2551	Joe and Earl Forte owned picture theaters in West Philadelphia, Ambassador, Sherwood, Baltimore and Byrd. They were the two siblings that were very close. Joe died of a heart attack & Earl died the next day. Both had families. Its that Joe was the son to fill out the information on his mother's death certificate as J.A. Forte was listed as the informant. He did not know his mother's father's first name.	FORTE, Joseph Aloyisious (I11672)
2552	Johanne's parents aren't known. The following record is one possible match for his birth date and parentage. A Johannes Eckstein was chr. 1787 in Hesse, Germany. His parents were Johann Valentin Eckstein and Maria Christina Heitzin. Rd in Evangelisch, Ober Bridenbach, Oberrhessen, Hesse Darmstadt on 9 Jan. 1787 according to an I.G.I. record. (F-235)	ECKSTEIN, Johanne (I16221)
2553	Johannes settled in Frederick Twp., Philadelphia Co., PA (now Montgomery Co., PA). He received a land warrent in Philadelphia for 150 acres in Sep. 1734. He probably made a trip back to England as he arrived on the CHARMING NANCY i. Prior to 1750, he moved to Berks Co., Pennsylvania. (C-131) He is on record as being an Elder and Deacon at St. Joseph's Church (formerly Oley Hills) in Pike Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. (C-357) This is where many of his grandchildren were baptized. (C-2408) According to one descendant's tradition, he was married 4 times, once to a American Indian. He and his family are supposedly buried in an unmarked grave across the street from the cemetery in Rough & Ready, Pennsylvania. Another possible son of this Johannes would be Sergt. Henry Harp who was born in 1735. He served as a Private and Sergeant in the 3rd Regiment, Ulster Co., NY troops under Colonel Pawling. He was born in Pennsylvania and died in Ulster Co., NY. In 1760 he married Lydia Wood. (C-714)	HERB, Johannes (Jacob) (I16175)
2554	Johannis or John in English married in Alne. He had at least 3 of his children in Alne. He probably is the John Coates who died in 1669 in Stokesley. Stokesly is 30 miles north of Alne. Thirsk where his possible son John had children was halfway in between the two. John might have originally been from Stokesley as there were Cootes families there in the 1580's as attested by the following frereg.org.uk record.</line><line /><line>Place (Links to more information) Stokesley Church name (Links to more information) St Peter and St Paul Register type (Links to more information) Other Transcript Burial date 27 May 1580 Burial person forename George Burial person surname COOTES</line><line /><line>This theory is supported by the fact that between John's birth in Stokesly and his burial in Stokely, he had no other life events there. His life events took place in Alne. He might have died in Alne also and simply been buried back on the family plot in Stokesly at his death. If this theory is correct, he would have been the right peerage to be the son of William in the following record from Familysearch.org.</line><line /><line>Principal England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 Christening24 June 1594 Stokesley, Yorkshire, England Father:Willm.

