Hi: I am looking for ancestors and siblings of Jacob Crites (born about 1803 in VA) who married Lucinda Gillette (born about 1802 in MA). They were married May 9, 1820 in Lewis County. Kiddy

I thought it about time that I posted my surnames again. Its been awhile. DuSauchoy,Gatton,Grubbs,Hardin,Harvey,Head,Henley,Hogue,Lloyd,McDaniel,Marr,Pa nko,Schneider,Waters,Watts,Watkins,Rossignal,Nagtegal. Any connections or questions welcome, Betty

Yes I have been looking at that.  The best I can tell a group of the Dutch Colonist moved from NY and NJ about the same time period which relates roughly to when The Brits took over New Netherlands and Called it New York.  The questions I am working on is Who moved when. There were several Exodus'.  From Holland, Denmark, Germany, Etc to New Netherlands.  Then a smaller migration of some, not all to New Jersey area.  Then there is a mass exodus from both NJ and NY to the Potomac River Valley area or Tygert Valley area.  Some went to one first then to the other, more often from the South Branch of the Potomac to Tygert Valley/Beverly area.  Now there was another exodus with Samuel Pringle to Buckhannon and Hackers Creek areas.  And from there, to Westward Ho!  Some populated the Ohio Valley, some south to Kentucky, and some North to Indiana/Illinois.  Many stayed in WV, but more towards Huntington and Charleston.

This article appeared a few minutes ago on another list. I thought it important enough to pass along to you. Please pass along to others. ------------------------------------------------------- The following article is from Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter and is copyright 1998 by Richard W. Eastman and Ancestry, Inc. It is re-published here with the permission of the author. == - Congress Passes Bill Detrimental to Genealogists The U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate have been working for a while on a bill designed to extend the term of copyright protection by 20 years. H.R. 2589, the House version of copyright term extension and now named, "The Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act," was adopted by the full House or Representatives on March 25, 1998. The bill was sent to the Senate, where it languished for some time. In September the Senate passed a slightly different bill. The two bodies then worked out a compromise document. The House and the Senate passed S. 505 on October 7, 1998. President Clinton signed the bill on October 27, 1998. Per our Constitution, our government, "to promote the science and useful arts" ... secures "for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries." This balances the right of a person to make a profit, with the right of the people to the work (so they can freely make derivative works). Until 1979, the copyright term was 56 years: one 28 year term, extendible for an additional 28 years. Hence, in 1978 all works created in or before 1922 were in the public domain. In 1979, Congress RETROACTIVELY extended copyright terms 19 years, so that the material from 1923 has never entered the public domain. Now, 19 years later, at the urging of the Walt Disney Company, the Gershwin heirs, and many others concerned with their rights to keep exclusive ownership of intellectual property, Congress has RETROACTIVELY extended copyright terms another 20 years, to 95 years. This means that materials written in 1923, which would have entered the public domain on Jan. 1, 1999, will now enter the public domain on Jan 1, 2019. Materials written in 1924 will now enter the public domain on Jan. 1, 2020. And that, sir, is only if Congress does not retroactively extend the term a third time. What impact does this have on genealogists? We all want information. In this day and age, information usually is found online or on CD-ROM disks. Yet the people who produce those online databases and CD-ROM disks are now prohibited from reproducing materials printed after 1922. Newspapers after 1922 (obituaries, especially) will now be in copyright for another 20 years. You'll need to wait 20 more years before they can be transcribed and put online for free. Old genealogies, which might be useful if reprinted, cannot be freely reprinted or placed online for an additional 20 years. Historical materials cannot be reprinted or placed online for an additional 20 years. Likewise, obscure works whose copyright status is uncertain or where the heirs cannot be tracked down, cannot be placed online for an additional 20 years. For a much more detailed description of the impact, look at: http://www.public.asu.edu/~dkarjala/ My thanks to Richard J. Yanco for his update on the issue. He was quite helpful in describing the legal language of the bill to me. If you would like to contact Richard, he is at: [email protected] ----------------------- Headers --------------------------------

Here is what I have on Henrick Kortright, b. 1717 in Harlem, NY baptised 22 sep that year. Married Elizabeth Hornbeck, 28 Dec1739, Rochester, NY.  Came to Hampshire County after that and died in Moorefield, WV.  I did not have a date for his death.  You dates make since.  I do not believe he came over as soon as his sons Benhamin and John.  Hendrick's parents were Pieter Hendricksen Kortright and Marytjen "Mary" Van Garden.  Do you know where Pieter was from and anything at all about the Van Garden Family? >  I know that When Sam Pringle came oout > > of the woods and back to that community on the South Branch he talked > > John Cutright and others to come with him.  He also came back a married > > man, married to Charity Cutight. > >    Some notes I have about this family lead me two directions.  I have > > had John Sr. Cutright > > born 1754, Fairfax VA (?)

