"Notes for STEPHEN A. LOWDERMILK:

Stephen died in Clay County, IN near Ashboro; the town that he and son William named. Stephen brought his family to the Midwest because he had a falling out with his father over slavery. He thought [the slaves] should be freed. So with his entire family, his brothers Elliott and Jacob he started west. Stopping in Indiana, his brother Jacob ended up in Missouri and Elliott found his way to Arkansas. William was age 15 when they started to Ind. They also, named Mt. Olive Church after their home church in North Carolina.

Stephen A. Lowdermilk first settled on the Eel River, but shortly afterwards moved to Jackson township, Section 29 and built a cabin. Stephen later went on foot to Vincennes, IN to enter his first 40 acres of land from the Government,
adding more later, making a total of 150 acres.

It was at this time he met and married his second wife, Mrs. Sarah Bolin (ca 1838). He was an active Methodist, his cabin
having been used for the first Church services. For 23 years, he was Justice of the Peace, without having a single judgement reversed. He was importantly connected with the organization of the county and township. His eldest son by
Sarah, Calvin, was reared on this farm. Stephen was a life-long supporter of Republican principles. He was a very prominent man in public affairs. As Justice of Peace serving satisfactory for thirty years, during which time his decisions were never appealed or questioned.

"Harrodsburg, the county seat of Mercer County, was founded in 1774 by a stalwart band of pioneers led by James Harrod, of Pennsylvania. It was the only "colonial" city and the first permanent English settlement west of the Allegheny mountains. . . .

Harrodsburg was first the county seat of Fincastle County, Virginia, then Kentucky County Virginia. When Kentucky County was divided into the counties of Fayette, Jefferson and Lincoln, Harrodsburg was the county seat of Lincoln County, which at that time covered over a third of the soon to be state.

In 1785 Mercer County was taken from Lincoln and Harrodsburg has remained the county seat of Mercer County. The Kentucky territory became a state in 1792."

"The year 1785 was an eventful one in the history of Harrodsburg for it was considered to petition the Legislature for an Act establishing the town. This petition was duly prepared and was in the following terms: . . .

For which your petitioners are bound in duty to pray, . . .

"1. Johannes Wilhelm (William) HERMAN1,2 was born about 1736 in Germany.3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 He signed a will on 22 January 1813 in Lincoln County, North Carolina. He died on 29 June 1813 at the age of 77 in Lincoln (Catawba County), North Carolina.5,8,10,11 Johannes was buried in Old St. Paul's Church Cemetery, Newton, Catawba County, NC.11 Inscription reads: Aged 77 years John William Herman, whose German name was Johannes Wilhelm Herrmann, was born in 1736 in Germany. He married Catherine Motz (Motes) and to them was born a son, George. In mid-year 1766 William and his family boarded the ship Polly, Robert Porter, Master of ship, at Rotterdam to sail to the new land of America. Upon arriving in the American port of Philadelphia, William signed his name as Johann Wm. Herman and swore the Oath of Allegiance on 18 October 1766. It was written that William was "from Rotterdam, but last from Cowles. Later, William and his family settled in Berks County, near Reading, Pennsylvania. Here William owned land in Long Swamp, Ruscombe Manor and Heresford Townships (Series II Pa. Archives Vol. XVlII). The last tax listing for William Herman was in 1785, in which were listed 100 acres of land, three horses, two cows, and eight family members.

Miss Estelle Herman, a great, great granddaughter of William, pioneer, remembered hearing about two Herman brothers who came from Pennsylvania to North Carolina on horseback to look the country over. On their trip, when they camped for the night, they tied their horses so they could graze while they slept. North Carolina appealed to them so much that they decided to move their families here. Some Herman notes written by Polly Killian in 1876 said: "Came to North Carolina in 1779. Moved to North Carolina in 1786. Settled on Lyles creek and entered land which has been handed down from father to son till the present time. George Herman, second son of Wilhelm, came to North Carolina in 1781."

Wilhelm Herman died 29 June 1813 at the age of 77 years and was buried in the cemetery of St. Paul's Lutheran Church near Newton. His wife, Catherine, died in March 1811 at the age of 77 years and is also buried in the same cemetery.. Wilhelm (William) and Catharine Herman and their children, William Jr., George, Peter, Michael, Catharine, and Mary became active and useful citizens of their chosen communities. They were members of, and often officers in the German Reformed churches of St. Paul's and St, John's near Newton and Conover respectively.

