In Search Of Levi Simpson dunkards did not believe in taking up arms against another human being. It isquite amazing, that they made it to America, having been kicked across Eurasia http://www.melungeons.com/articles/jun2005.htm
Extractions: Who was Levi Simpson? The photo of him, staring intelligently at a camera, with the walking stick in his hand and his toes on his left foot resting upon a rock, intrigues me and engages my curiosity about his life and times. Levi had this image captured 100 years or more ago. I wonder what he was thinking of while posing there. Early photography took a long time, sometimes 25 minutes or more of standing stock still to capture an image. While standing there, did he speculate upon his many ancestors who might have looked at his image and wonder about him? When he thought upon his family moving through the portals of time, could he have envisioned the ease in which a GGGGrand daughter could sit at her desk and reach back across time? Levi Simpsons children would have DNA from the Johann Nicholas Beckner line, picking most of it up from

German Keithleys Many of these Marian Exiles became Baptist Bretheren (dunkards). Queen Elizabethcame to the throne in 1558 and restored the Church of England, http://www.keathleywebs.com/keathley/german.html
Extractions: In 1792, four German brothers, John, Jacob, Joseph, and Daniel Keithley moved into Bourbon Co, Kentucky. There is some evidence that they were in western North Carolina in the 1780s, and family tradition places them in Pennsylvania at some earlier time. Supporting this is the fact that John was married to a Pennsylvania Dutch woman, Maryanne Riblen, and that the customary migration trail from Pennsylvania would have passed through the western part of North Carolina, and not the east. The Germans left a slim paper trail as they moved westward through Kentucky into Lawrence Co, Indiana about 1810. The existence of a fifth brother, Samuel, has been postulated for years, but no certain evidence has ever surfaced. These people were clearly German, as they read German Bibles and spoke German at home. While it is possible that they originally had roots in Medieval England (see below), it is more likely that they are not real Keithleys at all, but simply adopted the name. Etymologically speaking, there is no history of the name "Keithley" in the Germanic languages. There is evidence, in fact, that these Germans originally spelled their name "Kicheli". Whether that spelling is the Germanization of "Kygheley" (later Keighley), or a completely unrelated name, is not known. If it is unrelated, the use of the modern spelling "Keithley" is probably coincidental.

Said it looked like I wanted Cordia to run off and get married. I didn't know what to do. Me and Ad had both been tight on Cordia, tighter than we were on our own youngons. We never had allowed her to go to any poke suppers or singings or anything like that. Many was the time I had stayed away from things myself just to keep Cordia at home. Of course, Cordia didn't know but what me and Ad were her real pa and ma. I give Effena a death-bed oath that I never would tell. You know, if you tell something a dying person asks you not to tell you will be haunted by that person the rest of your life. Everybody you tell will be haunted too.

Tools By Steve Plautz to Jim Bayuk (Recopied and Edited by Jean Govek from Original) December 23, 1976 WILLARD HISTORY Joe was always trapping, fishing and hunting. He was a great one to drink whiskey and wine. Everyone made wine in those days. My folks always had plenty of wine - also our neighbors. He liked to drink and he could carry a lot before showing any effects of alcohol. He liked the kids, the young boys. He always had a group of boys around him. He and I were good friends. I had to cut poles for him one time, cordwood. Some guy left him holding a store bill, which he couldn't pay; but said he'd give Joe some cordwood. The wood was on land down south of where Mike Krultz lives now. I was out of the eighth grade (March, 1916). George got a team somewhere in Willard to haul the wood back to Willard. It was about four miles one way. Soon after, they left Willard closing the store. I haven't seen them since. Soon Ig Cesnik bought the store when he was the land agent for N. C. Foster Lumber Company. He used to live where Leo Gregorich lives.

Extractions: by Juliann Wetz There are few places in the world where one can drive around and see a community practicing magic. Deep in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, magic is still commonly used in the form of hex signs, thought to ward off bad spirits, bring good luck, invite fertility, and harmonize marriage and family. The vivid colors and symbolic designs dot the Pennsylvania countryside where hundred-year-old traditions are still firmly in place today. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a heavy influx of German and Swiss immigrants settled in the rich farmland of eastern Pennsylvania. The mixture of varied European backgrounds and religions combined to form a community and culture known collectively as Pennsylvania Dutch. They created a lifestyle and folk art now recognized worldwide for its quality and artistry. Quilts, needlepoint, decorative sturdy furniture, and hex signs are just a few of the objects associated with this deeply traditional sect. Decorating barns with hex signs began in the mid-1800s. Prior to the 1830s, paint was expensive and most barns were left unpainted. Now you will see the majority of barns painted a deep red or a clean white, with colorful hex signs drawing from a large collection of German folk designs.

