Da Holger Envoldsen den ældre døde i 1807, blev ved samfrændeskifte mellem sønnen Holger Envoldsen den yngre og stedmoren Isabelle Envoldsen forretningen og huset i 21. rode nr. 23 overdraget sønnen. Da imidlertid denne tillige drev kjøbmandshandel, blev bokbinderiet og bokhandelen bestyret av Frands Dekke Beyer, som fra 1813 til 1819 var mestersvend hos Envoldsen.

Frands Dekke Beyer var født i Bergen 2. oktober 1794 og tilhørte en bergensk haandverkerslegt. Hans far Morten Beyer (f. 1/1 1760, død 10/4 1821) var skomakermester i Bergen, gift med Anna Margarethe Dekke (Dieche). Hans far igjen Absalon Beyeyer var fra Nordfjord og kom som ung i 1750 i skomakerlære i Bergen. Efter familjetradisjonen nedstammet han fra sogneprest til Indviken i Nordfjord Absalon Jørgensen Beyer (1625-1670), der igjen var en sønnesøns søn av den bekjendte bergensprest Absalon Pedersøn Beyer.

Frands Dekke Beyer begyndte som bokbinderlærling i 1809. I 1813 blev han mestersvend hos Holger Envoldsen den yngre. Beyer var en sjelden paapasselig og flink svend, som i alle dele hadde sin mesters tillid og agtelse. Under Envoldsen sygdom i 1818 blev Beyer betroet at styre ogsaa hans kjøbmandsforretning. I et brev, dat. 16. juli 1818, til sin bror Thron Beyer, som dengang opholdt sig i Hamburg, skriver han i den anledning bl. a.:

"Og saa lidet jeg end forstaar handel, maa jeg dog agere herskab, som Nordfareren siger. Den gamle (Isabelle Envoldsen) er stedse frisk, idag er hun lidt syg, men imorgen er hun igjen frisk. Hvorledes det er med mig, kan du let forestille dig, nnaar jeg siger, jeg har det saaledes, at jeg aldrig faar det bedre, og dog, er det ikke utaknemmelig, ønsker jeg en forandring - jeg er snart 24 aar - ikke meget, men nok til at jeg ikke skulde ønske, gid jeg kunde begynde for mig selv for at se, hvorledes det vilde blive med min levevei i fremtiden. Nu er man bedst skikket til at efterabe moder, nu fatter man alt bedre, og endnu er sjæleevnerne i sine bedste kræfter, for at om modgang skulde komme, da at staa dem imod.....

Ved du da ikke, siger jeg, at jeg hele dagen er inde om 4 kalkede vægge, madame Envoldsen paa 79 og en svag pige paa 52 aar er mit daglige selskab, saa at jeg har nok med at vogte mig for melankoli."

Forandringen skulde ogsaa snart komme. Den sykelige bataljonskommandør, kjøbmand og bokbinder Holger Envoldsen døde nemlig 17. mars 1819. Hans enke Elen Envoldsen, født Wallem, solgte derfor ved skjøte dat. 31. juli 1819 baade huset og bokbinderiet med bokhandelen til Beyer med det forbehold, at den da i huset værende gamle enke Isabelle Envoldsen skulde forbli der - eller ved forandring paa et andet bekvemt sted - til hendes død, og at hun av Beyer skulde nyde alt til livets ophold samt anstændige klæder, og ved hendes dødelige avgang skulde give hende en sømmelig begravelse. Til erstatning herfor, heter det videre i skjøtet, og til et erkjendelsesbevis fra sælgerens side for de mange aar hr. Beyer hadde været hos hendes salig mand og hans moder, hvor han stedse hadde opført sig, som det egner et habilt og ærekjært ungt menneske, overlod hun ham som sin sande eiendom alt i huset sig befindende indbo samt alt forefindende bokbinder værktøi, alt tilligemed den forommeldte faste eiendom for den modererende summa 800 speciedaler.

Den 24. august 1819 tok derfor Frands Dekke Beyer borgerskap som bokbinder og begyndte saaledes, som han hadde ønsket sig, sin egen forretning under navn av Fr. D. Beyer. Egentlig fortsatte han jo Envoldsens forretning, som begyndte i 1771. Derfor staar der jo ogsaa i firmaet F. Beyers firmamerke aarene 1771 og 1819. Som før er paavist, hadde der like side 1723 været drevet bokbinderi og noget senere bokhandel i det gamle hus ved Korskirken. Eiendommen tilhører jo det ældste Bergen. Den omtales allerede i 1593 og tilhørte da Eske Bilde, likeledes i et diplom av 25. juli 1604, da den tilhørte Eske Bildes arvinger og endelig i et diplom dat. Bergen 9. mars 1631, som nu findes i Bergens museums diplomsamling, hvorefter eiendommen av Eske Bildes arvinger blev solgt til Henrick Beenn, borger i Bergen. Dette diplom blev foræret museet i sin tid av Fredrik Beyer. Ogsaa et andet diplom sammesteds av 19. oktober 1625, hvori Jørgen Jochumsøn Formand sælger til Henrich Beenn "et stykke kaalgaardsgrund liggendes norden for Korskirken" maa vist antages at angaa samme eiendom.

