| 2456 | Jacob was a "tukmacher" meaning towel or cloth maker. He had a son and second one on the way with Sophia before he married her. The christening records for his children are very complete in the Evangelical Church records fofelden, Hessen in Germany. For example: Georg Eckstein was born 29th of Aug. 1865 in the afternoon at 4:00. He was the 4th child and 4th son on Jacob Eckstein and Sophia Catharina. He was baptized on Sept. 10, 1865. (F-179) | ECKSTEIN, Jacob (I16158)
|
| 2457 | Jacob came with his family to America as a small child in 1733. He became a minister in Cordorus Church, York Co, PA in 1742 and was considered one of the outstanding early colonial clergyman. He was also a surveryor by trade. He tooke group of settlers from York Co, PA to Frederick Co., MD in 1760 where they settled near present day Woodsboro, MD on Indian Creek. The majority of these settlers eventually moved south on the Linganore Creek area. This creeks flows into the Monacy River. Jacob, himself, moved from Codorus to settle on the Linganor in 1770. He is listed as an Elder of the Pipe Creek Church in that year. In "The Church in the Valley" by H. Austin Cooper, c. 1993, it states "no person of that day had influenced more people of Pennsylvania to migrate south into Maryland than Elder Jacob Danner". He was likely the Jacob Danner who attended the 1789 Annual Meeting of the "Brethren" in York Co., Pennsylvania He was buried in the Old Cemetery, Brownsville Church with the simple initials J.D. on the top of a Marble stone marker. (CL-526) | DANNER, Jacob (I8405)

| 2458 | Jacob died unmarried. (F-499) | DOUDE, Jacob (I148)
|
| 2459 | Jacob Doughty was one of the first, if not the first Quaker to settle in Quakertown, NJ. He owned land there previous to 1727. John Stevenson's deed record of that year adjoined land owned by Jacob Doughty. Samuel Large purchased someob Doughty's original 1,212 acres around 1729. | DOUGHTY, Jacob (I8049)
|
| 2460 | Jacob emmigrated in 1737. He had 2 wives and multiple children. His gr. nieces and nephews named several children after him. | MAST, Jacob (I2691)
|
| 2461 | Jacob had the title of Sergeant. Probably in this capacity, he was sent to Canada in 1709. This effected his health for the rest of his life. He is buried in the old cemetery in Middletown, CT. (F-496) His will as presented at http://wilcox.net/wills/doud_jacob1736.htm follows:"Digest of the Early Connecticut Probate Records(Hartford District),Charles W. Manwaring,Hartford, 1902,Vol 3, p 155 Sergt. Jacob DOUD, Middletown. Invt. | DOUD, Jacob (I16136)
|
| 2462 | Jacob Herp's land was surveyed at 50 acres on May 15, 1759 in Berks Co., Pennsylvania. Brother Abraham's land was surveyed at 25 acres on Feb. 26, 1759 in Berks Co., PA also. In all he owned 118 acres in District Township, Berks Co., Pennia. Jacob as well as most if not all of his sons were cordwainers by trade. (C-395, 431) Clues about his children's lives come from his son, Frederick Harp or Herb, who applied for pension for his Revolutionary War Service on Jan. 8, 1833 in Luzerne Co., Huntington Twp., Pennsylvania. He was 76 at the time. He enlisted in the war in Berks County, Pennsylvania in 1777 for seventeen months. He served part of this time under Lafayette. He was born in East District Twp., Berks Co., PA in 1756. He did not know the exact date, but suspected the Church books in East District might have it. In 1810 he moved to Columbia Co., Pennsylvania and then to Huntington, Luzern Co., Pennsylvania in 1814. He died two weeks after his final move to Montgomery Co., Ohio on Nov. 21, 1833. (C-547) A Petrus and Henry Harp were living in Rochester Co., NY as early as 1757 when they were serving in the Indian Wars there that would be of a peerage to possibly be brothers or relatives of this Jacob Harp. (C-310) There is a Joseph Harp who was in the Revolutionary War in North Carolina that was born about 1752 that might possibly be the eldest child of Jacob Harp. (EL) | HERB, Jacob H. (I14873)
|
| 2463 | Jacob in Hulda's Hoover's sources is believed to be the 2nd son of Andrew, meaning that his birth date would have to be before 1752 when Andrew was born instead. It was normally the 2nd son that was named after the maternal grandfathers culture, in this case Jacob Pfautz. Jacob was not a Quaker nor a gentle person. He was however, a very astute businessman who started by buying his father's gristmill. He became a very influential figure and was owed money by practically everyone where he lived upon his death. He owned 1000 acres by 1790. He was left crippled by injuries from a flood. He rebuilt the gristmill after it was destroyed by fire and it stayed in the family for more than a hundred years. His financial success is even more dramatic when considering that he owned no slaves nor hired any slave labor in his lifetime, obviously not believing in it. (C-2176) | HOOVER, Jacob (I15982)
|
| 2464 | Jacob left a will and died on May 20, 1902 in Wayne Co., Ohio. This record is #10687 in which he left 8 children behind. Sons that might be his in the Probate Court Records are a David married to a Catherine with 8 children in 1896, a. married to Fanny with 2 children in 1895, and a John A. with 8 children who died in 1908. | HOFSTETTER, Jacob Nicolas * (I6587)
|
