In the records of Prince George Parish Church, now in the possession of the Clerk of Rock Creek Church, is found the following: Andrew Heugh and Sarah Needham were married on Monday, the eleventh day of October, Anno Domini 1751, by Moses Tabbe, Currate of this Parrish.' Then follows a list of the children, giving the day of the week and hour of the day. The names and dates, only, are copied: Martha, b. Nov. 6, 1752; Elizabeth, Oct. 27, 1754; Sarah, June 30, 1756; Anna, June 26, 1758; Margaret, June 16, 1760.-Gen. Ed. 1971. EMERSON-INGALLS.-For a partial answer to this query, I would refer the author to Query 2429, published in this issue.-Gen. Ed. 2168. EDMISTON.-The names Edmondson and Edmiston are the same as used to designate a family which settled in Augusta Co., Va. Although Draper spells the name of the most prominent member of the family, in Rev. times, Capt. Wm. Edmiston, "Edmondson" Summers, in his History of Southwest Virginia, mentions him many times; and in nearly all instances spells his name "Edmiston." On page 749 of his history he gives a short sketch of his life under the heading "Capt. Wm. Edmiston." In this sketch it is stated that Capt. Wm. Edmiston was b. in Augusta Co., Va., served in the French-Indian War of 175463; was an officer of militia in Fincastle and Washington Counties; a member of the County Courts of those counties; was Capt. of a company on the expedition into S. C. in 1780, and was killed at the head of his company at the battle of King's Mountain. On page 103 of Summers' History, it is said that several persons from the fort were in the battle at King's Mountain, among whom were the eight Edmistons and Wm. Moore. Several of the former were killed. They were the ancestors of the Edmondsons of this day. The fort referred to was Fort Edmiston, in what is now Washington Co., Va.-H. M. Williamson, Secretary of the State Board of Horticulture, Portland, Ore. Totes and The Gen. Ed. would add to this very interesting account that there was a Thomas Edmiston, who was b. in Cumberland Co., Pa., in 1760, served first as a substitute for his brother (no name given) in the 8th Pa. Regiment; and later for himself in the Pa. militia. He went to Greenbrier Co., Va., shortly after the Rev., and lived there for fifteen years; then lived five years in Powell's Valley, Tenn., and in 1833 moved to Kentucky, where he applied for a pension (which was granted), and where he d.-Gen. Ed. 2206. FOWLER-WELLER.-This is an error, and should be Wells, as shown by the following letter from Dr. Frank F. Dow, 429 Park Ave., Rochester, N. Y.: "From the N. E. Historical and Genealogical Register for the year 1857, Vol. II., page 252, I quote, 'Stephen, b. July 26, 1747, m. Rhoda Wells.' This was sometimes spelled 'Welles,' but never 'Weller.' The father, Stephen Fowler, who m. (1) Rhoda Bancroft, m. (2) Mary Wells, evidently of the same family; and Stephen, Jr., named one of his sons, Wells Fowler. Her name is also given in the church record, at Pittsfield, as Wells, not Weller." We thank Dr. Dow for correcting this mistake, and would be very grateful if he can give us the parentage of this Rhoda (Wells) Fowler.Gen. Ed. 2284. (3) WRIGHT-KNOWLTON.