Philadelphia, PA Caroline and Sarah Ann Are Caroline Hansell (1822-1849) and Sarah Ann Hansell (1817-1863) Philadelphia, PA Caroline and Sarah Ann are daughters of Thomas Hansell, turner (1786-1865) and Mary Steiner (1789-1829). Caroline Hansell was born in 1822. Around 1843 she married Jacob Senfft Eckfeldt. Caroline and Jacob had two children. In 1849, Caroline died, age 27, of tuberculosis. She was buried in Lot 475 in Monument Cemetery, Philadelphia, a plot owned by her brother William F. Hansell. Sarah Ann Hansell was born about 1817. Around 1850 she married her sister’s wid- ower Jacob Senfft Eckfeldt. Sarah Ann and Jacob had two children. In 1863, Sarah Ann died, age 46, of tuberculosis. She was buried near her sister in Monument Cemetery. Caroline’s children are: Elizabeth Summers Eckfeldt, born 1844 Henry Summers Eckfeldt, born 1846 Sarah Ann’s children are: Thomas Hansell Eckfeldt, born 1852 Jacob Summers Eckfeldt, born 1857 Who is Jacob Senfft Eckfeldt and why is his middle name Senfft? And why do these kids have middle names of Summers? There are families and circumstances lurking in the background here, so I’ll start with the fellows who voyaged from Europe to start new lives in Pennsylvania. Peter David Hansell (1724-1786) arrived in Philadelphia between 1750 and 1754. Where he came from is speculative. Peter David Hansell lived in Upper Darby, Blockley and Kingsessing. One of his sons, William Hansell, lived in Darby. After William’s death in 1800, his widow and children moved into Philadelphia. In the early 1800s one of William’s children, Thomas Hansell (father of Caroline and Sarah Ann), married Mary Steiner (in St. Michael’s Lutheran Church) and lived with Mary’s father Frederick Steiner on North Alley near the corner of 5th Street. 1810 John Paxton Map Hansell, Senfft & Eckfeldt families lived in the vicinity of North Alley (St.) and 5th Street. The dotted area east of 5th Street #72 is the still-existing Christ Church Burial Ground Nancy Ettensperger - March 2016 Caroline Hansell & Sarah Ann Hansell Page 1 A native of Nuremberg, Bavaria, Jacob Eckfeldt (1733-1818) sailed into Philadelphia on the ship Chance in September of 1764. Jacob set up a blacksmith and machine shop in the Northern Liberties then he moved to the city center. His great claim to fame is the early work he and his descendants did for the new United States Mint. For a span of 133 years, one Eckfeldt or another would be associated with the U.S. Mint. Much is written about the Eckfeldt family elsewhere. The salient points are these: In the early 1800s, Jacob Eckfeldt and his family lived near the corner of 5th Street and North Alley. Jacob Eckfeldt married three times and had numerous children. Jacob’s second wife, Elizabeth Kunkle, had about five children, one be- ing Michael Eckfeldt (1779-1833). The Hermann Sommer (1699-1767) family arrived in Philadelphia September 1754 on the ship Edinburgh. This Sommer family hailed from Hoch-Weisel, Hesse Darmstadt, Germany. I don’t know what Hermann did or where he lived. His death is recorded in the St. Michael’s/Zion church records. One of Hermann’s sons was Johann Heinrich Sommer (1742-1798) whose name eventually transitioned to Henry Summers. Henry married Catharina Dessinger in 1766. Henry was a brewer and lived on Noble Street, between 2nd and 3rd, in the Northern Liberties ward of Philadelphia. One of Henry and Catharina’s children was Henry Summers (1780- 1857). I can see Henry, Jr. driving a wagon load of beer barrels from Noble Street, south into the city center, passing through North Alley with a delivery for the travern keeper George Senfft. 1810 John Paxton Map Sommer residence - Northern Liberties George Senfft (1752-1821) entered into an indenture on November 4, 1771 as a servant for Godfrey Twells of Philadelphia. The indenture book shows that George had ar- rived in Philadelphia on a ship sailing from Rotterdam. George was to serve 2 years and 9 months. Godfrey Twells was involved in the brewery business. George must have picked up a thing or two during his indenture. Early Philadelphia records list George as a brewer/innkeeper/tavernkeeper. By the early 1800s, George Senfft was a tavernkeeper at 25 North Alley. Most importantly, George married Charlotta Phillip- ina and they had about seven children, all girls, two of whom are: Elizabeth Senfft (1782-1880) - in 1799 married Henry Summers (the fellow who de- livered the beer) Catherine Senfft (1785-1851) - about 1804 married Michael Eckfeldt (the guy who lived across the street) Nancy Ettensperger - March 2016 Caroline Hansell & Sarah Ann Hansell Page 2 Michael Eckfeldt and Catherine Senfft had a dozen or so children. The one we are concerned with is Jacob Senfft Eckfeldt (1821-1902). Jacob Senfft Eckfeldt would marry the Hansell sisters, Caroline and Sarah Ann. If your eyeballs have rolled into the back of your skull by now from too much