Ah, Thank you, thank you, thank you. Do you think that these are the twin girls who were hiding in the briar patch when the Indians killed Jacob Streight = Jacob Kennedy Streight's father. I have a record that twins were born to Mrs. Elizabeth Streight Dragoo - Jacob's sister, and that one of the married a Kennedy. Oh, thank you so much for this information. I can now think a little harder on this matter.

Your Shuman isnot our shuman, but could you please use some carriage returns or set your window to fewer than 12000000 characters so's we wont have to scroll left and right? TIA -- Richard L.

Henry Shuman and Sarah Temple Kendall, I believe had a daughter named Permelia Shuman, who married Jacob Streight. I believe someone told me that Permelia may have come into Henry Shuman's marriage to Sarah Temple Kendall before their marriage. I also believe someone told me there was another daughter who came into this marriage also. I did not write her name down anywhere - I was wondering if anyone knows the name of this other daughter. Also please list names of known children of the marriage between Henry Shuman and Sarah Temple Kendall. Appreciate it - Chris Bowen

Ann, I'm so glad we're getting together via email. What a wonderful world we morals can make with all the technology we now have available to us. A copy of the marriage Certificate between James W. Shuman and Miss Margaret Steoof(which makes me wonder if this last name could be Steuffer and not spelled properly?) that I have states they were married January 1, 1857. This is why I've guestion the birth date of your GGrandfather, James Jacob (my grandfather, Charles Augustus' half brother). It would be so very difficult for Margaret to have had a baby and get married on the same day!! This is why I believe James Jacob was born January 1, 1858. Do you have a copy of this marriage certificate as I do? After Margaret's death, he then married my GGrandmother, Miss Jane Stauffer on May 13, 1863. You did say that James Jacob was orphaned very early in life and late adopted after his father, James W. passed away. The only children I've been able to come up with for James W. Shuman is as follows: Catherine (b) 1851 - mother Martha Beaty - married to James W. April 11, 1850 James Jacob - (who married your grandmother Miss Isabell Northey) - mother Margaret Steoff on 1-1-1857 Brenone (b) 1863 - mother Jane Stauffer (I was incorrect stating her mother was Martha Beaty in my previous message) Charles Augustus - (b) 4-30-1865 - mother Janes Stauffer - married Margaret Elizabeth Beaty John (b) 1866 - mother - Jane Stauffer A question for you is whether James' first wife Martha Beaty and Charles Augustus' wife Lizzy were related? I know nothing about my grandmother, Margaret Elizabeth Beaty. No, I'm not certain that the William H. Shuman I mentioned, is the same William that is listed on the passenger list of 1860. It would not be the same person since your census has a William H. Shuman for 1850 and 1860 unless he did a great deal of travelling!! Unlikely, right? I do not know anything about William C. Beaty. You think that this WC Beaty is Lizzy's father? You mentioned a census of 1860 that listed WC Beaty and Tom Age 10. Do you have a census of 1870, and if so, does it have Lizzy mention? She would have been age 6 for the 1870 census. Or, even a census of 1880 making her age 16. Lizzy didn't get married to CA Shuman until 1885. Dan Bowen and Sheryl are related to Minnie Shuman Bowen - daughter of CA and Lizzy Shuman- and my daddy was their youngest child, Lee Washington Shuman. Please let me hear more from you on that records you have and what they are! I must get a scanner so you can scan some of these valuable papers to me. Looking forward to hearing from you and your sister, Peggy. Take care and do let me hear from you.

Chris Permela Shuman is my 4th Great-grandmother. Sara Temple/Kendall/Shuman has been a stone wall to me for at least 2 years now. Here is a sample of what I have found. According to the book: William Kennedy & Related Families of McFarlands Run Monongalia Co. Va./WV 1780-1890 On April 26, 1819, the wedding of William Kennedy, Jr. and Jacob K. Straight took place to the twin Shaman girls: Helen (Ellen) and Permelia. The twin Shuman girls were married at the home of their stepfather, Henry Shuman. They were married at the age of 24. Helen (Ellen) married William Kennedy, Jr. Permelia married Jacob Straight Monongalia Co. Marriage Records. Ellen (dau. of Henry Shuman) m: 4-26-1819, William Kennedy Matilda (dau. of Henry Shuman) m: 3-12-1829, Lemuel H. Riggs. Note: No Record of Permelia's marriage. Certificate of Death Permelia Straight (Shuman) d: 3-17-1874 Parents: "Blank" & Sarah Kendall There has been a lot of confusion about Henry and Sarah. Any other help would be greatly appreciated. This is about all I have and most of it I found researching my Straight Line. Sarah may have started out as Sarah Temple, then became Sarah Temple Kendall and later Sarah Temple Kendall Shuman. Permelia may not have been a Shuman after all. If so then I may be barking up the wrong tree. James has done a great job with the Web Site and I'll be a little disappointed if she isn't. Seems like a great bunch of folks. Right now I'll consider myself adopted. Don Humphrey Fairmont, WV

