“The papers of one of Montana’s most preeminent educators, the late S. Rae Logan, have been donated to the University of Montana Library Archives by his widow, Frances. Dale L. Johnson, UM Library archivist, said Logan’s involvement in Montana schools and politics spans more than six decades, from 1913 to the time of his death in 1970. A 1908 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Logan served as water commissioner of Stevensville for a year before taking up ranching in Arlee in 1910. Three years later he became superintendent of schools in Missoula County District 28. For the next 33 years he held superintendent posts in Missoula County, Bighorn County and Winnetka, Ill. Johnson said the school system in Winnetka was the only one of its kind to run completely on the ‘John Dewey system’ of learning by doing. Johnson said the six linear feet of donated material includes Logan’s correspondence, articles that he authored and research papers. — “Educators’ Papers Donated to Library,” Missoulian, unknown date.

“That modern design is not confined entirely to steel, concrete, and other fireproof materials is shown in the above eight room wooden residence just completed for Mr. and Mrs. S.R. Logan on Willow road, west of Winnetka, in the Skokie valley. This is of ordinary construction, with exterior siding of boards, painted white. Its flat roof horizontal lines, upstairs living porch, and the general functional character of its design, however, are distinctly modern. The house was built by the Edward A. Anderson company of Winnetka. Howard T. Fisher, president and chief architect of General Houses, Inc., designed it, with Albert Smith Bigelow and Philip Will Jr., associated. It is a product of the General Houses custom design department.” — “Erect Modern Wooden House in Skokie Valley,” Chicago Sunday Tribune, July 15, 1943 [“Northfield house of Rae and Frances Logan” — Note from Eileen Dickson Logan Hodges]

“George Miller, one of the youngest of the family, educated himself and was the first school teacher in Dallas County after the state granted money for schools. He also became the first superintendent of schools in the county. Amanda Beckner, Sarah Ann’s oldest daughter, went to school to him for about seven years until she was fourteen years of age. Reading, writing, arithmetic, and spelling were the subjects taught. The earliest schools lasted three months a year.” — From “The Beckner – Miller Family History” Compiled by Helen Gibson

During General Price’s raid, which occurred soon after the Battle of Wilson Creek, a group of about 300 soldiers, who had been visiting relatives in the North, were returning south to join the main army. This company of soldiers were gathering all the horses they could lead; they had robbed stores and had burned the Buffalo Court House. One evening the Beckners saw this group approaching their home. Each soldier was leading at least two horses, and on their backs were strapped everything from water pails to bolts of calico and women’s hoops flopping.

As they drew up to the house they said they were hunting for the men who burned the court house at Buffalo – thus trying to get on the good side of the family by pretending they belonged to the Union. John, who was about fourteen years old, was so glad to hear they were Union soldiers (supposedly) replied, “I’ve got a carbine (small gun) some of the Union soldiers gave me.” They grabbed it and said, “You are my prisoner now; give it to me.” As they were grabbing at him his mother said, “Let him alone – he’s too young to be a prisoner.” They let him go but kept his carbine. “Pap,” the father, was hiding with his rifle. “Louisa came out to him and hid his gun and shot pouch in the grass and said, “Come on in with us and be friendly with them.” The soldiers then demanded food to eat and a place to sleep. After all the floor space was filled, men slept outdoors on the grass. Their horses were turned loose in the orchard and corn field. All night long “Mother” (Amanda Hamilton’s words) and the older daughter cooked for the men while one table full another ate. An old neighbor (Rick Newport) was a captain in the crowd, but denied he was of the community. Late that night when all were asleep “mother” took the lamp, walked among the soldiers, and saw that it was really he; he admitted the fact when the war was over.

In the morning all the horses were gathered up and also five of the Beckner’s horses. The evening before “Pap” (Amanda Hamilton’s words) had had Amanda turn his horses out in the woods hoping they might remain there; but they returned home just in time and at the right place for the soldiers to take them.

As they were ready to leave “Mother” said, “Leave me a guard as the company gets started for fear something might happen.” This request was granted and two mounted men remained. As soon as all others were on their way one of the guards said to “Pap”, “Now old man, start on. You’ve got to show us the way.” “Mother” and six children started with him. Louisa, who was 17 years old, walked by the side of one of the guards where she could watch him. She thought he started to pick up his gun so she grabbed it. He jerked it loose and said, “Let that alone.” Most of the children were crying and Abram was so scared he was vomiting. “Mother was looking on the ground for rocks; she thought they wanted to kill him, but they wanted his money. “Give me one hundred dollars in green back and you can have your old man” they said to her. “How can I when I haven’t it?” she replied. “Well, give me his pocketbook then, ” they demanded. John took his out and said they should give his. They grabbed it saying, “Now you’ve got a bigger one than that. Go and get it.” John started to the house yelling and crying out “They’re going to kill Pap if I don’t get his pocketbook,” as a soldier followed him. Amanda, who remained at home with her little baby, got the pocketbook for them. They had other money hidden in the ash bank where some of the soldiers had camped that night. After getting the pocketbook the soldiers rode off as hard as they could to overtake their men. When they family returned home they sat on the porch to rest and talk over what had happened, and to see the condition in which their home was left.

After the war school laws were again in force. Amanda was the first teacher in the home district. Not a book did the school possess, so Amanda went to Springfield by stage to get supplies for the three month school. During the time she taught, at least three terms, all her brothers and sisters, except Louisa, attended.”

— From “The Beckner – Miller Family History” Compiled by Helen Gibson

“Attended Drury Academy when it opened in 1873. Was first woman student. Rec’d teaching cert 1875. Took her baby (Harrison Smith to school with her in a market basket. Taught school in her home and went from home to home on horseback, to teach students. Her young husband (Albert Smith) was a Union soldier, died of pneumonia at Duval’s Bluff, Ark, 1864. Met David Charles Hamilton in 1872, a clerk in a Lebanon store, married in 1874. Returned to Drury later and got diploma.” — From notes from unknown family member

“In Amanda’s later days, she recalled her wedding dress of white Victorian lawn with a full skirt and “infant” waist. The full sleeves were trimmed with lace, and there was a touch of lace at the throat. Her young husband rode away, shortly after their marriage, as a member of the Eighth Missouri Cavalry, and she only saw him three times again before his death at Duvall’s Bluff, in 1864. When the war was over, a delegation of citizens called on the young widow and asked her to each a “subscription” school.”

“Levi Lease Beckner remained in Ohio for a time where he was apprentice to a brick mason. After becoming a full fledged artisan in brick work he joined the family in Goshen. His work and material which he made was considered the best in that part of the country. In 1841, at the age of 27, he did his first piece of work in Missouri where he had moved two years previously; this was the building of the first court house at Bolivar. The first court house at Buffalo and Marshfield, the old Danforth residence east of Springfield, and the Judge Fyan residence of Marshfield were other of his buildings. After the Marshfield cyclone in 1880 it was noted that the Fyan residence stood together in bigger and better pieces than any other buildings in town.

