I recently made my second visit to the Miller/Claypool cemetery in Mathais, Hardy Co, WV, the first being almost exactly two years ago, and found that in the intervening time someone had reset one of the stones and added 4 modern stones at the bases of the older Claypool stones. While we were there, my wife uncovered the almost entirely buried headstone of Jane Claypool, d. June 2, 1768. Whoever left the modern stones and I disagree as to which of the older stones was Jane's. He (probably a Claypool descendent from Kentucky or North Carolina who also left $100 for mowing, according to the woman who owns the property the trail to the graveyard is on), labeled what I take to be James's foot stone as Jane, having re- erected it next to James's head stone, and put a marker identifying what I had thought to be Jane's as "Mother Rachel". My wife's discovery proves us both wrong. Clearly the stone inscribed with Jane's name is hers and not either of the other two. So, now the questions come, "Who was the mysterious benefactor of the graveyard?" and "What were his sources of information?" Or does anyone have any other info about the Miller cemetery and the Claypools and related families (Dunbars, Cahoons, Blizzards) buried there? JimB.

Sara and Mark, especially, With a surname derived as mine was, one thinks immediately of pronunciation in other languages. I think these will suggest all the name variants you were concerned about in mid-18th century VA: Antes, Anthes, Anths and Antis; and Crock, Croek, Krock and Kroek. These are found in the index to that magnificent 3 vols of Jones and Rohrbach, Even More Palatine Families. Several were on Hunter's List #3 (10). Others are to be found in Burgert's Palatine Origins ..., pp. 4-5. Perhaps Mennonite missionary lists would contain clues. As gratis, I'll add a couple of things from my long use of Knox County and nearby records. All personal records of Daviess and Knox Cos. show the family used the Anthis spelling. An occasional Authis spelling appears in copied Census records, which suggests the copier mistook a written "n" for a "u." The local French nature of Vincennes even shows in one Authais spelling. I find no Untis or Antis spellings in Knox. All were said to be b. in IN except one female said to be from IRE and one from CAN, but these probably were Anthis spouses. There was one Crock family at the time of the George Anthis-David Crock arrival; they did not grow as rapidly as the Anthis clan. Adam Harness' arrival with wife, children (10), mother and a Decker-by-marriage gave rise to many Knox relatives. 3 of his daughters married Deckers, as had his sister, Sarah; his wife was a Kuykendall, and 2 of his sons married Kuykendalls, some before the move from VA. Several later moved to IL. There were other Harness families in Knox as well. Cordially, John Tevebaugh John Tevebaugh jltevebaugh@earthlink.net Why Wait? Move to EarthLink.

Hi List, Has anyone worked on the WILSONs that were in the South Branch area ca 1750s/1760s? I descend through John Wilson b ca 1761 & Sussanah Kautzman/Couchman. I have worked with John Tevebough in trying to establish the name Couchman as being Kautzman. The family of John Wilson & Sussanah (Kautzman) moved from the South Branch area to Greene Co., TN ca 1785, John (B ca 1761) dies 1809. Then late 1820s parts of the remaining family start moving to Indiana. I was sent information (can't find it right now) that John Wilson (b 1788) was married in Knox Co., IN. The family was later living in Sullivan Co., IN. I have had trouble establishing a parentage for John Wilson (b 1761). I know that there were some WILSONs in the South Branch area mid 1700s, but I need to find a connection. Thanks, Donna ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ". . . In a quick run of the names I did not find my George (Untis / Antis); however, did find other names that went from Hampshire County to Knox County, Indiana. Two that I remember specifically were Adam Harness David crock David Crock was a son-in law of George Antis. Supposedly, David Crock married Margaret Antis in Hampshire County and then moved to Knox County, Indiana. In Knox County, Indiana in 1802, Adam Harness was a witness to the will of George Antis. There were others. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mark, Awhile back, I created a data base of early settlers in the South Branch valley using names found in the following books and records.

