Correction, I should have shown Placidus Noel as 1854-1944 not 1854-1880.

I looked at everything I have on hand and the only thing I can come up with on Grundy is as follows. "1840 CENSUS AND INDEX TUSCARAWAS COUNTY OHIO"
Head of   Family             males 10 <15       40 <50   females <5     5 <10        30 <40

It's a long shot, but they did move around a lot in those days and Joseph could be a brother of Mary Grundy? There are a lot of vets in this area to.

"Blossy" and Mary's head stones are shown on D.N.'s page at St. V.'s I have her dad' Charles Brogan Sr.'s "estate" settlement.
Charles was born 1761 in Ireland. In his last days, he lived with Blasius Noel and Mary. J.P.Noel , your great grandpap was 5'  5" tall,.dark hair, dark eyes. He weighed about 160 pounds so I get the feeling he was "sturdy" although he did suffer all his life apparently with C.W. problems. Again, I think most of them did, by the records I have on them. Sylvester, died from his C.W. ailments about 1873? J.P.'s brother. J.P. states in his record that he knows how old he is because his parents recorded it in their Bible. (He ID's them as Blausius and Mary) His sister "The Murphy one I think it was" she says she knew how old he was because she was "8" when he was born !!! "take that eh!" At the 11th regiments monument at Gettysburg,(see DN's page)
at the foot of the soldier there is their mascot's statue "Sally, the war dog" When I snapped that picture, people were still leaving biscuits and bones for the dog. One bone had a note on it "Sally, for a job well done". She had about 6 litters of pups during the war, and Lincoln actually met her twice. She got lost after the Gettysburg scrap and they found her with her dead troops that had got overrun the first day. (Emanuel Noel, J.P. and Sylvester's cousin was captured that day.) Neither J.P. nor Sylvester made it to the Gettysburg battle. The only one that has any details in J.P.'s file, is Rose C. Noel, she cared for J.P. faithfully in his last days.

After reviewing the "STORM" tree, I came to the conclusion that Sylvester Noel of the 11th Pa. Inf. in the Civil War (Son of Blasius and brother of Placidus NOEL) should have got at least an honorable mention as the first husband of Ellen STORM shown as married to Brady McCullogh, since she was the recipient of Sylvester's pension after Brady died. (Sylvester isn't mentioned at all). Sylvester died June 5th 1871 from disease contracted during the war. Brady died 4th of July 1908
Ellen (STORM)(NOEL) McCullogh died March 20th 1939

Sylvester Noel married a Ellen Storm in the Civil War era, Sylvester died young as a result of disease picked up during the war. He was my gr-grandfather Placidus (Plotsey) Noel's brother. This is fun just reading the names, "aint" it.NOEL's and LOGSDON's must have been pretty close because a SAMUEL LOGSDON and Sylvester's brother John P. NOEL witnessed the signature of Ellen as the claimant for his pension when Sylvester died.

Emanuel NOEL (Sylvester's cousin) married a Margaret A. LOGSDON daughter of Raphael  LOGSDON and Rebecca nee MATTINGLY of Westmoreland County, Pa. Witnesses were Sylvester J. NOEL and Mathilda Anna HENRY. Taken from the Matrimonial Records of St. Vincent's Abbey Church and as included in Emanuel's Civil War records.

Sylvester and Emanuel NOEL were both in the 11th Pa. Vol. Inf. Reg. in the Civil War, Sylvester was released due to illness from which he never fully recovered, and Emanuel was a "veteran" (more than one enlistment). Emanuel was captured during the first day of battle at Gettysburg and paroled same time frame. These people were all members of St. Vincents in Latrobe, Pa.(Their ancestors helped build the place.) My guess is that they moved from Adams County Pa. and Maryland to Westmoreland County together.(not entirely a guess!, some proof) In closing this e-mail, the "Maryland Historical Society" has a history of the LOGSDON family which may be viewed by the public in their files, and I've been saying for a while now, that I'd like to read that. They go way back in Maryland.

 Without locales and dates it is difficult to say if my line of Speas/Spiess/Speiss/Spiece/Speece/Speace, etc., is connected to your line or not. However, I must say, I have not seen this spelling of your SPEASS  before.  This is not to say that there is  not a connection.

My line was in PA and migrated to Ontario, Canada.  Think they were first in the Haldimad (not sure of spelling) and then to the York Co. Markham area of Ontario.

They came to Michigan circa 1838 and settled in the Shiawassee Co. area.

