Her father owned a large tract of land in Back Creek Valley, near Jones Spring, and was engaged in tilling the soil. He served his country in arms during the War of 1812 and later purchased a farm six miles north of Martinsburg, West Virginia, in the Shenandoah Valley, where he made his home for several years, and then gave it to his eldest son, buying a large tract of land at Little Georgetown on the Potomac River, twelve miles west of Shepherdstown. There he spent his remaining days in a huge limestone house where our subject [Catherine Riner] was born and reared. In the Riner family were five children, two sons and three daughters, namely: Henry, who married Elizabeth Couchman; Mary, who never married; Elizabeth, who married George Sperow; Catharine, mother of our subject, and David, who married Margaret Flagg.

Settled in Randolph (now Tucker) County in pioneer days and built a home on Horseshoe Run. He is buried in Bethel Cemetery, Tucker County. Cadet. Sixth Virginia, March 25, 1776; coronet, Third Continental Dragoons, February 6, 1777; taken prisoner at Tappan, September 27, 1778; lieutenant January 1, 1778, captain, November 1779; retained in Baylor?s Consolidated Regiment of Dragoons November 9, 1782, and served to end of war. Land bounty was received by Parsons for his military service _____________________________________________________ From: http://www.cfhg.org/allied/parsons/ WILLIAM PARSONS. William Parsons, first son of Thomas and Mary Rennick Parsons, was born in Hardy County, Virginia. He enlisted in the Revolutionary Army on the 6th day of February, 1777, in the 3rd Regiment, Light Dragoons, Continental troops; he was commissioned Lieutenant Nov. 1, 1777; then commissioned Captain, after the battle of Eutaw, South Carolina, by order of the War Department, and served under this commission for the balance of the war. In recognition of his services he was allotted three hundred acres of land and six hundred dollars. When he returned from the army, he was married and settled on the upper portion of his fathers plantation, later he moved with his wife and five children to Randolph County, Virginia, upon the land pre-empted by his father, Thomas Parsons Jr. At this time there was only a trail across the Allegheny Mountains to Fairfax Stone down Horse Shoe Run to where he expected to locate. Imagine what an undertaking it must have been to reach this land in the wilderness with all their household goods in a two-wheeled cart. The women and children were on horseback with babies in their laps. He built a log cabin and made a comfortable home for his family. Later he built a brick house, perhaps the first brick house in the County at that time. In those days it was considered a mansion, and today it stands as one of the old landmarks. He was a firm believer in education and together with his three brothers he employed a private tutor and gave his children a practical education. He was appointed County her. WILLIAM PARSONS' WILL. In the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty-eight, January 11th, I, William Parsons of Randolph County, and State of Virginia, in the presence of Almighty God and in my proper senses, do hereby make my last will and testament, after bequeathing my body to the dust and my soul to God that gave it, I bequeath my property in the following manner, namely: to Job Parsons, my eldest son, I bequeath this tract of land he now lives on; to Solomon, my second son, I bequeath my home place, that is the tract of land I now live on, except one-third of said place which I bequeath to Catherine Parsons, my wife, so long as she lives, to be surveyed off the lower end so as to embrace the house. To my daughters Elizabeth Taggart, Mary Taggart, Hannah Parsons, Nancy Daniels, Anis Milly and Malinda Parsons I bequeath one thousand dollars each with what I have paid and I may pay against my death to each, to be taken out of said sums, and the balance to be paid after my death. To my three eldest daughters above named I also bequeath a bed and reasonable clothing for said beds apiece, the rest of the household estate to be divided equally amongst the six daughters above named, except my desk I bequeath to Malinda at the appraisement as a part of her thousand, said bequeath not to take place until after the death of my wife. As to the rest of my movable property, I bequeath it in the following manner to be appraised by three disinterested appraisers to be given to my six daughters, (except the wagon Solomon is to have at the appraisement if he desires it) above named as a part of the thousand dollars I have bequeathed them; provided, nevertheless, if my daughters refuse to take the said property at the appraisement, then the property shall be put up for sale and any of my children may bid it off, and the property of said sale may be applied to paying said daughters their bequeath; provided, nevertheless, that said moveable property shall amount to more than the thousand dollars bequeathed to each of my six daughters, the said remaining property shall be divided equally amongst said six daughters above named. N. B. I reserve one horse and three cows out of my movable property for Catherine my wife during her lifetime, and then to be disposed of at her death as above directed. I further direct my administrators to prepare said property and appoint the time for division as soon as convenient. 