Date:	2015-10-17
Who are your related ancestors?	Carey,Cary,Foster,Jones, Jacksons,Peyton,etc.etc
Where are they from?	Virginia, England,Ireland
Comments:	I've been to this site before looking for Carys except my Carys were black at the time. Since then I found out we descend from Lott Cary the missionarys family and were at one time mulatto. I recently took a DNA test and I am matching the Fosters of England, Jacksons of Ireland, and the only direct Cary family is that of John Cary the immigrant of Plymouth Mass. Any other Carys I come across are kin of other familys that I match but have multiple similiar names to mine. Don't ask me by whom lol. I think that it may be posssible that my Carys once lived in Mass. or a descendant of John the immigrant went to Virginia (Warick County-Mathews County,VA) Rose Carey

Who are your related ancestors?	Swank, Rasor
Where are they from?	Pennsylvania 1763 Peter Swank; George Royer 1776 by marriage
Comments:	Kudos on your website ... the updates are appreciated. Your history has contributed to my own family history of the Swanks, in particular, and the Royers by marriage. Have you found new info for the ancestors of Peter Swank 1763? Are you including any updated info for the Swankites? My direct ancestors are Jacob Swank 1795 (Swankites) and Sarah Rasor 1798. Their daughter Sarah married William Elder Anderson and moved to Clear Creek Twp., Huntington County, Indiana in 1861. Living in the same area were Samuel Rasor and his wife Hannah Royer. George Royer and wife Sarah Schwenk lived with them and Sarah died there. I am interested in the history of the various religious groups that were significant in these families. Indiana is our home state. Thanks for all your research and your willingness to share ... Joyce Doty Holiday Island, Arkansas

Comments:	Mr. Follis, I read with great pleasure your post "Kelker Families Switzerland to Pennsylvania....." I see that you are a descendant from the Rudolph branch of the Kelker family. I am from the Anthony branch. I am trying to put together a brief history of the Kelker family, trying to present the Hess/Rudolph Kelker family record in a more readable and interesting form and adding interesting history from other sources. I am emphasizing that part of the family represented by Anthony to my grandfather Challen Marius Cook Kelker and to Challen's brother Henry Creath Kelker. I found your "Kelker Families....." piece very interesting and helpful, and I greatly appreciate your research efforts. Please contact me. I have several questions that I am sure that you could help me with. I am out of the country until August 10, but you can reach me by e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you, and happy gardening. All the best and many thanks, Norman Kelker 343 East 30th Street, Apt. 2J New York, NY 10016 212 725-8202 home 917 757-9836 cell

Who are your related ancestors?	Mcclure,Drake,Bodle,Breese,Wilson,Goulding,Wilde,Savage
Comments:	I have been working on our ancestry for a very long time, trying to connect the dots if you will, it is for me a labor of love, and a love of finding the history and stories behind the name. When I found the sight, at first I was glad to of found a source to work from or within with respect to information being gathered. For my experience , I do understand the rights of descendency with respect for one to be able to use amorial c.o.a and crests as their own. Where there is absolute documentation, c.o.a, crests,much like the medals you mentioned, become the markers in time for some of us. Thank-you for your honesty.

Where are they from?	Lehigh Co., PA > Crawford Co., PA & Stark Co., OH - Germany
Do you have a web page?	http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=mosier4640
Comments:	I am attempting to ascertain the parents of George W. Essig (b. 1850, in OH; d. 1914, in Crawford Co., PA). He married Lavina Reichel (a member of my Crawford Co., PA family). My theory is that he was the son of George Essig (1822-1902) and Maria Brouse (1831-1853). I have a strong suspicion that George W. was born out of wedlock, however, since Maria Brouse married 2 years later to George White and had a son, Amos J. White, in 1853. Amos J. White's death certificate confirms that his parents were George White and Maria Brouse and George W. Essig's obituary notice states that he had a half-brother, Amos J. White.

Comments:	My branch of the family continued to move west until 1900. They went from Pa to va. on to Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, North Dakota, back to Iowa, Missouri and finally to Oklahoma.

