My father was LeRoy Heskett. His brother was Lawrence. I knew your mother briefly. She was one of my fathers favorites. Grew up on the same street as Maxine and Lawrence. Playmates with Patty (their youngest) and Jeannie. Knew Danny, but he was older than me. We used to go to Topeka to visit and If I remember right, we went to Oklahoma where they lived also

Re: Heskett <-> Gallaugher

sheilagh5506 — 2011-07-18 02:35:28Z

Thanks...
Rachel Jane and Samantha were sisters who married brothers. Samantha was the first wife of my great great grandfather, William.

My lineage is Vivian Jeanne Gallagher Gibson->
Gilbert Russell Gallagher:Emma Eliz. Kaiser->
George Benjamin:Emma Acord Caldwell->
William:Samantha Heskett->
(then, of course, both the Gallaugher and Heskett lines from there).

Thanks for your help! My aunt compiled all this info in 1967. Her note on the George W. Gallaugher page is that all of the information was supplied to her by Virginia Gallaugher Stevens' daughter.

So, your George D Gallaugher... was he called Dick? That's a notation my aunt has next to his name, but it doesn't have his middle initial. Also, was Ruth Delphine called Tillie? Do you have her maiden name?

Do you have actual birth and death dates for George W. & Rachel Jane? All I have is years.

I know Chillicothe very well... of course, my grandfather grew up there, and we attended Gallaugher reunions there all the time in my much younger years. We probably know each other :)

grammyfern — 2011-07-17 14:30:02Z

Pharaby Crouse Heskett married Benjamin Heskett. Her father was Benjamin Adam Heskett. Her husband was older than her father.

Pharaby and Benjamin had a daughter Rachel Jane. She married George W Gallaugher. They were my great grandparents. My grandfather was George D Gallaugher and my mother was Ruth Delphine Gallaugher. They all lived in Chillicothe

Benjamin did not have a middle name,but I'll double check with Tacy. She's the Heskett authority

Re: Father of Norval Valentine Heskett

sheilagh5506 — 2011-07-17 04:01:02Z

First of all, sorry for misspelling Heskett as Heskitt... my aunt has it written both ways in the book.

Second, I show that Mary Malvina b.18Sep1852 is the daughter of Pharaby Crouse Heskett Heskett & Benjamin NKMN Heskett. My records also show that Mary married Truman Elias Parker in 1870.

Re: Amanda Alice

sheilagh5506 — 2011-07-17 03:42:07Z

Mark, to clarify your post, I show the following children of Benjamin NKMN Heskett and Pharaby Crouse Heskett Heskett:

Samantha b.5May1843
William Stanton b.6Sep1844
Harriet A. b.8Feb1846
Thomas E. b.8Feb1848
Rachel Jane b.16Nov1849
Mary Malvina b.18Sep1852
Amanda Alis b.14Nov1854

Conrad--This Amanda Alis I show as being married to a John Brown.

This is family history supplied by Doris Heskett in ~1967.

sheilagh5506 — 2011-07-17 03:02:03Z

Lesley, I'm not sure where you got that Pharaby Crouse Heskitt was a Gallaugher. Her daughter Samantha (father Benjamin NKMN Heskitt, b.25Jun1775) married William Gallaugher. Samantha and William's son George Benjamin (b.22Oct1867) was my ggrandfather. Also, do you have a middle name for Benjamin who was married to Pharaby?

What information do you have that link Levi and Matilda? I have seen Timothy's will but no guarantee that this is the same Levi.

Re: Levi Heskett Elizabeth Poulton

KristaCaponigro19 — 2011-03-22 22:05:15Z

Hello, I'm the great-great-great grandaughter of Levi Heskett and Elizabeth Poulton!

Levi's mom was Matilda Heskett, I am unsure as to his paternal father, but Matilda later married George Littick.

Matilda's parents are Timothy Heskett and Anna Clarke

Timothy's parents are Benjamin Heskett and Catherine Palmer

And Benjamin's parents were Benjamin Heskett and Elizabeth Ijams who are the ones who came to America through Virginia. I'm not sure of the year, but Benjamin (the oldest one married to Elizabeth) was born in 1710.

