Featherkile

The surname Featherkile [Featherkoil, Featherkyle, Fethercile, Fetherkile, etc] is mentioned in sundry records. Featherkile appears to be an anglicized spelling of the German name Federkiel. Federkiel in German means a feather quill used in writing and comes from the words feder (feather) and kiel (quill or straw). The surname in the United States is extremely rare. Later immigrants from Germany preserved the German spelling of their name as shown in more recent US censuses. For example: Andrew Federkiel was born August 30, 1853 in Lichsbadt, Baden, Germany; died Sandusky, Sandusky County, OH, July 10, 1910. Andrew Federkiel married in Huron, OH, July 7, 1879, Mary Zimmerman.

The family of Eulila Featherkile shown below probably arrived in American about 1775- 1780.

George Fethergile was a Tithable in Nelson County, Kentucky July 28, 1785. He resided on Coxes Creek and Simpsons Creek in an area easterly to the county line and northerly to Chaplins Fork. He is shown on the Tithable Lists in 1789 in northwest central Nelson County when he paid one Tithe.

George Featherkill of Nelson Co., KY, was in court in 1790: 1 County Court of Quarter Sessions, 1790-1791 : May 11, 1790: pages 122-124: Commonwealth of Kentucky versus Georg, Featherkill, on presentment for concealing a tithable [not reporting the same for tax]. Order dismissed. In 1790 George Featherkill is shown near McDonald's Run in Nelson County.

3 1793 in Nelson County, KY. Her relationship to Uley Featherkile other than being a devisee in the will of Uley is not known but given the facts that Uley's daughter Lenna Featherkile married July 9, 1788, and that son George Featherkile married one Mary Bailey July 29, 1799, it seems probable that Mary, wife of Silas Bailey was also a daughter of Uley Featherkile.

Personal Property Tax Lists commence in Virginia in the year 1782 and purport to list the names of all white male residents of each county, each year, and their personal property such as slaves, horses, cattle, etc. The Land Tax lists were rendered also each year separately. These (adult) males were also required to list their sons (by name or number) as they became age 16 and until they became age 21 at which time they would then list themselves as adults and in their own responsibility. Kentucky became a state in 1792. The first permanent settlement was in 1774 at Harrodsburg.

Uley Featherkile probably is a female and widow of an unknown Featherkile— there are conflicting statements regarding this. In the 1792 Nelson Co., KY Tax List Euly Fetherkele is taxed on 50 acres and is not taxed for white males 21 and over and is not taxed for white males 16-21. In 1792 George Fetherkele was taxed for one white male 21 and over and no acreage. 12 Eulily Featherkile was taxed for one white male 16-21 years of age on July 28, 1800, and 50 acres; George Featherkile was taxed June 26, 1800 for one white male 21 years of age and over. This seems to indicate Uley the taxpayer in 1792 and later, was a female and a widow.

George and Nicholas Featherkile, sons of Uley, were named executors. Grandson George Smallwood was named as a devisee.

Uley Featherkile had a daughter marry in 1788 and another daughter marry in 1789. Uley Featherkile had a son George mentioned in her will who married in 1799. Presumably he is the George Featherkile who was taxed for one Tithable in 1790; and also taxed Nov. 7, 1792 as 21 years of age and over---the tax list indicates he had no acreage.

Later Featherkile marriages in Nelson County were: (1) Polly Featherkile and Patrick Tyler, Jan. 14, 1817 [bond]; (2) Maria Featherkell and Benj. Sheplor, Oct. 16, 1827, by Daniel Walker. It is thought that the Featherkiles left Nelson County about this time. George and Nicholas Featherkile, executors filed a final accounting for the estate of Uley Featherkile, deceased, that is dated March 15, 1826 and recorded April 10, 1826 (page 83).

Linda wrote on Jan. 5, 2001, on Genforum.com, Featherkile Forum #12: “ My earliest "Featherkile sighting" (it's like looking for yetis) is the 1789 tithables list in Nelson Co., KY, a widow whose name is spelled every which way but is probably Eulila. There is also a George Featherkile who is on the tithables and militia rolls in 1790, 1792, etc., who seems to be her son. By 1792, at least, she is definitely referred to as a widow-- the owner of record of her property, etc. The 1790 George could be her husband, but we know she had a grown son by that name, so it is probably him. May have come out of Virginia? family may be German? Does this fit with anything anyone else knows? I can come up with a list of her children and their marriages if that would help anyone--many of them, at least, moved to Indiana.

