501	Ann and Joel Bayley were listed in the closest kin's column when they attended the marriage of her sister, Miriam Short White to Aaron Coppock in 1704. (E)	SHORT, Ann (I12619)
502	Ann appears to have moved from Upper Springfield MM to Salem MM on a certificate dated 4mo 26, 1845. Another record gives the date as April 25, 1845. She then moved with her children, Levi and Maria, to Salem MM, IA, on 2/1/1850. She went to New Garden MM on April 27, 1860. She was disowned by Upper Springfield MM in Iowa on Jan. 24, 1863, a few years after two of her sons participated in John Brown's raid. She had remarried before they joined the movement. (C-95) Ann is described as a woman of intelligence and a strong abolitionist. It is likely that her influence led her eldest sons, Edwin and Barclay, to join John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry. After her sons received word that John Brown wanted them to join him, she is quoted as saying, "I believe you are going with old Brown. When you get the halters around your necks, will you think of me?" Though she believed in the cause, she strongly opposed their joining the fight. (C-744) She lost her children one by one. Three died of disease before age 25, and two of her sons died fighting slavery. Of her children who reached adulthood, only Joseph L. Coppoc left a large family to carry on the name. He enlisted in the Union Army and rose to the rank of major. He was a minister in the Baptist Church for many years. His contribution to the September 1895 issue of The Midland Monthly, entitled "John Brown and His Cause," is a spirited defense and eulogy of Brown. He died in Chambers, Nebraska, in 1914. (C-2246)	LYNCH, Ann (I12224)
503	Ann died of lung fever. (C-1613)	COATES, Ann Eliza (I13455)
504	Ann had a brother named Thomas Staindridge. He is identified as her brother in his will, dated 5d, 11m, 1670, in which he left 10 pounds to Ann's child, "Susanna (A) Witham, daughter of Anne Witham," from Anne's marriage to Robert Witham. These 10 pounds were referred to when Anne remarried on 1d, 3m, 1672, according to her marriage bond. Anne is listed as the widow of Robert Witham in this bond. Anne's estate was inventoried on the 11th day of the 10th month (Feb.), 1709/10, shortly after her husband's death. (C-199) Richard Eugene Wilson produced a two-volume set on the Wilson family. Susan Coate Wassem provided a photocopy of Esquire Thomas Staindridge's will to verify that Anne's maiden name was Staindridge before she married Robert Witham. Anne also received three-elevenths of her brother's estate after all debts were cleared.	Ann * (I14783)
505	Ann had likely either died before 1720 or moved because she was not a witness at her sister Mary's wedding.	COATE, Ann (I721)
506	Ann is listed in her father's will as the wife of Dr. John Stansby. Her marriage to Dr. Stansby was apparently against her father's direct orders, and she was left only 12 pence in his will. The executors of Richard's estate would not pay Dr. Stansby's bill for attending Richard as his physician, so John sued the estate.	WELLS, Ann (I12452)
507	Ann is probably the Ann that attended the marriage of Joseph Longstreth and Susannah Morris in 1774 in the Abbington M.M. along with her father, Jonathan. Ann, under her maiden name, was granted a certificate to Bradford MM from Kennetty Meeting, PA on May 14, 1789. That was a month after her sisters had moved to Gunpowder Monthly Meeting. (C-2153) She might be the Ann Coats who married Zebulon Weathers on 16 Nov. 1786 in Baltimore Co., Maryland.	COATES, Ann (I573)
508	Ann lived in Drumgore in Seagoe Parish, Armagh, Ireland. She is buried at the New Ark Monthly Meeting in Delaware. (C-956, 1448)	CALVERT, Ann (I11119)
509	Ann never married. She is listed as a youth, dau. of Benjamin Coates who went to Abington Monthly Meeting (Chester Co., PA) on Apr 6, 1780 in the Uwchlan MM records, Chester Co., Pennsylvania (C-1616, 2140)	COATES, Anne (I469)
510	Ann was a witness at the wedding of Joseph Brinton and Mary Pierce at Concord in 1711. Ann's husband, Thomas Speakman, had a short career as a Minister of Friends. She received letters of administration for his estate in Oct. 1732. (C-4A Record #:2344	HARRY, Ann (I11316)
511	Ann was the widow of James Wakefield at the time she married James Clark.	UNKNOWN, Ann (I14675)
512	Ann wrote her will in 1818, not quite seven years before her death. In it, she named only her children, Elizabeth Owens and Lewis W. Duvall. The witnesses were Ephraim Etchison and Samuel Welsh, Sr. It is not known how Samuel was related to her, but I suspect he might have been her brother. A Samuel Welsh lived in Montgomery Co., MD, and witnessed the sale of land by John Ward to Henry Griffith on Oct. 16, 1779. (CL-707)	WELSH, Anne * (I6493)
513	Anna and her husband lived in Montgomery Co., Ohio	DANNER, Anna (I7898)
514	Anna Lamming's parents are unknown. While I was in Barbados, I checked the wills for clues to her possible parentage. Although I did not find a will listing her as a daughter, I found a possible grandfather and father in a will probated on Jan. 25, 1781. Dymock Laming of St. James Parish, Barbados, named his son Edward Laming as executor. If this Edward was Anna's father, she was named after Edward's mother, Ann. This would also explain the name of Anna and Christopher's third son, Edward Forte, as Edward was not a common Forte name on the island. (F-201) A family pedigree from Libby Swenson gives Anna's death date as July 4, 1821. (F-318) This is three years earlier than the date given by my other source. It is probably incorrect due to the birth dates of Edward's sisters. (RECHECK) There were Lamings in Barbados at least 100 years before Anna. A Mr. Edward Laming served under Capt. John Merrick's troop of Horse in 1679. Anna must have had a very difficult life. It is likely that the same disease took her two daughters and herself, as all three died in September 1824. Their deaths devastated her husband, who also died not many years later of a broken heart, according to his son Edward Forte.	LAMMING, Anna (I14405)
515	Anna lived in house 36 next door to house 35 that had Toder Dudik's family living there. Her likely sister Maria married a nephew of Toder.	BOGDAN, Anna (I2009)
516	Anna was drawn to America's promise at age 17 in 1903. According to Ellis Island records, she arrived on Mar. 12, 1903. She was Slovak, from Turduka, Hungary. It was supposedly a parish in Austria-Hungary near the Russian border, with a name that sounded like Ungar or Uzarag. Her passage was paid for by her stepbrother, whose name is unknown. She was going to stay with her brother, ( ) Mahla?, in Vasfield, Massachusetts. She found her first years difficult but met and married her husband, George Vosick, by 1910. It might be important to note that she began dating George in this country because she knew the Vosick family from near her home in Europe. She met him while working in the same cigar factory, and because she knew his family in the old country, they started dating. Interestingly, the passenger listed directly before her was Joseph Hershkowitz, age 22, who was Jewish and from Jassy, Romania. He was going to stay with his brother-in-law, David Rosner, in New York. The Hershovics also married into the Dudick family. Anna lived to be at least 103 years old and was a member of St. Eulalia Roman Catholic Church. She was living in Coudersport, PA, on her 103rd birthday. (D-164, 165) Her Social Security number was 160-50-1204. Anna possibly returned to the old country. An Anna Velcsik, age 25, married, of Hungarian-Slovak ethnicity and residing in Gezseny, Hungary, arrived at Ellis Island on Oct. 1, 1912, aboard the Kronprinzessin Cecilie, which had departed from Bremen, Germany. However, a Times Herald article about her 103rd birthday states that she never had a chance to return to the old country and had only been able to send her sister Mary a ticket to come to the U.S.	JURIK, Anna (I11447)
517	Anna was the niece of Thomas Cranmer through her mother. Thomas was the Archbishop of Canterbury who was burned at the stake in Oxford on Mar. 21, 1555/6. (F-533)	CARTWRIGHT, Anna (I9303)
518	Anne and Caroline were twins. (F-604)	FORTE, Anne (I905)
519	Anne died unmarried. (F-604)	FORTE, Annie (I150)
520	Anne is listed as the daughter of William and Elizabeth Jay in Medlin's Quakers of SC and Georgia. (C-265) She is listed ninth in her father's will. Anna was left to raise seven children when her husband John died. She brought them to Ohio before 1809. In 1826, Anna Jay Coppock bound her son Layton, apparently as an indentured servant or apprentice, to Henry Coate of Miami Co., Ohio. Deed Bk. 5, p. 614. (C-955, E) Her birth and death dates are each listed with a seven-year difference, suggesting to me that her birth date was calculated from her death date. One set of dates gives her birth as Apr. 25, 1765, in Newberry Co., SC, and her death as Apr. 9, 1821, in Miami Co., Ohio. Another set gives her birth as May 5, 1772, and her death as Apr. 9, 1828, in Miami Co., Ohio. I do not know which is correct at this point, though the 1772 birth date more closely places her in the ninth-child position in her father's will. (C-2109)	JAY, Anna (I10810)
521	Anne was also called Anne of Russia and Anna of Kiev. (C-456, 1351)	YAROSLAVNA, Anna * Princess Of Kiev (I12032)
522	Annie was attending school at age 11 as she is listed as a "scholar" in the 1881 British Census records. In the 1891 census, she is still living at home, age 21, and a dressmaker by trade. Like her brother Thomas, her birth place is ls Rugby, Warwick, England.	STEVENS, Annie (I1600)
523	Another death date for him is estimated between 3874 and 2962 B.C. He listed as living to the age of 912 years according to the bible. (G 4:25) (C-1795)	BEN ADAM, Seth * (Age 912 years) (3rd son) (I13037)
524	Anradan, son of Aodh Athlamh, the last king of his line, was also known as Hugh the Dextrous and Henry, Lord of Badenoch. He had a brother from whom the MacNeills descended. Anradan was killed in battle. Between 1030 and 1047, he migrated and settled on Barra in the Hebrides. He was the eponymous ancestor of the Anradan kindred.	MACNEILL, Aedh 1st Of Barra 21St Of Mac (I15428)
525	Antenor was able to achieve a peace treaty with the Gauls. (C-1346)	ANTENOR III - * King Of Sicambri (I15307)
526	Antenor was of Trojan royal descent known as King of the Cimmerians of Scythia on the Black Sea. (C-1346)	KING OF CIMMERIANS, Antenor II * (I14951)
527	Antharius withstood invasions by Julius Caesar. (C-1346)	ANTHARIUS * King Of Sicambri (I15185)
528	Anthony was a merchant of the staple of Calais. He bought Chicheley Manor in 1545 from lands that Henry VIII had claimed after dissolving the monasteries. Before his purchase, the property had belonged to Tickford Abbey. He had actually leased the land from the abbey since 1528, "under the pen of Cardinal Wolsey." He was buried in the church next to his "magnificent" home and has a brass shroud and a plaque on the church wall commemorating him. He is well known, and much information about him is available from the Cave Family History Society in Lincolnshire, England. (F-613)	CAVE, Anthony (I12391)
529	Arabella Hinds died on Aug. 3, 1839, aged 17 months in St. Michael's Parish. She was the daughter of Saml. S. Forte. (F-24)	FORTE, Arabella Hinds (I1065)
530	Archbishop of York.	NEVILLE, Archbishop George (I195)
531	Archibald was married at least 2 times that we know of and probably 3. There is some evidence that he married both Ann and Sarah Benton. By 1850, he is living in Guernsey Co., Ohio with a wife named Rebecca, and daughters, Margaret, aged Susannah, age 15. Living in the same household is Martin V. B. Benton, age 13; Thom. H. Benton, age 11; and Taylor D. Benton, age 7 not to mention others.	SHIPLEY, Archibald (I5039)
532	Area - DUBLIN (COI) , Parish/Church/Congregation - ST. LUKE Baptism of MOSES COATES of N/R on 28 May 1748	COATES, Moses (I17396)

