Lancaster from Jefferson City, Jefferson, TN

David Boehmer — 3 Apr 2004 10:17:21 GMT

I would like to contact anyone who has Lancaster ancestors who lived in Jefferson City, TN. My ultimate goal is to contact a descendent of that family. My great-aunt married Clarence (Penny) Lancaster b. 1894. He died in 1973 in Jefferson City. I am told that he was from that area, though he married my great-aunt and lived in Cleveland, TN for a while. He was my aunt Maybell's third husband. Maybell's maiden name was Odom.

Lancasters from Flimby, Cumberland

markjlancaster — 6 Aug 2007 2:35:19 GMT

Hoping for a bit of help padding out my tree, and perhaps a little help as to where to look next.

I traced back my tree back to a marriage between Joseph Lancaster and Mary Wilson on 10 Jan 1781 in Greystoke, Cumberland.

From what I could tell from the records they had 6 children, Joseph, John, Thomas, Sarah, William Wilson and my decendant (the youngest) Isaac.

Isaac married a Jane Spark on 2 May 1818 in Flimby and had children Thomas (1819), Joseph (1821) (my decendant) and Mary Ann (1823) who I believe married a Thomas Brown on 22 Feb 1845 in Deaham. There is also a suggestion of a 4th child Elizabeth born in 1829 from the 1821 census. However Isaac looks like he died sometime either November or December 1823

Joseph married I believe a Jane Walker on 25 Feb 1843 in Parish of Dearham, and had 2 Children who survived, my decendant William (1857) and Jane (1847) Later married a John Rawlings. With the suggestion per the 1851 census of 2 other children, presumed died.

William married Sarah Liddle from Spittal Tongues in 1880.

From that point I have very accurate details of children and families from the direct line.

What I really am after is,

1. Where was the First Joseph married in 1781 was from, I searched all the parish records in Cumberland without sucess for his birth, and came up with nothing.

2. Isaac who died in 1823, did not show any further info on the parish death record, but I know he was a miner, probably working at Flimby mine. Perhaps he was in a mining accident, but I can't find any records of anything like that.

3. Does anyone share a common decendant with any of the above and maybe we can pool information?

Cheers in advance.

Update from the Lancaster Surname Project!

andreweninge — 24 Sep 2008 8:22:12 GMT

Hello Lancasters!

There has been a lot going on but not much said on this forum recently. As usual there have been many reasons to wait to give updates: waiting for test results, on-going discussions with various people, people waiting for wills to arrive etc. Time to try to give a flavour of what is going on.

Also keep in mind that I've been updating the public summary, so you might want to cross reference there... http://users.skynet.be/lancaster/Lancaster.htm (Notice in green how I have been trying to collect information from all families about how far back their paper trails go, and whether they have connecting paper trails to other participants. If you can add or correct anything, please do!) I'll refer to some of our other many webpages as we go along...

1. Our "table 1" group of Lancasters from West Yorkshire and Eastern Lancashire, with its still mysterious connection to Satterthwaite is my group. Various tests are pending, but a couple of interesting updates:

 With the latest markers, our Carpenter cousin's closest match is no longer clearly the Lancaster branch within the group, but perhaps the Satterfields of the USA.
 The same results now make my Colne Lancasters (http://users.skynet.be/lancaster/Macleay%20Lancasters.html ) look closer to the Cliviger Lancasters. It will be very interesting to see if this pattern can be confirmed on more markers.
 On the genealogy front, I've made a new webpage about those Cliviger Lancasters and their origins, here: http://users.skynet.be/lancaster/cliviger.html
 Our group has invested in several tests for a new multi part marker, called DYF710. Let’s hope it is as useful as DYF399 for splitting up families.

2. The group at the top of table 2.

I think it has already been announced here and in other places that we seem to have proven that the Lancasters of Henrico Co, are one and the same family as those of York Co, presumably all descending from Gowan Lancaster who arrived in America in the 1600s. See http://users.skynet.be/lancaster/henrico.html

We only have one Henrico line tested past 12 markers and we lost contact with the other person, so one of the investments our project’s supporters should consider is upgrading him to confirm the pattern here. These two families together make up for a lot of all American Lancasters.

3. Our other big American group in table 2.

The main part of these descend from Robert Lancaster or Lancashire of Surry Co and Isle of White Co. See the page put together by co-admin John E Lancaster: http://users.skynet.be/lancaster/Robert%20L%20of%20Surrey%20...

They have already been connected successfully to the Bucks Co Quaker Lancasters, http://users.skynet.be/lancaster/Bucks%20Co.html who match in turn with a family who, like them, came from the Birmingham area in the English midlands.

