The earliest known ancestor of Elizabeth Scherrer, wife of Conrad Goodner, was Nicholas Scherrer, born about the year 1700, and who lived in the village of Oberbetsbach, Germany, which was located far up the Rhine River in the province of Rheinland, a place which was undoubtedly the scene of his birth. He was a small farmer, owning about 40 acres of land.

The name of his wife is not known, but we do know the date of her death, which occurred on St. Gertrude's Day, November 15^th, 1763. Nicholas died the following year in 1764.

The original spelling of the name, as revealed in the old German letter to Elizabeth’s father, was Scherer, but subsequently it bas been spelled in various ways, such as Scherer, Sherer, Shearer, Sheerer, Sharer, Shear, Sheer. The spelling adopted by most members of the family is now Sherer.

Nicholas had three children, George Theobold, Jacob Daniel (father of Elizabeth), and a daughter whose name is not known, but who evidently married and resided in Oberbetsbach or close by. She was still Jiving with the father and mother in 1763, and received far too large a dowry to meet with the approval of George Theobold.

George Theobold married twice. His first wife was Catharine Elizabeth, by whom he had two daughters, Marie Elisabeth, and Catherine Salome. After the death of Catherine Elizabeth in 1756, George Theobold married in December of 1758, Angelia Miller, the daughter of Jochem Miller, a village official. By her he had two sons, John Ludwig and John Jacob. Evidently George Theobold remained on the farm and died there. What happened to the sons, we do not know.

The other son was Jacob Daniel Scherrer. According to the old German letter of Recommendation, which will be reproduced in facsimile and in translation later, he was born in Oberbetsbach in 1730. According to some descendants, his birth occurred February 2^nd, 1726. As far as is known to me the only documentary evidence of his birth date is in the old letter of recommendation, and I do not know what authority was used in establishing his date of birth as the earlier date given. Jacob Daniel grew to manhood on the farm of his father, but did not follow the occupation of farming. Instead he took up an apprenticeship in tailoring, and after due time mastered the trade and became a full journeyman. On August 31^st, 1751 he received a "letter of Recommendation" testifying to his having learned the trade to the satisfaction of the Master Tailor. This document is still in the hands of descendants after 200 years, and is greatly cherished by it's present Owner, who kindly loaned it to me to have it Photostatted. It is herewith reproduced in facsimile. This document is of the highest importance, both historically and genealogically.

The translation of this interesting document, as given in the Scherrer Family Genealogical Journal, is as follows:

We, The Sworn Masters of Tailoring in the town of Toweled, do hereby certify that the present Jacob Daniel Sherrer, born in Ober–bets–bach, 21 years ago, of average stature, brown hair, has learned the Tailoring trade to the satisfaction of Master Michael Grawang, and has shown himself industrious and truthful. We the undersigned wish to recommend him.

The black blotch shown in the Photostat is the seal of the order stamped in red wax. In the center of the seal are figures of two men, indicating styles of garments; also a pair of shears, and around the border of the seal are the words "Established 1707.”

This is the oldest document in the family. Although yellow with age, it is in surprisingly good condition after 200 years. It was evidently carried by Jacob Daniel Scherrer on his journey down the Rhine to Rotterdam, thence by boat to Portsmouth, England, and then by boat to America. Cherished by him during his lifetime, or for some 44 years, at his death it was guarded and treasured by his widow, Hannah Sophia, and by her turned over to her son, Christian, in Preble County, Ohio.

In 1835, he sent it to his sister, Elizabeth Goodner, in Washington County, Illinois. After her death it came into the possession of her son, Benjamin Goodner; on his death in St. Clair County, Illinois, in 1863, it passed into the hands of his son, William J. Goodner, and upon his death in 1893, it fell into the possession of his son, William Gooding Goodner. It is now in the possession of Mrs. Hester Ann Pape, nee Baker, 8497 La Jolla Shores Drive, La Jolla, California. Mrs. Pape is the daughter of Julia Goodner Baker, who was a daughter of William J. Goodner.

In May of 1752, Jacob Daniel Scherrer embarked on the Richard and Mary from Rotterdam, with a stop at Portsmouth, and arrived at Philadelphia Sept. 26th, 1752. Master of the ship was John Moor. Jacob probably went to Berks County, or he may have stayed in Philadelphia. However, in a few years he had his bride–to–be, Hannah Sophia Dick, come to this country, and it is reported that he paid for part of the cost of the trip. They were married, according to one report, October 7^th, 1755.

Their first child was born in 1759, some say in Pennsylvania and some say in Delaware, with the latter place seeming to be the correct one. In the year 1763, we find him in Orange County, North Carolina, residing in that portion of the county which was cut off in 1770 and formed into the county of Guilford. He resided near Gibsonville, his farm being located to the north of Rock Creek. He and his family attended Friedens Church, sometimes called "Shoemaker's Church", located two miles north of Gibsonville. This church in these early days not only served the Lutherans but also the German Reformed denomination.

Hannah Sophia Dick was not of the same Dick family that resided in Guilford County and still do to this day. They were descendants of a William Dick, a man of Scotch–lrish lineage. who migrated to Orange County about the year 1755, coming from the Scotch–lrish settlement in Pennsylvania. Records reveal quite a few of the name of Dick of German lineage, the ship lists of arrivals containing several of them. There is a belief among some of the family, to which belief I adhere, that the Scherrers and Dicks of Germany are descendants of families that escaped from Scotland during the period of religious persecutions, fled first to Holland. and thence to Germany. This would account for both families being found in both Scotland and Germany.

Friedens Church. which is still in existence and still prosperous, was about the first place of worship in that part of Orange County, and which after 1770, was in Guilford County. There worshiped the early families of Scherrers, Goodners, Tickles, Smiths, the Tades, Jordans, and no doubt other families whose names are familiar to us, such as the Goddards, the Mosers, Brownings, etc. In later years some of the Sherers were ministers of the church, namely Reverend Jacob Sherer and Reverend Simeon Sherer.

Here in this area. which even today is rather a beautiful countryside with rolling hills and pastures. Jacob Daniel lived out his days, farming and following the trade of making hats, and raising a large family of nine children. He died September 25^th, 1795, and was laid to rest in the graveyard of the Friedens Church. Next to his resting place lie the graves of his son, Frederick, and wife Barbara. A stone was placed over the spot years later by Simon P. Scherer, MD. This stone carried the inscription that both father and son were Revolutionary War Soldiers.

The following translation of this old German letter was made principally by Reverend M. G. G. Scherer, and is taken from the Scherrer Family Genealogical Journal, published by Dr. A. T. Scherer in 1909.

