My cousin,Bill Fagley's wife,Evie,or EDFAGLEY@prodigy.net has Coble-Koble's of the 1710 colony to Kobleskil,w Albany,NY, and then south,across country,to the backwoods of Tulpehocken, nw Berks Co,Pa . She sent me xerox's on the colony years ago, but I'm not digging thru my old files for a titile. I guess my original source for learning there was a Tulpehocken ,Pa to S Branch colony was a Michael Harness researcher,on Prodigy genealogy,about 1993. She ,I remember,gave a 1730's date,which I questioned,thinking 1740's more accurate. The colony of Pa relied,in the 1740's on a Tulpehocken German,who had lived among the Indians,as an interpeter. Conad Weiser [sp?] . Remember,when 1st settled, Tulpehocken,Pa did "not" abutt white settlements,nor was it settled from the nearest white settlements of Pa. Thinking Bethel,Pa is about it's location. Pardon my spelling,but it's pre-dawn,and to dark to hunt the correct spelling. Matatawny=Amity= Douglassville ,Pa was settled from people moving up the [sp?] Schulkyl River,which empties in the Delaware at Philadelphia, and by Swedes,who had been on the Delaware, 1638-56. Tulpehocken was settled by 1710 era immigrants from Germany>England> w Albany,NJ, who moved down the [?] Susquahanna River thru the mountians to Tulpehocken.Those 2 white settlements of 1720 wre across Berks Co,Pa from one another,and Matatawny=Amity-\Exteter was the nearest white trading center,as it was. Perkomen was east of the latter a bit,and mostly Germanic. I have faint memory that WM Penn toured the Rhine in Germany,1705+ promoting his colony,and setting off this big migration from the Palatinate section,which showed up very poor,in England soon after. 1727 or 1737 is the time Philadelphia started keeping records of ship loads of Germans arriving,and-or being naturalizied, but [?] 1709 is the Patatine migration.

I saw your posting and asked the Conservator at work (National Geographic Society) if she could offer any advice. Here's her response: ================= Subject: Re: old photos The chemicals that are used to get rid of mold are highly toxic, and only used by professional conservators. The treatments can be long and costly, but if your friend wants a list of photograph conservators in her area she can email me or log on to the AIC website at aic.stanford.edu. http://aic.stanford.edu/ ================= The website looks informative.

SAMUEL TAGGART - born circa 1781 and twice married; info on first wife and children unknown; second marriage circa 1822 in Marion Co. VA to Elizabeth Spielman, with five children all born in Hampshire Co.: Charles (1825), Mary (1827), Samuel Jr. (1829), Reuann (1831, m. JAMES C. KELLER 1856 in Marion Co. WV, died 1906 in Marion Co.

He may have had a brother named DANIEL TAGGART, appearing as joint owner in 1781 land records of Frederick Co. The son DANIEL TAGGART apears to have been living in Winchester, Frederick Co. in 1838, as his name appears in land records of that year. The 1830 census lists a Daniel Taggart of Winchester with a woman of similar age and one female under the age of five (born 1825-1830).

My Watkins line has Judith Lane Timbrook (b. 1797-d. 1885) daughter of John Timbrook and Elizabeth Lane of Hampshire Co, VA/WV, married Thomas Bates Watkins in Romney, Hampshire Co, VA Nov 20, 1815. I don't know much more about Timbrooks though there appear to be several in Frederick and Loudoun Co, VA as well. Another clue is that Elizabeth Lane, wife of John Timbrook, was born in 1771 to Wm Lane and Rebecca Montanye of Monmouth Co, NJ. She had a brother, James Lane and a sister, Phoebe Lane. Phoebe born 1773, James born 1769. DAR papers show William Lane born in Monmouth County, New Jersey in 1740 and died in 1790. He served as a Private Minute Man in the Monmouth County New Jersey Militia during the Revolutionary War. Thomas B. Watkins ( born 1779) appears to be son of William and Ann Watkins of Loudoun Co, VA. There are DAR references for William Lane and a Rev War pension for Thomas Bates Watkins which gives a great deal of info on Thomas and Judith and their children. Hope this helps.

I find a 1751 listing in Augusta Co for orphans Samuel and James Patterson, orphans of James Patterson with Mathew Armstrong, John McGill guardians (can't determine geographic location within county which then include portions of South Branch Valley). Samuel and Martha Patterson are listed in John Reager's 1765 estate settlement with others from South Branch area. Also a Peter Patterson in 1769 on South Branch adj.

Try Augusta, Frederick or Orange Co records too! I found Michael Oxer listed in 1757in Augusta Co Records when he attended a vendue (estate sale) for Christian Doscher at Michael Stumps place on the South Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac (south of Mooresfield today.) Check Chalkley abstracts on line for Augusta Co records. Just remember, his abstracts are not complete so you may still want to look at original records. http://www.rootsweb.com/~chalkley/ Sara Patton At 04:37 AM 8/10/00 -0700, you wrote: >Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum >Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hampshire/1318 > >Surname: Oxer, Axer >------------------------- > >I am looking for ANY mention of Michael Oxer/Axer in Hampshire County from >1753 through 1771 or anyone else by that last name.

Jean, There were at least two distinct See families in western VA/WV from the 1750s on. One was headed by George and Margaret See who came to the South Branch Valley of the Potomac from the Tulpehocken Valley of Berks Co, PA. The descendents of this family still live in the South Fork, Lost River region of Hardy Co, while others moved west to Randolph Co, WV and southwest to Greenbrier and Kanawha Co. and onto Indiana, KY, MO, IL and IA and points west. The other See family was headed by Martin See, who lived near Maxatawny Twp in Berks Co, PA and were not related to George See family. He settled farther south in the Shenandoah Valley on the Calf Pasture River in 1773. From there his sons, moved west to KY and beyond. Coonrad was part of this family. The See List (See-L@rootsweb.com) is quite active and helpful and there are a number of descendents from both See families who may be able to help you.

Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hampshire/1318 Surname: Oxer, Axer ------------------------- I am looking for ANY mention of Michael Oxer/Axer in Hampshire County from 1753 through 1771 or anyone else by that last name. This is the missing link in an extensive family research project. I we can find family members in Hampshire or surrounding counties between these dates we are finished. I am looking in particular for marriages of women by the Axer/Oxer, etc. spelling. Can anyone check available Hampshire County records? Please help! Thanks!
