included a Will for David Garard, son of John Garard. David's wife was listed as Jane. His children were David, Justice, John, Nathaniel, Matthew Rippey, Sarah Quick, and Margaret Pugh, wife of Benjamin Pugh. David's father, John Garard, was me ntioned in the Will. No Caleb is
mentioned. Caleb must be the son of David Jr? A grandson, David, is mentioned as being the son of Justice.

MARGARET HIS WIFE OF MIAMI COUNTY"- GIVE MARGARET'S NAME.

27. ABNER'S ESTATE SHOWS THAT HE HAD ACQUIRED CONSIDERABLE
WEALTH, AND THE PRICES PAID FOR SOME OF HIS POSSESSIONS INDICATE
HOW DEAR THEY WERE. THE SINGLE MOST EXPENSIVE ITEM SOLD WAS A
WAGON, SOLD TO JACOB WILTSE FOR $76.50. OBVIOUSLY AS LATE AS
1819, TRANSPORTATION WAS STILL PRIMITIVE. A SORREL MARE WENT FOR
$60.50; A BAY HORSE FOR $55.67, AND WILLIAM LUCE BOUGHT A SORREL
COLT FOR $45.50. BY CONTRAST, A COW AND A CALF WENT FOR $21.51.
BEDS AND "SPREADS" ("REAL BEDS?") WERE SOLD FOR $12.06 AND $13.00
WHILE A "BEDSTEAD AND CORD" WERE ONLY $2.63. A CLOCK, WHICH MUST
HAVE BEEN A RARITY, WENT FOR $16.00, WHILE A LOOKING GLASS WENT
FOR $2.00. EDWARD MITCHELL PAID $7.69 FOR THE LARGE BIBLE (AND
PERHAPS TOOK IT WITH HIM TO INDIANA?). THE GARARD FARM MUST HAVE
BEEN SELF-SUSTAINING AS THERE WERE TOOLS FOR CLEARING,
CULTIVATING AND HARVESTING, AND LIVESTOCK--TWELVE GEESE, THE
THREE HORSES, EIGHT SHEEP,THREE COWS WITH CALVES, THREE HEIFERS,
TWO WHITE STEERS, THREE SOWS, ONE SOW WITH PIGS, ONE BOAR AND
ELEVEN SHOTE (?). ABNER MUST HAVE TAKEN HIS COWS TO A NEIGHBOR TO
BREED AS THERE'S NO BULL LISTED. JONATHAN BOUGHT THE LAST ITEM ON
THE LIST, A BARREL OF WHISKY , FOR $3.06 AND ONE/FOURTH CENT IT
MUST HAVE BEEN HARD FOR MARTHA TO SEE ALL THESE TREASURED
POSSESSIONS GO, ESPECIALLY THE BIBLE AND DICTIONARY. MAYBE
EDWARD MITCHELL GAVE HER THE USE OF THE BIBLE DURING HER LIFETIME.

28 MARTHA COULD WRITE. SHE SIGNED A RECEIPT FOR $35. AS HER SHARE
OF THE ESTATE 22 JAN., 1821.

408 About ten weeks after the capture, the Indians decided to celebrate their escape from pursuit by burning one of their captives For their victim they selected Catharine du Bois and her baby Sara, who afterward married Joost Janse Van Veteren. A c ubical pile of logs was arranged and the mother and child were placed upon it. When the Indians were about to apply the torch Catharine began to sing a Huguenot hymn she had learned in earlier days in France. The Indians withheld the fire and li stened When she finished they demanded another song and then another Before the last hymn was finished Dutch Soldiers arrived the captives were all rescued and the Indians terribly punished. Du Bois, Sarah (I3016)