First of all, Greetings to you heartily and much beloved brother Jacob Daniel Scherrer. as well as to thy wife and children. I will write to you now how it is with us, and how I am, but I expect an answer from you. It is eight years the present Easter 1764 that I took charge of the farm and have not made anything but rather lost by degrees. My first wife, Catherine Elizabeth; died eight years ago, but I have two children by her–two daughters, namely Marie Elizabeth, the older, and the younger, Catherine Salome. Six years ago. two weeks before Christmas, I married again, and from this union have come two sons, named John Ludwig the older. and John Jacob the younger. (One sentence omitted.) She (my wife) is Angelia Miller, daughter of the village official, Jochem Christian Miller. As for us. we are all, thank God, well and hearty. Mother died on St. Gertrude's Day (November 15^th) 1763, and father one week before Shrove Tuesday of the present year, 1764. Eternal thanks be to the Almighty that He has relieved me of this burden. for which I have long sighed. Had he lived longer he would have reduced me to poverty. I never had any peace and was constantly obliged to resort to litigation with him so that I wished well nigh a thousand times that this might end. I could truly say, "father and mother have deserted me but the Lord careth for me. Unable to support myself any longer, I was constrained and compelled to sell my house and land and move to you in the new country. When the bargain was closed it was recorded by the bailiff and then carried by him to the county judiciary at Ottweiler. It was reported to me that I would have to supplicate to my prince for a certificate of dismission from his allegiance. Thus I had to have written a supplication to my most serene Prince and Lord. When therefore, I brought my application to the county judiciary he replied that I would not be permitted to leave the country but that the Prince had promised that the things should again improve in the land. He would recall all objectionable regulations. I, however, refused and entered into a disputation during which the judiciary said that if I should leave the country without securing a certificate of dismission from the Prince, all my property would be confiscated and seized by the Prince and the same thing would happen to my brother's possessions. Then I answered that the Prince could not confiscate my brothers' possessions, because when he left those regulations were not in force. Now because of the great excitement everywhere about the 'new country", no one is permitted to take even one Kroutser along. Not being permitted to take anything along, I was obliged to take charge again of my house and land, for I did not want to leave everything behind with wife and children for a strange land as Jacob did when he fled from his brother Esau, having nothing but a staff.

Dear brother, since the Prince is going to confiscate your inheritance I write you not to return on account of your inheritance. I beg of you, dear brother, to have the goodness at your first opportunity to write me or come yourself, that I may know what to do regarding your inheritance; whether you wish to give it to the Prince or give it to me. In the later case I would petition my most serene Prince and Lord accordingly.

Dear brother, please write me if I may still be able to secure a position where you are and how one may get to your country. One is not able to take anything along, and it is well nigh impossible to live here. The Prince is very exacting we have much compulsory service to render–every week, forced labor or help in the chase.

I have two–thirds of our estate, that is about 30 acres, for which I am obliged to pay annually to the Prince 18 to 19 Ruchstaller and five Gulden socage money. For two whole years we have had to survey the land (Lansmisseri). Our former system of taxation has been done away with. We now have the direct taxation and we are so over burdened that we find it difficult to exist. Our forest is gone–the Frankenholzer forest is cut down and turned into charcoal, the grove called Hohwaeldchen is cut away and made into cord wood and sold to the surrounding villages. Thus we have nothing but fallow ground and plats of misfortune. Now I will write to you why we have had the lawsuit. Father, mother and our sister kept together and suppressed me because I did not give my consent that father bestowed so much on our sister, especially the dowry, while we have nothing. I reproached him about it, but the judiciary upheld his part, and said that he could do as he pleased with his things. Now I know nothing more to write you except that the peace of God which passeth all understanding keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus, our Lord, and the God of peace sanctify us through and through, and the God of peace keep us from this time forth to Eternity. I remain your faithful servant and dear brother, George Theobold Scherrer, unto death. We wish all a thousand times goodnight. Oberbetsbach, April 19^th, 1764.

Your letter written to me I received February 27^th. Father was dead seven days when I received the letter. My letter was written to you April 19^th, 1764, and I carried the letter to Zweibrucken to John Nicholas Hibner, who went to his brother at Krumbach, where George Hibner is staying with his father. Now I know nothing more to write at this time except the peace of God which passeth all understanding keep all our hearts am minds in Christ Jesus unto Eternal Life, Amen. We wish you all many thousand times good night. Unto God alone be the glory. The piece of money of which you wrote to me in your letter I have given to your God parents.

Ober–bets–bach does not show on present day maps, but the town of Ottweiler does. It lies in the Saar, about fifteen miles north and east of Saarbrucken. About nine miles southeast of Ottweiler is the town of Homburg, and by tradition among some of Conrad Goodner descendants he was born in Homburg, that being the seat of the family. Homburg also lies in the Saar. During the Napoleonic wars the town of Ottweiler was captured by the French and some of the old castles there were burned, and some of their occupants perished on the guillotine. There is a very good article on the Saar in the February, 1935, issue of National Geographic Magazine, although it does not mention Ober–bets–bach. This small village must have been very close, however, to Ottweiler, since the judiciary there had charge over Ober–bets–bach.

Hannah Sophia, after the death of Jacob Daniel in 1795, continued to live on the farm of 195 acres until 1801, when she and sons, Jacob, Jr, and John, Christian, and David sold it to Henry Strader for the sum of $600.00. Why the other children were not parties to the deed is not known. Hannah Sophia, soon after this, went to live with her daughter, Elizabeth Goodner

In Tennessee, and when they moved on to southern Illinois, it is thought that she accompanied them. It is known that she made her home with her son, Godfrey, until his death in 1813, unmarried. She then lived with her son, Christian, in Preble County, Ohio, and was still living with him at the time of her death at the very ripe old age of 95 years. At her request she was buried in one corner of his homestead. Her grave carries no marker. She was still living in 1825, but apparently died a few years later. Her great grandson, Reverend Ambrose H. Scherer, in his family record, stated: "Great Grand Mother, Hannah Sophia Scherer: birth place, Germany; descent, German; education, good German; occupation, housewifery; politics, Whig; religion, Lutheran; stature, portly; complexion, fair; health, very good; disease, old age; place of burial, Preble County, Ohio; age 105 years; was left a widow in her old age. She, together with her sons and families, emigrated to the Stale of Ohio in the early history of that state. She was of the Dick family–a highly respectable and intelligent family of Germany. Jacob Sherer, her grandson, was a Lutheran minister and all the other members of that family were members of that church.” While this statement gives her age at time of death as 105 years, Mrs. Aaron Sherer, a daughter–in–law of Christian, shortly before her death before 1909, stated that she thought Hannah Sophia could not have been over age 95 at death, which appears to be about right.

Nicholas Scherrer, born about 1700, Ober–bets–bach, Germany; died 1764. Name of wife not known; died 11–15–1763, Germany.

1a George Theobold Scherrer, Married 1^st Catherine Elizabeth; died 1756. Married 2^nd Angelia Miller.

2a Jacob Daniel Scherrer, born 1730, Germany; died 1795. Married Hannah Sophia Dick.

While we are interested mainly in the descendants of Jacob Daniel and Hannah Sophia, one cannot help but ponder over the fate and fortunes of George Theobold and his descendants in the period of French occupation of the Saar, beginning in the year 1793 and continuing for 15 years. George Theobold may have been deceased by then, but his children, and those of his sister, were undoubtedly still living in the area, with perhaps John Ludwig residing on the old home place.

So far as we have them, we will show on the following chart the descendants of Jacob Daniel and Hannah down to and including the fourth generation from them.

(This information on the Scherer family is taken in most part from the Scherrer Family Genealogical Journals, published by A. T. Scherer of Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1909 and 1910. These appeared in four numbers. The sudden death of Mr. Scherer about 1911 prevented additional volumes from being printed.)

9b Hannah Sherer, born about 1777/8, Guilford County, North Carolina. Married 12–19–1797, Guilford County, North Carolina, David Tade, traditionally of Holland Dutch stock, born about 1770.

Tade held a Commission from the Governor of Illinois in the Black Hawk War. He remained in Jefferson County until 1825 or so, and then moved on to Tazewell County, in the north–central part of the State, where he remained a while, and then moved on to Iowa, settling in Bentonsport. Here he became the first Justice of the Peace and built the first frame house. David Tade died at the very ripe old age of 93, which would make the approximate year of death 1863.

