As a steadfast "lurker", I have stored up a couple of questions that come to mind upon reading the Wilhite-Powell post which began: ------- - The Powells were in Virginia in the 1600s and Culpepper/Orange County in the mid 1700s. Thomas Powell was born in 1635 and his grandchildren and great grandchildren would have met the Germanna families as they relocated west... lived side by side with the Germanna families and by the time of the Revolutionary War they were well integrated. Many members also moved west with the Germanna families. ------------------ Question #1. In Kentucky, a grand-daughter (Elizabeth, b.1828 of Ambrose Powell (b.1761 Culpeper Co., VA d. Estill Co., KY) married William Bellis in Estill Co., KY. A Henry Bellows (Bayliss, Belles, Bellows, Bollesfeldt, etc.), with a wife named Mary, lived in the Hawksbill area and is mentioned in several deeds involving the Pence (Bentz) family. These Pences from the Pfalz moved in the 1760s from PA to the Shenandoah and married Schnell/Snell, Bibler, and Utterback, Mauck and Shaver. So question #1 - has anyone come across anyone named with a Bellis variant in and around Germanna? (The Bollesfeldt brothers from Nieuwied settled in NJ in the 1720-30s.) Question #2. Three wives of my Thomas ancestors (not including Eva Susanna Margarita Hart (!!) remain mysteries, but two have names that come up in and around the Germanna colonies = so I'm looking for "leads." 1 Michael Thomas b: Abt. 1718 .. +Eva Susanna Margarita Hart b: Abt. 1751 d: Abt. 1839 in Mouth of Holly, Lewis Co., KY ........ 2 Solomon Thomas b: Abt. 1775 in Ten Mile Creek, PA d: Bef. September 18, 1837 in Lewis Co., KY ............ +Catherine Barnhill b: Abt. 1765 d: Bef. October 15, 1852 in Lewis Co., KY ................... 3 William Thomas b: Abt. 1809 in Kentucky d: Bef. October 06, 1866 in Scotland Co., MO ....................... +Lettice M. Neal b: Abt. 1815 in Kentucky d: Bef. February 21, 1863 in Scotland Co., MO ............................. 4 Daniel Webster "Tuk" Thomas b: July 16, 1843 in Vanceburg, Lewis Co., KY +Mary Elizabeth Sparks b: August 31, 1843 in Kentucky d: March 13, 1917 in Prairieview, Phillips Co., KS The mother of Mary Elizabeth Sparks was 1 Isabella Ellis b: August 20, 1816 in Logan Co., OH or KY d: May 25, 1886 in Johnson Twp., Granger, Scotland Co., MO So the names of interest are: Neal (and var. Neel, O'Neal, Neale, etc.), Ellis and Barnhill. I realize that these marriages might not be the result of group migration, but - then again - they might be. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I would love to see more research on related families. I have been looking for Abraham Kellar for over 50 years. He was in the Shenandoah Valley and his descendants married into the Yagers, Garrs, Clores, and others in Kemtucky. Several of his sons founght in the Rev. War under George Rogers Clark and moved to Kentucky after and then to Indiana. Recently through DNA testing I found another brother/cousin(?) who went into North Carolina in the mid- 1700's and it seems like some of the 1717 crowd went there also, and then into Tennessee.. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Sperong@aol.com> To: <germanna_colonies@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2009 4:37 PM Subject: Re: [GERMANNA] How Wilhites are connected to the Thomas Powell andMary Place > The Powells were in Virginia in the 1600s and Culpepper/Orange County in > the > mid 1700s.