In short, is this John, the dad of Blasius(1814-1878)? Is Jr. above his brother???

Nick and Mary (Pollock) Noel had a kid named Abraham G. Noel, born 1785 in Paradise Twp. Adams County Pa.
I found a George, a Francis and a Susan NOEL in some of the Carroll County Catholic Cemetery's last night. I also spotted an Abraham NULL with a long list of relatives buried in one of the non-Catholic cemeteries there. I didn't check out the ignificance of these folk yet though. There are a lot of familiar names planted there. I found them in the USGENWEB Project for Maryland by going through a link off of those Pa. County pages I've been looking through.

Corporal John P. NOEL of the 11th Pa. Volunteer Inf. Reg. (Oldest of the Pa.Regt's.) was one of Blasius (1814-1878) NOEL's boys, along with Sylvester, David and Placidus. He was best man at Sylvester and Ellen (STORM) NOEL's wedding.
From the civil war records of Sylvester NOEL.

1) Blaze (Blasius Noel) had no connection with the Storm's (married a SPIES) yet they lived close by (Troublesome  Job). J.S. sold parts of this at different times, Blossy probably bought some.

2) Blaze is listed (count em) three times in John Storms will, he either owes John, or John owes him, I haven't figured it out yet. (the language used).

3) There is a John NOLL/or NULL also listed I forget which, with the same situation as 2) above. (Blossy is also spelled three different ways in the will.)

4) John NOEL is the only real connection with the STORM's via Mary Maggie.

5) M.M. received a 5th share of J.S.'s land in Huntington County Pa. along with a sizable chunk of cash.

In short, it just appears to me that the NOEL's and STORM'S were a pretty close knit bunch and they were probably still in Md., when J.S. died in 1805 and even later. The final accounting of J.S.' will wasn't until after Elizabeth died about 1815.

Note also, that John Storm is buried at the Conewago Chapel graveyard?



19 May 1998  <Webrene1@aol.com>
1) I have an 1860 census record that states Joachim was born in Maryland, and we already know he was born in 1812. Census lists him as 47 years old.
2) I don't know right off where Blasius of 1814 was born but am starting to think it  was Maryland also.
3) Also don't know where the other two of JOHN NOEL's kids were born?

Facts:
1) John STORM wrote will in 1798 and leaves Mary Maggie some money and eighth part of his property in "Huntington" county, she also gets the eighth part of his personal property.
2) First accounting is 1807, estate receives cash money from JOHN "NULL"and BLAZE "NOEL" among others.
3) I don't have the second accounting but might consider sending for it.
4) Third accounting Aug. 1815, Elizabeth STORM is now deceased.  Bond on Blosey "NOELL"?  It's noted here that John STORM died 4 Oct. 1796.
    Next it states: Money paid to Elizabeth by BLASEUS NOEL, and
others...........
    The following each received 608.10.5? from the estate........."MAGDALENA"
wife of "JOHN NOEL"  THEY WERE PROBABLY STILL IN MARYLAND AT THIS TIME?

Note that John STORM mentions his property in "HUNTINGTON" county...."Cambria" county was formed from Huntington and others in 1804, after John STORM wrote his will thus my theory is that his property was actually in what is now CAMBRIA County. And since JOACHIM is listed in the 1860 census as born in MARYLAND, I suspect that JOHN NOEL didn't leave MARYLAND with the kids until after his Mum Elizabeth died in 1815 or later??



21 May 1998 <Webrene1@aol.com>

I got BLOSSY'S will in the mail today, and not once is he referred to as BLOSSY or BLOSS, just the proper BLASIUS.
Just a few things off the top of me head, then you can ask questions:
1) He wrote it in 1831 but final (5th) accounting wasn't till 1854 believe it or not!
2) "She" couldn't find the 4th accounting.
3) A "John Adelsparger" was a co-executor, the other guy "Joseph Wivell" flat     refused the job!
4) Mary Ann got all his real estate consisting of 100 acres "Landstool" and part of a tract of land consisting of 50 acres "wherein I now dwell"called "Troublesome Job".
5.) After Mary Ann's death, land is to be sold at public or private sale.
Personal Property the same with one share each as follows:
    JOSEPH, JOHN, PETER, JACOB, BLASIUS, MICHAEL, 4 GRANDCHILDREN
    (These are CHRISTOPHER'S who died before the will was written),
    MARY MAGDALENA (LANSINGER) and CATHERINE(OBOLDT)
6.) SEBASTIAN OBOLT bought some of the real estate and so did LEVI KREBS
7.) His widow MARY ANN is only mentioned a couple of times, then is referred to as deceased.
8.) It's all readable, but some of the script tends to throw you. You have to remember that what looks like (fs) is in the old script a double s (ss). For example, the word "possession", shows up as "pofsefsion"..........get it?
9.) There are no references to spouses except for the girls as shown above.