(From the Surnames of Scotland, 1946, New York Public Library, we find that the name of Sherer, Shearer, Shearar, derives from the medieval English sherare, meaning one who dresses the pile of cloth, a shearer; in Latin, charters rendered cissor, or scissore. The first appearance of record of the name in Scotland is the year 1464, when the name appeared as Scherer. It again appeared in documents in 1612 as Sherer. Many families from Scotland fled from their native country during the religious persecutions there and went to Holland, and thence to Germany. Our family of Scherer may have been one of these families, as might also have been the family of Dick, which is also a Scotch name.)

Doctor Elisha Cullen Dick, a Quaker, and obviously of German extraction, moved from Philadelphia to Alexandria. Virginia. Sometime prior to the year 1783. He was one of the organizers of the first Masonic Lodge No. 39, and served as Secretary of the first meeting of that Lodge, February 25^th, 1783, and was the last Worshipful Master under the Pennsylvania jurisdiction. In 1789, Dick succeeded General Washington as Worshipful Master of the Masonic Lodge No. 22, and as such laid the corner stone of the District of Columbia in 1791. With his Lodge as Escort of Honor, he accompanied General Washington and assisted in laying the corner stone of the National Capital in 1793. He was one of the physicians beside Washington's bedside when he died, and opposed at the time the blood letting of Washington which so weakened him and hastened his death. He was over–ruled by the other and older physicians. He presided at the funeral lodge called December 16^th, 1799, and was a member of the Committee on Arrangements incidental to the burial ceremonies. He also performed the Masonic services at the funeral, December 18^th, 1799. Dick's silk Masonic apron, worn at the funeral of Washington, his medicine scales, and some of his medical books are now the valuable possessions of the Lodge of which he was Master. He died in 1828, and was buried in the Quaker Cemetery on Queen Street, Alexandria, Virginia. (From a pamphlet entitled A Memorial to Washington, the Mason, by the Alexander Washington lodge No. 22, Ancient Free & Accepted Masons.)

Since it is evident that the Dick family of which Dr. Dick was a member was of German extraction, and who were residents of Philadelphia, the thought is an interesting one that his family might have been connected with the family of Hannah Sophia Dick, wife of Jacob Daniel Scherrer. I doubt if the relationship was a close one, otherwise such a close friendship by a member of the family with so famous a person as Washington would not have gone unnoticed or unsung in the Scherrer family traditions. However, in those days it was easy to lose contacts with cousins.

Rachel Ann Harper, wife of Kenneth P. Schinstine; died from the effects of childbirth, March 7^th, 1960. Interred in the Air Force Academy Cemetery, Colorado Springs, Colorado. The child survived, Karen Elaine Schinstine, born 3–6–1960. Both children are living with their grandmother Schinstine in Easton, Pennsylvania.

Jeri Lane Robinson, daughter of William H. and Wilma Robinson, was born 7–21–1959 in Columbus, Georgia. Mr. Robinson has returned to this country from Germany, is in the Armed Forces, and making that his career (see John Goodner).

Daniel Wesley Robinson, Sgt. in US Army, married Annette Neuman, 8–8–1959, in St. Michel's Church at Schwabisch Hill–Hassental, Breitackenweg, Germany. She is the daughter of Mrs. Johanna Neuman of that city and the late Herr Neuman (see John Goodner).

Ida Robinson Adamson died in San Antonio, Texas, and was interred in Portland, Tennessee, Wilson County. Oscar Adamson, her son, who preceded her in death by a few weeks, was also interred in Portland, Tennessee (see John Goodner).

Martha Goodner York. Subsequent to the completion of the manuscript, some additional information was obtained from census records in Washington, and we now have a list of Martha's children as shown in the 1860 census returns. The name of her husband does not show, indicating that he was deceased by then, and as the year of birth of the last child was 1852, indications are that he died shortly after that year. Living with Martha was her father, John Goodner, w hose age was given as 78. The names of the children as given are as follows: Their place of residence was Bradley County, Tennessee.

Andrew Jackson Goodner. The 1860 census returns shows a daughter living in the household of Andrew Jackson Goodner, whose name we have not had. This daughter, Nancy E., date of birth given as 1855, born between the dates of birth of Sarah and James Gilbert, apparently died young, since there is no account of her (see John Goodner).

Sarah Dianne Warren, daughter of Sarah La Verne Goodner Warren and Thos. Limeul Warren, married Stephen L Bright, Jr, son of Stephen L Bright, Sr, and the late Mrs. Bright. Reverend Samuel D. Goodner, grandfather, and Reverend Frank Witt performed the ceremony at the Kingswood Baptist Church, Chattanooga, Tennessee, 1959 (see John Goodner).

Farris Eugene Goodner was the son of George Goodner and Lillie Leota Mosier of Old James County, now Hamilton County, Tennessee, date of birth being August 12^th, 1908. The birth certificate states that he was the first child of the mother, whose birthplace was Madisonville, Tennessee. The birthplace of George is given as Berchwood, Tennessee, of which the correct spelling is Birchwood. George Goodner and Lillie Leota Mosier were married possibly in 1907, and no doubt in Old James County. Unfortunately all of the Old James County records were destroyed by fire, so no official records are available. There appears to have been only one George Goodner of that generation in Old James County at that time, and he was George Washington Goodner, Jr, (born about 1867; died 9–16–1935, in Chattanooga), a son of George Washington Goodner, Sr, and Jane Cofer. (qv) Farris Eugene Goodner was born in Old James County, now Hamilton County. He died in Chattanooga, Tennessee, 9–19–1958. He was a member of the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, District No. 57, and was a member of the Wilson Street Baptist Church. Interment in Greenwood Cemetery. He resided at 1722 Rubio Street. His mother and a son survived him. He married Beulah Mae Weir (born 9–8–1908, daughter of Charles Weir of Chattanooga). Issue by this marriage:

Martha (Margaret) Ann Logan, wife of James T. Goodner, was a cousin to Berry Edminston, whose mother and Martha's mother were sisters. The name of Martha's mother was Mary Ann Edminston; she married a Logan, who was a cousin. The name of Berry's mother was Martha Edminston; she married James Edminston, a first cousin. This information is from Martha Goodner Logan’s letter of May 16, 1922 to M. P. Goodner. (Godfrey Goodner, Page 324)

The immigrant Gooding of this family was one Major Cornelius Gooding, born in England, and who came to this country after the termination of the Revolutionary War. He first settled in the State of Virginia, and thence moved to Kentucky, where he married Margaret (Peggy) Scott, a daughter of a Mr. Scott and Sarah Jackson Scott, Sarah being traditionally a relative of President Andrew Jackson. They resided for many years in Fleming County, Kentucky, about twelve miles from the present town of Flemingburg, where they reared a family of ten children, as follows:

1 Elizabeth Gooding, born 7–13–1787, Fleming County, Kentucky. Married James Glass.

2 Abraham (“Abram”) Gooding, born 2–14–1789. born in Fleming County, Kentucky. Married and remained in Fleming County, Kentucky.

All of the children, with the exception of Abram, accompanied the father to St. Clair County, Illinois, about the year 1816, his wife Peggy having died in 1808 in Kentucky. Cornelius boarded for a time with Mrs. Ann Rankin Lacey, near Centerville (Millstadt), St. Clair County, Illinois, the widow on Lionel Lacey and the mother of Joshua, who married a daughter of Cornelius. Cornelius taught school near Belleville, and then "entered" land, and the present town of Centerville (Millstadt), or a portion of it, is laid out on the land which was once his farm. The date of his death is not known, but he lies buried in the Old Union Cemetery located on the Millstadt–Belleville Road, about two miles east of Millstadt.

Taken from A Genealogy of the Descendants of Simon Stookey I, Simon Stookey ll, and Daniel Stookey I, In America 1685 to 1936 by Walter C. Stookey from material collected by Charles A. Stookey and Walter C. Stookey.

