Dear Leo, William E. Hendershott published his book in 1988 and died soon after. However his son gave permission to N.Linn Hendershott to make copies and sell them. You can reach him at Arkguy@aol.com or you can buy it on 3 disks from the Hendershot Researchers Newsletter. The editor is Evelyn S. Baer, fawmbaer@aol.com. The "book" has a lot of mistakes and omissions, so with the disks you get a print-out of these facts to change and add to the orginal. On page 176 of W. E. Hendershott's book: Born 12May1824 Newton Twp. Sussex Co NJ, served civil war Private Co. D, 27the, NJ, Inf.m moved 1868 to Scranton, Lackawanna Co PA, applied for pension 6Aug1891, moved before 1900 to Stevensville, Tuscarora Twp. Bradford Co. where he died 4Apr1916 age 73, bur. Camptown Cem. Wife Martha A. (Corson) Decker or second wife, b.Jul1844 England m. 25Aug1864 Newton Methodist Church died 1906 age 63. Ch: James, Ida,Joseph,John Edward, Sarah, Francis, Minnie May, Eva, Leatha, William and maybe Alonzo. Do you have any information to share? Hope to hear from you soon. Barbara Rudy

I would like more information on "Hendershot Genealogy" by William E. Hendershott. Is there an Isaiah Hendershot (b.12 May 1842 d.4 Apr 1916) listed in it? Leo P. McDonald leo@cyber-quest.com

Dear Barbara, I don't know what to tell you. The Hendershot Genealogy by William E. Hendershott only has one Mary Hendershot who married a Minegar. And he only followed the Hendershot men. John who is the father of Mary was born on the Millstone River, Franklin Twp Somerset Co NJ. They were members of St. James Lutheran church on the taxables Greenwich Twp. 1774. Have you checked any of the Lutheran Church records for the area around western NJ PA and Virginia? We have a Hendershot organization with over 100 people and we did not have this information except what is in the Fortney book. Have you written to Loren Varga his address is loren_varga@merck.com ? Maybe he can help. The Hendershots are having a reunion next September in NJ are you interested in attending? Barbara Rudy

I am looking for information on Mary Hendershot who married William Minear (Menear, Minier) I know who Mary's father was but I need to know where Mary & William were married and where she died. Barbara gorgine@aol.com

Is there someone out there, in the Fremont, Illinois area, that knows of descendents of George James HENDERSHOTT who was born abt. 1871 in Yankton, South Dakota? He had a sister Emma Allen Hendershott and other sibblings. His father was George A. Hendershott. I would love to hear from some of you--I am the granddaughter of Emma Allen. Thank you, Laura lollieshoe@uswest.net

I found an obituary that says that Joshua Sandage, my great-grandfather, married Minnie Elizabeth Hendershot. Everyone else tells me that he married Sarah Minnie Hendershot. Which one is right? Mark Hadlund