I Adressekontoret for 4. september 1819 avaterer Beyer sig for første gang paa følgende maate:

"Da jeg Undertegnede har vundet Borgerskab som Mesterbogbinder, og continuerer den af mig i fem Aar bestyrede Borgbinder Envoldsens Enkes Verksted og Boghandel; ønsker jeg mig hermed mit Arbeide hos det høistærede Publicum og de Herrer Embedsmænd i Byen og paa Landet, paa det bedste recommanderet.

Bergen d. 2den Septbr. 1819

Frands Dekke Beyer,

boende ved Korskirken"

Det var ikke i gode tider, at Beyer begyndte sin handel. Helt siden krigsaarene 1807-14 befandt Bergens handel sig under meget trykkede forhold. De daarlige tider bevirkede en almindelig depression i byen, hvis indbyggere for den største del vavar avhængig av handelen. Der var smaat om penge og liten omsætning. De daarlige tider varte i Bergen op til 1840-aarene. Ved en gjennemgaaelse av borgerrepræsentanternes kopibok fra disse tider vil man faa en levende følelse av, hvor disse byens mænd var bekymret over de daarlige tider og byens økonomiske evne. I 1820 erklærer de paa en ansøkning fra bokhandler Thorstein Hallager om at faa oprette et trykkeri, at de 2 trykkerier, som var, er mere end nok for byen. 3 vil ikke kunne brøfø 3 familier. Foruten Dahls trykkeri hadde Geelmuyden faat privilegium paa at opprette saadant, senere fik ogsaa Hallager privilegium derpaa, men ingen av de to sidstnævnte anskaffede sig desuagtet noget trykkeri. Paa en andren ansøkning om borgerskap avgav borgerrepræsentanterne i 1822 følgende pessimistiske erklæring:

"Naar vi ene skulde tage Hensyn til, at her i denne Tid for Handelsstanden er yderst trykkede Tider, at der gives et altfor stort Antal Handlende, som trods alle mulige Anstrængelser have megen Møie for at sutinere, hvilket altformeget daglig erfares, saa erklærer vi os mod nærv. Ansøkning om Borgerskab, for ei at se Antallet at handlende Borgere end mere forøget;men naar vi see hen til, at der fortiden er meget faa Handlende, der foruden deres egne Sønner behøver nogen til deres Handelsforretninger, saa finde vi Aarsag til at beklage de unge Mennesker, som har bestemt sig for Handelen. Vel have nogle saadanne unge Mennesker af Mangel paa Kondition i de sidste Aar og faaet Employ som Cargadeurs med norske Produkter til Udlandet, men da de fleste Afskibninger med Cargadeurer have været forbundne med store Tab for Afskiberne, saa kan denne Vei nu ansees som ganske spærret for de fleste."

Beyer har skikkerlig faat føle, at det ikke var saa let at slaa sig nogenlunde igjennem i disse tider. Men han var en nøisom og strævsom mand, og han arbeidet sig frem. Ved at følge hans avertissementer i Adressekontoret den første tid efter, han begyndte sin forretning, faar man indtryk av, at han lidt efter lidt utvidet sin forretning baade som bokbinder og bokhandler. I 1825 kom han op i en strid med byens øvrighet, som fandt, at saavel hans som flere andres bokhytter var baade skjæmmende og generende for byen. Magistraten tilskrev i den anledning Beyer og bad om hans erklæring. Beyer, som fandt sin økonomiske stilling alvorlig truet, hvis man vilde forby ham at ha sin bokhytte staaende paa Nyalmendingen, sendte derfor magistraten følgende brev:

Beyer, Frands Dekke (I23781)

1558

Dag the Wise or Dagr Spaka was a Swedish king of the House of Ynglings (dated to the 4th century by 16th-century historiographer Johannes Magnus). He was the son of Dyggvi, the former king. According to legend, he could understand the speech of birds and had a sparrow that gathered news for him from many lands. When the bird was killed on one of these trips, Dag invaded Reidgotaland (considering the date and location, apparently Gothiscandza), in order to avenge it. There he was ambushed by a thrall and killed.

