801	Simon first appeared in the record obtaining a job in 1650 at a mill in Ammerndorf, Bavaria owned at the time by Johann Preuss. This mill was built in 1607 and continues to operate under the ownership of Albert Stinzendörfer, whose family has owned it since 1878. We visited this mill and drank beer with the Stinzendörfer family in 2010. The mill owner's daughter, Maria Preuss, became pregnant by Simon, and the two married in 1654. This explains the atypical union between Catholic and Lutheran. No further traces of the couple can be found in Ammerndorf after 1657. The year after son Jacob was born, Simon and Maria bought a house at Hauptstrasse 33 in Unterschlauersbach, Bavaria. The purchase contract lists Simon's place of origin as 'Pfaffenhofen in Bavaria.' We visited this house in 2011 and met the owners, Herr Kolb and his wife. They were very kind, and gave us a photo of the original house which had been demolished in the 1990s. This photo of the original house was taken in 1906.	PREUSS, Maria (I67770)

803	So, evidently after both of Samuel's wives died, he was unable or unwilling to care for all of his four children. In the 1900 US Census, only first-born John Ray Zentmeyer was living with him. Son Everett was living with Weir family, and son George was living with the Jay family. It is unclear where daughter Lillie was living, but she was not with Samuel.	ZENTMEYER, Samuel (I1983)

809	Some of the following background information is excerpted from Hobart History and Genealogy, 1632-1956, compiled by Ethel Hobart Carothers. Later facts are supported by My Ancestors, by Irene Hobart, published in the Carthage Republican, February 8, 1933. Jonas Hobart's parents were Amos Hobart (born in 1774 in Lyme, Grafton County, New Hampshire, died in 1842 in or near Carthage, Hancock County, Illinois) and Keziah Marshall, nee Chase (born in 1772 in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, died in 1843 in Hancock County, Illinois). Amos' parents were Jonas Hobart, born in what was then Massachusetts on November 15, 1744, and Betty Kemp. After Jonas' brother, Isaac, was killed at Bunker Hill, Jonas joined the Continental Army and served for three years. At the Battle of Ticonderoga he was severely wounded in the cheek, but survived and collected a yearly pension of $96.00 for the rest of his life. He moved west to Illinois in 1823, died ten years later and was buried near Rushville in Schuyler County, Illinois. Of Amos and Keziah's children, the eldest two, Jonas and Joshua C., were born in New Hampshire. The family moved to Essex, Chittenden County, Vermont, where four more children were born: Amasa, Anson, Norman, Mary Ann and Eliza Ann. They moved to Allegheny County, New York about 1816. Amasa and Mary Ann did not live to adulthood. The remaining four came to Illinois. In addition to Jonas' family, a number of Norman's children are also buried at Webster Cemetery.	HOBART, Amos (I85670)
810	Some researchers believe that the James, John, and Mark in the 1810 census record were brothers, which is likely, and that their father was the Thomas Marlow who died in Iredell County in 1811, which is unlikely given that none of the three were named in Thomas' Will.	MARLOW, John (I3231)
811	Sometime after 1880 and by 1900, he was admitted to the Iowa State Hospital for the Insane in Mt Pleasant, Henry Co. This is most likely where he died in 1916 as he is listed as an inmate here in the 1910 U.S. Census and again in 1915 in the Iowa State Census.	ZENTMEYERS, David Conoway (I1978)
812	Sometime during the 1870's Charles S and Martha Kiddoo Zentmire went to western Iowa, and in 1877 they moved to Rice County, Kansas. The move there was made in a covered wagon. They lived on a farm until June 1880 when an epidemic of typhoid took the lives of Charles and Martha in Valley Twp, Rice Co. Their grandmother and an uncle came to Kansas to get their 3 small girls and took them back to family in Mercer Co, Illinois.	ZENTMIRE, Charles Sylvester (I2860)

Zentmyer of New York City; daughter, Saundra Blair of Hagerstown; sisters, Mrs. Catherine Footen of Westernport, Md., and Miss Mabel Zentmyer of Philadelphia. He was assistant foreman at Pangborn Corp., where he had been employed for 32 years.