informa- tion, here is a simple chart linking these families. Hermann Somer + Anna Elisabeth Anschicks / (1699-1767) (1708-1749) / | Jacob Eckfeldt + Elizabeth Kunkle George Senfft + Charlotta Phillipina Henry Summers + Catharina Dessinger / (1733-1818) 1742-1785 / / (1752-1821) (1758-1840) / / (1742-1798) (1743-1829) / | | | | Michael Eckfeldt + Catherine Senfft Elizabeth Senfft + Henry Summers / (1779-1833) (1785-1851) / / (1782- 1880 ) (1781-1857) / | | Jacob Senfft Eckfeldt (1821-1902) presumably no children married (1) Caroline Hansell (1822-1849) married (2) Sarah Ann Hansell (1817-1863) Henry Summers and Elizabeth Senfft apparently did not have children, or at least no children survived. Elizabeth’s sister, Catherine Eckfeldt, had twelve. Henry and Elizabeth Summers were especially close to their nephew Jacob Senfft Eckfeldt, perhaps because Jacob’s father Michael Eckfeldt died in 1833 when Jacob was 12 years old. Henry Sum- mers would provide a home for Jacob and his motherless children and would provide for the Eckfeldt/Hansell children’s inheritance via his will, leaving them real estate he had pur- chased in Byberry. Now I know how Jacob Senfft Eckfeldt got his middle name and why three Hansell/ Eckfeldt children are named after their aunt and uncle Summers. The child Thomas Hansell Eckfeldt was clearly named after his ma- ternal grandfather. Oddly, or maybe not, the four families regrouped at 13th Street by the 1820s/1830s and lived within two blocks of each other. - The immigrant Jacob Eckfeldt retired and moved to 13th Street. Eckfeldt died in 1818 and his son Michael Eckfeldt and wife Cath- erine Senfft headed the Eckfeldt household. - Henry Summers and his wife Elizabeth Senfft purchased property on 13th Street near the Eckfeldts, where they lived with the retired George Senfft and his wife Charlotta. - Thomas Hansell moved to 13th and Budden’s Alley by 1831 and continued on with his turn- ing business. 1875 Map by G.M Hopkins Race = Sassafras Street Nancy Ettensperger - March 2016 Caroline Hansell & Sarah Ann Hansell Page 3 Finding Caroline Hansell - The Women of Aunt Anne Hansell’s Will There were hints here and there that suggested Caroline was related to the families involved in her marriage to Jacob S. Eckfeldt. After an extensive search into the Eckfeldt, Summers and Senfft families, complete with numerous pieces of paper scotch-taped to- gether (superimposed with color-coded pointing arrows trying to make connections), I gave up. In the nick of time ancestry.com put will and probate records on line. It was a great, ironic and laughable surprise to discover Caroline was actually a Hansell! Caroline’s Aunt Anne Hansell (born 1785), sister of Caroline’s father Thomas Hansell, signed her will on March 11, 1847 and died on March 15, 1847 at the home of her deceased brother, William Morris Hansell. Anne’s nephew William Frederick Hansell was a witness and her nephew James Steiner Hansell was appointed executor. Aunt Anne, who never married, left her possessions to her two sisters, a sister-in- law, 15 nieces, a nephew’s wife and one grand-niece and provided identification for each woman. This women-only will is truly a genealogical gem. By my count, the will devised 72 silver teaspoons. The square brackets include my notes. • Hannah Forman, sister, $100, silver fruit knife and my best cloak and best coat. [Hannah Hansell wife of Samuel Forman] • Ann Hansell, widow of Morris Hansell, $50. [Morris Hansell the hatter, brother to Anne Hansell] • Hannah Hansell, wife of James S. Hansell, silver soup ladle. [James Stiner Hansell, nephew to Anne Hansell, son of Thomas Hansell] • Sarah Ann Hansell, daughter of Thos Hansell, half dozen new silver teaspoons, un- finished bureau cover worked by my sister Hannah. • Emeline Hansell, daughter of Thomas Hansell, half dozen new silver teaspoons, white counterpaine, unfinished bureau cover, worked by Thos. Hansell deceased. [Thomas Hansell deceased died in 1841 and is a son of Thomas Hansell and brother to Emmeline] Nancy Ettensperger - March 2016 Caroline Hansell & Sarah Ann Hansell Page 4 • Sarah Jane Young, daughter of Morris Hansell deceased, half dozen silver tea- spoons, my patty pan patchwork or quilt. [Sarah Jane Hansell wife of John Llewellyn Young, Jr.] • Mary Ann Hogan (daughter of Morris Hansell deceased) a half dozen new silver tea- spoons, best one of the two feather beds (which formerly belong to William M. Hansell), together with bolster and two pillows. [Mary Ann Hansell married Mr. Ho- gan about whom I know nothing] • Hannah Hansell, daughter of Morris Hansell deceased, half dozen new silver tea- spoons, pair of blankets, marked A.H. and a mahogany framed looking glass also marked A.H. on the back. • Elizabeth Matthews (daughter of John and Sarah Matthews) my best bedstead, my best bed and bedding and a quilt with red lining.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable.

