Notes:

Her bible, used in St. Louis Missouri in school in 1879 when she was 10 years old, is in poss ession of Lonnie Dale Chrisman. The bible is written in German, but some genealogical notes are written within in English.

!Death: Oregon Death Index: "Elizabeth A. Haines" Spouse=John, Place=Marion Co. The birthdate in the index appears to be a typo, says 1892. Viola confirmed that she died in 1961 or 1962 (confirmed in Nov 1994 over phone. Said she was 92 when she died, and 35 when Viola was born -- consistent with all known facts).

!Birth: Bible of Charles Henry William Pape, loaned to me on Jan 20, 1995 by Margorie Cook. Shows: "Elisabeth Atline Pape born 19 of October 1869"

Notes:

!SOURCE: Baptism record for Jaroslav Voltra (Jerry Walter, son of Anton). On that record, he r name appears as Anny Vobornikove (accent on the final e).

!Note: Sometimes her name is seen as Anna Putova. The different last name appears because sometimes an ancestrial name is also used.

The city of Usti nad Labem is the capital of the Czech state of Severocesky on the northern border of the Czech republic, between Prague and Dresden, on the Elbe/Labem river.

The town of Lise, or Lysa, is on the Labem river, about 12 miles east north east of Prague. The "nad Labem" seen on some towns in the area means something like "on the Labem river".

He weighed about 140 lbs at death and had brown hazel eyes.

STORIES TOLD TO STANLY WALTER BY GRANDPA CUTYCH:
He worked on a large estate, cared for deer, grouse and wild pigs. Gypsys asked to clean out his long stemmed pipe and chewed the settlement from the bottom. The Gypsies asked if 'BUH'-GOD disposed of any animals. If they knew where the animals were buried, they would dig them up and eat them. Poachers were fed to wild pigs. (Interview recorded by Vera Walter Thomas).

"Grandpa Sikner" in CSSR told me that Grandpa Cutych was a Field Watchman. (Shikner was married to Grandma Cutych's niece, Anna Kroman Shikner).

Stanley's stories: Grandpa would show shelter to gypsies, but they did not trust anyone. They would not remain overnite; and were gone in the morning when grandad went to check on them.

----
Vera inquired of the Caretaker in Kostomlaty about graves of the 2 infants at the Cemetery by Church of Pater & Paul. He said babies were buried by the fence and let grow up to grass.

----
His death certificate states that his mother's maiden name was RAICHL.

----
His birthplace is about 12 miles east of Prague, on the Labem river, a few miles east of Lysa or Lise.

Of Stafford County.

He came to Virginia in 1690.

!Bible: The family bible of James and Elizabeth is reproduced in the Virginia Historical magazine (c.1899). In 1949 it was in the hands Mr. Monroe Withers VI who lived near Cynthiana, Kentucky.

Elizabeth Keene

Children:

Notes:

!Death: Bible of James and Elizabeth Withers, printed in the Virginia Historical Magazine, c . 1899. Says: "Elisa Withers, departed this life, 26 July, 1749 [date dim]".

The "They Came West" newsletter, Vol. 2, p. 2, prints her death date as "26 July 1769".

William Withers

m: Elizabeth Hord (22 FEB 1732-17 OCT 1781)

Children:

Notes:

The Withers family geneology from the Virginia Historical Magazine gave his death date as: Wi ll dated Nov 21 1803, proved jan 23 1804

The Hord geneology from Colonial families in the US, Vol. 1, gave his death date as 1805, and call him "William Withers of Stafford County".

From the Prince William Co., Virginia, Order Book 1759-61, on 25 June 1760: "William Withers having attended four days as a witness for George Weatly against Honor Willimas, ordered George pay him for the same and for twice travelling from Fauquier County to this Court forty miles." [The Virginia Genealogist, Vol. 20, p. 280]

Fauquier Co., Land records below are from [Grantee Index to Deeds, Fauquier Co., Va., 1759-1914, LDS Film# 31582].

14 Apr 1786: Fauquier Co., Va. William Withers leases land from Denny Fairfax. Filed in [9-240] on 25 Dec 1786.

27 Apr 1787: Fauquier Co. William Withers purchases land from Thomas Sr. and Milley Ares. Recorded 24 Apr 1787. [9-365]

27 Dec 1790: Fauquier Co. William Withers purchases land from Peter & Susanna Kamper, and also from Samuel & Mary Fisher. Both recorded on 24 Jan 1791. [10-320].

1 Feb 1794: Fauquier Co. William Withers purchases land from Thomas Withers Sr. Recorded on 28 Apr 1794 [11-506].

18 Apr 1794: Fauquier Co. William Withers purchases land from Thomas Lee Sr. and wife. Recorded 24 Apr 1794. [11-536].

25 Sep 1796: Fauquier Co., Va. Jessee Withers purchases land from William Withers Sr. and William Withers Jr. and others, recorded 26 Sep 1796 [13-233].

Another William Withers [RIN=868] appears in land sales on 24 Apr 1809 [17-343], 26 Feb 1810 [17-537], and 31 May 1814 [26-222], involving John Ashby and wife in all cases. Since these are clearly after this William's death, we know there is another person by the same name, and there is a chance any of the above may be the other William.

