| 3505 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Mentioned in father's will dated 10 May 1818: "...my sons, Jacob, Michael and John and my daughters, Mary, Catherine, Charlotte, Margaret, Barbara, Salome and Magdalene..." See full quotation in his notes. This individual would be the "Salome" in the will. Additionally noted as follows: "I do ordain and it is my wish that the share which shall be coming to my daughter Salome, shall be placed in the hands of my son Jacob, for the use of the children of said Salome, with power to give unto the said Salome in case of her coming to absolute want such part thereof as he shall think proper and the share of my daughter Catherine shall likewise be placed in the hands of my son Jacob to be by him said out in land in the name of her child or Children, but to be occupied by her, during her life, and by her husband, if heshall survive her as long as he continues a widower, and share of my daughter Magdalene, shall be equally divided among her children." Consider also in the will that unlike the other named daughters, Magdalene and Salome did not receive any household furnishings which may confirm Magdalene as deceased (and Salome possibly estranged judging from the language of the money stipend of her having to be in "absolute want"). 2.

FHL Book 929.273EL54h "George Michael Eller and Descendants of His in America," compiled by James W. Hook, 1957, also on FHL film 896571, item 2, pp. 88-97: "Michael Stoker, doubtless, was the son of Michael Stoker (Stocker) who settled in Frederick Co., Md. about the middle of the 18th century. No other family of the Stoker (Stocker) name was found by this writer in any of the early Frederick Co. records. The 18th century translated records of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. established about 1746, show many Michael Stoker (Stocker) entries beginning with the birth, on 1 Apr 1758, of Anna Barbara, daughter of 'Mich. Stocker' and his wife 'Ana Barb.' On p. 552 of a copy of these church records, now in possession of the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore, Maryland, will be found a recording of eight children of Michael Stocker, the youngest named George, born 13 Nov 1781. The first of these children was named Marie Barbara, born 1 Apr 1758. She doubtless was the same as or the twin of another daughter named Anna Barbara mentioned above as having been born on the same date. Another record shows, again, the birth of Marie Barbara, daughter of Michael Stocker born 1 Apr 1758; baptized 15 May 1758. Thus the church records contain three separate entries of the birth on 1 April 1758, of a daughter to Michael Stoker (Stocker) as follows: a. 'On 1 Apr. 1758 to Mich. Stocker et uxori Ana Barbara a daughter Anna Barbara. Witnesses (to baptism) Marie Barbara filia coelebs Michael Roemers.' Filia Coelebs means unmarried daughter of.' b. '1758, 1 April to Michael Stoker a daughter Marie Barbara, sponsored by Barbara Romerin, baptized 15 May 1758.' c. '1758, 1 April to Michael Stocker a daughter Marie Barbara, sponsored by Barbara Romerin, baptized 15 May 1758.' As already stated, page 552 of the church book records, on one single page, the birth of eight children to Michael Stocker the last child of whom, named George, was born 13 Nov 1781 and baptized 7 Jun 1782. The first seven of these recordings obviously were made in 1769, the 8th having been put there in 1782 as will be explained later. Preceding the names of the 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th and 7th Child, the symbol ϯ was added to show, doubtless, that the child was deceased when the record was made. The record, on page 552 of the church records, is as follows: a. 1 April 1758, to Michael Stocker a child Marie Barbara; ϯ godmother, Barbara Romerin; baptized 15 May 1758. b. 1 Jan 1760, to Michael Stocker, a child Johana Magdale, godparents, Heinrich Hanth (and wife) Magdalena. Date of baptism not stated. (Note by JWH - On page 454 of the church record is shown the marriage on 2 Nov 1784 'by license' of Johanna Magdalena Stockern and Johann Jost Stimmel, Michael Stocker, Peter Stimmel and John and Peter Schnog serving as witnesses.) c. 20 May 1762, to Michael Stocker, a child Michael; godparents Michael Romer (and wife) Charlotte Amalia, (Amalis).

