1791.
Much more data on the William Tallman family can be located on the
Internet
address http://booneinfo.com/tallman/fam03909.htm.William Tallman,
and
Anne Lincoln their son, Benjamin, married Dinah Boone. Dinah Boone
is Daniel
Boone's first cousin. (See Chart, page 535 in Spraker's "The Boone
Family"
BIR: DEA: MAR: Greater Tallman Family Newsletter Summer 1994. They
resided
near Reading, then Philadelphia County, Pa. then Berks Co., and had
11
children. By 1776 all of them had died except the eldest, son, Benjamin
born 1745. William Tallman listed in the PennArchives, Third Series,
Vol
15. It is well known by TALLMAN Historians that William TTALLMAN was
born
in Rhode Island to Benjamin Tallman and Patience Durfee. All of this
is
based on William Tallman's Bible that has the entree "William Tallman
born
in Bode Island". This very well could be Rhode Island, but it also
could
be New Jersey. Which would change the progenitors of William. I have
not
been able to prove either birth place at this time. So I will go along
with the Rhode Island theory until I can prove otherwise, being there
are
other evidences to lean in the Rhode Island direction. Early in life
William
left Rhode Island and probably spent some time in Burlington and Monmouth
Co., New Jersey with his cousins. He later went to Berks Co., Pa. The
records
in Rhode Island and Berks county Pennsylvania gave his occupation as
a
weaver once and as an innkeeper, but usually as a farmer. After he
came
to Berks County, Pa. he was married to Ann Lincoln on 20 Oct. 1740
or 41.
(Incidentally President Abraham Lincoln is a lineal descendent of Ann
Lincoln's
brother, John Lincoln. John Lincoln was the Great Grand-father to Abraham).
Ann was the daughter of Mordecai and Hannah (Salters) Lincoln. The
Lincolns
came from Hingham, near Warwick, in Norfolk County, Eastern England.
Samuel
Lincoln, the grand-father of Mordecai Lincoln, came to Salem, Massachusetts
in 1637, and later lived in Hingham, Mass. Mordecai Lincoln was an
iron
founder and came to Monmouth Co., New Jersey.

Sally Goulis
Query: My mother and her parents were
originally from
Philadelphia.
My maternal grandfather's name was Carl ELDRIDGE. He married my
maternal grandmother sometime between 1915 and 1923. Her maiden
name was Nina Louise CAMP,or CAMPE. I am trying desperately to
track
down any information I can on them, and their ancestors. Carl
Eldridge
died sometime in the early l920's when my mother was just a toddler.
Nina Louise Camp Eldridge never remarried, nor did she ever
have anymore children. Her biological parents died,[I've been told
of accidental death} when she was a young child. She was raised
by foster parents. So I'm not even sure if CAMP or CAMPE is her
biological
name or her adoptive name. All I know is that the foster father
that
raised her was a doctor. Any direction that you can send me in,
or
any information you can give me would greatly appreciated. Thank
you.

for HENRY S
MILLER. According to his tombstone and obituary, he was born
November 7,
1826 in Maidencreek Township, Berks County, PA. Howvever, I can
not find
any records of his birth. Recent informatin points to strong
evidence
that his parents are HENRY and ELIZABETH (SEIDEL) MILLER. ELIZABETH
is
the daughter of the wealthy land owner HENRY SEIDEL who died in 1847.
According to HENRY SEIDEL's will, HENRY and ELIZABETH had five children,
two sons and three daughters. The two sons were SAMUEL(born Mt.
Pleasant
Twp, Columbia County, PA in 1818) and HENRY S. MILLER. Since
no evidence
of HENRY MILLER's birth has been found, I feel it may be possible that
he
was also born in Columbia County. HENRY SEIDEL owned a plantation
and
mill in Mt. Pleasant Twp, Columbia Co. Any information on this
HENRY S
MILLER would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

conflicting stories of parentage:
(1)I have a 2nd hand geneology list that says Wm Henry Bollinger(B1750-
D1840PA) was the father of Frederick Bollinger(B1865-D1843)who married
Elizabeth (Betsy)Weaver they had either 17/20 children (I can only
list
17).
(2)What I have gathered on the web (ancestry.com) to be exact, Issac
Bollinger (B1738-D1770) was the father of Frederick Bollinger.
Does anyone have concrete information on this? I am descended
from
Frederick Bollinger and would like to clear this up. Also, if
Issac
Bollinger is indeed the father of Frederick (I believe he is), then
where
does Wm. Henry Bollinger fit in? I have not been able to successfully
find anything on him at all. Any clarity on this would be greatly

Query: GEORGE; William. I am
searching for William
GEORGE who was born 1838 in Germany. He married a Hannah DUNDORE
who was
born in Ohio. However, the DUNDORE family was from around the
Berks
area. (Jacob DUNDORE was her ancestor; Philip and Maria Woods
DUNDORE
were her parents.) Other relatives (KEMMERER, STONER) came from
around
this area also and settled in the Naperville/Plainfield , Illinois
area.
Also, a large number of families from Berks Co area came and settled
in
the same Illinois area. Do not know when William GEORGE came
to America
or where he lived before reaching Illinois. Am hoping to find
some
connection to these other PA families. He was born September,
1838.
Thanks for any help!

Query: I am looking for information
on Robert MCCARTNEY.
He and his wife Mary _________ who immigrated from Ireland.
They had 14 or 15 children. George Otto MCCARTNEY was born
in Bucks County PA in 1832. They apparantly moved to Tusc. Co.
Ohio in 1864. It is thought that a good part of the family
stayed in Pennsylvania in Berks and Bucks counties. I only
have several childrens names. They are: Robert K., Al,
Joe,
Dorey, Charley & H.M. (obviously some must be nick names).
Any information regarding Robert MCCARTNEY or his wife Mary, who lived
in
the
area, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Kara Hanna

Query: Someone knowledgeable about
Passenger lists might
be able to help me as I have exhausted my leads.
My Greatgrandfather, John Henry Miller (Mueller) was born in Bavaria
Germany in 1847 and brought to this country by his parents circa 1849.
Since John Henry raised his family in Minersville, PA, (I have family
birth records and the 1880 US Census as confirmation) I would guess
he
and his parents entered via Phila. I have written To Phila and National
Archives but not knowing John H. parents names have gotten nowhere
and
John H. Miller's parents names remain a mystery.
Any ideas would be very appreciated.
Regards, Bert Miller

Michael Kloenne
Query: Heinrich BIEBER and Eva Catharina
DRIESS
Eva Catharina DRIESS was born in 1755, baptized at the
Allemaengel Church in Albany Township, Berks County, PA.
She married a Heinrich BIEBER who according Rev.
Schumacher's records was confirmed at Weissenberg Church,
Weissenberg Township, Lehigh County, in 1766. I suspect
this couple married c. 1772. Their first son, Johann George
Bieber was baptized on 4 July 1773 at the New Allemaengel
Church, Albany Township, Berks County, PA. I believe this
family acquired land in Rowan County, NC, in 1785. They had
other children. I'm looking for any information anyone can
provide on this family.