I have asked them to send me a copy of their materials, and also noted for them that they have his grave listed in the index as unknown probably because it is getting more difficult to read however there is no doubt.

Where are they from?	Trotwood, OH, Montgomery Co.
Comments:	For some years now I have been looking for more information re: one of my geat grandfathers, Peter Swank and his wife, Hannah. I do believe I have signed in here previously. Did you get the info that when they moved from PA, before coming to OH, they lived for a time in KY? Did you know that when they homesteaded in Montgomery Co, the first winter they lived in a 3 sided log house? There was not time to do the chimney because the mortar between logs would freeze and be unsafe. They kept "warm" by building a big fire pit, could watch the wild animals at night and the birds were so many when they landed in the trees at night the limbs would break. I'm trying to get my nephew's son, in Paris, France, to do a drawing depicting that scene so I can put it in the book I'm writing, "The Postmaaster and His Bride." My father was postmaster in Trotwood for 27 years. My Swank line - Peter, Eli, David, Harvey, Raymond, Richard (brothers - Millard & Cecil - sister Marcille. I have 2 sons - Stanford & Sheldon, 2 daughters - Sylvia & Sharon, 13 grandchidren, 4 great grandchildren. I celebrated my 90th birthday June 4, 2011.

Comments:	I find your web page most interesting and helpful. I am working on a widow lady named ELIZABETH, who married JACOB GOOD in 1782 in Shenandoah County, Virginia. She was listed as being the widow of PETER KINGERY. I know that JACOB GOOD was listed as the step-father of three girls who were married in 1789, 1793 and in 1800. All three of these girls were listed as having the last name OLINGER. I truly feel that they were OLINGERs and that their mother was the widow of PETER OLINGER of Pennsylvania. I know that one of these OLINGER girls was born in Pennsylvania and another one was born in Maryland. The other one was probably also born in either PA or MD. Hopefully I will eventually figure all of this great puzzle out.

Date:	2010-07-20
Where are they from?	Trotwood, OH
Comments:	I would be glad to give the info I have. Peter & Hannah Swank had 11 children. (I have all their names.) My line comes down through Eli and Susannah (Krider), who had 4 children, then David E. and Mary (Baker) Swank who had 6 children; my grandfather, Harvey Swank and Lydia Ellen (Miller) had two children, one was my father, Raymond and Bessie (Fletcher) Swank. They had 4; I, Richard, was third born, married Mary Youngblood. We had 4. And of course I have much that goes along with this. I am glad to see you go back to Peter and Hannah Swank also. Since I can get no further back that Peter Swank, I've concentrated on my mother's side and have it back to 1453 in England. My wife's back to 420 A.D. It is said that one of the queen's royal line goes back to Joseph of Aramethia. Once we got to royalty, they kept great records. Good luck in genealogy.

Who are your related ancestors?	Fallis, Dillon, Linton, Godown
Where are they from?	Clinton Co, OH
Comments:	Hello, I am trying to tie down which Hannah Dillon b1792 married Jonathan Fallis in Clinton Co Ohio and whether they had a daughter Mary Fallis b1812 who married Samuel Smith Linton.(There are differing opinions as to whether Hannah is the daughter of Jesse Dillon and Hannah Ruckman of Clinton Co. Jesse Dillon's will lists a Hannah Wright as his daughter in 1823. No mention of a Hannah Fallis.) I am putting in an application to Ohio First Families and want to include the Fallis/Dillon families. I need an official record for the Fallis/Dillon marriage but have not found anything in the Hinshaw records surprising enough. Perhaps they did not marry in Clinton Co. I am Hannah's great, great, great granddaughter I believe. My grandmother was Rachel Linton, whose father was Jonathan Fallis Linton m Eliza Jane Sapp. Jonathan F Linton was the son of Samuel Smith Linton and Mary Fallis. This I have through official death records. I received a lovely email from Stan Follis a few years back for which I am grateful. Any help would be most welcome. Eleanor Linton Leech PS. Love your web site.


