Although your message was about the Propst family, I noticed that you were also interested in the Craun name. I am descended from John Fredrick Craun and his wife Anna Maria Raumel (Rimel). I would love to compare notes with you. What is your Craun relative line. Mine is through his son John F. Craun, Jr., who married Sarah Fleshman in 1812, their daughter Mary Craun who married Samuel Hale. My fraternal grandmother was a Hale. Joyce Haney Dittman In a message dated 6/2/2008 10:13:05 P.M.

Michael et al: The first tax list that I'm aware of for Rockingham County was made in 1782. I'm seen a 1777 real estate tax list for Augusta County, which then included Rockingham, on microfilm at the LVA. I only have the portion of the 1777 Augusta list that includes the eastern portion of what is now Rockingham.

I'm wondering if some kind soul(s) with access to the early Tax Lists for Rockingham County can do a look-up for MICHAEL SELLERS. I can't remember how far back the Tax Lists go. I have Tax List info for Michael Sellers for 1789, 1791, 1792, and 1793 as follows: - June 19, 1789: District 10 MICHAEL SELLERS - 1 white male over 16 in household; 4 horses - May 21, 1791: Richard Ragan's Company MICHAEL SELLERS - 4 horses Jacob Sellers - No Marks James Sellers - No Marks - March 14, 1792: Richard Ragan's Company MICHAEL SELLERS - 4 horses Jacob Sellers - No Marks James Sellers - No Marks - August 6, 1793: Josiah Harrison's Company (District 8) James Sellers - 1 horse MICHAEL SELLERS - 3 horses Jacob Sellers - No Marks I'm trying to see how early Michael began appearing on the Tax Lists and whether such info locates him around or close to any other Sellers in the hopes of determining family relationships. Michael may have received a Land Grant near Smith's Creek as early as 1781 before receiving a Land Grant for "60 acres on the east side of the Dry Fork of Smith's Creek" on October 10, 1785. The original Fellowship United Methodist Church was built and the cemetery laid on a portion of what was once Michael's land. This stemmed from Michael hosting Methodist circuit riders to hold services on his land. I'm curious if he appears on earlier Tax Lists, whether other Sellers are nearby, and/or whether the lists show Michael's responsibility for the tax or whether it shows someone else responsible for Michael's portion. Thanks in advance for reading through my rambling. Michael Sellers
Jane Green- I am searching for the Christian Haas/Hass/Hause who was born in 1752 and died in 1853 in the Shenandoah Valley (Rockingham Co.) of Virginia. The 1850 census says that he was born in Pennsylvania. Christian had a son, also named Christian (Haase), who married in Rockingham Co., Virginia in 1809. The 1850 and 1860 census says that Christian Jr. was born in Pennsylvania. Christian Sr. also seemed to have a son named Israel (Hause) who lived in Rockingham Co. Israel was apparently named in Christian's will, but I cannot find the will. Christian Sr. might have had a daughter named Elizabeth, but the evidence of that is slim. I do not know names of Christian Sr.'s parents, wife, or other children. I am intent upon identifying my ancestry before Christian. It seems that Christian was of German heritage and thus it is logical that he would have come to Virginia from Pennsylvania. Also, due to German naming conventions of that era, Christian was probably his middle name. Fortunately, Christian lived to be over 100 years old so he is well documented in Virginia starting with the 1810 census. But, neither the 1790 nor the 1800 census are available for Virginia. Also, the property tax records for Rockingham Co. for that period do not seem to be available. So, I am not certain when Christian moved from Pennsylvania to Virginia. Because of Christian Jr.'s marriage, I am certain that it was before 1809. I am on a mission to track down every Haas, Hass, Haase, Haus, etc. who lived in Pennsylvania before about 1810. My logic is that if I learn about each family, I can identify my 4th Great Grandfather through an elimination process. The task is daunting and perhaps beyond my ability. But, I have not yet given up. So far, I have identified about 300 Haases. When I finish, I will publish the results on the Web. Of the Haases that I have recorded so far, the following are candidates to be my Christian: Christian Haas 1790 census in Berks Co., Pennsylvania, Reading Boro Free White Males 16 up: 2 Free White Males to 16: 2 Free White Females: 4 1800 census in Berks Co., Pennsylvania, Reading Boro Free White Males to 10: 0 Free White Males to 16: 0 Free White Males to 26: 1 Free White Males to 45: 1 Free White Males 45 up: 0 Free White Females to 10: 2 Free White Females to 16: 1 Free White Females to 26: 0 Free White Females to 45: 1 Free White Females 45 up: 0 Christian Haas & Margaret Church Records Christian Haas, Born 27 Oct 1784, baptized 5 Dec 1784 Trinity Union Church, Springfield Twp., Bucks Co., Pennsylvania parents Christian Haas & Margaret Christian Hass 1790 census in Bucks Co., Pennsylvania, No Twp Listed Free White Males 16 up: 1 Free White Males to 16: 2 Free White Females: 3 1800 census in Bucks Co., Pennsylvania, Haycock Twp.

