I found some interesting things in my research about this family.

David Axtell married Susannah Dennis
Children:

*Tamar 1825-1893
married to Caleb Hill (musician died in civil war)
Children of Tamar and Caleb:
James H
Caleb
Mary d young

She then married Asa Bray, a farmer from the town of Deerfied, Wisconsin. he preceded her in death.

Third marriage to James Shumway. Her death occured when she fell down a flight of stairs while visiting her mother, Susanna. She is buried in the Union Cemetery in Stevens Point Wisconsin.

*Harriet Axtell, married to Pliny Farrington. Court records show that she divorced him in 1856 (Stevens Point)

Child:

Cornelia m Daniel Metcalf in 1865 Stevens Point Wisconsin

Harriet's 2nd husband was Thomas Metcalf. Found her on census records under Metcalf,but lost her after that.

*Sarah- unknown information ?Andrew de Forest.

*Mary- married Eli Lovelace, lived inn Knowlton Wisconsin
They raised Effie Axtell d of Moses Axtell and Fanny Bray. (Mrs Roland Sparhawk) unknown how Mary died, but is buried in the Union Cemetery in Stevens Point

*George D-no information

*Susanna Raw(u?) Lived in Knowlton and was married to George Raw. No burial information as of yet.

*Emily married Levi House lived life in Charlevoix Michigan.

Children:

Eli- died 1872 of lung infection 3 years old burial unknown
Charles, John died of malaria buried at the Union Cemetery
Mary Edith, died from childbirth related to malaria.
George died and is buried somewhere in Texas.

Story goes that the family went down wishing for better weather, and a better life. When they got there, they had nothing but bad luck. Edward broke his back and the family caught diptheria and died.

In 1895 Susanna died from Lung Problems and is buried in Union Cemetery in Stevens Point. Her Obituary states that all of children are gone but Almyra and Emily.

After that I found Edward and Almira in Scotia Nebraska, then on to Washington, where they lived out their lives.

Do have some other information, but it's too long to print here.

JonAxtell — 2009-05-14 09:38:49Z

maryshackelton said "2. Who are JOEL Axtell and POLLY Axtell? I have a small photo album which belonged to Daniel Axtell's son-in-law, Calvin Steward. Included in it, along with a very faded picture of Daniel and Phebe Axtell, are two pictures labeled as Joel Axtell and POLLY Axtell. Are they maybe siblings of Daniel, or even his parents, although I am not sure they are old enough for that."

From my data Joel is Daniel's brother. I have him as living from 20Jan1802 to Jun1877. His wife was Jane Campbell but it could be assumed that Polly is her nickname as I don't have any sisters of Daniel called Polly.

Greetings,

John Axtell b. 1795 in Washington Co. Penn., d. 1860 in Milford, Ill., was my 3rd Great grandfather. His descendants are of a European royal lineage, which I have discovered, cross referenced, and depicted in a lineage chart. I also have the names of John's children, however can go no further unless you are also a descendant of Sarah Jane Axtell Strean, of my personal lineage.

For a free copy of my chart, simply email me at supernaw242000@yahoo.com. Do not post a reply to this posting.

Sincerely,

Re: axtell+ vennums

supernaw2424 — 2009-05-07 08:34:51Z

Joy,

Yes, I believe that I have all of that information. The Axtell, Vennums, and Streans were one big family among others and in 1834 made the big wagon train move out to Illinois.

I have even bigger and a very profound link to European Royal ancestry, specifically through Mary Vennum and her father Col. Thomas Vennum. Much Axtell/English history as well.

Re: Correction - Daniel Axtell (1808)

maryshackelton — 2009-05-04 18:53:01Z

Daniel Axtell (1808) was born Mercer co. Penn, moved to Knox co Ohio, then to Williams co Ohio where he died in 1867.

Phebe Ely was born in Northumberland co Penn, married in Knox co Ohio, lived in Williams co Ohio and died in Coffee co Tennessee in 1894.

The children of Daniel and Phebe (Ely) Axtell were all born and died in Williams co Ohio.

Daniel's ancestors came from England about the early 1640's, were in Massachusetts, then New Jersey, before coming to Pennsylvania.

Hope that helps.

Hello,

These are my 5th Great grandparents. The info that I have is that Thomas was a Private in Capt. Miller's Company, First Battalion, 4th Class and was also a Minuteman. I have been able to establish that Mary Tuttle's father Isaac, died exactly when the British passed through Morristown N.J., the Tuttle home. He was 52. Not certain how he died however.

