (Wilkes Co then) in the vicinity of Boone NC. An OLD Baptist Church there claims his name on its membership list - but when he would have been there, the only Baptists in that area were the Baptist Brethren (our church - this is decades before we changed the name to German Baptist Brethren - one of the problems in my Kentucky "Frontier Brethren" research). Looking at that Baptist church's records, I did not find anything to connect it with Brethren families. The Whitewater Brethren Church, Cape Girardeau Co MO, was on the Whitewater River (actually now in Bollinger Co MO). This is one of the Frontier Brethren Churches that went Universalist (a Hendricks family tradition - our Brethren Pietist origin - "Eternal Restoration" - the Universalists claim that the Brethren were the first "Univeralists" in America). Many of these western Kentucky Brethren families (including many of the Hendricks) went to Adams Co IL about 1826. I have that Abraham was in this migration. I did not have that he went to Texas, but there were others in the research that did. Jane Davis will know more about the church at Bancroft MO - when my father was 'District Executive' in Missouri (different title then), he went up to Plattsburg MO, to a church there. But that is a distance SW of Davies Co (toward St Joseph MO) - at least in horse-and-buggy days. I have that a number of younger Brethren families, originally from Kentucky, did move on to Davies Co. Merle C Rummel ****************** Please point me in the right direction to find the parents of Jan Cox was born 20 Jan 1800 in Buncombe, NC, married Abraham Hendricks 1820 Cape Girardeau, MO, died 20 Jan 1888 Bancroft, MO. Her obit states, "She has been a consistent member of the Dunkard Church for the last sixty-five years and was perfectly resigned and willing to meet the visitor death when he approached." What would be the nearest Dunkard Church in the Bancroft, MO. in 1800 hundreds.

Members of my family were babtized around the age of 13 including my 97 year old mother. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Thomas" <wbtst2@atlanticbb.net> To: <brethren@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, December 02, 2013 9:21 PM Subject: Re: [BRE] Jane Cox follow up. > You were not considered a member of the Dunkard, Mennonite or Amish faith > until you were baptized, which would have been as a young adult.

Thank you for the information, I will look up some history and search for more information on the Rebellion in NC in 1770's. I have a lot of information on the Cox name from NC, censes, deeds, etc for Abraham and Jane Cox Hendricks, but it seems almost impossible to prove the Cox line. Again thank you for your answers.

You were not considered a member of the Dunkard, Mennonite or Amish faith until you were baptized, which would have been as a young adult.

Thanks for your reply, Shelly. You have answered my question. Gipe is a new name for me, but apparently not new at all in Franklin County. I want to keep your note for future reference. Sherry Petry In a message dated 11/30/2013 2:34:48 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, Cltiv8tr@aol.com writes: Dear Sherry, I do not have Abraham in my direct line of George Gipe (1809, PA) and Elizabeth Barncord (1823, PA). Most of the Gipe folks in Franklin County are descendants of David B. Gipe/Geib. My George and Elizabeth had the following (known) children: David (1846, PA - 1923, SD) Henrey (1848, PA may have died young, though no record) Elizabeth (1849-1850, PA, buried at the Hawbecker Cemetery, Upton) Jacob (1852, PA -1918, IA) George (1852-1853 - PA, buried at the Hawbecker Cemtery, Upton) Rohanna/Ruhama (1855, IN - 1927, IL) Mary/Arilla (1857, IL - 1917, IL) John (1859/60, IL - may have changed his name to GIPES) Samuel (1863, IL - 1843, IA) The family is in Franklin County in 1850, missing in 1860, and in IL in 1870 and 1880. Since George was 37 when his first known child was born with Elizabeth, there is the possibility that he was previously married with more children. If your Abraham isn't connected to the David B. Gipe family, there's always the possibility that a first family may be another option. Shelly Shelly, I noticed your reference to the Gipe name, because I may have a tenuous connection to a Gipe family in Franklin County, PA. Do you have an Abraham Gipe, b 1843 in Franklin Co, who married Emma Gabler, 1852-1933? My interest is marginal, but I would be interested in talking to someone who knows about this couple.

Dear Sherry, I do not have Abraham in my direct line of George Gipe (1809, PA) and Elizabeth Barncord (1823, PA). Most of the Gipe folks in Franklin County are descendants of David B. Gipe/Geib. My George and Elizabeth had the following (known) children: David (1846, PA - 1923, SD) Henrey (1848, PA may have died young, though no record) Elizabeth (1849-1850, PA, buried at the Hawbecker Cemetery, Upton) Jacob (1852, PA -1918, IA) George (1852-1853 - PA, buried at the Hawbecker Cemtery, Upton) Rohanna/Ruhama (1855, IN - 1927, IL) Mary/Arilla (1857, IL - 1917, IL) John (1859/60, IL - may have changed his name to GIPES) Samuel (1863, IL - 1843, IA) The family is in Franklin County in 1850, missing in 1860, and in IL in 1870 and 1880. Since George was 37 when his first known child was born with Elizabeth, there is the possibility that he was previously married with more children. If your Abraham isn't connected to the David B. Gipe family, there's always the possibility that a first family may be another option. Shelly Shelly, I noticed your reference to the Gipe name, because I may have a tenuous connection to a Gipe family in Franklin County, PA. Do you have an Abraham Gipe, b 1843 in Franklin Co, who married Emma Gabler, 1852-1933? My interest is marginal, but I would be interested in talking to someone who knows about this couple. Sherry Petry

Hi, None of the Rootsweb Lists deliver attachments. That's why you're having trouble. Perhaps you could put the form on a website and post a URL Link to the 'file' instead? Judy