| 2465 | Jacob purchased 40 acres on Oct. 3, 1828 in Gallia Co., Ohio in Twp. 6, Range 16, section 33. This was a few months after he had married a very young bride in her teens. He was still likely the J. Danner on this land in the 1874 Galliahio Atlas. (CL-449, 590) In the 1830 census, they have one daughter under age ten. This is an unknown daughter to me at this time, as she was not listed by name in the 1850 census -- and has either died or married at that point. In the 1850 census for Gallia Co., there is a Jacob and Sarah Danner. In the 1850 census, Jacob was 45, a farmer, born in Pennsylvania. His wife, Sarah, age 33, was born in Virginia. Their children were all born in Ohio. After Solomon, age 20, and Mary, age 18, the next child was Jacob, age 10. (CL-303) In the 1860 census, his real estate was worth $1300.00 and his personal property, $150.00. (CL-304) By 1870 it had changed in value to $1200.00 and $200.00. In that census it states that only daughter Sarah in their household could read and write. (CL-305, 383) There are two Danners living in Gallia Co. of a correct age to be Jacob's father. A Jonathan Danner who lived in Perry Twp, Gallia Co., Ohio in the 1820 census, had many children, two the appropriate age to be our Jacob, and was himself over 45 years of age. If this is Jacob's father, it appears that his wife had died by the 1820 census due to the fact that the oldest female in the home was under age 26. One of his probable sons was named Solomon and lived next to him in the 1830 census in Perry Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio. Jonathan was between 60 and 70 years of age. I suspect that Jonathan was the father of both our Jacob and the above Solomon. The other possible father for Jacob is a Michael Danner who was living in Perry Twp. in Gallia Co., Ohio by the 1830 census who was between age 50 and 60. He had actually made his first land purchase there in 1827. There was a son age 10-14, one between 15 and 19 and one age 20-29. He also had one daughter age 15-19 and one 20-29. A son Jacob's age is not amongst them as he would have moved out by 1830. This Michael or one of his sons might be the Michael who married Sally Vance on 12/1/1825 and Elizabeth Napier on 10/1/1835. He or son Michael purchased land in 1827, 1838, and 1840 in Twp. 5. Because the name Michael was not given to any of Jacob's sons, I consider Michael much less likely to be the father of Jacob at this point in time. (CL-446) There are multiple Danners of similar age to Jacob in Gallia Co. that are likely siblings or cousins. Solomon bought land in Gallia Co., Ohio on Nov. 4, 1825 in Twp. 5, Sec. 3, Rat. 16. This Solomon married Polly Koons on 1-25-1827 and that left a will in 1851 in JWBE, p. 450, Gallia Co., Ohio. (CL-360) A David Danner bought land in 1832 and 1838, part of it adjoining Jacob's land. David was born about 1804 in Pennsylvania according to the 1870 Perry Twp, Gallia Co., Ohio records. He was living next to a Solomon Danner, b. 1840 in Ohio. (CL-383) He married Sally A. Bayles on 10-19-1838. He left administration papers in 1877 in C/D p. 25 and 56 and is buried in old Bethel Church Cemetery in Walnut Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio next to his son Sylvester D. Danner. (CL-360, 445) A George W. Danner bought land in 1832 and 1836. This George W. married Elizabeth Norman on 1-25-1831. Betsy Danner married Henry Rickabuagh on 4-28-1829. (CL-359) There is also a Jonathan Danner buried in Ross County, Ohio by himself. (CL-445) | DANNER, Jacob (I11732)
|
| 2466 | Jacob was a Captain in the War of 1812 according to Beers History of Darke Co., Ohio He was honorably discharged after 2 year's service. He moved to Darke Co., OH in 1837 where he was a Township Trustee for 2 years and Justice of the Per six. (C-2319) He is listed in a court case, Jacob B. John & Powell et al vs Morris Seely, James H. Robinson wherein his siblings and their spouses are named and verified. (C-2318) | JOHN, Jacob B(enjamin) (I8563)
|
| 2467 | Jacob was a trustee in the Hockessin MM, Delaware. He and his wife had seven children. (C-956) | HOLLINGSWORTH, Jacob (I15599)
|
| 2468 | James A. Clark enlisted in the Civil War, Oct. 10, 1863 in E. Wiseman's Co., Rio Grande , Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He was a private in the army, Co. M, 7th Regiment, O.V.C. (CL-99) He came down with tuberculosis while in the army and wasarged on July 10, 1863. This information was from the grave registrations of persons in the military in Ohio. However, it disagrees with the enlistment and discharge dates his family gave in the 1890 census. According to them, he enlisted on Oct. 9, 1862 and was discharged on June 29, 1863 with paralysis of his right arm. His post office address was Rio Grande, Raccoon Twp. (CL-22, 363) A third account in "Gallia Co. Ohio Soldier Discharge Book, Vol.1" by Trowbridge gives the following: James J. Clark, Sergeant, enrolled Oct. 10 1862; discharged July 3, 1865, Nashville, Tenn.; born in Gallia Co., Ohio, age 35 years; Height: 6'1"; Complexion: light; Hair: light; Eyes: gray; Occupation: farmer, Vol.1, pg.44. According to my grandmother, he was said to be of full English descent. However, his very tightly curled hair could explain the African heritage in DNA tests that come through this line. We now know that this heritage comes from Mali. If he is the ancestor who had African blood, he would have been about 25% African with his likely grandmother having been a slave. He lived with his son, A.J. Clark and his family after breaking his hip, around 1899 or so. He was senile at the end of his life and tried setting his son's house on fire. (CL-104) He died at his son, Andrew James Clark's farm, 2 miles from Rio Grande, in 1902. He is listed as a Tanner by trade on his death record. (CL-19) James's wife, Eliza Jane died in Dayton, Ohio at the home of Lola (Tobin) Clarks according to my great aunt Sophie. Aunt Sophie remembers her for the pretty aprons she wore. (CL-105) One of Jim and Eliza's son's, Henry-who went by the name of Joe, married a woman with some black ancestry. They never had children- but tried to adopt a daughter whom they dearly loved. To the great grief of Uncle Joe, this daughter was taken away from them before the adoption was final. (CL-105b) Joe was the informant on his brother James A.'s death certificate. In this document he stated that their mutual father was born near Cora, Ohio. (CL-DOC) This information led to the discovery of James A. Clark's parentage above. The