Interesting.  I knew about the plot in the Hampton Cemetary.  I have not visited it yet, but will try to soon before it gets too cold.  I am passing through there about Thanksgiving time.  Who else is barried there?  His brother Benjamin?  His wife Rebecca Truby?  Samuel Pringle? I wonder how we can find out about this Fairfax Couthouse.  Is it like a Manor?  Land that is set aside by the Lord to lease to tenant for his own income? > >   Now, some information I have seen states that John's parents were > > Henry and Elizabeth, but I have also seen that Benjamin and Mary > > Catherine (wolfe) Cutright are his parents.  I wish some one could clear > > this up.  Is Ben his Brother or father. > >    Ben was a brother to John Sr. and Charity.   I believe there were also > brothers Abraham and Henry Jr. There are others who do not think so. By the > way, Ben and Mary Catherine had a son named John. He married Deborah > Osborne and the marriage is on record in the Randolph Co Courthouse in > Elkins, WV. Great, I am going to take that and believe that.  I have felt more comfortable with Ben as his Brother, because it seems in the annals that they did most everything together.  Here are the other siblings that I have for John, Benjamin and Charity: Abraham, Peter, Henry H. who married Sarah Hall.  This must be the Henry Jr. you mentioned. I wonder if the H stands for Hendricksen, (Son of Hendrick). I have the children for Bejamin Cutright and Mary Catherine Woolfe: Mary Ann, who married John Pringle, her cousin, son of Samuel Pringle and Charity Cutright. Andrew, who also married his cousin Elizabeth Pringle. Isaac, did not marry as far as I know. Susannah, who also did not marry as far as I know. Abraham Sr. also looks like  bachelor and John, you mentioned above. >  I know that Ben has been stated > > to be one of the early settlers of Beverly, WV with Nicholas Wolfe (Mary > > Christina's Father).  If that is the case, then why would John move back > > to the south branch?  How did Ben get to the Tygert Valley if Henry > > stayed pretty much on the South Branch?  I was also under that > > inclination that John and Ben (as brothers) traveled together with Sam > > Pringle to Buckhannon.  Ben i have as born 1740 in Fairfax? and dying > > 1790 in Upshur.  Please help me with this family, Henry and his children > > and the families they may have married into, ie.

No, I am sure they did not.  If indeed Hendrick passed away before they left, they would have not reason to.  I do not know when their Mother passed away exactly, but I do know she died in Moorefield as well.  I would like to find out where this couple are burried.  I have seen a Cornelius Cutright listed with Hendrick and John in Hardy Co.  do you know who this might be.  In the 1787 tax records, John is listed in both Randolf co. and Hampshire Co. at the same time.  Bejamin is only listed in Randolf co., and Hendrick is not listed as he had already passed on, Rebecca Tuby's Father John and her uncle Christopher were both listed. > >    Also, I thought at one time that there was a Cutright mailing list. > > Is it still out there? >   You can contact Heather Bowers at  [email protected]    for information > about the Cutright e-mail list. Thanks again Don, Jay

Cynthia, I apreciate your response.  I have found out a little since I posted this.  So, let's compare notes.   > <<  Who was Sarah (Vernoy) Hornbeck the daughter  of. > Sarah's Mother was Sarah Vernoy. and her husband was Johannes Wesley Westfall, > (1724-1789)  son of Abel Westfall and Anna Bogard. >> > > Johannes Westfall was the second husband of Sarah Vernoy. He was also a witness > at the probation of her first husbands estate in 1757. I had seen this but did not have the date. Thanks. >>Her first spouse was Jonathan Hornbeck b. 1730 Kingston, s/o Johannes Hornbeck and Orseltje >>Westbrook. I concur on the date, in fact I have Born and Baptised on Feb 1, 1730. >>Jonathan had a brother named Daniel who was b. 1726 and may be (?) the Daniel of the >>coroner's Jury.  In relationship to the Hornbeck family, Daniel was a very frequently used name. I would tend to agree with this too.  A few things I have learned about Daniel: b. Sep 25, 1726, Kingston, Married twice once to a Magdalene and once to a Mary. Dates, Maiden names and places still unknown.  I do know that by one of them he had a sonnamed Solomon Hornbeck that married a Lydia Alkire.  Daniel died about 1778 in Hampshire Co., WV. Hardy was not formed till 1785. > Sarah Vernoy was bpt. 6 Feb 1732 in Rochester, Ulster Co., NY. She's listed in > Hoes Kingston RDC Records book as # 4029. Her parents were Johannes Vernoy b. > 1681 and Jenneken Low/Louw. I had that Sarah's Mother was also Sarah, but no Maiden name, you did me three better with a Maiden name, a Father and a source.  You Win.  Thanks! Jay

