4. ii. WILLIAM FRYATT, b. Abt. 1804, He is on the 1830 census in Circleville, Pg. 53.; d. 1847, then is on the 1840 Parke Co, INdiana census..

Generation No. 3

3. ELIZABETH *³ FRYATT (BARTHOLOMEW², BARTHOLOMEW¹) was born Abt. 1802 in Ohio or Pennsylvania (census discrepancy); or Eliza. She married JACOB * BURGET April 2, 1820 in Circleville, Pickaway Co, OH. He was born Abt. 1800 in Pennsylvania (reported by Julia in census), and died in These parents for the Burget's below are still speculated.

Notes for ELIZABETH * FRYATT:

There are 4 FRYATT marriages listed in Pickaway County, OH:

1.) Eliza FRYATT to Jacob BURGETT - April 1, 1820 (I think that is the certificate date, but the marriage is on the 2nd)

2.) William FRYATT to Deliah JUSTUS - Aug. 17, 1822

3.) Julia Ann FRYATT to Mathias WHITESELL - April 2, 1835

4.) Rosannah FRYATT to William HARPER - Oct. 20, 1835.

I assume all these Fryatt's are siblings but I can only find evidence of William. Eliza had presumably died by 1850 census when wives were named and given ages. I need to search for the other two with Mathias WHITESELL & William HARPER - but I cannot find them on any Pickaway Co. census. The name Julia Ann here, makes it encouraging that Eliza Fryatt named her own daughter after other Julia Ann's in the family, such as Eliza's younger sister ?

The below paragraph was a note sent by Larry Bowling who believes he descends from an earlier FRYATT of ours.

Here are the siblings of Elizabeth and William Fryatt: Margaret, Ann, Mary,

Robert, Edmond, Bartholomew, John and Rosanna. My source for this was a book titled

McConnell Memorabilia. I have a copy and will check for any other

information on Bartholomew Fryatt over the weekend and let you know.

Notes for JACOB * BURGET:

There are 4 FRYATT marriages listed in Pickaway County, OH:

1.) Eliza FRYATT to Jacob BURGETT - April 1, 1820 (I think that is the certificate date, but the marriage is on the 2nd)

I have no proof that Julia Ann and the other 2 sibs were children of Eliza & Jacob BURGETT (#1). But this is the only BURGETT - FRYATT marriage I can find. I mention that his father seems most likely to be either Joshua Sr. or Henry - however He could be one of Joshua's 3 sons, George, Joseph or Joshua Jr., as I cannot find their ages, just a statement in a brief bio that Joshua Sr. came to that area of Ohio in 1804 with his 3 sons. Then I cannot find a remnant of any of those names in the county census ever. Nor is there mention how or if Henry Burget is connected to Joshua. But Henry died after 1835 as he is docmented in a bio as being alive still in 1836, but dying soon thereafter, I presume in 1836 or 37. Henry is mentioned as being from Virginia - which James Burget claims his father came from. Wish I could find where Joshua came from - if Pennsylvania, then I would guess this is the line for Julia Ann since she gave that as the her father's BP on the 1880 & 1900 census.

I'm not sure how to connect these below with our Jacob - ?

5 Aug 1838 Jacob Burget and wife May of Pickaway Co., OH, sold 74 acres in Darby Twp to John Reaher of Pickaway. (This is probably the son, Jacob)

7 Sept 1838 Jacob Burget and wife of Pickaway Co., OH signed over land and interest in 109 acres "quit claim" to James Wells.

24 Dec 1834, Jacob Burget's heirs deeded their interest in land to James Wells.

Heirs of Jacob Burget (who sold to James Wells) were:

1. Jacob Burgett & wife Mary of Pickaway

2. Zaduck & wife Charity Lewis of Pickaway

3. Abner and wife Nancy Wells of Pickaway

4. Abraham Burget (no residence listed)

5. John & wife Elizabeth Miller (no residence listed)

6. Thomas Burget

7. Solomon & wife Sarah M. Quinn

All deeds recorded 26 Oct. 1848

Another note found in the Burget GenForum

I found Sarah, Cassa & Rachel's father in the Genealogical Index to Chancery Books 1823-1840 Franklin Co., OH, Court of Common Pleas, compiled 1987 by the Franklin County Genealogical Society!