534	Armilla and her husband were having children in Iredell Co., NC from 1786-1805. (CL-489)	THARP, Armeila (I12108)
535	Arnulph's name has been found listed as Arnold I, the Great and the Old of Flanders. His wife's name can be spelled Alisa/Athele, and Alix of Vermadois also. Arnulph reigned from 918 to 950. In 950 he abdicated the throne to his son BaldI. When Baldwin preceded him in death, he again took the throne until 965 when he abdicated to his "kinsman" Arnulph II. (C-1383, 1387)	COUNT OF FLANDERS, Arnulph I (I15107)
536	Arthur is the son of a Harriet Dimmick in the 1900 census records for Marshall Co., WV. He is listed as a surviving brother of Ephraim Dimmack in Ephraim's 1944 obituary. His residence at the time was listed as Washington, Pennsylvania.	DIMMACK, Arthur N. (I8618)
537	As a child he was called by his middle name.	MACUMBER, Morgan Ralph (I1256)
538	As a child, he was called by his middle name.	MACUMBER, David Donovan (I1299)
539	As a lieutenant colonel, Samuel Forte represented St. John's Parish in the House of Assembly in 1712, 1715–1719, 1721, and 1723–1727. He was elected in place of John Rouse on Aug. 19, 1712. (F-193, F-748) He had also served as a Justice of the Peace and as lieutenant colonel of the St. John's Regiment of the Militia. He was married twice. He and his wife Ann Forte are listed with their children in the 1715 census records of St. John's Parish, Barbados. (F-159) They had two more children, Enoch and Tomazine, after this census. The following Barbados deeds provide details about Samuel Forte Jr., his eldest daughter Elizabeth, his father Samuel Forte Sr., and his mother-in-law Elizabeth Forte. V. 30, p. 138: Samuel Forte Sr. of St. John's deeded to his granddaughter Elizabeth Forte, daughter of Samuel Forte Jr. of St. John's Parish, with love and affection, one enslaved woman, Catriante, and one enslaved boy, Johnny. V. 30, pp. 139–140: On Dec. 28, 1714, Elizabeth Forte Sr. gave Elizabeth Forte Jr. one enslaved girl, Martillah, and 15 pounds sterling. V. 30, p. 139: A deed made July 15, 1717, between Col. Samuel Forte of St. John's and Mrs. Elizabeth Forte of the same parish gave Elizabeth 20 pounds sterling and one enslaved girl named Bella. V. 30, p. 138: On July 6, 1720, Samuel Forte, son of the aforementioned Samuel Forte and father of Elizabeth Forte, gave his daughter Elizabeth one enslaved woman, Catherine, Johnny, and one enslaved girl, Jonny. V. 30, p. 140: On Aug. 13, 1720, Ralph Weekes, guardian of Enoch Gritton (under age 21), was paid 1,500 pounds in the parish of St. Philip because of the marriage of Enoch Gritton and Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Samuel Forte. V. 30, p. 179: On Sept. 9, 1720, Samuel Forte of St. John's deeded to Ralph Weekes of St. Philip 10 acres in St. George, bordering land of Col. William Lesly, Benjamin Battign, and Richard Sutton DeSouth Carolina, for 200 pounds in goods paid by Ralph Weekes. V. 30, p. 149: On Sept. 14, 1720, Samuel Forte of St. John's deeded to William Lesly of St. John's 10 acres in St. George, bounded by land of Benjamin Batlyn, Mrs. Elis. Burks, and Forte himself. (F-254) His sons appear in, or are conspicuously absent from, the following records: Samuel: He left a will probated in 1745. He did not mention a wife or children. He did mention his brother Christopher's children, Samuel, William, Christopher, and Elizabeth; his brother Richard; his brother Rich; his brother-in-law Samuel Leslie; and his nephew James Eastmand. (This means that two of his sisters were married to a Samuel Leslie and an Eastmand.) (F-194c) Richard: No will has been located for him. No evidence of children or a wife has been found in the Barbados church records. Christopher: No will has been located for him. His children are mentioned in his brother Samuel Forte's will as Samuel, William, Christopher, and Elizabeth. His children and wife are not mentioned in the Barbados church records. Thomas: No information has been located about this son or his possible offspring. Enoch: He was a doctor in St. Philip's Parish, Barbados. He did not name any sons in his will. His children were Jane, Elizabeth, Mary Austin, and Rebecca, all under age 21 when he died in 1771/2.	FORTE, Samuel Jr. (I14844)
540	As a lieutenant in 1638, he and his wife Margaret sold 400 acres in Isle of Wight Co., VA, to William Underwood of the same place. (C-2403) The will of Capt. John Upton, Gentleman, is recorded in Isle of Wight Co., VA. In it, he names his eldest son, John; William, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Margaret Underwood; his wife Margaret as executrix; and his friend William Underwood as one of the overseers. The will was dated Jan. 16, 1651, and proved Dec. 16, 1652. (C-2403) It is transcribed below from The William and Mary College Quarterly, Vol. 7, No. 4, pp. 205–249: Will of Capt. John Vpton, dated 16 Jan., 1651 — proved Dec. 16, 1652: "I, Capt. John Vpton, of the Isle of Wight county, in Virginia." To eldest son John Vpton, all that tract of land being part of it in the tenure of John King, James Bagnall, Nicholas Morris, etc., containing in the whole eight hundred and fifty acres, and if the said John Vpton dies before he comes to the age of one and twenty, then I give and bequeath the said land until William, Elizabeth, Sarah and Margaret Vnderood, to be divided as followeth, and, To said son a mare fole and one cow with calf, being upon the probate of my will sett apart for him with their increase to be equally shared amongst my daughters-in-law Elizabeth, Sarah and Margaret Vnderwood. "To William Vnderwood, Elizabeth, Sarah and Margaret Vnderwood 1500 acres near Ambrose Bennett's and allways reserved out of this land Three Hundred acres with Mr. Robert Bracewell hath. To William, Elizabeth, Sarah and Margaret Vnderwood all my land at Rappahannock, and All the rest of my Estate, Goods, Chattels, servants, and, to whatsoever here in Virginia after my Debts, Legacies and funerall rights paid and discharged I give and to my Loving and Welbeloved Wife Margaret Vpton, whom I constitute and sole executrix of this my last Will and Testament."