Name:	Malcolm Falle <[email protected]>
Date:	2010-06-11
Who are your related ancestors?	Falle, Falla, Faller, Fall
Where are they from?	I currently live in Brittany, France, my family originates from Fallaize in Normandy.
Do you have a web page?	Not applicable
Comments:	A very interesting website which I stumbled across purely by accident whilst searching for Armorial bearings for the Falle family. The Falle family originates from Fallaize in Normandy and settled in the British Channel Island of Jersey which with the other British Channel Islands of Guernsey, Alderney and Sark historically formed part of the Dutchy of Normandy. It is recorded that Jersey knights rode with William Duke of Normandy when he conquered England in 1066. In 1204 the Channel Islands became British protectorates and as such have recognized the English Monarchy since that date, however, even today when toasting the health of Queen Elizabeth 2nd of the United Kingdom, the Jersey loyal toast is always "to the Queen our Duke" because she is still "the Duke of Normandy" as well as the Queen of England and it's dominions. During the English Civil war Jersey's Govenor George De Carteret gave shelter to the young Prince Charles after his father was captured and executed by the Roundheads. When Prince Charles was restored to the British throne in 1660 he remembered his old friend George De Carteret of Jersey and in 1664 he granted by charter lands to George De Carteret in the Americas. Two boatloads of De Carteret's family and followers subsequently left Jersey and settled in the new American lands. They called their settlement "New Jersey" Members of the Falle family were amongst these "New Jersey" settlers and is from here I imagine their offspring moved on to settle other areas of America and during this time the Falle surname would as you rightly say have been corrupted into various different spellings. I would say that the Falle and Follis family's undoubtedly have mutual forebears along the way.

Comments:	Well, I made up a surname for deterring salesmen from calling me. I looked it up and found no such surname exists. It was T. Ron Num = "the wrong number". Would you believe a salesmen called me and made up an elaborate tale about another "Num" he knew! Then some geneology outfit online made up a fake geneology about "Num"! I made another one, too, but I am going to check and make sure it is really fake, because a lady is using it as a pen name. I think she got it out of the phone book, too! I may make up another one for someone else to use as his phone book name, too.

Comments:	I'm delighted to find your webpage today. I am a descendant of Jacob Kelker, an older brother of your ancestor John Kelker--both of them sons of Rudolph and Maria Weidman Kelker. Jacob married Rebecca Thome; they moved to the Pittsburgh area and their daughter Charlotte was born there in 1800. In 1827, she married my ancestor John Marshall (1803-1889). Thanks for all your work on the Kelker family.

Who are your related ancestors?	Henry Nelson Yates Zumbrun
Where are they from?	Baltimore, MD area
Do you have a web page?	Not yet!
Comments:	Hello! My name is Sandra Lee Gaster (maiden) Zumbrun. I am married to Henry Nelson Yates Zumbrun, a descendant of Heinrich and Johann Zumbrun. He is the son of Sylvester Henry Nelson Zumbrun, a Maryland Zumbrun, and Alice Madelon Yates Zumbrun, who was born and buried in Middletown, VA. Sylvester H. N. Zumbrun, born January 26, 1916, was the eldest son of Orrell Zumbrun, who lived in the Baltimore, Maryland area, with his wife and other sons and daughters. Sylvester just passed away on June 29, 2009 and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery on October 30, 2009 after a memorably beautiful Full Military Honors service with a band and gun salute after his casket was carried to his grave site by a horse-drawn caisson. He now rests in peace with his first wife, Elsie, who died from cancer in her thirties. Madelon, Sylvester's second wife whom he cared for lovingly for many years after she became ill, was born July 12, 1916, and passed away in November 1993. The Zumbrun generations continue with our one daughter, Amanda Grace Zumbrun, who stayed to live and work in Richmond, VA after graduating from VCU in 2007. I am very interested in learning more about genealogy in order to document my husband's and my ancestry and to create a family tree and book with this info for our daughter to have for the future when she marries some day and has children. We have a soft-bound book that Sylvester Zumbrun wrote after he researched and gathered family ancestry info from his records, the National Records in Washington, D. C. and Champ Zumbrun, the family historian for the Maryland and Pennsylvania Zumbrun families. It traces the Zumbrun family surname back to about 1754 in Switzerland.