In Vol. 3 of the Chancery Books, on pages 48-50, there must be an entry about the estate of George Burgett, who was "of Pickaway County" and died intestate in 1825. His heirs are listed and are:

1) Cassandra Burgett, daughter & heir, w/o Wm. B. Hurley,

2) Eli Burgett, son & heir

3) Hulda Burgett, daughter & heir

4) Jacob Burgett, son & heir

5) John Burgett, son & heir

6) Mary, heir (my note: is this his widow??)

7) Mary Ann Burgett, daughter & heir

8) Rachel Burgett, daughter & heir, wife of Thomas Call

10) Sarah Burgett, daughter & heir.

I think that George might be a brother to my gggrandfather, John Burgett, who came from Pickaway County and settled in Tippecanoe County. I'll be in touch.

"""""""

So, it appears from others studies we have a Jacob, s/o Jacob and a Jacob s/o George - both of whom would fit the age group of the one that married Elizabeth. Assuming the one s/o Jacob is not Elizabeth Fryatt's husband because his wife is the one who married Mary - then the one who is shown as George's may be more likely.

Burial: Jacob's Father most likely Henry or Joshua Sr.

Children of ELIZABETH FRYATT and JACOB BURGET are:

i. JANE⁴ BURGET, b. 1827, OH-living with husb. and Julia Burget 1850 Harrison Twp; d. Bet. 1860 - 1870, She is on the 1850 & 60 census with Wm. - but not 1870; m. WILLIAM R. DUVALL, August 23, 1846, Pickaway Co, OH (this is Wm's 1st of 2 wives); b. 1817, OH; d. Aft. 1880, Prob. No children with either wife.

5. ii. BARTHOLOMEW F. BURGET, b. 1829, OH- on 1850 census living with Andrew Duvall & Cynthia; d. April 23, 1865, Potomac River - Civil war - Company D- Ohio 180 Inf..

iii. SARAH BURGET, b. December 1830, Pickaway Co., OH- or1834; moved to Cisco, IL 1901; d. March 13, 1904, Cisco,IL; lived at St. Paul, OH; body sent back to OH; m. ANDREW R. DUVALL, Bet. 1850 - 1861, This was his 2nd wife (#1=Cynthia LOVE); b. October 23, 1818, Ohio; d. January 13, 1875.

Notes for SARAH BURGET:

A phone book entry belonging to Ann's Grandmother Julia Ann (Stuckey) Calhoun remarks that Julia Ann Burgett's sister was Sarah Jane Katherine DUVALL, living in Sugar Camp, OH. However, I think Julia Ann BURGET had a sister named Jane who married William DUVALL - and a sister name Sarah who was the 2nd wife of Andrew DUVALL. Who knows, may she also had a sister named Katherine also ? - as of Oct. 2000, I still can only find evidence linking those two sisters as the only known siblings of Julia Ann BURGET - and still no parents. Their is better evidence proving Sarah is a sibling than Jane. First their is the obituary of Julia Ann that states: Mrs. Peter Stuckey had one sister alive in 1903, that was Sarah J. Duvall. Granted the "J" is used but I still think that Jane was a different sister. The J may have been for Jennie - rather than Jane. Sarah's obituary from the Circleville Union Herald, March 17, 1904 reads:

"DIED IN ILLINOIS - Body of Mrs. Sarah Duvall brought home for burial - Mrs. Sarah Duvall, for many years a resident of St. Paul, this county died Sunday, March 13th, in Cisco, IL - she was 86 years old (ed. - this seems inflated and suggests she was born 1818 - all other evidence suggests she was born between 1826-1834. However there is a wide divergence of ages. Census in Pickaway Co, of 1860 & 70 show 26 & 27 respectively giving BDs of 1833/34. Yet her Death certificate claims she was 73 years & 4 months as of March 13, 1904, the date of death at December 1830 or possibly as late as January 1831. Her obituary is most divergent saying 86 years in March 1904 > BD of 1818. I have used 1830 as the BD but I believe anything from 1828 to 1834 is accurate.