Could you email me directly at supernaw242000@yahoo.com? I have more info however I do not seem to receive the posts from this site.

Biography of J. M. AXTELL born 1838 in Pennsylvania

1891 published Biographical History Pottawatomie County Iowa

Axtell, J. M.
J.M. AXTELL, a farmer of Boomer Township, was born in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, July 4, 1838. (For parentage and ancestry, see sketch of L.S. Axtell). Being the youngest child, he remained at home until his father died. In 1857 he married Miss Sarah Franklin, daughter of Leander and Sarah (Barker) Franklin, natives of New York state who, after her birth, moved to Pennsylvania. Mr. J. M. Axtell, after his marriage, moved to Sparland, Marshall County, Illinois, where he took charge of a farm for Lewis Burson two years, and there his wife died, February 19, 1866, leaving five children, namely: Samuel Albert, who resides now in Harrison County, Iowa; Leona, wife of G.W. Howland, residing in Harrison County, also; Charles and Oscar died in infancy. June 6, 1867, Mr. Axtell married Miss Mary, daughter of Daniel and Maria (Erwin) Graham, natives of Pennsylvania who afterward moved to Illinois and finally to Missouri where they both now live.

The Grahams were the parents of twelve children, viz.: Elizabeth, wife of Mr. Elliott, and residing in Illinois; Mary, the second in order of birth; Luther and Henrietta, deceased; Findlay, at home; Ann, wife of Dr. Sherman, residing at Coffeeville, Kansas; Jesse, living in Harrison County; Ervin in Shell City, Missouri; Laura and Emma, twins, the former at home and the latter in Colorado; Albert and Alice, twins, the latter the wife of Richard Newton and both residing in Colorado. Mrs. Axtell, born October 9, 1845, brought up as a farmer's daughter, and was married at the age of 22 years. After his second marriage, Mr. Axtell came to Pottawattamie County and purchased 60 acres of unimproved prairie and began to make the necessary improvements thereon, and also, in connection with his farm work, continued at his trade as carpenter, which he had learned in younger days. At the end of five years he sold out, bought 40 acres elsewhere, built a house and made valuable improvements upon the tract, and remained there ten years, dealing also extensively in livestock. Selling this place, he finally bought his present farm of 80 acres of wild land, on section 10, and this now is the third home he has made. Sixty acres is under cultivation, while the remainder is in meadow and pasture. He has a comfortable residence and surroundings, with shade trees, orchard, etc. While his sons manage the farm, he is engaged by the Pottawattamie County Mutual Insurance Company, for whom he began to operate about three years ago.

He is an active and influential Republican. Has held the various offices of his township, especially in school matters, and is now Justice of the Peace. He is also a member of the Mutual Protection Association of Hazel Dell, and of the I.O.O.F. In Pennsylvania and Illinois, he and his wife were members respectively of the Methodist Episcopal and Baptist churches. They are the parents of ten children, namely: Milton, born September 8, 1868, resides in Harrison County; John, October 7, 1870; Lutellis, September 20, 1872; Gertrude, October 20, 1874; James, August 25, 1876; Daniel, November 22, 1878; Mary Alma and Maria, twins, born March 28, 1881 (Maria died a month afterward); George, born September 9, 1883; and Blanch, born January 20, 1886, died March 20, 1886. All those who are living, except the first mentioned, are still at their parental home.

Biography of LOVRIDGE SAMUEL AXTELL born 1832 in Pennsylvania

Source: http://iagenweb.org/pottawattamie/Bios1891-A.htm
1891 published Biographical History Pottawatomie County Iowa

Axtell, L. S. (Loveridge Samuel)

