Please be patient. I had a death in my family. Will do lookup requests next week. Thanks, Flo. Day -- <[email protected]>

Greetings: I am new to the list, and am posting a synopsis of the information I have come across so far for my Whitnah family. My grandfather is Carroll Whitnah; his own father, Charles, was born in OHIO, but came from a long line of Martinsburg, Berkely county Whitnahs. The earliest anscestor is a direct line from Gramps to Martin Weidknecht - Wide Neck, if you will. He was born and died in Bahden, GE, His own son, Andreas did as well. However, Andreas is the father of Johannes Georg Weidknecht, who came to the NJ area (Then New Amsterdam) in the early or mid 1600's. The famiily cell divided once or twice, and almost all moved into Martinsburg Berkeley County WV. Why they all moved from New Amsterdam is almost certainly a policitcal story. They were very closely associated with the families Burns (scots) and VanMetre (dutch) who all apparently moved to WV with them. THese family names aare all intermingled - First generations of them married each other and their children then married each other, and even my Grandfather had an Aunt Anne Van Metre, so there. There Johannes was Widknecht, and his son, Heindrick was Wiedknach. His sons were Whitnach, and then some then became Whitenack, and others (my John G. and his bro. Joseph and William) metamorphosized into Whitnah. John G. Whitnahs' Son was Eli Carroll, his son Charles, and his son Carroll, my Gramps. Then mom. Then Me. Heindrick had nearly 12 children. Before the Rev War - 1730-40 or so, the WV Family, Heindrick at the head, moved to Livingston County NY, where they proliferated, and many can still be found as Whithach or Whitenack in some way. Some, apparently, stayed in WV, including John G. who was born anad died in WV. Some of his contemporaries were in Jefferson County, WV. The county then was Frederick county, VA, what might be now called "Old Frederick County" from what I have read - either the Martinsburg ones or the Jefferson County ones. Land was dealt out to several in Iron County MO, (by Burnses, no doubt) and some can still be found there. Too, land was inherited by some (Hendrick's kids, I think) in WI (had to have been Van Metres' hand in those) and there are the traces there. The Martinsburg Whitnahs moved to OHIO and were there only a generation (Eli's) before Eli moved to Illinois, where other Whitnahs awaited him - I wonder if they might have been quakers, because Eli married a Quaker woman, Sophia Evans, and her Evans people moved to OHIO from South Carolina around the same time Eli moved to the same part of OHIO to a Meeting that adheared to "no slavery" sentimients. Supposedly, Hendrick and the kin who went to Livingston Co NY left WV because of anit-slavery sentiment. I wonder if that meant that my people stayed because of a difference in opionion. So far, most info has this as family rumor. I found all of this info only a week ago. So interesting. The illinois Whitnahs, Eli and his son, Charles, went to Beaver Creek NE in 1890, where Gramps was born 1892. Eli went back to Ilinois and was bured there, in 1902, whilst Charles stayed in NE, where Carroll and his brothers and sister grew up - Mark, Scott and Evelyn. All my life, I knew Granpa as a mid-westerner, but when, near the end, he was found chopping down trees in the woods, my mother and Grandma said its really his West Virginia roots, you know. He's a woodsman at heart and loved the mountains. It was then that I remembered the songs he sang - Oh, Shennandoah. He talked about the Smoky Mountains and about the Blue Ridge mountains, and, when I was little, even then I thought it strange, he should be waxing nostalgic about the Rockies, shouldn't he? I remember West Virginia, now. I remember Gramps telling me about West Virginia. Now I know why. I would love to find info about any Whitnahs, on this list. Charlene, if you are able to do any lookups, I did see a Whitenack or so on the list of the page you referenced. I would be most interested in anything you might find about anyone of the surnames in the subject field. I am hoping to find specific history on these family memebers and any relatives and hopefullY, through this list, some places and associations they might have had. Also, service records. Thanks, Charlene, and anyone else with any interest or information. I re Cheryl L. Higgins [email protected]

Notes for RICHARDSON GARMONG: [Gormong.FTW] A postcard in the possession of Susan Hannum addressed to him as Mr. Richard Gorman, Dennison, IL, reads: "Aug 19, 1881 Eugene Ind Dear Brother when you see manuel and hear anything about the property please write and let me know and when you see Anna tell her that I would like for to send me the two dollars she owes me I wanted to see her before I come away but did not get too [sic] I want you and Rhoda to take good care of Mother and be sure and write and let me know of [sic] she gets sick write soon I will be anxious to hear from you Molly" This postcard would have been written within two years of the death of Emanuel Sr. The "manuel" mentioned must be Richard's brother Emanuel. With Jonas in Tennessee and Calvin, Charles and James all dead, Emanuel would have been the eldest available son, likely the one to care for his father's estate. Perhaps the property in question was the estate. "Anna" may be his sister Ann Rebecca. The mother, Rebecca, evidently lived with Richard and Rhoda after her husband's death. "Molly" is evidently Mary, Richard's immediately older sister. Children of RICHARDSON GARMONG and RHODA WILLIAMS are: i. BLANCHE IDA4 GARMONG97,98, m. (1) ORIE ROGERS99,100; m.

Found an entry at Virgnia marriages search on Ancestry.com for a marriage between Eliza W. Littler and Samuel Wilson in Frederick Co., 21 Feb. 1822. My ancestor is a Samuel Wilson who married an Eliza. Before 1800, the Littler family built the estate near Winchester called *Rocktown* also known later as *Kenilworth*, a granddaughter of Samuel & Eliza later inherited money from that estate, and I'm hoping a connection will help with info on Samuel Wilson who is my current brick wall. I'm hoping that this marriage is him-- any Littler researchers out there who can shed some light on this marriage?

Not long ago someone asked where Virginia's nickname "The Old Dominion" came from. This is from the official source at State Library in VA: Hornbook of Virginia History, fourth edition - p. 88: "The most popular and enduring of Virginia's many nicknames is the Old Dominion. While this name clearly refers to Virginia's status as England's oldest colony in the Americas, it is impossible to trace the origin of the term with precision. Captain John Smith referred to the Jamestown colony as Old Virginia, a designation later used to distinguish the Chesapeake settlements from those in Massachusetts, which were collectively called New Virginia (and eventually, New England). A 1629 letter from Lord Baltimore to England's Charles I mentioned the king's dominion of Virginia. In 1660 Charles II acknowledged a gift of silk from "our auntient dominion of Virginia." In 1663 Virginia's new seal bore the motto En Dat Virginia Quintum (Behold, Virginia Gives the Fifth), recognizing the colony's status alongside the king's four other dominions of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland. As early as 1699, the phrase "most Ancient Colloney and Dominion" appeared in official state documents." Sara Patton

Phil, How about three excerpts from the book? If you need more, I can use the "paste" method, without having to retype it. Flo.

He willed the lower section with all other adjacent land to his son John Plank. Additional bequests were: 68 acres to his son-in-law Herman Livingood, 89 acres on Passage Creek to his son-in-law John Craibill and 110 acres to his son-in-law Joseph Baker.
