Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Friendly Fill-Ins for Thanksgiving

Calling all Genea-Musings Fans: 

 It's Saturday Night again - 
time for some more Genealogy Fun!!



Here is your assignment if you choose to play along (cue the Mission Impossible music, please!):

1) 
This is a fun meme co-hosted by McGuffy's Reader and 15 and Meowing (thanks to Suzanne McClendon on the P.S. Annie blog for the links).

2)  Fill in the blanks for these four statements:

1. One Thanksgiving tradition I have is __________________________.
2. Black Friday ______________________________________________.
3. The best part about Thanksgiving Day is _______________________.
4. One Thanksgiving, _________________________________________.


3)  Tell us in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, or in a Facebook or Google+ post.  Be sure to drop a comment to this post if you write your own blog post and link to it.

Here's mine:


1.  One Thanksgiving tradition I have is:  Watching the football games while trying to keep up with my blog writing.

2.  Black Friday:  is the day after Thanksgiving and I avoid going shopping.  I may do a lot of genealogy research that day.

3.  The best part of Thanksgiving Day is:  going out to dinner so that Linda doesn't have to cook.  We often invite friends to go with us.  This way there are no dried out turkey leftovers.  

4.  One Thanksgiving (I think 2012), we were going to have the family over for dinner.  The week before, Linda bought a 13 pound turkey and put it in the freezer.  Several days before the big day, she got up early and wanted to take it out of the freezer to thaw it out.  Well, her hands slipped, and the turkey (about the size and heft of a bowling ball) dropped on her right foot, breaking a toe and damaging two other toes.  

She managed to wake me up by yelling (it was like 6 a.m.) and I got up and treated her toe, got Mr. Butterball back in the fridge, and cleaned up the blood prints on the floor.  It was pretty obvious that the toe was broken, so we went to the E.R. and they treated it and gave her pain meds and sent her home.  Our daughter, Tami, stepped in as the cook on Thanksgiving Day and we had a great time.  Linda had little stress that day.  After that, we decided our new tradition would be to go out to Thanksgiving dinner.

This Week's We're Related Relationships

The We're Related mobile app on my iPhone keeps adding cousin relationships to me, based on my Ancestry Member Tree and someone else's Ancestry Member Tree (I think!).

This week's list is:


1)  Edgar Allen Poe - Author, 5th cousin 5x removed, common ancestor is Susanna (--?--) (1646-1730 (wife of Timothy Worcester ans Henry Ambrose).



I am descended from Susanna twice - once from each husband!  I think this relationship is probably correct.

2)  Tim Burton - Author, 9th cousin, common ancestor is Frans Janszen Bloetgoet (1630-1676).



I think this relationship is probably correct.

3)  Harry S. Truman - President, 8th cousin 2x removed.  common ancestor is Adam Mott (1597-1661).



I don't know if this relationship is correct.  Harry's line goes through a George Mott (1620-1674) who I don't have as a son of Adam Mott.  This is a Maybe.

4)  George Washington - President, 5th cousin 7x removed, common ancestor is John Church (1548-1593).



John Church is the father of Richard Church (1570-1623), who was the father of Richard Church (1608-1668.  The Great Migration series says that Richard Church 1608 origins are unknown.  I judge this relationship as Doubtful.

5)  John McCain - Politician, 7th cousin, common ancestor is Samuel Brown (1686-1739).



I am not sure about the John McCain line back to Samuel Brown.  It is through a son Samuel Brown (1714-1788), and I have that Samuel Brown (1713-1738) and unmarried.  I judge this relationship as Possible.

6)  Zachary Taylor - President, 5th cousin 6x removed, common ancestor is Mary (--?--) Brewster (1569-1627).



Mary is the wife of William Brewster of the Mayflower, and mother of Patience Brewster (my line) and Fear Brewster (Zachary's line).  I judge this relationship as Probable.

7)  Sarah Palin - Politician, 7th cousin 1x removed, common ancestor is Henry Smith (1680-1743).



My line is through Henry's son Moses Smith (by third wife) while Sarah's line is through Sarah Smith (by second wife).  I judge this relationship as Probable.

8)  Avril Lavigne - Musician, 8th cousin 2x removed, common ancestor is Jacob Warren (1642-1722). 



The app says that my line goes to Jacob Warren through Abigail Warren (1707-1748), mother of Hannah Colby.  However, my Ancestry Member Tree says that Hannah Colby's mother was Abigail Worthen (1714-????), daughter of Ezekiel Worthen and Abigail Carter.  Why doesn't the app follow MY tree?  I don't understand that.  I judge this relationship as Unlikely, but will look into Abigail Worthen's ancestry soon.

9)  Cathy Naboroski - Facebook friend, 9th cousin, common ancestor is Jane (--?--) Smith (1620-692), wife of Michael Smith.  

I have Cathy's ancestor Pelatiah Smith in my database, but have no further information.  I judge this relationship as Probable.

10)  Sarah Johnson - Facebook friend, 9th cousin, common ancestor is Joseph Peirce (1647-1713) of Watertown, Mass.

