| 9 | Franz Krings is the progenitor of most all Krings in Nebraska. Franz Krings was born born on 4 December 1818 in Erkelenz Germany. His birth certificate reads: "In the year one thousand eight hundred eighteen, on the fourth of the month December at twelve o'clock noon appeared before me, Peter Joseph Erdmann, Mayor of Erkelenz, as an official of the state of population, Peter Joseph Krings, thirty eight years old, profession, Merchant, living in Erkelenz Administrative District Aachen, who showed me a child of male sex and who told me that this child was born on the third of the month December in the year ont thousand eight hundred eighteen at seven o'clock in the evening to Peter Joseph Krings and to Agnes Schumacher, his wife, profession, housewife, living in Erkelenz, Bellinghover Street in the house with the number 128, and who further declared to give this child the name Franz." "This showing and declaration took place in the presence of Anton Doerenkamp, forty-eight years old, profession, Innkeeper, living in Erkelenz, and of Johann Mathias Classen, twenty-four years old, profession, Community Secretary, living in Erkelenz and after reading this to everybody, the above mentioned as well as the two witnesses, signed this present certificate with me." Signed: P J. Krings ( Father, Witness) Anton Doerenkamp (Innkeeper, Witness) J. Mathias Classen (Community Secretary) Peter Jospeh Erdmann (Mayor) On 25 May 1842, Franz married with Anna Carolina Michels, daughter of Wilhelm Michels and Anna Christina Goertz, in the city of Erkelenz. It appears that they had 4 children Wilhelm Joseph, Jospeha Laura, Josephine, and Heinrich Emil, all born between the years 1845 and 1859 in the city of Erkelenz. Anna Carolina Michel Krings died on 04 May 1863 at the young age of 45, leaving Franz with Wilhelm and Josephina Laura who were now teenagers, and Josepine age 11, and Heinrich Emmil, age 4. Fourteen years later after the death of Anna, in 1877, at the age of 58, he emmigrated Germany to seek a new life in the USA, arriving New York City on 2 June 1877 on the ship Wesser. Travelling together with him was his children Josephe and Emmil. The ship record incorrectly lists the child Emmil as a female. In the fall of In the fall of 1877, a meeting was held at the home of Christian Greisen, and St. Anthony's parish was finally organized. The first parish membership record lists twenty-four Germans, fourteen Poles, and three English speaking members. The first church services in the St. Anthony's community were held in the Christian Greisen home. After the Sunday Mass, the new parishioners were guests of Peter Ripp, for dinner. The first Church Trustees elected were: Peter Ripp and Frank Krings. The St. Anthony's history book mentions that Franz arrived in 1876, but I believe that to be in error and should be 1877. He became a naturlized citizen on 16 February 1878. Franz died in Humphrey Nebraska on 22 December 1893. First trustee St. Anthony' Church, Burrows Twp. Platte Co. Ne.

| 10 | In 1847, Luelling, his wife, and eight children came west on the Oregon Trail, bringing a wagon loaded with an assortment of 50 or 60 varieties of apples, pears, peaches, plums, cherries, quince, black walnuts, hickory nuts, gooseberries, currants, and grapes. All told, the wagon had about 700 young plants. By fall, he and his family had arrived safe and sound in Oregon. Settling in Milwaukie, Luelling started a nursery with his son-in-law, William Meek. He planted his "traveling orchard," and began grafting trees. By 1853, he had 100,000 trees for sale, selling them for $1 to $1.50 each. Orchardists snapped up these trees, using them to plant orchards and start nurseries. Before Luelling, growers relied on seedling fruit, which was often small, with insipid flavor, and other problems. By bringing the finest varieties of fruit to Oregon, Luelling moved gardening a giant step forward. Source: Thomas C. McClintock, "Henderson Luelling, Seth Lewelling and the Birth of the Pacific Coast Fruit Industry," Oregon Historical Quarterly 60, no. 2 (June, 1967}: 153-174. | Lewelling, Henry (I18968)