Notes for WILLIAM FRYATT:

from Email dated Nov. 15, 2000

Mcfry5352@aol.com

To:

magriff@bigfoot.com

Allan,

This is what I have: I have a William Fryatt married Delilah Justice in

Pickaway Co., OH on Aug. 8, 1821. Then I have 1840 Parke Co., IN census with

a William Fryatt with 1 male 5-10yrs; 3 males under 5yrs; 1 female 40-50yrs;

1 female 10-15yrs; and 1 female 5-10yrs. My theory is William moved to Parke

Co, In, before 1850. I have 1850 Parke Co., IN census with a Harriet Fryatt

age 20yrs living with Acnilla Justus and family. (Spelling of Acnilla in

census was mispelled--it should be Aquilla). This fits in with the 1840

census and states Harriet was born in OH. Also, 1850 Parke Co., IN, census

has a Bartholomew Fryatt, 8yrs, listed with a John Webster--Bartholomew was

listed as being born in IN. I have a family history paper from a lady who

descended from my husband's gr-grandfather's brother's wife's side. (Did you

get that straight? Her great grandmother was sister to my husband's

gr-grandfather's sister-in-law.) Anyway, she said that my husband's

great-grandfather, Andrew Fryatt had the following siblings: Morgan, Amanda,

William, and Bartholomew. I still feel Harriet was their oldest sibling.

The name Bartholomew runs in the family. Also, the family history stated

Andrew's parents both died in 1847 on the same day and were buried in the

same day. The children were scattered among neighbors.

I feel that your Elizabeth was a sister to William who married Delilah

Justice. I also feel that Bartholomew was their father. I'm glad you wrote.

I didn't know she existed. I have e-mailed a man who had posted something

on the LDS site about Bartholomew. I'll let you know if he contacts me. I

can't prove any of this about William and your Elizabeth. There just isn't

any other Fryatts I've come across in OH to IN; and with the repeat of names,

I feel it has to fit.

I can send the documentation of what I have if you like. I'd like to have

what you have about Elizabeth & Jacob. It's funny that you are working on

your wife's side and I'm working on my husband's. Let me know if there's

anything I can do for you.

Sharon

Note, I have found William at 2nd from the bottom of the 1830 census of Pickaway Co, OH -page 53 - listed erroneously as FRYALL. he was then listed as between ages 20 to under 30 with one son and one daughter each under 5 years - and a wife also between 20 to under 30 y.o.

5. BARTHOLOMEW F.⁴ BURGET (ELIZABETH *³ FRYATT, BARTHOLOMEW², BARTHOLOMEW¹) was born 1829 in OH- on 1850 census living with Andrew Duvall & Cynthia, and died April 23, 1865 in Potomac River - Civil war - Company D- Ohio 180 Inf.. He married ELIZABETH JANE PETERS September 17, 1850 in Pickaway Co, OH, daughter of JOHN PETERS and JANE PETERS. She was born 1832.

Notes for BARTHOLOMEW F. BURGET:

official Civil War Records show him drowning in the Patomac River when he was knocked off the ship Massachusetts during a battle. His civil war records show him from Ohio and with widow Elizabeth. I cannot prove he is Julia's brother, but he is living 2 doors down from her when she was living with Jane Burget & Wm. Duvall in 1850, then in 1860 was again living 2 doors down from Julia when she was a new bride with Peter Stuckey. I suspect his maternal Grandfather was Bartholomew FRYATT. Jacob is the only BURGET found in Pickaway Co. with a son of that age group on the 1830 census.

6. JULIA * ANN⁴ BURGET (ELIZABETH *³ FRYATT, BARTHOLOMEW², BARTHOLOMEW¹) was born January 1, 1842 in Circleville, Pickaway Co., Ohio, and died July 16, 1903 in Cisco. She married PETER * LEWIS STUCKEY September 30, 1858 in Pickaway Co.OH (per marriage lic. Age 16), son of JACOB STUCKEY and CATHERINE BARTH. He was born February 6, 1836 in Alsace-Lorraine, Germany; or Berne,Switz., and died January 7, 1920 in Kenosha, WI; Arr.USA @ age 7(1843); NOTES.