“In 1834 the family left for Springfield, Missouri, but, finding a beautiful prairie, with fine springs about half way between Lebanon, Laclede County and Buffalo, Dallas County, Daniel and his son Levi, bought some claims with log cabins on them and entered some government land at $1.25 an acres. Rail fences soon went up. Ox teams, four or five yoke to one plaw, breaking the thick prairie sod, was the order of the day, thus giving both power and transportation. Corn and wheat were raised in abundance, and orchards and gardens throve.” (Amanda Hamilton’s own words)

“The neighborhood needed a post office, so, going through the proper preliminaries, Levi L. Beckner was appointed postmaster. As his and his father’s fences were built so they formed a lane a half mile long, Daniel called the office Long Lane. The post office fixtures consisted of wrapping paper, waybills, sealing wac wafers, a bottle of ink, another of sand, and a goose quill pen; also of course there was the key to the mailbag. These things were kept in a small dry goods box, nailed to the wall over the dining table in the big one-roomed log cabin. Letters were mailed by being paid for in cash and the amount written on the outside. Twenty-five cents carried a letter to California. Letters were folded and sealed down as no envelopes were available, if, indeed, they had even been invented then. Mail was carried from Springfield through Buffalo and Lebanon to Rolis and St. Louis by pony, once a week.” (Amanda Hamilton’s own words)

In 1842, Levi Lease Beckner married Sarah Ann Miller who lived three miles south on Soosenberry Creek. To them was born Amanda (Smith – Hamilton), and Louisa (Wharton) while living at Long Lane. In 1848 the family moved to Buffalo where they bought a home to live in while Levi built the Buffalo Court House. Across the street from the home was located Horace Stanley’s cabinet shop. Stanley was an exceptionally fine cabinet maker. To him everyone came to get their furniture made as there were no furniture stores in those days. So Levi and Sarah thought they would have some furniture made while they had this good opportunity; namely, a corner cupboard made of cherry (at Belle Gibson’s), two walnut four poster beds (one at Amanda Hamilton’s and the other stolen from John Beckner’s barn loft), and a white walnut fall lead table with six legs (worn out). While living at Buffalo, a son, John Knisley, was born. After their return to the Long Lane farm three years later, Abram Lease, May Ann, and Isabel Adaline (Gibson) were born. The family sold this home in 1858 and moved to a new farm one and a half miles west of what was later called Conway, in Laclede County. Here the last child, Isaac Newton, named after Sir Isaac Newton, was born.

A few exciting incidents occurred at the Beckner farm during the Civil War. The Beckners favored the Union, while the sentiment of the Miller family, with the exception of Sarah Ann, was with the South. Sarah Ann was very outspoken in her conviction about the matter. “Don’t split into two governments. It will never do,” she would say. Two of her Confederate brothers, Jacob and George Miller, were in the Battle of Wilson Creek when the former was killed. George also was being loaded with the dead when someone saw him move. A woman of that vicinity cared for him until he could go on. Later he too was killed in the war.

As they were ready to leave “Mother” said, “Leave me a guard as the company gets started for fear something might happen.” This request was granted and two mounted men remained. As soon as all others were on their way one of the guards said to “Pap”, “Now old man, start on. You’ve got to show us the way.” “Mother” and six children started with him. Louisa, who was 17 years old, walked by the side of one of the guards where she could watch him. She thought he started to pick up his gun so she grabbed it. He jerked it loose and said, “Let that alone.” Most of the children were crying and Abram was so scared he was vomiting. “Mother was looking on the ground for rocks; she thought they wanted to kill him, but they wanted his money. “Give me one hundred dollars in green back and you can have your old man” they said to her. “How can I when I haven’t it?” she replied. “Well, give me his pocketbook then, ” they demanded. John took his out and said they should give his. They grabbed it saying, “Now you’ve got a bigger one than that. Go and get it.” John started to the house yelling and crying out “They’re going to kill Pap if I don’t get his pocketbook,” as a soldier followed him. Amanda, who remained at home with her little baby, got the pocketbook for them. They had other money hidden in the ash bank where some of the soldiers had camped that night. After getting the pocketbook the soldiers orde off as hard as they could to overtake their men. When they family returned home they sat on the porch to rest and talk over what had happened, and to see the condition in which their home was left.”

“Conway, Missouri, a rather thriving town located at the corner of four counties, Laclede, Dallas, Webster, and Wright, was taking shape. It was one of several Missouri towns that sprung up with the coming of the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad in 1868-1869. The town was laid out in 1869 by the railroad company and named after the contractor of the railroad. Within the community was a group of people known as ‘Baptists’ who wanted a meeting place of their own.

The First Baptist Church was first organized as the Conway Missionary Baptist Church on November 4, 1878, with L. L. Beckner and wife, Rodney O. Hardy and wife, A. J. Yeary, J. A. Newport, Mary Newport, J. K. Beckner and others as charter members. The first permanent building was erected five years later on a hill on the west side of town adjacent to the Conway Cemetery. This was a white frame structure 25×50 feet, facing east, with the material and labor being largely contributed by the members.

“Levi learned the mason trade as a youth in Ohio and Indiana. He put his training to good use in Missouri, where he constructed a number of well known landmarks, including the Buffalo Court House in Bolivar, Missouri (in 1841), and the ill-fated Dallas County Court House in Buffalo (in 1846). This building was burned by the Confederate Army on 18 Oct 1863. In addition to his work as a mason, Levi was a farmer and the local Postmaster. His Post Office was called Long Lang because of the half mile of rail fences on his and his father’s farms. Mail was carried from Springfield through Buffalo and Lebanon to Rolle and St. Louis by a pony once a week, The family fols the Long Lane farm in 1858 and moved to another farm, one a one-half mile west of Conway in Laclede County.”

**********************************************************************

Levi L. Beckner is a son of Daniel and Mary (Lease) Beckner, and was

born in Montgomery county, Va., September 9, 1814. Daniel Beckner was

born near Philadelphia, Penn., June 5, 1790, and died in Laclede coun-

ty, Missouri, in 1870; his wife died in Elkhart county, Ind., in 1862

or 1863. They were married in Montgomery county, Va., where they lived

until 1827, when they moved to Preble county, Ohio; eight years later

they went to Elkhart county, Ind., and in 1839 located in what was then

Pulaski county, now Dallas county, Mo., which was their home until the

outbreak of the late war, when they returned to Elkhart county, Ind.

They were members of the Dunkard church, in which he was a deacon. He

was a Union man during the war, and his sympathies were subsequently

with the Republican party. He was assessor of Dallas county, and also

served as associate judge in that county one term. Of the family of

eleven children, four sons and three daughters are still living, viz.:

Levi L.; Daniel, a prominent citizen of Laclede county; Aaron, a farmer

of Greene county, Mo.; Eli Harrison, a carpenter of Springfield; May

Ann, widow of Moses Hess and living at Elkhart, Ind.; Nioma, who marr-

ied Louis Wise, a farmer near Marshfield, and Dilicah, now Mrs. Elias

Hess, a retired farmer of Marshfield. When eighteen years of age Levi

L. Beckner learned the brick mason’s trade, at which he worked in Ohio

and Indiana for several years. In 1841 he built the court house in

Bolivar, Mo., which is still used, and at that time the best court

house in Southwestern Missouri, and in 1846 built the courthouse at

Buffalo, Dallas county, Mo., which was burned during the war. After

removing to Missouri he turned his attention to farming, which he has

since continued. February 20, 1842, he married Sarah Ann Miller, who

was born in McMinn county, Tenn., May 2, 1822, and is a daughter of

John and Elizabeth Miller, natives also of Tennessee. Seven children

have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Beckner, of whom five are living, viz.:

Amanda, wife of David Hamilton, a farmer of Dallas county; John K., is

a farmer and merchant of Webster county, and postmaster of Forkner’s

Hill postoffice; Abram L., is a farmer and stock raiser of Laclede

county; Isabelle Adeline married John J. A. Gibson, of Greene county,

Mo., and Isaac N., a commercial traveler for the firm of Wells & Co.,

of St. Louis. Louisa was the wife of William Wharton, and resided in

Greene county at the time of her death. Mary Ann died when seventeen

years of age. The family are consistent members of the Missionary

Baptist church, and the male members are Republicans.

