No report has been received of the descendants of Martha Scattergood. Several of the name now reside in Burlington County, and probably are descended from her. Her children were born between 1704 and 1732. She probably died before 1735. (Reference: L. P.

NOTE: Rockingham County was established in 1778 from Augusta County. The county is named for the Marquis of Rockingham, British statesman
A Frankish tribe settled at the end of the Weschnitz Valley and its chieftain Wino gave Weinheim its name. The village Weinheim is first mentioned in the Chronicles in 755. It became a fief of the mighty Abbey of Lorsch and its Peterskirche was protected by the Castle Windeck. Power changed hands and in 1232 the Abbey's holdings were transferred to the Archbishop of Mainz. Count Palatine founded a new town one mile south of the old in the year 1250. The old and the new were joined in 1456 after many conflicts. Only 1/2 of the population survived the Thirty Years' War but it was spared when France devastated almost every town in the Palatinate between 1689-1693. When Napoleon rearranged Europe in the 18th century it became part of the Grand Duchy of Baden.
The Thirty Years' War, lasting from 1618 to 1648, involved most of the countries of western Europe, and was fought mainly in Germany. At first the struggle was primarily based on the religious antagonism engendered among Germans by the events of the Protestant Reformation. Religious tensions were seriously aggravated in Germany during the reign (1576-1612) of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II. Protestant churches in many parts of Germany were destroyed, restrictions were placed on the rights of Protestants to worship freely, and the emperor's officials made the Treaty of Augsburg the basis for a general resurgence of Roman Catholic power. The religious hatreds that flared into the Thirty Years' War had smoldered for more than half a century before 1618. The war, was one of the most destructive conflicts in European history. Uncertainty, fear, disruption, and brutality marked everyday life and remained a memory in German consciousness for centuries.
Heinrich Zeller (aka Henry Sellers) was born in or very near Weinheim, Germany in the Duchy of Baden in the Holy Roman Empire and here he married Anna Maria (last name unknown). Around the year 1700 the number of barges moving down the Rhine river began to increase in number. They were loaded with families bound for Rotterdam where they hoped to find passage to a new world called America.
Heinrich Zeller, at the age of thirty four, boarded a barge with his young wife and small children in the early summer of 1738. Friends and relatives had been leaving the area of Weinheim for some years. The preparation for leaving had gone on all winter. Most of it had consisted of what they could take with them, which was very little. They probably packed what clothing and food they could in an old trunk or wooden chest. They perhaps had a few utensils and some seeds and bulbs. Seeds and bulbs were two items the women tried to bring. A bulb was a tie back home.
He was probably very excited when the day finally came to catch the barge. The barge was damp and well worn from previous trips up and down the Rhine. Word had been coming to the area about "Penn's Land" and if he was going to go he must go soon since he was now 34 and in the eighteenth century life was short.
He was better prepared in some ways for his trip than some of his fellow immigrants in that he had some education. He firmly inscribed his name HEINRICH ZELLER on the ship's register when he landed in Philadelphia. He probably carried some coin. He was evidently Lutheran or Reform since we find his family with these faiths in America.
All winter the river had been ice bound but now the warm winds of spring had washed the winter snow away and the Rhine River was running high. As the barge drifted down the river the passengers took one last look at their homeland as the old Windeck Castle on the hill faded from sight. Thought to be on the barge with him were his daughter Anna Barbara, age 5; Johannes, age 3; and his wife, Anna Maria who was probably some years younger than he. Anna Maria may have been expecting since it is thought a son, Peter, was born circa 1738 or 1739. At Rotterdam he secured passage on the ship Queen Elizabeth, Alexander Hope, Commander. They stopped at Deal, England to refuel and take on their last provisions for the trip. The air was filled with excitement. Little did they know what lay ahead for them on the high seas before they saw land again. The crowded conditions, sickness, and the stench on the small sailing vessels were yet to be realized along with the fearful waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Food and water was often scarce at sea and disease was often rampant. There were many burials of crew and passengers made in the stormy waters leaving broken families and orphaned children when the ship finally landed in America. They were fleeing into the unknown but it was less frightening than the conditions under which they were living. They were seeking freedom from interference with their religious and family life. They landed at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania September 16, 1738. They were probably very glad to be on firm ground again, even though they knew nothing about their new country or what lay ahead.
Sometime after arriving in Pennsylvania Heinrich learned of land in the Valley of Virginia through friends and promoters. Several friends and neighbors moved to Virginia, some also from Germany. It is not known the exact route he followed to Virginia and there has been much speculation. He had to cross Maryland and there were only three crossings of the Potomac that were widely used by those coming from the north in the early days. Coming as early as Heinrich did, it is likely they traveled by pack horses since the trails were not cleared well enough to get over them with wagons. In any case we find him in 1750 at the foot of the Peaked Mountain, west of Elkton. Augusta County, Virginia land books show he acquired his first land in 1750.
The Heinrich Zeller family was active in the Peaked Mountain Church. The old church record refers to it as the "Pinquit Moundyn" in "Agosti" County, toward the South "Chanithor" River. The area was in Augusta County, Virginia on the Shenandoah River that became Rockingham County, Virginia in 1778. The name was from the southern peak of the Massanutten Mountain and around which the Zellers family settled. The first church was near a Mr. Hermann's mill. The second church was dedicated October 23, 1768. The building was used by both the Lutheran and Reform congregations. On October 31, 1769, forty five persons signed an agreement that it was to be a Union Church. It was near Stony Creek. A third church was dedicated on May 27, 1804 and the building was still shared jointly between the Lutheran and the Reform.
The Zeller/Sellers name is German, or perhaps German-Swiss. The Zellers spelling continued well into the early part of the 19th century. The records of early America were kept in English. The English did not know German and the Germans did not know English and therein arose the dilemma concerning the spelling of names of the German immigrants. The English had to make the entries so they spelled phonetically as it sounded for official records. Names became Anglicized as time went on so that it is difficult today to sometimes identify the origin. Some of the old deeds and other business transactions that are written in English were signed in German. There has been found many spellings of the name Zeller/Sellers. Some of the spellings found were Sehler, Selers, Celers, Celer, Sellar, Cellars, Zöller, Zöllner, Seller, and Söller.
The origin of the name seems to be open to question by authorities. One version is that it was derived from "of the cellar". There was a position of some note within the feudal hierarchy known as the office of the Cellarer. The person holding this position served as a steward. The steward managed and supervised accounts, servants, and other domestic concerns. One holding the position of Cellarer certainly had considerable responsibility in relation to the well being of the lord and his vassals. There were certainly stewards of the vast cellars under the castles of medieval Europe where the food supplies were stored and the great wine cellars existed. It is possible, that the name came from "of the cellar".

