Hi Janet and Roberta,
It's been a while, How are you both and you mother? All well I pray. I managed to dig up a bit of info on the Eckels family, but am not sure if it relates to our branch much. I met some people in Britt, Iowa also by the name Eckels. It appears that their branch originated from the same area in Pennsylvania as ours did. I have not had much time to get together with their family historian, but am hoping to have time to contact him soon and see what he has on this branch and if it will link with ours. I have an new email address. It is aspencercma@gmail.com. The previous one is no longer in use. Wondering if you have come across any new info on our famliy since we last talked.

Hope to hear back soon.
April

I do not know how the Robert Fulton got started but your information is basically correct. All of the legal documents and the U.S. Census list the name as Fulton F. Eckels. He and his wife are buried in St. Marys, West Virginia. Remnants of his family now live in Connecticut and Virginia. He was born in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. He is my gggrandfather through his son John Shepherd Eckels. Sarah McMains Eckels died May 2, 1864 at the age of 41.

I copied and pasted the following from this website:

http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/l/a/Barbara-Bla...

It looks like it comes from Edward's will. FYI, Thos is an abbreviation for Thomas, just like Wm is an abbreviation for William. I see that they spell the last name Echols, instead of Eckles, but that could be explained by a number of reasons. Sometimes when part of a family branches off and moves away, they would alter the spelling of their name slightly to distinguish themselves from the other group. Or, in times when it was a luxury to be able to read and write, a lot of people ended up altering the spelling of their own names by accident.

Ross, I don't know how your Edward Eckles, died 1829 in Wilkes County George relates to my family, but I did find some information on him about a land draw on this website:
http://www.giddeon.com/wilkes/books/early-records-of-ga-vol1...

"WILKES COUNTY, GEORGIA] LAND LOTTERY OF 1821

EXPLANATORY
The land disposed of in this lottery was obtained by treaty with the Creek Indians at Indian Springs Jan. 8, 1821, covered by five original counties at the time of survey, namely Dooly, Houston, Monroe, Henry and Fayette counties, since divided into twenty-one counties."

You have to scroll down to about the middle of the page to see the list with his name on it. Edward Eckles, Sr. and Jr. It's under "168th district or Capt. Beriah B. Reeves' district."

Re: Eckels Family

Katharyne_Silva — 2010-10-25 03:57:35Z

The first ancestor of the Early Eastern Pennsylvania Eckles Group was CHARLES ECKLES, who was born about 1715 in Ulster, Ireland, and died in October 1781 (or 1783?), near Chambersburg in the southern part of Pennsylvania. Several traditions among his descendants have been so widespread and firmly help that they may be accepted as being based on historical facts. One of these is that Charles Eckles came with two of his brothers from northern Ireland. The tradition is also is that the brothers did not remain together after a time. Some tradition has it that one of the brothers went south, Virginia being mentioned in this connection. Records show that Edward Eckles, progenitor of the Second Virginia Group, could well have been a brother of this Charles. The results of thorough searching for records of the two brothers of Charles show that JAMES ECKLES and CAPT. GEORGE ECKLES (a sea Captain) were in Eastern Pennsylvania at the same time as Charles, and that apparently they came there at about the same times and were not far from his age. Records were not found of any other persons there who could have been the brothers of Charles. It may be noted that all records of George show the surname as E-c-k-l-e-s, while those of James, as is too frequently the case in public records, show an occasional departure from this form. Some tradition has it that one of the brothers of Charles Eckles returned to his former home. If so, James was the one, and lack of records of him after a time seems to bear out this tradition. Robert Eckles, who was a taxpayer and "freeman" at Carlisle in 1780, may have been a son of this James Eckles, but no other record of Robert appears in eastern Pennsylvania. It appears also that there are no records of others in eastern Pennsylvania who were the children of James, and no record of his death was found. James could have been the fourth brother of the Virginia tradition.

The first record of CHARLES ECKLES (1715-1781/83) is that given in a tax list of 1753 of Sadsbury Township, in the extreme western part of Chester County, PA. He was there designated as a renter, and was still so designated in the same place in the 1766 tax list. But in the 1767 tax list he is shown as then living in the adjoining township of East Fallowfield, where he was the owner of live stock and one hundred and twenty acres of land, which, in 1774, was given as two hundred acres. Perhaps it was because of his house being within the zone of military operations around Philadelphia during the Revolutionary War that Charles Eckles decided to leave Chester County. About 1778 he moved to Hamilton Township, Cumberland (now Franklin) County, PA, and located a few miles west of Chambersburg where some of his sons also located. Here he was taxed in 1779 and 1780 on live stock and one hundred and fifty acres of land. Here also he died, somewhat unexpectedly perhaps, as his will, made on his deathbed, was stated orally to two of his sons and a neighbor. He doubtless conducted a cooperage business (manufacture and repair of barrels and casks) exclusively before purchasing a farm in 1767 , and thereafter may have combined this business with that of farming to advantage, due to the large number of his sons. On his deathbed he bequeathed his cooperage tools to his son William, but later records show only Charles's son Francis and his descendants as being engaged in the cooperage business.