(Note by JWH - This writer believes that this was the Michael Stocker who married Catherine Eller.) d. 26 Aug 1764, to Michael Stocker, a child, Elizabeth; ϯ godmother, Elizabeth Romerin. Date of baptism not stated. e. 24 May 1767, to Michael Stocker, a child Balthasar; ϯ godparents, Balthsar Bock (and wife) Rosina. Date of baptism not stated. f and g. 11 gbr 1769 (two children) to Michael Stocker, namely a child Marie Barbara; godparents, Johannes Haas (and wife) Mar. Barbara, and a child Christina; godmother, Christina Romerin, ledig, meaning unmarried. Baptized 19 gbr. 1769. (Note gbr is usually an abbreviation in German for born but in this case probably means November of possibly February.) h. 13 Nov 1781, to Michael Stocker, a child, George; sponsor George Bens. Baptized 7 Jun 1782. The above record of children of Michael Stocker, together with others shown below are interesting in two ways. First it will be noted that one of the sponsors in every case bore the same given name as the child. It was a custom in early German families to select as godmother or godfather of children being baptized the person for whom the child was named, usually a close relative and in some cases a respected friend. Second, as was shown by the first record quoted above and as will be shown by other records quoted below, Michael Stoker's wife as late as 24 March 1766 (Deed Record) was Barbara and as early as 12 April 1770 (Deed Record) was Elizabeth. That these two wives, Barbara and Elizabeth, were spouses of the same Michael Stocker is definitely established by the land records of Frederick County but, as the two next following church records show, Michael Stocker's full name was Joh. (John) Michael Stoker. a. Page 564 of the translated church records at Maryland Hist. Soc. - Johannes, son of Joh. Michael and Elizabeth Stoker, b. 4 Jan 1772 and baptized 9 Feb 1772. (Note by JWH - p. 233 of the church records show that Johannes Stocker, aged 19, was confirmed on 22 Apr 1791. A translated record of the German Reformed Church of Frederick Co., Md., p. 196, found at the Gen. Soc. in SLC shows a child Marianna Stocker, was born to Johannes and Catherina Stocker 10 Aug 1809. Susan Kuntz (Frentz) was her godmother. A Catherina Stoker (sic) is mentioned as a dau. in the will of John Coons (sic) of Frederick Co., Md. dated 23 Dec. 1816 and proved 6 Mch. 1817. (Liber H.S, No. 2, p. 55, Frederick Co., Md. Wills.)) b. Page 591 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen. Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City - Marie Salome, dau. of Michael and Elizabeth Stocker b. 9 May 1773; bap. 27 June 1773. Her godparents were John Michel and Salome Alex (sic). c. Page 617 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at Maryland Hist. Society [Baltimore] - Marie Barbara, dau. of Joh. Michael and Elizabeth Stoker, b. 23 Dec 1774; bapt. 16 Apr 1775. Her godparents were Johannes and Marie Barbara Hass. d. Pages 638 and 1017 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen. Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City - Eva Margreth, dau. of Michael and Elizabeth Stocker, b. 22 Jul 1776; bap. 10 Nov 1776. Her godparents were Jacob and Margreth Bens. This child died 12 Sept. 1777, aged 1 year. One may wonder why these four children were not listed with other children of Michael Stoker on page 552 of the church record (supra). After mentioning seven additional, more or less pertinent, translate church records the reason for this, as this writer sees it will be explained. a. Page 407 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at Maryland Hist. Society, Baltimore, it is shown that Michael Stoker and Mary Adams were married, by license, 21 Jun 1778. The witnesses were Abraham Fah and his wife Juliana and Adam and Peter Schnock. Frederick Co. Marriage Records show that Michael Stoker and Mary A___, the spelling not complete, on 1 Jun 1778, were given a license to be married. b. Page 209 [of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at Maryland Hist. Society, Baltimore] shows that Michael Stoker born 24 May 1862 and Magdalena Stockern (sic) born 1 Jan 1760 were confirmed. These two were brother and sister, children of Michael and Barbara Stoker (Stocker), their birth dates in their confirmation checking substantially with those recorded on page 552 of the same translated church record. c. Page 664 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen. Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City shows that Anna Margareth, daughter of Michael and Anna Marie Stocker was born 15 May 1779 and baptized 24 July 1779. Her godparents were Adam and Anna Margareth Schnock. d. Page 686 [of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen. Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City ] shows that Marie Catharina, daughter of Michael and Anna Maria Stocker was born 4 Sept. 1780. e. Page 752 [of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen. Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City] shows that Jacob, son of Michael and Anna Maria Stocker, was born 22 May 1785. His sponsors at baptism were his parents. f. Page 113 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen. Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City, Utah, shows that Charlotte, daughter of Michael Stocker, was born 19 Feb 1788. Her mother's name was not given. Her godparents were Peter and Julia (Juliana) Schnock (Schnod). g. Page 1017 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen. Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City shows that Elizabeth, wife of Michael Stoker died 10 Oct 1777 at the age of 33 years. It should be kept in mind that the only Stoker (Stocker) family found in the early church, land or court records of Frederick County, Maryland was one headed by Michael. The only suggestion of a Stoker of Stocker of another given name was the same Michael in the recordings of his children by his second wife, Elizabeth. In those recordings he was called Joh. Michael Stoker. Deed Records in Frederick Co., calling him a saddler in every case and showing his wife to have been Barbara in March 1766 and Elizabeth in April 1770 proves the two Michaels to have been the same person. The second wife, Elizabeth, died 10 Oct 1777 at the age of 33. On 21 Jun 1778 he married Mary (Marie) Adams as already shown. This writer explains the one page record that is found of Michael Stoker's (Stocker) children in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick Co., Md. as follows. When his first two daughters (twins probably) were born he had them baptized or recorded as they were born. When his twins, Marie Barbara and Christina were born in 1769 he had them baptized and recorded and when this was being done he decided to record all of his other children, four of whom had not been recorded, naming their godparents from memory. This would account for all of these children appearing on one page where immediately prior entries were 1769 and immediate subsequent ones 1770. When children of his second wife, Elizabeth, came he had them baptized and recorded. Apparently there were four of them, one named Johannes, b. 4 Jan 1772, another named Marie Salome, b. 9 May 1773, the third was Marie Barbara b. 23 Dec 1774 and the fourth Eva Margreth b. 22 Jul 1776 - d. 12 Sep 1777. Then on 10 Oct 1777 his wife, Elizabeth, aged 33, died and on 21 Jun 1778 he married Mary (Marie) Adams, his third wife. The first child of the third marriage was Anna Margareth, b. 15 May 1779. She was baptized and recorded. The second child by this third marriage was Marie Catherina, born 4 Sep 1780 and bapt. 4 March (May) 1781. She probably died young. The fourth child was Georg b. 13 Nov 1781. This child was baptized 7 Jun 1782 and the baptism recorded not on the current page of the record book but squeezed in on the 1769/1770 page where other children of Michael Stoker (Stocker) had been recorded enmasse. Thus we have on the 1769/1770 page of the church book a record of eight children of Michael Stoker (Stocker) born between 1758 and 1782 appearing on that page with other children of his who were born after 1769 appearing on other pages. The fact that his son Georg was so recorded is pretty conclusive proof that all of the eight Stoker (Stocker) children on that one page had the same father. The symbol ϯ apparently was to indicate that the child was deceased and, doubtless, was inserted when the baptism of the son George was recorded. Other entries in the church records show Michael Stocker (Stoker) and his wife, Anna Maria, had two other children, one named Jacob, b. 22 May 1785, and the other named Charlotte, b. 19 Feb 1788, making 17 children as follows: By first wife Barbara: 1. Anna Barbara Stocker, b. 1 Apr 1758. She died young. 2. Marie Barbara Stocker, b. 1 Apr 1758, the same as or twin of [Anna Barbara]. She died young. 3. Johana Magdale Stocker, b. 1 Jan 1760. 4. Michael Stocker, Jr., b. 20 May 1762 (24 May 1762 or 24 Mar 1762). 5. Elizabeth Stocker, b. 26 Aug 1764. She died young. 6. Balthasar Stocker, b. 24 May 1767. He died young. 7. Marie Barbara Stocker, b. 11 ??? 1769. [Twin of Christina.] She died young. 8. Christina Stocker, b. 11 ??? 1769. Twin of [Marie Barbara]. She died young. By second wife Elizabeth: 9. Johannes Stocker, b. 4 Jan 1772. 10. Marie Solome Stocker, b. 9 May 1773. 11. Marie Barbara Stocker, b. 25 Dec 1774. 12. Eva Margreth Stocker, b. 22 Jul 1776, d. 12 Sep 1777. By third wife Anna Marie Adams: 13. Anna Margareth Stocker, b. 15 May 1779. 14. Marie Catherina Stocker, b. 4 Sep 1780. 15. George Stocker, b. 13 Nov. 1781, bapt. 2 Jun 1782. 16. Jacob Stocker, b. 22 May 1785. 17. Charlotte Stocker, b. 19 Feb 1788. [Note: James Hook totally missed one child, Eva Catherina, who was born between George and Jacob; see her notes for church record documentation.] 4.

They settled approximately 60 miles south of his father's family. In the early 1830's Michael and his family joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, left Ohio, and moved west. He died in the Missouri. Jacob married Mary Swinehart. John married Catherine Koons.

It is possible that Georg was not alive in 1790. There are no church records for Georg in Frederick except for that of his birth and baptism. In the original hand written record a cross mark has been put next to all deceased Stocker Children. Georg's record also has this mark next to it that he was deceased at the time the record was made. Georg is also missing from the will of his father Michael Stocker. Next on the census record is the listing of seven white, free, females but they are not separated by ages. These individuals should be: Wife- Mary (Anna Maria) Maria Barbara- age 16 (Elizabeth's daughter) Marie Salome- age 17 (Elizabeth's daughter) Anna Margareth- age 11 (Mary's daughter) Marie Catherine (Mary)- age 10 (Mary's daughter) Eva Catherina- age 6 (Mary's daughter) Charlotta- age 2 (Mary's daughter) Johanna Magdalena is not listed on the census with this family as she married (Yost) Jost Stimmel in 1784." 7.

