"Our friend, Wm. ROE, of B. Company, 156th Regiment, N. Y. V., who was taken prisoner at the battle of Cedar Creek, 1864, and placed in Saulsberry prison, has been paroled. He says no man, unless he has been similarly situated, can tell the amount of suffering Union men had to endure in the Saulsberry (hell) prison. He reports that Wm. HUTTON, James IRVINE, James ELMANDORF, and Hiram SCISM, all members of Com. B., as having died in prison."

S.E.Elmendorf, PA>CA, Died /1850

Murder at Hawkins Bar- The Picayune of las evening, learns that Mr. Todd of Todd and Bryans Express, the following particulars of manslaughter at the above named place:
The wife of a man names Simmons from Arkansas, residing at the above named place, was annoyed by the repeated insulting advances and even threats of violence upon her person by another man of the name of S. E.Elmendorff, formerly of Pennsylvania, of which Mrs. Simmons informed her husband, who gave notice to Elmendorff, if he persisted in coming about the premises, he would shoot him. Nothing intimidated by this warning, Elmendorff persevered, and at last taunted Simmons in his own house with his not fulfilling his threat. Upon this, Simmmons immediatly shot him with a pistol, causing his death in about 30 minutes. Considerable excitement ensued. The friends of Elmendorff insisted upon hanging Simmons without a trial, but thru the interference of others, he was released from their hands, received a legal tribunal and was held in custody to await his trial in Sonora.

Rachel Permelia Elmendorf

SHebHoll08 — 2009-03-03 17:40:37Z

Rachel Permelia Elmendorf was born in New York 11 May 1836 *1836-1919). She married Hiram Hebard and they lived in Wisconsin. I am a descendant of that line. I think her parents are John Felten Elmendorf (1792-1886)and Elizabeth Youmans (1793 - 1850)
I just put a photo of Rachel and Hiram Hebard and some of her kids on my Hebard Tree 2009. I know she had red hair, and worked in a big inn in New York.
Can anyone provide further clarification about Rachel's parents? Thanks!

I was hoping you would have said NY or Ill.. I have an elusive grandparent also with no known parents. His name was Edward Elmendorf born ca. 1855 in either NY or Ill depending on which census you are looking at. I have only found him on two, 1880 & 1900. He was a convicted bigamist having married my gr gr grandmother ca. 1879 (in Claion Co. Pa.) while still married to another woman. They did produce my gr grandmother before he was caught. I found out the information by accident, but it did explain why nobody knew much about him. I believe I have found him in the Chicago area in 1900 census with a new family, or it could have been his original wife. Anyhow he was gone by 1910 and his daughter was married and had her brother living with her. I have been trying to trace these children with hopes of finding a living relative who could help me. I have a picture of good old Edward and he was a handsome man. Who knows perhaps your Rozella is related. If my Edward was also illegitimate it would explain why I can't find him in an earlier census. And believe me I have tried. Kathie

I am looking for the father of Rozilla May Elmendorf. She married Daniel Poor in 1885. Her mother is listed as Caroline Victoria Yahne who married Steven Mann. I do not know if Rozilla May was born out of wedlock or if her mother married an Elmendorf and he died or they were divorced.

PHOTO: Henry ELMENDORF/ELMDORF and sisters? taken by Redden Studios in St. Chas, St. Chas Cty, MO

kathy3643 — 2006-10-17 14:16:04Z

I bought a formal portrait of three children. Only the brother in the photo is identified as Henry ELMDORF. I believe these may be the children of Charles ELMENDORF and Catherine SOSMAN ELMENDORF. The family is listed in the 1870 Census St. Charles Cty, Missouri as the following: Charles Elmendorf, age 46, b. Prussia, his wife Catherine, age 36, b. Hannover, and their children all born MO: Catherine 6, Henry 5, John 4, William 2, Louise 6/12.

In the 1880 the same family is listed in St. Charles County, MO, but Henry is 16, and there is only one female child listed.

I am not related, but I would like to connect this photo with a family member or family researcher. Please contact me directly if you have an interest in this photo.

Elmendorfs in Southern Indiana

Karen_E — 2006-03-27 15:23:19Z

Researching the Elmendorf family in southern Indiana. Have not found a connection to New York nor Texas at this time. Looks like they immigrated to US early to mid 1800s, came through Pennsylvania and settled in southern Indiana. Any info welcome!

Hi Dee.

I received a nice message from a lady in Florida about the Elmendorf Family that I sent to your email. I hope you recieved the file as Martha Elmendorf has traced the Elmendorf's all the was back to New York.

I noticed the Elmendorf's in New York but I never remembered my Mother talking about coming from New York.

Sincerely, Mitchell Raab

I am looking for my great-great grandfather, Martin Elmendorf. He is listed as living in Covert, NY in the 1850 census with wife, Elizabeth, and son, Myer. They later moved to Michigan. I am looking for his parents and I believe he may be from Kingston, New York, Ulster County and would have been born approx. 1814. Thanks to anyone with some info.

Re: Elmendorph, Elmendorf families

Cheryl,
I have information that proves that Sarah Elmendorf who married William Rose of Ulster, County, New York was the daughter of Jonathan Elmendorf and Margaret FELTON not Van Valkenburg. This original information came from Christine Rose of the Rose Family Association but has proved false. Please contact me at your convenience.