The Sellers (Cellers, Zellers) family in Warren County was among the earliest pioneers, having taken up landed holdings in January 1799, by purchase. The first hundred years of the Zellers family, (as it was then spelled) has been lost in the maze of time. It is a matter of family traditions that three brothers came from Germany about two hundred and fifty years ago. One of them settled in Pennsylvania, one in Maryland and one in Virginia.

Notes by David J. Griffiths
...Eileen used to holiday in Naseby, staying at the boarding house run by a Mrs. Brown. Among the crowd was Reta Whelan and Rex Griffiths. On 30th May 1908 she married Rexiter John James Griffiths. The built a brick home in Look-Out Point, Riselaw Road, although there was an inside toilet it was many years before it was connected, therefore they used an outside toilet. Risela Road was o the edge of the then city on the top of the hill. On the other side of the road were paddocks where wheat was grown; sowed by casting and reaped by hand.
...In 1939 there was a great snow fall and the snow covered the ground up to the fences, hiding any cars that were parked. David and Bryan were born while living there. It was not unusual to see Bryan in the push chair, with David standing on the back, being pushed up the hill from Caversham Terminus by Eileen. She did this to save a penny bus fare. Eileen and the boys would, on Sunday, walk to St. Patricks for Mass and work back, sometimes stopping at a dairy at Caversham for Ice Cream that was required by law to be eaten in the shop. Progress came in the form of new roads being made on the town side of Riselaw Road; the contractor boarded with the Griffiths.
...At the start of the war they moved to Atkinson Street, South Dunedin, between Oxford and Melboourne Street. Russel and Dawn were born here, and Bryan was married at St. Patricks. Eileen's mother was getting old, so the Griffiths shifted again to Ascot Street, St. Kilda, to a house that had a separate living area, which Eileen's mother came to live in. Russel, Dawn and David were married while living here. | Ritchie, Eileen Nora (I4366)

