Re: Darwin Zeek, 1851-1928, Illinois

QuakerLine — 2011-01-01 19:57:30Z

I have not located him in the 1860 census. His father, William, m2:(1857) Christine E. BLAINE. I am looking for 1860 ZEEKs in order to locate the missing 1860 BLAINEs. My thought is that Darwin ZEEK might be living near the BLAINEs in 1860. Possibly (as was common) children are listed with the head-of-household (step-father?) surname. Handwriting (SPELLING!!) and photo-quality is just awful in some of the LaSalle and Lee county entries. I've tried Parwin for Darwin, etc. Onward!

Looking for Joey Zeek

ZEECK THROOP MEDLIN Family Ancestors

vietaczeeck — 2010-04-13 18:39:55Z

We are looking for information about the John Zeeck who married Permelia Throop in Platte City, MO in 1841. The 1850 census says John was born in Bavaria (now Germany). They had 3 children that we are aware of: Charles William who later died in TX. John F. who later died in TX. The daughter, Sarah, was born about 1847-1849 (1850 census), but we cannot trace her forward from 1850. John and Permelia seem to have disappeared after the 1850 census, even though her parents moved to the Peters Colony in TX and are buried in the Denton, TX area. Permelia's mother was Hannah MEDLIN THROOP.

Re: German City Of Birth John Zeek 1818

casaelverano — 2010-04-13 06:25:10Z

Thanks for your reply. My Zeeks were married in Germany before coming to New Jersey where they lived the rest of their lives.

Good luck with your search.

Re: German City Of Birth John Zeek 1818

vietaczeeck — 2010-04-11 00:42:22Z

We are looking for German city of birth for our John ZEECK (CEEK on marriage document in Missouri, USA).
He was married to Permelia THROOP in 1841 in Platte Co., Missouri, USA.
They were listed on Missouri - 1850 - census, but cannot locate John and Permelia after that date.
Their children were Charles William, John and Sarah listed on the 1850 census.
Charles William was my great-grandfather.

Re: Rachel (ZEEK) Lewis

susanreighard — 2009-06-18 19:59:24Z

Hi--
My great-great grandfather was Rachel's brother Michael Zeek. His parents were Peter and Margaret (McConnell) Zeek, which was originally Zick. Peter and his parents (Michael and Catherine Diessel)and siblings came to the U.S. (Baltimore) from Buchelberg, Germany in 1832 and eventually ended up in Huntington County, PA by about 1836. Peter was 10 when they immigrated. When he was a little older he moved to Blair County with his older brother Franz Zick. Franz, now Frank Zeak, settled in Altoona, PA and Peter and Margaret (now Zeek) settled in Hollidaysburg. I can't remember how many children they had off the top of my head, but Rachel was the youngest and I believe that she was named after her grandmother Rachel McConnell. The McConnells were from County Antrim, Ireland and settled in Newry, PA.
I hope this helps. Please share what you do know.
Thanks!

obit for Vance Zeek, born 1893, died 1955 Kansas

CherylWhite9962 — 2009-01-02 04:00:50Z

Minneapolis Messenger, Ottawa County, Kansas, Nov. 3, 1955, page 3:
Vance Edward Zeek, only son of Frank and Anna Swoyer Zeek, was born January 2, 1893 on the farm of his grandfather, Joseph Swoyer, in the Sylvan Grove neighborhood, Ottawa County, Kansas.
He attended school at District 49 and grew to manhood on his parents' farm west of Minneapolis, where he lived all of his life.
Vance was one of the well known farmers of that area. His farm home was one of his prized possessions. Every thing about the place was always kept in the best of condition.
Mr. Zeek died of a sudden heart attack Sunday night, October 23. Surviving are his widow, Jane, of the home; a stepson, Jackson Scheibeler, of Vancouver, Wash.; one sister, Mrs. David Fleming, of Denver, Colorado; his aunt, Mrs. Margaret VanDoren, of Minneapolis; and a number of cousins.
He was a member of the Ada Baptist church and for a number of years was on the board of directors of the Farmers Elevator Company at Minneapolis. He will be remembered by many as a reliable worker, a helpful friend and neighbor.
Funeral services were held at the Minneapolis Baptist church Thursday afternoon, with the Rev. William Shroyer officiating. He used as his text from the 10th Chapter of the Gospel of John, "The Good Shepherd."
Mrs. Howard Chambers sang, accompanied by Mrs. Bill Hemenway. Honorary pallbearers were F.L. Galpin, Fred Jagger, Tom Pogue, and Jim Brown. Pallbearers were Everett Harris, Charles Carlson, G.W. Lempenau, Lee I. Baccus, Walter Wesley, Bob Robins, E.J. Gantenbein and Glenn Beichley. Burial was in Highland cemetery. The Fouts Funeral Home was in charge of the arrangements.

Minneapolis Messenger, Ottawa County, Kansas, Feb. 13, 1930, page 1:
Frank Zeek Dies
Frank Zeek died at his home eight miles west of Minneapolis Monday night at 11:30 after an illness of two weeks..
Mr. Zeek was 73 years of age and had been a resident of Ottawa county since 1878. He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. D.A. Fleming of Salina and a son, Vance Zeek of the Ada community.
Funeral services will be held this Thursday afternoon at 2:30 from the Linus B. Smith Funeral Home.

