Comments: To: ROOTS-L@VM1.NODAK.EDU

Hello!
I.  I'm looking for descendants of Capt. Thomas A. Akin and his nephew
Samuel J. Akin who lived in Atchison Co., MO, and Boulder Co., CO,
between 1845 and 1885.  Capt. Thomas A. Akin, born in MD, married
Margaret S. Ross.  Samuel J. Akin b. 1835, in Bloomington, Ogle Co.,
IL, married Mary Ann Burns who was born in Muscatine, IA in 1836.

Mary Ann Burns' parents were Christopher Burns and Rachel ?Pierce?,
from PA, who were in Wayne Co., OH in 1830, and in Logan Co., OH in
1835.  Mary Ann Burns had five brothers: John, ?James?, Adam, Silas,
and Simon Pierce.  Simon Pierce Burns served in the Texas State
Legislature in the late 1800's.

After the death of Christopher Burns, his widow Rachel married James
Amen from VA and the family was in Holt Co., MO in 1850.  Rachel
Burns Amen was with her daughter Mary Ann Burns Akin in Boulder Co.,
CO, from 1865-1885.  Samuel and Mary Ann Akin went to OR before 1890.


II. Searching for any other Amen, Amon, Amin, Born, Borns, Burns
families in PA, OH, MD, IA, and MO.

Thanks,
Steve Olsen

Comments: To: roots-l@vm1.nodak.edu

Any help with the following would be greatly apreciated:

Looking for any information on the first wife of Ernest G. Reidel.

REIDEL, b. 12 Sep 1815 in Kassel Hesse, Germany.  Immigrated to New York
in 1833.  (Later moved, by 1844, to Iowa Co., WI.)  Thought to be married
in New York between 1833 and 1838, because a daughter, Mary Janethe was
born on 10 Jul 1838 in New York City.  (His second marriage was to Betsy
Jane Fletcher in 1844 in New Diggings, Iowa Co., WI.)

The BIG question, then, is: what was Ernest G. Reidel's first wife's name,
birth place and date, etc., when and where were they married, and when and
where did she die (under the assumption she died while married to Reidel).

Let me add my agreement to Alicia Towster's comments on 'marker names'.
I would never have located my ggrandfather's family if I didn't know that
my uncle's middle was from his grandfather - Winfield.  My father - Embert
Lorenzo - was named after his uncles and he frequently talked about another
uncle named Merrit.  I defy anyone to find a group of more unusual names
in one family!  I am now on to the quest of identifying my ggrandfather's
family.  There was a Merrit born in 1855 and my grandfather was born in
July 1849.  Any bets they are probably brothers?

"Sieur de la Forge" would, litterally translated, mean "Lord of the
Forge".  "Sieur" was the old French word for "seigneur" (lord). In that
time period, also used by bourgeois who had purchased a title (land
that confered nobility), or by a local "landed gentry" (I can't think
of a better term in English - "small country lord?")

But litteral translations are not always correct - John Smith may not
have been a blacksmith in 1645 either. Another possible interpretation
would be that "la Forge" is a "lieu-dit" (hamlet). A small grouping
of houses that is not a municipality in its own right (it's attached
administratively to a town nearby), but which has its own name because
that's what people have been calling it for 100's of years. "La Forge"
might be where the first foundry (blanksmiths) in the area was. So it
could be a "professional title" or a place name.

It could actually be a name. "de la Salle" (who explored the North
American continent) litterally means "of the room". But that's the
family name, just as in the above example of John Smith. It may not
have been related to any professional, or ownership, activity.

I would guess that the next step would be to find someone in the area
who could look for a hamlet of that name in the area, and/or to look
thru local histories. If you understand French, you might write to the
municipality (mairie) and askfor references to local history and/or
local genealogical societies.

Good luck -
_matt.

Could some kind soul enlighten me (and anyone else interested) as to

Thanks in advance. There is so much great knowledge out there and it

I'd be interested in knowing more about this as well.  There is a successor

Last Friday I found an ancestor, George Mosser (b. c. 1756 or 1761, d.
19 Jan 1826 or 1825), who served in the Revolutionary War and lived in
Berks and/or Lehigh Cos., PA.  I found his Rev. War Pension & Bounty
Land Application records at the National Archives-New England Branch,
and the above (conflicting) dates are taken from them.  He had a wife,
Elizabeth, and children Ester, Sarah, Hannah (m. Edward Smeck), Susan
(m. a Bierer?), Jacob, Maria (m. John Crossley, my ancestors, who ended
up in Hamilton Co., IN), Margareth, Elizabeth (m. John Webb), Geroge,
Jospeh, and James.  I have located several Mosser families in these two
counties in the 1790-1830 census records.  I suspect he is of German
ancestry.  He served in Armand's Legion of Light Horse; Armand was a
French nobleman who organized this cavalry unit.  Before I do much more
digging on George, I wondered if anyone in ROOTS-L/soc.roots land could
give me some pointers to specific information on this family.

Thanks for your help.

I am just beginning to research my family on my father's side. I was able to
find out that my grandparents came into this country somewhere between 1900 and
1905. They settled in Elizebeth, NJ and eventually moved to Roosevelt NJ which
is now called Carteret NJ. My grandfather and Grandmother met on the boat on the
way to America and married after arriving in this country. My grandfather came
from Lithuania and my grandmother came from Russia ( before the revolution ).

I have also found out the name HOPP was shortened from the name OPPENHEIM at the
time of their arrival in this country. I am still trying to obtain what I can
from family members. I would appreciate any information anyone may be able to
send my way.


Thanks...Jeff Hopp
