Hi, Great News!!! THE 1860 CENSUS IS NOW ONLINE!! We are very proud to announce the completion of the 1860 Hampshire Co Census. I transcribed this census, and then asked if there were any volunteers to proofread it. One very brave soul, Kay Chapman (my new found "Fleek" cousin from Oregon) volunteered and recruited her husband too. I have to admit, I really must have done a shoddy job of this. It was my first attempt at trying to decipher the old hand writing (which can get quite unnerving at times), and all I did was sit and type it. Kay and Gary are the best!! They are perfectionists!!!, and took this task with so much enthusiasm and tackled this job in the most professional manner I have ever seen. It humbles me to look at what I would have turned in for uploading, and what became of it after it was in their hands. I'm elated to be a part of this project because of them, They worked so hard and did such a fantastic job!!, and I think they deserve ONE HUGE THANK YOU from all of us!!! I received an email that the census is now online, and can be viewed at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/census/states/virginia/va1860.htm The following is the blurb written by Kay and Gary: Please note: West Virginia was admitted to the Union June 20, 1863. Mineral County, West Virginia, was formed from Hampshire County in 1866. Transcription of hand-written census records is a rewarding but frustrating endeavor. While the images of this census were quite good, nothing can help when an ink spot or other smear obliterates the handwriting. Deciphering the writing of the census taker (enumerator) also is a concern. While the handwriting in this particular census is quite good, our best interpretation sometimes had to be used. For example, the letters T and L were quite similar. The old style double ess was used and sometimes looked like fs or ps.When in doubt, asterisks (*) have been used to indicate the unknown characters. In some instances, we have indicated an alternate possible interpretation in the remarks line. Our attempt to faithfully transcribe the census includes apparent misspellings. For instance, Piedmont was consistently spelled Peidmont. Pennsylvania was Pensylvania. An additional item to address is Column 12: "Attended School Within the Last Year." In this census, the total number of "school children" in the dwelling was entered on the line for the head of household. On many pages, it appears an attempt was made later to indicate the children who probably were those in school. Software limitations precluded entry of the number from the census into column 12, so we have placed an X in that column and indicated the number in the remarks line. For example, we you see #12:4 in the remarks line, it means that four children from that dwelling attended school. Where indicated by the census taker, we also placed an X in the appropriate column for that child. The columns from this census include the following information: 1. Dwelling Number 2. Family Number 3. Name 4. Sex 5. Age 6. Color (white, black or mulatto) 7. Occupation 8. Real Estate Value 9. Personal Estate Value 10. Place of Birth 11. Married within last year 12. Attended school within last year 13. Over 20 and cannot read or write 14. Whether deaf and dumb, blind, insane, idiotic, pauper, or convict. (An "X" in this column indicates that the specific detail will be found in the Remark line. Again, my eternal heartfelt thanks to Gary and Kaye. What a team!!!!! :) Patti

(2) Valentine Stalnaker 2nd b ca 1797 d Calida,OH served as deputy sheriff under father. no wife given.. This Valentine was s/o Susannah Hart and Geo Washington Stalnaker who m. Nov 17,1796 in Randolph Co,VA ..Marriage Record Bk 1,pg 5 d nov 1857 and burial is here. He was s/o Valentine Stalnaker (1758-1833) & Catherine Martiney (1753-1803)..

Apparently, not everyone thought they were heroes. Catherine Stump could not forgive her son-in-law Jacob Brake for whatever role he played in the rebellion, as she stated in her will in 1783--just 2 years later--he was to have none of the money she left her daughter, Catherine Stump Brake, Jacob's wife. "Each of my Daughters, and their Children to have their share of the money without the husband having any right or claiming of any that they only make use of it, for their own necessary use, without, their Husband's having any right or Demand upon the Same- and Especialy that Jacob Brake have non, and this is my will Conserning the money." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patch227" <Patch227@email.msn.com> To: <WVHAMPSH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, May 14, 2000 6:20 PM Subject: Re: [WVHAMPSH-L] Purgett genealogy > The may help on the rebellion of 1781 > Claypoole is my direct line, the papers from VA records cover both, the men > in the reb., John's letter for pardon and others requesting a pardon.

