Hello, I'm looking for 'Straub' and 'Wolber' that came from Germany/France about 1800. Arrived in NY, NY. Met, married, had five children - Louise, Hannah, Mary (b 11/6/1895), John(b-12/25/1896), and Helen. All children lived in Easton, Pa. at one time. Thanks, ASP

Thanks, Diana. Adam Straub is my ancestor, born 1802.

Hi Garry, I am happy this was your ADAM STRAUB :-) What started this was a flurry of conversations on other lists about these BLM land grants. Some say you had to have military background to receive it, others say their passive Quaker ancestors received such land. Another said there was a particular area in Ohio (and other locations) where land was basically requested by New Englanders, by "mail", sight unseen, who immediately resold to land grabbers. And also, as I previously mentioned, you could request the land in the name of an ancestor and complete paperwork to prove your relationship and your right to receive their land grant. I would be interested to know if you decide to request the paperwork, what you do finally receive, to see if it is worthwhile. ...Or perhaps someone on this list may already know what you get. My grandfather JOHN CHAPMAN and gr grandfather JULIUS CHAPMAN, both received land in MN. Good Luck and good to hear from you, Diana O. Garry Heagy wrote: > Thanks, Diana.

Hello Straub Cousins :-) Hope this is helpful to someone. If you click on the Bureau of Land Management url at the end of my message, then click Land Patent Search at the top, enter Straub and Minnesota, then it will list the following land grants, with the same details for each of the following: Straub, Adam Straub, William MN - Waseca Co. - Issued 1/1/1866 Then you can click on each individual for more info. I understand you can request the actual record for about $40. And it may contain family info, as sometimes this land is granted to children in the name of their father, who may have had a military background and they must prove their relationship, and their right to this land grant, etc. Diana Owen http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/

I stumbled on this website, entered STRAUB and an entire list of burial locations for various Straubs, came up. Hope it helps someone/Diana Owen :-) http://userdb.rootsweb.com/cemeteries/

I just found the following online at GenealogyLibrary.com: Irwin Hoch Delong. 1926. "The Lineage of Malcolm Metzger Parker from Johannes Delang." Harry W. Parker, Pittsburgh, PA. On p. 49: =============================== DD. UNCONNECTED DELONGS These DeLongs are added here to lay the basis for possible future researches concerning the DeLangs in the United States and in Europe... =============================== On p. 52: =============================== c. IN NORTHAMPTON CO., PA. I. Abraham Delong, Lynn Township, Northampton Co., Pa., made his will December 21, 1755, and it was approved September 22, 1756. The will mentions a son Peter; other children are referred to but are not mentioned by name. Testator's wife "Catren" is named as sole executrix. The testator made his "mark," a capital D between his given name and his family name. The will is on file in the Court House, Easton, Pa., but it is not recorded. Witnesses: John Everett, Samuel Braun, Michel Baumgerter. Children: II. 1. Peter Delong, made his "mark," a capital D between his given name and his family name. 2. Math. Delong. 3.

Matthew, I found the 1870 census record of your John George STRAUB (Jr.). It clears up most of the ambiguity regarding the childrens' names. I've added it to his family group sheet. http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/6/Straub/FGS/JohnGeorgeStraub-AnnaBeightol.htm I checked my 1850 census CD for BEIGHTOL in Centre Co., PA -- where we would expect to find Anna still living with her parents. There is an Ann BEIGHDOL, age 14, living with Daniel & Catharine BEIGHDOL, Centre Co. They are the only BEIGHDOLS in the county. There are many other variations of the name (viz., BECHDEL, BECHDOL, BECHTOL, BECKDEL, BECTOL, BEICHDOL) in the county. I checked all of them -- at least, all the ones I recognized as a variation of BEIGHTOL -- and none had an Ann even close to the right age. Snowshoe Twp., Centre Co., PA, p. 278A, 62/63, enumerated 7 Nov 1850: All born in Pa: Daniel Beighdol 38 M Farmer Catharine Beighdol 29 F Samuel Beighdol 20 M Farmer David Beighdol 16 M Farmer Ann Beighdol 14 F Joseph Beighdol 12 M Mathias Beighdol 10 M Jacob Beighdol 8 M Sarah Beighdol 6 F William Beighdol 6 M Ellen White 24 F I'd be happier if she were 15 or 16, but this is very likely your Anna.

