=====Immigrant "late 18th or early 19th century"=====
 
James Gallagher was born in Ireland, County Donegal, in about 1780 or 1781. He came with his parents [[John Gallagher|John]] and Margaret Gallagher to Butler County, Pennsylvania around the turn of the century and lived with them in Muddy Creek township for some years. He subsequently settled on a farm in what became (in 1854) Franklin township, where he spent the rest of his life.

His first wife was Sarah "Sally" Forrester, and they had three children, the third being William H. Gallagher , born in 1822. The birth dates for children George and Margaret are not known, but if the three children were born a couple years apart, the wedding date could have been around 1816 - 1818. James would then be in his late thirties. Sally Forrester may have died at William’s birth in 1822.

 James remarried no later than 1829 when daughter [[Nancy Gallagher|Nancy]] was born. His second wife, [[Mary Albright]], would have been only 19 or 20 years old in 1829, while James was forty-eight. A birth date is unknown for their oldest son, John; in the 1850 census [[Nancy Gallagher|Nancy]] is 22, John is not listed in his parents household. If he is older than his sister [[Nancy Gallagher|Nancy]], born perhaps in 1827 or so, then [[Mary Albright]] would have been even younger at marriage. In any case, barely out of her teens if that old, she immediately became the step-mother of three children, the youngest of whom was seven in 1829.

|'''Manuscript of John T. Wilson''' researched 1975-1985, including personal knowledge and interviews of McDeavitt cousins and of his aunts Stella Wimer (McNeese), Lizzy Wimer (McDeavitt), Meda Wimer (McDeavitt), and Mary Gahagan. John T. Wilson lists the children of James Gallagher and Mary Albright as
* 1. John Gallagher (b. ca. 1823; res. Isle, Butler Co. PA)
* 2. Nancy Gallagher m. Lot Wilson (see their pages)
* 3. James A. Gallagher (b. ca. 1832-33; d. 16 June 1898 at res. of Baptiste De Martini, San Antone Creek, Calaveras Co., Calif. of hear attack.)
* 4. Mahala J. Gallagher (b. ca. 1833; m. unknown Burnside; res. 618 Lagonda Ave., Springfield, OH).
* 5. Amelia Gallagher (b. 1835, m. unknown McCullough, res. Prospect, Butler Co. PA).
* 6. Matilda E. Gallagher (b. ca. 1838, m. unknown Dunn, res. Greenville, Mercer Co. PA).
* 7. Jefferson C. Gallagher (wife's name unknown; left Butler Co. in fall of 1878; never heard from since 1879. His children:(1) Mary Emma Gallagher b. 1871, m. unknown Bump, res. Prospect, Butler Co. PA; (2) Hannah Jane Gallagher b. ca. 1874; res. Prospect.
* 8. Harrison Gallagher. "The only details on Harrison Gallagher is a letter sent to him from F. J. Solinsky, atty. at law, San Andreas, Calif., dated June 18, 1898, informing him of the death of his brother James A. Gallagher. When the estate of James A. Gallagher was settled, he (Harrison) was not listed among the heirs. It is my opinion that his man could have been John Gallagher." John T. Wilson

|'''Personal Correspondence''' from Elsie C. Segura, descendant of James Gallagher through daughter Amelia Cratin Gallagher McCullough.
* The name Cratin/Crayton persist down through the Gallagher line, down to her own middle name. Amelia Cratin Gallagher, daughter of James Gallagher, had a daughter Jane Ann Gallagher McCullough. Jane Ann married Joseph Pierce Hockenberry, and named a daughter Amelia Cratin Hockenberry - Elsie's grandmother. Elsie Segura suggests ''Creighton or Cratin could possibly be the maiden name of James Gallagher's mother or grandmother. It is a common name found in Down County, Ireland.
* See Conjecture section below re. a Crayton family of Butler Co. PA.
|}

===Source notes===
* In the 1830 census, children's ages are problematic. One male <5 yrs., is possibly son John, born ~1823, age ~7. One male age 15-20 should be one of the sons of the first marriage: George or William H. Both would have been born before ~1822 when the first child of the 2nd marriage was born, so ages older than ~8 years. One of these two sons is not enumerated here, so possibly died young. Two females under age 5 : Daughter Nancy (b. 1829) was ~age 1 yr. Daughter Sarah's birth year is unknown. Her birth order per the 1895 History of Butler County puts Sarah between John and Nancy, so on that basis her age would be between 7 yrs and 1 yr. Daughter Margaret of the 1st marriage would be older than ~ 8 years; she appears not to have been enumerated. She is listed as having a spouse, so did not die young. Emanuel Lutheran cemetery, at Prospect, did not indicate infant or children's stones. Children of 1st wife Sarah Forrester Gallagher would likely have been buried with her; her grave has not been located.
* In the 1840 census, the age of James Gallagher at 50-60 yrs. would agree with a birth year of 1780, as calculated from the 1850 and 1860 census. It disagrees with the birth year calculated from his gravestone (1781) by one year. The age of wife Mary Albright agrees with what we know, as well as the ages of the first 8 of his children with Mary Albright, given that we don't know the birth year of daughter Sarah A. Gallagher. The 3 children with his first wife Sally Forester would be in their late teens or their twenties by 1840, and their not living at home is reasonable.
* 1820 census for Muddycreek lists both James and John Gallagher and 1810 census for Muddy Creek lists two J. Gallahers with ages consistent with these individuals. The 1800 census lists a John Gallagher in Buffalo Twp. These census records do not add any other information beyond what we get from the 1830 census.

=Conjecture=
*When John T. Wilson researched the Gallagher family in the 1980's he listed 11 children of James Gallagher, 8 by his 2nd wife, Mary Albright. These eleven included the nine who are listed on p. 1262 of the 1895 History of Butler County, plus two more: Jefferson C. Gallagher, and Harrison Gallagher. (A twelfth child, Washington, appears on the 1850 census, but not the 1860, so may have died young.) Jefferson C. Gallagher possibly appears in the 1860 census as Courry T. (J.?), age 8. Harrison Gallagher however, has not been found in the census as a child of James Gallagher. John T. Wilson obtained copies of the legal papers regarding the death in California of James & Mary's son James A. Gallagher. Among these is an attorney's letter addressed to Harrison Gallagher regarding the death of his "brother" James A. Gallagher. There is a gravestone for a W. Harrison Gallagher at United Church of Prospect cemetery. Perhaps W. Harrison Gallagher is the same person as William H. Gallagher, a half-brother of James A. and the rest, by James Gallagher and his first wife, Sally Forrester. Or, it is possible that W. Harrison is the same person as Henry H. Gallagher,( as possibly named for William Henry Harrison, elected U.S. President in 1841). The gravestone for W. Harrison Gallagher indicates he was born in 1848. W. Harrison Gallagher's wife was Eleanor per their gravestone; Henry's wife was Louise per the 1895 History of Butler Co. This would argue against their being the same person.
* Per the Butler County Cemetery Inventory Vol. 2, at Mt. Zion Baptist Cemetery in Franklin Twp., two graves for children of J. & M Gallagher are transcribed. "Gallagher, Hyeram G., died 07-27-1849, aged 1 yr, 2 mos, 19 days, son of J. & M. Gallagher" and "Ida Gallagher died 03-01-1875 aged 12 yrs, 11 mos and 1 day, dau of J. & M. Gallagher." The span of years between them brings the transcription accuracy into doubt. It isn't known whether they were children of James and Mary Gallagher; no one else from their family is known to be buried at Mt. Zion.
* A ''Crayton'' family, relationship presently unknown, migrated from Harford, Maryland (a township immediately NE of Baltimore) to Cambria Co. PA, then to Franklin Twp., Butler Co. PA. In Cambria Co. PA, one ''Joseph Crayton'' was born 18 April 1827, baptized 3 June 1827 at St. Michael's Loretto; sponsors were a ''Frances & Mary Gallagher''. The Craton family is currently being researched for possible connection to the Gallagher family. See above source, Elsie Cratin Segura.

* 1850 Census Prospect Borough (Franklin Twp), Butler Co. PA 7 Aug 1850, Pg. 1 (ancestry.com), line 24: ''John Gallaher'', age 21, cabinet maker, born VA. Living with Henry (Mirvse?) age 60, cabinet maker, born Germany, & wife Mary (b. PA); also with Samuel White age 20 & Mary White age 18, both born PA. Note: This could be the son of James Gallagher. There's a slight age difference, & the VA (West Virginia?) birthplace is problematic.

===Source notes===
* The 1850 census shows a Susan Alexander living next to Washington Plummer. The wife of Washington Plummer is listed as Amanda. The family of Washington H. Alexander (age 27) and wife Sarah is the entry before the Plummers. It is likely that this Susan Alexander (age 92) is the mother or grandmother of the Susan Alexander (age 49) married to Washington Plummer and that Washington Alexander is a brother or nephew of Susan Alexander (age 49).
* The 1830 census shows a Susannah Alexander living next to James W. Plummer. Her age is 50-60. The 1840 census for Mecklenburg County is alphabetized, so neighbor relationships are obscured, but there is a Susannah Alexander, age 70-79 in the listing.

Nancy Gallagher’s grandfather, [[John Gallagher]], and father, [[James Gallagher]], were both born in Ireland. They arrived in Butler County, Pennsylvania in about 1797, settling in Muddy Creek Township. Nancy was born there on 13 February, 1829 to [[James Gallagher|James]] and his second wife, [[Mary Albright]]. Nancy was their second child. Counting three children from the first marriage, there were a total of fifteen children in the household. The Revolution was fifty years in the past, and the War of 1812 had been over for about three years when Nancy was born. She no doubt grew up helping with the housework and caring for younger children.
Nancy Gallagher married [[Lot Wilson]] in 1854. Nancy was twenty-five when they married; [[Lot Wilson|Lot]] was twenty-three. Their first son, Dunwoodie was born that same year. Nancy and [[Lot Wilson]] lived for a time in Muddy Creek Township, possibly near Nancy’s Gallagher [[John Gallagher|grandparents]]. Two of their children are reported born in that township, including [[James L. Wilson]] in 1857. Later the family moved to Brady Township, and attended the Lutheran church in Prospect.

=Source Notes=
* John T. Wilson gives the death date of his grandfather James L. Wilson as 25 May 1929. This date falls on a Saturday. The June 6 obituary does not give the date of death or burial, but says that he was last seen "on Saturday" by his wife. The obituary says that his body was found on Wednesday, and doctors estimated he had been dead for 4 days, and that he was buried on Thursday. We assume from this that he died on Sat. May 25, was found on Wed. May 29 and buried on Thurs. May 30, and that the obituary of June 6 appeared the following Thursday.
* James L. Wilson appears in two different places in the 1880 census; once with his parents (Source 3a) and once with his wife (Source 3). We have included both here.

[[Jacob Beals]]

The Biehl surname is of German origin. The family intermarried with other German families who migrated to western PA at about the same time from the Lehigh Co.-Berks Co. border area of Pennsylvania. (See [[Michael Brey|Brey]], [[John Klein|Klein]]). In various records for descendants of this family, the Anglicized name is found spelled Beal, Beals, and Beels.

Jacob Beals is the progenitor of our line, and although he lived in Pennsylvania, his place of birth is unknown. What is known of Jacob Beals comes from two christening records, for a son (our direct ancestor), and a daughter, both born in Lehigh County Pennsylvania.