OH Families, by the Monroe County Chapter of the OH Genealogical Society, 1992. Pg. 267 In 1834, John Schoonover arrived in Monroe Co. OH, leading the horse that carried his wife, Mary, and their infant son, William. John purchased land on Possum Creek in present day Lee Twsp. The Schoonover family owned this farm for more than a century. John was born in Lewis Co, WV in 1811 to Henry and Mary Canfield Schoonover. John came from families with deep roots in America. His father Henry was descended from the Schoonoven family which migrated from Utrecht, Holland, in the early 1600's. His mother Mary Canfield, was a descendent of Matthew Canfield of Harlestone, England, who settled in Connecticut at least by 1639. In 1833, John married Mary Shuman in Lewis Co. WV. After the couple moved to Monroe Co. they tended their farm, raised their family and saw 3 sons, Daniel, Jesse, and John, go off to battle in the Civil War. Fortunately, all 3 came home safely. The family attended Mount Olive United Brethren Church and Mount Moriah Methodist Episcopal Church. John was a trustee for Mount Moriah in 1844. Jesse joined Mount Olive in 1862. Daniel and another brother, Ben, were also members of Mount Olive. 9 children were born to John and Mary: William Ellsworth (1833-1917), married Christina porter, Daniel, 1836-1912, Sarah Jane, 1838-1863; Jesse 1841-1937, Nancy Ann 1843-1942, John Cryus, 1846; Mary 1848-1855; James Wesley, 1853, Thomas Benton, 1856-1948; After Mary's death in 1873, John married Elizabeth Mowrey in 1881. John died in 1888. John and Mary are buried in Mount Moriah Cemetery, Lee Twsp., Monroe Co. OH. Hope this helps a little bit. --part1_0.95a26bf9.25352a66_boundary--

Judi, I think you are the Judi that I have corresponded with before. Just read you posting of 10/10/99 in response to Sheryl Rutledge and was interested in all the info! Here are a few thoughts I had as I studied it . ( My father, Cornwell Shuman, my sister Peggy Treece, and I have been working on this line a long time. We are descended from James W. Shuman and his 2nd wife, Margaret Steeof and their son James Jacob. We think James W. and William H. Shuman were both sons of Jacob, 1790-1843.) >From various sources (census records, death notice, Bible) we thought James Jacob was b Nov. 1857 and his mother Margaret d June 1860. If so, she could not have been the mother of Brenone (Benne V. or Beena or Buna, as Cornwell interpreted the census) who was b about 1863 and is listed in the 1880 census as Jane Shuman's dau age 18. Charles "Dan" Bowen sent a list of Gus and Lizzy's children with dates. He must be a gr-uncle to Sheryl. Also have corresponded with Susie Wiggins who is Archie Albert Shuman's g.dau., I think. Do you know who Lizzie Beaty Shuman's parents were? And are you sure the William H. Shuman you mentioned really came from Germany in 1860? The dates agree with the Wm. H. with Margaret in the 1860 census, living with or adjacent to Wm.C.Beaty, probably her father. The dates also agree with the William Shuman, age 12, living with Catherina Shuman in the 1850 census adjacent to W.C.Beaty. The Bill Shuman who raised Lizzy might have been this Wm. H. Shuman, who was called "Billy' according to a descendant. Wm.C.Beaty had a Thomas, age 10, (son or g.son?) with him in the 1860 census, who might have been the Tom who also raised Lizzy.

I am a descendant of Mary Shuman Schoonover 1814-1873. Although it is unproven, I believe she was a daughter of Philip Shuman and Sophia (?). Through various sources (census, land deeds, etc.) I have a family group for Philip which includes Mary and sons, John, William, Jonas, and Jesse. There are also other unidentified children. This family can be found in Tyler/Wetzel Co. WV and Monroe Co. OH. Has anyone found additional information on Philip or Sophia?

Dear Barb: Thanks for the reminder - be careful though - there is a cosmetic company named the "Colonial Dames" and they are pretty tricky by just putting "Colonial Dames" down, next thing you know you have a hundred sites in your road. The site I found was "National Society of Colonial Dames" www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/4399/cdxvii.html Address is National Society of Colonial Dames, 1300 New Hampshire Ave, Washington DC 20036 telephone 202-293-1700. I've already written my letter - so let's all hope I can get a copy of Catherine and Sarah Shuman's paperwork. Good Luck, Barb.

