necessary to document relationships such as marriages when no other
document is available. <u>This Will confirmed the marriage of two brothers</u> <b>
David and Peter Weatherwax to two sisters Helena, and Catharina
Cipperly/Sipperly.</b> No other marriage record has yet been found for them.
Since neither David or Peter could write no family Bible record has
been found to confirm this relationship. What is known is both families
were in fact Palatines arriving in 1710, and both families originally
settled in East Camp (Present day Germantown NY . So this Will is a
legal document confirming the marriages of these two couple..<br />

Great new on <a href="http://ancestry.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ancestry.com.</a>
They have begun posting <b>Wills and Probate records</b> on their website.
This is a great resource for searching family history. A quick check
this morning revealed many states now available, not all yet fully
indexed. I did a quick search and ended up with about 50 pages of Wills
and probate records to add to my database. Many were in far away states
in the West where I would never get to local records to check. These of
photo and microfilm images of ori<span class="text_exposed_show">ginal
documents so are a primary source. Also remember to use the various
spelling variations not just Weatherwax! i.e.
Wetherwax,Witherwax,Weatherwalk,Watherwax etc.</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> For me the good news
was finding the Probate file of J.D. Weatherwax in MT. This files
confirms my belief that J.D.,s son Edward T. Weatherwax failed to
mention or include J.D. Weatherwax's native wife Tailfeather Woman and
their Blackfeet children as lawful heirs to his estate, but claimed the
whole estate for himself and his brother. Not being a lawyer I dont know
if this was legal at that time (1887). Also be aware many of these
files have numerous documents, some as few as one or two. So you will
have to go through and select the most pertinent ones to use.<br /> Good hunting</span></div>

For
those of you who are using the Social Security Application and Claims
index a word of caution!. Be careful and make doubly sure that the data
listed on the right side of the screen i.e. SSDI ,US Census citations
etc is an exact match. I have found many individuals with the same given
name have the wrong Census or SSDI citation attached. Just proceed with
caution. There were over 600 hits when I searched this DB just using
the spelling WEATHERWAX, no other variation that was 35 pages of family
members etc. I am just over half way with 12 more pages to verify. This
is still a solid effort many missed dates,missed children, maiden names
etc have appeared using this tool, as well as data on parents of those
who married a Weatherwax family member.</div>

has placed online the SSACI Social Security Application and claims
Index 1936-2007. Unlike the old SSID (Death index) this new index
includes any claim made to Social Security such as : name change due to
marriage, name of parents,name at application for SSAN, name at death
etc.. This is proving to be an excellent source for maiden names,parents
names DoB, DoD etc. Be aware however that not everyone will appear only
those who made a claim or application of submitted a name change etc
will show. Another new valuable tool in your genealogical research. Don't
have an Ancestry subscription? Go to your local library most now have a
Library subscription you can use for free.Wayne E. Weatherwaxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13291536371834483336noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190552336454323688.post-32138330735072084312015-04-07T11:00:00.001-07:002015-04-07T11:03:38.577-07:00<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