I just got the "FREDERICK COUNTY WILLS 1744-1946" book in the mail today. Thats what I wanted to tell you, if we can find out the name of Christopher SPEASS' wifes, guess what? We have then found Peter's wifes name! It was Christopher SPEASS, son of Wolfgang, brother of Mary Ann(Wife of BLOSSY) that married Margaret NOEL after Peter/Pierre died. Christopher and Blossy were co-executors of Wolfgangs will.

Blasius Noel names his wife Mary, (she is definitely BROGAN) They had:
  John P. NOEL CPL. 11th Pa vol.inf. reg.
  Sylvester is not named since he died of disease contracted in the civil war in about 1870 or 71 (He was married to Ellen  STORM) he also was in the 11th Pa.Vol.'s
   Elizabeth (married Samuel LOGSDON)
   David
   Placidus (married Anise America Libengood)
   Agnes (married James Murphy) she received plot of land #5  Note that Agnes is written in the margin of the will here by
someone??? In the will writeup, he refers to "My daughter intermarried with James Murphy" Later, "I do give unto my daughter NANCY the right of way through Plot#4 along the Burkholder line to the public road".

Based on the above, I think it's safe to assume that Nancy and Agnes are one and the same.

Pa. Records Bedford County
Pioneers of Old Monocacy Early Settlement of Frederick County 1721-1743

Several Mennonite periodicals that reference LEIBENGUTH's (good stuff)
There was a John C. "bella hans" LEIBENGUTH who's wagon wheels and runninggear are still kept at one of the Historical Museums, maybe Somerset Co.?? It seems that they used to have bells on their wagons, and if they got in trouble along the highway, and needed help, they had to turn over their bells to the wagoneer that helped them out. Thus the origin of the phrase "I'll be there with bells on". In the case of John C., the kids would hear his bells ring in the distance and would come running in the house shouting "Do komt der bella hans". Peter Leibenguth supposedly was the first to bring a Conestoga Wagon west of
the mountains, and his daughter Elizabeth was the second born in Somerset Co. or so the legends say? I don't know of any connection yet to these folk though? (He was a Swiss chap) These books, I either have, or they're on the way!

5 Sep 1998 Look'n through another page on Pa. troops in the civil war (78th reg.), their chaplain was a Roman Catholic Priest named Richard C. CHRISTY, which the troops (protestant mostly) resented, but soon changed their minds after they got to know him. The page had his portrait and also some of the troops' portraits. (Joachim NOEL married a CHRISTY!).

 The John C. "bella hans" LIVENGOOD's wagon wheels and running gear are located in the Spring, Pa. historical society.

I recently snapped a picture of Johanes Storm's tombstone at the Sacred Heart Basilica at Conewago, McSherrytown, Pa. He was married to Maria Elizabeth Tanner their daughter Mary Magdalene Storm married John Noel, son of Blasius Noel of
Maryland.

From the records that we have, from parish records in Klein Schifferstadt, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, Johannes was baptized there.  Sonsors included. From the headstone his birth has be calculated at 21 jan 1723  from the parrish records his christening 31 jan 1723.  I would say this is strong evidence that these are the same person.

 John Storm's oldest brother Johan Jacob Sturm and his sister (married to Johan Jacob Brunner) came over on the ship "Mortonhouse" in 1728. Later, the rest of their families came over including Johannes Sturm (after he grew up!) and
Joseph Brunner, the father of the above Johan Jacob Brunner. With that in mind, take a look at the following URL, it's a good one. It's got me all the way back to ~1600 with Sebastian Sturm and his bride "Fraulein Closs".

 I got Henry LIVENGOOD's civil war papers the other day, the problem is he was only 18 1/2 yr's old when he enlisted, I needed someone more in the range of about 50 or 51 yr's old in 1865. All I know for sure is this one enlisted at Greensburg and had a younger brother C.C.LIVENGOOD, and a wife Nancy Jane (Walker) LIVENGOOD.??