Following newspaper clips are from personal papers of F.A.: "STUDENTS START ON HIKING TOUR..A toothbrush, a safety razor, and clothes on their back comprise the camping outfits of two Athens youths who leave today on a hiking venture, destination unknown. The young men are Ferry Alvin Cady and Ted Woodworth, both Ohio University students. Finding work rather scarce and feeling the call for adventure both young men are starting out "broke" but pleased to take their chances. They are not sure just where they are going, but they stated they were going to start this noon on a full stomach and let the future take care of itself." " WALKS 800 MILES TO DELTA MEET ON BET..."Jack" Cady, student of the University of Ohio, arrived in Omaha yesterday after walking a distance of 800 miles on a bet to attend the annual session of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity to be held in Omaha, Aug. 24-27 (1921).

Cady, 97 North Congress St. from her son, Ferry, who with Neil Rumsey and Jim Throne, Ohio University men, left Athens about a week ago on a trip to "nowhere." They left Columbus last Thursday, went thru Springfield, Dayton, Indianapolis, Brozie, Highland, Illinois, and into St. Louis, arriving there last Monday.

Cady remained in this city only several hours as the guest of Jack Jerpe and then set out on the last leg of his journey. Whatever bet he has won is being kept to himself."

...John Feather died in Plain Township, Stark County, Ohio, Sept. 21, 1876 at age 85.
...Mr. Feather was born somewhere in the Shenandoah Valley, Va. and in His eighteenth or 19th year, He came to Lancaster, Pa. and after His Marriage with Miss Schaefer, they resided at Rabit hill, Now Rothville. He was a Boy of unusual mental faculties and was a School Teacher in His teens, which was something unusual in those early Years. While teaching near Lilitz, Pa. the writer's Father was one of His pupils and it is somewhat singular that three generations of the Holl Family received instructions from the same teacher. Mr Feather came to Stark County, In 1835, and settled near New Berlin. Shortly after Mr. Feather came to Stark County, there was organized a Militia regiment and having studied Military tactics in His early days, He was chosen Col. in 1840. What He lacked in military Lore, He made up in being a strict disciplinarian and in a short time His battalion was a body of well drilled men. He followed teaching in New Berlin and adjoining districts for many years and in his teaching, He was as in Military matters a severe disciplinarian, and rough in his punishments, and it is doubtful if there was ever a teacher in the County who whipped as many boys and girls as He did. He nevertheless was a great friend of small children who ran to meet Him whenever He appeared on the School ground. At recess or at noon the scholars would gather around Him expecting to hear a good story and the half grown boys nick named Him "Peter Pinder The Great Story Teller".
...At Christmas He was sure to deal out Christmas Gifts in the shapes of cakes, candies, nuts and apples. He also took quite an interest in politics and whenever his party, Democratic, had mass meetings at Canton, or some other places.
...Taking wagons with them loaded with evergreens, hickory polls, flags and banners, enthusiastic democrats, Col. Feather as He was called on such occasions was sure to act as Marshall, riding on His Sorral Horse and wearing a long crimson sash. He had some bad habits when in manhood years, the most prominent of which was intemperance, but these He laid aside in Old Age. In His religious sentiments, He was a free thinker but in public was very careful how He expressed Him self on the religious matters. He was a genuine Old school Virginian being an out spoken State Rights and Pro Slavery man.
...During the Civil War 1861-65 He did not hesitate to express sentiments in sympathy with the Confederates and when General Sheridan Made his memorable raids thru The Shenandoah in 1864, Mr Feather was very out spoken concerning His sympathy with the Native Valley.