County New York.</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Previous research by Arthur Johnson a descendant of Isaac
Johnson husband of Betsey Weatherwax identified the location of the Land
purchased by Andreas (Andrew) Weatherwax in 1765 as lying under the
existing<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tomhannock Reservoir in
Rensselaer county<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>NY.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This research is not supported by sources in Johnson's
limited published work. He only sites several geologic maps without reference
to why they were selected.. There is little or no correlation with the Known
published Will of Andrew Weatherwax (the immigrant's son) or known locations
and deed of other family members</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Will of Andrew Weatherwax probated in 1784 and found in
Fernow's Calendar of Wills states the following regarding the disposition of
lands and deeds granted to his children.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. "To my <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">son
Hannes- 231 &3/4 acres of land</b> wheron he now lives in Tamhanick."
"He having a deed for the land from me already."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. "To <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Martin
Widderwax</b>- the farmhouse whereon I now dwell in Tamhanick at the extent of
a farm surveyed for Alexander Widderwax containing <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">235 & 1/2 acres</b>."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Although Andrew's Will gives further disposition of lands to
his other children these two provisions of the Will provide sources that lead
to the identifying the current location of the lands in Question.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Clearly based on #2 Martin Widderwax (Weatherwax) inherited
his father Andrew's farm of 235&1/2 acres of land. Subsequent land records
will show the location of this property today.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It must be remembered when doing land searches in New York
that most land was in one huge county called Albany county. Rensselaer County
NY was not broken off from Albany county until 1792. So when researching land
that was purchased or deeded prior to 1792 the Land records of Albany county
must be consulted to provide a continuous chain of ownership for lands being
searched.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Hannes Widderwax
(Weatherwax)</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Johannes or Hanes Weatherwax was the first born son of
Andrew Weatherwax by his 2nd marriage to Jo Anna Edeli. His exact date of birth
is not found, but other documentation indicates a dob of 1740. He married Anna
Premmer abt 1761. He died 11 Mar 1818 in Schaghticoke, Rensselaer co. NY. He
had seven known children. The son Andrew Weatherwax b:9 Sep 1766 provides the
chain of land ownership from his father Hannes to Andrew's son John A.
Weatherwax b:1794. His son was John A. Weatherwax b:4 Sep 1841</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Additionally the approved S.A.R. application of John P.
Weatherwax clearly indicates the land in question remained within the family until<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the last parcel was sold by him in 1972.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Contained in the holdings of the Rensselaer county
Historical society is the family Bible of John A. Weatherwax this Bible
provides a clear consistent line of descent to John Peer Weatherwax b:23 Sep
1904, d:28 Jun 1991. These papers containing over 15 boxes of documents, photos
and family records provide a chain of land ownership that points to the
location of this land on Weatherwax lane in present day Schaghticoke, Rensselaer
co. NY.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Another Deed found Book 330, pg25 indicates that Freeman
Cooper Weatherwax and wife Edith sold some of this land to his brother William
M. Weatherwax on 22 Oct 1910.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Upon Freeman C. Weatherwax's death on 3 Feb 1953 the
remaining parcel of original land passed through inheritance to his son John
Peer Weatherwax and his sisters Louis W. Austin and Esther W. Sykes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Utilizing the 1976 Rensselaer County New York Tax maps for the
town of Schaghticoke <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>indicated <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a
parcel of property on "Weatherwax Lane" , at the junction of Gunbadt
Road. A cross reference to property sales indicated that John P. Weatherwax
sold property in 1972 <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A surveyed plot
map with information confirmed <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that the
property at this location was sold by John Peer Weatherwax and his sisters.
The<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Schaghticoke <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tax Map #041.00 clearly indicates the property
in question and also indicates that the 10.66 acres sold was part of the
original 231+ acres of the original patent. This last parcel of land owned by
Hannes Weatherwax's decendants was sold<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>based on a land survey dated<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>26
Jun 1972 and registered on 11 Jul 1971. The land was sold to James A. and
Caroll Jennison of Schaghticoke.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This then confirms along with other documentation that
Andrew Weatherwax's purchase of 1/3 of a parcel of land <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>encompassing 8602 acres on the East bank of
the Hudson which was transacted in 1765 was in fact located in present day
Schaghticoke, not Pittstown NY. It appears that the Northern boundary was along
Tomhannock creek. Some indications are that the patent continued southward to
the Deep Kill. In total on his death Andrew parceled out a total of <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>about 2800 acres of land, reserving 800 acres
to pay for anything due on the whole patent.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Andrew Weatherwax's
original farm of 235 1/2 acres</b> which was <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">deeded to his son Martin Weatherwax 1741-1813.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Martin Weatherwax

