Arthur William Burgoyne Watherwax (Weatherwax) b: 17 Aug 1895 in Hempstead,Nassau co NY.
He was the son of Joseph Burgoyne Weatherwax (1847-1928) and Mary Elizabeth "Cordelia" Roberts (1852-1916)
He married 1st abt 1916 to Della L. Holbert probably in Winfield,Marion co WV.
Their children were
1. Arthur William Watherwax Jr. b:8 Oct 1921 TN;m: Dorothy J. Ohrman
2. Mary Catherine Watherwax b:1925TN;m: Thomas Hurst Jr.
3. Richard G. Watherwax b:1935 Allegheny,PA
It appears he and Della divorce abt 1935

He married 2nd Elizabeth Waid in Jan 1937 in E. Orange NJ
Their children were:
1.Amelie "Tish" Watherwax b:21 Oct 1937 E. Orange NJ
2. Georgia Waid Watherwax b:7 Aug 1941 E. Orange,NJ;m: William Black in FL

In the R.I. census of 1915 we find Arthur as a recruit for the U.S. Navy at the Naval Training Center in Newport R.I. For part of his life he worked as a Clerk for the Southern Railroad. Arthur d: 15 Mar 1970 in Sarasota co. FL. Arthur appears in USC1920 in Norfolk,VA;USC1930 Mckeesport,Allegheny,PA, USC1940 E. Orange,Essex,NJ. In 1942 he registered for the Draft WWII while living in E. Orange NJ
wife Elizabeth Waid b: 19 Dec 1904 in Jefferson AL;d: Dec 2001 in Sarasota co. FL
Now as ongoing research continues I hope to add more information on this family. I do have the ancestors back to 1710 and some descendants already. I do know that there was a conflict between Arthur  and his brother Charles over the proper spelling of their surname. Charles used Weatherwax and Arthur used Watherwax.

John Emory Weatherwax b:23Nov1844Rensselaer co NY was the son of John Weatherwax and Sarah Lamphere. His parents migrated to Michigan by 1860 settling in Macomb co. MI. By 1878 John had migrated to Panama. Lancaster co. NE where he married Susan Isabell Weaverling. They married on 23 Apr 1878 (NE Marriage records). They had a son named Burdette Emery Weatherwax b: 17 Apt 1882 in Beatrice,Gage co NE. Shortly after the birth of this son his wife Susan died. He then married Susan's sister Margaret E. Weaverling on 10 Aug 1882 in Panama Lancaster NE (NE Marriage records). Together they  had three daughters: Susan Clair b:1882,Jennette K. b:1884;and Zima Zoe b:1885. Then either Margaret died or they divorced before 1887. On 19 May 1887 John married for the third time to Elizabeth Rutter, dau of  Oliver W. Rutter and Mary E. Womansee.

John appears in USC1910 in Kansas City MO living with son Burdette Emery Weatherwax. He died there on 28 Jan 1924 (MO Death certificate). He is buried in Forest Hill Cemetery same location. Johns parents remain a mystery to me still. His father was b: c1807 and died after USC1870 in Branch co MI. Some of their children and spouse migrated on to Michigan and Missouri along with their parents, but I am still trying to determin John's parents.

Sarah Katherine Weatherwax pg421 of the Weatherwax Genealogy

The following corrections should be noted based on more research.
Her Husband Samuel T. Simmons moved the family to Webster co Iowa in 1860. There Samuel enlisted in D co. 16th Iowa inf. Regiment (abt 1862). He mustered out of service on or about 22 Feb 1864.
When his wife Sarah K. Weatherwax applied for her widows pension she uses this date as his mustered out date. She applied for the Widows pension on  21 Mar 1867, leading me to believe he was granted an Invalid pension on 22 Feb 1864, and died before the 21 Mar 1867 date of application. Clearly he was receiving $8.00 monthly as a pension until her application in 1867. In the application she clearly lists each child with dob as follows:
1. Eva A. Simmons b:Feb 26,1851
2.Augusta C. Simmons b: Apr 21,1853
3. George L. Simmons b: Jan 18,1855
4. Jesse Ionia Simmons b: Jul 19,1857
5. Clara A. Simmons b: Jul 20,1859 All above born in Branch co MI
6. John T. Simmons b: Jul 201861 Webster co IA
.
Sarh remained in Webster co IA in USC  1870 still in Sumner,Webster,IA. By USC 1900 she has returned to Branch co MI where she appears with her father in Quincy,Branch co MI ( Sarah Simon) w/ John T. Weatherwax. In USC 1910 she appears for the last time in quincy,MI. I was not able to locate her in USC1880 anywhere. She is buried in Quincy,Branch,MI in Lakeview Cemetery.
For those who are interested I do have marriages for most of her children etc. email me if you want or need that info. It will be reflected in my planned 10 year update to the Weatherwax Genealogy due in 2020 or thereabouts if I am still going strong.

