| 651 | This information was from a web source at: http://cs.fit.edu/~ryan/genealogy/freud.html and http://cs.fit.edu/~ryan/genealogy/sz.html The first URL referenced images of two pages from a church death register in Freudenberg, Germany that also had notes referring to a list of individuals and families who left for the colony of Georgia (almost certainly Virginia though - for these were members of the growing Germanna Colony in Virginia). The image links at the first URL are now broken links but I was able to retrieve both images with the assistance of the WayBack Machine at Archive.org. According to the information on the first and second URL, these are images of notes written by a Protestant pastor in church records; possibly from a church in Freudenberg but the content of the pages is lacking any absolute citation. | Bach, Hermann (I772)
|
| 652 | This is one of those cases where the date of birth seems to vary with every record. The birth and death dates here are based upon the photo of Elizabeth's headstone in Botts Cemetery near Denniston, Menifee County, Kentucky. | Wells, Elizabeth (I2747)
|
| 653 | This marriage may also have been included in a publishing of the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography. | Family F1070
|
| 654 | This marriage may have taken place in Frederick County, Virginia | Family F1149
|
| 655 | This marriage probably took place in Spotsylvania County, Virginia where both lived. | Family F1030
|
| 656 | This name comes from an 1852 Death Record of Sarah Smith in Bath County, Kentucky. The full name given on the record is "Ann Parsons". Other researchers indicate that Sarah Smith was married twice, first to a Turner and then to a William Smith. If correct, then Sarah Smith's father's surname was parsons and Ann's married name was Parsons. | Ann (I4030)
|
| 657 | This pension file is huge; literally hundreds of pages of legal-size documents printed on both sides. It is not feasable to post the entire document. A few of the highly relevant documents will be posted as they are scanned. | Boyle, John Francis (I1813)
|
| 658 | This place was called Nurschau by the Germans. | Frana, John F (I164)
|
| 659 | This record has private research notes. Status: Researching and collecting documents pertaining to the lawsuit between the widow, Elizabeth Horn and her eldest son, Christopher Horn concerning a dispute over land that Christopher claimed by right of primogeniture after his father's death. According to transcriptions of the presumed case (about 1802-1803) which have been posted online, Elizabeth prevailed and recovered the land that she was entitled due to the act of growing a crop of corn. At the time, growing a crop of corn entitled a person to 400 acres of land - preemption warrants. Microfilm of Index to Madison Circuit Court records (indexed by plaintiff) has been ordered for review (8 Mar 2013). If references are found, this will be followed up with review of films containing the case and the images of the documents will be posted here. | Elizabeth (I153)
|
| 660 | This record is found in the Douglas Register which is a transcript of parish records kept by the Rev. Douglas. The Douglas Register book does not indicate whether the baptism took place in the St James Northam Parish. | Robinson, Agnes (I2797)
|
| 661 | This record shows Barbara on the Pensioner's Roll collecting a Widows pension from the 4th day of March 1836 until at least March 1845. This record is not all inclusive of the dates that Barbara received a Widow's pension. | Green, Barbara (I1104)
|
| 662 | This residence, Scott County, Virginia, doesn't match Zachariah's statements when he made application for a pension for his service in the Revolutionary War. The age range, over 45 years old, does. | Phillips, Zachariah (I1100)
|
| 663 | This source should be considered suspect due to the nature of the method the records were collected and cited; it is recommended that the researcher follow up by confirming this data in original records. | Source Source: S1202 (S1202)
|
| 664 | This surname comes from a transcribed record. Based upon what can be seen in the actual record, I'd say that the transcription is very suspect. The surname does not appear to be "Gray". In fact, the second letter in the name appears to be an "i" complete with the dot. | Gray, Sarah Jane (I3271)
|
| 665 | Thomas' death certificate gives Hinton which is in Harrison County, Kentucky as his birth place but Scott County, where his parents were long time residents, is more likely. | Thompson, Thomas (I1200)
|
| 666 | Thompson and Skinner Cemetery This cemetery is located in Grant County, about 2 miles on the left side of Denny Road when traveling from KY 36. Note: I have not located this cemetery personally. I found the location in Volume III of Virgil Chandler Sr.'s book, Grant County Cemeteries. In addition to the directions in the book, I studied satellite imagery to come up with coordinates of what I "BELIEVE" is the cemetery. | Thompson, Napoleon Bonaparte (I1263)
|
| 667 | Though not appearing in the available images online at the time of this citation, copies of baptism records were provided by family members. | Schimka, John (I1303)