<div class="MsoNormal">
Martin Weatherwax and his brother David Weatherwax
(1747-1831), both these brothers sold their Rensselaer county farms and moved
to Peru, Clinton county NY by 1794. Clearly in 1796 both appear in Road tax
lists for the town of Peru, Clinton co. NY. No record of the sale or transfer
of David's property has yet been found. But evidence exist based on land
purchases in Clinton co NY that both bought 300 acres farms in Peru on the
Western shore of Lake Champlain</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Deed found: Rensselaer
county Deeds Book 1, pg.44 (First Deed book of the new Rensselaer co. NY)</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This deed date <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">29 Nov
1792</b> clearly indicates that the</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Grantor Martinus Weatherwax</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Grantee: Benjamin Holt</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
purchased land on 185 1/2 acres on 29 Nov 1792</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">then on 23 May 1811
Rensselaer county deed book 5, pgs.496-497</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Indicates that land in possession of Benjamin Holt is
conveyed to James Brookins.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here it gets fuzzy because the Court of Common Pleas took a
certification of this transaction by Martin Weatherwax who was then living in
Peru NY. Possibly he traveled to Rensselaer county, but he would die within 2
years and it appears he would not have traveled that far but provided a written
certification to the court.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So further research is needed to identify the land held in
1811 by James Brookins. It is noteworthy that Peter Weatherwax 1752-1805 is
buried in the Brookins Family cemetery on <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>NY route 41 along with<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>James Brookins. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Peters property is rumored to be located near this site
again in Schaghticoke. It seems a reasonable assumption that the reason Peter
Weatherwax was buried in the present day Brookins Family cemetery is that prior
to the land purchase by Brookins that this was in fact a Weatherwax family
cemetery with only the tombstone of Peter Weatherwax remaining in present day.
Why else would Brookins allow Peter Weatherwax to be buried there?</div>

Weatherwax and Constance Dixon</b></u><br />
I am currently searching for J.C. Weatherwax b:1935. He married
Constance L. Dixon in 1956 in San Joaquin co. CA. They had 3 knwon
children. All references to him indicate just the initials "J.C."
Weatherwax.<br /> Constance and children may still be living. But I need
to determine his Given name and middle name. Interestingly enough I
think his parents are Harry H. Weatherwax and wife Rosa A. Fleming of
Iowa. Anyone who can provide clues info etc I would appreciate and help.Wayne E.