Notes for JULIA * ANN BURGET:

DID Julia and Peter meet in an orphanage? - that seems to me to be the best explanation for the lack of findings for both of them???

I am reasonably sure that Julia's Father was one of 6 men: James, Jacob, Joseph, Joshua Jr., John or George BURGET, and that her paternal GF was Joshua Sr. or Henry.

Have not discovered anything definite about ancestors or any other details of Julia; The book HISTORY OF FRANKLIN & PICKAWAY COUNTIES, OHIO 1880 shows several references to Burgett or Burget, but no Julia's - in fact only one female Burget(t) reference.

The following are listed there: Joshua Burgett, Sr. settled there by 1804 and had the following children: Joshua, Jr., John, Mary Altha, George, Mrs.?. Another reference in the book says Joshua Sr.settled in Harrison Twp, 1804 & had sons, Joshua, George & Joseph (I don't know then if Joseph=John) More confusing is the finding in the Cerro Gordo history 100 year history pamphlet a statement that Julia's maiden name was Friatt? I can find plenty of Burgett & Burget names in Ohio at that time, but not one single Friatt...I wonder if that is her Mother's maiden name, or more likely a simple typographical or other reporting error? The above Ohio history book goes into some depth about several of these Burget/ts: Jacob BURGET was a surveyor (dates not listed). Private James BURGET was in the Civil War 12th Regiment Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, Company D, mustered into service Nov. 24, 1863. Henry BURGET came to Pickaway Co. from Hampshire Co. Virginia in 1811, and in 1812 bought land just North of Circleville from a Mr. Denny. He lived there til 1836 when he moved to town & soon died. He had married a Mary Dickson in 1803 - 9 children 4 born in VA, 5 in OH. By 1883 all children were dead except 2 sons & 1 daugh: James & Washington lived in Illinois & Sarah (BURGETT) SMITH - Her husband Wm. D. SMITH, a farmer died in 1856 (she lived in Circleville). There was a widow BURGETT with a son Daniel & 4 daughters all living on Darby Creek. A Sarah BURGET was the 2nd wife of Andrew R. DUVALL {THIS IS SIGNIFICANT IN THAT JULIA'S OBITUARY (July 23, 1903, The Piatt Co. Republican newspaper) STATES SHE HAD A SURVIVING SISTER, SARAH J. DUVALL., it also says Julia was the youngest of 9 children} The book states Benjamin lived in Harrison, OH but died in Shadeville, Franklin Co, OH. BE CAREFUL, from the book it is confusing in that I can't tell with certainty whether Julia's sister was married to Benjamin, Benjamin Jr. or to Benjamin Sr's son Andrew R. I believe it is saying she was the 2nd wife of Andrew R. DUVALL of Madison, OH.; Also there is listed a John Burget who was on a jury in July 1810. Also there was an Edward Cutler who had a son Enos who had a daughter who married a Mr. Burget of Harrison, OH. I also have a copy of the death certificate of both Julia Stuckey & Sarah Duvall, neither showing names of parents that early (1903 & 1904) Also I could not locate an obituary for Sarah Duvall in Monticello; Sarah does have an obit from the Circleville newspaper that shows her body was shipped back to Reber Hill Cem. near Ashville and that she had lived much of her life in the tiny town near there of St. Paul.