| 669 | To Mr. Alexander Purdie. Sir, Some time ago, my having made powder was mentioned in your paper; but, as I with for no more merit (should there be any in this) than I deserve, I inform the publick, that Mr. Benjamin Clement is a partner with me in making the powder, and that he was the first in the colony, I have heard of, who attempted to make it, although he did not bring it to perfection. Since our partnership, we have brought it to such perfection, with Saltpetre of our own making, that the best rifle-men approve of it; and, with the little mill we now have, we can make 50 lb. weight in a day. Saltpetre only is wanting, which may very easily be made, by observing the following directions; and when it is considered how much we want powder, and that saltpetre is its principle ingredient, it is hoped those who have the good of their country at heart will exert themselves in making it. Without it, we can have no powder, consequently no means of defence; but with it, we shall soon have both. I am, sir, your very humble servant, Charles Lynch. | Clement, Captain Benjamin (I3691)

| 670 | To the best of my knowledge, Mary's child seems to have been born out of wedlock. Some claim the father was John Collier.(DJS) | Unknown (I771)

| 671 | To The Honourable House, Of Assembly, For the State of Virginia. The petition of the Destressed Inhabitants of the county of Kentuckky, Humbly, shweth, That whereas we your distressed petitioners, situate in this remote part, exposed to all the Bar-berous ravages of inhuman savage, whose savage disposition, being animated by the rewards of Governour Hamilton has enabled, them to hold up a constant war this four years, which term has reduced many, of us so low that we have scarce cattle amongst us to supply, our small Family's and many of us that brought good stocks of both Horses and cows, now at this juncture have not left so much as one cow for the support of our familys, which to our great disadvantage may plainly appear to every spectator, we have thought proper to present you with a just estimation of our losses in settling and defending this extensive country, which we hope will contribute much to the benefit of the common charge, by virtue of the late act of Assembly, in opening and establishing a Land office, tho at the same time we your depressed petitioners many of us will be intirely deprived of the opportunity of geting so much as one hundred acres of land, notwithstanding the loss of our properties and so many of our lives which we have expended in Defence of this country, except we your petitioners get speedy redress by this our petition, (this must be the unhappy event) we must lie under the disagreeable necessity of going Down the Mississippi, to the Spanish protection, or becoming tennants to private gentlemen who have men employed at this junction in this country at one hundred pounds per Thousand for, running round the land, which is too rough a medicine ever to be dejested by any set of people that have suffered as we have, you the Honourable House of Assembly in whom rests our most sacred rights and priviledges, justice at this time loudly calls your attention we your petitioners hope that the extensive distance of our situation will not create a negligence of this nature, but rather a curious reflection, on our inabilities, we think it expedient to show you the reasons why some of us who first setled in the country will be deprived of geting amends for our losses and troubles first, that many, of our inhabitants both married and single, have been taken by the Indians and carried to Detroyt others killed and their wives and children left in this destitute situation not being able as yet even to support their indigent family's some of which never marked or even choose a piece of Land in the coun-try, we your petitioners think four hundred acres two small a compensation, which will be all we have in our powers to pro-cure. Secondly those who have setled since the year one thousand seven hundred and seventy seven who have suffered equally as much as they that first setled, who could only loose their all; is now deprived of the opportunity of securing any land except four hundred acres and that at the state price which is fair from many of our capacities to be able to comply with the terms proposed to us by act of Assembly, by our being reduced so in coming to the country and loosing what we had after we got to it by the Indians. Thirdly those who have been in the country before the year, one Thousand seven hundred and seventy eight and only raised a small cabbin perhaps never stayed, three weeks in the country never lost to the amount of one shillings worth yet they are intituled to their choice of one Thousand Acres at State price. If no alteration be made it had been well for us if we had all been such cultivators and never come to settle in the country untill there had been a peace. We have long united on the opening of a Land office hoping each sufferer to receve some compen-sation in Land for his loss trouble and risk, and we your peti-tioners are still in hopes that when this our petition comes under your consideration, and a mature reflexion is cast upon the whole, that you will find that our loss is at this juncture to the great advantage of this state. On a reflection of your justice & mercy we congratulate ourselves that a good cause never suffered in the hands of just men, we cheerfully refer the whole of our grievances to do as you in your wisdom may think right, and we your petitioners as in duty bound shall ever &c pray [Names] [The names of the petitioners are included at the end of the Filson Club Publication. Numbers beside a name indicate the petition number as organized in the publication, not the page number in the booklet. Elizabeth was one of the petitioners as were numerous others]. | Elizabeth (I153)

| 690 | Under the Freedom of Information Act an individual may request the Social Security application of a deceased person. As of writing this note in 2011, the request can now be done over the Internet using the online form, SSA-771 "Request for Deceased Individual's Social Security Record". https://secure.ssa.gov/apps9/eFOIA-FEWeb/internet/main.jsp The government charges a substantial fee to obtain an original copy but they still complain about a surge of requests for this information due to people being directed from genealogy web sites. In light of their complaints, I offer to promote that tradition of showing people the way. If the link above is ever changed, just get yourself over to the SSA main web site http://www.socialsecurity.gov and search for "Freedom of Information Act" or "SSA-771" and that should get you into the right area. | Repository Source: (REPO8)