The earliest two versions based on Ynglingatal, i.e. Historia Norwegiæ and Íslendingabók (see below) say that Dag was succeeded by his sons Alrekr and Eírikr who in their turn were succeeded by Dag's grandson Agne (in Historia Norwegiæ incorrectly called Hogne):

Historia Norwegiæ:
Cui [Dyggui] successit in regnum filius ejus Dagr, quem Dani in quodam vado, quod Sciotanvath vel Wapnavath dicitur, dum passeris injurias vindicare conaretur, publico bello occiderunt. Qui genuit Alrik; hunc frater suus Erikr freno percussit ad mortem. Alricr autem genuit Hogna

His [Dyggve's] son Dag succeeded to his throne; he was killed by the Danes in a royal battle at a ford named Skjotansvad, while he was trying to avenge the violence done to a sparrow. This man engendered Alrek, who was beaten to death with a bridle by his brother, Eirik. Alrek was father to Agne, [...]

Íslendingabók only lists the line of succession: x Dyggvi. xi Dagr. xii Alrekr. xiii Agni. xiiii Yngvi''.

However, in the Ynglinga saga, Snorri Sturluson gives Agne as Dag's son and successor, and the two brothers Alrekr and Eiríkr as his grandsons.

This is what Snorri tells of Dag:

Dagr hét son Dyggva konungs, er konungdóm tók eptir hann; hann var maðr svá spakr, at hann skildi fugls rödd. Hann átti spörr einn, er honum sagði mörg tíðindi; flaug hann á ymsi lönd. Þat var eitt sinn, at spörrinn flaug á Reiðgotaland, á bœ þann, er á Vörva heitir; hann flaug í akr karls ok fékk þar matar. Karl kom þar ok tók upp stein ok laust spörrinn til bana. Dagr konungr varð illa við, er spörrinn kom eigi heim; gékk hann þá til sónarblóts til fréttar, ok fékk þau svör, at spörr hans var drepinn á Vörva. Síðan bauð hann út her miklum ok fór til Gotlands; en er hann kom á Vörva, gékk hann upp með her sinn ok herjaði: fólkit flýði víðs vegar undan. Dagr konungr sneri herinum til skipa, er kveldaði, ok hafði hann drepit mart fólk ok mart handtekit. En er þeir fóru yfir á nökkura, þar sem heitir Skjótansvað eða Vápnavað, þá rann fram ór skógi einn verkþræll á árbakkann ok skaut heytjúgu í lið þeirra, ok kom í höfuð konungi skotit; féll hann þegar af hestinum ok fékk bana. Í þann tíma var sá höfðingi gramr kallaðr er herjaði, en hermennirnir gramir.

King Dygve's son, called Dag, succeeded to him, and was so wise a man that he understood the language of birds. He had a sparrow which told him much news, and flew to different countries. Once the sparrow flew to Reidgotaland, to a farm called Varva, where he flew into the peasant's corn-field and took his grain. The peasant came up, took a stone, and killed the sparrow. King Dag was ill-pleased that the sparrow did not come home; and as he, in a sacrifice of expiation, inquired after the sparrow, he got the answer that it was killed at Varva. Thereupon he ordered a great army, and went to Gotland; and when he came to Varva he landed with his men and plundered, and the people fled away before him. King Dag returned in the evening to his ships, after having killed many people and taken many prisoners. As they were going across a river at a place called Skjotan's [the Weapon's] Ford, a labouring thrall came running to the river-side, and threw a hay- fork into their troop. It struck the king on the head, so that he fell instantly from his horse and died. In those times the chief who ravaged a country was called Gram, and the men-at-arms under him Gramer.

Then Snorri quoted Ynglingatal (9th century):

Frák at Dagr
dauða orði
frægðar fúss
of fara skyldi,
þá er valteins
til Vörva kom
spakfrömuðr
spörs at hefna.
Ok þat orð
á austrvega
vísa ferð
frá vígi bar,
at þann gram
af geta skyldi
slöngviþref
Sleipnis verðar.
What news is this that the king's men,
Flying eastward through the glen,
Report? That Dag the Brave, whose name
Is sounded far and wide by Fame --
That Dag, who knew so well to wield
The battle-axe in bloody field,
Where brave men meet, no more will head
The brave – that mighty Dag is dead!
Varva was wasted with the sword,
And vengeance taken for the bird --
The little bird that used to bring
News to the ear of the great king.
Varva was ravaged, and the strife
Was ended, when the monarch's life
Was ended too – the great Dag fell
By the hay-fork of a base thrall!
The fact that Skjótansvað/Vápnavað appear both in Ynglinga saga and in Historia Norwegiæ's earlier summary of Ynglingatal but not in Snorri's later quotation from it, suggests that all of Ynglingatal was not presented by him.