410 According to Brythonic Gaelic, the name "Watkins" means "little Walt or
Walter". The suffix "kin" is a diminutive of Walter. This information
was told to me by a professor of Welsh in a local junior college. He
has a PhD and is the head of the department. He gave me a book to read
about Welsh names that was fascinating. "Ap" means "son of" and is
probably the reason some Welsh names have changes--as "Powell" which
wasoriginally "Howell", but with the "Ap" was changed to "Powell" (Ap
Howell= "Powell".
SCHMID-KATHLEEN@worldnet.att.net says (via David Watkins), I am a direct
descendant of the Henry Watkins of Henrico County., VA. b. 1637/38 m.
1658 d. 1714/15. Based on information that was generously sent to me,
the connection back to England I seek to make is:
James Watkins b. ?, Wales, Great Britain, Came to the US aboard the
PHOENIX with Captain John Smith in 1608. James had a son named Henry
Watkins b. 1585, Wales, Great Britain; and Henry was the father of the
Henry Watkins which I referenced above.
James Watkins apparently had three sons who came to America. Per one
source: "Henry's brother's Peregrin and Daniel, had come to Accomack
County in 1621, Peregrin aboard the GEORGE. He was 20 years of age (his
muster of James City in 1624); 'Perregrim Watkinses, age 24, in the
GEORGE, 1621.' Daniel came aboard the CHARLES to James City County,
Virginia."

411 According to Eva Harmison, Matthew had 7 children, four sons and three daughters, then disappeared and the children became orphans. Harmison, Jr. Matthew Jr. (I5995)
 
412 According to granddaughter, Jean Blashfield Black, Artwill and wife, Marie Walton had four children; twins who died, Floyd Artwill Blashfield (her father) and Herbert Walton Blashfield.

Floyd Artwill moved the family from Wisconsin down to the Chicago area in 1948, but most of them have been back to Wisconsin for many years (note, March 28, 2000).

414 According to obituary, Darrel worked as a gas station attendant, a roofer, Bunny Bread Bakery, Eau Claire County Shops and owned and operated Snyder Small Engine, Altoona. He was a member of Altoona Volunteer Fire Dep't and president of the Sin gle Swingers Club. He was an avid stock car driver and fan. (Eau Claire Leader Telegram) Snyder, Darrel Vern (I5317)
 
415 according to records, did not know his birth date; however, based on his age at time of death he was born 11 January 1754. Several sources give his place of birth as North Carolina ? perhaps Scotland Neck, Halifax County, or more likely Scotla nd County or Anson County, both near the South Carolina border. The names of his parents are not confirmed at this time, but the search continues.

According to several sources Henry's paternal grandparents were born in England and his father was in the King's Army and then fought in the Revolutionary War on the side of the colonists with three of his sons, one of whom was Henryl Army about 1778 and served as a private in the South Carolina troops in Colonel Brandon's Regiment. He fought in the battles of Eutaw Springs (8 September 1781) and Cowpens (17 January 1781) and was in the sieges of Ninety-S ix (22 May to 18 June 1781) and Charleston (29 March to 12 May 1780). After the fall of Charleston he entered the ranger unit formed by Captain Avery. For his war service Henry was granted a pension of $80 per annum on 1 November 1833 at age 78.



Yet another source says Henry was of Irish descent. If so, his father may have been one of the Scotch-Irish Presbyterians who came through the Saluda Gap from North Carolina into South Carolina and settled in the north central part of


The first recorded mention of Henry was in connection with a land grant for 250 acres on the Tyger River in Berkley County, South Carolina dated 25 April 1774. (In the Colonial period Union County, South Carolina, where Henry was known to have s
ettled, was considered part of Berkley and Craven Counties.) Interestingly, Henry's surname was given as Thickpenny. Additional land, court and census records for at least the next 30 years give his name as Henry Thickpenny, and so one must assu
me that to be the original family name. There were no other Thickpenny in South or North Carolina in the Colonial Period, but there were several Penny/Penney. One possible scenario is that Henry's father and brothers (if the Revolutionary War s
t ory is to be believed), shortened the family name early on and that Henry himself did not follow suit until he left South Carolina around 1804. Among the records identifying Henry as Henry Thickpenny:

