William Tennant

bloyd13 — 2018-12-29 22:19:12Z

Looking for information on William Tennant (Tennent or Tynett), an indentured servant to Charles Gordon. Both arrived in Perth Amboy, New Jersey in late 1684 aboard the ship "Thomas and Benjamin". from Scotland. William was married to Mary Stillwell (Stillwille). Probably married after arriving in New Jersey. I have information from the New Jersey State Archives and the NEw Jersey Genealogical Society.

Re: Was Charles Anderson Strickland an indentured servant???

deeflint01 — 2018-09-25 14:16:21Z

He shows up on the 1850 census in Tattnall County Georgia and his birthplace is listed as Tattnall.

I doubt if he was an indentured servant as in the south slavery had pretty much eliminated the interest in having indentured servants. The listing as "servant" in 1860 probably means that this was just an ordinary paid job.

Bearer Family Reunion Photo from 1929 in Carrolltown

B_Bearer — 2018-09-25 01:07:02Z

The attached photo was taken by M.J. Farabaugh on Sept. 1, 1929. Not sure exactly where the photo was taken but it is presumed to be in Carrolltown. I am hoping Bearer family members can identify as many of the people in the photo. I have taken a stab at labeling a few people - some identified by relatives, others by matching with other photos on Ancestry.
If there is a better way to share this and identify people please make suggestions.

Was Charles Anderson Strickland an indentured servant???

jeannelynne — 2018-09-07 12:16:37Z

HELP Please!!! I think I have a clue to the mystery that was my 3rd Great-Grand Father, Charles Anderson Strickland (1829-1902) I found that he listed his occupation as "servant" in a Georgia Census 1860. Charles and his wife, Tabitha "Matilda" Litha White, and several of their children:
Tabbitha Strickland age: 23
Matilda Strickland age: 1
Sarah Strickland age: 5
Martha Strickland age: 2
Soloman Strickland age: 3 months
Were listed in this census and the next one I found Charles lists his occupation as "farmer". How can I find where he came from? Found hints that list his birth as 30 JUL 1829 and found him on Find a Grave. I have a fourth cousin who has been searching for answers for 30 years?!! Please can ANYONE help!!! Thanks

Re: Philadelphia Indentured Servants - Joseph Buhrer and family - bound to George Mower

Looking for George Mower in Southampton Township, Cumberland County, PA around 1817

Re: Convicts sent to Virginia

Are you still needing some direction? I found info about my ancestor who was sent here in 1721. Let me know, if still looking. --Janet

Philadelphia Indentured Servants - Joseph Buhrer and family - bound to George Mower

B_Bearer — 2018-05-30 20:57:21Z

Joseph Buhrer (later Bearer) arrived in Philadelphia with his wife Othilia and 3 children, all are recorded in the Farley Grubb book, arriving about Nov 27, 1817. They were contracted to a man named Woodbridge Odlin then those contracts were assigned to George Mower of Southampton Township, Cumberland County.
I am hoping to locate George Mower's farm, any information on Mr. Mower and any additional information of the Buhrer (Bearer) family and their length of servitude. Eventually Joseph and Othilia settled in Cambria County around 1840. I am trying to trace their journey from Philadelphia to Cambria between 1817-1840.

Thomas DONALD -Scot POW to York Co. Maine mid 1600's

MoodieScotIre — 2018-02-15 15:48:15Z

Does anyone have any further info on the Thomas DONALD (that spelling but more often in Maine seen spelled as Donnell), who was stated as being a Scot POW sent to the US, who ended up in York Co., Maine? My 5th grt. grandmother's maiden name was spelled the same way in York Co., Maine and my dna is showing links to several MacDonald's, Donnell's, O'Donnell's etc. and also that my line goes back to Inverness, Scotland which is where one of the branches of the Clan Donald was from.
Thank you

Re: Looking for Carnahans from Scotland Indentured Servants

7057B — 2017-08-04 18:59:05Z

Thank you. I have head from someone who said my Carnahan's were not indentured servants. I never even knew the word when I first heard via family lore that my aunts claimed this. They have been gone for more than 65 years so I have no one to ask. Thank you for your reply

Re: Looking for Carnahans from Scotland Indentured Servants

deeflint01 — 2017-08-02 10:52:05Z

And sometimes they indentured themselves of their own free will to be able to take passage. Other times, parents indentured their children because they were too poor to keep the family together. No doubt some were kidnapped or stowaways but not all.

Re: Philipp Riesemann/reesman/reisman

Sara_Noonan — 2016-08-03 02:04:26Z

WOW! Great information! Would you happen to have any information on Rotterdam in 1771? I've been looking for my Johann Casper Lorentz who sailed on the Tyger from Rotterdam, landing in Philadelphia on Nov 19, 1771. Sorry, didn't mean to jump your post.... I was looking at your other posts - you are very knowledgeable in areas that I'm not!