6th--I bequeath the Island place or tract of land lying a little below my home place to Solomon Parsons, my second son. I also bequeath him a small tract of land against his place on the west side of Shavers Fork, or on the lower end of the place he now lives on. 7th--I further direct that Job Parsons and Solomon Parsons, my sons be appointed as administrators. 8th--I further bequeath my blacks, Titus to live with Catherine my wife and Solomon my son as long as he lives, and that he may be supported, as he is old. Buck, a negro man, and Emily, a negro woman, to live and labor for Catherine Parsons my wife as long as she lives, and at her death if Job and Solomon Parsons, my administrators, think they have not by their labor paid for what I gave for them they are to hire them out until they have paid for what I gave for them. If said Buck and Emily should have children they are to go free with them, and the profits of said hire to be equally divided and paid over to my six daughters above named, over and above the thousand dollars I bequeathed to each of them, and if after said Buck and Emily have paid for their price I paid, they and their children are to go free. I further direct that Solomon, my son, keep them and pay the hire if they have to be hired, and if he does not want to do so to hire them in the family if possible. N. B. Nevertheless, if there should be on hand at my decease a stock of drove cattle, they are to be fatted and sold to the best advantage by the executors. I further bequeath that Solomon and Job Parsons shall have, or my administrators, one year from the time of entering as administrators to commence the payment bequeathed to my daughters, they shall then pay $500.00 per year until all be paid.

| 104 | A Comstock Family William Comstock (1594-1679) Elizabeth Daniel (1607-?) William Comstock, son of William Comstock, was born in Culmstock, Devonshire, England. His baptismal record appears in Surname Index of Records for 1550-1636, St. Martins in the Field Church, London, England. The text is in Latin: Guilielmus Coomstocke baptized 4 July 1596 William married Elizabeth Daniel. She was a daughter of Henry Daniel. Henry Daniel was born about 1582 in Much Hadham, Hertford, England. He was a son of John Daniel and Elizabeth Pebite. William and Elizabeth had six children. The first three were born in England, and the three youngest were born in Connecticut: John Comstock 1624-1680 m. Abigail Chappell in 1661; died in Lyme CT Samuel Comstock 1628-1660 m. Ann Tucker in 1652; died in Providence RI Daniel Comstock 1629-1682 m. Palthiah Elderkin in 1653 Elizabeth Comstock 1633-1659 m. Edward Shipman in 1650; died in Saybrook CT William Comstock 1634-? Christopher Comstock 1635-1702 m. Hannah Platt in 1663; died in Norwalk CT The above data suggests that the family left for America about 1631 or '32. The following information on William Comstock comes from the book, A History and Genealogy of the Comstock Family in America by John Adams Comstock. Published by The Commonwealth Press, Inc., Los Angeles, CA, 1949. Book found in Ft. Wayne, Indiana Library. About 1635, or shortly thereafter, there came from England to the Massachusetts settlements one William Comstock. From whence he sailed, and on what ship, has not been ascertained. It is believed that he first lived in the vicinity of Watertown, Massachusetts, but that very shortly he moved to Wethersfield, Connecticut. He is recorded as having been one of twenty-six men from Wethersfield in the expedition commanded by Capt. John Mason, that captured the Pequot Fort at Mystic, Connecticut, May 26, 1637, killing about five hundred Indians. It is a matter of record that he held lands on the Connecticut River in Wethersfield in the year 1641, and that these lands had been purchased from one Ric. Milles. Richard Mylls was plaintiff against Willi Combstocke and John Sadler, defendants, in an action for slander, Aug. 1, 1644, before the Court of Elections, Hartford, to the damage of 200 pounds. About 1650 he moved to Pequot, now New London, where he had previously (in 1647) received a grant of land. At a town meeting held there in November, 1650, he voted to cooperate with John Winthrop to establish a corn mill, and in July 1651 he Wrought on the mill dam with Tabor and other inhabitants of New London. The old mill is still in existence. In 1659 it is recorded that with consent of my now wife Elizabeth he sold property in New London. On February 25, 1661 or '62, Old Goodman Comstock was elected Sexton, to order youth in the meeting house, sweep the meeting house and beat