George Featherkile {Sr.} was of 26 and under 45 in 1810, [born 1765-1784; he was of 45 and upwards in 1820 [born prior to 1776]; he was 60 to 70 years of age in 1830 [born 1760-1770]. The 1840 age of 80 to 90 is incorrect. This means he was born 1765-1770, and since his son George {Jr.] says his father was born in Germany, the family arrived in America after 1765.

“I saw a War of 1812 muster roll that listed "George Feathercoil" as being in Captain Samuel William's company of the 5th Regiment Kentucky Volunteers. They were mustered in August 15, 1812.

Ellen Featherkile could have been a grand-daughter of George Featherkile and Mary Bayley (Bailey), or possibly a daughter of Nicholas Featherkile.

Also living in the household of George Featherkile were Featherkile grandchildren: Levi, born Illinois, 1869-1870; Albert, born Illinois, 1871-1872; Isaac, born Kansas, 1876-1877; N. R., born Kansas, 1878-1879; and Lillie, born Kansas, 1878-1879.

Andrew Featherkile

Andrew Featherstyle is enumerated in the 1810 census of Montgomery County, KY, page 384. 21

The Thos. Fathergale shown in the 1810 census of Bourbon County, page 122 22 is thought to have no relationship to Andrew Featherstyle.

Andrew Fethercile served in Capt McIntire’s Co. in Ohio during the War of 1812, from July 28 to August 22, 1813.(furnished by James Sellars).

Andrew Featherkill married in Ross County, OH, June 21, 1814, Nancy Lecree. 23 These names should be Featherkile and Secrest. After the death of Andrew Featherkill/Featherkile his widow Nancy (Secrest) Fetherkile married in Adams County, OH, Oct. 15, 1832, John Helterbrand. This is from Adams County official marriage record. The name is now spelled Hilderbrand.

Andrew Featherkile married Nancy Secrist June 21, 1814 in Adams County, OH.

John Fethercoille (Featherkile) was bondsman for the marriage of Mary Fethercoille (Featherkile) and Morgan Eddy on March 19, 1805, in Fayette County, KY.

John Featherskile (Featherkile) married Jenny Maxwell Sept. 20, 1810, in Fayette County, KY. Charles Secrist was bondsman. 29

John Featherkile appears to be the John Fethercile living in Orange County, IN, in 1830 census, page 11, 80 to 90 years of age, born 1740-1750, with one other person in his household, a female born 1770-1780.

George Fethercile in 1830 was 60-70 years of age (i. e., born 1760- 70) with what appears to be a wife, two sons and three daughters as shown below. George Fethercile was a son of Eulila Featherkile of Nelson County, KY. John Fethercile is thought to be his uncle.

Featherkoil, John - Fayette County; 8-19-1800; in town of Lexington

There is a reference to a John Federkile born in 1759 in Frederick Co., MD. John (or Jonathan) Feathercoil married Catherine Beckman Dec 1, 1781, Frederick Co., MD. Abigail Feathergail married William Jones June 27, 1763, Boston, MA These individuals are thought not to be connected in any way to John Featherkile (No. 1 above).

One indexer shows Andrew as “Andrew Featherstyle” enumerated in the 1810 census of Montgomery County, KY, page 384. 32

The male above born 1784-1794 was probably Andrew Featherkile ; born 1780-1790 who married in Ross County, OH, June 21, 1814, Nancy Lecree [should read Secrest ; sometimes spelled Secrist].

Linda wrote on Jan. 5, 2001, on Genforum.com, Featherkile Forum #12: “My earliest "Featherkile sighting" (it's like looking for yetis) is the 1789 tithables list in Nelson Co., KY, a widow whose name is spelled every which way but is probably Eulila. There is also a George Featherkile who is on the tithables and militia rolls in 1790, 1792, etc., who seems to be her son. By 1792, at least, she is definitely referred to as a widow--the owner of record of her property, etc. The 1790 George could be her husband, but we know she had a grown son by that name, so it is probably him. May have come out of Virginia? family may be German? Does this fit with anything anyone else knows?

