philipthorne1 — 2009-05-27 17:47:39Z

Hi,

Patrick Commons [B~bet 1834-1843 in Galway, Ireland ] and Mary nee Concannon [B~1847 Galway] moved to Whitwick, Leicestershire, UK, circa 1850. They had some children, then went to the USA where they had 2 sons John and Henry and then returned to Whitwick. In the UK censuses John and Henry appear as "British subject, born USA".

I have no idea as to where in the USA they went, does anyone have any knowledge of this family?

Cheers
Phil

Hi Scott,

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

My instincts told me that my Amos came from William's line, but I couldn't make the jump... until now. Thank you again.

I look forward to seeing Elisha's will.

5th great-granddaughter of William Commons.

Re: Amos Commons b. abt 1780 d. abt 1835 Chester Co, PA

ScottRCAnderson — 2009-03-19 04:59:12Z

Hi, Mary,

Your Amos appears to be the grandson of William Commons (1723 - 1796).

I recently obtained a photocopy of the will of William Commons from the Chester County Archives, and I've scanned and transcribed it and put it online:

http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.commons/99/mb.ashx (text)
http://www.usgennet.org/usa/oh/county/guernsey/wills/commons... (scans and text)

There is a summary of this will that has been posted in the past:

COMMONS, WILLIAM. New London.October 30, 1795. January 28, 1796.Provides for
wife Sarah. Plantation, etc. to be sold. To sons Robert, John, William and
Elisha £10 each. To son Joseph £30. Remainder of estate to Elisha's 5
children by his first wife, William, Sarah, James, Ann and John, share and
share alike at 21.Executors: Isaac Jackson, Jr., Samuel Spencer.Letters to
Spencer, Jackson renouncing.Wit: Robert Correy, John McKee

However, it contains one error. The second son of William's son Elisha is actually named Amos, not James. William spells it "ames", but there is no hint of a "J" in front of it, and his sister Ann's name isn't capitalized, either. Amos (clearly spelled) also appears in Elisha's will, which I'll post at a later date.

This also explains how one of Ann's sons came to be named Amos, a name that doesn't appear at all on her husband's side of the family. And probably also how your Amos has a daughter named Ann.

I find it very interesting that both your Amos and my Ann had sons named William ("William Commons Cranston" in her case), and no sons named Elisha (even though she had seven sons!). They clearly received a pretty good inheritance from William, but that doesn't seem like it would be enough of a reason to avoid the name Elisha if there weren't also some ill feeling towards him.

Will of William Commons 1795 Oct 30

ScottRCAnderson — 2009-03-19 02:31:16Z

William Commons was born 7 Jun 1723 in Co. Kerry, Ireland, and died (probably) JAN 1796 in New London Twp., Chester Co., PA. He and his wife were accepted into the Friends' New Garden Monthly Meeting in Chester Co. on 29 Jul 1758.

I photocopied this will recently at the Chester County Archives. I scanned its four pages and it's attached to this message; the extension says .ged, but remove that and you'll have a .pdf file that you can look at very easily with Adobe Reader. (Ancestry for some reason doesn't allow PDF uploads.) The transcription below is also included in the file.

The transcription is literal; there were a few places where I did a bit of guessing, and if the writing's unclear I included a parenthetical translation. You're welcome to second-guess me.

Re: John Rogers Commons

landslucas — 2008-09-21 18:10:48Z

Carl and Scott:
All of my line of the Commons family information was put into a book called "Memoir of The Commons Family". It was compiled by Russell Louis Commons in 1940 and revised and corrected in 1960. He is a descendant from my line which was John Commons.
The lineage of the Commons Family in this book states:
William Commons, Born 1723 County Kerry Ireland, Died 1795, Chester Co., Pa. Sarah Scarlett Born in Ireland. 1725 Died, 1800. Chester Co., Pa. Married 1747 in Ireland. Emigrated to America 1749. Parents of 5 boys.
1. Robert
2. John
3. William Jr.
4. Elisha
5. Joseph

John Commons, the second son of Willam Commons, Sr. grew to manhood on his father's farm and fell in love with a Quaker girl named Sarah Dixon. She belonged to the Kennet Society of Friends and in 1779 they asked permission to get married. This permission was granted so they were married and moved to North Carolina in Randolph County, where they made their home on a farm. Two children were born to them there; Isaac in 1783 and Mary 1787. While the children were quite young, their parents got a fever and died, leaving them to be raised by other folks.
Mary Commons grew to womanhood and never married, but had one child whom she named John, for his grandfather.
John Commons was born May 1, 1811, in Randolph County, N.C., and lived with his mother on the home place where he grew to manhood. Then he fell in love with Rachael Clark. On Jan. 12, 1832, they were married, and John brought his bride home with him to live. John had become a skilled blacksmith and the government offered him 80 acres if he would move to Indiana and run a shop there. So, in 1838 John and Rachael loaded what they could in a covered wagon, and with their little family moved to Indiana. They settled on a farm 3 miles east of Clarksville where they built their home and also his blacksmith shop. Later John built another blacksmith shop in Clarksville out of brick which is still standing and and is now privately owned. John made one trip back to North Carolina where he sold the old home place and brought his mother back to Indiana with him to live. There she spent the rest of her days and died Feb. 15, 1851 at the age of 64, and was buried in a litle pioneer cemetery on the old Commons homestead 3 miles east of Clarksville, Indiana.
I have a tree on Ancestry.com called "My Susan Tree". It has all of my Commons info. I would be happy to invite you to see it.
Scott, what is you email address? I would be very happy to have any information on the 4 other brothers in the Commons family.

