Third Generation 
Third Generation 16. Thomas Hollenback III was born about 1790-1800 in , , Virginia and died before 1835.
General Notes: I do not know that Thomas is Thomas' son. He is placed as such because he was in the area where his presumed father lived prior to migrating to IN. By placing him in this tree, I'm hopeful that someone with knowledge about him and his family will contact me.

Children from this marriage were:
+ 89 M i. William Hollenback was born Cal 26 Sep 1826 in , , Ohio, died on 9 Sep 1879 in Frankfort, Clinton Co., Indiana about age 52, and was buried in Clarks Hill, Tippecanoe Co., Indiana.

+ 91 M iii. James Hollenback was born on 13 Dec 1830 in , , Ohio, died on 13 Apr 1916 in Lauramie Twp., Tippecanoe Co., Indiana at age 85, and was buried on 14 Apr 1916 in Stockwell, Tippecanoe Co., Indiana.
17. David Hollenback was born about 1794 in , , Virginia and died in 1855 at Sea about age 61.
Birth Notes: I found a middle initial used only once. It could have been an L or an S. I chose L based on the designation for many males in that same census as CL or CS. Only CL makes any sense to me, as I believe it was used to mean "common labor".
Death Notes: This is based on the sale of Hollenback land by his daughter, stating heir of father David Hollenback, Dec'd.
An affidavit by David Hollenback, Jr. in a lawsuit states his father died at sea on his way back to IN. A ship's record leaving Australia and headed to Liverpool is dated May 1855.
General Notes: Caroline & Lewis are definitely children of David. Caroline's deed in 1859 states she's selling as an heir of her father David and her brother Lewis.
David gave the middle name Noble to two of his sons. Was that his mother's maiden name?
Noted events in his life were:

Witnesses: Jared Rumler and John Bourent??
On the 28 Mar 1838 the grantors above appeared before the Justice of the Peace for the said County and acknowledged the signing and sealing of the same. It states that the wives were examined separately and acknowledged signing of their own free will. Signed John Boudrent, J. P.
"Received for Record February 12, 1851, and recorded March 3, 1851, at 2 P.M. by James H. Reed, Recorder Sullivan Co., IN
The above deed appears to have been Recorded February 2, 1836 in Deed Book C page 275. Said Deed Book was destroyed by fire on the night of the 7 February 1850."
The same piece of land sold to John Poston in 1833 was sold by John Poston and his wife Harriet to John Boudrinot for $400, originally dated 16 Jun 1845, and recorded 8 Oct 1845. By that time both parties lived in Vigo Co., IN. The original deed, destroyed by fire, was replaced on 10 Feb 1851 and recorded 4 Mar 1851 in Book 8, pgs 582-83.
This cannot be John Poston, son of Jane Hollenback, as he was not yet born on the date of the original purchase in 1833. These are heirs of Charles Poston and is not Hollenback land.

HOLLENBACK W 18 RED JACKET APR 1855 LIVERPOOL MAY 1855 008
Red Jacket was a clipper ship, one of the largest and fastest ever built. She was also the first ship of the White Star Line company She was named after Sagoyewatha , a famous Seneca Indian chief, called "Red Jacket" by settlers. She was designed by Samuel Hartt Pook , built by George Thomas in Rockland, Maine , and launched in 1853.
On her first voyage, Red Jacket set the speed record for sailing ships crossing the Atlantic by traveling from New York to Liverpool in 13 days, 1 hour, 25 minutes, dock to dock.
At Liverpool she had her bottom coppered and cabins fitted out for the Australian immigrant trade.
Red Jacket was purchased by Pilkington & Wilcox and other Liverpool investors with registry changing on April 24, 1854. (Most secondary sources say that the vessel was bought by the British a year later, copying a mistake made by earlier historians.) She was then chartered by the White Star Line for a run to Melbourne , Australia. Under Captain Samuel Reid (who owned 1/16 of her), she reached in Melbourne in 69 days. Only one clipper, James Baines , ever made the run faster.
Red Jacket served in the immigrant trade until 1861, when she became an Australian and Indian coastal freighter.
David married Anna E. Poston, daughter of Charles Poston, about 1823 in , , Indiana. Anna was born Cal 14 Sep 1807, died on 5 Jul 1841 in , Sullivan Co., Indiana about age 33, and was buried after 5 Jul 1841 in , Sullivan Co., Indiana.45

18. William H. Hollenback Sr. was born in 1794-1810 in , , Ohio and died before 1845.
Birth Notes: I've never found a census listing for William Hollenback. If he lived with his father, he could have been b between 1794-1810. He bought land in 1825.
Death Notes: This is a guess based on the Partition of Thomas Hollenback's land after his death. Map A of the Partition Record is dated August 1845. No parcel is designated for William.
General Notes: We aren't sure about this information for William H. Hollenback. On the partition record for Thomas Hollenback there is a parcel set aside for Lewis & David Hollenback, Jr.. There is a Lewis Hollenback buried in the Hollenback cemetery who d in 1847, age 19.

I don't know if it's the same family, but I know there is a Hollenback auto dealership of some sort in Decatur, IL. I've called, but my calls were never returned.

Taken from Dr. Maple's Scrapbook and read on microfilm at the Terre Haute library. Originally printed in The Sullivan Union, June 15, 1939

"The immediate country surrounding the Hollenback and Webb cemeteries was the center of the territory in Gill township, from which the majority of the "Argonauts" of the gold rush of 1849 lived when they left this township for this trip. Among some of those who left for the gold fields of California at this time were William H. Hollenback and his brother, David T. Hollenback, Jr., both sons of William H. Hollenback, Sr., and grandsons of Thomas Hollenback and Patsy Hollenback;
Of the 15 above named, all later returned to Gill township, except Augustine Clerk, who died while in California, John S. Copeland, who later died there; and David T. Hollenback, Jr., who left California and went to the Western Australia gold country in the rush to that region in about 1870, in which latter country he remained until about 1902 or 1903, when he returned to Sullivan county, bringing with him his married daughter and her two small girls, about 8 and 10 years old. His son-in-law did not return with him. While here, his daughter's husband, living in Australia, became ill and she returned to that country ahead of her father, who followed her and his two granddaughters a year or two later, or shortly after 1904. He lived there for several years upon his return to Australia, where he died in about 1910 or 1912, at a very advanced age, and is buried in Australia.
Of the other 12 who did return to Gill township, all are buried in cemeteries in that township. Henry B. Milam and John T. Milam, at the Milam cemetery, Joshua Sinex and William Sinex at the Webb, William H. Hollenback, at the Hollenback; [list continues]
A whole volume could be written about the experiences of these 15 men who made this eventful trip. They went first to St. Joseph, Mo. From there they followed the old Santa Fe Indian trail until they reached southern California, thence northward up the San Joaquin valley, in that state, until they reached the gold fields."
There's more than one problem with the above. There is a William Hollenback listed in the HH of David in 1850, age 13. He was too young to go to CA, and they weren't back by 1850. Yet, this seems to be the William who served in the Civil War. Cynthia Armstrong nursed him in his last illness and stated he was her brother. In a deed conveyed she also stated David was her father.
I find no other William Hollenback in Sullivan county in 1850 or beyond the right age for the gold rush or the Civil War.
David who went to CA then to Australia may be the David listed here and not David the son of David Sr. as I've recorded. William H. and David T. listed above may have been first cousins and not brothers.
My current belief is they didn't exist.
Noted events in his life were:
1. Deed: 1 Jun 1825, , Sullivan Co., Indiana. Certificate 1929
David Hollenback and William Hollenback, assignees of Stephen Campbell, purchased as tenants in common NE 1/4 Section 2 T6N R10W containing 59.04 acres on 1 Jun 1825
Certificate 1930
David Hollenback and William Hollenback as assignees of John Campbell purchased the NW 1/4 of Section 1, T6N R10W containing 55.52 acres on 1 Jun 1825
Both of these parcels were recorded on 2 May 1859
This may have been a 2nd recording after the Courthouse fire of 1850.
2. Other: Bond, 26 Sep 1831, , Sullivan Co., Indiana. Preface to the William Hollenback Bond
Sullivan County Historical Society Newsletter
Volume 7 No. 4 July 1980 Whole No. 36, Page #3
"Page four is a copy of a $500.00 bond made in 1831 by a William Hollenbeck in favor of James Hull. If William Hollenbeck cannot, within two years, give a good, clear deed to James Hull for the tract of land in Licking County, Ohio, part of the estate of Thomas Hollenbeck, deceased, the bond is null and void. If Hollenbeck does not provide a good deed then he apparently forfeits the $500.00 to Hull.
Note that Hollenbeck's signature has been carefully cut out of the document. Perhaps he did that after he furnished the deed. I don't know. Also note the words that have a double 's' like assigns, less and witness. The first 's' is stroked well above and below the line. Printed type of that day made the first 's' look like an 'f'.
Since our courthouse records prior to 1850 were destroyed by fire, we are happy to find information contained here. Licking County records have also been accidentally lost. This bond indicates that William Hollenbeck was probably a son (at least an heir) of Thomas Hollenbeck and that they were from Licking County, Ohio, but William was here by 1831. It is a clue for further research if someone was hit with a blank wall. Some members may recognize a witness as a g-g-g- grandfather and know that John H. Eaton and Epenetus Webb were here then. Some have thought the name is John Heaton but the gentleman had a habit of writing his middle initial so close to his last name that it made it confusing."
Page #4
See copy of actual William Hollenbeck Bond.
This bond is for the sum of $500.00 given to James Hull to guarantee a good deed to land in Licking Co., OH, known as Lot 3, land of Thomas Hollenback, deceased, containing 152.25 acres, on or before 01 November 1833.
Witnesses were John H. Eaton and Epenetus Webb.
Thomas [Jr.] inherited Lot 3 in Licking Co., OH when his father Thomas' land there was partitioned. I cannot find a sale from Thomas & Martha, his wife, to anyone. He must have sold or given this land to his son William. In tracing James Hull, I found him in the 1840 census in Sullivan Co., IN; in 1850 James Hull 52 b PA, wife Sophia 50 b IN along with 4 children are in Boone Co., IA.
On 8 Feb 1834 James Hull and Sophia his wife of Carlisle, Sullivan Co., IN and John VanFossin of Licking Co., OH for the sum of $400.00 sell real estate in Licking Co., OH parcel known and described as lot number three [3] in Range fourteen Township Section three in a tract belonging to Thomas Hollenback deceased containing one hundred and fifty-two and one fourth acres ....

Children from this marriage were:

Death Notes: This is the last date the doctor listed in his bill for her care after her death.
General Notes: In the 1847 partition records of the estate of Thomas Hollenback, Sarah is listed as Sarah Rogers of Vigo Co. Records exist showing that Lewis Rogers married first to Sarah Chenoweth in Ross Co., OH, who died ...
Rogers Sarah Inscription: Age 40yrs, 10 mo, 14dys. Wife of Lewis
Rogers Lewis d 6 Mar 1838 Cal 2 Feb 1780 [Lyons Cemetery]
Sarah Rogers is listed as head of household on the 1840 census in Vigo Co., IN. I have not found a marriage record for Sarah Hollenback to Lewis Rogers, or to any other Rogers. I selected Lewis because he was a head of household in 1830 and was not listed in 1840. The other male Rogers of 1830 were listed in 1840. The page where Sarah is listed in 1840 has many of the same neighbors as the 1830 listing. I have found neither a marriage record, death record or burial for Sarah Hollenback Rogers. The name of her spouse does not appear in the estate records of Thomas Hollenback. She is listed only as Sarah Rogers of Vigo Co., IN.

Nancy also owned two parcels of her father's land in Sullivan county for which we have no sales. We do not know when Nancy died, but she disappeared from the census between 1850-1860.

She came with her father to Gill township, Sullivan county, Indiana, in the fall of 1816, where she continued to make her home until 1893 when she came with her son, W. H. Poston, to Sullivan, Indiana. She was married to James Poston in 1833 and to this union was born eight children, six sons and two daughters, all of whom have preceded her to the Great Beyond except John L.

Buried in Webb Cemetery
Burial Notes: Webb Cemetery
The Webb cemetery is located on Gill's Prairie, in Gill Township, about 1 ½ miles southeast of the present Rose Chapel church and about 3 ½ miles south of New Lebanon, Indiana. It is on the northeast side of a county road, running in a general direction from the northwest to the southeast, and fronts to the southwest, with a magnificent view over a wide expanse of level prairie land. The cemetery itself being on a ridge of land running parallel with the road and overlooking the level land below. The survey location is near the northwest corner of the northeast ¼ of the southwest ¼ of Section 1, Town 6 North, Range 10 West, in the above named township and county. The land upon which the cemetery is situated was entered from the Government by John Wallace, the first surveyor of Sullivan county, on February 4th, 1816, and by him conveyed a few years later to Jonathan Webb, a native of New York State, who came to this location of Gill's Prairie in about 1818 from the State of Kentucky. Jonathan Webb fenced off the ground for this cemetery after he acquired the land from John Wallace, and since that time it has always been known as the Webb Cemetery.
General Notes: "The part upon which the [Hollenback] cemetery was located going to his [Thomas'] daughter, Jane Hollenback, who married for her first husband James Poston and for her second Husband James Madison Mason [sic]. By her first marriage she was the mother of the late William H. and James Poston, and by her second, the mother of Mesha Mason. On Feb. 11, 1876, Jane Hollenback Mason and her second husband, James M. Mason, conveyed to William Hollenback, James Poston and Mesha Mason, trustees, for $2.00, the 35 /100 of an acre of land described by metes and bounds, as surveyed by A.F. Estabrook, upon which this cemetery was located, to be by them in trust held and maintained, and their successors in office, held and maintained, as a cemetery of public burying ground."

Despite the history above, based on the census data and the date of Jane's marriage to James Madison Mason, I have added children different from this history. It's possible that the older Poston children belonged to a previous wife, but doubtful. The wife of Mesha Mason, listed in the history above, is the oldest Poston child, Martha Ann. My best guess at this time is that only the three children listed above were still alive, or mentally capable, by the 1876 transfer, which must have included her son-in-law as well as her daughter. [Jan 2007]
Jane's obituary says she had 6 Mason sone and 2 Mason daughters. We are missing one of each. Two sons were the only children living when she died: John L. Poston of Palestine, IL and W. H. Poston of Sullivan. Based on the 1840 census there was one more son born prior to 1840.

Also 30 acres off the NE quarter of Section 3 T6N R10W. [this is more fully described in the deed, and probably adjoins the land sold in Sec 34. This portion would lie south of section 34.]
James Poston died intestate. At a Probate court on 1 Nov 1849 on the petition of Anthony Mason the administrator of said James Poston, representing that the personal estate of the said deceased was insufficient to pay his debts, and praying the Court for an order to sell the real estate of deceased. The court being satisfied that all the heirs, Martha Poston, John Poston, Thomas Poston, James Poston, William A. Poston, and Charles Poston had been duly notified gave an order for an appraisement and private sale of said lands.
This order was continued more than once until at February term 1851 Court ordered a reappraisement and said real estate should be sold at public auction. The auction was held on 21 March 1851. The land was sold to Aaron Morris for $150. Aaron Morris assigned his interest in this land to Jane Poston. The Court then appointed Hiram Hanchett Commissioner at the May term of 1852.

A judgment was rendered against David Hollenback, Jr. Jane Mason later conveyed this piece of real estate to William H. Poston, her son. Subsequent to this real estate transfer, Jane Mason died.
David Hollenback, Jr., although considered a U.S. citizen and resident of Indiana, lived continuously in Australia from the date of the original suit in 1885 until 25 Mar 1903. He was attempting to have the judgment set aside based on the fact that he had never received notice.

