I am descended from Abraham SAVAGE who was one of the early settlers of New Market and was one of the original persons who laid out lots in that town. Somewhere I read that there was a street in New Market, Abram Street, which was supposed to be named after him. We are planning to be in the area next week to show my 83 year old mother where her ancestors lived, and I would love to show her Abram Street. However, the map of New Market on Streets 98 doesn't show an Abram Street. Does anyone know if it still exists? If so, where is it: If not, what is the present name of the original Abram Street? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Joan

Dear Michael, I can not tell from what you wrote that you and I are for sure descended from the same Millers...but it seems likely that your facts go with mine. I am descended from Jacob Mueller (1698-1766) of Muellerstadt, Virginia later renamed Woodstock. I am descended from his son Christian and Christian's son, John Miller who moved to Gallipolis, Ohio. Interestingly enough John's son who was my gr-gr-gr-grandfather was named Henry Harrison Miller...perhaps a coincidence...perhaps a family name...Henry Harrison Miller was born 1813 so he coincides in generation with your Harrison Miller....

Kyle, Thanks for the post. This is the information I have, except I did not have the name of Rev. Paul Henkle. Do you have in your notes where you got the information from? Maybe that's where I should be looking also. Thanks, Jan

Jan, Reference the polk's: I have a Catherine Poke, daughter of Adam and Barbara, married to Phillip Jacob Miller son of Jacob Miller of Stoney Creek, on August 18, 1787 at (Now the Jerome area) by Rev. Paul Henkle. Hope this might help. Kyle Miller

Following is my husband's Ridenour query: 1st generation: Anton REITNOWER, b circa 1586, m 24 Sep 1611 Gondiswil, Canton of Bern, Aargau, Switzerland to Margarete CHRISTEN. 2nd generation: Hans REITENAUER, b circa 1612, m 10 Feb 1634 Gondiswil, Canton of Bern, Aargau, Switzerland to Katherina SCHAR (SCHOR). 3rd generation: Nicholas "Claus" REITENAUER, b 8 Jul 1650 Gondiswil, Canton of Bern, Aargau, Switzerland, m circa 1674 in Tieffenbach, Bas-Rhin, France to Suzanna WINDSTEIN, d/o Nicholas Windstein and Otilla Eich. 4th generation: Johann Balthasar REITENAUER, b 18 May 1696 Tieffenbach, Bas-Rhin, France, m 23 Feb 1718 Tieffenbach, Bas-Rhin, France to Maria Elizabeth ZENSS, d/o Hans Jacob Zenss and Anna Maria ---; from Bas-Rhin, France to USA 1738. 5th generation: Johann Georg REITENAUER, b 1723 Puberg, Bas-Rhin, France, m before 1742 in Philadelphia Co, PA to Julianna ---; from Bas-Rhin, France to USA 1738. 6th generation: George Adam REITENAUER, b 10 Nov 1746 Philadelphia Co, PA, m 1 Feb 1774 Barbara WILHEIT (WILHEID), b 2 Oct 1756; res. PA; Frederick Co, MD; Shenandoah Co, VA. 7th generation: Elizabeth REITENAUER (RIDENOUR), b 18 Jul 1778 Powells Fort, Shenandoah Co, VA, m 22 Mar 1796 Frederick Co, MD to Benjamin DUBEL (DUPPEL), res Wolfsville, Frederick Co MD. I am especially interested in the time period of about 1772 to 1776 when George Adam Reitenauer was in Frederick Co, MD; then about 1778 to 1790 in Shenandoah Co, VA; then I think his wife Barbara (Wilheit), perhaps a widow, went back to Frederick Co, MD about 1790; and daughter Elizabeth Reitenauer (Ridenour) went to Frederick Co, MD as she married Benjamin Dubel there in 1796 and remained until her death in 1850.

Bev, I have always knew where North Mt. was and it is not Mass. Mountain. North Mountain is in Augusta County and Mass. Mountain is in Rockingham County. Dot

I live in Berkeley County, WV, which ajoins Frederick County, Va. The mountain range that I can see out my kitchen window is called North Mountain. I was told this is part of the North Mountain that run through Virginia. Bev

Just to make things a little more confusing....in the very early records they referred to the Massanutten Mtn. as "North Mountain" and the Blue Ridge as "South Mountain".

Hi Folks, Great North Mountain continues NNE through Frederick County. << The DeLorme atlas shows Great North Mountain to be the current county line between Shenandoah and Hardy Counties. It looks like it is a range of peaks because it is listed on the map both north and south of the jog at about Wolf Gap and there's a list of peaks along the name. >> Little North Mountain is SE of Great North Mountain, also running through Frederick County. << Little North Mountain is in current Rockingham Co. south of the Hardy Co., Shenandoah Co. line. >> Regards, Flo.

My daughter just got back from camp Shrine Mont where she climbed North Mountain. She says it is called "Great North Mountain". The camp is located at the edge of Rockingham County. The camp is located on property that was once a fancy resort.

Hi Listers--I found a birth record from 1853 which states that the residence of the parents and child was N. Mountain. Does anyone know where this is? Thanks in advance! CJ Andes [email protected]

Carla, The place the Hamners grew up in is a town called Schuyler (pronounced "skyler" by the locals). It is not near Warrenton, but is instead, a short distance south of Charlottesville. From Charlottesville you would go south on Rt. 29 and then turn east on Rt 6. There should be signs for the turn off to Schuyler. You will find it easily on a map of the state. Though it is rather hot now, If you have the time, I would recommend walking the grounds of Jefferson's Monticello. Yours, Issodhos
