That is a wonderful contribution. Thank you so much, it has been posted to the website and can be found at: http://www.chenowethsite.com/chentale.htm#en1796

It�s been a long time! How have you been doing? By the looks of the site (it�s been quite a while since I�ve been able to get on) you�ve been pretty busy with it. I noticed that the updates I gave you on Lillie (Dunn) Howell�s side of the tree haven�t been put on there yet. Let me know if you need anything else. Darcy�s son Jared is getting married in May, but I have no idea what her last name is, I�ll find out and let you know. Take care, and thanks again for all the work you�ve put into this site.

Angel�It is in my file. The last time we updated the website was in 2003. We are some 28,000 names beyond that. I am just too busy trying to get the 1870 Census done to think about an update. Sorry�. � Jon Egge

Thanks so much for all the time and effort you have put into this massive project! I�m always interested in reading the quarterly newsletters. Looking forward to hearing more from you in the future.

Thanks Terry for keeping the link. I lost over 100 cousins in this last mass mailing. You never finished tying yourself in. I have nothing after Rachel. Sure would like to get this line in. I thought it was so interesting that Rachel�s aunt married Joseph Van Cleave and that is why Rachel was living with the Van Cleave�s in Iowa in 1860... � Jon Egge

What happened to the print? I have 18 pages of 1 paragraph and it is just impossible to read!

Best to get a copy off the net. I was in a hurry and just pasted the net version in and didn�t take the time to redo Pete�s list in some sort of format. It is not easy. If I include the newsletter in the Email I get so many people who reply sending this huge text page back to me. Yet I want to keep their 2 line letter. If I don�t send it and just refer people to the web, it doesn�t get read and we get a poor response. If I attach the formatted newsletter it is big and get�s rejected by too many providers. The plain text version is a work around. I will try to take more steps next time, but I get tired of all the messing around. To top it off, my Email provider, Comcast, has put me in �Email Jail� for 48 hours for �spamming� in sending out the newsletter. � Jon Egge

I love all of the information we get from you. Please continue the GOOD work you do. Have a good holiday. I hope you are not in the part of Oregon that was hit by bad weather.

Actually I am in Washington. My brother is on the road from Bermuda Dunes (California) and will have to detour through Yakima as I-5 is closed until Saturday. Amazing that this major Interstate would be washed out for 5 days.... What a mess..... � Jon Egge

Hugh Stamper was born about 1620 in northern England, in the county of Cumberland, now called Cumbria. Not much is known about his early life, but it is believed he was the son of a Thomas, who was the son of Ambrose Stamper. He may have been a blacksmith, as records in Lurgan, Ireland refer to his son as a �smith�.

There were Stampers living in northern England, before 1538, near Holm Cultram Abbey, built in the 1100�s by the Cistercian Monks. These Stampers, were possibly of Scottish ancestry, as the land previously was in the hands of the Scots.

In fact, one Hugh Stamper, who was listed as �not a monk�, was the Abbey Bailiff for Holm Cultram, and later was listed as living on one of the Abbey�s tenement farms with a 21 year lease. The location of this cottage and � acre garth was in the town of Sandenhouse, not far from the Abbey. Another mention of a Hugh Stamper says he was a professor at Carlisle University in 1562.

No clear connection has been made yet to the other Hugh Stampers, but surely there is one.

The next we know of the younger Hugh Stamper is that he married about 1648/49 in Cumberland, England to a lady named Briget . This marriage probably took place at All Saints Parish, Bolton, Cumbria. Her last name has not been found, but she is said to have been from the town of Bolton Wood, a small village in Cumberland, and not far from where Hugh Stamper was living.

In May of 1650, a daughter was born to them, named Mary. Another daughter Judith, born the 12th of June 1652 in Bolton Wood, later would marry John Calvert.

In Cumberland at the same time, �our founding Friend� George Fox was spreading the Quaker religion, and in August of 1653, was on his way to visit Thomas Bewley at Halt-cliff Hall. He was later arrested and imprisoned for seven weeks at Carlisle Castle prison for preaching at Holm Cultram Abbey. Hugh Stamper about this time, aligned himself with the new religion, and can be found in the records of Carlisle prison dated 1654.

Anno 1654: �Thomas Bewley and Hugh Stamper, standing at the Sessions in Carlisle with their hats on, were by the Justices committed to prison without any legal cause assigned. After a months confinement they were discharged without paying fees. But Hugh Stamper was afterwards arrested for fees and imprisoned and detained there for one and twenty weeks.� It does not mention why he received the latter sentence.

About the same time, another daughter Sarah was born, and a son named Daniel, was born in 1656.

Hugh Stamper is mentioned again in the following records of Carlisle Prison along with Francis Robson.