It is quite probable that CHARLES ECKLES (1715-1781/83) was buried at Rocky Springs Church Cemetery, which is about four miles north of Chambersburg, as there seems to have been no other early cemetery within a very much greater distance from his home. It was this church that at least one son of Charles Eckles had a pew for some years after the latter's death. Three of Charles's sons served in the Revolutionary War, one of whom was in the regular army four years and two as members of the militia. Two younger sons were members of the malitia and among those of whom it is said "they serve who only stand and wait."

Another firm and widespread tradition among the descendants of CHARLES ECKLES is to the effect that he brought some children to Pennsylvania from northern Ireland, and that one child, NATHANIEL, was born on the ocean, doubtless the result of certain unfortunate incidents which occurred during the voyage. Such voyages were then known to be long and perilous, and tradition has it that the vessel on which the family embarked became disabled at sea and eventually had to return to port, which some tradition says was Newry and some Belfast, Ireland. Tradition has it that the mother died at this time and Charles Eckles married again. It is permissible to surmise that the vessel on which the family voyaged was a comparatively small one, perhaps owned by the brothers and commanded by CAPTAIN GEORGE ECKLES.

George Eckles married Susanna Holmes at Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA, Oct. 7, 1750. to them was born on child, Susanna, on Aug. 18, 1758, who was baptized at Christ Church on Feb. 27, 1759, where her father was buried following his death on March 25, 1759. Apparently there were no other children born to this union, and Susanna Eckles married second Andrew Wade on Oct 17, 1765. George Eckles was a member of Tun Tavern Lodge A.F. & A.M., in 1759, and in the records of the lodge his name is given as CAPTAIN GEORGE ECKLES. He is listed in the Philadelphia Ship Register at different times as master and owner of several schooners, one of which was named Elizabeth and Mary. His name appears with that of the mayor of Philadelphia and others on a petition to Thomas and Richard Penn for the gift of a lot on Society Hill on which to build St. Peter's Church, a project which was completed after his death.

JAMES ECKLES appears as a taxable at Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, as early as 1762 (From the "History of Cumberland and Adams Counties", by Warner Beers and Co.) and in 1768 his name appeared on a petition to Governor John Penn at Philadelphia asking exoneration of the sheriff in connection with a jail delivery at Carlisle. Robert Eckles, who was possibly a son of this James, was taxed in Carlisle, PA, in 1780 and apparently again in 1786 in Huntington Township, Westmoreland County, PA, where some of the sons of the early Charles Eckles were already settled.

Katharyne:
Thanks for the response. If you have more info about Charles(1715). I will gladly take it. If you have info about his real birthday, marriage, parents and etc. That's great. I enjoy finding new info. I ran across someone not too long ago who claimed to have Charles' parents names, but not able back up the info. Claimed to have been told by a past relative. FYI. If you wish to connect with me outside of this connection, use "dataman6881@yahoo.com". I use the Yahoo for almost all ancestry work. Did not have that address when I signed on to Ancestry.com.

I am related to Charles Eckles (1715-1783) through his first son, William (1740-1822). I understand that you may be related to Charles through his son, Charles (1752-1830). Eckles is the correct spelling. I have several sources of published documentation proving this. Here is some information on your line that may help your search. Message me if you are interested in learning more.

I. Charles Eckles b. 1715, Ulster, Ireland; d. 11 Jun, 1783, Chambersburg, Cumberland, PA, USA.
He had three wives, and a total of at least eleven children, you are linked through his second wife, Mary Gilkinson (b. 1713 Cumberland, PA; d. about 1760, Chambersburg, Cumberland, PA). Charles and Mary Gilkinson had five children, Francis, Charles, Daniel, Andrew, and Deborah.
B. Charles Eckles b. 2 Feb, 1752, Chester, PA, USA; d. 4 Aug, 1830, Westmoreland County, PA.

Probably just a coincidence but I have a Robert Fulton Eckels born abt 1815 in Allegheny, Pennsylvania to Nathaniel (son of Daniel Eckels and Mary Crow)and Anna Eckels. He married a Sarah McManess (also shown as Sally McMains on some records) abt 1840 in Pennsylvania. May not be the same Fulton but perhaps related. The 1946 history by Harry E. Eckles may have info.

My Grandfather told me of a family member that went to California for gold and did quite well. My grandfather was Charles Wilbur Eckels, born in Indianola, IA, farmed in Wisconsin, Canada, and finally Southwest Missouri, where he and his mother and father are buried. His dad was Charles Eckels, but I don't remember his fathers name. Maybe he had a brother...who knows?

The deceased was a woodsman and worked for many years at charcoal furnaces in western Pennsylvania, including Millcreek, Benscreek, and Cambria Furnace, in this vicinity, and some in Indiana, Westmoreland, and Huntingdon counties. Following the Johnstown Flood of May, 1889, he worked for several years in the Locomotive Department of the Cambria Iron Company.