* A 1786 land transaction in which James Adington purchased 535 acres on the Tyger River in Union County, Ninety-Six District, South Carolina adjoining property owned by Henry Thickpenny. (This James Adington [Addington] was the grandfathfdon Graham who married Thomas W. Penny, Henry's great grandson, in Darke County, Ohio in 1849.)
* Union County, South Carolina Minutes of the County Court show that on 29 September 1787 Thomas Brandon won a suit against Henry Thickpenny. Thomas Brandon was a colonel in the South Carolina Militia during the Revolutionary War and Henry'nn says he served under a Colonel Brandon, so this Brandon may have been Henry's superior during the war. It is unclear what the suit was about, but Henry asked for an appeal to the Court of Common Pleas. He was ordered to file his reason s for an appeal but refused, and so the verdict of the jury was confirmed. Brandon was awarded 10 pounds, 14 shillings and 4 pence, and costs of the suit. (Seated on the jury that found for Brandon was Ralph Hunt, the father of Christiana Hun t who married Henry's son Thomas in 1807.)
* In September 1788 Henry Thickpenny was ordered to attend the next court to serve as Petitt Jury for Union County.
* In the first federal census of 1790, Henry Thickpenny, his wife and four young males and 3 young females resided in Union District, South Carolina.
* In 1795, the Union County Court ordered John Clark, John Stokes and Henry Thickpenny appointed commissioners to mark out a road from the court house to Fairforest, then to Tyger River to Mich Lees Ford, and from there to Enoree.
* In October 1795 Henry Thickpenny was one of 30 Petitt Court jurors chosen to serve in Union County.
* Henry Thickpenny proved the will of John Clark 2 January 1797. He was also listed as a witness to the will along with William Morgan and Ishmael Prince.
* On 28 July 1798 Henry Thickpenny was witness, along with John Burgis and David Pugh, to the will of James Addington of Union County.
* On 10 March 1802 Thomas Lamb, Sr. sold for $180 to Henry Thickpenny 100 acres, part of 400 acres granted to Lamb on a branch of the Tyger River called Ragen's Branch.
* On 7 January 1805 William Rice, Sheriff of Union District, sold to William Sims for $250 a tract of 250 acres on the southwest side of Tyger River adjoining Sims' own land, being the tract on which Henry Thickpenny formerly lived. This ie found to Henry Thickpenny. Henceforth his name is seen only as Henry Penney, Henry Penny, or Henry T. Penny.



It is interesting that in the 1800 federal census, when Henry still resided in Union County, South Carolina, and was still using the surname Thickpenny, he was listed as Henry Penney [sic]. The household was shown to contain 1 male under 10; 1 m ale 10 under 16; 2 males 16 under 26 and 1 male 45 years or older, plus 3 females under 10; 1 female 16 under 26 and one female 45 years or older. The young males and females could all be Henry's children since his wife would be of child-bearin g age, or they could be a combination of a male or female child of Henry's and that child's children.

About 1777 Henry married Hannah BROWN who was born in 1759 in South Carolina. Hannah was a member of the Quaker, or Friends, Church; Henry was not. In the late 1700s there were four principal centers of Quakerism in South Carolina,e sys: Bush River Monthly Meeting in Newberry County, established in 1772, and Cane Creek Monthly Meeting in Union County, established in 1789. Initially Friends were slave owners in South Carolina, but eventually they turne d against the institution and those members who refused to emancipate their slaves were disowned, as were members who married outside the Society of Friends or went to war. Out of a desire to live where slavery did not exist, more than 100 Frien ds families moved from the South Carolina counties of Newberry, Spartanburg and Union northward between 1802 and 1807. Many went directly to the Miami Valley in Ohio (Ohio had been admitted to the union in 1803 as a "free state") while another g roup, including Henry and some members of his family, settled first in Ohio County, Kentucky. Henry's presence in that county was first shown on the 1 July 1806 tax roll for personal property which lists Henry Penney [sic], one white male abov e age 21 with two horses. 1814 was the last year in which he was listed (by then he claimed five horses). In the intervening years, in addition to Henry there were listed the following Penny: 1807 John; 1808 John and Thomas; 1809 John and Thomas ; 1810 no tax book found; 1811 Thomas and James; 1812 Thomas and two Jameses; 1813 Thomas, and 1814 Thomas. In the 1810 federal census for Ohio County Henry Penny, James Penny and Thomas Penny were listed on the same page indicating they lived i n close proximity to each other.

