| 23301 | Proposed Change: Johannes Becker Baker (I89690) Tree: Südpfalz / Southern Palatinate Link: http://www.birkenhoerdt.net/getperson.php?personID=I89690&tree=Suedpfalz Description: The following is a public story from ancestry.com that came up while researching the Yoho Family. Moved from Bingen, Mainz-Bingen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. Captain John Hontas Baker - Life History John Hontas Baker's birth year ranges from 1737 to 1740. John reportedly came to America with his brother Jacob about 1760. It is also reported he had six brothers and sisters including: Jacob, Betty or Beulah, Peter, Hannah, Henry and George. His brother Henry was supposedly born in 1731 and died in 1807 and had married Maria Elizabeth Fink. Beulah married a man named Philpot, and George was born in 1749. Father was George Perilous Baker b: June 1714 in Bingen Am Rhine, Prussia, Germany. John Hontas Baker marriage to Elizabeth Ann Adams Sullivan Baker b: 2/14/1743 in Germany Married: 1760 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. John Baker was a noted pioneer and soldier in the early history of the upper Ohio River Valley. Author Scott Powell in his History of Marshall County West Virginia, records that Baker was born in Purssia and came to America about 1760. He arrived at Philadelphia and five years later married Elizabeth Sullivan of that city. From there the young couple moved to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia where they lived two years. They then moved to the waters of Dunkard Creek, now in Greene Co. PA in the year 1767 and remained there seven years. At the time they lived on that creek there were a number of Indians residing on it and they and the whites were very friendly. John Baker was the father of twin sisters Margaret and Catherine Baker who married Peter and Henry Yoho. While it is not clear how and when Peter and Henry met Captain Baker's daughters, Peter married Margaret Baker in 1774. The date of Henry's marriage to Catherine is not known. At the outbreak of Dunmore's War, Captain Baker moved his family to Redstone Old Fort, now Brownsville, Pennsylvania. The American Revolution began soon after the close of Dunmore's War and Indian hostilities soon followed. Baker remained at the fort a number of years, and was in the service of that Colony of Virginia much of the time during that war, but there is little record of him. From Redstone he moved to Catfish Camp Virginia (now West Virginia) in 1781, where he remained a short time. He then moved to Round Bottom and in 1784, Captain Baker built a blockhouse near the upper end of Cresap's Bottom. This place was generally known by the name of Baker's Station and is near what is now Moundsville, West Virginia.While two Wetzel men were at Baker's Station in 1787, they and Captain Baker noticed some Indians on the opposite shore of the Ohio River walking about. Baker, having an opportunity, shot and killed one Indian. The others ran away as if badly frightened, leaving the dead Indian where he fell. They evidently did this to deceive the whites as it was proved later by their actions. Baker and the two Wetzels crossed over the river and were viewing the dead Indian when several shots were fired and Baker fell mortally wounded. The Wetzels commenced to fight and some other men crossed the river and reinforced them driving off the Indians allowing the recovery of Baker's body. He had crawled a short distance from where he fell and was alive when recovered but died soon after arriving back at Baker's station. Baker was buried on a flat near a stream called Grave Yard Run at the upper end of Cresap's Bottom. Captain Baker's son John Jr. was killed by Indians at the same location in 1794. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------- An interview with Samuel Baker of Marshall County, West Virginia by Editors of the Intelligencer newspaper: John Baker, my grandfather, was a Prussian, and he came to the United States in the year 1755. He landed at Philadelphia, where he married a German lady by the name of Elizabeth Sullivan, in the year 1760, immediately after his marriage he moved to the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, where in the year 1763 Henry Baker, my father, was born. In the year 1767 he emigrated from there to Drunkard Creek, Green county, Pa., and settled among the Indians, four tribes of whom were then living there in peace with the whites, viz. the Delaware, the Wyandots, the Swanees and the Mingoes. He remained there until the breaking out of Dunmore's war, when he took refuge with his family in what was then called Redstone Old Fort, now Brownsville, Pennsylvania.