===Source notes===
* Paul W. Myers lists a Margaret among the children of Isaac Wimer & Margaret Robinson Wimer. John T. Wilson, their grandson, in 1980 said that he had not had an aunt named Margaret, and he believed it to be an erroneous listing. The 1910 census reports that Margaret Wimer gave birth to 8 children, 7 of whom were living in 1910, so the child that died must have been the Margaret that Paul Myers reports. Per Ruth McNees Brown, daughter of Stella Wimer, "Margaret wasn't a child but a young adult", at the time of her death. We have spouse names for all the other children except Bertha, who is still living by the 1920 census; therefore nine children survived childhood.

* The 1940 census lists Isaac and Margaret Wimer as living with their grandson [[James Perry Wimer]]; the census indication that Perry is their son is erroneous. He was the son of [[Estella Jane Wimer]].

===Source notes===
* Paul W. Myers lists a Margaret among the children of Isaac Wimer & Margaret Robinson Wimer. John T. Wilson, their grandson, in 1980 said that he had not had an aunt Margaret, and believed it to be an erroneous listing. The 1910 census reports that Margaret Wimer gave birth to 8 children, 7 of whom were living in 1910, so the child that died must have been the Margaret that Paul Myers reports. Per Ruth McNees Brown, daughter of Stella Wimer, "she wasn't a child but a young adult". We have spouse names for all the other children except Bertha, and she is still living by the 1920 census; therefore nine children survived.

* In the 1940 census, Isaac and Margaret are living with their grandson [[James Perry Wimer]], son of [[Estella Jane Wimer]]; the census indication that it is their son is an error.

Clara Mabel Wimer was born on 26 October 1891, the fifth of nine children of [[Isaac C. Wimer|Ike]] and [[Margaret Jane Robinson|Maggie Robinson Wimer]]. The Wimers were of German heritage, and the Robinsons were Scots Irish . Clara's parents were farmers, living in Slippery Rock Township between the village of West Liberty and Jacksville, in Worth township, Butler County, Pennsylvania. The farm lies along the creek that today is dammed to form Tammarak Lake, and was approached by a long lane off of Barron Road. [[Isaac C. Wimer|Ike]] and [[Margaret Jane Robinson|Maggie Wimer]] had nine children, seven daughters and two sons. Clara was the fifth child. She was of medium height, slight of build, and she had a pleasant disposition.

In 1911 at age 20 she married [[Bert Winiford Wilson|Bert W. Wilson]], who grew up on the neighboring farm. She and [[Bert Winiford Wilson|Bert]] lived for a time with [[Bert Winiford Wilson|Bert's]] parents, or possibly on a rented farm next to that of [[James L. Wilson|Bert’s parents]]. Here their first five, possibly six children were born between 1912 and 1926. Then they purchased the farm across the road, and continued raising their family there, having two daughters and four sons. The house stood in a shady wooded area, and the farm included some wetlands around the creek. They had horses and a cow, and the children kept a sheep and a pony in the small barn. They walked up the hill across the McClymmonds farm to attend McClymmonds school.

Jacob Beals

Liz: Add parents names to vitals chart christening of Jacob Beals 1806; remove erroneous wording "Ziegels Cjurch, Weisenberg..." form Ref. 18; is from Ref. 19.

__NOTOC__
{{census complete}}
{{page complete}}
[[Jacob Beals]]

The name Beals is English, but many immigrant families Anglicized their names. This particular Beals surname is seen as Biehl originally, of German origin. The family intermarried with other German families who migrated to western PA at about the same time from the Lehigh Co.-Berks Co. border area of Pennsylvania. (See [[Michael Brey|Brey]], [[John Klein|Klein]]). In various records for this family the name is found spelled Beal, Beals, Beels, and Biehl.

Jacob Beals was christened in Wiesenberg township, Lehigh County Pennsylvania in 1806. A biography of his son Hiram (''Commemorative Biographical Record of Central Pennsylvania'', 1898 by Beers, p. 1408) says that Jacob was "a native of Berks County, of German descent." The same source says that his wife, Elizabeth Bry, was born in Lehigh County. If the Beers reference is correct, we might expect that either the parents, or the son Jacob, moved to Berks County sometime after the christening in 1806. Or perhaps the mother, Margaret unknown Biehl, was from Lehigh County and the christening was in her home church.

Hiram Beals, an honored veteran of the Civil war and a leading citizen of Richland township, Clarion county, was born July 31, 1840, in Venango county, Penn., and is a son of Jacob Beals, a native of Berks county, of German descent. The mother, who bore the maiden name of Elizabeth Bry, was born in Lehigh county, and was a daughter of Michael Bry. In 1839 the parents took up their residence in Venango county, where the father died at the age of eighty-three years, but the mother is still living at the advanced age of ninety. He was a famer by occupation, a Democrat in politics and a Lutheran in religious belief. The mother is also a consistent member of the Church. Their family numbered eight children, namely: Flora Anna; Samuel; Benjamin; Jacob;, who was a Union soldier during the Rebellion; William; Hiram; Levi; and James. (See complete article).

Knox, no occupation listed; Jacob Beals with 20 acres, P.O. Agnew's Mills, retired farmer; Levi Beals, no acreage listed, P.O. Agnew's Mills, carpenter. Salem Twp map, p. 54, shows farm of N. Biery. Salem Twp Directory, p. 165, lists N. Biery with 9 acres, P.O. Agnew's Mills, laborer. The comparison of these two maps with the 1865 Pomeroy map makes clear that the Jacob Beals family did not move to a location in Richland Twp.; rather the township line was redrawn just north of their homestead. The Biery farm on p. 54 (Salem Twp, 1877) appears to read as Wm Biery; however the directory does not list a Wm Biery, and does list Nathan Biery. The farm is in the location of the Nathan Biery farm (N. Biery on the 1865 Pomeroy map). Nathan Biery had no children; if Wm Biery, identity unknown.

===Source Notes===
*All pages of the 1830 census for Berks Co. PA read; no Beals or spelling variant found.
*Note that in the 1850 census, Jacob Beals' family lives next door to the Michael Brae (Brey) family, in Beaver Twp., Clarion Co.
*''Commemorative Biographical Record of Central Pennsylvania'' (Source #8) states that the family settled in Venango County PA in 1839. Clarion County was formed in 1840, and the Beals homestead, formerly in Venango, apparently became part of Clarion County. The homestead in Beaver Twp. became part of newly formed Salem Twp. in 1856. The 1865 map(Pomeroy) shows the cluster of Beals/Biery farms in Salem Twp. just north of the township line. By the 1870 census, Jacob & Elizabeth and the 2 youngest sons are in Richland Twp. The homestead location is shown in the 1877 Caldwell Atlas in Richland Twp., just south of the Salem Twp. line. The Biery farm remained in Salem Twp.

*Regarding the lack of an 1860 census record: I have manually reviewed all census entries for Richland, Beaver, Salem, Elk, and Licking Townships, Clarion County, PA, along with Richland Township, Venango County, PA. No sign of the Jacob Beals family was found. The census for Richland Twp. Clarion Co. contains only one Beals residence, that of Jacob's son [[William Beals]] and his wife Susana. In Beaver Twp., we find another son, [[Jacob Beals, Jr.]] and his wife Clara. In Salem Twp., we find son, [[Samuel Beals|Samuel Beal]] and family, as well as Daniel Beals and his wife Elizabeth. No Beals (or variants) in Elk or Licking Twps.; Richland Twp, Venango Co., has a David Beels & wife Margaret (son of [[Daniel Beels]]), as well as an Elizabeth Beels (daughter of [[Daniel Beels]],age 31, working as a "domestic" in the home of a Mr. Coutter. The fact Jacob Beals's sons all still reside in the area; that Jacob's wife is not listed in the census as a widow; and that other of their children (especially son [[James Francis Beals]]) are also not found in 1860, we surmise that the Jacob Beals home was simply left out of the census for one reason or another.

=Conjecture=
* In trying to find the parents of ''Jacob Beals'': Index to Berks Co. PA Tax List 1770-1789 ("Faust"). This extraction was sent to us Dec 1991 by Thomas H. Beil, Reading PA. Richmond Twp. lies just west of Maxatawny Twp. in Berks Co. Maxatawny Twp. borders on Lehigh Co., and lies just west of Weisenbert and Upper Macungie Twps. in Lehigh Co. Note that our ''Jacob Beals'' father-in-law, [[Michael Brey]], owned land in Lower Macungie Twp., Lehigh Co. While we don't know the ages of these men, the names below are all married during the years sufficiently before 1806 (''Jacob Beals''' birth date) to be possible candidates for being his father. In the table below the names are separated by spelling variants, township variant, or marital status. However, it would incur no conflict of dates/location if there were only:
**one Abraham Bill /Biel (a change of Twp after marrying); 1778-1789
**one Jacob Bihl/Biel/Biehl individual in Maxatawny; 1775-1788
**one Peter Biel/Biehl individual in Maxatawny; 1774-1789
** one Peter Beal/Biel/Beil/Bill/Beall/Biehl/Behle/Beihl individual in Richmond Twp. 1770-1789

* Will Abstract for Abraham Biehl of Kutztown, Berks Co. PA, 22 Sept 1815-11 Apr 1818; all personal estate to wife Susanna; Exr: son-in-law John Kutz. Wit: John Dinius and John Paltzgrove. (Paltzgrove is possibly a form of Pfalzgraff, also seen as Fillgrove in Venango/Clarion Co. area where Jacob Beals settled). See will abstracts at http://berks.pa-roots.com/wills/Abstracts1816-1820.html
*In trying to determine if the family of ''Jacob Beals'' and [[Daniel Beels]] are related: It may be significant that a ''Daniel Biehl died in Lehigh County'' & is buried in the Fogelsville Union Cemetery. He was born in 1808, so is of the same generation as our ''Jacob Beals'' (b.1806). One could imagine this Daniel as possibly having an immigrant father (possibly also named Daniel). This older, conjectural Daniel would have been of the generation as the immigrant [[David Beels]], father of [[Daniel Beels]], and thus could have been his brother or cousin. If this older Daniel immigrated first and settled in the Lehigh area, [[David Beels]] (relationship conjectured) could have been trying to follow him to Lehigh County. Daniel immigrated through the port of Baltimore, (rather than Philadelphia which would make more sense if he were trying to reach Lehigh County), but we're told he was a stow-away, and may have taken what opportunity made itself available as to port of entry. David's son, [[Daniel Beels]], could conceivably have been named for this conjectural relative. We have no evidence that [[David Beels]] ever resided in Lehigh County. He could have visited there; however our information is that he proceeded on westward, to Center County, then to the Venango/Clarion counties border area. This leads to another possibility, that Daniel Biehl of Lehigh County (d. 1868) could have been the brother of our ''Jacob Beals'', who is said to have been born in Berks Co., but presumably married in Lehigh County about 1828-29, resided there until between 1833 and 1836, and then migrated to Clarion Co. by at least 1839. If this were the case, (that an older Daniel Biehl were the father of ''Jacob Beals'' and the brother of [[David Beels]]), then ''Jacob Beals'' (b. 1806) and [[Daniel Beels]] (b. 1792) would be cousins, and their sons who owned neighboring farms ([[James Francis Beals]] and [[David Beels (1827)]] (b. 1827) would have been 2nd cousins. ''By time period and coincidence of locations this is all possible, but at this point, all is HIGHLY conjectural''.
 See ''Tombstone Inscriptions, Fogelsville Union Cemetery, Lehigh Co., PA'' compiled by St. John's Church, at Lehigh County Historical Soc. Library, Allentown.

