Apparently Hendrickjen Cornelisse passed away before Lambert Huybertse Brink as she is not mentioned in his will.
...The first Dutch Church of Kingston was built of logs in 1661, This building was burned by Indians on 10th of June, 1663 and forty-five villagers were taken into captivity including Lambert Huybertse Brink's wife Hendrickje Cornelisse and their three oldest children - Huybert, Lysbet and the toddler Cornelis.
...On that day, at about noon when most of the men were in the fields, bands of Indians entered through the gates, and scattering among the people and into the houses in a friendly manner, offered beans and maize for sale. A short time afterward several horse-back riders hurried through the mill-gate from Hurley, crying 'The Indians have destroyed the New Village'. When the cry was heard, the Indians began a general attack, murdering, or in some cases, taking prisoners; plundering, and then setting fire to the village on the windward side. However, a shifting of the wind prevented a total destruction, and the arrival of the men from the fields made the Indians flee.
...After three months the Brink family and others were rescued from captivity. The burned church was rebuilt in 1667 on the same site. The church at Kingston was the only Dutch Church in all of Ulster County for the families to attend and that is where we find all their baptisms. | Cornelisse, Hendrickje (I6332)

As entered upon the Proclamation Register, preserved in the Old Archive of Groningen, the following attestation was made concerning the publication of the banns in that city:
February 4, 1630.
—The Honorable Tomas Swartwolt of Groningen in Lamhuinge Street, and the virtuous maiden Aerijaentijen Sijmens of Amsterdam; the publication was allowed here inasmuch as it must also be proclaimed there, as the attestation hereof shows.
—For this appeared Thomas Swartwout of Groningen, twenty-three years
old, a tobacco merchant, residing on the Kcyscrsgracht, and Ariaentje Sijmons of Amsterdam, twenty-two years old, assisted by her father, Sijmon Sijmons, and by her mother, Catryna Grcbbers, residing on the Prinsengracht, seeking the crying out of their banns on three Sundays in order to obtain the solemnization of the aforesaid marriage, and to have it wholly consummated, so far as otherwise before granted, changed, hindered, and interpreted. And for that they truly declare that they are free persons and together in extraction.
—Nothing existing where a Christian marriage should be prevented, they
here proffer their compliance.

As to Ed Austin and Aunt Gussie - In the school year of 1912-13, I was a freshman in Kansas State Agricultural College at Manhattan, Kan. and Van was there taking his Master's degree. One Sunday we took the train to Topeka and called on the Austins. I recall little about this event except that it happened, and that they were very nice people who put us at our ease and carried on a very interesting conversation. In 1929, I think, Ed and Gussie were passing through Cleveland and stopped for a very brief call on us there. They were on their way back to Topeka and in a great hurry for some reason. Probably they stayed longer at Philoma's than they had planned. [Source: Information collected by Amos Clark Lackey, letter from Donald B.

At the age of seven his parents moved to Warren County, Ohio, where he was reared on a farm and attended the pioneer schools. Learned the cabinet-maker trade of his brother-in-law, George LaFetra, and engaged in that work for fifteen years. In 1836 moved to Piqua for two years, thence to a farm he had purchased several years before in Brown Township, Miami County. He cleared the forest, and today fine buildings have taken the place of his rude huts and barns. During the Civil War he sold this farm and purchased another in the same township. In 1865 he moved to a farm purchased of his nephew, James LaFetra, near Oakland, Clinton county, but later returned to Miami County, near Oakland, where he died.

Aunt Polly, Mary Van Cleve Swaynie, daughter of John and Catharine Van Cleve, was born in Washington County, Penn., February 10, 1787. Why she is called Aunt Polly we do not know, but that is the name by which she is best know now. She was born five months before the Northwest Territory was formed; she is nine years older than Dayton, fifteen years older than the State of Ohio, and sixteen years older than Montgomery County. She, with her parents, landed at Losanteville the day the name was changed to Cincinnati; six later years, March, 1796, she left there in the pirogue with the party who came up the Miami River, landing at the head of St. Clair street, Dayton, April 1, 1796, and has livedin Dayton ever since. She attended school in 1799 and 1800, at the block-house that stood in Main street at the river bank, and can tell of events happening in every stage of the county's improved and substantial condition of to-day. She was married, to John McClain, in 1804, and by him had ten children, four of whom are still living; a daughter, Mrs. Jane Swaynie, who lives with her, and three sons, who have moved away from the county. Her husband died, and on December 12, 1826, she married Robert Swaynie; they had no children. Mrs. Swaynie has been a widow for many years; her residence is No. 247 Bainbridge street, Dayton, where, for the past twenty years or more, her relatives and friends have assembled to celebrate, with her, each recurring anniversary of her birth. Aunt Polly is in reasonably good health, although, of course, her mind is not so active as formerly.