Aber, auf die Gefahr, dass ich euch lästig werde, muss ich noch einmal nachhaken. 1. Es ist sicherlich ungewöhnlich, dass ein später geborenes Kind den gleichen Namen erhält, wie sein noch lebender Bruder. Dies ist jedoch kein Einzelfall. Habe so etwas bei meinen Nachforschungen schon erlebt. Ein Erklärungsversuch wäre, dass das zweite Kind bei der Geburt bereits schwer erkrankt und der baldige Tod abzusehen war. 2. Im KBR Bundenthal 1755-1810 (Pirmasenser Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Familienforschung) findet sich auf Seite 49 (letzte Person) folgender Eintrag: "Leidner, Joseph, Bauer, aus Bundenthal, S.v. Leidner Michael und der + Schlick Anna Maria oo 27.02.1786 (blutsverwandt vom 4. zum 4. Grad) Trapp, Maria Eva, aus Bundenthal, T.v. Trapp Wendelin und Roger Franziska (>an anderer Stelle im KBR auch Rosche Franziska genannt<)" - es folgen die Namen der gemeinsamen Kinder. Der "neue" Joseph Leidner ~05.04.1752 in Bundenthal (KBR Bundenthal 1800-1875, Seite 160, Eintrag Nr. 740) oo Trapp Maria Eva, ist nach meiner Auffassung eben diese Person. Zumal in den Einträgen beider Kirchenbücher die Tochter Johanna Elisabetha (*27.12.1786) erwähnt ist. Bitte überdenkt meine Hinweise nochmals. Vielleicht könnt ihr euch meiner Argumentation noch anschließen und der arme Joseph ist dann doch kein Waisenkind. Bin gespannt auf eure Antwort Viele Grüße H.

| 23323 | Published in the Monroe County Beacon, July 16, 1964 and by Clermont C. Pfalzgraph, Grandson of George Michael Jr. and Elizabeth Diehl Pfalzgraph George Michael Pfalzgraph Jr. was born in 1809 in the family home, which was a stone house approximately two and a half miles from the Rhine River. George Michael Sr?s mother was buried on Easter Sunday 1832 which was the same day that his family joined with other families and departed for LeHarve, France as the first step of their emigration to the United States. Included in the party were George Michael Pfalzgraph Sr., a cousin, and a maiden, Elizabeth Diehl, who later became the wife of Michael Jr. In another account (see below) it was noted that Elizabeth?s father was angry about her emigrating to the United States. Based on oral histories and our interpretation of scant records, it was not unusual for the early settlers of Miltonsburg and Monroe County villages to leave substantial (stone) homes in Germany and France and accept the crude dwellings and conditions of the American frontier as their new home. Making the journey with other family members and close family associates such as Elizabeth Diehl as well as other families from the same general area was also a common pattern. Once a family settled in United States, other family members and acquaintances naturally joined them at least for a time in this country. This pattern helps to explain why we found that almost everyone who lived in Miltonsburg in the nineteenth century seemed to be related to someone else who lived in the village. The Pfalzgraph party landed in Baltimore, Maryland in July of 1832. They then took tobacco wagons returning to Barnesville, Ohio. Using returning tobacco wagons to get to Monroe County helps confirm an oral history explanation that Baltimore Road in Miltonsburg was so named because it was the road taken by the tobacco wagons as they left the village headed for the tobacco warehouses and auctions in Baltimore. From Barnesville, George Michael Sr. went to Monroe County and paid $1.25 per acre for 40 acres of government land near Woodsfield and put it in Michael Jr?s name as he was the only child. The cousin headed south upon reaching Barnesville and was never heard from again. George Michael Sr. was a stonecutter by trade. He never remarried; could not speak English and died July 5, 1852. George Michael Jr., who was 23 years old when he arrived, was a teamster before coming to the United States. He died January 3, 1867. Their first work on the 40 acres was to dig a spring (well?) which still provides water. They built a (log?) house, which had dirt floors, in three days. No glass or metal of any kind was used in the construction of the house. A hole was cut for a window. When it was cold something was hung over the opening. Boards in the door were split from a tree and wooden hinges and a wooden lock was installed. The roof of the cabin was held in place by weight poles. They made all their furniture. The chairs had three legs like milk stools except a little higher. The table was made from a big block of wood about eight inches thick which was taken from a tree split in half. Holes were bored in it and posts were driven into them for legs. They cooked in a fireplace and slept on the floor. A year after they established their home in United States, the grandmother (Elizabeth Diehl) wrote and told her father that they had two hogs to butcher, 40 bushel of wheat and a good supply of potatoes. She also told him that they had to burn wood to get rid of it. He could not believe this but seven years later her father?s family (the Diehls) emigrated to the United States. | Pfalzgraf, Georges Michel (I42115)