only fact that is not clear is where James A. was born. His parent's 1850 Ohio census record lists him as being born in Virginia. He lists his birth place differently in every document he is in: Gallia Co., Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky. He is in the 1850 non-population census for Gallia Co., Ohio. He was living in Walnut Twp. next to a William H. Clark and near a Samuel Clark. The William (H.) was likely his father and the Samuel could have been one of his brother's middle names. In 1860, he and his likely father, William, lived in Perry Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio. William owned more livestock and property in both records than James and they lived near each other. In the 1870 non-population census, he and his likely brother George lived in Walnut Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio near each other. In the 1870 population census taken at a slightly different time, he is the following. Name: James Clark Age in 1870: 42Birth Year: abt. 1828 Birthplace: Ohio, Home in 1870: Raccoon, Gallia, Ohio Race: White Gender: Male Post Office: Gallipolis Value of real estate: View image Household Members: Name: Age James Clark 42 Jane Clark: 38 Andrew Clark: 12Elsworth Clark: 9Ida Clark: 6 James Clark: 2 In this census, James Clark listed his age as 42 (which means his birth date could be off). They were all born in Ohio. His children could not read nor write. Many of the birth dates did not coincide with other firsthand records. In the 1880 U.S. Census, James Clark is 56, a farmer, born in Kentucky. His wife, Eliza J., age 50, was born in Ohio. Her father was born in Virginia and her mother in North Carolina. James Jr., age 20, was a farm laborer, 5 months unemployed while he attended school. Henry E., age 17, Ida E., age 15, Edward, age 12, and Rosa, age 9 also attended school. Jessie A., age 3 was still too young. Note that if the ages are correct, some of the birth dates I have for these children are slightly off. (CL-231) He and his son A. James were both known as A.J. in various published or family records. (CL-9) My family never knew what the A. stood for. My mother guessed that it was Andrew. | CLARK, James A. (I11726)
|
| 2469 | James and a Rebekah Coats were members of the Bush River Baptist Church in Newberry, South Carolina. Rebekah Coats was excommunicated in June of 1805. She was counciled during several meetings previous to that about her love of drink, ws likely why she was excommunicated. This would have occurred a year before her husband's death and 2 years before her second marriage. In 1809, after her first husband died, she is listed in a deed where she sold fifty acres to Joseph Hall, her son-in-law, on land that adjoined hers, Stephen McGraw/McCraw, John Clary and John Belton's land. (C-1858, 1890, 2208E) | UNKNOWN, Rebekah (I10350)
|
| 2470 | James and brother Moses became threadmakers. This was a good 150 years before a James Coate of Paisley, Scotland started the Coate and Clark thread company. | COATS, James (I2874)
|
| 2471 | James and children, Charity, Sarah and George, by his unknown first wife transferred to Bush River before 1786. He is in the 1790 census with these children, his second wife and two more children he had had with Sarah Wright. A James &amily moved to Miami MM, OH and got a certificate from Bush River MM, SC on Aug. 8, 1805. He is listed in the 1810 and 1816 tax records for Miami Co., Ohio. According to Hinshaw, this would be the James that moved with his brother's Isaac, George and Nathan who moved to Ohio with descendants going to Indiana and Iowa. I had information that he was the James who died in SC in 1821, but this is probably confused with another James. (C-96, 457, p.92, 1025, 2034) | HOLLINGSWORTH, James Sr. (I13113)
|
| 2472 | James and his family had their last 3 children in the W.Branch MM, Miami Co., OH area from 1832 on according to Hinshaw. (C-95) | JAY, James (I14238)
|
| 2473 | James and Jane were likely mulattoes to account for most of their children being called black or mulatto in census records. I am noting this so I can hopefully find out more about James' family. James is likely one of the 10 freed males that his father had living on his famous horse ranch in the 1840 census. Perhaps all of the 10 freed males were his children. I do not know. John Oldham Conley's son, James, was raised to be a talented blacksmith. After John Oldham Conley died in 1845, James was able to start a blacksmith business in nearby Limestone County, Alabama. His assets were worth $5000 by 1850, which is significantly higher than many other blacksmiths in the area. The only records so far after extensive searches that I have of any James Conley is in the 1850 Slave Schedules for Limestone County, Alabama. James owned two slaves in the 1860 Slave Schedules, a male and a female, ages of 60. He is listed as James Conley in the following 1850 slave schedule: 1 female - age 60 1 male - age 18 2 females - age 18 1 female - age 11 1 male - age 17 In an inventory of farms in the 1850 slave schedules is where James is listed as a Blacksmith worth $5000.00. The job of a blacksmith was typically the job of the greatest wealth in communities of the time. There were multiple blacksmiths in District 3 of Limestone. They were: Armstead Burkes, John Riley, Henry Kindle, Joseph G. Fogg, Thomas Gibbs, Jesse Sargeiner, John Swope, and Jacob D. Armstrong on the same page as James Conley. There was also a John Conley (his likely son) who was a wagonmaker on this same page. In the 1860 slave schedules, a J. Conley owned 2 slaves, a male and female, age 60 and employed 2 other slaves. This might be our James or it more likely refers to his son John b. 1821. This John was in the 1850 census also as a wagon maker who owned slaves. This J. Conley employed a 12-year-old boy who was owned by an Adkinson of Madison County, Alabama. Limestone's capital and Madison County were only 22 miles apart. J. Conley also employed a 30-year-old male who was owned by a Benton (Sanding). We don't know James and John's motivation, but in both cases, they could have been giving these people a trade and life of protection from the harshness of some other masters. They were and are a respected family whom has carried down memories of them. They had an artist whom has sketched different family oral histories and photographs in some cases of these early generations of freed black ancestors. These sketches are maintained in a Conley Trust. | CONLEY, James (I983)