BET JAN AND 20 FEB 1842 when Levi Lease was 27, he married Sarah Ann Miller62,102,61, in Long Lane, Missouri.103,75

“A few exciting incidents occurred at the Beckner farm during the Civil War. The Beckners favored the Union, while the sentiment of the Miller family, with the exception of Sarah Ann, was with the South. Sarah Ann was very outspoken in her conviction about the matter. “Don’t split into two governments. It will never do,” she would say. Two of her Confederate borthers, Jacob and George Miller, were in the Battle of Wilson Creek when the former was killed. George also was being loaded with the dead when someone saw him move. A woman of that vicinity cared for him until he could go on. Later he too was killed in the war.”

[Approximately 1858-1861] During General Price’s raid, which occurred soon after the Battle of Wilson Creek, a group of about 300 soldiers, who had been visiting relatives in the North, were returing south to join the main army. This company of soldiers were gathering all the horses they could lead; they had robbed stores and had burned the Buffalo Court House. One evening the Beckners saw this group approaching their home. Each soldier was leading at least two horses, and on their backs were strapped everything from water pails to bolts of calico and women’s hoops flopping.

As they drew up to the house they said they were hunting for the men who burned the court house at Buffalo – thus trying to get on the good side of the family by pretending they belonged to the Union. John, who was about fourteen years old, was so glad to hear they were Union soldiers (supposedly) replied, “I’ve got a carbine (small gun) some of the Union soldiers gave me.” They grabbed it and said, “You are my prisoner now; give it to me.” As they were grabbing at him his mother siad, “Let him alone – he’s too young to be a prisoner.” They let him go but kept his carbine. “Pap,” the father, was hiding with his rifle. “Louisa came out to him and hid his gun and shot pouch in the grass and said, “Come on in with us and be friendly with them.” The soldiers then demanded food to eat and a place to sleep. After all the floor space was filled, men slept outdoors on the grass. Their horses were turned loose in the orchard and corn field. All night long “Mother” (Amanda Hamilton’s words) and the older daughter cooked for the men while one table full another ate. An old neighbor (Rick Newport) was a captain in the crowd, but denied he was of the community. Late that night when all were asleep “mother” took the lamp, walked among the soldiers, and saw that it was really he; he admitted the fact when the war was over.

As they were ready to leave “Mother” said, “Leave me a guard as the company gets started for fear something might happen.” This request was granted and two mounted men remained. As soon as all others were on their way one of the guards said to “Pap”, “Now old man, start on. You’ve got to show us the way.” “Mother” and six children started with him. Louisa, who was 17 years old, walked by the side of one of the guards where she could watch him. She thought he started to pick up his gun so she grabbed it. He jerked it loose and said, “Let that alone.” Most of the children were crying and Abram was so scared he was vomiting. “Mother was looking on the ground for rocks; she thought they wanted to kill him, but they wanted his money. “Give me one hundred dollars in green back and you can have your old man” they said to her. “How can I when I haven’t it?” she replied. “Well, give me his pocketbook then, ” they demanded.

“Daniel’s son, Daniel Beckner, who in1789 was born in Baden was 20 years old at the time of the voyage [to America]. In 1813 he married Mary Lease, a large, plain, industrious, pleasant woman who was always smiling. Daniel was noted for his thrift, intelligence, and hospitality. He was at one time county assessor. The older of their eleven children were born in Ohio, and the younger group in Goshen, Indiana, where they moved about 1827 or 1830. Their names are Levi Lease Beckner, Isaac, Samuel, Daniel, Mary Ann (Hess), Aaron, James, Naomi (Wise), Delilah (Tatum – Hess), Katherine, and Eli Harrison.

“In 1834 the family left for Springfield, Missouri, but, finding a beautiful prairie, with fine springs about half way betweem Lebanon, Laclede County and Buffalo, Dallas County, Daniel and his son Levi, bought some claims with log cabins on them and entered some government land at $1.25 an acrew. Rail fences soon went up. Ox teams, four or five yoke to one plaw, breaking the thick prairie sod, was the order of the day, thus giving both power and transportation. Corn and wheat were raised in abundance, and orchards and gardens throve.” (Amanda Hamilton’s own words)

“Another pioneer family entered this part of Missouri in 1839, about the time the Beckners came. John Miller, (whose father, Adam Miller, was a Lutheran preacher), came from Tennessee with his wife Elizabeth Knisley Miller and their nine children – Abraham, Mary Polly (Cox – Jones – Greene), Isaac, Sarah Ann (Beckner), Jacob, WIlliam, Catherine (Ball), George and John. Sarah Ann was sixteen when the trip was made. A girl friend from the Penn family came with them. From the many slaves Elizabeth’s father owned he have her a girl who helped raise the children when they were small. When Elizabeth and her husband moved to Missouri she freed this slave girl and left her with her own people. The trip was made in two wagons and a surry, however, the older children walked nearly all the way.

The Millers first stopped near Lebanon for a short time, and then came to Doosenberry Creek where they made their permanent home, a farm of at least 500 acres. Here was a beautiful large, “bold (Amanda Hamilton’s words) spring among the rocks which boiled up clean and clear from under a large sycamore tree. Broad sandstone steps led to a picturesque log springhouse which was about fifteen feet long and eight feel wide. The door was just above the run of the branch which had a sandstone race the full length of the spring house. On the hillside were many geese, sheep, and cattle and hogs were grazing; flax and cotton, to weave for all home purposes, were growing in the fields around this pioneer house.” — From “The Beckner – Miller Family History” Compiled by Helen Gibson

(V) General Simeon, son of Dr. Andries (2) and Jannetje (Vernooy) De Witt, was born at Warwarsing, Ulster county, New York, December 26, 1756, died at Ithaca, New York, December 3, 1834. The baptismal record shows that he was baptized on the day following his birth, into the faith of the Reformed Protestant Dutch church. Young De Witt, after receiving such an English education as a scattered agricultural population afforded, was placed for classical instruction with Rev. Dr. Romeyn, of Schenectady, an intimate friend of his father. He was thus prepared for college, and was sent to Queen’s (afterwards Rutgers) College, under Rev. Dr. Hardenbergh, graduating in 1776, the only one in the class. It was impossible to follow the course in quietude, for those were stirring times of revolutionary conflict. The battle of Long Island was followed by the evacuation of New York City, and the American forces were not permitted to retreat across the Hudson river unmolested, for General Howe pursued them to New Brunswick, burned Princeton, and then marched on to Trenton. De Witt continued his studies at home, passing much time in the family of his uncle, General James Clinton, of the revolutionary army, and the father of De Witt Clinton, afterwards governor of New York, with whom he was a great favorite. This intimacy kindled a patriotism which resulted in De Witt’s achieving prominence throughout his long career.