| 23346 | Rear Admiral David M. Kindleberger (Left, Circa 1864 as Surgeon) (Right, Circa 1890) (Photographs courtesy of Cary Randall Stone-Greenstein) David M. Kindleberger was born September 2, 1834 to Dr. Tobias J. (abt 1806- ?) and Catherine K (Newcomer) (abt 1812 - ?) Kindleberger in Smithville, Wayne County, Ohio. He was educated at Wittenberg College, Class of 1855, and Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia 1858. As a medical doctor he was described as an "Allopath." He joined U.S. Navy as an Assistant Surgeon on May 20, 1859 because a roommate in medical school had talked it up. His first cruise was a three-year tour aboard the USS San Jacinto of the west coast of Africa to stop the slave trade. After his return in 1861, he was detailed for a few months to the Philadelphia Naval Yard. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he was assigned for duty aboard the USS Miami with the West Gulf Blockading Squadron and participated in a number of the naval engagements off the southern coast, including the battle of Mobile Bay where he served as a surgeon aboard the USS Monongahela. On August 14, 1862, he was promoted to Surgeon. Rear Admiral Kindleberger's Civil War career is best summarized from a newspaper article that he prepared when he was almost 84 years old in an effort to help elicit patriotic support for the United States' participation in World War I. The January 20, 1918 article that was published in the New York Times is presented below. Patriotic Appeal of 84-Year-Old Admiral Retired Naval Officer Who Was with Farragut at Mobile Bay, Tells About His Experiences as a Stimulus for Self-Sacrifice by the Young Men of Today By Rear Admiral D. Kindleberger, Ex-Medical Director, U.S. Navy I think it is the duty of every American, male and female, young or old, to do everything possible to aid in the prosecution of this greatest of all wars to a victorious end. I considered that I, though nearly 84 years old, might be able to arouse in the minds of some people now indifferent to the outcome of the war a patriotic desire to their "bit" by giving some fact of my experience in the war between the North and South. In writing these facts of my experience as I remember them I do it without any of the feeling of resentment that prevailed as that time, but simply to show how bravely all, both Northern and Southern officers and men, stood up before the dangers of battle to defend and maintain their patriotic duties to their country. I hope that their patriotic example may stimulate all of our citizens of today to a deep sense of a personal duty to do all in each one's power in defense of our glorious country, and conquer a lasting peace for us and the whole world. In 1859, I was commissioned an Assistant Surgeon in the United States Navy and was ordered to the United States ship San Jacinto, which was sent the same year to the West Coast of Africa to prevent the slave trade. We remained there until 1861, when the war broke out, and then we returned to the United States, and I was soon ordered to the United States steamer Miami, which sent to the Gulf of Mexico to join the squadron of the brave old Admiral Farragut. We were not long reaching the mouth of the Mississippi River, where his large fleet was assembled. In a few weeks, we all steamed up the river and anchored below Forts Philip and Jackson, where we lay for several weeks waiting for the results of the firing on the forts by the mortar boats. During the time we waiting the firing of the mortar boats, the enemy had stretched chains across the river and sent down numerous fire rafts to burn us in the night. Our ship had a narrow escape from one of them, which floated towards us and got fast in our wheelhouse where it hung some little time before it could be got loose. In the mean time, it was throwing hundreds of burning embers on top of a large oilcloth tarpaulin, under which were stored one hundred barrels of gunpowder for use by the mortar boats next day. Our brave officers and men jumped upon the cinders and put them out before they could burn hole through to the powder. It was a miraculous escape. At length the Admiral concluded that the time had come to run past the forts in the night with his fleet. Our ship, with others, was to remain