Oh no!  I have not linked to the ever present Stalnakers yet but knew it was coming soon.  No offense, I just see their names through out the South branck region with Kuykendall and others. > Can you tell me a little more about your John and Esther Truby- I had thought > my John Truby's > wife was Westfall- but I do recognize there could be more than one of the > little critters running around :-) Thanks for your time, Ginny Ok, here is what I have: Christopher(l) Truby or Drube, b. ca1700/01 came to America on the Britanica on 21 Sep 1731. But I do not have from where.  I do not have to date of their marriage or her maiden name but he married a lady named Mary (Maria) Catherine and had at least two children.  He died 6 Aug 1753. Their children were Christopher Truby (1736-1802) and John Truby(1740-1800). Christopher married SybillaBowman.  I have no further information on them. John however married Esther Westfall, daughter of Colonel Jacob Westfall I (of Fort Westfall) and Judith (Judlike) Hornbeck.  They had at least threee children:  Elizabeth (Eleanor) that married JAcob Stalnaker and had seven children.  I have no dates for these folks.  Jacob being the son of Captain Samuel Stalnaker. I would share these notes with you about Jacob Stalnaker:   "Jacob, another son, came to Tygarts Valley with his sons in 1772. They prempted land in the pioneer way of "tomahawk right." Later these lands were surveyed and grants were signed by Benjamin Harrison, Governor of Virginia.   Jacob Stalnaker, Sr. , built his home on the hill in Beverly, later owned by his great grandson, Daniel Baker, and still known as the Baker home. The house was built of logs taken from the old Westfall fort on the river-bank, but the building has been destroyed and not even a picture remains.   Among those who pushed their way across the Alleghaney mountains in 1772 to the district of West Augusta was Jacob Stalnaker. These settlers located in the beautiful, rich, level Tygarts Valley, comprising 25 or 30 miles along that river."   I have even more info for his father. Anyway, the next child was Rebecca Truby (1752-1858) born in MD.  I am not sure where I got her place of birth.  She was married to John Cutright Sr. 2 Jan 1788 in Harrison Co, VA. Anne Truby married James Westfall Sr.  Esther's Brother.  They were maried Dec 29, 1786. I wish I had more.  Maybe we can help each other out or others off the list will join us on this Journey.

The Westfalls, Cutrights (both ancestors of mine) and Hornbecks all were in Kingston, NY and its surrounds. The Hornbecks and my Kittle ancestors came from Holland. The book Warnaar Hornbeck Descendants by Mrs. Ralph H. Sayre and Duffy C. Hornbeck, Sr. has a lot on the Hornbecks and some on the other families. Barb -----Original Message----- From: J.

Hello, This is my first posting to the list, please let me know if I don't do it right. I am researching the Jacob Weese family of Randolph Co. The first Jacob in Randolph, in his will dated April 15, 1814, names "heirs of daughter Bogart". I have found no other information regarding this daughter. I have seen other researchers who have Bogart as her first name, while I've always thought this was her married named & her first name had been omitted in the will. I had not found the surname Bogart in the area, the closest I found was Bogard. In the 1810 Hampshire County Census there is a Daniel Bogard, living alone, age 16-26. This doesn't answer your questions, but would you please let me know if you find a Bogart/Bogard - Weese connection? Also how do I get on the mailing list for the Hornbeck-D Digest? I have a John M. Hornbeck who married 1. Eunice Daniels, 2. Martha E. Weese, 3. Minnie B. Weese, would appreciate any information on Martha & Minnie. Thank you, Janet Graham Des Moines, IA [email protected]