This latter family is another one currently stuck on 12 markers, which it would benefit the project greatly if we could make sure this was upgraded. We originally lost contact with the participant, but now we have contact with the family. We are hoping that between the family and perhaps with the encouragement of other project supporters, we'll manage an upgrade soon.

All these lines were suspected to come from Northern England. See Tony's webpage http://users.skynet.be/lancaster/Quaker%20Lancasters.html

Well, last night (not yet showing on any public webpage) we received a new match to this increasingly large group, this time for a family from Kendal, in the northwest of England. This is very exciting news! We have two other families from this important Lancaster area (see http://users.skynet.be/lancaster/De%20Lancasters%20of%20West... ) but this one is so widespread, and it seems so old.

This new result is another one which is only 12 markers. Again, it is in the interests of Lancaster genealogy to upgrade if we can find a way.

4. The Maryland Catholic Lancasters. http://users.skynet.be/lancaster/maryland%20lancasters.html

Lancashire Records Office is very slowly filling its overseas will copy orders, and Lesa now has hers. I have already received a trickle of information which seems to confirm two things so far:

 Captain John at the top of the family tree seems to be the son of another John, who was married to a Catherine.
 Comparison of wills seems to make it more certain than before that we are dealing with a branch of the Rainhill Lancaster family. http://users.skynet.be/lancaster/The%20Lancasters%20of%20Rai...

In closing, remember that all sorts of participation and help and support are needed and many possibilities are summarized here: http://users.skynet.be/lancaster/participate%20Lancaster.htm . And thanks to everyone already involved!

In any case if you have any ideas or questions or comments or whatever, please feel free to contact me on Andrew.lancaster@skynet.be

Matilda Lancaster who married Nathan Howard and was the mother of Charlotte Bell Howard

t4ger — 4 May 2006 1:39:17 GMT

I'm looking for any information on her ancestors.
I've found 2 Matilda Lancasters (I think) living in the same area at about the same time. One I can follow down through descendants, the other has ancestors, but the wrong husband (Charlotte Bell Lancaster, her parents are Zacheriah Lancaster and Elizabeth Smith). It would be nice to connect them, in that I bet they were related (if not the same person who remarried or something).
Thanks for your time.

John Lancaster of Patricroft

merrilierowley1 — 17 Jul 2008 8:36:21 GMT

I am trying to solve the puzzle of whether there is a connection between the Lancaster families of Cliviger, Lancs. and my Grt.x3 grandfather John Lancaster b.1775 Patricroft,m.Rachel Crompton, d.1845. The information that I have been given is that John was brought up at Height Farm, renamed Merril Head - the next door farm being Pearson House.However both of these farms are at Cliviger not Patricroft.According to 1841 census another Lancaster family occupied Pearsons until 1881, John Lancaster b.1781 d.1848 followed by his son John b.1819.To add to the confusion there is yet another Lancaster family living at Bents House, Cliviger covering the same period.
I would dearly love to know whether in fact there is a connection between these families - can anyone help?

Helping collect notes on Lancaster families with good early paper trails

andreweninge — 8 Jun 2008 11:22:42 GMT

See my posting of 25 May, where I asked for people interested to help collect Lancaster paper trails which are specifically early ones, for example before 1750.

I have had a lot of people contact me interested to see if they can help, or what it might mean. Many were trying to get a feeling for what I have in mind. Two Lancaster genealogists have made the first two "guest webpages" which I've posted on my collection of Lancaster research webpages. They are good examples of what I think will be very helpful for many of us...

See
http://users.skynet.be/lancaster/Robert%20L%20of%20Surrey%20...
http://users.skynet.be/lancaster/Bucks%20Co.html

You might notice that both these families are American, and that this therefore also helps me in an area I have not personally done as much work on.

To repeat, I am looking for work which compliments what is already available on the internet, or what I am already working on.

The aim is to help get information about Lancasters in an easy to use form, because many of us have family trees that get stuck in the 1700s, and we therefore want to know which families are already known in that period.

Best Regards
Andrew

My own Lancasters, from England, are explained here:
http://users.skynet.be/lancaster/Macleay%20Lancasters.html

I am looking for more correspondents doing research and I am especially interesting to find Lancaster families who would be interested in joining the Lancasters of the Lancaster Surname Project. We are using DNA to look for links between Lancasters from around the world.

We already have some great genealogists and interesting families who are participating.

