Subject:      Hessian soldiers
Comments: To: roots list <roots-l@vm1.nodak.edu>

Thanks to various ones who sent me messages over the past few weeks
regarding Hessian soldiers.  As a result of the mind expanding on
spelling I think I have a clue about mine.  For those of you who may
not have been on the net, my ancestor is one Jacob Rasnake.  We know
that the name has gone through countless spelling changes and I was
flat out of possible new ones until I posted a query on this list.

Last Friday, I found a copy of Clifford Smith's "Mercenaries from
Ansbach and Beyreuth, Germany who remained in America after the
Revolution".  In it there is one entry for a "Johann Ruerhersneck".
There is only one person listed with that name.  Since the family
legend was that the ancestor was kidnapped in his wheat fields, this
would make sense that there might be only one.  Also from the discussions
of this group, I think I understand that while he used Jacob, he might
have had several names, one of which could have been Johann.  In some
ways I feel that I am really reaching to make this fit.  But at the
same time it is the first instance that we have found ANYTHING which
remotely looks as though it could be our ancestor.  I can visualize
him coming into Shenandoah Co., Virginia after the war which had
a lot of German settlers but which also had tons of Scots.  Given the
sound of his name, I could see where those Scots would have begun
spelling it in the various ways that we have found in public records:
i.e. Raversnuck, Rareschnicht, and finally Rasnake, Rasnick, Rasnic.

Thanks to everyone.  Will begin anew on searching this once dead line
and see if it has arisen!

Subject:      the illusive Robert Dee
Comments: To: roots-l@vm1.nodak.edu

My great grandfather Michael Dee was born in St. Catherines, Ontario,
September 6, 1854.  He had 2 brothers, William born 1855 and Richard
born 1856 in Gilford, Ontario and 4 sisters Frances, Harriet, Anna,
Mary and Cora.  There were 2 infants stillborn.  Parents of these
children were Robert Dee and Jane Matterly, Mattingly, Matternly.
Jane was born in 1834 and died in 1919 in Bay City, Michigan.  Family
lore says Jane had 2 brothers that were Methodist Episcopal Ministers
in Canada and Robert was Irish Catholic and a tanner by trade.  Supposedly
they lived in Canada near Holland's Landing and perhaps for awhile in
Pennsylvania.  Jane and Robert were divorced or at least she and the
kids left and she and Richard and the girls ended up in Bay City
Michigan where she ran a boarding house.  Unfortunately the great aunt
that told me this is long dead and while I can fill in some names of
spouses and bring my line to present day, I can not find any thing
on Robert Dee or Jane.  Can some one help me, Is there any one out
there looking for Dees.  Where is Holland's Landing and St. Catherines?
Would be more than happy to share information.  Please contact me at
Lib026@Marshall.WVNET.edu  or 1918 Bungalow Ave., Huntington, West
Virginia 25701.  Thanks.  Kathleen Bledsoe

There are many outstanding library collections on-line and I have used
some of them.  But, I am especially interested in Historical/Genealogical
Societies that have their collections on-line (or available for dial-up).
This EXcludes the Ohio and Wisconsin Historical Societies.  I have their

My family is driving me crazy!!!

    I've been trying to get info on my BULLMAN/BULMAN family for
a long while now and just can't pick up a clue.  Maybe someone out 
there can give me a hint on where else to look:

     John Bullman, born (C.Cork?) Ireland about 1863, married 
Johannah Fitzgerald, born 26 Feb 1865 from Limerick, IR.  There first 
son, John was born in C. Cork 1882, then Patrick Michael (my grand-
father) was born Oct 1885.  The census records say John came to the 
U.S. in 1885.  I figure he might not have known his wife had another 
child on the way.  I've checked the indexed Philadelphia and Boston 
ports of entry with no luck.  I've checked all the ships coming into 
N.Y. from January to June with no luck.  Let me say here I only checked
English/Scot-Irish ships and skipped German and Spanish ships.  Could 
I be missing something?  Then in 1889 Johannah and boys came to the 
U.S. going to Helena, Montana.  They had boy in in Feb 1890, so I
counted back 9-10 months and figure Johannah came over around May-June 
of 1889.  But again, I've checked N.Y. lists from Apr-Sept with no luck. 
Where else could they have come in at coming from Ireland and then 
going to Montana?

