This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin",
by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.509-510.

G. N. Scove, who is an engineer of the hull department of the Manitowoc Dry Dock Company, was born in Manitowoc, May 5, 1879, and is a son of Hans and Lena (Burger) Scove. The father came to Manitowoc about 1860 and engaged in the shipbuilding business, he being one of the pioneer
shipbuilders of Manitowoc. He was a member of the firm of Hansen & Scove, who built many of the early schooners and steamers and were instrumental in developing the shipbuilding industry of Manitowoc and Two Rivers. During
the Civil war Mr. Scove assisted in building the fleet which was sent down the Mississippi river and took part in the capture of Vicksburg. Mr. Scove’s death occurred in 1888 when he was fifty-two years of age. His wife passed away in 1881 when she was thirty-five years of age. She is buried at Two Rivers cemetery. The father is interred at Evergreen cemetery.

G. N. Scove acquired his early education in the public schools and high schools of Manitowoc, and at the age of seventeen left the high school. He immediately accepted employment with the Northern Grain Company as assistant superintendent and remained with them for seven years. He was afterward traveling salesman for the Northern Grain Company and also for the Manufacturers Appraisal Company of New York. After he had been thus employed for two years he accepted a position with the Manitowoc Dry Dock Company and is now chief draftsman of the concern. He acquired his
knowledge of drafting during the time he was traveling for the two concerns. He early learned the fact that in self-development lies strength, and he tested his own powers by actual work, doing faithfully and efficiently every task which was assigned to him or which seemed to him a stepping stone in the path of progression, thus working his way upward to larger responsibilities and more important duties. His advancement has resulted through the development of his talents and powers, and the position of distinction and trust which he holds today is the logical outcome of his own efforts. In Manitowoc, on the 5th of July, 1906, Mr. Scove was married to Miss Irma Schuette, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August Schuette, the former of the firm of Schuette Brothers. Mr. Scove is a progressive republican and holds membership in the blue lodge of the Masons. He is also a member of the Country Club. Those who meet him in social relations respond readily to his genial and cordial manner, and thus his circle of friends is constantly enlarging.

This is a bio. sketch from "History of Manitowoc County Wisconsin", by Dr. L. Falge, 1911-1912, v.2, p.492-493.

Louis Schuette, vice president of the Manitowoc Savings Bank and well known in financial circles of Manitowoc county, is a member of one of the old and honored families of this section. His grandparents, John and Katherine
(Schade) Schuette, natives of Oldenburg, Germany, came to the United States in 1848 and settled in Manitowoc, where John Schuette carried on a grocery business until his death. He and his wife had seven children: Gesine, the
widow of Gus Bloquelle, a resident of Manitowoc; Henry, deceased, who was engaged in the grocery business; John, the father of Louis; Martha, the widow of Eugene Alter; and Fred, August and George, merchants of Manitowoc.
John Schuette, father of Louis, was born September 25, 1837, in Oldenburg, Germany, and after the death of his father formed a partnership with his brother, Henry, and engaged in the grocery business. He sold his interests,
however, in 1884, and organized the Manitowoc Savings Bank. The building at the corner of Eighth and Jay streets, which had formerly been used for the
same purpose, was purchased and the bank established under the state laws, the capital being fifty thousand dollars, and the first officers being as follows: John Schuette, president; C. E. Esterbrook, vice president; Joseph
Staehle, cashier. At the present time the officials are: John Schuette, president; Louis Schuette, vice president; Ed Schuette, cashier; Henry Detzen, assistant cashier. John Schuette was also the owner of the second flour mill in Manitowoc, which he still operates; had the government
contract in 1867 and 1868 for the building of the harbor at this point; is a stockholder in the Eastern Wisconsin Trustee Company; and president of the Manitowoc Electric Light Company. He has served as alderman and mayor of Manitowoc, and in 1875 and 1876 was sent by his fellow townsmen to the state senate. He married Rosa Stauss, and they had five children: Louis and Edwin, associated with their father in business; Gesine, residing at home with her parents; Lillie, who married Dr. Walker, of Menominee, Michigan; and Rosa, who married Dr. Babcock, of Milwaukee. The reputation of the Manitowoc Savings Bank is of the best, and all of its officials are men of known integrity.

This is taken from the writing of George M. Parker and his wife, Jewel "400 Years of The Parkers from England to Texas".