(1) To Elizabeth Vnderwood one pillion and one pillion cloth at day of marriage. Proved by the oaths of William Vnderwood and Edward Skinner. Witnesses, John Gallins X mark, James Taylor. (http://files.usgwarchives.net/va/isleofwight/court/history.txt)	UPTON, John (I7536)
541	As far as DNA evidence connecting this James, who married Susannah (Nancy) Long, to my mother goes, I've had about five cousins to compare with her. Two of them matched her at 8.5 and 7.5 cM, respectively. Descendants of James Patrick and his father have two other matches with my mother at 7 or 8 cM: A092025 M.C. — A855564 — gulfbarnetts@gmail.com Chromosome 7: 138,188,768–144,571,031 — 8.5 cM — 753 A092025 M.C. — A790890 — martha.m.taylor@gmail.com Chromosome 20: 5,595,738–8,329,467 — 7.5 cM — 656 He is likely the James who had 619 acres on Reed Creek surveyed in 1749. This is the same creek on which his brothers, William and Patrick, bought land. (vol25no10pp147_155_462179.pdf) This could be the land that James bought on Hays Creek off the James River. He is listed as the brother(-in-law) of John Nobel in John's will, dated 1752, along with brothers Patrick and William Calhoun, who were named his executors in Augusta or Wythe Co., VA. He and his relatives, Patrick and Hugh (son of Uncle Hugh), along with his brother-in-law Joseph Long, witnessed the deed of sale of Robert and Mary (Baker) Ewing in Augusta Co., VA, in 1755. Robert and Mary Ewing were then of Lunenburg Co., VA, and were selling land they had received in 1749 on the Roanoke River. This is important to note because it means that at least the Ewings were able to move from Augusta to Lunenburg by 1755. There had to be river routes (via the Roanoke River?) or trails to get them there by 1755, where my James Calhoun, b. bef. 1733, was living in 1748 at at least age 16. In that time period, it was extremely unlikely that people moved without other family members or friends also moving. James (son of James Patrick Calhoun), along with his brother John Calhoon and William Crow, put up a bond for James Buchanan, a merchant of Henrico who was involved in a court case in Oct. 1765 in Augusta Co., Virginia. James and John are the only children of James Patrick who could account for this record. If that proves to be accurate, his wife, Nancy Susannah Long, did not likely die in the 1760 massacre at Long Cane, SC, unless James returned to Augusta Co., Virginia, after the massacre. It was his mother instead. According to Chalkley, the case was titled "Buchanan vs. Crow." It is also logical to assume that he was not the James who died in Captain Braddock's War in 1755.	CALHOUN, James (I9526)
542	As I have found no marriage record for her, she might be the Hannah Underwood who died at near age 70 on Jan 24, 1831 and is buried at the Warrington Burial Ground in Warrington Twp., York Co., Pennsylvania. She is not listed as anyone's wife in this record as married women were, and she is the right age and in the right place to be a match to this Hannah Underwood.	UNDERWOOD, Hannah (I847)
543	As of 2005, Dan was an architect residing in Atlanta, Georgia.	FOLEY, Daniel Matthew (I455)
544	Asa Amos is a Jewish first and last name. It's my theory that his wife, Nancy, had a Caucasian father, John Hunter, and a mother who was possibly enslaved on a nearby homestead, as may have been the case with her probable sister, Susanah Hunter. It might have made sense in those times for a Jewish man with limited marriage prospects within his own community to wed a woman of mixed ancestry. This could be why they moved north shortly after marrying. My Susanah married William Clark in Virginia as they moved north. DNA evidence suggests that William may also be the source of some of my traces of African ancestry. In any case, Asa/Asy and Nancy had a very large family and lived long lives for their time. They remained closely linked to my Susanah Hunter throughout their adult lives.	AMOS, Asa (I10019)
545	Asa was a wanderer. The closest match to him is an Asa Coates who was living in Niagara, New York in the 1860 census in which he is married to a Miranda. He and his wife had multiple children and New York is listed as the birthplace for af them. (C-1625, EL)	COATES, Asa (I597)
546	Asenanth and her family moved to Jackson Co., Missouri. (C-748)	UNDERWOOD, Asenath (I13406)
547	Ashahel and Esther had 3 children: Mary, Michael and Emma Coats. (C-2383)	WILKINS, Esther S. (I7110)
548	Asher was a manufacturer. He and his wife had 8 children, most of whom were thought to be born in Montgomery Co., Ohio He lived in Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in the 1880 census. He is indexed in an 1893 Probate Court Record as takingnship in Miami Co., Ohio. (C-756, 1025)	MAST, Asher C. (I11355)
549	At Ancestry, my mother's descent from Mary Tharp is supported by a DNA Circle that connects five participants to this same Mary Tharp and to various members of the group. This is evidence that we descend genetically through this James Glenn. Mary is listed as Mary in the 1850 and 1860 censuses and as Polly on her gravestone. As Polly was a nickname for several women's names, including Mary, I am assuming that her original name was Mary. It was common in the Tharp line to name daughters Mary and call them Polly. (CL-308) About the same time as our Mary, the following Tharps were in Gallia Co., Ohio: In the 1820 census, Abel (Raccoon Twp.), who married Polly Bruno on Sept. 7, 1820; Zaus; Jane Tharp, who married William Blagg on Sept. 14, 1817; Jesse, who married Nancy Stephens on Dec. 30, 1819; and John Tharp (Perry Twp.), who married Harriet Souls on Feb. 3, 1828. Zaus was born in 1804 in Gallia Co., Ohio. He married Mrs. Rachel Calfrey. They moved to Boone Co., Indiana, and then to Grundy Co., MO. He died there on Sept. 8, 1885. (CL-399) By 1830, the Gallia Co., Ohio, census lists only a John Tharp in Spring... Twp. Joseph and his son Abel moved to Tippecanoe Co., IN, in 1830. William Tharp was in Tippecanoe Co., IN, by 1840. Zaus was also in Boone Co., IN, by then. Based on their migration pattern through Gallia County, I believe they are likely to be the father and brothers of our Mary Polly Tharp. Zaus (also known as Isaias, after Joseph's brother?; Esaes; or Isaac, after Joseph's brother?) named one of his daughters Mary Polly Tharp. (CL-425, 448)	THARP, Mary (Polly) * (I10632)
550	At Ancestry, my mother's descent to James Glenn is supported by a DNA Circle that relates 5 participants all back to this same James Glenn and inter-relates them to various members in the group. In it 3 of the members descend from this Jaenn and all are related to each other through DNA. This is called triangulation and proves that we descend from James Glenn genetically: M.C., JClark2d, and w_woods57. A second triagulation in this group again is proof and that is between M.C., JClark2d and terkamazis. James Glenn "was a farmer and cabinet maker. His home, west of (Glenn) Cemetery (near Vinton), was a 'weigh station' for the 'underground railroad.' James was amongst a small group of families that emigrated from Virginia and helped found Huntington Twp. in Gallia Co., Ohio. A religious man, he was instrumental in starting the first Presbyterian Church of Huntington and Raccoon in 1829, serving as Ruling Elder and Clerk." (CL-149) He was known as Uncle Jimmy to his nieces and nephews. (CL-453) James paid taxes on his chattel in the 1827 tax lists for Huntington Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio (CL-499, 587) He was involved in several land transactions after that date. On Feb 3, 1831, Andrew Y. Glenn and his wife, Margaret, sold 30 acres of land on the west side of the northwest quarter of Section 25, Twp.7, Range 16 from lands he bought at Chillicothe, Ohio to James Glenn (his brother) for 200 hundred dollars. (CL-DOC, V. 12, p. 147) On Nov. 23, 1833, John B. Poindexter sold land in Range 16, Twp. 7 & part of Section 25 &26 bordering on Raccoon Creek for $275.00 to James. Both of these properties are listed as in his possession in the 1874 Gallia Co., Ohio Atlas. (V. 12, p. 146) (CL-523, 590) On Sep 6, 1834, James Glenn & Polly, his wife, sold Andrew Y. Glenn a section of the northeast corner of the north west quarter of Section 25 in Twp. 7,, Range 16 for 96 dollars. It abutted Raccoon Creek. (CL-524, V. 12, p. 653) The last record found was on Mar 2, 1864 between James Glenn and his son, Milton K. Glenn. Milton bought ten acres of land from his father for $200.00 in Huntington Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio that was part of the northeast quarter of Section 20. (CL-537, Vol. 33, p. 585) The 1880 Ohio census record, pg. 425D, Huntington Twp., Gallia Co., Oh, says that he was born in Virginia in 1792 as were his parents. His wife was born in Pennsylvania as were her parents. She was 67 and he was 88 in this 1880 census. (CL-229) According to readings of his cemetery stone, he died on Jan 11, 1886, age 93 yrs, 9 months and 19 days. This would make his birth date to be Mar 23, 1792 - and needs rechecking as it doesn't match previous information on his day of birth. James was married to all three of the above women. Two of them are verified by their gravestones in Glenn Cemetery. His last two wives names can be verified in the administration of James Glenn's will. His first wife's nickname, Polly, is on her gravestone. She is listed as Mary in the 1850 and 1860 census. His marriage to his first wife, Mary (Polly) Tharp was the first marriage that occurred after Huntington Twp. was formed from Raccoon Twp. in 1810. She was the mother of all his children. (CL-411) A transcription of his second marriage follows: "James Glenn and Mary M. Hartsook: The State of Ohio Gallia County (...) I do hereby certify that on the 22nd day of December AD 1863 by (venture) of License issued by the Judge of the Probate Court of said county. I joined in marriage James Glenn and Mary M Hartsook Given under my hand the 29th day of December in the year 1863. H.R. How M.V.D." (CL-181) The following will of James Glenn is from the Gallia Co. Courthouse. It is being transcribed with original spelling and punctuation retained by Linda Coate Dudick. "In the name of the Benevolent Father of All I James Glenn of the County of Gallia and the State of Ohio being of sound mind and memory and in lieu of the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death do make and publish this my last will and testament in the manner and following that is to say First It is my will that out of my personal Estate all my Just debts, funeral expenses, cost of administration and the (bequest) hereafter mentioned shall be fully paid Second It is further my will that in addition to what I have heretofore given to my daughter Electa J Radekin I hereby give and bequeath to her ten dollars to be paid to her out of my personal Estate it being in full all that I ever intended to give her Three It is further my will that in addition to what I have heretofore giving to my daughter Terza She(ron) I hereby give and bequeath to her the sum of forty dollars to be paid out of my personal Estate it in full of all that I ever intended to give Fourth It is further my will that ( ) heretofor giving my daughter Eliza J.