I am searching for my GGGrandfather, Henry Commons, born about 1820 in England.

I received my GGrandfather's death certificate. He was born Charles Wesley Commons, 14 Jan 1851, Chicago, IL. The certificate shows his father as Henry Commons, born in England, and his mother Rosamond (Commons) also born in England. Notification on the death certificate was made by a Wesley Commons.

Charles Wesley was married to Ella May MILLER, and had one son, my Grandfather, Charles Henry Commons, born 1979 in Burdenville, Cowley, KS.

I have very little information on this branch of the family. I would appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Re: Leander Commons

roderick_c — 2007-04-23 14:29:39Z

Leander was one of the six children born to Reason Commons and Mary Ann Woods. Leander was born about 1861. Reason died in 1865 while returning home from the Civil War. Their other children were Henry (born about 1846, also died in Civil War camp of illness), Louisa (about 1846, listed as Eliza in 1850 census), Sara (1848), Francessee (1850), Mary A. 1855) and Leander. The later died Nov. 24, 1935, Alger, Wash., and is buried in the Burlington Cemetery, Moutn Vernon, Wash.)

I have additional information on these members of the Commons family if you would like updates.

> I hate to say this, but we don't know who John's father was.
> Mary named him after her father or grandfather, I think.

Ah, that's a difficult situation. Well, knowing that your family was in North Carolina, I wonder if there's a connection with John Roger's younger brother Joseph Commons, of whom I have this reference:

1777 DEC 10: Joseph Common ...”has so far failed in maintaining our testimony against War and oppression as to be engaged in driving his kinsman’s Waggon [sic] which was press’d for Military purposes, and has since (contrary to the advice of the said Meeting by Friends appointed) left these parts in order to go to Carolina.”

[From "Chester County Quakers During the Revolution", by Gilbert Cope, in "Proceedings of the Chester County Historical Society" 1902 NOV 20]

If this is my family's Joseph Commons, he may have been the first in the family to head south. Do you know if John Rogers also went to Carolina, or stayed put in Chester County?

> What is your line in the family?

Joseph was the fifth and youngest son of William Commons and Sarah Scarlett. Their first son was Robert (Carl's line); their second son was John Rogers (who married Sarah Dixon); their fourth son was my 5th-great grandfather Elisha. His daughter Ann/Nancy married Thomas Cranston in 1810 and moved with him to Guernsey County, Ohio in 1812. There's a purported picture of them here:

Re: Leander Commons

I'm not sure how far away you are from me in the tree, but I have Leander in my records, and the names of his children in my records matches what you said.

I have him as the son of Reason R. Commons (b c. 1822 in Wayne Co., Indiana, d 12 May 1865 in Louisville, Kentucky), m 20 Apr 1843 in Wayne Co., Indiana to Mary Ann Woods (b in Virginia).

Reason was son of William Commons (b 30 Aug 1786 in Chester Co., Pennsylvania, d 23 May 1848 in Whitewater, Wayne, Indiana) m 29 Nov 1815 in Richmond, Wayne, Indiana to Sarah Brady (b c. 1790, d 24 May 1863).

William was son of Robert Commons (b 30 Dec 1748 in County Kerry, Ireland, d 19 Dec 1837 in Centerville, Wayne, Indiana) m 16 Nov 1780 to Ruth Hayes (b 09 Apr 1755 in West Marlborough Twp., Chester, Pennsylvania, d 23 Sep 1845 in Centerville, Wayne, Indiana). Robert immigrated as an infant, not even two years old.

Robert was son of William Commons (b 07 Jun 1723 in County Kerry, Ireland, d Bef. 28 Jan 1796 in Chester Co., Pennsylvania), m Abt. 1746 in Ireland to Sarah Scarlett (b 1725 in Ireland, d Bet. 1797 - 1800 in Chester Co., Pennsylvania).

The names in your post match records in my database. This is a line that's pretty thin in my records though, and I'd really like to expand my records. Can we swap info? I have extensive information on other lines from John Rogers' brothers and sisters, particularly for his brother Robert, b 1748 (my line).

Pat, I have a Frederick Louis Commans in my husband's heritage. He was born in 1830 in Hamburg Germany and died in Dorr, MI 1905. Could there be any correlation here? If so, please e-mail me directly at freedomgroup6@juno.com

I only saw your message today and I, too, am looking for Commons from Co. Mayo. The family I am looking for is Peter Commons married to Bridget Devaney (Diviny) who had Peter, b. 1850 m. Bridget Fitzgerald had a daughter Delia; Margaret, b. 1835 m. Michael Murphy (this is my connection); Mary, b.1848 m. Patt Keane; Bridget, b. ? m. to Thomas Forde; a 2nd Mary, b. 1842; Eleanor, b. ? m. John Staunton; Sarah (Sally) m. Lawrence Calhalane, and 2 Judiths - b. 1844 and 1846. Do you suppose there is a connection i.e. your Thomas is perhaps a nephew of my link, his father perhaps being a cousin to Peter Commons and Margaret Commons Murphy? Would be interested in any other information you may have. My Commons were located around Boherduff, Claremorris or possibly Crossboyne.
