4776 LKH note:
need more information to confirm, but this is very likely Francis' obituary.

Francis Stucky of Mahomet died suddenly Thursday morning at his home from heart failure. He arose and went to the kitchen to start the fire when he fell to the floor and expired immediately. He was a brother of Mrs. Rachel Harland of this place and well known here, having worked in this vicinity for a number of years.
Farmer City Journal, Farmer City, Illinois. Friday, 26 march 1920, page 3.

LKH note:

LKH note:
In the 1920 census, Francis M. Stuckk, age 50, married, is in the household of his widowed mother Margaret Stucky, age 72, in Mahomet, Champaign County, Illinois.

Note for Ricard Hoagland, Captain. 1723-1776
Genenealogical Nickname: Bedford Richard. (Curt Sytsma note: The descendants of Jacobus Jansen Hoagland included many individuals with the same name. Like other genealogists before me, therefore, I have sometimes assigned nicknames to facilitate reference).
1750 SURVEY. "Berkeley County. . . . Mr. DAVID ROSS of Maryland & Company, forfeited from Nathaniel Peak; no war't, dates from surv. 18 Feb. 1749/50 - first surv'd by Broadwater in 1749/50 & resurv'd 2 May 1767; 98 a. ca. 2 miles below Back Cr'k on Poto. & W. side North Mt. Near Packs Den; adj. in 1st surv. Cobus Hogaland, Richard Hogaland, James Cue & Nathaniel Peak. Surv. Guy Broadwater. 2nd surv. Adj. John Hood, Barnett Newkirk. CC - Tunis Newkirk & Joshua Lewis. Marker - Nathaniel Scritchfield. Present - Col. Samuel Bell & Tunis Hood. Surv. Richard Rigg." SOURCE: Peggy Shomo Joyner, compiler, Abstracts of Virginia's Northern Neck Warrants & Surveys, Volume IV (Hampshire, Berkeley, etc. 1697-1784) (Peggy Shomo Joyner: Portsmouth, Virginia 1987) at page 92. Curt Sytsma notes: (1) The survey by Guy Broadwater dated February 18, 1749/50 is consistent with other evidence that the homestead of Jacobus Jansen Hoagland was located on the Potomac River north of North Mountain and that it was near the lands of Barent Newkirk and John Hood. (2) It affirmatively appears that Richard Hoagland, eldest son of Jacobus, was of an age to own property in 1750 and that he had secured property near his father. (3) The second survey seems to confirm that both Richard and Cobus Hoagland had left their lands by May 2, 1767; this information is consistent with the removal of Richard to lands further west prior to May 2, 1767.
1760 FERRY. "Hogland Overseer of a Road. Henry Hogland is appointed Overseer of the road from Richard Hoglands Ferry to go by John Hoglands Mill to Capt. Thomas Catons and it is Ordered that the Tithables three miles on each side of the said road open & keep the same in repair according to law." SOURCE: Frederick County Virginia, County Court, Order Book, Volume 9, Page 101 (entries dated August 5, 1760), transcribed by Curt L. Sytsma on July 29, 2003, from a photocopy of the original; the photocopy was secured by Margaret Foster during a visit to the LDS Library in June of 2003. The record is stored on 35 mm microfilm reels, and the LDS reference is FHL US/CAN Film 31419. "August 5, 1760. Frederick County, Virginia. Court Records Book 9, page 101. Henry Hoagland appointed overseer of road from Richard Hogland's Ferry to to go by John Hogland's Mill to Capt. Thomas Caton's and it is ordered that the tithables three miles on each side of the said road open and keep the same in repair according to law." SOURCE: Genealogical Research Notes by Joann Hoagland, Silver City, New Mexico, grannejo@zianet.com, shared with Curt Sytsma by cover letter dated July 10, 1995.
A NARROW ESCAPE. "Richard Hoagland lived within 600 yards of Fort Forman on Fairfax Lot No 23. One day during the Indian troubles, he went out to look for a stray cow. This animal carried a bell around her neck so that she might be more easily located in the woods. Having proceeded some distance, Hoagland heard the bell but something about its tone made him suspicious, for it wasn't tinkling in the same manner it would have been had it been attached to the cow's neck. Hoagland then climbed a ridge and circled into a hollow above the sound. He soon discovered an Indian reach out and shake a small sapling on which he had tied the bell. The savage rang the bell at intervals until he finally exposed himself