Hi Sara Just realized my mistake of having children of James B. Watkins being born in Hampshire Co. Should read Loudon Co. (except perhaps those born after 1810, as James doesn't show in Hampshire Co until sometime between 1810 and 1820 (census shows William and Thomas Watkins in 1810, and James and Thomas in 1820) Grant

The trouble Co Lt Van Meter had raising troops to put down Claypool's rebels hints that Van Meter's militia were at Yorktown after Cornwallis. In 1775, Washington had 7,000 troops IN FRONT OF THE British at Boston,but most of the Rev War,the rebel forces were about 1500 men. But,when word got out Cornwallis might be trapped at Yorktown, militia hurried there,increasing his forces to 7,000 again. Anyway,Van Meter's shortage hints that it was old Thomas Brown,father of many,who was sent north to Cumberland,Md hunting troops. Thomas Browns family was later in Ky and Ohio close to some signers of the pardon petiton. It may be many of the young men were in Ky,instead of Hardy Co.

Very simply the men were drunk and resented high taxes.There are a very more official VA. papers. Barbara Johnson On April 11, 1781, Col. VanMeter the County Lieutenant, informed Gov. Jefferson that "a dangerous insurrection" had broken out in Hampshire and the collection of beef and clothing for the army had come to a halt. John Claypole, the leader, had announced that "if all the men were of his mind they would not make up any Cloathes, beef or men," and publicly drank a health to George III. When the sheriff went to arrest Claypole, he found sixty or seventy armed men standing guard at his house and prudently withdrew. As the Claypole family had many relations and connections "with the most considerable Families on those Waters and the strongest friends to our present constitution, " it was virtually impossible to find militiamen to bring him to justice. When Hampshire militia would not turn out after Claypole's men exchanged fire with a small party of them on Lost River, the county lieutenant called for help from the Frederick and Rockingham militia. Bo. Benjamin Harrison, who lived in the old stone For Harrison in Dayton, recalled later the he "had entrusted to his conduct a little expedition against some Tories in Hardy Co. (then Hampshire) who had assembled under the influence of a man called General Claypole." General Harrison's Rockingham Co., Militia pursued their quarry through the mountain valleys of Lost River and the Cacapon. "It turned out to be a frolic rather than a battle. The chief aim of the expedition was to capture the general, but he eluded their pursuit."Claypole and his confederates finally surrendered on terms. When they were brought to trial in August, mothers, wives and children, crowded the courtroom ready to bid a last farewell to their relations. It was understood that there would be a death sentence , followed by an immediate execution. But Claypole's friends and relations were seeking a full pardon for him and his fellow insurgents. General Daniel Morgan himself sad wrote Claypole promising to obtain a full pardon for him if he would give himself up and return to his duty. Petitions from nearly all the prominent Patriots in that part of Virginia reached Gov. Thomas Nelson. In the end, Claypole was granted a full pardon and the Lost River insurgents were almost heroes, for they had successfully stood up to the tax collector and county lieutenant and spoken aloud what their neighbors deeply felt. ----- Original Message ----- From: Veerle Foreman <vforeman@shentel.net> To: <WVHAMPSH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, May 12, 2000 9:03 PM Subject: Re: [WVHAMPSH-L] Purgett genealogy > This was known as Claypool's Rebellion and was covered by Richard MacMaster > in his History of Hardy County, 1786-1986.. > > Mike > > john kleinke wrote: > > > Thanks to Herman Fagley, I have been able to better read my 4ggr.

Lord Cornwallis entered VA in April 1781, and then went on to meet B. Arnold who had been waiting since December I think I read it was in Petersburg. The info for the Claypool's I'm so overloaded with, they arrived not on the Welcome actually but on another ship.And were strong Quakers at that time, till 1700. John was the son of James, James, James and then back into England, if anyone needs help with the family I have researched it in depth . By 1701 James the father of John had been bapt. in the Episcopal church in New Castle Del. Most of the people in the area had long forgotten Quaker beginnings I know when they got to Ohio most had been members of the Methodist Epis. Church. Abraham that was mentioned was the brother of this John. The confusion in the family line comes with two James, cousin's being born in Del., one in New Castle and one in Sussex Co. It is believed and seems to be working out that the hardy branch is New Castle, but that is much too involved for this list. Another letter that was enclosed with what I send was from Joshiah Osburn and mentions "Sir, Having consulted the Majority, it is the Desire of that their conduct that has past Lately may be forgiven, as a great part of it was occasioned by Liquor, and as there is things that is Laid to the Charge of Sum, that is clear of the Charge, but moreover we acknowledge our behavior was not Descreet..." he goes on to say they would be willing to pay the District tax. Another letter is very lengthy from Claypole and several others written to then Governor Thos Nelson and the council of Virginia which does mention the area "infested by the wicked Emissaries or pretended Emissaries of the British who travel through all parts of the Frontiers and Misrepresentations and false news poisoned the minds..." This discussion could go on and on and the list does not need to get bogged down with it, so I'll provide what I can if anyone wants just email me. Barbara