Fisher Jr (1972 )<br />
<br />
I downloaded a copy of this to check against my own research. This Genealogy covers The Weatherwax family and its intermarriages with the Langdon and Menefee families.<br />Page: W-1 starts with Joseph C. Weatherwax b: 4 Apr 1797. The error is his place of birth cited as Germany! First Germany did not exist as a country until after 1880. Secondly all known Weatherwax's for the most part with a date of birth after July 1710 were born in NY Colony. Modern day exceptions do occur, but not in the Colonial period. This Joseph descends from the first North American born generation, specifically: Petrus Weatherwax (1752-1805) and wife Catharina Cipperly (Zipperle) (1755-1837). He was born in Schaghticoke, Rensselaer co NY. His father owned a farm there. He married Catharina Grauberger (1801-1884) who was from another Palatine family arriving in 1710. He migrated to Schoharie county NY abt 1824 where he married his wife Both are buried in Slate Cemetery, Schoharie co NY. A good deal of this Genealogy addresses the LANGDON and MENEFEE families. No sources other than personal correspondence is cited.Wayne E. Weatherwaxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13291536371834483336noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190552336454323688.post-85242970449944002002015-03-19T08:41:00.001-07:002015-03-19T08:41:41.755-07:00Frank P. Harvey (1878-1958) married Hattie Belle Weatherwax (1887-1942). Today while verifying Michigan death records I discovered they had an infant son Maxwell Frank Harvey b:6 Jul 1921 in Waverly,Van Buren co MI. Died 8 Jul 1921 and buried in Robinson Cemetery Gobles,Van Buren co MI. This son does not appear on any USC record you must use MI death records to find him. When I went to Find A Grave there was no maker for this son. His parents are there in Robinson Cemetery Van Buren co MI, but not indication of this son. So if you are researching this HARVEY line or the line of her parents: Clement S. Weatherwax (1862-1952) and Jessie M. Boothby (1862-1941) you need to check the websites: (seekingmichigan.com) and (Findagrave.com)Wayne E. Weatherwaxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13291536371834483336noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190552336454323688.post-39273804312036233622015-03-10T18:06:00.000-07:002015-03-10T18:06:47.399-07:00CORRECTION TO Page 314-315 of my book as follows:<br />
I received an Email from Cheryl Dahl questioning errors she has found in the family of <b>#875</b><br />
<b>Jacob L. Weatherwax</b> or Wetherwax. Cheryl had recently found the estate papers of Jacob L. appointing his son John A. Weatherwax and wife Susannah Weatherwax as adminstrators of his estate on 11 Mar.1863. She also provided me with information on his DoD and burial. Find a Grave records confirm his death on 6 Jan 1863 with an age of 44years 2months and 6 days. That gives him a corrected DoB of 1819-1820. He is buried in Spring Mountain Cemetery Monroe Twp. Coshocton co OH. His tombstone indicates a possible burial of his wife Susannah Mccoy sometime after 1900.<br />
No DoD inscription is on the stone, but in USC1900 she is residing as the Widow Sussanah MOON (sp error) with her married daughter Mary Jane Williams. After Jacobs death Sussanah married Silas Moore on 8 Jun 1865 in Coshocton co OH. They later moved to CA where he died and Susannah returned to OH to live with her daughter.<br />
<br />
The confusion arose for me when I found Jacob L. Weatherwax in USC1870 in Portsmouth,Scioto,OH. further research this week confirmed that he was b:6 May 1816 in NY; d:11 May 1875, and is buried in Greenlawn Cemetery Portsmouth,Scioto OH. His wife was listed as Louisia , more research using death records of their children identified her maiden name as WILSON.<br />
<br />
<b>Based on this research and help from Cheryl the following is what the family of Jacob L. Weatherwax should be:</b><br />
<b>wife</b>: Susannah Mccoy b:1821 OH; d: after 1900 Jefferson,Coshocton OH. Possibly buried with husband Jacob in Spring Mountain cemetery.<br />
<b>Children:</b><br />
<b>John A. Weatherwax </b>b:15 Mar 1841 Coshocton,OH;d: Jan 1920. He married:Sevilla Williams 5 Oct 1864 in Coshocton co. OH. both are buried in Spring Mountain cemetery.<br />
<b>Mary Jane Weatherwax</b> b:18 May 1847 Coshocton co OH, d:1936. She married Marion H. Willaims 6 Oct 1864 Coshocton co OH. She is buried in Valley View cemetery, Warsaw, Coshocton co. OH.<br />
<b>Elizabeth Weatherwax</b> b:1849 Monroe twp. Coshocton co OH, d:22 Dec 1863 same location. She is buried in Spring Mountain cemetery,Monroe twp Coshocton OH.<br />
<b>Nancy E. Weatherwax</b> b:1857 Monroe twp, Coshocton,OH, d:6 Jan 1861 same location. She is buried in Spring Mountain cemetery.<br />
<br />
<u><b>That is the entire family for Jacob L. Weatherwax and Susannah Mccoy.</b></u><br />
<br />
<u><b>All other people listed as a part of this family are part of the family of Jacob A. Weatherwax</b></u><br />
b: 6 May 1816,d: 11 May 1875,buried Green Lawn cemetery <u><b><br /></b></u><br />
<b><u>wife:</u> </b><br />
<b>Louisa or Louiza Wilson</b> b:1817 NY, d:<br />
<u><b>Children:</b></u><br />
<b>Sarah Elisabeth Weatherwax</b> b:11 Aug 1839 NY,d:26 Jan 1918;m: <b>Silas Oscar Lose</b>e 30 Jun 1859 Scioto co OH.<br />
<b>Louise Ida Weatherwax b:1851</b><br />
<b>William Fletcher Weatherwax</b> b:2 Feb 1851 (possible twin?) Scioto OH,d: 26 Mar 1832 Portmouth,Scioto OH. m: <b>Margaret Ann Adderly</b> c1871. Buried Green Lawn Cemetery<br />
<b>Cornelia Weatherwax</b> b:1853 Scioto OH<br />
<b>Jacob Weatherwax</b> b:1857 Portmouth Scioto OH; d: before USC 1860<br />
<b>Franklin J. Weatherwax</b> b:1858 Portsmouth,Scioto OH,d: 21 Apr 1936 Covington Kenton,KY,<br />
buried: Highland Cemetery Covington,Kenton,KY. he married twice :(1) C1878 to <b>Melinda unknown maiden name</b>. She died 1904 (2) <b>Melissa Kidde</b>r m:27 Sep 1904 in Covington KY.<br />
<b>Harry A. Weatherwax </b>b:27 Nov 1859 Portsmouth Scioto,OH. d:10 Jun 1947 same location. He married <b>Mary Emma Grady</b> on 11 Feb 1878 on Scioto OH.<br />
<br />
So thanks to the research of Cheryl Dahl we now have an accurate picture of these two families.<br />
<br />
Now for the hard part who is the father of Jacob A. Weatherwax? Supposidly he was born in Saratoga Springs NY, but I can find no record of him there. Various online trees and FGS do not shed a hint as to his parentage. When the snows clear I will have to go to Saratoga co NY and see what I can find.<br />
Anyone with info on this Jacob A. Weatherwax please contact me.<br />