The news of General Burgoyne’s contemplated excursion by way of Canada into the United States aroused both old and young. A battalion was organized in Ulster county under General Gates, to join the American army, and with this De Witt marched as a volunteer adjutant. On arriving at the seat of war, the men were incorporated into a regiment already existing and being thus deprived of his temporary command, he fell into the ranks as a private, and in this capacity was present at the battles which decided the fate of Burgoyne, as well as being present at the surrender of the British following the battle of Bemis’ Heights, October, 1777. The service being ended for which he and his companions had volunteered, he returned to his father’s house, where he pursued his mathematical studies in connection with the practical business of surveying. Not many months had elapsed before General Washington, in a letter to General James Clinton, inquired whether he knew of any person who was qualified to act as geographer; in other words, to be a topographical engineer for the army. De Witt was immediately recommended, and was appointed in 1778 to be assistant to Colonel Robert Erskine, then geographer-in-chief. He performed his duties so admirably that when his superior died in 1780, De Witt was appointed head of the department, which commission was signed September 8, 1780, by Thomas McKean, president of congress, and took effect on December 4. He was ordered, December 16, 1780, by General Washington to go to headquarters at New Windsor, and continued attached to the main army until the end of the campaign. He was constantly employed in the survey along the route of the army to Yorktown, and was present both at its siege and surrender, thus having witnessed the two important surrenders, of Burgoyne and Cornwallis. The maps made by him were tendered to Washington with the suggestion that if printed by the government they would be of great value to the public; but although Washington advocated De Witt’s idea, congress deemed the country too low in funds to attempt the undertaking. He was appointed surveyor-general on May 13, 1784, and he held the position for more than fifty years. He established, with James Clinton, the boundary between New York and Pennsylvania, completing the survey in the years 1786-87, in satisfactory manner. In 1786 the state legislature had requested him to prepare a map of New York, which he finished and published in 1802, being a most creditable effort on his part, and an index at this day of what the state was at that time.

In 1796 General Washington, without General De Witt’s knowledge or solicitation, nominated him to the senate of the United States as surveyor-general, and the appointment was cordially ratified, but he was obliged from force of circumstances to decline. The following is the official record:

General De Witt considered this as the most gratifying event in his whole career, especially as he had gained, as shown by numerous private letters, the fullest confidence and friendship of George Washington. In 1798 he was elected a regent of the University, to succeed Hon. Lewis Morris, deceased, which office he held until his death, and for many years was senior member of the board. In 1817 he was elected vice-chancellor, and in 1829, chancellor of the University. He was a charter member of the Society of the Cincinnati, of which General Washington was president.

On the inception of the canal policy in New York, Mr. De Witt was officially directed to cause surveys to be made of all streams and rivers between the Hudson and Lake Erie, and for several years he was associated as one of the board of canal commissioners. He was a member of the American Philosophical Society, the oldest in the United States, joining in 1790, on the recommendation of Rittenhouse, to which he made one communication, published in the 6th volume, “Observations on the Eclipse of the Sun.” He was president of the Lancaster school’s board, Albany, and succeeded Chancellor Livingston as president of the Society for the Promotion of Agriculture, Arts and Manufactures, incorporated by him and others in 1793 in New York state, before which he read two scientific papers, “On a Plan for a Meteorological Chart,” and “Establishment of a Meridian Line in the City of Albany.” His writings on drawing and perspective were published in a volume entitled The Element of Perspective, 1813. In his annual address he introduced the novel idea of the rotation of crops. To the Transactions of the Albany Institute he contributed a table of variations of the magnetic needle; observations on the function of the moon, deduced from the eclipse of 1806, and a description of a new form of rain gauge. In Silliman’s Journal he discussed the theory of meteors, and altogether he was thoroughly conversant with many important fields of science, but particularly agriculture and meteorology, ever exhibiting a most cultured mind, and a desire to advance the people’s interest.

General Simeon De Witt married (first), October 12, 1789, Elizabeth Lynott, born January 3, 1767, died December 13, 1793; married (second), Janneke (Jane) Varick Hardenberg, born May 18, 1760, died April 10, 1808, daughter of John and Jane (Dey) Varick, and widow of Abraham Hardenberg; married (third), October 29, 1810, Susan Linn, born October 30, 1778, died May 5, 1824, daughter of Rev. William and Rebecca (Blair) Linn. The third wife of General De Witt, Susan (Linn) De Witt, wrote a novel, Justina, and also a poem entitled “The Pleasures of Religion.”

General De Witt’s second wife was a sister of Colonel Richard Varick, and with excellent reason the descendants are proud of the relationship. He was a noted revolutionary officer and recorder and mayor of New York. The latter office he occupied for twelve years, the longest term of service on record since the revolution. Colonel Varick was born of Dutch parentage, at Hackensack, New Jersey, in 1752, the common American ancestor of the family being Rev. Adolphus Van Vork, minister of the Reformed Dutch church at Jamaica, Long Island, who died in 1694. Colonel Varick was educated at King’s, now Columbia, College, and embraced the profession of law. At the beginning of the revolution he tendered his services, and was appointed military secretary of General Philip Schuyler, then commanding the Army of the North. Congress appointed him deputy commissary-general in February, 1776, with the rank of lieutenant-colonel, and he was present as such at the memorable battles of Stillwater and Saratoga, fought in September and October, 1777. After the surrender of Burgoyne, he was stationed at West Point as inspector-general, and then became Washington’s recording secretary until the close of the war. To him Washington wrote from Mount Vernon, January 1, 1784, a letter cherished by his relatives living at Albany, which, in part, is as follows: “I pray you will be persuaded that I shall take a pleasure in asserting on every occasion the sense I entertain of the fidelity, skill and indefatigable industry manifested by you in the performance of your public duties.” In the possession of the Varick family is a small pair of silver spurs. As George, the young son of Governor Clinton, was one day riding down Broadway, in the city of New York, he was stopped by President Washington, who buckled these spurs on his boots with his own hands. Colonel Varick participated prominently in the formation of the Society of the Cincinnati, of which Washington was the first president, and he was elected president of the New York branch of that society, July 9, 1806. He served in the assembly in 1787-88, and in both years was chosen speaker. He was made attorney general, May 14, 1789, and was a reviser of the New York laws in 1778-89. The town of Varick was named in his honor, by act of legislature passed February 6, 1830. He died July 30, 1831.

