ReUNION FUN

By Jon Egge
I don't believe anybody could have reviewed the 2006 Baltimore Family reunion better than Jon Egge has done in the following article - editor

Looking back now over four truly remarkable reunions, I am in wonder of each and every event. There has been a family bonding and sharing that is really quite remarkable. To attend a Chenoweth reunion is a joy indeed, and always "old cousins" renewed and new cousins found and greeted. We are flung across the country in diverse panoply of interests and experiences, yet sharing a common blood from ancestors who helped form us. There is wonderful warmth in meeting cousins and sharing a few days in various activities. The fact that a third or so of the reunion attendees are 4 time participants speaks volumes as to the benefits felt by attending these remarkable events. The Baltimore Reunion was well organized and there were many events to share: the day trip to Fort [DIRECTORS] McHenry and the raising of the flag; the recital by Bill Chinworth and his musical trio; the walking tours of Baltimore homesteads; and singing of Daniel Fred and his new wife Marisela from Sonora. This time, Daniel and his uncle also brought Daniel's father, Rogelio ("Roy").

Finally Pete, freed of Army obligations, made it to a reunion. He was a marvel. Pete warmed us up to the Relative Genetics presentation by Diahan Southard. I never fail to learn something new of this technology which offers the family a new way to understand it's common blood line. Pete was there to be a closer and snared seven samples, doubling our 4-year results to date with the promise of a few others. The aspects of this effort need a separate presentation. Saturday evening, Elmer Haile, Jr., all 96 years, showed up to help us celebrate the 300 plus years of the family in this first permanent home of the American family of Chenoweths. Deanna and I enjoyed Ford Chinworth's invitation to attend an outing to the renowned Baltimore aquarium and a family lunch with the Chinworths. If there was a disappointment it was that more of the local Chenoweths did not join in. There are 94 listings of Chenoweths in the Baltimore phonebook. It is the largest number of Chenoweths to be found in any single urban area of this country. They are all related despite the spelling differences of Chinowiths, Chenworths and Chenoweths. There was much they could have gained and provided, but their lack of interest is their own loss and testament to the on going genealogy problems of the family knowledge in Baltimore. The Chenoweths of our hostess, Lois Akehurst, were there in droves however. This is the line of John Chenoweth who married Anne Perrine, one of the several "lost lines of Baltimore". What fine people and we can thank Lois and her family for their great organization and friendship at the reunion. And as always there was the remarkable family picture taken this time in front of Fort McHenry.

There were Chenoweths. Margaret Meyett and her brother Richard Pitchard led the family line from the Goddins of West Virginia by Robert's daughter Rachel. Margaret had helped me over the years with a Goddin family study and it was great to finally meet her. She nestled right in with the ladies and their afternoon gabfests. Another Robert presence was Peggy and Dale Fulton of Amanda's Reips. The Illinois Fultons are 4 time veterans and it is always like meeting old friends. Willliam Pugh was represented by Darlene Dolbey and Keats Hunt. Keats was a "newbie' and I hope to see him again. He had a real interest in hooking up with the Colorado branch of Isaac Newton's line at some future event. Edmund Willis was another veteran from Lemuel's line and introduced us to his new bride of 2 months, Loretta. In talking to Loretta I found she grew up in Bristow, VA not too far from Johnson City, TN where one of the early Chenoweth migrations ended and where we still find the Chinouth family. As you can see, the line of Revolutionary John of Randolph Co., WV was well presented as always. In the line of William married Catherine Rinker, one of the two Williams of Warren Co., OH, we had Jean Terberg and her husband John from California. I was glad to met Jean after all these years and she found a closer cousin in veteran Bev Buchanan who attended with her husband Richard from Barbara Chenoweth's Martindales. Barbara was a sister to Jean's line of Casper. Bev has done some good work with her Downeys and Guyers. Myra Cruise attended without her motorcycle and soul mate Butch, and we were glad to see her again from this line of John(3)'s son Elias who had finally settled in Jay Co., IN. Laura Bartlett shares this Indiana heritage with Myra. For the first time I was attending as a descendant of John's son Thomas and for the first time I met a cousin from Nicholas Ruxton, the brother to my James Francis, in the form of Dale Alan Chenoweth and his family from Virginia. That was a treat for me. Michael Frederic and his wife Pamela surprised us by showing up. They had been at Portland and I have always had a great interest in the Chenoweths of Morgan Co., IN. Mike is from Absolom Jr.,'s line and hails from the Florida Keys. Mike and Pamela are proof that blood is thicker than politics. With a father named Karl Marx Chenoweth, what else could one be but a liberal. Mike and I traded jabs, but found remarkable common ground in interest and family. So in all we had people from four of the six sons of John(2).