�In 1662, Francis Robson, for being at the like peaceable meeting to worship God, was fined by Judge Kennedy 20 shillings, for which fine the Sheriff�s Bailiffs took from him a horse worth L5. Hugh Stamper, for the like cause, was fined by the Judge 5 shillings, and imprisoned about eight weeks, and had a kettle taken from him worth 14 shillings.� It was common for Quakers to refuse to pay local tithes to support the Church of England or local government, so they could be arrested, and tithes taken from them, or imprisonment. The Quakers termed this �Sufferings�, and began to keep records of these actions. The popular Quaker form of non-conformity was refusing to pay tithes, remove your hat to authority, and speaking with the words �thee and thou�, which at the time was disrespectful to officials.

Sometime between 1662 and 1663, Hugh Stamper, along with his wife and children removed with a group of Quakers to near Lurgan, county Armagh, Ireland. His name appears on the Hearth Tax list in �Lurgan Town� dated 1663-1665, showing one hearth, and taxed at 2 shillings, the fee at that time.

The removal into Ireland seems to have coincided with the English Parliament passing the Act of Uniformity in 1662. This Act was in part, meant to re-introduce the Book of Common Prayer in England and make it compulsory for religious services. It also required Episcopal ordination for all ministers. Another part of the Act was the Conventicle Act , passed in 1664 which forbade conventicles ( a meeting of unauthorized worship) of more than 5 people who were not members of the same household. The purpose was to prevent dissenting religious groups from meeting. It isn�t known if Hugh Stamper left England on his own accord after his 1662 imprisonment, or was forced out of the country with the enactment of the new laws.

In the Quaker minutes at Lurgan Meeting, Ireland, it is here that Hugh�s daughter Mary is listed as marrying on the 12 July, 1671 to Thomas Walker, a weaver in Lurgan.

On the 29th of May 1673, the marriage of daughter Judith is recorded at Stranmillis, a small town near Belfast, Ireland. She married John Calvert, whose family had emigrated earlier from Yorkshire, England. In 1673, Hugh Stamper is also found, listed as a witness to the Quaker marriage ceremony of Valentine Hollingsworth, and wife Ann.

In county Armagh, near Moyraverty, can be found the oldest burial ground for Quakers in Ireland. It is called Lynastown, and was named so for one William Lynas who died in 1658. He was not allowed to be buried in the regular church graveyard, so his son Thomas donated the land for Quaker burials. In records of the Lurgan Quaker Meeting in 1673, twelve trustees were appointed for the burial ground. Four of the twelve named were: Daniel Stamper, listed as a �smith� in Lurgan; Thomas Walker, a � weaver � in Lurgan; John Calvert, listed as a �freeholder�, and Valentine Hollingsworth, John Calvert�s brother in law.

One of the last times we hear of Hugh Stamper, are from the records of the Lurgan Meeting, where Hugh is listed as being present for the 2nd month, and 3rd month of 1675. That would actually be April and May, as March was the first month of the Quaker calendar.

Lastly, the records of Lynastown graveyard record the following burials.

Hugh Stamper, buried 9 July 1676; Briget Stamper, buried 12 January 1681; Sarah Stamper, daughter of Hugh and Briget, buried the 23 December1674; and son Daniel buried the 24th November 1684, age 28 years.

Of the two remaining known children of Hugh and Briget Stamper, Judith Calvert Chenoweth (John), went to Pennsylvania with the fleet of William Penn in 1683, and settled on land in Upper Providence Township, later called Delaware County. Judith died sometime after 1704; John Calvert died in 1699, and was buried in Philadelphia.

No further evidence has been found yet as to where Mary Stamper Walker (Thomas) went. There names do not appear in the Lynastown burial records, but there is an indication that they may have remained in Lurgan. Mary was living in 1689. There are many Walkers listed on a list from 1695 giving donations for a new Quaker church building in Lurgan. On the list is a Thomas Walker, and Thomas Walker Jr.

On an old map of Lurgan town, the property of John Calvert and Thomas Walker are adjoining each other , on the west side of the main street, across from the marketplace.

Records of Lurgan Quaker meeting dated the 22nd of the 7th Mo.(Sept.)1680, indicate a �difference� between John Calvert and William Matthews. �George Hodsgen, Robert Hoope, William Porter and James Bradshaw were appointed to �end ye Difference� betwixt John Calvert and William Matthews, �about ye fence on their backsides� with what expedition they can.