Hi Everyone, I am new to the list and to STRAUB research. Actually, I am not sure that STRAUB belongs on my family tree and was wondering if anyone on the list has information about Barbara STRAUB, who was Charles STRAUB's daughter? She's listed as Mrs. Jacob STEFFEN in FISHER's book, Probate and Orphan Court Records of Snyder Co., PA, 1772-1855. I'd like to know about Jacob and Barbara's children. Did they have a daughter named Mary? My ancestor married Mary STEFFEY, and the following information is given about her in a FRANTZ family history: "John FRANTZ was married in what was at that time a part of Union (now Snyder) county to Mary STEFFEY, who was born in Union county, daughter of Jacob STEFFEY, and died in 1843. She was buried at Richfield, Union county. Mrs. FRANTZ was a faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal Church." I would appreciate any help or suggestions. Best Regards, Lola Allen

Well then may explain why some of my Great uncles have been using their middle most of their life in the Friend family line. James Floyd went by Floyd, John Franklin went by Frank. Man what a pain with these name changes. Matthew D. Friend Diana Gale Matthiesen <DianaGM@dgmweb.net> wrote: P.S. to Matthew... I've become convinced that your George STRAUB was John George STRAUB, Jr., son of John George STRAUB, Sr. Both went by John in the 1850 census and George in the 1860 census.

I think it's way kewl, Matthew! Among other things, it shows you never know what miniscule clue will turn out to be your biggest breakthrough... Item 1: Yes, in 1872, Ann and J. Allen (b. 1868-69) were toddlers and too young to go to school. Item 2: It gives us A. Etta's first name: Amelia, which changes the URL to her family group sheet to: http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/6/Straub/FGS/JamesAWest-AmeliaEttaStraub.htm Item 3: It tells us George has more children than we knew about. Most importantly, it gives us the names of the three eldest children: James, William, and George, and these children -- born before 1860 -- identify which George STRAUB is their father in the 1860 census! In the 1860 census of Centre Co., PA, there is a George STROUP with wife, Anna, and three sons: James, William, and George. So now we have A. BEIGHTOL's first name, birthyear, and birthplace, namely: Anna, b. 1834/5, PA. This knowledge changes the URL of their family group sheet to: http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/6/Straub/FGS/GeorgeStroup-AnnaBeightol.htm And as we know the father of this George STROUP is (John) George STROUP, also of Centre Co., PA, we are back another generation. Unfortunately, I do not know the wife or parents of this (John) George STRAUB/STROUP, who was born 1799/1800 in PA. He had daughters named Lydia and Amelia, which supports the connection to your George, who also had daughters named Lydia and Amelia.

Hey Diana: Look what I have found in the Hall County Nebraska listing of student attending school in Alda Township. DISTRICT NO. 12 (ALDA) The report for the year 1872, made by Thos. Mitchell, director, showed nine boys and sixteen girls of school age, with eleven boys and twelve girls actually attending school in that district. One hundred and twenty days of school were taught by John Harrison and Mrs. Jenny Sweet, each teaching one-half term. The school house cost $1,790 to build, repairs $4 and rent $15 were shown also for that year. Fuel was $24.90, and $210 was paid to the teachers. The families then residing in the district, with children of school age were: Wallace Spirk (Cora, Mary, Florence) W. Farr (Earnest) C.L. Goodrich (Eva Goodrich) Mrs. McCarty (Catherine) D. Barnholster (George, Mary, Elizabeth) Jenny Sweet (Minnie) Mr. Straub (James, William, George, Lydia, Amelia, Mary and Gorden) A.J. Lockeby (Hiram) John Watsen (Claten, Martha) J.H. Andrews (William) William Mitchell (Merty) E. Brown, guardian, (Addie Delap) Thomas Mitchell (H.F., John and Cladis). Text books used were Worcester's spelling, Hillard's readers, John H. French's arithmetic, Gyatt's geographies, Harvey's grammar and Goodrich's histories. New Child "James", New child "William", second new child "George" Lydia is Lida Ellen, Amelia is A. Etta, Mary is perhaps Ida M., Gorden as Gordon. That means in 1872 Ann and J. Allen Straub were too young to go to school. What do you think of this Diana? Matthew D.

It was no problem. I look at it this way, you never know what doing a search for someone else might lead you to in your own research! After a quick scan of the 1860 Union TWP, Brown co., OH census, I came up empty on Straubs or anything remotely resembling the Straub name. They could still be there somewhere and I just missed them though.
