    Hi! my grandson is related to you on is father's side through the Wilcox family. Ruth Wilcox is his great grandmother. She is a delight and I am hoping she will dig around and find some info and photos for me. That being said, the book is rather funny. (the Wilcox book). Is there any reason to believe that they were Irish? researching the Wilcox (willcock) name only really leads to England where the name originated. have you found anything else?

      Hi Pat, Sorry for the delay in responding, November has been hectic. I haven't yet gotten back far enough to get Wilcox family off this continent. Before New Brunswyck Canada its looking like they may be from New Jersey and Loyalists who went to the Canadian provinces after losing the Revolutionary war, but I'm not positive yet.

    Hi Jo, thank you so much for this very interesting research on my/our ancestor, Joshua Currey. I've just found all of this information today, so it's fascinating! My lineage goes from Joshua to his son David, then his son Reverend David Currey (who moved from Gagetown NB to Wolverton, ON), George N. Currey, Fred Currey (my great grandfather) who moved from Wolverton to Macoun Saskatchewan where my grandma, Edna Beryl Currey, was born in 1907. They eventually moved to Vernon BC where Fred died in 1942. My grandma married Charles Edward Little in 1934 and they moved to Calgary AB in the 50s. She died in 2004 at 96. I remember my grandma talking about her family who were originally from the US but moved up to Canada after the Revolutionary War. My dad had mentioned a letter that had been written at that time, but he doesn't know where it is. Maybe he was referring to the letter in your post. So great to finally find out what actually happened and who the family my grandma referred to as "her people" are. My grandma always longed to return to Ontario to the Drumbo, Wolverton, Woodstock area where they settled. There is so much info on this family! I so appreciate your putting this together. I'm curious to find out what happened to Joshua's mom, Elizabeth Jones Currey and a sister, Mary Currey Smith who both died on February 14, 1778. How did these women die? There also seems to be a book written in 1970 about the Curreys from the Hudson Highlands. Cheers! Sue

      Hi Sue,
      It’s good to hear from you! I’m glad you found this interesting. I’ll be looking further up this line again. This is Dad’s side. Right now I’m trying to track down Mom’s side, when I can. I didn’t get a pandemic break at work; I ended up with lots of extra hours (I work for NY Unemployment Insurance & we got swamped so I ended up being designated essential, and have had less time to research, not more). But take a look at my post on Mary Towne Eastey, She’s David Currey, Sr. ‘S 2nd great grandmother and was caught up in the tragedy of the Salem witch trials and hung.
      I think you’ll find her fascinating as well.

      Jo

    Hi Jo,
    Thanks for compiling all this family history. Reading this blog, I see that your Andrew Bennett is brother to my great-great grandmother Mary Jane Bennett (1845-1923). She & husband John Young (1842-1923) had daughter/my g-grandma Emma Elizabeth Young (1874-1960). Emma & husband Jeremiah Buffer Cornell (1871-1947) had daughter/my grandma Golda Gladys Cornell (1910-1965). Golda & husband Floyd Edward Wheeler (1906-1975) had daughter/my mother Bernita Elizabeth Wheeler (1930-1984). Bernita & her husband Kenneth Wendall Badley (1925-1975) had me, Linda Badley-Baker (1950).

      Hi Linda! Thanks for all that information! I had your great-grandmother's names cross-switched in my tree and no middle name for your great-grandfather and nothing else beyond names and partial birth dates for their kids. This will help fill in some blanks. I always like to learn about the siblings both for interest as people and because it helps me get further up. I appreciate the help!

    Your blog has helped me some. Thank you for the information. My 3rd time grandfather is Johannes Essinger born 1804. I'm trying to find his middle name. His son was VaLentin born 1840. His son was Philip Essinger born 1870 his daughter Frederika (Freda) born 1913 in New Orleans Louisiana. Freda married John Edward Sutherland of New Orleans.I'm finding that some spell Essinger as Ebinger. I hope to hear from you. Thanks for your information and your blog. Julie Sutherland Ferrell

      Hi Julie, I'm glad my blog has helped you some. I'm guessing the Ebinger is an Americanization of the German letter called an "eszett" that looks like a fancy "B" and is written in english spellings of German words as a double s "ss", so it makes a sort of sense that it became Ebinger (all this from a cousin who reads & translates German for me). I have a Johannes Essinger born 29 Jan 1804 who is my 4th-great-granduncle but I don't know much about him & what I have may be wrong as, improbably, I show his wife and mother with the same name. Given that his first name is spelled Johannes, he might not have a middle name if what I've learned about the German naming system is right. I explained what I know about it in the post on Johann Adam Essinger (your guy's brother).

    I am so happy to have found your blogspot! My name is Frances Pickin Florio. I am a Harlan through my paternal grandmother, Flora Harlan Pickin, daughter of Alpheus Harlan, the compiler of the Harlan Genealogy. To have found the actual marriage certificate is great! I haven't anything to add to your account other than I found someone else who on geni.com who has found the siblings of Thomas, George & Michael - it looks like there were ten children in all. Are you a member of the Harlan Family in America organization? I attended the last reunion in Philadelphia. Hope to hear from you - Cousin Fran Florio

    Hello, thanks for your informative blog! It's been helpful to my own research. The Harlans are my ancestors, too. I recently found this information about William Harlan that I thought you would like to have, since up til now I also hadn't found much on him. Turns out his 1744 gristmill in Pennsylvania is a landmark in Doe Run, West Marlborough Township. http://unionvilleinthenews.blogspot.com/2014/06/blow-horn-update.html