Who are your related ancestors?	Zeigler/Ziegler/Ziglar
Where are they from?	Maxatawny and Longswamp twps., Berks Co., Pennsylvania
Comments:	Dear Mr. Follis, I was googling this morning, looking for clues on one of my biggest brick walls--my Zeigler/Ziegler line--when I found your terrific website. I found that our Zeigler/Ziegler lines have two things in common--they were both from Berks Co., PA and both ended up near Ft. Wayne, IN. While yours were in Noble and Whitley counties, my g-g-grandmother, Anna S. Zeigler/Ziegler Karst, her husband Peter Karst and their family moved from Berks Co. to Hancock Co., OH to Huntington Co., IN. I was wondering if you've ever run across a John Zeigler/Ziegler (it seems our line prefers the "Zeigler" spelling) who married a Mary Schmeck in Berks Co. in your extensive research on the Zeiglers/Zieglers in Berks Co. This line has been a brick wall for years. While I've been able to trace Mary's ancestry, John Zeigler doesn't seem to fit in to any of the Zeigler/Ziegler lines I've found for that area. John and Mary had two known children: Anna--b. 1819, m. Peter Karst in Longswamp Twp., Berks Co. @ 1845 allegedly in Reading, lived in Hancock Co., OH before removing to Polk Twp., Huntington Co., IN in 1867. Peter Karst's family was Roman Catholic and Anna converted in 1867-8. Isaac--b. 1821, m. Sarah Catherine Schneider in Berks Co., removed @ 1850 to Jefferson Co, IN and a few years later to Vernon Twp., Jennings Co., IN. Isaac's death record in Jennings Co. confirmed my grandmother's oral tradition that her g-grandparents were John and Mary Schmeck Zeigler. And three possible children: According to a cousin's published research in the 1960s, Anna and Isaac had a sister named Harriet, but no other information is known about her. Also, I found a record indicating John and Mary may be the parents of a Susannah Zeigler, b. 1814 in Berks Co. (Maxatawny Twp.) There may have been another son (or cousin) named Andrew. Thanks for your help!

And Samuel Lantis' son, Charles Ired is my grandfather (my mother's father). I have some of the genealogy going back to Johannes Landis and Katherina Schinz in 1520. Our family started to spell in as Lantis due to the miserable writing of my gr-gr grandfather, David Lantis in his will. I would love to continue my research if you are willing. Please let me know.

Where are they from?	Ireland, Campobello Canada, Eastport, Maine
Comments:	Just sticking my toe in the water. I have researched my mothers family (Follis) as far as I am able for now. They came from Inneskillen Northern Ireland in 1839 to St. Johns NB, Canada and went directly to Campobello NB, CAN. I think to serve out an indenture to get to North America. The family bounced back and forth between Campobello and Eastport and there are many questions and gaps. Many family members disappeared and may have moved to other parts of the country in the 1800s.

I have their Family Bible but, unfortunately, there is no information about her ancestry, not even her parents names. I have searched and searched but cannot find her anywhere with certainty. I found a post by Jon Rhan #or, perhaps, James) that states that she was born in Cornwall, PA but, so far, have found no documentation to support that. If you have any info on my Lavina I would be soooo grateful! Thank for reading my message and for sharing the fruits of your hard work with all of us. Bonnie Ward

Comments:	My name is Jesse Fallis and I am a direct descendant of William Fallis son of either Isaac or Jacob Fallis. I'm a little bit confused when the family gets to Ohio. There I can find William living with Isaac as what I first had believed to be his son. The problem is that I've also found a William living with Jacob in VA as his son. This leads me to believe that maybe William is Isaacs�s brother not son, and they both went to Ohio together. Can anyone help me with this answer? Also I've found a reference to Jacobs�s house in VA. From writings I believe that I have narrowed the location to within what is now the George Washington National Forest. I tried to attach a link below but it is picking it up as spam. Easiest way to find it is to search google books for "Memoirs and Journal of Hugh Judge". From there you can search the book. (p.18 at the very bottom of the page, search for Jacob, the Fallis is on two different lines and separated by a hyphen so searching for it doesn�t provide any results.) Hope you enjoy! Jesse

Elizabeth is listed as marring a Miller and her daughter is Susannah, 1807-1848. Susannah married Charles Burket, 1805-1859, their daughter was Sarah Burket. I have two questions, are these people in your family line and if so do you know what Elizabeth Swank's husband name was?