It is a part of our family that little has been researched. To my knowledge the two sons; Michael & Christopher married the two daughters of Michael Hendershot. If there were other children, I have never seen them. In essence, any Roof from this line is as much a HENDERSHOT as we are. Sherman Clark Hendershot married Margaret Celeste Roof. May 14, 1949 at the Presb Church Newton. Clark did own ROOF CHEVROLET, AND A THREE HUNDRED ACRE TRACT ON SWARTZWOOD LAKE, called "The Rabbit Patch". She was the daughter of James Russell Roof and Margaret Decker. Clark was the son of Clarence Hendershot & Beulah A. Westbrook; and descends from Peter Hendershot & Anibel South.(Married Feb 9 1795 Sussex County) I have no positive proof but I believe Peter was the son of Casper Hendershot & Elizabeth Pegg. Casper also had a daughter Hannah (Sarah) who married John Blackford May 9 1795 Sussex County, & Michael who married (1) Lydia Bell Nov 14 1793 (2) Mary Space Aug 25 1804 & removed to Cqpitina Creek Belmont Ohio, probably with some of his children (Danial for one) and left many descendants. Casper probably also had a daughter Elizabeth who died Jun or Jul 1865 Age 86 A WIDOW, and DC gives her parents as dau of CASPER & ELIZABETH HENDERSHOT, She may have been married to William Hendershot, but her parents were listed as Casper & Elizabeth Hendershot. Also Died Jan 25 1855 Hardwick Sussex County NJ; Hester age 74 yrs 10 months SINGLE & names Mary Smith??. I believe she may have been the daughter off Casper & Elizabeth Also. This Mary is probably the daughter of Jacob & Effy Paugh Hendershot who married Cadwallender Smith May 2 1804 in Newton; & who would have been her first cousin. WEH also has Peter B-Nov 7 1770 as being married to "Anibel" Ann Melick. This is wrong. Ann Melick Died in Oldwick Ca 1778 (Listed in the Zion Lutheran Church records as wife of Peter. Peter son of Jacob B-1747 who died before April 27 1837 & NAMES NO CHILDREN OF HIS OWN. His will was very detailed & named each of his brother's sons named Peter, including Peter Dennis (probable son of his Aunt Catherine married to John Nicholas Dennis) Who he left the farm too. He also left a sum to his brother John & wf Phoebe Truesdale to build a Comfortable Home. His brother may have been an epileptic or some such as he was in the Poor House. Phoebe built the home & it was still standing as recently as 1980's though I believe it's gone now.. I wish to thank you for the ROOF FILES. They are an important part of our family history. I also find the GED.COM files very helpful, they save a great deal of time & trouble. I have been following your Email very carefully. Again I thank you.

I will send a check for $27.50 U S to: Sir Guy Carleton Branch, 71 Somerset St. W. (Apt.1805), Ottawa, ON, K2P 2G2, Canada. We had a very successful Mini-Reunion in Clinton three weeks ago. Visited John's B-1720 Milstone first home in Middle Valley Morris County. The house has been restored to Museum Level, which includes an old Milk House; and the probable "John Hendershot's" Barn which Muhlenberg refers to in his Journals. We are in the process of arranging another in Buck Valley possibly in August. BETTY & FRANK --part1_24a6bbb2.249fb82b_boundary--

Later going through the Northumberland County records we found the sale of the same patent to DAVID IRELAND. Michael & Naomi acquired the property in 1774 & in 1775 sold a piece of it to David Ireland "adjoining other property of said Michael & Naomi Hendershot." It is possible he was speculating & I immediately began searching, thinking, he probably bought near the Wyoming Massacre. I searched Northumberland, Montour, Columbia and Luzerne Counties. No Luck. It is possible however there might be something in Union or Snyder County. The County lines were not clear to me & the records may be some place else. I have copied the Militia Files of Sussex & Roxbury. There are also a few maps. 1775, which show Hardyston and it's proximity to the Drowned Lands & Orange County. Roxbury is also adjoining Hardyston. I also found Jacob in Roxbury. He is most likely Jacob, son of Jerimiah, probably brother of Michael (& Phoebe) & most likely father of Jerimiah who married Angeline Milham. Casper, whose "third?" wife was Margaret Drake Bond; daughter of Charles Drake, is also a likely son of Jerimiah of the 1773 Roxbury Revolutionary Census. The above named Casper makes a weak case for Jerimiah being son of Casper B-1699. Christopher who married Christine Smith (# 3 ) is a likely brother of Jerimiah. He also lived in Morris County. I will send copies of the census on in a day or so. BETTY & FRANK --part1_3d07552d.249fb416_boundary--

Hello all, I have been asked to be the new administrator of this list. I have been making some changes in the way the list will operate and testing is needed. In order to do this, and not fill up your mailbox, I am going to unsubscribe you for a day or two. During that time, Karen, Pahendrsht@aol.com, and I will send messages to the list to check how it is running. We will also make changes to the welcome messages. Then, the list will be ready to go, full speed ahead. Advertising of the list will then take place, to bring in more subscribers and get things rolling. See you again soon! If you have questions, please contact me. Helen Hendershot Eisler geisler1@aol.com