In 1863 Daniel bought lots 13 and 14 and in 1864, he purchased lot 12 in the town of Minonk. These lots are situated to the west of his first purchase and his great-granddaughter, Mrs. Elsie Kerrick Knapp and her husband, Jacob M. Knapp, have for several years been the happy possessors of a home on lots 12 and 13. Their abstract of title to this property, it may be of interest to know, shows Mr. Hollenback received his deeds to the property from the Associate Land company, a corporation established under the statutes of the State of Connecticut. The expressed consideration for lots 13 and 14 was $120 and for lot 12 was $78. These deeds were acknowledged before a notary public of the county of Suffolk in the State of Massachusetts. To show the increase in the value of these lots at the time of her great-grandfather's death, Mrs. Knapp said the inventory filed April 6, 1868, listed the value of lots 13 and 14 at $500 and lot 12 at $250.

It states that the Executor of his estate, Anthony Mason, stated the sale of real estate was necessary as James' personal estate was not large enough to cover his debts. On 14 Nov 1849 the Sullivan Co. Probate Court authorized the sale of as much real estate as needed to cover his debts. …."all the heirs of said decedent to wit: Masha Poston, James Poston, John Poston, Thomas Poston, Charles Poston, and Madison H. Poston had been notified…" Anthony Mason at a court held on 12 Feb 1850 reported to the Court he had arranged private sale for this property to Joseph Hannah for the sum of $32.00, which was approved by the said Court. Henry K. Wilson, Clerk of Court, sold this parcel of James Poston, dec'd.

Hiram S. Hanchett, commissioner appointed by the Probate Court to Jane Poston, land belonging to James Poston, deceased, who owned a tract of land in his own right known as ?? 4 in T7N R10W containing 30.5 acres and also 30 acres off the NE quarter of Section 3 T6N R10W. [these are more fully described in the deed]
James Poston died intestate. At a Probate court on 1 Nov 1849 on the petition of Anthony Mason the administrator of said James Poston, representing that the personal estate of the said deceased was insufficient to pay his debts, and praying the Court for an order to sell the real estate of deceased. The court being satisfied that all the heirs, Martha Poston, John Poston, Thomas Poston, James Poston, William A. Poston, and Charles Poston had been duly notified gave an order for an appraisement and private sale of said lands.
This order was continued more than once until at February term 1851 Court ordered a reappraisement and said real estate should be sold at public auction. The auction was held on 21 March 1851. The land was sold to Aaron Morris for $150. Aaron Morris assigned his interest in this land to Jane Poston. The Court then appointed Hiram Hanchett Commissioner at the May term of 1852. Hanchett was ordered to execute a deed to Jane Poston.
This deed was signed by Hiram S. Hanchett, Commissioner and recorded on 12 Aug 1852.
In addtion to the data from the probate records above, James Poston's heirs also sold land in Greene Co., IN. They sold an undivided two-fifths interest in the NE qtr of NE qtr Section 32 T8N $7W. This land was originally purchased by Thomas Hollenback in 1839.
At a Probate Court hearing in Sullivan Co., IN on 14 Nov 1849, Anthony Mason, Administrator stated that the personal estate of James Poston would not cover his debts, and asked to sell real estate. He paid required bond and permission was granted. The highest and best bidder was Joseph Hanna who paid above appraised value for it.
At Probate Court in Sullivan Co., IN on 12 Feb 1850 the Court appointed Henry R. Wilson as Commissioner to execute a deed for this land. The deed lists James Poston's heirs as Marsha Poston, James Poston, John Poston, Thomas W. Poston, Charles Poston and Madison H. Poston.
The consideration paid for the undivided 2/5 was $32.00, receipt thereof acknowledged. This deed was dated 24 Feb 1850 and recorded 21 Mar 1850 at 4 p.m.

An Inventory of the real estate of James Poston, late of Sullivan County, Deceased, taken by Anthony Mason Adm. With the assistance of Jesse Hadden & Aaron W. Springer [can't read] & duly sworn to follows to wit:

being 109.03/100 acres off the South side of the SE qr of Sec 35 and the SW qr of Sec 36 in Township seven North of Range 10W in said County we appraise the land at $275.00
[My note: Lot 1 was assigned to William, Abba, & James Hollenback - the children of Thomas' son Thomas, dec'd. and Lot 2 was assigned to Nancy Hollenback.]
We appraised the SW qr of the NE qr of Section 20 in T7N R10W, 40 acres - $65.00 [This lot was assigned to the children of Thomas III]
5 acres off the East side of the SE qr of the NW qr of same Section, 25 Ac - $75.00

A list of vouchers filed by Anthony Mason, Admn, James Poston Dec'd on the 14 May 1850??
This list is numbered 1-21 and appear to be debts owed or expenses incurred .
Now I wonder why there was no appraisal for all the other parcels of real estate sold, and what was sold.
Six parcels of real estate were sold in the list I have totaling $728.16.
Final account shows he collected $1594.29 and disbursed $1633.21, thus the estate owed him 38.92
Anthony Mason declared the Estate of James Poston settled with the exception of appointing a commissioner to execute a conveyance of land to Joshua Bricky and the Admn discharged.

In Daniel's Bible there is a marriage showing Sarah Lawrance (formerly Hollenback) married to Daniel [missing] on Sept 8th 1814. Also recorded in the Bible of Daniel Hollenback is the birth of Mary Ann Lawrance.
Mary Ann Lawrance m Laton Rader. This is a quote from an interview he gave in Ohio when he was in his 65th year:
"I was born October 31, 1811, consequently I am in my 65th year. My wife was born December 13, 1815, and is in her 59th year. She is a native of Hampshire county, VA.
Her mother's name was Sarah Hollenbeck."
Based on the Bible entries, the will of Daniel Hollenback, and this quote, I believe that Mary Ann Lawrance was the daughter of Sarah Hollenback & Daniel Lawrance; and that after Sarah died Daniel married her sister Elizabeth. This isn't proof in the normal sense, but it's my belief at this time.

Virginia, USA Death: Aug. 5, 1881
The Find-A-Grave dates for the birth and death of Abraham Rinehart vary slightly from what was given to me by Roger Roberson, a Rinehart descendant and researcher. The site gives his birth as 13 Dec 1795 and death as 5 Aug 1881. I don't know where either the anonymous donor or Roger Roberson got their information, and I don't know who is correct.
This letter was written Oct 6, 1844 by John Spencer II of near Patterson Creek(Cabin Run) Hampshire County VA to his son Arthur Morrison Spencer who had moved from VA to Doniphan Co., KS . John Spencer II (m)Sarah Ray abt 1791. Arthur M.Spencer was a grandson of John Spencer I and wife Joice who purchased land in Hampshire Co VA in 1778 (d)1796.(Cabin Run & George's Run). Arthur moved to Ross Co., OH 1835, to MO 1846 and to KS Territory March 21, 1851. He had married Katherine Lease (Lees) in VA in 1819. Their children: John Harrison Spencer; Elisha Ashton Spencer; Isaac Spencer; Arthur Spencer Jr; Charitie Spencer and Wm Lambert Spencer.
I will begin with the death of old Sam Cockeral, Jacob Miller, Jacob Fleak, George Weice, both Ben Parker and wife, Isaac Hollenback & his wife, old Mr. Rinehart & his wife. Also your sister, Julyan Miller died about 4 yrs ago and her daughter Sally both within a week. Her husband Pete Miller is married to Betsy Rough, daughter of old George Weice. She was a widow.

From Find A Grave:
Info from Amazon.com--sent by Cindy Rinehart:
"Our ancestor Abraham Rinehart (1796-1881), and his wife Margaret (1799-1877) and their four children, Stephen C. Rinehart, Margaret Johnson Hanks (1823-1884), Elijah (1830-1900) and Enoch (1838-1888) lived in Hampshire county until 1854, when Abraham and his wife moved to Knox County, Missouri. Enoch remained in Hampshire county until he graduated from Romney Classical Institute, after which he joined his parents in Missouri. Stephen and his family also moved to Misouri in 1868, when Abraham Rinehart and his wife deeded to Stephen several hundred acres in Knox County.
Abraham Rinehart preceded his family to Missouri, where in 1854 he purchased from John J. Tayler and wife the future family home for five thousand dollars cash, a small fortune at the time. When he had a home ready, a three story red brick house with connecting slave quarters and a large barn, he returned to Virginia for his wife Continuously since 1854 to the present time, the Abraham Rinehart family and its direct descendents have occupied this house.
On January 12,1869 Abraham and his wife , Margaret conveyed the home site to thier son, Stephen C., who left it to his son Frank Rinehart, who inturn left it to his daughter, Ellis Rinehart Aucutt. The latter's son Billy Aucutt and his family now occupuy the place.
The same pine tree that Margaret [Hollenback] brought with her from Virginia still guards the front of the house.
A fire destroyed the upper half of the third story and the connection to the slave quarters, so the house is now two and a half stories high. Each of the rooms in the house originally had a fireplace. Abraham and his wife in the 1870's also deeded several tracts of land to each of his other three children, Margaret, Elijah and Enoch. Enoch later became an elected official of Knox County, and also had a place in the county seat. Abraham. Stephen, Enoch, Frank and many of their wives and family members are buried in the family cemetery behind the family church, The Eucebia Cumberland Presbrytarian, now used as a non-sectarian place of worship. The family sldo provides at the church site the facilities for and has a boys and girls camp annually. The site of the church was deeded in 1875 by Stephen and his wife to the church, and the area between the church and the road to the east was many years later deeded to the church by Frank Rinehart and his wife. The church is said to have been copied from the Presbrytarian church the family belonged to on Patterson creek Virginia which was active in 1768."

There is the 1836 deed to clear title to George Rinehart's land for his children, naming Ellis; and the lawsuit against the heirs of Daniel Hollenback naming Ellis and Maria. Neither of these documents give the residence of those named but lead us to conclude they were still living or left heirs.
Ellis' younger brother Enoch, according to a history of Carroll Co., IN, emigrated to Lafayette, IN in 1836 [he would have been 16]. From there he went to Monticello, which is in White Co. and by 1839 he settled in Delphi, Carroll Co., IN. In 1845 he went back to Hampshire Co., VA, where he married Elizabeth F. Parker in Springfield, Hampshire Co., VA, and brought her back to Delphi.
Rinehart family researchers have listed the death place of Ellis as Tippecanoe, Indiana for many years. That his younger brother Enoch went to Lafayette, Tippecanoe Co., Indiana as his first stop in 1836 lends support to this belief. Also, an early settler listed for Tippecanoe Co., Indiana is David Randle, the husband of Ann Rinehart, Ellis' sister.
There are other early settlers listed in the Tippecanoe history who came from Hampshire Co., Virginia, including Parker and Sheetz family members.
On the 1840 census there is a listing for Mrs. Rinehart in Tippecanoe Co. and her next door neighbor is Mrs. Curry. There is a male in the Curry houehold the right age to be John P. Curry who appears on the 1850 census with a wife named Maria and a female named Sarah E. Rhinehart and four Curry daughters. [His true middle initial is T.]
Also in my possession is a letter written, I believe, in 1856 with a statement relaying a message of the death of Ellis Rinehart's son Enoch. The message says "some time since", so there's no way to know how long ago Enoch died or where. [found later in the lawsuit]
In 1855 John and Sarah Elizabeth Smith of Cass Co., Indiana sold a 1/7 share of the lands of George Rinehart to Elijah Rinehart. The deed includes this phrase: "John Smith and wife being entitled to the interest aforesaid through and by virtue of the said Sarah E. Smith who was one of the children heirs and legal representatives of the said George Rinehart dec'd, as such being entitled to one undivided seventh part of all the real estate".
Elijah Rinehart, the buyer, was a brother to Ellis Rinehart. It seems plausible to me that he would only purchase part of his father's land from a worthy seller. On the same day Elijah recorded the purchase of this 1/7 of his father's land he also recorded the purchase of another 1/7 from his brother Abraham Rinehart.
There is a marriage record in Cass Co., Indiana for John Smith to Sarah E. Rinehart. Death certificates for their children list their parents as John Z. Smith and Sarah E. Rinehart.
On the 1860 census of Cass Co., Indiana, Hannah Cury is listed in the family of John and Sarah E. Smith. Her age matches Hanna Curry of 1850. The family is living in the same neighborhood as Edmond Hollenback, a cousin to Sarah.
Later Hannah becomes Jennie H. Curry when she marries Madison M. Kneese in Muscatine Co., Iowa. After the death of Madison, Jennie remarried to Henry Jones. On that marriage certificate she lists her parents as John Curry and Maria Hollenbeck, which may be what it says or it may be a transcription error.
Maria Curry married again, unless it's the marriage of her daughter Maria, in Cass Co., Indiana to Joseph Burton. This record appears online twice with two different years, 1855 and 1859. If it was in 1855 it cannot be her daughter.
To date no further record for Maria has been found. Her father's land was sold by the executor, so no deeds exist showing the children's sales of it. The settlement of the estate showing the executor paying out to the inheritants has not been found, not for lack of trying. The final land sales were completed in 1848, the same year John & Maria Curry & Sarah Rinehart sued Enoch Rinehart.
The lawsuit found in Tippecanoe Co. after all of the above was written, proves Sarah Elizabeth is the daughter and was the only surviving child of Ellis & Mariah Hollenback Rinehart by the time of the deed in Hampshire Co., Virginia, selling her share of the George Rinehart real estate.
I also believe Jennie H. Curry is the daughter of Maria Hollenback Rinehart Curry.