Fayetteville,Perry Twnsp,Brown Co,Oh was settled by Abraham Claypool's sons. Abraham was from Hardy Co,WV and lived in Ross Co,Oh. Claypool's were on the ship 'Welcome" with Wm Penn [1682 Quakers to Philadephia]. The n Del Swede Christian Steelman,was the step-father of James Claypool,early on the Lost River. Their neighborhood had many with Quaker roots. I have my doubts about the following account. That Claypool led a rebellion is fact,though. 1780-81 era. I'd love to compare the dates with the dates of Lord Cornwallis's British troops entry into s Va from the Carolina's. I know in NC,Cornwallis had agents in advance of his troops attempting to raise Loyalist sentiment. I read of a very s Va militia Capt,who switched sides,WHIG > Loyalist,as Cornwallis' army grew near, and tried to convert his militia company. That's what I have long thought. Claypool's once Quaker neighborhood likely never was very pro-war.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by norm.shentel.net id JAA05846 Hi Everyone, On Friday 5/12/00 I received a notice from Walden ROUSH in Point Pleasant, WV about a "Fourth Annual Foreman Reunion" on Saturday, 10 Jun 2000 at the West Virginia Farm Museum close to Point Pleasant, WV and Gallipolis, OH. I am sorry to find my wife and I alrady have other plans for that weekend and will not be able to attend. In my opinion it was an outstanding reunion notice with a colored photo of presumably last years attendees (but no caption of who was shown in the photo). Are any of you folks in the photo? There was also a very-helpful colored map on the backside of the notice. I have tried this "one size fits all" multiple addressee type of message approach in the past, some have been well received as a way to do the maximum amount of dissemination in the shortest period of time, while other efforts via this route have not been too well received. I believe time is getting critically short to try to pull this off to have a message or two back-and-forth before 10 June 2000, plus Helene & I are planning to be out of the loop for 10 days over Memorial Day weekend. Please bear with me as I try once again. I do think there may be some information that is of interest to some of you. If on the other hand there is no interest, or all of this is "old hat" type of information, simply "trash" this message. In the way of introductions, I have taken the liberty to chronologically list each of you in the order we first got in contact with one another over the last several years. As far as I know Walden Roush does not have E-mail access, so I will send him a copy of this message via US mail. However, I have not gone back over all of my old correspondence and notes with each of you in order to try to refresh my memory to the n-th degree. Walden ROUSH (Pt. Pleasant, WV) - Several years ago I chatted with Walden via phone regarding my g grandmother Sarah Ann ROUS(C)H from Reading, Berks Co., PA. In subsequent letters and phone conversations back and forth with Walden said he had FOREMAN Family ancestors from WV and wondered it he and I might possibly be FOREMAN Family cousins. I did not know then, and still do not know if that might be the case. "the other Tom FOREMAN" - Tom and Walden are FOREMAN Family cousins with known common ancestors in the WV & OH areas near Point Pleasant. WV. Tom, I trust you are not offended by my referring to you as "the other Tom" as I have a son Tom K., everyone knows of ABC's newscaster Tom, etc. When you respond maybe you can suggest a better handle for future messages. You can call me Tom A. or Tom/PA, or whatever. Michael M. FOREMAN - (Winchester, VA) I have not taken the time to re-check Michael's Internet posting at - http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/f/o/r/Michael-M-Foreman/index.html or Cindy Jensen's posting at http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=jens007&id= I9140 in any great detail to see how Michael might, or might not, be related to Walden and "the other Tom". I seem to remember that Michael's listing included a David and a David, Jr, who reportedly had descended from the Long Island, NY FOREMAN Family immigrants, who had came from England in the late 1600's Sharon HUGHBANKS - (of Noblesville, IN) Contacted me recently and on 5/3/00 sent me copies of (2) FOREMAN Family reference publications. Sharon says she descends from a James Foreman (German ancestry) also from Hampshire Co. in the very early 1800's. The first reference publication, title unknown as title page was missing, was written by a Mildred Foreman Gage, back in February, 1986. At that time Mildred lived in Asheville, NC. This particular copy of the publication was located in the Dallas, TX Public Library and had been placed there in Nov 1987. On page 9 there was a pedigree chart which includes the early FOREMAN Families of David FOREMAN (ca 1755-1811) & Elizabeth HORINE (1763-1955) and his son David FOREMAN (1791-1856) & Margaret GALLOWAY (1785-1835). From