Daniel Barth

In his different functions Barth got broad experience and an overview of all aspects of operations at the silver mine. It is preserved in numerous reports from him to the work's owners about the operation and conditions in the town. Barth was active in the introduction of new technology in the full range of mining operations, particularly in the metallurgical and mining machinery. He led the introduction of the water wheel driven pump works in the mines in the 1640s. These water works were the future of the largest computer installations in Norway. Water wheels had a diameter of about 10 feet and could run several hundred yards long mechanisms through the terrain and down the gruvesjaktene.

Silver mines were privately owned in Barth's time, the so-called partisipantskapet, where King Christian 4 was a significant part owner. But Mines was also a royal official. As a mining superintendent Barth took not only the role of technical and administrative head of the mining industry, but was the supreme authority of the mining town of Kongsberg. He also served as a judge. Barth is one of the first representatives of the paternalistic society that existed in many places during the industrial age.

Daniel Barth was a strict Protestant, and tolerated no slendrian, Skopte and løslevnet. His motto was "an ora labora" (Lat., 'pray and work'). In the 1600s raw and violent society, he fought a constant and often futile struggle against defiance, disobedience, drunkenness, and whoredoms in mining towns of men and women, who sometimes were banished.

1650 he published a collection of rock prayers and hymns. He saw a connection between human piety and wealth of ore in the mountains. The Lord wanted to show the rock work its rich blessing, if "das Böse Hurenleben" (evil bitch life) was abolished. Barth complained of mining town "free and reluctant people," the many "troubled minds," the defiant miners "and" evil women ". As a royal official rock embodied for Daniel Barth a fusion of religion and state power in the Protestant power state, a system on the offensive against the coarse street life, extramarital unions and lack of order and discipline in work and in society.

Daniel Barth was born in Weissbach in Germany March 22. 1607 to Georg Barth and unknown mother. Daniel Bart married Mette Baltzersdatter Schneberg Nov. 20. 1633. Daniel Barth died Feb. 1656, most likley on farm Kjennerud east from Kongsberg. Mette Schneberg (Snow mountain) born to Batzer Hansen Schneberg and unknown mother died March 6. 1664.

Daniel came to Kongsberg in 1629 during the 30 Years War in Europe (1618-48). He was employed as "Hytteskriver" and "Skiktmester", Accountant for the Copper mine Smelting Cabin at "Verloner Son" (The Lost Son mine) in Meheia, a small countryside about 2 Miles south of the silver mines. In 1637, after a couple years apprenticeship, he became permanently employed as "Skiktmester" for the Silver Mine, and ended as "Overbergmester", Master of the Silver Mines, August 16 1654, with a yearly salary of 600 Riksdaler. Daniel Barth was also a technical and administrative leader, functioning as judge and the king's local official. He is considered one of the most skilled officials in the history of the Kongsberg Silver Mines. He also wrote diaries that show insight and glimpses of life in the mines.

In 1648 King Frederick III of Norway-Denmark, Queen Sophie Malene and their escort visited Kongsberg and were greeted by Daniel Barth. After visiting "Herzog Ulrich" mine Barth invited the group to "Taffel Mucic" (7 musicians from the mining company) and dinner in his residence. The food delivered by local farmers consisted of 4 young cattle, 47 sheep, 27 lamb, 93 chickens, 2 goose, 1200 eggs, 5 pounds butter, 6 and a half loads of hay, 154 gallons of German wine, and 170 gallons of French wine.

Outside knocking on the door stood representatives from the miners to appeal to the king about the miserable quality of the food, especially moldy grain the mercants sold them. Their representatives had audience with the king and presented their complaints about low salary, shortages of good grain, and high prices.

In 1650 Barth published Hymns and Prayers, which centered on the connection between godliness and richness coming from the rich mountain.

In 1651 he secured "Kinderøe" (Kjennerud) for himself and his wife for as long as they lived. He died there 5 years later of sickness. The speech he wrote to his own funeral is kept in the library in the University of Trondheim.

Johannes Barth, 1633-74, took over as Director for the Silver Mines after his father Daniel.

His grandson Daniel Barth (born to Johannes Barth) took over Kjennerud in 1674, the same year his father died. He then requested permission to marry "i huset" at home to "erlige Matrone" honest Matrone Catarina Gothlenderin.