Summons was issued to Enoch Rinehart to appear on the first Monday of July next to answer a Bill in Chancery filed against him by John T. Curry, Maria Curry, and Sarah Elizabeth Rinehart by her next friend Edward H. Brackett, and in this he will in no wise fail at his peril.
Dated 2 Jun 1848 and signed Mark Jones, Clerk
Pleas to the Judge in Chancery
About the 1st of November 1838 at County of Tippecanoe in State of Indiana the before named Ellis Rinehart departed this life intestate leaving him surviving your Oratrix Maria who was the wife of said Ellis, and Sarah Elizabeth Rinehart now aged about 10 years, and George Rinehart now deceased, and Enoch Rinehart now deceased, minor children of the said Ellis, the only heirs at law of said Ellis Rinehart, deceased.
At his decease Ellis held Certificates 1090 and 1091 for Canal Company being E ½ of NW ¼ Section 12 in T24N R3W containing 80 acres of land; also the W1/2 of the NW ¼ Section 12 in same Twp & Range containing 80 acres, with a value of about $2500. Purchase price had been paid to within about $300.
Ellis Rinehart at death possessed goods and chattels and notes & accounts in an amount sufficient to pay all debts existing against him. Shortly after his death Enoch Rinehart, who was a brother of said deceased, became Administrator.
Partial Account filed 5 Nov 1840 shows $890.80 received and debts and liabilities of $630.87. In that report he paid the Widow $100.00 her dower interest in estate, also paid the sum of $106.43 due Administrator in his own right, which account was allowed by Court without any proof. This shows a Balance still in Administrator's hands of $267.21. [copy of same inserted.]
In a filing 21 Mar 1842 Administrator filed a petition false & fraudulently to cheat and defraud the heirs at law of Ellis Rinehart, representing it was necessary to pay outstanding debts of deceased to sell said Canal Lands. [copy marked Exhibit B.] The sole reason to file for the sale of land was to enable the Administrator to become the purchaser himself.
He was offered $800.00 for this land, after it was in his own name, and he refused to take the same. Upon learning he could not legally own this land, he advertised on 10 Jul 1842 to sell it at public vendue at the Court House door, which he did, to Charles A. Bowman for $588.00.
Claim is made that Bowman never looked at the land; was taken to the Court House by Defendant; and was told he wouldn't lose anything if he bid on the land. The two were intimate friends. Bowman made no money from the deal. Defendant said to Bowman repeatedly he should pay the Rinehart heirs $600.00 for having made such a fine bargain in buying the land. Bowman has said he did not make the bid for himself, but for benefit of the defendant Rinehart. Rinehart rented the land out and received rents of some $300.
The land Certificates were made out to Bowman so the balance due could be paid to the State of Indiana and legal title could be held for the two tracts of land. On the 15th and 25th of September 1842 the remaining balance of purchase money due on the land was paid by Defendant. [Exhibits E & F]
Bowman and wife, on the 23 Sep 1842 made a conveyance of the two tracts of land to the Defendant in the sum of $588.00, but no such sum was ever paid to Bowman.
Soon after the Administrator's sale of the land, Defendant took possession of the land and exercised acts of ownership, and prior to execution of last named deed, he rented the land and continued to do so until the 5th of January 1846, a period of nearly 4 years and realized a sum of $300.
At the time he stopped receiving the rents, he sold the two tracts of land to John Stranathan and received the sum of $1800.00. A true copy of this deed of conveyance is part of the Bill of Complaint and is attached as Exhibit H.
Enoch Rinehart and George Rinehart, both children of said Ellis Rinehart, deceased, by your Oratrix Maria Curry have both departed this life minors under the age of 21 years, intestate and without issue, leaving as their only heirs at law Maria Curry their mother and Sarah Elizabeth Rinehart, their sister, and as before stated Sarah Elizabeth is about 10 years old. Enoch Rinehart died in the month of February 1846 and George died in the month of June 1846. [the 6 is a blob that may have been converted to a 7.] Whatever interest Maria may have had in the land, if any, was conveyed to said defendant by deed executed by Maria and her husband John T. Curry on the 6th day of October 1842. This was a deed to convey Maria's dower. A copy of this deed is part of this bill of complaint and marked Exhibit I.
This deed was supplied at the Administrator's urgent solicitation, believing the Administrator's sale had been conducted fairly-not then knowing it to have been a mere sham sale. This deed was only to convey Maria's dower interest.
Again the totals of receipts and payments by the Administrator are repeated, this calling to attention Voucher No.30, claimed by defendant in his own right. The said debt was allowed by the Court without any evidence whatever of its being due or owing, and complainants charge it was not due or owing. [This was the $106.43 Enoch Rinehart paid to himself.] Left in his hands was the sum of $267.21 unappropriated together with a large portion of the $898.08 remained in his hands a long time. Said Defendant is chargeable with a sum of $100.00 interest thereon.
No other report was filed until the 9th August 1842 at which time he made a false report of the sale of said tracts of land. [Exhibit J] The Court confirmed the sale. At that time he made his last and final account. Exhibit K
This report showing simply $100.74 arising from the realty and ??? of the Estate in Administrators hands after payment of the debts and charges. The Court discharged the Administrator of all further liability upon the payment thereafter by him made of the said sum of $100.74. Exhibit L.
Complainants state the $267.21 left at the time of the first report was sufficient to pay all debts against deceased except the balance due the State of Indiana on said 2 Canal land certificates. Said Administrator presented accounts due himself for the sum as Administrator of $319.63. Exhibit M
We draw particular attention to the items dated 26th Mar 1839 which defendant credits himself with $99.00 for 66 days gone to Virginia; 2nd $92.40 for expenses to Virginia, making the sum of $191.40 for pretended journey. We complain that defendant made no such journey for the Estate. The Estate had no interest except the collection of a note of $75.00 against Abraham Rinehart who resided in Virginia. Defendant went to Virginia on his own private business. Of the said $75.00 note, defendant accounted to the Court for collection of only $50.00, charging the estate in final report. [Exhibit K] $25.00 as balance of note not collected. Thus the estate was charged $191.40 for the collection of $50.00.
These Complainants also charge the two items in his report of $35.00 for collecting and $20.00 for expenses are both false and fraudulent.
The complaint again states that except for the dishonest acts of the Administrator, this estate could have been settled without the sale of the two tracts of land. The sale was made solely so the Administrator could profit from its purchase.
It further complains of the amount from the sale that was credited to the estate, with the following: Appraisal $888.00; deduct amount due on Certificates $300. leaves $588.00. Two thirds of this is $392. - a difference between this last sum and $288.00. It continues stating the Court accepted and approved an incorrect and false report, allowing Administrator to collect too much for himself and shorting the heirs of $100.74. [See Exhibit K] None of this money has been turned over to any of the heirs of Ellis Rinehart, deceased.

One item surprises me. The original inventory shows Abraham Rinehart owed Ellis $75.00 and was included as an estate asset, and later shows payment of $50.00. In this list $25.00 is listed as an uncollected asset from Abraham Rinehart. Abraham was the brother of both Ellis and Enoch. He had ample assets to be able to pay his entire note.

One comment about the info on Catherine H Allen. My other maternal great grandparents are James W F Allen and his wife, also Caroline. I have never found any connection between JWF Allen and the family who lived (and still does) in the Ft Ashby area. JWF had no brothers and he lived in Moorefield, Hardy County Va/WVa. He was a lawyer who traveled by horseback to the various county seats doing legal work--thus it is possible he is the James W Allen who witnessed a will in Romney in 1840--tho I think he always used all 3 initials.[ Frances Carroll]

Given under our hand this 28th day of January, 1889.
John Johnson Daniel M. Parker J. W. Johnson
In the Clerk's office in the County Court of Mineral County, West Virginia, in the recess of said court.
On this day the foregoing writing bearing date the 28th day of January, 1889, purporting to be the last will and testament of Catharine Allen dec'd late of Mineral County, West Virginia, was presented to the Clerk's Office of the County Court of Mineral County, for probate and record, and was proven by the oaths of D. M. Parker and J. W. Johnson, two of the subscribing witnesses thereto, to have been signed, sealed, acknowledged, published and declared by the said Catharine Allen in their presence as and for her last will and testament, and that they at her request in her presence and in the presence of each other subscribed their names thereto as witnesses, that at the time of so doing, they considered her of sound mind, memory and understanding, and capable of executing same.
James Allen was a Colonel in Virginia Homeguard and served in the House of Delegates from Hampshire County at Richmond: (I verified this) 1839-40, 1847-48, 1848-49, 1852 until his death.
I know that he had a pretty impressive uniform because my father told me how they would play in the attic with the gold braid and epaulets from his uniform.
----------------------------------
In a letter written May 1848:
"James Allen has got home and it is said him and Paty is making preparation to go to [???] Baltimore to the convention. Caroline Wms is there sewing at this time."
----------------------------------
from Marylou Nordberg:
An inquiry made of the Virginia Historical Society brought this reply from John McClure about the Virginia Home Guard:
The federal government passed a law regulating state militia in 1792, but one of the early Virginia units, the Richmond Light Infantry Blues, had formed in 1789. The uniformed, regulated outfits became, essentially, the only continuous military presence in the Old Dominion until the Civil War.
Virginia "was militarily divided into four divisions that were subdivided into twenty-one brigades; the latter were composed of 126 regiments." [Giles Cromwell]
There was a social, and occasionally political, element to the militia units as well -- as indicated by the title of Dr. Kimball's article. Honor, political connections, and camaraderie were all honed by the "manly" gatherings.

James served in the Virginia House of Delegates 1847-1848, 1848-1849, 1852 until January 1853,

One comment about the info on Catherine H Allen. My other maternal great grandparents are James W F Allen and his wife, also Caroline. I have never found any connection between JWF Allen and the family who lived (and still does) in the Ft Ashby area. JWF had no brothers and he lived in Moorefield, Hardy County Va/WVa. He was a lawyer who traveled by horseback to the various county seats doing legal work--thus it is possible he is the James W Allen who witnessed a will in Romney in 1840--tho I think he always used all 3 initials.[ Frances Carroll]
Foote Station was a community in Mineral County , West Virginia , United States , located on Horseshoe Run Road about one mile (1.6 km) from Georges Run Road. The farm house owned by Hampshire County, Virginia Delegate James Allen still stands at Foote Station. Before modern transportation was available, Foote Station was a stagecoach stop and also had a post office.
According to a deed this parcel of land was known as the Burbrige tract.

The property above exception is for the use and benefit of my wife Catherine & family, who are to have free access to the woodland for the use of said property. I further devise that when my debts shall have been paid, my wife Catherine shall be entitled to the use and benefit of all my real estate during her widowhood, or during her natural life in case
she remains a widow; but in the event of her second marriage then she shall be entitled to one third only thereof during her life, & the remaining two thirds to be rented for use and benefit of my children, and the property herein after devised shall be sold and applied as part and parcel of my estate.

My ggrandmother [Caroline] was born July 8, 1824. I don't have her mother's death date but my mother always said she [Caroline] was 'raised by Isaac and Susanna H. [Frances Carroll]
Mary Caroline was 12 when her father died, and only about 3 when her mother died. Based on the 1830 census her half-sister Catherine may have cared for her until Daniel remarried in 1831. When Daniel died, Isaac Hollenback was named as her guardian. Both the billings for her board and the 1840 census indicate Isaac raised her with his daughters until her marriage.
In the billings for Mary Caroline's account, she took a bed of her own with her at her marriage. Not only did she take her own bed, but all her inheritance money was paid to her husband. [LouAnn 2012]
Through the years Mary Caroline received several letters from her cousin Charity Hollenback Rinehart.

He was a native we believe of Hampshire County, and settled in Moorefield many years ago, and by strict attention to business, and integrity in his dealings with men, accumulated a handsome estate. He was gentle and unobtrusive in his manners, firm and decided in his opinions, sound in his judgement and exceedingly kind and obliging in his disposition. He will be missed, sadly missed by a very large class of people, in this county. For many years he was a constant member of M E Church, South, and lived in accordance with his professions and died in the full prospect of the bright realizations of his fondest hopes. His funeral was largely attended. He was in his 69th year.
Elizabeth, #60 married Silas Taylor, son of Daniel and Sarah Larue. Silas was an uncle to Alfred Taylor who married Caroline [dau of Daniel Hollenback and Sarah Ann Roberts, from Frances Carroll]
Silas Taylor was elected as a County Commissioner, and as Sheriff.

The papers filed for Letters of Administration for the estate of Daniel Hollenback list that he died in Minonk, IL on the 13 Jan, 1868.

Belle Plain Township: Peirce Perry, Joseph and Robert Bennington, Daniel Hollenback, Nathan Patton, John Wilson, Forsythe Hattan, David Hester, William Hendricks, Levi Wilcox and William Hester between 1832 and 1844.
from Susannah's will provided by Debra Gordon-Thom:
"the rest of my money and property be equally divided among my children that is to say John, Daniel, Jacob, Harrison Hollenback and Nancy McClelland."
Daniel moved from Hampshire County, VA to Perry Co., Ohio with father & family. Daniel was raised in Perry Co., Ohio.
Daniel, is mentioned in History of Fairfield and Perry Counties, as a pioneer who came to this township prior to 1818. Another son, Jacob Jr., is mentioned in the Perry County, Ohio, Male Index to marriage Records, 1818, - 1914 as having married Eliza M. Thrall (sister to Daniel's wife Martha), in 1832.
Daniel married Martha Thrall left here then moved to Illinois in 1835. He bought tract of land at the head of Crow creek with a log cabin which became the family home. The place was called the Stonier farm on which a barn built by Daniel still stands (as of 1935). Father & sons hunted deer and wolves and supplied the family larder with choice game. [The barn still stands in 2008 (40 55 40N 89 11 5W)].
Daniel moved into town of Minonk, Illinois in 1860 and purchased property where he and his wife spent the rest of their years. Described as, "of sterling character and good abilities, unafraid of hardship and long hours of toil and by thrift, toil and good investment accumulated a good amount of property. Their memory has lived through the century." He was buried in the Hollenback Cemetery on the Stonier Farm.
"The Hollenback Cemetery is located in Linn Township, Woodford County. It is in E 1/2 NE 1/4 Section 2 28 N- 1W (40 55 12N 89 10 43W).
. When the land was sold by Daniel Hollenback in 1860, he sold all the land except one acre for a burial ground, that being in the center of the property. There is no road to the cemetery. It has not been used for a burial for perhaps 80 some odd years and at present it is overgrown, with brush and the fence is almost gone. The stones are mostly laying on the ground, but in most instances are easily read." courtesy Barb Darling
In 1935 at the 100th anniversary of the Hollenback/Kerrick reunion held at Pattonsburg, Illinois, Daniel and Martha were honored. The reunion was in sight of the original land to the west settled by Daniel and Martha Hollenback. Rev. Frank R. Hollenback came from Denver to deliver a complete history of outstanding facts about the Hollenback families.
some excerpts from the newspaper account of the 1935 reunion:
"One of the granddaughters, Miss Mary Ogle, now living in Lacon, tells many interesting stories of the pioneer days and says she remembers well how her grandfather would take some of his grain by wagon clear to the settlement of Chicago, and bring back various articles of clothing and other merchandise, and how, after dark they would pull down all the shades, gather around the kitchen table and watch him pour out a bag of money, count it and then hide it. This was one of the big times in their usually uneventful days."
All info above courtesy Dick Hollenback
from Dorothy Folkerts:
"They first located [in Illinois] at the head of Crow Creek in Marshall county, where he purchased a tract of partly improved land with a log cabin standing on it, which became the home of his family. The land was surrounded by a border grove, that became known as the Hollenback Grove, in Bell Plain township. He sold that tract in 1860 and moved into Minonk where he passed his remaining years. This location is now known as the Stonier timber, and on it still stands the foundation of a barn which Daniel built in about 1842.
The Pattonsburg Methodist church was first organized in July 1839 and met for a time in Daniel Hollenback's barn. Martha, his wife, was one of the organizers and leading member at the time.
Daniel also owned land adjoining to the south which was located in Woodford county and later known as the Nellinger farm. On this piece of land, one acre tract of land was set aside as a burial ground and is known as the Hollenback cemetery. Many of the Hollenback family members were buried there. There is no road leading to it and can be seen from the road as it sits on a hill in a field. It is now overgrown and stones are in a sad condition. At one time a fence surrounded it, but it is now mostly gone.
When Daniel and Martha moved into Minonk in 1860, he owned Lots 4, 5, 12, 13 and 14 in Block 22. Martha died in Minonk and was buried in the Hollenback cemetery near Pattonsburg."