By 1815 Henry and remaining members of his family had departed Ohio County, Kentucky for Union Township, Miami County, Ohio. Henry's was the seventh tract of land recorded (1817) in Section 10 of the original Land Patent for the townys60-acre tract on Ludlow Creek to his sons: John and Thomas on 10 March 1826 and to Elijah Penny (relationship not confirmed) on 23 March 1827. Also, on 23 March 1827, for the "consideration of the sum of one dollar," Henry tr ansferred one acre of land in the northwest section of this tract, one-half mile south of Laura, to William Miles and Samuel Thompson of Miami County and David Penny of Darke County for a meeting house and burial ground. (The father of this Davi d Penny has not yet been identified.)

Hannah, Henry's wife, died 3 August 1829 in Laura, Miami County, Ohio at age 70, and was buried in the cemetery created on the acre of land donated by her husband: Old Ludlow Cemetery in Laura. On 13 October 1831 in Darke County, O, an in 1781 in Virginia. She had one son, Edward, born circa 1804 in Virginia. Mary lived for a time in Warren County, Ohio then purchased land in Darke County in 1825. She was found there in Twin Township in the 1830 federal ce nsus. At that time Henry still resided in Union Township, Miami County.

Apparently after Henry and Mary married he moved to her residence in Twin Township, Darke County, for he was found there in the 1840 census and it was here he died 16 April 1841 age 87 years, 3 months and 5 days. Henry Penny was buriesrs by his gravesite acknowledging his service in the Revolutionary War. In his will Henry requested that after all debts were paid the balance of his property, both real and personal, go to his "dearly beloved wife."

434 Bartholomew's parents were originally from Wilmslow Parish, in Cheshire, Eng. Some second hand sources state they moved to Flinshire, Wales for a few years due to the English Civil War where Bartholomew was born instead. When he is baptized in W ilmslow Parish records, his father was listed as Bartholomew of Fulshaw, an area just south of Wilmslow.

It should be noted that there was another Bartholomew born about 1645 who married Elinor/Ellen Smith or Williamson instead who could be the son of Bart and Elizabeth Curbishley of Wilmslow and Nether Leigh.

Bartholomew was married in Wilmslow, England at the home of Richard Yarwood in 1678. He seems to have moved back temporarily to Wales as his first son is born there. His third child was born back in Cheshire, England. He emigrated on the ship "T he Freeman of Liverpool" that left port on June 7, 1682. The following goods are listed by his name and I wonder if this was his payment for passage: 1 hhd. qty. 60 lbs. woolen cloth; 40 ells English linen; 1/4 cwt. wrought iron; 7 lbs, haberdas hery. His fourth child was born in Pennsylvania. The ship was a fast one as it had docked in Delaware by Aug 6, 1682, George Southern, Master. (C-2228c)