9 Oct 1998         Webrene1@aol.com
Did I tell you there is a Wolffgang and a Catherine ? Spies that had a daughter Anna Magdalena baptized in 1746 at St. Paul's, Bally, Goshenhoppen, Berks County, Pa. Sponsor was A. Bechtl.   ??  I got that from B.B.O'keefe's compilation.


12 Oct 1998         Webrene1@aol.com
I went into B.B.O'Keefe's surname page the other night and plugged in LIVENGOOD to search on and a slew of them popped up, NOEL,STORM,SPIES,TANNER,DURBIN,LOGSDON etc. Reading the above pages, took me through the LIVENGOODS and complete circle from Fayette and Greene and Washington Counties, Pa. back to Frederick County,
Md. by way of a common connection with the HUFFMAN/HOFFMAN line.Seems a HUFFMAN was married to Johannes BRUNNER (these were intermarried with STORM lines) and these same HUFFMAN's had property in the middle of TASKER's Choice/Chance also. Tasker's was the original DULANEY purchase which formed and was divided up among many BRUNNER'S,STORMS',HUFFMAN'S etc. and is presently the town of FREDERICK. Some of the DURBIN's were the originals that came over with Lord Baltimore, and some were Catholic's as was Baltimore, if I remember the Durbin page
correctly??

I have very limited info on Henry Leibenguth - and I don't think he is the same one as you mention (perhaps your Henry's father?).

I have: Henry Leibenguth (b. circa 1776, d ?), son of George Leibenguth (b. 1741 in Pa., died 1814).  married Catherine George.  Lived in Derry Twp., Westmoreland Co. Pa.

Per Deed Release, 6 July 1837 at Northampton Co. Courthouse: Henry Leibengood of Derry Twp, Westmoreland Co. do acknowledge that Daniel and Philip Leibegood both of Lehigh Twp in Northampton Co Pa.  The sum of $850. in full satisfaction for my share and portion due from the estate of my late father, George Leibenguth of Lehigh Twp.

children:

Christopher  b.  1796 Northampton Co.
Catharine      b.  1799 or 1804 in Northampton Co. (an LDS sheet shows 1804,
a book "The Doty/Doten Family in America"  shows 1799) m. Andrew Doty

Henry
James
 

Judy White judyhw@msn.com is the source of the marriage and the first 2 listed children.

The last two children are from an email from Kathy Zima (see below).

Northampton Co.  Pa. tax records list a Henry Leibenguth in Lehigh Twp during 1796 & 1797, owing .25 of tax for each year.
I don't quite know where Jacob fits in.  I do have a Jacob, also son of George, but don't have any indication that he relocated to Westmoreland area: Jurg Jacob Leibenguth (baptized 20 May, 1764, 8 days old last Thursday, in Egypt, Pa. per records of Rev. Daniel Schumacher)

There is a Jacob Leibengut, single freeman owing 0.12.6 in tax - Lehigh Twp, 1786.

Most intriguing is form the book: Abstracts of Rev. War. pension Files by Virgil D. White.  Vol. II, pub. 1991, National Historic Publishing Co, Waynsboro, TN. page 2077 :

Libengood, Jacob (Leibengod) Pa. Line b. 1756 in Northampton Co.  Married Margaret Chambers on 15 March 1801 in Westmoreland Co. d. 6 April 1849 in Indiana Co. Pa.  Lived with parents when he enlisted and after the War, then he moved to Westmoreland Co., then in 1812 he moved to Indian Co. Applied for pension on 27 Dec 1842. Widow applied on 17 nov 1854 in Indiana Co. at age 73 and for BLW on June 12 1858 in Indiana Co. W8 253 BLW#82540-160-55
 

In the Pa Archives Series 6 Vol 3: Class Roll of Cpt Friderich Kunss Co. Aprill 18, 1785: group 5 Jacob Leibengood group 6 George Leibengood

My take on all of this:  The date of birth stated in the Rev. War pension records (1756) is incorrect (this would be a very common error - especially considering he would have been 94 yrs old when he died).  I believe 1764 is the correct date.  Jacob, lived with parents during and a short time after serving in the Rev. War along side his father, George.  Jacob moved to Westmoreland Co soon after the War (probably late 1780's) where he married Margaret Chambers in 1801, then moved to Indiana Co. in 1812.    Younger brother, Henry moved to Westmoreland Co. Pa. soon after Jacob did - perhaps buying Jacob's land(??).