"A little gathering together of the decendents of three of the Thralls sisters--namely, Ellenor, Martha and Eliza--was an event long to be remembered by all who were in attendance at the family reunion, given August 31st, in Hollenback's grove near Pattonsburg. It also being the occasion of a fourth sister's [Miss Sophia Thralls] 72 birthday. The old Thralls homestead is in Rehoboth, Ohio. Aunt Sophia is this summer making a first visit to her many relatives in Illinois.
Ellenor Thralls was married early in life to Joseph Babb, who in 1831? migrated with their family of six children, to Illinois, entering and settling on a large tract of land three miles south of Lacon.
Martha Thralls was married to Daniel Hollenback, in Ohio. In 1835, came to Illinois, with a family of eight children, entered land extensively, and settled on a large farm near the head of Crow Creek.
Eliza Thralls married Jacob Hollenback, lived in Ohio until about 12 years ago, when they came to Illinois, with their three daughters and their families--all settling in the locality of Minonk.
The descendents of these three sisters, consists of four generations, and numbers about 175 members. Nearly one hundred of these all met to gather for the first time on that lovely day the last one of August, many of them clasping hands for the first time--yet all living within a radious of twenty miles. The picnic, or reunion was in every way pleasant; a large speakers stand was prepared, also well arranged seats--ample to accomodate twice the number in attendance, an attractive little boothe at which ice cream and confections were literally demolished, a large rope swing to amuse the children, croquet for the larger ones.
Miss Perry accompanied with a melodious organ, some excellent songs by the glee club, after which tables were made of the ??? and a sociable family dinner partaken of. The unusual and superior excellency of the cakes, fruits, and general provisions was convincing proof that this little assembly of relatives could boast some rare cooks. It was certainly more like a wedding feast than an every day picnic dinner.
After the numerous baskets of fragments were taken up and table clothes shaken, the assembly was called to order by Mr. Geo. Hollenback--president of the day--Father Kerrick made an able prayer, which was followed by the Glee Club singing, "Home Sweet Home". Father Kerrick then addressed the company, his thoughts running in the channel of early times, and the progress, and many changes since the settlement of Daniel Hollenback in the locality of Pattonsburg.
Another song by the glee club. Mrs. Ann Bullman of Lacon then came to the front, and gave one of her instructive little speeches, also, touching on what she knew of the relatives, from their first trials and pleasures in Illinois, up to the present day.
Another son, Mr. R. Hester, of Pattonsburg was next introduced, and gave a pleasant little talk which was enthusiastically received.
Mrs. Geo. Blackstone, of Lacon, then made a next little speech, telling about her early recollections and first visits among the Hollenback relatives. Also, touching on politics, woman's rights, etc.
A motion was carried to continue this pleasant family reunion from year to year. After which the glee club closed the exercises of the day with "Auld Lang Sine" [each song having been selected by, and sung at the request of Aunt Sophia.] Social intercourse was enjoyed for a little while, then warm hand clasps, affectionate good-byes, and the different families of this one great family, rolled away in their carriages, to their separate homes--feeling that, if in the better world, they make a respectable an assembly, their cup of joy will indeed be full."
After John Jruy died, she was left to raise her family of five children. She purchased 80 acres of land east of Minonk and there made her home until her children had been raised and married. Then, she married Daniel Hollenback and made her home in Minonk. A little over two years later, Daniel died and left Thomasin a widow once again.
Dorothy [Folkerts] is descended from Jacob Hollenback and she told me a little story about Daniel. After Martha Thralls Hollenback died Daniel married again to a Thomasin Jury, and Daniel didn't live too much longer. I kiddingly said, "Did she kill him?" She said that the lady's first husband was struck by lightening, then she married Daniel and he died, then she married two more times and they died! Black Widow!!!

Sarah Black and Susanna McKeever is only to have one dollar to be paid out of my money to her.
The data added for this family is not yet proved. About the time Robert Black disappears from Perry Co., OH and next appears in Wood Co., Sarah Hollenback's first cousin George Hollenback, Jr. migrated to adjoining Hancock county. There is also a John Black family in Wood Co. John was b PA 1797 and could be Robert's brother. On the 1860 census Robert Black [Jr] is living in the HH of John Black, listed last, as a laborer. This is very weak evidence, but I needed a place to keep the data.
There were older children in the censuses prior to 1850. At this time I have no names for them. [Apr 2010]

Sarah, Robert, Maria, Samuel W., Mary I, and Cecilia are buried beside each other.
Frank, Sarah, John and Phoebe are also buried beside each other.
This leaves several other Blacks, both known & unknown to me, not buried with either of these two families. [Nov 2015]

This family is not a good fit for 1850 census. Robert's age is wrong; place of birth is wrong for Robert. However, Jackson fits the 1850 census and Isabela is the correct age to be Mary I. of 1850. Caroline 21 is listed last and could be a niece.

The following is copied from an obituary of Jacob Hollenback. I found this pasted in a picture album that had belonged to Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Jury and now [1979] in the possession of Mrs. Ellen Moran, Henry, IL.
Died
Jacob Hollenback was born in Perry Co., Ohio, June 8, 1808, died in Minonk, Ill., February 11, 1890, of dropsy. At the age of 22 years he married Miss Eliza Thralls who preceded him some five years ago. Three of their five children survive, Mrs. Martha Armstrong of near Minonk, Mrs. Harriet Fuller and Mrs. Anna Foote, both of this city. Sophia, who died in infancy, and Hiram at the age of 21 years. Since the death of his wife Mr. Hollenback resided with his children. He died at the home of the youngest, Mrs. Foote. It will be 24 years next March since Mr. H. left his native state, and with his family settled in Minonk, and he has resided here and near here ever since as one of our most highly respected citizens.
He joined the Methodist church when a young man, and continued in that belief until death. He had been sick for some time, but his demise was not so soon expected.
The funeral will be condusted by Rev. Seaman, at the house at 9 a.m. today, and the interment will be made in the Hollenback cemetery near Pattonsburg, he being a member of that somewhat numerous and respected family in Marshall and Woodford counties. The bereft kindred have the sympathy of this community in their affliction.

And it s my will that Jacob and Nancy divide the property and every one get their share without any sale and if they can't agree themselves, it is my wish that they each choose one man not interested to divide the property and to say whose share each bunch is and to let the children know when the property is divided
from Dorothy Folkerts:
Nancy is buried beside her husband in the Maplewood Cemetery in New Lexington, Ohio. She was 81 years, one month and three days old. Her funeral was at the 1st Baptist church in New Lexington.
At the age of three years Nancy moved with her parents and siblings to Clayton township in Perry county. They were early settlers in Section 27 and were farmers. They lived near Rehoboth, where Nancy lived until she married.

from: Early Settlement of Lynn Township, Woodford Co., IL (courtesy Barb Darling) The first actual settler within the bounds of Linn was Harrison who moved to Section 3 in 1840. He came here, with is family, from Ohio and built the first house on the prairie south of the timber. This house was quite a mansion for those times, being hewed log building, twenty-four feet long and eighteen feet wide and one and a half stories high. It is still in use, but serves the ignoble purpose of sheltering cattle.
Both Harrison and Margaret are buried in the Hollenback cemetery, near Pattonsburg, Marshall Co., IL, along with many other family members. This cemetery is not on a road and is located on private grounds.
from Dorothy Folkerts:
Harrison and his wife Margaret came from Ohio to Illinois in the Pattonsburg area about 1840 or 1841. He was the first actual settler in Linn Township in Woodford Co., in Section 3.
from History of Bureau, Marshall and Putnam counties, IL pg 429
"A Horse Plays Detective"
On the 26th of February, 1847, a man named Thos. Dobson, who lived near Hollenback's Grove, came to Lacon one afternoon, and probably became somewhat intoxicated. Dobson was noted as a fast driver. He had a splendid span of well-matched horses, and made it a point to race with or run past every team he encountered upon the road. He drove a spring wagon, one of the first used in the section. On the day referred to he was returning, and when near Colonel Strawn's residence he saw ahead of him Mr. Harrison Hollenback, a respectable young farmer, his neighbor, and with whom, so far as known, he was on the most friendly terms. Dobson, as was his custom when approaching a team, gave the rein to his horses when they had approached close to Hollenback's wagon, and tried to pass him. The result was that a collision ensued, his wheels catching Hollenback's wagon and overturning it, the doomed man falling under the box, the edge of which crushed his skull. Hollenback was carried back a short distance to Colonel Strawn's house, and in a short time expired.
Dobson was arrested and bound over to appear at court on a criminal charge. He gave as sureties Daniel Hollenback, Jackson Parker, and another person, and was released from custody. Some time after, the term of court approaching, Dobson's conduct did not please his bail, and he receiving word that they were about to deliver him up, concluded to escape and 'leave them in the lurch.' Taking one of his horses he fled across the prairie, but encountered a man who recognized him and informed his bondsmen of his flight.
They immediately started in pursuit, and in the vicinity of Bloomington were passing a dense thicket, when the neigh of a horse was heard, which was immediately replied to by the horse Dobson had left behind and upon which one of the party rode. By some unknown equine telegraphy it had recognized its mate, and in this manner betrayed its master, who was stopping at a house in the vicinity. Perceiving their approach he started for a slough close at hand and endeavored to escape, but seeing them gaining upon him, drew a razor and cut his throat, dying three days after."
Margaret was left a widow with five small children, the eldest was only ten years old and the youngest was seven months old.
Sudden Death
Margaret Hollenback Drops Dead at Home of Her Daughter in Dana
Aunt Margaret Hollenback, as she was familiarly known, died very suddenly at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. B. Rickey, in Dana, Wednesday evening at 7:30 o'clock. On the 4th of July she left her home in Roanoke for Dana to visit Mrs. Rickey, and after the trip was over, said she felt quite well, in fact, her relatives thought the trip beneficial. Her health has been fairly good up to a few weeks ago, when she began to fail. On Wednesday, Mrs. Jacob Hollenback, of Washburn; Mrs. John Krater, of Joliet, and Mrs. Josiah Kerrick, of Minonk, visited with Auntie and Mrs. Rickey, and the old lady rode down to the train in the carriage in the evening to see them off home, apparently feeling very well. At the supper table she ate as hearty as usual, and pushed back from the table after completing her meal. Her head dropped forward, and then to one side, her daughter catching her to keep her from falling. Death was instantaneous, and came without warning. The remains were taken to Roanoke Thursday evening and the funeral services will be held at Belle Plain today [Friday] at 11 o'clock a.m. Mrs. Hollenback was born in Perry Co., Ohio, and was in her 75th year at the time of death. She came to Illinois in 1841 with her husband, Harrison Hollenback, who has been dead many years. She was a faithful member of the Methodist church, and lived a happy Christian life. Her home of late years has been in Roanoke, near her son Daniel.
The Roanoke Call, Friday July 19, 1895
Margaret Hollenback was born in Ohio, Fairfield county, November 26, 1815 and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. B. Ricky, in Dana, July 10, 1895. She was married to Harrison Hollenback March 31st, 1835, and six years later they moved to an Illinois farm in Woodford county, near Belle Plain. Here her husband died in 1847. There were five children born to them, two of whom have already crossed over the river, Mrs. Mary Weaver, who died in 1864, and Samuel Hollenback in 1878; Mrs. Amanda Bennington, Mrs. Rebecca Ricky and Daniel Hollenback survive their mother.
For the last 20 years or more Grandma Hollenback has lived in Roanoke, known and loved by all. She was a consistent member of the M. E. church and was especially fond of the camp meeting which she always attended, if possible. She lived in her own home through choice and had just gone to the home of her daughter for a visit, when the end came. She had not been feeling well, but was able to be up and it was while she was at the supper table with the family that her summons came and she too, crossed the silent river with the boatman pale to join the loved ones onthe other shore.
A short service was conducted at her home here, Friday the 12st, and then the funeral cortage proceeded to Belle Plain, where Presiding elder Haney, preached the discourse and the remains were returned to mother earth beside the last sleeping place of her husband. A large attendance of friends and relatives bespoke the interest and sympathy of all acquaintances.

from R. Richard "Dick" Hollenback:
In 1940 my grandfather wrote, "The last lap of our pilgrimage to Perry County ended at the village of McLuney, not far from New Lexington. McLuney was the home of William McKeever and his wife Susannah Hollenback. It may be been their birthplace as well as that of Nancy McKeever Hester and some of the other thirteen children. William and Susannah lived their later years in Minonk and rest in the beautiful cemetery there. The immediate church contains the resting places of the three most prominent families of that period, namely Iliff, Burley and McKeever."

Dorothy Folkerts: 25 or 26 Nov 1835 in Perry Co., OH by George Gardner, Minister of the Gospet of the Methodist Church at Rehoboth, Ohio. Recorded at Perry Co. court house in the Marriage Vol. 1, page 190.
Then they came to Minonk and have since made this place their home. There were born to them fourteen children, nine of whom are living--Mrs. Susan Williams, Washburn, Ill.; Jacob, Wymore, Neb.; Mrs. Margaret Stiles, Lincoln, Neb.; Mrs. Nancy Hester, Eureka, Ill.; Mrs. Mary Mitchell, Cowden, Ill.; John, Elkton, Colorado; Mrs. Linn Thom, Minonk; Joe, of Worthington, Minn.; Mrs. Anna Davison, Minonk; also 29 grand children, and 17 great grand children.
Mr. McKeever united with the Christian church in 1864, and has lived a constant Christian life. He was well acquainted with Alexander Campbell in Ohio. In politics he was a life long democrat, but he held principles above party. He was ever ready to lend a helping hand to a man that was in need of assistance, and seemed to take great pleasure in helping anyone he liked. He was plain spoken and blunt sometimes, but under the exterior there beat as warm and true a heart as ever lived in human body. In 1881 a cancer made it appearance on the right side of his face. He had it taken out in 1884, but soon after it made its appearance on his right ear, and he had the lower portion of the ear taken off. He was bothered more or less with this trouble until about a year ago, when two lumps came on hi neck; and they soon developed into cancers, and gradually undermined his strength until tired nature could stand no more, and he gently sank into that slumber that knows no wasking in this world; but death had no fears for him. True Christiand that he was, he felt and knew that he would awake in a better world, where he would be free from all sorrow and pain. The funeral services were held from the Christian church in this city, Friday, Nov. 26, at 11 o'clock a.m. which day was the 62d marriage anniversary of himself and his faithful, loving wife.
Elder Gilcrest, of Eureka, delivered the funeral oration and spoke in a feeling manner of the life of the departed, his fears and hopes, and the future life to come. The pall bearers consisted of grand children and great grand children.
In the death of Uncle William McKeever Minonk loses a faithful citizen; the family a faithful adviser, and the aged wife a protecting, loving husband. [poem]

William spent his early life in Pennsylvania and Ohio. His occupation in Ohio was farming. After a number of years in Ohio, William and Susannah moved to the Minonk, Illinois, area. Some records say they came to Illinois and located on a farm near Belle Plain, where they lived for two years. Land records show that William McKeever purchased the Southwest quarter of the North east quarter of Section in Minonk township from the Illinois Central Railroad on 22 March 1864. William paid $960. William and Susannah sold this same forty to Jacob McKeever for $1600 on 19 March 1873. Jacob McKeever and his wife Harriet, sold the same forty to Collins P. Waterman in 1874 for $1600. The 1873 Woodford Co. atlas shows William owning 120 acres and J. McKeever 40 acres in Section 20 of Minonk township.
from Debbie Gordon-Thom:
William is not from that branch [Darby] of McKeevers, but it is possible they were related somewhere back in Ireland. William was the son of Thomas McKeever, who migrated to the States sometime after the Revolutionary War. His Brother, William, migrated about the same time or shortly before, and both brothers settled in Washington County, PA. William's descendents are very well documented in a published genealogy, and when we were in Washington County several years ago, we met with the daughter of one of the researchers for that book (she was also a descendent of that William). The two extended families lived near each other until Thomas' move to Perry County.
I can't remember off the top of my head if the given name John appeared among William's offspring, but Thomas oldest son was named John as this was the name of his wife's father (this McKeever line consistently named the first-born son after the mother's father and the second for the father's father). John married prior to Thomas' migration to Perry County, and died in Belmont County, Ohio (he married a daughter of Abraham Rodgers, then married his sister-in-law when his wife died). However, the names Paul and Darby were not used in either William or Thomas' lines. Something unusual about these Washington County McKeevers - they were Catholic, living among an area with numerous Presbyterian churches. Since there were no Catholic churches on the frontier, they became practicing Methodists, but this was in stark contrast to the majority of people who lived around them. Makes me think that perhaps one of their parents may have been Irish rather than Scots-Irish.
William the brother of Thomas remained in Washington County, and his offspring went on to become judges, educators (one founded the first school of higher education for girls - today it is the campus of Bethany college), and abolitionists (the state of Virginia offered $500 for one son because of his involvement with the Underground Railroad). They were a very interesting family, and I've really enjoyed researching them. I'm sure they had no close connection to the McKeevers you came across though.
I( am likely the one who gave you William's birthplace as I have his death certificate, but I remember there being an issue with the county his children gave on the dc (it was recorded as Brown County, which was definitely not correct), so I need to pull the dc and list all my reasoning, which I'm too tired to do at the moment. I do remember that William gave his place of birth as VA in the early censuses, then WV once that state was created. The area of Washington County that the McKeevers lived in was very near the border of what is now WV. Many of their activities (such as the girl's school that I mentioned earlier) straddled the border of the two states (the school was in what is now WV).
William's mother was Margaret Jamison, and the extended Jamison families lived in both Washington County, PA and today's Brooke County, WV. This was an area that was claimed by both Pennsylvania and Virginia after the Revolutionary War, and the border ended up being established by the courts. John McKeever (William's older brother) married Elizabeth Rodgers of Brooke County, and she is listed as "Elizabeth McKeever, wife of John McKeever" when her father's will was probated in the 1830s. These are some of the reasons I am sure that the listing of Brown County as the county of birth on William's dc was in error, and the actual county was Brooke.