I don't know if this is him, but in "A list of Quit Rents for County Berkeley, Virginia. 1780" in National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Vol. XX, No. 2, June 1932, pg. 50, appears "Withers, Wm, 907 acres, 3 Arrears, and (ditto) 108 acres, 1 Arrears." (probably not)

Withers VI:648 says he is the common ancestor of all Mason County, W.V. and Mead County, KY branches of the Withers Family.

!Will: Dated 1 Nov 1803, proved 23 Jan 1804, Fauquier Co., Va, will book 3, p. 492, transcribed in full at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~lksstarr/knreports/wmwthers.txt. William Withers of Fauquier Co., Va. Names sons James, Spencer and his wife, Jessie, Elijah, Lewis, and daughters Susanna (share remains with Vincent Garner for her benefit), Molley wife of William Withers, Alice wife of John Ball Junr, Agatha wife of Martin Porter, and Betty "the daughter of William Withers" [sic, s.b. "wife of John Withers"]. The will also names many slaves, several dozen not named but identified by plot of land where they reside, and the others included Amy, Dick, Dinah, Ceasor, Ned, Tamson, Willis, Elias, Jack, Agg, Adam (with a family), Floso, Bet, John, Brittain (with a family), Priss, Jam, Will, Fan, Harry. Many plots of land doled out among children. Several mentions of the land he inherited from his father. Executors: Sons James, Jessie and Lewis. Witnesses Enock K. Withers, Matthew Withers, Jennet Withers, Jas. Withers.

!Appraisal: Signed 14 Aug 1805, recorded 23 Sep 1805. The appraisal of the estate is also quite lengthy, conducted by Robert Rose, John Bronaugh, and John Blackwell. Includes a long accounting ledger which I think is an accounting of the value received by each person.

Spencer Withers

m: Esther Potts (24 SEP 1759-18 JUL 1818)

Children:

Notes:

A Revolutionary War veteran. He enlisted in Warrenton, Va., in the summer of 1780 as a subst itute
for Peter Crim in the Company of Captain Francis Triplett. He marched to Hillsborough, N.C., where he entered the Brigade of Colonel Margan. After the Battle of the Cowpens he was detached to Fauquier under Lieutenant Dearin, where he arrived in March 1781 and was discharged. Pension granted 1831. REF: Withers-America by Franz V. Recum, p. 56-57.

He enlisted in Jun 1781 and served as an orderly Sergeant seven months in Col. Edmond's Virginia Regiment.

Census records:

In 1804, his father willed him a portion of a tract of land in Culpepper where Spencer's brother James was residing, and a portion (presumably half) of an adjacent tract of 109 acres. He also received "several negroes, horses, cattle, hoggs [sic] etc." that were on that land. In addition, his father instructed that 20 or so of his slaves be sold, as well as stocks of horses, cattle, hoggs, & sheep, and household and kitchen furniture and other property at a public auction, and that the proceeds to be divided equally among his children; however, the shares of Spencer and Susanna were to be detailed by the executors until a later date "so as not to be squandered".

From Rev. Pension Records: Spencer Withers, VA Line, S6400, sol was b in 1765 in Fauquier Co., VA & he lived there when he enl. at Warrenton VA and was living there when he appl. 30 Aug 1832. In 1833 he stated he had also lived in Mason Co., KY and in the state of TN but had returned to Fauquier Co., VA in 1813. Died 24 Apr 1834.

There is also a land grant record from John Chrisman to his father-in-law Spencer Withers of land in Mason Co., [West] Virginia.

Note: George Erwin Howell had recorded that he died in Culpeper Co., Va.
These notes are from G.E. Howell:
Spencer Withers was only 15 years old when he enlisted at Warrenton, Va, in the summer of 1780 as a substitute for Peter Crim in the Company of Captain Francis Triplett. He marched to Hillsbourough, N.C., where he entered the brigade of Colonel Morgan. He fought in the battle of Cowpens as his brother Lewis had and after that was detached to Fauquier under Lieutenant Dearin, arriving home in March of 1781 and then discharged.
He was christianed by Rev. Craig. Following his discharge, he went to live on 210 acres of land that his father owned in Culpepper Co., Va. He married Esther Potts and they became some of the early settlers of Cledinin District, Mason Co., West Virginia. Esther died in Mason County, 18 July 1818 and the house was consumed by fire the same year. Spencer returned to Culpepper Co, Va., to live in 1823. In 1831 he was granted an annual pension of $80.00 for his military service. He died in Culpepper Co., Va, on 24 Apr 1843.

10 Dec 1821: Land Transaction (release) in Fauquier Co., Va from William Porter. [Index to Deeds, Grantee Index T-Z, 1759-1914, for Fauquier Co., Va, LDS Film #31582, deed in Vol. 26, page 30].

Virkus VI:648 states that he moved to Mason County in 1810, but later returned to Culpeper County, leaving his wife behind in Mason County living with his son Jacob until death.