********** Hi Eugene, I don't have a whole lot on the Featherkiles. My earliest mention of them is in Kentucky in the mid 1780s when Eulalie Featherkile, a widow, appears in tax records. I'm not sure who her husband was, but I descend from her son George Featherkile who was born about 1760 and died in Orange county, IN. The 1830 census lists a John Fethercile near George who was born between 1740 and 1750 according to tax [census ?] records. I know nothing else about him. It is believed the Featherkiles are German, but when and who came over is not readily known. I did see a reference to a John Federkile who was born in 1759 in Frederick Co., MD, but I'm not sure if he is the same one from Orange County or not. Attached is what i know about these Featherkiles. Jim Sellars

22 ********** Jim Sellars To add to what I have already sent: I have been told that the anglicized name Featherkile, Fethercile, etc. comes from the German or Deutch 'Federkeil or Federkiel, meaning Quill or feather plus ink well or ink stand. In other words the word is derived from a quill and Ink well. You can look at your German dictionary to see the correct spelling of these two words. I believe John Featherkile shown in Fayette County KY court records is the John Fethercile shown in the 1830 Orange County, IN census. He, in most probability was the father of Elizabeth, wife of Lawrence Lindle. I am a descendant of Lawrence Lindle and Elizabeth (Featherkile?). I am going to see if John Fethercile of Orange County left an estate settlement or any real estate. Lawrence Lindle was in Sandusky Co., OH, in 1820 census. He was engaged in manufacture and living alone. I have always suspected he and his wife were at odds and may have split. This would account for the much younger woman in the household of John Fethercile in the 1830 Orange Co., IN census. I think John Featherkile of Fayette County and the husband of Eulily Featherkile of Nelson County migrated to Kentucky at the same time, possibly from Maryland or Pennsylvania. There were numerous Lindles in Philadelphia. Where did Lawrence Lindle learn the baking trade? Obviously in a well populated place such as Philadelphia or Baltimore.

I am going to do some more work on these two families---will keep in touch. Thanks for your Featherkile document. Eugene Trimble

1-1. John Featherkile ; living in Fayette County, KY, in 1804; appears to be the John Fethercile living in Orange County, IN, in 1830 census, 80 to 90 years of age, born 1740-1750, with one other person in his household, a female born 1770-1780. This female shown in 1830 could be Elizabeth Lindle who is shown below in a legal proceeding with her husband Laurence Lindle.

See the 1800 Fayette County, Lexington KY Tax List: John Featherkoil

36 Probably is the John Fethercile, born 1740-1750, shown in the Orange County, Indiana 1830 census. There were other persons of the name in Orange County, IN in 1830 and 1840 who came from Nelson County, K.Y

Lawrence Lindle, according to a grandson, died in Chillicothe, Ross County, OH. Andrew Featherkill married in Ross County, OH, June 21, 1814, Nancy Lecree. Andrew Featherstyle is enumerated in the 1810 census of Montgomery County, KY, page 384. 37

March 27, 2004 Jim Sellars, Thank you for all the help. Featherkile is a name I have worked on previously. I was never satisfied with the results and thought I would try again. Sept. 12, 1997, I prepared several genealogies on this name. I have since purchased another computer and my son appears to have done something with the file, anyway I cannot find the file or a 3-1/2 disk for same. I have found a print-out of the file and if you will give me your address I will mail you a copy. I am going to incorporate current data with this Sept. 12, 1997 document and see if I can improve on the results. If you have the time maybe you can help me on this. Eugene E. Trimble

March 30, 2004 Jim, As you know I am still working on these two files so I would appreciate it if you do not distribute to anyone until we can edit and get any mistakes out of this record.. I would like for you to correct any errors and let me know where we can enlarge on these two documents. John Featherkile is certainly my ancestor, but I have not as yet been able to document the siblings of his apparent daughter Elizabeth who married Lawrence Lindle. John was married twice. I knew some Lindles when I was a kid and they always joked that their ancestor came over on a cattle boat. Truth or fiction? Eugene **********

James Sellars wrote on Dec. 12, 2002 on Genforum.com, Featherkile Forum #47: “I descend from George and Mary (Bailey) Featherkile who married July 30, 1799 in Nelson Co., KY. Their daughter Polly married Malachi Jones Tyler, January 14, 1817 in Nelson Co., KY. They eventually ended up in Orange Co., IN.

I saw a War of 1812 muster roll that listed "George Feathercoil" as being in Captain Samuel William's company of the 5th Regiment Kentucky Volunteers. They were mustered in August 15, 1812. This company marched to Canada and fought in the battle of River Raisin in 1813 where everyone that wasn't killed was taken prisoner. Has anyone written the National Archives to get his military record? Could this be the same George who married Mary Bailey. I have a ton of information on the Battle of River Raisin, but haven't gone through it all to find Featherkile's name. Thanks.