Robert Edmind Chinowth and his daughter Linda Kidd joined us again representing Richard's line returning to Baltimore. Bob comes from the Tennessee line of Nicholas Chenoweth but lives in Illinois from when John, a grandson of Nicholas settled there in the 1850s prior to the Civil War. The Baltimore area Richards were represented by Barry and Kay Bogart of Delaware and Elmer Haile, Jr. both from Richard's son Thomas. Kay, a recent cousin contact, gains me access with a promising Baltimore area researcher; and Kay was thrilled to meet Elmer who was her husband's third cousin twice removed. Kay was presented with a special recognition award for her generous help with Pete's SSA project. Kay also presented me with a new twist of the maddening enigmas of Baltimore. Barry's ancestor Washington Chenoweth, brother to Elmer's John Bradford Chenoweth, had married Sidney Noohan and I had known that she was the daughter of Michael and Lettitia Noohan. What I had missed was the record that Lettitia was a Chenoweth, born 1791 and presents a new puzzle in the murk of lost Chenoweths in Baltimore. Barry is also a distant cousin to Humphrey Bogart. This rounded out the Richard attendees. Richard's line is the smallest in the family, but could be bolstered by some of what I call the "lost lines of Baltimore". Not one Chenowith presumed to be from these lines however attended, and a opportunity was lost.

We don't often get Hannah's but Ann Lieberson attended Saturday from Potomac, MD. Ann has been so helpful with the Virginia based Carters. I wish I had had a better chance to sit down with her, but it is a real treat to have one of the oldest daughter lines at the reunion. Maybe someday we will get a Peteet from Ruth.

Of course we had Arthurs, returning like lemmings to Baltimore. Orange t-shirts abounded. The Chinworth family was there in droves thanks to Bill and Ford. This line is believed to be Arthur2, Arthur3 Arthur4 from Robert who settled in Wabash Co., IN. Bill is a fearless leader and the Chinworths are always fun even if they can't spell. Robert Bond, a Baltimore native and descendant of Charity Chenoweth from William of Hampstead, attended. I had first met Robert in Elkins. Carl Bochau attended from Virginia. Carl grew up in Baltimore and descends from Richard Beasman. Carl and I have been exchanging information for years and it was great to finally be able put a face with the name. With Carl was his daughter Karen Ann Burke. George Samuel Chenoweth and Mary Ann came, another of a strong showing from Illinois. Mary Ann has delighted us over the year with her poems and they are another of the 4 time veterans. George is the last living Chenoweth named male in the line of Samuel and Pete was like a bulldog securing a DNA sample of this fabled line of Arthur's son Samuel which was part of the Cromwell marriages and the 2nd Baltimore immigration to Virginia. Evelyn Watkins and her daughter Andrea rounded out the Arthur descendants, another of the Illini contingent, was the sole representative of Arthur's son Richard even though almost half of the Chenoweths in Baltimore come from the line from Richard's son William who married Amy Davis. Evelyn, nee Bonebrake, is the second Evelyn Bonebrake in my file. The other is Evelyn Estella Bonebrake, also a descendant, who married Leonard C. Briody in Oregon. I suspect there is some Bonebrake connection.

William(2) was represented by 3 families of the cousin marriages, yellow for William and blue for John. All are reunion veterans. There was of course Greg who has become an old friend. There was Mile and Kay Chenoweth from Gas City, IN and Deanna was delighted of course to see Kay. We still have to convince Mike to start wearing a Yellow T-shirt as his name does come from the male side of these 3 unions. There are always plenty of Johns at any reunion. And of course there were the Newbys of Harold and Carolyn from Florida. Carolyn has been a great resource over the years.

You can't have a reunion without a slug of Thomas the youngest son and their green t-shirts. Albert Heller and his wife Delores represented Thomas, Jr. from Oregon. Albert had hosted the Beaverton reunion for us in 2004. Darla Lou Evan from Utah, another Thomas Jr. attended but I somehow missed her. Joyce Wiegand and her husband Dick were represent Richard from Thomas. Joyce, one of the reunion founders and the best registrar ever, is a main force behind the next reunion in Fort Wayne. Joyce and her husband Dick hail from Tippecanoe Co., IN, where her ancestor Richard settled in the 1840s from Pike Co., OH. Daniel Fred and the Sonora Mexican descendants of Somerville represented Elijah. It was a pleasure to meet his new wife Marisela and his father Rogelio. This was third reunion for Daniel and his uncle Gilberto. There are always Abrahams representing the youngest male line of the family. It is sort of like bookends. Lots of the oldest line and lots of the youngest. Pauline Reyman and Terry Chenoweth are from Abraham's oldest son William. Terry helped me a lot with the family of Robert P Chenoweth and is a veteran reunion attendee. Terry delighted us with an account of their run-in with the self-important rock star of Poison. Darrel Lee Chenoweth took in his first reunion and liked what he saw. He and his family are from Paoli, IN. There are Paolis in Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Colorado as well as Indiana. In the family there was Paoli Samuel Clymer, in the line of Jonathon. Another Abraham is Denise Chenoweth of Skidmore, TX, also a reunion veteran. Denise's father had the extraordinary name of Levert Voltair Chenoweth. My closer cousin Dale talked to her about getting information on his great grandmother Rebecca Ann Perry Chenoweth who died in Cameron Co., TX