“In 1809 Daniel Beckner and Anna Danner Lachaw Beckner came to Dayton, Ohio from Baden, German with their family. Two of Daniel’s brothers, Nicholas and John, were also in the group, but they with their decendants have been lost from out knowledge. The story has come by word of mouth that an estate was left in the Baden, Germany Bank for this family, but no one returned to claim it.” — From “The Beckner – Miller Family History” Compiled by Helen Gibson

“Daniel appears on the York, Pennsylvania, Tax List for 1780, 82 and 83. He also appears in the York County Muster List for 1781. He bought 102 ac. on Looney’s Branch in Botetourt, Virginia on 11 Sep 1797 (Deed Bk 6, pg 332). Fifty acres were sold to Samuel Obenchain on 6 Oct 1797 and 52 acres were sold, 1 Dec 1804 to William Obenchain. In April, 1812, Daniel’s brother, Joseph – administrator of Nicholas Beckner’s estate – made payment to Daniel Beckner, John Beckner, Henry Moyer, Mr. Shank (his wife’s portion), also note due from Abraham’s estate, plus interest on note collected from Jacob’s estate, Daniel, David, Henry, Shank’s wife, Moyer’s wife, Joseph, and Henry (settlement made 30 Mch 1814) (Will Bk B, p. 386) (Note: This particular entry ties into the deed listed in Deed Bk 8, pg 594 of 1805, where Nicholas deeded 102 acres to his son Joseph, for agreeing to care fo Nicholas and Anna in their old age.) It is believed that Daniel and Anna went to Ohio as early as 1816 (York County, Pennsylvania, Deed dated 21 May 1816, lists Daniel Beckner and Anna, his wife, of Montgomery County, Ohio). Daniel’s brother, John, died in 1822, and bequeathed that the “remainder of my estate both the money remaining of the piece of land, and the personal estate shall be equally divided among my brothers and sisters…” (Will Book C. p 374) In January, 1823, John Beckner, deceased of Botetourt County, Virginia, will of 10 Apl 1822, to Daniel, his brother, of Montgomery COunty, Ohio, who gives Power-of Attorney to Daniel Beckner, Jr. in Botetourt COunty, VIrginia. (Deed Bk 15, p 551) Daniel and Anna are found on the 1830 Preble, Ohio, Census. Their death dates are approximated.”

“Francis Logan emigrated to Virginia from New York; then to Berkley County, South Carolina.

Served as Captain throughout the Revolution. (See Gibbs’ ‘South Carolina,’ page 22, Vol. 1; also Gibbs’ ‘Documentary History of Revolution.’

From McGrady’s South Carolina in the Revolution, 1775-1780: ‘A return of the Militia and volunteers on duty in the fortified camp at Ninety-Six, the 17th day of November, 1775, under command of Major Andrew Williamson by order of Honorable Francis Logan, two officers, three sergeants, fifteen privates.

Francis Logan was also an active partisan, and held a commission as Lieutenant, Captain and Major at various times, and also participated in some engagements as a private soldier.

Dr. Saussure’s Officers who served in the South Carolina Regiment, p. 28: ‘Logan, Captain.’

Expedition under Maj. Andrew Williamson, Berkley County, Regiment (Capt. Linney’s Order Book-1776).

Records and family tradition say Francis Logan was commissioned Major, but the comission was not confirmed until the War closed. However, he was known as ‘Major Francis Logan’ after the War closed.

After Independence was declared, Francis Logan located in Rutherford County, on 2nd Broad River, where he lived until his death in 1826, leaving many descendants in the county, ‘many of whom have been eminent participants in civic and military affairs in Rutherford County.’ (Griffin’s History of Rutherford and Tryon Counties—page 102 Clarence Griffin, Historian.)”

“The inscription on the tombstone at Hannah Trimble’s grave is as follows: ‘Sacred to the memory of Hannah Logan who died 1805 at the age of 72 years’. Five brothers. John, James, Alexander, David and Moses Trimble emigrated from county Armagh in Ireland to Philadelphia about 1730. (Ref. Compendium of American Genealogy by Virkus, Vol. IV p. 211)…. (The following story of Hannah Trimble has been handed down in the Logan family. It is quoted from a book written by Mrs. J.B. Eaves — a great-grandaughter of Francis Logan — Lineal Descendants of Samuel Wilson, Sr.) ‘Hannah Trimble (Mrs. Francis Logan) was a woman of strong character. A story has been handed down in the fmaily that, on one occasion during the Revolutionary War, when Maj. Logan was home on furlough, the Tories thought to capture him. The Major had a few minutes warning of their approach, and only time to get under a bridge over which the Tories would have to ride to reach his home. Mrs Logan (Hannah Trimble) would not tell them where Major Logan was but told them to search the house if they wished to do so. They searched, and proceeded to break up furniture and smash things generally in the home. While they were doing that Mrs. Logan quietly walked out, cut the reins of the horses of the Tories, and set a pack of hounds adter the horses. The soldiers had to rush after their horses and the Major was not captured.” The Genealogy of Major Francis Logan by Katherine Logan Conley (Rutherfordton, N.C.: Associated Services, [1970]).

“Nicholas appears on the 1862, 1772, and 1779-1783 Tax Lists in Berwick Township, York County, Pennsylvania. (Pennsylvania Archives Series 3, Vol. 2) The 1783 reports Nicholas as having 150 acres and six inhabitants. The addition six people would have been his wife, Anna, and children David, Henry, Mary, Joseph, and Catherine. The four older boys are all listed separately for that year. By 1781, Nicholas had moved his family to Botetourt COunty, Virginia. Deed Book 3, page 463, in Botetourt County shows Nicholas purchased 158 acres in Looney’s Creek from John and Mary Moore for 150 pounds. In 1801 and 1803, there are deeds for Nicholas selling 3 acres of land. Although no additional land purchases were listed, there must have been some for, in 1805, Nicholas deeded 102 acres each to his two youngest sons Henry and Joseph. Deed Book 8, ppg 594-595, of the Botetourt County records reads, “for and in consideration of the said Joseph (and Henry) agreeing to comfortable support and maintain their father and mother, the said Nicholas and Anna his wife and provide them with everything necessary for their comfortable accommodation and living in their old age, as long as they or either of them shall live. It is to be understood that if they fail to comply with the terms stated, the title of the land would revert to Nicholas and this deed become void.” Nicholas died late in 1812. An inventory of Nicholas’ estate can be found in the records of the January term of County Court for 1813.”

Anna’s last name comes from research done by William Oliver Beckner. When reviewing his research, it was discovered that there was no source document for this information. In trying to verify this information, we found that Killian is indeed a German name. One particular family was from the Rheinland Region of Germany, immigrated to Philadelphia in 1732, and settled in York COunty, Pennsylvania for a time.”

640 Andrew Logan.84,81,83 Born abt 1705 in Ireland.84,81,83 Andrew died in Abbeville District, South Carolina, in 1788; he was 83.84,81,83 Buried in Abbeville District, South Carolina.83 Immigrated bef 1733 to From County Antrim, Ireland, to Albany, New York.170 Emigrated bef 1756 from From Albany, New York to the eastern part of Meckelburg County, North Carolina.171 Emigrated on 21 Oct 1757 from Request that his land patent might be recorded in North Carolina instead of South Carolina. Request was granted.172 Emigrated BET 1762 AND 1763 from From North Carolina to District Ninety Six, South Carolina.171 171 Resided in “above Ninety Six Courthouse”, BET 1778 AND 1779.173 Alias/AKA: /Hendrick/.

According to The Genealogy of Major Francis Logan by Katherine Logan Conley (Rutherfordton, N.C.: Associated Services, [1970]), Andrew Logan was born in Scotland.

According to The Logans of Old Ninety Six and their descendants by Lida E. Logan (1986), Andrew Logan’s middle name was probably Henry.