| 11 | In 1893, when William was 44 and Phoebe was 43, they became tempted by the opening of the Oklahoma Terriitory. Jeremiah had sold the farm to them several years earlier and retired to town, so William sold the farm, fitted up two covered wagons with a 2-wheeled cart attached to two of the wagons to carry bulky foods - one item of which was a big box of gingersnaps, the luxury of the trip. By the late summer of 1894 when the wagons were Wm. and Phoebe, Stella, and one-year old Guy, Lilley, pregnant with her first baby, and her husband, Arch Tingley. The two remaining boys, Jerry and Will aged 15 and 13, rode ponies. Stella was 9 years old when the trip started and she rebelled at leaving her pet puppy. He was allowed to accompany them, but to her soorow, died along the way. When they reached the settlement of Reno, Oklahoma, which is no longer on the map, Arch built a one-room log cabin. This was the shelter for the 8 people in the family (later 9 when Lilley gave birth to a boy they named George. When they left Kansas for Oklahoma: 1. William Salathial Presnell (45) 2. Phoebe Jane Robinson (44) 3. Stella (9 years old) 4. Guy (1 yr old) 5. Lilley Mae (pregnant) (age 18) 6. Arch Tingley (husband of Lilley) 7. Jeremiah (age 15) 8. William (age 13) It was a bare existencelife with the children sleeping on the floor and Phoebe making a bed for herself on 2 chairs. Some of Stella's early memories were of making dolls of corn cobs and dressing them in husks. Her daily chores was watching over the toddler Guy and every chance she got, she'd sneak away to a little play house she'd found near the cabin where the earth cut away to form a semi-cave. By Spring, they'd had enough. Indians stole the two ponies besides harrassing them for food and Stella's resentment knew no bounds when they took off with the prized gingersnaps. They packed up the wagons and returned to Portis and school for the children. It was a big relief to ge back to Portis. | Presnell, William Salathial (I15364)

| 12 | Jeremiah Presnell was born, 6 Mar 1828, in Martinsville, Clinton Co., Ohio (Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Vol VII, pg 262) and died 6 Feb 1897, in Portis, Osborne Co., Kansas (Enscription on headstone;"Aged 68 Yrs, 10M, 25D"). On 23 October 1845 Jeremiah married Rachel Reynard at Henry County, Indiana. Jeremiah was only 17 years old, and Rachel was 18. Their first child, William Salathial Presnell was born in Henry County on 11 August 1849. Jeremiah, Rachel and William appear in the 1850 Census for Henry County Indiana. Sometime between September 1850 and October 1853 they moved to Story County Iowa and lived next to Rachel's parents Jacob and Elizabeth. Their second child, James Monroe Prensell was born on 6 October 1854 in Story County, Iowa. This young family had a successful farm, with 15 improved acres of land, and 87 unimproved. The 1856 Iowa State Census shows that they had 3 tons of hay, 6 acres of corn, and 30 head of cattle. According to Story written by Phoebe Ruth Hansen Goebel, Jeremiah Presnell and family moved from Ames, Iowa to Portis, Kansas in the late 1870's.

| 13 | Lena came to the United States as a young adult and married Henry G Husmann. They were the parents of three children, Elmer, Herbert and Henrietta (Milton Scheffler). Henry died in the flu epidemic of 1918 several months before Henrietta was born. Lena then married Herman H Jannssen. They were parents of two daughters, Edna (Kenneth Paul) and Ruth (Bob Sovboda). Apparently Lena had a child in Germany whom no one here knew anything about. Some of the family members visited Germany in the early 1980's, to visit relatives. Can you imagine their surprise when the Husmann and Janssen siblings found out they had an older half sister? | Kruse, Lena S. (I3499)

| 16 | Story written by her daughter: Donald Sease and Esther Bonfoey were high school sweethearts and engaged to be married after they graduated from high school. While they were engaged she became pregnant. Unfortunately Donald died in a flying accident before they were married. Since they were not yet married when Donald died, Donald's parents rejected Esther and refused to acknowledge Donald's daughter. Since Donald died before Donna was born, her mother gave her the last name of the man she married after Donald died. She was not a blood relative to the Ivers family. She was not told who her blood father was until after she became an adult so she did not know that her sister was a half sister and the father she knew growing up was not her father. It wasn't until she received the letter from her mother (preserved in the family book) that she learned that she was named after her true birth father (Donald/Donna) Around 1950 she was involved in a car accident and suffered chronic back pain for the rest of her life. The family had just visited Donna's Mother in Stockton, CA and was driving home to Cupertino Ca. Between Stockton and Tracy the car was struck from behind by a Greyhound bus. The car, a late 1940's Studebaker, was totaled. Greyhound got them to settle before Donna's chronic