Lancaster family, Atherton, Lancs, UK

normalancaster_1 — 18 May 2008 4:48:44 GMT

I am searching for info regarding JOHN LANCASTER (b 1895) ROBERT SMITH LANCASTER (b 1900 - married Ethel Aldred/Ainsbough 1920) and CHARLES LANCASTER (1908-1955, married Alice Glover 1926) all from ATHERTON, Lancs, UK. Their parents are MARK LANCASTER (1875-1945) and ELLEN SMITH. MARK and CHARLES were living at 58 SAMUEL ST, ATHERTON at the time of their deaths. My grandfather was James William Lancaster, second son of Mark and Ellen. He and my grandmother migrated to NZ in 1924, they separated shortly after and all contact with our English Lancaster relatives was lost. Any info appreciated even if you are not sure it is relevant. A seemingly tiny bit of info could be the breakthrough I'm looking for!

Lancaster DNA Project: an action by participants

andreweninge — 17 Mar 2008 8:07:27 GMT

Hello everyone

I am re-posting this message, a version of a message which has been posted on other forums also, after having been advised of the correct format which is permitted. (I apparently mentioned too much detail about commercial things. If my new wording seems vague, please write to me for more explanation.)

On the one hand I have contact with many people interested in getting their Lancaster families involved in DNA testing, who just don't seem able to cross the threshold and take the decision.

On the other hand those of us who are tested are waiting for our cousins, and we know more about how easy it is and what benefits can eventually come.

I therefore now propose that as a community and family we help each other make some breakthroughs.

Therefore I call for participation in two ways:-

1. Join me as a person helping others to take part. The method for doing this is explained here:- http://users.skynet.be/lancaster/participate%20Lancaster.htm

2. Make an application!
Write to me at andrew.lancaster@skynet.be or post here, concerning your furthest back Lancaster male line relatives, for whom you have a male Lancaster standing by and ready to be tested.

People with good family trees going back before 1850, and especially going back before 1800, are especially welcome!

Mainly the aim is to get people thinking about joining. The value of the DNA project is directly connected to how many families are in it.

Best Regards
Andrew

A note about DNA tests concerning Ancestry.com's test

andreweninge — 21 Mar 2008 4:53:53 GMT

Hi Lancaster genealogists

It is great to hear that Ancestry.com's new DNA testing is getting more Lancasters involved in "genetic genealogy": giving more strength to the newest tool we genealogists have.

Please however note that until they get the necessary data and software up-and-running they are not giving automatic information about the existance of the Lancaster DNA Project.

Please note that the Lancaster DNA project if a group of Lancaster genealogists, who use different testing labs. Most labs already tell their Lancaster customers about us automatically. I understand Ancestry are building up to this.

So contact me if you are getting tested, and we'll make sure you are recognized as one of the team! Remember that being able to compare results with others is necessary to get value out of the test.

Best Regards

Fellow Lancaster Genealogists!

I have announced bits and pieces of webpage notes about Lancasters before, but I have just finished a major reorganization of my work. Although it is still a "work in progress" rather than a finished authoritative work, I think it is becoming more comprehensive and useful.

I certainly hope it helps all of you, because the more we can all learn together the better! Comments, questions, corrections etc would be very welcome.

Lancaster DNA

andreweninge — 11 Feb 2008 8:02:12 GMT

A large percentage of discussions on this list involve different people comparing their "walls" with each other and then agree that they may well be related, but for now this is just a theory that can be kept in mind.

I just wanted to mention that this is exactly the kind of situation that the Lancaster DNA project is working. We are Lancaster genealogists, who organize our own testing privately and then compare notes. DNA testing is a good way to at least see who is related and who is not.

I've tried to summarize some of the options for testing here:

The more of us get involved, the more useful the results!

Subject Harry LANCASTER son of Samuel and Mary Ann Ashcraft LANCASTER was born 3 May 1892 in Kansas City, Jackson Co, MO and died 24 June 1926 in Kansas City, MO. His death certificate lists his cause of death as a suicide by hanging himself with a leather belt. He hung himself at the No 4 Police Station in Kansas City. I would like to find information on why he was at the Police Station. The assumption would be that he had been arrested for some crime and rather than face trial decided to end his life.

DNA Project Update!

andreweninge — 8 Mar 2007 12:05:11 GMT

Dear Lancasters and kin

We now have at least hypothetical proposals for the DNA signatures of several famous Lancaster families. Which one will you be related to?

*The medieval Lancaster Barons of Kendal
*The descendants of Gilbert Fitz Reinfrid who signed the Magna Carta
*The family of Sir James Lancaster, sailor, adventurer, businessman, bucaneer etc under Elizabeth I.
*The noble family of the Lancasters of Rainhill.
*The family of one of the first quakers, James Lancaster of Welney Island.
*The family of the educationalist Joseph Lancaster.
*Several early American families.

Please note that we actually NEED a few different confirmations before we should feel that we have confirmed an identification. This means that we still need more participants, though it is already reasonable to be excited about the results coming in.