|
| 2474 | James bought his father's homestead in 1742. He was a farmer and medical practioner (first in the county). His daybook of medical receipts shows him to have used the common practice of blood-letting in almost all medical situations. Heis wife died just six days apart. They were the parents of eight children. (C-1509b) A "Testimony" was written about him in the Kingwood Monthly Meeting records, Hunterdon Co., NJ. It stated that he was "remarkably charitable to the poor and well beloved by all who knew his virtues." | WILLSON, James (I16012)
|
| 2475 | James Brooks is in the 1790 census living next to a John Wright. There are 2 males in his household over 16, 3 under 16 and 4 females. (Newberry Co., SC, p. 77) | BROOKS, James (I13218)
|
| 2476 | James Calhoun, father of his wife, sold him 100 acres of land in 1782 in Guilford Co., NC. | HOLLADAY, John (I9666)
|
| 2477 | James Clark 1704-1778 settled in Augusta Co., Virginia in 1740. He was one of William Beverly's land agents and was frequently in the records of Augusta COUNTY. He owned an 816 acre plantation, approximately nine miles southwest of Staunor the old Glebe Cemetery in the area of the Old North Meeting House. ("Before Amanda" by Thomas Nathan Clark page 3:) "James CLARK Birth 1704, Jamestown, King & Queen County, Virginia Death 1778, Augusta County, Virginia Father Jonathan "John" CLARK (1662-1735) Mother Elizabeth Ann LUMPKIN (~1665-) Misc. Notes The name of Clark means a learned person - that is, one who could read and write, which was a rare accomplishment in the olden times. As a surname, Clark and Clarke appears frequently, from LeClere; and medieval bearers of the name were very proud of it. The name took several compounds which are: Beauclark - the good Clark; Mauclerk - the bad Clark; Kenclerk - the knowing Clark; and Petyclerk - the Little Clark. The name of Clark, in its various forms, is one of great antiquity, having probably been used in Great Britain as early as the eleventh century. Since the name implied literacy, it's use as a name was eagerly coveted; hence it frequent use. Many people added "le clerk's to their names. The "le' was finally dropped, and only Clerk was left or, as it was pronounced, Clark. The final "e" is an addition in later times. In the fifty years following the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth and the English in Virginia, many persons of the name of Clark left England for the New World. Some of them, like Richard Clarke, who was a passenger on the Mayflower, left no children, but it was the good fortune of others to found families who have been active in the early New England settlements and the Virginia pioneers who so bravely established homes in the wilderness. There is a very strong tradition which says that our paternal ancestor who came to this country, emigrated from England to Virginia, and that his name was John. He came from the County of Kent, England and settled at Jamestown between 1630 and 1635. Tradition is that he settled on the James River and became a planter; that either on the vessel coming over, or soon thereafter, he met, and fell in love with a Scotch girl, Hannah Wiatt, who became his wife. John died in Jamestown c. 1645. The pioneer ancestor of the Monroe County, (West) Virginia line was James Clark of Augusta County, who according to tradition, was the son of John Clark, third in descent from John Clark the immigrant. James Clark settled in Augusta County, Virginia in 1740. He was one of William Beverley's land agents, and his name frequently appears in the records of the county. He owned a large plantation (800 acres) some nine miles southwest of Staunton, near the old Glebe Cemetery, and in the area of the old North Mountain Meeting House. The land is called "James Clark's Old Plantation" in the Augusta County Courthouse records. The old home was demolished c. 1928. Records show that James was a member of Captain John Willson's Virginia Militia of 1742; and that he also served his country in the French and Indian War in 1758. (Hening, Volume 7, Augusta County Section). James married Elizabeth Summers who died in 1781. James died in 1778; his will dated 20 AUG 1774; proved 17 MAR 1778 is recorded in Augusta County Will Book 6, Page 4, at the Courthouse in Staunton, Virginia.(Meyer and Dorman, Adventurers of Purse and Person, p. 114-115) "All the children are listed in Chroniclies of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia 1745-1800, Vol. lll, P 150 Will book No. Vl (p.4), by Lyman Chalkey Vol. lll.

The Clarks were members of the North Mountain Meeting House (Presbyterian) which was about ten miles southwest of the present City of Staunton, Virginia. James' will is transcribed as follows: "In the Name of God Amen. I James Clark of the County of Augusta and Colony of Virginia being Sick of body but of perfect Judgment and memory do appoint this to be my Last will and testament in the manor following and first I commit my body to the Earth to be buried Decently at the Discresion of my Executors hereafter Named and my Soul to God who gave it fully persuaded of a general Resurection and as touching my worldly Estate I appoint that all Debts and funeral charges be first paid and that all the Remainder of my Estate be divided in the following manor.