Nov.1994: Both the 1880 & 1900 census of Piatt County, IL says Julia's Father was born in Pennsylvania, her mother is listed from Ohio as Julia is also shown from, but the 1900 census shows her Mother from Pennsylvania like her Father (reporting conflict, likely caused by Peter supplying her information one of those times?). I think her most likely Grand-Father (possibly Father?) was Jacob Burget who is listed in the Pennsylvania census in 1800 in Bedford Co.; 1810 in York Co., PA (Washington Twp) p. 196 of the census; and finally in 1820, back in Bedford Co., PA (St.Clair Twp.) P.039 of the census. He is listed in the Ohio 1830 census (but no longer in Pennsylvania 1830 census) in Pickaway Co.Washington Twp. p 033 (also there is a John Burget in the same Twp & on same census page, and there are Henry & Thomas Burgett, Dor. Twp census P.118, also in Pickaway Co.) Then in 1840 (2 years before Julia's birth) there is only 1 Burget or Burgett listed from Pickaway County - that is Jacob (p. 169, Harrison Twp.) By 1850, the Ohio census shows 5 Burget heads of households residing in Pickaway Co, Circleville Twp. Jacob W. & Mary on census page 396, another Mary - p.393, Solomon - p.408, & Washington - p.16. I have as yet not gotten any of the actual census', as all these come from the census index books.

December 1994: I have located Julia A. BURGET in the Ohio 1850 Pickaway County, Harrison Twp. census, Page 047, age 7, living with a William & Jane Duvall ages 34 & 23, resp.; Of further curiosity, within 2 census pages (a few blocks, or less?), there is a 21 year old living as farm helper, named Bartholomew BURGET living with Andrew DUVALL, age 30, and wife Cynthia, age 34 & 3 Duvall children.

I have a copy of Julia'a marriage certificate which seems to imply she had a living Father who authorized the marriage to Peter (since she was 16 y.o. and even then considered a minor), but neither the Parents names nor signatures are on the certificate (I would presume this could have been a step-father or possibly even a brother or brother-in-law posing as the father.)

Unfortunately the Circleville newspaper obituary notice for Sarah (BURGET) DUVALL did not mention anything about her ancestors or descendants, it only contributed the name of her husband, Andrew DUVALL - and two step-sons, Richard Duvall & Victor.

Also of possible interest is the marriage on Aug. 23, 1846 of Wm.R.DUVALL to Jane BURGET - this is most important because these two are shown as the householders that OUR Julia was living with in 1850! (could this be another sister of Julia or possibly was Jane an Aunt? And there is a marriage of James BURGET and Sarah Ann CUTLER on Oct. 11, 1847...possibly Julia's older brother ?..( I doubt James would be a father although his age in 1850 could allow that if it weren't for the statement that Julia was the youngest of 9 children), they are shown with son Enos BURGET on the same 1850 census page 047 as Julia , Jane & Wm.R.(3 doors away). Therefore I suspect that James, Sarah Jane, & Julia were all sibs, and that both parents were likely dead by the time she was 7 years old.(recall she was the youngest of 9 children.) Recall the mention of a widow Burget living with her one son, Daniel & 4 daughters on Darby Creek .... one more sister to find, if that is her family? However if the name Daniel is correct, and there was only one son then obviously that is not the correct family, since we are conjecturing her brother was the James who lived near her. (Could have been James Daniel Burget ?)

In October 2000, A real breakthrough arrived in an Email from another Burget researcher who as yet has not connected to ours, but supplied me with 3 Burget marriages in the time frame of ours and all in Pickaway Co, OH - One of these showed a Jacob Burget marrying Elizabeth FRYATT !! - This is the 3rd reference to a FRIATT sounding name - but the only one that makes me feel confident to connect them to ours.. More evidence is needed to be more comfortable with the presumption. The other source was a Cerro Gordo Centennial booklet that had a short biography of Sarah & Alexander Perkins. In it it referred to her Father, Peter Stuckey marrying Julia FRIATT. Until now, We could never put anything meaningful to that Fryatt name except it was probably an error. There was one other reference to that name in a History or Pickaway Co, OH text saying that a FRIATT man entered land - didn't make a lot of sense, but does now lend more credence to the Friatt name being in early Pickaway Co... presumably that man is likely Elizabeth FRIATT's brother or Father, and Julia Ann's Grandfather or Uncle. By The way - BURGET(T) name whether spelled with one or two "T"s allegedly stems from the European name of BURGHARDT - and furthermore just in Pickaway County, I see it spelled Jacob BURGAT in 1830, Henry BUGET in 1830, etc.