Hope that this helps!

You have 2 generations mixed up here.

Benjamin Adam Heskett and Nancy Nevin were Pharaby Crouse Heskett's parents. Pharaby was married to Benjamin Heskett. He was 4 years older then Pharaby's father, Benjamin Adam Heskett.

There were several Benjamin Hesketts and they can be confusing.

I am interested in purchasing a copy of your book about the ancestors of Ambrose Wolford Heskett and Sarah Slevin. I understand that my grandmother, Dorothy Heskett Reyes, and her Brother Harry Heskett contributed info. for this book. I have recently come across an article about my ggrandfather (Grandma and Harry's dad) from a book where it has North Dakota State Supreme Court cases, one where Harry Heskett was called to testify about a couple of men who were trying to operate another ferry into Canada without a license and put him out of business. Most likely the issue was bootlegging, and the other men were putting Harry out of business.

HELP! I believe this to be a photo of the Heskett Jarrett McEndree Clan. Possibly in Belmont County Ohio. Would appreciate if anyone could identify any person in photo. I believe the young man in the wheelchair to be Clyde Heskett (1876-1904) whom had cerebral palsy, son of Thomas Everett and Isabell Margaret Heskett. Thanks Fred Heskett

Re: Heskett, Levi

rashelbraun44 — 2009-10-27 03:14:10Z

Sorry, I'm tired Ambrose Heskett's SON was married to Marjorie Fern Johnson and Marie Cairns, not Ambrose ! And Ambrose's mother was Elizabeth Poulton.

Re: Heskett, Levi

rashelbraun44 — 2009-10-27 03:11:11Z

Ambrose Wolford Heskett and Sarah Slevin were my grandmother's grandparents. They grew up next door to each other and were childhood playmates. My grandfather's dad was Harry Lea Heskett, who led a very different life. Had at least two children and lived all over the country. What would you like to know. I have a photo of Ambrose and siblings. He was known to play the violin quite well. He was married to Marjorie Fern Johnson in Center, ND, divorced and then married to Marie G. Cairns of Council Bluffs. He wanted to move to Minnesota and she didn't, so he later died in International Falls.

Please see my recent updates in this message board under Benjamin Adam Heskett and Norval Valentine Heskett.

Re: Levi Heskett Elizabeth Poulton

rashelbraun44 — 2009-10-27 02:44:19Z

Yes, Benjamin Adam Heskett and Nancy Nevin are listed as Levi's parents in Grandma's records. Nancy Nevin was the second wife. The first wife was Catherine Palmer, mother of Norval Valentine.

Grandma got her info from author Diana Wynne and Rev. Benjamin Adam Heskett of Worthington, OH many, many years ago.

Re: Norval Valentine Heskett

rashelbraun44 — 2009-10-27 02:24:36Z

Correction: Catherine Palmer's middle initial was not "D." The D was in reference to her death date as being abt. 1805-1810.

She has Benjamin Adam Heskett (the second) died 6-14-1853, possibly buried in Speidel Cemetery, WVA.

She also has Benjamin Adam (the second)born 10/31/1779.

And sorry, (again, the writing is hard to read) but all of Levi's CHILDREN, not siblings were made to get good educations. Levi, b. 1820 married Elizabeth Poulton, of Brown Co. Indiana. My grandma's died was Harry Lea Heskett, son of Ambrose Wolford Heskett and Sara Slevin.

Re: Norval Valentine Heskett

rashelbraun44 — 2009-10-27 02:05:07Z

Norval Valentine Heskett is the son of Bejamin Adam Heskett, (the second)and his first wife Catherine D. Palmer. The second wife was Nancy Nevin md. 1-23-1812 in Ross Co., WVA.
Nancy was the mother of Levi. He was the eldest of this union and had to work early on to help support the family, so he was not educated, but all of his younger siblings were educated. My grandma is a Heskett, granddaughter of Ambrose Wolford Heskett. A couple of arrows in her information are confusing, so I can't tell if Benjamin A. Heskett Sr. or Norval Valentine is who she indicates was buried in the Spidel Cemetery, WVA. She got her info from Diana Wynne and Rev.Benjamin Adam Heskett of Worthington, Ohio. Hope this helps !