(CL-153) The administration of James Glenn's will gives us clues as to the married names of his unknown daughters as the following grandchildren are listed as living relatives: Grandsons, Curtis Davis, William G. (Davis) and Granddaughters, Rathsheba Dye(r), Mary Vie(r)s, and (Terza) Quickle. (CL-154,155,453) Unknown or additional Glenn children might prove to be any of the following Glenn's located in records about Gallia County. Elizabeth Mahala Jane Glenn, died July 5, 1831, aged 7 years, 8 months, 19 days (buried near likely grandparents, William and Ann Curry Glenn). (From her age, she is either James or brother George's daughter.) Born in 1823, she has the exact same tree symbol carved on her stone as her possible brother, James Carlille Glenn, son of James Glenn. Polly Ann Glenn, died Feb 2, 1837, aged 15 years 4 months and 12 days. She is buried near her grandparents, William and Ann Glenn in the center of Glenn Cemetery, as all their grandchildren that died as children seem to be. There is a tree symbol on her cemetery stone, like several other suspected children of this James and Polly Glenn. Franklin J. Glenn & Samantha had a d. Ella in 1869. George W. Glenn married to Jane J. Tyler who had a son Edmore F. in 1870. (I personally believe these last two are a generation after his children and are either grandsons or gr. nephews).

