Wikipedia says Polly was derived from Molly, another nickname for Mary. Another website, <http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080125103308AA1dpxk> says this: It was common in the Middle Ages to exchange Ps for Ms in nicknames. Thus Mary or "Molly" was transformed into "Polly." The same exchange can be seen with Peggy or Peg, a common nickname for Margaret (via "Meg.") So could be a nickname for Mary or for Pollyanna or simply just a name by itself. In short: Mary --> Molly --> Polly similar to the derivation of Margaret --> Meg --> Peg -- Peggy Sarge At 7/1/2010 08:21 PM Thursday, PJ wrote: *********START OF ORIGINAL MESSAGE TEXT********* >I have no background in languages, but was there an explanation for how >"Polly" became a nickname, or "for short" for Mary? >(snip) **********END OF ORIGINAL MESSAGE TEXT*********** My Germanna Database at Rootsweb: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=germanna My Germanna Website at Rootsweb: http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~george/index.html

Hi Barb, I'll have to do ancestor reports for both people and then attach to private emails to anyone who is interested. Just too much data to post here on the List. (That is, unless you want just the bare bones data.) I can do several formats, .TXT, .PDF, .RTF, etc. Can do an Ahnentafel in either format. If you use RootsMagic 4, I can also create ancestor charts which you can add to your RM4 folder and open in RM4. I can do several types of charts (Box/Pedigree) and save them to .PDF or .RTF. I can do Family Group Sheets for any of Johann Christian's or "Burga's" ancestors, showing all the data for the family, including the children and their data. OR, if you use a "good" genealogy program, and are brave, I can extract all the data for John and "Burga", their ancestors, descendants, etc., and export it to a GEDCOM (.GED file). If you use a program other than RM4, you can create a new database and import the .GED file into it to create a separate database (probably best for those who aren't "experts" working with a genealogy program). If you DO use RM4, you can do the same, create a new database, import the data, then pull up that database beside your main database to help you see the links. As stated earlier, you could then even click, drag, and drop people from one database to the other. Ain't technology wonderful?! (I think probably the Nr. 1 thing I like most about RM4 is the ability to work with different databases, side by side. Of course it gets crowded if you don't have a wide-screen monitor. [GRIN]) Barb, if you, or anyone else doesn't have the data, tell me what you want, OR go to my database at Rootsweb and access the data directly. Sarge (P.S. John Blankenbaker is absolutely correct in stating the wife's name as "Walburga WEAVER/WEBER". Several databases have her as "Margaret" and some with a nickname "Peggy". I've never seen any documentation for those names. I've entered AKA names in my database showing Alternate Names of Walburga, Burga, Margaret, and Peggy, just for those who question.) (P.P.S. I just uploaded my most recent database to Rootsweb. It should be available in a short while after Rootsweb finishes parsing it.)

Hi Patty, I found service records for Aaron and Moses Yager, sons of John Yager and Mary Wilhoit on Footnote. They appear on Co. muster and payrolls of the 4th, 8th and 12th Virginia Regiment. It was quite exciting because previous Yager research just said they were reported to have gone off to the Revolutionary Army and were never heard from again. These regimental records show that they both died in July 1778 while serving. It appears they may have been ill as one was reported "Sick V. Forge" but the specific disease is not mentioned. More details are in the forthcoming Yager book but I encourage you to look at the records yourself.

Hi Barb, If you're referring to Johann Christian "John" WILLHEIT (b.1715 in Germany) and Margaret Walburga WEAVER (b.abt. 1717 on the way to America), I have Margaret's parents and grandparents, and, of course John's ancestors back many generations in Germany.

I should have notified everyone 3 days ago about the problem at Rootsweb/Ancestry. Their HelpDesk identifies the problem, which was supposed to have been fixed yesterday. The problem is still there today. In the future, when you encounter problems at Rootsweb/Ancestry, go to http://helpdesk.rootsweb.ancestry.com/. On the right, inside a yellow box, there will be notes on any problems they're experiencing. One way to get through this problem is to input your data and click to access it; it no new window opens within 3-5 seconds, just keep clicking. Sometimes it takes many clicks to finally get to the data. That said, I can find no data that Cassandra SHOWN descended from the SCHÖNE family. Different databases give her name as Cassandra and as Katherine. Any databases with either's pedigree show a Peter SHOWN, Jr., whose father was Peter SHAUN, Sr., and whose grandfather was Nicholas SHAUN, both from MD. It is interesting, though, that SHOWN and SCHONE/SCHÖNE would be pronounced the same in America, and it IS also possible that SCHÖNE could have been written by a clerk as SHAUN. Anyone know of a member of the Virginia SCHÖNE/SCHONE family ending up in MD around 1725?

Winifred, I have no record of Tobias having a son named Joel. I agree with you about Tobias' will; I have the same data. I have essentially the same data you have on Joel. Did have different birth and marriage dates for him, but have corrected it lately; just haven't uploaded the database to Rootsweb since the changes. I do not have a will for Matthias. There is a page at Ancestry that shows marriage data for Matthias and Mary: <http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?rank=1&new=1&MSAV=0&msT=1&gss=angs-c&gsfn=matthias&gsln=wilhoit&_80018000=mary+ballinger&uidh=wia&pcat=34&h=1327051&recoff=1+2+19+20&db=WorldMarr_ga&indiv=1> It gives the marriage year as 1744, so the first of their children, Matthias, Jr., was probably born about 1745, Joel about 1746, and John about 1747. In fact, there are 5 marriage record references at Ancestry for Matthias and Mary and all give the marriage year as 1744. I do not believe Mary and Margery (Majorie) BALLENGER/BALLINGER were sisters. Mary was born c.1723-1725 and Marjorie c. 1740. The databases at Rootsweb/Ancestry show both with a father named Edward but it is pretty obvious the two Edwards are not the same person. Marjorie's father, Edward, was born about 1712, so he wasn't old enough to have been Mary's father. More than likely, Mary and Marjorie were cousins. One database does list Mary and Marjorie as children of the same Edward, but if you look at the dates, its obviously wrong. In that database Edward's birth is 1712 and Mary's birth 1725. Edward couldn't be Mary's father! Looks like someone found the two Edwards, decided they were the same person, and lumped children from two different families all under one Edward, ignoring the discrepancy of dates.

Now moving along from Michael Thomas to the family of his sister Anna Magdalena who married John Michael Schmidt. In addition to trying to find any Hebron church records for them and military records for him, I was wondering if he was naturalized and if so, when where and where was this documented? All help appreciated. Take care. Marilyn

Thank you so much, the people on this list have always been there to help others.