Weatherwax and Cipperly families

During my work on The Weatherwax Genealogy 1710-1930 it became clear there were multi generational marriages and connections to the Sipperly/Cipperly family. I saved this data as my research grew and now am working on a Sipperly/Cipperly Genealogy. This other Palatine family started with the family of  Bernhard Zipperle (Hunters list #844). Like our Weatherwax family numerous spelling variations and miss spellings of the surname exist. Migration patterns for this family as very similar to the Weatherwax family as well.
If you have any Sipperly/Cipperly data you are willing to share or a question etc feel free to share them here. I am also working on the Cipperly/Sipperly message boards at Ancestry.com. Right now I believe I have over 2000 of this family identified and linked back to Bernhard. This will be a much smaller book than the Weatherwax book. I may also start another project in the future on the Grauberger family.

1940 U.S. Census release day

Today at 9am DST NARA will release the 1940 US Census for use. Groups such as FamilySearch.org will be downloading the images for indexing. This should take most of the day for the over 3 million images involved. Volunteer indexers are needed to create the name index for easy searching of this census. You can volunteer at Familysearch.org to help index this census.
 For us old timers finding our ancestors in USC1940 is just like using Microfilm and viewing a geographic location page by page. Those newer to Genealogy will find this method tedious and probably tiresome. Hence the need for Volunteers to index the census. Join the effort anf sign up at Familysearch.org to index. It is easy and you can do as little or much as you want.
Good luck finding our ancestors

Children of Andrew Weatherwax 1700-1784 and Anna Barbara Loscher

The last child born to this couple was
Andrew Weatherwax b: 16 May 1737 (Family Bible record) he was baptized on 22 May 1739 in St. Paul's Lutheran Church Red Hook NY. He married Catharina Reisdorff on 17 Dec 1762 at the Albany Reformed Church in Albany NY. This couple had ten known children, all grew to adulthood and married. He appears on the Tax rolls of 23 Oct 1779 for Schaghticoke, but later moved to the area of present day East Greenbush, Rensselaer co. NY. His family farm still exists and is the site of the Weatherwax Family cemetery.(located on private property owned by the Bink family)
He and many of his family area all buried there. There is a listing on this cemetery on the USGENWEB page for Rensselaer co NY. He wrote a Will on 1 Feb 1821 (a transcription is on the Rensselaer county website). In the History of Sand Lake records there is a letter he wrote dated 2 Feb 1824 indicating he wants to manumet his slave named Jacob Brown, age 21yrs,born unto him a slave. So this is the 2nd known instance of Slave ownership in the family history. It is worth noting that NY passed a law requiring all slave be freed by 1826. Also note that he indicates that Jacob was born unto him a slave indicating he may in fact had at least Jacobs mother as a slave as well!
Andrew died 16 May 1824, and is buried on his farm. His Will written 1 Feb 1821 and probated 22 May 1824 is available.
This was the last known child born to Andrew Weatherwax and his first wife Anna Barbara Loscher. Note that although he was born in 1737, it was not until 1739 two years later that he was baptized. I believe his mother died shortly after his birth and that the baptismal record was after her death. No proof of that but it fits Andrews next marriage and children.

If you need information on her children and their marriages etc I do have that in my files.

Children of Andrew Weatherwax 1700-1784 and Anna Barbara Loscher

The Children of Andrew Weatherwax (1700-1784) and 1st wife Anna Barbara Loscher.

I will now give brief information on these first born in N. America ancestors.