pain became obvious so there was no compensation for her injury. Just a new 1951 Ford to replace the Studebaker. Donna spent the rest of her life with chronic back pain that often left her in tears between trips to the chiropractor. Donna had three husbands: William Wakeman to whom she bore 2 daughters. Bill was a WWII Marine veteran who saw intense combat in the pacific. He had PTSD back before PTSD was recognized and tended to loose control when he consumed alcohol. She divorced him because of this. He never touched alcohol afterwords. After the divorce she and the children worked in orchards during the summer to have money for food. We cut apricots for drying then later in the season picked prunes off the ground. We ate a lot of pancakes for dinner because flour, eggs, and milk was all mom could afford. Her future husband Bruce Whaley got her a job at Westinghouse Sunnyvale winding transformers. Bruce Whaley (Whaley-2163) was her second husband. He worked at Westinghouse Sunnyvale as a tool and die maker. In the very early 1970's they sold the house in Cupertino and moved to Trout Gulch, Montana. Not long after he died in a hunting accident. He never got around to changing his life insurance so his death benefits all went to his mother. Donna had the house and worked at the bar in town. When her mother died, her mother's entire estate went to her younger sister who was the one born in wedlock. I don't remember the name of her third husband and never met him. My sister Carol, had met him and didn't like him at all. He owned a semi truck and drove loads as needed. He used what money she had to fix up the truck and when the money ran out he left her. Donna spent her final years living near her daughter Carol in Texas until she died of liver cancer at 78. The cancer was diagnosed, just days before she died. | Ivers, Donna Mae (I28008)

| 17 | The Bowdoin Orient Online Volume CXXXII, Number 15 February 14, 2003 The early offensive in the Pacific KID WONGSRICHANALAI STAFF WRITER John Finzer Presnell, Jr. was born in Portland, Maine in 1914 when, across a great ocean, the First World War was being waged on the fields of France and on the beaches of Italy. Nine days after Presnell turned four years old, Germany surrendered. As the boy matured and attended Portland High School, the defeated Germany birthed the Weimar Republic, which attempted to grow with the rest of the European continent, only to be reminded at every turn of its troubled past. The Treaty of Versailles had bred such hatred and animosity-as it laid the blame for the entire war on the German people-that elements of the community never forgot nor forgave the outside world. Some dreamt of sciences and new ways to live peacefully while still others dreamt of a new empire-a new dawn-for Aryan peoples. It was this latter element that soon gained strength and power in the gathering storm that was fed by weakness and U.S. inaction. As a withering and weak League of Nations failed-thanks to the refusal of the U.S. to abide by its laws-a new Germany was born out of the fires of anger and human hatred. It was a new Reich that would soon spread its evil across a continent and change the world forever. In Maine, John Presnell grew strong and, after graduating from high school in 1932, attended Bowdoin College in Brunswick. The youth worked hard in his undergraduate career, enjoying the delights of Kenneth Charles Morton Sills' small New England college. Presnell did well in his academic career-graduating Phi Beta Kappa in the Class of 1936. Then, following in the proud tradition of many great characters of history, John F. Presnell, Jr. went on to attend the Military Academy at West Point. From the Hudson, he wrote back to the College, simplifying his experience for the Bowdoin Alumnus: "When…a West Point Cadet has received his diploma and his degree of Bachelor of Science, he has not only the same sort of sheepskin as the Bowdoin graduate, but also a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Army, and a motto that will be part of him for the rest of his life: 'Duty, Honor, Country.'" It was in the pursuit of "duty, honor, country" that Presnell accepted his first assignment to the Philippines after graduating from the Point with the highest rating in mathematics-earning for himself the Robert E. Lee Memorial Sword. Aside from his Second Lieutenant's commission in the prestigious Corps of Engineers, Presnell also received the Sons of the American Revolution Cup for military efficiency and the General John J. Pershing Sword for his position as a cadet captain and a regimental