LOVRIDGE SAMUEL AXTELL, now a prominent farmer of Boomer Township, was born November 24, 1832 at Sheakleyville, Mercer County, Pennsylvania. His grandfather was THOMAS AXTELL, born in New Jersey in 1750, was a Revolutionary soldier and settled soon after the war in Washington County, Pennsylvania. He first married Mary Tuttle, and they had eight children: Nathan, Hannah, Sally, Cecilia, Polly, Phoebe, Ruth and Samuel. After his wife's death, he was again married to Nelly McLain, and they had two sons: Charles and Thomas. Samuel Axtell, above mentioned, the father of the subject of our biography, was born about 1794, was reared on a farm, graduated at Washington College, and then took a thorough course in the profession of medicine. He married Mary Lovridge, the youngest of three daughters (the only children) of John Lovridge, a German farmer of Washington County, Pennsylvania. Soon after their marriage, they moved to Sheakleyville, Pennsylvania, where the Doctor had a large and successful practice for nearly 50 years. They raised ten children, namely: Bethsheba (a mute) who married Peter Burnett (also a mute); William Harvey, a physician of Sheakleyville, Pennsylvania; Permelia, wife of G.W. Lord of Meadville, Pennsylvania; Jane, wife of Louis Burson of Sparland, Illinois; Hannah, wife of Dr. J.M. Dillie of Cooperstown, Pennsylvania; Milton Blochley, M.D. of Pepin, Wisconsin; Abijah Clinton, M.D. of Youngsville, Pennsylvania; Lovridge Samuel, the subject of this sketch; Nathan Hutton, minister of a Methodist Episcopal Church at Chicago, Illinois; Joseph Monroe, whose biography will be found elsewhere in this volume. Of this large family, all but one, Permelia, have raised large families and are at this date still living.

L.S. Axtell had the advantage of a good common school education and also attended Allegheny College during the seasons of 1850-51-52, teaching during the winters. In 1854 he was chosen, in connection with Dr. Owens of Conneautville, Pennsylvania, as agent for a colony of about 200 families in Western Pennsylvania who proposed removing to Kansas, and as such agent, he made an extensive tour through Kansas in the fall of that year. He was one of the judges of election, appointed by Governor Reader at the first general election ever held in Kansas, March 30, 1855, when the polls of his precinct, now Burlingame, were forcibly taken possession of by a horde of Missourians, and Colonel Younger, of Jackson County, Missouri, a relative of the notorious Younger brothers, was elected to the Kansas Legislature. During 1855, Mr. Axtell taught school at Lee's (postoffice), now Lee's Summit, in Jackson County, Missouri. September 14 of that year, he married Sarah, daughter of Ira Halloway, a farmer of New Vernon, Pennsylvania, and both were employed at the school above referred to until July 1856, when they removed to Council Bluffs, Iowa. Here Mr. Axtell was employed about a year by J.P. Williams at carpenter work, a trade he had partially acquired during his minority.

At Council Bluffs, a daughter, Flora, was born and a few months later, April 24, 1857, the mother died, to be followed the succeeding fall by her babe. After the death of his wife and child, Mr. Axtell commenced teaching the public school, then the only one, in Council Bluffs. It was taught at a large log building on Madison, now First Street, that had been erected by the Mormons as a church, and afterward appropriated by the gentiles as a courthouse. There Mr. Axtell labored hard, and under the circumstances successfully, with an average daily attendance of 85 pupils and a highest daily attendance of 105. April 17, 1862, Mr. Axtell married Frances Sarah Wade, daughter of Henry and Mary (Carter) Wade. Her parents were natives of England, emigrating in 1850 to St. Louis, Missouri, and removing in 1854 to Council Bluffs. Mr. Wade raised five children, all daughters, namely: Mary Ann, Frances, Roseanna, Isabella and Elizabeth. Frances, with whom we are especially interested, was born January 16, 1841.

With the exception of about a year spent in the Colorado gold mines near Black Hawk, Mr. Axtell taught almost continuously in Council Bluffs until the spring of 1865. During the latter portion of this time, he taught the high school and was also Superintendent of Schools for the county. His health being seriously impaired by his long confinement in the school room, he removed, in April 1865, to his present place of residence in Boomer Township, and commenced his farm life. Mr. Axtell has been more than ordinarily successful. His original farm of 120 acres has grown to about 400 and supports a large stock of hogs, cattle, and horses. His buildings, reared by his own hands, are large, neat and commodious. Mr. Axtell has been very successful, too, as a fruit-grower. His orchard, commenced over 20 years ago, has by later additions grown to be over ten acres and has never failed for a single season, since large enough to bear, to yield a plentiful supply of fruit.

Politically, Mr. Axtell has from early manhood, especially since his Kansas experience, acted with the Republican party. He represented this county in the Legislature of 1873-74 and was very appropriately made Chairman of the Committee on Schools. July 30, 1874, he was stricken with paralysis of the right side, subsiding gradually into the right leg. From this attack, he has but partially recovered, going about with difficulty by the help of a cane.