Beech Grove Freewill Baptist Church is located on the Harveysburg and Freeport Turnpike, in Massie Township. the society was organized by Elder John Hisey in the year 1849, and now numbers about fifty members. About the year 1851 a church was built on a lot donated by Wesley Warwick. Previous to this time the members worshipped in the schoolhouse and in private dwellings. In 1863, the society having largely increased, a more substantial and commodious building was erected on the same site, the old church having been removed. The original membership has now almost disappeared, many having left the neighborhood, and others died. Previous to the organization of Massie Township this church was known as the Second Church in Wayne," but it was afterwards changed to its present name. Elder John Hisey was pastor until 1879, when Edward Pemlott, a young minister, was chosen, and after retaining the charge eighteen months, left for Michigan in august 1991, since which time the church has been without a pastor. | Hisey, Rev. John (I7874)

Believed to be a son of Heinrich Zeller. We first find Peter documented by land transaction on the east side of the Massanutten in 1755. On June 13th of that year he patented 90 acres next to 28 acres Heinrich had bought from Lewis on February 28, 1750. The Zellers land was on the west bank of the Shenandoah River and had about a mile of frontage on it. Peter bought 123 acres from Heinrich on August 17, 1765. Twenty-three of this was from Heinrich's home site. He patented another 183 acres July 5, 1774, a total of 334 acres on the east side of the Massanutten.
Next, we find a Peter Sellers buying land in what is now the Mountain Valley community on the west side of the Mountain in 1791. This is a 17 year time span. This land was not so far removed from his other land, at that time, as it appears today. There was a "path" or trail road thru that early settlers traveled to Peaked Mountain Church and the McGaheysville-Elkton area from the Mountain Valley area. This Peter had a wife, Margaret.
Peter's land at Mountain Valley was a part of David Andersson's warrant for 2000 acres granted to him December 1, 1783. Peter's survey for 16 acres cites "S. W. -Stephen's corner". The old Stephen's place was on Smith's Creek between Lacey Spring and road 620 today. Road 806 is in this general area today.
This land seems to have descended to Conrad Sellers, to John Sellers, to Daniel Sellers and was sold out of the Sellers family. Leon Cave owned most of this land in 1985. A section of it along the east line descended to Amanda Layman, daughter of Daniel Sellers. Wayne Phillips owned this in 1985 and it is thus now owned by a Sellers descendant.
Many land records were burned on the wagons hauling them to safety during the Civil War. The effort to save the records resulted in their being partly destroyed. This loss of records makes it difficult to trace land transactions.
Peter furnished supplies to the militia during the American Revolution. He was active in community affairs. He was named as one of four, any three to serve, to appraise George Schulenger estate March 22, 1799; March 22, 1784 for Frederick Haynes, and June 28, 1784 James Madley's estate.
He and Adam Zellers were named executors of Christian Teeters' will August 23, 1784. He was a member of the Grand Jury in 1785. Augustine Price and Frederick Armentrout processioned Peter's land 1767-68.
Like his brothers John and Adam, Peter furnished livestock and food to the American forces from 1780 to 1782. He received payment for all three years provisions in November 1783.

