Hi Van Kirks! In investigating my G grandfather, Pinkney Dahmer, I believe his father to be George H. Dahmer, son of Martin Dahmer, son of John George Dahmer. I'm not exactly sure if this is correct yet, as I have some more research to do, and some of the dates I've found don't jive with the census data. But, more than likely, we are related. In an additional twist, my grandfather, Daniel Ezra Hevener, had a sister, Mary Susan, who married into the Dahmer family......so it looks like I'm related (through marriage, at least) to the Dahmers on both sides of my mother's family.

Larry, On the WVGenWeb page, part of the USGenWeb project, there may be some useful information for you. The address is: www.rootsweb.com/~wvgenweb/ When you get there, select Pendleton County out of the county listing. The 1810, 1850, and 1910 Census Records are available. I am new to this research business, and since I work full-time, I've had to do most of my searching via the Internet. I need to go to the library here in Franklin and look through Morton's books, as well as "The Hammers and Allied Families", which I have seen before and believe to have some good information. Also on the above website, there is a section on Pioneer Family Sketches which might be useful, also. There are only a few sketches available at the present time, but maybe some of those may help you.

I am related to the Arbogasts. Let me know some of the names and I'll see if I have anything. My great-grandparents were Arbogasts and I have a lot of Arbogast ancestors from Pendleton Co. Jennifer

Jennifer, My ancestor, Catherine Arbogast who married John A. Cook Jr. was the daughter of George Arbogast & Catherine Yeager (1769-1848. Do you know this family? I've yet to find who George Arbogast's parents were. I would appreciate any help you could give.

Hi, Does anyone know if there is more records from the "Peaked Mountain Church" than what was transposed and posted on <ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/rockingham/churches/peakmtn.txt> ?? If so does anyone know where to get them, or look at them? I'm trying to establish documentation on Charles Hedrick b. Abt. 1742 and founder of the Hedrick clan in Pendleton County. Thanks.. Neil Hedrick

Good Morning list, I've JUST discovered several more families in my tree that were from Pendleton, and invite anyone else researching them to contact me so we can exchange info. The families are: Johnson, Pennington, Bennett, Pritchard (WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW MORE ON THIS FAMILY), Arbogast, Cook, Yeager, Somer, and other allied families. Hope to hear from some of you fine folks soon! THE VAN KIRK FAMILY _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com

Can anyone tell me what is available to me as far as internet sites there in Pendleton to search for data? I'm questioning some of my findings on the Mormon site - dates and sometimes gender don't seem to jive. What sites are there in the heartland that would be available? Thanks a lot...

Prodigy.com addresses are from the old Prodigy Classic service, which goes out of business October 1st. (Prodigy has said that Classic is not Y2K compliant, and not worth making so, so they are getting rid of it.) Prodigy.net addresses are from the Prodigy Internet service, which will continue. Any list subscribers, query submitters, etc. you have with prodigy.com addresses *should* be sending you new addresses, but you might want to drop them a line and remind them before October. If they don't, be aware that any addresses you have from prodigy.com will stop working at that point.