I have Sarah's ancestor Elizabeth Pierce in my database, but have a different husband for her.  I judge this relationship as Possible.

11)  Del Ritchhart - Facebook friend, 7th cousin 1x removed, common ancestor is Catharina Langendorf (0160-0150).

This Catharina Langendorf is listed as the great-grandmother of my ancestor Catherine Ruth (1770-1813).  My Ancestry Member Tree does not include parents, grandparents or great-grandparents for Catherine Ruth.  The app has, somehow, added three generations to my tree somehow.  Del's line looks good, although the birth-death years for the "common ancestor" are erroneous!  My judgment is that this relationship is Unlikely.

12)  Amy Urman - Facebook friend, 9th cousin, common ancestor is John Davis (1640-????) of Lynn, Mass.

My line is through daughter Sarah (Davis) Bowden, while Amy's is through John Davis (1674-1752).  I judge this relationship as Probable.

13)  Elizabeth Swaney O'Neal - Facebook friend, 8th cousin 2x removed, common ancestor is Sarah Nutting (1663-????) of Groton, Mass.

My line is through Sarah's second husband, John Stone (1658-1735), while Elizabeth's line is through a husband named Phaneuf, who I don't have in my database.  I judge this relationship as Possible.

My count is up to 57 famous or Facebook cousins.  

My biggest problem with this We're Related app is that it thinks it knows my ancestral lines better than I do, and adds one to three generations to some of my end-of-line ancestors.  They may be right, I don't know, and can't really find out because they provide no source material to back up their assertions.  If there was authoritative information for my end-of-line ancestors, I would add it.  None of the additions have been convincing to me yet.

Findmypast Friday - Millions of new 1939 records available to search, 18 November 2016

I received this press release from Findmypast today:

==========================================

Findmypast Friday - Millions of new 1939 records available to search



Over 2 million new records are available to search this Findmypast Friday including:



The 1939 register now contains over 5 million more records than it did at launch. In the year since the Register was launched, Findmypast has matched millions of 'closed records' to multiple data sources to correctly confirm the date and location of death for individuals recorded. This process has resulted in more than three million records being opened in the past 12 months, while an additional two million records have been opened in the past week to mark the first anniversary of the register's launch. 

The 1939 Register now contains more than 32.8 million open records. Each record includes the names of inhabitants at each address, their date of birth, marital status and occupation. A wealth of contextual information, including period photographs never before seen online, infographics, region-specific newspaper articles and historical and contemporary maps, are personally tailored to each record, offering a rich and unique user experience unrivalled by any other family history research tool to date.



Containing over 280,000 records, this index lists the details of New South Wales railway and tramway employees who died while serving in the First World War.

The index was compiled from a single volume, printed in 1924, by the State Records NSW volunteer program and contains 1,214 entries. It covers a wide variety of military units and will reveal the year your ancestor was killed, the unit there were serving with and the railway or tram branch they worked for.



Britain, The National Guard In The Great War 1914-1918 is 316 page tribute to the role of the 'Home Guard' during the First World War. Trained to assist in the event of an invasion of Britain during the war, the National Guard was made up of men considered too old for active service. This history of the first 'dad's army' gives great insight into the important service rendered by these volunteers during the war.

Originally published in 1920, the volume includes a number of photographs and lists of the men who served, including those who went on to join the regular forces as the war progressed.



Ireland, 19th Century Directories allows you to search across more than 120 volumes of fascinating Irish directories containing more than 74,000 records. A listing may reveal your ancestor's occupation, place of business and/or home address. The directories were published annually, which means that you may be able track your ancestor year by year. Most of the details in the directories were collected six months before publication; therefore, all the listings are six months old. The type of information recorded will vary depending on the publication and year although most will list the names of local gentry and professionals as well as merchants, traders, and, in some publications, local officials.

The records are presented as PDFs (portable digital files). This feature allows you to narrow your search by publication, year and page number. After selecting an image, you can read through the whole directory by using the previous and next buttons at the top of the image.

4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):   

Some of the material presented below is excerpted from the book The Kings of York County:  Pioneers, Patriots and Papermakers by Richard Shue.  Part II details the life and times of Philip Jacob King, the elder, the Patriot[1].  Other information was obtained from records in the York Public Library[2] and from other available records.

Philipp Jacob Koenig was born 15 February 1738 in Niederhorbach[2-3]  and baptized on 18 February 1739 in Edenkoben in Rheinland-Pfalz, according to the German Birth and Baptism records on FamilySearch[3].

Jacob King came to America in 1752.  He became a naturalized British subject in 1762, in accordance with an edict of His Majesty's Parliament[1].

On April 1, 1763, the Reverend John Waldschmidt, of the reformed faith, married Philip Jacob King and Maria Barbara Wilhelm, in the parlor of the bride's home, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.  The marriage record in Lancaster church records says[5,13]:

"KONIG, Philip Jacob, s. of Nicolaus Konig, and Maria Barbara, d. of Jacob Wilhelm; Apr. 1, 1763; in Jacob Wilhelm's house."  