I did some research over the internet and found the following:

1807 tax list, Conemaugh Twp, Indiana Co. Jacob Libengood, yeoman

Index 1820 census - Indiana Co. Jacob Livengood, Conemaugh Twp, (p 10)

Index 1830 census - Indiana Co. Jacob Libengood - Conemaugh Twp, (p 195)
 

Jacob Libengood 40th P. Volunteers, 11th Reserves - Company E enlisted on 21 June 1861 wounded in action discharged 17 Dec. 1862 (this is the one you think might be your Henry's son)



28 Nov 1998      Webrene1@aol.com
I got Jacob Leibengood's papers and he is definintely Anise America Libengood's brother. He was shot above the ankle, again in the area of the knee on the other leg, and across the side of the head with the ball exiting his left ear, all in the same battle of "Gaines Mill". He was discharged on account of the wounds, but re-enlisted in the signal corps and again discharged in July 1865. Around 1907, the pension people questioned him on the spelling of his name, and made in return his pension
vouchers because of the mis-spelling "Libengood" which he stated should be "LEIBENGOOD". They were paying him twelve bucks a month at the time. Their own records show as follows: LEYBENGOOD, LEIBENGOOD, LEVENGOOD, LIVENGORD. LIVERGOOD, LIBENGOOD, LIEBENGOOD, LIVINGOOD etc.etc.
I expect John P.  and Jonas NOEL'S papers any day now.


29 Nov 1998        Webrene1@aol.com
Be careful, Blasius of Md.'s daughter Mary Magdalene was married to a Lansinger, and Catherine to an Oboldt. Also, I think this Catherine is the same person as the mysterious Caty, Marilyn Waterman shows them as two distinct persons.


29 Nov 1998         Webrene1@aol.com
Marilyn states that Eliza Anne NOEL was raised by her grand parents John and Mary Maggie NOEL.

Joachim was born 1812 (my mistake), he married Mary A. Christe (first wife) in 1832 in Lorretto, Cambria County. Thats the earliest date I have on him in the "west". According to Marilyn, John and Mary were also raising their grand-children Emanuel and Cecilia along with Eliza Ann.



29 Nov 1998         Webrene1@aol.com
Christopher of Blossy, died in Wrightsville, Pa. in 1819, was married to Esther ? Info from "Conewago" page 51, "Noel Tree" page 2 and Harve's letter of Sept. 1990 above is from Marilyn's book. This may be the earliest date in the "west". Chris's 4 kids.....not named..... together were entitled to one adult share in Bloss's will.

1) Wrightsville is in York Co. where Rte.30 crosses the Susquehanna River. If this is where Christopher died in 1819, it supports a later move west by the lads.

2) Marilyn shows Joachim married Mary A. Christe on  May 7, 1832 St. Vincent's Abbey Latrobe, not Lorretto, my mistake, this is in her book.

Marilyn also states that Blossy owned a freight hauling business in MD., maybe Chris was working for him, and died "on the road"? (He was killed while hauling Logs from a Newspaper account)

 The Noel Family....pages 32 & 33 Question:
York County, Pa. 14 May 1822 Petition of Esther, widow of Christopher Noel.  Jacob Rehman appointed guardian of children, all under age 14: Catherine, Eliza Ann. Mary, and William Noel.

The above would be the kids of Chris, mentioned in Blossy's will. Could this be the same Eliza Ann that married Charles Brogan Jr. and lived next door to some Brogan's in Westmoreland Co.

Marilyn's book questions "who were the parents of Eliza Ann Noel"? She states that she thought she was Joachim's daughter and was left out of his will due to Charles problems with the priest in Ohio.

The problem is she states that Eliza was born in 1833 which makes her pretty young for Charles who was in the Mexican War in 1846 and also the Civil War?? Also, I have no evidence that Joachim had a daughter Eliza Ann??

Summary:  If Chris's daughter and Charles Jr's wife are the same person, it supports my theory of a later (>1822) move to Westmoreland County????  Could Chris's kids be some that my John cared for??  Remember that Christopher died in Wrightsville, York County in 1819. Could John have brought Chris's kids to Westmoreland County??

Looking further in Marilyn's book, she does state that Eliza Ann (Charles Brogan Jr's wife) was raised by her "grandparents" John and Mary Magdalene. But if she was Chris's kid, they would be her Aunt and Uncle. Do you have anything that shows that Joachim had a daughter Eliza Ann?? I don't.