Daniel FORBUSH was born about 1640 in Cambridge, Middlesex, MA?. (1047) Placekeeper that he was about 20 when married. This is a strong possibility. A bereavement notice (See Elizabeth) that captures her as being Elizabeth Forbush, also mentions brother Samuel. This Daniel had both a son, Samuel, and a daughter Elizabeth, she being born at Cambridge, March 16, 1669.

Other children of this family included Daniel, Thomas, Rebecca . Daniel marries Deborah Rediat at Concord and has children born in Marshfield. Thomas marries Deborah Rice at Cambridge. Rebecca marries a Byles.

He was married to Rebecca PERRIMAN on 26 Mar 1660 in Cambridge, Middlesex, MA. (1048) Children were: Elizabeth FORBUSH .

Elizabeth FORBUSH was born on 16 Mar 1669 in Cambridge, Middlesex, MA. (1049) The diary was edited by Francis G. Walett (Worcester, Mass., 1974): page 15, for 27 April 1746 reads: “On the Occasion of the Death of my Honoured Mother, and Several other Bereavments (Ex. gr. Captain [Samuel] Forbush and Mrs. [Rebecca] Byles mourn for the loss of their sister Bruce and Ensign [Abijah] Bruce and Mrs. [Sarah] Miller the Loss of their Mother; . . .).” Parents: Daniel FORBUSH and Rebecca PERRIMAN.

DANIEL LUCY, the first recorded Lucy in America, emigrated to Jamestown, Virginia on the ship 'Susan' in June 1624. Research has suggested that Daniel Lucy was the son of Timothy Lucy and Susanna Fanshawe, the youngest son of Sir William Lucy (c1510-1551) and Ann Fermer of Charlecote.

Daniel Lucy was given a patent of four acres of land on Jamestown Island and served on two juries. Present day descendents are related to his eldest son Samuel Lucy (1618-1662). Daniel died in Virginia in 1627, owing five hundred pounds of tobacco to his kinsman, RICHARD KINGSMILL. Richard's parents are believed to be Sir William Kingsmill (1555-1618) and Anne Wilkes. Sir William Kingsmill was the cousin of CONSTANCE KINGSMILL, the wife of Sir Thomas Lucy (1551-1605) of Charlecote. The full genealogy is scheduled below.

1786 - 1 thite, 2 horses, 5 cattle [0237]

Starting in 1787, the tax list names the person charged with the tax, names each person over 21, the number of white males 16-21, and then counts the property.
1787 - self, 1 horse, 4 cattle [0321]

Daniel Oakes is absent from the tax list after 1792. The 1793 list shows his wife, Catherine, with 2 horses. Catherine appears in 1794 with 3 horses, in 1795 with 2 horses, and in 1796 with 2 horses. Catherine is absent from the 1797 tax list. This researcher has not yet checked the tax lists after 1797.

Daniel Trabue was an early founder of Columbia and constructed the above house in 1823 (it has since been expanded). He served as a trustee for the town, the county sheriff, and justice of the peace. He operated a grist mill and a retail store. To be sure, the story of Columbia is not complete without reference to Trabue. But greater still, the story of Kentucky is incomplete without Trabue.

He was a fourth-generation North American Huguenot born in 1760 in Virginia's Piedmont region. Trabue was a teenager when he encountered Indians along the Wilderness Road, was present at Daniel Boone's court-martial following a loss to the Indians at Boonesborough. After serving three years in Kentucky, Trabue returned to Virginia to try his lot at business. It was during this time that he experienced, as a non-soldier, the events leading up to the colonist's victory at Yorktown. By 1785, he yearned to return his young family to Kentucky and they settled in Fayette County.

In 1788, Trabue signed a petition to divide Fayette County, arguing that he was too far from the county seat of Lexington to be able to readily conduct business, caused an overburdened judicial docket and did not provide adequate representation in the Virginia legislature. The Virginia General Assembly agreed and Woodford County was born. In 1796, Trabue sold his Woodford County home and took his family from the Kentucky River basin to that of the Green River some 45-miles to the southwest in Green County.

In December 1801, the General Assembly created Adair County. Trabue's home was one-quarter mile within Adair County and thus his "fortunes were to be tied to those of Adair County." [cite] It was from here that he went on as an intregal part of the development and growth of Columbia.
At the age of 67, he wrote a narrative of his life. This narrative later became the origin of "Westward into Kentucky: The Narrative of Daniel Trabue." Although narratives are often fraught with historical inaccuracy, his accounts still make history all the richer. As was said in the introduction of Westward (the source of much of the above history):

Daniel Trabue had indeed been a pioneer in the land beyond the mountains. As a settler there, he had helped to wrest Kentucky from nature and from the Indian's tenuous hold and to plant the white man's culture in Trans-Appalachia. He had done all of this, and of equal importance he had left a rich and meaningful narrative about much of what he observed and did.