Re: Levi Heskett Elizabeth Poulton

rashelbraun44 — 2009-10-22 02:14:22Z

Grandma thought that Levi's parents were Nancy Nevin and Benjamin A. Heskett. She said she would send me her research from when she went to Belmont Co. (way back when) so I can look over it to be clear. There is always the chance of there being more than one Benjamin, Levi, Matilda, etc. Will post again this week after it comes in the mail.

Sorry I didn't get back to you about the book. I did ask my Dad and he doesn't know where to get a copy from. I was going to research it further and get back to you and have not had the time. I could very possibly get a copy made for you. I need to look at the copyright on it.
Also, I don't know why this posting is showing up as from mellison1. just e-mail me at jensenzoo@gmail.com. Thanks.

Re: Levi Heskett Elizabeth Poulton

markheskett_1 — 2009-08-22 02:40:54Z

What documentation do you have that Benjamin and Nancy are Levis parents? The will of Benjamin only mentions daughters. Pharaby Crouse, Harriet, Sarah Jane, and maybe David. Also do you have the parents name of Benjamin Adam?

Re: Norval Valentine Heskett

myrootsareblonde — 2009-05-18 14:15:16Z

I was referring to the Norval Valentine born 15 Feb 1805 in Loudoun co, Va and died 8 Feb 1852 in Morrow co, OH. I have not been able to find him before 20 Feb 1829 when he married Massy Nickols in Marion co, OH. Thanks for any help to steer me in the right direction in locating him and proving who his parents were.

Re: Levi Heskett Elizabeth Poulton

SharlaJensen27 — 2009-05-02 20:34:31Z

I'm not sure why, but my first posting was under a different name, but here's what I know about Levi Heskett.

I have a copy of a book called The Heskett History by Diana J. Wynne. In it she states, "Born about 1820, Levi Heskett was the sixth child and second son born to Benjamin Heskett and his second wife Nancy Nevin, but because his older brother William, and his sisters Williby and Dolphine had died in infancy, Levi was the eldest son." I am not sure what her sources were but most of the book appears to be fairly well researched. She does mention that in the 1850 Belmont, Ohio census that Levi, his wife and three sons live next door to Benjamin and Nancy. (Not that that proves any thing.) I have not researched any further due to lack of time and the distance involved.

Re: Levi Heskett Elizabeth Poulton

matchka — 2009-05-02 12:58:36Z

I would be interested in your supporting information. I had not seen Levi as a child of Benjamin and Nancy. The only reference i have found - pre 1850 census - is the will of Timothy I mentioned.

Re: Levi Heskett Elizabeth Poulton

Norval Valentine Heskett

myrootsareblonde — 2009-02-03 23:49:54Z

Has anyone found who the mother of Norval valentine Heskett is? Nancy Nevin cannot be his mother for various reasons, but I can not find anyone who could be his mother. Also, I can not find proof that Benjamin Adam Heskett was his father. I have gotten Benjamin Adams will, and his grandfather's, Benjamin, will and neither mention Norval Valentine. In a family history written in the forties, there is mention of a letter with proof that Benjamin Adam was Norval's father, but if the letter ever existed, I haven't been able to find where it is. Can anyone help me?

Re: Levi Heskett Elizabeth Poulton

matchka — 2008-10-21 13:11:37Z

In Timothy Heskett's will it includes specifically 'my grandson Levi son of my daughter Matilda'. Timothy had a daughter Matilda that later married and Levi could be her son out of marriage or it is possible a son of Timothy married a Matilda and because the son died he wanted to make sure he was included.
I have not found any other information. I do not have my notes with me so this is from memory but the quote is very close.