"David Parker was born in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, in 1780. It is believed that his family attended the Summerset church. Records in the marriage bond book, page 39, show that "David Parker married Frankie Arthur Parker, April 15, 1805, in Pittsylvania County, Virginia". History records President Arthur and one of the Parkers being partners in a law firm in New York. My father, Isaac, said that his father, George, had told him that his mother, Isaac's grandmother, was related to President Arthur."

"In 1813 David and Frankie were living in Culpepper County, Virginia, where my grandfather, George, was born. David and his family moved from Culpepper County, Virginia, to Hardin County, Kentucky, near Elizabethtown, in 1820, when George was seven years old......Four years later in June, 1824, Frankie was baking bread and mistakenly put arsenic in it instead of soda. Both David and his wife died from this poisoning; we do not know if any children died but we do know that five did not die. Because of the stories handed down the Virginia Parkers believe some children did die in this accident"

"At this time, Benjamin was sixty-five years old and had a grown family. In spite of his age, the court appointed him guardian of David's children and administrator of his estate......"

"The following are quotations from the Hardin County, Ky. court records: Court record #1, page 360: "Monday, July 5, 1824, Benjamin Parker was appointed administrator of David Parker's estate. On motion of Benjamin Parker and Isham Jeffries who took the oath required by law and together with Isham Ready, John Parker and John A. Stephenson, their securities entered into bond in the penalty of $2000 conditioned as the law directs the administration of the estate of David Parker, deceased. It is granted them."

"Court Record#2: Appraisal of David Parker estate July 5, 1824, ordered that Joel A. Morrison, Noah English, John Johnson and Josiah H Yager any three of them do after being sworn before some magistrate of this county appraise the personal estate of David Parker, deceased, and make report there of to the court".

"Court Record #3, page 3: "January 3, 1825. Inventories of the appraisement and sale of the estate of David Parker, deceased, were produced in court and ordered to be recorded."

These records do not give the cause of death of David and his wife but letters written back to the Virginia Parkers indicate that they and some of the children died from arsenic poisoning. The five surviving children were: George, Sally, Joel, James and a son whose name we do not know that moved to Bushnell, Illinois, although it is known that he married a girl named Bird."

This is the story of how John Beville (b. 1611, Chesterton, UK) son of Robert Beville (b. 1570) made the journey from the family estate in Chesterton, England to Virginia, with his wife (Mary Clement b. 1618) and son Essex. Most of the people carrying the name Beville or any of its derivatives who are living in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States today are the descendants of Essex and his children. This story was relayed to me by the warden and church historian of St. Michael's church in Chesterton, Peterborough, UK, which is also known as the Beville Church.

Since the 1370s the Beville family had held the position of Lord of the Manor at Chesterton, in addition to several other land holdings in Woodwalton and Sawtry. The parents of John Beville (b. 1611) were Robert Beville (b. 1570) and his wife Mary Saunders (b. 1570). Robert Beville served as Lord of the Manor in Chesterton until his death in 1612. As his son John was not yet of age the stewardship of Beville manor fell to another Robert Beville (b. 1572), a cousin descended of the same Grandfather, one William Beville (b. 1511) who was Lord of the Manor at Chesterton until his death in 1553.

For the purposes of clarity I will refer to the family members in this story as:

Robert Beville (b. 1572) (who held the manor after the death of Robert b.1570) as "Cousin Robert". Cousin Robert is called "Robert the Younger" in some of the records, as he is the younger of 2 Robert Beville's entombed in the monument erected in 1611 upon the death of his wife. The tomb is located at the family parish in Chesterton.

Robert (b. 1570 ,father of John the Younger) will be called Robert John Beville (b. 1611) who centeres in the story will be called John the YoungerJohn BeVille (b. 1536) who is the grandfather of John the Younger and the Uncle of Cousin Robert will be called John the Elder

After the death of Robert Beville (b.1570), his son John the Younger was not of age to rightfully assume control of the manor in Chesterton. As such, temporary stewardship of the manor was passed to Cousin Robert, and John the Younger was sent to live with his Grandfather John the Elder, who has retired to lands held by the family in Sawtry near Woodwalton. John the Elder is also found in some of the records as John of Sawtry.

John the elder however died in 1618, when John the Younger was only 7 years old. His mother Mary Saunders also passed away the same year leaving John orphaned. At that time John the Younger returned to Beville Manor in Chesterton and was raised by the family of Robert the Cousin, who was still serving as Lord of the Manor in Chesterton.

