More Chaplains of the Navy 1812-1836.

dsegelquist — 8 Sep 2008 4:42:24 GMT

These Chaplain names come off the Register of the navy they cover the years of 1812 to 1836. I had just posted another list called “Chaplains of the Army and Navy” although there were hundreds of names on that list I don’t believe any of these names were on it. If you had a ancestor who was a navy chaplain, or you need to look up one I would look over both list.

My grandparent's Pictorial Bible, 1886, contains, in addition to both Testaments, the writings of Dr. William Smith, Dean Milman, Rev. John Kitto DD and Drs. Von Ewald and Michelson. Do these Bible scholars represent a particular Protestant denomination? Any clues will be most welcome.

Need some expert assistance identifying denomination...

SEVENZNUFF — 21 Nov 2007 3:53:04 GMT

I have the marriage record for a couple, and nothing much to go on to help break down the brick wall of the wife's lineage...or even clues as to her birth date.

So I am thinking that if we can determine this minister's denomination, I can look in Church records for the next part of the trail.

On 18 March 1841, M. P. Utderman married my grandmother's 2nd great grandparent's, Samuel W Bassett and Jane Ann Dunham. His signature was followed by the phrase "Minister of the Gospel"...
This union took place in Mansfield, Bristol County, Massachusetts.

Samuel came from a long line of Puritans (and a few Quakers). I know nothing of her ancestral religous preferences...their descendants worshiped in Wisconsin as Methodist Episcopal, but that may have been due to the availability of the church in this new area.

I could use some help on this one.
My only other birth data comes from census information, putting her born about 1818...Massachusetts.

Thank you.

Burrell TOBBS, Mn. of Gospel: Harrison County, TX 1884

Felecia — 3 Apr 2006 2:31:07 GMT

I recently received a Marriage Record for my Great GreatGrandparents, Sonnie Norris and Sallie Robinson who married on March 13, 1884 in Harrison County, Marshall, Texas.

A Minister of the Gospel, most likely Baptist, signed as having performed the Ceremony his name, BURRELL TOBBS. The two r's in Burrell could be s's but, I think they're r's.

BURRELL TOBBS had to be a Minister in the Harrison County area to have performed the service. Love to hear from anyone having another Marriage Certificate signed by the same Minister reply with more information if possible.

I have looked for this person in the 1880 Census but, no sign of him and I do not have access to other years. Appreciate any threads that might lead me to this Minister. My goal is to find out who both parents of the Bride are and who was the Father of the Groom?

Both the Bride and Groom are African American so the chances are very high that the Minister was as well but, not absolute.

I urgently seek any details about the Rev Edward Lowry Barnwell, (about 1812 - 1887) who was a minister of religion in the UK (probably Wales) and who in 1867 published a book entitled 'PERROT NOTES'.

E.M. Bounds, famous Methodist minister - Shelby Co., MO

elizabethmphillips — 7 Nov 2005 10:58:51 GMT

This is not exactly a genealogical question, but it is a historical question. The famous minister, E.M. Bounds, from what I have heard, came from Shelby County. Is there any information about his life there or someone or somewhere that I could contact about this.

BTW - my husband's grandfather and father were from Shelby County. My husband was born in Columbia. AND we are researching the surname PHILLIPS (in Shelby Cty. from about 1867 or so) also ...

Also we're asking about an M.E. South minister named Robert McIvoy, who was married to Gertrude Phillips not sure when, but maybe 1890 to 1900 or so possibly

Sister of Mercy 1907-1917

judyturnerfamily — 11 Oct 2004 3:36:10 GMT

I am new to this list and I am living no rock un turned! I have a brick wall for my grandmother Lillian Odeal BONIN or BENHAM. The family story is that she was a Sister of Mercy in Montreal, Canada about 1907-1917. She would have been 21 years old in 1907. She was born in Willsboro, Essex County, New York. Her parents were French Canadian. My mother remembers my father stating that she was a cloister nun and that she was sent to her parents in 1917 after contracting TB. To my knowledge she never return to her order and in 1921 maried my grandfather Frances Leo Doyle in Rutland, Rutland, Vermont where her parents had relocated sometime between 1905-1910. The only other area the family could have lived in was between 1901-1907 her father Eugene BONIN is documentated as working and living in Norwich, New London, CT. I am trying to find her relgions records. Any help or suggestions for research would be most appreciated.