(I6725)
|
| 2478 | James Clark is in the Cabel Co., VA census of 1830. He and his wife are listed as between age 30 and 40 at the time. No children are listed. He is the only Clark that does not have a large family in that county. This would also suggesas a first wife before he married Polly in 1841. (CL-336) | CLARK, James (I6601)
|
| 2479 | James Clark was the original settler of New Haven, CT. I have found two possible ancestrys listed for him. The one presented most often is James as the son of William and Mary Saxby Clarke/ grandson of George and Elizabeth Wilsforde/ gr.on of James and Elizabeth Ferrers/ gr.gr.grandson of Esquire John Clerk and Lucia Moyle/ g.g.gr grandson of John Clerke and Alice Tatesham/ and g.g.g.gr grandson of John Clerk of Ford, Wrotham, co.Kent, England living in the first half of the 15th century. I have found this lineage repeated in info. from Sylvia Gidley, an Ancestral file and Maude Arunedell-Ross's research. Earl P. Campbell's research that sources the Jan. 1920 article in the NEHG Register, follows this line down corrrectly until it gives the original James as married to a Hannah and dying in London, England in 1649. This last source is considered much more reliable. Upon checking the NEHG, 1920, the following will is attributed to this James Clark, "The Will of James Clarke, Citizen and Grocer of London, dated 6 December 1647. To wife Helen a one-third part of all my goods, another one-third part to my children, James, Mary, and Anne Clarke, and the remaining one-third part to my brother Richard Clarke, and, if he die, to his children. To my son James the lease of my house where I now live. To wife Helen the lease of the house where Joe Nutt, the drugster, dwells, and after her death, to my daughters, Mary and Anne. Executrix: wife Helen. Proved Sept. 10, 1649." (P.C.C., Fairfax, 137)? After studying this will which would fit James and his brother Richard (children of William and Mary Saxby Clarke) and the names of our James's children, I think it unlikely that this lineage belongs to our James. (F-533) The other is from a published Chatterton ancestry entitled "Founders of Early American Families" by Colkef that states he is the POSSIBLE son of Mate Thomas Clark of the "Mayflower" but gives no proof for it's theory. (F-405) The Mate Thomas Clark suggestion goes no farther back at this point. James in both cases was born in England. He and his young family came over on the "Hector" arriving on Jun 26, 1637 in Boston, MA according to "Founders of Early American Families." He came with Davenport's party in the group from Coleman St., St. Stephen Parish, England. (F-80) He and this party settled in New Haven the following year in 1638. He is thought to be a brother to John Clark, also of New Haven. (F-69) James Clark signed the "Fundamental Agreement" at New Haven on the 4th of (Jan.?), 1639 and an oath of loyalty in July 1644. He was on the New Haven list of 1641 and in 1643 court records with 4 persons in his family. He was a surveyor of highways by trade. James appears to have had at least 2 wives. His first wife was ill in July of 1648. If this is Sarah Harvey then she had died by the time he remarried again on 17th Oct. 1661. He lived in Stratford after 1661. The children's mother was listed as Sarah Harvey in all sources I've found.(F-457) Sylvia Gidley's letter had Sarah's marriage date as Apr. 11, 1654 to James. If this was true, then Sarah would not be the mother of James children. I consider it more likely that this was a transcription error, as this marriage record has the same date as a christening record listed for this James Clark on Automated Archives CD-100. Sylvia's first letter also stated he possibly had two other wives... a Mary to begin with and an Elinor Wright. I have seen no verification of this elsewhere. (F-457) There are three very different death dates that have been published for him. It is listed in the Ancestry of Lorenzo Ackley & Emma Bosworth as 1689 because his name is found in a probate index for that year. The original probate page is missing. That particular author also has him listed as a highway surveyor in April, 1680 and fence viewer in April, 1682. He had 2 family members listed in the Dec. 1680 Division list. This information came from the New Haven Colony Records and New Haven Town Records. (F-131) The 1689 date is also in CD-100. The second date in some sources is 1662. I have chosen the most specific date, sent to me by Sylvia Gidley because it gave both the date and place, which usually is supported by an actual record, Dec. 19 1674. (F-457) With the various guesses as to his birth date, death date and his wives, it is possible that there are two James Clarks. The best evidence that there is only one, is the fact that the children basically have the same names in all references to the James Clark who first settled in New Haven, CT. In a Jacobus work on the Hale family, I have also found one of his children named just Ebenezer who had the same parent, spouses, and dates that I take to be his son, Benjamin Ebenezer Clark. | CLARK, James (I12380)

| 2480 | James Clerke's will is transcribed here from the [UL:History of the Clark Family:UL] as sent to me via Maude Arundel Ross. "In H.F. Waters' "Genealogical Gleanings in England", Vol. II, page 1109, we find the last will of James Clerke ass: 'James Clerke, of East Farleigh, Kent, England, gent., 13 July, 1614, proved 1 Nov., 1614, daughter Grace Clerke. I give to Abraham Preble, my servant, five pounds, and to Anne Joyce, my maid, forty shillings, to be paid to every of them within two years after my decease. I give to every of my servants which served me without wages, five shillings apiece, in token of rememberance. Payment to be made to Margery Baker, and she to have a dwelling in my house as before. The reparations of the church, the poor of the parish, Mr Barden, minister, son Edward, wife Mary, my two sisters (not named). I give unto Griffin Roches and Jane his wife, my house and orchard lying at Court Wood gate, in the parish of Hynton, to have and to hold to them during the life of the said Jane, and after her death I give them to Weston Clerke, and to his heirs forever. I give unto Dolor Davis, my servant, my house and land lying in the parish of Marden, which is in the occupation of the Terrye, and after the death of my wife, Mary Clerke, I give unto Weston Clerke all my lands, tenements and hereditaments lying in the parish of Hynton, he paying to his brethren, to every one of them, an hundred pounds, according to my last will, for otherwise I know not how they shall be paid.' " (F-519, 533) The Weston Clerke ihe gives all his lands too is probably his grandson, son of William. (F-533) | CLERKE, James (I13415)
