Note: One of Joseph Hanna's sons, John Hanna, followed his cousin, Robert Hanna, to Indiana Territory and settled in what is now Union county. To distinguish him from Robert's son John he was nicknamed "Long" John Hanna. He was a Hercules in size and height. He had six sons, four of whom married four Crawford sisters. His grandson Washington Hanna (called "Big Wash") remained in possession of the old homestead until his death, September 1904. He was very wealthy and took great pride in fine stock, fine clothing, fine equipages and farmed with all the modern improvements. He erected a monument in his family lot in the Presbyterian cemetery in Dunlapsville at an expense of five thousand dollars | Hanna, George Washington (I25791)

David Eby was son of Jacob Eby (1797) and Susannah Myers/Meyer. Peter, Jacob, Samuel, Susannah and John were named in the petition.
Jacob took into his care 3 of 5 children (Peter Susannah and John), (now everybody assumed these 3 children were Jacob and Susannah's children, when in fact they were GRANDCHILDREN!). George Swine (Schwein/Swane) was named guardian of all these children. George's wife Mary Long was sister of Annie Long. Jacob and Susannah eventually moved to Stephenson co., Illinois, taking grandchildren with them. No trace of Peter and Susannah after 1850. John showed up in 1860 census and no trace after that.
Jacob the boy was found living with cousin Jacob (1806) (wife Charlotte). This Jacob is son of Henry Eby and Elizabeth Rachel Rhoads. Henry was brother of Jacob (1797). A review of death certificates, showed Jacob's middle name was Q., per wife's death certificate.
Samuel is found living in Cromwell with John and Catharine Glack in 1850. John apparently remarried, wife being Mary after 1850. No trace of Samuel since then.
Only Jacob Q. Eby continued to 1909 when he died.
A review of many sites containing these families revealed a error. All assumed Peter, Susannah and John were sons of Jacob and Susannah, when in fact they were their grandchildren after their son David's death.
Same is true for Jacob who was assumed to be son of Jacob and Charlotte, and in reality, their young cousin.David Samuelsen

Today, received death certificate from Pennsylvania for Jacob O/P/Q Eby
The disparity in middle name is crazy.
Census says Jacob Q. Eby
Gravemarker says Jacob O. Eby
Death Certificate says Jacob P. Eby
Jacob was born 10 Jan 1842 Shirley, Huntingdon, Pennsylvania to David Eby and Annie Long (per death certificate)
Died 11 Dec 1909 Altoona, Blair, Pennsylvania
Adminstration paper was filed 8 November 1849 for David Eby's estate,naming Jacob Eby and Samuel McVitty as administrators along with George Eby and George Jackson as sureties
Orphan's Court docket index mentioned guardianship paper filed for David's children (note the purality). It said Vol 5 page 90, and it has not been located yet.
Samuel mcvitty is identified as born 4 Nov 1815 in Shirleysburg, PA to Thomas McVitty and Mary Cook, wife was Esther McKinstry.
Jacob Eby is likely born 1807, to Benjamin Eby and Sarah Salome Baer;wife, Charlotte.
Jacob Eby is closest match to being father of David. Evidence is lacking.
Jacob Eby has Jacob Eby aged 8 in 1850 census. It is not known if it is his own son or if it is his grandson Jacob O/P/Q Eby because of the ages of other Eby's living in the household, in Hamilton, Franklin, Pennsylvania.
As for David's wife, Annie Long, she may be daughter of Christian Long who died in 1848 in Shirley.
Any information is appreciated to point in correct direction.
Anyone have full list for Germany Valley Cemetery where these Eby's are buried?

From Denise LAHR:
This is a tale of three neighboring families in Old Warwick Township: the Erismans, Habeckers and Ebys.
Melchior Erisman?s wife, Edith, followed through on a survey her deceased husband had obtained in 1728 for 204 acres and bought the rights to an adjacent warranted and surveyed parcel of 334 acres. On Feb. 20, 1740 she obtained patents for both parcels, making her a landed woman with 538 acres that included Pine Hill and lands on both sides of the Hammer Creek.
Meanwhile, George Eby, son of Theodorus, obtained his warrant for 150 acres southeast of the Erisman parcels along the same creek in 1733. In 1760 it was patented to Christian Eby, his eldest son.
Edith Erisman died. Daughter Magdalena had married Christian Eby, son of George. Her sisters, Anna, Barbara, and Elizabeth had married Jacob and Joseph, and John Habecker, respectively.
Anna (Erisman) and Jacob Habecker got 207 acres, consisting of most of the Pine Hill section of the warrant
Barbara (Erisman) and Joseph Habecker resided in Manor Township.
Flash forward to 1789 when Jacob Habecker died. He left a very controlling will (F-1-105) dated 1784: His only son, Jacob Habecker Jr. was given 170 acres. Daughter Elizabeth was to get the other 100 acres together with ?a locked chest with all its contents and no one else is allowed to search the same. She also got the remaining 100 acres and a good ?bed.? By the time of probate, Elizabeth was married to Jacob ?Old Jock? Eby. The children had the land resurveyed and found an additional 80 acres!
Meanwhile, in 1890, Christian Eby, sold the Eby 150 acres to Jacob Shaeffer, and that land passed out of the family. Son? Old Jock? didn?t need it because he had land from his wife.
Old Jock and Elizabeth had three sons: Abraham, Daniel and Jacob (Grobschmeid). The boys appointed a group of trusted neighbors to divide up the land ?according to the places where they now live.?
Here?s where Hannes Eby saved the day. Abraham?s only son, Jacob (what else), died young in 1841. He left a widow, Susanna (Grube), and a daughter, Fianna, 11 months old when he died.
After that, Abraham gave his share to brother Jacob (Grobschmeid) and moved west to Sugar Creek, Ohio. His wife was called Catherine in the deed, which threw me a bit, because her gravestone says Maria C. It turns out that she was literate and signed her name in Old German ?Catarina Maria.? Thank goodness I learned to read that stuff.
Daniel, I believe, went to Allen County, Indiana. Fortunately, I am going to Indiana in March and can research there.
Anyway, by 1845, all but Jacob had skedaddled west. Jacob remained behind and died in 1858. The property went to his son, John. [I believe there was another son, David, who went west to Sugar Creek and Uncle Abraham.] John left a son, Jacob who died in 1935.
That?s the broad strokes. It needs a lot more work.....
.....I will be putting it into a much more formal format with sources. Maybe even a paper for the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society. Meanwhile you have the gist of it.
When working on Hannes Eby, I was dreadfully afraid of making mistakes. And I'm sure I did make some, but I always tried to say only what I was pretty darn sure of......
....In my work on this, I have also been forced to look at Jacob Eby's family, and I will be trying to sort out more of what happened to George Eby's other descendants.
I can't wait to get to Indiana and Ohio now.