Notes for PETER * LEWIS STUCKEY:

John R. Stuckey, of Bloomington has spoken to Chas. & Ruth Stuckey of Lancaster, OH (Fairfield Co. adjacent to Pickaway Co.) They apparently are descendants of Nick Stuckey, brother of Peter. Unfortunately they knew nothing of Nick's parents or siblings (they have always heard that Nicholas was an orphan when he came to the U.S. & were unaware of the siblings. John R. does have a book entitled Cisco, 100th anniversary 1874-1974 which states Peter moved to Cisco from Ashville, OH with his family, but does not give a date-I'll need to check the census records from the Fairfield & Pickaway County, OH census records for 1850, 1860, 1870 to determine more about the migration of the Stuckeys) Ashville is just a few miles North of Circleville, OH also in Pickaway Co. which is immediately West of Fairfield Co. where Lancaster is located. Peter is shown in the 1880 census but not in the 1870 Piatt co. census. The Cisco book (I have since obtained) also says that Peter was born in Germany, but migrated from Bern, Switzerland at the age of 7 with his parents, a brother (presumably Nicholas) and 2 sisters (one is Sophia STUCKEY SACKRITER, the other Catherine JOHNS.) Patricia Flesher has told me of a Sacriter relative living in Decatur, IL but she was not certain of the connection. I would presume then that Sophia Sackriter must have moved to central IL near the same time as her brother Peter and that Harry Sackriter, Sr. (deceased) and his son Harry JR. are descendants of Sophia and whoever her Sackriter husband was. I have spoken to Harry Sackriter, Jr. who unfortunately knew nothing at all of his ancestors; in fact he did not even know the name of his Grandfather Sacriter! Apparently there are also Perkins who are similar lineage descendants living in nearby Cerro Gordo, IL., & Milford, IL; John R.Stuckey has spoken with the Perkins there and plans on meeting with them soon. (Dec 1992); The book HISTORY OF PIATT COUNTY 1883 shows that a Sophia Stuckey married Harry Sackriter in 1857. It also states that Harry moved to Goose Creek Twp, Piatt Co. in 1864 & moved to Monticello in 1876, but no details about Sophia. I visited the Croninger Cemetary May 7, 1993 and found it with the help of Patricia Flesher. It is on the West side of 100E road about 3 miles due south of Cisco, Their graves are near the center of the Cemetary. Apparently George Rocky must have moved to Monticello after he left his family in Cisco. In November 1993 I discovered a reference to Sarah Perkins & Mother Julia Burget on a Mormon CD-ROM in the McClean Co., IL historical society library. This reference was written by a Mr. Richard A. Perkins of 288 Westmoor Ave.,Newark OH 43055. He gives Julia Burget's BD as 1837 instead of 1842, & Peter's as 1833 but it surely must be the same ones. On April 29, 1994, I mailed a letter to Mr. Perkins requesting any further info he might have, and his references for the CD-ROM material he contributed. Further research show this Richard Alex PERKINS is the Grandson or Great-Grandson of Sarah Jane (STUCKEY) PERKINS, which was George Rocky's Sister, but I have received no word from Richard A. Perkins, so I assume he has moved or died, the CD-ROM oddly enough did not list his birthdate....I believe his siblings or children, etc. live in Milford & am trying to contact them. The census' contradict the earlier dates, so I think their birthdates are correct as listed 1836 & 1842. Interestingly on both the Piatt county 1900 & 1910 census Peter's widowed sister Catherine JOHNS is shown living with Peter.