Who are your related ancestors?	Follis
Where are they from?	Ireland
Comments:	Hi Stan I�ve found some interesting information about the Follis / Fallis family name, mainly as a result of having my DNA tested. For a number of years I have been researching the Follis / Fallis families of Ireland and have been unable to find a record which clearly states where the name originated, or who or where did the first Follis / Fallis family of Ireland come from? Part of the problem is that there are so many variations of the surname in the Records. Members of my own Follis family have been recorded as Follis, Fallis, Fallas, Fallows, Fallais, and Foalies in various Irish historical records. There are also other variations of the Follis name in the Irish Records including Foales, Fowles, Fawlis and Foules. My belief is that my branch of the Follis family came from Scotland, but as yet I have been unable to find a Historical record that links our Follis family to Scotland. However through DNA testing I have come a bit closer to finding a solid link between Scotland and my ancestors. Family Tree DNA, a company based in Texas, USA, tested my DNA and from the results I have found there is another Follis living in America who matches my DNA. The most interesting thing I have found through having my DNA tested is that most of my matches come from Scotland. There are 60 people in the Family tree Records who match my DNA and of those 60 people, 20 have ancestors from Scotland, 11 are from Ireland, 10 are from England and 9 are from France. There are lesser numbers from various other countries, but the important finding is that the majority of my matches come from Scotland. There are very few records of Follis / Fallis in Scotland, however there are many records for Foulis, Fowlis and Fallows. Therefore if I can find a DNA match with a member of one of these Scottish families we can be almost certain that at least one of the Follis / Fallis families of Ireland originally came from Scotland. However they may have originally been called Foulis, Fowlis or Fallows. As of yet no one from any of these Scottish families has taken the DNA test, so I cannot prove my theory until they do. Below is a link to the Follis DNA project; http://www.familytreedna.com/public/follis/ Finally I would just like to say that my experience of the DNA test has been all positive and I hope more Follis / Fallis�s will consider taking the test. All the Best Mark Follis

I have one ancestor born in Werttenberg Germany in 1727, married 1750, came to U.S. 1755. His son (born 1755-died 1845 in Ohio), was also in the Rev. War.

My husband is descended through Catherine and George Essig, and we live in Huntington County, Indiana. If you learn anything further, I'd be pleased to hear about it.

Comments:	After spending the last 17 years researching I have spent the past two years just starting to organize "everything" in a "computerized" format. After awhile it becomes overwhelming the amount of paper information, old pictures, etc. that can be accumulated over the years. Often I have wondered why no one else seems to have my enthusiasm for collecting what I consider priceless information on our family. Your web page is wonderful and truly you could not be repaid for the hours you've spent. I accidently came across it as I was searching for information on cemetaries in Ohio.

Comments:	I am looking for a sarah anne munro with cousins in Fowlis castle. She married William Procter of Sussex England. I understand Sarah was born in 1810 as well as William. They came out to Van diemans Land now called Tsmania in 1830 on the Man of War ship with six children one being my great grandfather George Munro Procter.He married Hannah Williams and is related to the Cottle chronicles line. Williams great grand father was Thomas Procter and Sarah Susans.Williams father was Nathaniel Procter whom I think married Anne Lamb. I would appreciate information on William Procter who was born in 1810 and also Sarah Anne Munro also born around 1810. Any info on their marriage or birth would be greatly appreciated.