“The fort and village of Saratoga, N.Y. was burned by a party of “French Indians” and the settlers crops destroyed on Nov. 16, 1745. In early 1746 there was an epidemic of Smallpox in Albany, N.Y., and in the spring and summer of 1746 an epidemic of diptheria occurre through New ENgland, N.Y., N.J. and PA, with a high mortality rate. (CIII, 83, Pp. 241 and 246) Perhaps that was the reson for Andrew Logan’s family’s move from N.Y. Oral tradition tells that they moved to PA., but no proof of this has been found.

A historical documentation map of the part of Rowan Co, N.C. that later became Yadkin CO. shows Andrew Logan as one of the County Regulators. (VII, 6) One Patrick Logan and his family, who lived in Lancaster Co., PA in 1751, purchased land in that same part of Rowan Co., N.C. in 1754, and his family remained there. There is no evidence that these families were related.

The next records of Andrew Logan’s family are of his purchase of two land grants from King George II, signed by Gov. James Glenn, of S.C., both grants dated 13th May 1756, but the request for the survey to be made by Hohn Hamilton was dated 6th Feb. 1755. One grant of 200 acres “lying on a branch of Rockie River, a branch of the Pedee, and Butting and Bounding by vacant land on every side” proved to be in the COlony of N.C., and the family settled there first. That grant was in the eastern part of Mecklenburg Co., N.C., so was in the area vacated by the Waxhaw Tribe of Indians, so was a safe area during the French and Indian War which was in progress then.

An error had been made when the boundary between N.C. and S.C. was established in 1737, so both colonies granted land in an eleven mile strip, which included Andrew Logan’s 200 acre tract. This error was not corrected until 1764. In the meantime problems arose. On January 7th 1756 a petition from fifty-three inhabitants of Rockie River to the Governor of South Carolina was read in the Provincial Council, in which they requested that they be granted magistrates and militia officers, for the Governor of North Carolina had had their land resurveyed and threatened to eject them from their houses and lands in a few weeks. Among these fifty-three inhabitants were Andrew Logan, John Logan, and Francis Logan.

The N.C. Colonial Records, Vol. VI, Pp. 779-81 contain a letter dated 17th May 1762, from Arthur Dobbs, of Brunswick, N.C., to Gov. Boone of N.C., protesting the actions of James Patten, John Logan, and Moses Shelly. Dobbs stated that in 1745 he and three associates had each received patents of 12,500 acres. He had not been required to pay quit rents until 1760 because the settlers on it had left during the Cherokee War. WHen he sent surveyors to complete the survey of this land the above named persons had riotously contested his right to the land. These persons and about thirty other were on horseback and armed with muskets and rifled guns. (XIII, 14)

In the N.C. Colonial Records, Vol. VIII, p. 523, dated 21st Oct. 1767, a letter from Andrew Logan was preseted to the Provincial Council of N.C., in which Logan requested that his patent dated 13the May 1756 for 409 acres, granted by his Excellency James Glenn, Esq., Governor of S.C., might be recorded in N.C. This request was granted. Andrew Logan sold this land about ten years later.

It seems that either N.C. or S.C. granted permission the establishment of a militia, for the N.C. Colonial Records Vol. XXII, p. 398 lists the men who formerly were in Capt. Alexander’s COmpany. Among them were Andrew Logan, Francis Logan, and John Logan.

Although he was not involved in the incident, other evidence that Andrew Logan lived in N.C. propr to the incident is a deposition from James Ashmore, dated 22nd June 1771, in which he tells of events leading up to the burning of poweder belonging to Gen. Hugh Waddell. SOme of the persons involved “had convened at Andrew Logan’s old plantation.” (XIII, 14)

Andrew’s son, John, married in PA in 1757. Oral tradition also tells that Francis Logan also married in PA. The birthdates of Francis’s children suggest that he married after the family moved to S.C.

The only record of their move to S.C., in the vicinity of the village of Ninety-Six, is the statement of Andrew Logan, son of Col. John Logan, Sr., in his application for a pension for service in the Revolutionary War. He stated that he was born in N.C., but was raised in Abbeville, S.C. from the age of nine months. He was born in either 1762 or 1763. (XI, 1)

This move to Ninety-Six, S.C. was, no dout, postponed until the treaty ending the French and Indian War was signed in 1763. The principal white settlement near Ninety-Six was that of the Calhouns at Long ane, which was settled in 1756. By 1759 there were twenty or thirty families, mostly Presbyterians, in that community. On Christmas Eve, 1759, Cherokee Indians massacreed about 23 of these settlers, including Mrs. Catherine Calhoun, and captured two small daughters of William Calhoun, only one of whom was restored to the family. The Calhouns sought refuge in the Waxhaws, for the colonial government provided little protection for these back country settlers. The Calhouns probably remained in the Waxhaws until 1763, although Gov. Lyttlerton had a stockade built around the barn of the trader Robert Goudy, to provide protection.

The name “NInety-Six” is thought to have come from two Indian paths (called “trails” in western United States) from the coast, which merged there and continued to the Cherokee village of Keowee, a distance of about ninety-six miles northwest. (XIII, 29, 33)

In his first volume of the history of that area, Dr. John Henry Logan, great-grandson of Andrew I, described the land to which Andrew I and his family came. (XIII, 33) There in which pea vines grew thick and high, and deer were abundant. ALong the clear streams cane grew thickly, and was sometimes as much as thirty feet tall. In the forested areas enormous oaks, tall pines, sweet gums and hickory grew, with underbrush, so the hunder could see for considerable distances. In the countryside around the present city of Greenwood there were ponds and lakes wnere wild fowl fed. The streams teemed with fish.

These early settlers needed to be almost completely self-sufficient. A few items such as axes, hoes, guns, gun-powder, salt and coarse wollen cloth could be bought from traders, often by trading deerskins for them, but the traders tended to charge high prices.

There were only three counties in the Colony of S.C., each beginning with the coast and extending as far west as British held land was known. The boundaries of these countries did not see to be clearly understood, however, for land patents were made for all three counties for land near Abbevill. (XIII, 29)

All legal transactions had to be recorded in Charles Town until after the Revolution, a distance of about 200 miles. The journey to Charles Town was hazardous, so they usually joined a trader’s pack train for the trip. On numerous records one will find one man authorized to serve a agent for others. By 1765 a few rough roads were built. (XIII, 33, 34) In 1769 seven judicial districts were established in S.C., one of which was the District of Ninety Six. Court sessions were held twich each year, and were well attended by men of that area.

The Scotch-Irish who settled upper S.C. were Presbyterian, but there was a shortage of ministers, so Baptist and Methodist Churches were also established.

All of the sons of Andrew I and Alida Logan served on the side of the Patriots during the Revolution. (XI, 1) Many of there neighbors remained loyal to the King, and most of the battles and skirmishes in upper S.C. were fought by the Tories (loyal to the King) and WHigs (Patriots), who lived in upper S.C. Ruffians, who had always preyed upon the settlers along the frontier, joined the Tories and used this as an excuse for murder, pillage, and arson. The most notorious Tory was “Bloody Bill” Cunningham, but there were others of his kind. Watson tells of the Clouds Creek massacree on Nov. 7, 1781, in which the Tory forces led by “Bloody Bill” Cunningham, killed 27 persons. Many Tories moved to Spanish Florida after the Revolution and, a few years later, came to the area that became Alabama Territory. (XIII, 29, 30, 33, 35, 36, 37)

When the Revolution began med from the middle part of District Ninety Six formed the Little River Regiment, commanded by Gen. Andrew WIlliamson. The men in the State Militia were called out as the need arose, then went home until called out again. (XIII, 30)

After the fall of Charleston in 1780 all parts of S.C. was soon under the control of the British. The only force that continued to offer resistance to the British was the 2500 men who volunteered to serve, at their own expense and with no promise of pay, under the command of Gen. Francis Marion. All of the sons of Andrew Logan I were among this number. Some years later they were credited by the State with 439 day additional service. During this 439 days they harassed the British and were engaged in numerous skirmishes and battles in upper S.C. (XIII, 26)

The end of the war brough about the formation of additional counties (called districts), equal representation in the State Legislature, and freedom to support only the church of their choice.