At the beginning of the 19th century, industrialization, urbanization, and immigration contributed to the explosive growth of New York City. Accompanying this growth was a burgeoning underclass of convicts, the poor, the sick, and the insane. A policy of institutionalization was adopted to manage this group. In 1828, New York City purchased an island in the East River from the Blackwell family to build a jail and an asylum. When it opened in 1839, the asylum on Blackwell?s Island was New York?s first publicly funded mental hospital and the first municipal mental hospital in the United States.
It was designed to be a state-of-the-art institution based on the theories of moral treatment. Fundamental to its success was an organized and orderly environment. Although in the past, little effort was made to differentiate between types of mental illness, according to the tenets of moral treatment, such distinctions were imperative. As Dr. John McDonald, a physician involved with the design of the new asylum, wrote, ?The indiscriminate mingling of the mild and furious, clean and filthy, convalescent and idiotic, need only be witnessed to be deprecated.? He continued: ?Classification is now justly considered by almost all persons of experience of the first importance in the treatment of insanity? (1). He suggested that patients be divided into four specific classes: the ?noisy, destructive, and violent,? ?the idiots,? ?the convalescents,? and an intermediate class for ?those in the first stages of convalescence and such incurables (who) are harmless and not possessed of bad habits? (2). In addition to classification, moral treatment emphasized the human rather than beast-like nature of the insane. The design for the new asylum was free of barricades and iron bars and allowed for easy access to the outdoors.
But this model asylum was never built. Because of financial constraints, only two wings were completed and almost immediately proved inadequate. Even more disturbing, convicts from the nearby penitentiary were used as guards and attendants, so that in the words of Dr. Thomas Kirkbride, the patients were ?abandoned to the tender mercies of thieves and prostitutes? (3).
Thousands of the city?s poor mentally ill were admitted to the asylum between 1839 and 1895, and the press?s fascination with the institution and its inhabitants grew intense during those years. Local newspapers, including the New York Times and Harpers Weekly, provided weekly running accounts of the asylum?s most intriguing characters. Some achieved celebrity-like status, such as the elderly woman known as ?Mrs. Buchanan.?
Most people have heard of Mrs. Buchanan. She is one of the incurables?a poor old lady?Scotch I imagine?who has been an inmate of the lunatic asylum for years. Her delusion has been described in the papers. She believes she is the wife of the President and discharges her conjugal duties with such success that she bears a large family to the President. Strange to say, the offspring of her lofty amours are invariably cats. I had the honor of stroking the back of President Buchanan?s eldest son who purred as though his sire had no political difficulties to disturb his repose. (4)
Newspapers were filled with grim tales of madness, mistreated patients, wretched conditions, and wrongful confinement. In 1879, an article titled ?Tormenting the Insane? appeared in the New York Times describing appalling cases of neglect. In 1887, Elizabeth Cochrane Seamen, aka Nellie Bly (1866?1922), a journalist for the New York World, feigned insanity to gain admission to the asylum on Blackwell?s Island. She wrote a series of shocking articles for the newspaper and a book. She described it as a ?human rat-trap? that could drive the sanest people crazy (5).
In the wake of the scathing report, administrative changes followed, but the image of the asylum as a human rat trap lingered. The half-built, overcrowded, convict-supervised asylum was a symbol for the unrealized goals and the blatant failures so extensively covered in the press. The New York City Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell?s Island closed in 1894. All that remains of it today is a domed octagonal structure that once stood as the centerpiece of the institution.

"To all whereas now know you that I the said Richard Bennett Esquire give and grant unto Robert West seven hundred acres of land lying upon the branches of Baylies Creek in Charles City County toward the south side of the head of the said creek bounded as followeth south by east by James Warrentines land commonly called and known by the name of High Poahoe now in the occupation of Mister William Dibby and Robert Lanyman East by North along in the woods having the westerly and southerly branch running through the said land The said land being due to Captain Robert West by and for the transportation of fourteen persons To have and to hold Failing on paying which payment is to be made seven years after the first grant or selling thereof and not before provided Dated the 2nd of August 1652
Robert West, Susanna West, John West, Daniel Evans, Nancy Bowman, Mary Owen, Samuel Geringer, Henry Wentworth, Jane Connelly, Robert Ebernathell, John Coppin, George Willett, Jeffrey Phillips, John Reeves"
It looks like all the people transported had common surnames still in use in America today except for Robert Ebernathell a.k.a. Robert Abernathy the "immigrant". I don't know why he Robert Abernathy still used Scottish Gaelic spelling and was the only person who did. The land grant above was pretty hard to transcribe.There are no punctuation marks except there are some random marks here and there in the original record made by the county clerk. I don't think those county clerks wanted anyone writing on their records. I guess they used goose feathers and ink instead of a computer. In my May 19, 2009 message #2983 on this Abernathy Genforum message board I had Sam Jeringoe for Samuel Geringer above, John Coppage for John Coppin and Ham Wentworth for Henry Wentworth. Looks like this land could be located on a map. Would they transport prisoners of war with women and children assuming that John West is a child of Robert and Susanna West and who was the crew on the ship? I still don't know if "High Poahoe" above is accurate and it is likely that the women weren't prisoners of war and were not in chains. I doubt if anyone was in chains. These people came from Scotland or England on a ship to what is now Prince George County Virginia in the year 1652. Prince George County was formed from Charles City County in 1703.
I would like to get these names above as accurate as possible because someone might come along one of these years and know exactly who these people were and exactly where they came from. I do not know what happened to any of these 14 people except for Robert Ebernathell (Abernathy) and not that much about him. I think it would be very interesting to know what happened to these people in America and who they were in the old country (Scotland - England - Ireland probably). Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Margaret has unearthed records that exactly locate the 100 acres first purchased by our immigrant, Robert Abernathy. It somehow later became a gift to the Merchant's Hope Church (Blackwater, VA) and if you google it, you can clearly see the cemetery as it now is. It's not on the James River Road itself (highway 10), but on the Merchant's Road (Hwy 641) that heads south-west from the James River Rd. All in all, it's about a mile from the James River on the south side of the River in Prince George County.