Ken Weatherwax more famously known for his role of Pugsly in the Adams Family TV Series died at his California home.<br />
Son of: William M. Weatherwax (1904-1986) and wife Margaret M. Keeler. Both the Keeler and Weatherwax families were in various parts of the entertainment industry. Margaret's sister Ruby Keeler was a well know dancer and movie actor. Ken's family were of course famous TV and Movie animal trainers, and his Grandfather Walter S. Weatherwax was in the early motion picture industry in California. It appears from published obits online that his mother had a prior marriage and a son named Joseph Donald Vieira who is listed and Ken's half brother. I know Ken had a website that I used to check on every once in awhile, don't know if it is still active. I don't know if Kens mother is still living, but did find death and burial records for his father. Always a loss for even distant family members passing.Wayne E.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Previous research by Arthur Johnson a descendant of Isaac
Johnson husband of Betsey Weatherwax identified the location of the Land
purchased by Andreas (Andrew) Weatherwax in 1765 as lying under the
existing<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tomhannock Reservoir in
Rensselaer county<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>NY.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This research is not supported by sources in Johnson's
limited published work. He only sites several geologic maps without reference
to why they were selected.. There is little or no correlation with the Known
published Will of Andrew Weatherwax (the immigrant's son) or known locations
and deed of other family members</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Will of Andrew Weatherwax probated in 1784 and found in
Fernow's Calendar of Wills states the following regarding the disposition of
lands and deeds granted to his children.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. "To my <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">son
Hannes- 231 &3/4 acres of land</b> wheron he now lives in Tamhanick."
"He having a deed for the land from me already."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. "To <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Martin
Widderwax</b>- the farmhouse whereon I now dwell in Tamhanick at the extent of
a farm surveyed for Alexander Widderwax containing <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">235 & 1/2 acres</b>."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Although Andrew's Will gives further disposition of lands to
his other children these two provisions of the Will provide sources that lead
to the identifying the current location of the lands in Question.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Clearly based on #2 Martin Widderwax (Weatherwax) inherited
his father Andrew's farm of 235&1/2 acres of land. Subsequent land records
will show the location of this property today.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It must be remembered when doing land searches in New York
that most land was in one huge county called Albany county. Rensselaer County
NY was not broken off from Albany county until 1792. So when researching land
that was purchased or deeded prior to 1792 the Land records of Albany county
must be consulted to provide a continuous chain of ownership for lands being
searched.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Hannes Widderwax
(Weatherwax)</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Johannes or Hanes Weatherwax was the first born son of
Andrew Weatherwax by his 2nd marriage to Jo Anna Edeli. His exact date of birth
is not found, but other documentation indicates a dob of 1740. He married Anna
Premmer abt 1761. He died 11 Mar 1818 in Schaghticoke, Rensselaer co. NY. He
had seven known children. The son Andrew Weatherwax b:9 Sep 1766 provides the
chain of land ownership from his father Hannes to Andrew's son John A.
Weatherwax b:1794. His son was John A. Weatherwax b:4 Sep 1841</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Additionally the approved S.A.R. application of John P.
Weatherwax clearly indicates the land in question remained within the family until<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the last parcel was sold by him in 1972.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Contained in the holdings of the Rensselaer county
Historical society is the family Bible of John A. Weatherwax this Bible
provides a clear consistent line of descent to John Peer Weatherwax b:23 Sep
1904, d:28 Jun 1991. These papers containing over 15 boxes of documents, photos
and family records provide a chain of land ownership that points to the
location of this land in present day Schaghticoke, Rensselaer co. NY.</div>

