What nationality is Garmong. I have a Christian GARMONG that had a daughter Susannah GARMONG mrd Jacob SAGER in 1804 Frederick co. Va. Then a Christian GARMONG that had a son Squire GARMONG b. abt 1801 mrd Louise MITCHELL abt 1833 Frederick Co. Va. One of these Christain list Squire as his son on his will but doesn't list any other children. I know their was a Emanuel GARMONG in Clarke Co. Va. b. abt 1802 probably Squire brother. Emanuel children moved to California in the late 1890's or early 1900's and change the spelling of their surname to GARMAN. Any help would be greatly appricated. Thank you, Esther Clark McDermott

Help! Is anyone researching the Stephenson surname? I believe my ancestors origins are in Fredrick County, but am not positive at this point. I have traced my line back to James Stephenson who was born in Virginia in 1798. I believe this James to have been the son of James Stephenson and Margaret Smith. Does anyone know anything about these James? Was James (the spouse of Margaret Smith) the son of James Stephenson and Anne Garner? I would really appreciate any help . David Stephenson

-- [ From: Dory and Dave Lichtenberger * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] -- I would love to hear from anyone searching these families, especially Andrew CALDWELL who died and left a will in Berkeley Co Dec 1790/Jan 1791. There appears to be a close alliance between him and my HAYS family. Do hope I'll hear from y'all and thanks! Dory Lichtenberger <SWZP46A@prodigy.com)

Does anyone have siblings or other children for Jacob BOWMAN (Sr) or Wendell BOWMAN of Lancaster Co, PA listed below?

Cindy, I think you meant this for Twila, but I also have Martin's as follows: Johannes (John) MARTIN b. about 1730, unknown where. He purchased land in Fayette Co, PA in 1785. His wife was Anna Margareth -----? Children: Anna Elizabetha b. abt 1754, married Ludwig SCHICK, John Jr. b abt 1757 m. Appolonia BUCHER, Anna Barbara b. abt 1760 m. George BUCHER Sr, Anna Catharina b. abt 1764 m. Bernard NOGLE and Christiana b. abt 1767 m. Caspar YOUNG. Children are all listed as heirs of Johannes in a deed in Fayette Co, PA in 1838. I don't know where Johannes lived before buying the land in PA. but thought he might have been in VA. I have a YOUNG family, not connected to Caspar (that I know of), who were in Berkeley Co, VA. They were also Germans originally named JUNG. Any help would be appreciated. Sincerely Carol Wilson At 08:49 AM 9/22/97 -0400, you wrote: >What area of Virginia are your Martins from?

Hello, I have a MARTIN line from Johannes MARTIN born about 1730, unknown where, but he purchased land in Fayette Co, PA in 1785 and died there. He had one son John Jr. and 4 daughters. One daughter married Ludwig SCHICK, my line. Also have a large HOUSE family originating in Germany and to Frederick Co, MD. They then went into PA and from there to OH. This is the William HOUSE b 22 Mar 1722, and written about in many MD books. Would be happy to exchange with anyone on these lines.

Hi: Since there have been several postings on the Bowman surname recently, I thought I would repost my info in search of a few new cousins! Do any of these name look familiar? For my BOWMAN/RHOADS family, I have the following information: * BOWMAN, THOMAS b~1769 in South Branch of the Potomac River area BOWMAN, THOMAS (adult) 1787 Tax List-Berkley Co. VA * RHOADS/RHODES etc., JANE b~1769 in South Branch of the Potomac River area (married Thomas Bowman) BOMAN, CHARLES 1774- Dunmore's War on Capt. M.

Peter Shoul * BOWMAN, CHARLES b~1797 son of Thomas and Jane Rhodes Bowman Only the * names are definitely my ancestors, the others are possible connections. I suspect that the Charles Bo(w)man associated with Michael Cresap may have been the father or uncle of my 5G Grandfather Thomas Bowman. Thomas Bowman and son(s) were boat builders in the Wheeling WV area on the 1820 US Census. They moved to the Vermillion Co. IN /Vermilion Co. IL area in the late 1820's along with several inter-related families: Morgan, Cochran and Prickett and others. Thomas and Jane Bowman had the following children: CHARLES b~1797/1798 who married CATHERINE COCHRAN on23May1816 in Tyler Co. WV; they had the following children: JANE b~1817, married PETER WELLS 12Nov1833 in Vermillion Co. IN; DRUSILLA b~1820 in VA/WV, married GEORGE W. NOLAN on 18Sep1843 in Vermillion Co. IN,they were my 3G Grandparents. Drusilla died 24Nov1874 in Guthrie Co. IA, George died 1881 in Cerro Gordo Co. IA.