Simon Stookey I, settled at New Rochelle, New York, northeast of New York City, on Long Island Sound in 1685. This record is taken from the French Huguenots or Hollander's Church records of New Rochelle, New York.

The name is variously spelled, viz: Stukey, Stookey, Stuckey, Stooke, Stuck, Stich, Stick, Stocki, and in Switzerland, Stucki. Of the branch in which we are especially interested, the spelling is Stookey, adopted by Daniel Stookey and his brother, Abraham, who settled in Ross County, Ohio.

Simon Stuckey II, settled in Virginia in 1755, and married Barbara Fox. Their children were as follows:

1 Jacob Stuckey, born 3–4–1761. Settled in Berkeley County, Virginia, now West Virginia.

9 Simon Stuckey, born 1–21–1772. Settled in Bedford County, Pennsylvania.

10 Daniel Stookey, born 3–16–1773. Settled in St. Clair County, Illinois.

Simon Stuckey’s will is on file in Hagerstown, Washington County, Maryland, in Liber A, Page 127. It is drawn up December 26^th, 1785, and recorded February 4^th, 1786. Witnesses to the will were Jacob Sibert, and George Helser (Helson). Final settlement of the estate was made on March 17^th, 1796, total value being 2,233 Pounds, 9 Shillings, and 4 Pence.

Daniel Stookey, son of Simon II, was born near Hagerstown, Maryland, March 16^th, 1773. His wife ,was Barbara Whetstone, whom he married March 16^th, 1797. She was born April 20^th, 1774, in Virginia. Of this union eight sons and two daughters were born, as follows:

Daniel died 9–25–1835, and his wife, Barbara; died 9–23–1849, interment of both being in the Stookey Cemetery on the old Stookey homestead. They made their home in Virginia until 1800, men moved to Ross County, Ohio, where they remained for awhile, and finally moved to St. Clair County, Illinois, settling about two miles west of the present town of Belleville.

Daniel Wesley Stookey (1853–1932). Married Agnes Lee Dunnock (1852–1932)

Mary Caroline Stookey (1856–1944). Married Reverend Edwin B. Randle (1852–1918).

Primm (Prim, Prime, Pryme) Family. Lydia Primm, wife of John Lacey, was born in Stafford County, Virginia, 7–31–1801, one of 17 children of John Prim (1750–1837) and Elizabeth Hansbrough. John Prim was the third son of John Prim, Sr, and Margaret Welch, who were married in Stafford County, Virginia, 9–9–1739. John Prim, Sr, was born in England about 1715, possibly in Hatfield Chase, Yorkshire, the seat of this branch of the Prim family. His father was Abraham de la Pryme, born in Hatfield Chase, and who moved to the Isle of Man in 1725, from whence his son, John, emigrated to the colony of Virginia sometime prior to 1739, residing in Stafford County, Virginia. To John Prim, Sr, and his wife, Margaret Welch, were born five children: William, born 7–28–1740, Ann, born 9–15–1746, John, Jr, born 5–17–1750, Thomas, born 12–13–1751, and James born 1752.

Shortly after the year 1801, John and his family, save William, moved to St. Clair County, Illinois, which was then the Territory of Indiana, where he remained the balance of his life. The History of St. Clair County, Illinois, by Brink McDonough & Company, (1881), states that he first settled in New Design in 1803, and remained there several years before moving to his final home in St. Clair County, a few miles southwest of Belleville. His pension papers give his date of removal from Virginia to Illinois as 1801. He served in the Virginia Militia on tours in the years 1776, 1778, 1779, and 1781, and was present in the Virginia forces at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. He left the service after first guarding the prisoners surrendered in their march to Winchester, Virginia. He received a pension for his services in 1835. He died 3–12–1837, age nearly 87 years; his wife, Elizabeth, had died a few years previous, 10–25–1832. Both were interred on their home place.

The Prim family is of ancient lineage, and is traceable back to the 12^th century, when Alexander de la Pryme, then known as Priem, a gentleman of the town of Ypres, Flanders, now Belgium, was granted a patent of nobility by the Roman Pontiff, Eugene 3^rd, for meritorious service during the Second Crusade. Eugene 3^rd was Pope between the years 1145 and 1153. The Second Crusade was started in 1147 and ended in 1148. The family was one of the foremost families of Ypres and so remained for five or six hundred years. Ypres at that time was a town of 200, 000 population, and was noted chiefly for its lace and fine linen. It has gradually declined in importance and size until in 1904 it had only a population of 17,000. The family was quite wealthy, and were active in the administration of the city, several members of the family having been members of the magistry at one time or another.

Some of the family embraced the reformed religion, and were thereby persecuted. Many of the Protestant inhabitants of Flanders were killed. The persecution by the vengeful Cardinal Richelieu made life so uncertain and untenable that some 80 families fled to England in 1628 and 1629, among which was Charles de la Pryme, whose father, who also accompanied him, was Matthew. They settled in the Levels of Hatfield Chase, which is in the West Riding of Yorkshire, about ten miles from the town of Thorne. This was a low marshy country, but it was drained by the engineer Vermuyden, in which enterprise the Pryme s spent much money. Charles married a widow, Prudence Coquely, by whom he had several children, the sons being, Abraham, Matthias, and David, all of whom are mentioned as legatees in the will of Charles, dated December 27^th, 1669, and proven in court January 10^th, 1670. They Prymes claim to have been the oldest of the Huguenot families in England, and this may be as there is a record of a Margaret Prim, wife of John Prim, (deceased) who was a resident of London in 1618, having then been a resident 31 years, making the date of their immigration to London 1581. She was born in Abassa, Flanders. One branch of the family settled in Norfolk County, and the graveyard of St. Andrews Church contain many members of these old Primes, as this branch spelled their name.

Hansbrough Family: The first of this family who came to America and from whom, Elizabeth, wife of John Primm came, was according to one source, considered the most reliable, to have been a John Hansborough who settled in Virginia in 1640, and traditionally a native of Holland. Other sources believe that the first of the family was Morias Hansburrough shown in the 1704 Quit Rent Rolls of King & Queen Co, Virginia. Elizabeth, according to the best information, was a daughter of Peter Hansbrough and Lydia Smith, both of Stafford County, married in Stafford 5–27–1752. Lydia was a daughter of Henry Smith (born 1712) and Sarah Crosby, she being a daughter of Daniel and a granddaughter of George Crosby.

Lacey Family. This family descends from one of three brothers, William, Thomas, or Nathaniel Lacey, who settled among the French Huguenots in Manikintown in the very early part of the 18^th century. The family is traditionally of French Huguenot stock, of a family that escaped from France during the religious persecutions, either following or preceding the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. They settled in or near Wales, again according to tradition. The name as used in France was "de Lacy". Manikintown was situated in what is now Goochland County. Elliott Lacey ("Lacy") a son of one of the three brothers, was the sire of the Lacey family that settled in St. Clair County, Illinois, about 1809, or so. Elliott was a soldier in the Virginia Militia in the Revolutionary, and lost his life in the service. His oldest son, Elliott, Jr also was in the Virginia Militia and likewise lost his life. Elliott, Sr, married a Miss Brown, of French parentage, and had the following children:

4 Burley Lacey. Married Judith Brown, a first cousin, and a sister to the Miss Brown who married his brother, Kaner. Marriage occurred in Bedford County, Virginia, in 1786. These Brown girls are supposed to have been daughters of Thomas Brown.