out dogs at 40 shillings a year, and to dig all graves, and have 4s for a grave for a man or woman, and 2s for children, to be paid by the supervisors. Elizabeth died in 1665 in New London CT. William died in 1679. The History of New London states that he lived on Post Hill near the north corner of Williams and Vauxhall Streets. _______________________________________________________________ "Line of Descent of George Roger Gilbert" THE COMSTOCK FAMILY About 1635, or shortly thereafter, there came from England to the Massachusetts settlements one William Comstock. From whence he sailed, and on what ship, has not been ascertained. It is quite probable that with him were his wife Elizabeth and four, or possibly all five of his children. It is believed that he first sojourned in the vicintiy of Watertown, Massachusetts, but that very shortly he transferred to Wethersfield, Connecticut. It is a matter of record that he held lands on the Connecticut River in Wethersfield in the year 1641, and that these lands had been purchased from one Ric. Milles. Prior to that, he is recorded as having been one of the twenty-six men from Wethersfield in the expedition commanded by Capt. John Mason, that captured the Pequot Fort at Mystic, Connecticut, May 26, 1637, killing about five hundred Indians. About 1650 he transferred to Pequot, now New London, where he had previously (1647) received a grant of land. At a town meeting held there in November, 1650, he voted to cooperate with John Winthrop to establish a corn mill and in July 1651 he "Wrought on the mill dam" with Tabor and other inhabitants of New London. The old mill is still in existence. In 1659 it is recorded that "with consent of my now wife Elizabeth " he sold property in New London. This probably indicates that Elizabeth was a second wife. On February 25, 1661 or '62, "Old Goodman Comstock" was elected Sexton, " to order youth in the meeting house, sweep the meeting house and beat out dogs." at 40 shillings a year, to dig all graves, and have 4s for a grave for a man or woman, and 2s for children, to be paid by the supervisors. The date of his death is unknown, but the History of New London states that he lived to old age, on Post Hill near the north corner of Williams and Vauxhall streets. Richard Mylls was plaintiff against "Willi Combstocke" and John Sadler, defendants, in an action for slander, Aug. 1, 1644, before the Court of Elections Hartford, to the damage of 200 pounds.

| 106 | A native of Ireland, he and Rhoda Davenport Boyd settled in Virginia. William Boyd, Sr. served the Colonies faithfully in Thier struggle for Independence. From: Pamunkey Davenports of Colonial Virginia William Boyd was the son of John Boyd of Boyd's Ferry on Dan River (now South Boston, Halifax County) made famous in the Winter of 1781 when Cornwallis' British Army pursued General Nathanael Greene and the retreating Continental Army through North Carolina, seeking a battle that would end the Revolution in the South. Green's goal was Boyd's Ferry where his exhausted and destitute troops could take up a natural line of defense on the north side of deep, unfordable Dan River. Green made it to Boyd's, ferried his troops across the Dan, and then gathered or destroyed all boats and canoes for ten miles up and down the river, depriving Cornwallis of any immediate means of crossing. Levies of Virginia Militia were waiting for Greene's army and other militiamen were streaming into Halifax County to join the expected fray. Greene's veterans and the Virginia Militia joined in establishing a formidable north bank defense. Cornwallis' cavalry arrived opposite Boyd's Ferry within an hour after Greene's position had been established. Cornwallis arrived shortly thereafter, viewed the Patriots' defenses--and decided it was militarily unfeasible to attack. He then marched his Army southeasterly into the North Carolina Piedmont to reduce the rebels there while daring Greene to come out and fight. Shortly after Cornwallis departed from the Dan, Greene, reinforced by Virginia militia and resupplied, crossed the Continental Army back over the Dan and went in pursuit of Cornwallis. On March 15, 1781, Greene's Army confronted Cornwallis' at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, where the British won the field, but lost the battle, for Cornwallis' casualities were so high and his supplies so decimated that he had to retreat to Wilmington, the nearest port where the British Navy could resupply him. Jack Smith Davenport was an officer of a Charlotte County Militia Company at Guilford and suffered mortal wounds. James Davenport was a member of Captain Thomas Minor's Company of Spotsylvania Militia at Guilford. No other Pamunkey Davenport claims to service at Guilford are currently known--although fifty years later Richard Davenport, who had served in a Charlotte County militia company at the time, complained that only the incompetency of his officers, who took a wrong road, had prevented him from being