Johannes Wilhelm (William) HERMAN and Maria Catherine MOTZ were married in 1760 in Germany.3,4,7Maria Catherine MOTZ2 was born in 1734 in Hesse Cassel, Germany.5,8,9,10,12,13She died on 14 March 1811 at the age of 77 in Lincoln (Catawba County), North Carolina.13 She was buried in Old St. Paul's Church Cemetery, Newton, Catawba County, NC.14 Inscription reads: Aged 77 years"

It does not appear that any member of the William Davenport, b. 1800 North Carolina, family was related to Benjamin F. Davenport, b. Abt. 1815 England, since none of the children of Benjamin and Margaret (Abel) Davenport were placed, upon Margaret's death, with members of William Davenport's extended family. This fact also seems to confirm that Benjamin F. Davenport's sole relatives in Indiana were members of his wife's family, the Abel clan.

LDS FamilySearch, submission by Dorothy B. Wear, 20 Dec 2007:

"According to all records I could locate on Hettie Davenport, she was born after the death of Reuben M. Harlan, and before the marriage of Cynthia to Abel Davenport. She is listed as Hettie Davenport, therefore she must have been adopted by Mr. Davenport. In the Civil War file for Abel Davenport, he stated he had no children and was not married prior to Cynthia Harlan and his marriage. This gives credence that Hettie is not the child of David Abel Davenport. Hettie married J. S. Harlan, son of William R. Harlan and Sarah Norman. . . . J. S. and Hettie had a son Joe Harlan, who married an Agnes (?). I met this couple when I was very little when they came to Los Angeles,California to visit Joe's half-cousin and my grandfather, Reuben Lee Harlan. My grandparents and my father, Lee Harlan told me they were cousins. It took me several years to connect the "cousin" relationship. The book, 'History and Genealogy of the Harlan Family,' written in 1914 by Alpheus H. Harlan, on page 612, number, 2729, lists the genealogy for Reuben M. Harlan and shows only the first wife and his children. However, Hettie Davenport is listed as the wife of J. E. Harlan. No further information was given by Alpheus Harlan on this family. By doing the censuses for the Reuben M. and Cynthia (Darnell) Harlan family, I have compiled the names of their children, and again, Hettie is not listed until the 1870 census for Louisville, KY."

Mary Ellen (Galer) Fountain had a second marriage to, E. C. Wilson who was born Dec. 12, 1847.
They lived in Goshen, Indiana, where E. C. Wilson was a well known owner of a music store. After the famous Chicago fire started by Mrs. O' Leary's cow, E. C. Wilson put together a wagon train filled with pianos which he led into Chicago, where he sold them to replace the numerous pianos burned up in the fire. He was also known for the fact that he purchased the first complete set of brass band instruments manufactured by the Conn musicao instrument company of Elkhart. Indiana. Mary Ellen's daughter, Winifred Fountain, took on the name of Winifred Wilson. She always spoke with love and respect of her stepfather.

Much information about Addie Davenport and Robert Thomas family appears in the application file for Robert Thomas's Civil War Pension, which Addie continued to draw after Robert's death.

These folks did not keep written records before 1865, so the application file contains many sworn statements of relatives regarding their recollection of births, marriages, deaths, and other events.

One of the most interesting of these statements relates to the death and burial of Sadie Wilkins ID 1462254, first wife of Robert Thomas. A relative swore that he was present when the deceased was buried--twice. He stated that grave robbers dug up her grave by mistake, and left the coffin above ground. He helped bury Sadie a second time, so he had first-hand knowledge of her death.

Polly Tomlinson, e-mail 24 Oct 2010:

"My research shows that she was born 7 December, 1873 in Winchester, Frederick, VA. She married William Sahm Tomlinson ca. 20 June, 1899, probably in or near Altoona, PA. She and William were involved in a group that started a Lutheran Church in Altoona, Blair Co., PA. After they married, he became a pastor and served in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky before he stopped being a pastor, after only 7 years. During that time he lost three sons. They moved to Florida where he was killed while working on a construction job."

Received from Jim Danielsen of Stoughton, WI:

"'Theodore M. Krumsieg [and] Catherine Louise Brandhorst'

Theodore Martin Christian Krumsieg was born on July 20, 1862 in St. Louis, Missouri. His parents were Rev. Theodore G. A. Krumsieg and Helene Grahn. He was christened on July 27, 1862 in Holy Cross Lutheran Church in St. Louis.

For an unknown reason, the census records of 1870 and 1880 indicate he was born in Wisconsin. But the 1900 and 1910 census records indicate he was born in Missouri.

His father graduated from the Concordia Seminary-Springfield, which was in St. Louis, Missouri during the Civil War, and was ordained in Fall Creek, Eau Claire County, Wisconsin on September 28, 1862. [This fact accounts for the assumption that Theodore was born in Eau Claire, WI rather than St. Louis, MO.]

As a child he moved with his family from parish to parish in Wisconsin and Minnesota. In 1881 at the age of 19 he moved to St. Paul, Minnesota and became a carpenter. He boarded at 440 (116) Rosebel. He married Catherine Marie Louisa Brandhorst in the winter of 1882/1883 and moved in with his in-laws. It appears as though he was taking an apprenticeship under his future father-in-law.

