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

Much of the information on this family was obtained from:

*  The book,  More Palatine Families, by Henry Z. Jones, published in 1991[1].

*  The book Descendants of Leonhard Neighbour, Immigrant to America, 1738 by Lambert Bowman Neighbour, published in 1906[3].

*  The book Early Germans of New Jersey by Chambers[4].  

Johann Leonhard Nachbar was born in about May 1698, probably in Oberweiler, Rheinland-Pfalz, the son of Thomas and Elisabetha Margaretha (--?--) Nachbar[2-3].  He was baptized in the church at Hinzweiler near Oberweiler on 24 March 1700[1].  

He married Maria Margaretha --?-- in about 1720 in Rheinland-Pfalz, and they had four children (the first three born in Rheinland-Pfalz, the last in New Jersey)[1,3-4]:

*  Anna Margaretha Nachbar (1722-1765), married Henrich Schenckel (1721-1769) in about 1749.

*  Anna Martha Nachbar (1724-1770), married Matthias Trimmer (1722-1793) in about 1742.

*  Maria Elisabetha Nachbar (1728-1766), married Johann Wilhelm Welsch (1719-1805) in about 1747.

*  Leonhard Nachbar (1741-1806), married Louisa Elisabeth Wise (1744-1807) in about 1760.

"Leonhard Nachtbar" was a passenger on the ship "Robert and Alice," arriving in Philadelphia in 1738 with the Schenckle, Weiss, Tofort, Terryberry and other families who settled in the German Valley of Morris County, New Jersey[1,3-4].

"Leonard Neighbor" was one of six purchasers of the Logan Tract in German Valley in Morris County, New Jersey in 1749;  he bought the fifth farm of 310 acres for 147 pounds[1,3-4].  Matthias Trimmer (a son-in-law) had the farm adjacent to the south, and Wilhelm Welsch (another son-in-law) had the farm adjacent to the north.  

"Linerd Nagber" signed Weygand's call to the pulpit in the German Valley church in 1749[1].

Leonard Neighbor is entitled to be called the "Father of German Valley" because not only every Neighbor, but every Schenckel and Welsh, and nearly every Trimmer, is descended from him[4].

The will abstract of "Leonard Nochber," dated 10 January 1765, and proved after his death in August 1766, reads[5]:

"Wife, Margreata, all my estate; and after her death, my son, Leonard, to have my lands; but if he die leaving no heir, then the lands to be sold, and money given to my grandchildren.  To children of my oldest daughter, Anna Margreata, late wife of Henry Shankle, 200 pounds.  To the children of my daughter, Anna Martha Trimmer, the wife of Mathias Trimmer, 200 pounds.  To the children of my daughter, Mary Elizabeth Welsh, the wife of William Welsh, 200 pounds."  

The executors were son Leonhard and Roelof Roelofson; the Witnesses were Jacob Graa, Johan Andrew Hansell and Elisabeth Roelofson.

Johann Leonhard Nachber died 26 August 1766 in German Valley, andf was buried at the Old Stone Union Church Cemetery in Long Valley, New Jersey[2].  The epitaph on his gravestone says:

"Here lies the body

of Leonhard Nachbar

who departed this life 

August the 26th 1766

and aged 68 years

and 3 months"

My Latest 23andMe Ethnicity Estimate and Chromosome Painting

23andMe announced recently that they had changed their ethnicity estimates (they call it "Ancestry Composition."  I last wrote about this in 23andMe Adds New Features to Ancestry Composition Estimates (posted 15 January 2019).

1)  My Ancestry Composition has changed a bit from four months ago.  Here is the latest (2 screens):

My Ancestry Composition has changed (for the 50% Speculative estimates):

*  British & Irish to 37.9% (was 46.7% in January 2019)
*  French & German to 31.9% (was 26.0% in January 2019)
*  Scandinavian to 7.5% (was 2.0% in January 2019)
*  Broadly Northwestern European to 20.6% (was 21.0% in January 2019)
*  Southern European to 1.0% (from 1.3% in January 2019)
*  Broadly European to 0.4% (from 1.1% in January 2019)
*  Trace Ancestry to 0.6% (from 0.5% East Asian & Native American and 0.1% Western Asian & Northern African)

I lost British & Irish, gained French and German, and gained Scandinavian.  I keep recalling that "these are only estimates!"

2)  The next chart of interest is "Your Ancestry Timeline" tells you how many generations back your most recent ancestor for each population:

 I agree with the British and Irish" time frame, but the "French and German" time frame is probably too late (all of my known German lines came before 1750), and I have no clue from the paper trail who my "Scandinavian," "Spanish and Portuguese" and "Native American" immigrant ancestors are.  Of course, I don't know where all of my ancestors since 1700 were born, but I know most of them. 