It was recorded on 12 April 1770, when they sold a five foot strip of a lot (Deed Book N p. 90). In putting together the family of Michael and Elizabeth Stocker, the date that James Hook uses leaves many questions as to who and if the first two children were twins and who was their mother. He list Maria Barbara born in May of 1769 and Christina in September. If Michael married Elizabeth in Feb of 1769 it would have been unlikely that Maria was born in May, but not impossible. However it is highly unlikely that a second child would be born only four months later. In Frederick Wieser's translation of the Maryland German Church Records Vol 3 he stated that the two girls were born in September and were twins. On the hand written record under the heading {Bapt. Mar. 26, 27- Festival of the Resurrection [1769]} it lists the two girls but with the dates as James Hook translated it and does not list them as twins.

Hook, 1957, also on FHL film 896571, item 2, pp. 88-97: "Michael Stoker, doubtless, was the son of Michael Stoker (Stocker) who settled in Frederick Co., Md. about the middle of the 18th century. No other family of the Stoker (Stocker) name was found by this writer in any of the early Frederick Co. records. The 18th century translated records of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. established about 1746, show many Michael Stoker (Stocker) entries beginning with the birth, on 1 Apr 1758, of Anna Barbara, daughter of 'Mich. Stocker' and his wife 'Ana Barb.' On p. 552 of a copy of these church records, now in possession of the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore, Maryland, will be found a recording of eight children of Michael Stocker, the youngest named George, born 13 Nov 1781. The first of these children was named Marie Barbara, born 1 Apr 1758. She doubtless was the same as or the twin of another daughter named Anna Barbara mentioned above as having been born on the same date. Another record shows, again, the birth of Marie Barbara, daughter of Michael Stocker born 1 Apr 1758; baptized 15 May 1758. Thus the church records contain three separate entries of the birth on 1 April 1758, of a daughter to Michael Stoker (Stocker) as follows: a. 'On 1 Apr. 1758 to Mich. Stocker et uxori Ana Barbara a daughter Anna Barbara. Witnesses (to baptism) Marie Barbara filia coelebs Michael Roemers.' Filia Coelebs means unmarried daughter of.' b. '1758, 1 April to Michael Stoker a daughter Marie Barbara, sponsored by Barbara Romerin, baptized 15 May 1758.' c. '1758, 1 April to Michael Stocker a daughter Marie Barbara, sponsored by Barbara Romerin, baptized 15 May 1758.' As already stated, page 552 of the church book records, on one single page, the birth of eight children to Michael Stocker the last child of whom, named George, was born 13 Nov 1781 and baptized 7 Jun 1782. The first seven of these recordings obviously were made in 1769, the 8th having been put there in 1782 as will be explained later. Preceding the names of the 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th and 7th Child, the symbol ϯ was added to show, doubtless, that the child was deceased when the record was made. The record, on page 552 of the church records, is as follows: a. 1 April 1758, to Michael Stocker a child Marie Barbara; ϯ godmother, Barbara Romerin; baptized 15 May 1758. b. 1 Jan 1760, to Michael Stocker, a child Johana Magdale, godparents, Heinrich Hanth (and wife) Magdalena. Date of baptism not stated. (Note by JWH - On page 454 of the church record is shown the marriage on 2 Nov 1784 'by license' of Johanna Magdalena Stockern and Johann Jost Stimmel, Michael Stocker, Peter Stimmel and John and Peter Schnog serving as witnesses.) c. 20 May 1762, to Michael Stocker, a child Michael; godparents Michael Romer (and wife) Charlotte Amalia, (Amalis). Date of baptism not stated. (Note by JWH - This writer believes that this was the Michael Stocker who married Catherine Eller.) d. 26 Aug 1764, to Michael Stocker, a child, Elizabeth; ϯ godmother, Elizabeth Romerin. Date of baptism not stated. e. 24 May 1767, to Michael Stocker, a child Balthasar; ϯ godparents, Balthsar Bock (and wife) Rosina. Date of baptism not stated. f and g. 11 gbr 1769 (two children) to Michael Stocker, namely a child Marie Barbara; godparents, Johannes Haas (and wife) Mar. Barbara, and a child Christina; godmother, Christina Romerin, ledig, meaning unmarried. Baptized 19 gbr. 1769. (Note gbr is usually an abbreviation in German for born but in this case probably means November of possibly February.) h. 13 Nov 1781, to Michael Stocker, a child, George; sponsor George Bens. Baptized 7 Jun 1782. The above record of children of Michael Stocker, together with others shown below are interesting in two ways. First it will be noted that one of the sponsors in every case bore the same given name as the child. It was a custom in early German families to select as godmother or godfather of children being baptized the person for whom the child was named, usually a close relative and in some cases a respected friend. Second, as was shown by the first record quoted above and as will be shown by other records quoted below, Michael Stoker's wife as late as 24 March 1766 (Deed Record) was Barbara and as early as 12 April 1770 (Deed Record) was Elizabeth. That these two wives, Barbara and Elizabeth, were spouses of the same Michael Stocker is definitely established by the land records of Frederick County but, as the two next following church records show, Michael Stocker's full name was Joh. (John) Michael Stoker. a. Page 564 of the translated church records at Maryland Hist. Soc. - Johannes, son of Joh. Michael and Elizabeth Stoker, b. 4 Jan 1772 and baptized 9 Feb 1772. (Note by JWH - p. 233 of the church records show that Johannes Stocker, aged 19, was confirmed on 22 Apr 1791. A translated record of the German Reformed Church of Frederick Co., Md., p. 196, found at the Gen. Soc. in SLC shows a child Marianna Stocker, was born to Johannes and Catherina Stocker 10 Aug 1809. Susan Kuntz (Frentz) was her godmother. A Catherina Stoker (sic) is mentioned as a dau. in the will of John Coons (sic) of Frederick Co., Md. dated 23 Dec. 1816 and proved 6 Mch. 1817. (Liber H.S, No. 2, p. 55, Frederick Co., Md. Wills.)) b. Page 591 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen.

Her godparents were John Michel and Salome Alex (sic). c. Page 617 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at Maryland Hist.