at Gilford Court House. (As to participating in Revolutionary battles and campaigns, the most Pamunkeys Patriots appear to have been captured at the inglorious surrender of Charleston on May 19, 1780 or to have been involved in Gates Defeat at Camden on August 16, 1780. Martin Davenport was the only one of the family in a winning battle that year, when he and other Mountain Men won the Battle of King's Mountain (NC-SC) on October 8, 1780. William Boyd apparently had no interest in operating the Ferry, for he and wife Rhoda sold out in Halifax County in 1783 and moved to Randolph County, North Carolina, where they settled next to Captain John Davenport on the waters of Uwharrie (extreme NW Randolph). John's brother Augustine and his large families lived a few miles south and west, just over the county line in Rowan (now Davidson) County. Augustine's sons and daughters obviously visited Captain John and Cousin Rhoda, for Joel Davenport, eldest of Augustine, and Sarah, eldest of William and Rhoda, were married by 1795. When Joel died in 1807, Boyd administrated the estate. William Boyd died in Randolph in 1831. | Boyd, William Sr (I81)

He spent the first seventeen years of his life on his father's farm, during which time he attended the public school of the neighborhood during the winter. At the age of seventeen years, he commenced teaching school, which profession he followed for twelve years. When not teaching, during the summer months, he worked on his father's farm, with the except ionof two short sessions during which he attended a select private school taught by Amos Horst, at Hinkletown, Lancaster County, Pennyslvania, and one session at the Millersville State Normal School. In 1870 he was registered as a law student with Hon. John B. Livingston, at Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

| 114 | About 1918 Alexander Miller of Logan township, died at the home of his son, Peter R. Miller, Thursday morning, June 20th, at 11:15 o?clock. He had been a sufferer from an abcess in his right side for many months. The funeral services were held in the grove near the family residence at 4 o?clock Friday afternoon, Rev. J. W. Richardson officiating, with interment at the Miller cemetery; the services being very largely attended by relatives and sympathizing friends. He was 98 years, 10 months, and 13 days old. The deceased was born in Roan county, N.C., and when eight years old moved with his parents, William and Nancy Miller, to this county. He married Caroline Robling, who was also born in the same county and state as the deceased, and whose mother died when she was only seven years old, coming to this county with her father soon after the death of her mother. They were married between fifty and sixty years ago, and to this union tow children were born, Peter R. of this township, and Perry A. Miller of near Somerville. He lived in Logan and Madison townships nearly all his life and at the time of his death was the oldest man living in Pike county. He was a life long and successful farmer and in his youth worked on the old Wabash and Erie canal that ran through Petersburg many years ago; also helping to make flatboats that wended their way out of White river and on to New Orleans. There were only two houses in Petersburg when he came here; the county being in woods, and the road from Winslow to Wheeling being through a heavy forest, all the way. He saw many Indians when he first came to this county; also dear, wild cats, wolves and panthers, and at his death had the horns of deer he had killed seventy-five years ago. He fell three years ago and broke his hip and had never walked any since. When a young boy he had a severe spell of sickness that left him deaf and dumb the remainder of his life. He never received any education, there being no deaf and dumb schools then. While he had never made a public confession of Christianity or joined any church, yet in deed he was a Christian gentleman; his life being such. Just before he died and while his family and several friends were gathered around the bedside, doubtless, to indicate to them his future expectation of happiness and glory, raised his hand and pointed upward, meaning that was where he was going. His hope in Christ was an anchor both sure and steadfast. He leaves many relatives and hundreds of friends whose hearts are filled with grief and sorrow. Peace to your soul, ?uncle Alex.? Perry A. Miller and two children, Paul and Miss Eunice, of Somerville, were called here by the serious illness and death of the former?s father; Mrs. Miller being unable to attend the funeral on account of illness. Her many Logan township friends hope for her a speedy recovery. Lawrence R. Miller of the Kentucky School of Medicine, was called home Friday by the death of his grandfather. He returned to Louisville on Sunday to complete the senior year in medicine. (Alexander Miller, brother of Nancy Miller Bullard Phillips. Uncle of Laura Alice Phillips Thompson. Great uncle of Leo M.