1) John P. said in an affidavit that he knew he was born in 1845 cause his Father and Mother, Blausius and Mary told him that's when he was born and he remembered it.No wonder he made Corporal huh.
2) John P. is buried at a Catholic Cemetery in Greensburg, so your brother may be right about the John at St. V's being Blossy's dad.
3) Theres more info, but tough reading.

John P. married Agnes Cecelia Ransil or Rancil Dec. 26th 1867 in Latrobe Pa. by Rev. Jerome Kearny (Was this St. V.'s??)....no remarriages and no divorce.  Lived together for 48 years.

Children:
Anna Noel     b. Jan.23 1870     deceased
Albert Noel    b. Oct.25 1875     living
Loretta Noel   b. Dec. 4 1877     living
Rose C. Noel b. July 8  1880     living
Note: This paper is dated March 28 1915

Rose C. took care of J.P. until he died and was buried at "Most Holy Sacrament Church" 412 North Main St., Greensburg, Pa. July 13, 1923.

John P. tended bar in Greensburg where he lived. Also was a hotel clerk.

The info in the Stevens page that he married Sarah Jane Mansfield is obviously wrong. ( there is an other John P Noel)

Note: There is an affidavit by an Alexander Moore that was sent in from McGREGOR, IOWA, Dec. 9, 1891 which was interesting.

Jonas married Lavina J. Nicely Feb. 28,1864 in Ligonier by D.S.Geeting Esq.
Children:
Nettie L.     March 1866
Wm. H.      May 30 1867
Harriet M.   Nov. 2   1868   died
Amanda J. Feb. 28 1870
Rosean      Dec 15  1871   died April 8, 1873
Edward J.   April 4, 1873
Minta J.      Sept. 11 1875
Barton (Berdie) B.    Nov. 16 1877
Milton J.(Joseph M.) Nov. 18, 1879
Harry O.     July  18, 1884.

Jonas had his front teeth kicked out by a mule at Antietam, Had two fingers broken when kicked by a horse. Note: Jonas was hostler for the Colonel at Headquarters. Jonas was a farmer all his life and had different people work for him and he also worked for other people. One of those he worked for was the grandfather of a guy that gave an affidavit. The grandfather also gave an affidavit and his name was Samuel Logsdon.

Jonas said he wound up in the hospital when he got his teeth kicked out "I was hurt, but not senseless". Said when he got up he ran away from the hospital and returned to his unit. Most of his affidavits refer to him as "a little fellow". 5'4"   126 lb.    fair hair     light complexion         blue eyes   (124 lb. when he died also)
-----------------------------------
John P. Noel 5' 5 1/2"      160 lb.     brown hair      light complexion       brown eyes

There is a sister of J.P. in there named Murphy and another Murphy probably in-law that co-witnessed an affidavit.

Neither of these two could take care of themselves when they died, but both lived a long life!

I mighta been mistaken, since I went through their papers again and only saw first name Henry's. The one exception is that Sylvester Noel and Mathilda Anna Henry were witnesses at Emanuel Noel's wedding. Emanuel married Margaret Logsdon daughter of Raphael Logsdon. Raphael is probably either the son or brother of Samuel Logsdon that John P. Noel worked for at one time as stated in Sam's affidavit. That's all I saw on HENRY'S anyway.

Note: Both John P. and Jonas show in their physical's that they received gun-shot wounds. I think there were probably a lot of these went un-reported, since neither one of them got any credit toward their pensions due to these wounds. For that matter, neither did Emanuel who got shot in the left breast.



14 Jan 1999         Dominic <noel@mcn.org>
I came across this again and this is the reason that I believe that John Noel who's wife was Petronilla and whose child was Mary b in Jan, bapt the 1st 1804; SP  Simon Ruffner and Margaret Griffy  was the same John of Derry.

Margaret Noel of Joseph and Margaret Noel, b 25 June, bapt 4 Sept 1809; Sponsors < Simon Ruffner and Margaret Griffy. >

John Noel and Mary Kuhn sponsored Peter Zindorff of George and Anna Zindorff, b 12 Oct, evidently of the preceding year, bapt 24 April 1803. Note! This John could be the son of Nicholas Noel both of whom went to Loretto. Although the Zindorff's interacted with all the Noel's.

Margaret Griffy/Griffin was the mother of Joseph Noel's  wife. Patrick, her husband was alive in April 1805.

Nore! This John is still a mystery.