Biography of Susannah Rebecca (Harman) Brown
AKA Susannah Rebecca Harman/Harmon
Near Foxville, Fredrick County, Maryland
Copyright 2012 by M. Alan Brown
...Susannah Rebecca (Harman) Brown was born April 30, 1775 in Fredrick County, Maryland the daughter of Marcus (Mark) Harman Jr. who was born about 1730 and whose ancestors were originally from Dresden, Germany, and Christina (Leatherman) Harman who was born around 1732, the two were married about 1755. Christina had previously been married to a Christian Gates (also spelled Getz/Goetz/Gotz) and they had two children Barbara Gates born in 1750 who married Peter Smith/Schmidt on December 29, 1795, she died two years later in 1797; and Jacob Gates born around 1753 who married Rosina or Roseanna. Jacob died August 17, 1842 and is buried in the Foxville Lutheran 4 cemetery and his wife Roseanna died September 2, 1845 and is also buried in the Foxville Lutheran 4 cemetery. Susannah was the sister of Christian Harman who was born May 18, 1771, he married Mary (Anna Maria) Morningstar in 1788 and he died April 18, 1843, Elizabeth Harman; Catherine Harman; and Christina/Christiana Harman was born in 1778 and who married Johan Henrich (Henry) Stempel/Stemple on March 9 or 11, 1798; and the stepsister of Barbara Gates and Jacob Gates. At the time of her birth she would have lived on her father's land being a 30 acre tract in the Catoctin Mountains called "Nolin Mountain or Nole in Mountain" or on a 36 acre tract of land her father purchased July 30, 1774 called "Jacob's Spring." Part of this property is located in what is now Cunningham Falls State Park. It is interesting to note that from the original Brown property, now part of the Brown Farm Environmental Study Area in Catoctin Mountain Park, you can walk on the Brown Farm Trail, cross Manahan Road, pick up the Catoctin Trail, cross Park Central Road and follow it down to Route 77, cross the road and continue straight down the hill to Cunningham Falls. Susannah's father Marcus was in the lumber business and he operated a sawmill on his land. He also had an orchard from which they distilled cider and brandy to sell. The sawmill was located on Big Hunting Creek at the fork of Catoctin Hollow road, then called Harman Hollow road, and route 77. This property was across Route 77 not far from where the Blue Blazes Whiskey Still was located. When her father Marcus died prior to October 11, 1797, he left Susannah 100 pounds current money and the remainder of the bonds and loose estate being shared with her mother and her natural sisters. Susannah's mother Christina also died in 1797 but it is unknown if she died before or after Marcus.
...Sometime around 1793 or 1794, Susannah married Thomas Brown Jr. and they resided on the old Brown Homestead off of Manahan Road, probably the tract of land called "Round Meadow," or the tract of land called "Stones Enough." Together Susannah Rebecca and Thomas Brown Jr. had ten children. Thomas Brown III, who was born 1795 and baptized October 11, 1795, he married Susan McAfee, (a native of Pennsylvania) in 1838 and they removed to Bethel Township, Miami County, Ohio; Elizabeth Brown who was born in 1796 or 1797 married Daniel Hauver/Hauber born 1790 and died 1853 in Miami County, Ohio; Mary was born around 1797or1798 and married Christian Getz/Gates January 11, 1817 in Washington County, Maryland, he was born around 1787; Johannes (John) Brown who was born December 10, 1799 and baptized August 28, 1800, he died at the age of 21 years on October 25, 1821, and is buried next to Susan in the Brown Family Cemetery; Johann Georg (George) Brown was born March 19, 1803 and baptized April 14, 1803, he married Julian Ann Scott and they removed to Seneca County Ohio in 1835 and he died June 20, 1885, he and Julian are buried in Null cemetery, Liberty Township, Seneca County, Ohio; Catherina/Catherine who was born May 1, or May 5, 1805 and baptized July 28, 1805, she married Daniel McAfee June 7, 1826 in Washington County, Maryland, he was born February 24, 1803 in Maryland and he died in May 1, 1856 in Ohio, she died December 6, 1875 in Ohio; Susan/Susanna/Anna was born in 1806/7 and married John Barenheison which was most likely shortened to Barnes as there is no record of a Barenheison except for the estate record of Thomas Brown Jr., and other records state that Susan/Susanna or Anna married a Barnes, Sarah A. Brown was born August 20, 1812 and married William Martin July 31, 1831 in Tiffin, Seneca County, Ohio, he died August 29, 1855 and she died May 26, 1864 both in Salt Lake City, Utah; William H. Brown who was born March 18, 1813 and married Catherine who was born November 7, 1813, and who died June 12, 1847 in Greencastle, Pennslyvania, he died March 27, 1886 in Greencastle, Pennsylvania; Christian Brown was born April 28, 1815 and baptized September 15, 1815, he removed to Seneca County, Ohio with his brother George in 1835 and he married Susannah Shaull July 12, 1840 in Seneca County, Ohio, Christian died July 2, 1847 in Liberty Township, Seneca County, Ohio but is buried in the Louden cemetery in Montpelier, Ohio;
...Susannah's husband, Thomas Brown Jr., worked in a tavern near Harman's Gap that was probably owned by his uncle William. After Susannah's brother Christian died in 1843 there was a long dispute over the Harman family land that lasted for 35 years called the Battle of Harman's Gap. This was recorded in 1970 in the Catoctin Enterprise under the heading THE SPIRIT OF CATOCTIN by Frank Mentzer, Superintendent, Catoctin Mountain Park. Susannah died June 14, 1831 and is buried in the Brown family cemetery next to her husband Thomas Brown Jr. In her will dated January 29, 1828, the only thing that she requested was that her black girl Teresa be set free.
