Re: DAR look up Henry Rhodes

sross2160 — 2009-11-09 18:11:44Z

Hi Glen,
I just read your june comments. I am interested in this same Henry Rhodes.
I noticed you said the Chester County Henry Rhodes also died in Chester County. Do you know of any records that document this?
The only two items I have found aside from family lore and the DAR data are: the 1950 book by Ethelclaire Smith (that documents a Henry Rhodes moving from the Philadelphia region to Smithon PA in 1799-1800), and Henry Rhodes tombstone at Smithton.

Thanks
Steve

Re: DAR lookup - Henry PERINE of Staten Island

captcarole — 2009-10-20 13:23:47Z

Thanks so much, Marria.

Here is what I've collected on Henry Perine / Perrin ["the Patriot"]:

Henry Perine "the Patriot" is accepted as such by the DAR for membership.*
He was Supervisor of the Town of Westfield, Staten Island, from 1774 to 1783.

*From a DAR application by Judy Jo Failing, memb. # 448006:

"The History of Calhoun County, Mich. Vol. II page 1342, by the Hon. Washington Gardner; pub. The Lewis Publ. Co., Chicago & New York, 1913.

'....Henry Perine, born in 1730, was the patriot supervisor of the town of Westfield, Staten Island, from 1774 to 1783. Henry Perine took an active part as a member of the Whig County Committee and sided in the organization of the patriots of his neighborhood into militia companies, thus risking life and property, especially during the period when the British troops seized and endeavored to keep the island under martial law. After their departure he lived a respected and beloved citizen of Westfield until his death in 1788.'"

He is listed under PERRIN in the DAR Patriot Index:
PERRIN, Henry
Birth: NY 1730
Service: NY
Rank: CS PS [Civil Service / Patriotic Service] [The CS means he did some kind of Civil Service, such as Judge, fenceviewer, etc. - i.e. some kind of civil job; the PS means Patriotic Service - gave money, food, cows, horses, etc.]
Death: NY 6- -1788
Patriot Pensioned: No Widow Pensioned: No
Children Pensioned: No Heirs Pensioned: No
Spouse: (1) Susanna Cole

I am related through his son, Edward Perine (1758-1836)[m. Sarah Hillyard, then Patience Mesereau], and then Edward's son Henry Perine (1786-1841)[m. Sarah Stillwell]

Re: DAR lookup - Henry PERINE of Staten Island

MarriaB — 2009-10-20 03:33:33Z

Hi, Carole-

I am the next scheduled DAR VIS Volunteer. We take turns at providing coverage for the Patriot Index. The Volunteer who looked up your Patriot did a good job with our on-line Patriot Index. However, some names can be “tricky” due to alternate spelling patterns. I own the 3 volume hard cover book set of the Patriot Index. I went page by page through the “P”s and found your Patriot. The information below is what is listed in the Patriot Index:

PERRIN, HENRY
Service: New York
Rank(s): Civil Service, Patriotic Service
Birth: 1730 Staten Island Richmond Co. New York
Death: 6—1788 Staten Island Richmond Co. New York
Married: Susannah Cole
Service Description: 1) Supervisor of Westfield
2) Mem of Co. Comm., Westfield Richmond Co.

If you would like a record copy of an application with Henry Perrin as the ancestor, you can order it by sending the above information and a check payable to: Treasurer General NSDAR for $10. MAIL all to: Library Copy Services, DAR, 1776 D Street NW, Washington, DC 20006-5303.

If the child of the Patriot ancestor is known, you can request the record copy through their name, but be sure to state that Henry Perrin is the Patriot. One request and check per envelope and allow 4-6 weeks as this DAR Office is very busy.

A record copy will provide more details such as specific service, dates of birth, death and marriage of the patriot and descendants to the applicant, and sources of proofs.

If you or any other descendant of Henry Perrin are interested in membership in the DAR or SAR, please let me know and I will have a local chapter contact you.

If we can look up anyone else for you, please let us know.

Sincerely,
Marria Blinn

Unfortunately, no records were found in the Patriot Index for Isaac Hawk, born c1735. This does not mean he did not serve; it only means no one has joined the DAR using his Revolutionary War service for membership verification.

If we can assist further let us know!

