Elnathan Moses - Revolutionary War Veteran, Early settler of West Rutland, Vermont

Family Connection - 4th great-grandfather of Roy Ellsworth Stricker


Whipple Hollow Cemetery, West Rutland, Vermont

Elnathan Moses was born to parents Benoni and Susannah (Humphrey) Moses on Feb. 28, 1744 in Simsbury, Connecticut. 

In 1767, Elnathan married Elizabeth Case. He made his living as a carpenter. They had ten children, all born in West Rutland, Vermont.

            Laura           b. 1789            d. 1837

Elnathan was a veteran of the Revolutionary War.  In October 1781, the patriots were worried that the British were going to invade the Lake area of Vermont. On Oct. 12, 1781, Major General Phillip Schuyler received a message from Brigadier General John Stark that the British Army had arrived at the south end of Lake George.

Elnathan Moses was called up as a member of Capt. Nathaniel Blanchard's company of Militia under Col. Thomas Lee on Oct. 21, 1781, in Castleton, Vermont. He was released from service on Oct 30, 1781, when it became clear that the reports of British at Lake George were incorrect. 

By the way, yes, Phillip Schuyler was the father of the Schuyler sisters Angelica, Eliza, and Peggy. 

Elnathan died in 1825. In his will, he provided for his wife for the rest of her lifetime, but the bulk of his estate went to Silas Hawkins, the son of his daughter Laura. His wife's portion of the estate was also to revert to Silas Hawkins after his wife's death. 

Note that Laura Moses married Frederick Burgess in 1817, and it is not clear who is the father of Silas Hawkins. 

Elnathan Moses was buried in Whipple Hollow Cemetery in West Rutland, Vermont, but no stone exists.

Welcome!

Welcome to my genealogy blog! I'm just getting started, but I hope to share family trees, facts, and stories I've uncovered while researching my family and Dave's family. So, I will be posting family trees for the ancestors of Edward Elihu Hazen Jr.,  Ruth Ann Bradley, Roy Ellsworth Stricker, and Anna Elnora Rosemeyer,  My genealogy is a work in progress, and although I strive for accuracy, and have at least one (usually several) historical record to back up each name and relationship, I do make revisions from time to time. My goal for each branch is to trace direct ancestors at leas as far as the first immigrant to the U.S.  I'm new at blogging, so please be patient - I'm learning as I go. Again, welcome! Starla

Rosemeyer Family Tree - Friederick Rosemeyer and Eleanor Kolling

Friederich Rosemeyer  and Eleanor Kolling - Immigrants to Indianapolis Family Connection - great-grandfather and great-grandmother to Anna Rosemeyer Friederich Rosemeyer was born in Germany on Aug. 25, 1844.  I haven't found a marriage record (yet!) but in 1873, he immigrated to the U.S. with his wife Eleanor, age 31, daughter Christine, age 4, and son Friederich, age 11 months. They arrived in New York on September 19th. I assume they traveled by train to Indianapolis from New York City.  Why Indianapolis? We may never know for sure, but it is likely they came because they had connections to other members of Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church (now Zion United  Church of Christ). Indianapolis had a large German immigrant community, and at Zion, they worshipped in German until at least 1928, when the first services in English occurred.  Friederich and Eleanor had six children:     Christina      1869-1875     Frederick  ...

 Edward Hazen - Immigrant, Patriarch of Hazens in the U.S.  Family connection - seventh great-grandfather of Edward Elihu Hazen Jr.  Edward Hazen was born in Cadney, Lincolnshire, England on December 14, 1614. His father was Thomas Hassen (1580-1628). His mother was Elizabeth Mowry (1582-1630).  Edward immigrated to the town of Rowley, MA in 1647. The  town was established in 1639, so he was an early settler, but not an original one.  Edward married Elizabeth, surname unknown. She died on Sept. 18. 1649 and was buried in the Rowley Burial Ground. They had no children.  On Mar. 2, 1650, Edward married Hannah Grant, daughter of Thomas Grant and Jane Haburne.