3)  The section for "Your Ancestry Composition Chromosome Painting" is fascinating to me.  For each chromosome, it "paints" the ethnicity that 23andMe thinks that it reflects (two screens):

From this I can see that my "East Asian & Native American" (0.6% of my DNA) is on one of my Chromosome 12.  I can see that one of my Chromosome 1 is mixed between British/Irish, French/German and Northwestern European; the other Chromosome 1 is Scandinavian and Northwestern Europe, with a bit of Native American at the end of it.

a)  It's easier to see these breakdowns by running my mouse over the sub-groups.  Here is my British & Irish: 

I can see from this that both of my parents had British and Irish ancestry on some of my chromosomes, but not on all of them.  I'm not surprised since my paper trail says my father is about 100% British and my mother is about 50% British and Irish.

b)  The French & German contribution:

I was surprised that there are several chromosomes where a pair has French and German ethnicity (like Chromosome 5 and 7).  My paper trail indicates that my mother has about 45% French and German ancestry, but my father has none.  However, the Saxons and Normans invaded England back in time.

c)  The Scandinavian contribution:

Chromosomes 1, 4, and 9 have some Scandinavian segments.  My paper trail shows my mother has one Scandinavian ancestor from the 1600s.  

d)  The Northwestern Europe contribution:

e)  The Southern European segments are on Chromosomes 6 and 12.  

f)  The X chromosome which I received from my mother is French & German and Northwestern European.

5)  General observations:

*  Some of the French and German and Scandinavian segments may be derived from the Jutes, Angles, Saxons, Vikings, Normans, etc. that invaded the British Isles over thousands of years.

*  The "Southern European" segments may reflect Roman or Iberian invasions of the British Isles in history.

*  My "Native American" ethnicity segment is on one of my Chromosome 12 which has British and Irish, but no French or German or Northwestern Europe.  I think that this may be from my mother's Canadian ancestry from the 1700s.

*  I have been told by experts that we cannot label one of the pair (top and bottom) of the 22 autosomal chromosomes as "from mother" or "from father" consistently; e.g., not all of the top of a chromosome pair is from "mother" - some top (or bottom) chromosomes may be "mother" or "father."  

*  If I can paint my chromosomes in DNA Painter based on shared DNA segments, perhaps I can determine which of each  pair is from my mother or father since I would know who the common ancestor is.

6)  Obviously, identifying the ethnicity of a chromosome segment is based on the reference groups that the testing service uses.  GIGO.  

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

Disclosure:  I paid for my 23andMe autosomal DNA test back in 2011, and have received no material considerations from 23andMe.

Seavers in the News -- Edward Seaver Dies in 1921 in Massachusetts

It's time for another edition of "Seavers in the News" - a weekly feature from the historical newspapers about persons with the surname Seaver that are interesting, useful, mysterious, fun, macabre, or add information to my family tree database.

This week's entry is from the Boston [Mass.] Globe newspaper dated 28 January 1921:

The transcription of the article is:

"EX-STATE SENATOR EDWARD SEAVER DEAD

"Edward Seaver died at his home, 22 Westminster av., Roxbury, yesterday after an illness of three weeks.  The funeral will be held from his residence on Sunday afternoon at 2:30.  Rev. Stanley G. Spear, pastor of the First Universalist Church, Roxbury, will conduct the services.

Mr. Seaver's death followed a severe heart attack three weeks ago from which he seemed to be recovering up to the day of his death.  He was born in Roxbury, son of the late William Seaver and Martha Page (Wentworth) Seaver and lived all his life in that section.  On his paternal side he traced his ancestry to Robert Seaver, who came to this country in 1632, settling in Roxbury and buying a large tract of land from the Indians.

"Edward Seaver was educated in the old Washington School and the Roxbury High School, entering the grocery business of his father at the corner of Tremont and Ruggles sts., after graduation.  For some time after the grocery was closed in 1894, Mr. Seaver retired from active business but later formed a real estate concern with Arthur H. Frost, under the firm name of Seaver & Frost, in the Tremont Building.  This interest Mr. Seaver continued to the time of his illness.

He served three terms as State Senator from his district in 1901, 1902 and 1903.  He was a Mason of high degree.  He was a member of the Roxbury Historical Society and for some years was its president.  He was a member of the First Universalist Church and had served on the standing committee of the church.

In  1873, Mr. Seaver married Miss Mary Kate Russell of Brookline who died about three years ago.  He is survived by two daughters, Miss Mary Kate Seaver and Miss Susan Russell Seaver, both of whom reside at their family home in Roxbury, and a son, Edward Seaver, Jr., of Cleveland.  Mr. Seaver's brother, Llewellyn D. Seaver, is a cashier at the Old Colony Trust Company.

The source citation for the article is:

"Ex-State Senator Edward Seaver Died" The Boston [Mass.] Globe newspaper, obituary, Friday, 28 January 1921, page 4, column 4, Edward Seaver obituary;   Newspapers.com   (https://www.newspapers.com : accessed 9 May 2019).