I did google Merchant's Hope Cemetery like you said and got the street view and it looks like our Robert 1 and Sarah Abernathy had a nice place to live so that's good. It was a very long time ago but it seems like yesterday when you are doing genealogy and that they will show up any time. So the church and cemetery are actually on their original 100 acres of land and they must have been very proud. I would have been. Thank you.

I am confused. I have Wayland Abernathy born 1917 the son of Robert (Buddie) Abernathy and Millie Strickland. I did some searching for Buddie and I find the following:

Check out ancestry.com and search for my family tree under Abernathy. I'm traveling Today but I'll check back with you later this evening.
Sent from my iPhone
It has the same DOB and DOD as I have for my Buddie but this death certificate states his parents are John Abernathy and Celia Hedgepeth. Is the Death Certificate NOT the correct one for Buddie? It states his wife was Millie.... DO I have Buddie attached to the incorrect parents?
Mila
I'll have to check with my Dad. There are questions about my Great-Grandfather. The tombstone in Spring Hope, NC says 'R.B. Abernathy.' He is buried next to Millie and their daughter Janice had her ashes spread at the foot of their graves.
The confusion comes from the fact that one of my Uncle's, Christopher Ira, gets his middle name from his Grandfather. My Dad remembers the name Ira Bo from his childhood, but only remembers his Grandfather being called R.B. or
Buddie.
Any of that help?
Wayland 3
Well, I am confused as to whether I had the correct information about Robert E Abernathy son of Caleb and Martha. I had him married to Millie Strickland
with Iva DOB 1906, Thomas DOB 1910 and Wayland DOB 1917 as their children BUT I have been going through the census records for Caleb and Martha and following Robert along with those census records.
They CLEARLY state as follows:
1900 Census Ironton, Lincoln, North Carolina as Robert E ABERNETHY
1910 Census Ironton, Lincoln, North Carolina as Robert E ABERNATHY
1920 Census Ironton, Lincoln, North Carolina as Robert E ABNERTHY; single
1930 Census Ironton, Lincoln, North Carolina as Robt E ABERNATHY; single
1940 Census Ironton, Lincoln, North Carolina as Robert E ABERNATHY; single
living with his nephew Ted ABERNATHY
In all of these records he states he is single. I think what I am trying to say is this Robert, the son of Caleb and Martha is not Buddie. I think I had two Roberts confused. But that leave the question that are you sure Caleb and Martha are your BUDDIES parents? I am now going searching to your Buddie or R B ABERNATHY and his wife and see if I can find who his parents are according to census records. I do see a census record for 1910 Mannings, Nash, North Carolina (this is the person I had previously thought was the Robert, son of Caleb and Martha) so I will see where that takes me and get back to you. SOON.