In the Jury Lists of S.C., 1778-79, Andrew Logan’s name appears on the Petit Jury list, and shows that he lived “above Ninety Six Courthouse.” (XII, 38)

Andrew Logan I prepared his last will and testament on 25th August 1788. His will was proved on 10th October 1788. He left to his wife, Lydia, his plantation and all movable effects. He bequeathed to his son, John, five pounds. To his son, Isaac, he left the one hundred acres of land that he was using. To his nephew (the word nephew meant grandson until about the end of that century), WIlliam Heard, he left one hundred acreas of land, to be received after his grandmother’s death. He names as executors his wife, Lydia, and son-in-law John Wardlaw. (IV, Abbeville Co., S.C.)

There are no further records of Alida Pruyn Logan.”

“Johan Nicholas Beckner arrived in Pennsylvania 27 September 1740, aboard the Lydia, sailing from ‘Rotterdam, last from Dover’, with 180 passengers. On the passenger manifest, he was listed as age thirty-six. The only other family member listed was his son Johann Nicholas Jr., age fifteen. Women and children under the age of fifteen were not routinely [unintelligible word]ned on the passenger lists at that time. He was naturalized in Philadelphia in 1743 and appears on the tax list there in April of that year. He is next found in York County, Pennsylvania. In 1770, he was named as a single member of the Great Conewago Church of the Brethren. We believed he died before 1779 as he is not on the tax lists for York County, as are his sons. No record has been found naming Johann Nicholas’s wife or children, with the exception of son Johann Nicholas, Jr. In a day when large families were the rule, it is reasonable to assume that his family was no exception. The children listed for him are by no means proven, but all are logical assumptions. All children listed were found in the York County, Pennsylvania, area. All ages work out to be approcimately two years apart, which is the logical age spread for the time period, the same names appear in each family, etc. (That Lawrence is a son of Johann Nicholas has been generally accepted for many years and indeed, Lawrence and Nicholas Jr. moved side by side to Virginia and their families were close for several generations.) There does not seem to have been any other Beckner families in the Pennsylvania area during these early years. The only exception is a tax listing for a Jacob Beckner, with 200 acres, in 1783, however, the tax list shows that there are no inhabitants on this property. This listing could well refer to either Jacob, son of Nicholas Jr., or Jacob, son of Lawrence, and not necessarily an elderly man as some have suggested. If there was another family in the area, there most likely would have been more evidence than a one year [unintelligible word] listing. Therefore, we have listed Marillis, John, Magdalina, Michael, Peter and Henry as additional “probably” children of the immigrant Johann Nicholas Beckner.”

The ship “James Goodwell”, Sept. 27, 1727 lists passengers Michael

Tanner (Danner) and Hans Tewalt Letterman (Leatherman) (1690-1760). Daniel

Leatherman, one of Hans Tewalt Letterman’s eleven children became a founder

of the Little Conewago Church- now Black Rock COB in southeastern York Co.,

1738. This was the first German Baptist Church west of the Susquehanna

River.

“…he (Danner) and his wife Anna reared a family of eight children,

all of whom married into the Mennonite, German Baptist, and Huguenot faiths.

This family supplied two prominent Colonial ministers for the emerging

church. Henry Danner (17422-1814) and Jacob Danner (1727-1800) both married

into Mennonite families.

The eldest daughter of the family was Catharine, who married into a

Huguenot family of the region. The county court records show that she

married “Georg Wearly” (Worley) who traced his family line to Diedrich

“Wehrli” (1695-) …” Hanover COB Centennial book-2002

The following were early congregations:

1738- The Little Conewago Church (Black Rock) Daniel Leatherman

founder.

1741- The Big Conewago (Upper Conewago) Daniel Leatherman, George Adam

Martin as early leaders.

1747- Beaver Dam congregation of Maryland

1751- Pipe Creek congregation of Maryland

1756- Middletown Valley congregation with members of Leatherman,

Bussard and Grossnickle families as founders

1758-Codorus congregation, southern York Co., PA- Jacob Danner as

founder

1762- Israel Creek (Linganore) founded with assistance of Jacob

Danner- eventually known as the Locust Grove Church.

Michael came from Germany via Rotterdam on the James Goodwell, David Crockett, ship’s master. The 200 passengers and 53 families were listed as Palatines. They arrived in Philadelphia on Sep 27, 1727. He was a Swiss Mennonite and a member of the Bair Mennonite Meeting house in Hanover, York Co, PA. He recieved the title of “King’s Commissioner of Highways for Pennsylvania in 1734. About 1760 when his son, Jacob led a group of settlers from York Co, PA to Frederick Co, MD, Michael and sons Jacob and Henry ended up platting/surveying the Monocacy Road down the west side of the Monocacy River (with the Blue Ridge Mountains back of it.) It became a main route of settlement from Lancaster Co., PA, down the river, across the Blue Ridge at Frederick to the Potomic River (north of Harper’s Ferry), on to Virginia, Tennessee and the Carolinas. This was called the Monocacy Trail. He also surveyed the York Road which was a very important route that linked York, PA to the Port of Baltimore. In 1770, he was listed as a prominent member to the Conewago German Baptist Brethren Church. (CL-514, 526) There is some indication that Michael also had a daughter named Mary Danner, as a John Kehr leaves a will in 1794 in York Co, PA that refers to his wife Mary and his loving brother in law, Henry Danner. (CL-526)

Danner … received a license, Sept. 17, 1734, to settle “200 acres of land on the west side of the Susquehanna River…about six miles southwesterly from John Hendricks”. The license was granted by Samuel Blunston who promised a regular land grant as soon as the Indians would release their claims on the lands. Lord Baltimore issued warrants against settlers in the disputed lands (southern York Co.). In May 1736, Thomas Cresap and 300 militiamen came to the Susquehanna River to survey the lands from the Susquehanna River to the Codorus Creek. Cresap waited for more militiamen from Maryland to take prisoner all who lived between Wright’s Ferry and the Codorus Creek because they refused to acknowlege themselves as tenants of Lord Baltimore. When the MD militiamen began to seize settlers property/goods, Danner represented the citizens and succeeded in having the militiamen withdraw for two weeks. The (York Co.) settlers appealed for protection from Pennsylvania. Gov. Ogle of MD was angry and offered 100 pounds for the arrest of each person who signed the petition. There is some evidence that Danner was taken twice to Maryland for “trespassing” in York Co. In 1736, Michael Danner appeared befor a Maryland court to repurchase the properties.