The family doesn't end here. There are what I term the unknown lines, those which we believe are part of the family but the link has been lost. The many attendees of the Baltimore marriage of John and Ann Perrine were wonderful hosts with a well-organized agenda. It was a delight to see all the smiling children, one who asked me every morning without fail if I had solved the mystery of who they were. Well maybe we can get this done before he becomes a genealogist himself. Pete, "the bulldog" got his sought for DNA sample of this line. There was also Terry Carlson from William, Jr. of Adams Co., OH. Terry is a Baltimore area resident and it was great to find someone in this line coming to a reunion. Besides unknowns there are "others" which are a great added dimension to the family. There is of course Pete and his wife Janet in their inaugural foray to the reunion, but Pete, our editor in chief and genealogist extraordinaire, doesn't really need an introduction. It was great to have his help and leadership. Pete's own DNA test proves our Cornish roots and is a step along the way. And then there is Edith Chenoweth and the Duys. What would a reunion be without Edith and her Chenoweth Tartan. In jest Edith claimed that Chenoweths had extra large big toes, and her daughter Lawra duly recorded an assortment of "big- toed' cousins. Edith's line from Frederick Chenoweth came from Cornwall via Canada before landing in the US. Edith always adds character to the reunion.

What fun these reunions are. You always meet new people and they are all family. There are lots of things to learn from each other and many ways to enjoy the day. The trip to Baltimore for Deanna and I had the added highlight of spending a few days at the Smithsonian, seeing Antietam and Gettysburg and Deanna's pottery trip among the Amish of Lancaster. Ford and John have directed us to good eats for Chesapeake. Why would you not want to attend a Chenoweth reunion? Fort Wayne will be something special with a warm Hoosier welcome.

Jon, My sister Patricia Diane Chenoweth Conway had a new grandson recently. Our father was Edd P. Chenoweth, son of Clark Chenoweth, our Grandfather. I believe we go back to John.

The new member is Court Hunter Conway, born 7/17/06, son of Stephen and Stormy Conway in Texas. Sorry, I don�t have the city with me right now. I can get it for you if you need it.

P.S. Due to your doing the Memoriam list I have made a friend of a widow of a Chenoweth here in Tulsa. I had met them briefly while doing some political canvassing and told them I was so excited when I had seen the name Chenoweth on my list. I didn�t even know they existed. James Chenoweth died this past November of MS, when I saw his name on your list I sent Cheryl a card and she called me. We have talked a couple times, once for over an hour. Another thing that was interesting was that we both trace back to John. She did mention she will be having another grandchild this year to add to our big family, so we�ll be watching for that.

Thanks again for you and Peter�s work on the Chenoweth ancestry.

I recently purchased an original copper etching by Mary Chenoweth at an estate sale here in Memphis, TN. It is an abstract of chickens numbered 3/7 and signed Chenoweth. On the back it states it was framed at the Colorado Springs Fine Art School. Can anyone give me information on the artist. I feel it is a valuable piece and can send a picture if you would like. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

IN MEMORIAM HONOR ROLL

This newsletter listing 55 family members and 6 more of unknown or other lines that died within the last 17 months that we have knowledge of.

Menu of previous series articles

Four Johns, 4 families

In the 3rd generation, there were 4 John Chenoweths, one would die in Frederick Co., VA and one in neighboring Berkeley Co., VA. Richard�s son John, died first and youngest in Baltimore Co., MD, all the others lived into the 19th Century. John, the son of Thomas, died out west in Vigo Co., IN. Two served in the American Revolution. They were the sons of Arthur and Thomas. Both served from Maryland and both became Sergeants. Both died in 1820. John�s son, John, was the first, born in 1735 in Baltimore Co and moved with his parents to Virginia, then the frontier. He was the 2nd son in his family. He married twice, first to Mary Smith and second to Eleanor Parke. He eventually settled in Hampshire Co., VA (now WV) having 9 children, William, the oldest was by the first wife, and the other 8 all believed to be from Eleanor. When John died, he mandated in his will that his lands be sold and the monies to be divided evenly among his children. This had the impact of forcing the family west. Four of the sons, William, Absolom, James and Elias, migrated to Ohio and John IV settled in Washington Co., IN. Two of the Ohio sons, James and Elias, later settled in other parts of Indiana. Three of the daughters, Mary, Eleanor and Rachel, married Ashbrooks, two of whom were sons of Mary Chenoweth, John�s sister. They went to Kentucky. The family of Elizabeth �Betsy�, who married Alexander Monroe, Jr., has never been detailed. They went to Indiana. The only remnant of the families of John that stayed in Virginia was Mary Chenoweth, the oldest daughter of William. She married Abraham Cresswell and in the 1850 Census, three of her descendant families are found in Hampshire Co.

JOHN3 CHENOWETH (JOHN2, JOHN1) was born November 13, 1735 in St. Paul's Parish, Baltimore Co., MD, and died April 29, 1812 in Hampshire Co., VA (now WV). He married (1) MARY SMITH? Bef. 1760.