commander. Presnell set sail for the Philippines in August, 1940. He continued his good record and, a year later, had almost earned the rank of First Lieutenant. In recognition of his achievements and to note his alma mater's pride at an excellent record, President Sills wrote to the young officer on December 1, 1941: I thought since it takes about a month for a letter from Brunswick to reach the Philippines I would just send you a line to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Our thoughts at the college often go out to those of you who are in distant parts of the world. We are always glad to hear what you are doing, always hope that you will feel we are deeply interested in the men in the service. Allow me to congratulate you on your promotion so soon to a first lieutenancy; that seems to imply you are doing fine work. Presnell probably never read this letter. Six days after it was written Imperial Japanese warplanes bombed the U.S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor and seven days later, on December 8, 1941, they began their invasion of the Philippines. The Japanese struck swiftly. As Franklin Roosevelt was telling the nation that the U.S. was finally entering the war and Bowdoin officials learned that two of their own had been killed at Pearl Harbor, Japanese planes knocked out a large number of the American aircraft stationed in the Philippines under the overall command of General Douglas MacArthur. By December 22, MacArthur's airforce was reduced to only a few fighters and long range B-17 bombers-not nearly enough to halt the swarms of Japanese planes, which patrolled the skies in support of General Homma Masaharu's Fourteenth Army, comprised of approximately 57,000 troops. MacArthur commanded a total of about 31,000 regular American and Filipino troops along with 110,000 "low-grade" Philippine troops. The Japanese moved up from their Luzon landings on December 22, pushing MacArthur's troops before them. Two days later, General MacArthur shifted his headquarters to the mouth of Manila Bay-Correigidor Island two miles off the coast of the Bataan Peninsula. A day after Christmas, Manila fell and a few days after the turn of the year, MacArthur and his command were established on Bataan, which was about twenty-five miles long and twenty in width. Here a state of siege began. American supplies ran low in very short time, having to feed over 100,000 soldiers and civilians. Tropical diseases such as malaria took their toll, both on the fighting men and the officers who commanded them. Both U.S. and Japanese forces suffered in agony-the Japanese having about 10,000 troops down with malarial fever. The situation, however, favored the Japanese, who were able to bring in fresh reinforcements-Washington had decided early on that an attempt to rescue the American forces here would not be undertaken. When attacks against the American lines were resumed in spring of 1942, both sides knew that the fight was basically over. To avoid unnecessary bloodshed, U.S. General King-MacArthur having already left for Australia-surrendered the Bataan survivors on April 9, 1942. Less than a month later, Correigidor-the great fortress-also fell. In the fighting that followed the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, Lt. Presnell fought gallantly and earned the Bronze Star, as well as a promotion to Captain. He was interned in prison camps although the army did not confirm this POW status to his parents until December, 1942. Also captured on Bataan was another Bowdoin man: Major Robert T. Phillips-Class of 1924-a member of the U.S. Army's Medical Corps. Both were captured when the Bataan troops surrendered and managed to survive the horrific Bataan Death March. Phillips, however, did not survive long in the inhumane camps, which the Japanese set up. He died there on June 11, 1943. Presnell was stronger and younger, but he too did not live to see his country victorious. On January 19, 1945, weakened by years of imprisonment and by wounds sustained in several POW ship sinkings, he died. Captain Presnell died without knowing that within less than a year, Allied troops would defeat the Axis after the bloodiest war in human history. That victory was gained by both skill and intrepidity. In the Pacific, the bloody island hopping campaign, which would eventually end with the dropping of two atomic bombs on Japan, began in the summer of 1942 when elite troops of the First Marine Division-known as "the Old Breed"-entered the war and began the reversal of the Japanese tide of conquest. Following the Fall of the Philippines and the victory at Midway, U.S. commanders began a new campaign, hoping to halt the Japanese as they attempted to spread and solidify their defensive parameter in the middle and southern Pacific Ocean. The target for this, the first offensive by the U.S. Marines, was a little known island named Guadalcanal. | Presnell, John Finzer Jr. (I1783)