below and deliver a furious fire on the forts as the fleet passed up the river. All his ships went past safely except one. A day or two afterwards the fleet sailed up the river to New Orleans, which was surrendered without firing a gun. General Butler and a regiment of troops on board was the first one to land or, rather, to make fast to the wharves. After repairing our damages and waiting several weeks for necessary stores and preparations, the Admiral determined to take his fleet up the Mississippi River and clear away the enemy from the shores, so that our river boats could go up and down without being fired on. During this waiting, I was transferred to a new ship called the Monongahela that was added to the fleet. The river banks were soon cleared of sharpshooters, snipers and other obstructions, and then the fleet went up past Baton Rouge to a place called Port Hudson. Here the east bank of the river rose to high bluffs, on which were placed many big guns backed by a large lot of troops. Here the fleet had to stop. The Admiral then determined to run past them in the night as he had done at Forts Philip and Jackson. So one dark night, the fleet started and soon a tremendous firing began from the enemy and our guns responded. The only ship that got past was the Admiral's ship, the Hartford. All the other ships fell back down the river except our ship, the Monongahela, which got fast in the mud, right under the enemy's guns on the other side of the river. To make it worse for us, some enemy troops on our shore lighted fires so that we were silhouetted, and a fine mark for their guns. We expected every moment, for over four hours, to be blown up by shots in our boilers or magazines. Our brave Captain McKinstry had the bridge shot out from under him, breaking both of his ankles. He was carried to his cabin and asked if the ship should surrender. He answered most emphatically, " No, never! I'll be blown up first!" As good fortune came to us, our ship swung around with head down the river about an hour before daylight and we soon were out of the range of the guns. We were struck over 100 times with grape, canister, and cannon shots. About one-sixth on board were killed or wounded. My room was torn to pieces. We lay for some days below the forts until we got a new Captain, Abner Reid. Some days after this, early one morning after a dark night, a small boat came alongside of us; and who should come on board of us but Admiral Farragut. It was so if he had fallen from the sky. It turned out that he had floated past the bluff batteries on a boat concealed by bushes. He made our ship, the Monongahela, his temporary flagship for some weeks until Port Hudson was taken by General Banks' army in the rear, when his flagship, the Hartford, came down the river from Vicksburg and he returned to her. While with us, he had several slight attacks of sickness which I looked after. Then the mosquitoes were so bad, and to protect him from them I gave him my mosquito bar. He was a most kind and loveable-natured man. The humblest sailor could talk with him without any great formality. He was very kind to me. Our ship, the Monongahela, was build in the beginning of the war and was of unusual speed, and on that account was almost constantly running backward and forward between Port Hudson and Baton Rouge, and New Orleans, on business for the fleet, carrying stores, passengers, sick, wounded, etc. On several occasions, we had Admiral Farragut or members of his staff as passengers. In going down the river we often made sixteen to seventeen miles per hour, much to the delight of the Admiral, whom I frequently heard exclaiming: "See her run, she's going like a scared dog, like a railway train," etc. It was at that time an anomalous speed for a man-of-war. Because of our frequent passage up and down and our constant firing at everything that looked suspicious, the enemy determined to sink us if possible. So, at several points we were fired on by field pieces. Among those places was one consisting of several twelve-pounder guns at a point several miles below Baton Rouge, on the west bank of the river. Holes were cut through the levee, which very high and thick, so that eight-inch guns could not fire through them and when fired over them the fuses did not explode the shell until they were long past the enemy; consequently our firing at them did no damage. On one occasion, we were sent to New Orleans with orders to proceed with all possible dispatch, and when we came to this point, we were met with severe fire from several guns which greatly excited the anger of our new Captain, Abner Reid. He gave them several shots from our eight-inch guns and field