I would appreciate any help available for sources of information regarding citizens of Winchester for the years starting 1737. I have: "Historical Records of old Frederick & Hamp. Co.s" I have seen some of the list of 1744 Fee Book. Is there a Fee book list for later years? 1754 for instance. Is there any other type of census? I am trying to determine when JOSEPH WILLIAMS OF WINCHESTER DIED. Any help? Sandy

According to "German Origins of Jost Hite" by Jones-Connor-Wust the "sixteen" families are Jost Hite, Peter Stephan (later Stephens), George Bowman, Paul Froman, Jacob Chrisman, John Funk, Christian Neuschwanger, Ulrich Burger, David Gerlach(Carlock), Michael Brock, Henry Falkenberg, Jacob Falkenberg, Andrew Falkenberg, Robert McKay, Robert Green, and William Duff. I'm still searching for the origin of Peter Stephan who claimed on his naturalization papers that he was born in 1690 in Hidelburg on the River Mayne, Empire of Germany (?) The Main River and the university city of Heidelburg don't converge. If anyone knows please reply. Thanks, Mary Jane Stephens Hennon in St. Louis

Thanks, Sharon and Jon, for your interesting post. While I have no data for your family please know that your posting will be available in the archives for folks who come along later to search these archives. Follow-ups at much later dates do occur, people just need to know how to search the archives (the how-to link is periodically posted at the bottom of messages by the list-owner.) As to 'ridge runner,' in my area this nick-name is often given to folks who live/have lived in 'hill-country' anywhere, i.e. those who 'run the ridges' to get anywhere. Many families, including mine, located only in 'hill-country' for generations as they migrated to westward locales. Moving 'out on the prairie' for the first time was often a traumatic experience for pioneers. The virgin prairie-grass sod was difficult to till (6'-8' tall), streams were often not nearby for water, game was not so readily abundant, wood (timber) for burning and construction materials was more limited, high winds were more troublesome without hills/timber for a buffer, people (neighbors) were often more spread apart with less contact, medical assistance was more distant, close family members were left behind and the 'entire picture' could be rather depressing. The 'up-side' was the fertile soil provided much better yields and income, the number of neighbors quickly grew resulting in the estab! lishment of towns, commerce and industry, etc.... and, uh.... the picture is still depressing. (We greatly enjoy visiting/exploring the hill-country locales of our ancestors and living family, so do our 'kids.')

[Sharon Banzhoff recommended I post the following to the Old Frederick County list. I've primarily posted it to various Maryland mailing lists, but there is a Virginia connection, and this connection might be in the Shenandoah Valley area (e.g.., Woodstock). There is a family anecdote of the Kirby's being "Ridge Runners" at one time, whatever that means -- I'm a Minnesotan/Californian/Utahn, so this term is foreign to me -- does it mean "Blue Ridge Mountains" area?] Hello, I am doing research on my wife's paternal line of Kirby. If you can help me find some information, please let me know. I've already spent almost three years working on the Kirby lineage, and am finding it tough going as I'll describe below. And this is despite the *huge* amount of documentation I've gathered for Edmund Wesley Kirby (see next). ------------------ My wife's gg-gf was Rev./Dr. Edmund Wesley Kirby, born April 1831 somewhere in Virginia (possibly in the Shenandoah Valley area, or near to Washington, DC). His parents were John H. Kirby, who was born in Maryland, and Mary Ann Mansfield, who was born in England. I know nothing else about John and Mary Kirby. I have reason to believe that the Kirby family lived in the Harford/Cecil /Washington Co./Baltimore/or DC area for a certain amount of time in the late 18th, early 19th centuries Three reasons for this: First, there are recurring family anecdotes of the Kirby's hailing from Maryland after immigrating: 1) Havre de Grace, 2) Chesapeake Bay, 3) Hagerstown, and 4) Cecil County (specifically, an ancestor who was a sheriff of Cecil County -- I have been in touch with the Cecil County Sheriff historian, and there was no one by the name of "Kirby" who served as Sheriff, though he may have served as a deputy, or it was a maternal family I am not aware of yet.) [Note for OLD-FREDERICK-CO-VA-L: Above I mentioned them being "Ridge Runners" as well.] Second, Edmund Wesley Kirby, who became a Methodist Episcopal minister, was recommended for ordination Feb. 1853 by the West Harford Circuit of the Baltimore-Washington Conference of the ME Church (why there?). And late in life, when he divorced his wife, he "fled" to Washington D.C., for mysterious and unknown reasons (between 1853 and 1890, he lived exclusively in Central Pennsylvania and Philadelphia -- that is, he seemed to have no contacts with Washington, DC). Third, as I just mentioned, John H. Kirby was born in Maryland. If John H. Kirby was between 20 and 40 years old when his son Edmund was born, that would place his birth between 1790 and 1810, though it could be a little earlier, of course. He apparently was a devout Methodist, since he gave the middle-name of "Wesley" to his son. I also surmise he either temporarily or permanently moved to Virginia where his son Edmund was born. Where in Virginia is not known. (It might be in Shenandoah Valley due to the fact that Edmund's first annual ministry was in Woodstock, Virginia, and by ME tradition the first ministry is performed in the area the minister has family -- he did all of his subsequent ministries in Central Pennsylvania which was his actual assignment area -- in 1872 Edmund left the ME Church, moved to Philadelphia, attended to Hahnemann Homeopathic College, and became a doctor.) I did check to see if John H. Kirby was an ordained ME minister himself, but the Baltimore-Washington Methodist Church historian could not find any records of a John H. Kirby. But he could have been involved in some lay capacity, or the Methodist records are incomplete. Of course, I've done a lot of digging into the Census records, but have not yet found anything which is a positive hit. The LDS Family History Library's holdings for Harford, Cecil, Washington, and Baltimore Counties are unusually sparse as well, and in what they do have, I have not found any hits. Regarding Edmund's mother Mary Ann Mansfield, born in England, I know nothing about her -- nothing. All I have is her name, where she was born (England), and an old photograph of her in old age, holding a Bible. I've tried looking for a "Mary/Ann Kirby" in the Census records, but found nothing which matches her profile. There is another small curious fact. In the 1860 census, while Edmund was serving in central Pennsylvania, living with him was a "Joseph Kirby", and his wife "Mary", both of whom were born in Maryland ca. 1840. Joseph Kirby is obviously related to Edmund, and could either be a younger brother or cousin. Another link to Maryland. If Joseph is a brother, then John H. Kirby moved back to Maryland from Virginia. If a cousin, then that shows an extended Kirby family in Maryland. I have not been able to trace what happened to Joseph Kirby after 1860. As further clues, it is possible that allied (or maternal) families to Edmund Kirby's ancestry include "Russell" and "Boston". This may or may not be important for finding information on John H. Kirby. Any advice/help to find out about who this John H. Kirby is, and where he came from, and his ancestry, would be most appreciated. Thanks! Jon Noring

