I don't think it was just my ears... Here's the thing. As you know, Tecumseh's daughter, Jennie, married Shadrach Penn. Shadrach was a direct descendent of William Penn, The Founder. William is my 7th (I think) grandfather twice. He had just a few books printed up for his children ONLY that has to do with how he wanted us to conduct our lives in such a way that God would find acceptable, as well as some plain old-fashioned fatherly advice and wisdom. I'm the proud owner of one of these books. (These books were printed in Philadelphia, PA). Down through time, whoever has owned the book I have has signed their name on the inside cover and some also added the date that they received the book. The surname was Penn for quite a while ALWAYS, then there was a man in Pennsylvania named Lightfoot who owned it prior to it being given to my double gggg-grandfather, Shadrach Penn. As I stated, Shadrach Penn married Tecumseh's daughter, Jennie. I have ! never checked to see if Mr. Lightfoot was married to a Penn woman but I'm assuming that he was. I don't have the book in front of me and I can't remember his first name. I'm thinking it was Henry or something similiar to that. Does any of this sound familiar to you? I'll get this book out one day and give you the Lightfoot name in it as well as the exact name of the book :) If anyone else around here starts getting snotty with us, I'll just e-mail you that info, too!

Author: lorenaknoch1 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.ohio.unknown/12973/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am trying to find a date of death & place of burial for Maria/Mary KNOCH. We don't have a birth record for Maria but information in our family Bible appears to give her date of birth as January or July 1823. We have been unable to determine the correct spelling of her maiden name, but it may not help if we did as her name is spelled differently on every document we find. Her marriage record shows "Goltatne", her son's death certificate lists her as "Goldney" and her daughter's death cert says "Goltaire" or "Galtaire." Maria married Harmon/Herman KNOCH in Ross Co, OH in 1840. They are together in the Ohio census records until after Harmon's death in 1866. Mary married William A Doyle in 1867 and is found with him in the 1870 census in Huntington Twp, Ross co. along with two of her daughters, Phoebe & Louisa. In 1880, Maria/Mary is living with her daughter Phoebe who has married John WEATHERSPOON. They are in Clinton co, Ohio, and Maria is listed as "Mary KNOCH", mother-in-l! aw to John. I do not find her in the 1900 census of Ohio. If you have a connection to this family, or advice for me regarding this search, I would appreciate hearing from you. Surnames connected with Harmon & Maria's children are: COX, FRESHOUR, HILLMAN, PURDUM, REASTER/REESTER/REISTER, ROBINSON, ROONEY, WETHERSPOON/WEATHERSPOON Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hi list, site updated (link below) with hundreds of removal orders and Settlement Examinations. These documents name folks who for one reason or another are not in their respective parishes and are "missing". For whatever reason they are in Derbyshire and these documents detail where they came from, some give ages, where they were born, and other interesting pieces of information. Take a look at Melbourne Settlement Examination R175SE for another piece of useful information unlikely to be found elsewhere. mike -- http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~spire/Yesterday/index.htm

Author: carolyntomaka Surnames: Tomaka Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.ohio.unknown/3482.3.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi I'm a Tomaka. I found an interesting article concerning NY Immigrants. Index of 1890-1891 New York Immigrants from Austria, Poland, and Galicia Compiled by Dr. Howard M. Relles This is an index to all of the immigrants who arrived at the port of New York by ship in the years 1890 and 1891, for whom the ship's records indicated that they were citizens of Austria, Poland, or Galicia. There are a total of 96,699 such records. The source of this data is the U.S. National Archives' (NARA) microfilmed copies of the original ships' passenger manifests, prepared at the time of embarkation from the particular overseas ports. The complete title and bibliographic citation are: National Archives Microfilm Publication M237: "Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at New York, NY, 1820-1897": Rolls #543-#580, Jan. 2, 1890 to Dec. 31, 1891; published by the National Archives, National Archives and Records Service, General Services Administration, Washington, DC, 1958. Microfilms of the 1890-1891 New York passenger arrival manifests are available at several branches of NARA, including Washington, DC; New York City; Waltham, MA; Pittsfield, MA; Denver, CO and Chicago, IL. The microfilms can also be found at several large public libraries, such as the New York Public Library, the Boston Public Library, the Allen County Public Library (Fort Wayne, IN), the Dallas Public