5 Linel Lacey. Married Ann Rankin, on French Broad River, Tennessee, about 1789. Their issue:

a John Lacey, (1791–1862). Married Lydia Primm, daughter of John Primm of Virginia. (Their only surviving son married Salinda Goodner, daughter of Benjamin).

b Stephen Lacey (1793–1821). Married Elizabeth Primm (daughter of John Primm).

c Caleb Lacey (1795–[date unknown]). Married Elizabeth Johnston (daughter of John Johnson & Polly Chaffin of Tennessee.)

f James Lacey (1802–1866). Married Nancy Mosby Johnston (daughter of John Johnston & Polly Chaffin of Tennessee).

Ann Rankin, wife of Linel Lacey, was a daughter of Thomas Rankin and Isabella Clendenin. Thomas Rankin was a native of Pennsylvania who had removed to Tennessee. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary forces. Pennsylvania Line. Isabella was a daughter of John Clendenin (1704–1797), and Janet Huston. Isabella 's brother, John, married Elizabeth Caldwell, a sister of Martha who married Patrick Calhoun and became parents of the famous statesman, John C. Calhoun. Janet Huston, traditionally, was of the same family as Samuel Houston of Texas fame. Linel and Ann remained in Tennessee several years, and then just prior to 1800 moved to Livingston County, Kentucky, remaining there until about 1808 or 1809, when he removed to St. Clair County, Illinois. His brothers, Nathaniel, Kaner, and Burley had been living in Livingston County, Kentucky, previous to Linel going there. They too moved to Illinois, but resided in Wayne, Gallatin, and Hardin Counties.

BoIlman Family: The earliest known progenitor of this Bollman family was one Henry Bollman, born 2–16–1823 in the "old country,” presumably Alsace–Lorraine. He was German. He married in Alsace–Lorraine Marie H. Grave, born 10–7–1832; died 6–10–1915, St. Louis, Missouri, daughter of one Grave' and Bertha Hepke Tietzel, who was born in 1813 in Alsace–Lorraine, and died in St. Louis in 1899, interment in Bellefontaine Cemetery. The Grave' family was of French extraction. Henry Bollman died in St. Louis 12–27–1890, interment in Bollman Lot in Bellefontaine Cemetery. Mr. Bollman was a fine musician and composer and wrote many beautiful hymns for the Catholic Church, although he himself was Lutheran. Henry Bollman and wife came to this country sometime before 1851 and settled in Bardstown, Kentucky, where his children were born. He therefore remained there for several years, removing to St. Louis some time after the termination of the Civil War. Marie H, his wife; died 6–10–1915, interment in Bellefontaine Cemetery, in Bollman lot. Besides being a composer of classical music and an organist, Mr. Bollman was proficient in the violin, and played in the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and became a concert guitarist. He established the Bollman Music Company, which later became the Bollman Brothers Piano Company. They had the following children:

1 Oscar Henry Bollman, born 11–13–1851, Bardstown, Kentucky. Married Pauline Schuler.

2 Bertha G. Bollman, born 1855, Bardstown, Kentucky. Married William Bollman. No relation.

All remained in St. Louis with the exception of Bertha, who moved to the eastern part of the country sometime after her marriage. Later in life Otto Bollman removed to California, making his home in Los Angeles.

Schuler Family: John Jacob Schuler, the earliest known member of the family, was born in Zweibrucken, Germany, 7–17–1820. He married Anna Maria Pale, born 1–1–1827, Ichelheim, Germany; died St. Louis 4–21–1908. John Jacob emigrated to the United States sometime prior to the Civil War, with brothers David and Arnold, coming in a sailing vessel which took 103 days to cross. They lived for a while in Philadelphia, then moved to St. Louis where they lived for a time, then moved to Belleville, Illinois, and then back to St. Louis. He died 1–6–1896. John Jacob and Anna Maria had a large family as follows:

4 Lena Louise Schuler, born 1–4–1862, St. Louis, Missouri. Married Henry Burg.

She took up singing at the age of 14, and made her first public appearance when she sang the "Messiah.” She studied under Madam Emeline Petipa, who had come from Paris. She sang in the St. Louis Symphony, Saengerfest, and the Liederkranz Club, and prior to her death she had sung in the choir of the Second Baptist Church in St. Louis for 25 years. She married Oscar H. Bollman at the age of 23 years. Died suddenly 11–23–1924, shortly after arriving home from church service. Her husband died a few years later in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and was interred there, but she was buried in the Bollman lot in the Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis.

Livesay. (Material received too late to be included in the main manuscript.)

Joseph Paul Livesay, was married first to Louise Marie Hobart, 6–19–1915, at Palo Alto, California. She was born 3–31–1895, daughter of Senator and Mrs. Alva C. Hobart. They were divorced after having one child. Married secondly Emma Launa Hawkins 4–16–1929, at Fairmont, West Virginia.

Marjorie married secondly, William Albert Tuxford. They were divorced, and she married thirdly, Ronnie H. Goracke. Marjorie was Secretary of History and a Faculty Member of Stanford University, Palo Alto, California.

Lafayette McPherson Livesay married and has two sons, Robert Livesay of Martinez, California, and Jim Livesay of Oroville, California.

"The Livesay family is of English origin, spelled both Livesay and Livesey. A member of this family, Sir Michael Livesay of London, was one of the signers of the death warrant of Charles the First. Livesays resided in London and Kent, also at Stawton Hall, Lincoln County. at which place they were called Livesay of Livesay. Livesay is the name of a township in the parish of Blackburn, Lancaster County, England, where the family name appear to have originated. Livesays emigrated to America some time during the 18th century, and located in Virginia near the North Carolina line. A coat of arms was granted to the Livesay or Livesey family of Lancaster, England, in 1664, which was : Arms–Urgent. a lion rampant, guls between three trefoils slipped verticle. Crest–a lion's Gamb erased gules and translated from the heraldic language this coat armour is Silver–Urgent, Red Gules, Green Vert, symbolism of colors, sincerity, deathless courage, hope and loyalty.” (Milton P. Goodner) Jos. Paul Livesay writes that his forebears came to this country in 1627.

Louis Hoffmeister was born in Germany, December 29^th, 1863, and died in Rifle, Colorado, in 1942. He married Lillie Miller in 1893; she was born 1870 and died in 1941, apparently in Rifle, Colorado. She was a daughter of Christopher C. Miller, born in Germany in 1840 and who died apparently in Rifle, Colorado, in 1911. He had married Minnie Amdt, born in Germany in 1852, and died in Rifle, Colorado, in 1920. Before moving to Rifle they had been residents of Central City, Colorado.

Elizabeth Jane Logan was born in Clark County, Arkansas, in 1836, and died in Oden, Arkansas, 9–15–1877. She was the daughter of William Logan and Eliza Denton, a widow whose maiden name was Wingfield. William Logan was born in Missouri 8–4–1807, and died 5–5–1838. He married Mrs. Eliza Denton, 1–30–1831, in Arkansas, and they resided in Clark County, Arkansas. Eliza was born about 1809 in Tennessee, and died after 1870 in Montgomery County, Arkansas, Pages 90–99

The Wilhite Family: From information submitted by Elmer L. Goodner of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, from data which apparently was gathered by W. L. Wilhite in 1945, the following is submitted:

George Wilhite was probably the son of Julius and Margaret Wilhite, nee Rise, and was born about 1790, possibly in Greene County, Tennessee. He married twice, the name of his first wife being unknown. His second marriage was to Nancy Guinn, October 24^th, 1822, in Knox County, Tennessee. Nancy was born in 1794; her parentage was not given. George Wilhite probably migrated to Morgan County, Alabama, with his brothers, John and Ezekiel, about 1816 to 1818, or possibly somewhat later. Records in Morgan County in 1823 show that such a man was road supervisor there at the time. Later he moved to Tippah County, Mississippi, and was in Marion County, Tennessee, in 1830. He died in Tippah County, Mississippi, 1854 to 1856, and was interred in the Providence Cemetery near Tiplersville, Mississippi. The following issue is gathered from census reports and other sources and are not guaranteed, but which is constructed with due diligence and to the best of subject's ability.