Her godparents were Jacob and Margreth Bens. This child died 12 Sept. 1777, aged 1 year. One may wonder why these four children were not listed with other children of Michael Stoker on page 552 of the church record (supra). After mentioning seven additional, more or less pertinent, translate church records the reason for this, as this writer sees it will be explained. a. Page 407 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at Maryland Hist. Society, Baltimore, it is shown that Michael Stoker and Mary Adams were married, by license, 21 Jun 1778. The witnesses were Abraham Fah and his wife Juliana and Adam and Peter Schnock. Frederick Co. Marriage Records show that Michael Stoker and Mary A___, the spelling not complete, on 1 Jun 1778, were given a license to be married. b. Page 209 [of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at Maryland Hist. Society, Baltimore] shows that Michael Stoker born 24 May 1862 and Magdalena Stockern (sic) born 1 Jan 1760 were confirmed. These two were brother and sister, children of Michael and Barbara Stoker (Stocker), their birth dates in their confirmation checking substantially with those recorded on page 552 of the same translated church record. c. Page 664 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen. Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City shows that Anna Margareth, daughter of Michael and Anna Marie Stocker was born 15 May 1779 and baptized 24 July 1779. Her godparents were Adam and Anna Margareth Schnock. d. Page 686 [of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen. Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City ] shows that Marie Catharina, daughter of Michael and Anna Maria Stocker was born 4 Sept. 1780. e. Page 752 [of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen. Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City] shows that Jacob, son of Michael and Anna Maria Stocker, was born 22 May 1785. His sponsors at baptism were his parents. f. Page 113 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen. Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City, Utah, shows that Charlotte, daughter of Michael Stocker, was born 19 Feb 1788. Her mother's name was not given. Her godparents were Peter and Julia (Juliana) Schnock (Schnod). g. Page 1017 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen. Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City shows that Elizabeth, wife of Michael Stoker died 10 Oct 1777 at the age of 33 years. It should be kept in mind that the only Stoker (Stocker) family found in the early church, land or court records of Frederick County, Maryland was one headed by Michael. The only suggestion of a Stoker of Stocker of another given name was the same Michael in the recordings of his children by his second wife, Elizabeth. In those recordings he was called Joh. Michael Stoker. Deed Records in Frederick Co., calling him a saddler in every case and showing his wife to have been Barbara in March 1766 and Elizabeth in April 1770 proves the two Michaels to have been the same person. The second wife, Elizabeth, died 10 Oct 1777 at the age of 33. On 21 Jun 1778 he married Mary (Marie) Adams as already shown. This writer explains the one page record that is found of Michael Stoker's (Stocker) children in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick Co., Md. as follows. When his first two daughters (twins probably) were born he had them baptized or recorded as they were born. When his twins, Marie Barbara and Christina were born in 1769 he had them baptized and recorded and when this was being done he decided to record all of his other children, four of whom had not been recorded, naming their godparents from memory. This would account for all of these children appearing on one page where immediately prior entries were 1769 and immediate subsequent ones 1770. When children of his second wife, Elizabeth, came he had them baptized and recorded. Apparently there were four of them, one named Johannes, b. 4 Jan 1772, another named Marie Salome, b. 9 May 1773, the third was Marie Barbara b. 23 Dec 1774 and the fourth Eva Margreth b. 22 Jul 1776 - d. 12 Sep 1777. Then on 10 Oct 1777 his wife, Elizabeth, aged 33, died and on 21 Jun 1778 he married Mary (Marie) Adams, his third wife. The first child of the third marriage was Anna Margareth, b. 15 May 1779. She was baptized and recorded. The second child by this third marriage was Marie Catherina, born 4 Sep 1780 and bapt. 4 March (May) 1781. She probably died young. The fourth child was Georg b. 13 Nov 1781. This child was baptized 7 Jun 1782 and the baptism recorded not on the current page of the record book but squeezed in on the 1769/1770 page where other children of Michael Stoker (Stocker) had been recorded enmasse. Thus we have on the 1769/1770 page of the church book a record of eight children of Michael Stoker (Stocker) born between 1758 and 1782 appearing on that page with other children of his who were born after 1769 appearing on other pages. The fact that his son Georg was so recorded is pretty conclusive proof that all of the eight Stoker (Stocker) children on that one page had the same father. The symbol ϯ apparently was to indicate that the child was deceased and, doubtless, was inserted when the baptism of the son George was recorded. Other entries in the church records show Michael Stocker (Stoker) and his wife, Anna Maria, had two other children, one named Jacob, b. 22 May 1785, and the other named Charlotte, b. 19 Feb 1788, making 17 children as follows: By first wife Barbara: 1. Anna Barbara Stocker, b. 1 Apr 1758. She died young. 2. Marie Barbara Stocker, b. 1 Apr 1758, the same as or twin of [Anna Barbara]. She died young. 3. Johana Magdale Stocker, b. 1 Jan 1760. 4. Michael Stocker, Jr., b. 20 May 1762 (24 May 1762 or 24 Mar 1762). 5. Elizabeth Stocker, b. 26 Aug 1764. She died young. 6. Balthasar Stocker, b. 24 May 1767. He died young. 7. Marie Barbara Stocker, b. 11 ??? 1769. [Twin of Christina.] She died young. 8. Christina Stocker, b. 11 ??? 1769. Twin of [Marie Barbara]. She died young. By second wife Elizabeth: 9. Johannes Stocker, b. 4 Jan 1772. 10. Marie Solome Stocker, b. 9 May 1773. 11. Marie Barbara Stocker, b. 25 Dec 1774. 12. Eva Margreth Stocker, b. 22 Jul 1776, d. 12 Sep 1777. By third wife Anna Marie Adams: 13. Anna Margareth Stocker, b. 15 May 1779. 14. Marie Catherina Stocker, b. 4 Sep 1780. 15. George Stocker, b. 13 Nov. 1781, bapt. 2 Jun 1782. 16. Jacob Stocker, b. 22 May 1785. 17. Charlotte Stocker, b. 19 Feb 1788.

It is possible that Georg was not alive in 1790. There are no church records for Georg in Frederick except for that of his birth and baptism. In the original hand written record a cross mark has been put next to all deceased Stocker Children. Georg's record also has this mark next to it that he was deceased at the time the record was made. Georg is also missing from the will of his father Michael Stocker. Next on the census record is the listing of seven white, free, females but they are not separated by ages. These individuals should be: Wife- Mary (Anna Maria) Maria Barbara- age 16 (Elizabeth's daughter) Marie Salome- age 17 (Elizabeth's daughter) Anna Margareth- age 11 (Mary's daughter) Marie Catherine (Mary)- age 10 (Mary's daughter) Eva Catherina- age 6 (Mary's daughter) Charlotta- age 2 (Mary's daughter) Johanna Magdalena is not listed on the census with this family as she married (Yost) Jost Stimmel in 1784." 7.

Mentioned in father's will dated 10 May 1818: "my sons, Jacob, Michael and John and my daughters, Mary, Catherine, Charlotte, Margaret, Barbara, Salome and Magdalene," See full quotation in his notes. He also leaves the following land: "I do ordain and will and declare that the tract of land which I purchased of Fred Mains, Jr. shall be the property in fee simple of my first two named daughters, Mary and Charlotte, and do hereby will and bequeath the same to them equally, but my beloved wife Mary, shall have the use of it during her life." Since the will was written in Somerset, Perry, Ohio, I would assume the land would be there. Also Charlotte shows up in Somerset in later censuses. I believe Maria Catherina to be the Mary referred to in the will because the only other living Marias at that time were Maria Salome and Maria Barbara, both of whom are referred to in the will be their middle names. I have also seen where Anna Margareth may also be referred to as Mary; however, for purposes of the will, she appears to be named as Margaret. 2.