Arthur�s son John was by far the most prosperous of any of the 3rd generation. Having served in the Revolution with his brother Arthur, Jr. in the New York conflicts, he was captured and later released. He married Hannah Cromwell and settled in Frederick Co., VA after the war. His brother Samuel, who had married Hannah�s sister, soon joined him, the two forming what I call the 2nd Virginia migration. John built a home called �Rock Hall� that still stands today. He and Hannah had 8 children. The oldest, Sarah, married Joseph Taylor and went to Pennsylvania. So did John�s sons Arthur and Joshua. Arthur owned an inn in New Castle. The son Richard Chenoweth received the bulk of John�s estate, but died shortly after his father�s death. His wife Mary Gorrell died ten years later. Richard�s children scattered across the country ending up in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa, Tennessee and California. John�s daughter Ruth married James Marion Oufett. There were 3 children, but it is not known what happened to them. Nor have we been able to trace yet the family of Cloe Chenoweth who married James John Strode. The youngest of the daughters, Hannah Chenoweth married George Harris. They had one son, Thomas Alexander Harris, who became a Congressman from Missouri and a general in the Confederate Army. He never married. John, Jr. had the biggest and most diverse family. He married Mary V. Davenport and they had 10 children. They would pull out of Virginia just before the Civil War and settled in Putnam Co., IN. Alexander Crawford Chenoweth, who wrote the early genealogy of this prosperous family, was a grandson of John, Jr. At the time he was living in New York City, having married Catherine Richardson Wood, the daughter of Fernando Wood, one of the city�s mayors.

JOHN3 CHENOWETH (ARTHUR2, JOHN1) was born July 01, 1745 in Baltimore Co., MD, and died September 11, 1820 in Darkesville, Berkeley Co., VA (now WV). He married HANNAH CROMWELL 1765 in Anne Arundel Co., MD, daughter of WILLIAM CROMWELL and CONSTANT WILMOTT. She was born November 20, 1742 in Maryland, and died 1803 in Darkesville, Berkeley Co., VA (now WV).

Richard�s son John married Frances Haile. Today his line forms most of what descends from Richard�s family. John died in his 30s leaving Frances a widow. A bitter struggle developed between John�s siblings and Frances over the estate of Richard Chenoweth who died shortly after John. The result seems to have favored Frances leaving the Chenoweths with little of the original estate. In the 1790s Frances migrated to Washington Co., TN where other of her Haile siblings had settled. John�s line descends from three of these children that settled there with their mother, Elizabeth who married her cousin Thomas Hale, and the sons Archibald and Nicholas. There was a son named Richard who was mentioned in his grandfather�s will, but he does not appear among the Tennessee lines and it is not known whether he accounts for some of those lines that are known as the lost �Baltimore� lines of Chenowiths. The Tennessee lines of John Chenoweth did use some unique spellings that have become identifiers among descendant lines today. These are Chenowth, Chinowth and Chinouth. Though a small segment of these lines still live near Johnson City, TN today where the family settled, most migrated west starting just before the 1850s to Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois, Texas, Arizona and California.

JOHN3 CHENOWETH (RICHARD2, JOHN1) was born Abt. 1746 in Baltimore Co., MD, and died Bef. December 04, 1781 in Baltimore Co., MD. He married FRANCES HAILE 1757 in Batimore Co., MD, daughter of GEORGE HAILE and ELIZABETH CHAFFINCH. She was born Abt. 1739, and died 1815.

John, the son of Thomas, married Rachel Kerr, probably in Allegany Co., MD. He migrated to Mason Co., KY with his siblings after the death of their father Thomas. There Rachel appears to have died and John remarried to Mary Van Buskirk. He settled for a while in the Ross/Pike Co. area of Ohio with his brothers and then moved on to Vigo Co., IN where he died on March 03, 1820. Though he had 12 known children by his two wives, the line is thinly developed. To date I have only been in contact with a dozen descendants of this family. The male Chenoweth lines are thinner yet. Nothing is known of the oldest son Thomas. The daughter Sarah married Lewis Rodgers and the known line is less than 30 names at present. The son John married another Rachel Kerr. The male Chenoweth name in this family has died out and what little that descends is passed down through the daughters. The same is true for the son Eli. Elijah married and divorced Mary O�Dell. One daughter is said to have been born. Rebecca married Thomas Carter and much of this line remains elusive. It is not known what happened to the daughter Mary. She may have married James Sheern or Sherwin. The information of five children of the second marriage to Mary Van Buskirk is only a little better. Isaac married Isabella McElwain and handled his father�s estate. This is the most robust line of any of John�s children and does carry the Chenoweth name to present day. Isaac and his family lived in neighboring Vermillion, Co., IN where other Thomas(2) lines would settle. Samuel went to Kentucky and married Priscilla Hitt. One daughter is known. William died in Vigo Co. unmarried and Elias is not known to have married either. Anna married Thomas Williams and went to Kansas.

JOHN3 CHENOWETH (THOMAS2, JOHN1) was born May 15, 1751 in Frederick Co., VA, and died March 03, 1820 in Vigo Co., IN. He married (1) RACHEL KERR 1780, daughter of BENJAMIN KERR. She was born Bef. 1766, and died January 16, 1792. He married (2) MARY VAN BUSKIRK March 11, 1793 in Shelby Co., KY, daughter of MICHAEL VAN BUSKIRK and MARY VAN DEVENTER. She was born October 17, 1766 in Virginia, and died October 24, 1849 in Vermillion Co., IN.

