I think Nancy might have been born in1796 She might have been older then her husband They lied back then when thye were older then the husband I know because my mom was older and lied. But I found ONLY only Nancy in that era and her dad was Godfrey and mom was Annie Cordon Appreciate your thoughts.

Now I could be wring but my research led me to only one Nancy and her parents were from Nj. Dad wad Godfrey Rockefeller and mom was Annie Cordon also from NJ

No, my wife and I are both from Michigan and just moved to Oregon a few years ago. No relation to anyone on the west coast, our roots are firmly in Michigan for about 200 years.

Re: Nancy Rockefeller (Abt 1803-1871)

judeellen1950 — 2012-03-13 21:24:32Z

Is your wife related to any Kirby's from the Portland area? How old is your wife and who is her mother?

Re: Nancy Rockefeller (Abt 1803-1871)

ErikSchaefer — 2012-03-13 21:04:16Z

I haven't found any record of a Clarissa Baldwin. If you have documents I'd love to see them.

I found a few sources online and researchers in Knox County Ohio that suggested Nancy Rockefeller may have been Nancy Sergeant. I changed her name in my tree after I posted this message, in an attempt to find some new clues, but I never found anything concrete.

Mary Hoose (as far as I know) was William's second wife after Nancy died. She had been married to a man by the last name "Budd" and I have their marriage record in my tree so you can see it. They were too old for kids, but as far as I know William was only married to Nancy and Mary.

Re: Nancy Rockefeller (Abt 1803-1871)

ErikSchaefer — 2012-03-13 21:00:52Z

My wife's Grandmother's maiden name was Kirby.

I'm in Oregon right now, but our extended family still lives in Michigan, not far from Greenbush where some of the Kirby families are buried. Unfortunately I tried reaching out to someone at that cemetery and they don't have the actual burial records. They said at that time, they expected the families to keep records of their own burials. It's a very small cemetery in a rural area.

Re: Nancy Rockefeller (Abt 1803-1871)

ErikSchaefer — 2012-03-13 20:57:11Z

Do you think it is the same Nancy Rockefeller (b.1866) as what I have? If you are certain, then the death certificate must have her birthplace wrong. I'm certain she was born and raised in Greenbush.

Re: Nancy Rockefeller (Abt 1803-1871)

judeellen1950 — 2012-03-13 20:56:49Z

You show William Kirby to be married to a woman named Sargeant and another named Hoose. Did he have 4 wives? His first wife was Clarrissa Baldwin. I think!

I am sure I have many errors. Thank you so much for helping me I will take a look at your tree. I find if I leave this projectfor a break I really loose my momentun. I am going to go abck and figure out how I figured some of these things out.
Are you doing this for your wife? Who is she related to that lead you to this tree? Where are you located? I live on Mercer Island WA. I am following my mom's family.

ErikSchaefer — 2012-03-13 20:09:35Z

Hi Jude,

Looking at your tree, you might want to compare to mine. It appears you have Harriet Kirby born in Ireland. I have found her maiden name was Tinklepaugh and she was actually born in Michigan, though her parents were from New York. I have 2 generations past her.

You have a Jeremiah Lynch married to Nancy Kirby (b.1866). I don't know if that is right or wrong, but I can't find any record of a Jeremiah and Nancy Lynch in Michigan on the 1900 census. Maybe I'm missing something. So I'm curious about your sources. You also have that Nancy born in Boston which is decidedly not true. I have the 1850-1870 censuses with Nancy living in Michigan with her parents.