pieces without stopping the ship. Her shouted to them, "I cannot stop now, but just you wait until I come back and I will then blow you to smithereens," or word to that effect. After attending to the business at New Orleans, we started back up the river with Captain Jenkins, Admiral Farragut's fleet Captain, on board. We had several little encounters with the enemy on the way, but when we got to where the several guns were we were met by a grand fusillade. Captain Reid kept his promise to the them. He anchored the ship in front of the battery and all our guns were brought into action, but without the least damage to the enemy, because, as I said before, our shells could not penetrate the broad, thick levee, and when they went over, they exploded far beyond the enemy. We were struck frequently and men were killed and wounded by their twelve-pounder guns. Finally a shell struck us near where Captain Reid stood and as it burst he was hit by two of the fragments, one going thought his right knee joint and the other tore out a piece from his abdomen as large as a man's hand, exposing the entrails. A piece of the same shell broke a cutlass into fragments, a part of which struck Captain Jenkins on the right leg above the knee, making a severe wound. As it was considered useless to continue the action, since our firing had no effect in silencing their gun, orders were given to slip the cable and proceed to Baton Rouge. After arrival, I was order to take Captain Reid ashore and remain with him as long as necessary. His wounds were considered mortal, but as he was a large man with a powerful physique, and before his wounds, in the best of health, it was four days before he died. He was conscious the whole time, but I kept him comparatively free from pain by the use of opiates. He talked with me concerning his wound, and insisted on knowing whether it was mortal. I felt it my duty to tell him that it was. He then in the most cool manner gave me instructions as to the disposal of his things, and, giving his wife's address, requested me to write to her an account of his injuries with final messages. Such bravery and such coolness, looking death in the face, was characteristic of the man who, before he came to our ship, was commanding an active little gunboat that ran from Lake Pontchartrain to the fleet off Mobile Bay, much to the terror of the enemy. In the evening, I went to see him and found him very weak, but apparently conscious. Suddenly he opened his eyes and said: "Doctor, I suppose I must die." "Yes Captain, I am afraid so." Then again shutting his eyes, he lay for some minutes quietly, and, suddenly looking at me, he said, "Well, I think I will shove off." and died without another word, at that instant using the usual remark of a boat leaving ship for shore. In the course of two or three month the enemy were captured along the whole length of our part of the river, so we had a rest for a few months. Then the Admiral determined to capture another of the enemy's strongholds at a place called Mobile Bay. To do this several month of preparation were necessary. At last, everything was ready for the attack, and the great Farragut, though he knew for wooden ships to attempt to pass under the guns of so strongly a fortified place as Forts Morgan and Gains was a very uncertain problem, determined to make the attack. It was a magnificent sight. Large American flags were at all mastheads and peaks of every ship, fluttering in the gentle morning breeze. I stayed on deck admiring the grand display until the front ships opened fire on the forts, which they soon returned. I then went down to my station and it was not long before our ship was under fire, and soon they began to bring down the wounded. Among them was our First Lieutenant with both legs crushed, one so badly it was necessary to cut it off above the knee; the other was put in splints. Many others came down with wounds of all sorts. Soon the order came to our ship to ram the enemy's ironclad at the full speed of fourteen knots. The noise of the cannon, the shouting of the men and the groans of the wounded were indescribable. A moment later, we rammed the big ironclad Tennessee with such force that all of us were sent almost head-over-heals with the sudden shock. Our big iron ram was broken to pieces and our solid wooden bow was ground to splinters for over twenty feet, fortunately above the water line. Just as we struck her, two of her shells entered our bow and burst on the berth deck, wounding many, among whom was one of my assistants. The front ship stopped, saying that there were torpedoes ahead. Then the Admiral, whose ship was next, cried out, "Damn the torpedoes" and