In religious matter, Mr. Axtell, though formerly a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, is now considered liberal or skeptical. While retaining a reverent belief in the existence and beneficence of God and a strong hope of future life, he has lost all confidence in so-called revelation or prophecy and the conflicting dogmas of human creeds.

Mr. Axtell and his estimable wife are enjoying in comfort the quiet evening of their active lives, surrounded by a pleasant family to whom their highest ambition is to leave a character unsullied and an example worthy of their imitation. They have eight children, born and named as follows: Lovridge Hutton born April 9, 1864; Charles Monroe, May 7, 1866; Ida Permelia, October 4, 1868; Aggie Jane, January 4, 1871; Henry Wade, September 25, 1874; Frank, February 13, 1876, died one year later; Walter Garfield, born May 7, 1879; and Spencer Burson, August 17, 1882.

I'm trying to verify who the Ray Axtell is whose tombstone I found. I've searched a few posts and family trees and he seems to be Samuel Axtell MD since the DOD matches as well as the location, 11/4/1864 and Mt Vernon Twp, PA. I found info on other Rays but they all are later arrivals to the family. Sam's daughter, Bethsheba, may be some relation to me through her husband, Peter Burnett. I've tried to attach the photo.

Re: Axtell in Mercer Co. PA

skbaum52 — 2007-07-28 02:11:36Z

I found the tombstone of Ray S Axtell MD in the New Hope ME Church on the corner of Condit Rd (sign post says 818) and Georgetown Rd in New Vernon Township, Mercer County, PA on July 24, 2007. I was looking for Samuel H Axtell MD who is listed as living in Sandy Creek Twp in 1850 census and New Vernon Twp in 1860 census both times in the same household as Peter Burnett a possible relative of mine. He married Bathsheba, Samuel's daughter. Date of death for Samuel and Ray are exact matches so I am a little confused because I find no Ray in the 1850 or 1860 census. The tombstone very close to Axtell on the left when facing it is for Mary Ann Elder, but I couldn't make out the rest. Next to hers was another very worn headstone. I have photos of the gravestones and church. It is an active congregation so there may be records. I am trying to find information on my GGGrandfather Spencer Burnett before 1880 who lived in Deer Creek Township according to that census. Burnett relatives tell me he is directly related to Peter but no luck. All the townships are next to each other including Sheakleyville. Email me directly if you want the pictures. Sejbaum@aol.com

I am Jon Axtell and I'm carrying out a One Name Study of the Axtell surname. A One Name Study is a genealogical research program into all the individuals who share a common surname. In my case I'm studying Axtell as well as it's variations from Axstyle to Axtil and Astell.

I have a website at http://www.axtell-surname.org.uk/ where I currently have details of over 5000 Axtells from the 1500s to the present day. They are spread across the UK, America, Australia and Canada. As part of my research I document all descendents of an Axtell, any spouses and also the immediate family of any spouse.

Please feel free to visit the website. If you find any mistakes please let me know so that I can correct the information. If you have any additional information which I seem to be missing, again please let me know so that I can flesh out the lives of the Axtell family members.

I remove any dates and only publish the names of living people on my website, but I keep full details on my private database. I can remove living individuals from my published tree if requested to do so, please let me know your wishes if you come across your family on my website.

I'm doing a One Name Study of the Axtell surname and have a lot of information on the Axtells. My website is at http://www.axtell-surname.org.uk/. Ray's page is http://www.axtell-surname.org.uk/ind15516.html and Samuel's is http://www.axtell-surname.org.uk/fam5184.html if I have got the right people from the information you posted. You didn't post dates, so I'm making a bit of a guess here.

However looking into my database I find Bethsheba Axtell (1812-?) who married Peter H Burnett on 10Jan1811, place not known though. I have Bethsheba's parents as Samuel McFarland Axtell and Mary Loveridge. Are you sure about Samuel's middle initial of H?. Bethsheba's page on the Axtell ONS site is http://www.axtell-surname.org.uk/fam4067.html.

I'm looking for paper proof of Thomas' Revolutionary War Service...I think that he served with the 1st Batt. of Washington County but I need paper proof for DAR/SAR
Does anyone have proof they would like to share?

I was looking through the posts on here and see that you have some info. on the Axtells. My grandfather was Raymond Axtell, lived in Letts, Iowa. I'm looking for information on my family. I'm waiting now for my sister to give me the history she's gathered. She met our family in Iowa a couple of years ago. If you want the info, let me know. She said she's got us traced back to what boat we came over on from england and the year.