Johan Sebastian Weatherwax b:17 Oct 1725 probably in or near Rhinebeck NY. He was baptized on 28 Nov 1725 at St. Pauls lutheran church,Ulster co. NY. He was confirmed on 17 Jun 1744 at Loonenberg Lutheran church in Rhinebeck NY. He appears on the tax rolls in Feb of 1748 Dutchess county tax lists. He married: Ursula Barbara Laun on 5 Mar 1747 in St. Peters Church. They had no known or documented children. He died sometime before 15 Oct 1789 in Rhinebeck
Because NY had no vital record laws his date of death was determined by the date of his wife's Will 15 Oct 1789 Dutchess co Wills. His wife Ursula died 18 Mar 1792 based on the cemetery records of St. Peters Church cemetery Dutchess co NY.
You will find my transcription of her Will on the SAMPUBCO website. She is cited in the Will as: Ursula Barwen Widerwax of Rhinebeck NY. Since she had no children as heirs the bulk of her estate went to siblings and their children. What is striking about this Will is her disposition of her three slaves. The first known incident of slave ownership within our family. She directs that James,Pith,Lurres, are to be manumeted or freed upon whatever the law will allow or when of marriageable age. She also indicates that her heirs must free them.
My next post will cover singly each child of this first marriage

Johan Andreas Wiederwach 1700-1784

Johan Andreas Widerwachs son of the immigrant later known simply as Andrew Weatherwax was born in the Rhine Palatinate around 1700. No known birth record was found for him. He with his parents and siblings traveled down the Rhine river to Rotterdam in 1709, eventually arriving in England. The Palatines were loaded aboard ships in Dec of 1709 in England and waited until April of 1710 before the fleet departed for NY Colony. Our family arrived in NY in Jul of 1710.  Over 700 of the Palatines died either enroute or awaiting departure from England. All the Palatines were placed in a Camp on Nutting Island until the fall of 1710. In the Fall of 1710 they were again placed on ships for settlement in the Hudson Valley. Two camp were set up. West Camp was located near present day Sugerties NY in Ulster county, and East Camp was located in present day Germantown NY in Columbia co. Our family was settled in East Camp.
Andrew's father Henrich lost his 1st wife and one son either during the voyage or shortly after arrival in NY. He would re-marry in 1711 and start a second family in NY.
Andrew the oldest would eventually become the largest progenitator of Weatherwax descendants. By his two marriages he would produce 19 children. Most but not all Weatherwax's will descend from his line.
Andrew would marry first Anna Barbara Loscher on 9 Nov 1724 at the Kingston Reformed church in Ulster co NY. Together they would produce 9 children. After their marriage they lived in Manor Livingston for a short time by 1726 he would settle in Red Hook village and become one of the original settlers of present day Red Hook, Dutchess co NY. He would remain there in Red Hook until abt 1764.
In 1737 his last child by his wife Anna Barbara Loscher was born, shortly thereafter it appears she died. He was left with 9 children to raise. Sometime about
1738/39 he would marry for a second time to Joanna Edeli. No record of this marriage has been found, but based on other evidence this marriage probably took place in Red Hook or Rhinebeck NY.
By his second marriage her would have an additional 10 children.
In 1764/1765 Andrew had viewed some available land near Tomahannock Creek in Present day Pittstown,Renssselaer co NY. On 20 Jul 1765 Andrew negotiated the purchase of 1/3 interest in a plot of land covering 8,602 acres located along Tomahannock Creek. For this he paid the sum of 1320 pounds colonial currency.
Ref: Deed book 9, pg 175 Albany County deeds. It is evident that he had been in the area prior to this purchase. He then moved all of his 2nd family north to Tomahannock Creek property.
On 28 Jul of 1766 Andrew placed an advertisment in Weyman's New York Gazette
indicating he had land and lots for sale, he is referenced as Andries Wiederwax in this publication.
Most of the children by his first marriage would remain in Dutchess,Ulster counties of NY, a few like last son Andrew b:1737 would settle north in Rensselaer co.
It is worth remembering that except for Ulster and Dutchess counties NY all other areas were part of the huge county called Albany. In fact Rensselaer county would not be established until 1792.
Andrew wrote a Will dated 18 Jan 1780 while at Tomahannock Creek. This will appears in Fernows Calendar of Wills. His Will was probated on 10 May 1784 in  court at Albany NY. No exact date of death has been found for Andrew but it most probably  it would be April or early May 1784.
Land record research by Arthur Johnson (deceased) provided additional documentation of the Tomahannock Creek property. Today all this land is under the Tomahannock Reservior which is located on NY rte 7 in Pittstown NY. This Reservior serves the city of Troy NY. I have been to this location many times and no identifieble gravesite has been found for Andrew, it is either underwater or unmarked. The only identifiable cemetery located on the S.E. side of the Reservior contains no Weatherwax tombstones.
It is also worth noting that the Tomahannock area was sometimes consider a part of either Schaghticoke or Pittstown NY.