James Sellars wrote on Dec. 12, 2002 on Genforum.com #48 The proper spelling of old Mrs. Featherkile's name (at least the one used today) is Eulalie which means "Sweet Talk." I tend to think her husband was George Featherkile, since he has appeared in the tax records of Nelson County since 1785. I think their son George would have been too young to be the same one who married in 1799. However, I'm just getting started on this line and may not know all the facts

There is also a George Featherkile who is on the tithables and militia rolls in 1790, 1792, etc., who seems to be her son. By 1792, at least, she is definitely referred to as a widow--the owner of record of her property, etc. The 1790 George could be her husband, but we know she had a grown son by that name, so it is probably him. May have come out of Virginia? family may be German? Does this fit with anything anyone else knows? I can come up with a list of her children and their marriages if that would help anyone-many of them, at least, moved to Indiana.”

Dear Mrs. Featherkile:

Enclosed are the results of research on the Featherkiles. With the amount of time spent, I was not able to determine where in Kentucky your husband's line originated, however Daniel Featherkile (born Sept. 7, 1814) was probably a son of George Featherkile who married Mary Bailey in Nelson County, KY, July 29, 1799. You might want to investigate this and also the possibility of Nicholas (1-5), tho I think this less likely. There was also an Andrew Featherhill or F eatherkill in Casey County, KY, in 1820 (page 206 of census) .

I found more families than expected of the name Featherkile. There are six families named Fetherngill shown in the 1820 Jefferson County, KY, census (pages 48, 52-55). This name seems to have developed into Featheringill. Apparently Featherstone, Featherston, etc. is another name. It's meaning I do not know - could be English.

You sent me two copies of the history you have and I am returning one copy.

I found Seth Featherkile of912 Goltra Ave., Jacksonville, IL, in the 1900 Illinois census, however his father appears to be deceased and I was not able to determine his grandparents. He must descend from the earlier ones in Morgan County, IL.

I was not able to locate Paul Featherkile -probably looked at records dated before he woul( have been listed. I found no Featherkiles in early Maryland. There was no Baltimore, MD, in 1635. The Maryland settlement was in what is now St. Mary's County, I think in 1630. As for "Thomas Samuel Featherkile" who was mentioned in the history you sent, I found a Thomas Featherston in Parke County, IN, in 1900, born April, 1854, with wife Anna and children Bonnie and Thomas (born June, 1896). I do not think this name was Featherkile.

Thank you for the help in searching this surname. If you have any comments or additions please let me know.

Sincerely,

Eugene E. Trimble

Featherkile Families

The surname Featherkile appears to be an anglicized spelling of the German name Federkeil. Federkiel in German means a feather quill used in writing and comes from the words feder (feather) and kiel (quill or straw). The surname in the United States is extremely rare.

George Featherkill of Nelson Co., KY, was in court in 1790: 41 County Court of Quarter Sessions, 1790-1791 : May 11, 1790: pages 122-124: Commonwealth of Kentucky versus Georg, Featherkill, on presentment for concealing a tithable [not reporting the same for tax]. Order dismissed. In 1790 George Featherkill is shown near McDonald's Run in Nelson County.

In the 1800 Tax List for Kentucky are shown: Eulily Featherkile -Nelson County -March 30, 1800 George Featherkile -Nelson County -August 30, 1800 John Featherkoil (should read Featherkile -see below) -Fayette County -August 19, 1800

John Fethercoille (Featherkile) was bondsman for the marriage of Mary Fethercoille (Featherkile) and Morgan Eddy on March 19, 1805, in Fayette County, KY.

John Featherskile (Featherkile) married Jenny Maxwell Sept. 20, 1810, in Fayette County, KY. Charles Secrist was bondsman.

Mary Bailey was mentioned, but with no relationship shown, in the will ofUley Featherkile with a gift of$100. She, Mary Feathkill (Featherkile), married Silas Bailey act. 1, 1793 in Nelson County, KY. Her relationship to Uley Featherkile other than being a devisee in the will ofUley is not known but given the facts that Uley's daughter Lenna Featherkile married July 9, 1788, and that son George Featherkile married one Mary Bailey July 29, 1799, it seems probable that Mary wife of Silas Bailey was also a daughter ofUley Featherkile.