2555	John Dudick was born and raised in Bradford, Pennsylvania. He enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Force Reserve as an aviation cadet in 1944. He was called to active duty in March 1945. The war in Europe ended in May of 1945, and aviation cadets were not needed so he did not get a chance to fly. Interestingly, he graduated from St. Bernard High School in June of 1945, 3 months after he was called to active duty according to the Bradford Era Newspaper. He did solo, at his own expense, at Desert Skyway Airport, Boulder City, Nevada in November, 1945. He did not see combat but was a member of the occupational forces in Germany after the war was over. In a June 29, 1945 Bradford Era newspaper, his parents had received notice that he was promoted from Private to Corporal. He did get to sit in on the Nuremberg War Trials in the fall of 1946. John's first job after the war was with Kendall Refining Co., Bradford, Pennsylvania This is the company that he loyally worked for, for forty-one years until retiring in January of 1990. He worked in all positions with the company, from digging ditches to Process Operator to District Manager and Farm Director. He had performed all types of work while in maintenance with painters, electricians, welders, machinists, riggers and millwrights. He became well known in the Farm Director's Position as he was responsible for the truck and tractor pulling program nationally and was involved there for 21 years. He continued as consultant in this position for the first summer of his retirement. Several excellent articles on John Dudick are in "The Puller" magazine. (See Feb. 1990 issue for retirement photos) (D:DOC) He met his wife, Doris Forte, in December, 1946. They eloped to wed in February, 1949 while she was in the process of working towards her nursing degree. Doris is a steady and wise mother of four and grandmother of seven. She's an interesting person to talk with. She enjoys children, grandchildren, traveling, reading, knitting, and needlecraft. She remembers fondly her interest of her youth, that of roller skating. She and her friends apparently spent much of their free time at the rink and were quite skilled. She was attending the College of Saint Teresa in Winona, Minnesota working on her Nursing degree in 1947 while dating her husband. She left college to marry in 1949. (F-400) The Dudick's lived at 63 Clarence St., Bradford, PA in 1958 when their son James was admitted to the hospital. John Dudick had lived on 283 Congress St. in Bradford when he moved out of his parent's home as a young man. As an adult, he and family lived at 5505 Crawford Dr., Columbus, Ohio 43229 from 1962 through 1995. Sources on the above information came from John and Doris Dudick and from the April 1987 issue of "The Puller" magazine, pages 16 to 18.	DUDICK, John Joseph Jr. (I12194)
2556	John and Agnes's children were born between 1563 and 1575. (F-443)	SPERRY, John (I13481)
2557	John and brother Gideon moved to Cherokee Co., Alabama after their father's death. They are often confused with persons of the same name who are likely their relatives buried in Missouri. It is also highly likely that the info on the Sn SC is confused between at least a second set of Sions also in that region. There is a second set of brothers named Sion (1807-1856) and Gideon E. Coats (Jun24 1811-1884) that are buried within 2 miles of each other in Etowah Co., AL (was then Cherokee Co.) whose stepmother Sarah Perry was said to have moved from SC with them. (C-1992)	COATS, John (I1295)
2558	John and his wife had 13 children. (C-1339)	COULSON, John (I13972)
2559	John and Mary had Elizabeth in 1794 in Raglan which is only six miles from Llanarth, Wales. Daughter, Elizabeth, was of Llanarth when she married in 1819. He is also likely to be the John baptised in May of 1765 nine miles from Raglan where his children were born.	PARRY, John (I15173)
2560	John and Mary were from Spitalfields, a town near London, England. John married twice. He was a Quaker who actually visited but did not settle in the American colonies. He and his second wife died when Mary was a young woman. He wasd as age 75 at his death. (C-1447) His parents might be Richard Bowater and Elizabeth Sadler instead. (Gedmatch)	BOWATER, John * (I14257)
2561	John and Mary's children were supposedly born between 1598 and abt. 1606. If this is true, they were born very close together.	SPERRY, John (I13454)
2562	John and Sarah had a dozen children. A likely descendant of this John and Sarah has 36 out of 37 DNA matches to my Marmaduke line meaning their is a 90 plus percent likelyhood that we have the same ancestor within 8 generations. (C-162	COATE, John (I14748)
2563	John and step brother, Andrew Price, were to receive various tracts of land that their mother Ann Price had bought from Mr. Bladen, Mr. Tasher/Lasher and Coll Tillghman/Lillghman.	PRICE, Andrew (I2466)
2564	John and step brother, Andrew Price, were to receive various tracts of land that their mother Ann Price had bought from Mr. Bladen, Mr. Tasher/Lasher and Coll Tillghman/Lillghman. He was also given slaves in her will named Jack, Doane, Mad a boy named Tom. I included their names to honor them and help their descendants find them.	GRIFFITH, John (I2889)
2565	John Clerke was of Inkpell and listed in the Co. of Berks when in the Exchaequer records in 1433. (12th year of Henry VI). Though the source I am using applies this statement to this John, I think it personally is more likely to apply toather... but further research is needed. He was the Baron of Exchequer from Oct. 1468 through 1478. John Clerk, Senior, Gent. wrote his will on Mar 21, 1479/80 in the Parish of St. Clement Danes. He requested that he be buried in the church of the Friars Minor. He gave money to his church "for tithes forgotten", the poor of Wroteham to be distributed on the day of his death, to his godsons (unnamed) and his Sister Beatrice. He gave the jewels and utensils to his wife, Alice and the residue of his household to both son, John and wife Alice, his executors. He gave his lands in Middleton, Wade, "The Fawnes" and a marsh in Clyve called "The Swhere" to wife Alice that were to go to son John upon his death. He gave the rest of his lands to son John in Wroteham, Stansted, Trottisclif, Adyngton, Reyersshe and Guldying. It was proved at Knoll Mar 10, 1480/1. (F-533, 598)	CLERKE, John (I14332)
2566	John Coate received the tract of land across from "Wells Ferry" that crossed the Delaware River to the Province of Pennsylvania from his father Samuel in his will. He applied for and received a license from Gov. Burnet to operate a ferryell township, Hunterdon Co., NJ on his side of the Delaware on Apr 30, 1726. He is listed as owning a hotel at this crossing too. ("Ferry Tracts in Pennsylvania and New Jersey", p.602) In 1728, he sold 200 acres of this tract of land to John Purcell and another 30 acres on Augst 4, 1732. This same tract when resold in 1732 includes a course described as "a post standing by the Kings Road that leads to the ferry over the aforesaid River Delaware to John Wells." (C-1542) By 1732, he was listed as living in Bethlehem Twp., Hunterdon Co., NJ. (It was Bethlehem Twp. through at least 1741, then Kingwood and is now Franklin Township.) His property was a couple miles from Quakertown, NJ. It is likely that land that Josoph R. Mathews lived on according to "The Jerseyman". He no longer lived on it by 1743. The 1732 deed refers to a post in William Coates and in Henry Coates land (his brothers' land) (C-1499) Both he and Henry were members of Kingwood Friends Quaker Meeting. He voted in the 1738 elections for John Emley and Benj. Smith and was listed as living in Amwell Twp. at that time. He did not vote for a Jno. Coate also running in that election. By 1741, he is listed as a freeholder in Bethlehem Twp. , NJ again. That means that he owned at least 50 acres, cultivated at least 10 of them or if in a burrough, that he owned at least 3 acres and a home. (C-1824) John's death date is probably 1751. John Coate, Sr., Tavern Keeper of Kingwood Twp. left his estate to wife Esther, son Henry and other unnamed children in his will dated May 3, 1751. It was probated on Sept. 3, 1751. It is transcribed here by Charlotte Coats. "John Coate, May 5, 1751, of Kingwood Township, Hunterdon Co., tavern keeper; will of. Wife, Esther. children spoken of, but not by name, except son Henry, who and his mother are made executors. Witnesses-Nathaniel Leforge, James Brooks, John Simcock, sr. Proved Sept 10, 1751; Sept 3, 1751, inventory 368.16.3 pounds, incl. books; a silver spoon; bounds and book debts, 320 pounds; made by John Mullinner and Nathaniel Leforge. Calendar of New Jersey Wills, Vol III, 1751-1760" (C-1p.166, 296, E) Bible records for this family exist in a Bible published in Edinburgh by Alexander Kinciad in the 1770's or 1780s. All the dates in it for this family were written in one hand, years after the dates actually occurred. (C-296) According to one Public Family Tree at ancestrees, John was born in Hempstead, Queens, New York instead. This is not where I've found the family living before at all, but am including it for further study.	COATE, John (I11903)
2567	John Cornwell of London, England conveyed legacies to John and Margaret Turner in his will dated Mar 27, 1694. John Turner died not long after in his previous residence of All Hollow's Parish, Ann Arundel, Maryland. Margaret as a widowt 1, 1705 conveyed this deed to her daughter Mary whether she be in Maryland or overseas and her grandchildren by son John. Though we only have 2nd hand sources so far stating that Mary Turner is the wife of John Ponder and daughter of this John Turner, my mother does have matches with other persons that descend from this John. One of the matches is 5.1 cM's which is good for a match this far back in time. The only surnames my mother has in common with these cousins would be the Turners after the 1500's to account for the closest DNA matches.