1 Julius WiIhite, born 1818, Marion County (?), Tennessee. Married about 1836, in Tippah County, Mississippi, Miss Mary Friar, born 1822, Bedford County, Tennessee.

2 John Calvin WiIhite, born 1822. Married about 1842, Tippah County, Mississippi, Nancy Fryar, born 1824, Bedford County, Tennessee.

3 Daniel WiIhite, born 1824. Married 1^st Rosanna [name unknown]. Married 2^nd Mary Ann Smallwood, born 1826.

6 William H. WiIhite, born about 1826, Morgan County, Alabama. Married Mary S. Jones.

Monroe Goodner. Because of lack of information, it has not been possible to identify this family in relation to any of the known Goodner branches. Mr. Edward T. Goodner, son of Monroe, was unable to give me the name of his grandfather. It is my personal opinion that it derives from either one of the two sons of Mary and Peter (?) Goodner, namely Henry or Jacob. The following is the only data known.

A Goodner whose given name is not known, resided in Virginia. and moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The name of his wife is not known. He had three children: Monroe, Emma and Mary (Mollie) all of whom resided at one time in Pittsburgh. Their issue is as follows:

1 Monroe Goodner, born about 1875. Married Mary Lally. Moved from Virginia to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he supposedly died.

2a Clifford R. Goodner. Resides 20871 Norwood, Harper Woods, Detroit, Michigan.

B Edward T. Goodner, born 11–26–1900. Inspector for City of Cincinnati, Ohio. Residence: RR One, Box 18, Hamersville, Ohio.

2 Emma Goodner. Deceased. Married John Sexton. Resided Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 1914. Married in Pittsburgh in 1914.

3 Mary ("Mollie") Goodner. Deceased. Married Mr. Burke. Resided in Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania.

A Thomas Burke. Resided in Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania, in the Hazelwood Section. Unable to locate.

Isaac Jackson conveyed to Thomas Jackson on September 8^th, 1755, 350 acres of land for 10 Pounds current money of Virginia, being the same tract of land that Isaac Jackson received from Rt. Hon. John Gant Granville. In this deed, Isaac is listed as a farmer (Book 1. Page 120). Witnesses to the deed were Benjamin Jackson and James Jackson.

May 28th. 1798. William Jackson, Jr, by Sheriff, conveyed to James Jackson, 94 acres of land on the south side of Forsters' Creek, adjoining lands of James Jackson, Jonathan Nichols, Sr, and William Jackson, Sr. Andrew Murdock was Sheriff. (Book 7. Page 91)

In the 1755 Tax List of Orange County, North Carolina, the following Jackson's were shown:

From the fact that two of the above show only two people in the family, and two only show one, we gather that they were young. two recently married and two single. There were DO Goodners shown in this list. The following notation was made on the returns: "The number of souls is about 1113, 983 being white and 130 Negroes. Think about 30 soles concealed themselves, and about 20 whose names appear twice.”

Names other than Jackson are given because of the ties these families had with the Scherrers and Goodners.

On May 24, 1813, James Jackson, Sr, conveyed to James Jackson, Jr, a tract of land. (Book 14, Page 485). This deed was made after William Jackson, and wife Catherine Goodner, had removed from North Carolina, and the transaction is given merely as a matter of information to indicate that James Jackson, Sr, father of a "William Jackson,” remained in Orange County, and apparently passed the remainder of his days there. This is probably the same James Jackson, who died in 1822 and whose will was probated that year, giving the following divisees:

Isaac Jackson died in 1820, and his will probated in August, 1820. Book D, Page 58. The divisees were:

In 1814, another Isaac Jackson died. Will was probated November, 1814. Book D, Page 412. Divisees were:

Levi Jackson	Netty Williams
Jacob Jackson	Elizabeth Cain
Benoni Jackson	Mary Thompson
James Jackson	Elizabeth Randles

In the North Carolina Gazette, dated Thursday, February 16^th, 1786, Hillsboro, the following notice appeared:

"The subscriber hereby requests that all those who are indebted to him in accounts for the past year to come and make immediate payment, as no further indulgence will be given.

George Jackson and Sarah Barker. April 6^th, 1772. Surety: John Barker. Witness: Tilman Dixon.

In a suit filed by William Jackson vs. William Hall, in November Court 1785, the jury found for the Plaintiff.

Records shown in the Minutes of the May Court 1782 show that William Jackson was appointed Constable in Mr. Brown 's District.

In February 1789 Court, Andrew Jackson proved a deed from Isaac Maxwell to William Jackson for 220 acres of land.(p. 31 of Minute Book No. 2). On Page 32, of the same book, Matthew Maroney proved a deed from William Jackson to Andrew Jackson for 220 acres of land.

Peter Jackson bought from Samuel Job 87 acres on Kindrick Creek, date of October 25, 1786. Recorded September 11, 1789 (Book 1, Page 297).

Peter Jackson received a land grant from the State of North Carolina for 75 acres on Kindrick's Creek, June 27, 1793, recorded June 24^th, 1794 (Book 2, Page 671).

William Jackson bought from Jacob Job 75 acres on Kindrick's Creek, deed dated August 15^th, 1800, recorded June 24^th, 1801 Book 3, Page 384. (I was unable to find any sale of this property by William up to the year 1825, at which time William Jackson, husband of Catherine, was living in Illinois. Thus this William may or may not be the same as Catherine's husband.)

Robert Jackson received a land grant from the State of North Carolina for 50 acres, date of June 27^th, 1793, recorded November 22^nd, 1803 (Book 4, Page 533).

Thomas Jackson bought from Henry Feltner 110 acres, deed dated August 29^th, 1810, recorded November 29^th, 181 (Book 6, P.104).

Gallatin County, Illinois. Records of Marriages taken from "Marriage Licenses Issued in Gallatin County, Illinois, From 1813 through 1838", by Lucy Bender.

Wood Family: The Wood family were from Georgia. I quote from Recollections of Jefferson County and It's People, by Adam Clark Johnson, a series of articles published in tile Mount Vernon Star, 1858 to 1865, which clippings were preserved by the family of Amos Thompson Lacey and lately presented to the Mt. Vernon Public library.

At a very early date, John and George Jackson came up from Pope County, 15 miles above Golconda, and settled at tile north end of West long Prairie. They soon became dissatisfied and went back, but not before John's brother–in–law, Alfred Woods and Alfred's father, William Woods, had come up about 1821.

William Woods, or "Roaring Billy,” was originally from Georgia, but had settled on the Ohio River near Elizabethtown. His wife had been a widow Hawkins, and had two Hawkins children, Henry and Harvey, I think, and a daughter, Mrs. Bobo on Red River not far from the Tennessee and Kentucky line. Wood left two children on tile Ohio, Hal, who married a O'Malveny, and Judy, who had married Lorril or Laurel Harrison. "Roaring Billy" got his name from his peculiar manner of halloing when intoxicated. He died in 1825, and his remains rest at Old Union. He was a man of a great deal of natural dignity, and a share of what is now known as gas. Besides the children already mentioned he left two sons Alfred and Anderson. Alfred married a Jackson. His mother–in–law, Mrs. Jane Jackson (Mary's mother), after her first husband's death, married the then somewhat noted Dr. Chipps.”