Uley Featherkile probably is a female and widow of an unknown Featherkile -there are conflicting statements regarding this. In the 1792 Nelson Co., KY Tax List Euly Fetherkele is taxed on 50 acres and is not taxed for white males 21 and over and is not taxed for white males 16-21. In 1792 George Fetherkele was taxed for one white male 21 and over and no acreage.7 Eulily Featherkile was taxed for one white male 16-21 years of age on July 28, 1800, and 50 acres; George Featherkile was taxed June 26, 1800 for one white male 21 years of age and over. This seems to indicate Uley the taxpayer in 1792 and later, was a female and a widow.

George and Nicholas F eatherkile, sons of Uley, were named executors. Grandson George Smallwood was named as a devisee.

7 The Nelson County Pioneer Nelson County Kentucky, presented by Thomas Lee Chapter, Daughters of American Revolution; Volume VI, page 49. years of age and over -the tax list indicates he had no acreage.

34 Later Featherkile marriages in Nelson County were: (1) Polly Featherkile and (bond) Patrick Tyler, Jan. 14, 1817; (2) Maria Featherkell and Benj. Sheplor, Oct. 16, 1827, by Daniel Walker. It is thought that the Featherkiles left Nelson County about this time. George and Nicholas F eatherkile, executors filed a final accounting for the estate of Uley F eatherkile, deceased, that is dated March 15, 1826 and recorded April 10, 1826 (page 83).

1-2. Elizabeth Featherkile; married (bond) Nelson Co., KY, March 23, 1789, Daniel Connor or CoRner. Marriage register gives March 24, 1789 as date of marriage. Elizabeth and Daniel had two sons: James Conner and George Conner who are mentioned in their grandparent's will. Elizabeth had married a man named Hall by 1821.

1-3. Lenna (shown as Modlaynah8 on marriage bond) Featherkile; married Nelson Co., KY, July 9, 1788 (bond), Amos Hogland.

About two years ago he located in Florence where he lived until his departure. He united with Baptist church in his seventeenth year and became identified with the Florence Baptist church after his removal here. He was one of the earliest settlers of this section our state and had a hand in redeeming it from a grassy plain to one of the best farming and stock raising sections of the country. He was known to be a man of integrity , always honest in his business and benevolent toward the needy. He was a good neighbor and a desirable citizen. Anything good may be said of him and be true to the facts and if, we had more such men Kansas would be an ever better state than it is. In his death our country loses one of its most obedient, citizens, the community loses one of its most valued and venerable friends, the wife a devoted husband, the children an affectionate father. He has only gone before and ere long some of his long time friends and acquaintances will follow him into the land of celestial and eternal morning. " His funeral was conducted by Rev. L. S.

Featherkile Families

George Featherkill of Nelson Co., KY, was in court in 1790: 42 County Court ofQuarter Sessions, 1790-1791 : May 11, 1790: pages 122-124: Commonwealth of Kentucky versus Georg, Featherkill, on presentment for concealing a tithable [not reporting the same for tax]. Order dismissed. In 1790 George Featherkill is shown near McDonald's Run in Nelson County.

John Fethercoille (Featherkile) was bondsman for the marriage of Mary Fethercoille (Featherkile) and Morgan Eddy on March 19, 1805, in Fayette County, KY.

48 John Featherskile (Featherkile) married Jenny Maxwell Sept. 20, 1810, in Fayette County, KY. Charles Secrist was bondsman.

In the 1810 census of Nelson County, KY, page 28, is shown: Archibald Fetherkiles: 1-1- 0-1-0 = 3-1-0-0-0 = 0-0 1 male born 1765-84 (Archibald Fetherkiles). 1 male born 1794-1800. 1 male born 1800-1810. 1 female born 1794-1800. 3 females born 1800-1810.

No attempt has been made to verify the spelling of this name. This is the only place in which it was found.

1-1. Uley (Eule, Yuly, Ulilo, Eulila) Featherkile , 43 estimated date of birth, 1750; owned 50 acres in Nelson Co., KY on East Fork of Cox's Creek purchased May 12, 1794 of Richard McMahon and his wife Nancy; approximately eight miles north of present day Bardstown, KY; 44 owned 20 acres in northern part of Nelson County on waters of Kimbleys Run on east fork of Cox's VCreek purchased April 4, 1806 from Thomas Lilly; 45 Uley or Euly Fetherkele was first shown on the Nelson County Land Tax List for 1792. In that year Eule was taxed for 50 acres however, Uley paid no Tithe for males 16 to 21 or 21 and over. Uley Featherkile's will dated June 22, 1821; proved Nelson Co., KY, Aug. 20, 1821: Children named in will; birth order not known: 46 + 1-2. Elizabeth; estimated date of birth, 1770. + 1-3.