-Benjamin Knowlton, b. Sept. 26, 1753, in New Ipswich, N. H. Abigail Wright, b. Nov. 10, 1744, in Hollis, N. H. The above couple were m. Oct. 18, 1776, by the Rev. Daniel Emerson in Hollis, N. H. To them were born: Abigail, June 23, 1777; Charlotte, Oct. 13, 1778; Benjamin, Aug. 10, 1780; Amos, b. Jan. 16, 1783; and Lucy, b. Jan. 13, 1786. Abigail was the dau. of Joshua and Abigail (Richardson) Wright, who was the Capt. of the Hollis (N. H.) Militia Co. in 1775, and previously. His children were: Joshua, b. 1740, d. in French and Indian War at Crown Point, N. Y.; Esther, b. 1742, m. J. Shed, of Pepperell, Mass., a Rev. soldier; Abigail, b. 1744, m. Benjamin Knowlton, a Rev. soldier; Abija, b. 1746, m. Lydia Cummings, and served in the Rev.; Lemuel, b. 1748, d. y.; Ruth, b. 1751, m. Ebenezer Jaquith, a Rev. soldier; Lemuel, b. 1752, a Rev. soldier, m. Mary Johnson; Uriah, b. 1754, a Rev, soldier, m. Eunice Jewett; Timothy, b. 1756, d. y.; Sibbel, b. 1759, m. Henry (brother of Benjamin) Knowlton, a Rev. soldier; Susannah, b. 1761, m. Wm. Wood, an Ensign in the Rev.; and Sarah, b. 1763, who m. Eliphalet Brown, a Rev. soldier. A truly patriotic family! Joshua Wright was the largest taxpayer in Hollis, N. H., in 1775, and was a descendant of John Wright, b. in 1601, and one of the first settlers of Woburn, Mass.-Mrs. George Gebhart, 1121 Montgomery St., Knoxville, Iowa. 2288. DAYFOOT.-Michael Dayfoot, who m. Patience Carpenter, and lived in Bristol, Vt., was probably the father of Rachel Dayfoot, of Bristol, Vt. Patience had a sister, Rachel, and her father was a Rev. soldier. Michael's father spelled his name De Foe.-Miss Carrie E. Deavitt, Montpelier, Vt. 2294. LEE-FORD.-It is quite probable_that the parents of Mary Lee, who m. Jacob Ford, were Thomas Lee (a Rev. soldier from Vt.), and his wife, Sarah Vary. Thomas Lee was b. Dec. 5, 1734, m. Sarah Vary, Sept. 22, 1757, and d. Oct. 8, 1811. His widow d. April 24, 1811. Their children were: Mary, b. Sept. 22, 1758; Betty, b. 1762; Asahel, b. 1764; Sarah, b. 1766; Hannah, b. 1768, m. Zebulon Moses in 1787, and d. in 1860; Susanna, b. 1770; and Thomas, b. 1773.-Miss Jennie B. Sizer, 394 Forest Ave., Fond du Lac, Wis. 2331. EVERTON.-There is no mention of a Wm. Everton in the N. C. Archives; nor is there any Rev. service for Thomas. He is mentioned, however, in Vol. IV, p. 516, as a juror in Chowan Co. in 1739, and also on pp. 946 and 1250, mention is made of a land grant to him of 200 acres in Craven Co. in 1749, the patent for which was granted in 1751. In Vol. XXII, p. 352, mention is made of a Daniel Everton, who in 1754 was in Capt. Wm. Abercrombie's Co. of militia; and in Vol. XVII, p. 528, Edward Everton received pay as a private in the N. C. Cont. Line.-Gen. Ed. 2333. HARRIS-See answer to 2311, HARRIS, given in March number. Evidently the West Harris, who performed the service, was the brother, and not the father, of Arthur Harris, who was b. in 1758.-Gen. Ed. 2335. GREEN-William Green was a captain of militia, and Oct. 22, 1775, the Council resolved, "That Samuel Ashe, Esq., pay into the hands of Thomas Eaton, Esq., for the use of Capt. Wm. Green, 120 pounds to be applied to the enlisting of regular soldiers, and be allowed in his accounts with the public" (N. C. Arch., Vol. X, p. 293). In Vol. XXII, p. 816, mention is made of him and his twenty men "going out on the scout as a protection to the frontiers in Rowan and Anson Counties." In Vol. XIII, p. 474, it speaks of him as a captain from Sept., 1775, to 1778. Another William Green, probably his son, is mentioned in Vol. XVI, pp. 1062 and 1067, as a private in the N. C. Cont. Line. He was a pensioner. There are a number of other references to each of them in the Archives, which can be sent to E. G. L. A. on request for the cost of copying.