824	Sudden Death in Clay Mathias Meiley, a well-known resident of Clay, died on Sunday quite suddenly. He was seated on the porch at his home when he was stricken with apoplexy. Dr. J.Y. Kline was summoned, but was unable to save his life, and death ensued in about half an hour after the attack. Deceased was in his 88th year. He was a former resident of Lexington, and in earlier life was a bricklayer by trade. He is survived by his second wife and fifteen children. Five children are dead. Deceased was a member of the Lutheran Church. The funeral took place to-day [sic] at 10 o'clock at the Brickerville Emanuel's Lutheran church.

STRAYHORN, Robert (I86048)
835	The 1810 US Census shows David in Washington Twp, Franklin Co. Pennsylvania, which was the location of his father Christopher's farm. His son John's obituary states: "John Zentmyer saw the light of day in Williamsport, Maryland March 24, 1808. When he was quite young his parents removed to Waynesboro, Franklin County." -Huntingdon Monitor, 19 Mar 1891. The following additional sources convince us that David's home and tannery were originally in Washington Co., Maryland before he moved to be near his father. (Waynesboro is within Washington Twp) -- ". . . Elizabeth Zentmeyer, who was born in 1803 near the Mason-Dixon line at the foot of South Mountain, in Washington County, Md. where her father was for many years engaged in the tanning business." -Biographical Annals of Franklin County -- ". . . his mother, Elizabeth (Zentmyer) Hoover was born in Washington County, Maryland in 1803." -History of Cumberland Valley -- ". . . Elizabeth Zentmyer, daughter of David Zentmyer, who conducted a tannery at the foot of the mountains between Rouzerville, Pennsylvania and Edgemont, Maryland." -Biographical Sketches, p.195 -- "His wife Elizabeth, a daughter of David Zentmyer, was born at the foot of the South Mountain--westside--where her father had been engaged in tanning for many years." -Historical Sketch of Franklin County. -- "Near Pen Mar" -David Taylor Zentmeyer	ZENTMYER, David (I1842)
836	The birth record below is the only instance of Görg that has been found in the record. It is assumed that he died young, but no death record has been found.	ZENTMEYER, Johann Görg (I1631)
837	The deed by which Christopher conveyed his farm to his son Daniel was also his will, a shrewd legal strategy, see 'Third' below. But it is an interesting document for several reasons. First, John Wesley Zentmyer was a special grandson to Christopher and Barbara Zentmeyer. When the will was written in 1824, there was a special provision for John to receive two hundred dollars from the estate at Christopher's death. By 1824 Christopher had as many as eighteen additional grandchildren, none of whom were similarly provided for. The will also indicates that one John Zentmyer was living nearby at that time, and since Christopher's son John was living in Brownsville, Virginia by then, one must conclude the John residing near Christopher's farm must have been John Wesley Zentmyer. The will also provided for a shed to be built and finished adjoining John Zentmyer's house for Christopher to enjoy during the remainder of his natural life. So it appears John Wesley Zentmyer and his wife Eleanor cared for grandparents Christopher and Barbara into their old age, and were therefore rewarded in the will. Second, the will illuminates for us the diversity of economic activity on the farm. There are references to crops of wheat, rye, corn, hay, and apples; a stable with cows, horses, cattle, and hogs; a weaver shop, and wool, so presumably sheep; and firewood production indicating logging. Third, the will presented an interesting legal question, namely do certain economic provisions in a grant deed survive a foreclosure. The deed stated that "Daniel Zentmeyer engages to give to his father Christopher Zentmeyer yearly and every year during his natural life and the life of his wife Barbara twenty bushels of wheat, twenty bushels of rye, and twenty bushels of corn, also two good loads of hay, and one third of the rows of apple trees divided the short way and pasture two cows and one horse with his own cattle also to let them keep four hogs which are to run with his hogs." Neighbor George Harbaugh took title to the farm in 1828 after a foreclosure sale, and ceased fulfilling the provisions Christopher had specified in the deed. The Zentmeyers sued Harbaugh. The court held: "I look upon it as a covenant to pay rent in kind; and if it be, it is a covenant running with the land, and the defendant is clearly liable; for, upon such covenants, which concern real property, or the estate therein, the assignee of the lessee is liable for an action for a breach of covenant after the assignment of the estate to him." So Harbaugh was required to continue to supply the goods and services to Christopher as required in the deed, a much better result than had Christopher simply written a will.