46 For marriages of these children see: Nelson County, Kentucky Marriage Bonds 1785-1832, Volume I, A-J and Volume II, K-Z, by Mary Harrel Stancliff. Record of Marriages in Nelson County, Kentucky for the period of Years 1780-1851 inclusive by Annie Walker Bun Walling Creek, KY, November, 1932.

47 This reminds one of the French name, Magdelaine, or the Spanish Magdalena.

49 Tithable July 28, 1785 "when he turned 21"? then he was born ca. 1764; otherwise the George who paid the Tithe in 1785 probably was the husband of Uley Featherkile. + 1-5. Nicholas; born ca. 1777. + 1-6. Peggy; born prior to 1788. + 1-7. Uley "Eulila, Eulinla"; estimated date ofbirth 1782. + 1-8. Katharine "Caty" ; estimated date of birth 1784. + 1-9. Charlotte; estimated date of birth 1786; died prior to June 22, 1821. + 1-10 . Christina; estimated date of birth 1788.

Mary Bailey was mentioned, but with no relationship shown, in the will of Uley Featherkile with a gift of$100. She, Mary Feathkill (Featherkile), married Silas Bailey act. 1, 1793 in Nelson County, KY. Her relationship to Uley Featherkile other than being a devisee in the will ofUley is not known but given the facts that Uley's daughter Lenna Featherkile married July 9, 1788, and that son George Featherkile married one Mary Bailey July 29, 1799, it seems probable that Mary wife of Silas Bailey was also a daughter of Uley Featherkile.

Uley Featherkile probably is a female and widow of an unknown Featherkile -there are conflicting statements regarding this. In the 1792 Nelson Co., KY Tax List Euly Fetherkele is taxed on 50 acres and is not taxed for white males 21 and over and is not taxed for white males 16-21. In 1792 George Fetherkele was taxed for one white male 21 and over and no acreage. 48 Eulily Featherkile was taxed for one white male 16-21 years of age on July 28, 1800, and 50 acres; George Featherkile was taxed June 26, 1800 for one white male 21 years of age and over. This seems to indicate Uley the taxpayer in 1792 and later, was a female and a widow.

George and Nicholas F eatherkile, sons of Uley, were named executors. Grandson George Smallwood was named as a devisee.

48 The Nelson County Pioneer Nelson County Kentucky, presented by Thomas Lee Chapter, Daughters of American Revolution; Volume VI, page 49.

50 Later Featherkile marriages in Nelson County were: (1) Polly Featherkile and (bond) Patrick Tyler, Jan. 14, 1817; (2) Maria Featherkell and Benj. Sheplor, Oct. 16, 1827, by Daniel Walker. It is thought that the Featherkiles left Nelson County about this time. George and Nicholas F eatherkile, executors filed a final accounting for the estate of Uley F eatherkile, deceased, that is dated March 15, 1826 and recorded April 10, 1826 (page 83).

1-2. Elizabeth Featherkile ; married (bond) Nelson Co., KY, March 23, 1789, Daniel Connor or Conner . Marriage register gives March 24, 1789 as date of marriage. Elizabeth and Daniel had two sons: James Conner and George Conner who are mentioned in their grandparent's will. Elizabeth had married a man named Hall by 1821.

1-3. Lenna Featherkile (shown as Modlaynah 49 on marriage bond); married Nelson Co., KY, July 9, 1788 (bond), Amos Hogland.

1-4. George Featherkile ; married Nelson Co., KY, July 29, 1799, Mary Bayley (Bailey) , daughter of Silas Bayley (George F eatherkile is shown on page 217 of the 1820 Nelson Co. , KY census). George presumably was living in 1826 when the final accounting was filed for Uley Featherkile in Nelson County. George Featherkile, born prior to 1776, is shown in the 1820 census of Nelson County, KY 50 with the following household: one male born prior to 1776 (George Featherkile); two males born 1794-1804 ; one male born 1804-1810; three males born 1810-1820; one female born prior to 1776; and three (?) females born 1804-1810.