This obituary provides a death date, an approximate birth date and marriage date, his wife's name, his parents names, and the names of his children.  In addition, his life history in the public arena.  

There are two minor errors in the story - Robert Seaver (1608-1683) arrived in early 1634 (not in 1632) in Boston and settled in nearby Roxbury, and did not buy a large tract of land from the "Indians."  He did obtain  a one acre tract of land, where he built his house, from the Roxbury town in the 1634 time frame, and bought more land over time in Roxbury and Dedham.

Edward Seaver was born on 3 June 1849 in Roxbury, Massachusetts, the second son and third child of William Seaver (1818-1874) and his first wife, Martha Page Wentworth (1816-1857).  He married Mary Kate Russell (1852-1916) on 8 October 1873 in Boston.  They had three children:

*  Mary Katherine Seaver (1874-????).

*  Susan Russell Seaver (1876-1964), married Henry Latimer Seaver (1878-1975) in 1908, no known children.

*  Edward Seaver (1878-1962), married Grace Ambrose Whitmore (1881-1966) in 1907, two children. 

Edward Seaver (1849-1921) is my 5th cousin 5 times removed.

Treasure Chest Thursday - 1765 Will Abstract for Leonard Nochber (1700-1766) of Morris County, New Jersey

It's Treasure Chest Thursday - a chance to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings.

The treasure today is the 1765 will abstract for Leonard Nochber in Morris County, New Jersey:

The transcription of this record is:

"Wife, Margreata, all my estate; and after her death, my son, Leonard, to have my lands; but if he die leaving no heir, then the lands to be sold, and money given to my grandchildren.  To children of my oldest daughter, Anna Margreata, late wife of Henry Shankle, 200 pounds.  To the children of my daughter, Anna Martha Trimmer, the wife of Mathias Trimmer, 200 pounds.  To the children of my daughter, Mary Elizabeth Welsh, the wife of William Welsh, 200 pounds."

The source citation for this record is:

A. Van Doren Honeyman (editor), Documents Relating to the Colonial History of the State of New Jersey, First Series, Vol. XXXIII; Calendar of New Jersey Wills, Administrations, etc. Volume IV, 1761-1770 (Somerville, N.J. : Unionist-Gazette Association, Printers, 1928), page 309, Leonard Nochber entry.

This will abstract names the wife and four children of [Johann] Leon[h]ard Nachbar (later Neighbor), with the names of the spouses of his three daughters.  

I overlooked this will entry when the New Jersey will books before 1800 were briefly available in 2015 on Ancestry.com.  This record is an abstract, and therefore a Derivative Source.  The will books (with will transcriptions) for Morris County are in the FamilySearch Catalog but access is restricted to FamilySearch Centers. 

Johann Leonhard and Maria Margaretha (--?--) Nachber are my 6th great-grandparents, through their daughter Anna Martha Nachbar (1726-1770), who married Matthias Trimmer (1722-1793).

Where Are the Morris County, New Jersey Probate Records in the Family History Library Catalog - UPDATED

I was looking for the Morris County, New Jersey wills from the 1760-1800 period on the Family History Library Catalog tonight, and found this entry:

That's just what I want!  I clicked on the "New Jersey, Probate Records are available online, click here" link and saw:

Where is Morris County on the list?  It should be between Monmouth and Ocean, but it isn't.  So they aren't on the browseable record collection on   https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/list?cqs=new%20jersey.

All is not lost, however.  The Catalog entry for the early probate records are on digital microfilm:

However, I will have to go to the local FamilySearch Library to see them since there is a key over the photo icon in the right-hand column.

UPDATE:  After I posted this on Facebook, Aine Ni Donneghaile commented that "Morris County was taken down, from Ancestry and FamilySearch, due to contract disagreements with the county. Old news."

I missed that bit of news.  Apparently, the records are at Morris County Archives.

Thank you to Aine for the help!

Emily Kemp Auble in About 1916 -- Post 564 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday

An Auble cousin gifted me with a photograph album of her family several years ago which included quite a few photos of my grandmother, Emily Kemp (Auble) Carringer and her parents, Charles and Georgianna (Kemp) Auble.

Included in the photo album, created by Bessie (Auble) Pentecost in about 1930, was this intriguing photo:

This photograph is of my grandmother, Emily Kemp Auble (1899-1977), taken in about 1916, when she was a high school student.  The setting may be the back yard of the Auble house at 767 14th Street in San Diego, or some other place. 

Several years ago, while doing Auble research, a descendant of Will and Bessie (Auble) Pentecost contacted me and offered the album to me, telling me that it had many photographs of the family of my grandparents (Lyle and Emily (Auble) Carringer).  I have kept the album intact in case she ever wants it back, but have digitized many of the photos of my Carringer and Auble families. 

Unfortunately, there were no photographs of the parents of Charles Auble, David and Sarah (Knapp) Auble of Terre Haute, Indiana.
