junior. J. T. (jr) m. Edna May Williams

please let me know. thanks Joan

My husband is a Vancil. His family came from Union Co. also. His grandfather was James Vancil- died in Tulsa. He believes his greatgrandfather was Edmund Vancil which should be a decendant of Jonathan Vancil. We have info here but too late to get it out tonight.

As far as I know I cannot connect your Mary Vancil, married to J.T. Coleman to my Mary Vancil. Sorry. If I find anything new I will be sure to let you know.

My g-g-g-g-g-grandfather was Adam Vancil. He had a brother named Edmund and their father was Johnathan. This sounds like it could be a match. I don't have very much info on the Vancils but would be happy to share what I have with you. Contact me at Brashertlm@juno.com if you are interested. Lynele

Dorothy,
I have a little info on the Vancils from Union Co. IL. Adam, the last son of Johnathan Vancil, is my g-g-g-g-g grandfather. I believe that Adam and Jonas were brothers. I don't have a lot of info but what I do have I would be more than happy to share with you. I am interested in getting more info on this line of my family. Anything you could share with me would be greatly appreciated. You can contact me through my e-mail Brashertlm@juno.com
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. Hope to hear from you soon. Lynele

My maternal grandfather was William Vancil and lived in Benton, Illinois until he died in the late 40's or early 50's. I dont know if this will be of any value to you or not but would like to know if there is a relationship. I believe his family was also from Germany originally. Please feel free to contact me at my listed email address.

Dorothy, Jonathan Vancil is my gggggrandfather. You mentioned Jonas was the 4 son of Jonathan. According to my records he is the 5th son. There was Tobias (1769), Daniel (1770), Samuel (1771), John Jr (1773) and then Jonas (1775). Followed were Mary, Elias, Edmond, Catherine, Isaac and Adam. Jonathan is the son of William Vancil-Wentzel of Hessen Hanua, Germany born 1703. Have more info but need info also. Jennifer

Looking for John Dawson Vancil, b 1824, Tazewell,Il, son of John M. Vancil. All his Civil War docs state this is so. But I cannot find him on the census or other fed/state docs. Need help.

Anyone needing information on the Vancils or
especially on the Edmund lineage I might be
able to help. There were three Edmunds,
beginning with the first (John's son) born
in Somerset, Pennsylvania. The third son,
born in Union County, Illinois was my great
grandfather.

my husband is harley vancil jr. his greatgrandfather was edmund from union co., il. his grandfather was james vancil from il.
maybe this helps you too.

Charlotte Vancil, sister of Edmund III was
my great grandmother. She married
George McGhehey and they moved to Lawrence Countyunty Arkansas. Some of the McGhehey
family still live on the family farm.
George was a judge in Black Rock and buried
his first grandchild there. He also donated
the cemetery to the town. Would love to
collaborate with you.

Jennifer and Dorothy

Jonathan Vancil was my ggggggrandfather. My research shows John Jr. born 8 August 1776 in Pennsylvania.

Jack

I believe that your ggrandfather, Edmund was my gggrandmother's brother. Her name was Sara Jane Vancil, born 10 October 1840 in Union County IL. Her Father was Edmund D. Vancil born 7 February, 1802, in Virginia. I do not know to whom he married. Might you have the information? His father was John Vancil born 8 August, 1776 in Pennsylvania. He married Eve Weddle. John's father was Jonathan Vancil. Born about 1745. Do you know more?

Jane
John Vancil Jr. was brother of my ancestor,
Edmund. John was born 7/8/1773 and Edmund
2/7/1783, both in the region of Somerset, Pa.
John had a son named Edmond D. Edmund also
named a son "Edmund" (b. 1812) and this Edmund's
son (b. 1842)was my great grandfather (he is
buried in Piggott, Ark.). There is very interesting
material on Vancil (Wencil, Wensel) in the "History
of Bedford and Somerset Counties" (Pennsylvania).
John Vancil had close association with Herman
Husbands, an early revolutionary. For more
information please contact me.
Jack Vancil

Jennifer, I have the same information you do
on the William Vancil (Wentzel) family. I
have him married to Mary Penrod. Do you have
more info on the Penrod family? Contact me at
Chambers-Toni@Bigfoot.com
Thanks - Toni

I am trying to find information on a Paul Vancil or a eugene Vancil.My Grandfather was Paul and eugene was his brother.I am just starting on this.Any info would be helpful.
Thanks Sherri

My husbands Great Grandmother was Susannah Vancil
who married Francis Marion Underwood, in Union Co
IL, Rachel Landreth Vancil Halloway was her mther.
The Wentzel Line is from Palentine Germany and Jonatan
Wentzel was in the Sons of Liberty and had a price on his head
by Gov Tryon. A Mr Doty has written a wonderful book on the family.
I have much information on Edmonds line and a Lady here in Portland was qutie abit on
the other line.
Bev.