1- 5. Nicholas Featherkile ; born Kentucky, 51 ca. 1778; married Nelson Co., KY, Nov. 12, 180, Polly Okes (another source gives "Patty Oakes" and date of marriage as Nov. 14, 1804); surety was Josiah Crawford. Nicholas Featherkile presumably is the Nicholas Featherkile shown in the 1830 census in Morgan County, IL, 52 along with Isaac Edwards (page 73) who may be the Isaa( Edwards who married a Featherkile in Nelson County, KY. Nicholas had in his household in 1830, the following persons: one male born 1770-1780 (Nicholas, head of household); one male born 1790-1800; one male born 1800-1810; one male born 1815-1820;

"In family correspondence the spelling is always Treasy." The 1880 62 census for Doyle Township gives spelling as Theressa Featherkyle, birth place Kentucky and her parents are listed as born in Kentucky. Samuel Featherkile is shown as "Sam Fetherkyle."

"Samuel Featherkile was born in Vigo County, Indiana march 17th, 1838 and died at his home in Florence, Kansas, December 28th, 1909, at II :30 a. m. aged 71 years 9 months and II days.

T o this union twelve children were born: Mary Jane, John Thomas William Thornton, Nancy, Ida, Lilley, Daniel Webster, Katy, Samuel, Della, Triphemia and Henry (sic.). John Samuel and Nancy preceded him to the better land. Mr. Featherkile came from Vigo County to Chase County, Kansas, in 1868. In '69 he homesteaded in Marion County, Kansas about midway between Florence and Cedar Point where he ived continuously for thirty-seven years. About two years ago he located in Florence where he lived until his departure. He united with Baptist church in his seventeenth year and became identified with the Florence Baptist church after his removal here. He was one of the earliest settlers of this section our state and had a hand in redeeming it from a grassy plain to one of the best farming and stock raising sections of the country. He was known to be a man of integrity , always honest in his business and benevolent toward the needy. He was a good neighbor and a desirable citizen. Anything good may be said of him and be true to the facts and if, we had more such men Kansas would be an ever better state than it is. In his death our country loses one of its most obedient, citizens, the community loses one of its most valued and venerable friends, the wife a devoted husband, the children an affectionate father. He has only gone before and ere long some of his long time friends and acquaintances will follow him into the land of

John Featherkile

Johannes Fetherkile born Nov 1758, Frederick Co., MD (from James Sellars).

John Federkile was born 1759 in Frederick Co., MD (from James Sellars).

John (or Jonathan) Feathercoil married Catherine Beckman Dec 1, 1781, Frederick Co., MD (from James Sellars).

The 1800 Tax List for Fayette County, KY, shows John Featherkoil (should read Featherkile - see below) - Fayette County - August 19, 1800 .

See the 1800 Fayette County, Lexington KY Tax List: John Featherkoil

63 state. Order Book for May Term of Court was searched and no mention was found of the above action.

John Fethercoille (Featherkile) was bondsman for the marriage of Mary Fethercoille (Featherkile) and Morgan Eddy on March 19, 1805, in Fayette County, KY.

John Featherskile (Featherkile) married Jenny Maxwell Sept. 20, 1810, in Fayette County, KY.. Charles Secrist was bondsman.

The 1830 census of Orange County, IN, lists a John Fethercile near George who was born between 1740 and 1750 according to census records.

Probably, John Featherkile shown in Fayette County KY court records is the John Fethercile shown in the 1830, Orange County, IN census. He, in most probability was the father of Elizabeth, wife of Lawrence Lindle. I am a descendant of Lawrence Lindle and Elizabeth (Featherkile?). Lawrence Lindle was in Sandusky Co., OH, in 1820 census. He was engaged in manufacture and living alone

Did John Fethercile of Orange County left an estate settlement or any real estate? Lawrence Lindle and his wife Elizabeth Featherkile appeared from Court records were at odds and may have split. This could account for the much younger woman in the household of John Fethercile in the 1830 Orange Co., IN census. I think John Featherkile of Fayette County and the husband of Eulily Featherkile of Nelson County migrated to Kentucky at the same time, possibly from Maryland or Pennsylvania, or directly from Germany. There were numerous Lindles in Philadelphia. Where did Lawrence Lindle learn the baking trade? Obviously in a well populated place such as Philadelphia or Baltimore.

“Fayette County, Ky., April Court Term 1804: Laurence Lindle vs John Featherkile 64 and Elizabeth Lindle On the motion of Laurence Lindle ordered that John Featherkile and Elizabeth Lindle be summoned to appear here on the first day of next May Court to shew cause why Jacob Otilla Lindle and Cracinsa Lindle shall not be bound apprentices agreeably to the laws of this state.

A professional researcher wrote, “Order Book for May Term of Court was searched and no mention was found of above action.”