If this John is your John, you are in business! There have been 13 women enter DAR on this man and his service, one quite recently. The majority entered through John's son John, with a handful through his daughter, Rachel. You can order copies of the application paper which most closely mirrors your own lineage. The cost is $10. Write a letter to the DAR Library, Record Copy Services and include a check for $10 made to Treasurer General NSDAR. The address is 1776 D Street, NW, Washington, DC, 20006-5303. Include in your cover letter the information on this John as above and provide the first three generations removed from John. The staff will try and most closely match your request with the previous applicants. That application should provide you with a list of documentation that woman provided so that you might recreate the same sources and it will provide you the service information, wife and children of that ancestor, as well as the lineage of that particular member.

There are DAR chapters throughout the country and overseas. If you are interested in joining where you live, go to our website at www.dar.org and follow the links for Membership, then "Contact Us" about half way down the following page. There is a fillable form for you to complete. That form, when completed, will automatically be sent to the membership chairman in the state of your residence, then passed on to a chapter most local to you. If you are not contacted within three weeks, submit the form again.

Good luck on your quest for membership. If I can answer any questions about membership specificially, don't hesitate to contact this board again.

This does not mean that he wasn't in the Revolution. It only means that no one has yet used his name for application into the DAR.

Re: Trying to determine Thomas Dixon

JANDOWNING — 2009-10-17 11:49:46Z

Hi:

In the database that we can access, it does not show all of the children of a patriot, only the children through which members have joined and in this case they are Lydia, David and Abigail. It is a question on the application to include all the children of the patriot, so it might be worth getting a copy of the most recent application to see if Moses is included.

You may obtain a copy of the DAR application by sending a check for $10.00 payable to Treasurer General NSDAR. Provide the patriot information and if you know the child of the Patriot through whom descent is claimed, provide that also. Mail the check along with the information to:

Library Copy Services
1776 D Street NW
Washington, DC 20006-5303.

Requests for record copies may take four to six weeks, as they are very busy.

If anyone in your family is interested in DAR/SAR membership, each chapter has members who will assist you in connecting to your Revolutionary Patriot. If you would like more information about joining or finding a chapter in your area, please let me know.

Hope this helps and if we can help you again, please feel free to contact us.

Re: William Purdy, Frederick County, Maryland

KittyC99 — 2009-10-07 20:22:06Z

I have in front of me the division of William Purdy's estate which names John Mark and Amelia his wife as receiving $183.75. Then it later lists Geo. Mark and Cynthia his wife who also receive $183.75, it being an equal portion.

BTW, "Marriage Licenses of Frederick County Maryland 1811-1840" [ed. by Margaret E. Myers] lists the marriage of Nimrod Mark to Isabella Haislup dated 18 Jul 1836.

Have no idea if your lineage is correct as I was busy following the Norwood line. But hope this info helps.

Re: DAR lookup request for John Wimp

Hi Mary,
Yes this is the correct person. My problem is linking John Wimp Sr to his son Jesse Wimp Sr. John had several children, John Jr and Rachel being two others. I am having the hardest time finding some kind of legal paper such as a will or land deed or baptism or birth certificate with Both John Wimp and his son Jesse Wimp together to link them. I know they are related but proving it is another thing. I have ordered copies of three DAR applications of people who have gone under John or Rachel that mention Jesse as a brother but I do not know if this is considered good enough proof to the DAR people. Do you have any other ideas as to how I might do this? Appreciate your help. I am connected to a local chapter of the DAR and they have been very helpful.
Thank you for your time.

Patricia, thanks for checking the DAR Message Board.
I'm sorry that a James Jennings from New Jersey is not listed in the DAR Patriot Index. This does not necessarly mean that he was not a Patriot. It only means that a DAR member has not proven him.
It would be great if you could honor your Patriot by proving him. Your James would have been the correct age to have been a Patriot.

If you or someone in your family is interested in becoming a DAR member, please let us know and we can put you in touch with a chapter near you. Each chapter has someone who can assist you with your lineage research.

Re: DAR lookup - Henry PERINE of Staten Island

I never heard that about Henry fleeing to NJ, though that makes perfect sense! I did know that he was Supervisor of Westfield SI. Can you please continue to write to me at my regular email address? captcarole@aol.com

Thank you~

Re: DAR lookup - Henry PERINE of Staten Island

captcarole — 2009-10-20 01:45:52Z

I did join the DAR, along with my mother and my cousins, based on Henry Perine of Westfield, SI. I am mystified why his name cannot be found on the patriot list by Kay. Another person told me he was a patriot due to his acts done while in civilian status.

I can trace my lineage back to him, and to the original Daniel Perrin, "the Huguenot".