Bartholomew was supposedly one of 3 different early Coppocks who immigrated to our country, one of these being a slightly younger Bartholomew (all possible relatives of each other.) In William Penn's original land grants to purchasers from Engla nd, Ireland and Scotland, a Bartholomew Coppock is listed twice. The first was dated Mar 20 &21st. The second was dated Apr 4 & 5, 1681, both prior to the emigration of Penn and his followers to Pennsylvania. On those dates, William Penn of Suss ex in England sold 250 acres (in Hightough, Chester Co.?) to one Bartholomew Coppeck and 500 acres to another Bartholomew prior to his emigration to the colonies from William Penn in "The Annals of Pennsylvania." (see the two Bartholomew's liste d below.) (C-1979, 2228e) According to descendants of the Bartholomew whom this biography is about, this Bartholomew was the one that purchased 500 acres from William Penn. The exact reference in Bryant's Abstracts of Chester Co. Land Records is : Deed. On 20 & 21 Mar 1681 William PENN of Sussex, England to Bartholemew COPPECK of Salsbury, yeoman. William PENN for ?110 grants to Bartholemew COPPECK a tract in province of Pennsylvania containing 500 acres. Signed
William PENN. Delivered in the presence of John MARTIN, William PARKER & Harbt SPRINGETT. Recorded 01 Jun 1688. (A1B34)
If this family tradition is true, then he is probably the Bartholomew who owned 800 acres on Crum Creek on a map of Chester Co. (now Delaware) PA, dated 1683. He was a farmer by trade. He seems to have been a witness to a will signed on board th e ship Friendship in 1684 (on a return trip?). His neighbors on Crum Creek, PA were also Wilmslow natives. (C-253a) He purchased 300 acres from John Nickerson of Lower Providence on Apr 12, 1687 which is where he resided until his death. John ha d originally obtained the land from William Penn. Bartholomew Coppeck was from Springfield (PA) at the time of his 1687 purchase. He is therefore also likely to be the Bartholmew Coppock whom in 1687 was appointed to the first Court of Equity fo r Springfield Twp., Delaware Co., PA along with 2 other prominent citizens, George Maris, and Samuel Levis.
In 1696, he is listed as a neighbor of James Stanfield who was selling 100 acres to Thomas Hope and 100 acres to Henry Haines. That land was in Marple bounded by land of Thomas Massey, Darby Creek, and Henry Haines as well as Bartholomew. Accord ing to "The History of Delaware Co., PA", he is the Bartholomew that lived on land on Darby Creek in Marple. (C-2136) If this is accurate, then he is the Bartholomew who also witnessed the following deed: "Deed. On 07 Nov 1709 Joshua FEARNE of D arby, yeoman, to Josiah FEARNE of Darby, yeoman. Joshua FEARNE for ?155 grants to Josiah FEARNE a tract bounded by Darby creek & land of John WOOD, containing 50 acres, being part of 500 acres originally granted to Thomas WORTH & Samuel BRADSHAW , who then granted 50 acres to Joshua FEARNE of Darby, dec'd, by deed dated 04 Oct 1687. Joshua FEARNE by his will dated 06 Apr 1693 bequeathed to his son & heir, Joshua FEARNE, the 50 acres. Signed Joshua FEARNE. Delivered in the presence of Is aac TAYLOR, Bartholemew COPPECK & John SIMCOCK. Recorded 10 Nov 1709. (B2357)" (Bryant, Abstracts of Chester Co. Land Records)

Our Bartholomew's will was dated July (5th mo.) 10, 1718 and probated March 9, 1718/9. It names his wife, Margaret, three grand-daughters through deceased son Jonathan, daughter-in-law Jane, Jane's brother John Owen of Philadelphia, his son Bart holemew and children Margeret, Rebecca, Sarah, Martha, and Moses. (C-429, 613, 2150) He was listed at near age 73 in the death date of 12/20/1718/1719.

His will is transcribed as follows: I Bartholomew Coppock of Marble in the county of Chester and Province of Pensylvania being in Reasonable good health of body and of sound and Perfect mind and memory Praise therefore be given to almighty God D o make and ordain this my last will and Testament in manor & form following First and Principally I Commend my Soul into the hands of almighty God that gave it and my body I committ to the earth to be decently buried at the discretion of my Exec utors hereafter named and as following the Disposition of all such temporal Estates as it hath pleased God to bestow upon me.