Nov 1994 - I've just visited the Monticello Public Library; Numerous sources there, including books on the history of Pickaway Co, OH - since it seems there was a migration of many people from there to Piatt Co. IL for some reason? History of Franklin & Pickaway Co.(Walnut Twp.) on Page 280 list an Aaron Stuckey building a saw-mill at East Ringgold. Peter's Obituary in the Jan 15, 1920 Piatt Co. Republican newspaper doesn't help much. It does show that he died in Kenosha Wisconsin where he had been living with his daughter Mrs. Loton Williams, apparently since 1918 when his sister Catherine Johns died. The body was shipped back to Cisco where he was buried at the Croninger Cemetary with wife Julia. Incidentally Julia's obituary states she & Peter left Ohio to come to Piatt County in 1864. Peter's death cert. says he was born in Germany (as does the Piatt Co. Census) and that he came to the U.S. as a boy, but doesn't say anything about his ancestors. One surprise is that it repeatedly shows his middle initial as C. (I suspect an error, since I'm certain his middle name was Lewis). The 1850 Ohio census shows a Peter Stuckey living in Fulton Co., German Twp.(page 362B) age 42, AND it shows another Peter Stuckey living with him age 14. That would actually be the right age for our Peter AND Our Peter's death certficate shows his Father as PETER Stuckey, and although the elder Peter in Fulton Co. 1850 was apparently married to a Catherine age 39 (Peter's death cert. showed Mother was Catherine BARTH), nevertheless the sibs of this younger Peter are not similar to the known siblings of our Peter (Ann 19, Joseph 6, Christian 3, Barbara 2, & Mary 1.) One would wonder if this family was not an Uncle Peter that our Peter was living with. I did locate Nicholas (age 19) in the 1860 census living in Farfield Co., (Lancaster) Bloom Twp. Roll 960. He was then shown rooming with another young male, George Starling, age 18, both listed as Farm Laborers. Oddly I cannot find Peter anyplace in 1860, Yet I had information that Peter did not migrate to Illinois until 1864. I should check an 1860 census for Indiana?

Peter & Julia's Marriage license shows married in 1858 in Ohio.

March, 1995: I've finally received the death certificate of Peter Lewis Stuckey. Surprisingly it gives a different (than sister Catherine JOHN lists as her Father: Jacob) 1st name for his Father: says same as his own name: Peter Stuckey, birthplace for both Peter's and his Mother (all 3) as Germany, but no city or area listed. If in fact his Father was Peter then the two Peters listed in Fulton County with the right age for Peter Jr. would fit perfectly but his sibs do not fit at all so will need to track down more to determine if in fact that is ours.

The death certificate lists Peter as a farmer and died of "old age (senility), contributory: pneumonia". Place of death shown as Somers Twp., Kenosha County, WI. I have 2 obituaries for Catherine Johns, one says she was born in Essex, Germany and one says Alsace, France!....Now there is an ESSEN, Germany near the juncture of the Rhur & Rhine rivers just NorthEast of Dusseldorf, but it is also likely that the Essex was actually intended to be Alsace since they are phonetically similar.

I have gotten a book on interlibrary loan from Quincy IL library titled 30,000 names of immigrants (to Philadelphia), by Prof. I. Daniel Rupp. this is the same book that shows my ancestor Jacob Persinger, who also apparently came over from the Palatine area of Germany-Switzerland. This book shows several possible ancestors of Peter: Pg 213, but this book has no immigrations later than 1774, so I doubt these are close relatives of our Peter.

Best known chronology:

1836: Born near France-German-Swiss borders (most likely Germany).

1843: Came to USA, age 7 allegedly with Parents, 1 Brother & 2 Sisters.

1858: Married Julia Ann BURGET in Pickaway County, OH.

1861: 2nd child George Rocky STUCKEY is born

1864: Moved from Ohio to IL, may not have come to Cisco til 1876 ?

1903: Wife Julia Dies, Julia's Sister, Sarah (DUVALL) living with them.

1904: Sarah DUVALL dies in Cisco, Kathryn JOHNS comes to stay with Peter

1910: Peter & HIS sister Kathryn JOHNS living together in Cisco (census)

1918: Kathryn JOHNS dies @ Cisco, body sent to Ohio for burial

1920: Peter dies at the home of his daughter Mrs. Loton Williams in WI.

Here is the confusing 1850 census of Fulton County, OH - Pg. 362B - that I think is just coincidental but worth noting. The similarity is so close - age of this Peter Jr. is exactly that of ours - Mother and Father's names exactly as our Peter's children put on his Death Certificate. But none of these other children fit those we believe are those of our Peter. Of course it still may be our Peter and his parents - since we can't locate Peter in 1850 anyplace else -and since it clearly seems that Peter came to the U.S. in 1843 - and without his older sister, Catherine - who alleges in census she came to the U.S. in 1835 - we have therefore assumed it likely the children are broken up to other places since his older sister was - it may be that our Peter's real parents died before 1850 & he was taken in by an Uncle & Aunt - and maybe that is who these are and the other children are mistakenly put in as his sibs instead of cousins. That also would explain why some of the others put down Jacob as a father, but Peter put down Peter as a father. Of course, this is all pure speculation w/o more evidence. One task to pursue would be to try to find these apparent siblings' descendants. - There are several so it shouldn't be that difficult.