2568	John Deal and wife are living in Gallia Co., Oh in 1830. He is listed on the page previous to Bartholomew Coppock's census page, meaning he lived within a few homes of Bartholomew Coppock in the 1830 census.	DEAL, John (I9140)
2569	John DEWEY and Martha KNOWLES were the witnesses at their marriage.	WELLARD, Anne * (I18340)
2570	John did not move with his father to Maryland in 1650. He was transported there by Thomas Sechworth in 1662. He was the only son of Matthew to change his religious beliefs and become a Quaker. He was the only son of Matthew to marry twoth times to widows. His land was called "Howard's Interest". Only one of his sons lived to adulthood, a John Howard. This Howard line can be traced to the prestigious Howard family of England in part due to the fact that John stamped his will in wax with the arms of the Ducal House of Norfolk. His will is still preserved in Annapolis, Maryland today.	HOWARD, John (I5678)
2571	John died either in Chester Co., PA or Cecil Co., MD. He is probably buried at the Old Welsh Tract Baptist Meeting House in Pencader Hundred, New Castle Co., (DE) where he was a member. (C-956)	HOLLINGSWORTH, John (I15526)
2572	John died in the Civil War in Tennessee while serving about a year. He was apparently discharged at Camp Pittsburg (Shiloh or Pittsburg Landing) before dying from disease in Tennessee and is buried in Nashville National Cemetery near hisr James Henry Danner. He was in the 31st Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Co. E or H which formed in Columbus, Ohio (CL-89,444, 445) There is a possibility that his birth date is miscalculated and that he married Margaret Gillen on Oct. 31, 1861. Also in Gallia County marriages, there was a John R. Danner who married Eliza Flowers on Aug. 22, 1864. (CL-190, 369)	DANNER, John (S.) (I21)
2573	John fought against the Bruce at Bannockburn and died in disgrace at Kilfinan in 1353 Eo in mic 3rd laird 1295-1353. John(Sir)the White' LYON In the early 1300s, came a great down turn in the Clan's fortunes. Laumon's grandson, Sir John, supported the MacDougalls of Lorne against Robert the Bruce. The Lamonts of Ardlamont, however, who held their land as vassals of the High Steward in Bute , may have fought in Bruce's bodyguard at Bannockburn. When Bruce was secure on the Scottish throne the Lamont Chief suffered with the House of Lorne and the Clan's land was claimed by the king's loyal supporter, Campbell, Black Knight of Lochawe. When Bruce was secure on the Scottish throne the Lamont Chief suffered with the House of Lorne and the Clan's land was claimed by the king's loyal supporter, Campbell, Black Knight of Lochawe. By the end of the 14th century a great deal of the original territory of the clan had been lost; and thus began a feud between the Lamonts and the Campbells which continued on and off for centuries in spite of considerable intermarriage.	LAMONT, John 3rd Chief Of The Lamonts (I5235)
2574	John fought in the famous Battle of Point Pleasant. He is thought to have joined up with Daniel Boone when he opened the Cumberland Gap before he was scalped by Indians in Tennesse.	WOOD, John (Half-brother) (I9879)
2575	John Gum of Augusta Co., VA sold land to Jacob Gum, tanner, of Sussex Co., Delaware for 20 lbs in 1767 where Jacob lived in Broadkill Hundred called Hatfield Wood. Part of this land was sold by Moulson to Roger Gum, grandfather ofd great grandfather of Jacob Gum. Roger Gum by will gave his land to son John Gum who died intestate giving the land to several of his children, one of which was John.	GUM, John (I10206)
2576	John H. is in the deed records for Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in 1850 and 1856. He originally purchased 226 acres and later added 40 more. His property is listed in the 1871 Atlas of Miami Co., Ohio published by C.O. Titus in Union Twp.d between the Heirs of Aaron Coppock and Benj. Coppock. He was the first dairy farmer in the state and well respected stock dealer of his dairy cattle. By 1897 he was supplying local hotels, restaurants and the Soldiers home with the finest butter anywhere. (C-26, 1025) In the 1850 census, John Coate is 24 years old, a farmer worth $5000 in real estate. He was living with his wife Jane, age 20 and was married within the year of the census. This census was taken in late 49 or 50 before the month of Octs stepmother, Eunice Cothran Coate, who is 57 years old is living with them. John and Jane were born in Ohio Eunice was born in South Carolina. In the 1860 census records, John's worth is estimated at about $14,000. He was a farmer. In the 1880 Ohio census records for Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio, he was 55, a farmer and sick that day of disease of the bowels. He said he was born in Ohio and both his parents were born in North Carolina. The data for his family was: wife Jane C., age 51, born Ohio as well as her parents, Warren, age 24, b. OH; Ida J., daughter-in-law, age 20 b. OH as well as her parents; Loretta, age 18, b. OH; Maurie J., age 8/12, b. Sept. 1879 in OH; Rachul Coppock, age 71, Mother-in-law, b. Oh, her parents born, North Carolina; (Eluoia) Coppock, age 18, niece, Servant, born Indiana, parents born in Ohio. (C-385) His father's third wife, Eunice, also lived with them in both the 1850 and 1860 census records. John H. was living with his daughter Loretta and son-in-law, Edgar W. Yount in the 1900 census records. (C-224) He might be the John Coate who was a dealer in groceries, wood, coal, lime, hair plaster and cement in Beers History of Miami Co. OH, though this is more likely to refer to another John, as the census records consistently list him as a farmeC-10) Specifically, we know for certain that he was a dairy farmer in Miami Co., Ohio. His death date is the 24th on his death certificate and the 26th on his cemetery stone. I do not know which is correct.	COATE, John Haskett * (I11791)
2577	John had eight children by his first wife. He married Barbara Evans sometime between the 1910 and 1920 census. John lived with his first wife in Plain City, Jerome Twp, Union Co., Ohio as that was his residence when his father died in 1d in the 1900 census records. In the 1910 census, he and his wife Ellen lived in Marion Twp., Franklin Co., Ohio with their five youngest children. He was listed as a teamster. He and his 2nd wife lived in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio in the 1920 census. He was 10 years older than his second wife, Barbara. He is remembered by my mother as a small, sweet man who loved my mother and her sister's sticky candy, fudge cooked to a sticky state. (CL-68,138)	TOBIN, John W. (I11617)
2578	John held the title of Knight. (F-520)	CATESBY, Sir John (I14318)
2579	John Hotchkiss was a draper by trade. He left a will on Nov. 25, 1657 naming daughters, Aurelia, Sarah, Susanna, Elizabeth, and sons, John, Thomas, Joshua, and Samuel (if he be living, if not to his children.) (F-433)	HOTCHKISS, John (I12064)
2580	John is in the 1830 Gallia Co., Ohio census at between the age of 20 & 30 with a wife of the same age. He was having children in Indiana from the 1830's and the mid 1840's. He might be the John Tharp living somewhat near his parentse 1840 Boone Co., IN census. He had one son at that time under age 5. In the 1840 Boone Co., IN census, he also had a daughter age 10-15, a son age 5-10, a daughter age 5-10, two sons under age 5 and another daughter under age 5 in this census. He and his family are living in Benton Co., IA in the 1860 Fed. Census. Here are their children's birth dates from the 1860 census. "James ? b. l831, Mary Ann b. 13 May 1832 in Gallia Co. OH, Eunice b. Feb 1833 OH, Martin V b.1838 IN, William b. 1839 IN, Harriet b. 1846 IN. In 1870 Federal census John and Harriet are living alone in Linn Co., IA. (CL-425) John's exact birth date is in question. According to his death record, he died in in 1874 at the age of 78.3 years. This would give him a birth date of abt. 1796. According to the 1830 census though, he would have been born in 1800 at the earliest. Since that is an earlier record, I suspect it could be more accurate, but further census records need checked for his age to determine reliability. If he was born in 1796, it's more likely that he was born in North Carolina as very few settlers were living in Gallia Co., (then Washington Co.), Ohio in 1796.	THARP, John (I7902)
2581	John is listed as a carpenter in his daughter's marriage record and again in the 1871 census for Shoreditch, London, England. In that census, he is 67 years of age, living with his wife, Isabella, age 64 and his granddaughter, Margaret E. Lowe, age 8 who was born in Hoxton, Middlesex Co., ENG.</line><line /><line>There are several more John Tonkins in the 1871 census records born at similar times with different wives. There is one John Tonkin that was imprisioned for beating up another man of Crowan, UK. That was 38 miles from where our John was born and 277 miles from Finsbury, London, England where he lived when and had children from the John that was in jail. It's not likely to be him.	TONKIN, John (I5940)
2582	John is listed as a widow in the 1900 census for Greene Co., Illinois.	COATS, John Alexander (I9585)
2583	John is listed in "Notes from Friends Records in England" when he requested a certificate of his clearness from the Alton Monthly Meeting on Nov. 19, 1680. It was granted. He came to the colonies from Bucklebury, Berkshire, England wherecame one of Penn's surveyors. (C-869, 2251g) On Aug. 2, 1684, William Lamboll deeded 100 acres to John Brunsden. John and Alice had three children: John, Hannah, and Alice. (C-172)	BRUNSDEN, John (I15896)
2584	John is often listed as the son of Bartholomew and Marjorie as they had a son John christened in 1636. However, this is incorrect since Bartholomew and Marjorie's son, John died on Dec. 27, 1636 as verified in Parish records. Current infon form Parish records suggest that he might be 1) John Jr. Coppock who was christened on Oct. 12, 1634 in Wilmslow as sorted by Allen Dale or 2) the John who is listed as the son of William in William's brother John's will written in Mobberly, England in 1665. I am currently using Allen Dale's sorting for him. (C-1333b, 2247, 2551, E) In Mobberly, England a Coppock household is the oldest standing home at the current time. (1999) It's residents are Malcolm and Dotty Dennison. An old Coppock farm also in that region is currently lived in by a Mrs. Nixon. Cousins, Jill and daughter, Leslie Coppock own a nearby antique shop, so that descendants of this family live on in the area. (C-2293E) There are three death dates for persons named John back in England in this time period. 1) One is 1666 in Moberley, Cheshire Co, Eng. records. This one applies to the John, the tanner, who wrote his will in 1665 which was probated in 1666 in Mobberly, Cheshire, ENG. His wife's name was Margaret Dean whom he married in 1634 in Mobberley. He had grown children when he wrote his will. 2) One is a will for a John in 1684, Yeoman, in Greadby, ENG. He also had grown children at the time of the writing of his will in 1660 meaning that would have been born at least two decades before our John. 3) The other possible death date for this John is Dec 31, 1709. (C-1304d, 2247, 2250E) The children of this John and Susan are mostly conjecture. They all had a father named John. Only Rose and Francis can be verified as belonging to this John and Susan in the Mobberly records. They might also have had a son named Thomas who is in the following death record listings for Mobberly Parish. "Thomas Coppock 'ye son of John Coppock buryed ye 22nd day [Oct 1679] and affidavit brought within ye space of 8 days after bearing date ye 27 - 1679." Aaron Coppock, christened in 1666, a son of John in Mobberly records is often connected with this family too. I for one have placed Aaron as the son of John the Tanner married to Margaret Dean because the fit matches other pieces of evidence better.	COPPOCK, John (I12996)
2585	John is problably the person of that name who purchased 160 acres of land in Howard Co., IN on 4/10/1849.	WRIGHT, John Prior (I14957)
2586	John is the ancestor of a high school classmate of James Hetzer. James Hetzer descends through John's brother, Matthew Nutter.	NUTTER, John (I1176)
2587	John is the eldest son of Sir John de Digby and Arabella Harcourt. He has the title Knight in the original Digby family records. Annie Coppock Kransdorf interprets his "disk" on the Digby Manuscript to be "John de Digbie, Knighte, marrie Wake and had issue in the 20th yeere of Edward 3, 1345(6?)." She states that the 20th year is an error, it would have been the 18th year of Edward III's reign. This does not fit with the likely birthdates of the children. (C-1441, 2267) It should be noted that Burke's "A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain, V. 4" says that this John married to Elizabeth Osville is the son of Robert de Digeby and Sibella, grandson of John de Digeby and great grandson of Sir John de Digeby and Arabella Haracourt instead. Burke's work was based upon the extensive 1634 genealogy done of the Digeby family.	DE DIGBIE, Sir John (I13070)
2588	John is the father of an unreadable child's name in 1623 in Curry Rivel. We know from his grandmother, Marie Somner Coate's will written in 1626 that this child's name was either Mary, John or Joan.	WOODBORNE, John (I10290)
2589	John is the second eldest son of John De Digby and Margaret Wake. (C-1441) He lived during the reign of King Edward I. (C-2162)	DE DIGBY, John (I13190)
2590	John Jay, sometimes mentioned to have died young, is listed in the will of John Gallop, his grandfather, in 1649. He witnessed a deed in 1661 in Hingham, MA. His name in a photstat copy was spelled Jvey or Juey or Ivey, a variation of Jos brother's descendants carried the name Joy. John is mentioned on Sept. 30, 1672 in the Boston Record of Boston Commissioners, Vol. IX, p. 123. John was discharged from Capt. Wm. Turner's Co. of Marlboro in King Philip's War. This war took place between 1675-1676. This was a Baptist Company of followers of Turner. He possibly died in a later engagement in that war. (C-172,813, F-579) The following quote is from the "Joy Genealogy", pg. 50, by Helen Bourne Lee in 1968 as forwarded in an email from Christie Trapp. As the 2nd child of Thomas Joy and Joan Gallop: "b. Boston, Mass 10 Aug 1641, bp Oct 1641 First Ch Boston, prob killed in King Philip's War. named in grandfather John Gallop's will 1649, not in father's will 1677. A John Joy m.

