Bev, I believe Licking County was laid out as a Military Tract and lands granted as you described; however, that was earlier. Stephen bought up a large portion of land from someone who had gotten it through a Military grant much earlier. Stephen had sold a large portion of land in Frederick Co., Va in 1834/35 and paid several thousands of dollars for the land he purchased outright in Ohio in 1837. When the railroad came through St. Louisville he left some of his sons their to farm the land and moved to McLean County, Illinois in the 1850s returning to St. Louisville sometime after the war. Some his children stayed in Illinois. This leaves many questions as to why when they seemed to have enough money to buy all this property for cash. Even more curious, is that Stephen and Mary Ritter were in their early 40's when they left Virginia. They owned a lot of land with quite a number of buildings on it. They paid a lot of taxes on their holdings and it seems they had ample room for their children. I wonder if their was another reason? Chocy

Phyllis, I thought maybe it was because the National Road was being opened up in the 1830s. I know it went through Licking County around Newark (it came through PA & Wheeling and was financed by the US government) and found its way into Columbus. We traveled from Newark to Columbus on the #16 which I believe was part/near the original road when we visited in February (we are from California). Someone on another list said that their was a drought in Northern Virginia in the early 1830s and that could have been a reason, as well as cheap land and military grants. Chocy

Farms in Kentucky. Ohio, Indiana and many other states were offered as bounty lands after various wars - Revolutionary War, War of 1812, etc. I don't remember which areas were bounties after which wars but I bet someone on this list does! Another thing that helped push folks west was that they had divided the farms in Va among kids so many times that they could not make a living on them anymore. Many families sold out and headed west for more land while it was cheap.

I do see more of my family in this post, and the other HUPP folks that to my knowledge are not part of my family! I will keep them in mind, however! George, George A. and George F. were part of my family. This is indeed wonderful! I have saved all these posts. Thanks ever so much! Joyce

My family went to Newark, Licking Co., OH. I am not sure of the date, although Mary HUPP m Joseph ENGLISH in 1819 in Newark, so they were certainly there by then. I show one of Mary's brothers as being born in Kanawha VA in 1812, but I don't know right offhand where I got that? Joseph was said to be a soldier in the War of 1812, but somehow the Nat'l Archives has lost his records. They have a card that says where to find it, but it has not been there for many years. Now that is the HUPP family that went to Newark. I don't know if the WILSON family went, too. I know families went in groups, and the ENGLISH family had been in New Market in VA. My great grandmother was named Virginia because the family remembered that area with so much happiness. She was Sarah Virginia (or Virginia Sarah, not sure which name came first!) ENGLISH b 1841, Licking Co., OH. Joseph ENGLISH was the son of Job ENGLISH and Jane VANCE. They also went to Newark and are buried there. Samuel HUPP and Margaret WILSON went to Newark also and died there. Her father had died bef her marriage so I don't know if any other of her family went. That is something I could research. Frederick Co. is another place I show in my records that my family lived. It would be interesting to know why they all left at that time.

Joyce, Where did your Wilson family move to in Licking County, Ohio? My third great grandparents were both born and raised in the Shenandoah Valley in 1790. They sold out in 1837 moving with all their children to Licking County, Ohio where Stephen and Mary "Polly" Ritter/Rutter helped found the village of St. Louisville. Stephen owned the whole northside of St. Louisville where he farmed as well as running a stageline from Mt. Vernon to Zaneville. This included a tavern and inn. We were elated to find a sign upon entering St. Louisville on the #13 (north of Newark and on both sides of the village) stating St. Louisville Founded by Stephen Ritter and John Bell in 1839 when we first visited this last February. I found many of the names in these tax and land records of Shenandoah and Frederick Co., VA in the cemeteries in and around St. Louisville. Anyhow, I hope that the information I sent helps to paint a better picture of your family. Happy Hunting, Chocy

Hello rjfranke@worldnet.att.net, In reference to your comment: è There are a couple of other HUP(P) names that are not è part of my family, that I know of. The names Palser and è Beelser come up every now and then when someone is è looking for HUPP family members. Their names have è never been associated with my family. Relatives è maybe, from Germany? I would hold onto that information - they are probably related somehow and you will wish you had it later! I have Dinges cousins in Page that say the Dinges families in Shenandoah are not related - but they are second cousins to my generation - We had the same great grandparents. In only 3 generations, the relationship has been forgotten.

Chocy, Thanks very much for the exciting information on my Quick family ancestors! Now I know some more of them were in Shenandoah County than I knew before! Your help is much appreciated. Yours truly, Dell Quick P.S. to Norman Runyon: No, I do not know about the village of Tunis, or how it got its name. Where is it?

Chocy, According to John Wayland's "History of Shenandoah County, Virginia" (P. 229), Edward and John Wiatt were among those included on the 1785 Tax List of John Anderson. Later on, in 1807, I have Edward Wiatt/Wiett/Wyatt in Anderson County, TN. If and when you find time I would appreciate your looking on any tax lists you may have for any year between 1785 and 1807... as I do not know when he and wife Sarah Smith Wyatt (her father, Samuel Smith, was also on the above 1785 tax list) left Shenandoah County. Many thanks in advance, Elaine

Does anyone know how the village of Tunis got it's name? Norman

Listers, I will continue with the look-ups at my next opportunity-------they take quite a bit of time; but Part #1 and Part #2 did show me something I did not see before. Note the numbers for Captains with their names. Apparently, Mr. Young must have sent his Captains out to the different households in the years mentioned. On Part #1 and Part #2 I included only the names mentioned in my heading as those were the only ones I had when I started the project. I was only able to get through the years of 1782 through 1799 which included all of the pages I have for Reel #315. You can look through the list now and see what years I have with what letter of the ABCs. Note that some years I have all of the pages of the list. Because this takes much longer than I expected, I will incorporate any new request I get with my next session which will start with the year 1800, Reel #316 and continue to work myself through the pages. So if your request starts at 1800, it because that is where I left off last but I will go full circle again. I hope that this has been of help. Chocy

Thanks for the information and looking. The Balles if you have time you can send. I will never assume again it is spelled one way. I have learned that on four names now..... Thanks Again Dee