| 116 | According to C. E. Banks, John Peckham came from the parish of Woodnesborough, co. Kent, England. John Peckham was admitted an inhabitant of Newport after 1 May 1639. John Peckham of Nuport had his land in Newport recorded sometime between March 1641 and 16 March 1642. At that time he held 40 acres of land, 32 acres in a parcel near Hambrook Mill on Stony River, bordering land of Thomas Clarke, and the rest in meadow and his home lot. He appeared at a General Court of Election as a freeman on 16 March 1641. On 27 January 1642/3, John Peckum of Newport purchased land on the southeast corner of the town, next to his own land, from James Barker of Newport. In 1648, he was a full member of the First Baptist Church, and Eleanor Peckham (his second wife) was baptized that same year. He appears as a freeman of Newport in a list of freemen of the Colony made in 1655. John Peckham was taxed at Newport in 1680. He left a will, dated 6 January 1681, witnessed by John Clarke and Henry Tew, according to a list of seventeen wills presented to the Court in 1700 which lacked a third witness as required by law. However, the contents of the will are unknown. Sources: J. O. Austin, "The Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island." New York, 1887 [1982], pp. 147-148. C. E.

L. Kershaw S. J. Clarke Publishing Co: Chicago, 1909 Albert V. Hunt The place which Alber V. Hunt has occupied in business circles in Clarinda during the past decade is no inconsequent one. He was, though much of this period, closely, actively, and successfully connected with general agricultural interests but is now engaged in the real estate business and is making rapid progress in that line. He started upon the journey of life at Onarga, Iroquois country, Illinois, January 6, 1859, and is a son of George and Mary Riner Hunt. The father was a farmer by occupation and through the tilling of the soil provided a fair living for his family and gave to them good educational privileges. Albert V. Hunt was a youth of seven years when his parents removed from Illinois to Kansas, settling at Ottawa, where he pursued his education as a public school student for nine years. He then returned to Illinois at the age of sixteen years, spending the succeeding three years in his native state, and when a young man of nineteen he came to Taylor County, Iowa, where he began farming. In the succeeding eight years he was connected with agricultural pursuits in that locality, during which period he was married to Miss Agnes Aiton on the 13th of July, 1881. She was a daughter of William Aiton, a farmer of that district. In 1888 Mr. Hunt removed to Newmarket, Taylor County, and putting aside agricultural interests, became connected with commercial pursuits. Establishing a drug store, he conducted it for four years and then entered the field of general merchandising. He also bought and sold grain and in the latter undertaking he was joined by G.E. Clayton. This partnership existed until 1898, when Mr. Hunt sold out and removed to Clarinda, believing that there was an advantage field for business in this city. Here he established the store of Hunt & Clayton, which was thus continued for five years, at the end of of which time the business was incorporated under the firm style of the Hunt & Clayton company, his partner being G. E. Clayton. For nine years Mr. Hunt remained as a member of this firm, conducting a business of large and growing proportions, the extent of the trade making the enterprise a profitable one. In January , 1909, they sold out and entered the field of real estate, loan, and fire insurance business. Although they have now carried on the business for less than a year their previous record was sufficient to commend them to the public and already they have handled many important realty propositions, negotiated various large property transfers, and are doing a business which is hardly second to any in the city. Unto Mr. and Mrs Hunt have been born two daughters: Clarice, now the wife of B. C. Cramer, a merchant of Clarina; and Grace, the wife of Dr. E.R. Harrison, who is successfully practicing dentistry in this city. Mr. and Mrs. Hunt hold membership in the Methodist Episcopal church and take an active interest in its work, Mr. Hunt serving on the official board. His political allegiance is given to the republican party, and while he does not seek nor desire office, he is thoroughly in sympathy with the party platform, believing the issues which it advocates to be of great importance in the welfare of the city and county. Fraternally Mr. Hunt is a Mason and attained the thirty-second degree of the Scottish Rite. He is also a prominent representative of the Knights of Pythais, is a past chancellor of the local lodge and is now acting district grand deputy. Realizing the value of concerted and organized effort, he became one of the founders of the Commercial Club, instituted to develop the business interests of Clarinda, and at the present writing is serving on its executive board. He is a man of keen discernment, and his executive ability and excellent management have brought to the concern with which he has been connected a large degree of success. Moreover, he has displayed in the conduct of his business interests those traits of character which ever command regard and confidence, and he belongs to that class of representative American citizens who promote the general prosperity while advancing individual interests. __________________________________________________________________ A.

