Re: Information on Killian Creek

Hi Shelia, it has been a while, hope all s well with you. I don't have any estate information on any of the fam extension lines, any leads on whom I should contact or resources? I haven't gone down this path yet but i do somewhere have a list of items purchased by Killion at Callends store before he left Virginia. This is thanks to Pat Hatcher who has written for ancestry in the past and is a professional. I can't remember which is her line though.

Robert Lee Creek's first wife was named Mittie. She died in 1909. Ted Creek was born in Grundy Co. TN, but moved to Alabama as a child. Jennifer if you contact me, I can give you the info that I have now. I can take you back at least 4 more generations. Robert Lee was born in Coffee County, TN instead of Oklahoma as we had always thought.

Re: Information on Killian Creek

wilber145 — 2008-12-12 01:26:15Z

Did he ever pay taxes or take the oath of allegiance?

Re: Information on Killian Creek

SheilaCadwalader — 2008-12-10 17:40:59Z

We've researched Killian pretty thoroughly and have found no indication that he was a soldier during the Revolution.

We think that Killian used his sons and sons-in-law to help with building. There are stone masonry tools and surveying tools listed in the estate papers of different members of the family. We know that, at least, one of Killian's Sandusky grandsons was a mason by trade.

Information on Killian Creek

wilber145 — 2008-11-25 03:06:52Z

I am doing some genealogy work for my friend, Brenda Creek. I have traced her family back to Killian Creek, the stonemason. She is descended from Killian - Jacob J. - Isham - Sylvester - Edwin - Eugene - Claud (her father). Have you ever found where Killian contributed to the American Revolution? Brenda is wanting to join the DAR through her Creek lineage. If none can be found, she has proof through one of the female lines.

The odd thing I have found is that Brenda's father, Claud, was known locally as an outstanding stonemason. Two of his brothers, Robert & Harvey, were also brickmasons. It seems that working as a stone/brickmason runs in the blood.

Any help on providing documented proof of this lineage would also be appreciated.

Thanks,

Deborra

Thanks so much for responding - my line is Killian, Isaac, Jefferson, son of Isaac m Nancy McDaniel, Margaret, daughter of Isaac m Hugh McDaniel, Hugh & Margaret Creek McDaniel had son Jefferson McDaniel who married Frances Creek daughter of Jefferson & Nancy McDaniel Creek, so my grgrandparents were first cousins. I never knew of the Creek family until I started researching and you are right, it is huge - I have found it fascinating finding all these Creek "cousins". I wish I had more stories to put with my research.

Hi,
I understand your concern about using e-mail from work. I am a 1st and 2nd cousin twice removed of Jefferson Creek, your grandfather. Is a weekend a good time to call. I am busy tonight, but would love to chat, maybe tomorrow.

Re: Robert/ Susan Jane Bush Creek/ Williamson Co Illinois

starreader — 2008-09-26 16:24:45Z

Wow, this is getting exciting - i am a 1st and 2nd cousin twice removed of Jefferson Creek. I knew nothing about the Creek's until I started researching. Unfortunately, I have no one to ask questions of as they have all passed on to a better place. I do have quite a few facts, no stories however. I have been in contact with the person who wrote the previous message. You can contact me any time.

Re: Killian Kreek

starreader — 2008-02-22 00:44:14Z

Never too much information - I never even knew I had Creek relations until I started family research and then of course all members of my family who might have known something were gone to their just reward, so I am amazed at the size of the Creek family and their descendants.

I am always looking for information on the Creek/McDaniel ancestry - there was at least two intermarriages.

NOT Margaret Hollaway - Margaret Weitzel

SheilaCadwalader — 2008-02-21 03:38:04Z

It was proven a couple of years ago that Margaret Hollaway was NOT the wife of Killian Creek. No one was ever able to trace the origin of the name Halloway or who the 1st person was to use the Halloway name in connection with Killion.

The following Will is the new proof of Killian's wife Margaret's surname:

Abstracts of Wills of Lancaster County, PA 1732-1785

The will of Henry WEITZEL of Lancaster County, PA is the source for the marriage of Killion Creek and Margaret Weitzel. Will written Feb 9, 1776, probated May 1, 1776.

Will of Henry Weitzel.
Children: Martin, John, Elias, Margaret wife of Killian Kreeg, and Magdalena.
Executors were: Casper Snevely, John Ressly. They were of Lebanon Township.

Creek family was huge! My grandmother's great grandfather, Jacob Joseph had 25(give or take one or two), children by 3 women. Have no McDaniels in my line that I know of.

Killian Kreek

spindrift3 — 2008-02-21 01:57:10Z

I'm related via Killian's son Jacob Joseph, his son William Richmond, his son Jacob Joseph, his only surviving child Anna Laura, her son Harold Lloyd Brown(my father). Does any one know exactly how many Killians there were and who they belonged to?

Re: Wm. Richmond and Isom Creek

spindrift3 — 2008-02-20 23:09:27Z

Jacob's son Isom/Isam was in court two times in 1826 on charges of assault and battery. Subject : violence. State of Indiana vs. Creek, Isam Other names mentioned: John Carson, James Drake in one case and William Houchens, Peter Jones and Jacob Creek in another. Sounds like he was a trouble-maker
As for thr 4 spouces of Jacob I have only Jane Riggs, Salome(Salena) Watts and Mary Ann Price. Who else? I sure don't have all the kids. Only eight. Can you give them?

Re: Pierson/Pearson Creek..??? Lucinda Johnson

spindrift3 — 2008-02-20 22:47:52Z

I think you are correct about your Iowa/Ind mix-up. I noticed the same thing. I am a decendant of Pearson's brother, William Richman Creek. Am Seeking info on Gibson Co. families: Brown Sharp, Saulman, Alcorn, Crabtree.Moutray. Jacob Joseph Creek and his son William Richmond Creek both had sons named Ishom/Isom. William Richmond also had a son named Jacob Joseph Creek who is my gr. grandfather.

spindrift3 — 2008-02-21 21:24:50Z

The Killians are hard enough to figure out--let alone where the Holloways came from--but it keeps popping up. At first I thought maybe she had been a very yourg widow Holloway or maybe it's her middle name.

Re: Killian Kreek

spindrift3 — 2008-02-21 21:18:55Z

Killian #1 had Killian #2. NO. 1 also had Jacob Joseph(brother of your Isaac and Killian #2). Jacob Joseph had Killiaan #3 and his brother, William Richmond(my relative). That's all the Killians in my direct line. William Richmand was b.Mar. 1811 Warren Co. KY and d.Jan. 1879 Montgomery Twp, Gibson Co. Ind.. He m. 2 times in my records: Nancy Slaven (1831)and Lisa Ann Marquis (1867) Probably more. He had son, Jacob Joseph b. Sept 1844 d.May 1909 who m. Rebecca Sharp 1866. (All this in Gibson Co.) Rebecca bore 3 or 4 babies but only one survived past a few days or months. That was Anna Laura Creek (my grandmother) b.Jan. 1880 Gibson Co. d. Jan 1959 in Evansville Ind. Anna Laura m. Horace Lloyd Brown of Gibson Co. Ap. 1897. and had daughter Bertha Evans and son Harold Lloyd(my father). I've probably given you more than you want. Send any questions you may have.