The First Elijah

There are 11 Elijahs in my file, 9 are in the line of Thomas. Certainly 8 of these are named after Elijah, the 2nd youngest son of Thomas, and the first instance of this name in the family. It is likely that the one Elijah in William�s line was also named for Elijah. This Elijah was the son of William Chenoweth, a son of Thomas Chenoweth and Elizabeth Watson. William�s sister Nancy had married her cousin Elijah, Jr. and William used the name of his brother-in-law. The other of the 2 Elijahs outside of the Thomas line, was born in Randolph Co., VA in 1819. The last instance of an Elijah was Elijah Pringle Chenoweth, born in 1891 and a great, great grandson of the first Elijah. The family of Elijah is robust. He married Rachel Foster, the sister of Cassandra, the wife of one of his older brothers, Thomas, Jr. Born on Back Creek in Frederick Co., as a young child, Elijah accompanied his parents to Old Towne, MD. Here he married on August 25, 1785, Rachel Foster, the daughter of the Rev John Foster and Elizabeth Lewis. After the death of his father Thomas, Elijah migrated with his siblings to Mason Co.,KY and then across the Ohio River, up the Scitio River Valley, finally settling in the southwest corner of Franklin Co., on side by side farm with his brother Thomas, Jr. and Rachel�s sister Cassandra. They were among the first settlers of the area and it is said that Elijah had the first apple orchard in the area.

Elijah served in the American Revolution and this service is described in Harris as follows:

�Elijah and his brother Thomas was in a detachment of men that were sent under the command of Colonel William Crawford to Sandusky, Ohio Territory to put down an uprising of Indians allied with the British. On Jun 5 1782, Col Crawford, several of his officers and some enlisted men were taken prisoner by the Indians. Fortunately, Elijah and Thomas were not among those captured. After summarily killing some of the men, the Indians took Crawford and the rest of the men to what is now Crawfordville in Wyandot Co., Ohio. On June 11, they arrived at the Delaware village where other Indians had gathered from other villages to watch as Crawford was tortured and burned at the stake.�

This service has been recognized by the SAR but is not on the DAR lists as far as I know. The History of Franklin Co. describes Elijah as follows �Elijah and Rachel (Foster) Chenoweth, natives of Maryland, were early settlers in Kentucky, and about 1793 emigrated to Pike County, and settled near what is now the southern boundary of Ross Co. They arrived in the fall of 1799, to Pleasant township, Franklin County being the first pioneers. Elijah Chenoweth was born June 12, 1762 and died December 5, 1828. His wife died April 17, 1825.� Both are buried in the Chenoweth cemetery located on Elijah�s farm in Franklin Co. Elijah wrote his will July 21st and died less than 5 months later.

Elijah and Rachel had 10 children, nine would live to marry. Thomas the oldest married Rachel Morgan in Fayette Co., OH. In 1830 they moved to Vermilion Co., IL. Their son Francis was in Oregon by 1850. Francis was the father of Somerville, who married in Sonoma, Mexico, the ancestor of Daniel Fred. Elizabeth, called Sally, was the oldest daughter of Elijah. She married John Foster Kerr on December 06, 1804 in Ross Co., OH. We don�t know the parents of John Kerr, but there were a number of Kerr-Chenoweth marriages. Parts of Elizabeth�s family ended up in Oregon. John Foster Chenoweth, the second of 4 sons of Elijah that married, settled in Madison Co., OH with his wife Margaret 'Peggy' Ferguson. Descendants of their son Hezikiah went to Northern California. A daughter, Malinda Horatio, married Henry Farrar, an English immigrant, and had large lines that settled in Kansas. Malinda�s brother Lewis Foster also went to Kansas. Several of the children remained in Ohio like Jeremiah Browning, Elijah, and Francis Marion. Elijah�s daughter Sarah married John Haines and went to Illinois. Joseph married Margaret Heath and remained in Ohio settling in Franklin Co. We have not successfully traced much of the family of Cassandra who married John Morgan. Her family was last seen in Pickaway Co., OH. Rachel married Jesse Woods and though she died at about the age of 30, her two children would go to Iowa and then Oregon and form a large family documented in the Henkle Genealogy. Like his brother Joseph, Elijah, Jr. would remain in Ohio. He married his cousin Nancy Chenoweth, a daughter of Thomas Chenoweth of Clark Co. in the line of William, Jr. The lines of Ruth, the youngest daughter, can only be traced today through her one daughter Rachel Davidson who married Jesse L. Partlow in Illinois. Like her sister Rachel, Ruth who had married James Davidson, died after 6 years leaving 2 small children.

In the 1850 Census, there were 26 families from Elijah, numbering 133 people found mostly in Ohio but also IN, IL, IA, WA and WI.

ELIJAH3 CHENOWETH (THOMAS2, JOHN1) was born June 12, 1762 in Frederick Co., VA, and died December 05, 1828 in Franklin Co., OH. He married RACHEL FOSTER August 25, 1785 in Allegany Co., MD, daughter of JOHN FOSTER and ELIZABETH LEWIS. She was born August 11, 1768 in Virginia, and died April 17, 1825 in Franklin Co., OH.