Trabue, Daniel (I27460)

Daniel was born 11 Oct 1763 at Stratford, CT and accompanied his father and brothers to Vermont. Like them he served in the Revolution at the early age of sixteen. The records at the Office of the Adjutant General, Montpelier, VT, indicate that he served as a volunteer from Rupert, VT in Aug 1779 in Capt. Thomas Sawyer's Company of Militia raised for the defense of the Northern Frontiers of America. And again in Nathaniel Smith's Company in Col. Ira Allen's Regiment of Militia for service in Oct 1781 according to the Vermont Revolutionary Rolls.

Daniel married 5 Jan 1798 at Pawlet, VT, Susannah Southwell and settled there raising one son, Alvah C. Risdon, and four daughters.

Daniel worked as a blacksmith, filing numerous patents. He eventually ran a truss manufacturing business that sold and fitted the trusses for customers.

This family is thought to have its origin from the area of Osterstade near Bremen Germany. Its name spelled variously as Krogh, Kroge, Kroghe, Krogen, Krough, Krug, Croghe, Croge, etc, is very old among German nobility. It appears as early as 1236. A genealogical Table from the 1700's takes the family back to the year 1400. The family was recognized as nobility by the President of the Duchy of Bremen Knighthood in a document dated June 8 1870, and by the Royal Heraldic District of Berlin in a document dated June 4 1875. Similarly the family has been recognized as noble in Denmark and has occupied high military and civilian positions. They also have intermarried with the most highly esteemed noble families.

The family Coat of Arms has been a white castle with two towers between which are four rising golden morning stars against a blue background, and on the crest a greyhound, half white, with a golden collar in between two blue and white wings.

The family's ancestor in Denmark and Norway wrote his name as BERENT von KROGH, but his contemporaries called him Berent von Kroge or von Krueg. He was the son of GEORG (JURGEN) von Krogh and a Captain of a company located in Gluckstadt in 1645. At King Frederick III's succession to the throne, he appears to have entered Danish-Norwegian service on a permanent basis. It is possible, however, that he is not the first of his family to come to Denmark. In 1653 Gehard(Gert) von Krogh, an older brother of Bernhardus, died in Trondheim. He and his wife, Alked, had three sons and three daughters, but his descendants can only be traced to the third generation. At the same time Heinrich von Krogh, died Oct 8 1655, a younger brother of Bernhardus was living in Lybaek. He was married to Anna Hasse. One of his sons , named Heinrich, born in 1655 in Lybaek, was a medical graduate. He died Dec. 6, 1679 in Leipzig, and was buried at St. Paul's church on Dec. 10th.

Bernhardus came to Denmark in 1644 with troops from Bremen to assist King Christina IV of Denmark at the end of the "Thirty Years War" (1618-1648). Though the Danes were subdued he remained in the service of the Danish King and was sent to Trondheim Norway in command of the troops there, since Norway was still under the rule of Denmark. Bernhardus married Alide von Bolton, daughter of the Mayor of Bremen, and their descendants inter-married with prominent families in Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

Bremen is a port city in northwest Germany, on the banks of the Weser River about 70 km (43 mi) from the North Sea.

The Weser River is navigable by seagoing craft up to the city's docks. Bremen was founded about AD 787. By the 13th century it was a prosperous trading town, and in 1358 it became a member of the HANSEATIC LEAGUE. It was declared a free city in 1646 and maintained its independence until 1815, when it merged with the German Confederation. The city was heavily damaged during World War II but has since been completely rebuilt. The Altstadt, or Old Town, retains its Cathedral of Saint Peter, dating in part from the 11th century, and its Gothic town hall; both were rebuilt after the war. Also still in existence are several other medieval churches and the Guild Hall of the cloth merchants.

Darius Echols (1779-1866) paternity established with DNA.

Darius Echols, b. 1779 in Halifax Co., VA, d. 1 May, 1866 in Habersham Co., GA had 14 children with his wife Tabitha Whitworth. There has been strong circumstantial evidence that he fathered nine children with Hannah Thomas and several children with Obedience Gazaway. We now have the DNA proof to establish that Darius was in fact the father of the children of Hannah Thomas and Obedience Gazaway.

In 1817, James Perry Gazaway was born as a result of a liaison between Echols and Obedience. This child later changed his legal name to Echols in 1854 and all of his male descendants bear the name of Echols.