The Powells were in Virginia in the 1600s and Culpepper/Orange County in the mid 1700s. Thomas Powell was born in 1635 and his grandchildren and great grandchildren would have met the Germanna families as they relocated west. The Taylors, Berry's, Byrd, Burr and other prominent Virginia family members lived side by side with the Germanna families and by the time of the Revolutionary War they were well integrated. Many members also moved west with the Germanna families. I think it would be great if we had more research on how these early English and Scots Irish lines connect with Germanna families. By the Revolution many Germanna families were marrying into English and Scots Irish families. I still have not confirmed the wife's name of Daniel Broyles born 1762, son of Cyrus Broyles born 1734 (son of Hans Jacob Broyles and Maria Fleshmann) who married Mary Wilhite/hoit. I have noted that Daniel's son Cornelius indicated he was born in Virginia and Daniel who was an adult when his father moved west, may have remained in Virginia near his wife's family until 1790 when he appears in the records in Watauga Tenn. I just wish I could locate her name whether it was English or German. Daniel's children names were a mixture of English and German and Cornelius born about 1784, son of Daniel married Mary Farley in Tenn. of a prominent Amelia, Virginia family . After Cornelius, most of the female lines on my Broyles family were English and/or Scots Irish. You can see below that Honoraias Powell, grandson of Thomas Payne Powell, moved to Culpepper in the mid 1700s where his son Thomas Payne Powell was born about 1730. It would be the next generation born about 1750 and beyond where the intermarriages really occurred. It is reported that Thomas Payne Powell and brother Simon went with Washington to western Penn near Pittsburg during the French and Indian War. My Powell line is as follows according to Vangundy source, I am still confirming this information especially the information in Kentucky: Descendants of Thomas Sr. Powell 1 Thomas Sr. Powell b: Abt. 1635 in Sittingbourne Parrish, Essex Co, VA d: 20 Mar 1700/01 in Sittingbourne Parrish, Essex Co, VA Source: _www.vangundy.net/familytree/paf/pafg71.htm_ (http://www.vangundy.net/familytree/paf/pafg71.htm) .. +Mary Place b: Abt. 1648 in Lancaster Co, VA m: Abt. 1666 in Isle of Wight/Old Rappahannock Co, VA d: 15 Dec 1710 Father: Francis Place Mother: Ann Williamson ..... 2 Honerias Powell b: Abt. 1669 in 1669, Essex Co, VA, d: 1752 in Caroline Co, VA Source: an Gundy Family File _www.vangundy.net/familytree/paf/pafg71.htm_ (http://www.vangundy.net/familytree/paf/pafg71.htm) ......... +Joyce Unknown b: Abt. 1675 in Virginia m: 1693 in Old Rappahannock Co, VA. ............ 3 Honorias Powell Jr? b: 1694 in Virginia d: 1767 in Virginia ................ +Jeanette Kirtley b: Abt. 1700 in Prob Virginia m: 20 Apr ................... 4 Thomas Payne Powell? b: Abt. 1730 in Orange Culpepper Virginia d: Feb 1809 in Estill Co, KY. ....................... +Jane Ann Bush b: 1740 Father: Phillip or Thomas Bush .......................... 5 Oner R M?

Brenda, Linda and others: Sorry to say, since Dr. John Montgomery's passing, there has been response or interest among the remaining principals of the Fleshman Family Association in continuing the Fleshman Reunion in Lewisburg. I will once again contact the others to see if the reunion can be resurrected. I will keep you and the list posted.

Curious if anyone knew Ruth Fleishman of the Chicago area (Lombard) to be exact. She was a Fleshman researcher and friend.

Linda, My mother [Theodosia Belle] was a Fleshman from Greenbriar WV.  I have talked to a couple of my aunts and cousins and we are planning to go to the Germanna July reunion.  There are 6 or 7 of us. But, If something is planned, maybe there could be more attending. I sent Germanna an email asking for information, but haven't received an answer.  John Blankenbaker sent me a nice email answering some of my questions, but we still have to plan where we are going to stay, etc. Do you know if the Fleshman Family is planning any type of reunion in WV this year? I knew Dr. Montgomery died, but don't know how to contact Richard Blake.

A question was asked how Thomas Powell and Mary Place are related to the Wilhites(sic). Lucy Stapp, wife of John Wilhite, was the ggggrandchild of Thomas Powell and Mary Place. Thomas Powell and Mary Place had Ann Ester Powell that married Edward Coffey, their daughter Martha Patsy Coffey married Joshua Stapp Senior. Joshua Junior married Hannah Durham and had Lucy Stapp married to John Wilhite. John Wilhite and Lucy Stapp had Tobias married to Nancy Margaret Ellis. Tobias's son Norville Stapp Willhite then married Almira Jane Willhoite, d of Reynolds W and Lucy Towles. Reynold's father was Joel Wilhoit son of Tobias W born 15 July 1708 and Catherine(?)Walke. As Joel W also married a Mary Wilhite all I have to do is yodel Wilhite and believe me I am related....