Cold Off the Presses: the murder of Carter Deatherage
By Laura Bien
Farmhand ?Cap? Deatherage woke from a stupor.
He blinked and squeezed shut his eyes a few times. The barn?s hayloft was cold. Snow was falling outside the loading door.
Deatherage stretched and slowly sat up. Farm work was over for the season; he?d have to overwinter in Ypsilanti.
As he shuffled to the hayloft ladder, his foot hit an empty whiskey bottle.
It was the Friday after Thanksgiving, 1932.
A few hours later, in a dingy Ypsilanti ?dance hall,? Deatherage ?ate, drank, and danced during the afternoon hours,? said the Dec. 1, 1932 Ypsilanti Daily Press. He ?drank excessively and finally lost consciousness. He fell across a dirty bed in the living quarters of the dance hall, where he slept as [several people] shuffled about in their dances without benefit of music.?
Next morning, at 8:15 a.m., Ypsilanti South Side resident William Jones headed for the well in the back of his yard to get water. He walked past his chicken pen and a few dead tomato stalks sticking out of the snow. What he found at his well led to an investigation and trial that dominated city news for almost two weeks and caused an uproar in Jones? neighborhood, called ?The Hill.?
In an area roughly enclosed by Hamilton, Michigan Avenue, and the modern-day I-94, stood streets of small homes alternating with run-down houses serving as blind pigs and so-called ?dance halls.? The neighborhood held a tense mixture of struggling poor residents and a shifting population of drifters and criminals, who preyed on their more settled neighbors.
Jones? ?chicken yard has been robbed, on several occasions attempts have been made to enter his house; everything has to be kept under lock and key,? said the Dec. 1 Ypsilanti Daily Press. ??The Hill? is getting to be a place where respectable residents are obliged to carry arms. Three times in the last two years Mr. Jones has shot into the air to frighten away intruders.?
This morning was far worse. Jones found a dying man at the well. His body lay on blood-soaked snow. Tire tracks led from the road to the well and back. The man?s overcoat was torn up the back seam and his collar, shirt, and pants were ripped. As Jones approached, the man groaned. ?By marks easily distinguishable, it is certain that the man was slashed at the spot where he was found,? reported the Nov. 26 Press. ?He had been fiendishly attacked and a portion of his flesh was found 10 feet from the body.? Jones called the police. The man was taken to Beyer Hospital with bruises and lacerations, a possible broken skull, broken neck and jaw and severe loss of blood. There he died.
During a search of the man?s clothing, officers found the title and keys to an old Model T. The title indicated the car had been transferred to a Carter Deatherage, from an Ed Wagner in Dundee. Police chief Ralph Southard contacted Wagner and found that Wagner had bought the car from a Glen Evert, who in turn had bought it from a Mr. Sedimier. A clue came when an acquaintance of Sedimier's told police that a man matching the victim?s description had worked for Milan-area farmer William Woolsey. Police found that Woolsey?s son?s employee, farm laborer Charles Garner, had seen the car?s owner two days earlier.
Police arranged for Garner to view the body, which was undergoing an autopsy in Ann Arbor at the University Hospital. Garner confirmed that the body was that of Carter Deatherage. Garner told police that he?d seen Deatherage on Thanksgiving Day, visibly drunk and complaining that he?d been beaten by a woman. Deatherage apparently had no local relatives with whom to spend the holiday. He slept in John Woolsey?s barn on Thanksgiving night, said Garner, and disappeared some time on Friday.
Police learned that on Friday, Deatherage had driven to Ypsilanti and returned to John Woolsey?s farm with Hill resident O.D. Hall. At the farm, they collected Deatherage?s clothing and the run-down trailer he had lived in, which Deatherage gave to Hall. Deatherage had arranged to overwinter in Ypsilanti, in a shack on the Hill?s Watling Street. Returning to Ypsilanti, Deatherage dropped off Hall. He bought some meat and headed for an abandoned house that now served as a dance hall at First and Jefferson. Already drunk, he wanted a ?feed? and more liquor.
On the afternoon of the discovery of Deatherage?s body, police took Hall in for questioning along with three other Hill residents: a white woman, Ellen Harvey, and African Americans Tom Britten and Frank Powell. Powell lived near and used to own the dance hall where Deatherage spent Friday afternoon. Recently released from the Detroit House of Correction for a liquor violation, Harvey was described by police chief Ralph Southard as Powell?s housekeeper. Hall was released on Saturday afternoon, but the other suspects remained in custody over the weekend.
By Monday, Nov. 28, after questioning the suspects, police learned that Deatherage had spent Friday afternoon in the dance hall. He was with Britten, Tom Kersey, Ed Talbert, and Talbert?s half-brother Carey Hunt, also known as Casey Baylis, who was the current owner of the dance hall. Baylis had been released from the county jail on Thanksgiving after serving 10 days for disorderly conduct. The men told police that Deatherage had passed out drunk and slept for most of the afternoon, and had left at 5 pm. Britten and Powell insisted that Ellen Harvey had not been there.
By now police had found that Deatherage was a former Army private in the 125th infantry. He had entered the army in 1918 and was honorably discharged a year later after fighting in France. Police also found that Deatherage had a brother Arthur, living on Terminal Avenue in Detroit. Arthur traveled to Ypsilanti for questioning. He disagreed with the police?s theory that the crime was due to jealousy over a woman. Before returning to Detroit, Arthur said, according to the Monday, Nov. 28 Press, that ?his brother had shown no interest in women since he became involved with one accused of burning his home in Virginia.?
On Monday afternoon, Deatherage was buried in Highland Cemetery. ?There will be no mourners as the brother from Detroit is destitute and unable to finance a second trip to Ypsilanti,? said the Press. ?The expense of the funeral is taken from the county fund for soldier?s burial. Brief rites will be conducted at the grave and there will be no pallbearers.?
On Tuesday, Nov. 29, the police again questioned Powell, Britten and Harvey. They also brought into custody and questioned Casey Baylis. ?Their stories did not coincide and all repeatedly were trapped in lies,? said the Tuesday, Nov. 29, Press, ?but up to a late hour this afternoon, officers had been unable to obtain an admission of guilt. . .?
Contrary to Britten and Powell?s earlier testimony, Ellen Harvey said she had indeed been at the dance hall, but left at 5:45 p.m. She said that Deatherage had been there. Britten, late on Monday, amended his story to say that Deatherage had been at the hall until 7 p.m., instead of 5. On Tuesday, he changed his story again, to say that Deatherage had been there until some time between 10 p.m. and midnight. Britten was grilled throughout Tuesday by police officers and prosecutor A.J. Rapp. Officers also combed the crime scene. ?Deatherage was not killed, officers are certain, on the Jones property. Automobile tracks near the pump house, and blood at the roadside, indicate he was brought there after the first attack had been made,? said the Tuesday, Nov. 29, Press. ?If he was killed in the [dance hall], it had been well cleaned up before officers arrived. . . Robbery is now considered the likely motive. Deatherage had money and had been spending it for liquor during the day. Police believe the gruesome lacerations about his abdomen may have been an afterthought, in an effort to send investigators off on a false clue.?
