Thank you very much for replying and for all of your wealth of research and information about the Congleton families.

Since I found this website recently, it has helped me piece together Bazel Congleton's family better. I am hoing someone may know his wife's maiden name or her parents names. And I am interested to find out more about his daughter, Ann Congleton + her husband,Sanuel Javins Lanham, + possible children.

From the census of 1850 + 1860 in Kanawha County, (West )Virginia. Bazel Congleton + wife, Lucinda had the following children:

1. Clarissa Congleton born 1833 in Virginia
2. Martha Frances Congleton born 1835 in Virginia
From her death certificate it lists that she was
married to Alphonso D Summers, son of Jacob Summers + Mary Oliver.
3. William Congleton born 1837 in Virginia
4. Almeda Congleton born 1841 in Virginia
5. Thomas L Congleton born 1842 in Virginia

Bazel Congleton's son, William Congleton moved to Jackson County, Ohio around late 1860's + married Lucy Law in 1869 and had 2 daughters. She may have died soon after because he married Margaret Whitlock, daughter of Preston Whitlock + Mary Martin. Margaret Whitlock was first married to George Oiler in Kanawha County, West Virginia + had 3 sons. Then she married William Congleton in 1876 and had 3 daughters. One of them is my great grandmother Grace Lucinda Congleton.
William Congleton died from lung fever in 1883.
I don't know what happened to Margaret Whitlock Oiler Congleton after that. Grace Congleton married Lew Ira Walker, son of George Alexander Walker + Mary Frances Dudley around 1893.
They lived in the town of Jackson, Jackson County, Ohio and had 16 children.
Bazel Congleton's daughter, Martha Frances, passed away in 1933 at the age of 98 in Galipolis, Gallia County, Ohio. Her death certificate lists Ann Marshall as her mother.

I am interested in finding out more about Bazel Congelton's parents, grandparents, as far back as we can find. And also their descendants to help fill in the Congleton family tree.
Thanks for anyone's help and interest.

Re: Moses Congleton - father of Basil?

msvnhrn — 2010-03-05 19:26:54Z

Moses Congleton was not the father of Bazil Wells Congleton. Bazil was the son of William Congleton, probably Moses's older brother. This William Congleton probably married three times. His first wife being the mother of Bazil Wells Congleton. His second wife was an unknown daughter of Thomas Graham / Grimes, and the sister of Moses Congleton's wife Mary Graham / Grimes. They had one son, Thomas Graham Congleton, mentioned in his Graham grandfather's will, along with Moses's son of the same name. As his third wife, William married Nancy M. Stamper in 1806. She was the mother of Susan, Eliza and Mary Congleton.
William Congleton died before April 1826. All of his children are named in the deed selling his property in Jackson County, Indiana in 1826. That deed was posted on this message board 28 June 1999. You will also want to look at the other Congleton documents posted on this board at about the same time. They prove the above mentioned relationships, conclusively.

Re: William Congleton, b. abt 1765, New Jersey; d. 1843, Guernsey County, Ohio

msvnhrn — 2010-02-27 17:35:49Z

I am a descendant of William Congleton's oldest son, John, probably by a first unknown wife. Jane being the second wife and mother of his other 5, possibly 6 children.

Unless circumstances are unusual, I usually do not research the families the siblings married into, other than to know who the husbands and wives were.

I suggest you do basic census research for families living near the Congletons in Guernsey county for similar sounding names. At that time, spelling was quite fluid, sound was more consistant.

Congleton yDNA Project---Summer Sale

msvnhrn — 2009-06-09 23:29:55Z

For those of you who have considered DNA testing as a aid in your family research, this is an excellent opportunity to dip your toe in the water. The 37 marker yDNA test and the HVR1 mtdna test are being offered together at a very reasonable price. Please contact me at msvnhrn@jps.net for the details.

The Congleton yDNA project is specifically looking for direct male line descendants of William Congleton of Guernsey County, Ohio, to be tested. William raised his family in Guernsey County, but after his death, his remaining sons moved to Libertyville, Washington County, Ohio, where descendants of this family still live today. The oldest son, John Congleton, has no know male descendants alive today. William’s sons, James Congleton, David Congleton and William Congleton have descendants in the direct male line, still living in Washington County. It would be very helpful to this project if a member of this family joined the project.