According to the Conewago settlement and tombstone records, the family of Michael and Anna Danner were:

Jacob (1727-1799) married Elizabeth Boechtel, daughter of Samuel Boechtel of Manheim Twp. Jacob became the presiding elder of the Codorus Cong. and later moved to MD where he helped establish the Lingamore (Locust Grove) church.

Catharine ( – bef. 1790) married George Wehrly

Anna (Dec 6, 1730-Jan 10, 1804) married Stefan Petry (1729-1793)

Stefan and Anna are buried in the Chestnue Grove Ch Cem.

Michael Jr. ( – d. 1782) married susanna Kehr whose family was Mennonite.

Elizabeth (Nov. 13, 1736-April 21, 1798) married Christian Bear (June 10, 1733-April 17, 1795) <Was there a second or other husband>

Philip married Markret (Margaret) Millheim, daughter of George Millheim of Manheim Twp.

Heinrich (Feb 12, 1742-Feb 5, 1814) married Elizabeth Kehr (Sept 28, 1744-June 17, 1828) Heinrich was a minister in the Little Conewago church.

Maria (Dec 24, 1744-Feb 18, 1816) twice married (1) Heinrich Hohf (d. Aug 9, 1783) and to (2) Daniel Utz.

“Many of the people who entered York County to make settlements

traveled over a road surveyed by Michael Danner and five other surveyors.

The demand for land by new immigrants forced the construction of a road

through the heart of a region that had been acquired from the Indians by

treaty (1736). Danner and a few other families were already in York County

when Elizabethtown, Pa was still a trading post (1732). Both Danner and an

associate, James Hendricks (1705-1780) became identified with the early

German Baptists in York County.

The road which Danner and others surveyed ran close to an old Indian

trail which extended from the Susquehanna River to the Potomac River in

Maryland. Wright’s Ferry (Columbia) was one of the important points for

crossing the Susquehanna River. From this settlement, expeditions frequently

set out to cross into the largely unexplored land which eventually became

known as York County. In the early history of the county, this road was

known as “the Monocacy Road”. It was over this road, surveyed in 1739-1740,

that many members of the German Baptist faith traveled as they made

settlements in York County, Carroll and Frederick Counties in Maryland and

the famous Shenandoah Valley in Virginia.

Danner left his mark upon the region not only by the surveying of

roads, but as well in the naming of York Coundy (1749) and a number of

townships and communities. The names Manheim, Heidelberg, Sinsheim, and

Hanover remain a part of the influence of Michael Danner in the county.”

Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs:

De Witt

107

The ancestor of the De Witt family in America was Tjerck Claessen De Witt, of whom the first mention made is to be found in the “Trouw Boeck,” or register of marriages of the Reformed or Collegiate Dutch church of New York City. There it is recorded that on April 24, 1656, “Tjerck Claessen De Witt van Grootholdt en Zunderlandt” (Westphalia) married “Barbara Andriessen van Amsterdam.” He was the son of Nicholas De Witt, of Holland, one of the members of a most influential family. It is not known whether other of his relatives actually came over from Holland at the same time that he did; but it is thought probable, as he had a sister, Emmerentje, who married Martinus Hoffman in 1662, at New Amsterdam, and his brother, Jan Claessen De Witt, died, unmarried, at Kingston, New York, in 1699.

Tjerck C. De Witt resided in New York for a short time following his marriage in 1656, where his first child was born; but removed in the spring of the following year to Albany, where he purchased a house and lot. He exchanged this in September, 1660, with Madame de Hutter, for land in Wiltwyck (Kingston), Ulster county, New York, with “possession to be given May 1, 1661.” Here he lived until his death, and for two centuries and a half the place remained in the family. He was undoubtedly a man of means, as is shown by the fact that in 1661 he was taxed one hundred and twenty-five guilders (equal to about $50) to help pay for a new church building in Esopus, and in 1662 he owned No. 28 of the “New Lots.” His eldest daughter, Taatje, was carried away from him by the Indians, June 7, 1663, during the destruction of Kingston and Hurley, but was rescued. Governor Lovelace deeded to him “a parcel of bush-land, together with a house, lot, orchard, and calves’ pasture, lying near Kingston, in Esopus,” on June 25, 1672, and Governor Andros, October 8, 1677, deeded to him about fifty acres of woodland west of the town. He was, on February 11, 1679, one of the signers of a renewal of the Nichols treaty with the Esopus Indians. He joined with others, in 1684, petitioning Governor Thomas Dongan that there might he “liberty by charter to this county (Ulster) to choose our owne officers to every towne court by the major vote of the freeholders.” The petition greatly offended the authorities, so that the signers were arrested and fined for this display of a desire for free or local self-government. The trustees of Kingston conveyed to him one hundred and eighty-nine acres of land, February 13, 1685, and June 6, 1685, he claimed two hundred and ninety acres lying upon the north side of Rondout Kill, known as Momboccus, which was granted to him by patent May 14, 1694. He was elected a magistrate of Ulster county, March 4, 1689. He died at Kingston, New York, February 17, 1700. By his will, dated March 4, 1698, he left his property to his wife for life, and directed that after her death it be divided between his oldest and youngest sons, in trust, and by them divided into twelve equal shares, to be given to each of his children or their heirs; but to Lucas he devised the one-half of a sloop he had built the year before, and his widow was named executrix.

Tjerck Claessen De Witt married, at New Amsterdam, April 24, 1656, Barbara Andriessen, who died July 6, 1714. Children:

1. Andries, born in New York City (New Amsterdam) in the early part of 1657 (see forward).

His brother, Francis, went to ALbany, (then called New Albiens) where he is recorded as married to his wife Alida as early as 1665. He conveyed many pieces of property from 1668 on as is [sic] recorded in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Vol. 13, pages 11-15 and 71-76.

Hi,

I thought you might like to know (since Francis Logan is in the direct line here) that Major Francis Logan was actually christened on 26 July 1726, thus was likely born in July 1726, this vs. the 29 July 1734 christening date and birth date of 17 July 1734, as given in the genealogy “The Logans of Old Ninety-Six” Lida Logan, revised 1997. Unfortunately, this date of birth has been put onto Major Logan’s tombstone and is out there for all to see, and has been used about everywhere one looks. And appears that it started from a simple mistake in reading the christenings, then the mistake was translated into two different Logan genealogies, the one mentioned above, and the other being “The Genealogy of Major Francis Logan,” 1970, Catherine Logan Conley, which shows on pg. 4, “Francis, baptised July 29, 1734”
“John, baptised July 7, 1736” According to the same genealogy I cite above (Lida Logan), Col. John Logan, the older brother of Maj. Francis Logan, was baptized “7-07-1734” and this same exact date was also used for Major Francis Logan, in error. The christening records of the Dutch Reformed Church of Albany do verify both christening dates, 7 July 1734, for John, 26 July 1736, for Francis “Franciscus” the record showing the surname as “Hogin” but this is simply a misread, as the parents are shown as Franciscus, of Hendr. and Alida Hogin. Wit.: Fr. Pruym, Anna Lansing [These witnesses being members of the family.]

I am actually working on proofs for all the ancestry before Andrew Logan and Alida Pruyn. I am finding it difficult to prove some of the marriages and births, and without those proofs, anything we have must remain as theory and guess, although I will state that what I have found (histories, secondary sources)looks to be correct, just gotta have some proof. Thanks, Bill Polk, Kansas City, MO.