Ann and Joel Bayley were listed in the closest kin's column when they attended the marriage of her sister, Miriam Short White to Aaron Coppock in 1704. (E)

SHORT, Ann (I12619)

502

Ann appears to have moved from Upper Springfield MM to Salem MM on a certificate dated 4mo 26, 1845. Another record gives the date as April 25, 1845. She then moved with her children, Levi and Maria, to Salem MM, IA, on 2/1/1850. She went to New Garden MM on April 27, 1860. She was disowned by Upper Springfield MM in Iowa on Jan. 24, 1863, a few years after two of her sons participated in John Brown's raid. She had remarried before they joined the movement. (C-95)

Ann is described as a woman of intelligence and a strong abolitionist. It is likely that her influence led her eldest sons, Edwin and Barclay, to join John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry. After her sons received word that John Brown wanted them to join him, she is quoted as saying, "I believe you are going with old Brown. When you get the halters around your necks, will you think of me?" Though she believed in the cause, she strongly opposed their joining the fight. (C-744)

She lost her children one by one. Three died of disease before age 25, and two of her sons died fighting slavery. Of her children who reached adulthood, only Joseph L. Coppoc left a large family to carry on the name. He enlisted in the Union Army and rose to the rank of major. He was a minister in the Baptist Church for many years. His contribution to the September 1895 issue of The Midland Monthly, entitled "John Brown and His Cause," is a spirited defense and eulogy of Brown. He died in Chambers, Nebraska, in 1914. (C-2246)

504

Ann had a brother named Thomas Staindridge. He is identified as her brother in his will, dated 5d, 11m, 1670, in which he left 10 pounds to Ann's child, "Susanna (A) Witham, daughter of Anne Witham," from Anne's marriage to Robert Witham. These 10 pounds were referred to when Anne remarried on 1d, 3m, 1672, according to her marriage bond. Anne is listed as the widow of Robert Witham in this bond. Anne's estate was inventoried on the 11th day of the 10th month (Feb.), 1709/10, shortly after her husband's death. (C-199) Richard Eugene Wilson produced a two-volume set on the Wilson family.

Susan Coate Wassem provided a photocopy of Esquire Thomas Staindridge's will to verify that Anne's maiden name was Staindridge before she married Robert Witham. Anne also received three-elevenths of her brother's estate after all debts were cleared.

Ann * (I14783)

505

Ann had likely either died before 1720 or moved because she was not a witness at her sister Mary's wedding.

COATE, Ann (I721)

506

Ann is listed in her father's will as the wife of Dr. John Stansby. Her marriage to Dr. Stansby was apparently against her father's direct orders, and she was left only 12 pence in his will. The executors of Richard's estate would not pay Dr. Stansby's bill for attending Richard as his physician, so John sued the estate.

WELLS, Ann (I12452)

507

Ann is probably the Ann that attended the marriage of Joseph Longstreth and Susannah Morris in 1774 in the Abbington M.M. along with her father, Jonathan. Ann, under her maiden name, was granted a certificate to Bradford MM from Kennetty Meeting, PA on May 14, 1789. That was a month after her sisters had moved to Gunpowder Monthly Meeting. (C-2153) She might be the Ann Coats who married Zebulon Weathers on 16 Nov. 1786 in Baltimore Co., Maryland.