Anderson Wood married Martha, daughter of Jacob Norton. Jacob vetoed but they were unanimous and the bill passed over his veto, as usual. Martha was at the gap, milking the cows: Anderson rode up, Martha jumped up behind him, and away they went. When Norton moved away, not a great while after, Woods went with him, but in a few years returned, and in 1836 was a candidate for the legislature. He died the same year as Ab Estes, south side of the public square–taken sick suddenly while in town and dying in less than 24 hours. Norton came and took W's family to tile "Hatchie" in southwest Tennessee. (When Norton left Alfred Wood bought his place)".

In Perrins History it states that "In the Spring of 1824, the wife of Felix McBride was buried at Union Cemetery, close beside the grave of "Roarin Billy" Wood (p. 291), and also stated that he came to the County of Jefferson about 1819, and raised a large family. (p. 346). The dates given do not correspond with those given in the article by Johnson.

"Roaring Billy Wood, while in Jefferson County, Illinois, had a stable of quarter horses, and he had Thomas Lacey ride them in the "Muster Day" meets. This Thomas Lacey was a son of Linel and Ann Rankin Lacey, who had lived for a while on the Red River in Tennessee, from whence the Widow Hawkins came, and it is barely possible that the Hawkins and Lacey families were acquainted before they came to Illinois.”

In addition to those already mentioned elsewhere, there are some Goodners whose names we find in various records, whose exact relationship with known lines have not been definitely established. There is no question about a relationship existing; the difficulty being that some lines are incomplete.

In the official census records of Vermilion County, Illinois, we find the following whom we cannot place:

John Goodner. Census 1860, age 40 (born 1820). Birthplace Indiana. Having real property in the amount of $58,000.00 and personal property of $9,000.00, living in Blount Township. Listed in his household were:

Elisher Goodner. Census 1860, age 34 (born 1836). Birthplace Illinois. Lived in Blount Township. In his household were the following:

This family is shown in the 1870 census of Vermilion with Polly A. as head of the household. indicating that the father, Elisher; died between the dates on which the two censuses were taken. Mrs. Huldah Finley in her chart show Elisher to be the son of Joel Goodner, but this does not correspond with known sons of Joel. Therefore the matter is unsettled.

Simon Goodner. Census 1860, age 50 (born 1810), birthplace Ohio, living in Middlefork. In his household are listed:

Long–Taggert–Slaymaker. John A. Long, father of Minnie Long Lacey, was born in Frederick County, Maryland, 11–10–1825, and died in Clark County, Ohio, 7–2–1904, interment in the New Carlisle Cemetery, New Carlisle, Ohio. He followed farming all his life. He married in either Frederick or Washington County, Maryland, Susannah Taggart, 12–16–1847. They had ten children of whom Minnie was the youngest. John was a son of George Long and Elizabeth Hawver (Hauver) of Frederick and Washington County, Maryland. George was a shoemaker by trade, and was a veteran of the War of 1812, for which service he received a pension. George Long was born in Frederick County, Maryland, 4–4–1796. His parentage has not been definitely established at this writing. He died in Smithsburg, Washington County, Maryland, 2–10–1888, lacking two months of being 92 years of age. He was interred in the Smithsburg Cemetery, Smithsburg, Maryland. Elizabeth, his wife, born 10–27 or 28–1795, was a daughter of George Hauver, Sr, of Frederick County, Maryland. She married George Long, 11–22–1817, Frederick County, Maryland. She died 11–3–1851, Smithsburg, Maryland, and was interred in the Lutheran Church Cemetery there. George Hauver, Sr was a great grandson of Christian Hawver (Hauver) the original immigrant. Both the Longs and Hawvers were of German stock.

Jesse Taggart, the father of Susannah Taggart, wife of John A. Long, was born in Pennsylvania in 1785. He died in Washington County, Maryland, between the years 1850 and 1860, as did his wife, who was the former Susannah Slaymaker of Frederick County, Maryland. Susannah was born in 1792, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, a daughter of William Slaymaker, born Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, about 1764, and his first cousin, Agilis Slaymaker.

William Slaymaker was a son of John Slaymaker (1733–1796) and Elizabeth White (died 1803) of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He served as waggoner in the ill fated Braddock Campaign in the French and Indian War, and was also a soldier in the Revolutionary War. In 1776 he marched at the head of a company to Bergen, New Jersey, and took part in the skirmish of Chestnut Hill under General Bull when Bull was taken prisoner. In 1777 he was in Capt. John Boyd's Battalion of Lancaster County Militia.

John Slaymaker was the third son of Matthias Slaymaker (Schleiermacher), who was born in Hesse Castle, Germany, and emigrated to America in 1710, settling in Lancaster County on a tract of 1000 acres, which he purchased from the London Company. He married in Germany Catherine [name unknown], and had five sons and two daughters. He died in 1762 at an advanced age and was buried in the old Leacock Cemetery at the Leacock Presbyterian Church near the city of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the burial site of many of the family. The date of birth of Matthias is estimated at about 1685.

Agilis Slaymaker, wife of William Slaymaker and mother of Susannah Taggart, was a daughter of Daniel Slaymaker (died 1801) of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and his wife, Agilis Young. Daniel was also in the Braddock Campaign, with his brother John, and was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, serving in the Lancaster County Militia. He married Agilis Young, whose parents came from North Ireland and settled in the Cumberland Valley near Shippensburg. During an Indian uprising the families fled for their lives, and her parents moved to Lancaster County. John and Daniel, together with their wives, lie buried in the Leacock Cemetery at the Leacock Presbyterian Church near Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Bopp–Linss. Edward W. Bopp, born 1–28–1878, Baldwin, Missouri, one of nine children of Henry Bopp and Marie Louise Kessler of St. Louis, Missouri, died Webster Groves, Missouri, 1950–1955. Son of Sebastian Bopp and Mary Milt, immigrants from Darmstadt, Germany. Sebastian Bopp settled in Bonhomme Twp, St. Louis County, acquiring 160 acres of land which he farmed until 1876, when he sold it and purchased the old Kessler farm of 150 acres near Baldwin, Missouri. Religion, Methodist. Henry Bopp entered 100 acres of land, property of his wife, gradually increasing his holdings to 500 acres, all of which he sold in 1916 to the Calla Lilly Dairy. Henry Married Mary Louise Kessler 1–3–1871 (died 9–22–1902; daughter of Louis Kessler). Henry later–6–23–1907– Married Mrs. F. M. Turley, nee Mary Lincoln Lane, daughter of Colonel G. M. Lane, formerly a U. S. Marshall and a member of the Legislature. The Lanes came from Ohio in 1873, and Mary had 3 children by Mr. Turley. Edward W. Bopp married Lyda Linss, 11–26–1902, St. Louis County, Missouri. She was one of nine children of Oscar Linss and Olive Andrea, died 1959 at home of daughter, Mrs. Ollie Lacey in Webster Groves, Missouri. Oscar Linss was born in Augusta, Missouri. Olive Andrea was daughter of Frederick Andrae (interred Boxley Cemetery near Gumbo, Missouri), and granddaughter of Cornelius Andrae (interred Bonhomme Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Bonhomme Twp, St. Louis County, Missouri).