2591	John Joseph Dudick, Sr. was either born in Germany, Austria, Hungary or in Johnsonburg, Pennsylvania. His marriage certificate, death certificate and social security records say Pennsylvania, but his son, John remembers him saying he was born in Germany. His birth record has not been able to be located, even though Elk Co., PA kept track of birth records from 1893 to 1905. He also lists his age differently in a couple of different forms. In his marriage record dated Dec. 29, 1919, he lists himself at age 25. His parents lived in Neviczke, Hungary for probably at least 3 generations, but came to America in 1892. If his 1894 birthdate is correct, he was likely born in Pennsylvania. He supposedly lost his father when he was around 6 years of age from descendants' memories. However, according to this article in the Johnsonburg Press, dated January 3, 1908, he was 13 years old when his father died. "County Commissioner Thomas paid a visit to Father Baker's school in Buffalo last week and was much pleased with what he saw at the institution. He took there the thirteen year old son of Joe Dudack, the man who died suddenly at Johnsonburg some weeks ago, and left him. The lad is bright but has never attended school a day in his life. He was anxious to go to the Buffalo institution and Commissioner Thomas thinks it's the place for him. There are seven hundred boys in the school at the present time and they are not only educated, but also taught trades. It's a charitable institution and set up by Father Baker's unceasing efforts in behalf of homeless boys." He worked on the railroad as a young man and picked up quite a bit of Italian because of it. He was a soldier in World War I. He first enlisted May (1), 1917 as a Rig builder. His character was defined as "excellent". He is on a list of injured soldiers from the Pennsylvanians in the Indiana Evening Gazette on Saturday, Nov. 2, 1918. His rank was a private and he was from Kushequa, PA. He was honorably discharged from the 16th Infantry, Co. C, National Guard on Aug. 5, 1917. (D-131) He then apparently re-enlisted in the 112th Infantry, Company C and served in Le Mans, France from 1918-May 6, 1919. (D-132, 134) He was wounded in battle on July 18, 1918 and received the purple heart for gallant service. His son John has a large wide angle picture of him and the 112th in his home. (D:DOC, E) He had to fill out a World War II draft registration card, in which he verifies his birthdate, May 18, 1894 and place, Johnsonburg, PA, his wife's name, Sue, his address, 283 Congress St., Bradford, PA and his career as a fireman. He was 5 foot 7 inches tall, with brown hair, hazel eyes and light complexion. In the 1930 census records for Bradford, McKean Co., PA, John was renting his home. It's contents were worth $35.00. He was age 36 and his wife was listed as age 28. They were married when he was 26 and she was 18. He lists his birth place as New York and his wife's as Pennsylvania. His parents were born in Italy (his stepfather and his spouse) and her parents were born in Austria. Children living in the family were Dorothy Irene, Donald, Evelyn, John and Edward. He was a fireman by trade. According to the Bradford Era, on Oct. 24, 1945, Private John J. Dudick of Congress St. was thrown a birthday party by his mother while on furlough. He had been trained in Las Vegas, Nevada and was expecting to be shipped to the Pacific. This is even more interesting as his birthday was in May. The only family member that I could tell was in attendance was brother, Ed Dudick. According to this same paper, his mother and her husband, Tony Cesario, visited them on Nov. 22, 1945. He and his wife attended the funeral of a cousin, Joseph Michalek, in Nanticoke in April of 1949. He was in the paper again when he fell down the stairs of his home at 15 Park St. and was taken to the hospital in an ambulance on Sep. 11, 1951. He is listed as receiving 26 Park St., in Bradford, PA on Aug. 31, 1954 in Smethport Deeds which was willed to them by neighbor, Albert A. Griffin. John and his wife never lived in this home, but continued to rent the home at 15 Park St. which they had lived in for much of their adult lives. (D-22) Before renting 15 Park St., they lived at 283 Congress St. in Bradford, Pennsylvania. John Joseph Dudick, Jr. remembers both his parents as hard workers. His dad was a jack-of-all trades. He worked much of his life in the fire department as a firefighter and mechanic, doing all the necessary repairs on the fire fighting equipment. He had built a pumping truck from the ground up and was naturally proud of this accomplishment. He had several heart attacks, one of which forced him to retire from the fire department. In the Bradford Era on Apr. 12, 1976, he is listed as having received his 25 year membership for working in Sales at Witco Chemical Corporation. He was always a good provider for his family. For pleasure, he loved to fish. He would take his sons, fishing and hunting. His wife was a very attractive woman. It was always said that her children were well behaved. She liked her children to be well dressed and well mannered. She loved to collect pretty objects. By the end of her life her home was a wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-ceiling collection of old fashioned glassware, photographs and well loved objects. She was a born seamstress and did professional paper hanging. No job was too large to tackle. She did everything well. John, Jr. remembers this about his family life. He says they always ate well, even during the depression. His father only took a belt to him once when he kept a friend out in the hills so long that his parents had gotten worried. He remembers fighting with his brothers, going hunting in the hills of Bradford often with his friends and building a radio receiver from odds and ends. He used it to listen in on his older brother and his girl friend while they would talk on the telephone. He felt he had a good childhood, "a damn good childhood with lots of fun." There was lots of snow in Bradford during winter months. Snow was enjoyed with ice skating, bob sledding, skiing, tobogganing and all other winter sports. He had a good time in the hills with his bicycle, model planes, soap box derbys, guns, and all the good things of youth.	DUDICK, John Joseph Sr. (I12636)

