Genealogy of the Parthemore Family, 1744-1885 Parthemore Qenealogy. THE LIBRARY BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY PflOVO, UTAH Circulote / GENEALOGY Parthemore Family. 1744-1S55. By E. W. S. parthemore. HARRIS BURG, PA : LANE B. HART, PRINTER AND BINDER. 1885. THE LIBRARY BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY PROVO, UTAH PREFATORY. N early bo_yhood days, tlie writer became im- pressed with a sti'ong desire to know who the ancestors of the Parthemore Famil}^ were, where they first settled in America, and from what country they came. In conversation with relatives and old citizens, nothing could be obtained beyond the tiiird generation, which embraced oiir gi-andfather, his brothei-s and sisters, and very little of tlicm was preserved, either by tradition or in writing. Tn the spring of 1883, we determined to see how much of our family history could be restored. How difficult this task was can well be imagined when it is considered that up to that time no one could give our great-grandfather's christian name, or tell when he died, or where buried. From this it will ap- pear, and truthfully so, that no one made an effort to pre- serve the genealogy of the family in America. We, how- ever, set ourselves to the task, not thinking at the time that research would be so extensive and complete as it is pre- sented in this volume; and whatever we have accomplished has been done from a desire to know who the members of the family are, and with a considerable amount of pride iv THE PARTHEMORE FAMILY. which we take in oar name. The one great difficulty ex- perienced in gathering and preparing the facts as they are here given was to obtain replies to letters directed to per- sons after we have tUeir address. At least one half of the letters written to the different members of the family were never answered. We make some allowance for this seem- ing negligence, but could never understand wdiv it should have been so general, and this was naturally a great disap- pointment to the writer in many instances. This explains svhy the sketches of some families are incomplete, because of our inal)ility to enlist the services of those who should have been interested, and who, with little trouble, could have furnished us with complete data. In a few instances this was impossible, as the families had died out and left no record Ijehind. As l)efore stated, the author liad little knowledge of the faniilv and its connections outside of the Parthemores who lived in and about Highspire and Middletown, Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, and even some of these, who are descendants fi'om my father s cousins, and have changed the name by marriage, were not known. jSfany of the Par- themores, with their descendants, live in Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, and Union county, Ohio. How to get a clue to the history of those living in Ohio was perplexing until a second cousin. Miss Hattie Parthemore, became interestetl and gave us much valuable information. To her w^e are especially indebted for many of the records, and she never seemed to weary of the labor it required. We feel justified in saying that but for her zeal and energy ; PREFATORY. V we would not have been enabled to give so full and com- plete a record of the familjMu that portion of the country. To gather all the facts and make the correct family con- nections, and arrange them in accurate and convenient chronological order, was a laborious task ; the latter, we confess, we were not equal to, and had it not been for the courteous, and competent, and widely-known historian of Pennsylvania, William H. Egle, M. D,, M. A., Har- risburg, Pa., we would have given up the effort or hope of ever seeing this book in print. But he was always ready with his information and assistance whenever sought, and which we often felt was too frequent on our part though he is a stranger to you all, yet he deserves the thanks and praise of the friends and relatives for his ap- preciative favoi's. To give an account of the difficulties and disappointments with which we met, ontsidc of the one just mentioned above, in completing this work, would, in itself, furnish a very interesting and readable chapter. We are, nevertheless, under obligations to many of the freundschaft for facts fui'iiished, and proper acknowledg- ment is made in the several biographical sketches. If any of the names or dates in this volume are incor- rect, it is because they were incorrectly furnished to us. We exercised the greatest care in collecting the facts, and still greater in putting them into order, free from error, as far as possible. For these errata those interested the most are to blame. Had they realized the importance of the work, we feel confident they would have bestowed more VI THE PAETHEMORE FAMILY. time and care in furnish iiig us with further data of value to them and otliers of the Family. As this book gives a complete record of the family, with but few unimportant exceptions, datijig from the uative })lace of our progenitor, who found a uew home in this " hmd of the free and home of the brave," and coming <lo\vn to the present generation, wc trust tlie record may be continued from time to time by every one who receives a copy of this volume. A¥e regard the work strictly a genealogical record of the Parthemore family. It is intended only for our own nse, and although some may be compelled to go back two, tlu-ee, and, in some cases, four generati(jris l»efore the}^ will discover the name Parthemore in llieir ancestor, we claim them as members of our family, and trust that to them the l)ook will be equally interesting. After many months of anxiety and labor, traveling inaii}^ miles in cars, private conveyance, and on foot, delving among old church records and public documents, wander- ing into old grave-yards, througli briars and weeds, this biographical and genealogical history is the result. Often have we wished that it might liave fallen to the lot of some abler writer to perform the work. But such as it is we give it to the family. Our labor has been conscientiously performed. To love God is a great privilege, and unlold beneiits will accrue to him who bestows his love upon Him in sin- cerity. To love and obc}' our ancestors is a command PREFATORY. Vll which none but the most cruel and hard-hearted will dis- obey. The former privileges you no doubt enjoy, and if, by reading these pages, you will be induced