Children of JOHN CHENOWETH and RACHEL KERR are:

  1. THOMAS4 CHENOWETH, b. January 13, 1782, Maryland; d. Aft. February 1840.
  2. SARAH CHENOWETH, b. April 08, 1783, Maryland; d. March 22, 1823, Vigo Co., IN; m. LEWIS RODGERS; b. February 02, 1780; d. March 06, 1838, Vigo Co., IN.

    Children of JOHN CHENOWETH and MARY VAN BUSKIRK are:

  7. ISAAC4 CHENOWETH, b. December 17, 1793, Shelby Co., KY; d. April 30, 1856, Vermillion Co., IN; m. ISABELLA McELWAIN, June 12, 1817, Clinton Co., OH; b. May 27, 1800, Pike Co., OH; d. February 20, 1856, Vermillion, Co., IN.

In the 1850 Census there are 14 families of the Chenoweth family living in Vermillion Co., IN. All are from the Thomas line. John�s families account for 7 of these. Another 4 still live in Vigo Co and 3 in Tippecanoe Co. One other family lives in Cass Co, and 4 others are scattered to Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin for a total of 19 families and 82 people. That same Census finds 23 families and 128 people from Richard�s son John living in Tennessee, Arkansas and Kentucky. Arthur�s son John accounts for 28 families and 145 people living primarily in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Indiana. Families of John�s son John exceed the other 3 combined, numbering 75 families and nearly 400 people spread out to 8 states, but primarily based in Indiana and Ohio.

Remember these? For those who never saw any of the Burma Shave signs, here is a quick lesson in our history of the 1930s and '40s. Before there were Interstates, when everyone drove the old 2 lane roads, Burma Shave signs would be posted all over the countryside in farmers' fields. They were small red signs with white letters. Five signs, about 100 feet part, each containing 1 line of a 4 line couplet, and the obligatory 5th sign advertising Burma Shave, a popular shaving cream.

A Barrel of Darrells

One of the more unique near cousin contacts I made was Darryl Roderick Chenoweth of Breckenridge, MN. This started with one of my �cold calls�. Darryl is from one of our unknown lines of William, Jr. who married Sarah M. McClelland on March 29, 1830 in Adams Co., OH, a family described on page 631 of the Harris book. William was born March 03, 1803 in Ohio. The location would make you think of a Thomas line, and the only known fit would be the son William, whose family and life has been obscured by the clouded past. Unlike his six brothers, William did not move directly north into Scioto Valley. Cora Hiatt told us nothing about his family and Shirley Harris insisted by mistake that he married Catherine Rinker. This placement is easily disproved as William the son of Thomas is clearly in Mason Co., KY in 1790 when William S. was still living back on Back Creek in Frederick Co., VA.

Probably the best clue we have to William, the son of Thomas, is given by his grand nephew, Abraham J. Chenoweth of Kansas in a letter dated July 12 1887 as found in the Draper Papers.

"Several years ago I undertook to gather information concerning my ancestors so as to make a family tree. I have corresponded with persons, mostly Chenoweths, in KY, OH, IN, IL, IA, WI, NE, KS, CO, MO, TX, MD, and DC and have been unable to learn anything concerning my grandfather's brother William, son of Thomas. I will give you a small part of the family tree although it may be of no interest or benefit to you & give the time of birth of all of Thomas's children which might help you decide the identity of the Richard and William you are concerned with [JE:Draper was looking for Richard and William of Jefferson Co., KY, who are Richard3 John2 and William4 William3 John2]. The 7 sons and 1 of the daughters [I assume to be Mary] of Thomas settled in Ohio in a very early day. It was in 1790 or 99 that Arthur, Abraham, John and Richard settled on the Scioto River in what became Pike Co. and Thomas and Elijah near the center of the state in Franklin Co. I don't know at what date, but possibly the same, that William located on the big Miami where Dayton is. He returned to Kentucky in a few years and all trace of him and his family was lost as far as I have been able to learn. Arthur and Abraham died and were buried in Pee Pee Twp., Pike Co. OH. John didn't remain in that country very long, but moved to Indiana & located where Perryville now is. Thomas and Elijah died in Franklin Co., OH. Richard and his wife went with 2 of his sons and their family to Indiana in 1830....."

This journey described by Abraham is verified in fact. Harris mistakenly includes it under William married Elizabeth Hutchinson, now known as William, Jr.

�William came to Hamilton County, Ohio in 1795, wintered there until the following spring, and then traveled north up the Miami valley to Montgomery County, near the present day site of Dayton. In 1798 he paid taxes there. In 1803 he is found in Beaver Creek Two., Greene County, Ohio��

William, Jr. did not leave Virginia until about 1813, so the story belongs to the William of Thomas. It is an aggregate of various historical records. By Census, William had at least 3 sons. The only record of a name for these sons is Michael, described in an early lease document. Nothing more is known of Michael and record found tells names for the other two, but William, Jr. of the Adams Co. marriage fits well. Perhaps DNA testing will help solidify this possibility and give a male line from this lost son of Thomas. William, Jr. settled in Jasper Co., Iowa and Darryl�s line descends from his youngest son, Andrew Jackson Chenoweth.