Ann never married. She is listed as a youth, dau. of Benjamin Coates who went to Abington Monthly Meeting (Chester Co., PA) on Apr 6, 1780 in the Uwchlan MM records, Chester Co., Pennsylvania (C-1616, 2140)

COATES, Anne (I469)

Ann was a witness at the wedding of Joseph Brinton and Mary Pierce at Concord in 1711. Ann's husband, Thomas Speakman, had a short career as a Minister of Friends. She received letters of administration for his estate in Oct. 1732. (C-4A Record #:2344

Ann wrote her will in 1818, not quite seven years before her death. In it, she named only her children, Elizabeth Owens and Lewis W. Duvall. The witnesses were Ephraim Etchison and Samuel Welsh, Sr. It is not known how Samuel was related to her, but I suspect he might have been her brother. A Samuel Welsh lived in Montgomery Co., MD, and witnessed the sale of land by John Ward to Henry Griffith on Oct. 16, 1779. (CL-707)

Anna Lamming's parents are unknown. While I was in Barbados, I checked the wills for clues to her possible parentage. Although I did not find a will listing her as a daughter, I found a possible grandfather and father in a will probated on Jan. 25, 1781. Dymock Laming of St. James Parish, Barbados, named his son Edward Laming as executor. If this Edward was Anna's father, she was named after Edward's mother, Ann. This would also explain the name of Anna and Christopher's third son, Edward Forte, as Edward was not a common Forte name on the island. (F-201)

A family pedigree from Libby Swenson gives Anna's death date as July 4, 1821. (F-318) This is three years earlier than the date given by my other source. It is probably incorrect due to the birth dates of Edward's sisters. (RECHECK)

There were Lamings in Barbados at least 100 years before Anna. A Mr. Edward Laming served under Capt. John Merrick's troop of Horse in 1679.

Anna must have had a very difficult life. It is likely that the same disease took her two daughters and herself, as all three died in September 1824. Their deaths devastated her husband, who also died not many years later of a broken heart, according to his son Edward Forte.

LAMMING, Anna (I14405)

515

Anna lived in house 36 next door to house 35 that had Toder Dudik's family living there. Her likely sister Maria married a nephew of Toder.

BOGDAN, Anna (I2009)

516

Anna was drawn to America's promise at age 17 in 1903. According to Ellis Island records, she arrived on Mar. 12, 1903. She was Slovak, from Turduka, Hungary. It was supposedly a parish in Austria-Hungary near the Russian border, with a name that sounded like Ungar or Uzarag. Her passage was paid for by her stepbrother, whose name is unknown. She was going to stay with her brother, ( ) Mahla?, in Vasfield, Massachusetts.

She found her first years difficult but met and married her husband, George Vosick, by 1910. It might be important to note that she began dating George in this country because she knew the Vosick family from near her home in Europe. She met him while working in the same cigar factory, and because she knew his family in the old country, they started dating.

Interestingly, the passenger listed directly before her was Joseph Hershkowitz, age 22, who was Jewish and from Jassy, Romania. He was going to stay with his brother-in-law, David Rosner, in New York. The Hershovics also married into the Dudick family.

Anna lived to be at least 103 years old and was a member of St. Eulalia Roman Catholic Church. She was living in Coudersport, PA, on her 103rd birthday. (D-164, 165) Her Social Security number was 160-50-1204.

Anna possibly returned to the old country. An Anna Velcsik, age 25, married, of Hungarian-Slovak ethnicity and residing in Gezseny, Hungary, arrived at Ellis Island on Oct. 1, 1912, aboard the Kronprinzessin Cecilie, which had departed from Bremen, Germany. However, a Times Herald article about her 103rd birthday states that she never had a chance to return to the old country and had only been able to send her sister Mary a ticket to come to the U.S.

Anne is listed as the daughter of William and Elizabeth Jay in Medlin's Quakers of SC and Georgia. (C-265) She is listed ninth in her father's will. Anna was left to raise seven children when her husband John died. She brought them to Ohio before 1809. In 1826, Anna Jay Coppock bound her son Layton, apparently as an indentured servant or apprentice, to Henry Coate of Miami Co., Ohio. Deed Bk. 5, p. 614. (C-955, E)

Her birth and death dates are each listed with a seven-year difference, suggesting to me that her birth date was calculated from her death date. One set of dates gives her birth as Apr. 25, 1765, in Newberry Co., SC, and her death as Apr. 9, 1821, in Miami Co., Ohio. Another set gives her birth as May 5, 1772, and her death as Apr. 9, 1828, in Miami Co., Ohio. I do not know which is correct at this point, though the 1772 birth date more closely places her in the ninth-child position in her father's will. (C-2109)

Anthony was a merchant of the staple of Calais. He bought Chicheley Manor in 1545 from lands that Henry VIII had claimed after dissolving the monasteries. Before his purchase, the property had belonged to Tickford Abbey. He had actually leased the land from the abbey since 1528, "under the pen of Cardinal Wolsey." He was buried in the church next to his "magnificent" home and has a brass shroud and a plaque on the church wall commemorating him. He is well known, and much information about him is available from the Cave Family History Society in Lincolnshire, England. (F-613)

As a lieutenant colonel, Samuel Forte represented St. John's Parish in the House of Assembly in 1712, 1715–1719, 1721, and 1723–1727. He was elected in place of John Rouse on Aug. 19, 1712. (F-193, F-748) He had also served as a Justice of the Peace and as lieutenant colonel of the St. John's Regiment of the Militia.

He was married twice. He and his wife Ann Forte are listed with their children in the 1715 census records of St. John's Parish, Barbados. (F-159) They had two more children, Enoch and Tomazine, after this census.

The following Barbados deeds provide details about Samuel Forte Jr., his eldest daughter Elizabeth, his father Samuel Forte Sr., and his mother-in-law Elizabeth Forte.

V. 30, p. 138: Samuel Forte Sr. of St. John's deeded to his granddaughter Elizabeth Forte, daughter of Samuel Forte Jr. of St. John's Parish, with love and affection, one enslaved woman, Catriante, and one enslaved boy, Johnny.

V. 30, pp. 139–140: On Dec. 28, 1714, Elizabeth Forte Sr. gave Elizabeth Forte Jr. one enslaved girl, Martillah, and 15 pounds sterling.

V. 30, p. 139: A deed made July 15, 1717, between Col. Samuel Forte of St. John's and Mrs. Elizabeth Forte of the same parish gave Elizabeth 20 pounds sterling and one enslaved girl named Bella.

V. 30, p. 138: On July 6, 1720, Samuel Forte, son of the aforementioned Samuel Forte and father of Elizabeth Forte, gave his daughter Elizabeth one enslaved woman, Catherine, Johnny, and one enslaved girl, Jonny.

V. 30, p. 140: On Aug. 13, 1720, Ralph Weekes, guardian of Enoch Gritton (under age 21), was paid 1,500 pounds in the parish of St. Philip because of the marriage of Enoch Gritton and Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Samuel Forte.

V. 30, p. 179: On Sept. 9, 1720, Samuel Forte of St. John's deeded to Ralph Weekes of St. Philip 10 acres in St. George, bordering land of Col. William Lesly, Benjamin Battign, and Richard Sutton DeSouth Carolina, for 200 pounds in goods paid by Ralph Weekes.