On the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 30, Britten confessed to murder. His confession detailed the last night of Deatherage?s life. Britten said that he, Baylis, and Deatherage had been in the dance hall late into the evening. Baylis urged Britten to rob Deatherage. But robbery wasn?t the motive for the attack, claimed Britten. It was because Deatherage had flung a racial epithet to ?the men of the race he had been taught to command at his home in the South,? said the Dec. 1 Press.
Britten said Deatherage left the dance hall around midnight. As Britten followed him down the steps, he picked up a cudgel about 3 feet long. Britten said he followed Deatherage to the well and struck him twice, once on his head with the cudgel and once with his hand. ?It is the opinion of Prosecuting Attorney Rapp that Britten, who is known to have a violent temper, struck Deatherage more than twice,? said the Wednesday, November 30 Press. ?Officers describe Britten as of a ?mean? disposition and recalled that on one occasion he had bitten a piece out of the arm of his wife, Edith. He has been arrested for desertion of her and their children and for disorderliness, but has not previously been implicated in a major crime. He has lived in Ypsilanti practically all his life.?
On Wednesday, after signing his confession, Britten was taken to court. Pleading guilty, he was sentenced to life imprisonment in a Marquette prison. Baylis, who with Britten was jointly charged with the murder, pleaded not guilty. He headed to trial.
Baylis? Ann Arbor attorney, Louis Burke, told Ann Arbor?s Judge Sample that the law allowed for a 10-day waiting period before the trial and that he needed time to prepare a defense. ?Judge Sample stated that he was absolutely not in sympathy with delays and that it was his policy to mete out swift, sure justice,? said the Thursday, Dec. 1, Press, ?but because of the legal technicalities cited by Baylis? attorney, he allowed him until Saturday morning to determine at what time the case should be heard.? Ellen Harvey was to be a witness. She did not face charges but did not make a favorable impression. The Thursday Press reported that ?arrangements are being made to keep her from remaining in Ypsilanti.?
Thursday?s paper also contained an article headlined ?Colored People of City Want "The Law" to Clean Drifters Out Of ?The Hill?.?
The article attributed trouble on The Hill as due to transient residents ?asking no questions, giving and taking what they have or can find or steal in the way of food or clothing ... Mr. Jones hopes the [murder, an] outgrowth of moonshine whiskey and disreputable mingling of the races, will bring about the needed reform. The respectable Ypsilanti colored people have had enough.?
Two days later, the paper published a plea from Hill residents for Ypsilanti police to clean up the area. Chief of police Ralph Southard agreed to monitor the neighborhood and responded by asking residents to watch their neighborhoods and inform police of suspicious characters. Three days later, Bertha Robinson was banned from the city after creating a disturbance at another dance hall, and sent home to Flint. The watchfulness continued. The Dec. 30 Press reported that police were patrolling The Hill and questioning strangers to make sure they had legitimate business there.
On Monday morning, Dec. 12, five witnesses testified in the Baylis trial. First was farmhand William Garner. He described his identification of the slain man and speculated as to how much money Deatherage had had on his person. After Garner, Dr. F.B. Williamson described being called to Beyer Hospital to tend to the dying man. Next was Dr. E.C. Ganzhorn, Ann Arbor coroner. He corroborated Williamson?s description of the injuries, described the autopsy procedure, and gave as cause of death concussion of the brain and loss of blood.
Next on the witness stand came two officers, Coy Rankin and Ernest Maddux. The men described the scene where they?d found Deatherage and called an ambulance.
Shortly before noon, testimony was given by Tom Kersey, who lived in Casey Baylis?s dance hall. He said Deatherage asked Hall for help in moving his trailer to Ypsilanti. Kersey said he ended up going as well, along with Britten, Baylis, and Talbert, to the spot where the trailer had been left by the side of the road. Later, at the dance hall, Kersey testified he had been called, by a person and for a reason he didn?t name, into the rear section of the hall where Baylis had living quarters, at about 10:30 or 11 p.m. He denied that he went there for liquor. Ellen Harvey followed him on the witness stand and testified that she had been at the dance hall and had had two drinks while there.
The following morning, Tuesday Dec. 13, Sheriff Jacob Andres offered testimony about a new confession Britten had given the day before. The officer said Britten claimed that Baylis had helped Britten commit the crime. Prior to this claim, Baylis had been regarded only as an accessory. Andres reported that Britten confessed that both he and Baylis had pursued Deatherage. Baylis, said Britten, had a broken ax handle and he himself had a club; they had killed Deatherage together. According to Britten, Baylis then gave his knife to Britten and told him to disfigure the body. Baylis stole $38 from the body and gave Britten $3. Britten threw his club into the night. The two returned to the dance hall, where Baylis hid the ax handle under some potatoes and apples in a bin. They talked over the crime for three hours, agreed to keep quiet, and went to sleep.
Britten next took the stand. He described the movements of all the people who had been at the dance hall Friday night. Other witnesses on Tuesday included George Randall and William Dailey, who were two deputies of Sheriff Andres; William Woolsey, justice Jay Payne; who had first examined Baylis; and chief of police Ralph Southard, who said he had found Baylis?s stick hidden in the dance hall.
With testimony concluded, after closing arguments the case went to the jury on Thursday, Dec. 15. ?It was decided not to force the jury to remain in the courthouse overnight,? said the Dec. 16 Ypsilanti Daily Press, ?when it was discovered that beds kept in the building for that purpose were coated with nearly an inch of dust.? Twenty-four hours later, the jury returned a verdict: not guilty.
The sad and sordid case was apparently over, but questions remain.
Why did Baylis and Britten insist that Ellen Harvey was not at the dance hall on the Friday Deatherage was there, although she herself said she was?
Why were there tire tracks leading to the well house, and blood on the snow some distance from the well house, when Britten said he had been ?following Deatherage [on foot] to the vacant lot where the well is located, [and] struck him . . .?? The Nov. 26 Press had reported ?It is evident by tracks that Deatherage was not killed near the spot where he was found. . . he had been apparently carried from a [car] to the side of the small well house.? William Jones reported hearing a car ?pass his house, turn the corner, and stop? between 4:30 and 5 a.m. on Saturday morning but didn?t bother to investigate.
Why did police not search Deatherage?s Model T? Where was the car? Although Deatherage had a set of keys on his person, suggesting that without them no one could drive his car, it was not only possible but easy to hotwire Model Ts, or, for the older models, jjuryrig a substitute key. When Deatherage came to town on Friday, with money and presumably a car, did the impoverished criminals on The Hill view him as easy pickings for car and bankroll theft?
Deatherage?s existence was grim, lonely, and short. It must be hoped that, in death, after his hardscrabble life, he at last found peace.