Minneapolis Messenger, Ottawa County, Kansas, Feb. 20, 1930, page 1:
Courthouse news -- On the 17th, Vance E. Zeek was appointed administrator of the estate of W.F. Zeek. (also) page 6: William Franklin Zeek was born January 27, 1857 at Eaton, Ohio, and passed away at his home eight miles west of Minneapolis, February 10, 1930, aged 73 years and 14 days.
In 1878 he came to Kansas to make his home and was married January 25, 1885 to Miss Anna Elizabeth Swoyer, who died February 3, 1925. The two children born to this union are Mrs. Helen Fleming, of Salina; and Vance Zeek, of Fountain township. Four sisters also survive, Miss Dessie Zeek and Miss Ella Zeek, of Eaton, Ohio; Mrs. Beatrice Wagoner, of Miami, Florida; and Mrs. Susana Kemper of Dayton, Ohio.
Frank Zeek was a quiet, unassuming man. For more than fifty years he was one of Ottawa County's substantial farmers. His well kept farm and yard testify to his industry and his love of order and beauty. His death marks the passing of another pioneer.
Funeral services in charge of Rev. B.B.Sapp, of Ada, were held at the Linus B. Smith Funeral Home Thursday afternoon. Mrs. L.E. Harvey and Mrs. F.G. Cromley sang two selections. Interment was in Highland cemetery.

Re: Zeeks/Zeeck's of Darke Co, Ohio

BJMcNamara2542 — 2008-05-17 12:15:15Z

I realize Darke Co is located just north of Preble Co. Do you know if Laura Stella Zeek is a member of your family?

Laura married Willis L. Bunch and they lived in Preble Co near Eaton. According to her obit, she was born in 1865 and died 12 Jul 1935.

I am trying to determine if Willis and Laura are the couple who raised an orphan child, John McNamara (my grandfather). He referred to them only as "Uncle Will and Aunt Laura" (no surname) and had left their home by 1905.

Thank you.

LAURA STELLA ZEEK (1865-1935) m. Willis L. Bunch (1868-1951) Preble Co OH

BJMcNamara2542 — 2008-05-17 12:07:21Z

am seeking information on Willis L. Bunch born c1868 Preble Co OH, d. 30 Aug 1951 at Duke Rest Home in Jamestown. He was married to Laura Stella Zeek born c1865, d. 12 Jul 1935. Both are buried in Mound Hill Cemetery, Preble Co OH. Obits list three children:

1. Charles Eugene Bunch who lived in Dayton in 1935
2. Marie Bunch m. Charles Wynkoop - Marie d. 1926
3. Esta Bunch m. ?? Hapner

My grandfather, John McNamara, was orphaned as a young child and raised by "Uncle Will and Aunt Laura" in the Eaton OH area. I do not know the surname of the couple who raised him. My grandfather left this home between 1893-1903, and was living in Cincinnati in 1906.

My grandfather said that Uncle Will was a wheat farmer and his farm was between Eaton OH and Richmond IN. He said Uncle Will lost a great deal of money in the "wheat bust" of the 1880s.

I have searched for over 40 years to locate and identify the "Uncle Will and Aunt Laura" in Preble Co OH who raised my grandfather.

As far as I know, my grandfather, John McNamara, was born in Lexington KY on 30 Apr 1884 (one record says he was born in 1874). His SS form said his parents were: Frank McNamara and Mary McCoy. I have not confirmed this with marriage or death records.

The family story is that his mother died when he was a baby and his father was killed on the courthouse steps -- no other details. Why was this chld taken from Lexington to Eaton? What relationship to him was Uncle Will and Aunt Laura?

If anyone can get in touch with these BUNCH descendants, please ask them to contact me directly at: mart2542@aol.com

I am now 70 years old. I have searched for over 50 years to identify the couple who raised my grandfather to determine their relationship to him and hopefully to further identify my grandfather's parents. Thank you.

Re: Darwin Zeek, 1851-1928, Illinois

marciadarnell — 2008-05-05 02:41:26Z

No, 1851 is not correct. He was fifteen when he enlisted, and the youngest man in the 104Th according toW> W> Calkins' book.

Yes, please tell me when your book is published. I went to see where the 104TH fought at lookout Mountain, and I am certain you will have a lot of new information for me to use.

Thank you so much for this information--it puts me one generation further back from my great grandfather.

By the way, although other family members spelled Mahannah the way you do, this branch used the "h".

Please send me your email address if you want another generation for Rcah Mahannah.

steveadolphson — 2008-05-04 11:04:50Z

Thank you for your confirmation of Darwin Zeek's date of birth and other vital dates. He certainly lived a good long life, and must have been a picture of good health, not applying for a pension until well advanced in years. If there are family members interested, please send me names and addresses and I will notify them when my book about the 104th Illinois is ready for distribution.