Debido a una serie de causas que se explican en detalle, el español de California del XIX quedó sometido a un estado de pre-diglosia, que se ha manifestado hasta el tiempo presente en la forma de una diglosia completa. Además, y considerando el español de California en el XIX desde la perspectiva de la sociolingüística histórica, se examinan cuestiones de legislación, raza y etnicidad y, más importante, de propiedad de la tierra para entender su efecto en el desarrollo del español de California. De todo lo anterior podemos concluir que el español de California fue un dialecto histórico del español de los Estados Unidos y que, hasta el día de hoy, mantiene vínculos con sus dialectos descendientes, como pueda ser el LASV. ii The dissertation of María Covadonga Lamar Prieto is approved Carlos Quícoli Teo F.

  • Future Recreation Use and Operations of Lake Berryessa
    Future Recreation Use and Operations of Lake Berryessa Final Environmental Impact Statement Solano Project, Napa, California Mid-Pacific Region U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation Mid-Pacific Region Sacramento, CA October 2005 Future Recreation Use and Operation of Lake Berryessa Final Environmental Impact Statement Solano Project, Napa, CA Mid-Pacific Region U.S. Department of Interior Bureau of Reclamation Mid-Pacific Region Sacramento, CA This final Environmental Impact Statement is prepared in compliance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) procedures. Reclamation is proposing to amend the 1992 Reservoir Area Management Plan (RAMP) by preparing a Visitor Services Plan (VSP). The Preferred Alternative would permanently remove all private long-term exclusive-use trailer sites and provide increased and improved short-term use opportunities. However, potential mitigation measures could include a phase out period that could involve relocation or consolidation of trailers on an interim basis to a less intrusive, fully developed site; actions that could require additional environmental analysis. The Preferred Alternative would also rehabilitate shorelines in the vicinity of the resort areas and would adopt the criteria of a water recreation management program termed the “Water Recreation Opportunity Spectrum” (WROS). The WROS does not impose specific numeric restrictions on any particular type of motorized or non-motorized watercraft. Rather, the WROS is a zoning classification system designed to better protect the Reservoir’s natural resources, ensure public safety, expand opportunities for diverse boating experiences by the visiting public, and more accurately forecast future visitor needs. The WROS process incorporates adaptive management, therefore monitoring of the land and water use classifications (zones) designated for Lake Berryessa and adapting for appropriate or necessary change will be an ongoing process.

    Draft Environmental Impact Statement For the Future Use and Operation of Lake Berryessa Napa County, California Lead Agency U.S. Department of Interior Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region Sacramento, California This Draft Environmental Impact Statement is prepared in compliance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation procedures. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is proposing to amend the 1992 Reservoir Area Management Plan by preparing a Visitor Services Plan that includes the removal of all exclusive long- term trailers from the existing resorts, while providing a variety of new facilities for day- use and short-term visitors. The Preferred Alternative would also rehabilitate shorelines in the vicinity of the resorts and would adopt the draft criteria of a water recreation management program termed the “Water Recreation Opportunity Spectrum” (WROS), which would assist Reclamation in better protecting the Reservoir’s natural resources while more accurately forecasting future visitor needs. This DEIS analyzes the impacts of the Preferred Alternative with three other alternatives, including a No Action Alternative. The impact categories evaluated include Land Use, Geology, Soils and Topography, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Traffic and Circulation, Noise, Recreation, Scenic Resources, Socio-Economic Environment, Public Safety, Hazardous Materials and Soil Contamination. This DEIS also fulfills the requirements of Executive Orders 11990 (protection of wetlands) and 12898 (environmental justice). Comments regarding this draft environment impact statement are due February 4, 2004 and should be sent to Janet Sierzputowski, MP-140, Bureau of Reclamation, 2800 Cottage Way, Sacramento, California 95825. For further information regarding this DEIS, contact Steve Rodgers, Facility Manager, Lake Berryessa Administrative Center, 5520 Knoxville Road, Napa, California, Telephone (707) 966-2111.