If this family is related to our Jacob Beals, then his father, head of this household, would also be named Jacob, age 40-50 in 1830. Our Jacob, if born in 1806, should be 24, but would have to be the male in the age 15-20 category of this census. Other males: 1 age under 5, 1 age 10-15. Females: 1 age 5-10, 1 age 10-15, 1 age 15-20, 1 age 40-50. Given the spelling variant, and the age wobble for the son, it is less likely that this is our family. Jacob Beals did however have children born in Lehigh County.

In 1884 her married Mary Lippel. In 1890 they moved to Tyrone, Blair Co. PA where he partnered with Louis Roehl in operating the Bavarian Brewing Company. Member St. Mathews Catholic Church of Tyrone,Blair Co. PA. His parents were Michael Biehl (~1822-1811) & Barbara Singer, lifelong of Rheinprensen. Note: This Jacob Biehl is born too late to be our Jacob Beals, but it is interesting that he apparently new the brewing arts. Our Jacob Beals father-in-law may also have been of a family of brewers, as his name Brey (various spellings) translates "brewer". Our Beals & Brey families were Lutherans, but Michael Brey's wife's affiliation is not known nor her gravesite located; perhaps she was Catholic.

'''JACOB BEALS - A CHRONOLOGY'''

JACOB BEALS' EARLY LIFE IN EASTERN PA
[[Jacob Beals]] was born in Pennsylvania in 1806, reportedly "a native of Berks County, of German descent". The same source says that his wife, [[Elizabeth Brey|Elizabeth Bry]], was born in Lehigh County, and various deeds show her family owned land in Upper Milford and Lower Macungie Townships there.
[[Elizabeth Brey]] and Jacob Beals were married in about 1828, probably in Lehigh County. Their first three children, Flora Ann (b.1829), Samuel (b.1831), and Benjamin (b.1833), all reported being born in Lehigh County. Records of Jordan Lutheran or Evangelical Lutheran church of Whitehall township, Lehigh County record daughter Floriana's birth & christening in 1829. Emmaus Moravian Church, Lehigh Co. PA baptismal records list the baptisms of Samuel (1831) and William (1839).

The birth of the children of [[Jacob Beals]] in Lehigh County in the 1830's is important to note. One researcher has erroneously proposed that Jacob was a son of the German immigrant [[David Beels]], and arrived as a child in Clarion County in 1806. See [[David Beels]] research notes.

The birthplace for Jacob (b.1836) is not yet documented, but expected to also be Lehigh Co. PA, possibly Emmaus. [[Hiram Beals]] was born in 1840, in Venango County, and by 1841 the family had settled in Clarion County.

BEALS FARM LOCATIONS Clarion County had just been formed in 1839, the northern part of the county being taken from the pre-existing Venango County. [[Jacob Beals]]' family settled that year in the border area of these two counties. In 1841, a year after Hiram was born in Venango County, the family settled on a 540 acre homestead in Beaver township, Clarion County. In later years the township lines changed and the [[Jacob Beals]] farm lay on the border of Richland and Salem townships. The 1870 & 1880 census show them living in Richland township. Pomeroy's 1865 map of Clarion County places the farm just across the border in Salem township, but the 1877 Caldwell's Atlas places it correctly in Richland township. The farm of daughter [[Flora Ann Beals]] (and husband Nathan Biery),was across the road from the Jacob Beals farm; Benjamin's land lay a bit east of the Biery's, on the same road. [[William Beals]]' farm was just north on the road to Mariasville. These three farms (Flora, Ben, William) were in Salem Township. [[Samuel Beals|Samuel]] and [[Jacob Beals, Jr.]] had farms in Beaver township, southwest of Knox and near the location of Emanuel Lutheran cemetery. [[Jacob Beals, Jr.|Jacob's]] land lay nearer to Knox, and [[Samuel Beals|Samuel's]] farther southwest near the border of Salem township. [[James Francis Beals|James F. Beals]] bought a farm in Richland Twp., Venango County. (It lay immediately adjacent to and west of the homestead of the immigrant [[David Beels]] in Salem Township, Clarion County.) [[Levi F. Beals|Levi]] inherited his father's farm in Richland township. [[Hiram Beals|Hiram Beals']] land has not been located on the old maps. He lived in Richland township, apparently farther south than his father. The 1880 census actually places him in St. Petersburg. His family are buried at St. Petersburg.

LIFE IN CLARION COUNTY
[[Jacob Beals|Jacob]] and [[Elizabeth Brey|Elizabeth Brey Beals]] settled in 1841 in what was then Beaver township. Levi was born in August of 1845, and [[James Francis Beals|James F.]] in 1846. Over time, the sons of [[Jacob Beals|Jacob]] purchased their farms nearby.

In the 1850 census, the family resided in Beaver township. [[Jacob Beals|Jacob]] and [[Elizabeth Brey|Elizabeth]] were in their early forties, and the youngest of their eight children would be about five years old. The oldest child and only daughter, [[Flora Ann Beals|Flora]], was 21 and still at home. The older boys [[Samuel Beals|Sam]], [[Benjamin Beals|Ben]], [[Jacob Beals, Jr.|Jacob]], [[William Beals|William]] and [[Hiram Beals|Hiram]], ages 10 – 19 years, were attending school and the older three were farming as well. It is noted that the mother, and possibly the father, could not read or write. Next to the Beals live [[Michael Brey|Michael]] and Maria Brae/Brey, [[Elizabeth Brey|Elizabeth Beals']] parents. They are 76 and 78 years old, and with them lives Elizabeth's 56 year old but mentally deficient sister Hatty. Their presence here reinforces the expectation that these two families may have migrated from Lehigh County together.

Two residences away lives the family of John Marsh, including daughter Catharine C., age 20.
In 1852, two days before Christmas, [[Samuel Beals]], who was then 22, married Catharine Charlotte Marsh. Over the years between 1853 and 1870 they would have seven children. At some point [[Samuel Beals|Samuel]] donated 2 acres of land to the Emanuel Lutheran Church to be used for a cemetery. [[Samuel Beals|Samuel]] was apparently a neighbor of Henry Best who had donated the land upon which the church was built. (Note: Samuel's first wife Catherine Marsh was buried at Emanuel Lutheran when she died in 1880. The church moved to Knox in 1917. Samuel and his second wife were buried in the Knox cemetery, Samuel in 1907, Lizzy in 1911. After 1917, the Emanuel Lutheran cemetery was abandoned and became overgrown.)

[[Jacob Beals, Jr.|Jacob, Jr.]] married Clara Miller. They may have had one son who died in 1860 at 5 days old, and a daughter Mary A. Beals who died at 4 years old in 1865.

THE CIVIL WAR

When the Civil War began in 1861, [[Jacob Beals|Jacob]] and [[Elizabeth Brey|Elizabeth]] had been married for thirty-three years. Their older children were getting married and starting families. [[Flora Ann Beals|Flora]], age 32, was married to Nathan Biery. [[Samuel Beals|Sam]] was 31, married and with children. [[Benjamin Beals|Benjamin]] had married Sarah Shirey.
All of the seven Beals sons were of an age to be eligible for military service. As the northern side in the conflict had a far greater pool of men to draw from, a lower percentage were called to serve. In the Beals family, the three brothers who fought in the Civil War were the older two of those still single, and Jacob, Jr.

On the 28th of August, 1862, son [[Jacob Beals, Jr.|Jacob]] was enrolled as a private and served three years, for the duration of the war. On the same day, [[Hiram Beals|Hiram]] enlisted in Company G, 155th P.V.I., also to serve for three years. [[William Beals]] also served briefly. He was drafted on March 15, 1865, three months before the war would end and the boys would begin coming home. On June 2, 1865 [[Jacob Beals, Jr.|Jacob]] mustered out of war service with his company. [[William Beals|William]] was mustered out on July first.

While all three sons survived the war and returned home, the family was not without sorrow in those years. On March 22, 1861, [[Benjamin Beals|Benjamin's]] wife, Sarah, died and was buried at St. Petersburg Lutheran cemetery, in the Shirey plot. In 1862 [[Benjamin Beals|Benjamin]] married again, to Elizabeth Shirey, a sister of his first wife. In 1863 this wife died also, and was buried with her sister at St. Petersburg. Three years later, in 1865, [[Benjamin Beals|Benjamin]] married for a third time, to Mary M. Himes, and two children from this marriage survived to adulthood: Edwin J. Beals and Mary E. Beals.

THE LATER YEARS

In 1865 [[Benjamin Beals|Ben]] was 32, [[Jacob Beals, Jr.|Jake]] 29, [[William Beals|Billy]] 26, [[Hiram Beals|Hiram]] 25, [[Levi F. Beals|Levi]] 20, and [[James Francis Beals|James F.]] eighteen. With the war over, the younger sons resumed their lives. They married, raised children, and bought farms. They augmented their incomes by practiced other trades on the side, like butchering, carpentry, oil drilling, and huckstering (the sale of farm produce in town or door to door). [[Jacob Beals, Jr.|Jake]] and Clara took in a foster daughter, [[Olive Samantha Bower|Olive Bower]]. ([[David Bower|Olive's father]] died in 1864 when she was two years old; she would grow up to marry [[Jacob Beals, Jr.|Jake's]] youngest brother, [[James Francis Beals|James F. Beals]]).

In 1866 [[Hiram Beals]] married Sarah Eddinger, who, like the Beals family, came from Lehigh County. Sarah had a brother Andrew who was a member of the 155th P.V.I. during the war. [[William Beals]] married Susan Kline.

By 1870 [[Jacob Beals|Jacob]] and [[Elizabeth Brey|Elizabeth]], in their early sixties, had two children remained at home, [[Levi F. Beals|Levi]], aged twenty-three, and [[James Francis Beals|James F.]] aged twenty-two. [[Levi F. Beals|Levi]] worked at carpentry and [[James Francis Beals|James F.]] hired out as a farm laborer. The township lines had been revised, and their farm lay in Richland Twp., Clarion County.

In February of 1872 [[Levi F. Beals|Levi]] married Sarah Kribbs. At about the same time, [[James Francis Beals|James F.]] married [[Adeline Kribbs]]. [[James Francis Beals|James F.]] and [[Adeline Kribbs|Adeline]] had two children, a daughter Bernice, and a son Charles born in about 1874.

By January of 1877, son [[Jacob Beals, Jr.|Jacob, Jr.]] must have been ill and realized he hadn't long to live. He wrote out his will, providing for his wife and leaving a large bequest to his foster daughter [[Olive Samantha Bower|Olive Bower]], in the form of an annual stipend until she reached the age of twenty-one, at which time she would receive the remainder. Three months later, on Mar.9, he died. He was buried at Emanuel Lutheran Cemetery, and as stipulated in his will, a large marble gravestone was erected. Jacob's stone is in the second row and a bit to the left of the small front row stone that reads "infant son of J & C Beals died May (21) 1860 Aged 5 days". (In those days, burials were made sequentially rather than in family plots.)

On June 3 1880 Catharine Marsh, wife of [[Samuel Beals]], died and was buried at Emanuel Lutheran cemetery. A son of Sam and Catherine who presumably died as a child, Isaac Beals, is buried there also.