At the July Term of the Court of Common Pleas in Fairfield Co., OH 1831, Michael Roland, an heir at law of John Roland, deceased, filed his petition setting forth and showing to the Court that his said ancestor John Roland, deceased, in his lifetime on the 1 Jan 1818 contracted with and sold to William Shoemaker Inlot 1 on the plat of the town of Hamburgh in said county. That said Shoemaker at the time of his said purchase paid in hand to the said John Roland the sum of $2.00 in part of the purchase money, leaving a balance of $13.25 unpaid, and by said contract of purchase to be paid by the said Shoemaker as follows: $2.00 each year on the first day of January until the whole should be paid off with 6% interest on each payment from 1 Jan 1818. John Roland by his written covenant under seal agreed with said Shoemaker on full payment being made as stipulated above to convey said lot to said Shoemaker or his assigns. Said agreement or covenant of the said John Roland since the making had been assigned and transferred ~ Shoemaker to Samuel Strunk. Said Samuel Strunk is ready and willing to comply with the said Shoemaker's part of said Contract by paying to such person as the Court should direct the residue of the purchase. Petitioner requested the Court to name a person authorized to accept such payment, and allow a good deed to be issued to said Samuel Strunck on his paying the residue of the purchase money due and owing. The Court appointed Hocking H. Hunter on behalf of the heirs of John Roland, deceased, on full payment to execute a deed.
Therefore, Hocking H. Hunter, saying Samuel Strunk has fully paid over to Clerk of said Court the sum of $23.25, being the remainder of said purchase money for said Lot do on the behalf of the said legal heirs of John Roland, deceased, convey transfer and confirm unto the said Samuel Strunk Inlot 1 in the Town of Hamburgh in Fairfield Co., OH.

ST. PETER'S EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH.---This is one of the early churches of Lancaster; the precise date of organization cannot be given, as the old records were burned with the building in February, 1846.
Previous to the year 1810, the first society was formed by the Rev. Steck. For awhile they held their meetings in the court house, while at other times in the German Reform chapel, on south Columbus street.

In a Court filing as widow of Samuel Beery, she states that she was 59 years of age on the 13th day of February 1867. This gives her a birth date of 13 Feb 1808. Because the date was given by her, it's what I'm using.
Anna Beery, widow of Samuel Beery of Lancaster, was born in 1806 in Rockingham County, Virginia, and came to Ohio in 1816. She died on March 18th, in her 86th year, and was buried in Lancaster. Survived by a son, Charles Beery of Chillicothe, and a daughter, Mrs. Sadie Boerstler. Her only granddaughter is Miss Fannie Boerstler.
Updated records show Mrs. Anna Beery buried 19 Mar 1887 in Section A Lot 13 in Forest Rose Cemetery [24 Mar 2012] data found at Fairfield Co. members only website
I looked for a tombstone for her, but didn't find one.

Samuel Matlack, a venerable old man, settled in Lancaster on Wheeling, between Front and Second streets. He was the father-in-law of H. H. Hunter, Esq., and brother-in-law of General Lynch. He was the father-in-law of John B. Reed and George H. Smith. He was a native of Fayette County, Penn.
Pg 66
A sister of General Lynch was the wife of Samuel Matlack, Sr.--and the mother of Mrs. H. H. Hunter, Mrs. G. H. Smith and Mrs. J. B. Reed.
[It would appear that the first wife of Samuel Matlack was Unknown Lynch. Mrs. H. H. Hunter was Ann Matlack b 1802 KYm 30 Nov 1823.G.H. Smith was George H. Smith, a merchant tailor.J. B. Reed was John B. Reed, an ornamental sign painter]
On pg 175 there is a list of prominent men in town in 1837 who signed a petition for a town clock to be placed on the steeple of the Presbyterian Church. Some signers: Jesse Woltz, Samuel Matlack, Jr;, Samuel Matlack, Hocking H. Hunter, Charles Mytinger, Joseph Grubb, .
Sameul Matlack [Jr.] was born in Kentucky, came to Lancaster with his brother, John, and was engaged with him in business. For a short time George Bentley was his partner. In 1838 he sold his business to Nicholas Young. He removed to Indiana, where he died one year later.

I may have found some leads on Samuel Beery for you from "Centenial History of Lancaster" by C.M.L. Wiseman, published in 1898. The book is available for viewing on both Heritage Quest and ancestry.com.
The book has a brief biography of what seems to be the Samuel Beery you're looking for on pages 310-311. The bio is primarily his business history, but it does say he was born in Virginia and came to Ohio in 1805 and became a resident of Lancaster in 1819. He died in 1867 after a painful illness.
"Samuel Beery was born in Virginia and came to Ohio in 1805. He became a resident of Lancaster in 1819. He first learned the tanner's trade with Henry Sutzen, whose tannery was on the ground now occupied by the Eagle Machine Co. In 1827 he became a clerk in the dry goods store of W. & C. King. In the year 1829 he commenced the grocery business on his own account.
James Cessna became his partner in 1830 and so continued until 1837, when Cessna sold his interest to Jacob Cly. In 1839 Beery sold out to Cly.
In 1846 Beery, with G. J. Wygum as partner, opened a large store in the Tallmadge House block. In the year 1848 Beery sold to Wygum and opened a grocery store in his own building on the north side of Main Street. In 1856 George Burberry became interested but did not long remain. In 1865 Mr. Beery sold his stock to Andrew Bauman and his building to D. Tallmadge. He died after a painful illness in the year 1867."
George J. Wygum was a native of Germany. He came to Lancaster in 1836. He learned the baking business with S. Beery & Cly. ...... and in 1846 formed a partnership with Samuel Beery, which continued to 1851.
In October, 1865, Andrew Bauman purchased the stock of Samuel Beery and commenced the grocery and baking business.
On pages 182-3, Wiseman lists some weddings, including "Samuel Beery to Mrs. Ann Matlack, mother of Mrs. Judge Biddle of Indiana, August 1, 1840 by Rev. William Cox"
Some research on the Website of the Ohio Genealogical Society uncovered a marriage between Samuel Matlack and Nancy Jones in Oct. 1823. It is not beyond reason that a woman might be known as both Ann and Nancy. If this isn't the right marriage, Samuel had a brother named John who could be researched. According to page 346 and 347 of the Centenial History, John died in 1834 and Samuel moved to Indiana in 1838 and died a year later.
Although I was not able to pin down for certain the name of Judge (Horace P.) Biddle's wife (they were separated for most of their marriage), I think I found her in the 1860 census for Cass County, Ind. as Ann M.M. Biddle and in 1870 as Anna Maria Biddle. Both have her birth date as circa 1822. If she is Ann Jones Beery's daughter, it is by Ann's first marriage to a Matlack.
As for Samuel Beery, I am unable to place him with certainty in the extensive Beery family of Fairfield County. However, Wiseman says in another book (Pioneer Period and Pioneer People of Fairfield County, Ohio) that Samuel is an unspecified relative of Nicholas Beery, the patriarch of the Fairfield County Beerys. My personal guess is that Samuel is a son of Christian Beery (nephew of Nicholas) and Catherine Frank. But that is only a guess.
Samuel aged 40-50
Females: 1 20-30 and 1 30-40
The official enumeration date was June 1st, prior to Samuel and Ann's marriage. I do not know who these females might be. Samuel may have been previously married to Rachel Medlock who died in 1838. She was not old enough to be the mother of either of these females. She was only 25 when she died in 1838. There was another Samuel Beery in Fairfield. Rachel could have been his spouse.
Theodore Mithoff of Lancaster applied for guardianship of Lawrence W. Beery, aged 18 years, Dec 26, 1867, a minor heir of Samuel Beery, deceased. It states assets will be sold and minor's interest will not exceed $1500.00.

John S. Brasee, Admn vs Ann Beery & others
This day this cause came and again to be heard about the Supplemental Petition of the Plaintiff and the separate answers of Mary I. Krieder, Hester I. Myers, and Henry Springer.
[abstracted] Charles Beery did sell and assign his said interest in said premises to Ann Beery, as in the answer of Krieder is alleged, and said Ann Beery mortgaged the same to Krieder also therein alleged, and that the mortgage debt is still unpaid.
It is therefore ordered by the Court that said plaintiff pay the one third of the whole balance (to wit $840.43) this day found in his hands and settlement of his 2'd account in the Probate Court as such Adm'r, which would otherwise be going to said Charles Beery unto the said Krieder the mortgager.
I also find that the said Charles E. Boerstler & his wife mortgaged their interest in the premises unto Hester J. Myers as Answer alleges and that said mortgage debt is unpaid.
The Court does order that Plaintiff pay one third of the sum otherwise going to Sarah Boerstler to Hester J. Myers as said mortgager.

The Court further finds there is still due & unpaid the mortgage of Hester I. Myers the sume of $47.25, which the said Amn'r is also ordered to pay to her.
The Court finds that said Boerstler & wife, by a writing signed by them & filed with the papers in this case the Adm'r is to pay so much of the sum of $127.80 as is otherwise going to Sarah Boerstler as may be necessary to extinguishment of the liens upon the account of said Charles to Ann Beery.
Signed Abraham Seifert, Probate Judge
This day this matter came to be heard on the questions of distributions not heretofore disposed of. The Court being fully advised in the premises? find that said Charles Beery sold and conveyed to said Ann Beery his interest in said premises on the 25 Apr 1868, and that said Springer has therefore no lien in his said interest under the filing of the transcript May 28, 1868 and subsequent levy; and that said Springer therefore is not entitled to distribution herein.
The Court further finds that the mortgage of said Ann Beery to said Mary A. Kreider was filed for record May 19, 1868 and that the same was a lien on said interest so conveyed for that time.
The Court also finds that said mortgage debt amounted/accounted? on September 27, 1869, when the former order? of distribution here was made to $538.41, and that there was then ordered to be applied $280.15 leaving $258.26, which with interest to this day $19.88 makes the present amount $278.14.
Wherefrom it is ordered that said Administrator pay to said Mary A. Kneider/Kreider? on her said claim [can't read] proceeds coming to said Ann Beery $175.14
and also out of the amount coming to said Boerstler's wife the sum of $103.00, being in full of said mortgage debt of $278.14, and that the remainder of said proceeds coming to them be paid to said Sarah Boerstler being $24.89.

From the Lease/Leise Family Genealogy compiled by Hazel Elizabeth Leise Thornton 1996; Published by Family History Publishers; 834 South Main Street; Bountiful, Utah 84010
"A silver spoon, handed down through his daughter, Mary [Leise] Cooper, is still in existence and according to a letter dated 25 December 1936, to Helene Cooper from her Aunt Harriet Ausman, several other spoons were handed dowwn to other children of the Thomas Leise family. They presumably were a wedding gift. They had the initials "TL" on them. Caroline [Leise] Donaldson had them up to the time she died and they were to be handed down to her brothers' and sisters' oldest daughters. They were sterling, made by a silversmith in Maryland by the name of "Villard". Robert Cooper, grandson of Mary [Leise] Cooper, has the existing spoon in his possession."
A copy of a handwritten letter included in the genealogy states there were 6 spoons in the original set. She stated the spoons had been used in jelly, horseradish, mustard, or anything for small service.
My note: Kovels' shows R.H.L. Villard working in Washington, D.C. and Georgetown, Maryland, about 1815-1835.. I also found a reference to Villard as a silversmith from that area in a list of Winterthur collections.

Her probate record does not list a place of burial. Her coffin was $18.00 paid by her administrator to George Ishler.
A deed made out in 1829 listed William Macnary as living in Fairfield Co., Ohio. I don't know when they arrived, but they must have been there by November of 1824, as their daughter Elizabeth is shown as having been born in Ohio, as does their daughter Cyntha.
I've searched the 1830 census, but have not been able to find them.
Cintha's probate record is problematic. Children who lived in her household in 1850 and 1860 aren't listed as heirs, namely James K. Polk McNary and Henry Harrison McNary. Sarah C., whom we had thought was a daughter-in-law wife of Isaac, was listed as an heir. No mention was made about Isaac, for whom we've found no record after 1855.

On 27 Jun 1860 the deed was admitted to the record.
Note: This deed explains why Isaac Hollenback owed Cintha $100.00 when she died. Her half of the sales price would be $100.00.
Although the sheet below is undated, another page in the copies that appears to be a cover shows Final Settlement approved and ordered to be recorded June 22, 1866.
Undated final filing shows $119.66 in the hand of the administrator. It lists the heirs of Cynthia McNary as Elizabeth Washburn, Thomas McNary, Cynthia Auld, Susan Howard, Howard McNary, Louisa McNary, Margaret McNary, and Sarah McNary, eight in all, are the only surviving children and heirs of the said deceased. All of the said heirs are of lawful age and will receive the sum of $14.95 3/4. Thereafter, the administrator will be discharged from further duty.
There is a memo in the margin showing Isaac Hollenback notes, each for the sum of $50.00, dated 13 Jun 1860, the first payable to said Cyntha McNary on the 25 Dec next after the date thereof, the other payable like the first on the 25 Dec 1861 to the end that said heirs may at any time hereafter collect the same, if they can.
Probate papers list her death as 23 Apr 1864, the date written when William Auld was appointed Administrator.
No land is listed among the assets of Cintha McNary. She seems to have made her living after William's death weaving and sewing and trading butter and eggs to pay her account with Porter & Bros. The highest priced items sold from her estate appear to be her livestock: cattle, hogs, and horses. I found nothing that shows she owned the land, nor to whom she paid rent for her home. Yet, the administrator paid taxes for 1864 in the amount of $12.83, and $4.37 taxes for 1865. I would think it would require a larger piece of land than a town lot to raise her livestock.
Her administrator paid Wm. H. McNary $44.50. He did own land, but the record doesn't say why Cyntha owed this bill to him. Wm. H. was a doctor, and the payment may have been a doctor's bill. She had a running account with Porter & Bros., which appears to have been a general store.
There is also a page [top cut off] for Isiah Curtiss, for whom she seems to have done weaving.
Isaac Hollenback owed Cintha $100.00 on 2 $50.00 notes. These notes were due in Dec. 1860 and Dec 1861. Why Isaac, her uncle, owed her money isn't stated. Isaac was a wealthy man and could well have afforded to pay these notes. The first payment was due prior to the Civil War and Confederate currency, I think, so that shouldn't have been a problem. By Dec 1861 VA had seceded, so that could have been a problem sending any currency of value to the north.
[I do not yet have the deed in my file, but Isaac owed this amount to Cintha for her sale to him of land inherited by her mother Sarah from Thomas Hollenback.]
These children were buyers at the sale of Cintha's belongings:
Margaret also listed as Maggie & Marg; Sarah McNary; Cyntnia Auld; N. Washburn; and Louisa McNary. Margaret purchased the most items. B. Howard, and James K. Polk McNary were all serving in the Civil War at the time of the sale.
The sale was held 27 May 1864. The items sold were the usual household items of the day: spinning wheels & reel, shovels, axes, sheep shears, baskets, pots, crocks, chairs, loom, saddles, chest, table, bed, quilts, feather bed, and grain. Her livestock: 3 guineas, 2 doz chickens, 4 turkeys, 2 heifers, 5 hogs, 2 colts and 1 iron grey horse. Except for children, the only other family member whose name I recognize is B. L. Lease who purchased a cross cut saw. Total for sale was $327.40.
In addition to the other payments noted, the Administrator also paid the usual fees plus a bill to Mary Howard [McNary] of $40.00 and one to Nathaniel Washburn of $19.50. Her coffin was $18.00 paid to George Ishler.