V. 30, p. 149: On Sept. 14, 1720, Samuel Forte of St. John's deeded to William Lesly of St. John's 10 acres in St. George, bounded by land of Benjamin Batlyn, Mrs. Elis. Burks, and Forte himself. (F-254)

His sons appear in, or are conspicuously absent from, the following records:

Samuel: He left a will probated in 1745. He did not mention a wife or children. He did mention his brother Christopher's children, Samuel, William, Christopher, and Elizabeth; his brother Richard; his brother Rich; his brother-in-law Samuel Leslie; and his nephew James Eastmand. (This means that two of his sisters were married to a Samuel Leslie and an Eastmand.) (F-194c)

Richard: No will has been located for him. No evidence of children or a wife has been found in the Barbados church records.

Christopher: No will has been located for him. His children are mentioned in his brother Samuel Forte's will as Samuel, William, Christopher, and Elizabeth. His children and wife are not mentioned in the Barbados church records.

Thomas: No information has been located about this son or his possible offspring.

Enoch: He was a doctor in St. Philip's Parish, Barbados. He did not name any sons in his will. His children were Jane, Elizabeth, Mary Austin, and Rebecca, all under age 21 when he died in 1771/2.

As a lieutenant in 1638, he and his wife Margaret sold 400 acres in Isle of Wight Co., VA, to William Underwood of the same place. (C-2403)

The will of Capt. John Upton, Gentleman, is recorded in Isle of Wight Co., VA. In it, he names his eldest son, John; William, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Margaret Underwood; his wife Margaret as executrix; and his friend William Underwood as one of the overseers. The will was dated Jan. 16, 1651, and proved Dec. 16, 1652. (C-2403) It is transcribed below from The William and Mary College Quarterly, Vol. 7, No. 4, pp. 205–249:

As far as DNA evidence connecting this James, who married Susannah (Nancy) Long, to my mother goes, I've had about five cousins to compare with her. Two of them matched her at 8.5 and 7.5 cM, respectively. Descendants of James Patrick and his father have two other matches with my mother at 7 or 8 cM:

A092025 M.C. — A855564 — gulfbarnetts@gmail.com
Chromosome 7: 138,188,768–144,571,031 — 8.5 cM — 753

A092025 M.C. — A790890 — martha.m.taylor@gmail.com
Chromosome 20: 5,595,738–8,329,467 — 7.5 cM — 656

He is likely the James who had 619 acres on Reed Creek surveyed in 1749. This is the same creek on which his brothers, William and Patrick, bought land. (vol25no10pp147_155_462179.pdf) This could be the land that James bought on Hays Creek off the James River.

He is listed as the brother(-in-law) of John Nobel in John's will, dated 1752, along with brothers Patrick and William Calhoun, who were named his executors in Augusta or Wythe Co., VA. He and his relatives, Patrick and Hugh (son of Uncle Hugh), along with his brother-in-law Joseph Long, witnessed the deed of sale of Robert and Mary (Baker) Ewing in Augusta Co., VA, in 1755. Robert and Mary Ewing were then of Lunenburg Co., VA, and were selling land they had received in 1749 on the Roanoke River.

This is important to note because it means that at least the Ewings were able to move from Augusta to Lunenburg by 1755. There had to be river routes (via the Roanoke River?) or trails to get them there by 1755, where my James Calhoun, b. bef. 1733, was living in 1748 at at least age 16. In that time period, it was extremely unlikely that people moved without other family members or friends also moving.

James (son of James Patrick Calhoun), along with his brother John Calhoon and William Crow, put up a bond for James Buchanan, a merchant of Henrico who was involved in a court case in Oct. 1765 in Augusta Co., Virginia. James and John are the only children of James Patrick who could account for this record. If that proves to be accurate, his wife, Nancy Susannah Long, did not likely die in the 1760 massacre at Long Cane, SC, unless James returned to Augusta Co., Virginia, after the massacre. It was his mother instead. According to Chalkley, the case was titled "Buchanan vs. Crow." It is also logical to assume that he was not the James who died in Captain Braddock's War in 1755.

As I have found no marriage record for her, she might be the Hannah Underwood who died at near age 70 on Jan 24, 1831 and is buried at the Warrington Burial Ground in Warrington Twp., York Co., Pennsylvania. She is not listed as anyone's wife in this record as married women were, and she is the right age and in the right place to be a match to this Hannah Underwood.

UNDERWOOD, Hannah (I847)

As of 2005, Dan was an architect residing in Atlanta, Georgia.

Asa Amos is a Jewish first and last name. It's my theory that his wife, Nancy, had a Caucasian father, John Hunter, and a mother who was possibly enslaved on a nearby homestead, as may have been the case with her probable sister, Susanah Hunter. It might have made sense in those times for a Jewish man with limited marriage prospects within his own community to wed a woman of mixed ancestry. This could be why they moved north shortly after marrying. My Susanah married William Clark in Virginia as they moved north. DNA evidence suggests that William may also be the source of some of my traces of African ancestry.

In any case, Asa/Asy and Nancy had a very large family and lived long lives for their time. They remained closely linked to my Susanah Hunter throughout their adult lives.

AMOS, Asa (I10019)

Asa was a wanderer. The closest match to him is an Asa Coates who was living in Niagara, New York in the 1860 census in which he is married to a Miranda. He and his wife had multiple children and New York is listed as the birthplace for af them. (C-1625, EL)

At Ancestry, my mother's descent from Mary Tharp is supported by a DNA Circle that connects five participants to this same Mary Tharp and to various members of the group. This is evidence that we descend genetically through this James Glenn.

Mary is listed as Mary in the 1850 and 1860 censuses and as Polly on her gravestone. As Polly was a nickname for several women's names, including Mary, I am assuming that her original name was Mary. It was common in the Tharp line to name daughters Mary and call them Polly. (CL-308)

About the same time as our Mary, the following Tharps were in Gallia Co., Ohio: In the 1820 census, Abel (Raccoon Twp.), who married Polly Bruno on Sept. 7, 1820; Zaus; Jane Tharp, who married William Blagg on Sept. 14, 1817; Jesse, who married Nancy Stephens on Dec. 30, 1819; and John Tharp (Perry Twp.), who married Harriet Souls on Feb. 3, 1828.

Zaus was born in 1804 in Gallia Co., Ohio. He married Mrs. Rachel Calfrey. They moved to Boone Co., Indiana, and then to Grundy Co., MO. He died there on Sept. 8, 1885. (CL-399)

By 1830, the Gallia Co., Ohio, census lists only a John Tharp in Spring... Twp. Joseph and his son Abel moved to Tippecanoe Co., IN, in 1830. William Tharp was in Tippecanoe Co., IN, by 1840. Zaus was also in Boone Co., IN, by then. Based on their migration pattern through Gallia County, I believe they are likely to be the father and brothers of our Mary Polly Tharp.