Hook, 1957, also on FHL film 896571, item 2, pp. 88-97: "Michael Stoker, doubtless, was the son of Michael Stoker (Stocker) who settled in Frederick Co., Md. about the middle of the 18th century. No other family of the Stoker (Stocker) name was found by this writer in any of the early Frederick Co. records. The 18th century translated records of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. established about 1746, show many Michael Stoker (Stocker) entries beginning with the birth, on 1 Apr 1758, of Anna Barbara, daughter of 'Mich. Stocker' and his wife 'Ana Barb.' On p. 552 of a copy of these church records, now in possession of the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore, Maryland, will be found a recording of eight children of Michael Stocker, the youngest named George, born 13 Nov 1781. The first of these children was named Marie Barbara, born 1 Apr 1758. She doubtless was the same as or the twin of another daughter named Anna Barbara mentioned above as having been born on the same date. Another record shows, again, the birth of Marie Barbara, daughter of Michael Stocker born 1 Apr 1758; baptized 15 May 1758. Thus the church records contain three separate entries of the birth on 1 April 1758, of a daughter to Michael Stoker (Stocker) as follows: a. 'On 1 Apr. 1758 to Mich. Stocker et uxori Ana Barbara a daughter Anna Barbara. Witnesses (to baptism) Marie Barbara filia coelebs Michael Roemers.' Filia Coelebs means unmarried daughter of.' b. '1758, 1 April to Michael Stoker a daughter Marie Barbara, sponsored by Barbara Romerin, baptized 15 May 1758.' c. '1758, 1 April to Michael Stocker a daughter Marie Barbara, sponsored by Barbara Romerin, baptized 15 May 1758.' As already stated, page 552 of the church book records, on one single page, the birth of eight children to Michael Stocker the last child of whom, named George, was born 13 Nov 1781 and baptized 7 Jun 1782. The first seven of these recordings obviously were made in 1769, the 8th having been put there in 1782 as will be explained later. Preceding the names of the 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th and 7th Child, the symbol ϯ was added to show, doubtless, that the child was deceased when the record was made. The record, on page 552 of the church records, is as follows: a. 1 April 1758, to Michael Stocker a child Marie Barbara; ϯ godmother, Barbara Romerin; baptized 15 May 1758. b. 1 Jan 1760, to Michael Stocker, a child Johana Magdale, godparents, Heinrich Hanth (and wife) Magdalena. Date of baptism not stated. (Note by JWH - On page 454 of the church record is shown the marriage on 2 Nov 1784 'by license' of Johanna Magdalena Stockern and Johann Jost Stimmel, Michael Stocker, Peter Stimmel and John and Peter Schnog serving as witnesses.) c. 20 May 1762, to Michael Stocker, a child Michael; godparents Michael Romer (and wife) Charlotte Amalia, (Amalis). Date of baptism not stated. (Note by JWH - This writer believes that this was the Michael Stocker who married Catherine Eller.) d. 26 Aug 1764, to Michael Stocker, a child, Elizabeth; ϯ godmother, Elizabeth Romerin. Date of baptism not stated. e. 24 May 1767, to Michael Stocker, a child Balthasar; ϯ godparents, Balthsar Bock (and wife) Rosina. Date of baptism not stated. f and g. 11 gbr 1769 (two children) to Michael Stocker, namely a child Marie Barbara; godparents, Johannes Haas (and wife) Mar. Barbara, and a child Christina; godmother, Christina Romerin, ledig, meaning unmarried. Baptized 19 gbr. 1769. (Note gbr is usually an abbreviation in German for born but in this case probably means November of possibly February.) h. 13 Nov 1781, to Michael Stocker, a child, George; sponsor George Bens. Baptized 7 Jun 1782. The above record of children of Michael Stocker, together with others shown below are interesting in two ways. First it will be noted that one of the sponsors in every case bore the same given name as the child. It was a custom in early German families to select as godmother or godfather of children being baptized the person for whom the child was named, usually a close relative and in some cases a respected friend. Second, as was shown by the first record quoted above and as will be shown by other records quoted below, Michael Stoker's wife as late as 24 March 1766 (Deed Record) was Barbara and as early as 12 April 1770 (Deed Record) was Elizabeth. That these two wives, Barbara and Elizabeth, were spouses of the same Michael Stocker is definitely established by the land records of Frederick County but, as the two next following church records show, Michael Stocker's full name was Joh. (John) Michael Stoker. a. Page 564 of the translated church records at Maryland Hist. Soc. - Johannes, son of Joh. Michael and Elizabeth Stoker, b. 4 Jan 1772 and baptized 9 Feb 1772. (Note by JWH - p. 233 of the church records show that Johannes Stocker, aged 19, was confirmed on 22 Apr 1791. A translated record of the German Reformed Church of Frederick Co., Md., p. 196, found at the Gen. Soc. in SLC shows a child Marianna Stocker, was born to Johannes and Catherina Stocker 10 Aug 1809. Susan Kuntz (Frentz) was her godmother. A Catherina Stoker (sic) is mentioned as a dau. in the will of John Coons (sic) of Frederick Co., Md. dated 23 Dec. 1816 and proved 6 Mch. 1817. (Liber H.S, No. 2, p. 55, Frederick Co., Md. Wills.)) b. Page 591 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen. Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City - Marie Salome, dau. of Michael and Elizabeth Stocker b. 9 May 1773; bap. 27 June 1773. Her godparents were John Michel and Salome Alex (sic). c. Page 617 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at Maryland Hist. Society [Baltimore] - Marie Barbara, dau. of Joh. Michael and Elizabeth Stoker, b. 23 Dec 1774; bapt. 16 Apr 1775. Her godparents were Johannes and Marie Barbara Hass. d. Pages 638 and 1017 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen. Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City - Eva Margreth, dau. of Michael and Elizabeth Stocker, b. 22 Jul 1776; bap. 10 Nov 1776. Her godparents were Jacob and Margreth Bens. This child died 12 Sept. 1777, aged 1 year. One may wonder why these four children were not listed with other children of Michael Stoker on page 552 of the church record (supra). After mentioning seven additional, more or less pertinent, translate church records the reason for this, as this writer sees it will be explained. a. Page 407 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at Maryland Hist. Society, Baltimore, it is shown that Michael Stoker and Mary Adams were married, by license, 21 Jun 1778. The witnesses were Abraham Fah and his wife Juliana and Adam and Peter Schnock. Frederick Co. Marriage Records show that Michael Stoker and Mary A___, the spelling not complete, on 1 Jun 1778, were given a license to be married. b. Page 209 [of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at Maryland Hist. Society, Baltimore] shows that Michael Stoker born 24 May 1862 and Magdalena Stockern (sic) born 1 Jan 1760 were confirmed. These two were brother and sister, children of Michael and Barbara Stoker (Stocker), their birth dates in their confirmation checking substantially with those recorded on page 552 of the same translated church record. c. Page 664 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen. Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City shows that Anna Margareth, daughter of Michael and Anna Marie Stocker was born 15 May 1779 and baptized 24 July 1779. Her godparents were Adam and Anna Margareth Schnock. d. Page 686 [of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen. Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City ] shows that Marie Catharina, daughter of Michael and Anna Maria Stocker was born 4 Sept. 1780. e. Page 752 [of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen. Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City] shows that Jacob, son of Michael and Anna Maria Stocker, was born 22 May 1785. His sponsors at baptism were his parents. f. Page 113 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen. Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City, Utah, shows that Charlotte, daughter of Michael Stocker, was born 19 Feb 1788. Her mother's name was not given. Her godparents were Peter and Julia (Juliana) Schnock (Schnod). g. Page 1017 of the translated record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. at the Gen. Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City shows that Elizabeth, wife of Michael Stoker died 10 Oct 1777 at the age of 33 years. It should be kept in mind that the only Stoker (Stocker) family found in the early church, land or court records of Frederick County, Maryland was one headed by Michael. The only suggestion of a Stoker of Stocker of another given name was the same Michael in the recordings of his children by his second wife, Elizabeth. In those recordings he was called Joh. Michael Stoker. Deed Records in Frederick Co., calling him a saddler in every case and showing his wife to have been Barbara in March 1766 and Elizabeth in April 1770 proves the two Michaels to have been the same person. The second wife, Elizabeth, died 10 Oct 1777 at the age of 33. On 21 Jun 1778 he married Mary (Marie) Adams as already shown. This writer explains the one page record that is found of Michael Stoker's (Stocker) children in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick Co., Md. as follows. When his first two daughters (twins probably) were born he had them baptized or recorded as they were born. When his twins, Marie Barbara and Christina were born in 1769 he had them baptized and recorded and when this was being done he decided to record all of his other children, four of whom had not been recorded, naming their godparents from memory. This would account for all of these children appearing on one page where immediately prior entries were 1769 and immediate subsequent ones 1770. When children of his second wife, Elizabeth, came he had them baptized and recorded. Apparently there were four of them, one named Johannes, b. 4 Jan 1772, another named Marie Salome, b. 9 May 1773, the third was Marie Barbara b. 23 Dec 1774 and the fourth Eva Margreth b. 22 Jul 1776 - d. 12 Sep 1777. Then on 10 Oct 1777 his wife, Elizabeth, aged 33, died and on 21 Jun 1778 he married Mary (Marie) Adams, his third wife. The first child of the third marriage was Anna Margareth, b. 15 May 1779. She was baptized and recorded. The second child by this third marriage was Marie Catherina, born 4 Sep 1780 and bapt. 4 March (May) 1781. She probably died young. The fourth child was Georg b. 13 Nov 1781. This child was baptized 7 Jun 1782 and the baptism recorded not on the current page of the record book but squeezed in on the 1769/1770 page where other children of Michael Stoker (Stocker) had been recorded enmasse. Thus we have on the 1769/1770 page of the church book a record of eight children of Michael Stoker (Stocker) born between 1758 and 1782 appearing on that page with other children of his who were born after 1769 appearing on other pages. The fact that his son Georg was so recorded is pretty conclusive proof that all of the eight Stoker (Stocker) children on that one page had the same father. The symbol ϯ apparently was to indicate that the child was deceased and, doubtless, was inserted when the baptism of the son George was recorded. Other entries in the church records show Michael Stocker (Stoker) and his wife, Anna Maria, had two other children, one named Jacob, b. 22 May 1785, and the other named Charlotte, b. 19 Feb 1788, making 17 children as follows: By first wife Barbara: 1. Anna Barbara Stocker, b. 1 Apr 1758. She died young. 2. Marie Barbara Stocker, b. 1 Apr 1758, the same as or twin of [Anna Barbara]. She died young. 3. Johana Magdale Stocker, b. 1 Jan 1760. 4. Michael Stocker, Jr., b. 20 May 1762 (24 May 1762 or 24 Mar 1762). 5. Elizabeth Stocker, b. 26 Aug 1764. She died young. 6. Balthasar Stocker, b. 24 May 1767. He died young. 7. Marie Barbara Stocker, b. 11 ??? 1769. [Twin of Christina.] She died young. 8. Christina Stocker, b. 11 ??? 1769. Twin of [Marie Barbara]. She died young. By second wife Elizabeth: 9. Johannes Stocker, b. 4 Jan 1772. 10. Marie Solome Stocker, b. 9 May 1773. 11. Marie Barbara Stocker, b. 25 Dec 1774. 12. Eva Margreth Stocker, b. 22 Jul 1776, d. 12 Sep 1777. By third wife Anna Marie Adams: 13. Anna Margareth Stocker, b. 15 May 1779. 14. Marie Catherina Stocker, b. 4 Sep 1780. 15. George Stocker, b. 13 Nov. 1781, bapt. 2 Jun 1782. 16. Jacob Stocker, b. 22 May 1785. 17. Charlotte Stocker, b. 19 Feb 1788.