By 1880 [[Jacob Beals]], age 75, and wife[[Elizabeth Brey|Elizabeth]], 72, were living in Richland Township with the help of a young 14 year old servant girl. They apparently lived adjacent to son, [[Levi F. Beals]], 34, and his family, including 4 children. Family tradition has it that after marrying, [[Levi F. Beals|Levi]] and Sara A. "Sade" Kribbs moved in with Levi's parents. Sade then asked that the Beals house be remodeled to face south rather than west, with a small addition built for parents [[Jacob Beals|Jacob]] and [[Elizabeth Brey|Elizabeth]].

On Jan. 18, 1881 [[Samuel Beals]], now 50 years old, remarried, this time to Lizzie Leavy. They had 3 children in the years 1881-1884.

[[Adeline Kribbs|Ada Kribbs Beals]], wife of [[James Francis Beals|James F. Beals]] died, and by 1882 he remarried. He chose for his second wife the foster daughter of his brother [[Jacob Beals, Jr.|Jacob]], [[Olive Samantha Bower|Olive Bower]]. In 1883 she attained the age of twenty-one and received her inheritance. It is apparent from the will of [[James Francis Beals|James F. Beals]] that she gave him this money with which to purchase a farm. [[Olive Samantha Bower|Olive]] and [[James Francis Beals|James F.]] soon had two daughters, [[Arminta Beals|Arminta]] (Mint) born in March 1883, and Florence born in July of 1884. Five years later a son, [[James Elgie Beals]], was born.on 24 April, 1889.

Care of the aging parents was proving beyond the skills or temperament of Sade Kribbs, wife of [[Levi F. Beals]]. [[Jacob Beals|Jacob]] and [[Elizabeth Brey|Elizabeth]] were transferred to the care of their daughter [[Flora Ann Beals|Ann]]. [[Flora Ann Beals|Ann]] and Nathan Biery bought a house in Buttertown, near the farm of [[Levi F. Beals]], so that they could take in Ann's parents to live with them. (The Biery house in Buttertown eventually belonged to Fred Beals, son of Levi.)

[[Jacob Beals]] did not long survive the move. With grandson [[James Elgie Beals|Elgie]] just 18 months old, [[Jacob Beals]] died, in October of 1890. He was 83 years old. Instead of being buried at the Emanuel Lutheran cemetery with his son [[Jacob Beals, Jr.|Jacob, Jr.]] and others of the family, [[Jacob Beals|Jacob]] was laid to rest at Salem Lutheran cemetery. [[Elizabeth Brey|Elizabeth]] lived on for another nine years, attaining the age of 90 years. She died in January of 1899, and was buried beside [[Jacob Beals|Jacob]] at Salem Lutheran cemetery.

Note - The abandoned Emanuel Lutheran cemetery in 1991 was quite overgrown. Stones were broken and fallen, and graves sunken. By 2006 the cemetery had been cleared of overgrowth. White wooden crosses marked gravesties that lacked stone markers. A small marker noted the original Emanuel Lutheran Church location. One obituary published in the "Seneca Kicker" newspaper for [[Samuel Beals]], son of [[Jacob Beals|Jacob]], mistakenly says that [[Samuel Beals|Samuel]] was buried at the Beaver Cemetery, "which lies on the Beals homestead". [[Samuel Beals|Samuel]] was actually buried in the Knox cemetery. As to the "Beaver cemetery" (Emanuel Lutheran) being part of the Beals homestead, this too is apparently erroneous, but it does lie adjacent to a ''Beels'' farm, (according to Charles Walls of Emlenton PA). See the [[David Beels]] page for the Beels family research.

This biography was compiled by Elizabeth Wilson Williams from family knowledge and tradition, and from the data sources found on the pages for Jacob Beals and Elizabeth Brey, and their children.

__NOTOC__

[[Jacob Beals]]

The name Beals is English, but many immigrant families Anglicized their names. This particular Beals surname is seen as Biehl originally, of German origin. The family intermarried with other German families who migrated to western PA at about the same time from the Lehigh Co.-Berks Co. border area of Pennsylvania. (See [[Michael Brey|Brey]], [[John Klein|Klein]]). In various records for this family the name is found spelled Beal, Beals, Beels, and Biehl.

Jacob Beals was christened in Wiesenberg township, Lehigh County Pennsylvania in 1806. A biography of his son Hiram (''Commemorative Biographical Record of Central Pennsylvania'', 1898 by Beers, p. 1408) says that Jacob was "a native of Berks County, of German descent." The same source says that his wife, Elizabeth Bry, was born in Lehigh County. If the Beers reference is correct, we might expect that either the parents, or the son Jacob, moved to Berks County sometime after the christening in 1806. Or perhaps the mother, Margaret unknown Biehl, was from Lehigh County and the christening was in her home church.

In 1839 the parents took up their residence in Venango county, where the father died at the age of eighty-three years, but the mother is still living at the advanced age of ninety. He was a famer by occupation, a Democrat in politics and a Lutheran in religious belief. The mother is also a consistent member of the Church. Their family numbered eight children, namely: Flora Anna; Samuel; Benjamin; Jacob;, who was a Union soldier during the Rebellion; William; Hiram; Levi; and James. (See complete article).

The comparison of these two maps with the 1865 Pomeroy map makes clear that the Jacob Beals family did not move to a location in Richland Twp.; rather the township line was redrawn just north of their homestead. The Biery farm on p. 54 (Salem Twp, 1877) appears to read as Wm Biery; however the directory does not list a Wm Biery, and does list Nathan Biery. The farm is in the location of the Nathan Biery farm (N. Biery on the 1865 Pomeroy map). Nathan Biery had no children; if Wm Biery, identity unknown.

===Source Notes===
*All pages of the 1830 census for Berks Co. PA read; no Beals or spelling variant found.
*Note that in the 1850 census, Jacob Beals' family lives next door to the Michael Brae (Brey) family, in Beaver Twp., Clarion Co.
*''Commemorative Biographical Record of Central Pennsylvania'' (Source #8) states that the family settled in Venango County PA in 1839. Clarion County was formed in 1840, and the Beals homestead, formerly in Venango, apparently became part of Clarion County. The homestead in Beaver Twp. became part of newly formed Salem Twp. in 1856. The 1865 map(Pomeroy) shows the cluster of Beals/Biery farms in Salem Twp. just north of the township line. By the 1870 census, Jacob & Elizabeth and the 2 youngest sons are in Richland Twp. The homestead location is shown in the 1877 Caldwell Atlas in Richland Twp., just south of the Salem Twp. line. The Biery farm remained in Salem Twp.

*Regarding the lack of an 1860 census record: I have manually reviewed all census entries for Richland, Beaver, Salem, Elk, and Licking Townships, Clarion County, PA, along with Richland Township, Venango County, PA. No sign of the Jacob Beals family was found. The census for Richland Twp. Clarion Co. contains only one Beals residence, that of Jacob's son [[William Beals]] and his wife Susana. In Beaver Twp., we find another son, [[Jacob Beals, Jr.]] and his wife Clara. In Salem Twp., we find son, [[Samuel Beals|Samuel Beal]] and family, as well as Daniel Beals and his wife Elizabeth. No Beals (or variants) in Elk or Licking Twps.; Richland Twp, Venango Co., has a David Beels & wife Margaret (son of [[Daniel Beels]]), as well as an Elizabeth Beels (daughter of [[Daniel Beels]],age 31, working as a "domestic" in the home of a Mr. Coutter. The fact Jacob Beals's sons all still reside in the area; that Jacob's wife is not listed in the census as a widow; and that other of their children (especially son [[James Francis Beals]]) are also not found in 1860, we surmise that the Jacob Beals home was simply left out of the census for one reason or another.

=Conjecture=
* In trying to find the parents of ''Jacob Beals'': Index to Berks Co. PA Tax List 1770-1789 ("Faust"). This extraction was sent to us Dec 1991 by Thomas H. Beil, Reading PA. Richmond Twp. lies just west of Maxatawny Twp. in Berks Co. Maxatawny Twp. borders on Lehigh Co., and lies just west of Weisenbert and Upper Macungie Twps. in Lehigh Co. Note that our ''Jacob Beals'' father-in-law, [[Michael Brey]], owned land in Lower Macungie Twp., Lehigh Co. While we don't know the ages of these men, the names below are all married during the years sufficiently before 1806 (''Jacob Beals''' birth date) to be possible candidates for being his father. In the table below the names are separated by spelling variants, township variant, or marital status. However, it would incur no conflict of dates/location if there were only:
**one Abraham Bill /Biel (a change of Twp after marrying); 1778-1789
**one Jacob Bihl/Biel/Biehl individual in Maxatawny; 1775-1788

* Will Abstract for Abraham Biehl of Kutztown, Berks Co. PA, 22 Sept 1815-11 Apr 1818; all personal estate to wife Susanna; Exr: son-in-law John Kutz. Wit: John Dinius and John Paltzgrove. (Paltzgrove is possibly a form of Pfalzgraff, also seen as Fillgrove in Venango/Clarion Co. area where Jacob Beals settled). See will abstracts at http://berks.pa-roots.com/wills/Abstracts1816-1820.html
*In trying to determine if the family of ''Jacob Beals'' and [[Daniel Beels]] are related: It may be significant that a ''Daniel Biehl died in Lehigh County'' & is buried in the Fogelsville Union Cemetery. He was born in 1808, so is of the same generation as our ''Jacob Beals'' (b.1806). One could imagine this Daniel as possibly having an immigrant father (possibly also named Daniel). This older, conjectural Daniel would have been of the generation as the immigrant [[David Beels]], father of [[Daniel Beels]], and thus could have been his brother or cousin. If this older Daniel immigrated first and settled in the Lehigh area, [[David Beels]] (relationship conjectured) could have been trying to follow him to Lehigh County. Daniel immigrated through the port of Baltimore, (rather than Philadelphia which would make more sense if he were trying to reach Lehigh County), but we're told he was a stow-away, and may have taken what opportunity made itself available as to port of entry. David's son, [[Daniel Beels]], could conceivably have been named for this conjectural relative. We have no evidence that [[David Beels]] ever resided in Lehigh County. He could have visited there; however our information is that he proceeded on westward, to Center County, then to the Venango/Clarion counties border area. This leads to another possibility, that Daniel Biehl of Lehigh County (d. 1868) could have been the brother of our ''Jacob Beals'', who is said to have been born in Berks Co., but presumably married in Lehigh County about 1828-29, resided there until between 1833 and 1836, and then migrated to Clarion Co. by at least 1839. If this were the case, (that an older Daniel Biehl were the father of ''Jacob Beals'' and the brother of [[David Beels]]), then ''Jacob Beals'' (b. 1806) and [[Daniel Beels]] (b. 1792) would be cousins, and their sons who owned neighboring farms ([[James Francis Beals]] and [[David Beels (1827)]] (b. 1827) would have been 2nd cousins. ''By time period and coincidence of locations this is all possible, but at this point, all is HIGHLY conjectural''.

[[Jacob Beals]]

The Biehl surname is of German origin. The family intermarried with other German families who migrated to western PA at about the same time from the Lehigh Co.-Berks Co. border area of Pennsylvania. (See [[Michael Brey|Brey]], [[John Klein|Klein]]). In various descendents' records for this family, the Anglicized name is found spelled Beal, Beals, and Beels.

Jacob Beals is the progenitor of our line, and although he lived in Pennsylvania, his place of birth is unknown. What is known of Jacob Beals comes from two chri
stening records, for a son (our direct ancestor), and a daughter, both born in Lehigh County Pennsylvania.