Darryl tells me that there are 24 ways to spell Darrell. In 1983 Darryl wrote letters to all the persons that he could find with the same name as his (variations in spelling) and got several replies. Three of these contacts list below supplied good information for my file:

The Nashs of Kentucky

There are 3 known lines to present day of the children of Richard of Louisville. Thomas and James S represent the male side and Amelia, who married Harmon Nash, the only daughter line. The lines of Thomas and some of James went to Indiana. Some of James and what we know of Amelia stayed in Kentucky. Three other daughters are said to have married: Jane to William Miller, Naomi to Frederick Henry Kalfus and Ann to Joseph William Bonderant, Jr. Nothing is known about what happened to William and Jane Miller. The marriage of Naomi, is puzzling. I am not sure it is right. There is another cited marriage of Nancy the daughter of Thomas to a Henry Kalfus. Both marriages are in Shelby Co., KY a year apart. In my mind, something here is confused. Naomi would have been about 45. Henry Kalfus died a few years later. The daughter Ann had two sons and her husband died when they were still boys. I believe I found one son, Joseph Bonderant in Sullivan Co., MO in 1880 with a wife Laura and 4 children. This deserves to be researched. Tabitha never married. Harris tells us she was a teacher at the Armstrong Baptist Academy located about 3 1/2 miles NE of Bokchito in Bryan Co., OK. This school had the object of "Christianizing" Choctaw Indians. After she returned to Kentucky she lived with Mrs. Frances Boyle, her niece.

Amelia, also called Mildred by Cora Hiatt, married Harmon Nash, the son of Thomas Nash and Mary Porter. Hiatt listed 6 children. Harris has the names of 9, but adds nothing about the three additions. Cora gave us a few hints on three of the children. Amelia Naomi married James Porter, the son of John Porter and Margaret Baird, and their seven children are described in Harris, but only three of these have continuations. How John Porter relates to Mary Porter, the mother of Harmon Nash is unknown to me. The families of Thomas Benton Porter and Benjamin Rush Porter were described in a World Family Tree as submitted by Robert Kenneth Sacks. The information on Benjamin by Robert was a bit more detailed. For both Thomas and Benjamin we were able to trace out this limited information in the 1850 through 1880 Censuses in which Thomas moved from Kentucky to Monroe Co., MO while Benjamin stayed in Jefferson Co., KY near Middletown. So far this has not led to further development and both these families are ripe for additional research. The real bulk of the known Porter descendant line goes through the daughter Martha Jane Hobbs Porter who married Reuben W. Hawkins on December 24, 1850 in Louisville, Jefferson Co., KY. Here we have some 150 names and three signed-in cousins. Darroll Lee Hawkins came to the Bowling Green reunion and did the leg work for setting up the family corporation. Darroll, an engineer who lives in Louisville, has been most helpful to me in adding to the lines of Martha�s Hawkins.

AMELIA 'MILDRED'4 CHENOWETH (RICHARD3, JOHN2, JOHN1) was born Abt. 1774 in Berkeley Co., VA (now WV), and died May 1835 in Jefferson Co., KY. She married HARMON NASH June 01, 1792 in Jefferson Co., KY, son of THOMAS NASH and MARY PORTER. He was born 1765 in Pennsylvania, and died 1812 in Natchez, LA.

Children of AMELIA CHENOWETH and HARMON NASH are:

  1. ELIZABETH FRANCES5 NASH, b. January 16, 1795, Jefferson Co., KY; d. November 26, 1884; m. ? RUSH; b. Bet. 1780 - 1800.
  2. AMELIA NAOMI NASH, b. 1797, Jefferson Co., KY; d. August 21, 1874; m. JAMES PORTER, June 19, 1823, Jefferson Co., KY; b. Abt. 1779, Somerset Co., MD; d. Aft. 1850.
  3. THOMAS J. NASH, b. 1799, Jefferson Co., KY; d. Bef. 1880, Union Co., KY; m. MARY VANCE; b. Abt. 1813, Kentucky; d. February 1891.
  4. FRANCES 'FANNY' NASH, b. 1802, Jefferson Co., KY; d. November 1875; m. THOMAS BOYLE; b. Abt. 1797, Pennsylvania.
  5. POLLY 'MARY' NASH, b. 1804, Jefferson Co., KY.
  6. RICHARD C. NASH, b. February 23, 1810, Jefferson Co., KY; d. February 04, 1865, Hardin Co., KY; m. LUCRETIA A. WELSH; b. Abt. 1822, Kentucky.
  7. HARMON NASH, b. Aft. 1792, Jefferson Co., KY.
  8. JESSE NASH, b. Aft. 1792, Jefferson Co., KY.
  9. MARTHA NASH, b. Aft. 1792, Jefferson Co., KY.