there Mildred descended through Nicholas - Otis - Logan - Mildred. This David reportedly was of German ancestry. On Illustration V there was a copy of a German script signature for David's marriage certificate as "David FÜHRMAN" Here is an Internet posting I saw some time ago which apparently is about this very same family. ---------- Re: Forman/Foreman Ancestors Posted by: Corkey Waite <corkeywaite@aol.com> Date: November 03, 1998 at 15:05:17 In Reply to: Forman/Foreman Ancestors by Bea Tritch of 175 I believe you are talking about David Foreman (b abt 1755 in Germany, d abt 1811 in Mercer KY) who married Elizabeth Horine (b abt 1763 in Germany; d April 11 1855 in IL.) April 18 1788 in Lincoln, KY. They had more than 9 children: George A (b 1789), David Nicholas (b 1790), Jacob (b 1793), Benjamin (b 1795), Samuel G. (b 1797), John (b 1798), Elizabeth (b 1803), Michael (b 1806), Absolem (b 1808). There were probably 4 other daughters. John's wife, Nellie's given name was Elinor, according to my source. David Foreman (Fuhrman) is buried in KY; Elizabeth Horine Forman is buried in Blue River Cemetery near Detroit, Pike County, Illinois. Elizabeth's father's name was Fredrick de la Horine (1715-1769) ------------ The second reference publication from Sharon was titled, "Ancestors and Descendants of David Foreman, Sharon Township, Noble County, Ohio" which were the "Records of Hezekiah M. Foreman, donated by Grace Foreman Sterling" dated 15 June 1988. On pages 10-12 there was a handwritten Family Group Sheet for David FOREMAN 1st (?-1795) & Christina Vogelsang (?-1821) including their children - John - Samuel - Christina - Anna - Abylonia - David 2nd - Jacob - Washington. David 1st, his wife, Christina, and quite a few of their children were buried in a Foreman Family Cemetery in Hampshire Co., VA/WV. This David was also of German ancestry, reportedly coming from the Hesse-Darmstadt area of Germany. Seeing the WV citation caused me to immediately think of Walden & "the other Tom". Sharon and I were also a bit excited about the similarity of some of the children's names in this David's family versus the children's names in "my" Jacob FUHRMAN & Anna Catharine TRUMBEIN's family, i.e. Jacob - Margaret - John Peter - Christina - John - Mary - Appalonia - Daniel - Hannah - David - Catharine. May be it was pure conincidence or perhaps they may have been cousins. Also a George VOGELSANG & his wife apparently were friends of "my" Jacob FUHRMAN & Anna Catharine TRUMBEIN in Frederick (now-Carroll) Co., MD in the late 1800's. Lived near one another and sponsored the other's children at baptisms. I will dig some of these details out of my files by the time I post the next message or two. Even more exciting (part of the second publication) for me was viewing pages from a FORMAN Bible with listings of David, Samuel, Abilonah, etc. and other pages from a Diary that included places such as Onondaga, Canandagua, in upstate NY, Shamokin and some of the townships in Northumberland Co., PA, Huntingdon in Huntingdon Co., PA, and Union Mills, Frederick (now-Carroll) Co. Back on 28 Apr 1997 I had posted a message to Michael which read in part as follows ---------- "---, this PM I was 90 miles south of Towanda searching for some of my DEEM Family ancestor information at the Northumberland Co. (PA) Historical Society, when lo and behold they showed me a map of old Northumberland (Town of) and close by was a "Furman Cemetery".

Will Book #2, Page 432) > >There was another Benjamin Foreman citation in the Warrants and Patents >Section at the courthouse for some property in 1821. > ------ End of Excerpt --------- I am in the process of trying to decipher the recordings in the Bible and Diary pages and will share that information with all of you who are interested. Unfortunately some of the pages are missing from the Diary, and Xerox copies of Xerox copies leave a lot to be desired in the way of copy quality of documents that are on the order of 200 years old. I also have to say, I see no German script anywhere in the handwritten citations in the Diary, although there were the double "s"es common in German handwriting. The spelling of FORMAN seems to indicate these folks might have been of English ancestry. Right now, my preliminary speculation based on what I have seen and read so far, would be that the Bible and Diary were from the English immgrant families and not the German ones. That can always change in a hurry with new input. Please understand, this message is in no way intended to be devisive or argumentative. My genealogy goals have not changed in trying to identify my FUHRMAN/FOREMAN Family ancestors "back to the boat". In this case there seems to be a "new glimmer of hope" that I might find some more clues regarding the siblings, and/or ancestors of my Jacob FUHRMAN/FOREMAN, whether it turns out to have been in Colonial America or back in Germany. Have a good day! Tom --------------B83819370DD883555E5B98A0--