Jon, Thank you kindly for the direction. I believe I can put some of the Ira/Chloe descendants into order as they pertain to the branch I am working on and truly appreciate being able to go further backward. I never thought I'd get this break. So glad you took it upon yourself to research this line in the One-Name Studies. Mary at stella33@verizon.net

CHLOE AXTELL (b 18 Aug 1810), Pennsylvania m. IRA ANDREW

MaryWilson585 — 2008-09-25 01:04:24Z

I am just beginning this Axtell line so need a push if possible to get me on my way to Axtell and Andrew ancestry. I have a CHLOE AXTELL (b 1810, d 12 Feb 1842) who married IRA ANDREW (b abt 1820, d 7 Nov 1877 in Washington Co., Pennsylvania). CHLOE and IRA ANDREW had daughter LOVINA ANDREW on 12 Jun 1841 in Morris, Pennsylvania.

LOVINA ANDREW married JOHN ALLENDER (b abt 1838) around 1876 in Washington, PA. Many thanks. Mary

Hi, Jaime!!! IT's AWESOME to hear that August has real, live relatives other than my goofy "branch" of the tree! I had just spoken with my Aunt's son - living in Japan - last night & told him of these messages & the message board & asked him if his Mom left him any sources to confirm Abigail was NOT William's mother & he could NOT confirm the data. Ergo, since NEITHER of us have found any documentation, Abigail stands as William Sliter's Mother! Only until I have the proof that she isn't! Please, don't hesitate to e-mail me ANYTIME @ BarJan96@msn.com! And, It's very nice to meet you, "Cousin", hopefully we can get together & compare notes sometime?! Take care! :-)

Thanx for responding, Cathy!!! Sorry (or "congrats") about the marrital changes on the homefront (it was a BIG congrats when I did it!!!)! My 3 Girls are the biggest reason I'm digging too. I'll let you know if I find any "tid-bits"! Happy hunting to you as well!!!

Hi, Cathy. My name is Jan & I too have blood ties to Samuel Pettengill & Augusta Sliter. Don't have too much on those two but have more on THEIR ancestors. Sure hope you're still on the message boards, as I JUST found this site after being a member for over 2 years! Doink! Please feel free to contact me anytime @ BaJan96@msn.com. REALLY need to find info. on these two from UNBIASED sources! :)

Hi, Mark; My name is Jan, Yvonne was my Aunt who passed away several years ago. But, I DO have an Elizabeth Sliter b. 15 Apr 1834 in Tompkins, Delaware Co., NY. Don't have any other data for her as I'm more "obsessed" with her older brother William & his wife Phoebe. Hope you're still on the message boards & very sorry for the lenghty delay. But, my poor Aunt Vonny never got your inquiry. Let me kno if this helps you - or anyone else out there!!!

Sorry to take so long to respond. I responded to the e-mail you provided but it was returned as undeliverable. I haven't check this post for a few days.

Respond to my e-mail at mbgilbertson@hotmail.com and we'll try again

Re: NY Axtells

I have read your post with interest. I am also looking for info on this Axtell line. I'm assuming you are descended from Marion Axtell Stephenson.

Hugh also had a son, Marion's brother, Hugh Jr, but when Hugh's wife died (Mildred Manning Axtell), Hugh Jr was sent to live with his aunt and uncle, James and Alice Barrett. Alice was Mildred's sister.

Hugh remarried and had two more children, which may have been one of the reasons Hugh Jr was sent away.

Hugh Jr's name was eventually changed to James Manning Barrett, my wife's grandfather. He married Lucretia Wixon and eventually moved west. He died in the San Diego area in 1998 and she in 1981

If you have any additional information on this line, or can confirm or refute this information, please reply

Thank you

M Gilbertson

Hi Jan,

I haven't done any research on this line in years!!! This is my husbands line, now my ex-husband, which explains a little. I would like to continue researching this line for our daughter's sake though. I'll go through my files and refresh my memory. Anything you can contribute, I'd appreciate and be more than happy to reciprocate!

Happy hunting!

Hi Jan, I'm also researching William and Phoebe. I'm related through their daughter, Augusta. I saw the post from your Aunt Yvonne about how Abigail Axtell wasn't William Sliter's mother. If Abigail wasn't William's mother, do you know who was? I haven't been able to find anything about her. I'm interested in this and any other information you might have about this family.
Thanks! Jaime