In 1821-1822, Darius Echols began a relationship with Hannah Thomas that was to continue for over 40 years and produce 9 children, beginning with James Wyly Thomas in 1822. The circumstantial evidence pointing to his paternity includes the following:

1) Echols was appointed guardian of Hannah's first three children who were listed as "illegitimates;"
2) Two of the children, Elizabeth and Thomas, changed their last names to Echols, and a third, Newton, used it on occasion, and gave the Echols name to his own second (illegitimate) family;
3) Both Darius and Hannah were indicted and convicted of fornication and adultery with each other in 1852;
4) They lived next door to each other, and were living together in 1860 after Darius' wife, Tabitha, had moved out to live with her son in another county;
5) In 1863, after Tabitha's death, they married;
6) One of Hannah's son's descendants has passed the story down through the family that they are not "Thomases", but rather, they are "Echolses" and are descended from Darius Echols.

In 2014, a descendant in the male line from one of Hannah Thomas' sons, Darius Jasper Thomas, took the Family Tree Maker DNA test and matched on 66 out of 67 markers with a descendant of James Perry Gazaway Echols, son of Obedience Gazaway. They also match with a descendant of Joshua Echols, who was in Darius Echols' line, and they match with eight other Echols men who are in this Echols line which appear to descend from the immigrant John Echols and Mary Cave.

In 2015, two descendants of Newton Cleveland Thomas took the Ancestry.com DNA test and match with several descendants of Joshua Echols, father of Darious Echols, and with his children from his first wife Tabitha Whitworth.

In addition, Darius Echols and all his male line are in the Haplogroup I1, which is a rare group which originated from one ancestor over 5000 years ago from Denmark. Many British men belong to this group because of the Viking invasions and settlements on the coast.

Echols, Darius Jasper (I51328)

1577

Darius Echols was sheriff and also Justice of the Peace at different times in Habersham County, Georgia.

In the early 1800's Darius paid the taxes in Franklin County, Georgia for a woman named Elizabeth Wisdom. One son of this Elizabeth Wisdom had his name legally changed to Echols in Forsyth County, Georgia.

Hannah Thomas is said to have been the widow of a Revolutionary Soldier on one land lottery. If so she must have married a much older man. She was born about 1804 and if she married in 1820 she would have been 16 and the revolutionary soldier would have to be about 60. If this marriage did occur the man must have died shortly afterward because she is listed alone on all census and other records.

Hannah was quite a woman. With her headright land and land lottery lands she had quite a lot of acreage. She conducted all her own business and seemed to be a very independent woman. Darius was always close by and they had a long-standing relationship.

Hannah's first three children were James Wyly Thomas born in 1822, Martin Riley Thomas born in 1823 and Clary born in about 1825. In an 1834 court record these children were referred to as illegitimate. In 1834, Darius Echols was named as Guardian of the illegitimates of Hannah Thomas.

Browning Thomas, a great grandson of Hannah Thomas through her son Darius Jasper Thomas, had a much older half brother who was born in 1896. During a visit in 1987, this older half brother told Browning that they were "really Echols, not Thomases" and that his search for Thomases would prove fruitless. At the time Browning became so angry that he quit researching for several years.

Hannah had drawn land "for minors" in 1827. She also drew land in 1832 as a widow of a revolutionary war soldier. As stated earlier Hannah was quite independent and managed her property and business affairs personally.

No marriage record prior to 1863 has ever been found for Hannah Thomas. Hannah gave birth to Sarah in 1828 followed by Elizabeth in 1830. Elizabeth married E. B. Beard September 13, 1849 in Habersham County, Georgia. They later moved to Jefferson County, Alabama. No death record has been found for Elizabeth but on the death certificate of her son it gives her maiden name as Elizabeth Echols.

These first five children, James Wyly, Martin, Clary, Sarah, and Elizabeth all bought lot number 43 in the 12th district of Habersham County, Georgia from a Fleming Bates for $300. Their guardian was Darius Echols, who signed the deed as Justice of the peace.

Hannah has not been found on the 1830 census. Either she was not interviewed or she was living in another household.

Hannah continued to have children. She had Melissa "Lissy" in 1834, then Darius Jasper in 1835, Newton Cleveland in 1837 and Thomas Benton in 1841.

The 1840 census shows Hannah Thomas as head of household, living next door to Darius Echols. She has two males under 5 years of age (Darius Jasper and Newton Cleveland), two males 15 to 20 (James Wyly and Martin Riley), two females 5 to 10 (Elizabeth and Melissa) and two females 10 to 15 (Clary and Sarah).