W½NE 20/ 10-N 13-W No 2nd PM IL Clark
This land is recorded in Entry Book 1 pg 106 in Clark Co., IL.
The Deed from Nimrod to William in trust for William's children establishes these two as brothers. The children are listed in order from Isaac down through Thomas. The last child listed was George W. McNary, who never appears on any census record. At the date of the Deed in Trust's writing both Blake Howard and Mary were born, but are not named. Until we find the transfer of this this land from William to the children, we will not know all the names listed as heirs of William, nor will we know who was considered heirs of Isaac to whom 40 acres of land was set aside.

At this point I have no Wm. McNary whose land this might be in 1892. It isn't this William, as he's long since deceased. It could be one of his descendants' land.

The complaintants are Lewis Dawson and Mary C. Dawson and Harriet Ann Dawson, infants by Lewis Dawson their next friend. [Groom Name: Lewis Dawson Bride Name: Sarah Cowan Marriage Date: 22 Dec 1829 County: Hampshire State: Virginia]
The Defendants are Barsheba Cowan, widow of Wm. Cowan, dec'd. and John M. Cowan, Rhoda Cowan, Harriet Ann Cowan, and Bersheba Cowan children and heirs of said William Cowan, dec'd. and Zimri Hollenback.
The result of the lawsuit is that the Complaintants get 2/15 of some land, one entire tract of timber land being 100 acres which was patented to William Cornwell by patent on 8 Aug 1796 and ten acres off the lower end of the Creek tract, bounded as follows…….. It's on Patterson Creek. It states that John Sloan SHC did the surveying.
Signed by John Sloan, Robt K. Sheetz and Nimrod Jr. [I think that's what it is.]
It was recorded on 8 May 1854.
I do not understand the 2/15 division. I did figure out that Barsheba Cowan was a daughter of John McBride, and a sister to Ruhamma McBride who married James Allen.
There was nothing in this deed showing that Zimri's estate was going to be compensated for the land he lost which he had purchased from the Cowan heirs.
Know all Men by these presents, that we, Charity Hollenback, Joshua Johnson and Thomas Carskadon, are held and firmly bound unto the Commonwealth of Virginia in the just and full sum of $3000 to be paid to the said Commonwealth, for payment whereof, well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves jointly and severally, and each of us binds his heirs and personal representatives. Sealed with our seals and dated this 27th day October 1851. The condition of the above obligation is such, that whereas the above bound Charity Hollenback has been appointed and has undertaken the office or trust of guardian for Catherine Hollenback, Amos Hollenback, Sarah Hollenback, and Susan Hollenback, orphans of Zimri Hollenback, deceased, and bond is required of him, now if the said Charity Hollenback shall faithfully discharge the duties of his office of trust, then the above obligation to be void, otherwise it is to remain in full force and virtue.

There is a Charity Johnson listed as a slave owner. I don't know if it is truly Charity Johnson or Charity Johnson Hollenback.
Her slaves were Emily 45 and Martin 19, both black, which is a close match to the slaves on her list of 1850.
In checking the 1850 census data, I found that David Williamson & Maria were living between William Dye and Emily [Hollenback] and John Hollenback, who had a daughter Mary or Maria.
To date I have found no marriage record for this couple, and have no handed-down family information about Mary/Maria except her given name. The same post also listed that their daughter Elizabeth m William Jones, whose marriage I found. She also stated both were buried in IN. I have not yet been able to find the burials.
I believe that Mariah died before 1869, as I found a marriage and census data for David Williamson after that date.
Males: 10101 [age 20-30] Females: 00001 [age 20-30]
The male 10-15 may not be their child. He doesn't appear in the 1840 census, but he would have been old enough to be on his own. This could be a younger sibling of David Williamson.

In 1827 the 4th was on Tuesday in September and December. In 1828 March 4th was also on Tuesday. Based on the placement in the book, my best guess is the marriage occurred on 4 Dec 1827, and the minister was a bit tardy in recording it.

There is a marriage listed for David Williamson to Adeline Lattimer on 16 Nov 1869 in Pulaski Co., IN. Mariah fits as David's granddaughter, d/o David Jones & Mary J. Williamson.

02 Aug 1894 Deposition Mary C. Hollenback, 76, widow of Edmond Hollenback, near Lucerne, Cass Co., IN, P.O. Desolation, Fulton Co., IN. She states she is the mother of John B., that she had two sons in the same company, John & Zimri. She states Zimri lives in Logansport, boarding with Mrs. Sarah Hollenback. She says before John enlisted he was stout and hearty and always had good health. After discharge he came back to her house in 1865, in the winter, it was cold. His health was not near so good as before he enlisted; thinner, pale, looked bad. He lived there only a short time then moved to Schuyler Co., IL and married there. He returned but once after he married and stayed 2-3 weeks. While living with her after his return from Army he only worked a day now and then. She didn't believe he was physically able to work steadily. He was treated by Dr. Julian and Th. Boggs upon his return. They are both dead. She signed her name.

"One day Tom and George Hollenback, father and myself were out hunting, and the dogs made a big fuss in a thicket, and we rushed in to see what was the matter, and found that they had come across a den of young wolves, and the old one was not at home. There were six of them, about a quarter grown, but very active and ferocious; and we had hard work to catch them as they had such a careless way of feeling round for a fellow's fingers, and would snap at you like steel traps. At last we got a forked stick and held their necks down while we tied them. One of the boys had a big pocket in his coat and concluded to carry one in it. We got ready and started for home with our menagerie, when all at once the wolf in the pcket grabbed the boy by the hid part of his leg and held on like grim death. The poor fellow ran around and howled. We tried to break the animal's hold, but it would not let go. We could not beat or choke it off, and we had to cut its head off.
That made the boys so made that they killed all the wolves but one, which I took home and tied by a chain to a stake in the yard."
Lived with his father through 1850 census.
I have in my file a copy of a deed provided by Lester Hollenback. This deed is dated 1858.

In 1830 both Thomas Nickolson and George Young were on the Hampshire Co., VA census. By 1840 both were gone.
From a current gun collector [2009]
One thing that I discovered on your site was,that George Young was the nephew to William Hollenback SR, being the son of Catherine. This was a wonderful revelation to me and probably some Hampshire County Longrifle Collectors. George Young Rifles are very hard to come by & are considered in the highest regard among collectors. His rifles are pictured in some books. I just wanted to let you know that the "Hollenback Site" has been a wonderful resource in my research.Thanks, and have a wonderful week.
from Gunsmiths of PA, MD & VA 1790-1840 by Bowers
"George Young was a gunsmith in Hampshire County. Nothing is known on his early life. He was married to Elizabeth Nicholson 3/4/1824.
An indenture, 5/1832 shows James Spurling of the town of Romney, Hampshire County, selling to George Young of the same place, house and lot in the town of Romney for $300.00, being lot no. 17.
On 9/4/1832, George Young and wife give a deed of trust to John Kearn, Jr., Daniel Gibson, and Samuel Brady for their property in Romney.
Deed Book 29, page 62 dated 7/11/1833, shows an indenture whereas George Young and Elizabeth, his wife of the town of Romney, County of Hampshire, State of Virginia is endebted to Samuel Brady for $98.46 1/2. Young puts up as security his house and lot in Romney, being lot no. 17. Also the following articles: 1 cow, 2 beds and bedding, 1 bureau, 1 oven, 1 skillet, 2 iron pots, 1 tea kettle, 1 set knives and forks, 1 coffee pot, 1 set gunsmith tools, 2 bee hives, together with all my other property.
I have nothing more on this man. Records from Hampshire County are very meagre. There was much that was never recorded and some lost. As this was in a remote section of Virginia, the inhabitants were first concerned with survival, and next, pushing back the wilderness. Most of them were farmers and merchants of some sorts. It is unusual to find good artisans in an out of the way place, the exception being The Romney Road out of Winchester was one of the best routes West to the Ohio River.
Some of these men were exceptional artisans opinion based on the few surviving rifles by them. Frederick and Jacob Sheetz, George W. Glaze, William Britton and George Young were outstanding. Their work shows they were little influrenced by the Frederick and Shenandoah gunsmiths."
West Virginia History Volume XLV 1984 pgs by William Ansel
"Both the Shane and Offutt firearms were usually well-made pieces on the order of and in a class with the Rinehart products, but they were generally not as fancy as the Sheetz rifles or the Jacob Kline, George W. Glaze, and George Young arms."
Gunsmiths of Virginia by Whisker pg 80
George Young (1802 - ) gunsmith. 1830-37, Hampshire County, [West] Virginia. On 4 March 1824 George Young mrried Elizabeth Nicholson. Young was enumerated in the Census of 1830 in Hampshire County. On May 1832 Geroge Young purchased lot 17 in Romney [Hampshire Deed Book 28, p256]. On 15 May 1834 Young bought 192 acres on North River Hampshire County [Deed Book 29 p352]. On 6 June 1834 Young purchased land in Bear Wallow Hollow [Deed Book 29, p343]. On 11 July 1833 Young borrowed money from Samuel Brady, placing, among other items, his gunsmith's tools as security [Deed Book 29 p62].
By 1840 Young had moved to Perry County, Illinois [U.S. Censuses of 1840 and 1850]. A son, George Young, Jr. was a gunsmith in Eureka, Nevada, from 1879 through 1880 [research by Lawrence Shelton; U.S. Census].

George Young v. Elam Silkwood.
Appeal from Perry.
1. Verdict - seldom disturbed, if on circumstances. In actions for trespass where the testimony is often and perhaps usually circumstantial, the court will rarely, if ever, disturb a verdict, when there is any thing in the record tending to support the finding of the jury.(l)
This was an action of trespass for shooting a horse, brought by Silkwood against Young, before a justice of the peace, where plaintiff had judgment for $45 00. From this judgment Young appealed to the circuit court. The trial in the circuit court came on before Underwood, judge, and a jury, at the April term, 1849. Verdict and judgment for Silkwood, for the same sum. Motion for new trial was denied, and Young took an appeal to the supreme court.
W. Edwards, for appellant. C. L. Starbuck, for appellee. Trumbull, J. The only question in this case is, whether the circuit court erred in refusing to set aside the verdict of the jury as contrary to evidence.
The action is trespass for shooting a horse, and presents questions peculiarly proper for the consideration of a jury. That the animal was injured is unquestioned, and the only point of dispute is, whether the appellant committed the injury. The fact of his previous threats, that he had a gun, that the horse was seen in his field, and a gun heard in that direction, shortly before the injury was inflicted, and that tracks and blood were afterwards discovered in the field, are circumstances from which the jury may well have inferred that appellant committed the injury.
In a case of this kind, where the testimony is often and perhaps usually circumstantial, the court will rarely, if ever, disturb a verdict, when there is any thing in the record tending to support the finding of the jury. Judgment affirmed.

The Bible owned by John H. Pontius that listed the births of the children of Daniel D. and Elizabeth Bentley Pontius was published in 1834. It must have been the Bible of Daniel and Elizabeth.

Anna and Eva were not in the list of children's births.
Both Elizabeth and her daughter Fannie died in Bellefontaine, Logan Co., OH in 1879. I did not find either of their burials in the available online records.

William is listed in the book Gunsmiths of PA, MD and VA 1790-1840 by Bowers and American Gunsmiths - A Source Book by Frank M. Sellers, Pg 149
The West Virginia History Volume XLV 1984 pg 132:
"The 1850 Industrial Census lists William Hollenback as a gunmaker in what was then Hampshire County. The same record states that he was born in 1818 in the District of Columbia. He was first enumerated as being a resident of this county in the 1840 census, and he is also named in the 1850 tabulations. On October 8, 1850, he purchased from Noah Dawson and others real estate located on Cabin Run, a tributary of Patterson's Creek in what is now Mineral County. Hollenback was a son of William Hollenback, who was in turn a son of Thomas. The latter was an early settler on Patterson's Creek as he is listed as a resident of Hampshire County in the 1782 census. On May 18, 1815, George Hollenback conveyed to William Hollenback, the elder, real estate on Patterson's Creek, and on April 28, 1827, William, the father, purchased additional land from Jacob and Sarah Lease, the latter being an heir of Thomas Hollenback. This conveyance was a portion of Fairfax's Patterson's Creek Lot No. 3, which was originally conveyed to Nicholas Reasoner by Thomas Lord Fairfax in 1748. This lot lies on both sides of the creek between what is now Reese's Mill and Headsville. On February 28, 1842, William Hollenback, the son, together with his wife, Ann, conveyed to Isaac Hollenback all his right, title and interest in and to a certain tract of land which he had acquired as an heir of his father. Hollenback's wife died in 1871, and on March 19, 1878, he married Elizabeth H. Lease. He stated his age to be fifty-seven at the time of his marriage.
Hollenback firearms, whether made by father or son, are rare. Never having examined a Hollenback rifle, no information can be given as to how they were signed nor can it be stated how the father's work may be distinguished from the son's. The locks may help somewhat in this regard as the father worked in the flintlock era, while the son made his firearms during the percussion period."

Based on this deed, Ann's siblings are Maria Jane; Ruth m Daniel Waxler; Holt; Mary; and John. It isn't clear to me how Noah I./J. Dawson wife Margaret, the seller is related. He isn't noted as the Executor, and he states that 2/8 of the land have been deeded to Thomas Dobbins, but I don't know by whom. Noah received $500.00 from these buyers, but William and Ann sold their 1/8 for $40.00.

DEATH CAME FRIDAY TO AGED BLIND CITIZEN
James Leatherman, Almost Ninety, Died at Home on Elm Street
After Long Illness
James Leatherman, the aged father of James N. Leatherman, died Friday afternoon at 5:20 o'clock at his home on Elm street in Rensselaer, after an illness that made him an almost total invalid for the past year. He became blind twelve years ago, just a year following the death of his wife, and during all the succeeding years, his daughter, Miss Mary, has been his housekeeper and companion.
On March 15th, last year, he suffered a stroke of paralysis and since that time, he had never had all his clothing on and was a constant care.
His son, Simon, came from Lamar, Mo., about that time and assisted in caring for his father ever since.
Mr. Leatherman would have been 90 years of age had he lived until June 11th.
He leaves five sons and two daughters, namely, James and Mary, of Rensselaer; David, of near Wolcott; Simon, of Lamar, Mo.; Isaac, of Pleasant Hill, Mo.; John, of Chapman, Kan., and Mrs. H. K. Payne, of Indianapolis.
The funeral was held Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock at the residence, conducted by Rev. Fisher, of Mexico, Ind., assisted by Rev. Winn, of the Christian church. Rev. Fisher is a German minister and conducted the funeral of Mrs. Leatherman thirteen years ago. It was the request of Mr. Leatherman that he also conduct his funeral. Burial in Weston cemetery.