| 18 | The Center Monthly Meeting of Guilford County, North Carolina was established in 1757. The Daniel Presnell family was associated with this Center Monthly Meeting prior to 1792. The minutes of this meeting were destroyed by fire in 1825. Daniel Presnell appears on Jacob Shepard's List in Randolph County in 1779 (age 31), the year the county was formed. His worth is listed as 170 pounds. The Back Creek, North Carolina Quaker Meeting (Randoloph County) was established in 1792 and the Pressnall family was associated with this group from its start. The Back Creek Quaker records show: June 25, 1797, Stephen, son of Daniel of Randolph County, married Hannah Rease. March 7, 1798, Lydia, daughter of Daniel of Randolph County, married Nathan Hutson. June 6, 1804, Daniel, son of Daniel and Martha of Randolph County, married Pleasant Modlin. Daniel Presnell appears on Capt. Burn's District in the 1815 Tax List of Randolph County, and is listed as having 650 acres on Back Creek. The Milford Quaker Meeting Minutes of Wayne County, Irdiana record the following: March 26, 1825, A committee was appointed to inspect the situation of Daniel Pressnall Sr. and his wife and devise such methods for their relief as may appear necessary. July 23, 1825, The committee reported that the matter of relief for Daniel Pressnall Sr. and his wife be discontinued and no longer be a meeting concern. March 25, 1826, Daniel Preasnall Sr. of Back Creek and his wife report that they need immediate assistance of the Friends. April 22, 1826, Twenty dollars was raised for the relief of Daniel Sr. and his wife. | Presnell, Daniel (I9264)

| 20 | Who were the parents of Jacob Presnell? Most Presnell genealogists make the assumption that the parents of Jacob (b. about 1680) were James and Sarah Prenell since we find James Presnell recorded in the same location at the right time. Could Jacob be the son of George? That is also a possibility as he is of the right age, and is found in Middlesex County records. We assume that George and James are about the same age, but don't have definitive proof of that. Both George and James are found in Middlesex County. We know that George is in the Virginia Militia at about the time of Jacob's birth, and we know James is in Middlesex county into the early 1700s. Most Presnell genealogists claim it was James, and were not aware of the records that we have for George. There is also a possibility that the father of Jacob is someone else entirely, although that would be highly unlikely. Who was the wife of Jacob Presnell? I believe with 99% certainty that it was Mary Hedgecock. We have pretty solid evidence to lead us to this conclusion. There are many whom still today claim it was Marie Julie Maupin, but they have done no homework, and are "copy and paste genealogists." I must however admit, that when I was first starting out in family research, I too had inserted this wonderful story into my ancestry. Today, we now know that Maupin story to be false, a complete fabrication that was the result of someone's creative writing. I have since removed all of this Maupin story from my database. It surprises me greatly, that some people feel the need to hold on to that crazy story, because they like it, even when all the evidence clearly shows it to be false. The problem is that this story has spread enough, that we may never get it cleaned up. There is a book published by Dorothy Maupin Shaffett, titled "The Story Of Gabriel and Marie Maupin." The stated purpose of this book was to dispell the myth of a Presnell connection. The Marie Julie Maupin Myth Today, we know this supposed connection is absolutely ridiculous. The Presnell and Maupin families were not even in the same area of Virginia, and Marie would have been 6 years old at the time of the birth of the daughter Sarah Presnell. At the time of the creative writing project, the birth date of Marie Julie Maupin was only "assumed," and it was assumed to fit their story. Additionally, we find that she was not married at the time of the will of her father. The Maupin Family Society also strongly dismisses this fabricated story. The story was very impressive and fanciful. Marie Julie Maupin was supposedly the daughter of Gabriel Maupin and Mary Spencer. Gabriel was the