Compiled and Written by Philip Sonnichsen. Higginson Book Company is pleased to announce the publication of A Family History of Charles Leland Sonnichsen and Augusta Pauline (Jones) Sonnichsen/ Schwidetzky written by Philip Sonnichsen. Every member of the Sonnichsen/Schwidetzky and allied families who is interested in history and their family heritage will want to have a copy of A Family History of Charles Leland Sonnichsen and Augusta Pauline (Jones) Sonnichsen/ Schwidetzky. This fully illustrated genealogy traces the lines of the family from the arrival of Momme Melf and Jette Caroline (Detlefsen) Sonnichsen aboard the Deutschland on October 25, 1866 at Castle Garden, New York. Data is presented through a descending ancestral chart with explanatory narratives, and includes allied families of Adair, Bonnell, Burwell, Clifton, Glover, Gunn, Hults [Hulse/Hultz], Paxton, Qualtrough, and more. By way of demonstrating the thoroughness of Sonnichsen's presentation, the Adair line begins with Robert FitzGerald de Adair, b. ca 1366 in Limerick, Ireland and follows the lineage through the arrival of Thomas Adair from Antrim into Pennsylvania and his three sons: James, Joseph, and William. The Cliftons trace their heritage to the immigrant Thomas Clifton who migrated into Barbados in the 1650s; the Hulses through Richard Hulse who settled on eastern Long Island before 1670; and the Paxtons from James (b. 1640) and his son Samuel, who initially settled in the Marsh Creek Valley of Lancaster, PA. Of the various lines which have emerged from Samuel's 22 children, Sonnichsen's is the most comprehensive treatment of the "South and Southwest Paxtons" (Descendants of Benjamin and Frances [Lofton] Paxton).