They settled approximately 60 miles south of his father's family. In the early 1830's Michael and his family joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, left Ohio, and moved west. He died in the Missouri. Jacob married Mary Swinehart. John married Catherine Koons.

It is possible that Georg was not alive in 1790. There are no church records for Georg in Frederick except for that of his birth and baptism. In the original hand written record a cross mark has been put next to all deceased Stocker Children. Georg's record also has this mark next to it that he was deceased at the time the record was made. Georg is also missing from the will of his father Michael Stocker. Next on the census record is the listing of seven white, free, females but they are not separated by ages. These individuals should be: Wife- Mary (Anna Maria) Maria Barbara- age 16 (Elizabeth's daughter) Marie Salome- age 17 (Elizabeth's daughter) Anna Margareth- age 11 (Mary's daughter) Marie Catherine (Mary)- age 10 (Mary's daughter) Eva Catherina- age 6 (Mary's daughter) Charlotta- age 2 (Mary's daughter) Johanna Magdalena is not listed on the census with this family as she married (Yost) Jost Stimmel in 1784." 6.

FHL book 929.273 "Some Descendants of Michael Stoker 1731-1819," compiled by Kathleen Stoker Overton (ca. 2003?), p. 62. This book does a good job of tracing several non-Mormon descendancy lines from the original immigrant. "Maria Catherina Stoker (Mary) Mary was born 4 September 1780 in Frederick, Maryland to Michael Stoker and his third wife, Anna Maria Adams. Her birth was recorded in records of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. She moved to Perry County, Ohio with her parents when a young woman. She did not marry and her Father made sure he left property and money in his will to care for her and she lived the remainder of her life in Reading Township. Mary wrote a will on 7 August 1839 and made John M Davis the executor. She left property and money to Allen O Binckley, Philander Binckley, George M Binckley and John Milton Binckley who are all children of her full sister Charlotte. She left one hundred dollars to George Hildebaugh the son of her sister Catherine. She willed and bequeathed four hundred dollars to her full brother Jacob Stoker and the balance of her estate real and personal to go to her sister Charlotte Binckley. Mary died on the 5 September 1839 and is buried in the Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery on Gay Street in Somerset, Perry County. Her tombstone says she was 48 years old at the time of her death. This does not match up with her birth date in Frederick County, Maryland. It is about 10 years off as it also is with her sister Charlotte.