Children of Moses and Nancy Miller Bowman: Mary (Prather); John; Alice (Price); Cornelius; Thomas; Mariah (Henderson);Ellen (Foster); George; Margaret; Catherine (Cossy). MARIA : married STEPHEN BAINBRIGE 22Aug1839 in Vermillion Co. IN; and probably other unknown children of Thomas and Jane. These Bowman men are found near Thomas: JOHN: in Tyler Co. WV near Thomas and Jane Bowman in 1820 Census DANIEL: listed with Moses and Charles Bowman in Vermillion Co. IN early land owners in the History of Vermillion Co. IN; GEORGE: married Elizabeth Miller on 30 Oct1843 in Vermillion Co. IN, she was a relative, possibly a sister to Moses Bowman's first wife Nancy Miller; I don't have their ages, they could be sons or brothers/nephews/cousins of Thomas Bowman. Thomas and Jane Bowman's son Charles married Catherine Cochran and I think that her family were Methodists at that time. Charles and Catherine's son Stephen Franklin obit says that he and his wife Sarah converted to the United Brethren Church 3 years after their marriage (~1858) then eventually united with the Methodist Church. Stephen Franklin Bowman was the brother of my 3G Grandmother Drusilla Bowman Nolan. ################ Note from Susan: I have recently found some info on the LDS Ancestral file which shows the above Charles ( who served in the Rev. War), as a son of John Hance Bowman, but doesn't list that Charles' children. I do think that my Thomas (born ~1767-1769 near the South Branch of the Potomac River, possibly a son of Charles of the Rev War) ties into this Bowman family found on the MD/VA border. I also have some info on a BOWMAN that I haven't tied to mine yet but they may be related. This was sent to me because Jackson Co. Iowa borders Allamakee Co. Iowa . ******************************** From "History of Jackson Co. Iowa 1989": 'JACOB BOWMAN b 14Nov1798 at Mt. Clinton, VA son of PETER and MARY HEATWOLE BOWMAN. Peter Bowman's father JACOB BOWMAN was the first settler in Bucks Co. PA. Jacob Bowman's father WENDELL BOWMAN was the first settler in Lancaster Co. PA, having migrated from Switzerland in 1707, a member of the Mennonite Pequot Creek Settlement. Jacob Bowman (the 2nd) married ELIZABETH KEISTER 30Nov1823 at Franklin, VA. She was the daughter of GEORGE and SUSAN PECK KEISTER and grandaughter of FREDRICK and HANNAH DYER KEISTER. Jacob and Elizabeth had 14 children, 11 of which migrated to Jackson Co. IA with their parents in 1851. They came from Mt. Clinton to Parkersberg VA on the Ohio River and from there down the Ohio to the Mississippi, then north to Jackson Co. IA. The children of Jacob and Elizabeth: GEORGE WASHINGTON; JACOB KEISTER; WILLIAM MALCOM; BENJAMIN FRANKLIN; STEPHEN HAMILTON; SUSAN (LARY); MARY FRANCES (KENDALL); SARAH (DEAN) ; HANNAH (RATHBURN); NANCY (SIMS); ELIZABETH (SIMS); and POLLY, JOHN and "an infant who died." ************************* Even if it only looks remotely like there may be a connection, please let me know. Sometimes it is just the naming patterns that help make the "vital clue". It has just been the last year or so that I have made the connection from my 3G Grandmother Drusilla Bowman Nolan to her parents Charles and Catherine Cochran Bowman and her grandparents Thomas and Jane Rhoads Bowman. This came about by finding similar naming patterns and then tracking down Charles' will and finding bio's in various places. Several distant cousins had been using the wrong names for Drusilla Bowman Nolan's parents for 20 to 30 years and therefore were not getting anywhere! I live in Houston, TX. We have a good genealogy library here. I will gladly do reciprocal research for you.

Doug, did your Cornelius Bowman have a daughter Lukinsie born December 16, 1801 in TN? She is an ancester of mine, and recently a new net-cousin informed me her father was a Cornelius Bowman, but was unsure of whch one, as there were several possibles. Lukinsie lived in Johnson Co., Tn and married Samuel Howard. Pam jcress@tfs.net

What area of Virginia are your Martins from? What are their names. Let me know and I will check my line to see if it connects. Cindy

Carol. I am a double Potter, Emma Mira from Duchess Co NY 1829 and Caroline Potter of PA 1830-1840. I have a bunch of Potter stuff I gleaned from Everton's,United,and FTM. If you have some names I could check to see if any match. I haven't checked LDS yet but have some info from the Pennsylvania Historical Society in Pittsburg. Ie, there were 10 major Potter lines that came over in the early years. As soon as I get a larger disk I'm going to collate and expand my Potter Data Base. There's a lot of them out there but somewhere along the line there probably related to Le Potere. RSVP Bob

Carol: I am a descendant of Cornelius Bowman b 1740, d 1826 in Clay County, KY, m Susannah Abbott. He seems to be issue of an immaculate conception. I have been unable to find anything on his parents. I keep working on it hoping to find something someday. I am suspicious that he comes from a German Baumann line, but have nothing even suggestive of that. English/Irish Bowmans in the VA and NC where I find Cornelius to have been seem to have arrived in the Colonies after 1740. Are you a Bowman?

Hi, I am Twila Shiverdecker Costello. e-mail twilac@ix.netcom.com My research lines are as follows: Shiverdecker/Sheverdecker/Sheveldakers/ Sheffendaker/Shiveldicker, Floyd, Weaver, Martin, Purtee/Partee, Renz, Bauer, Requarth, Neitert, Dismeier, Treibold, Gurwell, Grissom, Ridgely, Hague, Dunkin, Burns, Wysong, Hammer, Gard, Rex, Garrett, House, and Wolverton. The line for Shiverdecker (?Spellings) starts in Va. around 1750's. Michael was a Rev. War Soldier according to the Va. Militia list and Preble Co. Ohio list of War Pensioners. In the Va. Militia list a Jacob ?Spelling Shiveltaker is listed. Jacob seems to be Michaels father according to deeds for property purchased in Stephensburg in 1765. I realize this is actually Stephens City Va. present day. Michael sold his lots and moved to Kanawha Co. in 1792. This area is now W. V. The family moved to Ohio around 1820 approx. and Michael died in Preble Co. Ohio 1833. His wife was Ann Garrett b approx. 176? d. 1845 in Preble Co. Ohio. My Purtee line is George b. approx. 1756 in the Blue Lickes of Kentucky. According to Kentucky no white children were born in that area that early in the century. It could have been Penn., W.V., or Va. so if any info on the Purtee line I would appreciate it. This is a pretty lone first note. If you have any suggestions for me I am open to any and all help I can get. Love Twila