Much of the Leatherman family data came from this book.
"During the early years of the settlement of America, many immigrants came from Germany, Holland, and Switzerland, where they were suffering religious persecution, and found homes in America. Among these were Jacob Ledterman, wife and two sons, who settled in Bedminster Township, Buck Co., Pa. Their descendants are now widely scattered." ....
"James Leatherman, the youngest of Abe's first set of children, 12 years old when his mother died, was born in Hampshire Co., VA, June 11, 1822, d Renssalaer, IN on Mar. 8, 1912; m in VA 12 Oct 1843 Elizabeth Ann Hollenback of Va. She d Rensselaer, Ind. Dec 15, 1898.
James lived in Hampshire Co., VA, until in the fall of 1850 when he and his family of then 4 children migrated to Ind. with his oldest brother Christopher and family. They traveled by wagon to the Ohio River, down the river on flat boat as far as Vincennes, Ind., then by canal to Lafayette, Ind., where a sister, Mrs. Conrad Fleek lived. Later they went overland by team to Jasper Co., Ind. to the home of another sister, Mrs. William Dobbins, in what was then known as the Dobbins settlement. After their visit with Mrs. Dobbins, James and his family settled in White Co., Ind., until Mar. 1890, when they returned to Jasper Co., near Rensselaer and three years later moved into the town of Rensselaer where James continued to reside until his death, 19 years later. James lost his eyesight in June, 1899. After his wife's death his daughter Mary kept house for him. He lived to be nearly 90 years old, and left to his children sacred memories of a Christian life. He was of the Dunk [Dunkard?] faith. Farmer. C: Zimrie, Amos and Isaac, Simon, John, Margaret, George, David, Mary, James, Andrew."
JAMES N. LEATHERMAN. A resident of Jasper County for more than a quarter of a century, Mr. Leatherman has been engaged in some form of useful service all this time, and was for eight years, county auditor. He is now one of the county's most popular bankers, and his broad experience as a county official and his large acquaintance with the people of Jasper County have done much to increase his efficiency and value as cashier of the First National Bank of Rensselaer. James N. Leatherman is a native of White County, Indiana, where he was born December 1, 1862. His birthplace was Princeton Township of that county. James and Elizabeth (Hollenback) Leatherman, his parents, were natives of West Virginia and came to White County in the fall of 1850, being among the early settlers. About 1893 they removed to Rensselaer, where the father died in March, 1912, and the mother in 1898. Seven of their eleven children are still living.

From History o Franklin and Pickaway Counties, Ohio p326:
John Nevins came to Pickaway county about 1810, and settled on the place now owned by James Walker, where he died in 1819 or 1820. He raised a family of three sons and two daughters. One daughter married Richard Carson, who was a stepson of Major John Thompson. Mr. Carson was a very strong and active man, but injured his health by showing his activity, and died from the effects of a strain. Another daughter married Nathan Denny; and another, Joseph Hollenback. The sons went to Iowa and other parts of the West.
I have not been able to locate Joseph on the 1840 census. He was not living with his father Amos.

"We confess that we are 'borrowers of money', but permit us to state that we are not 'slaves to the lender;' nor do we think we 'ought to be 'broke' for pursuing that honorable course which we have always found to advance our prosperity." However in 1834, the banks "have been compelled to close their doors against us,....which makes it impossible for us to pursue our straight forward and usual course of business...."
These citizens were farmers who raised and exported beef, pork, flour, and whiskey. The prices for their products had fallen dramatically and they blamed the "derangement of the moneyed concerns of the eastern cities" which resulted from the "experiment of the Executive."

INTERVIEW CONTINUES WITH FERN CONKRITE by Grayden Slowins:
G: What about George Hollenbach and his wife, a daughter of Jacob Collingham? Who were their children?
F: Mahala married George High and had a daughter, Nellie, who married Dr. Frederick Morse and they later moved to Lake Odessa. Their son was Dr. George Morse. Sarah (Sadie) married Charles Cooper and had no children. Wallace never married. The other son (George Jr.?) was the father of all these Hollenbachs around now.
The other Collingham girl, Elizabeth, married Oliver Smith. Their children were: Eva, who married a man named Cook and lived in Montana; Jane, who married a Towner and had Leighton Smith, Bert Towner, Evert Towner, and a daughter; and Ben, who married Mable Baird Hale and had Alzeo (Mike), Oliver Jr., Irvin, and several girl babies who died.
Mable had been married before, and one of her girls, Beatrice, married Wallace Hollenbach, Jr. (son of George Jr.?) and had Georgiana, Robert, Carrie Lee, Richard, Daryl, Roberta, Carol, and Jamie. Mable's other daughter, Bernice, married LeRoy Darling and had Irene Carr, Wellman Darling, LeRoy, Jr., and Kathlene.
Oliver Smith's first wife was Phoebe A. Gunn, daughter of Samuel and Caroline Gunn. By that marriage there was a daughter Carrie, who was married to Henry Whorley late in life after her first husband, Fred McNeil, died by suicide. (Whorleys lived where Linda Banker is remodeling now.)
Fred McNeil died with the same rope that killed Ellis Dorin, the constable who investigated. Supposedly a third man used it also. McNeil's problem was a paternity accusation.
(Fern will continue in next issue.)
INTERVIEW WITH FERN CONKRITE by Grayden SLOWINS (continued from April, June & August, 1990) http://ionia.migenweb.net/meat/sebewanews/Sebewa_35_3.htm
When Ben SMITH & Mabel HALE got married, they moved away from town for a while and lived on the Frank LINEBAUGH place up on EMERY Road. Then they lived in that house across from the Methodist Church and famed there when the boys were born. I remember him coming to the door one awful night, the snow was a-blowing and it was cold. He said "If a baby is going to be born in Michigan, it will be tonight!"
Ben was right, a SMITH baby was born that night. Ben took the horse & sleigh and went to Sunfield and got Dr. CRAWFORD. Then he got Louise (Mrs. Oren) REEDER, who lived on the north edge of town on the Danby side, where Gorma BAILEY lived later, and brought her to assist. I never delivered any babies, nor even assisted, when I was babying.
George & Mahala HIGH lived next north of the Clanty DERBY farm. She was a sister to Sadie (Sarah) COOPER, who lived where Sunshine is now. They were HOLLENBACH girls, daughters of George HOLLENBACH. His wife was a COLLINGHAM, sister to Elizabeth, second wife of Oliver SMITH, Sr., daughters of Jacob COLLINGHAM that had the first sawmill. George HIGH and his brother John both lived there on the Danby side, where Vaughn & Janet CARTER live now. I think Vaughn tore the house down. (He says there was just a shed and open well.) George & Mahala's daughter was Nellie, who married Dr. Fred MORSE, and their son was Dr. George MORSE, who came back out from Lake Odessa and bought the DERBY farm for his cottage retreat on Sebewa Creek.
John Kelly, J. P. states that both signed willingly and Elizabeth interviewed separately is satisfied.

[Sarah, age 6, in 1870 does not appear. She could be married.George L. age 13 was not on 1870. Is he a grandson?There's an age difference, but he could be the Lafayette Smith of 1870, age 7]
He stated he married the mother of Daniel at Logan Co., OH on 31 Dec 1835, and his son was born at Hancock Co., OH on 12 Jun 1846, and the mother of said son died in Hancock Co., OH on 18 Nov 1856. His son was unmarried at the date of his death and left no widow, child, or children.
Lafayette B. Smith was the witness for his signature.
On 29 Apr 1890 George Hollenback of Danby, Ionia Co., MI. stated that when Daniel enlisted his residence was Liberty Twp., Hancock Co., OH; postal address was Findley. He moved from there to Sebewa, Ionia Co., MI about the middle of October 1869. At that time the members of his family were one son, own brother to Daniel, whose name was John W. Hollenback, aged about 5 years, and my second wife who was a widow when I married her with four small children: Cyrus Whaley, Marion Whaley, Mahala Whaley, David Whaley; their ages I cannot remember.
Sarah Ann Hollenback, my child by the second wife was about 1 yr. old when Daniel enlisted. There has been no one bound to support me since the boy's death; step-son Cyrus Whaley enlisted at the same time. I have not sold or owned any real estate. I have no letters written by or for the soldier.
On 29 April 1890, Riley N. Wilson, age 38, make an affidavit stating he is the supervisor of the township of Sebewa, and keeper of the assessment records of said township. He gives a long list of property assessments for George Hollenback from 1869-1889. Property value begins at $150., increases to $900 by 1882 and down to $600 in 1889. It is an 18 acre plot of improved land.
On 29 Apr 1890 George Hollenback makes a sworn statement saying the real estate shown assessed to him belongs to his wife, Mrs. Ruth J. Hollenback; said real estate does not and never did belong to him. He has never owned any real estate.
30 Apr 1890 Catharine Green, age 63 filed an affidavit stating she has known the family of George Hollenback for many years, was well acquainted with Mrs. Hollenback mother of Daniel before her marriage to the applicant, was present at her marriage to George, or rather at their infair on the day after their wedding. The infair which she attended was January 1, 1836. She was well acquainted with the family and knew that said mother Elizabeth Hollenback died in Hancock Co., OH on Nov. 18, 1856 [sic], was present at her bedside when she died, and attended her funeral.
In 1846 about the 12 June of that year my mother who is now deceased was at the home of George & Elizabeth Hollenback in Hancock Co., OH when their son Daniel was born; heard her mother speak of the birth of Daniel, and the affiant was at the Hollenback home in a few days thereafter and saw said son.
She listed her address as 500 Findlay St., Findlay, OH, and signed her name.
On 30 April 1890 Margaret Hollenback, age 67 of Findlay, Hancock Co., OH, age 67 filed an Affidavit. She states that George is her brother, hence has known him & his family from childhood, and knows that Daniel was a son of the applicant. She knows that Elizabeth is dead. She attended the Infair of said George Hollenback & Elizabeth on 1 Jan 1836.
Margaret signed with a mark, witnessed by C. Green and C.A. Stockton.
A record from the War Department shows that Daniel was a member of Co. G 21st OH Vols. He enrolled Dec 30, 1863 and died May 31, 1864 at New Albany, IN of typhis fever. He was a private. Medical records show him treated for diarrhea in April 1864 and for rheumatism in May 1864. He was ill with typhus fever from May 13 until his death on May 31.
On 3 April 1891 Charles Deatsman, 60, and Elizabeth Deatsman, 58, file an affidavit. They state they have known George for 31 years; were neighbors in Hancock Co., OH, and also knew his son Daniel. Daniel worked with his father at odd jobs and on land they rented or worked on shares. In 1862 claimant lived in Liberty, Hancock County; he remained there until 1869 when he moved to Sebewa. He owned no real estate or personal property. He married a widow in 1865 who had sufficient means to purchase and did purchase in Sebewa forty acres of very poor broken stoney land worth not to exceed $300. Their personal property was the plainest and cheapest kind, and who nobody could get along without. His income in the 1860s was never over $100 a year, if that much. When Daniel enlisted, his only help was gone, and he had a large family of children to support. We have also been his neighbors in Sebewa and we know he has had a hard time with rheumatism and lameness of shoulder and often worked when he was not able.
Signed Charles Deatsman and Elisabeth Deatsman.
On 12 August 1891 Catharine Green, 64, of Findlay, Hancock Ohio and Margaret Hollenback 68 of same filed an affidavit saying they knew Daniel before his enlistment and personally know that he was sound before his death. He left no widow, child or children. He was a single boy when he died.
Catharine Green signed; Margaret signed with her mark. Witnesses were O. A. Ball and Andrew Cramer.
A. J. Smith states he examined the tax duplicate of the return made by assessor's of Portage Township, Hancock Co., OH, and found the following for George Hollenback. For the years from 1862 through 1867, there are dollar amount shown, increasing each year beginning at $162. and ending with $390. He states there was no tax listed for the 1868.
On 4 Nov 1891 John Baked, age 27, Findlay, OH makes an Affidavit stating he is the recorder of deeds in and for Hancock Co., OH. He has carefully examined the records pertaining to deeds and transfers in said county and fails to find any sale or transfer of real estate made by the claimant, George Hollenback between the years 1863 & 1868.
On 16 Nov 1891 George Hollenback, age 78, of Sebewa, MI filed an Affidavit stating
1. he has made affidavit as to his place of residence and as to the members of my family in 1862;
2. I further declare that the real estate which has been assessed to me from 1869-1889 belongs to my second wife;
3. I cannot procure the testimony of any physician who treated me in 1864 and offer the testimony of Lafayette Miller, Catherine Green & Sam Bigham; also the testimony of Chas. & Elizabeth Deatsman to show I was nearly 50 years old when the boy enlisted.
4. I cannot procure the testimony of any witness of my marriage to the mother of said soldier and offer testimony of Margaret Hollenback & Catherine Green who were present at the infair after the ceremony. I refer to the testimony of said Catherine Green & Margaret Hollenback as to the fact that the said soldier was my son and for proof of the death of my first wife. I cannot get any record as to the birth of my son and no proof of nurse or doctor as they are dead.
5. I have provided testimony about the property assessed to me and about my income. I have also provided testimony that my son aided me in every possible way prior to his enlistment. After so many years I have no letters from the soldier, and declare that no person has been bound to support me since he died.
It is signed George Hollenback.
On 28 Jun 1892 Otto D. Sholtis, age 30 of Sebewa, MI filed an Affidavid stating he'd known George Hollenback for 10 years, and know that he died 8 Feb 1890 and left a widow and one minor child which must be about or over 16 years of age. I know his age based only on his appearance. I know that Mr. Hollenback was poor & dependent on his wife who has nothing except 40 acres of land upon which she lives worth about $600.00. It is very rough land and there is a mortgage of $400.00. They have no personal property worth mentioning. I have been all over the farm & know all about their property.
The file contained a Certified Copy of the marriage of George Hollenback to Ruth J. Smith. They secured a license on 25 Jan 1867 by A. W. Frederick, probate judge, in Hancock Co., OH and that a return was made stating they were married on 17 Jan 1867 by John Edgington, J. P.
On 27 Jul 1892 George W. Snyder, age 47, of Sebewa, MI filed an Affidavit, stating that he is a practicing physician. He attended George Hollenback during his last sickness and I know he died at his home in Sebewa on 8 Feb 1892. He was the husband of Mrs. Ruth J. Hollenback.
On 28 Jul 1892 Ruth J. Hollenback of Sebewa, age 59, filed an Affidavit stating she was the wife of George Hollenback who applied for a pension as father of Daniel. I attach proof of his death and proof of our marriage and ask the pension which is due the father of soldier Daniel. There are no children of the said father, my husband, under the age of 16.
Signed Ruth J. Hollenback
There was no Certificate number for this file, thus I assume that the pension was never granted.
The date obtained originally listed this marriage in Fairfield Co., OH. The LDS online data now shows this book from Hocking Co. I wonder if it was recorded twice, once in each county. In testimony given asking for a military pension based on their son Daniel's service, George stated they were married in Logan Co.

There is an interview posted on the Rootsweb Ionia Co. website. In it Ruth Jane's father is names as Jacob Collingham. I don't know where the person came up with that name, but all the records we find lead to her maiden name being David. Her father was Roswell David. She's on the census with him in Hancock Co., OH in 1850. Her first husband was Sylvester Smith.
In the same interview it is inferred that George and Ruth Jane had a daughter Mahala Hollenback. That, too, is incorrect. Mahala was the daughter of George's second wife, Fanny Isham & Nutter Whaley.

