Of course, I'll never be done writing about this family, or at least learning about them. However, I've come to a stopping point and any posts I write now will either be of things I've learned from the Huntington newspaper, or I'll post when I find the story of a new Beeks ancestor. Since some of these people right now are first names only, I don't hold out a lot of hope for locating them, but certainly stranger things have happened. My criteria for including people on this list is that they at least died in this country. Some were probably immigrants and some may have been here for several generations, but I just can't trace them.
Here are the names I'm looking for:
Timothy Martin, born about 1798 died before 1870; married in 1833 in Shelby County, Ohio to
Hannah Tilberry or Tilbury, born about 1810. They may have died in Wabash County, Indiana.
possibly Eva, the wife of George Philip Serfass. She would have been born about 1783, maybe.
Sabina, wife of Frederick Serfass, born about 1760.
Felix Weiss about 1720-1779 died in Hamilton Township, Monroe County, Pa.
Anna Maria van Buskirk, his wife, born about 1726
George Featheringill 1710-1767-died in Frederick County, Va.
possibly Elizabeth Marie Settlemire, his wife
Hannah, wife of William Lehew about 1745-1810, died in wythe County, Va.
Tabitha, widow Underwood, wife of William Hunt, early Virginia
Elizabeth, wife of Hugh Donaghe
Isabel Hamilton, wife of John Donaghe
Thomas Hicklin, 1689-1772
Richard Bodkin 1710-1773
Elizabeth, wife of Richard Bodkin
Barbara, wife of Johan Jacob Bentz
Rebecca Caroline, wife of Christian Funk
Polly Carter 1805-1880, Lagro, Wabash County, Indiana, wife of John Beeks
Elizabeth, wife of Johann Gottfried Neimrich
Johann Gottfired Neimrich
possibly John Barnes and his possible wife Elizabeth, parents of Catherine Barnes
As you can see, for most of these people I have little to go on. However, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. They also ask for help, which is what I'm doing now. Can you help me learn the stories of any of these people, and possibly their parents?