I'd love to work with you on this, if we can find anything about Nancy's mother (Nancy Rockfeller)

Elsie or Elizabeth Rockefeller and Johannes Rosenbach

Hello, I am looking for information as well as other family members who know about Elsie. From my records it shows that she was my 6th Great Grandmother. She was married to Johannes Rodenbach and they had a son Henry, who would have been my 5th great grandfather. There are many mixed up dates, documents, etc and I am trying to help put some of the missing pieces back together as well as meet some of my newly discovered Rockefeller family!
Any and all help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
thank you kindly,

Re: John Jay Bain Rockefeller

cmb10306 — 2011-04-29 12:30:59Z

It appears that John and Harriett had a son, John. My guess would be that he was born sometime between 1935-1942. Based on a few articles from Fulton History, John may have been born in Virginia. I did find that John Sr. had a sister, Elizabeth, who married Louis Potter. It looks as if they may have moved to NJ and then back to NY, but I'm not sure.

JoAnn,
Check out these birth/christening records I found on familysearch.org for Jacob F M Rockefeller, Annatye? Rockefeller, and Dennis Wycoff Rockefeller. All list the parents as William and Eve/a Becker.

https://familysearch.org/s/recordDetails/show?uri=http%3A%2F...

https://familysearch.org/s/recordDetails/show?uri=http%3A%2F...

I believe Anna Schaeffer's middle name was Eva, but that does not account for the surname being Becker. I am a decendent of Jacob. Just trying to put everything together.

Seeking info on John Jay Bain Rockefeller. John JB Rockefeller passed away in 1989 in North Carolina. His parents were Lewis Kirby Rockefeller and Clara Bain. I found that his wife's name was Harriet, but I'm looking for her maiden name. Based on some research, it may have been Clark, but looking for confirmation and also looking to see if there were any children. John JB was my cousin.

I'm looking for any additional info on the children of Spencer A. Rockefeller & Nettie Kirby Rockefeller. Children are: Grace (1873), Lewis Kirby (1875), Mabel (1887) & Nina (1893).

Nancy Rockefeller (Abt 1803-1871)

ErikSchaefer — 2010-07-09 21:45:27Z

My wife's 3x Great Grandfather was Emmett Kirby (24 Jun 1824 in Ohio - 13 Apr 1909 in Greenbush, MI). His death certificate lists his parents as William Kirby and Nancy Rockfeller, both from Ohio.

I was able to find Census records for William and Nancy Kirby for 1850,1860, and 1870. The 1850 census lists them as being from Maryland. 1860 says they were from Ohio. 1870 census says they were from Maryland.

There seems to be conflicting places of birth for them. The only source I have found for Nancy's maiden name is her son's death certificate as I said. I am not sure if it truly is "Rockfeller" or if there was a mistake and it was "Rockefeller".

Anything about Nancy, her parents, etc would be greatly appreciated.

My great-great grandmother was also Ardella Rockefeller Van Dyck. Her family did call her Della. She married Cornelius Van Dyck. She is mentioned in Cornelius' obituary. (I have a copy) Her parents are Jonas H. Rockefeller and Esther Ann Clarke. Ardella apparently had four brothers but I do not have info on them. George C. Van Dyck was his son & my grandmother's father. George C. Van Dyck married Anna May Hane. Hope this helps.

My Mother was a Rockefeller. Her name was Ethel Frances, born 9/05/07. She was the daughter of Ferdinand Rockefeller, the son of George R. & Anna Frances Briggs. George and Anna had George Howard, Nellie, Minnie, Sarah & Ferdinand (my grandfather). George Howard, who married Mable Knight had (according to my records) Cecil Helen, Frederick Howard, Harold Arthur, Leroy Alfred, Raymond Ralph, Kenneth Herbert, & Gladys Emma who died in infancy. For Leroy Alfred, I have that he married Alice McBride and had a daughter, Rita. I have that Rita married a Bill Swanson and they had James & Janice. If you can add anything thing else to any of this, I would greatly appreciate it. I was born and raised in New Jersey, but have lived in Pennsylvania all of my married life, which is almost 47 years.

Hi JoAnn
I received your email, but no attachment. (I'm new at using this board so I understand.)

Fred Coager was my g-grandfather. I am in contact with some of my Coager/Coger cousins in that area. We are having trouble finding Fred's father, Wm Harrison Coger's parents, no one in the family knows who they are. Thank you for your offer.