None of those names sounds familiar but I will keep an eye open for them just in case. Thanks for your input. My group seems to have hung out around New Market, Shavertown, and that general area.

Carol- In your Shaffer/Shaver/etc. data do you have anything on a Daniel Perry Shaver born 20 Sep 1809? We believe he was born in Shenandoah County but of course, that could be wrong. He married Nancy Sarah Kelly/Kelley 12 Mar 1833 in Shenandoah County. Reuben Kongree was the bondsman and John P. Cline was the minister. These were my grgrgrandparents and we have not been able to find out who Daniel's parents and siblings were. We know who Sarah's parents were but haven't found siblings. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Sharon Shaffer Domer csoy@adelphia.net wrote: Bonnie, I have a Jacob Shaeffer/Shaver, born 26Dec1823, died 22Nov1876 in Eureka Nev.

Bonnie- I hope that you might be able to help me. My grgrgrandfather was Daniel Perry Shaver. I have been looking for his parents forever. Do you have any connection to this Daniel? There are so many but I can't find the right one. Mine was born 20 Sep 1809. We believe he was born in Shenandoah County but haven't been able to find parents there so we are branching out into neighboring counties to look for possible info. If you have any info on this Daniel I would appreciate it. I live in Springfield, Ohio and there have lots of Shaver/Shaffers who have moved here from Virginia, including my father. Thanks for any help you might be able to give. Sharon Bonnie Jones <bbjones@infinet.com> wrote: Marta, I noticed that one of your associated families was Propst.