He was born near the town then called New Port, in Adams County, Ohio, where he grew to manhood. On the 18th of September 1865, he was married to Mary S.(usan) Peterson, who preceded him in death two and one-half years. They resided in Ohio until the autumn of 1868 when they came to Worth County, Mo., near Blockton, Ia., where they continued to reside until bereft of his companion, since then he made his home with the children near the old home. He was the father of ten children---six sons and four daughters—all of whom survive. Namely: Mrs. Chas. S. Cobb, Blockton; A. E. Florea, Thedford, Nebr.; J. N. Florea, Alton, Mo., Mrs. Geo. Glenn and Mrs. A. L. Goff, Irena, Mo.; L. R. Florea, Leona, Kansas; W. G. Florea, F. L. Florea, Mrs. J. L. Hall and B. A. Florea, Blockton. All with twenty-nine grandchildren, twelve great grandchildren, a great number of relatives, and a host of friends, mourn his departure.
...Early in life he became obedient to the Gospel, lived faithful to the (closing?) and died in the triumph of a living faith. He united with the church at Newport, Ohio, and when he came to Worth County, placed his membership with a congregation (located) at Isadora and afterward united with the church at Pleasant Ridge (words illegible) September, 1898, he became a charter member of the Church of Christ at Tent Chapel, was ordained an elder and continued until death. It was through his efforts the congregation was established. His home was one of hospitality and many faithful preachers have partaken of its blessings.
Thus marks the passing of another pioneer of good ripe old age, as a ripe sheaf for the garner, whose pilgrimage covered the period of 81 years, 10 months and 18 days.
...The funeral services were conducted at Tent Chapel on Wednesday, Jan. 20, by L. R. Cobb of Bedford. The pallbearers were Will, Charles, Albert, Denver, Samuel and Delbert Florea, of Nodaway County, Mo., nephews of the deceased.

...Rev. Francis Hugh Beck was born in Vandalia, Montgomery County, Ohio, April 21, 1827, and died at his home in Kessler, Ohio, March 2, 1904, at the age of 76 years, 10 months and 11 days.
...As he grew toward the years of manhood he made his home for several winters with Enoch Sinks of whom he learned the shoe-making trade. He seemed like a brother to the children in that home, among whom were Davis and Noah Sinks, now of Troy. It was from this home that our brother was married to Amelia Cress, November 8, 1846, by Benjamin Furnas, Esq. She was the daughter of Abram and Mary Cress and their married life extended over a period of fifty-two years.
...In 1849 they moved to Shelby County, Ohio, where they lived for ten years. In 1859 they came back to their native township to live and at once became active members of the Lower Stillwater Christian Church. What memories cluster about the names of the sturdy men of that period who were co-workers with Brother Beck. Among them we may mention Emanuel Coble, John Guillen, John Wilds, Daniel Waymire, Enoch Sinks, John C. Waymire, Davis Mast, Andrew Sinks, William Coble and many others, all of whom have passed away.
...Brother Beck possessed a gift of exhortation from his early years and later he entered the gospel ministry. He was ordained at the session of the Miami Ohio Christian Conference held at New Carlisle several years age. Rev. C. J. Jones, D. D., preached the ordination sermon.
...Among those associated with Brother Beck in more recent years may be mentioned:P Rev. W. Al. Gross, William Pearson, C. C. Phillips, William Jay, Daniel Brewer, I. C. Waymire and H. Y. Rush.
...It can also be said of our departed brother that he was a public spirited man and was at times chosen to fill positions of public trust. He served two terms as trustee of Union township and was twice elected County Infirmary Director. He was filling this responsible position at the time of his death. The other members of the Infirmary Board, together with the Superintendent of that institution, attended the funeral service as a mark of respect to his memory.
...The greatest sorrow of our brother's life came to his home March 26, 1899, when his life-long companion passed away after an illness of twelve weeks duration.
...To them had been given seven children, four of whom are living: namely, George W. Beck, of Kessler, J. Warren Beck, of Wengerlawn, Mary J. Beck, who has always stayed with her father, T. A. Beck, of Brookville. There are also eight grand children living and six great grand children.
...On August 31, 1902, brother Beck was again joined in marriage with Elizabeth Eidemiller who survives him. His departure has brought great sorrow to her.
...The affliction of our departed brother had been growing worse gradually for a few years. About four weeks ago he suffered an acute attack of his malady and slowly sank away and when the end came he went peacefully to rest.
...The funeral services and burial took place at the West Union Church. The house was filled and many beautiful flowers rested upon the casket as expressions of respect and love for the departed and sympathy for the sorrowing family....The pastor was assisted in the services by Revs. I. C. Waymire and O. S. Thomas....His form was tenderly placed beside that of his companion of other years and we were all comforted with the assurance that our loss is his infinite gain.