Joe and Earl Forte owned picture theaters in West Philadelphia, Ambassador, Sherwood, Baltimore and Byrd. They were the two siblings that were very close. Joe died of a heart attack & Earl died the next day. Both had families. Its that Joe was the son to fill out the information on his mother's death certificate as J.A. Forte was listed as the informant. He did not know his mother's father's first name.

Johanne's parents aren't known. The following record is one possible match for his birth date and parentage. A Johannes Eckstein was chr. 1787 in Hesse, Germany. His parents were Johann Valentin Eckstein and Maria Christina Heitzin. Rd in Evangelisch, Ober Bridenbach, Oberrhessen, Hesse Darmstadt on 9 Jan. 1787 according to an I.G.I. record. (F-235)

Johannes settled in Frederick Twp., Philadelphia Co., PA (now Montgomery Co., PA). He received a land warrent in Philadelphia for 150 acres in Sep. 1734. He probably made a trip back to England as he arrived on the CHARMING NANCY i. Prior to 1750, he moved to Berks Co., Pennsylvania. (C-131) He is on record as being an Elder and Deacon at St. Joseph's Church (formerly Oley Hills) in Pike Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. (C-357) This is where many of his grandchildren were baptized. (C-2408) According to one descendant's tradition, he was married 4 times, once to a American Indian. He and his family are supposedly buried in an unmarked grave across the street from the cemetery in Rough & Ready, Pennsylvania. Another possible son of this Johannes would be Sergt. Henry Harp who was born in 1735. He served as a Private and Sergeant in the 3rd Regiment, Ulster Co., NY troops under Colonel Pawling. He was born in Pennsylvania and died in Ulster Co., NY. In 1760 he married Lydia Wood. (C-714)

Johannis or John in English married in Alne. He had at least 3 of his children in Alne. He probably is the John Coates who died in 1669 in Stokesley. Stokesly is 30 miles north of Alne.

John Dudick was born and raised in Bradford, Pennsylvania. He enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Force Reserve as an aviation cadet in 1944. He was called to active duty in March 1945. The war in Europe ended in May of 1945, and aviation cadets were not needed so he did not get a chance to fly. Interestingly, he graduated from St. Bernard High School in June of 1945, 3 months after he was called to active duty according to the Bradford Era Newspaper. He did solo, at his own expense, at Desert Skyway Airport, Boulder City, Nevada in November, 1945. He did not see combat but was a member of the occupational forces in Germany after the war was over. In a June 29, 1945 Bradford Era newspaper, his parents had received notice that he was promoted from Private to Corporal. He did get to sit in on the Nuremberg War Trials in the fall of 1946.

John's first job after the war was with Kendall Refining Co., Bradford, Pennsylvania This is the company that he loyally worked for, for forty-one years until retiring in January of 1990. He worked in all positions with the company, from digging ditches to Process Operator to District Manager and Farm Director. He had performed all types of work while in maintenance with painters, electricians, welders, machinists, riggers and millwrights. He became well known in the Farm Director's Position as he was responsible for the truck and tractor pulling program nationally and was involved there for 21 years. He continued as consultant in this position for the first summer of his retirement. Several excellent articles on John Dudick are in "The Puller" magazine. (See Feb. 1990 issue for retirement photos) (D:DOC)

He met his wife, Doris Forte, in December, 1946. They eloped to wed in February, 1949 while she was in the process of working towards her nursing degree. Doris is a steady and wise mother of four and grandmother of seven. She's an interesting person to talk with. She enjoys children, grandchildren, traveling, reading, knitting, and needlecraft. She remembers fondly her interest of her youth, that of roller skating. She and her friends apparently spent much of their free time at the rink and were quite skilled. She was attending the College of Saint Teresa in Winona, Minnesota working on her Nursing degree in 1947 while dating her husband. She left college to marry in 1949. (F-400)

The Dudick's lived at 63 Clarence St., Bradford, PA in 1958 when their son James was admitted to the hospital. John Dudick had lived on 283 Congress St. in Bradford when he moved out of his parent's home as a young man. As an adult, he and family lived at 5505 Crawford Dr., Columbus, Ohio 43229 from 1962 through 1995. Sources on the above information came from John and Doris Dudick and from the April 1987 issue of "The Puller" magazine, pages 16 to 18.