|
| 2481 | James Coate might be living with the Rueben Parker family in Liberty, Tipton, Indiana in the 1860 census. He was age 23 at the time. He might be the 24 year old living with the Ashley Schoulz family instead in Logan, Pike, Indiana in 18n the 1870 census, he might be the James H. Coats, age 32, whose wife was Francis and children were Sellie, Mary and Montovilla, all girls. They lived in Flat Rock, Bartholomew, Indiana. | COATS, James (I2381)
|
| 2482 | James could be the James Stevens married to Mary who had a son named Charles Alfred on Sep. 13, 1874 in Rugby, Warwick, England where his brother George Richard had children the decade before. (C-2482) | STEVENS, James (I1672)
|
| 2483 | James Curtis can be found owning 220 acres on Carraway (River?) in Randolph Co., North Carolina. Their children were named Jacob, Mary, John, Elizabeth, James Jr., Nancy, Sarah and Samuel. His descendants migrated west. (C-2172) | CURTIS, James (I15875)
|
| 2484 | James grew up in Bradford, PA and Columbus, Ohio. He got his electrical engineering degree from Case Institute of Technology now known as Case Western. He had his own business called Micromax for most of his career where he was designing his own small business computers in his home when Bill Gates was designing the Mac in his garage. He spent his 50's and 60's working for other companies. In these capacities, he had the opportunity to create a video camera that scanned the bottom of the oceans for World War II bombs. He also developed a tiny cochlear implant to enable the deaf to hear. His last job was with FedEx as their Principal Engineer. The tiny devices that go on their packages to track them were developed by him. He was a very intelligent man, a good father, and a loving husband. | DUDICK, James A (I12630)
|
| 2485 | James is a probable son of Bartholomew Gaskins of Rio Grande, Ohio In the 1830 census, he is living in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., OH, pg. 141, and he and his wife are between ages 20 and 30, with a son under age 5 and two daughters unded one daughter between 5 and 10. (CL-495, 498, 499) His wife's name is theorized to be Nancy Evans, although she could have married his likely cousin James, instead. | GASKINS, James S (I10414)
|
| 2486 | James is given land in his father's will written in 1803. He is obviously of an age to receive the land at his father's death estimating his birth age to be before 1787 as landowners could be age 16 or older at that time. According to "Tals of Newberry" James, son of Big John and a John Turner, Jr. were involved with the death of a William Cox. William apparently got in a fight with them over a fishing hole around the Saluda River and died in the scuffle. The trial for murder took place in the March 1807 court. John Turner, Jr. was sentenced to the pillary and James fled the state. (C-1838, 1839, 1917, 1922) Most accounts state that nothing further was ever heard of James Coats. According to some descendants, this is the James Coate b. 1779 (from PA) married to Mary West who is the son of Stephen Marmaduke Coate and Martha Ann Matthews. Guy Coates and others believe he is the son of Big John Coate instead. DNA matches with descendants of son Wright, and possible son William are a match to this theory. I've currently placed James married to Mary West as the son of Big John for this reason as well as the following. 1. It doesn't fit that he could be the son of Stephen Marmaduke Coate because: James's first 3 children were all born in SC all previous to the 1807 murder according to their census records. The only Stephen Coates (no Stephen Marmaduke) of this time period we've been able to find lives in Pennsylvania and New York at the time. His children were not being born in South Carolina. 2. James was born in PA in 1779 according to his 1850 census record, but in South Carolina according to his son John C. Coates 1880 census record. If James is the son of Big John who committed murder, he could have lied about his birth place while his son gave the truth not knowing his parents had done otherwise. (C-2216, EL) 3. James, the son of Big John, was involved in a murder in 1807 and escaped from South Carolina. The first verified specific birth date of one of James's children is Elizabeth who was born in 1809 in Miami Co., Ohio. This is also still a fit. (C-482, C-1628) For futher proof, please see the quoted section by Guy Coates below. Guy Coates believes James Coate of Newberry, Twp., Miami Co., Ohio is the missing son of Big John for the following reasons based upon his ancestor's known timeline and his DNA that matches other persons whom were descended from William, Big John's other possible son. Guy Coate's grandfather said that his ancestor, James Coates fought in the War of 1812 and was from Pennsylvania. "A James Coats (is) on the roster of Ohio soldiers in War of 1812. A James Coats is listed as a captain in Westfall's Mounted Company. This group of soldiers was trained in Pennsylvania and assigned the task of building a fort along the Stillwater River near today's Covington, Ohio. The fort was originally named "Fort Recovery," but later became known as "Fort Rowdy." The old fortress, which has been restored as a museum, was part of Newberry Township, Ohio. Between 1810 and 1816 most Miami County residents moved to Darke County, Ohio for a period of years during the Indian uprisings and returned to Miami County after their safety was more assured by the government. According to census records, in 1820 James was living in Adams Twp., Darke County, Ohio. By 1830, James and his family were back in Newberry Twp., Miami County; then by 1846 they were living in Gibson Twp., Mercer County, Ohio. ('The history of Newberry County Ohio mentions William and John Coats who settled in the area with their sons. William and John were probably his brothers, sons of Big John Coate.') Children of James Coats (b. Jan. 28, 1779) & Mary West (b. April 9, 1780).Joseph Coats, b. abt, 1802 William Coats, b. abt. 1803 Abigale Coats, b. Dec. 24, 1803, b. S.C. Mark Coats, b. May 27, 1806 in So. Carolina. d. 8/15/1883 in Koszta, Iowa. Mary Coats, b. July 10, 1806.Elizabeth Coats, b. February 14, 1809.Sarah Coats, b. June 11, 1812.John C. Coats, b.

