Frank Lancaster 1895 - 1948?

2012-04-26 21:10:54Z

Word has it in our family that a great-great was a horse thief and was hung for it. Maybe a fable as other families tell the same story. My mom's side are Lancasters from Philadelphia, Frank () L. was born about 1895 and died in 1948? A sister was Fanny, Aunt Fan, and a brother was Tom. Frank's wife was Helen Hugel / Heugel born probably in Philadelphia or nearby. His children were Tom, Helen, Grace, Ruth, and Bobby (dead at ~3), born in the teens and 20's but all gone now. Anything before that regarding any Philadelphia Lancasters would be greatly appreciated.

I found a posting of a newspaper article from Edmonson County, it was about the lynching of Thomas Lancaster - does anyone know any details about Thomas Lancaster?

Re: Thomas Lancaster

cherie2435 — 2012-04-26 13:55:21Z

Hello. My great grandmother was Ruby Mae Lancaster. She married Carlos Johnson. I, too, found an article about the Lynching, and I asked her about it. she became quite embarrassed and would not say anything about it. Later, a man named Phillip Beckner told me that Thomas Lancaster was his Great grandfather. I have since found multiple newspaper reports about the incident. In brief, Thomas was a hired hand for a doctor who practiced in Rocky Hill, KY. He lived 2 miles north of Rocky Hill on present day 31 W. Based upon the records, he would have lived near where Donnie and Doris Vance currently live. Supposedly, an argument occurred between the doctor and Thomas about wages. Afterwhich, the doctor and a companion departed his house in a horse drawn wagon on the road (present day hwy 259)headed for Rocky Hill. Thomas mounted a horse and took a direct route through fields to Rocky Hill. When the doctor arrived, he entered into a general store in Rocky Hill where Thomas greeted him with two shotgun blasts killing the doctor. Thomas was arrested and taken to the jail in Brownsville, KY. Sometime after that, a Lynch mob from Rocky Hill abducted Thomas from the jail and hanged him from a tree located near where present day hwy 259 and hwy 70 intersect. He is supposedly buried in the Brownsville cementary.

Lancaster Book -- Allen P. Lancaster & Nancy

2012-03-21 12:04:31Z

I just got my Lancaster book back from the printer. I checked on Nancy but I don't have a last name either. I show children Louanna, jasper, Adeline, Susan, Rhody. Are there any I've missed? Sorry I couldn't come up with a last name. She probably died around Stone Co AR (just a guess). You might check obits for the latter part of the century in Stone Co.

He was my great, great-grandfather and was from the Texas/Oklahoma region. I don't know if he's the one you're looking for. His wife's name was Martha Catherine Phillips. I've found her parents too, but cannot find any info on Allen. I'd like to know if you think it's the same Allen P.

There is a book at the Maine State library on the history and descendants of Joseh Lancaster Md. written by Josephine Ware. It is not available for borrowing, now is it permitted to be copied. You can only read it in the library.It has the legend of how the first Lancaster , of this line anyway, stowed away and came to the colonies because of crooked relatives.

I did not get the invite, in fact, I just emptied my junk and trash folders when I signed in to my email (before I read your note). Do you mind re-sending it? Were you able to view my tree? I'm not familiar with how to share them. I don't have a paid subscription, so I don't know if I can access yours from home, but I have access at a local family search center and will try it there if I can't from here.

Re: Need ancestors of Robert Lancaster who married Tempy

Re: Need ancestors of Robert Lancaster who married Tempy

ukendoit — 2012-03-05 19:03:11Z

Yes, there were two. The younger Sam Young Lancaster (that you are referring to, b. 1868) was Robert & Tempy's son. The older Sam Young (my aunt's great-grandfather, b. June 1848) was Robert's brother.

Re: Need ancestors of Robert Lancaster who married Tempy

Re: Need ancestors of Robert Lancaster who married Tempy

ukendoit — 2012-03-05 16:10:58Z

Good to know. I appreciate any information you have. I don't have a paid Ancestry membership, so I don't know if we can see each other's tree, but feel free to check out mine if you can. My email is kennethoberle@yahoo.com
Nathanial's great-grandson, Elroy, is no longer with us, but his wife, Evelyn (90 yrs) is, as well as his children and grandchildren. My aunt Sylvia, Elroy's daughter, wrote,
"Lena and Elsie, their son Sam and his wife Coletta and Dad's grandfather, Samuel Young Lancaster and his wife Lizzie are all buried in the North East corner of the historical cemetery in Columbia, Missouri, off of the main street, Broadway. Samuel Young Lancaster joined the confederate army when he was 13. He was shot in Neosho, Missouri. His horse was shot out from under him. The saddle horn made a huge scar in his shoulder and the tip of his finger was shot off with the bullet that killed his horse. He survived and built a number of houses in Columbia and did the finish
carpentry with my Grandfather Elsie in the Missouri University Library. On flag day, they put American flags on all the soldier's graves,
including his, which he probably would not appreciate. Samuel Young Lancaster, fought in the Border Wars and would not talk about
Lawrence, Kansas. He knew Cole Younger and Jesse James and Buffalo Bill. He has, I think, a half sister or some kind of relative, buried
in the Lee's Summit, Cemetery, Natalie Mayes, In the front row by the main street.
Samuel Young Lancaster, had a bother, who was made to dig his own grave during the civil war. The Lancasters were here at least during the time of Adam's presidency, because Dad's [Elroy's] sister, Naomi, said we were related to the Adams' and had red hair back then."
Again, any info or stories you can share would be appreciated, I find all this very interesting. Thanks, Ken Oberle.