Finding the Chenoweth Site

By Jon Egge, webmaster

I didn�t perhaps pick the best URL name for our family genealogy, but by the time I got around to getting a unique URL most common Chenoweth listings were taken. Oh well. In the early days I would register with webcrawler and some genealogy list sites. This was always time consuming. Then along came Google who picked us up and has kept the site among their top ten Chenoweth listings for years. Many cousins have found us by googling the Chenoweth name. Recently I went to the new Dog Pile search engine. It notes our site from Google, Ask and Yahoo! Search. �Ask� has the best site description (The Families of John Chenoweth & Mary Calvert ... Overview links to over 428 pages of the Chenoweth Site.) I don�t know how you get a search machine to correctly describe a site. Being a front page listing on a search engine is a big plus, and Google, Ask, Yahoo and Dog Pile are honest search machines. I wonder about MSN which doesn�t even list the site at all. [revision: after we published this article, MSN has revised their search parameters and our family side is now in a top position] As a side note, a place called quantcast.com describes site visitors as follows: This site reaches approximately 10,508 U.S. monthly uniques. The site attracts a senior, mostly Caucasian, slightly more female than male audience. I guess that�s us cousins. There are many genealogy surname sites which claim to want to tell you about Chenoweth but not a one, even ancestry.com, references our site, which is after all, the premier site for Chenoweth genealogy.

A MOMENT WITH THE WEBMASTER

Descendant of Dr Henry S.5 Chenoweth of Chillicothe, OH

The Shoemakers of Anne Chenoweth

In March of 2006 I was contacted by Alan Porter Blackburn when he found his name at the website. At last I was in contact with a descendant of Anne Chenoweth, the youngest daughter of Arthur of Bartholomew Co., IN. This section of the database is a 100% reconstruction. In Cora�s book she misplaces Arthur�s children under Arthur, Jr. She however did successfully describe Arthur�s children, John and Rachel, albeit in the wrong place, but Absolom was wrong as was Arthur and nothing was known of the other daughters. Harris incorporated Cora�s mistakes but added marriages and families for the daughters Margaret and Elizabeth. The lines of Arthur were corrected by Jonathan Paul and I was slowly able to resurrect the real lines of Absolom. We knew however that the daughters Mary (Polly) and Ann were alive when Arthur left his will in 1828 in Bartholomew Co. We still don�t know what happened to Mary. There are some possibilities, the most likely is that she is the Mary who married George Finley in Jefferson Co., KY on 17 Sep 1797. Arthur was in Jefferson Co. at the time and his daughter Mary would have been 19. I was able however to tie in the marriage of Anne Chenoweth, found in the Harris research listings of unknown marriages to John Ritchie Shoemaker. This marriage occurred on November 20, 1828 in Bartholomew County about the time that Arthur died. The location is a dead give away as is John Shoemaker as he was a friend of Arthur�s and two of his daughters had married Rachel�s children, William and Arthur Chenoweth. Ann was John�s second marriage. Connie Einspahr, a descendant of John Shoemaker by his first marriage, told me that Ann had children and they were to be found with her in Clinton Co., IN. By that time John Shoemaker had died and Anna had remarried to a Smith as she was living with her 3 sons, Leonard, James and Newton. The 3 boys are also listed in the will of John Shoemaker proved 6 Dec 1848, as is Ann is wife.

Connie Einspahr apparently had been in contact with Alan Porter Blackburn as she gave me a straight descendant line to him, which I included. Pete and I added family information from the 1880 and 1900 Census for Leonard Shoemaker whose family we were able to find in Blue Earth Co., MN. But we had made little other progress. Now came Alan with work researched by his mother that added 6 full pages of descendants from Leonard Shoemaker. I had not had a daughter line expansion like this in sometime. Interesting Alan�s immediate family now puts part of the Chenoweth family in Brazil.

ANNE4 CHENOWETH (ARTHUR3, JOHN2, JOHN1) was born May 18, 1793 in Jefferson Co., KY, and died Unknown. She married JOHN RITCHIE SHOEMAKER November 20, 1828 in Bartholomew Co., IN, son of LEONARD SHOEMAKER and EUNICE RITCHEY. He was born October 07, 1794 in Tennessee, and died Bef. December 06, 1848.

Hiram and a descendant

Arthur Chenoweth of Pike Co., OH had a large family by two wives. The list in the Harris book is 18, but the estate records of Arthur as analyzed by Glenda Lloyd finds only 14, eight by his first wife Elizabeth Williams and 6 by the second wife Susannah. We are not sure of Susannah�s surname. Some accounts have Carter, others Carr or Kerr. Both surnames had other links with the families of Thomas(2). Arthur firmly established himself in Pike Co., his home being used as the first court house for the newly formed county. Knowledge has slowly been added over the years as to Arthur�s lines, but a great deal is still missing. Elizabeth Williams was the apparent daughter of Vincent Williams, an immigrant from Wales. This information came from postings by Don Matson and an email of George M. Williams. Elizabeth�s 8 children were 5 daughters and 3 sons. There is much missing from the record. Though marriages are given for the two oldest daughters, Elizabeth to Samuel Corns and Mary to Henry Carter, neither family has ever been found, even though we have a listing of some of Mary�s Carter children. The same is basically true of the daughter Ruth who married Benjamin Grimes. Once again we have a list of children and even a marriage for one of Ruth�s daughters but what is known ends there and not brought into present day. Rachel, another of the daughters, does not fare much better. She married Isaac Rogers and though we have the names of 5 children, none is carried past 1880. Only Martha, the 5th daughter, who married Peter Shriver, has a well documented family line that traces down to present day descendants.