-Gen. Ed. 2342. ENGLE-Michael Engle, a Rev. soldier from Morris Co., N. J., was a pensioner. His wife's name is not given in his application, and she evidently did not survive him. No men tion is made of a dau., Katherine, and immediately after Michael's death another person files an application as the only surviving child of Michael Engle. It is probable, therefore, that Katherine belonged to that branch of the Engle family who settled in or near Berkeley Springs, W. Va., in the early part of the nineteenth century.-Gen. Ed. 2346. CREAMER.-Jacob (Jr.), who was pensioned by the Act of 1818, and d. May 13, 1832, was not Ensign nor Capt., but Private-at least that was all that he claimed in his application for pension (S. F. 35868). He was living in Wilmington, Del., in 1820, although he served from Pa. in the Rev., and had a wife, Sarah (42 in 1820), and four children, Maria D., 14 years; John B., 12 years; Anna Louise, 11 years, and Catherne M., 7 years. Jacob was b. ab. 1762, and in 1820 kept a cigar store in Wilmington.-Gen. Ed. 2395. CAMPBELL.-Janet (often used interchangeably with Jane) Campbell was the dau. of Robert Campbell, a Rev. soldier from N. J., whose widow, Mary (1756-1832), obtained a pension in 1831 while living in Northumberland Co., Pa.-Gen. Ed. 2397. (2) BULLEJANT.-A careful examination of the French soldiers who served in the Rev. fails to discover the name of Bullejant under any spelling the Gen. Ed. could think of. Evidently it is an attempt to anglicize it. Cannot B. L. P. suggest some other spelling? -Gen. Ed. CORRECTIONS. In Query 2107, George J. Webster should read George Webster, Jr., and Harriett was m. (not d.) in Morgan, Ohio, and d. in Saybrook, Ohio. In the record of Gen. Jacob Morris, p. 227, October number of the AMERICAN MONTHLY MAGAZINE, it states that Sarah m. (1) Isaac Baker and (2) Peter Kean. She m. (1) Peter Kean and (2) Looe (or Love) Baker. At the end of the same paragraph, the children of Wm. A. P. Morris should be: Howard, Arthur Breese, Charles Marcius, and Julia Sophia. Mrs. Gale, who supplied the previous information, and also the corrections, writes that in the Chapter to which she belongs they have started keeping a record of Chapter children," as a help to those who now are indifferent to their ancestry, but later on will wish they knew. Full particulars will be sent to any others desiring to do the same by Mrs. J. S. Gale, Registrar, Centennial State Chapter, 1104 Sixth St., Greeley, Colo. NOTE. Any descendant of the Chamberlain family who wishes to obtain a record of the first four generations of the Henry Chamberlain, of Hingham branch, or of the first four generation of the Wm., of Billerica branch, can address Mrs. S. A. Caswell, R. R. No. 1, Jefferson, Mass. The price of the first is 75 cents and postage; of the second, $1 and postage. Owing to the unusual demand on the space of the AMERICAN MONTHLY Magazine, a number of queries still remain in the possession of the Gen. Ed. Queries are printed in the order in which they are received, and are carefully filed according to date of receipt as soon as received. No one regrets the situation more than the Gen. Ed., and she asks all contributors to possess a little patience. QUERIES. 2387. LEE-BARNES.-Ancestry desired of Trecie Lee who m. Jethro Barnes.

