Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneers of Old Hopewell: With Sketches of Her Revolutionary Heroes Adam Ege, mentioned in articles 25 and 26, the great great grandfather of Ralph Ege, was born about 1 725 and came to this country from Germany when about thirteen years of age. He was accompanied by two brothers, George and Martin. George settled in Cumberland Co Pa where a large number of his descendants still reside, and are eminent in church and state. The name of Martin appears as one of the witnesses to a deed given to Adam in 1 759, and is supposed to have settled in Philadelphia. That the family was of prominence in Germany, is evident from the fact that the Ege coat of arms is to be found on the tombstone of one of the family, who many years ago was Burgomaster of the town of Esslingen, Wurtemburg, Germany.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ... NUMBER XXIII. Daniel Hart, second son of Captain Edward, and brother and business partner of Hon. John in the Glen Moore mill property, re. sided on the fine farm now known as the "Glen Moore Stock Farm," owned by E. S. Wells, Esq., the old house standing a few yards east of the present mansion. The families of Capt. Edward and his brother, Major Ralph, were known among the pioneers as the "Black Harts," from their dark complexion to distinguish them from the children of the other brothers, John, Joseph and Nathaniel, who were known from their fair complexion as the "White Harts." All the above families carried down the old family names, John, Edward, Joseph, etc., which made it difficult to designate them, as in naming their children a middle name was a luxury seldom indulged in by our forefathers. Through the kindness of Joseph H. Moore, Esq., of Glen Moore, we have in our possession all the old deeds for the farm on which Daniel Hart resided, from the settlement of Johannis Hendrickson, previous to 1722--down to the time of Mr. Moore's grandfather. Daniel Hart purchased it of Jonathan Hunt, on April 15, 1748, about three years prior to his purchase of the mill property on the east side of the brook, the date of which is given in our last article. On March 10, 1784, Levi Hart, "only surviving son and heir of Daniel Hart, deceased," sold the homestead farm to Benjamin Cornell, of Pennington, N. J., the deed being also signed by Mary, wife of Levi, who was a daughter of Elnathan Hunt. The children of Levi Hart and Mary Hunt were as follows, viz: Daniel, who died in 1795, when a young man. John H. married Elizabeth, daughter of Capt. Timothy Titus, born August 4, 1782. Charity, married Nathaniel Bryant. Sarah, married Nov. 12, 1799, John...

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Pulitzer Prize–winning historian David McCullough rediscovers an important and dramatic chapter in the American story—the settling of the Northwest Territory by dauntless pioneers who overcame incredible hardships to build a community based on ideals that would come to define our country. As part of the Treaty of Paris, in which Great Britain recognized the new United States of America, Britain ceded the land that comprised the immense Northwest Territory, a wilderness empire northwest of the Ohio River containing the future states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. A Massachusetts minister named Manasseh Cutler was instrumental in opening this vast territory to veterans of the Revolutionary War and their families for settlement. Included in the Northwest Ordinance were three remarkable conditions: freedom of religion, free universal education, and most importantly, the prohibition of slavery. In 1788 the first band of pioneers set out from New England for the Northwest Territory under the leadership of Revolutionary War veteran General Rufus Putnam. They settled in what is now Marietta on the banks of the Ohio River. McCullough tells the story through five major characters: Cutler and Putnam; Cutler’s son Ephraim; and two other men, one a carpenter turned architect, and the other a physician who became a prominent pioneer in American science. They and their families created a town in a primeval wilderness, while coping with such frontier realities as floods, fires, wolves and bears, no roads or bridges, no guarantees of any sort, all the while negotiating a contentious and sometimes hostile relationship with the native people. Like so many of McCullough’s subjects, they let no obstacle deter or defeat them. Drawn in great part from a rare and all-but-unknown collection of diaries and letters by the key figures, The Pioneers is a uniquely American story of people whose ambition and courage led them to remarkable accomplishments. This is a revelatory and quintessentially American story, written with David McCullough’s signature narrative energy.

This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of the Early Settlers of the Hopewell Section and Reminiscences of the Pioneers and Their Descendants by Families There is no more historic place in America than Mecklenburg county, and in the county no spot so conspicuous for men of daring and chivalric deeds in Revolutionary times as the Hopewell settlement. This section was settled by that sturdy Scotch-Irish element who appear to have been born in the Presbyterian faith, strongly imbued with a love of liberty, religious freedom, and fair play. The majority of the pioneers came from Maryland and Pennsylvania. The section of which we write is bounded on the west by the Catawba river, taking its name from the tribe of Indians who roamed over this portion of North Carolina long after the white people established homes on its borders; bounded on the east by a high ridge without a single water course running across it for twenty miles. The rain falling on the west side flows into the Catawba, and all on the east side to Rocky River. In the early days of the settlement the southern and northern boundaries extended respectively for a few miles north of Charlotte to Beattie's Ford, twelve miles northwest of Hopewell church. The lands were well watered, somewhat rolling, much of it prairie in fine grass and wild pea-vines, very fertile, and all capable of easy cultivation, except a small area covered with "nigger-head rock." It was once believed that only a wild and rugged climate and scant soil could produce the highest type of manhood, but the heroes of the Revolution, and their descendants in the last great struggle between the States, prove that it is more in the race than in the locality.

Download or read book Pioneers of Old Monocacy written by Grace L. Tracey and published by Genealogical Publishing Com. This book was released on 1987 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a definitive account of the land and the people of Old Monocacy in early Frederick County, Maryland. The outgrowth of a project begun by Grace L. Tracey and completed by John P. Dern, it presents a detailed account of landholdings in that part of western Maryland that eventually became Frederick County. At the same time it provides a history of the inhabitants of the area, from the early traders and explorers to the farsighted investors and speculators, from the original Quaker settlers to the Germans of central Frederick County. In essence, the book has a dual focus. First it attempts to locate and describe the land of the early settlers. This is done by means of a superb series of plat maps, drawn to scale from original surveys and based both on certificates of survey and patents. These show, in precise configurations, the exact locations of the various grants and lots, the names of owners and occupiers, the dates of surveys and patents, and the names of contiguous land owners. Second, it identifies the early settlers and inhabitants of the area, carefully following them through deeds, wills, and inventories, judgment records, and rent rolls. Finally, in meticulously compiled appendices it provides a chronological list of surveys between 1721 and 1743; an alphabetical list of surveys, giving dates, page reference--text and maps--and patent references; a list of taxables for 1733-34; and a list of the early German settlers of Frederick County, showing their religion, their location, dates of arrival, and their earliest records in the county. Winner of the 1988 Donald Lines Jacobus Award
