5031 An Anabaptist exiled to Germany in 1671, in 1672 at Ibersheim at age 81.

Notes from George Shank's research:

" Michael Sr. lived at Hinton in the village of Eggiwil, where all of his children were born. He was among the large group of Anabaptists that were expelled from Emmenthal Valley in October 1671. Among these were his son Michael Jr. and his daughter Barbara and their families. According to the Anabaptist refugee list dated 1 Jan 1672, he was living in Ibersheim, Pfalz, Germany (about 8 miles north of Worms, on the west bank of the Rhein River). It appears that he was 81 years old at the time. Also, he may have had as many as 17 children. Of those, at least three were Anabaptist; Michael Jr, Barbara, and Johannes. Michael Jr. was referred to as "his obedient son" and was with him in Ibersheim. His daughter Barbara and her husband returned to Eggiwil, Switzerland within a year. Johannes appears never to have left Switzerland." 
Schenk, Michael Sr. (I00292)
 
5032 AN OLD WAR STORY

There is "An Old War Story" long past the time for telling. During the War of 1812 and at a time when the Americans occupied the Niagara and Sandwich areas, then temporarily gained control of Lake Erie, a group of residents of the Long Point Settlement, London District, aided the Americans. This was more than likely due to dissatisfaction with the Government which was in place at the time, judging by some events documented by the Courts of the Quarter Sessions in the early 1800s. At one time General de Rottenburg had ordered the Militia disbanded west of Kingston.

Lieut. Col. Henry Bostwick learned of activities of this band of marauders and took it upon himself to march with a group of the Norfolk Militia volunteers, forty five in all, from Dover to the mouth of the Nanticoke Creek and confront the bandits at the home of one John Dunham. On the morning of November 13th, 1813, they surprised the group, killing some and taking others prisoner, with one of the Militia, Benjamin Chandler, also losing his life. Thus took place "THE BATTLE OF NANTICOKE".

On December 15th, 1813, Lieut. Henry Medcalf with nine Norfolk Militia and seven Provincial Dragoons marched from Dover west to Port Talbot where they were joined by nine Middlesex Militia, then they marched on to the Thames where they were again joined by eight members of the Kent Militia. They surprised the Americans at McCrae's farm near Chatham, defeating them and taking prisoners, though all the prisoners taken there were Americans and as such were eventually paroled.

The Nanticoke prisoners were taken to York Gaol, then the following spring taken to Ancaster, where their trials for High Treason continued from May 23rd, 1814 till June 21st, 1814 and were known as "THE BLOODY ASSIZES OF ANCASTER". Fifteen men were convicted, ten of which were from the London District. Eight of these convicts, six from the London District - John Dunham, Isaiah Brink, Adam Chrysler, Daton Lindsay, Benjamin Simmonds and George Peacock the Younger, along with Noah Payne Hopkins of Queenston and Aaron Stevens of Niagara Township were hanged on a common gallows at Burlington Heights on July 20th, 1814. Three more - Jacob Overholser of Niagara and Isaac Pettit and GARRETT NULL of the London District - died the following spring in prison, of the ague or jail fever. Cornelius Howey of the Burford Gore probably died of wounds received at Nanticoke, after pleading guilty.

These men left young families to be cared for and raised by others, and had their property confiscated and sold by the Government. Isaac Pettit was a brother in law of John Dickson, who on or about the 28th day of October, 1814, was to commit "THE MURDER OF CAPTAIN FRANCIS" at the mouth of the Sandusk Creek.. Both Pettit and Dickson were sons in law of Reuben Green of Townsend who was killed in a skirmish at Sugar Loaf the night of Captain Francis' murder. A deposition was taken of Elizabeth (Green) Dickson when she returned from Buffalo, after her husband was shot during the skirmish at Sugar Loaf, made it to Buffalo where he died and was buried before she returned to Upper Canada. According to her their intent was to kill William Francis, Thomas Francis, William Drake and Colonel Thomas Talbot. At the Assizes William Francis had testified against Isaiah Brink, Adam Chrysler and Isaac Pettit and his son Thomas Francis testified against GARRETT NULL, John Johnson, Adam Chrysler, Isaac Pettit and John Dunham, so the motive for the murder was most likely revenge.....

5033 Anna Stauffer signs (makes her mark "A") the receipts for inheritance in 1811 and 1821, so it would appear her husband is deceased by that time. We believe this Stauffer family, with administration papers for the father John deceased in 1807 and having a wife Anna, to be ours.

Anna Stauffer's receipt for inheritance, filed with her father Jacob Huber's will in the London District Surrogate Registry, was witnessed by Christian Moyer, as was Johannes Stauffer's will filed in York County, Pa.

5043 Benjamin B HOOVER was born on Oct 23 1845 in 
VA. He died before 1865. Died in the Union Army "We were told by Minor Hoover, and I believe others, that Uncle Silas, Uncle George, and Uncle Benjamin worked their way through the woods and mountains until they crossed the Ohio River into Ohio, so they would not have to fight for Slavery and against their friends and neighbors,--but then later Uncle Benjamin was in the Union Army as a cook and died there of disease. ?

5049 Bernhard Wiebe was Schulze (mayor) of Neuhorst, Chortitza Colony, South Russia from 1823 to 1847. In the Oct 1816 Census his age is given as 24, which appears to be incorrect. However, in the 1801 Census his age is given as 6 and in the 1808 Census his age is given as 13, suggesting that he was born ca 1795.  Wiebe, Bernhard (I290)