Robert the Cousin Fathered 3 daughters of his own, including Honor, who was born in 1609 and baptised in the family parish at Chesterton. In 1632 she was married to Sir John Driden in London. The Dridens possessed large estates Canons Ashby. When John the Younger came age in 1630-32 he pushed to asert his claim on Beville Manor in Chesterton. In his will Robert the Cousin, who died in 1634, left the estate to "Whoever shall hold the estate" indicating that he himself was unsure as to whom his heir should be. Upon his death, John Driden and his wife Honora (daughter of Robert the Cousin) and John the Younger both filed suit in the Court of Chancery aserting their individual claims to the estate at Chesterton.

This period of English history, during the reign of Charles II, was also marked with religious disputes between the Church of England, Catholics, and Puritans. According to the local historian and church wardon at the Beville Church in Chesterton, a combination of the Driden's powerful patrons and alies, as well as religious differences between the family may have contributed to the Court's ruling in favor of John Driden and Honor Beville in their claim for Beville manor.

I am still researching the Court of Chancery Records for this period w/ postitve results so far. However in 1638 John the Younger married Mary Clement, most likely during the ongoing dispute over the right to Beville Manor. in 1639 Essex BeVille was born. It appears that the ruling of the Court came down around the same time as the family left Chesterton for the Colony of Virginia. Mary Clement died just after the arrival of the family in 1640, while John the Younger lived another 25 years. In 1669 Essex Beville married Amy Butler, who had been born in the colony in 1641. Essex and Amy produced at least 3 children: Mary (b.1669), (John (b. 1670 - d.1735 ), and Essex (b. 1672)

This record would not be possible without the report by Katherine Cox Gottschalk, Genealogist, Washington, D.C. found in Huguenot #8 p. 178. The compiler is indebted to the many records in the Los Angeles City Library, Los Angeles, California; the Genealogical Library, West Los Angeles, California; the Lawson-McGee Library, Knoxville, Tennessee; Virginia State Library, Richmond, Virginia; National Archives, Washington, D.C.; The County Court records of: Goochland, Cumberland, Powhattan, and Chesterfield Counties, Virginia; Roy Gentry, Recorder of Deeds, Houston, Missouri; Grand Lodge of Missouri, Ancient Free and Acceptable Masons, Grand Secretary, Elmer W. Wagner, St. Louis, Missouri; The Huguenot Society Founders of Manakin Town publications; Adjutant General’s Office, Jefferson City, Missouri; Family records of the descendents of Charles Ford.

THE HUGUENOT FAMILY OF FAURE, FORE, FOARD, FORD Of the army of William of Orange, numbering eleven thousand, which sailed from Holland, and by whose aid he obtained the Crown of England, three regiments, each containing seven hundred and fifty effective men, were Huguenots. To these were added a squadron of horse. In gratitude to these zealous and effective supporters, and in sympathy with the great multitude of their suffering brethren driven violently from their homes and native country simply for their religion the King invited them to make their home in his new dominions in America. A large number sought a home in Virginia and settled along the Potomac, Rappahannock and James Rivers. In the year 1700, more than five hundred emigrants, at the head of whom was the Marquis de la Muce, were landed in Virginia by four successive debarkations. (Beverly’s History of Virginia p. 244.) They appear to have settled at different points; a portion about James Town, some in Northfolk County, others in Surry, and two hundred or more at a spot some twenty miles above Richmond, on the south side of James River (now in Powhatan County), where then thousand acres of land, which had been occupied by the extinct Manakin tribe of Indians were given to them. They were also exempt from the payment of taxes for seven years, and were allowed to support their minister in their own way. The records relating to the emigration to Virginia in 1700 of the Huguenot refugees, are taken from the originals now deposited at the Bodleian Library, Oxford University, England. These originals consist of a vellum bound volume of MSS. endorsed: “ORIGINAL PAPERS RELATING TO THE FRENCH PLANTATION IN THE WEST INDIES.”