son of a famous General, and Mary was the daughter of the Earl of Spencer. Obviously a very wealthy and well-connected family. The creative writer didn't do much homework however. Gabriel Maupin’s wife Marie is not a Spencer. Her surname is Hersant (confirmed by the Maupin Family Society), and records are found in the archives in Amsterdam. The title “Earl of Spencer” did not exist yet, as Earl Spencer is a title in the Peerage of Great Britain that was created on 1 November 1765. The story continues that our Jacob Presnell, was Jacques (so he could fit in with the french family Maupin) Presnell and that he married Marie Julie Maupin in 1700, and then traveled with the Maupins to Virginia on the ship Le Nassau. Again, our creative writer failed to do any homework. Jacob Presnell has no French connection. His name is never spelled Jacques anywhere. There is no single piece of reference material anywhere in the world that documents his name as Jacques, only where people have saved it themselves as such and created a record. No Presnell was ever in France in the 1600 and 1700's. Jacob Presnell did not travel with the Maupin family on the ship LeNassau as was claimed. We now have a copy of the ship manifest, and we find there was no Presnell name anywhere. The Nassau received a permit to depart Kensington, England, for Virginia, January 18, 1701 under command of Capt. Tregian. It arrived March 5, 1701 and went up the York River. Only 23 went on to Manakintown. List of French, Swiss, Genevese, German, and Flemish Protestants embarked on the ship named the Nassau to go to Virginia. Gabriel Maupin is on the ship manifest with his wife and 3 children. We now know that the "famous" Gabriel Maupin was a tailor from Amsterdam. He married Marie Hersant in 1691. This is recorded in the Walloon Church, N Holland, Amsterdam, Netherlands. Their daughter, Marie Maupin is born in 1696 (baptized on 16 April 1696). So if you do a little bit of simple math, and look at the Christ Church Registry, and see that the first child of Jacob Presnell and his wife Mary, have a baby Sarah, born in 1702. You would realize the mother (if it were Marie/Mary Maupin) is 6 years old! Even if Marie was born in the first year of the marriage of Gabriel and Marie, she could have only been 11 years old! Experienced Genealogists also point to the fact that Mary Julie Maupin was not marred yet at the time of her father's death in 1720, as she is still listed as a Maupin, not married. The Maupin Family Society denies any claim that Mary Julie Maupin was married to Jacob Presnell. With all this evidence, there will still feel a few out there, that will ignorantly hold on to this fanciful myth. ... oh, and let's not forget the part in the story, where the ship Le Nassau sprung a leak, and Gabriel Maupin being the important and pius man that he was, prayed for divine assistance, and the leak stopped, and when they arrived in port a large fish was found wedged tightly in the hole. The wife of Jacob Presnell is Mary Hedgecock As I stated previously, I am about 99% certain that the wife of Jacob is Mary Hedgecock. We simply don't have any documented evidence to prove that 100%. Mary Hedgecock, the daughter of Thomas Hedgecock was born between 1680 and 1686. Thomas Hedgecock died in 1704. In his will, his estate is left to his wife Margery Hedgecock and his grand-daughter Sarah Pressnon, daughter of Jacob Preson (witnessed by William Carter, Mary Carter, and William Jones). here is no Pressnon family in this region, although we find Jacob Presnells name spelled different ways over the years, a problem that continues for our family for another 300 years When you look at the baptismal records for Christ Church, Middlesex County Virginia, you will note that of the children of Jacob Presnell and "Mary" they only have their oldest "Sarah" at the year of Thomas Hedgecock's death in 1704. Their next child Mary is born in 1705. So, Mary Hedgecock is most undoubtedly our spouse for Jacob, particularly when you look at the Middlesex records and realize that there are no other surnames that begin with Pr that would come close to making a connection. Additional Records for Jacob Presnell 06 April 1714 - Order Book 5 (1710-1726) Middlesex County, Virginia page 175 Jacob Preston (Presnell) states that Thomas Wood died without a will and he is made the administrator. A Bill of Sale recorded in January 1717 showed that Jacob Presnal died February 1716, his personal property was sold on 05 November 1716 in the amount of £8.13.10 to John Dweny, Wayne Curtis, John Gutherie, Robert Blackly, and George Carter.