The relevant webpages for Lancaster DNA study are here:

Isaac Lancaster son of Isaac Edwin Lancaster, and Mariah Laughlin

bncurtis101 — 9 Feb 2007 2:33:47 GMT

I am wondering if anyone may have information on Isaac Lancaster, son of Isaac Edwin Lancaster, and Mariah Laughlin. I am curious to see if anyone has come up with a death date and place of death yet. The last time I find him in the records is 1850 Census. I have never found the family on the 1860 Census, we know they were moving around then, and were in IA, as they had two children there. Edwin Lancaster, b. 1857, and Alice Marie Lancaster b. 1860. It is soon after that they travel west on the Oregon Trail, to Oregon, and then by 1870 they are in Cache Creek Twp., Yolo Co., State of California, but you never see Isaac there.

Also we know that when Brother Morris Lancaster shot and killed brother John Lancaster on 2 Aug. 1879, that he ran. He said he went to see another brother living in Antelope Valley, and his brother thinking his mind was woundering talked him in to returning to Mason Valley. I can't seem to place any of the other parts of the family in Antelope Valley, and am woundering if it was Isaac maybe.

Lancaster names listed in Kennedy Cemetery in Chesnut Mountain, GA

klyeoman — 24 Jan 2007 11:56:16 GMT

If anyone is interested, I have just uploaded ALL of the headstone/tombstone pictures of the Family names in the Kennedy cemetery for:
Adam, Bell, Benton, Boggs, Brown, Cooper, Daniel, Emmitt, Foster, Hanes, Kennedy, Lancaster, Little, Lowery, Maddox, Merritt, Orr, Pirkle, Smith, Turk, Wellborn, and Young.

The cemetery list is complete, with the exception of two graves that have stones broken to the ground and are missing.
The cemetery is located on Winder Highway (Hwy 53 and 211 junction) It is not well kept, although the sign was recently posted and construction is going on quite near. It is just before the Golden Pantry store, or just after, depending which way you come and the store sits at the corner of Hwy 211/53 and Tanner's Mill Road at Chestnut Mountain.

To see the pics and names, go to www.findagrave.com. The site is free and you can begin to search all over the US for volunteers (like myself and my friend) who do this on a weekly basis. You can also search by state and county. With any luck, someone just may have posted a picture of YOUR ancestor too :)

Stan Lancaster
Posted: Tuesday, Jan 16, 2007 - 03:42:06 pm PST
COLUMBIA BASIN HERALD, MOSES LAKE, WASHINGTON STATE

Stan Lancaster, 71, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, went home to be with the Lord, Friday, Jan. 12, 2007. A Memorial service will be held Saturday, Jan. 20, at 3 p.m. at the church in Moses Lake -- Day Star gym, 6378 Arnold Drive. Arrangements are in care of Kayser's Chapel and Crematory.

Stan was born on June 13, 1935, in Elma, Wash., to the late Joseph and Margaret Lancaster. He married Marilyn Jean McElwain on Sept. 27, 1958 in Elma, Wash. Following short stays in Moses Lake, Alaska and four years in Portland, Ore., they moved their family back to Moses lake, where they have lived until present.

As a young man he dedicated himself to serving his country for eight years in the Army National Guard Reserves. He devoted his life to serving the Lord Jesus Christ and caring for his wife and children. Stan, his wife and others started Day Star Childcare, which faithfully served the community for 23 years. During the last six years of the daycare, until his death, he worked as a postal clerk at the U.S. Post Office in Moses Lake. His death following a heart attack was unexpected. The depth of his absence will be immeasurable to all who knew and loved him.

He is survived by his wife of 48 years; two sons and daughters-in-law, Norman and Lisa Lancaster, Moses Lake; Ross and Grace Lancaster of Kenmore, Wash.; a daughter and son-in-law, Shawnee and Ed McNamara of Moses Lake; 17 grandchildren and three spouses, two great-grandchildren, one sister and brother-in-law, Mavis and Harry Graham of Battleground, Wash.; two brothers and sisters-in-law, John and Betty Lancaster of Hammond, Ore., Al and Jenny Lancaster of Del Ray Beach, Fla.; numerous nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by three brothers and one sister.

John Lancaster b 1823 SC

WeatherlyJane — 30 Jul 2006 4:36:43 GMT

I'm looking for my gggrandfather - John Lancaster. All I know is that he was born in SC in 1823, married a Betsy Crow (don't know when or where), had at least one child - Nety Carolina Lancaster b 5/20/1853 in Georgia. I've found him on the 1860 census in Cherokee, AL, 1870 census in Marshall, AL, 1880 census in Etowah, AL. There is no record of John or Hannah (as her name was listed on the above mentioned census') in 1890.

Any help or leads would be appreciated. THANKS!