Lawrence Lindle [Lindal, Lindel, Lendol, Lindol] and his wife Elizabeth purchased on June 16, 1796, a lot in the town of Lexington, Fayette County, KY , on Water, crop, and High

By 1792, at least, she is definitely referred to as a widow--the owner of record of her property, etc. The 1790 George could be her husband, but we know she had a grown son by that name, so it is probably him.

********** Jim Sellars To add to what I have already sent: I have been told that the anglicized name Featherkile, Fethercile, etc. comes from the German or Deutch 'Federkeil or Federkiel, meaning Quill or feather plus ink well or ink stand. In other words the word is derived from a quill and Ink well. You can look at your German dictionary to see the correct spelling of these two words. I believe John Featherkile shown in Fayette County KY court records is the John Fethercile shown in the 1830 Orange County, IN census. He, in most probability was the father of Elizabeth, wife of Lawrence Lindle. I am a descendant of Lawrence Lindle and Elizabeth (Featherkile?). I am going to see if John Fethercile of Orange County left an estate settlement or any real estate. Lawrence Lindle was in Sandusky Co., OH, in 1820 census.

71 ********** Hi Eugene, I don't have a whole lot on the Featherkiles. My earliest mention of them is in Kentucky in the mid 1780s when Eulalie Featherkile, a widow, appears in tax records. I'm not sure who her husband was, but I descend from her son George Featherkile who was born about 1760 and died in Orange county, IN. The 1830 census lists a John Fethercile near George who was born between 1740 and 1750 according to tax (?) records. I know nothing else about him. It is believed the Featherkiles are German, but when and who came over is not readily known. I did see a reference to a John Federkile who was born in 1759 in Frederick Co., MD, but I'm not sure if he is the same one from Orange County or not. Attached is what I know about these Featherkiles James Sellars

********** Jim Sellars To add to what I have already sent: I have been told that the anglicized name Featherkile, Fethercile, etc. comes from the German or Dutch 'Federkeil or Federkiel, meaning Quill or feather plus ink well or ink stand. In other words the word is derived from a quill and Ink well. You can look at your German dictionary to see the correct spelling of these two words. I believe John Featherkile shown in Fayette County KY court records is the John Fethercile shown in the 1830 Orange County, IN census. He, in most probability was the father of Elizabeth, wife of Lawrence Lindle. I am a descendant of Lawrence Lindle and Elizabeth (Featherkile?). I am going to see if John Fethercile of Orange County left an estate settlement or any real estate. Lawrence Lindle was in Sandusky Co., OH, in 1820 census. He was engaged in manufacture and living alone. I have always suspected he and his wife were at odds and may have split. This would account for the much younger woman in the household of John Fethercile in the 1830 Orange Co., IN census. I think John Featherkile of Fayette County and the husband of Eulily Featherkile of Nelson County migrated to Kentucky at the same time, possibly from Maryland or Pennsylvania. There were numerous Lindles in Philadelphia. Where did Lawrence Lindle learn the baking trade? Obviously in a well populated place such as Philadelphia or Baltimore.

I am going to do some more work on these two families---will keep in touch. Thanks for your Featherkile document. Eugene Trimble

72 See the 1800 Fayette County, Lexington KY Tax List: John Featherkoil

“Fayette County, Ky., April Court Term 1804: Laurence Lindle vs John Featherkile 72 and Elizabeth Lindle

On the motion of Laurence Lindle ordered that John Featherkile and Elizabeth Lindle be summoned to appear here on the first day of next May Court to shew cause why Jacob Otilla Lindle and Cracinsa Lindle shall not be bound apprentices agreeably to the laws of this state.

A professional researcher wrote, “Order Book for May Term of Court was searched and no mention was found of above action.”

03-26-2004 Hi Eugene, Did some checking and found a few more Featherkile items that may lead to some clues. At least a few localities to look at. Johannes Fetherkile born Nov 1758, Frederick Co., MD. John (or Jonathan) Feathercoil married Catherine Beckman Dec 1, 1781, Frederick Co., MD Abigail Feathergail married William Jones June 27, 1763, Boston, MA Andrew Fethercile served in Capt McIntire’s Co. in Ohio during the War of 1812 from July 28 –– August 22, 1813. Andrew Featherkile married Nancy Secrist June 21, 1814 in Adams County, OH.

72 Probably is the John Fethercile, born 1740-1750, shown in the Orange County, Indiana 1830 census. There were other persons of the name in Orange County, IN in 1830 and 1840 who came from Nelson County, K.Y