Another Deed found Book 330, pg25 indicates that Freeman
Cooper Weatherwax and wife Edith sold some of this land to his brother William
M. Weatherwax on 22 Oct 1910.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Upon Freeman C. Weatherwax's death on 3 Feb 1953 the
remaining parcel of original land passed through inheritance to his son John
Peer Weatherwax and his sisters Louis W. Austin and Esther W. Sykes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Utilizing the 1976 Rensselaer County New York Tax maps for
the town of Schaghticoke <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>indicated <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a
parcel of property on "Weatherwax Lane" , at the junction of Gunbadt
Road. A cross reference to property sales indicated that John P. Weatherwax
sold property in 1972 <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A surveyed plot
map with information confirmed <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that the
property at this location was sold by John Peer Weatherwax and his sisters.
The<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Schaghticoke <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tax Map #041.00 clearly indicates the property
in question and also indicates that the 10.66 acres sold was part of the
original 231+ acres of the original patent. This last parcel of land owned by
Hannes Weatherwax's decendants was sold<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>based on a land survey dated<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>26
Jun 1972 and registered on 11 Jul 1971. The land was sold to James A. and Caroll
Jennison of Schaghticoke.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This then confirms along with other documentation that
Andrew Weatherwax's purchase of 1/3 of a parcel of land <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>encompassing 8602 acres on the East bank of
the Hudson which was transacted in 1765 was in fact located in present day
Schaghticoke, not Pittstown NY. It appears that the Northern boundary was along
Tomhannock creek. Some indications are that the patent continued southward to
the Deep Kill. In total on his death Andrew parceled out a total of <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>about 2800 acres of land, reserving 800 acres
to pay for anything due on the whole patent.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Andrew Weatherwax's

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Martin Weatherwax
bap:13 Jan 1741; d:27 May 1813.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Martin Weatherwax and his brother David Weatherwax
(1747-1831), both these brothers sold their Rensselaer county farms and moved
to Peru, Clinton county NY by 1794. Clearly in 1796 both appear in Road tax
lists for the town of Peru, Clinton co. NY. No record of the sale or transfer
of David's property has yet been found. But evidence exist based on land purchases
in Clinton co NY that both bought 300 acres farms in Peru on the Western shore
of Lake Champlain</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Deed found: Rensselaer
county Deeds Book 1, pg.44 (First Deed book of new Rensselaer co. NY)</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This deed date <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">29 Nov

<div class="MsoNormal">
Grantor Martinus Weatherwax</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gratee: Benjamin Holt</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">then on 23 May 1811
Rensselaer county deed book 5, pgs.496-497</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Indicates that land in possession of Benjamin Holt is
conveyed to James Brookins.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here it gets fuzzy because the Court of Common Pleas took a
certification of this transaction by Martin Weatherwax who was then living in
Peru NY. Possibly he traveled to Rensselaer county, but he would die within 2
years and it appears he would not have traveled that far but provided a written
certification to the court.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So further research is needed to identify the land held in
1811 by James Brookins. It is noteworthy that Peter Weatherwax 1752-1805 is
buried in the Brookins Family cemetery on rte 41 along with several James
Brookins family members. Peters property is rumored to be located near this
site again in Schaghticoke.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So why was Peter Weatherwax buried in the Brookins family
cemetery? I suspect this was a small Weatherwax family cemetery before the land
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>was purchased <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>by James Brookins. That would logically allow
Peter Weatherwax to be buried there in 1805. Peter had no known relationship to
the Brookins family. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Two separate visits
to this cemetery show only a marker for Peter who is listed in the D.A.R. Patriots
marker listings. All other possibly Weatherwax markers could not be found.</div>

My local Genealogy Society had an interesting meeting online last night with Dear Myrtle. Utilizing Google Plus and computers we had an interactive experience with Myrtle who was in Salt Lake and or society which was in Agawam,MA. Additionally another person from NJ who is Myrtle's cousin was on line as well. We went through 12 items that all of us need to do to improve and preserve and share our Genealogical research etc. This was our 2nd interactive meeting previously we did one on Photographs and Genealogy erc.Wayne E.

