Served in the Revolutionary War, was sworn in February 28, 1778 at Washington Co., Maryland, rank unknown. History of Greene County, Ohio Volume II Its people, Industries and Institutions by Broadsone 1918 "The progenitor of this branch of the Ankeney family in America was Dewalt Ankeney, who in 1746, he then having just reached the age of conscription in one of the kingdoms of what is now Germany, was brought to this country by his maternal uncle, Casper Dewalt, in order to keep the lad out of the army into which all his older brothers had been drafted, Uncle Casper Dewalt and his nephew embarking at Rotterdam, Holland, and coming over on the vessel "Neptune" and landing at the port of Philadelphia. Dewalt Ankeney, then about eighteen years of age, was trained to the trade of shoemaking and later, during the Revolutionary War, made shoes for Washington's soldiers at Valley Forge. He became a farmer and the owner of a tract of land in the vicinity of Clear Springs, in Washington Co., Maryland, where his last days were spent. Dewalt Ankeney was twice married and had twelve children. It is well to note, in passing, that the Dewalt's, the family of Dewalt Ankeney's mother, were French and had fled from France into Germany during the time of the Huguenot persecution. Dewalt Ankeney became a considerable landowner, his large farm being given the name of "Wellphased", and his last will and testament disposing of his estate is now in the possession of his great- great-grandson, Albert Ankeney, of this county." Dewalt Ankeney and his family were members of the Reformed Church. According to baptismal records of his children, the Ankeney's attended the Jonestown Reformed Church in Lancaster (Lebanon) Co., Pennsylvania, the Host Church on Big Swatara Creek in Berks Co., near Jonestown, Pennsylvania, and the Salem Church in Washington Co., near Hagerstown, Maryland. According to Albert S. Ankeney, Dewalt was the youngest of seven sons in his family • Alt. Birth; 11/16/1727, Rhine Palatinate, Germany. • Alt. Birth; 11/16/1727, Wurtemburg, Germany. • Alt. Birth; 1728, Wurtemberg, Germany. • Residence; 1762, Clear Springs, Washington Co., Maryland. • Immigration; 1746, Germany. Dewalt married Mary Jane Dorner in 1748 in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania. Mary was born about 1730 in Germany, died about 1790. The cause of her death was injuries received while saving a horse from a burning barn. Other names for Mary were Catherine Domer, and Mary Jane Domer. They had five children: Christian, Peter, Katharina, Rebecca, and Anna Maria. General Notes: Regarding Thomas Dorner, Mary Jane's father, "There arrived from Germany December 3, 1740, at Philadelphia, the ship "Samuel", Hugh Percy, Captain, from Rotterdam and last from Deal, England. She brought 175 Palatines who were Germans from the Palatinate Provinces to the Rhine. Among them was a man who took the oath of Allegiance and signed his name with his own hand as Thomas Dorner. This man was the only emigrant of his name among thirty thousand who arrived in Pennsylvania between 1727 and 1776. He settled in Washington Co., (then Frederick Co.,) at or near Hagerstown, was doubtless married upon his arrival in this country and brought at least three children with him: sons, (Christian and Peter) mentioned in Maryland Deeds, and a daughter, (Mary Jane Dorner), born in Germany, who married Dewalt Ankeney." Dewalt Next married Margaretha Becker about 1758 in Maryland . Margaretha was born about 1730 and died about 1790 Other names for Margaretha were Margaret, and Margaret Baker. They had seven children: John Michael, Henry G., Margretha, David, -3- Dewalt Angene Jacob, George, and Elisabetha. Margaret, the widow of Noah Frederick, had been killed by Indians. It is said that a band of Shawnees came on Noah Frederick plowing in his field, killed and scalped him, and carried away Thomas, who was with him. They plundered his house and carried away everything that suited their purpose. Noah's wife and daughters were at the barn and escaped by hiding. Thomas remained seven years with the Indians until the end of the French and Indian War, when he was given up at Fort Duquesne. There was no one to claim him, and he was taken to Philadelphia and apprenticed to a shoemaker by the name of Stone, whom he served seven years. Then he started out as a traveling shoemaker, seeking his home. By telling his story and recalling recollections of his childhood, he finally came across a man who knew his mother and who took him to the wife of Dewalt Angny. He was now nineteen years old. His mother identified him by a scar on his neck where his father had opened a boil. Henry G. Angene Dewalt Angene’s Child -6- Dewalt Angene Henry G. Angene 2B. Henry G.

The Maryland Herald and Hagerstown Advertiser of Wednesday, May 23, 1810 published this obituary: "Departed this life on Thursday night last, after a lingering illness, at his farm on West Conococheague, Henry Ankeney, Esquire, in the 50th year of his age. That circle of society in which his worth was known will long revere his virtues and deplore their loss. To his family the privation is irreparable, to his friends it will be the subject of long and painful remembrance." History of Greene County, Ohio Volume II Its people, Industries and Institutions by Broadstone 1918 "Henry Ankeney, second son of Dewalt and Margaretha (Frederick) Ankeney, grew up on the home farm in the Clear Spring neighborhood in Maryland and after his marriage established his home on a farm in that same neighborhood and became a farmer on his own account."