Miller–Brady. Marguerite Houston Miller was one of nine children of Henry Miller and Margaret Brady. Henry Miller, born 1864, Hannibal, Missouri, son of Phil Miller, street commissioner, and immigrant, with his wife, from Switzerland. Henry's start in life was humble, starting at 15 as a boilermaker's apprentice in the old Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad. His progress was rapid, and after holding various jobs, with various roads he became general superintendent of the Burlington lines, later Vice–President and General Manager of the Wabash Railroad. In 1917, he was appointed by President Wilson as Vice–Chairman of the Stevens Commission to rehabilitate the Russian Railroads, at which time he was still with the Wabash. In 1920, he became President of the Terminal Railroad Association in St. Louis, which position he held until retirement. He died 4–22–1956, age 93 years, interment in Calvary Cemetery Mausoleum, St. Louis. His wife. Margaret Brady (born 7–7–1864, Hannibal, Missouri; died 1937, St. Louis) was the 4^th child of Patrick Brady and Mary Dolan, both of the Catholic faith. Patrick was born in 1830 in County Longford, Leinster, Ireland, and emigrated to this country in 1856, settling in Chicago, Illinois. Mary Dolan, born about 1828 in County Anitrim, Connaugh, Ireland, came to this country ostensibly with her parents, in 1846. She and Patrick were married in Chicago in 1857, and shortly thereafter moved to Hannibal, Missouri. Patrick died in 1880, and Mary in 1900, in Hannibal, where they were interred.

This history would not be complete if mention is not made of the "Goodner estate." It seems that almost every time in the Goodner clan has heard at one time or another something about an "estate, “ or inheritance, and the subject has had, and still does, some appealing and fascinating facets, although to be realistic we must recognize that we are far too far removed from the time and place to profit from pursuing it, except insofar as to what information might be revealed on the family.

The tradition of an "estate" has been at times quite strong in all of the various lines, with the possible exception of that of Henry. Among the descendants of Jacob, Walter, and Elizabeth, all children of "Peter" and Mary Goodner. and among those of Conrad, the matter has flared up at various times in past years. Of what the “estate" consisted, the tradition varied between the descendants of the various family branches.

In the case of the descendants of Walter, Jacob, and Elizabeth, it consisted of water frontage (5000 acres according to one statement), leased for 99 years to the predecessors of the North German Lloyd Steamship Co, and which was used for wharf purposes. Some held to the belief that the lands were located in New York State, and some believed the lands were in Germany, the latter belief seemingly having the greater credence. In the Conrad Goodner line, the estate was thought to consist of farming and forest lands. The name Goodner in German was spelled "Gűttener", according to records in Conrad's Bible (see Conrad’s "Pension Papers"), and has been interpreted as meaning "the owner of an estate.”

It was reported that as early as the year 1870 or so there appeared an advertisement, or notice in some German language newspapers, as well as some in the English language, seeking Goodner heirs. Hugh C. Goodner stated that stated that such a notice appeared in a Belleville, Illinois, German language paper. And it was also stated that in the October 19^th 1890, issue of the Cincinnati Volks Blatt, a German language newspaper, an item appeared as follows:

"To legal heirs of the late Jacob Goodner whose lease expired with W. H. Boock, 1885. Said heirs may file their claims with Hall Page & Co, Counselors in Charge, New York, Newark.”

These old Volks Blatt Papers are still in the files of the Cincinnati Public Library, fragile with deterioration; they must be handled with great care. I made a careful search for this notice on two occasions. but was unable to locate it. To be sure my knowledge of the German language is very limited but I felt that I would be able to recognize it through the names mentioned. These old papers possessed no classified format as exists in the newspapers today, and the notice could have appeared anywhere else, necessitating a line by line search on every page.

Dr. George W. Goodner, a Conrad descendant, went to Germany during the Franco–Prussian War (1870–1875) to study sanitary conditions in the army, and he was requested while there to investigate the estate story. He was told in Germany that after 100 years estates–unsettled estates, I suppose–reverted back to the Government and were placed in an "Education Fund." This caused him to lose interest and he pursued the matter no further. Evidently he was unaware of the possible existence of a long term lease and was thinking only of a landed estate.

The story of the lease as I have it is that it was entered into in 1801, either by Jacob Goodner or by George Swisher, who at the time was husband of Jacob's sister, Elizabeth. Some have it that it was a Michael Goodner who executed the lease. If the lease expired in 1885, as supposedly dated in the item in the Volks Blatt paper, then it would have made the date of execution in the year 1795, at which time Jacob was not of legal age. It was reported that the lease was in the possession of William Hathaway, a descendant of Elizabeth, and that it became lost when his home was destroyed by fire. It is strange indeed that a paper as highly valuable as this one was reported to have been, involving "millions," should not have been kept in a safety vault An attorney, G. F. Daniels of Minneapolis, was in 1927 very much interested in pursuing the matter, and wanted, I have been informed, $150.00 from each family to cover fees and expenses of a trip to Germany. Perhaps the size of the of the fee offered plus a paid expense trip to Germany was the principle thing in which he was interested. In the course of his work, Mr. Daniels stated that his office was broken into and valuable papers pertaining to the investigation had been stolen.

In reply to a series of questions asked by the attorney, Mr. Daniels, Ike Swisher replied as follows:

In response to your letter of the 26^th in regard to the above matter, will answer your questions consecutively as follows:

1 I am informed and believe that there is an estate in Germany in which I and other heirs have an interest, by statements made by my Grandmother and Grandfather in regard to same, further by representations and conversations with Attorneys in New York City. Further, William Hathaway, who is a grandson of the above deceased, informs me that his Grandparents told him of land being located in Germany which would sometime come to the heirs.

2 This estate consists of land, and upon information and belief, will state that it is used for dock purposes by the Lloyd Steamship Company.

3 I have no direct knowledge of the value of said property, only that it has been stated to me by Attorneys from New York that it was worth from forty to sixty million dollars.

4 I am sure I am one of the rightful heirs of the above deceased, as I have traced my ancestry to them; further William Hathaway, who has personal knowledge of his Grandparents, is a cousin to me.

5 I know that this property was leased to the Lloyd Steamship Company, through information obtained from said William Hathaway, who resides here, and whose Grandparents told him of the lease to said company.

9 I do not know whether or not the wife of George Swisher was related to Jacob and Walter Goodner.

11 I have no absolute proof that this estate is in Germany and no proof of its value except as stated above.

12 I cannot furnish an affidavit that the property is there except insofar as I would state on information and belief that it is there.

13 There are four of us here who will sign affidavit to the effect that on information and belief there is property for the heirs of the above deceased.

Although a considerable amount of time was spent on the matter, especially by Mrs. Hulda Finley of Grand Blanc, Michigan, nothing was ever accomplished in the way of tangible results. Interest gradually waned, and there the matter now stands. I never heard mentioned the name of the law firm, or attorneys, whom Mr. Swisher mentions in his letter. My personal knowledge of the matter dates several years later than the year 1927, after interest had greatly subsided.

With no proof of the lease, nothing in the way of evidence, with no knowledge by the family of the names of the principals involved or of the exact location of the property and with no clear ancestral record of descent from the supposed Goodner forebear who executed the document, and with no concerted and determined effort to push the claims of the heirs, the attorneys for the lessee probably arrived at the conclusion that the heirs could not prove their claim in court and that the lessee had nothing to worry about, having conformed to the law requiring proper advertisements in the newspapers. Now with the various changes of government in Germany, their various wars, the devaluation and remonetization of the currency, and taxes, the possibilities of realizing anything money–wise, even in pursuing the matter with the most gifted and influential counsel, is in my opinion non–existent.

As to the tradition in the Conrad Goodner line, I can only say that it is a tradition in the strictest sense. Not one stitch of evidence, not one fact, not even a clue can be found.

In spite of these things, or because of them, there will always be a mixed feeling of curiosity and credulity about the "estate" a speculation as to it's actual existence, and along with it similar curiosity and speculation as to the unsolved identity of the Continental Goodner family.