(Don't stop to fill in the blanks--you will be diverted from following these instructions! And besides, some of the responses you get are dead wrong!!!) The catalog can be found on this website: _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org/) Look for the tab on the opening screen entitled *Library* to the right. Click on that and choose *catalog* Then, either choose PLACE, such as Germanna, or SURNAME, such as Rector. 3) If there is a film of that publication, contact your nearby or local Family History Center. Sometimes the best place to start, if you are unfamiliar with navigating the familysearch.org website is to look in the yellow pages of your phone book under Churches. Look for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and see if a Family History Center is connected with that church. If not, then try surrounding communities. (The search for a center is sometimes off base, because the website has not kept up with the times!!!) For a fee, for a limited time, you can borrow the selected film from Salt Lake City through your nearby Family History Center. Just be sure the center does not already have the film--the volunteers generally make you check!!! (Take lots of change, plus your check book. If the film is at the center, you will want to make copies of selected--or many--pages. That is why we genealogists have such cluttered rooms.) Now to the Rector surname. You will find many publications at the Family History Library relating to this family. I highly recommend that you begin,however, with any of the publications of B. C. Holtzclaw, who did a lot of research on many Germanna families. (You may want to do an Author search instead of Surname search.) But this selection should not keep you from studying all the other publications of the Rector surname, as some may pertain to your more immediate family!!! (Years ago, I had a classmate whose surname was Rector. I did not dream, kid that I was, that possibly he might have been a cousin!!!) As more and more of these older family histories, particularly those where the copyright has expired, are being digitized, you might find some information if your local [or nearby] public library has subscriptions to online databases, such as HeritageQuest and Ancestry.com. In many cases, you can access through your home computer HeritageQuest. Ancestry.com [library version] is generally confined to use in the library. My large city library, I noticed, charges $25 for a library card if you live outside the city limits. That is a small price to pay for a year's use to the databases which you can access at home. So--if your local library does not subscribe to one of these databases, ask the reference librarian [the one at the desk] what nearby libraries may have HeritageQuest. I do know that HQ has several books by B. C. Holtzclaw. He, like most of us genealogists, overlooked some facts or did not find the facts--so there are errors. But, you as a researcher, should set out to correct those mistakes. And perhaps publish an aritcle giving your arguments. Good luck!!! E.W.Wallace **************New year...new news.

Many Germanna families intermarried with other Germanna families, as most of you know. Take a look at this URL. You will find Kemper family genealogy by typing in Kemper. You might type in other surnames of the Germanna colonies. The Kempers, however, also married outside the Germanna colonies--even Smiths, and Kellys. _http://www.lib.byu.edu/fhc/index.php_ (http://www.lib.byu.edu/fhc/index.php) E.W.Wallace **************New year...new news.

I am off to Salt Lake City to dig through Franklin Co., GA books and see what tidbits I can dig up on an illigitimate THOMAS line from the 1850's that DNA tells us is related. The good news is that we know a branch of Hans Thomas family was in the area and had some dealings with the maternal line. The bad news is that there were 4 brothers and we'll probably never know which one was the father of the child. Anyway, this got me on the track of the sons of Hans Thomas -- Michael, William, Jesse, Lewis and Joel. The last two names were not used by the brother of Hans so possibly maternal names through the second wife of Hans. Just curious is any of the Germanna people used these names who might have had a daughter Sarah probably born in the 1740's or so. Then again -- they sound pretty English to me but I definitely am not an expert on early names. Needles in haystacks but never hurts to get help.  Any ideas? Take care all. Marilyn

John: Thank you for the explanation on the mtDNA. I'm sorry, but I don't have a good answer for your question regarding what is happening with the FLESHMAN family. Since the passing of Dr. John MONTGOMERY (family secretary for over 75 years), things seem to have come to a standstill. There hasn't even been the nice reunions we used to have in Lewisburg, WV. I believe that Richard BLAKE is still the family secretary and, perhaps, he can answer your question. I am still researching the FLESHMAN family and would appreciate any contacts from descendants of the group. We do plan on being at Pipestem State Park, south of Beckley, WV, June 19-21, for the biannual reunion of the VANDAL family. My third greatgrandfather (son of Jacob ALTHAR/ALTHAIR and Susannah FLESHMAN) married Jemima VANDAL, whose father, Abraham VANDAL, originally founded the town of Vandalia, which became Fayetteville, WV. Is there something special going on at the Germanna Reunion, this year, concerning the FLESHMANs? Linda Linda, Essentially, the mitochondrial information of a women is passed to all of her children. Her daughter would have the same information. Then her daughter would have the same info and so. Following all material lines down from Anna Barbara Shoene, they would all the same mitochondrial info. Now as the info is passed from a mother to her children, there may be some small changes in the information. These are very rare as a change only occurs, on the average, every few thousand years. It appears that 95 percent of the people in Europe are descended from only seven women. See the book, "The Seven Daughters of Eve."

John, Do you base that we women came from seven women on the book about the "The seven daughter's of Eve". I have a problem believing that the information in that book is true. I think it is all fiction. Have you seen the CD on the "Journey of Man"? That would be a hard pill to swallow.. LOL I cannot believe the story of evolution. I believe we are creative beings. I think the DNA studies are good and the science of the DNA but I don't find any thing other than speculation about the stories that are added. I don't ever go with the flow of the crowd. I do my own investigation and decide for myself. Since, this is such a serious matter I think we need to look under every rock. I have been reading books and looking in to the DNA for a few years. I think it is good to share our knowledge but lots going on with the genealogy that is being put out is in fact, their religion. Frances In a message dated 1/8/2009 8:17:23 A.M.