MARGARET GIBSON MARTIN entered into rest at her home, West Middlesex, Mercer County, Pa., July 17, 1911, aged eighty-nine years. Mrs. Martin was a member of the Washington County Chapter, Washington, Pa., and was a Real Daughter. Her father, Gideon Gibson, was a frontier ranger, from Bedford County, and served at Moore's Fort under Captain Moore, guarding the frontier from Indians in 1779-80-81. Mrs. Martin was a woman of strong character and greatly beloved in the community. MRS. BENJAMIN F. QUACKINBUSH, a mеmber of the Board of Managers of Nora Caesarea Chapter, Newark, N. J., died October 9, 1911. MRS. MARY A. TUCKER, who before her marriage was Mary Ann Spear, of the old New Jersey family of Spears, a member of Nora Caesarea Chapter, Newark, died December 21, 1911. MRS. HELEN NASH, member of the Old South Chapter, Boston, passed away December 28, 1911. MRS. HELEN ROACH, member of the Eunice Baldwin Chapter, Hillsboro, N. H., passed away December 23, 1911. Mrs. Roach leaves a husband and little son and an unusually large circle of friends. Always bright and cheerful, she was universally beloved. She was a member of the Woman's Club, the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Congregational Church. On January 5, 1912, MRS. ALMA C. WELLMAN, member of Eunice Baldwin Chapter, entered into rest after a short illness. For many years she was an invalid, but kept an active interest in affairs and worked beyond her strength. She belonged to several societies and at one time was Secretary of Eunice Baldwin Chapter. The Lynchburg Chapter (Lynchburg, Virginia) records the death of MRS. MARIAN FONTAINE CABELL TYREE. Resolutions have been passed by the Chapter commemorating Mrs. Tyree's helpfulness, especially during the war, when she was distinguished for her work of mitigating the suffering of the soldiers and for her hospitality to all during those years of suspense and trial. MRS. JENNIE LEAKE WILLIAMS, Member-atLarge, and mother of Mrs. Andrew Rose, State Historian of Texas, Daughters of the American Revolution, died at Texarkana, Texas, January 31, 1912. Mrs. Williams belonged to an old Southern family and was a woman of rare charm and ability. MRS. LYDIA ARMINE WHITTEN BRIDGES, a charter member of Rebecca Emery Chapter, of Biddeford, Maine, went from us to the "Great Beyond" on the 30th day of October, 1911, after an illness of little more than a week. Mrs. Bridges was born in Parsonsfield, Maine, the daughter of Charles Whitten and Sarah (Hill) Whitten, her family, on both sides of the house, being of Revolutionary stock. She came to Biddeford when she was a young woman and here was married. Her nature was of the rare sort, and she brought to the Chapter a sisterly sympathy, a gentle courtesy, a ready support and a beautiful enthusiasm that made her presence helpfully felt. MRS. ANNA GREEN LOVELAND, of Lake Dunmore Chapter, Brandon, Vt., passed to the life beyond January 3, 1912, at the age of eighty years. Her bright intellect was ever ready in promoting the welfare of the Chapter, and we miss her gentle presence from among us. MRS. FRANCIS HEINEN JAENKE, the youngest member of Prairie Mamou Chapter, Jennings, La., passed to life eternal on February 22, 1912, and it is with a deep sense of bereavement that the Chapter reports her loss. Died at Robinwood Hospital, Toledo, Ohio, January 6, 1912, HELEN GENEVIEVE DOYLE PRATT, wife of Judge John S. Pratt, and youngest daughter of Judge and Mrs. John H. Doyle. Her clothing ignited from an open grate fire and she lived only a few hours, dying from her injuries. Besides her husband she left a little daughter. She was a charter member of the Toledo Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution. She had a charming personality and will long be missed by a large circle of friends. MISS IRENE GLEASON, of Brattleboro Chapter, D. A. R., passed away January 5, 1912. Miss Gleason's membership in the Chapter dates from June 5, 1906. MRS. ELOISE MACARTHUR, Regent of the La Crosse Chapter, D. A. R., LaCrosse, Wis., died November 7, 1911. A faithful member and officer, her loss is deeply felt, and her place cannot easily be filled. MRS. LEVI RINEHART DOTY (HARRIETT LIVINGSTON BUTLER) passed away January 3, 1912, at her home in Chicago, Ill. The Columbus Chapter, D. A.

BLANTON, Vice-Regent of Rebecca Crockett Chapter, Gainesville, Texas, died at her home, December 14, 1911. Why are the noblest and the best beloved so soon called to the great beyond? |