Comments:	My great-grandmother was Elizabeth Eikenberry (daughter of Jacob John E Eikenberry) Elizabeth married William Barnett Pottenger(known as Barnett)... Jacob John E Eikenberry born Jun 20, 1797,in Franklin CO, PA married to Diana Brower was the son of John Eichenberg Sr.born Jan 10, 1763 in Lancaster, PA, who was the son of Peter Eichenberg Sr. born Aug 02, 1731 in America married to Fronica Groff. He was the son of Martinus Eychenberg Sep 13, 1701 of Neuwied, Rhineland, Germany married to Anna Marie Dornin. He was the son of Andreas Eychenberg born 1675 of Neuwied, Rhineland, Germany married to Anna Christiana Stephen and he was the son of Johannes Eychenberg born 1642 of Neuwied, Rhineland, Germany.. Do I have you totally confused? I was so excited to find your site which seems to match up with much of the information I already have. I have my great grandmother's Dunkard little white cap and her little brown hymnal which has her obituary glued into it and her tomato soup recipe. She and her husband went to North Dakota when she was in her 70s to homestead, but he Barnett Pottenger died and was buried out there. She moved back to Indiana after PROVING up her homestead and selling it to her son, my grandfather, Crayton Pottenger. She died in Indiana in 1912. Thank you for having such a wonderful site on the web. God Bless You. Charlotte (Simonsen) Guptill. Ps: My mother was Florence Charlotte Pottenger who married Merrion Simonsen and lived most of their lives in North Dakota?Montana/North Dakota. I was born in Montana 9-22-1949

Comments:	Joseph Berry (my great grandfather)was born in Phildelphia, PA. He married Marie Gracius Federick on May 13, 1897 in Abbeville, La, daughter of Jean Federick and Aurelise Langlinas. They had 5 children: Azina Berry, b. Maurice, LA, d. April 26, 1978, Sulphur, La. Famo Barry, b. 1895, Abbeville, La, d. 1983, Lake Arthur, LA. Mary Berry. William Berry, b. November 15, 1905, Abbeville, La, d. date unknown. Medora Berry, b. July 19, 1900, Abbeville, La, d. date unknown. My grandfather is Famo Barry. He married Francoise Beard and they had 6 children. I am the daughter of their youngest, Margaret. In addition, at a memorial service in Lake Arthur, LA last month I had a conversation with a relative that knew our name had been shortened from Eikenberry to Berry and that originally we came from Germany and settled in Philadelphia. I seem to recall a story from when I was a small child that my great grandfather had fled the north and changed his name so he would not be located. So if you know of a history of a Joseph Eikenberry that fled south - I would be happy to hear about it. Thanks and please feel free to share this info. Barbara

Where are they from?	West Virginia/Virginia
Comments:	I am descended from Jacob Webb (c. 1725 VA) and Mary Austin (Henry -> Giles -> Martin -> James Madison "Max" -> Fannie). I have found two alternatives for Jacob's ancsetry -- (his father is either John Webb II, m. Hannah Carter, OR James Webb, m. Elizabeth). I see you have both lines linked off your page... any idea which is the more accurrate, and why? I have seen both of these online, but I haven't had much luck in tracking down the source of the divergence. Years ago, I did a lot of paper research and took the line back as far as Jacob with confidence. At that time I recorded the James Webb m. Elizabeth line, but my notes are incomplete and I don't know what convinced me that was correct. Now that I return to genealogy in the internet age, I've been able to push several family lines back but remain uncertain about who Jacob Webb's father was. Do you know the source of these two alternative lines, and where the confusion originated? Thanks for any help you can provide. Christopher Stewart

Where are they from?	Cavan, Ireland
Comments:	Hi Stan, What a great site! I have been dropping in from time to time over the last year and it has spurred me on in my quest to find more about the origins of the name and the various Follis groups. As far as I can see there are groups in Italy, France, Ireland, Britain and the USA. I have recently had my DNA tested by Family Tree DNA in the hope of finding a close match to someone with a name like Follis from the 19665 names listed so far. My results can be seen on http://www.ysearch.org/ and my ID is J87Z3. I just wonder if any Follis/Fallis on your site has had their DNA tested and would like to contact me? If not, then is anyone tempted to go the DNA route as well? A close match establishes once and for all a common family link. Best wishes, John Follis.