Unfortunately little else was known of the Nashs. Elizabeth Frances Nash is said to have married a doctor named Rush, but in the 1850 Census she is living with her sister Amelia Naomi�s family under her maiden name. Through the 1880 Census she remains single. Harris tells us that Fanny Nash married Thomas Boyle and had no children. We have located that family in the 1850 Census in Jefferson Co., and there are two children, Susan and Thomas, listed in that Census. Because of the statement by Harris it is hard to know what that means without a marriage date for Fanny or the relationship of these minors to Fanny and Thomas. This is another �needs to be researched� item. Living with Fanny and family is her sister Mary Nash, single, age 55. Richard C. Nash had two known children, James and Edmond. In preparing this article, I did some Census looking. The family has not been found yet in the 1850 Census, but as his son James was born about 1842 by the 1860 Census, they should be somewhere. Edmond married a Margaret but they had no children. His mother Lucretia, Richard�s widow, was living with them near Middletown in the 1900 Census. Edmond and Margaret are found in the 1910 and 1930 Censuses, and by the latter, had moved back to Louisville. James P. married a Mary and had two sons. One, Samuel Foree died before the 1900 Census. The other Richard, at age 31, was still living with his parents in the 1900 Census. I was not able to trace this any further.

In the Spring of 2005, Leroy Armstrong of Evansville, IN contacted me with this message �Hi; I just found out that my great grandmother, Amanda Nash was born in Jefferson County, Kentucky. Her father was Thomas J. Nash. They lived in Union Co. KY. According to the info on your web site, Thomas is the son of Harmon Nash who married Amelia Chenoweth. I would like to get in touch with other Nash cousins. Is there any way to do this through this site. I would appreciate any help although your site has been a big help already�. This was sure a day brightener. I had previously looked at this family in the 1850 Census without any confirmation that this was right, but now, a further look adding in later Census data confirmed Leroy�s Email statements. Cora had listed Thomas as having sons Samuel, Marion, and Joseph. Harris did add that the wife�s name was Mary Vance and that they lived in Union Co. All that seems to match in the Census was Thomas. His age was right, but was this the right family?

Nash: Thomas J - district 2: page 497: dwelling 376 (Thomas J 50-KY farmer, wife: M.M. 37-KY, dau: A. M. 19-KY, sons: Harmon B. 17-KY, Thomas J 9-KY, & F. M. 7-KY, dau: Mary B 5-KY, son: Jas G 2-KY)

IN 1860 we find that wife M. M. is Mary and the son described as Jas G. is really Joseph G. and should have been read as �Jos G.� In 1910 we find that F.M. Nash is Francis Marion. It appears that Harmon may have been Harmon Samuel. This family indeed fits. Cora and Harris left us important clues, but confirmation was only to be found by looking at the Census detail through each successive Census. When I first looked my sole easy access was the 1850 Census. It was a daunting task to reel through microfiche for subsequent details, when the premise was unconfirmed to begin with. The more recent access to Internet Census data has eased the researcher�s task and shortcut the time involved. A.M. in the Census it turns out is Amanda M. Nash. The 1880 Census is interesting. Thomas has died, and Mary Nash, widowed, is living with her unwed son Joseph and a granddaughter Dona Boster. Amanda Nash according to Leroy had married Anderson Jack Boster and had two daughters, Dora Ellen, Leroy�s grandmother and Cora, before Amanda had died on September 20, 1870 in Webster Co., KY. As we see Dora went to live with her grandmother Mary. Cora is found with the family of her uncle, Thomas S. Nash.

THOMAS J.5 NASH (AMELIA 'MILDRED'4 CHENOWETH, RICHARD3, JOHN2, JOHN1) was born 1799 in Jefferson Co., KY, and died Bef. 1880 in Union Co., KY. He married MARY VANCE. She was born Abt. 1813 in Kentucky, and died February 1891.

Children of THOMAS NASH and MARY VANCE are:

  1. AMANDA M.6 NASH, b. Abt. 1831, Kentucky; d. September 20, 1870, Webster Co., KY; m. ANDERSON JACK BOSTER, January 23, 1866; b. Abt. 1831, Gallia Co., OH.
  2. HARMON SAMUEL NASH, b. Abt. 1833, Kentucky.
  3. THOMAS S. NASH, b. January 1841, Kentucky; m. SUSAN C. ?; b. July 1845, Kentucky.
  4. FRANCIS MARION NASH, b. March 1843, Kentucky; m. MARY FRANCIS ?; b. September 1847, Kentucky.
  5. MARY B. NASH, b. Abt. 1845, Kentucky.
  6. JOSEPH G. NASH, b. March 1848, Union Co., KY.
  7. MARTHA F. NASH, b. Abt. 1851, Union Co., KY.

There is much here to develop and all this whets the appetite to find more of Amelia�s Kentucky Nashs.