John and brother Gideon moved to Cherokee Co., Alabama after their father's death. They are often confused with persons of the same name who are likely their relatives buried in Missouri. It is also highly likely that the info on the Sn SC is confused between at least a second set of Sions also in that region. There is a second set of brothers named Sion (1807-1856) and Gideon E. Coats (Jun24 1811-1884) that are buried within 2 miles of each other in Etowah Co., AL (was then Cherokee Co.) whose stepmother Sarah Perry was said to have moved from SC with them. (C-1992)

John and Mary were from Spitalfields, a town near London, England. John married twice. He was a Quaker who actually visited but did not settle in the American colonies. He and his second wife died when Mary was a young woman. He wasd as age 75 at his death. (C-1447) His parents might be Richard Bowater and Elizabeth Sadler instead. (Gedmatch)

John Clerke was of Inkpell and listed in the Co. of Berks when in the Exchaequer records in 1433. (12th year of Henry VI). Though the source I am using applies this statement to this John, I think it personally is more likely to apply toather... but further research is needed. He was the Baron of Exchequer from Oct. 1468 through 1478. John Clerk, Senior, Gent. wrote his will on Mar 21, 1479/80 in the Parish of St. Clement Danes. He requested that he be buried in the church of the Friars Minor. He gave money to his church "for tithes forgotten", the poor of Wroteham to be distributed on the day of his death, to his godsons (unnamed) and his Sister Beatrice. He gave the jewels and utensils to his wife, Alice and the residue of his household to both son, John and wife Alice, his executors. He gave his lands in Middleton, Wade, "The Fawnes" and a marsh in Clyve called "The Swhere" to wife Alice that were to go to son John upon his death. He gave the rest of his lands to son John in Wroteham, Stansted, Trottisclif, Adyngton, Reyersshe and Guldying. It was proved at Knoll Mar 10, 1480/1. (F-533, 598)

John Coate received the tract of land across from "Wells Ferry" that crossed the Delaware River to the Province of Pennsylvania from his father Samuel in his will. He applied for and received a license from Gov. Burnet to operate a ferryell township, Hunterdon Co., NJ on his side of the Delaware on Apr 30, 1726. He is listed as owning a hotel at this crossing too. ("Ferry Tracts in Pennsylvania and New Jersey", p.602) In 1728, he sold 200 acres of this tract of land to John Purcell and another 30 acres on Augst 4, 1732. This same tract when resold in 1732 includes a course described as "a post standing by the Kings Road that leads to the ferry over the aforesaid River Delaware to John Wells." (C-1542) By 1732, he was listed as living in Bethlehem Twp., Hunterdon Co., NJ. (It was Bethlehem Twp. through at least 1741, then Kingwood and is now Franklin Township.) His property was a couple miles from Quakertown, NJ. It is likely that land that Josoph R. Mathews lived on according to "The Jerseyman". He no longer lived on it by 1743. The 1732 deed refers to a post in William Coates and in Henry Coates land (his brothers' land) (C-1499) Both he and Henry were members of Kingwood Friends Quaker Meeting. He voted in the 1738 elections for John Emley and Benj. Smith and was listed as living in Amwell Twp. at that time. He did not vote for a Jno. Coate also running in that election. By 1741, he is listed as a freeholder in Bethlehem Twp. , NJ again. That means that he owned at least 50 acres, cultivated at least 10 of them or if in a burrough, that he owned at least 3 acres and a home. (C-1824) John's death date is probably 1751. John Coate, Sr., Tavern Keeper of Kingwood Twp. left his estate to wife Esther, son Henry and other unnamed children in his will dated May 3, 1751. It was probated on Sept. 3, 1751. It is transcribed here by Charlotte Coats. "John Coate, May 5, 1751, of Kingwood Township, Hunterdon Co., tavern keeper; will of. Wife, Esther. children spoken of, but not by name, except son Henry, who and his mother are made executors. Witnesses-Nathaniel Leforge, James Brooks, John Simcock, sr. Proved Sept 10, 1751; Sept 3, 1751, inventory 368.16.3 pounds, incl. books; a silver spoon; bounds and book debts, 320 pounds; made by John Mullinner and Nathaniel Leforge. Calendar of New Jersey Wills, Vol III, 1751-1760" (C-1p.166, 296, E) Bible records for this family exist in a Bible published in Edinburgh by Alexander Kinciad in the 1770's or 1780s. All the dates in it for this family were written in one hand, years after the dates actually occurred. (C-296) According to one Public Family Tree at ancestrees, John was born in Hempstead, Queens, New York instead. This is not where I've found the family living before at all, but am including it for further study.

John Cornwell of London, England conveyed legacies to John and Margaret Turner in his will dated Mar 27, 1694. John Turner died not long after in his previous residence of All Hollow's Parish, Ann Arundel, Maryland. Margaret as a widowt 1, 1705 conveyed this deed to her daughter Mary whether she be in Maryland or overseas and her grandchildren by son John.

Though we only have 2nd hand sources so far stating that Mary Turner is the wife of John Ponder and daughter of this John Turner, my mother does have matches with other persons that descend from this John. One of the matches is 5.1 cM's which is good for a match this far back in time. The only surnames my mother has in common with these cousins would be the Turners after the 1500's to account for the closest DNA matches.

John did not move with his father to Maryland in 1650. He was transported there by Thomas Sechworth in 1662. He was the only son of Matthew to change his religious beliefs and become a Quaker. He was the only son of Matthew to marry twoth times to widows. His land was called "Howard's Interest". Only one of his sons lived to adulthood, a John Howard. This Howard line can be traced to the prestigious Howard family of England in part due to the fact that John stamped his will in wax with the arms of the Ducal House of Norfolk. His will is still preserved in Annapolis, Maryland today.

John died in the Civil War in Tennessee while serving about a year. He was apparently discharged at Camp Pittsburg (Shiloh or Pittsburg Landing) before dying from disease in Tennessee and is buried in Nashville National Cemetery near hisr James Henry Danner. He was in the 31st Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Co. E or H which formed in Columbus, Ohio (CL-89,444, 445) There is a possibility that his birth date is miscalculated and that he married Margaret Gillen on Oct. 31, 1861. Also in Gallia County marriages, there was a John R. Danner who married Eliza Flowers on Aug. 22, 1864. (CL-190, 369)

John fought against the Bruce at Bannockburn and died in disgrace at Kilfinan in 1353 Eo in mic 3rd laird 1295-1353. John(Sir)the White' LYON In the early 1300s, came a great down turn in the Clan's fortunes. Laumon's grandson, Sir John, supported the MacDougalls of Lorne against Robert the Bruce. The Lamonts of Ardlamont, however, who held their land as vassals of the High Steward in Bute , may have fought in Bruce's bodyguard at Bannockburn. When Bruce was secure on the Scottish throne the Lamont Chief suffered with the House of Lorne and the Clan's land was claimed by the king's loyal supporter, Campbell, Black Knight of Lochawe. When Bruce was secure on the Scottish throne the Lamont Chief suffered with the House of Lorne and the Clan's land was claimed by the king's loyal supporter, Campbell, Black Knight of Lochawe. By the end of the 14th century a great deal of the original territory of the clan had been lost; and thus began a feud between the Lamonts and the Campbells which continued on and off for centuries in spite of considerable intermarriage.