Sent: Monday, May 26, 2008 4:10 PM Subject: Hopewell, Home of General Andrew Pickens - Update, etc Dear People Concerned for Hopewell, historic home of General Andrew Pickens, 5/24/2008 I'm going to first make some inputs as to my understanding on Hopewell and Clemson University. Hopewell as best I can determine from SC Archives records online came into Andrew Picken's possession by a SC land Grant in 1784 (for his Revolution War Services). In 1785 he started building Hopewell where he lived for a number of years. Depending upon research from others he seemed to have let his son Ezekiel live in the home next and later his son Andrew Pickens Jr. (a Governor of SC) lived there. It passed through a number of hands until sometime in the 1950s when Clemson acquired the land as best I can determine through the federal land grants to Universities (some 27,000+ acres to Clemson from poor upstate SC land owners.) From others data Clemson let various people live in the home with what appears to be minimal or no maintenance. In a 1930 picture Hopewell had two dark shutters adjacent to each window. In 1972 the picture of Hopewell showed they had been removed and not replaced the shutters, however the hangers are still there in place today next to the windows. A historic marker is on route 149 about 0.7 mile SW from route 22 (Old Stone Church Rd.). On the west side of the marker (#39-4) there is an acknowledgement of Hopewell as the home of General Andrew Pickens South from the marker. On the East side of the marker is the acknowledgement of the Hopewell Treaty with the Cherokee Indians. At some time in the past the home has been placed on the National Register of Historical Homes which requires the homes to be maintained by law (as I have been told). However there is no plaque attached to the side of the front door as I am familiar with. Tom Clemson left in his will his land and direction to start a college. However about this time frame Upstate SC Farmers were petitioning the SC assembly to provide a College to educate their Children. In 1892 this act was passed by the SC Assembly and apparently the state funding for Clemson College was started in 1893. Therefore in my estimation the SC Taxpayers have mainly over the years footed the bills for the infrastructure called Clemson University today. Also note in SC today there is a continuing funding bill that provides for salaries, maintenance, up keep and any other continuing item necessary to support any institution. It of course is the option of the receiver as to where and how the money is spent in regard to preventive maintenance. In April of 2008 Ann Sheriff published an article on Hopewell and General Andrew Pickens in the Old Pendleton District (SCGS) Newsletter. When I saw it and read it I decided to visit Hopewell as I had not been there in years. I'm a native of the Lebanon Community near Pendleton and live about 3 miles from Hopewell. When I went to visit the home I could not believe what I saw. The paint was peeling off from the Clap board, the front porch and nearly everywhere on the home siding, there were large holes in the clapboard (in particular one about 2 inches wide by 12 inches long next to the middle second story window), the front porch structure had large cracks and hole in it, the porch boards were loose and buckled, the foundation had multitudes of grout missing and bricks missing plus the stone had not been repaired, a window on the second story SW corner had what looked like a place for an air conditioner in it and was left open to the rain, the gutter over the entrance to the "large beautiful fireplace in the basement- quote from Old Pendleton Commission report on Hopewell" had a rusted out gutter hanging down from the eaves, the rear kitchen chimney had kinks in the bricks and mortar was missing all over the foundation, the screens over the window to the kitchen was rotted out, rough cuts outs or rot was prevalent in a lot of the clap board, the back door kitchen steps of wood was pitched to one side with the right side buried into the ground, two windows on the North side had air conditioners mounted in them, there is a nine pane glass window to the basement open about six inches with three panes of glass broken out, and in general a home which it was more than evident that no one really cared for it or had done any preventive maintenance in some time. (By the way I have pictures of the above and more.) To top it off no one even cared to keep the grass cut. (Note of recent (5/2008) the entire grass surrounding the state has been mowed for a change.) In addition there are three out building which have some paint on the front side but none on the rear just bare boards and rot (One would think there is some type of deception going on here.). Some type of structure which looks like a weather station is in the front yard, a gas tank with two pumps is in the side yard with a metal structural building and two shelters which house construction equipment and farm equipment apparently owned by Clemson's Agriculture Engineering Department. When I got home from the visit to Hopewell I decided to try and see if I could get some help in finding out who was responsible for allowing Hopewell to rot as well as to find out who could be approached to see that some repair and maintenance was done. I do genealogical research as a hobby and manage the Hendricks DNA Project nationwide. So I posted what I had found to the web to numerous sites and people who should be concerned. I almost immediately got a reply from the Golden Corner Website (the genealogical center piece for Anderson, Oconee and Pickens Co., SC). It appears Clemson had been approached in 2000 about why the slave quarters had been bulldozed at Hopewell and about the location of a number of slave graves (This is a cemetery project for Anderson, Oconee and Pickens Co., SC). Within the reply from Clemson University, President James Barker, said he had no money for repair to Hopewell. From the record apparently nothing had been done since 2000 in maintaining Hopewell. (Later a contact with the Palmetto Trust I found out that the state of disrepair was well known to them also.) On 5/2/2008 a reporter with the Independent mail stated in an electronic mail article that Will Hiott at Clemson University was studying the restoration of Hopewell. However I continued to post this information and also to the e-mail address of the two secretaries of the Board of Trustees of Clemson University. I also wrote a letter to Bill Hendrix, the chairman of the Board of Trustees of Clemson University. To this day I have never got a single word from any of them including Will Hiott. I started contacting state people, Mr. Stroup of the SC Archives who is responsible for restoration of SC Historic Sites, the Governor of SC, our US Senators, and Representatives and finally SC State Senator Larry Martin of Pickens (who is getting involved and has brought in Senator Alexander of Oconee). Finally the Pickens Co. Historical Society made an inquiry as to what was going on. It seems they were not aware of the sad state of repair of Hopewell. Too many people have put their trust in government to do what is responsible. Anyway I continued from about the first of April to visit and look at Hopewell each day. Now remember we have been told by Liz Carey that Will Hiott is studying the renovation of Hopewell. On 4/21/2008 a Cherry Picker shows up at Hopewell. Paint is now being scraped. I watch each day what is going on. One day all the paint drapes are in place after about 10 days and 5 gallon buckets of paint appear. I post to some of my over 50 sites what is happening, saying and asking why repairs to all the rot and holes are not being made. The tarps come down and scraping continues and holes start being filled with epoxy putty, the air conditioners have been removed after I complained that how could anyone fix windows with the units in place, the SW second story window gets the lower pane replaced to keep out the rain and some grout in a hap hazard manner is put into some of the bricks at various pint around the foundation, etc. The paint scraping keeps going on and the epoxy filler begins being placed in cracks in rotting boards, the basement window with the broken panes are boarded up, without complete removal of the paint, repainting of Hopewell begins. At this time I have been forwarding all this to people who have a need to know including a reporter at the Independent mail. Then I get an e-mail from the Independent mail report telling me that Will Hiott has contacted me. No he has not. Then I am told that Will Hiott is going to spend $2 Million on the renovation of Hopewell. I ask simply if this is true does the right hand at Clemson University know what the left hand is doing? If you have plans to renovate something why partially scrape paint, fill holes with epoxy putty, board up windows, replace panes, paint everything and then say the above? To date about two coats of paint have been applied to Hopewell, nothing done to the outbuilding and what I call cosmetic repair made to Hopewell. The beautiful fireplace in the basement has been made to disappear entirely with the boarding up of windows. So I ask the question shall we believe Clemson University that they are really going to maintain and prevent further damage to Hopewell? Why is this an issue? The Golden Corner website has images along with OPD, SCGS along with many others who have records both audio and photographic on many other sites around Clemson University (including the bull dozed slave quarters at Hopewell) that mark historic events that have been left to go into ruin and are getting there. If you live in the Pendleton area you know the story that when Clemson University acquired land from Hartwell now called the Simpson Experimental Station, from the Federal Governments reimbursement for Hartwell Lake land, that Col R. W. Simpson's home was allowed to rot and was bulldozed. A Historic marker along the side of the road is all that is left of the place. Also if you lived near Joe Douthit wonderful late 1800s home (Lebanon Road)which is on the Simpson Experimental Station and has been occupied since 1965 by some Clemson University person you will find it is being let to go into extreme rot without any maintenance as well as the manager's home. In the eyes of the local people Clemson University does not have a good reputation for taking care of things outside the immediate campus. You have to just look at the Clemson building along route 149 and you see rusting roofs, rotting structures, rust stains, etc in the buildings, apparently there is no program of preventive maintenance. When you look at the money spent on the Sports facilities, the immaculate care of them, you wonder is anything important to Clemson University about recognizing and maintaining our SC Heritage? Clemson University's reputation to me is in question as to showing their true concern and intent and making public what they are going to do with a method and control to insure that SC Historic property is maintained and keep in a state that it will be insured that it is preserved for future SC generations to better understand their SC Heritage. To me the only hope I see is for Pickens County Historical Society to couple with Senators Larry Martin Pickens and Senator Alexander, Oconee so that something constructive and open to the public will be done to Hopewell to honor our greatest Upstate Hero General Andrew Pickens.