Now, here is some evidence to consider: James Coats' oldest daughter, Abigale married a man named Abraham Mott and they show up in the 1860 census living in Gibson Township, Mercer County, Ohio. In this census, Abigail shows her place of birth as South Carolina. In addition, living in the same household is probably her mother or mother-in-law, Mary, age 76. (Remember that her husband, James, died in 1856). Mary also shows her place of birth as South Carolina. By 1860, John C. Coats, age 44 year, shows up living in Honey Creek, Iowa. Next door to him is brother, Mark Coats, age 55, who shows his birth place as South Carolina. Finally, in 1880, John C. Coats, age 64, is living in Ionia, Dixon County, Nebraska and in the census he states that both his father and mother were born in South Carolina." Starting with his daughter Elizabeth, in 1809, they were having children in Miami Co., Ohio. His son John born 1817 is the last child that can be verified as being born in Miami Co., Ohio. He is living in Newberry Twp. in the 1835 tax lists for Miami Co., Ohio. His grandson, Eli Inman Coate was born in 1843 in Covington, Miami Co., Ohio (Covington is north of Ludlow Falls, Miami Co., OH) A James Coate family that appears to fit this James and not the James who is the son of Marmaduke Coate in Miami Co, OH is in the census in 1830, 1840 and 1850 for Miami Co., Ohio (C-1628) In the 1830 Newberry Twp., Miami Co., Ohio census, he is between the age of 50-60 and his wife is of 40-50. They have the following children in their family: 1 son under 5, 1 from 10-15, 1 from 15-20, 1 from 20-30 and 1 daughter of 5-10 and 1 of 15-20. They are living next door to their son Mark Coats. They are living within six farms of John Coats, Sr. and Jr. in Newberry Twp. that is related to Steve Pearson's family. The connection is not known however. He might be the following James and Mary Coate in the 1850 census records for Clinton County, Ohio, Chester Township. He is 66 years old and Mary Coats is 63 living at the residence of a blacksmith named Seaseney (sp?), probably in Wilmington, Ohio. Both are from South Carolina. If this is him, James would have been born in 1783 and Mary in 1786. Some researchers believe that James died in 1856. He might be buried near Wilmington, Ohio or in Iowa Co., Iowa as others claim. It should be noted though that Mary is listed with a birth date of 4/19/1780 in several 2nd hand sources and at age 76 in the 1860 census where she is living with her daughter, Abigail Mott. | COATS, James (I14849)
|
| 2487 | James is listed as son James Cole in his father's administration in 1802. He and his mother, Rachel, were both executors. There is also a John Cole who helped do the inventory of the estate who is a likely brother. | COLE, James (I1213)
|
| 2488 | James is listed in Medlin's, "Quaker Families". There is an Allen Creagh Coates buried in the same cemetery as James M. Coates and his wife though they are not near each other. He was born on June 28, 1856 and died in Oct. 21, 1916. Hd easily be a child of the above James M. (C-1927, 2017) | COATES, James Madison (I14642)
|
| 2489 | James is living at home in the 1820 census. He married Rebecca Parish. His widow lived within a few houses of likely brother Shadrick in the 1840 census. Next to his widow lived a cousin, James Calhoun, who was slightly older than him. </line><line /><line>In the 1830 census, he lived next to his brother, Moses Calhoun, but was on the next pape of the census record making their connection unnoticed. Their father Samuel's record where he was between the age of 70 and 79 was a few homes above Moses' record. His likely mother-in-law and 2 siblings are living with them. </line><line /><line>Joseph Parish was the bondsman for Rebecca Parish when she and James married telling us that is her likely father or her brother if her father is deceased.</line><line /><line /><line /><line /> | CALHOON, James (1810 census for father Samuel- age 10-15) (I11023)
|
| 2490 | James is on the Newberry Twp., Miami Co., OH tax lists living near his brothers in 1835. | COATE, James B. (I1286)
|
| 2491 | James is the son of Benjamin and Mary according to English baptismal records. He was baptized on May 26, 1805 or 1806 depending upon which translation is read. He was born in Dudley, Worcestershire, England according to the 1851 census.t the researcher needs to know is that Dudley, Staffordshire, England was part of the county of Worcestershire, England for many years meaning that his parents still lived near Rowley Regis, Dudley, Staffordshire, England where they grew up when James was born. He likely has siblings or cousins named Benjamin (b.1804) m. Fanny, Samuel (b. bef 1810) m. Elizabeth, Benjamin (b. 1803) m. Sarah, and Josh (b. 1802) m. Ann who all gave their birthplace as Dudley, Worcestershire, England in this census. There is a John Dimmack in Dudley, Worcestershire, England that might be a brother of this James who was having children in 1824 in Dudley. In that same town, a Mary Ann Dimmack married in 1848 who could be a daughter of this James also. (C-2580) As for his parents, there is a John Dimmock, b. abt. 1777 in Dudley, Worcestershire, England who was still in residence in Dudley in the 1851 census, though it's county location was now listed as Staffordshire, England. His wife's name was Ann. If John is James' father, it's not a name carried down in the family. Any of the following newspaper entries might apply to this James. There is only 1 James Dimmock anywhere in Staffordshire in the newspapers. Though he appears to be of higher standing than that of a coal minor it still might be the 1 James Dimmock who is in the 1841 and 1851 census records as well as the news for Staffordshire.