Philip Jacob and Maria Barbara (Wilhelm) Konig had seven children between 1763 and 1777 in York County, Pennsylvania[1-2].  The first four were baptized in the First Reformed (Trinity) church in York, and the last three were baptized in Manchester Lutheran  church.

On 27 December 1763, Jacob purchased 200 acres of his parents farm, including their home.  Jacob was a farmer until 1771, when he became a miller of grain.  His brother-in-law, Martin Cronemiller, died in 1771, and his grist mill became the property of his widow Elizabeth, Jacob's sister.   On June 10, 1771, he became the owner of the grist mill and 13 acres of adjoining land[1].

In 1775, Philip Jacob King emerged as a public figure, with his appointment as Supervisor of Highways for Manchester township.  In November 1775, he was chosen by popular vote as a member of the York County Committee of Safety.  This was after the American Revolution had begun, and the committee was the local authority in all matters pertaining to prosecution of the war.  The committee selected officers for the Sixth Pennsylvania Battalion, formed the battalion and trained them for service.  The committee members also served in the local militia[1].                   

On 7 July 1776, three days after the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, the five militia battalions of York County were on the march to the rendezvous point at Perth Amboy, New Jersey, to prepare for battle with General Howe's Army threatening New York City.  After New York was captured by the British, in the disastrous battle of Fort Washington on 16 November 1776, the York County troops were outflanked by the enemy and almost the entire command was captured.  However, the York County troops were at the vanguard of the battles of Trenton and Princeton on the morning of 26 December 1776, following the crossing of the Delaware[1].

Upon his return to York, Jacob King resumed his activities for the Committee of Safety, and served in 1777 and 1778 as Assessor for Manchester Township, while remaining active in the militia.  In 1779, he began a three year enlistment as commanding officer of the Fourth Company, Third Battalion, holding the rank of Captain.  His company numbered 72 men.  The company was disbanded after the end of the war in 1783[1,6].

After the birth of their daughter Barbara in 1777, Jacob's first wife, Barbara, died[1].  

In 1779, Jacob King purchased a large lot in York for 1,500 pounds from Henry and Catharine Wolf.  A saw mill was erected and put into operation before 1781[1].  

In the 1780 Tax and Exoneration List for York County, Pennsylvania, Philip Jacob King was listed in Manchester township[7].  He had:

*  Warranted land:  256 acres
*  3 horses and mares
*  4 horned cattle
*  1 grist mill
*  1 sawmill
*  Value:  £132-7s-6d

He married, secondly, before 1781, his second wife, Maria Catherine Ziegler, daughter of John and Anna Ziegler, born 10 March 1749 and baptized in Christ Lutheran Church in York.  They had three children between 1783 and 1791[1].

In 1783, he was the owner of two houses, a grist mill, a saw mill and 250 acres in Manchester township.  He had three horses, five cows and twelve sheep[1].

Philip Jacob King was enumerated on the 1786 Septennial Census in Manchester, York County, Pennsylvania[8].

On 10 April 1787, Philip Jacob King "... requested to take up 50 acres of land, including an improvement, adjoining George Wolf, Casper Knaub, Gust Herbasuch and other land of the said King in Manchester Township...." provided he pay 10 pounds per hundred acres to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  The warrant was signed by Benjamin Franklin, President of the Supreme Executive Council[9].

In the 1790 United States Census, Jacob Phillip King was enumerated in Manchester, York County, Pennsylvania[10].  The household included:

*  3 free white males under age 16
*  1 free white male over age 16
*  4 free white females
*  1 other free person.

Philip Jacob King drafted his will on 29 November 1791[12];  it was probated on 25 February 1792, with his eldest son, Philip Jacob King, and his friend Peter Diehl, designated as executors of the estate. Regarding his widow, the executors were empowered to purchase a widow's seat in York for a price not to exceed 100 pounds.  She was also to receive 600 pounds annually from the estate, and be given "one cow, two beds, six pewter plates, two pewter platters, two large pewter basins, six pewter spoons, a copper kettle or an iron pot and a tea kettle, all of which she shall have her choice, the clothes press and as much linens as she shall choose, and have need for herself and small children."

Henry, the second son, inherited his father's grist mill and saw mill together with 50 acres of land on which they stood.  The will directed that Henry should make an initial payment of 1,500 pounds to the estate, 400 pounds after the first year, and 100 pounds yearly thereafter, to be equitable to the other eight children.  Adam, Peter and George were granted equal shares of land owned in Westmoreland County.  50 pounds was bequeathed to the First Reformed Church in York.  Lastly, it was his wish that the remainder of his real and personal property be sold at public sale and the proceeds divided equally to his nine children, with the one exception that his eldest son, Philip Jacob, receive 120 pounds, part of which he had received prior to the date of the will.

The life estate in York for the widow was consummated on 17 March 1792 for 180 pounds.  Catherine King lived there for 34 years until her death in 1826.  The public sale occurred in the first week of May, and two plantations of approximately 200 acres were sold for almost 1,600 pounds each.

Philip Jacob King and his two wives and several children are probably buried at Prospect Hill Cemetery in Yortk, Pennsylvania.