The project has one member who is believed to descend from William Congleton of Beaufort County, North Carolina. We need a second member of this family to confirm the genetic pedigree of this line. We would also like to have a descendant of Moses Congleton of Brooke County, West Virginia, in the project. A descendant of the Congleton family of Salem and Sussex Counties in New Jersey, would also be a valuable addition to the project. Lastly there is the Congleton family of New York State and Michigan. Descendants of all these families are needed to determine if they all descend from one man, or if they are separate families.
This summer sale is a perfect opportunity to fill out the genetic pedigree chart for this family. The sale price is valid from 9 June to 24 June. The test kits must be paid for by 30 June 2009.

This project requires administrator approval before you can join. Please write to me at the above address for information on the sale, and also for the requirements for joining the project. The person tested MUST be a direct male line descendant of the immigrant ancestor.

Thank you for your reply. I was hoping to see the spelling of John Everton's name. I am wondering if the "r" might have been an "s" to make the name Eveston/Eviston. Thanks to your previous messages on the 2 William Congleton's I have thankfully determined which William my husband's family belonged to....which was the William Congleton who wrote this will. Again, thank you.

msvnhrn — 2008-04-07 22:13:25Z

What I have is the recorded copy of William Congleton's will, so it will not provide any information on John Everton's actual signature.

I want to make sure you understand this William Congleton was NOT the brother of Moses Congleton. Moses's brother, William Congleton died in Jackson County, Indiana prior to April 1826. At that time a deed was recorded in settlement of his estate that names all of his children, in Jackson County. A transcription of this deed can be found on the Congleton message board, if you go back to the early years, probably before 2000.

Many Congleton researchers have confused these two men. Both men owned property in Guernsey County between 1815 and 1821, and they had the same name. The William of this will was married to Jane [Unknown] who like her husband was born in New Jersey. Jane died in Washington County, Ohio after 1850. Moses's brother, William, was married to a lady named Nancy. I do not know what happened to Nancy, but I believe she lived out her days in Jackson County, Indiana.

I've just begun researching this side of the family; I've spent several years on my paternal and my husband's paternal lines (am back to pre-revolutionary war times). Time to start rounding out the family "bush" as I like to call it. Can I answer any questions for you? Care to share any info. regarding Florence and Gertrudes parents?

Re: CONGLETON yDNA Project

msvnhrn — 2007-11-23 19:13:25Z

The Congleton yDNA Project has been established at Family Tree DNA. In 1800, there were 5 families with the Congleton surname, in the United States, in 1850, there were 100 and in 1900 a 200. The goal of this project is to identify the genetic pedigrees of the various Congleton families, and hopefully to connect them to families in their countries of origin.

To participate in the project for yDNA testing, you MUST be a male with the CONGLETON surname, and there MUST be an unbroken line of male descent from your most distant known male Congleton ancestor. If your line of descent has been interrupted by an adoption or a female ancestor, you will not have the yDNA of your most distant documented CONGLETON ancestor.

For the holidays, Family Tree DNA has made available to surname project managers, 4 gift certificates for yDNA testing and 2 for mtDNA testing. These gift certificates will be awarded on a first come first serve basis. If not used by 31 December 2007, they will expire.

Disclaimer: As the manager of the Congleton yDNA Project I receive NO compensation or other benefits from Family Tree DNA. The time I spend analyzing test results, and helping project members with their research, I do on a voluntary basis.

If you are interested in being tested, please write me at msvnhrn@jps.net.

*********************************************************************************************************

This William Congleton was the brother of Moses Congleton of Brooke County, West Virginia, the Revolutionary War soldier. In 1833, when Moses applied for his war pension, he was asked if there was a documentary record of his birth.

*********************************************************************************************************
Question 2nd.:
Have you any record of your age; and if so, where is it?
Answer:
I have nor record of my age; and I know it from that kept in my father's family bible, which is, at this time, with my brother's family in the State of Indiana.

*********************************************************************************************************

The implication of this statement is that Moses’s brother was deacesed by 1833, and that someone in William’s family had posession of the Bible.