Re: Lancaster family TN > TX -- Richard A. Lancaster

JohnnieTate46 — 2012-02-19 11:47:45Z

I did a search on Ancestry.com of your Richard Alva Lancaster and found him in the ADAM AND JOSH LANCASTER FAMILY he is said to have been born 1848 in Tennessee Father William G Lancaster and Mother Ann E Leake, He married Mary Reece Breeding in Hays, TEXd April 13 1881 and died in Harrison TX at age 64 Sept 4 1912.
He should be in the TX 1910 census.

Re: Lancaster family TN > TX -- Richard A. Lancaster

JohnnieTate46 — 2012-02-19 11:47:18Z

We have a website on Ancestry.com that you may look at that is all the information that I know. look for Raburn -Bigham Family Tree.
When you locate that look for Callie Alberta Lancaster I have pictures and her death certificate.

The name Richard Lancaster is repeated each generation I am sure they are related but I could not say how.

Callie Lancaster is considered a cousin of Callie Martin who lived with the Lancasters after her Mother died.

Re: Lancaster family TN > TX -- Richard A. Lancaster

kaylancaster — 2012-02-19 11:46:05Z

I am looking for a Richard A. Lancaster born 1848 in TN. He lived in Marshall, TX as that is where my husband's grandfather was born, Nello Marcus Lancaster. Richard married Mary Reece Breeding. From what I gather Mary took the kids and went back to Salado, TX and lived with her family for a while. We don't know what happened to Richard. When Mary died in 1946 her death certificate states that he is dead.
Richard according to census had a sister named Callie.
Do you have any information you care to share?

chris_welch80 — 2012-01-11 05:50:29Z

Hello,

On my profile it showed that you were searching Lancaster's and also Hannah Harland. I have been researching my family tree the last few months and I also found a Hannah Harland and I am a Lancaster (now Welch). Pateley bridge has also come up in my findings and I think there may be a link somewhere for us to share info. The scary/funny thing is, chrismk4 profile pic has an eerily similarity to my grandad (Samuel Lancaster). Your pictures are nearly identical.

The family member I have found from Pateley Bridge is James F Lancaster who would be my grandad's grandad.

All the names you state below seem to be similar to the family names I have but some of the dates are off so maybe these are brothers/sisters/cousins of the family I have found? Robert, William, John, Mary come up quite a bit.

ANy information would be great. I look forward to hearing from you!

James Lancaster

jerrilyn273 — 2012-01-08 00:42:06Z

Looking for any info on James Lancaster who was born 1838-1840,not sure where. He apprenticed as a cooper in Ireland before immigrating to New York in the 1860's. He was Burt Lancaster's paternal grandfather and my greatgrandmother Bessie Lancasters as well. He married a Susannah Murray and they had 5 children. I can't find any info about him before New York and don't know where or when he died.

Re: John Milton Lancaster

I just logged onto this web site for the very first time and I couldn't believe that you were looking for information on John Milton Lancaster.

I was just looking at a page of information my mother gave me about him, he was my great, great grandfather.

Their childrens names were: William Rober Lancaster - 26 Aug. 1877 Izard County, Arkansas, Francis Wayne Lancaster - 8 Aug 1879 Buffalo, Marion County Ark., Sara Louise Lancaster (Lula) (my great grandmother) 24 Jan. 1882, Louiza Jane Lancaster (Jennie) - 26 Sept. 1884 Iuka, Izard County Ark., and Annie Canelya Lancaster - 14 July 1889.

My grandfather was Bryan Alfred Lancaster - 22 Feb. 1910 in Crossett, Arkansas

I hope this helps you. My mother may have more information.

Brad, you're right. I took a closer look at
the copy of the 1880 census I have and
it shows John Miltons' age as 42, not 32.
That would make his birth year 1838.
I glad the rest of you have been at this

2011-11-27 12:50:23Z

Brad. Found your reply. Would appreciate a text file on John Milton.
I made a info mistake in my posting, also. Eliza Jane was no the one
who was married 3 times. My Grandmother was. Sarah Louise Elendor was 1st
married to Jim Hill, 2nd to William O'Bryan and 3rd to my
grandfather William Henry Wheeler. My Grandmother divorced William
O'Bryan and Eliza Jane (Jennie) married him. Eliza Jane (GAunt Jennie and
William O'Bryan ended up in Colorado somewhere. GAunt Jennie must have
remarried after his death because in her later years, the pictures she
would send to my Grandmother were signed Jennie Cook.
We also have a picture of GUncle Willie and GAunt Dora Lancaster, GAunt Annie
and a picture of the Blacksmith shop that GUncle Willie and GUncle Frances ran.
My Mother thinks the Blacksmith shop was in Yellville, but couldn't remember
for sure. The copy of the 1880 census I have, shows John Miltons' age as 32 and
being born in Tennessee. Also, his wife, Elizabeth Mankin, being the same age and
also born in Tennessee. It only lists Willie and Frances as their children. The others
weren't born yet on that census. I plan to put some of these pictures on my
world tree file as I can get them scanned and uploaded. I don't much info on
this branch of my family, only what my Mother can remember being told by my
Grandmother. I'm putting pictures in my file because somewhere out there might
be decendants of these two people who don't have pictures of some of them and
they'll be able to download them and have copies for their files. It's a way
I can say thank you to people like you who do have names, dates and places.
I would be happy to share any info I do have that you might find useful.