Passenger Ships' Lists, Pennsylvania by Donna Speer Ristenbatt NOTE: In the book Pennsylvania German Pioneers by Strassburger and Hinke, the following is written on page xxiv, which is of great interest. In addition to the captains' lists we have the lists of the signers of the oath of allegiance. On these lists we naturally expect to find the signatures of all the male adults on the ships. But here we meet with another disappointment. What we actually find, at least on the first seventy lists, are the names of all the male adults who were well on the day of signing and were able to appear at the Court House. If any of the male passengers were sick, they were not required to sign later. Beginning in August 1739, we find that the Clerk of Council signed the names of the absent passengers. But, in the earlier lists, there is often a serious discrepancy between the male adults that were on board and those that actually signed. Thus, for example, on the very first captain's lists there are 109 names, but only 51 persons actually appeared in the Court House and signed the oath. The others, who are reported as sick, "never came to be qualified." It should also be noted that the Captains' Lists do not exist for every ship. Many have been lost or destroyed. http://www.ristenbatt.com/genealogy/shipind.htm

Hi Everybody: Catherine Shuman Haught and her sister Sarah Elizabeth Shuman Mayfield, were both members of the "colonial dames". I just found a website which states that "they must be of lineal descendant of at least one ancestor who lived and served prior to 1701 in one of our 13 original colonies" and it goes on to state "services may be minister of the Gospel, attorney, land owner, merchant, Huguenot refurgee or any one of many civil services provided to a colony" This is exciting to me because if I can find a record of who they Catherine and Sarah claimed as this ancestor we maybe able to solve the who was grandpa Shuman saga.

Chris, The library in Woodsfield , Ohio ,which is new and has the Monroe Chapter of OGS located in it. This Chapter has most of the Newspaper Excerpts in a published form, as follows. MONROE CHAPTER OGS BOX 641 WOODSFIELD, OH 43793. As headed FAMILY RESEARCH IN MONROE COUNTY, OHIO VOLUME ONE Printed in the Spirit of Democracy a weekly newspaper published continuously since 1844 at Woodsfield, Monroe County, Ohio. These columns were printed between June 29, 1967 and June 28, 1973 by Catherine Foreaker Fedorchak This was indexed and reprinted by the Monroe Chapter OGS addressed as above. I thought we had the two Jesses's straightened out. The one Jesse that is buried in the Moose Ridge Cemetery just outside of Woodfield, deceased on 15 July 1882 was the son of JACOB SHUMAN SON OF JOHN SHUMAN OF MINISTERS RUN. The other Shuman, I do not know for sure who he descends from. This Jesse never did marry. Now the Jesse father of Philip of Wetzel Co., Va was living in Tyler county when he got the land in Monroe county, from the US Government. I hope this helps. Bill Shuman PS If you staighten out Philips father let us know.

Hello Donna! Because of the name, I am more than casually interested in your request. I went searching in my database, and came up with what MIGHT be the family, but it's not quite a "perfect fit," so let's see what others can add. I find that Levi SHUMAN, b. ca 1804-6 s/o Henry SHUMAN and Sarah Temple Kendall, m. Sarah (E) Kendall, d/o James Kendall and Catherine SHUMAN, b. ca 1805-8, m. 9 Apr 1825, had at least three children: James A, William, and Zilphia. I have no other data on that family, except that Catherine SHUMAN was d/o John SHUMAN, thought to be the brother of Henry SHUMAN. If so, that would make Levi and Sarah 1st cousins once removed. The parentage of Sarah Temple Kendall has not been identified, so I can't say how she might be related to James Kendall. Regards!

Cousins, >From another List, I received notice that Ancestry.com is offering a free German ancestry search from October 6th to the 13th. I checked it out, and found the site very slow; in fact, the wait was so long, that I quit after several minutes of inactivity on the screen! Probably everyone else is trying to take advantage of the free offer, too! It does appear to be an excellent opportunity to dig a little further for our roots. The address is http://www.ancestry.com/ancestry/search/german.htm. Just don't get confused with the "non-free" offerings which are usually on the same pages, and which DO load quickly <g>! Regards!

CJ, Chris, William, and cousins, This evening I remembered that on our visit to WV last summer, when we spent an evening with Ron Sapp, a descendant of Philip, he shared some data with my sister and me. So, I went looking for it, and found that he indicates the following information: Philip SHUMAN, who was b. about 1774, and his wife Sophia had the following children: Rebecca, Jonah, William, John, Margaret Mary, and Jesse. the following two are pertinent to today's discussion: Margaret Mary Shuman - ------------------------------------------- Birth: 20 Nov 1814 Death: 20 Dec 1873 Spouse: John Schoonover Birth: 20 Nov 1811 Death: 5 Jan 1888 Children: William (1833-1917) Daniel (1836-1912) Sarah Jane (1838-) Jesse (1841-1937) Nancy Ann (1843-1924) John Cyrus (1846-1931) Mary (1848-1855) James Wesley (1853-) Thomas Benton (1856-1948) 1.6 Jesse Shuman - ------------------------------------------- Birth: bet 1815 - 1820 Death: abt 1847 Spouse: Mary E. Cox Children: Philip (1842-1872) According to his data, the question raised by CJ is answered to the extent of saying her information was substantially correct, and there is not very much more in Ron's files at least regarding Jesse SHUMAN. It shows that he was deceased prior to 1850, which would provide evidence that her finding regarding Mary Cox petitioning the court for her dowry was a valid request. The son Philip died at the age of 30. Does anyone have any information regarding him? Thanks!