Jackson,etc., Mt. is the abbreviation for Mount not Mountain. I was thinking someone would jump in and explain why, so, since no one has let me explain. Before the days of the automobile and when people got around by horse or horse and carriage, as they traveled from place to place their horses or mounts would get tired and they would need a replacement if they were traveling to the next town. Mt. Crawford, Mt. Sidney, Mt. Jackson, etc. were designated towns where you could find a reliable replacement mount....horse. Also, I have a really cool picture of Mt. Crawford Cemetery if anyone is interested. I used the picture as a screensaver on my desktop for the longest time. Last summer my cousin and I discovered it by accident. It's located in Mt. Crawford just behind and I mean, just behind some old houses and a church that are located right on the main road through Mt. Crawford. We were on the way to dinner to another cousin's home in Broadway...and looked over to our right and in between the house we could see gravestones. We were so excited, but disappointed to because we did not have time to check it out right away. After dinner and while driving back to our motel (The Village Inn) we both decided we couldn't wait until morning. We went to Sheets Gas Station, bought a couple of flashlights and after locating the cemetery walked up and down the rows and rows of headstones shining our flashlights on each one looking for Fifers. It was a warm August night and I was barefoot. We had so much fun!!! We visited it again in November and it was so cold and windy that day we got windburn. And, we were taking pictures with our mittens on. As we were leaving I looked in my rearview mirror and that's when I saw the Mt. Crawford Cemetery wrought iron sign across the entrance way. Please let me know if you would like a picture.

Although there are some common aspects to my James M. Andrews and this James Andrew, I don't think they are the same. I found my James M. Andrews in the 1850 and 1860 Page Co. Census. He had some children older than this Zachariah and some a bit younger, so I don't think it is the same one. He had a father-in-lawl Zachariah Lamb but if there were a child Zachariach Andrews he must not have survived to 1860. He had a total of 6 children including two sets of twins.