Where did you find the dates for Wm & Anna Rockefeller? I think their daughter may have married Adam H. Hager. Their daughter, Caroline Hager, married John Parker Chase an Caroline's d/c said her mother was Anna Rockefeller. I know there is a small grave yard behind the Abner Chase house with Rockefellers in it.

If you can't attach a file to this board, why don't you write me direct to cjmaine@maine.rr.com. My email address is on a lot of genealogy sites. I have been doing genealogy for almost 30 years now.

Looking forward to hearing from you

Hi JoAnn
Thank you for answering my request. I sent you a reply yesterday and when I check the site today it wasn't listed so I thought I would write again just to make sure you got my message.

Yes, I do think this is my Rockefeller, and yes, I did miss spell the name. It should have an 'e' in it.

I wrote to the Schoharie Co Historical Society asking about the Rockefelles that were burried behind the Abner Chase house in a private plot... I wonder if this is the plot you found?

I would love pictures of the stones you talked about.

I did some checking with the LDS Library and found a Wm Rockefeller in Amwell, NJ... but the dates don't match as you said... I wonder why? I guess this is going to be another problem family to research. It is a good thing I love genealogy... I have 30 years into it.

Would love to hear from you and any information that you would like to share on this family. If there is any of my genealogy you are interested in please let me know as I would be happy to share.

Thank you for answering me. I really appreciate it.

Hello Carolyn,
Recently I have been researching my husband's family which also came from Fulton, Schoharie Co., NY. Could you be looking for an Anna Rockefeller (Rockfeller) who was born 11 May 1803? If this is the same person, her parents were William and Ann (Anna) Schaeffer Rockefeller. This summer my husband and I found their gravestones in an unkept private plot in Breakabeen, NY. If this is the same person Anna's siblings were--Dennis Wycoff, Ambrose Spencer, Magdelena, John, Henry and Jacob F.M. Rockefeller.
My husband's descendant was Dennis Wycoff. I have traced Anna's father William back to Rocktown, Amwell, NJ, but as with all genealogical records the dates don't exactly match. William's gravestone engraving wasn't completed, but had a W.R. However, Ann's stone was beautifully engraved. Ann was born 4 Sept 1775 and if the stone is correct, died 11 Sept 1847. I would be happy to send you a photo of the gravestones if you think these are relatives. Good Luck.

Re: William Henry Rockefeller in Bath NY circa 1850

alygal_1 — 2008-06-17 15:56:01Z

Pat,

THANK YOU very much for this information. (How did you do that?)

Yes, I believe it may be the family I am looking for. My search had been too narrow I think. I am realizing that people moved around more than I thought, in search of work no doubt.

After Maria was widowed, she and her family moved up to Schroeppel and worked on the canal. John was a canal boat captain. Sister Kitty served as a canal boat cook for a time. Later, Kitty's son and my great-grandfather, William Henry Beach, was a canal boat "driver" in his youth. He later became a dentist, and then a dental inspector for the State of NY.

Thank you again Pat. I'm most appreciative.

The 1850 census shows the following family in Cohoes, Albany Co., NY, pg. 177 indexed as Rockfelen. I think it`s your Rockefellers. The last letter in the name looks like an R to me.

William Henry Rockefeller in Bath NY circa 1850

alygal_1 — 2008-06-17 07:21:24Z

I found a newsclipping sent to my father from my grandmother. It says that "our uncle John Rockefeller's father, William Henry Rockefeller, was a builder, who died in an old soldier's home in Bath, NY."

The family later moved to Oswego County but I wonder if there is anyway I can find where the old soldier's home in Bath is/was. I cannot find any other information on William H Rockefeller. His children were born in the 1840's and I'm guessing he died in the 1850's.

His wife was a Maria Hubbs. There were 3 children: William, John, and Catherine Elizabeth ('Kitty'). The family settled in Schroeppel, Oswego County where John was a canal boat captain. John married a cousin; Emma Candee later in life.

Family records sometimes spell the surname as Rockefellow.