bonnie, glad to see your message. am at library and have copied article and sealed in envelope. will go to post office when leave here. wanted to tell you that also decided to send another interesting tidbit from laban's bible. will you scan it too? tucked into pages in the bible was a 3x3 ? pamphlet wanting german baptisits to come to pratt co., saratoga, kansas. a gentleman with a land co. wanted fellow german baptisits to buy land for $5 - 12 per acre and if the purchase was for 160 acres the co. would refund the railroad fare. pratt co. was described as being in south central kansas where it remains today. anyone know when this may have been? there was no date at all on the pamphlet, either side of the small folded thing. laban died 1917 so that gives an end date. doubt he ever went west when in civil war unit, stonewall brigade. doubt he went after service either. am so glad decided to go through bible page by page, which i did when pressed each page as many pages in bad shape. some entirely missing. there were so many "treasures" stuck to some pages that heretofore had not seen/dumped out. one other interesting item was a check for $1.00 to the pierce clinic of urology. anyone ever hear of it? do not have date with me. anyway, bonnie, as it is possible that many early churches were contacted about the land it may be possible that benjamin miller also knew about the land in kansas and perhaps his congregation even sent the pamphlet to laban's congregation? thanks again, s ps. please inform as to what site you scan to. >From: Bvmiller@aol.com >To: mandsdietz@hotmail.com >Subject: Re: miller connection >Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2006 10:24:09 EDT > >540-867-5337 - duh _________________________________________________________________ On the road to retirement?

certainly. thank you for asking. wish could scan the article but am not computer savvy. use computer purely for genealogical purpose and few friends to keep in touch easily. also saves my hands. if you would like, having pressed out and pieced together the article i photocopied it at library same day posted message and will send to you a copy if you provide snail mail info. perhaps you could post it. please mention where the article was found! did you recognize my miller names? forgot to mention that benjamin was a brother to my g.g.g. grandfather martin miller. as it is a family name thought there may be connection between my line and the benjamin in the article. also my miller line has siblings who were ministers or had children who were. any assistance greatly appreciated. s >From: Bvmiller@aol.com >To: mandsdietz@hotmail.com >Subject: Re: miller connection >Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2006 17:24:29 EDT > >May I jpost this on the Rockingham County, Virginia, site?

I'm not adverse to making the database accessible with certain caveats (i.e. I don't have the energy to review it all again for accuracy. For instance, in some cases I had to use my best guess as to some of the geographic locations as I'm only passingly familiar with the area and the names may have changed since the 1700s. ) I put it together for my own purposes to try to discover the geographical location of people by listing their neighbors who tended to act as witnesses on various deed records or act as chain holders, or listing surveyors who tended to work in given area, etc. I started out cross-referencing everyone but don't recall if I finished that process. (It's been about 10 yrs since I created it!) With a little help from others (i.e. corrections and additions), it could be very useful. The real problem I have in making it available is that I'm IT-challenged! My husband helped me set up the data base on Microsoft Access so that I can search it by name, by geographical area, by year, by surveyor, and by source. But I wouldn't know how to put that on-line or transfer it to other people (especially if you don't have Microsoft Access.) If someone on the list can offer assistance or instructions, I'm happy to share it. Sara Patton

Howdy--- I am not familiar with the names mentioned, however i am familiar with the geographic features around here. In 1748, 2001, and today (2006), the Little Cacapon has/is always known as the Little Cacapon. Never heard of any "Capon" except down on the Hardy Co./Rockingham Co. VA border along Rt. 259. That Capon is a tributary of the North Branch of the Shenandoah, a stream arising some 6 miles to the southwest. Greetings to you, Mark. Perhaps we can meet someday.

It covers both the South Branch Valley and the Cacapon Valley. I could not find the either Crock or Untis/Antis. Closest I came was Dr. James Craik on the Cacapon, North River and Dillons Run between 1761-1771. But the above bibliography may be of some help as to where to look for names. Just now I looked in index of Kerns book "Frederick Co, VA Settlement and some First Families of Back Creek Valley 1730-1830 but found neither name. Found lots of references to Henry Enoch from 1753-1768 on Cacapon and vicinity; Harness of course is good old South Branch name and almost every Harness man had a son named Adam so there you are.