[[Jacob Beals]]

The name Beals is English, but many immigrant families Anglicized their names. This particular Beals surname is seen as Biehl originally, of German origin. The family intermarried with other German families who migrated to western PA at about the same time from the Lehigh Co.-Berks Co. border area of Pennsylvania. (See [[Michael Brey|Brey]], [[John Klein|Klein]]). In various records for this family the name is found spelled Beal, Beals, Beels, and Biehl.

Jacob Beals is the progenitor of our line, and although he was born in Pennsylvania, his place of birth has yet to be proven. What is known of Jacob Beals is that he was born in Pennsylvania in 1806. A biography of his son Hiram (''Commemorative Biographical Record of Central Pennsylvania'', 1898 by Beers, p. 1408) says that Jacob was "a native of Berks County, of German descent." The same source says that his wife, Elizabeth Bry, was born in Lehigh County.

This map indicates that the Jacob Beals farm lay in Salem Twp., rather than Richland. In fact portions of it lay in both townships.

Hiram Beals, an honored veteran of the Civil war and a leading citizen of Richland township, Clarion county, was born July 31, 1840, in Venango county, Penn., and is a son of Jacob Beals, a native of Berks county, of German descent. The mother, who bore the maiden name of Elizabeth Bry, was born in Lehigh county, and was a daughter of Michael Bry. In 1839 the parents took up their residence in Venango county, where the father died at the age of eighty-three years, but the mother is still living at the advanced age of ninety. He was a famer by occupation, a Democrat in politics and a Lutheran in religious belief. The mother is also a consistent member of the Church. Their family numbered eight children, namely: Flora Anna; Samuel; Benjamin; Jacob;, who was a Union soldier during the Rebellion; William; Hiram; Levi; and James. (See complete article).

Salem Twp Directory, p. 165, lists N. Biery with 9 acres, P.O. Agnew's Mills, laborer. The comparison of these two maps with the 1865 Pomeroy map makes clear that the Jacob Beals family did not move to a location in Richland Twp.; rather the township line was redrawn just north of their homestead. The Biery farm on p. 54 (Salem Twp, 1877) appears to read as Wm Biery; however the directory does not list a Wm Biery, and does list Nathan Biery. The farm is in the location of the Nathan Biery farm (N. Biery on the 1865 Pomeroy map). Nathan Biery had no children; if Wm Biery, identity unknown.

===Source Notes===
*All pages of the 1830 census for Berks Co. PA read; no Beals or spelling variant found.
*Note that in the 1850 census, Jacob Beals' family lives next door to the Michael Brae (Brey) family, in Beaver Twp., Clarion Co.
*''Commemorative Biographical Record of Central Pennsylvania'' (Source #8) states that the family settled in Venango County PA in 1839. Clarion County was formed in 1840, and the Beals homestead, formerly in Venango, apparently became part of Clarion County. The homestead in Beaver Twp. became part of newly formed Salem Twp. in 1856. The 1865 map(Pomeroy) shows the cluster of Beals/Biery farms in Salem Twp. just north of the township line. By the 1870 census, Jacob & Elizabeth and the 2 youngest sons are in Richland Twp. The homestead location is shown in the 1877 Caldwell Atlas in Richland Twp., just south of the Salem Twp. line. The Biery farm remained in Salem Twp.

*Regarding the lack of an 1860 census record: I have manually reviewed all census entries for Richland, Beaver, Salem, Elk, and Licking Townships, Clarion County, PA, along with Richland Township, Venango County, PA. No sign of the Jacob Beals family was found. The census for Richland Twp. Clarion Co. contains only one Beals residence, that of Jacob's son [[William Beals]] and his wife Susana. In Beaver Twp., we find another son, [[Jacob Beals, Jr.]] and his wife Clara. In Salem Twp., we find son, [[Samuel Beals|Samuel Beal]] and family, as well as Daniel Beals and his wife Elizabeth. No Beals (or variants) in Elk or Licking Twps.; Richland Twp, Venango Co., has a David Beels & wife Margaret (son of [[Daniel Beels]]), as well as an Elizabeth Beels (daughter of [[Daniel Beels]],age 31, working as a "domestic" in the home of a Mr. Coutter. The fact Jacob Beals's sons all still reside in the area; that Jacob's wife is not listed in the census as a widow; and that other of their children (especially son [[James Francis Beals]]) are also not found in 1860, we surmise that the Jacob Beals home was simply left out of the census for one reason or another.

=Conjecture=
* In trying to find the parents of ''Jacob Beals'': Index to Berks Co. PA Tax List 1770-1789 ("Faust"). This extraction was sent to us Dec 1991 by Thomas H. Beil, Reading PA. Richmond Twp. lies just west of Maxatawny Twp. in Berks Co. Maxatawny Twp. borders on Lehigh Co., and lies just west of Weisenbert and Upper Macungie Twps. in Lehigh Co. Note that our ''Jacob Beals'' father-in-law, [[Michael Brey]], owned land in Lower Macungie Twp., Lehigh Co. While we don't know the ages of these men, the names below are all married during the years sufficiently before 1806 (''Jacob Beals''' birth date) to be possible candidates for being his father. In the table below the names are separated by spelling variants, township variant, or marital status. However, it would incur no conflict of dates/location if there were only:
**one Abraham Bill /Biel (a change of Twp after marrying); 1778-1789
**one Jacob Bihl/Biel/Biehl individual in Maxatawny; 1775-1788
**one Peter Biel/Biehl individual in Maxatawny; 1774-1789

* Will Abstract for Abraham Biehl of Kutztown, Berks Co. PA, 22 Sept 1815-11 Apr 1818; all personal estate to wife Susanna; Exr: son-in-law John Kutz. Wit: John Dinius and John Paltzgrove. (Paltzgrove is possibly a form of Pfalzgraff, also seen as Fillgrove in Venango/Clarion Co. area where Jacob Beals settled). See will abstracts at http://berks.pa-roots.com/wills/Abstracts1816-1820.html
*In trying to determine if the family of ''Jacob Beals'' and [[Daniel Beels]] are related: It may be significant that a ''Daniel Biehl died in Lehigh County'' & is buried in the Fogelsville Union Cemetery. He was born in 1808, so is of the same generation as our ''Jacob Beals'' (b.1806). One could imagine this Daniel as possibly having an immigrant father (possibly also named Daniel). This older, conjectural Daniel would have been of the generation as the immigrant [[David Beels]], father of [[Daniel Beels]], and thus could have been his brother or cousin. If this older Daniel immigrated first and settled in the Lehigh area, [[David Beels]] (relationship conjectured) could have been trying to follow him to Lehigh County. Daniel immigrated through the port of Baltimore, (rather than Philadelphia which would make more sense if he were trying to reach Lehigh County), but we're told he was a stow-away, and may have taken what opportunity made itself available as to port of entry. David's son, [[Daniel Beels]], could conceivably have been named for this conjectural relative. We have no evidence that [[David Beels]] ever resided in Lehigh County. He could have visited there; however our information is that he proceeded on westward, to Center County, then to the Venango/Clarion counties border area. This leads to another possibility, that Daniel Biehl of Lehigh County (d. 1868) could have been the brother of our ''Jacob Beals'', who is said to have been born in Berks Co., but presumably married in Lehigh County about 1828-29, resided there until between 1833 and 1836, and then migrated to Clarion Co. by at least 1839. If this were the case, (that an older Daniel Biehl were the father of ''Jacob Beals'' and the brother of [[David Beels]]), then ''Jacob Beals'' (b. 1806) and [[Daniel Beels]] (b. 1792) would be cousins, and their sons who owned neighboring farms ([[James Francis Beals]] and [[David Beels (1827)]] (b. 1827) would have been 2nd cousins. ''By time period and coincidence of locations this is all possible, but at this point, all is HIGHLY conjectural''.
 See ''Tombstone Inscriptions, Fogelsville Union Cemetery, Lehigh Co., PA'' compiled by St. John's Church, at Lehigh County Historical Soc. Library, Allentown.

If this family is related to our Jacob Beals, then his father, head of this household, would also be named Jacob, age 40-50 in 1830. Our Jacob, if born in 1806, should be 24, but would have to be the male in the age 15-20 category of this census. Other males: 1 age under 5, 1 age 10-15. Females: 1 age 5-10, 1 age 10-15, 1 age 15-20, 1 age 40-50. Given the spelling variant, and the age wobble for the son, it is less likely that this is our family.

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vstern/christ_reformed/revolutionary_soldiers_memorial.htm

* Jacob Biehl, born 1857 in Rheinprensen, Prussia, immmigrated at age 24 (~1881) to Elizabethton, Lancaster Co., then in 1882 to Pittsburgh where he worked at a brewery. In 1884 her married Mary Lippel. In 1890 they moved to Tyrone, Blair Co. PA where he partnered with Louis Roehl in operating the Bavarian Brewing Company. Member St. Mathews Catholic Church of Tyrone,Blair Co. PA. His parents were Michael Biehl (~1822-1811) & Barbara Singer, lifelong of Rheinprensen. Note: This Jacob Biehl is born too late to be our Jacob Beals, but it is interesting that he apparently new the brewing arts. Our Jacob Beals father-in-law may also have been of a family of brewers, as his name Brey (various spellings) translates "brewer". Our Beals & Brey families were Lutherans, but Michael Brey's wife's affiliation is not known nor her gravesite located; perhaps she was Catholic.

[[Jacob Beals]]

The name Beals is English, but many immigrant families Anglicized their names. This particular Beals surname is seen as Biehl originally, of German origin. The family intermarried with other German families who migrated to western PA at about the same time from the Lehigh Co.-Berks Co. border area of Pennsylvania. (See [[Michael Brey|Brey]], [[John Klein|Klein]]). In various records for this family the name is found spelled Beal, Beals, Beels, and Biehl.

Jacob Beals is the progenitor of our line, and although he was born in Pennsylvania, his place of birth has yet to be proven. What is known of Jacob Beals is that he was born in Pennsylvania in 1806. A biography of his son Hiram (''Commemorative Biographical Record of Central Pennsylvania'', 1898 by Beers, p. 1408) says that Jacob was "a native of Berks County, of German descent." The same source says that his wife, Elizabeth Bry, was born in Lehigh County.

The mother, who bore the maiden name of Elizabeth Bry, was born in Lehigh county, and was a daughter of Michael Bry. In 1839 the parents took up their residence in Venango county, where the father died at the age of eighty-three years, but the mother is still living at the advanced age of ninety. He was a famer by occupation, a Democrat in politics and a Lutheran in religious belief. The mother is also a consistent member of the Church. Their family numbered eight children, namely: Flora Anna; Samuel; Benjamin; Jacob;, who was a Union soldier during the Rebellion; William; Hiram; Levi; and James. (See complete article).

Salem Twp Directory, p. 165, lists N. Biery with 9 acres, P.O. Agnew's Mills, laborer. The comparison of these two maps with the 1865 Pomeroy map makes clear that the Jacob Beals family did not move to a location in Richland Twp.; rather the township line was redrawn just north of their homestead. The Biery farm on p. 54 (Salem Twp, 1877) appears to read as Wm Biery; however the directory does not list a Wm Biery, and does list Nathan Biery. The farm is in the location of the Nathan Biery farm (N. Biery on the 1865 Pomeroy map). Nathan Biery had no children; if Wm Biery, identity unknown.