shouting to his own Captain, "Hard a port, full speed ahead." Many torpedo fuses were exploded by the vessels, but only one torpedo exploded sinking the monitor Tecumseh, drowning and killing all on board except about fifteen, who had tome to get out before she sunk. It was also in this battle that the Admiral was lashed to the rigging for fear of falling overboard in case he was wounded or killed. In two hours after we got inside, all the enemy's gunboats were captured, and in a day or two the big ironclad also, and the efforts were cut off from supplies hence at our mercy. This was the crushing of the last naval stronghold, giving New Orleans, Mobile, and the whole Gulf coast into the hands of the North. On January 1, 1865, he was assigned as Surgeon aboard the USS Itasca, which was part of the West Gulf Blockading Squadron, He served on this ship until the end of the war. Following the war, he served from 1869 to 1871 aboard the USS Independence at Mare Island near San Francisco. From 1877 - 1880, he served as the Fleet Surgeon of the Asiatic Station. On February 26, 1880, he was ordered to duty on the Naval Retiring Board. He also served as a Navy Medical Inspector, being detached from the Retiring Board and assigned to the flagship, the USS Hartford on December 2, 1883. In 1886, Dr. Kindleberger became Fleet Surgeon of the Pacific Coast Naval Station. On January 30, 1887, he became the Medical Director in charge of the naval hospital at Washington, DC. He served for a number of years as a member of the Medical Examining Board of the Navy. In 1888, he was placed in charge of the naval hospital at Philadelphia; a post he held until his retirement. Admiral Kindleberger retired from active service on September 2, 1896, having reached the age limit of 62 (at this time, he maintained the distinction of being the oldest officer then serving in the U.S. Navy). Following retirement from the Navy, Dr. Kindleberger traveled extensively throughout the world, and resided in France, Italy, and Norway and finally back in the United States in Washington DC and New York. In 1921, he was listed in Who's Who. USS Miami USS Monongahela USS Independence USS Hartford In addition to having a highly successful Navy career, Admiral Kindleberger became proficient as a painter. He started painting on long cruises at sea, bored with inactivity as a doctor with nothing to do. He became quite expert and eventually obtained very good prices for his best work. He painted passionately, and if he ran out of canvas would paint on anything, boards or even cloth. He did many pastoral scenes. While serving in California and continuing on into his retirement, he achieved considerable success with paintings of landscapes, some of which are now in museums. He was a member of the Washington, DC Artist Club and the Society of Washington Artists. He exhibited at the National Academy of Design (1877) and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art (1880s - 1890s). His work is in the collection of the California Historical Society and a painting of his hangs in the Washington County Museum in Hagar Maryland. One of his pictures, Figures on a Shore, realized $19,975 in a sale in March 2006. Matterhorn Figures on a Shore Rear Admiral David M. Kindleberger was married three times.

| 23348 | RECEPTION ON THANKSGIVING Happy Time Spent at Dick Home in Cherryhill Mr. Frank M. Dick, youngest son of Mrs. J.P. Dick, and Miss Minnie Nelson Fyock, of Penn Run, were united in marriage on Wednesday, Nov. 28. It was the desire of Mrs. Dick, the groom's mother, to have at her home a reception for the young couple and incidentally a reunion of her children. This was held on Thanksgiving Day, resulting in the presence of the following persons: Caroline Simpson and her husband, Mr. R.E. Simpson, with their son, Earl D. and Jennie O., his wife, also Miss Vera and Master Edgar Budd, children of Mr. and Mrs. Simpson; Mr. Elmer E. Hadden, and wife, Annie, and their daughter, Elizabeth; Mrs. Lizzie Henry and her children, Frank and Gay; Mr. J.M. Dick and his wife, Elizabeth, with their two daughters, Luella and Grace; Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Fyock, the parents, and Robert and Miss Annie, brother and sister of the bride. None of these parties are graduates in Anatomy but they succeeded in a scientific dissection of a turkey. A number of valuable and appropriate presents graced the occasion. Pleasant conversation, interspersed with sweet strains of music were among the enjoyments. An old-fashioned serenade brought out an attendance of the weed as well as sweets on the previous evening, to the joy of the participants. | Family (F42560)