John H. is in the deed records for Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in 1850 and 1856. He originally purchased 226 acres and later added 40 more. His property is listed in the 1871 Atlas of Miami Co., Ohio published by C.O. Titus in Union Twp.d between the Heirs of Aaron Coppock and Benj. Coppock. He was the first dairy farmer in the state and well respected stock dealer of his dairy cattle. By 1897 he was supplying local hotels, restaurants and the Soldiers home with the finest butter anywhere. (C-26, 1025)

In the 1850 census, John Coate is 24 years old, a farmer worth $5000 in real estate. He was living with his wife Jane, age 20 and was married within the year of the census. This census was taken in late 49 or 50 before the month of Octs stepmother, Eunice Cothran Coate, who is 57 years old is living with them. John and Jane were born in Ohio Eunice was born in South Carolina. In the 1860 census records, John's worth is estimated at about $14,000. He was a farmer. In the 1880 Ohio census records for Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio, he was 55, a farmer and sick that day of disease of the bowels. He said he was born in Ohio and both his parents were born in North Carolina. The data for his family was: wife Jane C., age 51, born Ohio as well as her parents, Warren, age 24, b. OH; Ida J., daughter-in-law, age 20 b. OH as well as her parents; Loretta, age 18, b. OH; Maurie J., age 8/12, b. Sept. 1879 in OH; Rachul Coppock, age 71, Mother-in-law, b. Oh, her parents born, North Carolina; (Eluoia) Coppock, age 18, niece, Servant, born Indiana, parents born in Ohio. (C-385) His father's third wife, Eunice, also lived with them in both the 1850 and 1860 census records. John H. was living with his daughter Loretta and son-in-law, Edgar W. Yount in the 1900 census records. (C-224)

He might be the John Coate who was a dealer in groceries, wood, coal, lime, hair plaster and cement in Beers History of Miami Co. OH, though this is more likely to refer to another John, as the census records consistently list him as a farmeC-10) Specifically, we know for certain that he was a dairy farmer in Miami Co., Ohio.

His death date is the 24th on his death certificate and the 26th on his cemetery stone. I do not know which is correct.

John had eight children by his first wife. He married Barbara Evans sometime between the 1910 and 1920 census. John lived with his first wife in Plain City, Jerome Twp, Union Co., Ohio as that was his residence when his father died in 1d in the 1900 census records. In the 1910 census, he and his wife Ellen lived in Marion Twp., Franklin Co., Ohio with their five youngest children. He was listed as a teamster. He and his 2nd wife lived in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio in the 1920 census. He was 10 years older than his second wife, Barbara.

He is remembered by my mother as a small, sweet man who loved my mother and her sister's sticky candy, fudge cooked to a sticky state. (CL-68,138)

John is in the 1830 Gallia Co., Ohio census at between the age of 20 & 30 with a wife of the same age. He was having children in Indiana from the 1830's and the mid 1840's. He might be the John Tharp living somewhat near his parentse 1840 Boone Co., IN census. He had one son at that time under age 5. In the 1840 Boone Co., IN census, he also had a daughter age 10-15, a son age 5-10, a daughter age 5-10, two sons under age 5 and another daughter under age 5 in this census. He and his family are living in Benton Co., IA in the 1860 Fed. Census. Here are their children's birth dates from the 1860 census. "James ? b. l831, Mary Ann b. 13 May 1832 in Gallia Co. OH, Eunice b. Feb 1833 OH, Martin V b.1838 IN, William b. 1839 IN, Harriet b. 1846 IN. In 1870 Federal census John and Harriet are living alone in Linn Co., IA. (CL-425)

John's exact birth date is in question. According to his death record, he died in in 1874 at the age of 78.3 years. This would give him a birth date of abt. 1796. According to the 1830 census though, he would have been born in 1800 at the earliest. Since that is an earlier record, I suspect it could be more accurate, but further census records need checked for his age to determine reliability. If he was born in 1796, it's more likely that he was born in North Carolina as very few settlers were living in Gallia Co., (then Washington Co.), Ohio in 1796.

John is listed as a carpenter in his daughter's marriage record and again in the 1871 census for Shoreditch, London, England. In that census, he is 67 years of age, living with his wife, Isabella, age 64 and his granddaughter, Margaret E. Lowe, age 8 who was born in Hoxton, Middlesex Co., ENG.</line><line /><line>There are several more John Tonkins in the 1871 census records born at similar times with different wives. There is one John Tonkin that was imprisioned for beating up another man of Crowan, UK. That was 38 miles from where our John was born and 277 miles from Finsbury, London, England where he lived when and had children from the John that was in jail. It's not likely to be him.

John is listed in "Notes from Friends Records in England" when he requested a certificate of his clearness from the Alton Monthly Meeting on Nov. 19, 1680. It was granted. He came to the colonies from Bucklebury, Berkshire, England wherecame one of Penn's surveyors. (C-869, 2251g) On Aug. 2, 1684, William Lamboll deeded 100 acres to John Brunsden. John and Alice had three children: John, Hannah, and Alice. (C-172)

John is often listed as the son of Bartholomew and Marjorie as they had a son John christened in 1636. However, this is incorrect since Bartholomew and Marjorie's son, John died on Dec. 27, 1636 as verified in Parish records. Current infon form Parish records suggest that he might be 1) John Jr. Coppock who was christened on Oct. 12, 1634 in Wilmslow as sorted by Allen Dale or 2) the John who is listed as the son of William in William's brother John's will written in Mobberly, England in 1665. I am currently using Allen Dale's sorting for him. (C-1333b, 2247, 2551, E)

In Mobberly, England a Coppock household is the oldest standing home at the current time. (1999) It's residents are Malcolm and Dotty Dennison. An old Coppock farm also in that region is currently lived in by a Mrs. Nixon. Cousins, Jill and daughter, Leslie Coppock own a nearby antique shop, so that descendants of this family live on in the area. (C-2293E)

There are three death dates for persons named John back in England in this time period. 1) One is 1666 in Moberley, Cheshire Co, Eng. records. This one applies to the John, the tanner, who wrote his will in 1665 which was probated in 1666 in Mobberly, Cheshire, ENG. His wife's name was Margaret Dean whom he married in 1634 in Mobberley. He had grown children when he wrote his will. 2) One is a will for a John in 1684, Yeoman, in Greadby, ENG. He also had grown children at the time of the writing of his will in 1660 meaning that would have been born at least two decades before our John. 3) The other possible death date for this John is Dec 31, 1709. (C-1304d, 2247, 2250E)

The children of this John and Susan are mostly conjecture. They all had a father named John. Only Rose and Francis can be verified as belonging to this John and Susan in the Mobberly records. They might also have had a son named Thomas who is in the following death record listings for Mobberly Parish. "Thomas Coppock 'ye son of John Coppock buryed ye 22nd day [Oct 1679] and affidavit brought within ye space of 8 days after bearing date ye 27 - 1679." Aaron Coppock, christened in 1666, a son of John in Mobberly records is often connected with this family too. I for one have placed Aaron as the son of John the Tanner married to Margaret Dean because the fit matches other pieces of evidence better.