| 23 | "A QUAKER ELOPEMENT" Contributed by Mrs. Earl Parmenter ;l 1106 Hoffman Avenue ; Des Moines, Iowa 50316 Duck Creek Monthly Meeting, Henry County, Indiana, minutes read: "1831,02 mo,24 Mary Hutson (fore Maudlin Duck Creel; Preparative Meeting complained of for marrying contrary to discipline and deviation from plainness. Condemned her misconduct.. This entry in Quaker records is explained in a family story handed down through several generations. Joseph and Violet (Bell) Maudlin/Modlin did not approve of their daughter's planned marriage to James Hutson. The cause of their disapproval is not known as James was the son of Quakers Nathan and Lydia (Presnall) Hutson. "Polly" Maudlin defiantly announced her plans on the day of the planned elopement, 1831?Feb?03. Her family took action ? boosted her up the ladder to the loft of their home, shut the trap door and held the would?be bride prisoner. Polly pathetically complained of the cold prison in which she was being held so they passed a pan of coals from the fireplace up to her so she could warm herself. Her family had not reckoned with Polly's inventiveness. When she heard the commotion of the grooms arrival she set f1re to a p11e of wool cardings stored in the attic. Her shouts of "Fire! Fire!" brought results: she was quickly freed. Her father and brothers rushed into the task of putting out the fire while Polly rode away with her soon?to?be husband. After many years of marriage, a large family and an 1853 migration from Henry County to the new state of Iowa, their story ends with two small markers in the Peoria Cemetery in Story County, Iowa: Rev. James Hutson, 1808?Feb?25 ? 1879?Sep?25.; Mary Hutson, 1811,Dec-17 1892,Nov,18. This story came through their daughter, Elizabeth (Hutson) Dunlap to her son, James T. Dunlop, who passed it along to his son George Dunlap, named for his grandfather who died in the Civil Mar, father of Mrs. Parmenter, who first heard it as a small child, long before she knew of any connection to the Quaker religion or the possibility that the story could be verified in the minutes kept ny a meeting so long ago. | Modlin, Mary (Polly) (I18871)

| 24 | "At the convention to consider ratifications of the Federal Constitution, held in Hillsborough (Twp, Randolph Co) in August 1788, NC voted against the new Constitution. As a result of the pro-ratification campaign which followed, the General Assembly, meeting in Fayetteville on November 17, 1788, received many petitions urging the call of a new convention to reconsider the Constitution. The manuscript Dept of Perkins Library at Duke University holds petitions from 19 counties in its collection "NC State Papers, 1788-1789." Among these petitions is one drown up by the militia companies of Randolph County. This is a valuable roster of the county's citizens in late 1788, and the Journal is pleased to publish it, with kind permission of the Manuscript Dept. As those who have puzzled over and deciphered eighteenth century manuscripts know all too well, this material can be hard to read, especially lists of proper names. Fortunately in this instance company leaders signed for all of the men in the group and there is thus some uniformity of handwriting. With the help of Mrs Carolyn Hager and other researchers in the Genealogical Society, the rosters have been carefully deciphered and compared to those of contemporary documents for the county. It is likely that some inaccuracies have gotten through, however. If you note ways the list can be made more accurate, we will be more than pleased to hear from you." Joe C Rees, Duke University Library. Undated document: Probably prepared between Sept & October, 1788. To the honorable the General Assembly of NC now siitting at Fayetteville greeting The petition of sundry inhabitants within the county of Randolph humbly sheweth - - That our minds are deeply impress'd with the truth of that maxim by which was brought about our glorious revolution to wit "By Union we stand by Disunion we fall" and we think that union is as necessary at this time, as any period during the war, for the preservation of our Independent Republican form of government as well as for the preservation of our lives, libertys, and propertys- - - That we have a just sense of the Miserable State we must shortly be reduced to should we separate from our Sister States with whom we have fought, bled, and nobly conquered - - and who to shew their great willingness to continue in union with us have given up one of their greatest local benefits for the general good to wit their Imposts a sum sufficient for the present to pay off our part of the Interest of the Foreign debt and which may in future by the increase of commerce be also sufficient to pay the principal - - That we believe in our concienses the future hapiness & prosperity of this State depends on our firm Union with our Sister States and the speedy ratification of the Federal Constitution what ever the opposers of it may, from ill grounded fears, prejudices, or self interested motives, say to the contrary - - Not doubting but that the Congress when organiz'd will in a Constitutional manner make any amendment which may be thought necessary for the general good of the Union Under this firm belief we pray that your Honourable body will call a new Convention to reconsider the federal Constitution & Ratify the same on the part of this State that we may, in Union, haave ashare in common with the other States in framing the Federal Laws, Choosing the great officers of government, and making all the necessary amendments to the Constitution - - and your petitions as in duty bound will ever pray.