| 2492 | James Jay settled in southwestern Person Co., North Carolina. He was a private in the Revolutionary War from North Carolina. (C-458, p. 1587) He was a Baptist preacher. He died in Person Co., NC in 1833. and is buried in Jay Cemetery offipes Rd (near Bushy Fork). Some of his descendants live there today. It was the same land he originally lived on in Orange Co., NC, but it became Caswell and then Person County through boundary changes. (C-642) He and his other two oldest brothers were not in their father's will supposedly because they stayed behind in North Carolina when the elder William moved to South Carolina. (C-169, 831) His full name was James George according to his descendant named JJ from Texas. (C-817) | JAY, James (I12006)
|
| 2493 | James Jr. bought 194 acres from Josiah Ballinger in Frederick Co., VA, a son of Henry Ballinger Sr. about 1750. James moved across the Blue Ridge mountains during the French and Indian Wars to Guilford Co., NC and were members of the News MM. They moved back to Frederick Co., VA in 1762. He and his wife had 9 children. (C-624,759,956) It is often listed that he had a second wife named Pheobe, but this is an error. It's his son, James that married Pheobe Parkins. (C-2034, E) | WRIGHT, James (I15809)
|
| 2494 | James Jr. received 300 acres of an original land grant in Oct. of 1783 in Guilford Co., NC. He had applied to receive a parcel of vacant land in July of 1779. It basically took over 4 years to be granted some. It was described as land on both sides of Troublesome Creek. This James has another male in his household in 1790 over age 16. I suggest this was his theorized brother Hugh who was born abt. 1767. Their father still had one son living at home in 1790 whom I believe to be John Johnston Calhoun who was over age 16. I suspect that is why his father gave him the home he was living in as he was caring for the farm and his mother already in 1795 when he was ill and passing from this life. Brother John never bought more land and sold at least some of it to his brother Samuel in 1797. Since he did not sell land to brother, James, it also indicates he was not the brother living with this James in the 1790 census. | CALHOON, James Jr. (1810 census - one over 45) (I9292)
|
| 2495 | James served in the Civil War in the 173rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Company C. He enlisted on Aug 15, 1864 at Centerville, Gallia Co, Ohio. He mustered into the service with the regiment of Sep 17 of that year. Within 3 mony Dec. 23, 1864 he fell ill and was placed in the U.S. Army General Hospital Number 2 in Nashville, TN. He died in Tennessee on Jan. 21, 1865 from complications of Typhoid fever. He is buried in Nashville National Cemetery where a correspondent, Major Richard Blanton has seen his grave. His wife Nancy signed for his personal effects and was listed as living at Thurman, Ohio at the time. (CL-89, 444, 445, 454) | DANNER, James Henry (I12061)
|
| 2496 | James Smiley is in the 1830 census for Edgefield, SC listed at age between 40 and 49. His wife is listed at age 30-39. (C-1573) In James's Smyley's will written in 1838, he lists children as John S., James C., William S., Dan Coats Smyly, Andrew Jackson, Hannah Virginia, Caroline Anna, Elizabeth Eleanor, and Margaret L. Laudans. (E) | SMYLEY, James (I14771)

| 2497 | James supposedly died young. (E) | HOTCHKISS, James (I490)
|
| 2498 | James was a carpenter. He emigrated to Pennsylvania before 1691 and was a member of the Philadelphia Monthly Meeting. His brother, Samuel was a witness to his marriage in that year. He purchased a lot on the 2nd street in the town of Philia, fifty feet fronting on Walnut Street from John Parsons on Oct. 20, 1691. (Park's book) James also is probably the James that witnessed the marriage of James Pratt and Mary Bristol in the Abington M.M. in Chester County, Pennsylvania in 1689 and the James who attended the marriage of Joseph Nicholson of Alloways Creek and Hannah Wood of Gloucester Co., PA in 1695 in Newtown MM, Pennsylvania. (C-1, 1976) James and wife Mary had at least son, John, and daughter, Ann and "others" as he calls them in his will. Professor Dornan states that the "others" definitely includes a Mary. One source lists an additional daughter named Rebecka, a son named Thomas, and gives his wife's burial date as 9/15/1701. I question this, since the wife's burial date is untrue. His wife Mary is the executor for his will in 1705. Brothers Archibald Meikle and Abrahm Carliell are also named. If they are actually relatives, they might be his brother-in-laws and be married to sisters of him or his wife. (Will Book B, p. 414) Note that James's son John attended the wedding of Daniel Mickle and Hannah Dennis in 1711 of Newton MM, Pennsylvania. This would make even more sense if he and Daniel Mickle (son of Abraham Meikle?) were cousins. (C-995, 1006, 1347) A transcript of James's will follows: LDS# 21721 - Book B page 414 - 1705 - will # 152 - James Coate, He has land lying between *my now dwelling house & the house and lott of Thomas Bradford extending from Wallnut Street Southward the whole length of my lott for the best price....* Wife is Mary Coate, Son John Coate - under 21, daughter - oldest daughter shall marry, daughter Ann, House goes to son John Coate at Mary's death, the residue go to the *rest of my children*, wife Mary Coate sole executrix, brothers Archibal Meikle & Abraham Carlisle as trustees, signed James Coate - 1704, probate date is April 19th 1705, Witneses are Wm Crisp, Abraham Carliell and Richard Heatte or Heath. Mary Coate, his widow, and his son John Coate, carpenter, sold a lot on Walnut Street, near Dock Street to John Lewis on January 4, 1713. James Coate had purchased this lot on Dec. 9, 1700. (Park's book) Who are James other possible children that he did not name in his will? If he married in 1691 and died in 1705 and had children every two years on average, he could have had up to 7 or 8 children. Hinshaw says that there were 2 Elizabeths born to James and Mary that died in 1697 and 1714 respectively. His possible "other" children include the extra Samuel Coate in the NJ area, the James Coate who is listed 3rd in the line of closest relatives to his daughter Mary at her wedding, the Elizabeth Coate who was listed directly after James Coate (though I believe it more likely that Elizabeth was James' wife) or the Henry Coats listed 5th in the closest kin's column to the marriage of Mary, d. of James in 1720. James Coate signed the Pennsylvania Petition in 1692 in the Philadelphia Colony. (C-1462) | COATE, James (I12215)

| 2499 | James was a self made man. On his own he achieved ownership of much town and country realty. He was also a live stock dealer. He was even a teacher for a time and spent many hours in self-education. He moved to Sangamon, IL in 1856. Hested as one of the "substantial citizens of Springfield," in "The Past and Present of the City of Springfield and Sangamon Co., IL." (CL-327) | TOBIN, James (I11754)

| 2500 | James was an immigrant from South Caroline to the Miami Co., OH area. He bought Mote's farm in 1814 until he sold it in 1827. He next moved to the Randolph Monthly Meeting region east of Little York in Montgomery Co., OH but returned ton, OH in 1829 where he still owned town lots. He had decided he liked the teachings of Elias Hicks which meant that he was disowned from the Quaker Church near the end of his life. Before that he had been a leading figure in West Branch's Monthly Meeting whose name was often recorded in the minutes. He died in 1830 due to weakness of his lungs. | PATTY, James (I7739)