Thanks Randall :)

Re: Philipp Riesemann/reesman/reisman

randall_delaware — 2016-08-03 01:25:09Z

The southwest Rhineland is where the German Lutherans or Palatines fleeing their war torn land in 1709 would have come. The reason I think this person to be Palatine is the Dutch port used to leave Germany. Fleeing the Catholics by heading north to Protestant Netherlands would be the best route out of Germany. The southwest portion of the Rhineland I believe is directly south of the Netherlands. The Palatines were given land in New York state by the Mohawks or settled in the Limerick area of Ireland and a couple other locations.

Re: Looking for Carnahans from Scotland Indentured Servants

randall_delaware — 2016-08-03 01:17:10Z

Yes, it is true that people were kidnapped and brought to America. I ran across a Walter Merryman of a Presbyterian family from Ireland who was brought to America in the early 1700's. Going on memory from reading through books at the New England Historical & Genealogical Society in the 1980's in Boston, I believed that the ship needed sailors so he was taken from near the docks and then had to work 7 years to repay the Maine farmer who paid his passage. The other memory is that people stole away on ships and then were indentured to paid for passage.

Herbert Edwin Rea

lia1432 — 2015-09-25 07:39:50Z

Hi

Herbert Edwin Rea was an apprentice who was indentured in merchant navy UK at the age of 14 on 27th May 1880 for 4 years. Port of enrolment was Hull in England. His masters surname was Croft. I would like to know what ship he would have boarded and if there is anymore info about him on the enrolment records. Also, trying to find out if this is the same Herbert Edwin Rea who ended up living in Samoa for a few years and had a family in Samoa. Any information would be great. Trying to learn more about where Herbert Edwin Rea came from. Thanks.

Convicts sent to Virginia

camsgran93 — 2015-09-18 04:14:42Z

I had an ancestor that was convicted in England and sent to Virginia for 14 years. He did not survive the sentence and died after 7 years. Does anyone know if and where there would be records for the convicts once they arrived in the US

Re: Ridley Fowell

suemccall20 — 2015-04-11 22:00:45Z

Thank you for your message. Ridley is a descendant of Richard Fowell and Elizabeth Gooch's son Gooch and I am a descendant of their son Edward who moved to Australia. Richard and Elizabeth Fowell were my 3rd great grandparents. I live in Sydney Australia. Please pass my email on to your neighbour. suemccall20@gmail.com

I am hoping to get to England in a couple of years, to visit some of my ancestor's home towns.

Kind regards,

Sue

Re: Ridley Fowell

thompsonbyrom22 — 2015-04-11 21:51:56Z

Hello
I had been researching the Fowell family for my close friend whose family name was Fowell. You are correct, Ridley's wife was named Florence Nightingale, after she died Ridley remarried a Harriet. Ridley and Florence did have a son named Sinclair. He is the grandfather of my friend. The Fowells lived in Wallasey.

Re: Philipp Riesemann/reesman/reisman

Jaclyn2012 — 2013-04-02 00:08:08Z

No -- but I continue to be hopeful. Were you ever able to find anything? I was thinking you were the person who was going to Hamburg. Were you ever able to find a copy of the clue you found about Hamburg? Also, I'd love to be able to place you in my mind on my family tree - what line does Kenneth Earl descend from? I'm Philip, Philip Jr, John, GW, David K, George, Jack, William, me.

Re: Philipp Riesemann/reesman/reisman

Jaclyn2012 — 2013-03-31 00:25:40Z

Hi Thomas Arnot was the Master of the ship - Minerva. Philip did not actually stow away on the ship -- he "paid" for his passage by being indentured at the end of the voyage -- it was a common form of payment back then. Given the size of the ship and the number of passenger sold at the end of the voyage I am quite certain he was not a stow away.

Re: Ridley Fowell

suemccall20 — 2015-04-09 23:07:01Z

HI

I am also interested in the same family. I notice his wife's name was actually Florence Nightingale Sinclair, I thought he had children Ridley Buxton, Sinclair Fowell and Florence Winifred Fowell?

Re: Philipp Riesemann/reesman/reisman

djfaught58 — 2013-04-09 22:48:08Z

Where did this ship come from, where did it land? In your list is an Andreas Vogt. His family came to the states via England in or around 1733. So, this is confusing me.

Re: Status of Infants born to those indentured?

kunochione — 2013-09-27 16:27:27Z

If so those records probably won't be digital, so a long slog through probate records is in order. Some states have old court (listed under probate, court, adoption, guardian, will, etc.) listed by state, some by county, and some are individual towns and cities. Find out how Maryland lists it, by the address known, and there's your starting place. I'm on a kind of similar court records search in MA & RI. Good Luck!

Re: How do you document "Indenture Servants" believe Buffalo, NY, USA Don't believe this to be mine Elizabeth...