There are two Lutheran Cemeteries within the town limits. The Stockers are buried in the oldest one located on Gay Street. Family researchers in 1971 noted that Michael's headstone was located near his daughter's (Mary) and John Binkcley's (Charlotta's husband). Today Michael's headstone cannot be found. Mary's is still standing and some of the Binckley family but many of them are sinking or being overgrown by the soft earth. A local historian, Mr. Bope, commented that the cemetery had suffered from serious vandalism and most of the old stones were deteriorated beyond rescue. There are no maps or directions of the cemetery but it is known to be a full cemetery. The church that was next to it is no longer in existence. It is presently surrounded by old and new homes." | Stoker, Maria Catherina (I2461)

Essex, England, Who Settled in Hartford and Windsor. By a Descendant. Robert White of Messing, yeoman, died in 1617. He was a rich man. He seems to have lived in Shalford in Essex most of the time from June 24th, 1585, the date of his marriage to Bridget Allgar, until a few months before his death. The baptisms of nearly all his children are there recorded, and also the marriage of his daughters - Mary in 1614 and Elizabeth in 1616. It was the home of his wife, where she was baptized March 11, 1562, and where her father, William Allgar the elder, was buried Aug. 2, 1575. Shalford is about two miles south of Wethersfield... According to his will, hereinafter given, he left surviving a wife Bridget; three sons - Daniel, Nathaniel and John who was his youngest Child; three married daughters - Sarah, Mary and Elizabeth; and two unmarried daughters-Bridget and Anna. As he makes his son Daniel joint executor with his wife, it may be inferred he was his eldest son, and possibly by a former wife. His wife Bridget was the mother of his other children, of whom Sarah, wife of James Bowtell of Little Sailinge in Essex, was the first born...

FHL book "Various Ancestral Lines … Goodwin and … Morgan …," by Frank Farnsworth Starr (1915; Hartford), pp. 395-399: "The Family of Robert White. Shalford, a small parish of Essex County, England, is located in the north middle section of the county, four and a half miles northwest of Braintree, the nearest railroad town, and has a population of about 700. The writer visited this parish in August 1891, made an examination of the Church Register which begins in 1558, and found many interesting items.

Of White's parentage and earlier history we have no knowledge. He seems to have resided at Shalford until after November 7, 1616, the date of the marriage of his daughter Elizabeth to William Goodwin then of Bocking, Essex County, later of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and other towns in New England. In May 1617, he was a resident of Messing in the same county when he made his will, and where he was buried on the 17th of June following. Thus far, there has not been discovered any record of the death of his wife Bridget, but she is supposed to be the person of that name, to whom one Nathaniel White of Faring, Essex County, in his will made June 9, 1623, left a life annuity of £ 10. (Commissary Court of London for Essex and Herts., vol. for 1623-4, 158.)

Four lineal genealogies of eastern Connecticut families…," by Bernice Andrews (Livingston) Rieg (Camden, Maine; Penobscot Press, 1991), pp. 183-87 [Note: I neglected to copy the source list.]: "Some productive inquiries into the English origins of John White were made by one of his descendants around the year 1900. John is understood to be the youngest child of ROBERTA WHITE, yeoman, well-to-do, born possibly in Messing, county Essex; he died there in 1617. Robert married in Shalford, county Essex, 24 Jun 1585, BRIDGET ALLGAR, where also she had been baptized on 11 Mch 1562, the daughter of William Allgar. Robert and Bridget seem to have lived in her native town or parish, Shalford, most of their married life.[1] Robert White was buried at Messing, 17 Jun 1617, less than three weeks after making his will, which provided for daughters Sarah (called the eldest; mar. James Bowtell), Mary (mar. Joseph Loomis), Elizabeth (mar. William Goodwin), Bridget White and Anna White, in that order; he then names sons Nathaniel and John, the latter being a minor and believed to be the youngest child; finally, he names his wife, Bridget, and his son, Daniel as joint executors.[2] Subsequently, Anna White married at Messing, 18 Oct 1620, John Porter; and John White married at the same place, 26 Dec 1622, Mary (Lev).[3] A sizeable portion of the White family moved from the Old World to New England in the Great Migration, and stayed near to one another in the new land.[4] Moreover, there clearly existed within the family, and with its in-laws, a sense of closeness, mutual support, and common interest. This is apparent from the respect and trust implied in assigned responsibilities, as illustrated in several legal instruments in which members of the family partook. For example, Robert White, wishing to assure sensible marriages for his children, Bridget, Anna and John, by his will conditioned receipt of their full inheritance upon approval of the intended spouse not only by his wife Bridget, but also by his "sonnes in law" Joseph Loomis and William Goodwin.[5] The father's high opinion of these two young men was well substantiated by their later careers as leaders in Windsor and Hartford in Connecticut. In the same vein, it is worth noting that the White children tried to stay together when they settled across the Altantic: when Joseph Loomis and John Porter occupied adjacent home lots in Windsor in 1639, their wives, Mary (White) Loomis and Anna (White) Porter, became next door neighbors.[6] The English shire of Essex was one of the prime centers for nonconformist preachers, and of course most of those who came to New England in the two decades after Robert White's death were following their inspiring preachers, often making the move as congregations. It's not surprising, then, to find in Robert White's will an early bequest for "...Mr. Richard Rogers preacher of gods word at Withersfield in Essex...,"[7] and study of the ecclesiastical jurisdictions of Essex discloses that the parish of Wethersfield adjoins that of Shalford, in the north central part of Essex. For Robert White to attend a lecture by Mr. Rogers, he may have had to travel no more than ten miles. Out of this moderately wealthy English family, comfortably settled in the shire of Essex, but imbued with nonconformist fervor, came the hard working, well liked and increasingly respected man who was to become an early, founding settler of no less than three new towns: Newtown (later Cambridge, Mass.), Hartford, and Hadley." | White, Daniel (I442)

In verifying the Parish Records, the Archdeacon's Transcript, and the Bishop's Transcript, there is no record of Sarah's baptism in the estimated time period of 1744 to 1746. 2. In verifying the Parish Records, the Archdeacon's Transcript, and the Bishop's Transcript, there is no evidence that there were two different James Clinches in this family. Some would have us believe that the first James bapt. 17 Oct 1742 was bur. 23 Mar 1748/1749 and the second James was baptized abt 1750 and bur. 27 Mar 1750. What we can confirm is the first baptism and the second burial making these two James actually just one person. Additionally, the burial record calls James as a son and not an infant of his parents. 3. In verifying the Parish Records, the Archdeacon's Transcript, and the Bishop's Transcript, there is no evidence that there were two different Elizabeth Clinches in this family. Some would have us believe that the first Elizabeth was bapt. 13 Dec 1730, the same day as Ann, and that this Elizabeth must have died before 1732 when another Elizabeth is christened into this family. There was only one that is correct is the latter one. The original Parish Record shows the entry in 1730 as Elizabeth which was then crossed out and corrected to say Ann. The Bishop's Transcript picked up Elizabeth and was not also corrected. The Archdeacon's Transcript is missing that year. MARRIAGE: 1.