15 Jan 1999         Webrene1@aol.com
The only difference with John & Petronilla is that my stuff comes from BBO's compilation of the records of St. V.'s (Helbron registers). Hers only show a difference in the sponsor. It still doesn't show who this John is??

Maria Noel was baptized Aug.6th 1834 at Saint Simon & St.Jude in Blairsville. (Daughter of Joachim and Anna Criste "ink is faded and unclear") why did they do that? (ref. Harvey in Marilyn's book)

Susan's papers show that Blossy of  MD. was in his 80's in the 1830 census which I don't think can be disputed, so we should probably throw out his 1762 b. date eh? He died 1832/3?

Did I send you the estate settlement of Charles Brogan Sr.?? Did you notice there is reference to a John Noel Sr. in there?? In the German tradition, there wouldn't have to be a father and son, this is just to distinguish an older one from any younger one!

Blossy's son Jacob b.ca 1792 was married to Barbara O'bold, daughter of Joseph O'bold. Marilyn's book. (Info. from "Conewage" page 51, "Noel Tree" page 2 and Harve's letter 1990. I believe it was Catherine that also md. an O'boldt

John P. Noel lived at: 318 Oakland Ave., Greensburg, Pa. So did his daughter Rose C. Noel when he died, the house is probably still there?? The priest' name at Most Holy Sacrament Church signed as Rev. Linus Brugger, Pastor

Mrs. Agnes F. Murphy (his sister) testified to his age, saying she knew it since she was 8 years old when he was born, and also from the Family Register. There are also Ella J. Murphy and a Margaret Murphy sworn in and witnessed. I believe we were in contact with a Murphy girl that enquired about Blasius a few months back, do you remember her?? I think she was to have a very serious operation, and I haven't heard from her since?? Agnes Cecelia Noel nee "Ransil" died April 15th 1918 wife of J.P.Noel died April 13, 1923

These that I'm sending are only the ones that the priest had marked in red! I found an additional NOEL in thr process of sorting these out that he over looked. The pages he sent are by no means all of their records, just the surnames I asked for, you can tell this by the page numbers and let me say that he had to work to sort out what he sent me!

All I know about that lot is that my Joe Weber was born 1855 in Hessen, notheast of Frankfurt am Main, came to the U.S. of A. in 1870. He was supposed to have written letters back and forth with his pap Henry Weber, spouse of Felicitas Stehling Weber. Was naturalized in 1871, and proceded making his thirteen kids. His wifes name was Theresa/Tarissa  oldbach/Goldbaugh who was born also im vaterland, sprung from Bernet/Bernard Goldbach/Goldbaugh and Sophia Bott Goldbach/Goldbaugh. Was a laborer and a plummer's helper, I think he worked for his kids. By the way, I think "Uncle Lee"(NOEL) my grand-ma's brother of The Spanish American War fame was a plummer along with the rest of them. They belonged to St. Joseph's Church in Duquesne where I myself was baptized. I also have his picture. NOTE: There is a Felicitas Stehling in the familytreemaker all by herself listed on a CD.


18 Jan 1999  Webrene1@aol.com
I did a little of that triangulation and cross check'n and get this, Blossy and Mary Ann were sponsors for a John Waterson's kid at St.Joeseph's. John Waterson is also shown in John Storm's will. So I threw his name in the hat at familytreemaker and lo and behold, he shows up on the Mackey page in Blairesville, Indiana County, PA. Who is this masked man??

I found a Joachim STORM and a Jno. NOEL, one above the other in the Bedford County Census of 1810

Joachim Storm is also in the 1820 census of Bedford County, same township.  This time it's spelled Joakim STORNE with a * which means the spelling is ??

I made another discovery last night, Roger Brooke Taney also swore into office, none other than honest Abe himself !!

By the way, Joachim STORM is Mary Maggie's brother, she is Blasius' 1814-1878's ma.

1747 Cathar. Dorin and had 6 sons and seven daughters,
of whom 3 daughters died.  Married second April 8, 1779
Phillippina SPIESS. One half year before his death he was
lamed by a stroke and lay paralyzed from then on in his bed,
took a fever and died Aug. 9 at 10:30 p.m.,  aged 79 years,
6 months, 23 days.

father, Conrad Spiess, the mother, N.N.  Married Jan. 22, 1750
and had in 52 years of married life 8 sons and 4 daughters, of
whom 1 son and 1 daughter died. Became sick from constipation
and died Sept. 4 at 3:30 p.m. , aged 72 years, 2 months, 18 days.

