I will look at the book to see any relationship - the Hewitts in my family came from somewhere in the British Isles to Connecticut in the mid-1600s. Robert Hewitt appears to be the only one who left CT after the Civil War and came to PA. His daughter Abigail married Charles Haller in Washington County, MD. The family was there for a while, at least long enough for the Haller daughter to marry Francis Hamilton in 1825. Then, they all left for Ogle County, OH. I haven't done any research on the other Hewitt children who were in or may have stayed in MD. Robert Hewitt and his wife did ahave a large family so perhaps some of them are in the book you recommended. I don't think they were connected to the Huyerts you mentioned. Thanks agin, Marilee Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

They lived on at the Dutch Fork of Buffalo Creek in Donegal Township in the mid 1770's. First of all: Elizabeth Hewitt (b. 6/9/1745, d. 1823) m John Jacob Leffler (b 6/9/1740 - d 3/30/1784) in Hagerstown, Washington Co MD in 1761. In the Funkstown, MD Old Reformed Church record from July thru Apr 1773 list the bapt of a couple children under the Huyert name. John Ludwig Huyert of Philipp Huyert and Eva bapt Jul 25, 1773; spon: Ludwig Huyert and wife Margaretha John Jacob Huyert of Peter Huyert and Magdalena bapt Apr 17, 1774, age 3 mo; spon: Jacob Loessler and wife Margaretha Many of these people moved to Dutch Fork in 1777, the Loessler name was changed to Leffler. The Huyert or Huett spelling was changed to Hewitt. My ancestor Jacob Rizor married John Jacob Leffler's aunt, Elizabeth Leffler. The Rizor name was previously spelled Reysser and Roeser in the Funkstown, MD Old Reformed Church record. There is another source for the Hewitt name in the document "Early Day Settlers on Dutch Fork and Buffalo Creeks, Washington County, PA 1770-1800" compiled by Lester F. Smith and J. Harland Keenan. The name is shown under a profile of the Leffler Family, John Jacob Leffler 1745? - 1784. It also mentions the Hagerstown (Funkstown), MD connection and the relationship of these people to each other. I understand that this book is available in the Washington County Law Library.

Doris, my "assumption" would be that he was Native American. But we all know to follow thru in proving/disproving our assumptions. In census records, how is his color listed? And that of his parents and siblings, in following them in the census. Were you able to locate any birth/marriage at wv vitals that may have additional info? ruth

Well guys and gals, still looking for any and all info on FRANCIS KEELEY who most likely was my 4th GGF. According to the census's of this wonderful country of 1790, 1800 and 1810 he was living in Somerset Township, Washington County, Pa. As head of household with his wife (unnamed) and children from about 1785 to around 1810. (The 1810 census showed them living in Washington City). He was on the grand jury list in 1794 which I am told indicates that he owned real estate?? A search of the real estate records found land bought and sold by a Francis Keeler and I thot, boy this is it, but it turned out that Francis Keeler was indeed a Keeler, not a KEELEY. I think it was Steve Keeley out in Calif. Who suggested my line came from the Warwickshire area of England, but those folks over there won't help you unless you can tell them near about everything you need to know!! Anyway if any of you ever come across anything about anyone who might be of this KEELEY family, please pull my chain. Thanks very much. Bob Keeley

Hi Lori, Fuchs is the German for Fox. (the animal). Fox would be the English translation. Please note that Joseph Fox died 1847, (not 1837) and is buried in the Fox Cemetery, Perry Township, Greene County, PA. His wife received a pension following his death in 1847, so that is quite certainly the date. It is recorded in the Greene County prothonatary's office. Glad to be of assistance. Karen >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Thanks Cuz Karen, That is just the reason that I explained to Chris, that I like to send to our LISTS, they can correct any errors and also add valuable information that is not known. Don't you agree? Just like you taught us what the FOX name meant ! And I will change the date & burial place. That's why I don't pass information privately, I feel is being selfish and stingy ! When we are all here to put that extra sparkle into someones day of discovery. "HOT ZIAG A DEE !" Now if it is................... PRIVATE - PRIVATE (you know what I mean) between 2 people that they don't want other Geni's to know................that is different. That would be called SNOOPING !

Since I wrote this, I figured out that the town of Milddleburg is actually in Franklin County, PA, not Washington County. I think whoever listed it as Washington County was mixed up with MD since the two counties are so close. You don't say if you have Franklin County, PA, burials but I will check your website.

Okay, back to the original question-- what are the earliest names you know? Do you have dates on them? Where did the CW vet live? Name? dates? There ***are*** records before 1850. First, if a person had no land, they still might be on Tax under married men -- if they owned a horse or cow. They were taxed on personal property-- animals were property. Second, if a person had no Will (intestate), they had an Adminstrator and an Account. Someone had to be paid for coffin and burial and even if nothing else is in it, these at least would be in an Account. If the person who died had youngins - minors - they probably had an Orphan's Court record and possibly a Guardian. Even with a widow alive, the court may have appointed a (male) guardian/relative. If the family was hard up, the kids could have been farmed out to relatives / close neighbors. Kind of poor kids slavery- you clean and do chores for bed and board. These are just some ideas.