Comments:	Great work!!! We have talked before,been a long time. I need information on Thomas H Follis born 1 Oct 1916 in TN. He is the son of William P Follis SR. and Nancy Lucinda Mayes. I personally hand copied this name and birth date from a family bible owned by Roy D Follis of Alamo, TN.This was in about 1990. There is no death date for Thomas. However he is mentioned in his father's will as to receve the family farm at his fathers death. I have found marriages for Thomas to Polly Ann Bird 2 jun 1842 in Scott County, MO and to Elizabeth A Jones 22 Dec 1859 in Madison County, TN. I saw the original marriage licens of Thomas and Polly in the Sulphur Springs, Texas Court House, while doing research in 1990. Why it was there is a mystery. Goodwin M Follis, a brother to Thomas, had a son named Thomas H who is burried in Cumby, TX same county as Sulphur Springs, TX. This Thomas was born 1 jan 1846 in Madison Co, TN. Goodwon Is my G G grandfather. What happened to the older Thomas???? Help anyone LUTHER FOLLIS

Where are they from?	Greene Co, Ohio
Comments:	There are numerous errors available on this family, but one I just saw needs correcting. I think it is quite clear that the Webb who owned land on the Blackwater in Franklin Co, VA connecting to a Kelly is not this one but rather one that moved to KY. Leah Webb with appropriate dates is found there in Webster Co. I have coresponded with a descendant. Also ours moved to Ohio before "Hal" moved to Flloyd Co., VA so info suggesting that that is the "heartland" of the VA Webbs is simply wrong.

We always went past the cemetery and stopped to look around. It was all overgrown at that time but we still were amazed at the age of the tombstones. Thanks again for bringing back a childhood memory!

Who are your related ancestors?	Follis
Where are they from?	Fermanagh, Ireland
Comments:	Hi Stan My name is Mark Follis and I was born in Fermanagh Northern Ireland. I have started tracing my family roots and have found that most of my ancestors came from Cavan in Southern Ireland, just across the border from Fermanagh. The name Follis is not very common in Ireland today; I believe a lot of them emigrated to Canada and the US around the time of the potato famine. We pronounce Follis beginning with foll as in follow. However in Fermanagh Follis and Fallis are pronounced very similar. Fallis beginning with fall as in: to fall over. There has always been a bit of banter between the Follis family, we would insist that Fallis is pronounced as you have stated, like Fallas as in i.e. Dallas. Follistown in county Meath, Ireland has been called Follistown since before 1642, and was derived from the surname Follis. However as yet I have found no records of a Follis family ever having lived there. It is difficult to say when the name originally came to Ireland, as there are three possible periods, the Norman invasion of Ireland, the Plantation of Ireland by King Henry the VIII of England or the follow up plantation by his daughter Queen Elizabeth the 1st. As for the Follis name coming over with King William at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, I�m not sure, there may have been members of the Follis family who fought at the Battle of the Boyne, but I have found no records yet. Also Follistown is very close to the Boyne, however as I stated earlier Follistown was named before 1642. Almost all records of Follis in Ireland have been Church of Ireland, i.e. Protestant. Hope this answers some of your questions. All the Best Mark

Comments:	Stanley I made the old Fallis Cemetery sign many years ago (around 1980) when my son was in the Cub Scouts. His troop cleaned up the cemetery, which was a service project done every few years. I have a list of people buried in the cemetery which I got from the Greene Co. Gen. Society (1983). I am also one of the Bellbrook/Sugarcreek members doing research for another history book, this one emphasizing Township history. I have recorded land transfers from 1800 to 1896 and will be glad to share that info. The Berryhill's were in the area before 1810 and some other relatives even earlier. I'm sure they knew the Fallis family. Steve

I have not done much research but maybe this can help you. I would suspect your family and mine are distantly related due to the location and name (of course).