JayStoneTX — 2012-08-08 17:22:28Z

Time periods don't really match, because I found her listed in the US Federal Census for 1900, 1920, & 1930. Immigration should be before 1884.

Re: How do you document "Indenture Servants" believe Buffalo, NY, USA

JayStoneTX — 2012-08-01 19:18:33Z

Here is what I have for information...
She was born Scotland 1 Sep 1868.
US Federal Census records her to have come to the US between 1880-1884.
I assume she married the year before her first child born about 1895.

How do you document "Indenture Servants" believe Buffalo, NY, USA

JayStoneTX — 2012-04-26 14:12:26Z

I understand Elizabeth GALLOWAY came to the USA as an indentured servant, have no idea to what family she served, just that it should have been between 1880/1884. She was from Ireland or Scotland have not yet been able to document for sure which.
She married William Henry FARR whom I believe was born 7 May 1859, Hamilton, Hamilton Twp., Wentworth County, Ontario, Canada (son of James FARR and Mary Ann STEVENS, both born England) and between 1892/1895. They settled in Buffalo, Erie Co., New York, USA.
Would love to figure out for sure when she came to the USA and what family she served.

I have in the past found, Ship Records from during these times, at the Library. It will have the names of passengers & if Indentured it will list the name of whom they are Indentured to & for how long. A lot of people brought their servents with them also. Hope this cam help.

Philipp Riesemann/reesman/reisman

C_Unitan — 2012-04-21 14:38:07Z

does anyone know where philip riesemann was born in germany? Does anyone have the record of being an indentured servant to Thomas Arnot in approx 1771 when he hid aboard the ship Minerva from Rotterdam? I am trying to pinpoint his birthplace and believe it to be North Rhine-Westphalia, germany so I can visit the area in July.

Let me know, thanks.

Re: Philipp Riesemann/reesman/reisman

C_Unitan — 2013-04-01 00:34:29Z

Hi jacklyn,

The stow away part was the oral history and then written passed down through my grandfather Kenneth earl Reesman. He apparently was "caught" and that was how he ended up paying for his voyage. But I do understand that it was standard for this time. have you been able to find out where he was from in Germany?

Regards,

Charlene

Re: Philipp Riesemann/reesman/reisman

C_Unitan — 2013-04-01 00:27:41Z

That would be great. How are you related to Phillip riesemann ?

Ridley Fowell

thompsonbyrom22 — 2014-09-05 17:04:22Z

I am trying to find a death record of a Ridley Fowell. His first wife Florence Nightingale died in 1898, the year their son Ridley William was born. He then married a Harriet Hutton in Yorkshire, England. His son Ridley William went to America.

Hi, My 3rd Great Aunt I believe was married to his son John. Would love to hear from someone on this. Her name was Elizabeth Walter. She was not his first wife. They married Aug. 5 1862. Would love to hear from someone on this. Thanks so much!

Re: Status of Infants born to those indentured?

SuzanneandJon — 2013-08-15 01:02:50Z

She could have been born to an indentured servant; that is quite possible. Also, her mother could have been a free person, but unmarried. It's also highly possible that a legal mention of your mother's binding exist in the county where this occurred. Each court book will have an index of names in the beginning, so look for this indenturing when she was born. It would take research at the courthouse itself, but I'd imagine would be very profitable.

Where do you find records in immigration from Rotterdam to Philadelphia 1753 that will show either trade or if the peson was an indentured servant? Thanks

Status of Infants born to those indentured?

henrytx — 2012-08-30 00:04:32Z

My 7g grndmtr, born about 1750 in near Hagerstown Maryland, testifies she was "bound" as an infant to a Thompson household; and remained with that family until she married; she regarded the household as her (only) family.

She was white, European or caucasian - at least I think so. Could this mean perhaps she was born to an indentured person? Does anyone have any information on this circumstance; methods to try to identify her beginnings? Were such children censused in any way?

The need to prove her beginnings came up a Court of Common Pleas in the 1840's; two Thompson's of that household were deposed corroborating the same thing; she was bound as an infant to their father. Testimony implies she "chose" to stay with that family.

Her testimony vascilated on what her name might have originally been; she may have simply made up a maiden last name.

Any suggestions appreciated, thanks.

cascadoux — 2012-05-03 16:59:27Z

Do you know the time between your ancestor's arrival and her marriage? It's quite possible she skipped out on her service. I know that two of my female ancestors from Ireland who were supposed to serve "a year and a day", married men they met on the ship and never served any time. They arrived in Quebec, and lived in Buffalo. I don't know how ethical that was, but it was done!

Maybe she died in transit. Many did. A lot of those ships weren't much better than slave ships. The ship master had to make a profit off of carrying these servants and the more he could pinch a penny, the better off he was. Why should he care? He got paid up front.