841	The English-born Susannah North Martin was the fourth daughter and youngest child of Richard North and Joan North (née Bartram). Her mother died when she was a child. Her stepmother was Ursula North. Martin was baptized in Olney, Buckinghamshire, England on 30 September 1621, Her family moved to Salisbury, Massachusetts around 1639 when she was about 18 years old. On August 11, 1646 at Salisbury, Susannah married a widower George Martin, a blacksmith with whom she had eight children. First Accusation In 1669, Susannah was first formally accused of witchcraft by William Sargent. Susannah was required to post 100 pounds bond to appear in court on a charge of witchcraft, a capital offense. Her husband George Martin sued Sargent for slander against Susannah for accusing her of being a witch, but the Court upheld the accusation of witchcraft. A higher court later dismissed the witchcraft charges. Second Accusation Susannah's husband George died in 1686, leaving Susannah an impoverished widow by the time of the second accusation of witchcraft in 1692. Inhabitants of nearby Salem Village, Massachusetts, stated that she had attempted to recruit them into witchcraft. Susannah was tried for these charges, but she proved by all accounts to be pious and quoted the Bible freely, something a witch was said to be incapable of. Descriptions of Susanna say that she was short, slightly plump, active, and "of remarkable personal neatness." She was also said to be very outspoken, contemptuous of authority, and defiant in the face of the slander which had followed her for years. The Arrest On April 30, 1692, a warrant was issued for Susannah's arrest on a charge of witchcraft, and she was arrested an May 2nd. When she saw Orlando Bagley approaching on the morning of her arrest, little did she dream of his errand. He was a personal friend of long standing, and we can but faintly imagine her surprise when he read the warrant. On May 2, Susannah was taken to Ingersills Tavern in Salem Village for examination. She pleaded not guilty, and vigorously answered the charges against her. She underwent the indignity of a physical examination on June 2, 1692. The examinations were intended to discover whether the accused had any physical abnormalities, especially anything that could be used to suckle a familiar or even the devil himself. Susanna was examined twice during the same day; at neither examination was any abnormality discovered. The Reverend Cotton Mather said of Susannah: "This woman was one of the most impudent, scurrilous, wicked creatures of this world; and she did now throughout her whole trial discover herself to be such a one. Yet when she was asked what she had to say for herself, her chief plea was that she had led a most virtuous and holy life." Joseph Merrill, in his History of Amesbury, described Susanna differently. "The idea of snatching this hardworking, honest woman from her home to be tried for her life by those who never knew her, and witnesses who were prejudiced against her is almost too much for belief. Allowed no counsel, she was her own lawyer, and her answers are remarkable for independence and clearness. She showed herself to be a woman of more than ordinary talent and resolution." The Trial & Execution Susannah was tried on the June 29th session of court. During the trial, it is said that she laughed out loud at the afflicted persons as they writhed about the floor in great pain, which they said was caused by Susannah's bewitching arts. She later stated in her testimony that she did not think the afflicted were bewitched. Many of her neighbors came to court to testify to her bewitching arts. All the while Susannah stuck to her faith, knowing that if she admitted she was a witch, it would save her life. At the trials end, Susannah Martin, at the age of 71, was found guilty and condemned to death. On Tuesday, July 19, 1692 Susanna Martin, Sarah Good, Rebecca Nurse, Sarah Wilde, and Elizabeth Howe were taken from their cells, put into a cart and driven up the rocky road to Gallows Hill at Salem, Massachusetts. Susannah North Martin and the others were hanged by the neck until dead for allegedly committing acts of witchcraft.	NORTH, Susannah (I3642)

849	The leading Brutsche genealogist in Germany for many years was Armin Brutsche from Murg, a town on the Rhine about 14 kilometers from Dogern. On Jun 22, 2019 Armin wrote, "Hello Gary - I've reviewed your data. I think your conclusions are correct. Your Joseph must be the Joseph Bruotschi born in 1801 in Dogern." Tragically, Armin died in an automobile accident on February 25, 2021.	BRUTSCHÉ, Joseph (I87190)
850	The Miles Zentmyer family was listed on Vine St. in multiple US Census records, and a published account located the house at the southwest corner of Vine and Oregon Streets. But Schuyler renamed their streets, so Miles' house was located at the corner of present-day 11th and C Streets, and was demolished and replaced by a gas station operated by the Vondracek brothers.