The 3 males are much better documented by virtue of the Chenoweth name. Though Joseph and his wife died leaving small children, their children and their families continued to live on in the Pike Co. area. Absolom as well fathered a large family that resided in the Pike Co. area. George�s family is only scantily known, but at least three of his sons are traced through Texas and into the west, though the male name has died out. Susannah, who survived Arthur had 6 children, 2 sons and 4 daughters. Susananh took her children to Indiana after Arthur's death. The daughter Tamar apparently never married. Luke who married Polly McElwain went on to Iowa, dying there just before the 1850 Census. His large, well defined family moved onto Missouri and Oklahoma. Harriett Chenoweth married Amos Branson Smith and settled in Iowa. This is the line of Glenda Lloyd. The youngest daughter Millie was lost to us until recently documented by Glenda and Sandy Obie. An article on this is found in the February 2003 newsletter. Ada married Charles Parnam Boswell and settled first in Tippecanoe Co. and then neighboring Benton Co. We have a little bit of Ada�s family and a descendant in the form of Dale Andrew Brown of Washington. Hiram, the other son remains elusive. He and his wife Nancy Wolfe died in 1843 leaving 4 small children. In 1850 the 3 sons are all found living with their Aunt Ada in Tippecanoe Co. The daughter Elizabeth is not there but she is given to have married Nathaniel P. Merritt in 1851. Sadly this couple has never been found in a subsequent Census. Both the sons Joseph and Arthur married in Tippecanoe Co. Joseph to Luna Elvira Boswell, assumed to be related to Ada�s husband Parnam. Arthur married later to Mary DeFreese on November 26, 1864. John is not found after the 1850 census, but I have long suspected that he is the John Wesley Chenoweth who married Mary Ann Anderson in Piatt Co., IL. on April 05, 1860.

Joseph�s family is tracked through the 1870 Census living at the time in Iroquois Co. The daughters are found in 1880, but the 2 sons and Joseph and his wife have never been located. Two of the daughters, Hattie and Myrtle, married in Madison Co., IN and the other daughter Eva is found there as a servant in the 1880 Census. There is an unidentified Charles Chenoweth age 30 listed as a cousin to a Ross family in the same county. Joseph and Luna had a son Charles who should be age 26. Perhaps this is he. The whereabouts of the other son, William, is unknown. Neither of the two married daughters, Hattie to Charles D. Wellington and Myrtle to Charles Piper has been traced to living descendants.

In 1998 I was contacted by Sue Ellen Peglow of Arkansas who said she was a descendant of Hiram�s through the son Arthur. Sue never elaborated on this past any information I had at the time and I soon lost track of her. This past year, Peter expanded on our knowledge of the family of Hiram�s son Arthur, tracing the family of Arthur�s daughter Jennie and her marriage to Charles H. Blessing. There was one son, Arthur Marcus Blessing, mentioned in the Harris book and also cited by Sue as her grandfather. Pete�s information led me to reconnect with Sue and I am hoping that lead will eventually lead to more information. It is at present the only descendant line of Hiram�s family that we have to present day.

An interesting point in all this is the name Alonzo. John Wesley Chenoweth who married Mary Ann Anderson named a son Alonzo Chenoweth. I have only one other instance of the name Alonzo Chenoweth in the database. Now Ada Chenoweth Boswell had a son named Hiram Alonzo Chenoweth born about a year after Ada�s brother Hiram died. This leads me to wonder if Hiram might have been Hiram Alonzo Chenoweth. This would certainly boost the case for John Wesley Chenoweth being the son of Hiram. I would also like to get a DNA sample from the family of John Wesley. Proving him to be part of the family would virtually close the deal as there simply are no other John Chenoweths born about 1837 in Indiana known within the family. In support of the name Alonzo being important to Hiram�s family Jennie�s son Arthur Marcus Blessing named one of his sons, Alonzo Paul Blessing.

HIRAM4 CHENOWETH (ARTHUR3, THOMAS2, JOHN1) was born 1806 in Ross Co., OH (now Pike Co.), and died 1843. He married NANCY WOLFE April 02, 1829 in Pike Co., OH. She died 1843.