Some data from Aaron Hill mrmayor at hotmail.com

Martin TIDD, Sr. was involved in the Connecticut-Pennsylvania land controversy, participating in the Battle of Wyoming. In April 1770, He was implicated in the murder of Capt. Amos OGDEN, but testified with others that a John MURPHY (also spelle d MURPHEE) was the killer. Later in 1784, although not included in the original indictments, he was arrested and charged with conspriacy. In his deposition to the court, he successfully argued that since the matter of land ownership was still be ing debated and decided by the Pennsylvania authorities and the Continental Congress, he should not be detained nor hindered from his property. He served as a private with Robinson's Rangers during the American War for Independence. For more inf ormation see citations from The Susquehanna Company Papers.

Meaning of Names

Betty
English: pet form of Elizabeth, dating from the 18th century. Cognate: Scottish Gaelic: Beitidh. Elizabeth..The usual spelling of Elisabeth in English.
Elisabeth
The spelling of Elizabeth used in the Authorized Version of the New Testament, and in most modern European languages. This was the name of the mother of John the Baptist (Luke 1: 60). Etymologically, the name means ?USGod is my oath?UT, and is therefore identical with Elisheba, name of the wife of Aaron, according to the genealogy at Exodus 6: 23. The final element seems to have been altered by association with Hebrew shabbath sabbath.
A Dictionary of First Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0192800507
www.ancestry.com

Lou
English: short form of Louis or, less commonly, Louise.
A Dictionary of First Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0192800507

Louise
French and English: feminine form of Louis, introduced to England in the 17th century. Short form: English: Lou.
A Dictionary of First Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0192800507

Louis
French: an extremely common French name, of Germanic origin. It is composed of the elements hlud fame + wig warrior, and is thus etymologically the same name as German Ludwig. From the early Middle Ages onwards, it was very frequently used in French royal and noble families. An archaic Latinized form of the name is Clovis, and this is the form generally used for the Frankish leader (?466-511) who ended the Roman domination over Gaul: Clovis defeated rival Germanic tribes, married the Burgundian princess Clothilde, and founded the Frankish monarchy in what is now France. In 496 he and his followers were converted to Christianity. Louis I (778-840) was the son of Charlemagne, who ruled both as King of France and Holy Roman Emperor. Altogether, the name was borne by sixteen kings of France up to the French Revolution, in which Louis XVI perished. Louis XIV, ?USthe Sun King?UT (1638-1715), reigned for seventy-two years (1643-1715), presiding in the middle part of his reign over a period of unparalleled French power and prosperity. See also Ludwig.

In modern times, Louis is occasionally used in the English-speaking world (usually pronounced /lui/). In Britain the Anglicized form Lewis is rather more common, whereas in America the reverse is true. Both forms have been used as Anglicized versions of Gaelic Laoiseach and Lughaidh. Cognates: Scottish Gaelic: Luthais. Italian: Luigi, Lodovico. Spanish, Portuguese: Luis. Catalan: Lluis. Basque: Koldo. German: Ludwig.

Short form: English: Lou.
A Dictionary of First Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0192800507

Clark surname
English: occupational name for a scribe or secretary, originally a member of a minor religious order who undertook such duties. The word clerc denoted a member of a religious order, from Old English cler(e)c ?Utpriest?Uu, reinforced by Old French clerc. Both are from Late Latin clericus, from Greek klerikos, a derivative of kleros ?Utinheritance?Uu, ?Utlegacy?Uu, with reference to the priestly tribe of Levites (see Levy) ?Utwhose inheritance was the Lord?Uu. In medieval Christian Europe, clergy in minor orders were permitted to marry and so found families; thus the surname could become established. In the Middle Ages it was virtually only members of religious orders who learned to read and write, so that the term clerk came to denote any literate man.
Dictionary of American Family Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-508137-4

"a derivative of kleros ?Utinheritance?Uu, ?Utlegacy?Uu, with reference to the priestly tribe of Levites (see Levy)"
Levy
Jewish (Ashkenazic and Sephardic): from the Biblical personal name Levi, from a Hebrew word meaning ?Utjoining?Uu. This was borne by a son of Jacob and Leah (Genesis 29: 34). Bearers of this name are Levites, members of the tribe of Levi, who form a hereditary caste who assist the kohanim (see Cohen) in their priestly duties.