I don't imagine this will do you any good, but you never know where
it could fit in. In researching my SPEAKS line I have found references
to other spellings such as SPEASS. While there aren't too many obvious
SPIES references, there are more SPEAKS. It really is a wonder there
was any uniformity at all for a time when even the census takers were
illiterate.

I did come across the following in a 1837 Tax List of Carroll County, Taneytown District:
Noal, Blassey (heirs) - no tract name - no house listed- 100 acres.

Note that this John P. Noel is not the brother
of Sylvester, Placidus and David as some list
him as. I'm not sure who he is??
Their brother John P. stayed with the same
chick for many years!

It seems there are two Henry Leibengood's in
Derry at the same time.
Henry D. m. Elizabeth Palmer and
Henry Jr. m. Mary Ann Willets
It's giv'n me fits sort'n it out.
A Mrs. Leibengood shows up on the
1867 atlas. This one is mine, Elizabeth Palmer Leibengood.
Once I figure out who Henry D.'s dad is, I will be
able to get all the way back to Das BOAT !!
Cause they are all definitely related, I figured that much out.

I have Sylvester died at "Penn Station, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania" on the 5th of June 1871.

He died of disease contracted while with Co. K. 11th Pa. Vol. Inf. Regiment.after the Civil War.

Married Ellen Storm the 5th of Oct. 1869 at St. Augustine Church in Cambria County by the Rev. Edward Burns, Pastor of St. Augustine. They had no kids, he may have had nieces? taking care of him, cause he was mighty sick, and refused to see a doctor thinking it wouldn't do him any good even though his mother (Mary Brogan Noel) told him to go. (Per his brother Placidus Noel's testimony).

The last mail I saw on this said one of the two girls was named Ellen, and I suggested at that time that Ellen was probably his wife ! Sounds like the same Sylvester to me !

That tiny little note you sent me that had the number 983
on it...well I sent it to Indiana County and received their
reply today, about 15 pages 8 1/2"X 17" each.

Henry D., George, Mary Ann and Margaret (the widow)
and a son-in-law signed off as approving
Christopher Leibengood and Nathaniel Nesbitt as
executors of  Jacob Leibengood's estate. It's all there!!

Note that in the inventory/sale, Nathaniel Nesbitt bought
Jacob's family Bible...I'd sure like to see that eh!
Jacob still owed about $50 bucks for his pension
application efforts.....The lawyers I guess eh !!
This was all done in 1849 thru 1851.

The moral of the story is that the smallest clues
sometimes yield the greatest results huh?

 Are you sure your "Molly" was "O'brian", and not Molly McBride?

"Ruffners of Pa. and collateral lines"
             1743-1978
                   by
      Jane S. Sweinberger

"The story has been handed down in the family that Molly
McBride, together with another unknown girl, ran away from her
home in Ireland to come to the colonies. On their way to the ship they
heard soldiers approaching and, frightened, hid under a hedge until
the soldiers were gone. The two girls continued on their walk to the
ship where they agreed to go as Redemtioners. (111) Upon arrival,
Molly was bonded to the service of a "strict Presbyterian" who was
trying to convert her away from Catholicism when she met Patrick
Griffin, a freeman, who fell in love and wanted to marry her. He
agreed to pay her master the balance due on her bond so that Molly
would be free to marry.

Margaret Chambers is the wife of Jacob Leibengood (My 3rd gr-grandparents). I've been getting tons of info on them
lately, extremely interesting info. Jacob was shot in the back of his shoulder at the battle of Brandywine. (obviously they were surrounded eh!!) He also served as a sergeant in the Westmoreland County Militia for the last time in 1794 at Reynolds fort/or blockhouse? I think that's what it was.


30 Jun 1999     Webrene1@aol.com
That's correct, Blossy's daughter was Mary Magdalene (Lansinger). And I believe that with the old writing, that Mary M~ Lansinger could easily be misread or miswritten as Mary McLauringen. Note that Lansinger/Linsinger is fairly common in those parts.

By the way, those NOEL'S/NOLL's were from St. Agnes' Mifflin Twp. Don't forget, my Grandpap Ludovik Weber married one, Mary Noll/Noel, and may even have been  named after that Ludovik NOEL

Who are Ludovik and Rosina NOLL?? 1884 and 1888 respectively, they sponsored siblings of my grandpap Louis Weber and the children of Johann Heinrich Weber my great grandpap??