K.B. HOLLENBACK
The Hollenback's were found in Hancock County at least by1870 in Blanchard Twp[pg 54], where MARGARET Hollenback, who did not marry that I know of, was residing with her sister, Mary E. Downing. In 1880, she was residing with her sister Catherine Green [WFindlay pg 596]. She was in her 50's at this time.
I cannot find a family tie of Margaret to Mary E. Downing.
Somehow, she ties into K. B. HOLLENBACK who was residing in Pleasant Twp [pg 268] in 1910. His wife was IRENE HILL who died in 1913 and is buried in McComb. Two of their children were sons ORIE M. who died around 11-8-1969, and ROY C. HOLLENBACK who died in 1962 and is buried in McComb.
These Hollenback's tie into THOMAS HOLLENBACK who was believed to have been born about 1745 and died in 1809 in Hampshire County Virginia.
a very nice listing of some of his generations can be found at the message boards of rootsweb.com. dated 8-7-06.
George Downing:
By 1880 he had a new wife, Elizabeth. Mary E. died 27 Aug 1875 and is buried at Benton Ridge cemetery, Blanchard Twp., Hancock Co., OH.
His chilcren of 1880 include Florene 13, Cheter 11, and Summer 9. All of these children would be Mary E.'s children.

I cannot tell now where he [John Green] lived in 1860. When I went to his house he lived in Benton Ridge; he remained there awhile and then he moved out into the country just how far I cannot remember, but when he went to the army he lived on my grandfather's old place. The members of his family were John Green, Catherine, his wife, Thomas, Bigelow, William, Isaac, John, George, Sherman, their children, and myself…..
Catherine 47 OH
Sherman 4 OH [must be Luther of 1880]
She states that the only child under the age of 16 is Luther Sherman Green born on 22 Dec 1865. She stated her residence is Findlay, Hancock Co., OH and her postal address is the same. It is signed Catharine Green. Witnesses: Alva Ballard and Gage Carlin
There is a certified copy in the file from S. B. Huffman, Judge of Probate Court of Hancock Co., OH: "I hereby certify that on the 9th day of October A.D. 1842 I joined together in mariage John Greene and Catharine Hollenback. Signed by Price Blackford, J. R."
There is also a sworn statement from Thomas Ballard who stated he was acquainted with Catherine Green, widow of John Green and that he was the attending accoucheur at the birth of Luther Sherman Green, son of said Catherine and John Green. He further says that said Luther Sherman Green was born on 22 Dec 1865. Dated 11 Aug 1874
This file had so few papers, I believe some have been lost, misfiled or stolen. There are no papers showing she filed for in increase in 35 years, and no papers showing Luther Sherman Green's pension has been suspended due to attained age. There was a cover with Luther S. 21 Dec 1881. That must be the date his pension was finished.

Isaac M. Greene is the son of a veteran in more ways than one. His father was one of the first settlers of hancock county and one of those who scacrificed time, prospects and life for their country upon the field of battle. On the maternal side Isaac is descended from the Hollenbacks of Fairfield county, where both his parents were born. John Greene, the father was a farmer and sawyer who spent the best years of his manhood in leveling the forest and making the wilderness a fit place for civilization. When the struggle between the north and the south was on, he entered the Ond Hundred and Eighteenth Ohio Regiment of Volunteer Infantry for three years of active service. He lost his right arm in battle, and though small attention was paid to it at the time, he never fully recovered from the shock and in 1877 died from the effects of his wound. His wife Catherine is still alive. Seven of his nine children are living, four in Hancock county.
Based on this history, my list of his children is incomplete. Also, the cemetery listins shows he d in 1874, while this history lists 1877.
This regiment was organized at Cincinnati and Camp Mansfield from Sept. 12 to Nov. 7, 1862, to serve for three years. It moved with other troops toward Lexington, Ky., and at Cynthiana was detached to guard the railroad. It was similarly occupied during nearly the entire first year of its service and then moved into East Tennessee, receiving its baptism of fire at the battle of Mossy creek where it lost about 40 killed and wounded. The regiment was engaged in marching and counter-marching, with nothing of special interest occurring until the campaign of 1864, when in May it moved upon Dalton and from there advanced upon Resaca. At this place it participated in a charge upon the enemy's works and out of 300 men actually engaged it lost 116 in less than 10 minutes. After a few days' rest it engaged in the fierce battle of Dallas, bearing a gallant part. It was also engaged at Kennesaw mountain and in the final movements which occasioned the fall of Atlanta, losing in these latter operations about 75
men. At no time during the campaign, after June 1, did it number over 250 men and it was diminished at one time to 120. After the fall of Atlanta it fell back to Decatur, where it rested a short time and then joined in the pursuit of Hood. It participated in the battles of Franklin and Nashville and the pursuit of the retreating Confederates as far as Columbia. It then proceeded to North Carolina, where it participated in the capture of Fort Anderson, being the first regiment to plant its colors on the walls. It was engaged in the action at Town creek, and in the final movements against Gen. Johnston at Mosely Hall. It was mustered out on June 24, 1865.
His pension was approved immediately and without any physical examination required.

From family sheets provided by Anita Chardevoine Ashford Rees, son of the above Wm. D. Rees [Sr.],was the father of Wm. D. Rees. Her sheets show Ashford's wife was Susan McNary.
This story is about Reverend Samuel Umstot, born April 10, 1837, Hampshire Co., Virginia. He lived in Reeces Mill. He died July 18, 1923, Mineral Co., West Virginia, and is buried at Baptist Chapel Cem., Cabin Run, Mineral Co., West Virginia. He married Catherine Hollenback.
The story above coupled with the fact both Samuel Umstot and Wm. D. Rees were Trustees of the same church, indicate they were Baptists.
From the webside of Candace Buchanan:
Photograph of James Buchanon Rees - husband of 1) Elizabeth Furr & 2) Grace Sheetz, son of William Davis Rees & Harriet Ann Johnson.
William D. Reese & Hiram Alkire, supplied $1,000. bond on 24 Sep 1849.
The condition of the above obligation is such that if William D. Reese and Hiram Alkire, executors or administrators, shall well and truly pay to Susan Reese, orphan of [Ashford]? Reese, all such estate [etc] when orphan shall attain lawful age.

Deed dated 18 Aug 1861 - William D. Rees and Harriet Ann, his wife, sell to Samuel S. Flanagan all of Hampshire Co., VA for the sum of $180.00 a parcel of land in Hampshire Co. on the southeast side of Leaffy Ridge adjoining lands with Kesiah Hollenback, Okey Johnson, Samuel Umstot and the lands of the said William D. Rees and others [full description follows] containing 45 acres more or less...
Signed William D. Rees and Harriet Ann Rees
Attest: J. B. White
[at this point the writing has broken letters where there is no ink, so I'm guessing] it has something to do with the purchase money and additional costs of $14.00, I think. It's acknowledged that Mr. Wm. D. Rees has paid the whole of the purchase money. I believe it says the court ordered Mr. Abraham Johnson to deliver a deed to Wm. D. Rees for the meeting house and lot. Thus a deed is drawn by Abraham Johnson terminating all and every interest the said Wm. Welch and John Kern, Jr. had in the meeting house and lot. I can't read the year for the deed.
The property is fully described, or at least that which can be read is. There is something about Elijah Greenwell & Samuel Cockerell. It contains 64 square poles and is the tract Thomas Greenwell and wife conveyed to Elijah Greenwell by deed 16 Apr 1798 and recorded in Hampshire County.
Signed Abraham Johnson
I can't read the name of the Justice of the Peace who was the attest.
It was recorded in February 1873, which day I cannot read
Most of this book was written by the same copyist and is really difficult to read.
I have two further notes from the Mineral Co. records.
Also in Book 4 pg 316 dated 8 Feb 1873 William D. Rees & Harriet his wife sell land purchased in the deed above to Samuel Umstott, John Plucker?? And William D. Rees, Trustees of Patterson Creek Baptist Church for $1.00.
I believe I've figured it out. William D. Rees, Sr. was a minister. He bought the meeting house and lot for his church as a personal purchase. Then he sold it to the Trustees above. His wife was Harriet Johnson d/o Okey & Nancy Hollenback Johnson.
Died RINEHART--Sept 24th l900. at the home of Mr E J Taylor on Patterson's Creek,
Mrs Charity Rinehart, aged 81 years, widow of the late Elijah Rinehart. She was a member of the Presbyterian church and was a true and faithful christian. The funeral took place on Wednesday. The sermon was preached by Rev Mr Grillburtzer, assisted by Rev M W Woodworth. Interment at Eusebia church. The pallbearers were four grandsons of the deceased, viz: James I Rinehart, W E Rinehart, Elijah Rinehart, and Edgar Taylor. She
leaves five children--Mrs J S Rinehart of Jefferson county, W Va; Mrs Sue R Taylor of Chicago; Mrs E J Taylor of Reese's Mill; Mr John W Rinehart of Reese's Mill; and Mr E C Rinehart of Keyser.
"this woman reared her children in the nurture and adminition of the Lord; her outward adornment was not braided hair and jewels of gold, but the hidden man of the heart in the incorruptible apparel of a meek and quiet spirit which in the sight of God is worth a whole lot more.....
The Rinehart Home as I knew it, was a long low structure two stories high, with a front porch nearly along its whole length, with floors at two levels, L shaped with pantry and kitchen forming the L. It had a cellar under part of the newer portion where apples were kept in abundance and one, I think, under the [missing]. It had also at the front, on the lower porch, at the right hand end, its well of pure, cold water and a dairy of exquisite coolness where there seemed to be always an inexhaustible supply of rich milk and cream and the finest butter. Mrs. Rinehart was one of the the kind of women King Lemuel wrote about in the 31st chapter of Proverbs.
On Sunday noons Mr. Rinehart kept open house but chiefly for the numerous relatives who came by horseback and horse-drawn vehicles, particularly on sacramental occasions, many of them from some distance, the food was prepared ready on Saturday as far as might be, for the Rineharts did not believe in unnecessary Sunday work, neither did they take any stock in Sunday as a day to visit. The fare was plain, plentiful and substantial made chiefly from such materials as the farm provided. The Sunday evening meals, I remember, were plain mush and milk and fine clabber with sugar and rich cream. I learned to love them and love them still, and Mrs. Rinehart was a master hand with salt rising bread. It was thus a most hospitable home. It forgot not to show hospitality unto strangers. It hoped thereby to entertain strangers unaware as the scripture admonition runs.
This home was like the home of the great woman of Shunem. It had had its little chamber on the wall set apart and kept ready for preachers, and there the pastor lodged on his rounds and there he tarried so long as he desired. Over and over again I read in the diary of the Rev. William Henry Foote, 'Lodged at Elijah Rineharts'. Over and over again my father left the manse at Burlington Saturday afternoon with horse and buggy to go the 11 miles and to lodge over night in that small upper chamber. There was no stove in that uper chamber, but Mrs. Rinehart saw to it that there were heated bricks in the bed when the weather was cold. ....
Family prayers each evening at bedtime was the rule in that home and the service was not a lick and a promise. The Bible was laways near at hand in the sitting room. When the preacher came he merely took the old elder's place. The family sung the familiar old hymns and psalms well. The regular routine was a hymn of psalm, scripture and prayer and then to bed."
Charity wrote letters to her cousin Caroline "Carrie" Hollenback, daughter of Daniel and Sarah Roberts, who lived in Morefield from 1846 to the early 1870s. The originals were donated by Frances Carroll to the West Virginia Archives. She generously shared her copies with me, which are in my files.

This letter was written by Elijah Rinehart, younger brother of our Abraham. While not clearly stated, it was almost certainly written to Abraham or it is unlikely to have ended up in the family's possession and would not probably have mentioned his children's names. Enoch never left the "home country," so he is sending news from home. Abraham only lived another few months after this letter was received, so it is unlikely he ever made it back home, as requested here in the body of the letter.
A copy of the original, from which this is transcribed, was in the possession of Keith Shaver of Denver, Colorado. He graciously provided a copy by mail in June 2002. The handwriting of the original was pretty good:
Dec 8th 1880
Dear Brother,
I Recd. your letter about one week ago and pleased to learn from it of your good health, with the friends in general. To date we all are enjoying reasonable good health with the other relatives and friends in our community. While at the same time I have to communicate to you the sad news of the death of Mr. Edgar Taylor, Susies earthly prince and husband he died on Monday the 8th of Nove. of Typhoyd fever after 13 days suffering, he was not considered dangerously ill untill Saturday morning previous, when his physician gave up all hope of his recovery. Sister Sallie and myself went over on Sunday morning and staid with him until after his departure on Monday 3 oclock PM he was perfectly rational untill he breathed his last and so peacefully and calmly did he breathe his last that it was difficult to tell just when it was.
We had little Agnes over with us for 2 weeks on Sunday Evening Doctor said he couldnt live. Willie took horse and Buggy and came for Agnes he got home with her at 10 O.clock P.M.
Edgar took her on the bed and kissed her, the 2 days I were there I never saw such interest manifested by all the people of Keyser for his recovery and when the sad news was announced that Edgar Taylor's dead it came like a flash of lightning accompanied by a peal of Thunder all stood in amazement and wonder at the mysterious working of Providence.
Edgar Taylor was biloved by all in the church and out, in his death the wayword the thoutless & men of the world were brought to feel & act different from what they did before.
Edgar and Willie had just gotten their business in a nice shape for doing in the future a paying business having adopted the cash system and building up a large trade. Susie will adm and Willie and her carry on the mercantile business. They have a large stock of good goods on hand and have them all invoyced.. I will send you the Keyser Tribune haveing the obituary notice of his death, not knowing whether you take the paper or not.
Brother M. J. A. Marker died some 2 months ago without any estate for to make the money due you he owed Fathers Estate 500$ with judgement thereon and not able to make it therefore I suppose that yours with others will be on the loss side.
Jennie left the next day after her marriage they visited relatives in Philadelphia, Balt. and Washington spending a week we had a letter from her 2 days ago they were well. Some 2 weeks ago we had very Cold weather with snow, it changed got warm rained snow melted and Sunday the Creek was just in the banks Monday it changed again yesterday it was extremely colde this morning commenced snowing & up to noon today about 7 in Closed up and wind blowing furiously and snow drifting with a fair prospect of mercury going below zero to night. Mr. Clymer the Presbyterian minister from Keyser came over Monday Eve he and John went hunting yesterday and killed a 3 prong Buck, today they went out again Clymer had a shot at 4 deer but missed them they got in a flock of turkeys while in pursuit of the deer. John came home a 3 o'clock leaving Clymer in pursuit of the Turkeys, therefore we shall not look for him before dark.
The Lease Boys are getting along slowly they neither go to Church or contribute to any object of benevolence or attend any burial of friends or foes if they lived in the darkest portion of Africa they would hear the gospel as often as they do here. Brother my family has become quite small, all married escept Willie & I do not know of any immediate prospect, but should such a thing occur & you and I are liveing I will surely send you word in time to be present. But I wold rather you would come before that time as it may never come there is a fair prospect for a wedding at the stone house in January Susie Reese and Mr. Frank Herriott. I think that is a fixed fact. Our crop of corn is good worth 50 cts wheat 1.16. Hay 15 to 18$ per ton. pork 5 1/2 to 6$ per @ wt. nett. Tell Stephen Mr. Inskeep pd me 5$ for him on taxes for which I gave him credit on my books give him family my love also Elijah and family Enoch and family Mr. Hawk and family and all the families connected. I would be glad to get a letter from any them when convenient.
Write me again soon
all join me in love to you
Yours affectionately
Elijah Rinehart

Elizabeth, #60 married Silas Taylor, son of Daniel and Sarah Larue. Silas was an uncle to Alfred Taylor who married Caroline [dau of Daniel Hollenback and Sarah Ann Roberts, from Frances Carroll]
It isn't clear to me whether Silas Hook or Silas Taylor is the appointed guardian. I do not have a daughter by this name as daughter to John Flanagan. Upwards of 14 means to me that she would have been born before 1834. I entered her as the daughter of John & his first wife, Eleanor/Ellen Rees.
There was a pevious guardianship for this same child on 16 Nov 1845. Kesiah Lambert, Thomas Carskadon & Ephariam Herriott gave bond of $3000 as guardians for Eliza Catherine Flanagan, orphan of John Flanagan.