The only reason why I don't have any other children listed is the census
records only go through 1940 and Jack Jr was born in 1935 so he was on the
1940 census. So I am assuming that you and your other brother were born
after 1940 or in late 1940 as the census was taken early 1940. Since Jack
Sr passed away in 1949 it would have been before that.
I did check births for Tennessee and found no birth records for Jack Sr and
Sarah Rion' s children.
Again, I would be happy to add anything you would like to send to make this
family more accurate. I am sorry you seem to be unhappy about my lack of
information but sometimes information is just not there for someone to find.
Mila Eby Bernethy
It doesn't matter - we know who we are - just happened by accident to see
it and could not believe that if one child's birth records were found why
the others weren't - it is totally inaccurate - there are two other
children - I am the only child still alive - lots of beautiful
grandchildren and great grandchildren - we have kept rather good records
on this family form many generations - at least 3 back and 2 forward now.

Well, I do not mean to be inaccurate but I can only document what I know
and I knew nothing of any other children. I would be happy to add
anything you would like to send me. The more information the better!

(4) The first settler on Dutch Hill was a native of CT, Lemuel Wallbridge who was located, as early as 1812, near its top. That year, Christian Shelp, originally from NY, and of Dutch descent, came from Milford, and bought of Dr. Rose four hundred acres, just below Mr. Wallbridge. Henry Pruyne, father-in-law of Mr. Shelp, accompanied the latter from Great Bend, where he had settled 2 years previously. He was a soldier of the Revolution and a pensioner. His death occurred in 1843, and that of his wife, Rachel, the following year, at the age of 81.
Charles Davis, a son-in-law of Mr. Shelp, came in about the some time and settled near him. The sons of Christian Shelp were John, Nathaniel, Henry, Christian, Jr. (actually the 3rd), and Stephen. The Shelps were the first of the Dutch families in Jessup. Henry S. now lives on the same place where his father lived 40 years ago.
Dutch Hill is noted for its famous yields of maple sugar.
The improvement of Doctor Turrell (Fairdale) (before mentioned) was just below Mr. Shelp's. It was purchased by the Wallbridges (Lemuel and son Henry), and sold by them to John Robertson; the lot being the southern limit of the lands of R. H. Rose.
1870 census: Retired farmer.
Will. 8-13-1881 On file under Susquehanna County Historical Society. "To my wife Hannah Shelp the use of my property both real and personal during her natural life so far as she needs for her maintenance and support." Executers HC, CM,and CC Shelp.
From the Commemorative Biographical Record: "...he and his brother Henry cut the first bridle path between the farm and Fairdale"
1880 census LDS. The ages for Christopher and Hannah are right for Christian and Hannah but wrong for son Christopher who was married. ???? Next two entries for neighbors were Ezekiel (Ezkel) and George (Georg). Looks as though the enumerator was careless. George Green (Maria Shelp and Ida Shelp), Jacob Andre (Anna Shelp), Freeman P. Shelp and Henry Shelp were also neighbors.

Christian,Jr. and Henry Pruyne both moved from Charlestown, NY (In various places Christian is said to have moved from New Milford) to Dutch Hill in 1812. Bought 400 acres from Dr. Rose next to Wallbridge property. Both buried in Fair Hill cemetery.
From DAR manual, p.62: Christian Shelp (1760-1825) served a private under Captains Snooks, Yates, and McMasters, Colonels Nelson and Fisher, Tryon County New York Rangers. He died in Jessup, PA.
From Betty Arnesen: "From Georgia Olivet Judd's search of the records in Wash. DC"

(His son Nathaniel noted to have been a Tory. See his notes)
Also in "The New Loyalist Index" filed under Donna Barrett Christian and Henry Shellop enlisted in the KRR of NY 28 Feb. 1884.
Could this have been some other Christian Shelp entirely?
Also from Mr. Morrison, "Muster Roll of Capt John Winn's
company of Rangers Raised in the County of Tryon and State of NY, now in the service of the said State of NY". Among the names of the privates is: Christian Shillip, date of enlistment : Sept. (I think) 9, 1776. (Microfilm Reel 78, Revolutionary War Rolls 1775-1783, National Archives, Washington DC. Doc on file under Donna Barrett.
How does this fit with the above?
Also from Mr. Morrison. "Colonel Marinus Willett's Letter and Orderly Book, Fort Rensselaer (Fort Plain), 1781". Document No. 15705, NY State Library, Albany. There are two lists appended. One contains the entry "______Shellups, House and barn, grain 300" and the other "Fred Shulp, 1 log house, one frame barn, Wheat 500, Peas 100, Oats 200, Hay Ton 8, Indian Corn 150, Horses 6, Horned Cattle 8, Sheep 10, Hogs 10".
According to Margaret Shelp Fauteux "An examination of our oldest index of Wills and Administrations (1787-1905) in this office discloses no estate under the name of Christian Shelp." He had moved to PA.
From " The History of Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania" by Stocker p.358.
The first settlers on the hill...were Lemuel Wallbridge and his son Henry...natives of CT who located near the summit about 1812. They also bought the Doctor Turrell farm, below them, and Henry Wallbridge first improved the Jagger farm. About the same time Christian Shelp, a Mohawk Dutchman, came from New Milford where he had settled after moving from NY, and bought four hundred acres of the Rose lands between the above two places. His father-in-law, Henry Pruyne, who had settled in Great Bend in 1810, came with him.The latter was a Rev war soldier and a pensioner....Christian Shelp had sons named John, Nathaniel, Henry, Christian Jr, and Stephen. Henry afterwards lived on the farm which his father had occupied many years. Charles Davis, a son-in-law of Shelp, located in the same neighborhood, and, as these settlers were permanent, the locality took the name of "Dutch Hill" which it has retained to the present. p.495: members of the Shelp family noted as pioneer members of the Fair Hill Methodist Episcopal Church.