Extractions: TELL TALE EXTRA: Madison Square Garden: Northern Pacific Country - or - From St. Paul to Carrington on .005 cents a mile. St. Paul, Minnesota, September 25, 1930 Mr. F. W. DeGuire: Referring to your request for some information relative to the early day activities of the Immigration Department of the Northern Pacific. I am sure that we got up something like this for someone you referred to us some time ago, but I do not recall his name and can find no record of it. The Immigration activities of the Northern pacific were at first very closely allied with those of the Land Department, in the sale and settlement of railroad lands. Mr. Peter B. Groat was the first General Immigration Agent, coming to the [Northern Pacific] in the [1870s]. He was a veteran of the Civil War. He retired from this work in 1893. The Northern Pacific is credited with being the first railroad in the country to run an exhibit car, carrying products of the country which it served, such as grains, grasses, fruits, minerals, etc., etc., to the sections in the [E]ast and [M]iddle [W]est from which it was desired to secure settlers. This car was operated for several years and was visited by hundreds of thousands of farmers and others who were interested in seeing what the Northwest at that time very largely an unknown territory could produce. That they were satisfied with what they saw is attested by the fact that so many of them decided to cast their lot in the Northwest, where they have made it what it is today.

HOUCK, SR.: Placed in the scrapbook is a copy of a photo that is likely a picture of Joseph and Ann (Williams) Houck. This photo, along with a number of other family photos and documents, was given to Anne Wheeler (Melton) Ross by her father, Jesse Houck Melton, Jr., on his visit to California in 1959. According to Anne, Jesse told her who they were, but she no longer remembers. The picture was made using a photo imaging process called "Daguerrotype". This process was first made public in 1839 in France , and became quite popular in the 1840's and into the 1850's. Daguerrotype was replaced in the late 1850's by a less expensive "Ambrotype" process. Thus, the picture was probably made between 1845-1855.

Extractions: Native-Americans Warfare ... Clothing Late in the seventeenth century Mennonites, Amish, and German Brethren arrived in Pennsylvania, attired in somber colors, with no ruffles, and few buttons or buckles. They were as plain as Quakers; and, like orthodox Quakers, they refused to swear oaths, preferring instead to make affirmation. What marked them as different was their communalism and aloofness. In Europe their refusal to abide by any laws other than the teachings of the New Testament provoked hostility from civil and ecclesiastical authority, but won the admiration of William Penn, and a place in his "holy experiment" on the Delaware. The inner light of the Friends dimmed, however, when it became clear the newcomers didn't intend to blend in. Their reluctance to learn English stirred xenophobia even in so-called enlightened men like Franklin. Few English differentiated between Swiss, Palatines, or Alsatians. To unsophisticated Britons anyone unable to speak English or who spoke it with non-British accents was immediately labeled "Deutsch" or plain "Dutch." Such bigotry only confirmed these immigrants' belief that all earthly government was illegitimate, and turned their eyes to the frontier where woods-faring Finns and Swedes tended hills of Indian corn among the stumps around their log homes, and shot their half-wild hogs like game in the woods.

Extractions: In 1824 an Association called the Liberty was organized in Kentucky, composed of churches holding Arminian views, but practising strict communion. In 1830 they adopted the practice of open communion, and in so revised their articles of faith as to make them nore unmistakably Arminian. Churches of this order were rapidly organized in the neighboring States, especially Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri, and everywhere bore the name of General Baptists. The connection of this body with those of the same name in England is shadowy, if not impossible to trace. In 1870 a General Association was formed that represents three hundred and ninety-nine churches in seven Western and Southern States, with a membership of twenty-one thousand three hundred and sixty-two. The Baptist Church of Christ seems to have originated in Tennessee, where the oldest organizations were formed in 1808, and where more than half the membership is still found. From this center they have spread to six other States, and in 1890 had one hundred and fifty-two churches and eight thousand two hundred and fifty-four members. They are mildly Calvinistic and practise feet-washing. The River Brethren, probably of Mennonite origin, settled in eastern Pennsylvania, near the Susquehanna River, about 1750; from their baptizing in that river they gained their name. They practise trifle immersion and feet-washing; and in the doctrines of non-resistance and non-conformity to the world they resemble the Friends as well as the Mennonites. There are flow three divisions of the River Brethren. In 1890 there were one hundred and eleven churches and three thousand four hundred and twenty-seven members, and they have spread from Pennsylvania into eight other States.