My later Perine [female] married a VanBunschoten man, and thus lost the name in our family.

How are you connected?

Thank you in advance~

Re: DAR lookup - Henry PERINE of Staten Island

psperine — 2009-10-20 02:40:45Z

Good Evening!
I too trace back to Daniel!
Henry is my seventh generation Grand Father. The person that told you that his patriot status was earned as a civilian is patially correct. I believe that he was a Supervisor or Commissioner of some sort in Rihmond Township and fled to NJ during the British occupation.
According to my Great Uncles research ( I used his SAR App to complete mine) Henry then served as a Private in a NJ Militia. Records for Militia service can be hard to come by as Militias were called up for short periods and unless the Patriot applied for a pension for service documentation can be hard to come by. Henry died shortly after the war and I have never been able to find a pension record for him or, as his surviving Widow, Suzanna.
Cheers!

Hi,

A search of our DAR Patriot Index did not produce a listing for your Adam Blatt. I also checked a couple of alternative spellings.

I found Elizabeth Blatt, married to Adam Mengel, b 9-9-1752, d 3-18-1842. Adam Mengel was a private who served in PA. This might be a source you want to pursue.

This does not mean that your ancestors did not serve in some capacity during the American Revolution. It simply means that no one has joined the DAR using them as their patriot.

If there is any other information we can find for you, please let us know.

Since someone has established membership in the NSDAR through him, you may obtain a copy of the DAR application by sending a check for $10.00 payable to Treasurer General NSDAR. Provide the patriot information and if you know the child of the Patriot through whom descent is claimed, provide that also. Mail the check along with the information to:

DianaWatson70 — 2009-09-24 04:20:31Z

Hi,

A search of our DAR Patriot Index did not produce a listing for your Durst Fister. I also checked a couple of alternative spellings, and came up with the following:

FEASTER, DURST Service: PENNSYLVANIA Rank: PATRIOTIC SERVICE Birth: (ANTE) 1738 SWITZERLAND Death: (POST) 3-12-1801 READING BERKS CO PENNSYLVANIA Service Description:

This may help you, or it may not be who you are looking for.

This does not mean that your ancestors did not serve in some capacity during the American Revolution. It simply means that no one has joined the DAR using them as their patriot.

If there is anything else you would like us to look up, please let us know.

Hi Anne,

Usually this means that there was a problem with a previous application. It just means that you would have to prove your descent back to the ancestor. You can still request a record copy of the application of that ancestor.

look-up request

luvs2dance4 — 2009-09-25 03:48:29Z

Searching for info on (Johan) Mathias Trarbach/Trobaugh; b. 5 Jan. 1739 in Wahlenau, GE to Johan Michael & Maria Elisabetha (Hermann) Trarbach. Arrived in Philadelphia on 9 Sept. 1751. Reported to have served in the R.V. War from York Co., PA. Thank you for any information/assistance.

Re: look-up request

luvs2dance4 — 2009-09-28 04:09:47Z

Oh, there are many, many variations of the surname unfortunately. Some other spellings include, but are not limited to: Trorbaugh; Drobaugh; Trorbach; Trorebach. From the translated christening records from Germany: Johannes Mathaeus Trarbach was b. 5 January 1739 in Wahlenau, GE.

Re: William Purdy, Frederick County, Maryland

We are having a interfamily discussion about Cynthia Purdy and George Mark. A older researcher insists that Cynthia Purdy married John Mark but we have found at least one place the marrige of Cynthia Purdy and George Mark. We believe we are descended from this couple through their son, Nimrod Mark, who married Isabella Haslup. I sent for film from the FHC in Salt Lake City but when it came, the marriage of these two people was not on it. I just would like to know whether these people are the parents of Nimrod Mark? Nimrod and Isabella had a daughter, Cynthia Ann, who married Horace Marshall McLearen in Fauquier Couonty, VA. They had 12 children, among whom was my grandmother, Lillian Estell McLearen. Is this the correct lineage or do you know? I cannot seem to find out any more than what you see posted on the website about William Purdy and who this Patriot's children were. Any info that you have would be helpful.

Thanks for the info about the estate. I have never seen that before but have seen a list of William Purdy's children in another legal document in which it lists Cynthia wife of George Mark. I have seen the marriage record of Nimrod Mark and Isabella Haslup, too. We have been able to trace the Haslup family back quite a ways. We had gotten stuck on the Purdy/Mark line. Thanks for your help.