Jack do you have Photos?
I have some of the Underwood line in Union Co
and Clay Co AR. But none of Vancils/

Have you been in contact with June Williams in
Piggott?
Bev

Beverly Underwood,
No, Beverly, I do not have photos except of
property in Virginia which the Vancils owned. I
have not been in contact with June Williams
for several years. Somerset County, PA has an
interesting web site; under "History" they men-
tion "Vensel" and "Penrod." Also there's a
picture of Herman Husband's house. Vancil
sold property to Husband. I don't know if
this house is located on that same property.
Both Vancil, Penrod, and Husband were all
brought up on charges for rebellion against
King George. You can contact me:

John Eva reportedly moved to family moved to Illinois, probably bef 1810 as they are not noted in Virginia. If anyone comes across a connection to the Virginia Vancil/Vancel/Vansel, please let me know. Thanks.

I am researching the Rhea (Ray) family of Morgan Co. IL. Rhoda Rhea married Adam Vancil
Jan 25, 1848 in Morgan Co. IL. I suspect he had been married before.

I also have a listing from Illinois Public Land Purchase Records.

Adam Vancil Federal Land Section NEDSIC sect. 36, Township 11S Range 02W Meridian 3, Acres 16,000 Price 200, Total 32,000 August 18,1817

Also have a listing from Illinois Census 1810-90

This is the only listing for Adam Vancil.

I am trying to find out when Adam Vancil died and what happened to Rhoda.

Pat

Is there a John Vancel in Morgan Co., Illinios in 1850? Or a close county? If he's there, it's a good possibility they are related maybe father/son. "Adam" is common given name of the VA Vancel's. Otherwise, can't help you any further. Sorry.

1745 to 1815-1817 children 1.tobias?2.john?
3.edmund? 4.catherine? 5.adam? darrell

I believe we have a match, however, along with Tobias, Johnathan, Edmond, Catherine, and Adam I also have listed as children: Daniel, Samuel, Jonas, Mary, Elias, and Isaac. I don't know very much about this family line, and I'm not sure if what I have is correct. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i show jonathan on powell gedcom: page 769 as having several children,about 11 but as many as 6 of those are duplicated as children of john vancil and eve weddle with birdays from 1796 to 1813. jonathan children birthdays show dates of 1769 to 1785. does any of this make sense. did jonathan have a son with the spelling of johnathan? darrell

I just learned that Edmond D. was my GGGGrandfather. His son Allen, then his son John Allen on down to my grandfather still living at 90 years old in Goreville, Johnson Co. Il.

Hi! Your Rachel is a sister to Jonathan Landreth who is the Father of my lineage in Jonesboro, Illinois. They settled in Union County. I am a Landreth and have recently started tracing that side of the family. The Vancel Landreths, I think are from Benjamin LandrethWho is Rachel's grandfather, great-grandfather, etc? I have traced such names as Jedidiah Baxter Landreth and Oliver Landreth who came from Northumberrland Scotland. Soed this sound correct? I have that McKindley Downs married a Thomas and then Jedidiah and came to VA from North England. Wonder if this is just a mistake. Anyway, it was nice to communicate with someone from my direct area. Good luck and reply if you have time. Thanks cousin??? Who knows. Pam

looking for the family of john vancil who was married to nancy wadkins in jackson co. il. john had a daughter ellen who was married to a sanson or sansom and then to lewis davis in 1883. she had a son named noah.

Hi Dorothy,
My grandfather was Herman Oscar Vancil from Williamson County IL. He had a lot of stories about his family...including a Jonas. Also an Isaac. He also said there was a family settlement around Herrin,IL named "Vancil Bend". Does any of that sound familiar to you?

The information I have is from the Latter Day Saints. This information lists a John Vancil being born to an Edmond Vancil that was born in Prussia about 1725 and died June 15,1815 in Montgomery, Virginia. No mothers name is recorded. John Vancil was born 1747 in Patrick, Virginia and died 1817 in the same town. He married a Mary Penrod on May 17, 1768 in Maryland. This is were I believe our information matches. They had 11 children.

I am a Vancil from Piggott, Arkansas. I just started trying to find my ancestors and discovered that Edmund is my GGGG grandfather. I am the daughter of Dallas Vancil, son of George Washington Vancil.
I was at the cemetery in Piggott a couple of weeks ago, but at that time I didn't know to look for Edmund. I will be going back to Piggott in the future and plan to look for his gravesite.