7. JAMES F.⁴ BURGET (ELIZABETH *³ FRYATT, BARTHOLOMEW², BARTHOLOMEW¹) was born 1821 in OH- he is not definitely proven to be Julia Ann's Brother, and died Aft. 1880 in after 1880-was living 2 houses from Julia & Jane in 1850. He married SARAH ANN CUTLER October 11, 1847 in Pickaway Co, OH, daughter of ENOS CUTLER. She was born 1825 in OH, and died Aft. 1880.

Notes for JAMES F. BURGET:

as of Nov. 2000, I cannot be certain this is Julia's brother. He is living 2 doors from she and Peter on the 1860 census, he then is 39 and from Ohio. He would fit as the first child of Jacob & Eliza FRYATTs who were married in 1820. The best argument AGAINST their being siblings - at least from the same fathers is that Julia reports Her father born in Pennsylvania on both the 1880 & 1900 census - wheras James on the 1880 census reports his father being from Virginia. This would make it more likely that his father is Henry as we know he came from Virginia in 1811 acc. to his bio. I cannot find anything that tells where Joshua BURGET and his 3 sons were from - only that they came to the Ohio area in 1804.

Notes for GEORGE * ROCKY STUCKEY:

3 locations of Birthplace for George Rocky: Robert Stuckey of Bloomington, IL says in Lancaster, OH (which is in Fairfield Co), Julia (Stuckey) Calhoun writes in her family record book that he was born in Pennsylvania (her exact writing is "Penna."). Yet another source which I obtained initially but for some reason have not recorded the source is in Pickaway County, OH, which is the county immediately West of Fairfield Co. (Lancaster, OH). This needs to be pinned down in order to study the Stuckey line further! I wonder if the Lancaster may have actually been Lancaster, PA? Another possible date of birth is Sept 2 instead of 20th.

It should be noted that there is a very nice photo on Page 207 of Glenna Mosgrove's book from Musgrave to Mosgrove, on which I believe she has erroneously labled the people of. She says the little girl sitting is Emma Mosgrove & claims the adults are Emma's parents, but I believe that the little girl sitting instead is Emma's child Julia Ann Stuckey and the adult parents are George Rocky Stuckey & Emma Mosgrove Stuckey.

Notes for JULIA * ANN STUCKEY:

I remember Julia, my Wife Ann Skinner's Maternal Grandmother very well, as we had been married 10 years when Julia died at age 94. Her 2nd husband Ben had died just 15 months before she died. I knew Ben well, but I never met her 1st husband, Richard Calhoun, as my wife Ann was only

14 when her maternal GrandFather died of Leukemia. Julia was a very intelligent, consientious & sweet old lady. She had a very good sense of humor, played piano and loved to laugh. In her last few years as her 2nd husband was weakening from Metastatic prostate cancer, she became despondent and remained depressed in my opinion for the rest of her life. - MAG

Notes for RICHARD * BUTLER CALHOUN:

Dick worked as an advertising manager for the Bloomington Pantagraph & the Decatur Herald and later the superintendent of the service dept. of the Decatur Review (his daughter Patricia does not believe the latter...about the Review to be true). In 1919 he owned the Calhoun Music Shop. In 1937 he became the the head of the farm replacement for the Illinois State Employment Service of the Illinois Dept. of Labor. He continued this work until his death June 19, 1963.

His hobby was carving and fashioning miniature furniture. He married Julia Ann Stuckey in 1913. She was always a lovely homemaker, wife and mother. She gave her loveable attractive self to her family...their two daughters Suzanne & Patricia. Ann also did church work and Red Cross work. See Notes on her also.