Catherine Marie Lousia Brandhorst was born on April 12, 1863 in St. Paul, Minnesota. She was the daughter of John Henry Brandhorst and Mary Ann Overmann. Her father was a successful carpenter who became a partner in a woodworking company. Her picture looks as though she was a pretty child with blond or light hair.

In 1884 they moved out of her parent?s home. Theodore became a part owner in a meat market and a cigar manufacturing company. On April 4, 1885 they had their first child, Helen Anna Krumsieg. This child was short lived and died a month later on May 4th. They lived in St. Paul until about 1886.

In about 1887 they moved to Duluth, Minnesota. Theodore worked as a bookkeeper and became an alderman. Their second child, Walter Theodore, was born on February 25, 1888. Alma Clara was born 10 months later on December 29, 1889. Adeline Louise Emilie was born 5 years later on March 7, 1895, and their last child, Arthur Victor, was born on May 18, 1898.

Louise died in Duluth on February 8, 1901 of uteri cancer at the age of 37. Elsie Brandhorst said her death was a very harsh one. A nurse attended her at home. The nurse finally quit and said she could no longer watch such suffering. Anna Brandhorst, Louise's sister, went to Duluth to care for her. Louise was buried in the Brandhorst family plot in the Oakwood Cemetery in St. Paul.

The 1900 census lists Anna Brandhorst as living with them. Apparently Louise had been sick for some time. All the members of the household could read, write and speak English, except for the small children. The house was owned without a mortgage.

Theodore married a woman named Emilie Aurelia Anna Augusta Adler of Red Wing, Minnesota on May 21, 1902. They were married at Trinity Lutheran Church, Rochester, Olmsted County, Minnesota. It is not known how they met as he lived in Duluth, and she was from near Red Wing in Olmstead County.

Emilie became the stepmother of the four children. Theodore and Emilie had a child named Clara on January 14, 1904. This child was short lived and died 3 days later. Later that year the entire family moved to Milwaukee, and Theodore became the Secretary/Treasurer of the Quinn Book and Stationery Company. He also became an alderman for the City of Milwaukee.

The 1910 census shows they were living in a rented flat on North 5th Street. All the members of the household could read, write and speak English. Theodore was a bookkeeper for a liquor company. The two older children were working and living at home. The family members probably spoke German around the home.

Adeline (Krumsieg) Danielsen often talked about being able to speak German, although her primary language was English when I knew her. She talked about the days when she was young and attended Lutheran grade school and Trinity Lutheran Church (Milwaukee). They were taught in German and church services were conducted in German.

Just prior to World War I, the State of Wisconsin passed the Bennett Law, which required English to be spoken in all schools, public or parochial. It was a shock to some of the older German-Americans Lutherans when English became the primary language in church services.

Emilie Adler died in 1913. Theodore married for the third time to Anna Stolper Haenal. I believe she was the widow of a Lutheran minister. Lois Danielsen talked about Anna with fond memories. Anna had enough money from her previous marriage to support herself and live independently. She could be called a liberated woman before her time. She was independent in a pleasant sense and self reliant. She owned an electric car and was able to drive; this was in a time when women didn't do those things. They would go for rides around Milwaukee in the car and have fun, just do girl things.

I remember meeting Anna Stolper Haenal Krumsieg as a very small child. At Christmas, Theodore's children and their children would meet at her home on north 2nd Street for a large Christmas dinner. I knew her by the name of 'Oma' and always believed that was her name. It wasn't until I was in my fifties that I learned that her name was Anna and 'Oma' was German for grandmother. As a small child I remember her as a short woman (noticeably shorter than my mother, who was about five feet four inches), who always wore a long ankle length black fancy dress at Christmas. My mother told me that all older women dressed that way, because that was the way women in the olden days dressed.

Theodore died on June 30, 1922 of pyemia abscess of the kidneys and lungs at St. Mary's Hospital in Milwaukee. His family said he had a burst appendix. He was buried in the Brandhorst family plot in St. Paul, Minnesota.

There is an eerie footnote to his death. He was the third person to be elected to the Treasurership of Concordia College-Milwaukee and to die in that office that year.

"'Theodore M. Krumsieg [and] Catherine Louise Brandhorst'

Theodore Martin Christian Krumsieg was born on July 20, 1862 in St. Louis, Missouri. His parents were Rev. Theodore G. A. Krumsieg and Helene Grahn. He was christened on July 27, 1862 in Holy Cross Lutheran Church in St. Louis.

For an unknown reason, the census records of 1870 and 1880 indicate he was born in Wisconsin. But the 1900 and 1910 census records indicate he was born in Missouri.