AGEE (Des Ages) MATHEW AGEE (Original French Coat of Arms) Mathieu Agee, or Age, is the progenitor of all the Agee family in America. He was born in France in 1660, and died in Virginia 1741. He was of the Des Ages of the old Bishopric of Saint Malo, in or near Nantes, France, who were of noble birth. On account of their espousal of the cause of the Huguenots, their claim to nobility was abrogated and their lands confiscated in 1688, as were the titles and lands of many Huguenots and other non-conformists. Mathieu Agee’s fathers name was Anthony Des Ages, born 1639. There is a well founded, and we believe true, tradition, which has been handed down from generation to generation, which states that Mathieu Agee left France in 1688, going to Holland where he, with some two thousand Huguenots, attached himself to William of Orange and was a part of the expedition to England, where William dethroned the then Catholic King James, and himself assumed the duties of the Crown. Mathieu Ages came to Virginia from England in 1690, and in recognition of his service, was granted extensive tracts of land by King William. Later he became one of the founders of Manakin, in the Colony of Virginia, and was long time Vestryman in King William Parish. He was a man of sterling character and winsome personality, possessing a strong business ability. His wife was Cecelia Ann Gandoven, and they had four children, two of whom, James and Anthony, had issue and thus became the ancestors of all the family. Their children were: 1. Isaac Agee, of whom there is no record of marriage. 2. James Agee, married Mary Elizabeth Ford 3. Anthony Agee, married and had twelve children. 4. A daughter who married ________ Austin. James Agee, son of Mathieu, was born 1725, near Manakin Town, Virginia; died 1821, near Maysville, Buckingham County, Virginia; married 1747, Mary Elizabeth Ford (1729/30-1821). He and his wife were married 76 years, and most of their married life was spent in their home in Buckingham County, in which preaching services were held for seventy years. James Agee was a Revolutionary soldier in the Seventh Virginia Regiment. They had 12 children. (Va. Magazine volume 3; Huguenot #5). Certification that Sally, wife of James Ford, Jr., was Sally Agee was not found, but tradition tells us she was the daugher of Isaac Agee, son of Anthony Agee, and grandson of the emigrant Mathew Agee. This tradition has been handed down in this Ford and Agee family. At a Ford reunion held in Knoxville, Tennessee, July 4, 1904 a number of Agee relatives attended at the invitation of Isiah Ford, on whose lawn the reunion was held. (Johnson & Simpson Familes by J.G. Johnson & K.B. Johnson, the descendents of Joseph Ford older brother of Elisha Ford, this manuscript is in the records room of the Lawson-McGee Library, Knoxville, Tennessee.)

This was found online. I am adding it in attempt to clarify the Joshua's in our Agee line.

The Agee Register is completely wrong about this line of Agees. I'm a direct dicendant of Joshua Hawks Agee and have spent several years trying to clear this up. Joshua Hawks Agee first moved to Wilkes Co. Ga in 1795 and was give two draws for land by the state. His son, Humphrey E. Agee. Sr was over 21 and single and received one draw of land. Agter a while Joshua moved to lincoln Co. Ga. His wife died there and I supposed is buried there. Then Joshua moved back to wilkes Co. and died. He is buried in the Washington,Wiles Co. Cemetary in apauper's grave with no marker. I spent monthes trring to locate the grave but to no avail. The other joshua Agee that people get confused with the first Joshua Hawks Agee is his greatgrandson. In 1861 he left Wilkes Co. and followed the Wiregrass Trail down to what is now Lowndes and Clinch Co. right on the Ga/Fl. line. The William Washington that was mentioned is the son of the second joshua agee.

Agee, Joshua Hawks (I42016)

This will was proved on 18 July 1791. The record indicates it was further proved on 20 Feb 1797 and ordered to be recorded. This last date may not be accurate. The will was recorded in Deeds & Wills Book 9 covering the years 1791-1794. If it was recorded in 1797, as the document says, it would have been in Book 10 which covers the years 1794-1797. I believe it likely that the date the will was recorded was 1792. An examination of the wills recorded immediately before and after this one would reveal whether or not this suspicion is true. Furthermore, an inventory of the estate was submitted to the courts on 5 Mar 1792 further reinforcing the idea that the proving of the will was in February 1792.

Thomas (Orphan) was under legal age at the time of his father's death. Court papers dated 1655, the year of his father's death, show that he was placed
under the guardianship of William Underwood. By 1658, he must have attained the age of majority as he enters into a land deal. Three hundred and twenty acres of land were granted to Thomas (Orphan) by William Berkeley, Knight, Gov of Virginia, situated on the south side of Hoskins Creek toward the head thereof in the county of Rappahannock. The land grant was for transportation of seven persons. This likely means that he paid passage for seven people to come to America to help settle the colony, and this grant was in the nature of a headright.