Roll of the Silent Albert Victor Hunt Funeral services for the late Albert Victor Hunt were held Saturday morning at 11 o'clock from the home of his daughter, Mrs. E. R. Harrison, on North Fifteenth Street. The services were conducted by the Rev. M. M. Cable, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, assisted by the Rev. A. S. Woodard of Shenandoah, former pastor of that church. Music was furnished by a mixed quartet composed of Mrs. J. G. Scroggs, Mrs. Myrtle Nies, Claude Annon and Ellis Bradley. Albert Victor Hunt was born, January 6, 1859, in Onarga, Illinois, and died January 13, 1918, at Miami, Florida, at the age of 59 years, 7 days. He was the oldest of six children of whom two survive him, Mrs. C. E. Lewis of Burr Oak, Kansas, and George E. Clayton of Clarinda. He was married to Agnes Aiton on July 13, 1881. Three children were born to this union, one of whom passed away in infancy. The others are Mrs. Bruce Cramer and Mrs. E. H. Harrison of Clarinda. The late Mr. Hunt is well known in Page and Taylor counties, having been in the mercantile business in Clarinda until a few years ago, when failing health compelled him to give it up. The firm of Hunt & Clayton, of which he was the senior party, was one of the best business firms of the city for some years. The late Mr. Hunt was an active member of the Methodist Episcopal church, having served on the official board and was chairman of the building committee for the present structure as remodeled. He was a thirty-second degree Mason and belonged to the Knights of Pythais for years. Although he had been failing for some time, his last serious illness began on Sunday, January 6 when he was taken with an attack of pleurisy, and was bedfast from that time until death, just one week afterward. The late Mr. Hunt was a highly respected man in the community and many friends regret his death and extend sympathy to the family. Out of town relatives at the funeral were Mr. Hunt's sister, Mrs. C. E. Lewis; his brother, George E. Clayton, who accompanied the body to Clarinda, Mr. and Mrs. Kirk Hall, Mrs. Jennie Dresher, Mr. and Mrs. Arch Aiton, Mr. and Mrs. James Aiton, Mrs. Arthur Goodspeed and Mr. and Mrs. William Mickle and son, of Bedford, and Mr. and Mrs. R.

| 140 | Also spelled: Senznich Immigrant 1722 In the Land Warrent book , in charge of the Secretary of Internal Affairs at Harrisburg, we find that warrant No. 76 is to Jacob Sensiney and warrant No. 77 is to Christian Sensiney, and that both warrants are dated January 27, 1734, showing that these two men worked together with the same in view. John later took land contiguogu to Jacob's tract, but relinquished it to Michael Witwer , either because he made a profit by the transaction, or because he could not fulfill the stipulations of the agreement into which he had entered. He may also have moved to another part of the country, as there is no further record. [The Sensineys of America, p. 30] Jacob and Maria came to their future farm in 1722, twelve years before the Penns surveyed the land for them. [ The Sensiney's of America, p. 30] Jacob's tract was surveyed in 1734, but the 155 3/4 acres were not patented to him until 1747. Christian's tract was also patented to him in 1747, and it had been stipulated that on the 1st of March, each year, he was to pay the Penn Heirs one-half penny sterling per acre; or for his farm of 216.95 acres, he would pay about $2.17. After 1747, these brothers paid no more money to the Penns. [Sensiney's, p. 31] Fayette C. Eshelman, M.D., the historian for the Eshelman family, has in his possesion the diary of Deacon Wenger, in which is found this memorandum: "On november 18, 1770, I, Joseph Wenger, have handed over to Nicholas Schantz money which I have borrowed from old Jacob Sensenig, which shall be used to pay for the ship-passage of Christian Eshelman, of the sum of twelve pounds." In other words, Jacob Sensenig put up $60 to help ay for the ship-passage of Christian Eshelman, his wife, and six children, October 29, 1770 on the Ship Sally. Dr. Eshelman says, "No doubt, Jacob Sensenig made this loan out of the goodness of his heart and for the Mennonite cause." [Sensiney's, p 31] --------------------------------------------------------- The Sensenigs and Wengers were in Austria 500 years ago. The Sensenigs, under the name Sintzenich, were at Ulm on the Danube in Austria in 1505. The record of the name is found on page 17, book 5, of Erklarung des Wappens, in Vienna. This subject embraces the explanations of coats of arms. There was a Sintzenich coat of arms. {Sensiney's p. 11] | Sensenig, Jacob (I857)