Darius Echols and Hannah Thomas were charged with Fornication and Adultery (a married man living with a single woman) on 1 October 1855 and on Diverse other occasions before and after that date. Hannah pleaded guilty and was fined $10 and ordered to remain in jail until the fine was paid. Darius pleaded not guilty and was found guilty in court.

By 1860 Darius and Hannah were still living together and Darius' wife was living with her son in Alabama. By 1863 Darius' wife must have died because Darius and Hannah were finally married.

The last son of Hannah Thomas changed his name from Thomas Benton Thomas to Thomas Benton Echols in later life. It is not known how many of Hannah's children went by Echols. It is known that Elizabeth, born in 1830 and Thomas born about 1845 both went by Echols in later life.

The evidence is overwhelming that Darius was the father of most, if not all of Hannah's children.

MOTLEY, James P., age 21, single, occupation Farmer, son of Daniel and Polly Motley to Mary B. Scates, age 16, single, daughter of Grief D. and Susan S. Scates. 2 October 1866. Married by Robert S. Hurt.

Scates, Mary Elizabeth (I1584)

1594

Date: 1721
Location: St. Mark's Parish
Comments: The first of the name of Pendleton who came to the Colony of Virginia to make their home (in 1674 ) were two young men, Philip Pendleton , a teacher, and Nathaniel , his brother, a clergyman. The latter died very soon, unmarried; he evidently held no clerical charge in the Colony, as his name has never been given among the lists of the clergy of that time. Philip returned to England about 1680 ; tradition says he married a lady of high social position, but she died, and he returned to the Colony, and in 1682 married Isabella Hurt (or Hert or Hart,) and from this marriage are descended all the Pendletons of Virginia . Philip was born in Norwich, England , in 1650 , son of Henry Pendleton , 3rd son of Henry Pendleton , son and heir of George Pendleton , Gentleman, who married Elizabeth Pettingall dau. of John Pettingall , Gentleman of Norwich, Eng. George Pendleton moved from Manchester to Norwich in 1613 . His son and heir, Henry , probably married Susan- because in Vol. 48 of the New England Hist. and Gen. Register, is found a copy of the will of Sir John Pettus , Knight, of Norwich , Jan. 1613 , which says: "Appoint my cousin, Henry Pendleton , Supravisor of my estate." Also Thomas Pettus , of Caistree, St. Edmond's Norfolk , Oct. 1618 . "To my Cousins, Henry Pendleton and Susan , his wife, annuity out of my houses &c. in Norwich ." This family of Pettus is the same as the one in Va. The Pendletons were originally from Manchester , where the name was well known, some of them being in public life as early as the reign of Henry VIII. The Coat of Arms used by the Pendletons of Norwich and by the emigrant, Philip , indicate by the presence of Escallop shells and by the Cardinal's chapeau, in the Crest, a connection with Crusader traditions. The New England Pendletons , descendants of Brian Pendleton , came from Lancaster , and show a different Coat of Arms. Philip Pendleton is said to have settled in New Kent Co. , but there is no record of the family on the Register of St. Peter's Parish ; he probably lived always in the portion called afterwards Caroline county , the records of which were burnt during the war of '61-65 . Most of his descendants settled in counties New Kent . He died in 1721 , the same year his oldest son Henry died, and the same year his grandson, the eminent Judge Edmund Pendleton , was born. He had three sons and four daughters, two of his family married into the family of James Taylor , of Carlisle, Eng. , and by other intermarriages, a close connection with the Taylor family has been preserved. Some of his descendants were among the founders of St. Mark's Parish .

Daughter of

Morten Henrich Petersen von Fyren, on February 5, 1711, owner of Hvidingsø and Høievarde lighthouse, merchant and stamped paper dealer in Stavanger, June 9, 1765, May 19, 1733 Christina Sophia Lauritzdtr. Smith, February 1, 1712, February 12, 1788.

From a document created on May 26, 1764, she is seen to have led to the joint estate "work" gold worth 40 Rd, "worked" silver 60 Rd., Curious coin 120 Rd., leather of silk, wool and linen 240 rd. and porcelain for 30 Rd.

After the death of Gabriel Kielland, the widow, who according to Royal Decree of October 13, 1780, remained in the unchanged residence, continued his business under the firm Birgitte Nyrop Slekt Kiellands. She also retained the negotiation of stamped paper after the 7th of the same month. Birgitte The genus Kiellands is seen to have had fairly extensive connections abroad. Her dispositions seem to have been less fortunate, and, in a document, "her ships were taken by French and English capers". At her death, therefore, the wealth left behind by man was lost.