His father graduated from the Concordia Seminary-Springfield, which was in St. Louis, Missouri during the Civil War, and was ordained in Fall Creek, Eau Claire County, Wisconsin on September 28, 1862. [This fact accounts for the assumption that Theodore was born in Eau Claire, WI rather than St. Louis, MO.]

As a child he moved with his family from parish to parish in Wisconsin and Minnesota. In 1881 at the age of 19 he moved to St. Paul, Minnesota and became a carpenter. He boarded at 440 (116) Rosebel. He married Catherine Marie Louisa Brandhorst in the winter of 1882/1883 and moved in with his in-laws. It appears as though he was taking an apprenticeship under his future father-in-law.

Catherine Marie Lousia Brandhorst was born on April 12, 1863 in St. Paul, Minnesota. She was the daughter of John Henry Brandhorst and Mary Ann Overmann. Her father was a successful carpenter who became a partner in a woodworking company. Her picture looks as though she was a pretty child with blond or light hair.

In 1884 they moved out of her parent?s home. Theodore became a part owner in a meat market and a cigar manufacturing company. On April 4, 1885 they had their first child, Helen Anna Krumsieg. This child was short lived and died a month later on May 4th. They lived in St. Paul until about 1886.

In about 1887 they moved to Duluth, Minnesota. Theodore worked as a bookkeeper and became an alderman. Their second child, Walter Theodore, was born on February 25, 1888. Alma Clara was born 10 months later on December 29, 1889. Adeline Louise Emilie was born 5 years later on March 7, 1895, and their last child, Arthur Victor, was born on May 18, 1898.

Louise died in Duluth on February 8, 1901 of uteri cancer at the age of 37. Elsie Brandhorst said her death was a very harsh one. A nurse attended her at home. The nurse finally quit and said she could no longer watch such suffering. Anna Brandhorst, Louise's sister, went to Duluth to care for her. Louise was buried in the Brandhorst family plot in the Oakwood Cemetery in St. Paul.

The 1900 census lists Anna Brandhorst as living with them. Apparently Louise had been sick for some time. All the members of the household could read, write and speak English, except for the small children. The house was owned without a mortgage.

Theodore married a woman named Emilie Aurelia Anna Augusta Adler of Red Wing, Minnesota on May 21, 1902. They were married at Trinity Lutheran Church, Rochester, Olmsted County, Minnesota. It is not known how they met as he lived in Duluth, and she was from near Red Wing in Olmstead County.

Emilie became the stepmother of the four children. Theodore and Emilie had a child named Clara on January 14, 1904. This child was short lived and died 3 days later. Later that year the entire family moved to Milwaukee, and Theodore became the Secretary/Treasurer of the Quinn Book and Stationery Company. He also became an alderman for the City of Milwaukee.

The 1910 census shows they were living in a rented flat on North 5th Street. All the members of the household could read, write and speak English. Theodore was a bookkeeper for a liquor company. The two older children were working and living at home. The family members probably spoke German around the home.

Adeline (Krumsieg) Danielsen often talked about being able to speak German, although her primary language was English when I knew her. She talked about the days when she was young and attended Lutheran grade school and Trinity Lutheran Church (Milwaukee). They were taught in German and church services were conducted in German.

Just prior to World War I, the State of Wisconsin passed the Bennett Law, which required English to be spoken in all schools, public or parochial. It was a shock to some of the older German-Americans Lutherans when English became the primary language in church services.

Emilie Adler died in 1913. Theodore married for the third time to Anna Stolper Haenal. I believe she was the widow of a Lutheran minister. Lois Danielsen talked about Anna with fond memories. Anna had enough money from her previous marriage to support herself and live independently. She could be called a liberated woman before her time. She was independent in a pleasant sense and self reliant. She owned an electric car and was able to drive; this was in a time when women didn't do those things. They would go for rides around Milwaukee in the car and have fun, just do girl things.

I remember meeting Anna Stolper Haenal Krumsieg as a very small child. At Christmas, Theodore's children and their children would meet at her home on north 2nd Street for a large Christmas dinner. I knew her by the name of 'Oma' and always believed that was her name. It wasn't until I was in my fifties that I learned that her name was Anna and 'Oma' was German for grandmother. As a small child I remember her as a short woman (noticeably shorter than my mother, who was about five feet four inches), who always wore a long ankle length black fancy dress at Christmas. My mother told me that all older women dressed that way, because that was the way women in the olden days dressed.

Theodore died on June 30, 1922 of pyemia abscess of the kidneys and lungs at St. Mary's Hospital in Milwaukee. His family said he had a burst appendix. He was buried in the Brandhorst family plot in St. Paul, Minnesota.

There is an eerie footnote to his death. He was the third person to be elected to the Treasurership of Concordia College-Milwaukee and to die in that office that year.