so as to give Hoagland the opportunity for a clear shot. At the crack of the rifle, the Indian pitched over dead, and at the same time, another Indian in hiding nearby jumped up and ran off, which was a fortunate circumstance for Hoagland as his rifle was then unloaded and he would have been at the mercy of the second Indian." SOURCE: Fort Forman, in William H. Ansel, Frontier Forts Along the Potomac and its Tributaries, downloaded from the following site on March 10, 2003: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvminera/foreman.htm. CURT SYTSMA NOTES: (1) According to the same source, "[Fort Forman] was situate on the east side of the South Branch River in what is now Hampshire County, WV, less than one mile south of Hanging Rocks. Fort Williams was a near neighbor two and one-half miles to the north, while Fort Pearsall at present Romney was only three miles to the south. It was constructed in early 1755 on Lot No 25 of the Fairfax South Branch River survey, the property having been conveyed to Benjamin Forman by Thomas Lord Fairfax on the eighteenth day of August, 1749." (2) Work with other land records is necessary to secure an approximate date that the incident took place.
1762 SALE OF LAND. "August 12, 1762. Richard Hougland and wife Elizabeth of Frederick County, Virginia sell (by lease and release) to John Foxman of Hampshire County Lot No. 23, 260 acres on South Branch. Recorded November 10, 1762. Witnesses: Gabriel Jones, Phill Ross, Abraham Hite, Sam Dew." SOURCE: Alphabetical Index of Deeds, Leases, Morgages, and Other Instruments, in Clara McCormack Sage & Laura Sage Jones, Early Records of Hampshire County Virginia (Delavan, Wisconsin 1939) at page 27. Curt Sytsma notes: There is a possibility that "Foxman" is a typo for "Forman."
1767 AWARD FOR VALOR. "Friday, the 20th of March, 7 Geo. III. 1767. Mr. Bland, from the Committee of Propositions and Grievances, reported, That the Committee had had under their Consideration, the Petition of Thomas Buford, and other Officers, who served as Voluntiers, from this Colony, under Col. Bouquet, in an Expedition against the Shawanese and Delaware Indians, to them referred, and had come to following Resolutions thereupon; which he read in his Place, and then delivered in at the Table, where it was again twice read, and agreed to by the House, as follows:
"Resolved, that the said Thomas Buford, John Field, Hankerson Read, James Cowherd, Thomas Chizem, Richard Hougland, Henry Hougland, James Colvin, Hugh Stevenson, Philip Ross, Isaac Cox, and Philip Barber, be allowed the Sum of 40 pounds each, as an Acknowledgment of their Merit, and the extraordinary Service they rendered to this Colony by their gallant Behavior on the said Expedition, but not as Pay, they being not intitled thereto, as they were not appointed to the said Service by the Directions of the General Assembly: And that the further Sum of 40 pounds be allowed the said Thomas Buford, as a Compensation for the Expence, and in Reward of his extraordinary Care and Humanity, in bringing in, and delivering to, their respective Parents, the Captives belonging to this Colony.
"Ordered, That it be an Instruction to the Committee of Claims, to make an Allowance, in the Book of Claims, agreeable to said Resolution." SOURCE: John Pendleton Kennedy, Editor, Journal of the House of Burgesses of Virginia 1766-1769 (Richmond, Virginia 1906) at pages 87-88.
1770 DEED. "1770. 11 Dec. Va. Berkeley Co. rec. John Hood sells to Richard Hoagland part of orig. 1175 ac." SOURCE: Genealogical Research Notes by Joann Hoagland, Silver City, New Mexico, grannejo@zianet.com, shared with Curt Sytsma by cover letter dated July 10, 1995.
1770 DEED. "1770. For 75 pounds paid by Jacobus, now deceased father of Richard Hoagland, to R Lean of Botetourt Co. R Lean deed to Richard of Hampshire County land in Frederick Co. on the west side of the Sherrando and Opechon Creek on the Congoruto River next to B. Newkirk's. Granted R Lean by John Hood 1737, part of 1125 acres acquired 1735. 1771 wit: Edw McGuire, Bryan Bruin, Alexr White, Peter Hogg. Lease 5 sch, Rel 75 pounds." SOURCE: Genealogical Research Notes by Joann Hoagland, Silver City, New Mexico, grannejo@zianet.com, shared with Curt Sytsma by cover letter dated July 10, 1995.