Moses Congleton married Martha Grimes / Graham, the daughter of Thomas Graham of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, Who died about 1806. In his will, Thomas Graham left money to Thomas Graham Congleton, the son of Moses Congleton and to Thomas Graham Congleton, the son of William Congleton.

This William Congleton was married twice, and possibly three times. His first wife, may have been the daughter of a Basil Wells, by who he had the son, Basil Wells Congleton. His second wife was the daughter of Thomas Graham, her given name is unknown, and by her he had a son, Thomas Graham Congleton.

The mother of his remaining children are believed to Nancy, who he married about 1806 in Belmont County, Ohio. They were Susan Congleton McCormack, Eliza J. Congleton, Mary Congleton and Serena Congleton Murphy.

William Congleton purchased land in Brooke County, West Virginia beginning in 1797, then in Belmont County, Ohio and lastly in Guernsey County Ohio. About 1815, he moved with his family to Jackson County, Indiana. After moving to Indiana, he sold land in Guernsey County. That deed shows he was living in Jackson County, Indiana at the time of the sale.

This William Congleton died in Jackson County, Indiana, prior to April of 1826

*********************************************************************************************************

This William Congleton was married twice, both marriages taking place in New Jersey. His first wife was probably named Elizabeth, or Eliza, last names unknown. His second wife was Jane, last name unknown.

William and Elizabeth has one son, John Congleton, born in New Jersey in 1787. John died 19 January 1838 in Alleghany Township, Armstorng County, Pennsylvania. John and his wife Jane Derby had four children, Eliza, Martha, William and Leonidas.

William married secondly, Jane, about 1796. Their three oldest children, Elizabeth, James, and David were born in New Jersey in 1798 and 1802. Please note William’s will names David Congleton as the oldest son. The census records imply David and James were either twins, or James was older. If these brothers were twins, both were born in New Jersey before the family moved to Ohio. Their children, Margaret and William were born in Ohio, in 1806 and 1809, respectively. The census records show all of these children either born in New Jersey or Ohio. The census records of Margaret Congleton Walker for 1880 shows both her parents born in New Jersey. James Congleton and Elizabeth Congleton Day were listed as being born in New Jersey in 1850, as was his mother, Jane.

The 1880 census receords of John Congleton’s two daughters, Elizabeth Congleton Ulum and Martha Leonard show their father born in New Jersey.

There is possibly one other daughter, a Mary Congleton, who died before William’s will was written.

The land mentioned in the will was purchased by William Congleton on 13 September 1821 and 13 January 1831. The first deed is recorded in Guernsey County Deed Book D, page 149, and the second in Guernsey County Deed Book S, page 218. There is no evidence he ever owned any other land in Guernsey County.

This William Congleton died in Guernsey County, Ohio in March 1843.

Actually the Congleton name in that region goes back further. The first Congletons that I have ran acrossed were a group of orphaned Congleton children in the Brandwine Hundred (New Castle County, Delaware)in the 1740's. A branch I suspect moved into Northhampton Co. PA and Moses Congleton (Revolutionary Drummer Boy)is from this ilke.
This DNA thing is interesting but what exactly is to be achieved?

CONGLETON yDNA Project

msvnhrn — 2007-06-04 03:11:25Z

The Congleton yDNA Project has been established at Family Tree DNA.

In 1790, there were families with the Congleton surname living in Delaware, New Jersey, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. In the early years of the 19th century, descendants of these families moved into Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, New York, Ohio and West Virginia. It is the goal of this project to identify how many genetically different families they represent, establish the genetic pedigree of each family and to try to determine where these families originated in the Old World.

yDNA test subjects MUST be MEN with the CONGLETON surname, who were not adoped, nor whose male ancestors were not adopted into the Congleton family. Tests are available for 12, 25, 37 and 67 markers. I recommend being tested for at least 37 markers, and prefer project members to be tested for 67 markers. Before beginning my first project, I realized men who had been tested at 12 or 25 markers did not find the results to be definitive. They would then upgrade to 37 or 67 markers. Every time you upgrade, in addition to the lab fees, there is an administrative charge. In the long run, it is cheaper to do the 67 marker test and get all the information at once.

The test is easy to do, it requires taking several scrapings from the inside of the mouth, depositing the scrapers in the vials provided and mailing them to the laboratory. It usually takes about 8-12 weeks to receive the test results.
