The stories are great. Very interesting and informative. I would like to make a suggestion. How about capitalizing surnames? Makes them more visible.

Thank you, Gary - The Koiner History did it again. Let this be a lesson to anyone who has an old family history, don't take it as gospel. This must be about 15 people now the Koiner History said "went to the insatiable west", or California or OH or ? and they were just in the next county. There is a vast difference between research in the 1800's and now. However, I appreciate the Koiner History because it took a huge family and put all the branches together for me and kind of outlined where most people were. It was a huge family then. Now it would be almost impossible to put all these branches together. I'll have to check my notes on the Funks of Singer's Glen in Frederick County. I think Ruth Funk was the product of another Coiner family, but hate to say for sure until I look at those notes. How many more little bits of info are you keeping from me, Gary? I want them all.

Our ancestral Virginia frontiersmen and women in the mid-1700's were sometimes taxed in terms of 'pounds of tobacco.' I'm wondering whether our ancestors actually paid 'in tobacco' (barter) or whether they paid 'in cash' after they marketed their tobacco. If 'in cash' this payment was likely made in Spanish milled dollars (coins) from my study. I note within Chalkey's Chronicles many court entries of "Hemp Certificates: (then a list of names.)" Does anyone know what these entries mean? Were these possibly to certify certain ancestral farmers were qualified to market hemp, or did these 'certificates' possibly have something to do with the hemp quality or payments, I wonder. Hemp was used for manufacturing rope, was it used for other purposes such as for bags (like burlap) or other products in those days? Many court entries simply state: "Liquors rated." (No names.) I doubt the court was conducting anything like today's wine-tasting (rating) parties.... or, did this more likely have something to do with setting the 'tax-rate,' I wonder. Some of our frontier ancestors didn't like the government over-taxing liquor since this was a higher-priced 'value-added' product from corn -- which was much easier to transport to distant markets than grain or flour. There was a so-called 'Whiskey-Rebellion' in the early 1790's as many of you probably know. Can anyone shed more light on these topics? Understanding such entries helps us appreciate the lives and times of our ancestors, not just jotting down names. Responding to the list might be helpful to others but I welcome private responses as well. Neil McDonald

Hi Linda: This all sounds familiar, have I corresponded with you before? There is not much happening on this list, so I'll tell another Koiner story. Do we know anything about the Koiners in Augusta County? The list would say more than they want to know. Michael Alexander Coiner was the son of James Harvey, son of Michael Coiner, son of Casper - Casper was the 6th child of Michael and Margaret (Diller) Keinadt. He came from Germany in 1747, we have Keinaths in Germany back to 1540. The names Michael's family uses in the US are Koiner, Koyner, Coiner, Coyner, Kyner, Kiner, older variations are Keiner, Keinert, and others - Comer, Criner, Conner, Koinor, Coinor, more rarely. Casper was born 2/25/1764 and died 10/3/1856, he was married to Margaret Barger in 1787. Most of the Coiners and Koiners left in Augusta county today are from this branch of Michael and Margaret's family. They had 14 children, 12 had issue. Michael, son of Casper was born 10/8/1790, he died 6/1/1863 from attack by a "cross bull". He served in the War of 1812 under Captain Link. He married Catherine, dau. of George Michael, brother to Casper. This Michael and Catherine were first cousins. She was born 1798, died 7/23/1866, their children were: William, James Harvey, Franklin, Franklin, Elizabeth, Susan, Margaret, David, Mary, John Calvin and Samuel Luther. James H. was born 3/15/1820 and died 8/7/1874, he married Mary Adaline Keller, dau. of Lewis. Their issue: James Webster, Cornelius J, Michael A., T. Jefferson Stuart, Clemenza Bell, Rebecca Frances and Sarah Catherine. James W. md. Mary Stover (Stoever - Stober) and they emigrated to Calif. Cornelius md. Viola Long, dau. of Joseph and Sarah Long, their issue: Hallie and Shelton. Lived in Waynesboro. Michael A. md. a Ms. Erman (This could be Ervin, Irvin, etc.). Clemenza md. John Cook. Catherine md. Henry Baily. Rebecca md. George Piper. I don't have dates for Michael Alexander but he should be in the 1860 census which is online at VAlley of the Shadow - using the 20 years per generation rule, James H. and Mary would have married approx. 1840, first child born 1842, second child 1844, third child 1846, Michael Alexander would have been about 14 in 1860, so he should be listed with James Coiner in the 1860 census. You'll have to use this family make-up to find the correct Michael, there is probably more than one. He probably married and went to CA after the Civil War. I just looked at the census and under Koiner, J is listed as 40, with sons James 16, Cornelius 13 and Michael 10 - I was close. This is the population census and doesn't list women. I always forget how to get to the regular census and they keep changing it. You might want to rent a microfilm at LDS to read the whole family. They are there though. Here's the URL: http://jefferson.village.virginia.edu/vshadow2/govdoc/au.census1860adv.html I am always amazed to hear Koiner is still being used. Most families changed to the Coiner spelling. However, there are Koiners in Augusta, many in TX and other parts of the country. There is a large family in MD who use this spelling. Let me know if I can help any more. Hope you all enjoyed another Koiner story! Norma Lsc12147@aol.com wrote: > > Hello all- > > Do these folks look familiar to anyone? I'd like to get a bit more info on > them.

Re Robert Graham's query: >I am looking for info on Robert Graham born 1766,Died 1850 in Clearfield >County, PA.He was born in Augusta County, VA. His Father was Thomas >Graham Sr. ,also born in Augusta County,VA.about 1725 and died in 1798,do >not know where, assuming in Augusta County.Thomas had another son Thomas >JR.I would like to know more about the family and was Thomas the >immegrant from Ireland. G.W. Cleek, in "Early Western Augusta Pioneers", describes a Thomas Graham who died in 1798 in Augusta Co. His will was dated Nov 18, 1794 and recorded June 19, 1798 in Will Book VIII, page 306. The will mentions sons Robert, John, Thomas, James, Joseph, and Alexander; daus. Cateran and Mary. Cleek says this Thomas was the son of Robert Graham and Jean Hicklin. However, he lists the marriage of Robert & Jean as circa 1734, which conflicts with your DOB of 1725 for Thomas, so this may not be the right people, or Cleek's date may be wrong. According to Cleek, the lineage looks like this: Christopher Graham (b.c. 1670, d.c. 1745) & Margaret (or Florence) Risk Robert Graham (b.c. 1712, d.c. 1763) & Jean Hicklin Thomas Graham (d.1798) & ___ Christopher was the immigrant from Scotland to Lancaster Co, PA before 1700 and then to Augusta co, where he died. Some of his children were born in PA. His son Robert was administrator of his father's estate Feb 19, 1746, per Chalkley vol III. The Cleek book gives 4 pages of details about Christopher's other children and grandchildren. It is available from the Bath Co Historical Society; see the Bath Co GENWEB page.
