CLARK, NEWTON, SCHEFT posted by Claudia Schuman on Sunday, March 1, 1998

I am researching the James CLARK family who came to the US from Gunthorpe, Norfolk County England in 1836, lived in NY for three years, then moved west to Winnebago County, IL. James and Phoebe (NEWTON) CLARK settled in Seward, IL., in 1847. They had the following children: Margaret, John, Elizabeth, Martha, Emily, Robert W., James N., Isaac. B., Franklin M., Newell, D., and Doane O. In 1845, James' two brothers, Samuel and Robert CLARK and their families, and his parents, James and Elizabeth (SCHEFT) CLARK also came to the US and settled in Seward Twp. I have traced the family in Gunthorpe, England to 1747 and have been tracing the descendants of James and Phoebe CLARK to the present. I would like to exchange information with any descendants so they may be added to the database. Some of the other surnames connected to this family are: Bates, Withers, Butts, Hibbard/Hebard, Locke, Coolidge, Anderson, Stewart, Broadie.

Searching for information re: Asher BEACH b. abt 1800, NY. Unknown when he went to IL, but he and his family appear in the 1850 Census in Winnebago Co., IL. (Children are all listed as being born in NY). His wife was Mercy YAW of VT. Their children: David, M. L., W. Henry, Luzetta and Rebecca. Hope someone out there has an Asher or a Mercy in their background and we can share information
AND, ARMER, ASHER, CHAPMAN, CHARLOTTE, DANIEL, DEARINGER, FOSTER, HENRY, JACKSON, MARIE, ORVILLE, SHER, SPAFFORD, VOLNEY posted by C.V. Randall on Saturday, March 14, 1998

Spafford CHAPMAN was one of five brothers, ORVILLE, DANIEL, FOSTER and VOLNEY They were the sons of HENRY DEARINGER AND MARIE ARMER CHAPMAN. They were born in New York and moved to Michigan in the 1840's. HENRY apparently deserted the family and I believe MARIE married a JACKSON. SPAFFORD moved his family to Rockford, Ill. Second wife was CHARLOTTE and he had two boys and a girl. The names I have areAVE, ASHER and SHER. I would appreciate any information on this family.

BETTS, BETZ posted by Billie Leclerc on Wednesday, April 1, 1998

BETZ--My great grandfather's brother born and baptized in Jennerstown, Somerset County, PA 1841-1844, is rumored to have died in New Millford, Winnebago County, Illinois! His name was Emmanuel B. BETZ or maybe BETTS but I have no other information about him or about his life and/or family. Perhaps he has produced offspring who see his name here and know that there is an extended family of 'shirt-tail' relatives who are anxious to learn about him and them! Billie