to do the latter, then the object of our work will be realized in a very full measure. E. WiNFiELD Scott Parthemore. Harrisburg, Penn'a, July ], 1885. It will be noticed in this Genealogy that the surname Parthemore is not spelled alike. This is not unusual for any surname, and especially among the Germans. As to the origin of the name Parthemore we have no. opinion or knowledge. The majority of the descendants of John Frederick Parthemore write it as we have done in the title page of the record, especially those who speak but little German, or none at all. In our possession, the old documents given in tlie Part First, which is tlie best evidence, in the original orthogra- phy, or German, it is written Parthemer, but from the pen of some of our best English-German scholars they give the translation Parthemore ; as, for instance, in the Ger- man, in making a request for more, you say "geven sie mir mehr," while in the English it would be "give me ; more " hence the necessity, in English, to write the last syllable "more" and not "mer." It is not only true in our surname, but in many other names is it written in the VIU THE PARTHEMORE FAMILY. German by Euglisli people, and among those who have married into our family have the following : the German spelling in brackets, Shell [Schell], Fisher [Fischer], Bej- erly [Bierly], Alleman [AUimouJ, Winagle [Wentnagle], Hypsher [Hypscher], Shoop [Schoop], Richerd [Reig- hard]. It would, of course, be gi'atifying if all who bear this name wouhl conform to the correct way, but this is hardly possible. In our 3'outh we were taught to write the name "Pathmore," but on seeing a three-bushel grain bag of Grandfather George Parthemore, with his name on it, we ever wrote it thus, though little thinking that we were cor- rect, as it has been verified Ijy the original papers pre- viously' alluded to. Editor. ParthExMORE Family. John Frederick Parthemore was the son of John Henry Parthemore, the date of whose birth we hiave been unable to ascertain ; he emigrated to America in 1744, landing at Philadelphia, October 20, fi"om the ship Phoenix, William Wilson, captain, from Eotterdam, last from Cowes. He resided, prior to his emigrating, at Sprendlingen, in the province of Rhein-Hesseu, Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darm- stadt, southern G-erman3^ The town has now about 2,000 inhabitants, and lies about fifteen miles due south of Frank- fort-on-the-Main. He was not an exile from his native country, as the following State paper will show, the orig- inal of which, in German, is in our possession : "Card of Dismissal. " We, Ludwig George, by the grace of God, Margrave of Baden and Hochberg, Landgrave of Staufenberg, Count of Sponheim and Eberstein, Herr of Roetteln, Baadenweisler, Lahr, Mahlberg, of the bailiwick Orttenau and Kehl, Knight of the Golden Fleece, &c.

  • A Past So Fraught with Sorrow Bert H
    A Past So Fraught With Sorrow Bert H. Barnett, Gettysburg NMP On May 23 and 24, 1865, the victorious Union armies gathered for one massive, final “Grand Review” in Washington, D.C. Among the multitude of patriotic streamers and buntings bedecking the parade route was one, much noticed, hanging from the Capitol. It proclaimed, perhaps with an unintended irony, “The only national debt we can never pay is the debt we owe the victorious Union soldiers.” One sharp-eyed veteran, a participant in almost all the war’s eastern campaigns, observed, “I could not help wondering, whether, having made up their minds that they can never pay the debt, they will not think it useless to try” [emphasis in original].1 The sacrifices demanded of the nation to arrive at that point had been terrific—more than 622,000 men dead from various causes. To acknowledge these numbers simply as a block figure, however, is to miss an important portion of the story. Each single loss represented an individual tragedy of the highest order for thousands of families across the country, North and South. To have been one of the “merely wounded” was often to suffer a fate perhaps only debatably better than that of a deceased comrade. Many of these battle casualties were condemned to years of physical agony and mental duress. The side effects that plagued these men often also tore through their post-war lives and families as destructively as any physical projectile, altering relationships with loved ones and reducing the chances for a fuller integration into a post-war world.

  • John White Geary: “Giant of His Times”
    JOHN WHITE GEARY: “GIANT OF HIS TIMES” Anthony Waskie, Ph.D. Early Life Few men have ever had such an impact on the history of their times, nor contributed more to the development of their nation and state, and, was thrust into more critical and pivotal roles at the very flash point of action, nor have more often influenced the course of historic events than John White Geary in the Mid-19th Century. Geary was born in Mount Pleasant, Westmoreland County in Pennsylvania on December 30th, 1819. He was descended from the sturdy Scotch- Irish pioneers, who had scratched out farms from the vast wilderness.1 His father, Richard Geary was well educated and refined for his day. He had failed at the iron business and opened a school, teaching for the remainder of his life.2 Geary’s mother, Margaret White hailed from Washington County in Western Maryland. Geary grew to be a giant in stature, reaching 6’6’’ tall, and weighed over 250 pounds. in his adulthood. He had a sturdy and athletic physique, a long dark beard in keeping with the style of the day, dark piercing eyes, and a dark complexion, all which gave Geary a most commanding presence.3 Geary's father educated his two surviving sons at home and sought to instill in them his love of learning, but also his intense ambitious quest for success. Geary's older brother, Edward became a noted and influential Presbyterian minister, and an early figure in the history of the Oregon Territory, which he pioneered. John White Geary, after a solid preparation at his father's school entered Jefferson (now Washington & Jefferson) College in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.4 After his father's death Geary withdrew from college to provide for his family by opening his own school at the age of fifteen.5 With hard work, doing, among other things, a teaching stint in a school he opened, and following a thrifty lifestyle, Geary was able to return to Jefferson College and graduated with his Bachelor’s degree.