===Source Notes===
*All pages of the 1830 census for Berks Co. PA read; no Beals or spelling variant found.
*Note that in the 1850 census, Jacob Beals' family lives next door to the Michael Brae (Brey) family, in Beaver Twp., Clarion Co.
*''Commemorative Biographical Record of Central Pennsylvania'' (Source #8) states that the family settled in Venango County PA in 1839. Clarion County was formed in 1840, and the Beals homestead, formerly in Venango, apparently became part of Clarion County. The homestead in Beaver Twp. became part of newly formed Salem Twp. in 1856. The 1865 map(Pomeroy) shows the cluster of Beals/Biery farms in Salem Twp. just north of the township line. By the 1870 census, Jacob & Elizabeth and the 2 youngest sons are in Richland Twp. The homestead location is shown in the 1877 Caldwell Atlas in Richland Twp., just south of the Salem Twp. line. The Biery farm remained in Salem Twp.

*Regarding the lack of an 1860 census record: I have manually reviewed all census entries for Richland, Beaver, Salem, Elk, and Licking Townships, Clarion County, PA, along with Richland Township, Venango County, PA. No sign of the Jacob Beals family was found. The census for Richland Twp. Clarion Co. contains only one Beals residence, that of Jacob's son [[William Beals]] and his wife Susana. In Beaver Twp., we find another son, [[Jacob Beals, Jr.]] and his wife Clara. In Salem Twp., we find son, [[Samuel Beals|Samuel Beal]] and family, as well as Daniel Beals and his wife Elizabeth. No Beals (or variants) in Elk or Licking Twps.; Richland Twp, Venango Co., has a David Beels & wife Margaret (son of [[Daniel Beels]]), as well as an Elizabeth Beels (daughter of [[Daniel Beels]],age 31, working as a "domestic" in the home of a Mr. Coutter. The fact Jacob Beals's sons all still reside in the area; that Jacob's wife is not listed in the census as a widow; and that other of their children (especially son [[James Francis Beals]]) are also not found in 1860, we surmise that the Jacob Beals home was simply left out of the census for one reason or another.

=Conjecture=
* In trying to find the parents of ''Jacob Beals'': Index to Berks Co. PA Tax List 1770-1789 ("Faust"). This extraction was sent to us Dec 1991 by Thomas H. Beil, Reading PA. Richmond Twp. lies just west of Maxatawny Twp. in Berks Co. Maxatawny Twp. borders on Lehigh Co., and lies just west of Weisenbert and Upper Macungie Twps. in Lehigh Co. Note that our ''Jacob Beals'' father-in-law, [[Michael Brey]], owned land in Lower Macungie Twp., Lehigh Co. While we don't know the ages of these men, the names below are all married during the years sufficiently before 1806 (''Jacob Beals''' birth date) to be possible candidates for being his father. In the table below the names are separated by spelling variants, township variant, or marital status. However, it would incur no conflict of dates/location if there were only:
**one Abraham Bill /Biel (a change of Twp after marrying); 1778-1789
**one Jacob Bihl/Biel/Biehl individual in Maxatawny; 1775-1788
**one Peter Biel/Biehl individual in Maxatawny; 1774-1789

* Will Abstract for Abraham Biehl of Kutztown, Berks Co. PA, 22 Sept 1815-11 Apr 1818; all personal estate to wife Susanna; Exr: son-in-law John Kutz. Wit: John Dinius and John Paltzgrove. (Paltzgrove is possibly a form of Pfalzgraff, also seen as Fillgrove in Venango/Clarion Co. area where Jacob Beals settled). See will abstracts at http://berks.pa-roots.com/wills/Abstracts1816-1820.html
*In trying to determine if the family of ''Jacob Beals'' and [[Daniel Beels]] are related: It may be significant that a ''Daniel Biehl died in Lehigh County'' & is buried in the Fogelsville Union Cemetery. He was born in 1808, so is of the same generation as our ''Jacob Beals'' (b.1806). One could imagine this Daniel as possibly having an immigrant father (possibly also named Daniel). This older, conjectural Daniel would have been of the generation as the immigrant [[David Beels]], father of [[Daniel Beels]], and thus could have been his brother or cousin. If this older Daniel immigrated first and settled in the Lehigh area, [[David Beels]] (relationship conjectured) could have been trying to follow him to Lehigh County. Daniel immigrated through the port of Baltimore, (rather than Philadelphia which would make more sense if he were trying to reach Lehigh County), but we're told he was a stow-away, and may have taken what opportunity made itself available as to port of entry. David's son, [[Daniel Beels]], could conceivably have been named for this conjectural relative. We have no evidence that [[David Beels]] ever resided in Lehigh County. He could have visited there; however our information is that he proceeded on westward, to Center County, then to the Venango/Clarion counties border area. This leads to another possibility, that Daniel Biehl of Lehigh County (d. 1868) could have been the brother of our ''Jacob Beals'', who is said to have been born in Berks Co., but presumably married in Lehigh County about 1828-29, resided there until between 1833 and 1836, and then migrated to Clarion Co. by at least 1839. If this were the case, (that an older Daniel Biehl were the father of ''Jacob Beals'' and the brother of [[David Beels]]), then ''Jacob Beals'' (b. 1806) and [[Daniel Beels]] (b. 1792) would be cousins, and their sons who owned neighboring farms ([[James Francis Beals]] and [[David Beels (1827)]] (b. 1827) would have been 2nd cousins. ''By time period and coincidence of locations this is all possible, but at this point, all is HIGHLY conjectural''.
 See ''Tombstone Inscriptions, Fogelsville Union Cemetery, Lehigh Co., PA'' compiled by St. John's Church, at Lehigh County Historical Soc. Library, Allentown.

If this family is related to our Jacob Beals, then his father, head of this household, would also be named Jacob, age 40-50 in 1830. Our Jacob, if born in 1806, should be 24, but would have to be the male in the age 15-20 category of this census. Other males: 1 age under 5, 1 age 10-15. Females: 1 age 5-10, 1 age 10-15, 1 age 15-20, 1 age 40-50. Given the spelling variant, and the age wobble for the son, it is less likely that this is our family. Jacob Beals did however have children born in Lehigh County.

Note: This Jacob Biehl is born too late to be our Jacob Beals, but it is interesting that he apparently new the brewing arts. Our Jacob Beals father-in-law may also have been of a family of brewers, as his name Brey (various spellings) translates "brewer". Our Beals & Brey families were Lutherans, but Michael Brey's wife's affiliation is not known nor her gravesite located; perhaps she was Catholic.

[[Jacob Beals]]

The name Beals is English, but many immigrant families Anglicized their names. This particular Beals surname is seen as Biehl originally, of German origin. The family intermarried with other German families who migrated to western PA at about the same time from the Lehigh Co.-Berks Co. border area of Pennsylvania. (See [[Michael Brey|Brey]], [[John Klein|Klein]]). In various records for this family the name is found spelled Beal, Beals, Beels, and Biehl.

Jacob Beals is the progenitor of our line, and although he was born in Pennsylvania, his place of birth has yet to be proven. What is known of Jacob Beals is that he was born in Pennsylvania in 1806. A biography of his son Hiram (''Commemorative Biographical Record of Central Pennsylvania'', 1898 by Beers, p. 1408) says that Jacob was "a native of Berks County, of German descent." The same source says that his wife, Elizabeth Bry, was born in Lehigh County.

===Source Notes===
*All pages of the 1830 census for Berks Co. PA read; no Beals or spelling variant found.
*Note that in the 1850 census, Jacob Beals' family lives next door to the Michael Brae (Brey) family, in Beaver Twp., Clarion Co.
*''Commemorative Biographical Record of Central Pennsylvania'' (Source #8) states that the family settled in Venango County PA in 1839. Clarion County was formed in 1840, and the Beals homestead, formerly in Venango, apparently became part of Clarion County. The homestead in Beaver Twp. became part of newly formed Salem Twp. in 1856. The 1865 map(Pomeroy) shows the cluster of Beals/Biery farms in Salem Twp. just north of the township line. By the 1870 census, Jacob & Elizabeth and the 2 youngest sons are in Richland Twp. The homestead location is shown in the 1877 Caldwell Atlas in Richland Twp., just south of the Salem Twp. line. The Biery farm remained in Salem Twp.

*Regarding the lack of an 1860 census record: I have manually reviewed all census entries for Richland, Beaver, Salem, Elk, and Licking Townships, Clarion County, PA, along with Richland Township, Venango County, PA. No sign of the Jacob Beals family was found. The census for Richland Twp. Clarion Co. contains only one Beals residence, that of Jacob's son [[William Beals]] and his wife Susana. In Beaver Twp., we find another son, [[Jacob Beals, Jr.]] and his wife Clara. In Salem Twp., we find son, [[Samuel Beals|Samuel Beal]] and family, as well as Daniel Beals and his wife Elizabeth. No Beals (or variants) in Elk or Licking Twps.; Richland Twp, Venango Co., has a David Beels & wife Margaret (son of [[Daniel Beels]]), as well as an Elizabeth Beels (daughter of [[Daniel Beels]],age 31, working as a "domestic" in the home of a Mr. Coutter. The fact Jacob Beals's sons all still reside in the area; that Jacob's wife is not listed in the census as a widow; and that other of their children (especially son [[James Francis Beals]]) are also not found in 1860, we surmise that the Jacob Beals home was simply left out of the census for one reason or another.

=Conjecture=
* In trying to find the parents of ''Jacob Beals'': Index to Berks Co. PA Tax List 1770-1789 ("Faust"). This extraction was sent to us Dec 1991 by Thomas H. Beil, Reading PA. Richmond Twp. lies just west of Maxatawny Twp. in Berks Co. Maxatawny Twp. borders on Lehigh Co., and lies just west of Weisenbert and Upper Macungie Twps. in Lehigh Co. Note that our ''Jacob Beals'' father-in-law, [[Michael Brey]], owned land in Lower Macungie Twp., Lehigh Co. While we don't know the ages of these men, the names below are all married during the years sufficiently before 1806 (''Jacob Beals''' birth date) to be possible candidates for being his father. In the table below the names are separated by spelling variants, township variant, or marital status. However, it would incur no conflict of dates/location if there were only:
**one Abraham Bill /Biel (a change of Twp after marrying); 1778-1789
**one Jacob Bihl/Biel/Biehl individual in Maxatawny; 1775-1788
**one Peter Biel/Biehl individual in Maxatawny; 1774-1789
** one Peter Beal/Biel/Beil/Bill/Beall/Biehl/Behle/Beihl individual in Richmond Twp. 1770-1789

* Will Abstract for Abraham Biehl of Kutztown, Berks Co. PA, 22 Sept 1815-11 Apr 1818; all personal estate to wife Susanna; Exr: son-in-law John Kutz. Wit: John Dinius and John Paltzgrove. (Paltzgrove is possibly a form of Pfalzgraff, also seen as Fillgrove in Venango/Clarion Co. area where Jacob Beals settled). See will abstracts at http://berks.pa-roots.com/wills/Abstracts1816-1820.html
*In trying to determine if the family of ''Jacob Beals'' and [[Daniel Beels]] are related: It may be significant that a ''Daniel Biehl died in Lehigh County'' & is buried in the Fogelsville Union Cemetery. He was born in 1808, so is of the same generation as our ''Jacob Beals'' (b.1806). One could imagine this Daniel as possibly having an immigrant father (possibly also named Daniel). This older, conjectural Daniel would have been of the generation as the immigrant [[David Beels]], father of [[Daniel Beels]], and thus could have been his brother or cousin. If this older Daniel immigrated first and settled in the Lehigh area, [[David Beels]] (relationship conjectured) could have been trying to follow him to Lehigh County. Daniel immigrated through the port of Baltimore, (rather than Philadelphia which would make more sense if he were trying to reach Lehigh County), but we're told he was a stow-away, and may have taken what opportunity made itself available as to port of entry. David's son, [[Daniel Beels]], could conceivably have been named for this conjectural relative. We have no evidence that [[David Beels]] ever resided in Lehigh County. He could have visited there; however our information is that he proceeded on westward, to Center County, then to the Venango/Clarion counties border area. This leads to another possibility, that Daniel Biehl of Lehigh County (d. 1868) could have been the brother of our ''Jacob Beals'', who is said to have been born in Berks Co., but presumably married in Lehigh County about 1828-29, resided there until between 1833 and 1836, and then migrated to Clarion Co. by at least 1839. If this were the case, (that an older Daniel Biehl were the father of ''Jacob Beals'' and the brother of [[David Beels]]), then ''Jacob Beals'' (b. 1806) and [[Daniel Beels]] (b. 1792) would be cousins, and their sons who owned neighboring farms ([[James Francis Beals]] and [[David Beels (1827)]] (b. 1827) would have been 2nd cousins. ''By time period and coincidence of locations this is all possible, but at this point, all is HIGHLY conjectural''.
 See ''Tombstone Inscriptions, Fogelsville Union Cemetery, Lehigh Co., PA'' compiled by St. John's Church, at Lehigh County Historical Soc. Library, Allentown.