1772 DEED. "Found in the court records of old Berkeley, Virginia (now West Virginia), is record of a deed by Richard Hougland (Hogeland) and wife Elizabeth, to John Boyd conveying 1,175 acres of land on west side of Tuliasis branch, Berkely County, Virginia, said land having been originally granted to John Hood, November 12, 1735, and acquired by Hougland December 11, 1770. There is some inconsistency here as to the actual number of acres acquired by Hougland . . . ." SOURCE: Dellmann O. Hood, The Tunis Hood Family: Its Lineage and Traditions (Metropolitan Press: Portland, Oregon 1960) at page 103. Curt Sytsma notes: Although Mr. Hood does not identify the year of the deed to Boyd, the chronological summaries sent to me by Joann Hoagland-Oldham on July 10, 1995 contain the following entry: "1772. Va. Fredr. Co. Richard of Bedford Pa. sells to John Boyd of Berkeley, Va."

1772 TAX LIST. "Brother's Valley Taxables, &c. 1772 . . . . Hoagland, Richard, 350 acres, 71 improved, 2 horses, 2 cows. . . . Then follows the names of those who are presumed to be single men: . . . . James Hogland. . . . The 350 taxables contained [Bedford Township, Colerain Township, Cumberland Valley Township, and Brother's Valley Township] were the first settlers of Bedford and Somerset counties." SOURCE: Jean S. Morris, 1772 Bedford County Tax Lists, Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Society Quarterly, Volume 14, number 1, Summer 1987 at pages 31, 35, 36, & 37. Curt Sytsma notes: (1) "The settlement of Mother Bedford affects all of us concerned with the early residents in western Pennsylvania, for, in [1772], Bedford County encompassed all of western Pennsylvania. . . . Brother's Valley township embraced all of that part of Somerset county lying west of the Allegheny moutains and northward to the Conemaugh river." Id. at 31. (2) The listing of 71 improved acres compares very favorably with the other listings for Brother's Valley township; the next highest listing of improved acres is 12. We may surmize that Richard Hoagland was one of the first of the first to settle here. (3) We may assume that James Hogland was 21 or older in 1772, and that, therefore, he was born in or before 1751.
1773 JUSTICE OF THE PEACE. "Richard Hoagland lived on land tying on both sides of the Braddock road, and in 1772 had seventy-one acres of improved land, which of itself indicates a residence of some years, because the bringing of such an amount of land under cultivation could not at that time have been accomplished in much less than a half dozen years. Richard Hoagland was commissioned a justice of the peace in 1773, being the second one in what is now Somerset county."

1776 WILL. "March 25, 1776. Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Richard Hoagland makes will, weak in body. Executors: William Foreman & John Reed. Beneficiaries: Wife Elizabeth, grey horse.

Gritton, Laura B. (I3036)
 
4789 LKH note:
There are two children buried in the Cline/Milner Cemetery that have a high probability of being two children of Mary and John Bonnett.

Currently they are labeled with the surname of Bonned, but the photo of the headstone could be read as Bonnett instead.

However, their dates of death and ages at death are too close together and therefore problematic for being the children of the same parents.

4800 LKH note: Ethel Grimes Turner's death certificate names her father, Samuel Grimes, but the mother's name is written as unknown. Her birthdate in 1884 and her entry in the 1900 US census in Samuel Grimes household would indicate that her mother was May (Cline) Grimes. Grimes, Ethel (I2885)
