Do I believe that Walter Eye's book is correct regarding the ancestors of Johannes Zacharias Rexroth? Zach's direct line, as given on p. xi of Eye's book is the same as that given in vol. 94 of Deutsches Geschlechterbuch, which is widely accepted as a reliale source. So yes, I believe that much of it: Johannes Zacharias Rexroth (Rexerodt), b. 1725, son of; Johann Balthasar Rexerodt, b. 1673, son of; Hans Barthel Recksrodt, b. 1645, son of; Wenzelslaus Recksrodt, b. 1621 I have not studied all the brothers, sisters, cousins, etc. of Zach, so I cannot speak to the others listed on pp xi and xii of Eye's book. But I can advise caution about pp ix and x. They contain errors. Bill Rexroad Hutchinson, Kansas

Hi folks, hope someone can help with this. There is a ROY marriage record in Randolph Co. that started me on a search. Randolph Co. marrriages, bk 3 pg 2 - 1854 Mary Roy, age 16, of Randolph Co., dau of Washington & Phebe Roy Simeon Davis, age 23, of Pendleton Co., son of J. & Sarah Davis married by Jos. Roy (Mary Roy c1838, Simeon Davis c1831 - I believe Mary may have been younger than this record indicates, probably c1840 or c1841 according to the later census) Anybody missing a Phebe that could have died about 1840-1842 and could have been married to Washington Roy? RE: MARY ROY (c1840) Washington Roy (c1822), son of Joseph Roy & Sarah Summerfield, is the only Washington Roy I know about so far in that time period. Jesse L. Roy (c1816), son of Joseph Roy & Sarah Summerfield married Mary Vance in 1842 in Randolph. (Mary Vance dau of Robert Vance & Catherine Barnhouse) Isaac Roy (c1812), son of Joseph Roy & Sarah Summerfield married Emily Vance in 1836 in Pendleton. (Emily Vance dau of Robert Vance & Catherine Barnhouse) 1850 census, Randolph Co. Roy, Isaac 38, Emily 34 + Roy, Mary 7 (c1843) + Nelson, William 13 + Westfall, Elizabeth 65, pauper (Note, I've been told Isaac Roy's will lists no children). 1870 census in DeWitt Co., Illinois: Davis, Simeon 39, Mary 29 & family. (Simeon c1831, Mary c1841-Roy) Roy, Jesse L. 53, Mary 47 & family. (Jesse c1817, Mary c1823-Vance) 1880 census in Champaign Co., Ilinois: Davis, Simeon 49, Mary 40 & family. (Simeon c1831, Mary c1840) RE: SIMEON DAVIS (c1831) 1850 census in Pendleton, there is a Simeon Davis, age 19, son of Jesse Davis Sr., but Jesse Davis' wife is Irene and is only 21. I think this Jesse Davis was previously married to Elizabeth Bland in 1827 in Pendleton. Could Elizabeth have gone by Sarah, or am I on the wrong track? (There are so many J. Davis entries in Pendleton!!) Any feedback appreciated, Cathy

You're welcome Anita. No, my husband is not part of the VA-WV Thompson clan, unless they connect at some point earlier than my research. His THOMSSEN family is from Germany-NY-NJ-St. Louis-Seattle-Chicago and his emigrating ancestor arrived in the U.S. in the 1860's. My mother desc. from an early settler in Pendleton, Joseph ROY, d. 1798. He had a son named Joseph who settled in the Dry Fork area. Related surnames are Washburn, Hartley, Summerfield, Bonner, Flanagan, Vance, Pennington, Nelson, White and Bonner. My stepdad also has Pendleton Co. connections, Hedrick, Hinkle, Reed, Hoover and Jack.

Zach took up residence in Tulpehocken, Berks County, Pennsylvania, where he married in 1751 and began raising a family. The last known record implying his presence in Pennsylvania is the birth of a child there in April 1761. He next appeared in Virginia where his name is seen on Augusta County court records as a purchaser at an estate sale in November 1767. But his whereabouts between 1761 and 1767 have been a mystery. Now a record has been found that closes the six-year gap to something less than three years. The Augusta County Court Minute Book 1764-1766 at the courthouse in Staunton, Virginia lists on pages 60, 63, 87, and 109 a proceeding registered as Null v. Rexroad. The multiple listings show the case being taken up, discontinued, and then continued again after some formalities were cleared up. The first listing was recorded on 22 June 1764 and the last on 23 November 1764 when the case was again discontinued. Was this Zach? A first name is not given in the Minute Book, so we cannot say with absolute certainty. But it likely was him because he is the only known adult male Rexroad in America at the time. Furthermore, we have the fact that Zach is the only adult male Rexroad mentioned in records of that same area a few years later. So we know he ended up there. It is just a question of when. And for him to be in Virginia in 1764 fits with his disappearance from records in Pennsylvania. That his name is on a court record in 1764 implies that he may have been there even earlier. It takes time to become involved in affairs that end up in court. The nature of the court case is not known, but the name Null appears often in other court records of the time and some of them involved disputes over land. But why haven't other serious Rexroad researchers seen this record that places Zach in Virginia in 1764? One such researcher stated in her papers that she relied not on original records for information of this kind, but instead on a work by Lyman Chalkley called "Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia, Extracted from the Original Court Records of Augusta County, Virginia 1745-1800." This three-volume set includes the Court Order Book, not the Minute Book. Pages 113-116 of Chalkley's volume one contain Order Book entries from 24 March 1764 to 22 November 1764, but there is no mention of a filing of Null v. Rexroad. That the case was eventually discontinued may have kept it out of the Order Book , and thus undiscovered to anyone who relied only on Chalkley for such information.

Bill, Thank you for following up on this. Klaus Wust's publishing company did publish several of George Smith's translations but not this one. It would be a great project. If someone is interested and can get permission from Handley, I can put you in touch with Klaus.
