Hi Chocy, Yes the tabebuia tree is one of the most beautiful when in bloom. Some trees have pink blossoms and some have yellow. The trees in my yard are the yellow ones. ------------------------- Here is what I have on Elizabeth Wendel, d/o Augustinus Wendel Sr and his wife Anna Margaretha Bucher. Elizabeth's father was Augustine Wendel Sr.. He immigrated to the New World 11 August 1732 on the Ship Samuel with his brothers, Valentine and Christopher and was naturalized with his brothers in Frederick County, Virginia 5 May 1747 the same place where his daughter Elizabeth married John Bushong. ---------------- >From a report to the Virginia Department of Transportation: Frederick County Road Orders 1743-1772 By Gene Luckman and Ann Brush Miller Virginia Transportation Research Council, Charlottesville, VA Published 1973 and June 2005 Page 47 21 August 1750 O. S., FOB 3, PP 335-336 "Ordered that William Stevenson and Augustine Windle mark and lay off a Road the most convenient way from Lewis Stephens Mill to the widow Littles and that the tithables two miles on each side of the said Road Clear and keep the said Road in Repair according to Law. And it is further ordered that the said William Stevenson and Augustine Windle be Oversees of the Road." Page 111 4 August 1762, FOB 10, p. 78 "It is ordered that James Littler, Abraham Denton, Rynard Bardin, George Seller or any 3 of them being first sworn do view the Ground from Stony Lick by Christopher Windles in the main Road by M. Pughs and mark the same and report their opinion to the next Court." Page 157 6 March 1771, FOB 15, p. 116 "Upon the Petition of Sundry Inhabitants praying to have a Road opened from John Little's to the Augusta line, It is ordered that Evan Jones, Thomas Hinton, Jacob Holdman, William Jones, Tavener Beall, Peter Hollow, Augustine Coffman, and Christopher Windle, or any four of them first Sworn do view the Ground, and report the Conveniences and Inconveniences that may attend the opening a Road thereon to the Court." ----------------- The Augustinus Wendel Bible is in the holdings at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia and was donated by a Borden descendant. Augustinus was the old world name and it became Augustine in the new world. We have seen the Wendel name spelled Windle, Wendel and Wendell. In October of 2002, Russell and I had the privilege of seeing and holding this Bible at the Alderman Library at the University of Virginia at Charlottesville. It is quite large and in remarkably good shape. The date in the Bible is 1702 and is printed in German. The family history pages hand written by Augustine Wendel are also in German. The inscriptions were translated into English and the librarian was kind enough to give us a photocopy of both the original German pages and the English translation. Here are the translations pertinent to this post: "In the year of Christ, Anno 1743, in the month of June 1, Augustinus Wendel married my wife, Anna Margaretha Bucher." "In the year of Christ 1758 on the 21st of January through God's blessing a little daughter was born into the world to me and in hold (baptism) she was given the name Elisabeta. Her sponsors were my brother Christopel Wendel and his wife. The heavenly sign was in the Crab." -------------- SHENANDOAH COUNTY VIRGINIA DEED BOOK L PAGE 335 Part of the settlement of the Will of Augustine Wendel/Windel Will Written 24 April 1792 Part of settlement of estate 21 April 1796 Deed of Release 9 October 1798 "Know all men by these presents that where as Augustine Windel Senior of Shenandoah County and Commonwealth of Virginia deceased by his last will and testament in writing bearing date the twenty fourth day of April in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety two did among other legalies therein contained give and bequeath unto each of us, Jacob Windle, Augustine Windel, John Windel and Mary the wife of Augustine Borden, ELIZABETH the wife of JOHN BUSHONG now deceased and Sarah the wife of Jacob Groves, all of the County and Commonwealth aforesaid the sum or legacy of forty two pounds eighteen shillings and six pence 2 and a half farthings current money each and of his said Will made and constituted Jacob Windell and Augustine Borden Executors as in and by the said Will may appear; NOW KNOW YE, that we the said Augustine Windell, John Windell and Mary the wife of Augustine Borden, Elizabeth widow and delict of John Bushong deceased and Sarah the wife of Jacob Groves Everyone of us and for ourselves do hereby confess and acknowledge that we and every one of us have had and received of and from the said Jacob Windell the legacy or sum of Forty two pounds eighteen Shillings and six pence an half penny so as aforesaid given and bequeathed to each of us by the said Augustine Windle and therefore we do by these presents acquiescence and discharge the said Jacob Windell of and from all required dues, duties and demands whatsoever which we and either of us ourselves our executors or administrators may have claim challenge or demand afor against the said Jacob Wendell his executors or administrations by Virtue of the last Will and testament of or out of the estate of the said Augustine Wendell deceased as aforesaid.

My husband descends from Sarah Elizabeth WENDLE/WENDEL (b. 1826-d. 1894) m. James M. HISEY 28 June 1849, Edinburgh, VA. Can anyone tell me whether she descended from Augustinus WENDEL Sr.? Thank you.