| 25 | "Buna Presnell Hicks was born on November 11, 1888 to Andrew and Jane Eggers Presnell. She married Roby Hicks, son of Samuel and Becky Hicks, and together they had several children, including Hattie and Stanley. Both the Hicks and Presnell families were known for their music and storytelling talents on Beech Mountain. Roby Hicks, along with his brothers and father, made instruments and played the banjo, skills he passed on to his son Stanley, a Foxfire contact. Stanley became recognized for skill in playing and making both dulcimers and banjos, and his sisters Hattie and Rosa went on to make recordings of mountain ballads. Buna also sang ballads and taught herself to play the fiddle and dulcimer. Buna made several recordings throughout her life and was well known as a folk musician in the Appalachians. She died on April 21, 1984. In addition to these facts gleaned from census records and family histories, the Foxfire interview with Buna provides a personal character sketch. Buna had strong feelings about music. “Fiddle and banjo, they kinda get up and go music.” The spirited, upbeat tunes of fiddles would “get a man’s feet hot dancin’ like that” while dulcimers, with their singular drone note, were “sort of a lonesome kinda music.” She never learned contemporary styles of music, but preferred the inspirational and folk tunes of the mountains. Buna shared some family anecdotes that provide a look into the culture of Beech Mountain at the turn of the century. While most people were against dancing at the time, her mother loved to dance. “My mother was a good ole woman and she said if she took a notion to dance in the president’s house she’d dance. Yes, she didn’t mean any harm just get out and have a little fun and dance a little.” She also discusses family recipes and collecting food, including how to make apple butter and how to dry apples. Buna and her family would cook apples with molasses, boiling it until it got thick and stirring it with wooden paddles. Excess apples would be dried on pans in a special outbuilding that had a kiln inside. They would keep a fire burning for about two days until the slices were dry. Buna thought dried apples strung up were the “prettiest things dried like that in the house you ever seed.” Vegetables, like green beans and pumpkins, would be dried and stored as well. Among her uses for and tales about wild plants was an origin story for the glowing fungi which Foxfire is named after: “A fox seed this fire. Well, he went and got him a rabbit and went back and hung it up in front of it and sat up all night long waitin’ and it never did cook his rabbit and that’s the reason it’s foxfire. This foxfire I wish I could see some more of it. It just shines. Oh how bright it shines!” Buna did not attend school, but it is evident from her interview and musical talent that she was a sharp and driven woman. She taught herself to play fiddle and excelled at it. Buna was also literate and believed that “it’s a good thing to have learnin’, if a body ain’t got none they sure goin’ to miss it.” Buna left an incredible legacy and a love for music that continued through the talents of her children. Her stories and words of wisdom are an invaluable asset to the Foxfire collection. They illuminate the close-knit community and rich folk heritage of Watauga County. We hope to continue research on her and her family, and perhaps uncover more hidden tales like hers within our collection." When Buna Vesta Presnell was born on November 11, 1888, in Watauga, North Carolina [1], her father, Andrew, was 47, and her mother, Sarah, was 33. She married Roby Monroe Hicks [2] on February 21, 1902, in Watauga, North Carolina. They had ten children in 26 years. She died on April 21, 1984, in Boone, North Carolina, at the age of 95, and was buried in Avery, North Carolina. [3] | Presnell, Buna Vesta (I1208)

Then in 1786 Benjamin moved a little farther west purchasing property in Greenville Co., SC in 1786 (Greenville Co., SC Deed Bk A, pg. 38). (This deed was witnessed by James Copeland, and John Bates. James Copeland had previously witnessed a deed for Benjamin Ellis in Rowan Co., NC, 1761). Between 1795-1798 the families were selling their SC property and moved to an area of Summer & Smith Counties in TN. Benjamin Ellis died 1802 near Hartsville, TN. Benjamin Ellis settled on South Bear Creek in 1815 in Montgomery Co. MO. He was a wheelwright and chair maker, and also had a hand mill. He had 10 children. James Ellis settled on Bear Creek in 1819. If this is accurate, then he didn't die in TN. | Ellis, Benjamin (I11847)

Died at Jackson, Ala, 6 Sept 1864 after a few days' illness, Mrs. P.A. Presnall, wife of Caleb Presnall. It is well and truly said that in the 'midst of life we are in death.' She has long been a consistent and highly esteemed member of the Baptist Church, & died, as we believe, with a firm hope of a blessed immortality in heaven. As a wife she was devoted, confiding & true, as a mother she was affectionate & gentle, as a neighbor she was kind, amiable & obliging, and as a Christian she was submissive, obedient & faithful. She leaves five young children in this world of sorrows who can never more know the tender care of a loving & doting mother. A. Friend." | McAddin, Phoebe Ann (I18037)
