Among the many variant spellings of Schottli/ Schottly in America, Shitley was one. My 4GGM Anna Schottli's step-father was Hans/John Fotsch/Fudge who seems to have been a weaver who left Hallau, Schaffhausen in 1744 with a wife, 5 children and 3 stepchildren [Fotsch Hs., Weber, mit W., 5 K. und 3 Stiefk., nach Pennsylvanien]. I have list 106C for the Phoenix arrival in Philadelphia 20 Oct 1744, and I fail to see any likely suspects for Foutsch/Fotsch/Fudge or Schottli among the passengers. Do you still think that is a valid ship for them? The 1766 Augusta Co, VA court case where the 3 Schottli step-daughters are suing John Fotch for their inheritance states that Fotch left Germany in 1744 and landed in Maryland. I'd love to find a ship list for my 1744 arriving ancestors, and am trying to follow all leads.

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- I have a book The Eighth Thousand Gift Book for Young Men or Familiar Letters. It was written by Dr. Wm. A. Alcott and published in 1854. In the 1940's my mother used to buy baskets full of books at auctions. This one was included in one batch. The names written in it are A. E. Long, Alice Almar Carneal, Mary C. Jones. With the A. E. Long there is a date under the name of October 1868. Then there is November 1868. The following notes are written inside the front and back of this book. They seem to have been written by Alice Almar Carneal. They were written in Augusta County, VA This note is in the front of the book. My Dear Friend, As I am all alone this eve and have no one to chat to, I will call yhour attention a short time though what I have to say will not be very entertaining but however listen to what I have to say. More than once I have unexplained fear of discouraging you by the magniture of the work which is assigned you. Yet the beloved apostle calls the young men strong and he works to them because are so aged to do of old men farmers above forty. Even I have little hope but I have faith in the ability of young men, could that ability be rightly directed. 1,12,10 ASY This note is in the bak of the book. They seem to have been written during the Civil War and there was probably no paper, so they used blank pages in book. August County, VA October 10, 1864 The wind seems to howl mournful this gloomy looking Sabbath eve. As I sit alone the beautiful summer has past, fall has come, the dreary winter will soon be here. But no one knows but (I can't read some of the following words) being that the sons who did live to see we have what is done today and know not what tomorrow may bring forth. These are my thoughts as I muse to myself. No one nigh to hear the sighs that follows each other, but god, I feel all alone but cheerful as many cloudy thoughts rise and falls as I solemnly reflect so I will close adieu. 1,12,10 This book is gettin very faded and old. The writing is now fading, but I copied what I could years ago and have been looking for the family is belongs to. Are any of these name familiar? I would be very happy to send it to you.

The news of Mr. Long's death was unexpected to many of his friends, though his health had failed steadily during the past winter, when he suffered a severe attack of grippe. He was in Harrisonburg about two months ago, and at that time his enfeebled condition was quite noticeable. Mr. Long was a native of Rockingham, having been born and reared in the vicinity of Melrose. He was a gallant Confederate soldier, having served in the cavalry branch of the service. In business he was a man of excellent judgment and he leaves a valuable estate. He is survived by this wife, who was a daughter of the late Edmund Rosenberger, of Smith's Creek, one son and one daughter. He also leaves one brother, Mr. Peter W. Long, and one sister, Mrs. Robert Harrison, of this county. The funeral took place at the house last Sunday morning. The services were conducted by Revs. Fadely and Kohn, the attendance was unusually large. The interment was at Fellowship church, and the body was followed to its last resting place by a line of vehicles fully a mile in length.

Deaths On last Friday night at one o'clock the Death Angle came into the home of Abram Andes to claim for its own the gentle wife and fond mother who had gone in and out of that home for more than fifty years. The last months of her life were spent in affliction, yet her taking away was sudden and unexpected. She had been suffering from a complication of disease, but had rallied and hopes were entertained of her recovery. But a relapse proved fatal and on Friday night she, the estimable Christian lady that she was, passed on to her eternal reward. After an appropriate funeral service conducted by Rev. W.R. Berry, her remains were laid to rest Sunday at Mt. Horeb cemetery, there to await the final summons from on high. Mrs. Andes was formerly a Miss Long of the vicinity of Lacey Spring. In 1842 she united with the U.B. church, at the age of seventeen. In 1844 she was united in marriage to Abram Andes. Eleven children blesses this union of whom four preceded her to the spirit world. She lived to see them all grow to maturity and to become worthy of the esteem in which they are held. One of her granddaughters married Prof. W.B.Yount, of the Bridgewater College. In the death of Mrs. Andes a husband loses a devoted companion, the children a fond mother, the community a faithful member, and the church one who by the exemplary life she led was a light unto those that follow her. Her memory will long be cherished as a noble Christian woman. [Sarah (Long) Andes was the daughter of Adam and Agnes (Barley) Long]