Extraction of the family of William Clinch and Ann Knight from the Stockbury Parish Records (Parish Records FHL film 1473718, it. 2; Bishop's Transcripts FHL film 1737092, it. #3, and Archdeacon's Transcripts FHL film 1752235, #2 -- Note all films should be consulted for research in Stockbury because some are missing pages that others are not): -15 Oct 1774, Ann Clinch, wife of William, bur. -9 Feb 1779, William Clinch, Snr., bur. -16 Feb 1728/9, John Clinch s/o Will: and Ann, bap.; 9 May 1798, John Clinch bur. -13 Dec 1730, Ann Clinch d/o William and Ann, bap.; 1 Oct 1765, Ann Hales, wife of Stephen, bur. -No Elizabeth listed bapt. in 1730. -24 Sep 1732, Elizabeth Clinch d/o William and Ann, bap. -12 Oct 1735, William Clinch s/o William and Ann, bap.; 1 Oct 1809, William Clinch bur. -9 Jul 1738, Mary Clinch d/o William and Ann, bap. -21 Sep 1740, Margaret Clinch d/o William and Ann, bap.; 9 Aug 1741, Margaret Clinch d/o Willm. and Ann, bur. -17 Oct 1742, James Clinch s/o Will'm and Ann, bap.; 27 Mar 1750, James Clinch s/o William and Ann, bur. -No Sarah listed bapt. in 1744-1746; Sarah Banner, bur. 12 Feb 1808. -18 Sep 1748, Thomas Clinch s/o William and Ann, bap.; Thomas Clinch, bur. March 24, 1820, aged 72 years. Conclusions: 1. In verifying the Parish Records, the Archdeacon's Transcript, and the Bishop's Transcript, there is no record of Sarah's baptism in the estimated time period of 1744 to 1746. 2. In verifying the Parish Records, the Archdeacon's Transcript, and the Bishop's Transcript, there is no evidence that there were two different James Clinches in this family. Some would have us believe that the first James bapt. 17 Oct 1742 was bur. 23 Mar 1748/1749 and the second James was baptized abt 1750 and bur. 27 Mar 1750. What we can confirm is the first baptism and the second burial making these two James actually just one person. Additionally, the burial record calls James as a son and not an infant of his parents. 3. In verifying the Parish Records, the Archdeacon's Transcript, and the Bishop's Transcript, there is no evidence that there were two different Elizabeth Clinches in this family. Some would have us believe that the first Elizabeth was bapt. 13 Dec 1730, the same day as Ann, and that this Elizabeth must have died before 1732 when another Elizabeth is christened into this family. There was only one that is correct is the latter one. The original Parish Record shows the entry in 1730 as Elizabeth which was then crossed out and corrected to say Ann. The Bishop's Transcript picked up Elizabeth and was not also corrected. The Archdeacon's Transcript is missing that year. MARRIAGE: 1. Undocumented from member submittal in the Ordinance Index.

The Brenchley parish records show two marriages of Richard Gammon and Mary Knell. One is 29 Jul 1647. The other is 21 Jan 1657. In the latter record, the father of Mary is identified as Roger Knell, which makes the second Mary the one who was chr. 11 Mar 1631/2. The only other Mary Knell who was in the parish who could be the first wife was the sister of Roger Knell who was chr. 21 Mar 1624 which makes one Mary the aunt of the other. The first wife was buried in Brenchley 21 Feb 1654/5. Richard's parents were most likely the Richard Gammon who died in the early 1650s in Brenchley and the woman identified as the wife of Richard Gammon who died in 1650. 2. 1647 Marriage from online Brenchley church records: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1942-23569-45185-21?cc=1952887&wc=M62M-F29:252597701,252665801,252672901 Notes Richard Gammon was of Tudeley parish.

John Austin who married Elizabeth West was called John Austin Jr. in his 1674 marriage record. The other John Austin, the father, was the one chr. in Horsmonden in 1620, son of Benjamin, who married Jane James in 1647, was buried in 1689 with the name John Austin Sr. in Brenchley (with probate), had his older children chr. in Horsmonden with the youngest being chr. in Brenchley, and his wife Jane buried 1674 in Brenchley. When Jane died, she was identified as Jane the wife of John Austin the brick-striker which is the same profession with which he is named in his 1689 will. The two villages of Horsmonden and Brenchley are less than two miles apart. CHRISTENING: 1. There are no christening records that fit our John in Brenchley even though the marriage record says he was of Brenchley. He was probably born and christened in Horsmonden and then moved to Brenchley with his father when he was younger. The only xtracted indexed christening records for Horsmonden that show possible candidates of being our John are: -11 February 1643, John son of John and Rebeccha Austen - 8 March 1642, son of Richard and Anne Austyn We know from the will of John Austen who died in 1689, that our John is most likely his son -- so neither of the two entries above are applicable.

Family Group: -William Knight named as churchwarden 1616-1617. [No church records found for a William of this time period. Most likely the son William named in William Knight's will of 1573, which makes him the brother of James above.] Family Group -- Ingeram was chr. 6 Mar 1597 in Hougham to William Knight. He becomes the progenitor of many Knights in Stockbury. He is the son of William the churchwarden above. -25 Nov 1622, Ingeram Knight and Elizabeth Brenard, mar. -19 Oct 1623, Marye d of Ingeram Knight, bap. Family Group: This William is the one bapt. above in 1607 and who married Anne Knight in Hollingbourne in 1642. -5 Feb 1642/3, Richard s of William Knight and [blank] his wife, bap. Comments: The fact that William Knight, the churchwarden of 1616-17, was in Bicknor shows an association with the Knights of this parish, who are all closely related. We know from Ingeram's christening record in Hougham that his father was William Knight, which leads us to the conclusion that William the churchwarden is most likely his father since there was no known brother to Ingeram named William. William is most likely the brother of James of Bicknor and the son of the William and Jone as named in his father's will. Ingeram becomes the progenitor of many Knights in Stockbury. MARRIAGE: 1.

Evidence that ... Garret was the son of ... Gisbert is found in an indenture dated 11-13-1793 between Richard, Garret and Gisbert Longstreet on the one side and John Polon on the other, all of Shrewsbury Tp. referring to a piece of "meadow given in the last will and testament of the present grantors' grandfather Theophilus Longstreet to his two sons as joint partners Dereck Longstreet and Gisbert Longstreet, and from them the said Dereck Longstreet and Gisbert Longstreet, with more, was bequeathed to us." (This indenture is in the possession of Miss Martha Poland, Manasquan, NJ.) See also will #1001M of Theophilus in which he devised jointly to "Derrick and Gisbut" the plantation on the north side of the Manasquan River. In his will (Bk 8, p.123) dated 7-26-1818, Garret describes himself as "of Howell", the name of the new Tp in which Manasquan was located, and he names the three sons referred to below. The inventory of his estate was made 8-1-1818 (Bk E, p.134). There is a cem. inscr. at Brielle which reads "Lydia, wife of Garret Longstreet, d. 8-13-1812 [KP: tombstone reads 8/3/1812] aged 69.3.19". This would be the Lydia Barraclow whom Garret m. 12-16-1802 (Mar. B,. A, p.71), apparently a second wife in his old age. There are two other marriage records, either or both of which may be Garret's; the mar. lic. of 12-27-1763 to Catherine Smock (DAR Lin. Bk. 103, p.259) and to Catherine Lawrence 5-9-1761 (NJ Archives 22:243). The Shrewsbury Ratables list Garret from 1779 to 1794. He is probably the Garret appointed to the Committee of Observation in Shrewsbury 5-27-1775 (Misc.12, 10:600). According to DAR application papers, he was a "judge in the inferior court of common pleas" in 1814, and a captain of the militia in 1776. But the date of birth in the DAR papers (1750) seems to be in error. His children were: -Gisbert b. 1770 (DAR lin. supra) -Barnes -Hendrick” | Longstreet, Garret (I3045)