Responding to messages from a while back, an extensive article on Col. Jesse Hinkle, his marriage, and his liason with Catharine Harper, was published by Mary Harter in Volume 17 the "Henckel Genealogical Bulletin" (1986) and is available from me. Their children appear as both Harpers and Hinkles in the records and information on each of these 11 children is included in the article. Jesse's only child by his only wife Charlotte Hively was Israel. Mary's article discusses the controversies among the early Hinkle historians to make Jesse's children all legitimate. She also furnishes a full transcript of the information which was edited in The Henckel Genealogy in order that the family appear "socially correct." Except for Israel, his other children appear variously in records as both Harper and Hinkle and were born before and after his marriage to Charlotte Hively. We have just too many Jesse Hinkles and Jesse Harpers in Pendleton County. Marsha Fuller the Harper Historian and I have spent several years trying to sort these out and not been terribly successful. Mary Harter does not include a son with ? Ingle and we have nothing beyond the mention in The Henckel Genealogy that such a liason occured. Considering the inaccuracies in this book for his other children, it would not seem to be a very reliable source on any of this family. Mary Harter identified a son Jesse Hinkle as the man named Jesse Hinkle who married Elizabeth Pierce in Pendleton County on 14 Jan. 1831 (Pend Co Reg. of Marriages 1800, page 24.) This couple as Jesse and Elizabeth Harper deeded her interests in the Pierce land. They moved to Iowa prior to 1850. The name flip-flop and their association with his Harper/Hinkle siblings in Iowa indicate that this placement is probably correct. This younger Jesse was born prior to Col. Jesse's marriage to Charlotte Hively 27 Aug. 1818 (Pend. Co. Reg. of Marriages 1800, page 10). Now, the Jesse who married (1) Mary Eve Bible. The Pend. Co. death record of this Jesse does not give his parents. His marriage record on 7 June 1870 (Pend Co Reg of Marriages 1853, page 18) to the widow Emma J. Pennington, gives his age as 48 and his parents as Col. Jesse Hinkle, mother not named. By the time the 1870 census is taken a couple of months later he as added 4 years to his age and become 52! Either way, he was born ca. 1818-1822, and several years after the Jesse above who married in 1831. The earlier of this age range is probably correct since he married Mary Eve Bible 3 Jan 1837 (Reg. of Marriages 1800, page 44). In 1850 he was 31 and in 1860 aged 41 (born ca. 1819) and was 9 years younger than his wife! Who was the mother of this Jesse? We may never know. Noting the dates here is interesting. Jesse married Charlotte Hively 27 August 1818 and their only known child Israel was born 28 June 1819 according to his tombstone. (Pend Co. Grave Register 1977, page 11--Henckel Gen. has the wrong date.) Then we have another son Jesse born about this same time, or at least soon enough that he married in 1837. And Rachel Harper/Hinkle, probably another daugher, married in 1937 Wellington Holland and appears as aged 32 in the 1850 census, thus born ca. 1818. Perhaps there were 3 different females involved!

Larry Shreve, Was the Ethel Hill you mentioned a relative of the George Hill who married Emily Carolina Shreve? I have been unable to extend my Hill line any further than George and any bit of info. would be helpful. Thanks so much for your message. It gives me hope I can discover more about these families.

Diane, I really didn't know my great-aunt Ethel Hill but I know her daughter is still alive. I'll attempt to see if I can get her name but I'm concentrating on finding those Shreve's. Again, I have a copy of the document for Daniel Young Shreve for application for pension from the Civil War in which he described himself as having dark hair and eyes and in addition he described himself as dark skinned. With the rumors I've always heard, I can only think this somewhat enhances the idea of the blood being in there somewhere. What I found interesting is that Lucinda Weese was not on my records originally - she seemed hard to find. I don't know but right now I think either she is the link or Daniel had more than one wife. Only a guess. I think I need to get more info on Lucinda. Expecting to hear more about the Shreve link, and thanks...... Larry James Shreve

Going by this information, would the Leonard Sr. be the Leonard who married Mary A. ? If so then his children were Leonard, Henry, William, George and Elizabeth. Again, if this is the right Leonard, he arrived on the Ship "Janet" in Philadelphia on Oct. 7, 1751. As I have mentioned in other e-mails, I received this information from the "Journal of The Allegheny Regional Ancestors, Volume 4, Issue 3, Simmons" This information can be seen at http://www.swcp/~dhickman/notes/simon.html This is just my question, not fact, but if this is the same Leonard Sr, he would be the one listed as coming to Augusta County, VA in 1753 with Nicholas Simon. Could the Nicholas Simon be his father? And could he be the Johann Nicholas Simon who married Anna Margaretha? (Not Marie Margaretha). If these questions could be answered, and if they are correct this would prove that our Simmons line came from Germany. I do know that my Leonard Simmons (m. Mary Vandale) was known to speak German often. (noted from my family bible) Remember, these are just questions, I am not one to just suppose these are my ancestors, I need proof. I just thought it would be interesting to see what others thought, or if you guys could prove any of this right or wrong. Leslie Ray