Library (Texas), the Houston Public Library (Texas) and the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. These microfilms can also be borrowed through any of the more than 3,500 local LDS Family History Centers. (See here for LDS microfilm ordering numbers). About this database This database is an index to the 1890-1891 New York passenger arrival manifests, including only those passengers who indicated that they were citizens of Austria, Poland, or Galicia. There are a total of 96,699 names in this index - 44,052 for 1890, and 52,647 for 1891. The fields in the index are as follows: Surname and Given Name of the passenger. National Archives soundex code, computed. Date of Arrival into New York, in Year/Month/Day format. Microfilm Reel Number (from the US National Archives' microfilm publication M237). Ship's Name. Ship's Number (the sequential number designated on the NARA microfilm). Line Number of this passenger in the ship's manifest. Notes: An abbreviation meant to convey special information about the passenger, as follows: w = with relatives, usually grouped together with others with the same last name. p = citizen of Poland g = citizen of Galicia d = deleted; a line was drawn through the name indicating the person probably did not sail. m = miscellaneous additional list, other than the main or large steerage list. Occasionally, for example, there were separate numbered lists for each class of passenger. (In the 1890 data, if "p" or "g" is not present in the abbreviation field, it means that the passenger was listed as an Austrian citizen. These codes were not used in the 1891 data). Additional information about each passenger may be available on the microfilmed ship manifest. This may include the immigrant's age, sex, marital status, final destination, calling (occupation), assigned living space on the ship, and number of pieces of luggage. Occasionally, in these 1890-1891 records, a town of origin may be included. There were a total of about 2,000 ship voyages per year recorded in the the 1890-1891 rolls of microfilms. Of those 4,000 voyages, 1,375 voyages had at least one passenger on board who was listed as a citizen of Austria, Poland, or Galicia. There were 136 unique ships with that characteristic. Here is a table of the 1,375 voyages, alphabetical by ship name, with corresponding dates of arrival and microfilm numbers. Other Observations A very small number (perhaps 1%) of the ship's records do not have the individual passenger's lines numbered. In those cases, for the purpose of this index, each passenger's line was assigned a number by counting from the beginning of that ship's record. Some manifests have more than one numbered list. Therefore, any researcher taking down a Line No. and planning on getting the rest of the immigrant's information by going to the microfilmed manifest at NARA (or other places) should know that they might need to scan for another numbered list if their immigrant is not on the first such list. This index contains only those 1890-1891 New York immigrants who responded "Austria", "Poland", or "Galicia" to the question: "What is your country of citizenship?" It is important to note that the first two of these answers could have more that one meaning each. In the latter part of the 18th century, Poland was divided up and taken over by the three great surrounding powers: Austria, Russia, and Prussia (Germany). After the completion of this division in 1795, there was officially no longer a country named Poland. However, as can be seen on these 1890 ship's records, many people still responded that their country of citizenship was Poland. Interestingly, these responders were probably 3-4 generations later than their ancestors who had been alive when Poland's breakup was completed 95 years earlier. Obviously, a strong nationalistic message was making its way down through the generations. (Of the 96,699 immigrants that make up this index, 60% said "Austria", 39% said! "Poland", and 1% said "Galicia"). The "Poland" response could imply that they came from three different regions of the original country: Austrian (southern) Poland, a region also known as Galicia; Russian (eastern) Poland; or Prussian (western) Poland. "Austria", on the other hand, could mean Austria itself, Austrian Poland (Galicia), or other parts of the Austrian Empire (Bohemia, Moravia, Bukovina, Transylvania, etc.). Judging from the first and last names of the small number who responded "Galicia", they were most likely from Austrian Poland rather than from the area of Spain known by the same name. Here is an analysis of the most popular given names of these passengers. The majority of these ships came from the German ports of Hamburg and Bremen. The German ships generally had the largest numbers of Austrians/Poles/Galicians per ship. Ships from England, France, and Holland usually had a relatively smaller number per ship. This index cannot claim to be complete. What are known to be left out are a small number of records, probably a few hundred, that were illegible or undecipherable on the microfilms.