*'''[[Source:_1820_United_States_Federal_Census|1820 United States Federal Census]]''', Richmond Twp.,Berks Co. PA, pg.3. Household of Peter Beel (wife & 7 children). Males: 2 aged 10-16, 3 aged 16-26, 1 aged 45 & over. Females: 1 aged 10-16, 1 aged 16-26, 1 aged 26-45. Note: Jacob Beals would be aged 14 years in 1820; this household has a son of that age. Jacob was said to be from Berks County. Relationship to this Peter Beel is conjectural; at present, no further information links Peter to our direct line. On the same census page are listed families named Disler, Mayer, Fegele, and Philip, John & James Kline.(See Conjecture section elsewhere: 4 Beels or Beals families live in Maxatawny Twp., Berks Co. in 1820, including 2 Jacob Beels, but without sons of the appropriate age to be our Jacob).

* '''[[Source:_1830_United_States_Federal_Census|1830 United States Federal Census]]''',Upper Sacon Twp., Lehigh Co. PA, Ancestry.com pg. 3. Family of Jacob (Biles)? If this family is related to our Jacob Beals, then his father, head of this household, would also be named Jacob, age 40-50 in 1830. Our Jacob, if born in 1806, should be 24, but would have to be the male in the age 15-20 category of this census. Other males: 1 age under 5, 1 age 10-15. Females: 1 age 5-10, 1 age 10-15, 1 age 15-20, 1 age 40-50. Given the spelling variant, and the age wobble for the son, it is less likely that this is our family. Jacob Beals did however have children born in Lehigh County.

None have a son in the10-16 yr. age bracket, (our Jacob Beals would be 14 in 1820), but it is expected these may be extended family connections.

*Jacob Biehl, veteran of Rev. War, buried at Gettysburg, Christ Reformed Cemetery. No known relationship. See photo of memorial:

* Jacob Biehl, born 1857 in Rheinprensen, Prussia, immmigrated at age 24 (~1881) to Elizabethton, Lancaster Co., then in 1882 to Pittsburgh where he worked at a brewery. In 1884 her married Mary Lippel. In 1890 they moved to Tyrone, Blair Co. PA where he partnered with Louis Roehl in operating the Bavarian Brewing Company. Member St. Mathews Catholic Church of Tyrone,Blair Co. PA. His parents were Michael Biehl (~1822-1811) & Barbara Singer, lifelong of Rheinprensen. Note: This Jacob Biehl is born too late to be our Jacob Beals, but it is interesting that he apparently new the brewing arts. Our Jacob Beals father-in-law may also have been of a family of brewers, as his name Brey (various spellings) translates "brewer". Our Beals & Brey families were Lutherans, but Michael Brey's wife's affiliation is not known nor her gravesite located; perhaps she was Catholic.

William O. Klein was 11 yrs. old when his father died and 13 yrs. old when his mother died. He lived for a time with the Fye family (his sister Catherine). "He had the hardest job at the mill until he was about 18." William O. Klein has not been identified in the 1870 census as yet; he would be 19 yrs old and was probably working. He is not found living with his siblings. He married in 1874 and does appear in the 1880 the census with wife Mary and children.

He owned a house in Venus, (unincorporated community including parts of Venango and Clarion Counties), as mentioned in the 1877 History of Clarion County, Pennsylvania.

|'''''Descendants of Martin Klein''''' research manuscript by Cammy Whitehill Shreffler. Portion re. William O. Klein conveyed by his daughter, Lizzie Kline Burgdorger, to her daughters Marie Glass Piper & Dorothea Glass Slye; thence to Cammy Whitehill Shreffler, granddaughter of Dorothea Glass Slye. William O. Klein was 11 yrs. old when his father died and 13 yrs. old when his mother died. He lived for a time with the Fye family (his sister Catherine). "He had the hardest job at the mill until he was about 18." William O. Klein has not been identified in the 1870 census as yet; he would be 19 yrs old and was probably working. He is not found living with his siblings. He married in 1874 and does appear in the 1880 the census with wife Mary and children.

*'''1920 Census''': The two children, Andie & Robbie, were born in NC, not SC, on the farm of Grace King Hipp where the young family of Mack Herron King & wife were living; the deed for the farm is a NC deed, found in the Mecklenburg Co. Register's office. The farm lies in lower Steele Creek Twp., on the backwaters of the Catawba River, on Lake Wylie. The house lies 300 ft. from the border of York Co. SC. Between 1918 & 1920 the family moved to "Power Company Village" at the Catawba River Dam; this is actually in York Co. SC, and the next several children (Mack H. Jr., Jetta, Grace, & possibly Ruth) were born there in SC. Again in this census, Mack Herron King seems to only have aged 6 years since the previous census [in which he also aged less than 10 years]. He is now listed as 10 years behind his actual age. [[Nancy Grace Thomas]] is also listed 10 years too young here. The children's ages, however, are correct. The enumerator listed the daughter Robbie King as a son, "Robert."

Timothy Stoughton

2023-10-01T14:33:41Z

Liz: Source 8:Jim Voltz acknowledgement, and addition of Timothy Stoughton to source 9

__NOTOC__

Timothy Stoughton was "a sadler by trade and at times he paid his rates by mending a saddle according to entries in the Rate Book kept by his uncle, Rev. Timothy Edwards for whom he had been named". He was born in Windsor, Connecticut, and thirty years later married in Hartford, Connecticut to Hannah Olcott, daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Foote) Olcott. When Hannah died seven years later, Timothy "appears to have remained (in Hartford) for the following six or seven years. By 1751 he was in Somerset County, Province of New Jersey, the county in which his son William eventually married Catherine Covert. Subsequently he seems to have been out of touch with his relatives in Windsor for an number of years. When His brother Isaac's estate was settled in 1755, a share was left for "Mr. Timothy, if he was living at ye time of ye Deceased Death."..."He was of Provincetown, Frederick County, Maryland in 1763 when he sold his interest in his father's home lot to Oliver Stoughton, son of his cousin Nathaniel." He was not living 26 March 1780, per a letter from Jonathan to Samuel Stoughton, see below. It is addressed to Greenfield, presumably in Maryland, possibly present day Greenfield Mills area, near Baltimore. In fact, all three brothers born to Hannah Olcott may have been more or less out of touch with one another. In the letter below dated 27 Aug, 1809, Augustus, son of John Stoughton, wrote to his uncle Samuel saying he had just received news of the death of his father, news out of date by 20 years, likely because Augustus himself had removed to the "Province of Canada". It is not surprising that the family was not close. Timothy, the father, gave up Samuel to an apprenticeship as an infant, and some years after wife Hannah died, Timothy moved to New Jersey, then to Maryland. The full letters reflect a deep religeous faith, but neglected relationships.
 "Timothy Stoughton is supposed to have married a second time, but details of his History after his departure from Hartford are unknown". The above notes and quotes are from Source 1, summary by [[Elizabeth Ann Wilson|EWW]] The information given by Fuller in source 5 seems a summary from other sources, but reveals that Timothy had a 2nd wife, and that at least one child was born to that union. We believe we have compelling evidence that there was a 2nd child to that union, William Stoughton born 1742-43.

* William was born after Hannah Olcott died; also 7 or 8 years after Jonathan was born. It is quite unlikely Jonathan and Mary Walker were his parents as many researchers suggest. William could be a nephew, or a half-brother of Jonathan or his brothers, but given the depth to which their lines were documented early, a half-brother from the unfamiliar family makes sense.

[[Image:Portrait-BertWinfredWilson_ClaraMabelWimer.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Bert Winiford Wilson and [[Clara Mabel Wimer]]]]
The Wilson family came to western Pennsylvania from Berks County in the early 1840’s, and are presumably of English, Scottish or Scots Irish ancestry. Bert Wilson’s mother was a Stoughton, with English and Dutch ancestry. The Wilsons and Stoughtons were among the pioneer settlers of Butler County, Pennsylvania.

Bert was born 28 February 1891 to [[James L. Wilson]] and [[Elizabeth Ann Stoughton]] Wilson. Bert grew up as the youngest of four children, with two older brothers and a sister. He attended grade school, and learned reading and writing. With his father he became familiar with the farm, logging sites and the saw mill. They also enjoyed hunting wild game.

The Kelly Store, a general store and at one time the post office, was a familiar Nickleville landmark to the Wilson family. After their parents died, sisters Marian & Ruth Kelly continued to run the store for a time. Marian & Ruth were friends of John & Ella Wilson; had gone to high school with them at Emlenton. Plans were in place for the store to be destroyed in June 2007 when this photo was taken. The store was originally built by the Nickle family, founders of Nickleville.

* [6] [7] The two draft registration cards list different townships of birth. This is possibly due to changes in township boundaries, but that has not been cofirmed. The two cards also list different spellings for Bert's middle name. The actual correct spelling, "Winiford", is confirmed by his son Russell Winiford Wilson who shares the name.

===Source notes===
*The writer of the biographical sketch (in History of Venango County PA) names the father of Thomas Hoge as John rather than James, and the paternal grandmother as Mary rather than Letitia. Given this degree of inaccuracy, our confidence in the maternal grandparents names is diminished. This however is at present the only source we have naming Mary Irwin's parents. It appears that both the Hogues and Irwins were from Tuscarora Valley in present-day Juniata County.

=Conjecture=

| '''History of Venango County PA''', Brown Runk & Co, 1890, Vol 2, pg. 831. "Thomas Hoge, deceased, was born in Butler County, PA, March 7, 1808, son of John (sic) and Mary (Irwin) Hoge. His grandparents, Robert and Mary (sic) Hoge, were natives of Ireland, as were also his maternal grandparents, '''James and Martha Irwin''', who emigrated in 1760 and settled in the Tuscarora Valley, Juniata County. His parents were married in 1789 and reared a family of five sons, Thomas being the youngest..."
|}

===Source notes===
*The writer of the biographical sketch (in History of Venango County PA) names the father of Thomas Hoge as John rather than James, and the paternal grandmother as Mary rather than Letitia. Given this degree of inaccuracy, our confidence in the maternal grandparents names is diminished. This however is at present the only source we have naming Mary Irwin's parents. It appears that both the Hogues and Irwins were from Tuscarora Valley in present-day Juniata County.