Re: Darwin Zeek, 1851-1928, Illinois

dennisohl — 2008-05-04 05:07:47Z

Darwin Zeek is the son of William Zeek (b ca 1822 Indiana) and Ann E unknown (b ca 1826 New York), and he was born October 1, 1846 in Illinois. See the 1850 Census for Mission Township, LaSalle County, Illinois. He was in Amboy, Lee County, Illinois by 1870 when he married at that place Emma Jane Mahanna (daughter of James Mahanna and his 2nd wife Rebecca Adams - Rebecca was a widow and living with the Zeek family in the 1880 Census). Darwin and Emma were still living in Amboy at the time of the 1920 census. He filed for a military pension March 9, 1893.

Re: Darwin Zeek, 1851-1928, Illinois

steveadolphson — 2008-03-08 17:35:35Z

I have made a life-long study of the 104th Illinois. Here's what I can tell you about him: he was 5'5" tall,fair complexion,blue eyes, dark hair. Born in LaSalle County. Farmer when he enlisted fron Ottawa. Discharged January 4,1865 at Savannah, Georgia on account of disability.

Are you sure he was born in 1851? He gave his age at time of enlistment as 15. If 1851 is correct, that would make him only 11 years old.

Re: zeek

2005-05-22 15:26:32Z

I have the 1880 census but is very hard to read, I show Sarah E. b. Aug 07, 1872. Also that Richards parents were William Zeek b. 1815 Ky. and Elenor Clevinger b. abt. 1813 Ky.
In the 1880 Ohio census, I show William age 58, Millie as wife (does this mean he was married twice) age 60, Martha Chambers age 35, John Kitchen age 16, James age, maybe 10, Mary ? age 33, Sarah age 24 or 29, I think Joseph Williams age looks like 26, Alixaxder Williams age 8, James Williams age 32 or 33, William Williams age 6, ? age maybe 5, and martha J. age 9/12 months. Looks like there might be more living in the same household, this is at the end of the page and I did not copy the next page, If you would like a copy of what I have, you can e-mail me at oh_nutin_honey@yahoo.com

Re: Michael Zeak of Huntingdon County, PA

Would you be willing to provide me with the source of the information that you posted? I, too,descend from a John ZEEK, but that is about all of the information that I have. His daughter, Mary Ann ZEEK was my second great grandmother--she was born 13 Jan 1882/32 in Wayne County Indiana, and died 4 January 1917. She married a WHITE, a SHRINER, a STAMP, and an O'BRIEN.

Thanks in advance for any information.

Hello Susan,

My name is Michele Bonotto Watters. I came across your message regarding Michael and Catherine Zick. I am a descendant from Harry T Zeak, son of John Zeak, who is the son of Frank Zeak (Zick), who is the son of Michael Zick. Lot's of sons there!! Anyways, according to some family information my GGGGreat Grandfather and GGGGreat Grandmother Michael and Catherine came over from a little country between France and Germany. The name is Alslaps Lorraine. Forgive me on the spelling. I was explained that this little country was always at war. If Germany won the country was German, if France won they were French. Apparently GGGGGrandpa left when they were under German occupation--giving us the history of being german.

According to your message your found information on them in Allegheny county PA. My GGreat Grandfather John died in Altoona, Pa and Great Grandfather Harry was born and raised in Altoona, PA Could this make us related???

Please contact me, maybe we can share the information we have.

Thank you,
Michele

My mother told me she had a half-sister Shirley and two half-brothers, Henry and John.

Re: zeek

I have always had it from my grandmother, Lucille Zeek, John Zeek's second wife, that his mother's name was Mary not Martha.
Also, I was told that John B Zeek was born in 1884 and married twice. Can you relate on this Lydia Peters? I've never heard of her before. Could this be a mix-up or am I missing information?

In the 1880 US Census Records, I have located some information:
Richard Zeek b. 1846 in Kentucky, lived in Ironton, Lawrence County, Ohio during 1880. He was married to Mary(Kitchen) b. 1847 in Kentucky. Here are the children that they had up to 1880: Jacob L. b. 1870, Sarah E. b. 1873, Arminta 1875, William D. (I believe to be David as that is my uncle's name) b. 1878 in Va. The other children listed were born in KY.
Richard's parents were William b. 1814 (VA) & Ellen Cleavinger(?) (or Eleanor on some records) b. 1823 (VA).

In 1880 Richard worked in a sawmill and William was a carpenter. Their wives were homemakers.

I hope this information is correct and helpful.

Does your Michael Zeek have any ties to Rachel (ZEEK) Lewis?

I am searching for information regarding my great-grandmother Rachel (ZEEK) Lewis. She was married to Euclid Lewis and had three daughters: Mary Ann (Lewis) Slagle; May (Lewis) Sheasley; Emma (Lewis) Rupp.
I am not sure if the couple spent their entire lives in the Huntingdon area.

Hi--
I'm looking for information on the Michael Zeak that shows up in the 1840 PA Census. It lists him as living in Franklin Township, Huntingdon County. I'm trying to link him to the Zeeks/Zeaks in Blair County, PA. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