From Denise LAHR:
This is a tale of three neighboring families in Old Warwick Township: the Erismans, Habeckers and Ebys.
Melchior Erisman?s wife, Edith, followed through on a survey her deceased husband had obtained in 1728 for 204 acres and bought the rights to an adjacent warranted and surveyed parcel of 334 acres. On Feb. 20, 1740 she obtained patents for both parcels, making her a landed woman with 538 acres that included Pine Hill and lands on both sides of the Hammer Creek.
Meanwhile, George Eby, son of Theodorus, obtained his warrant for 150 acres southeast of the Erisman parcels along the same creek in 1733. In 1760 it was patented to Christian Eby, his eldest son.
Edith Erisman died. Daughter Magdalena had married Christian Eby, son of George. Her sisters, Anna, Barbara, and Elizabeth had married Jacob and Joseph, and John Habecker, respectively.
Anna (Erisman) and Jacob Habecker got 207 acres, consisting of most of the Pine Hill section of the warrant
Barbara (Erisman) and Joseph Habecker resided in Manor Township.
Flash forward to 1789 when Jacob Habecker died. He left a very controlling will (F-1-105) dated 1784: His only son, Jacob Habecker Jr. was given 170 acres. Daughter Elizabeth was to get the other 100 acres together with ?a locked chest with all its contents and no one else is allowed to search the same. She also got the remaining 100 acres and a good ?bed.? By the time of probate, Elizabeth was married to Jacob ?Old Jock? Eby. The children had the land resurveyed and found an additional 80 acres!
Meanwhile, in 1890, Christian Eby, sold the Eby 150 acres to Jacob Shaeffer, and that land passed out of the family. Son? Old Jock? didn?t need it because he had land from his wife.
Old Jock and Elizabeth had three sons: Abraham, Daniel and Jacob (Grobschmeid). The boys appointed a group of trusted neighbors to divide up the land ?according to the places where they now live.?
Here?s where Hannes Eby saved the day. Abraham?s only son, Jacob (what else), died young in 1841. He left a widow, Susanna (Grube), and a daughter, Fianna, 11 months old when he died.
After that, Abraham gave his share to brother Jacob (Grobschmeid) and moved west to Sugar Creek, Ohio. His wife was called Catherine in the deed, which threw me a bit, because her gravestone says Maria C. It turns out that she was literate and signed her name in Old German ?Catarina Maria.? Thank goodness I learned to read that stuff.
Daniel, I believe, went to Allen County, Indiana. Fortunately, I am going to Indiana in March and can research there.
Anyway, by 1845, all but Jacob had skedaddled west. Jacob remained behind and died in 1858. The property went to his son, John. [I believe there was another son, David, who went west to Sugar Creek and Uncle Abraham.] John left a son, Jacob who died in 1935.
That?s the broad strokes. It needs a lot more work.....
.....I will be putting it into a much more formal format with sources. Maybe even a paper for the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society. Meanwhile you have the gist of it.
When working on Hannes Eby, I was dreadfully afraid of making mistakes. And I'm sure I did make some, but I always tried to say only what I was pretty darn sure of......
....In my work on this, I have also been forced to look at Jacob Eby's family, and I will be trying to sort out more of what happened to George Eby's other descendants.
I can't wait to get to Indiana and Ohio now.

" Kalioka had four children by Young Gaines, an early settler who came into the Mobile area in the 1780's. Gaines received Spanish land grants and ran large herds of cattle freely on Indian land. He also had a white family, which included a daughter, Ann, who married George S. Gaines, an agent at the Choctaw Trading House.
.......as an Indian country-man, he witnessed treaties and was a paid interpreter for the Choctaw Trading House at St. Stephens where he sold corn, cowhides , and beef.
....Of the four children born to Kalioka and Young Gaines, more is known of Rose, the eldest daughter who stayed in the Mississippi Territory, than of their sons, Jerry and Isaac, who went west with their mother. " Daughter Ann (by Kalioka) died at an early age. **

"The first recorded Abernethy in America was William Abernathy who settled in Connecticut before 1650. He was followed by Robert Abernethy in 1652 who was among many prisoners of war whom Cromwell had transported after the Battle of Dunbar where he had fought under General David Leslie. Robert was sent to Virginia, survived the dreadful voyage and suffered five years of indentured servitude. Once released he married, acquired some land, and appears in the records of Charles County Court as a petitioner about ownership of cattle. In time he became a prosperous landowner, and in turn had an indentured servant working for him. Robert and his wife Sara had many children and established an Abernethy line in Virginia, which expanded into North Carolina and elsewhere in the southeastern United States." | Abernathy, Robert I (I543657046)

His birth date is established from the archives at Bern, Switzerland and
he lived at Ober-Deissbach, on the north slope of the Buchhalterberg.
****
The source of much Brenneman history is The Brenneman Family of America,
by Professor Albert Harwell Gerberich. Printed by Mennonite Publishing
House, Scottsdale, Pennsylvania, 1938.
Had 7 children, who were aged 1.5-15in 1672. Four sons' names are given;
were the other 3 girls?
His home is supposed to have been at Ober-Diessbach on the north slope of
Buchhalterberg, somewhere near Zurich or Bern.
A letter written 1 Jan 1672 refers to him livingin a village of Swiss
Mennonite refugees in Griesheim, Germany, in Rhein-Hessen 40 miles NW of
Worms. He owned one horse, one trundle bed and bedding, and 43
rix-dollars. There were 53 families in the village, all poor.
While in Switzerland, he refused to abjure the Mennonite belief, was
warned and finally imprisoned in the Castle of Thun in 1659. He fled from
Switzerland to Griesheim, twenty miles northwest of the city of Worms, in
Germany in 1671, probably because of the strict Swiss government mandate
of 1670.
We next hear of him in 1671 when he left Switzerland, bound for Germany.
He was 40 years old and his wife 35. There were 7 children between the
ages of 18 months and 15 years. His worldly possessions consisted of one
horse, one trundle bed and bedding, and 43 rix-dollars. He had been
fortunate to escape with his life. He ended up at Grieshem, which was
located 20 miles northwest of the city of Worms. William Penn visited
Griesheim in September of 1677, told of his plan to form a haven, etc.
Melchior the Exile did not go, but his son Melchior the *Emigrant* did.
They probably never returned to Switzerland.