=Conjecture=
* '''1895 History of Butler Co. PA''', p. 51, Taxables of 1803, Connoquenessing Twp., lists a James Irvine with 100 acres, 1 cow,1 horse or oxen, valuation $80, tax $0.24. This could be a brother of Mary Irwin, or could be unrelated.

'''Samuel Beals''' is not in my direct ancestry. He is 1 step removed in the following ways:
* Brother of [[James Francis Beals]]
* Son of [[Jacob Beals]] and [[Elizabeth Brey]]
|}

 
Samuel and Catherine had been married for nine years and had three living children when the Civil War began. Samuel did not go to war, but had three brothers who served, and survived. 
Instructions for the census-takers of 1880 include "The Name of each Person
whose place of abode on 1st day of June 1880, was in this family." For the family of Samuel Beals, the name of wife Catherine is listed, with the note "Hung herself June 3." Catherine was fifty years old. The youngest child, a daughter, was age ten. Catherine's graceful pink marble stone is in the Emanuel Lutheran Cemetery, the property for which was donated by the Beals family. Seven months later (January 1881) Samuel married Lizzy Levy, and in September of that year their first child was born. Samuel's obituary says he had fourteen children, seven by the first marriage, six by the second, and one step-son. This however does not take into account the two children who died young, one by each wife. The step-son, Warren Baker, has not yet been traced by us, and it is unclear how he could be the son by a first marriage of either Catherine Marsh (living at home with her parents in 1850 census) or Lizzy Leavy (at home with her parents in 1880). He does not appear in any census in the Samuel Beals household.

===Source Notes===
* The Clarion County Cemeteries transcription project of 1986, available through the Clarion County Historical Society shows a gravestone at Emanuel Lutheran Cemetery, Beaver City, transcribed as "Beals, Isaac, Son of S. & C. Beals." It notes that the grave is near that of Catherine Beals. This child is not noted in any other source that we are aware of. In two trips to this cemetery by E. W. Williams (1991 when stones were less weathered, & 2006 after much undergrowth was cleared away), transcriptions were made of a small stone that reads "''Infant'' son of J & C Beals, died May 21 1860 aged 5 days." This is believed to be a child of Jacob Beals, Jr. and wife Clara. It is wondered if the previous transcriber ( possibly a Girl Scout project for the Historical Society) mistook "Infant Son" for "Isaac Son". The "J" & "C" are faint, easily misread, and the date could be 1850 or 1860. Neither of these dates works well for a child of Samuel & Catherine Beals; they weren't married until 1852, and they had another child born in 1860.
* In the 1900 census wife Elizabeth reports having 6 children, 6 currently living. The Salem Lutheran Cemetery association lists a 7th, Essie, apparently (by order listed) born between 1886 and 1890; infant death. Correspondant/Contributor Duane Beals confirms a daughter Essa, born May or June, 1889.
* Obituary of Samuel Beals in Seneca Kicker: reports erroneously that Samuel Beals was buried at Emanuel Cemetery. Samuel had given land for this cemetery and his first wife Catherine Marsh is buried there, but he was buried with a large gravestone at Knox Cemetery with his 2nd wife Lizzy Leavey.
* Obituary of Clara Reed (daughter of Samuel Beals) says husband was "Charles Beals", but is likely Charles Reed, ie. C.P.Reed. Reporter likely substituted Clare's maiden name, Beals.

'''Samuel Beals''' is not in my direct ancestry. He is 1 step removed in the following ways:
* Brother of [[James Francis Beals]]
* Son of [[Jacob Beals]] and [[Elizabeth Brey]]
|}

 
Samuel and Catherine had been married for nine years and had three living children when the Civil War began. Samuel did not go to war, but had three brothers who served, and survived. 
Instructions for the census-takers of 1880 include "The Name of each Person
whose place of abode on 1st day of June 1880, was in this family." For the family of Samuel Beals, the name of wife Catherine is listed, with the note "Hung herself June 3." Catherine was fifty years old. The youngest child, a daughter, was age ten. Catherine's graceful pink marble stone is in the Emanuel Lutheran Cemetery, the property for which was donated by the Beals family. Seven months later (January 1881) Samuel married Lizzy Levy, and in September of that year their first child was born. Samuel's obituary says he had fourteen children, seven by the first marriage, six by the second, and one step-son. This however does not take into account the two children who died young, one by each wife. The step-son, Warren Baker, has not yet been traced by us, and it is unclear how he could be the son by a first marriage of either Catherine Marsh (living at home with her parents in 1850 census) or Lizzy Leavy (at home with her parents in 1880). He does not appear in any census in the Samuel Beals household.

===Source Notes===
* The Clarion County Cemeteries transcription project of 1986, available through the Clarion County Historical Society shows a gravestone at Emanuel Lutheran Cemetery, Beaver City, transcribed as "Beals, Isaac, Son of S. & C. Beals." It notes that the grave is near that of Catherine Beals. This child is not noted in any other source that we are aware of. In two trips to this cemetery by E. W. Williams (1991 when stones were less weathered, & 2006 after much undergrowth was cleared away), transcriptions were made of a small stone that reads "''Infant'' son of J & C Beals, died May 21 1860 aged 5 days." This is believed to be a child of Jacob Beals, Jr. and wife Clara. It is wondered if the previous transcriber ( possibly a Girl Scout project for the Historical Society) mistook "Infant Son" for "Isaac Son". The "J" & "C" are faint, easily misread, and the date could be 1850 or 1860. Neither of these dates works well for a child of Samuel & Catherine Beals; they weren't married until 1852, and they had another child born in 1860.
* In the 1900 census wife Elizabeth reports having 6 children, 6 currently living. The Salem Lutheran Cemetery association lists a 7th, Essie, apparently (by order listed) born between 1886 and 1890; infant death. Correspondant/Contributor Duane Beals confirms a daughter Essa, born May or June, 1889.
* Obituary of Samuel Beals in Seneca Kicker: reports erroneously that Samuel Beals was buried at Emanuel Cemetery. Samuel had given land for this cemetery and his first wife Catherine Marsh is buried there, but he was buried with a large gravestone at Knox Cemetery with his 2nd wife Lizzy Leavey.
* Obituary of Clara Reed (daughter of Samuel Beals) says husband was "Charles Beals", but is likely Charles Reed, ie. C.P.Reed. Reporter likely substituted Clare's maiden name, Beals.

===Source Notes===
* Source 1a, 1830 U.S.Federal Census, Shenango Twp., Beaver Co. PA: the family of a Abraham How & wife age 30-40, and 6 children. This fits well with the Abraham Howe in the 1840 census for Armstrong Co, PA and with the 1850 census data showing Abraham, Barbara and Catherine Howe in Clarion Co, PA. Note: Shenango township was in Beaver County until the 1850 creation of Lawrence County.
*Source 1b, 1830 U.S. Federal Census Slippery Rock Twp., Mercer Co. PA: Family of George How & wife with 3 boys & 1 daughter. Slippery Rock Twp. of 1830 Mercer Co. and Shenango Twp. of 1830 Beaver Co. today share a common township line in Lawrence County, created in 1849 from the former border area of Beaver and Mercer counties. The two Howe families could have lived not far apart. A search of property maps of the era or deed records is needed. 
In 1930 Abram Howe was aged about 33 yrs, & this George How was aged 30-40 yrs. With 4 children of 10 years or younger, he was likely in his 30's. He and Abram are of the same generation. Abram's son George could have been named for a family member. The second of 8 children, George could have been the first son. He is likely named for a family member. The relationship of the 1830 George How is unknown. If related, they both could be named for one of an older generation.
* 1850 census PA, Cumberland Co., Dickinson Twp.: Abram Howe age 48, Elizabeth age 39, and 5 children including a Catherine E. age 3. This is not the same person as Abram Howe above, nor could he be his father; no apparent relationship.
* 1850 census, Clarion Co., Porter Twp. for Abram How: note the use of "Abram" & "Barbara" in names of grandchildren (children of [[Anna Catherine Howe]] & [[Henry Kline]]); and the agreement of Anna Catherine's calculated birth year from her 1850 census age of 20 yrs, with her death date (1890) & age (60 yrs).
* Per Robert Beals, of Emlenton, PA & great-grandson of Catherine Howe(interviewed in 1995 by [[Elizabeth Ann Wilson|EWW]] ), Catherine had a brother named '''George Howe''' who owned a coffee company. Catherine's husband, Henry Kline, had a brother who worked there for George for a time. (The 1995 phone book listed a George J. Howe Coffee Co., 629 W. Main St., Grove City, Mercer Co. PA. Whether the intial, "J" , was original or added with a later owner is unknown.
* The History of Clarion Co., 1887, p. xxv, biography of George Howe b. 1823, lists his parents as Abraham & Barbara Howe. Daughter Catherine Howe & husband Henry Kline named one of their sons John Abram Kline, and one of their daughters Barbara; this name repetition supports the belief that the Abraham Howe in this biography is the father of Catherine Howe. If so, the family originated, or was in Huntington County PA for a time.

*'''Venango County Records , Vol. I,1984, Venango Co. Genealogical Club''', Oil City. pg. 18. Miller Farm Cemetery, Oil Creek Twp., Venango Co. "the Miller Farm Cemetery is located within the present Oil Creek State Park & includes a number of pre-oil burials...the cemetery has been badly vandalized & many stones listed below destroyed. This copy made in 1958:
 Emily, dau. of Samuel & Sarah Howe, died July 5, 1843, (age illegible). Rachel, dau. of Samuel & Sarah Howe, died June 10, 1848, aged 9 yr. 4 mo., 7 da. (Note: Samuel & Sarah Howe are also buried here in unmarked graves. Samuel Howe was murdered on his farm near Pioneer in 1879.)"
 Also: Venango County Genealogy Club , Fall 1989, p.5: " Aug. 12, 1878 - Mrs. Sarah Sproul Howe, wife of Samuel Howe, died on Friday night last (Aug. 9). The family are among the oldest residents of the county. Interred at Miller Farm."
 Any relationship of this Samuel Howe to our Abram & Barbara Howe family above or to the George G. & Barbara E. Armstrong family is unknown; the presence of a Samuel Howe in each family was noted.

*1840 census PA, Cumberland Co. Dickinson Twp: Abram How age 40-50; 1F age 30-40; 1F&1M age 10-15; 2M age <5. The male age 40-50 is correct for what we know of our Abram Howe, and the female child age 10-15 is correct for dau. Catherine. The other ages do not match what we know of Barbara, George & Samuel. Does not appear to be the correct family. No known relationship

* There are also a number of How and Howe families in Butler County
*The 1887 History of Clarion Co. indicates that Catherine Howe was born in Huntington Co., PA. The 1820 census for Pennsylvania lists three How(e) families in Huntington Co, headed by Martha Howe, Jacob How, and John How. Only the John How household has a male in the 18-26 range, but the 18-26 yr old is apparently John, the head of household, and thus could not be the father of our Abram Howe.
*There is a William Howe in Sugar Creek Twp, Venango Co, PA in 1820, who has a son in 10-15 yr. range. This is a little young for Abram Howe (who should be ~23 in 1820) but possibly within the error margin for census. We obviously need some additional data. EBW
