Generation 11

Generation 11 - have completely lost the trail of Butlers and Fitzgeralds.  It's possible that this is the generation of immigration or just poor families not captured by the existing records. Also, Butlers and Fitzgeralds/Fitzgarrels are quite common in many locations, so it's more difficult to trace our lines. 

Lathrops and allied families are in Massachusetts and Connecticut and we've reached the New England immigrant generation. The Doves are now represented by Beasley, Overall, Jones, Denton, Thornes & O'Dell families in Virginia and New York.

Ahnentafel - Generation 6

This is the last generation where everyone is present and accounted for.  There are German immigrants, people born in Vermont, Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio and New Jersey.  While everyone is on the move westward, 23 of the 32 make it into Illinois and a 8 into Wayne County.  Some overshoot Illinois ending up in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. The generation spans 137 years from 1788 to 1925.

Average age at death is 71 years & 2 months, pretty impressive for the time span.  It comes out to 71.2 years for dad's line and 76.1 years for mom's side. 

The generation spans 137 years from 1820 to 1957.

• 1831 McCormick Reaper invented

Ahnentafel - Generation 4

Everyone in generation 4 is present and accounted for.  All were born in Illinois and made their way to  Wayne County, Illinois.  These are the 8 main lines for this genealogy blog.  There are English, Scottish, Germans and probably Irish represented here. Longevity is fairly represented here as most everyone made it to 70 and four were over 80 when they died. Averages out to 80 1/2 years for dad's side and 71 1/4 years for mom's side.

This generation spans the years 1859 to 1982:

Buried: unknown

Married: 1) Dec. 4, 1729 Joseph Ogle in New Castle, Delaware & 2) Adam Henry ca. 1757 in Frederick Co., Maryland

Biography:

Rocky Ridge - A small but significant settlement near today's Rocky Ridge opened the way for development of the section of northern Frederick County extending west from Miller's Bridge to Loys Station. The area was near the German Monocacy Road as well as Cartledge's Old Road so that travelers from Pennsylvania bound for Virginia or for Jonathan Hager's place in today's Washington County often encountered here the sole habitation for miles around. The two earliest settlers, Joseph Ogle and Henry Munday, were of English descent, but were born in this country. Both had experienced the rigors of the Conojohelar border "war" and, like Reisner, Bankauf and some of the others, had then sought more peaceful surroundings in the Monocacy area. Both were looked to as leaders. And both eventually had extensive landholdings in the Monocacy area.

Notebooks - Kentucky #7

Brookes-Smith Joan. Index for Old Kentucky Surveys & Grants, no imprint, ca. 1974

It was on 16 June, 1774, when James Harrod and his party of pioneer settlers reached the plateau between the Salt and Kentucky Rivers in the heart of a land that would one day be called Kentucky. Physically exhausted from their long trip down the Ohio and up the Kentucky River and fearful of the ever present danger from roving bands of Indians, they gave no thought to the restless discontent of their counterparts who lived along the Eastern seaboard. Uppermost in their minds was survival.

Acutely aware that they had penetrated deep within enemy territory, they immediately set about laying out Harrod's Town. . . . 

They were followed shortly by Daniel Boone, Benjamin Logan, John Floyd, Simon Kenton and numerous other pioneer leaders. Their greatest enemy, or so they believed was the Indian. They could not have known that Fate was already laying the groundwork that would lead the Eastern seaboard revolutionary and the Western pioneer to a common goal, a goal to establish a permanent home which was destined to erupt into a long and vicious legal war. 

Unfortunately, many of the earliest settlers believing that just to settle the land was all that was necessary for ownership delayed too long the registration of their surveys and claims. Apparently

Cook, Bettie, ed. Genealogy Newspaper Columns of Robert E. Turman, Evansville, IN: Tri-State Genealogical Society, 1981

Cornwell Connections - The story about "why a mountain climber likes to scale the highest peak" is becoming well known. When one of the explorers of a recent expedition attempting to reach the summit of Mount Everest was asked "Why?", the mountain climber looked incredulously at his questioner and replied: "Because it is THERE!" 

Many genealogy researchers could well give that same answer to those who ask such questions as "Why do you like to delve so much into the past? What good does it do you to find out who your great-great-great-grandparents were, etc.? Why do you want to learn the history of generations long past?" 

The same answer as the mountain climber gave can often be given - "Because it is THERE!"

This answer would not always apply, of course. If a person's immediate grandparents happened to come to the United States from some European or other foreign country, perhaps 100 years ago or so, there sometimes would be nothing more you could learn about them in America than their birth and death dates, and something of their life story in this country. In that case, if you sought any information beyond the generation of your two grandfathers, you would have to go abroad, or

Notes: 

The name in Irish records is Dinnen. Name in England is Dennen. 

People on Ancestry are saying this is William Dennen married to Marie Barbary or Barbara, the source they are using is a Civil War pension file from Maine.  There's no evidence that our Dennen's lived in Maine and certainly none that a Quaker would have participated in the Civil War. If the Dennen's in Ireland were Quakers.  

Perhaps they were from somewhere other than Ireland.

Buried: unknown

Married: 1) Michael Goodnight, Feb. 19, 1762 in Virginia or North Carolina
2) (--?--) Flanigan ca. 1787 in Kentucky

Biography:
The date that Michael Goodnight and his family first set foot in Mecklenburg County, Province of North Carolina is not known, but we do know that he was there on May 3, 1764, because on that date, he and his father-in-law Christopher Landys, purchased 190 acres for 65 pounds from James and Ruth McClain. The location was described as being on Three Mile Creek, being a branch of the Rocky River. Mecklenburg County was then two years old, having been cut off from Anson County in 1762. As was often the case, the deed was not recorded until the property was sold. Then, this deed was proved in the October term of Court 1774 by Martin Phifer, Esq. a subscribing witness thereto. 

For years, we searched and searched trying to identify the parents of Mary Landers/Landis