Thank you,

Listing of Catholic Priests in Bavaria anddates/places of their First Masses

mallen1720 — 12 Mar 2003 2:56:34 GMT

Hello everyone!

I was looking through my mother's old collection of Catholic holycards
and realized that she had several that were given as rememberances
of the first Mass that newly ordained priests celebrated. I wondered
if this kind of information might be helpful for others, so I decided to
go through the cards and send the names and dates to the list.
Perhaps some of these men are related to your ancestors. Most of
the towns/cities mentioned are in the Oberpfalz/Bavaria.

HOLZ, Joh. Bapt. ~ celebrated his first Mass in the parish church of
Wiesenfelden, July 18, 1911.

BAUER, Johann ~ first Mass in the parish church of Luhe, July 16,
1907.

STANGL, Johann ~ first Mass in the parish church of
Windischeschenbach, June 21, 1899.

WIEDL, Lorenz ~ first Mass in the parish church of
Windischeschenbach, May 18, 1892.

BUSCH, Joh. B. ~ first Mass in the parish church of Kirchenpingarten,
June 8, 1903.

PONNATH, Lorenz ~ first Mass in the parish church of Stadt-
Kemnath, June 13, 1900.

BERGLER (?), Alfons ~ first Mass in the parish church of
Windischeschenbach, July 15, 1912.

MAERKL, P. Albert ~ of the Augustinian Order ~ first Mass in the
pilgrimage church at Fuchsmühl, August 9, 1903.

EBNER, Ernst ~ first Mass in the parish church in Achslach, July 16,
1907. I have other cards showing him as assistant pastor at
Windischeschenbach in 1909.

In addition to these cards, there was a card to remember August
BERTELT, the assistant pastor of the parish church in
Windischeschenbach in 1908.

Hope this helps someone.

Ezra POTTER - Church of England Missionary

Carol Potter Meadows — 28 Aug 2001 2:15:47 GMT

I am searching for information on my great great greaat grandfather, Ezra Potter. Family lore has it that he came to the colonies prior to 1800 as a Church of England missionary and married a Native American woman (name unknown) and was subsequently relieved from his post. He supposedly came first to CT, then must have been in NY because my great great grandfather was born in NY. My great great grandfather later settled in Wayne County, PA. I don't know if Ezra ever lived in PA. I have contacted the Church of England Missionary Society and they had no record of him. However, they added that they did not sponsor all missionaries who came to the colonies. They did tell me that at that time missionaries were ordained clergymen. If anyone can shed some light on the family story, I'd really appreciate it. You can contact me at my personal email: cmmeadows2@aol.com. Thank you, Carol.

I am trying to obtain any information on my great-grandfather, Rev. William B. Crewdson and wife Marilda Gammon Crewdson who was the founding minister for the Christian Church in Logan, IA. They had one son, William Dow Crewdson, who was also an ordained minister in the Christian Church. They also had three daughters, Essie, Emma and Ola who was my grandmother. She married Wilbur Owen Froggatt and they lived in Knoxville, IA for many years where Wilbur owned and operated a furniture store and undertaking parlor, FROGGATT & ROBERTS.

If you have any information on these individuals, please contact me. Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to give me in finding out more about my family tree.

This is a board where we can all input our ancestors that were clergy. No matter what the faith. A common ground so to speak with each of us giving their children and parents. That way a connection can be made and back one more generation. I have a lot of clergy in my families and look forward to posting them. Glitz