Zaus (also known as Isaias, after Joseph's brother?; Esaes; or Isaac, after Joseph's brother?) named one of his daughters Mary Polly Tharp. (CL-425, 448)

At Ancestry, my mother's descent to James Glenn is supported by a DNA Circle that relates 5 participants all back to this same James Glenn and inter-relates them to various members in the group. In it 3 of the members descend from this Jaenn and all are related to each other through DNA. This is called triangulation and proves that we descend from James Glenn genetically: M.C., JClark2d, and w_woods57. A second triagulation in this group again is proof and that is between M.C., JClark2d and terkamazis. James Glenn "was a farmer and cabinet maker. His home, west of (Glenn) Cemetery (near Vinton), was a 'weigh station' for the 'underground railroad.' James was amongst a small group of families that emigrated from Virginia and helped found Huntington Twp. in Gallia Co., Ohio. A religious man, he was instrumental in starting the first Presbyterian Church of Huntington and Raccoon in 1829, serving as Ruling Elder and Clerk." (CL-149) He was known as Uncle Jimmy to his nieces and nephews. (CL-453)

James paid taxes on his chattel in the 1827 tax lists for Huntington Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio (CL-499, 587) He was involved in several land transactions after that date. On Feb 3, 1831, Andrew Y. Glenn and his wife, Margaret, sold 30 acres of land on the west side of the northwest quarter of Section 25, Twp.7, Range 16 from lands he bought at Chillicothe, Ohio to James Glenn (his brother) for 200 hundred dollars. (CL-DOC, V. 12, p. 147) On Nov. 23, 1833, John B. Poindexter sold land in Range 16, Twp. 7 & part of Section 25 &26 bordering on Raccoon Creek for $275.00 to James. Both of these properties are listed as in his possession in the 1874 Gallia Co., Ohio Atlas. (V. 12, p. 146) (CL-523, 590) On Sep 6, 1834, James Glenn & Polly, his wife, sold Andrew Y. Glenn a section of the northeast corner of the north west quarter of Section 25 in Twp. 7,, Range 16 for 96 dollars. It abutted Raccoon Creek. (CL-524, V. 12, p. 653) The last record found was on Mar 2, 1864 between James Glenn and his son, Milton K. Glenn. Milton bought ten acres of land from his father for $200.00 in Huntington Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio that was part of the northeast quarter of Section 20. (CL-537, Vol. 33, p. 585) The 1880 Ohio census record, pg. 425D, Huntington Twp., Gallia Co., Oh, says that he was born in Virginia in 1792 as were his parents. His wife was born in Pennsylvania as were her parents. She was 67 and he was 88 in this 1880 census. (CL-229)

According to readings of his cemetery stone, he died on Jan 11, 1886, age 93 yrs, 9 months and 19 days. This would make his birth date to be Mar 23, 1792 - and needs rechecking as it doesn't match previous information on his day of birth.

James was married to all three of the above women. Two of them are verified by their gravestones in Glenn Cemetery. His last two wives names can be verified in the administration of James Glenn's will. His first wife's nickname, Polly, is on her gravestone. She is listed as Mary in the 1850 and 1860 census. His marriage to his first wife, Mary (Polly) Tharp was the first marriage that occurred after Huntington Twp. was formed from Raccoon Twp. in 1810. She was the mother of all his children. (CL-411) A transcription of his second marriage follows: "James Glenn and Mary M. Hartsook: The State of Ohio Gallia County (...) I do hereby certify that on the 22nd day of December AD 1863 by (venture) of License issued by the Judge of the Probate Court of said county. I joined in marriage James Glenn and Mary M Hartsook Given under my hand the 29th day of December in the year 1863. H.R. How M.V.D." (CL-181)

The following will of James Glenn is from the Gallia Co. Courthouse. It is being transcribed with original spelling and punctuation retained by Linda Coate Dudick. "In the name of the Benevolent Father of All I James Glenn of the County of Gallia and the State of Ohio being of sound mind and memory and in lieu of the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death do make and publish this my last will and testament in the manner and following that is to say First It is my will that out of my personal Estate all my Just debts, funeral expenses, cost of administration and the (bequest) hereafter mentioned shall be fully paid Second It is further my will that in addition to what I have heretofore given to my daughter Electa J Radekin I hereby give and bequeath to her ten dollars to be paid to her out of my personal Estate it being in full all that I ever intended to give her Three It is further my will that in addition to what I have heretofore giving to my daughter Terza She(ron) I hereby give and bequeath to her the sum of forty dollars to be paid out of my personal Estate it in full of all that I ever intended to give Fourth It is further my will that ( ) heretofor giving my daughter Eliza J.

P P Porter Benj (Martin) (CL-154) APPLICATION TO PROBATE WILL In the Probate Court of Gallia County, Ohio. James Glenn Deceased. And now comes Milton K. Glenn and produces for admission to Probate in said Court, the Last Will and Testament and the Codicil thereto of James Glenn late a resident of the Township of Huntington in said County, who died on the 11th day of January A.D. 1886. Said Will was not deposited during the lifetime of the Testator, in the office of the Judge of the Probate Curt of said County, for safe-keeping, as allowed by law. Said Testator died leaving Mary Glenn his widow and the following persons all his next of kin resident in the State of Ohio. Eliza Jane Clark, daughter, P.O. Box Rio Grande, O; Electa Radikin, daughter, Rio Grande, O; M.K.

Sworn to before me and subscribed in my presence this 21 day of January A.D. 1886 John J. Thomas Probate Judge. (CL-153)

The administration of James Glenn's will gives us clues as to the married names of his unknown daughters as the following grandchildren are listed as living relatives: Grandsons, Curtis Davis, William G. (Davis) and Granddaughters, Rathsheba Dye(r), Mary Vie(r)s, and (Terza) Quickle. (CL-154,155,453) Unknown or additional Glenn children might prove to be any of the following Glenn's located in records about Gallia County. Elizabeth Mahala Jane Glenn, died July 5, 1831, aged 7 years, 8 months, 19 days (buried near likely grandparents, William and Ann Curry Glenn). (From her age, she is either James or brother George's daughter.) Born in 1823, she has the exact same tree symbol carved on her stone as her possible brother, James Carlille Glenn, son of James Glenn. Polly Ann Glenn, died Feb 2, 1837, aged 15 years 4 months and 12 days. She is buried near her grandparents, William and Ann Glenn in the center of Glenn Cemetery, as all their grandchildren that died as children seem to be. There is a tree symbol on her cemetery stone, like several other suspected children of this James and Polly Glenn. Franklin J. Glenn & Samantha had a d. Ella in 1869. George W. Glenn married to Jane J. Tyler who had a son Edmore F. in 1870. (I personally believe these last two are a generation after his children and are either grandsons or gr. nephews).