An interesting discussion about Census data

In August 2006, Pete posed to me an interesting question. He had found a 26 year old John Shinneworth living in Union Co., IN with Charles Connaway. This John had not been identified. Single individuals, lacking related family members often are too vague to make a sure identification. This was not a good match with any John born in Indiana that we were aware of. Surprisingly, Pete found that Charles Connaway had married into the Chenoweth family, his wife being Maria G. White a great granddaughter of Mary Chenoweth. Mary was born in Ohio and Charles in South Carolina. They made their home in Union Co., IN. This appears to be a co-incidence because John does not seem to match any data we have on the Warren Co., OH Chenoweths which would be the closest relatives to Mary White Connaway. John Cheneworth appears in the same county twenty years later in 1900 living with what appears to be Meridith Connaway and his family. Meridith was a son of Charles. Now John says he is 49 and that his parents were born in Indiana. Again there does not seem to be a reasonable match with this �older� John but it would seem logical that the 1880 John and the 1900 John are the same individual. In 1900 John says he is widowed. Perhaps he married a Connaway. We know little of what happened to most of the Connaway family.

Since there is no good match to this John before and after these two entries, Pete wondered if the �John� might be William T. the son of Joseph Chenoweth and Sophia Taylor. He based this observation on the fact that William is found in 1850 & 1860 with his parents and then not again until 1910 in an old veterans home in Grant Co., IN. In this later Census he appears to be divorced, but the Census taker�s �S� for single and �D� for divorced are very similar. Likewise his �Js� and �Ts� are somewhat alike. As this is the only Census where we acquire William�s middle initial, perhaps he is William John. The information in 1850, 1860 and 1910 is very consistent. The information in 1880 and 1890 is at variance, but that could be explained if William was not the one giving the information and it was rather distorted data filtered through the Connaway family. In Pete�s favor, in 1880, Thomas the brother of William T. is also found living in Union Co. just a couple of Census pages away. Union Co. is not a place where you ever find much of the Chenoweth name.

These sorts of arguments are common. They are not readily resolved. It would be nice if we could find some collaboration, identifying the unknown John and adding to the knowledge of William T., but the leap is really too great to say with any certainty. While puzzling through all this, I happened on the listing of John Corwine Chenoweth in Vermillion Co., IN. I had forgotten to fill in that we had found him living with his mother and stepfather in 1880, As I looked at it I realized he probably should be findable in the 1870 Census as well, and searching under Jacob Nathan, the name of his step father, I found John and his sister Rachel in the same household. We had not identified Rachael and John was mistakenly listed as a Jacobs. In that Census John is listed as a cripple. So we have him now in 4 successive Censuses from 1850 through 1880. What happened next is unknown.

Walter Thompson and the Franklins

Having an internet site for genealogy is a lot like fishing, another pastime of mine that is a pleasant way to while away the hours. When fishing you never know what the next moment is going to bring and the size of �fish� that is going to hit your line. In September of 1996, just nine months into this project, I had a large strike when Walter Thompson of Ellery, IL contacted me. Walter�s line is from Jonathan, one of the three 4th generation sons of William Chenoweth and Ruth Calvert of Frederick Co., VA. Like the children of Jonathan�s brother William, many of Jonathan�s grandchildren ended up in Pike Co., IL. In both instances these families came from Kentucky, down the Ohio River and up the Mississippi. It was here on September 21, 1838 that Sarah �Sally� Chenoweth, the daughter of Jonathan, Jr., married Seaborn Solomon Mayfield, a native of Tennessee.

Seaborn is a colorful name and distinct, something you come to appreciate in this endeavor. This marriage is in the Harris book on page 80, handed down from Cora�s 1925 book. The list of Mayfield children were added in the spring of 1996 by Robert D. Mustain of Los Angeles whose brother had married Helen Maxine Mayfield, a great granddaughter of Sally and Seaborn. Robert had sent me a letter out of the blue, admiring the website, then in its infancy. Walter�s line tied into the oldest of the Mayfield children, Mary Jane Mayfield, born May 07, 1844 in Pike Co., IL. She married John Franklin and Walter�s work ran to over 500 descendants and spouses of this 6th generation daughter and some 690 names. This line presents a family that has been in Illinois for over 170 years.

The Thompson name in this line started with the marriage of two of the Franklin daughters to two Thompson brothers, sons of Alfred and Martha Franklin. The detail of the families was extraordinary. Much of Walter�s work had involved phone calls and letters to current family members, a talent and occupation I have come to know first hand. It came to be a very rewarding experience to contact near kin that you have never met, but ones with whom you share an immediate bond and heritage. So complete were Walter�s efforts, I have added very little to this part of the file in the intervening 9 years. The one �fish� that got away was Jay Franklin of Georgia who found our material 3 years later and who descends from the Franklin son Walter. This is one of those sad instances of a contact, despite repeated requests and promises never added into the database. Fortunately there are more �Walters� than �Jays� out there. It is a line that now beckons for Census work.

Walter�s work was sent by US Postage and involved hours of transcription. Electronic trees are much faster to add allowing one to cut and past into the database. The other advantage in electronic data is that it tends to eliminate typos that my �nimbleless� fingers seem to endlessly create. There comes a deep appreciate in this endeavor for the time and patience so many cousins have taken upon themselves to find and set down the connected families. The database we are building will someday astonish a future unborn generation of Chenoweth descendants