Children of HIRAM CHENOWETH and NANCY WOLFE are:

1. ELIZABETH5 CHENOWETH, b. Aft. 1829, Pike Co., OH; m. NATHANIEL P. MERRITT, June 01, 1851, Benton Co., IN; b. Aft. 1819.

Pike County, Illinois

When I first started entering Chenoweths into the database, I made a number of confusions between those in Pike Co., OH and Pike Co., IL. Both were counties that became large settling points for the Chenoweth family as it moved west. Both still are home to Chenoweths who have lived in those environs for over 200 years in the case of Pike Co., OH and 170 years in the case of Pike Co., IL. Part of my befuddlement was the auto fill in the Family Tree Maker program and I quickly had to become very attentive as to which Pike Co. was correct. Pike Co., OH was a bastion of the Thomas(2) family. Families of 6 of the children of Thomas settled here, sons: John, Arthur, Richard and Abraham and The Downings of Mary and some of the Scotts of Sarah. Actually some of these were only in neighboring Ross Co. from whence Pike Co., was formed in 1815. Both descendants of Arthur and Abraham stayed on in this area long after the others had moved on. Pike Co., IL on the other hand was settled by families of John(2). From Kentucky came the families of John(2) from two grandsons, Jonathan and William, both sons of William(3), and the cousin marriage of Abraham Chenoweth and Rachel, the daughter of Arthur(3). Also settling in Pike Co. were the families of Phebe Ashbrook Tucker, a daughter of Mary(3). The Tuckers had come to Illinois via Ohio.

There are several parallel instances of common county names of two or more states that were heavily populated by Chenoweths. These include Randolph Co with West Virginia being the long time home of John(4) and Indiana, the destination of the Baltimore descendants of William(4) the son of Arthur, Jr. Washington Co was the Tennessee home of the lines of John(3), the son of Richard as was Washington Co., AR some 40 years later. Washington Co., IN was the home for John(4) the son of John Chenoweth of Hampshire Co., VA. There were Chenoweths in Warren Co., OH and to a lesser extent Warren Co., IN. There were the abutting counties of Vermillion Co., IN and Vermilion Co., IL with added problem of the missing �L� in the case of Illinois. These are but the most common of dozens of other instances.

In 1850 there were 32 families numbering 146 people of the Chenoweth family living in Pike Co., IL, about 15% of the known Census enumeration that we have detail for from that decade. 14 of these bore the Chenoweth name and 18 were daughter lines, including 7 of Phebe�s families whose presence was made known to me though the research of Jennifer Lane of Arkansas. By 1860, the population, despite the outward migration to Missouri, Arkansas and California, had climbed to 157 people in 28 families. One of these was George Shriver from the Thomas(2) line, migrating from Highland Co., OH [George was a son of Peter Shriver and Martha Chenoweth who had married in Ross Co. which formed in part into Pike Co., OH]. Family names included: Akin [also Aiken], Alsbury, Brooks, Chenoweth, Davis, DeWitt, Gaston, Gregory, Gremm, Head, Kile, Meadows, Reeder, Rigg, Sago, Shriver, Thompson, Triplett, Tucker, Tuey, Watkins, Wing. The extensive data we have of the 1880 Census tells us that this population had grown to 179 in the ensuing 20 years. I have no idea what the Chenoweth population of this county is today. I know that Wayne Williams Chenoweth, a 9th generation descendant still lives in Chambersburg, Pike Co., IL but unfortunately he was completely uninterested in talking to me. This past March (2007) however I was contacted by Debbie Damron whose Grandmother Clara Louise Chenoweth was born in Pike Co. Clara descends from James Hackely Chenoweth one of the sons of William Chenoweth of Nelson Co., KY. James had come to Pike Co. about 1833, shortly after his Kentucky marriage to Artemisia Catherine Birkhead. As Debbie looked at the website she also found the name of her grandfather on her father�s side, Frank S. Mills. This was part of Phebe�s family and it became apparent that Debbie�s mother Pauline had married her 6th cousin in the form of Paul Franklin Mills. Neither Debbie nor her parents had known of this relationship, but I certainly had expected the possibility of the event given the length of time so many families had lived in the area. This marriage combined the families of William(3) with his sister Mary(3). But Debbie�s surprising discoveries were not yet over, for a week later she discovered that Albert Durbin, the father-in-law of Clara�s first husband, was also a descendant, listed at the website and Clara�s marriage to Paul Durbin was a 5th cousin once removed marriage. Paul, too was a Ashbrook/Tucker descendant. Paul was Pauline�s father, bring her 2nd relationship to her husband somewhat closer as 3rd cousins once removed. I find this a delightful story of shared heritage.