Will be glad to look up names for you in "Bly Family History". Let me know who you are looking for. Betty

Do not have the book you requested but do have "A History of the Bly Family" by Daniel W. Bly. You can probably acquire his other book by contacting him: Daniel W. Bly, P.O. Box 242, Mt. Sidney, VA 24467. Good luck. Betty Hartman

Hi gang..wanted to know if anyone knows how I can get a copy of Daniel Blys book "From the Rhine to the Shenandoah", I have been trying to find it everywhere with no luck...thanks Researching Windle/Wendel, Cummins, Moon, James, Jenkins [email protected]

Dear List Members, I don't normally write to anyone complaining about something but this has got me upset. Someone is kind enough to offer lookups for all of us and some of you are complaining about it. Then it gets to a point where she feels she has to apoligize for it. Come on people there is something very wrong with this picture. If it wern't for a few nice people offering lookups like this a lot of people would never find any clues to their ancestors. Some people don't have the resources, and are physically or geographicly unable to spend countless hours in a library or courthouse searching for something that might be at someone else's finger tips. I was taught as a child to give a helping hand when I could and to keep my opinions about others to myself. It is a shame everyone doesn't learn that lesson. I always thought that people who shared the love of geneology were like family and cared about one another. I guess my family was different than some of yours. Some of you reading this may may feel that you have wasted your time but I feel that the majority of the true geneologists will feel that this had to be said. Respectfully Yours. Gary Roper

I am very interested in connections and information to the surnames WHITEMAN, COOKUS, ATHEY/ATHY, PURGITT/PURGETT. My family connections are prevalent in the counties of Frederick, Hampshire, Berkeley, Hardy, Morgan, Jefferson, Grant, and Mineral. Any help with these names would be very much appreciated.

People who worry about the volume of e-mail generated by lists such as this one might be happier with the "digest" version of the list. That's what I get, and I find it very manageable -- saves having to open dozens of messages a day. Meanwhile, a suggestion: when replying to another message, please pause before hitting the "send" button and give your message a quick inspection. - Is it going to the right person? (And please remember that "unsubscribe" messages go *not* to <[email protected]> but to <[email protected]> or <[email protected]>). - Does the "Subject:" line describe the contents? - Has your e-mail software echoed too much of the original message? (If so, please cut it down to the essentials.) These are small courtesies, but they do help to make the world a better place. Thanks, Robert Coontz Waukesha, Wisconsin

Earlier I wrote: Does anyone have the 1870 census that is willing to do a lookup for me? A kind reader has checked HARDY county and has suggested that GRANT COUNTY would be where I might look since Grant formed after the 1860 and before the 1870 Census. Does anyone have the GRANT COUNTY 1870 Census? I am interested in the James GEORGE family that appeared on the 1850 and 1860 census living in Hardy county, if they are still in the county they should be listed as: James GEORGE 33 age 1860, Phebe 31 age 1860, Gabriel GEORGE 10 age 1860, Mary GEORGE 7 age 1860 and Christian GEORGE 6 age 1860 Their daughter Sofronia married Martin ALT in Green county Ohio, I am trying to determine if she migrated or if the entire family did. Thank you so much, Elaine [email protected]

Does anyone have the 1870 census that is willing to do a lookup for me? I am interested in the James GEORGE family that appeared on the 1850 and 1860 census living in Hardy county, if they are still in the county they should be listed as: James GEORGE 33 age 1860, Phebe 31 age 1860, Gabriel GEORGE 10 age 1860, Mary GEORGE 7 age 1860 and Christian GEORGE 6 age 1860 Their daughter Sofronia married Martin ALT in Green county Ohio, I am trying to determine if she migrated or if the entire family did.