4. Farmington.
JOHN HART, of Farmington, eldest son of Deacon Stephen Hart, of Braintree, Eng., Cambridge, Mass., Hartford and Farmington, Conn., born , in England, married Sarah . They resided in Farmington, where he was made a freeman by the General Court, at their May session, 1654. Sarah, his wife, joined the church at Farmington, Oct. 19th, 1653; he was admitted to the church April 2d, 1654. He was one of the first settlers of Tunxis, and bought his house lot of the original owners, and among the list of the eighty- four proprietors of 1672, is numbered the "Estate of John Hart." At the October session of the General Court, in 1660, a committee was raised to examine " Thirty Mile Island," with the view of settlement, when John Hart, of Farmington, was elected one of said committee. His sad and untimely death occurred on this wise, viz.: his house, which was located near the center of the village, was fired in the night by Indians, and he and all his family, with the exception of his eldest son, John, who was that night at Nod, or Northington, since called Avon, looking after the stock on a farm they owned there, perished in the flames. What aggravated the public calamity was the burning of the town records, at the same time. The General Court made diligent search among the Tunxis tribe for the incendiaries, but this neither restored life nor records. This fire occurred , 1666.
[This fire may not have occurred as described here. Research by David Mauro published in the July/August 1997 issue of Hart Historical Notes seems to show that no Indians were involved. Dr. C. Bickford of the Connecticut Historical Society is quoted: " The 19th century accounts of Farmington contain a lot of fiction. With- out any corroborating evidence to support Andrew's story, I had to conclude that it was without substance."
There may have been a fire of unknown origin, though. From the "Hart Family History, Silas Hart, His Ancestors and Descendants." by William Lincoln Hart, 1942, Alliance, Ohio, page 17:
"The Rev. Samuel Danforth, pastor of the first church in Roxbury kept a diary, and under the date of February 11, 1666 (O.S.) appears the following entry: "Tidings came to us from Connecticut how that on ye 15th of 10M66 Sergeant Hart, ye son of Deacon Hart and his wife, and six children were all burned in their house at Farmington, no man knowing how the fire was kindled, neither did any of the neighbors see ye fire till it was past remedy. The church there had kept a fast at this man's house two days before. One of his sons being at a farm, escaped the burning." "

9. John, born in Farmington, about 1655, baptized April 2d, 1655, saved from the fire, he being that night at Nod.

9 children. Moved to Cornwall Canada. ?due to loyalist side in Revolution per Glenn Douglas Craig Hunt letter of 5-31-1991. Also,"Holland 1760, Russell Hill, Russell Co., Ontario.
From James F. Morrison I have a pay voucher listing one Frederick Shelp as a member of Fisher's regiment, N.Y. Militia. It is from the National Archives, Washington, DC. There is a hand written note, "Post 1783".
From the Van Tiffen book there are several references to Frederick having fought for the British and moved to Canada after the war.
From Dalton Owens:
A few months later I located a book in the library of Ottawa University titled "NEW YORK IN THE REVOLUTION AS COLONY AND STATE" Second edition, Vol. 10, 1898 by James A Robert, Controller. N.Y. State. These records (see below) were compiled from Militia and payroll lists for the I st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th regiments for several counties in N.Y.
p.53 JosephShelp, 4th Regt. of the Line, Col. James Holmes.
p.181 Frederick Shilp, 3rd regt.Tyron Co.,Col. Frederick Fisher
p. 181 Frederick Shelp, "
p. 181 Christian Shilip "
p. ? Christian Shillip-, Tyron CountyRangers, Capt. John Winn's Co.
p. 194 Johanis Shilp, 2nd Regt, Ulster Co. Col. James McClaghry
...........................................................
* * Note Johanis is old German for JOHN: not yet anglised therefore either second or more likely third generation Palatine.
One of the first references I have to a Shelp in Canada is included in a list of emmigrant applicants who received land grants from several land boards in the old Lunenberg District of Upper Canada in 1793 for Stormont, and Dundas Counties.
Reel C- 14028. Vol. 15 #47
FREDERICK SHELP, Emmigrant, United States, 200 acres, 18,03,1793
The inference is that Frederick received land in one of these two counties (Stormont or Dundas). However, the nominal index to the land patents for Ontario for the period 1790-1825 show Frederick Shelps , 200 acres, Conc 6, Lot 8 in Yonge Twp., Leeds Co. Johnston District on June 7, 1803- (MS I Reel 6). However, by 1813 the land was in other hands.
Frederick without doubt had several brothers and/or cousins. Two men named Shelp were members of a Loyalist Regt. called the KINGS RANGERS OF NEW YORK and are mentioned in the rolls of the second battalion ( W.O. 28, Pt 4. C-1 1858 ), as well as in the UEL lists (J.F. Pringle 1890, Comwall) for Lunenberg or the Old Eastern District of Upper Canada. The names mentioned in both records are Cpl. Henry Shellop and private Christian Shellop.
There is some confusion in my mind as to whether these two men deserted and went over to the side of the Americans during the rebellion (1776-1783). This is confirmed somewhat by the fact that there is no record, that either of these two men or their descendants applied for land grants as UEL's or sons & daughters of UEL's as was their right. These records are very complete for Upper Canada. I have not yet managed to resolve this problem. It is interesting to note that the American census for 1810 (IGI) lists only two Shelps as head of families: these include a Henry Shelp of Montgomery Co.N.Y.. and a Christopher Shelp of Cayuga Co also N..Y.
Additional data: Frederick Shallop (Shelp) married Rosannah (Susannah) Harington (Harrington) in Schodack Twp, Albany County, N.Y. on Aug. 20, 1790.
Frederick had three brothers Henry (Hendrik), Christian and Joseph and 2 sisters Margaret and Elizabeth (also a third?). The Henry and Christian Shellop who served with the Kings Rangers (a U.E.L. Regiment-see above) were two of his brothers. Both Frederick and Joseph as well as their father Christian served with the American Rebels in the line regiments of New York. The two brothers with the U.E.L.'s returned to their families in the U.S. in 1783 in the last days of the war. Joseph ended up in Vermont by 1790 and Frederick came to Canada that same year. His sister Margaret married John Gibson and Elizabeth married Issac Deline and remained in the Mohawk valley of N.Y. Christian and his wife went to Pennsylvania. Henry remained with his family in Montgomery Co., in the Mohawk Valley.
The Shelp family (originally spelled as Schulf is from the Palatine area of Germany. They were among the late arrivals in N.Y. from Germany and came to the Mohawk Valley about 1765. Three of the children are believed to have been bom in Holland. It is supposed to have taken the family several years to travel from Germany to Antwerp, get a ship to England and then on to America. This why some confusion exists as to their heritage being German or Dutch. It is also the fact that most of the Germans from the Palatine were members of the DUTCH CHURCH. | Shelp, Frederick (I10073474766)