Military Service

The Military service page created by Pete Chenoweth continues to grow, as information becomes available. Nancy Forsyth, was delighted when we launched this page. She had asked me to consider such a page early on in the first year of the website. Nancy had served in the Navy Waves and had met her husband when he returned from the Pacific. Born Mildred Ann Hannah, Nancy descended from the line of Stephen Ross Chenoweth, a Kentucky line of over 200 years. The Chenoweth family has a long proud history of serving our country in defense of the nation. There are some 34 listings for family members who served in the American Revolution. Well over 60% of the family can trace to a line that qualified for DAR or SAR rolls. I know in recent years I have been contacted by a half dozen cousins currently involved in Iraq. The Civil War page lists the service of over 380 family members on both sides of the conflict. The names of nine family members are inscribed on the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington DC. The most entries however can be found in those that served in World War II, the largest military involvement in our history. To date we have listings of over 500 family members, 56 of which died in service. Among these numbers are 3 who served in the Bataan defense force and endured the Batan Death march. One of these survived the over 3-year captivity in a POW camp and one died during this harsh internment. The third managed to escape captivity while later being transported. Two of these individuals were descendants of Elijah, son of Thomas, who served in the American Revolution.

MERVYN D.8 CHENOWETH (ARCHIE DEAN7, SIMEON6, HEZIKIAH5, JOHN FOSTER4, ELIJAH3, THOMAS2, JOHN1) was born February 15, 1913 in Oakland, Alameda Co., CA, and died January 01, 1987 in Hawaii. He is buried with his wife DORTHEA RUTH MONTGOMERY in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, HI. Known as the Punchbowl, Deanna and I visited there a couple of years ago looking up the grave of her uncle, Hans Martin Luokkala who died just before the end of the war, being strafed by a enemy plane onboard ship. Mervyn returned from his ordeal to marry and has one daughter Vana Chenoweth Lott.

LYLE7 EESLEY (LILLY DALE6 CHENOWETH, JOSEPH HILL5, ELIJAH4, ELIJAH3, THOMAS2, JOHN1) was born about June 1917 in Franklin Co., OH, and died July 25, 1942 in a Japanese prison camp, The PHILIPPINES.

WILLIAM CLEMENTS9 CHENOWETH (JUSTIN ALONSO 'JUDD'8, WILLIAM LEWIS7, MATHIAS ROSE6, LEWIS ROSE5, JOHN4, ARTHUR3, JOHN2, JOHN1) was born September 30, 1914 in West Union, Clark Co., IL, and died June 24, 2004 in Seattle, King Co., WA. Bill was a West Point graduate. Before the war, while stationed in Ohio he found and married ANN CHENOWETH KARRAKER, his 6th Chenoweth cousin, in Kentucky, reuniting the families of Absolom and Arthur, both sons of John(2). As described in his obituary, Bill �..was one of 70,000 American and Filipino troops who surrendered to the Japanese on April 9, 1942, and marched more than 60 miles across the island of Luzon with no food and water. Chenoweth could have been one of about 11,000 soldiers who died on the Bataan Death March. But his iron will kept him going through the march and for more than two years in a Japanese prison camp, his family said. �He kept thinking to himself, 'It can't end like this,' and visualizing my mother and brother," said Ann Morrison of Knob Noster, MO., one of Mr. Chenoweth's two daughters. Mr. Chenoweth eventually escaped when a Japanese transport ship he and other prisoners were aboard was hit by American torpedoes. Most of the prisoners went down on the ship, but Mr. Chenoweth escaped over the side and swam to an island, where he met Filipino guerrillas. He was later taken by submarine from the Philippines to Australia, and he returned to the United States in 1944. His persistence characterized Mr. Chenoweth throughout his life, his family said, from his Oregon childhood to his military service and his family life.�

I am sure that many more names will be added as cousins become aware of this fine family tribute to those who served our country: http://www.chenowethsite.com/chenwar.htm

Another brief discussion of male lines...

In May 2005, we had a contact from a Bruce Chenoweth, a grandson of Roy Burbank, in the line of Richard Beasman of Baltimore. Bruce is one of only 6 ninth generation males from this ancient Baltimore line. Today we have 20 male lines that extend down from the 29 known male-Chenoweth grandsons of the family. Six of those are from John and six are from Thomas, leaving only 8 lines to be divided among the other 3 sons. Richard has one, William two, so Arthur has 5 lines. For a time I had thought that the line of Arthur�s son Samuel was at a dead end, but recent research has found David Richard Chenoweth, II, born 2001, a 10th generation Chenoweth.

It is not easy to get an accurate picture of the present family. We are now some 77 years, almost a lifetime, past the 1930 Census. In 1930, we presently estimate there might have been as many as 1,728 male-Chenoweths living. This figure would be on the high end of an actual figure for lack of death dates. We have presently found only 1,413 of these in the Census. The 1930 Census is at the low end of our success range which runs from a high of 93.4% (for the 1850, the baseline Census) to a low of 82.2% for the 1930. It may be that we have over estimated the family size in 1930 by missing a number of death dates or it may be that the hurried indexing of the 1930 census leaves some missing. We have actually found more males (1,414) in the 1920 Census and it is unlikely that the figure would have gone down, at least it would be the first negative growth in the family between any succeeding decade. That alone seems to support a certain gap in the 1930 indexing. A corroboration of this is the fact that there was a 16% population growth in this country during the 1920s. Granted some of this is immigration, but the Chenoweth family would certainly have experienced a similar growth as to the general population.