Weatherwax Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy<strong>A Brief Bio of Hazlett Paul Weatherwax</strong>.<br />
<br /><br />
Born 25 Oct 1907 in Honolulu Hawaii (Territory) to Charles S. Weatherwax and Agnes M. Bookstover. His father migrated to Hawaii (Territory) on 7 Nov 1891 traveling from San Francisco CA onboard the S.S. Australia. The passenger manifest indicates he was a Photographer.<br />
Hazlett grew up in Hawaii and attended St. Louis College in Honolulu prior to his appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy in 1927. He attended Annapolis and graduated in June of 1931 with the Commission of Ensign U.S. Navy.<br />
His first duty station was on the Destroyer USS Childs. In 1932 he was transferred to the USS Leary.<br />
Then reassigned to the Battleship Mississippi as a Division officer. From 1937 through 1939 he studied Ordnance and Engineering at the US Naval Postgraduate school at Annapolis, MD. When World War II broke out he was stationed aboard the USS Alexander Dallas.<br />
In March of 1942 he was assigned to the Fore River Yards of Bethlehem Steel Company in Massachusetts. He reported to assist in the fitting out and commissioning of the Battleship USS Massachusetts (BB-59) As a member of the original crew he became what is know in the Navy as a "Plankowner" After shakedown operation Massachusetts departed for French Morocco, where "Mamie" participated in the action at Casablanca. After being damaged Mamie returned to the U.S. for repairs and was then reassigned to the Pacific Fleet and took part in operations against the IJA/IJN at Russell Island, Munda, New Georgia, Solomon Islands and the Gilbert Islands.<br />
<br /><br />
Hazlett served in many other Commands and positions in the U.S. Navy. He is the highest ranking member of the Weatherwax family within the U.S. Military. He was promoted to Rear Admiral on July 18,1958. He would continue to serve in many different capacities until July 1,1966 when he retired from the U.S. Navy. He retired to his home on the Potomic River in Alexandria,VA. Less than a year later he would die of a heart attack while working on his boat.<br />
From 1711 when our immigrant ancestor Johan Henrich C. Wiederwach volunteered for the Militia in the Palatines to Canada campaign until present day our family has fought and died for future generations to preserve our nation for all Americans. In every Armed conflict of War there have been Weatherwax family members ready to defend and protect our nation, and today many still serve proudly preserving our family heritage in service to our country.Wayne E.

However a small bio with each individuals service, awards, and campaigns would add to the updated family history. From lowest private to Rear Admiral Hazelett P. Weatherwax the family has served in almost every War or Campaign. Some info on WWII and Korea has already been collected, but more from WWII until present day is needed.

<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><strong><u>The research on the Weatherwax Ancestral land</u></strong> purchased by Andreas Weatherwax in 1765 continues. Right now I do know that his son Martinus or Martin Weatherwax sold the farm he inherited from his father to James Brookins. Deeds found in Troy NY this summer indicate that in November 1792 Martin Weatherwax sold 185 acres of land for 600 pounds colonial money. This land was located along the Main roa<span class="text_exposed_show">d in Schaghticoke. Today this is NY Rte.40 located between Speigletown and Melrose. Since both Martinus and his brother Hannes both owned property with deed records originating in Albany co NY, and later deed records located in Rensselaer co NY. This pretty much is convincing proof that the original lands were in the Schaghticoke area, not at the Tomahannock Reservoir. It appears that the research cited in my book by R. Arthur Johnson (deceased) contains errors in actual location of these lands. Additionally Petrus or Peter Weatherwax is buried in the Brookins Family cemetery on NY Rte.40. I visited his grave this summer. The Cemetery is on a hillside on Rte. 40. The location of the Brookins family cemetery is adjacent to what was known locally as the Brookins family home . The Brookins family lands passed on to his son Wooster Brookins.<br /> The sale of the property by Martin Weatherwax in Nov of 1792 matches with his migration to Clinton co NY by 1794 where he purchased a 300 acres farm adjoining his brother David Weatherwax's 300 acre farm. Also joining the migration was Benjamin Weldon and his wife. The Weldon's and Weatherwax's were members of Gilead Lutheran Church where their children were baptized. And Benjamin Weldon's wife was Hannah Goewey the sister of Martin Weatherwax's wife Elizabeth Goewey. When Martins wife Elizabeth died abt 1800 he remained widowed until 1805. When Benjamin Weldon died in 1803, Martin was appointed executor of Benjamin's estate. In 1805 Martin married Hannah Goewey. Marriage records were found in the records of First Lutheran church of Albany for the 1805 marriage</span></span></div>