John is the eldest son of Sir John de Digby and Arabella Harcourt. He has the title Knight in the original Digby family records. Annie Coppock Kransdorf interprets his "disk" on the Digby Manuscript to be "John de Digbie, Knighte, marrie Wake and had issue in the 20th yeere of Edward 3, 1345(6?)." She states that the 20th year is an error, it would have been the 18th year of Edward III's reign. This does not fit with the likely birthdates of the children. (C-1441, 2267) It should be noted that Burke's "A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain, V. 4" says that this John married to Elizabeth Osville is the son of Robert de Digeby and Sibella, grandson of John de Digeby and great grandson of Sir John de Digeby and Arabella Haracourt instead. Burke's work was based upon the extensive 1634 genealogy done of the Digeby family.

John Jay, sometimes mentioned to have died young, is listed in the will of John Gallop, his grandfather, in 1649. He witnessed a deed in 1661 in Hingham, MA. His name in a photstat copy was spelled Jvey or Juey or Ivey, a variation of Jos brother's descendants carried the name Joy. John is mentioned on Sept. 30, 1672 in the Boston Record of Boston Commissioners, Vol. IX, p. 123. John was discharged from Capt. Wm. Turner's Co. of Marlboro in King Philip's War. This war took place between 1675-1676. This was a Baptist Company of followers of Turner. He possibly died in a later engagement in that war. (C-172,813, F-579)

The following quote is from the "Joy Genealogy", pg. 50, by Helen Bourne Lee in 1968 as forwarded in an email from Christie Trapp. As the 2nd child of Thomas Joy and Joan Gallop: "b. Boston, Mass 10 Aug 1641, bp Oct 1641 First Ch Boston, prob killed in King Philip's War. named in grandfather John Gallop's will 1649, not in father's will 1677. A John Joy m.

John Joseph Dudick, Sr. was either born in Germany, Austria, Hungary or in Johnsonburg, Pennsylvania. His marriage certificate, death certificate and social security records say Pennsylvania, but his son, John remembers him saying he was born in Germany. His birth record has not been able to be located, even though Elk Co., PA kept track of birth records from 1893 to 1905. He also lists his age differently in a couple of different forms. In his marriage record dated Dec. 29, 1919, he lists himself at age 25. His parents lived in Neviczke, Hungary for probably at least 3 generations, but came to America in 1892. If his 1894 birthdate is correct, he was likely born in Pennsylvania.

He supposedly lost his father when he was around 6 years of age from descendants' memories. However, according to this article in the Johnsonburg Press, dated January 3, 1908, he was 13 years old when his father died. "County Commissioner Thomas paid a visit to Father Baker's school in Buffalo last week and was much pleased with what he saw at the institution. He took there the thirteen year old son of Joe Dudack, the man who died suddenly at Johnsonburg some weeks ago, and left him. The lad is bright but has never attended school a day in his life. He was anxious to go to the Buffalo institution and Commissioner Thomas thinks it's the place for him. There are seven hundred boys in the school at the present time and they are not only educated, but also taught trades. It's a charitable institution and set up by Father Baker's unceasing efforts in behalf of homeless boys." He worked on the railroad as a young man and picked up quite a bit of Italian because of it. He was a soldier in World War I. He first enlisted May (1), 1917 as a Rig builder. His character was defined as "excellent". He is on a list of injured soldiers from the Pennsylvanians in the Indiana Evening Gazette on Saturday, Nov. 2, 1918. His rank was a private and he was from Kushequa, PA. He was honorably discharged from the 16th Infantry, Co. C, National Guard on Aug. 5, 1917. (D-131) He then apparently re-enlisted in the 112th Infantry, Company C and served in Le Mans, France from 1918-May 6, 1919. (D-132, 134) He was wounded in battle on July 18, 1918 and received the purple heart for gallant service. His son John has a large wide angle picture of him and the 112th in his home. (D:DOC, E) He had to fill out a World War II draft registration card, in which he verifies his birthdate, May 18, 1894 and place, Johnsonburg, PA, his wife's name, Sue, his address, 283 Congress St., Bradford, PA and his career as a fireman. He was 5 foot 7 inches tall, with brown hair, hazel eyes and light complexion.

In the 1930 census records for Bradford, McKean Co., PA, John was renting his home. It's contents were worth $35.00. He was age 36 and his wife was listed as age 28. They were married when he was 26 and she was 18. He lists his birth place as New York and his wife's as Pennsylvania. His parents were born in Italy (his stepfather and his spouse) and her parents were born in Austria. Children living in the family were Dorothy Irene, Donald, Evelyn, John and Edward. He was a fireman by trade. According to the Bradford Era, on Oct. 24, 1945, Private John J. Dudick of Congress St. was thrown a birthday party by his mother while on furlough. He had been trained in Las Vegas, Nevada and was expecting to be shipped to the Pacific. This is even more interesting as his birthday was in May. The only family member that I could tell was in attendance was brother, Ed Dudick. According to this same paper, his mother and her husband, Tony Cesario, visited them on Nov. 22, 1945. He and his wife attended the funeral of a cousin, Joseph Michalek, in Nanticoke in April of 1949. He was in the paper again when he fell down the stairs of his home at 15 Park St. and was taken to the hospital in an ambulance on Sep. 11, 1951. He is listed as receiving 26 Park St., in Bradford, PA on Aug. 31, 1954 in Smethport Deeds which was willed to them by neighbor, Albert A. Griffin. John and his wife never lived in this home, but continued to rent the home at 15 Park St. which they had lived in for much of their adult lives. (D-22) Before renting 15 Park St., they lived at 283 Congress St. in Bradford, Pennsylvania.

John Joseph Dudick, Jr. remembers both his parents as hard workers. His dad was a jack-of-all trades. He worked much of his life in the fire department as a firefighter and mechanic, doing all the necessary repairs on the fire fighting equipment. He had built a pumping truck from the ground up and was naturally proud of this accomplishment. He had several heart attacks, one of which forced him to retire from the fire department. In the Bradford Era on Apr. 12, 1976, he is listed as having received his 25 year membership for working in Sales at Witco Chemical Corporation. He was always a good provider for his family. For pleasure, he loved to fish. He would take his sons, fishing and hunting. His wife was a very attractive woman. It was always said that her children were well behaved. She liked her children to be well dressed and well mannered. She loved to collect pretty objects. By the end of her life her home was a wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-ceiling collection of old fashioned glassware, photographs and well loved objects. She was a born seamstress and did professional paper hanging. No job was too large to tackle. She did everything well.

John, Jr. remembers this about his family life. He says they always ate well, even during the depression. His father only took a belt to him once when he kept a friend out in the hills so long that his parents had gotten worried. He remembers fighting with his brothers, going hunting in the hills of Bradford often with his friends and building a radio receiver from odds and ends. He used it to listen in on his older brother and his girl friend while they would talk on the telephone. He felt he had a good childhood, "a damn good childhood with lots of fun." There was lots of snow in Bradford during winter months. Snow was enjoyed with ice skating, bob sledding, skiing, tobogganing and all other winter sports. He had a good time in the hills with his bicycle, model planes, soap box derbys, guns, and all the good things of youth.