The dynamics of the family, can be captured with some certainty through the 7th generation. For the Chenoweth family, the 7th generation male-name begins in 1833 and ends 1946, beginning with Marshall Chenoweth born in Randolph Co., WV, a grandson of William Pugh [John2], and ending with Billy Wayne Chenoweth in Texas, a great grandson of George Washington Chenoweth of Candem Co., MO in the line of Arthur. This trailing end is young for a number of reasons. Richard was the last of Arthur�s sons. He fathered children into his 70s and Billy Wayne�s grandfather was born when George Washington was 60 years old. There is 120 years between the birth of Richard in 1755 and his last grandson John P. in 1875. We know of 813, male-Chenoweths born to 7th generation. The 8th generation should be closed off by now, but we are not certain as to who the last 8th generation male would be, as our family knowledge obviously begins to taper off. I need to take the time to expand the spreadsheet we are using to include all known males. At present, it attempts to include all known males born before 1950 that we know of. Bruce is an example that we don�t know everything once we leave the 1930 framework. There is obviously no data field to use and we can only work with projections from what we know.

The 8th generation begins in 1857 in the form of James Milton Chenoweth in Illinois [a John2 Thomas3 line]. Our spreadsheet has 851 males in the 8th generation, but naturally misses anyone we might know about born after 1950 and of course everyone we don�t yet have in the database. I do know of a 8th generation male born in 1983. The family is in the 14th generation on the leading edge, but I have yet to document a male past the 13th generation. Daughter lines by nature always become the vanguard. The 9th generation is at this point probably reaching it�s final member but certainly with the last 8th generation that I know being born in 1983 this may not yet be the case and my knowledge of this generation is some what lacking. By 1950, we know of 581 9th generation males, 185 in the 10th generation and 16 in the 11th generation. I have more in the database, but so far the last half-century has not been organized into a matrix that we can view in perspective. I doubt if I have the names of 2/3�s of what has been born in the last say 20 years.

As an aside, we have never been able to find Roy Burbank in the 1910 Census, one crucial to the family genealogy as it would have listed his first wife and the 2 children. Otherwise from 1900 to 1930, the other three Censuses, Roy was in New Rochelle. Bruce tells me he worked as a policeman for the town adding that in 1910 he was still probably living on a houseboat, a domicile that seems to have been missed in the Census. It isn�t that there is a lot missing, but when you are shooting for the moon to get everyone, you find that you fall a little short all the time.

�96 Summer Olympics Revisited
By Peter Chenoweth

During a recent trip to Atlanta, my wife and I took the opportunity to visit Centennial Park, site of a portion of the 1996 Summer Olympics. During the preparations for the Olympics individuals were able to purchase special bricks that became the walkways through the park. These bricks could be embossed with personalized inscriptions. We had purchased one of these bricks and had our name and home town placed on it, but had never taken the opportunity to view it.

A search of the automated index, indicated not only where our brick was located, but 8 other bricks that had been purchased by a Chenoweth. Of these I have only been able to identify, with reasonable certainty, 2 of them. It would be nice to know the story behind these other bricks.

If anybody is interested I took digital pictures of these bricks and would be willing to share them.

(Our brick): CHENOWETH�S - ST CLOUD, FL

(2 bricks purchased by a Richard K. Chenoweth): CHAD J. MCARDLE - CONYERS, GA * DICK CHENOWETH - CONYERS, GA

(brick was purchased by a Dr Chenoweth): CODY WATERS �95 - MARIST HIGH

(2 bricks that are probably a family): MEG � ERIK � SCOTT CHENOWETH * DAVID & LINDA CHENOWETH

(2 bricks purchased by Christine Ann Kessler � probably her parents): JOHN KESSLER - EDMOND, OK * MAXINE KESSLER - EDMOND, OK

(details unknown): RAY CHENOWETH - APOLLO BEACH, FL

Questions That Haunt Me??
By Randy Wynn (courtesy Rootsweb.com 5 Aug 1997)

• Can you cry under water?
• How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
• Why do you have to �put your two cents in�..but it�s only a �penny for your thoughts�? Where�s that extra penny going to?
• Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
• What disease did cured ham actually have?
• Why is it that people say they �slept like a baby� when babies wake up like every two hours?
• Why are you IN a movie, but you�re ON TV?
• Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
• If the professor on Gilligan�s Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can�t he fix a hole in a boat?