     I then checked the National Archives indexed naturalization micro-
film for Montana, which goes back to 1894.  Well, my folks were nat.
in 1894 according to the census records and they don't show up again.  
I know they were still there because they had another boy in 1895 in 
Montana.  Montanan's birth records go back to 1895, but I don't think 
I can even get a birth record.  The next time I pick these folks up is 
in San Francisco.  Heres something really weird I discovered in the 1900 
census.  John Sr. is living on Ellis St. in a boarding house and has 3 
of the kids.  But then the other two younger kids are in another boarding 
house one street over on O'Farrel St.  I figured this was a baby sitter 
right?  The census taker listed John as divorced and Johannah doesn't 
show up anywhere in the CA soundex.  I really think listing him as 
divorced was a mistake or possibly they were fighting at the time and he 
told the census taker this out of meanness because Johannah and John are 
both buried together in Oakland.  But...John died in 1908 and Alameda 
County Court (they moved to Alameda in 1901) can't find his death cert. 
which they should have had. Umm?  I might try for his death cert. in the 
county that San Francisco is in (Contra Costa?). 

     What a mess!  I consider the 1890's as "The Silent Years" and what 
few records are available they seem to have missed and fallin through the 
cracks.  Does anyone out there have any ideas of where else I can look???  
I think I've been looking at this family for so long that I might be missing 
something really simple.

     Thanks!  Caren ...in Dallas                   mack@spdc.ti.com

Subject:      Immigrants to W. Florida Co., FL
Comments: To: roots-l@vm1.nodak.edu

Does anyone know of the location of West Florida County in the 1820's?
I have an ancestor, Morris Pendergast, on the 1820 FL census, and I
can't wait until I get to Clayton Library in Houston to find out where
it is. I assume he was an immigrant from Ireland, and so I'm also in the
dark about the port of entry for people in Florida, does anyone know this too?

The family name now is Prendergast (in my family, at least) but I will list
some of the variants I have seen:

        Prendergast
        Prendergrast
        Pendergrass
        Pendergast
        Pendergrast
        Prendergrass

The name originates from Preulirlegast or Preudlirlegast, a Fleming who
according to some sources went with William the Conqueror on his
adventure. From there, the name goes two places, to Berkshire where it
dies out supposedly, and to Wales. Maurice de Prendergast of Wales was one of
the Normans who went to Ireland along with Maurice fitzGerald. It was said that
Maurice de Prendergast married a daughter of Richard fitzGilbert (Strongbow),
of the house of Clare, but I haven't made that connection. According to the book
"A Dictionary of Surnames", all Prendergasts are assumed to be of the line
of Maurice de Prendergast. Help anyone?

        Thanks,
        Rick

Someone  during the past couple of days indicated one of the names

Following is information:
            LDS Filmstrip #0873691 (First Item) North Carolina Cemeteries
            Pages 104, 105, 106 (Copeland Baptist Church, Surry County,
            North Carolina), around 40 or so entries with names, dates
            of birth/death & inscriptions for 1800's and earlier.

Hope it is of use.

I find that with DOS5 I may need to use LOADFIX to run this program.
The sign is if when it is run the message
"Packed file is corrupt" appears.
This is NOT a problem with the *.Z file!
Try "LOADFIX <progname> <filename>" instead.

may have been Richard.  Since the family is in Hinshaw they are probably
Quakers though how far back I don't know. THe only other references
(Immigrants, etc) to this family I can find are much earlier (1600s)
in New England (any connection?)

I'd like help from anyone who could the on-line libraby catalogues

Maybe it's time to remind people on the difference in file name
format when using ftp or E-mail commands.


When using ftp, the filenames is of type
<filename>.<filetype>

With the example above, the filename should be
Family.list

When using E-mail command, the filenames are of type
<filename> <filetype>

With the example above, the filename should be
Family list

If there is problems, you may add the list name

The filename is then
Family list roots-l
and command to send in TEXT BODY (not Subject line)
GET FAMILY LIST ROOTS-L

PS. The correct address should be Listserv@Vm1.Nodak.Edu from
Internet, or  Listserv at ndsuvm1 from bitnet.