JONAH BULL received his education in London, and subsequently engaged in teaching. In 1795 he immigrated to America, locating first at Charleston, South Carolina, and from there went to Virginia. He was married October 13, 1796, to MISS JANE CRUMLEY, a native of Berkeley County, Virginia, her parents being from an old Virginia family, of English ancestry. After his marriage he located with his wife at Winchester, Virginia, where they lived for many years. He was a soldier in the War of 1812, and fought in the battle of New Orleans under General Jackson. He also took part in the Florida war. In 1815 or 1816, he removed to Butler County, Ohio, their household goods being transported across the mountains on pack animals. JONAH BULL made his home in Butler County until his death, which occurred June 10, 1823. In politics he was a Democrat, and was a great admirer of General Jackson, under whom he fought. He was a good scholar, and a man of more than ordinary intelligence. Though by birth and education an Englishman he was loyal to the Republic. He lost his wife about a year before his death. They were the parents of seven children, two dying in infancy. Of the remaining children, SARAH became the wife of WILLIAM BAKER, and died in Sheffield Township, leaving her husband with two children; ROBERT died in Sheffield Township, in April, 1861, leaving a wife and one child; THOMAS died in Pickaway County, Ohio, leaving a wife and seven children; JANE became the wife of JOHN S. PATTON, and died in Sheffield Township, leaving four sons, and ANDREW JACKSON, who is the youngest child of his father's family. The latter was but six years old when left an orphan, and from that time until 1827 he lived with relatives. In that year he came to Tippecanoe County with his sisters, MRS. JANE PATTON and MRS. SARAH BAKER. At the age of thirteen years he walked to Jefferson in Clinton County, a barefoot boy, where he obtained employment, receiving as compensation for his services, his board and clothing, and the privilege of attending school. When sixteen years old he returned to Sheffield Township, this county, where he worked on a farm. At the age of twenty-one years he received eighty acres of land in Sheffield Township, which had been entered for him by the administrator of his father's estate, which land he has improved and lived on for several years. He then sold his land and went to Lafayette and engaged in the hardware business which he followed until 1848. He then removed to Dayton, this county, where he engaged in mercantile pursuits, and also conducted a hotel. In 1859 he disposed himself of his business at Dayton and removed to the farm in Perry Township where he now resides. He has a pleasant home here where he is surrounded with all the comforts of life. His residence is one and a half stories in height, located on a natural building site, and his farm which contains 160 acres of valuable land, is well improved and under fine cultivation, everything about his home indicating thrift and industry. MR. BULL has been twice married. First, February 14, 1839, to SARAH JANE BARTMESS, daughter of JACOB and SOPHIA (RIZER) BARTMESS, and of the three children born to this union, two are living--OLIVER PERRY, of Wea Township, and ROBERT FULTON, of Sheffield Township. A son, MORRIS, died at the age of twenty years. MRS. BULL died February 14, 1848, and October 27, 1848, MR. BULL was a second time married to MARGARET DICKSON, a native of Sheffield Township, this county, and a daughter of LEVI and MARGARET (FRY) DICKSON, who settled in that township in 1826. To this union four children were born of whom three are living--MRS. EFFIE C. ENGLISH, of Sterling, Kansas ; ROBESON and MARY, at home with their parents. A son named WILLIAM died at the age of twenty-four years, leaving a wife. He was a businessman of Nickerson, Kansas. MR. BULL in his political views is somewhat conservative. In his religious views he adheres strongly to the doctrine of universal salvation.
