I'm looking for the parents of Maria Elwyn b. 1842 in Woodstock, NY. She married Benjamin Soper and they lived in Woodstock before relocating to the Town of Esopus in the late 1800's. Any information would be appreciated.

I'd LOVE copies of those pages! It sounds like a match for my son's 14th great-grandparents! Thanks!

Darrel has some correct information. There ultimately were three branches of the Elwyn family: one in WoodDalling, one in Thurning, and one in Heigham.

According to the 'Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica and the British Archivist, v. VI, Fifth series, p. 17-32' John Elwyn of WoodDalling, County Norfolk, born about 1450 married Catherine ?, their son Peter Elwyn born about 1480, died 1557 married Lucy ? who died before 1556. Peter's son John graduated from Cambridge University in England 1521-1522. He died about 1569. John's son was, William Elwyn, Sr. , no wife's name, probably died in 1556, his son William Elwyn,Jr of Heigham, who died in 1610-11, was married to an Alice who died in 1602/3. His son Thomas Elwyn, bapt. 1 May 1566 (Old Heigham (St. Bartholomew) Parish Register), died 7 Oct 1603. Thomas married Elizaabeth Benslye or Bencley in 24 Sep 1591 in Heigham. Elizabeth was buried 12 Jan 1605/6. Thomas's tomb was in the Heigham Church, but it was destroyed by the Germans during a bombing in 1942. Thomas had two more children by a second wife, Dorothy ?, named Mary, bapt. 1611, and John, bapt. 1612. their daughter Sarah married Michael Metcalf, Dornix Weaver of Norwich and they emigrated to Dedham, Massachusetts (Norfolk County) in 1637. Sarah died 30 Nov 1644 in Dedham, Massachusetts according to the First Church Records, Dedham, Massachusetts. Michael Metcalf and his wife and eight children: Michael, Thomas, Mary, Sarah, Elizabeth, Martha, Joane and Rebecca left on the 'John and Dorothy' of Ipswich, but were returned to England and then left on the 'Rose' of Yarmouth for New England.

If you would like me to send you the photocopies of these pages, I'll be happy to do so. Please let me know. My husband is descended from Sarah who married Michael Metcalf.

Hi... There was also a Catharine Shultis among my woodstock ancestors. I don't think it can be the same one that you are looking for, but probably a relative. I believe that Catherine Shultis was her maiden name and that she was born about 1798 and married Peter P. Short in Woodstock about 1833

Hi jon,
Yes we're all well. I hope you're all fine too.
I'm guessing the family in the photo was a decendent of Philip R. Shultis. Looking forward to your reply. No rush of course.

Can anyone help me with info on Thomas Elwyn, from Wales who married a Ms Woodleigh and migrated to South Carolina in the mid-19th century. They had 4 children:Thomas, Mary, Veronique and another son. Thomas, the son married Catherine Collins, nee Patterson in Australia about 1880.

Re: Elwyn Information

2002-06-27 13:59:21Z

Katie,

I was pretty close to identifying the guy in front of the house. I just don't know for sure and I have not looked at in a while. I had a letter prepared for Malcom Rose. His mom was a Shultis and her family lived in the house...never got around to sending it. I also have Philip R. identified. Give me a while and I'll send you what I have.

Hope all is well with you and your family.

Jon

Jon-

I've been nosing around here for 2 days looking for a reference to Philip R. Shultis, the name on the deed to this house. I'm looking for parents and descendants. It sounds like you may have this figured out. Also, do you know who is the family in front of this house in the photo you have? I have that print you made for me. The man does look an awful lot like your father.

Thanks in advance

I have been tracking my gg grandfather, SEBASTIAN M SHULTIS, b. 1833, bapt in Germantown, mother CATHARINE SHULTIS, w/o SIMON JOHNSON MYER of Claverack. Am very interested in your Shultis info of Bearsville/Woodstock as they are probably in my gg gf line.

Re: Elwyn Information (Clara A Shultis)

2002-03-19 15:50:07Z

Elizibeth.. I am interested in how we may be related...Anyway about Clara A Shultis. Clara was my Great Grandmother's Niece. My Great Grandmother, Mahala (Shultis) Elwyn. Clara b.1887 d.1943. Her parents: Vactor Shultis b.1852 d1910 and Maria Risley. Vactors Parents: George Hiram Shultis b. 1822 d. 1899 and Margaret Reynolds b.1823 d 1900. Parents of George Hiram Shultis: Henry P. Shultis b.1791 d.1883 and Rachel Shultis b. 1790 d. 1863 (cousins I guess). Henry P. was a Livingston Land Agent and early founder of Bearsville/Woodstock. Well documented in Histories of Woodstock and Ulster county by Evers and others. Very rich history along with Lashers and Elwyns developing the Woodstock valley when it was owned by landed gentry prior to Down Rent wars etc. I have more on all sides. Look forward to hearing from you.

Re: Elwyn Information

2002-03-19 01:57:16Z

Yes, Clara A. Shultis was married to Bruce Cunningham. I have no other information on them, however. Sorry. I would say they were in the New York area but not positive.

Hi Jon,

Yes,I do use the FTM Version 8.0. I will certainly appreciate receiving the family tree. Do you have relatives in Woodstock, NY? My husband always thought he was of German descent but it looks like the line we are tracing is English. His grandmother was Holland Dutch. What is your thought?

Hello Jon,

I never received the information on the Elwyn Family of Ulster County, NY. Did you send it?

Are you by chance Dean and Kathleen's son? I met Kathleen when I was working in Greenville a number of years ago. She mentioned that one of her sons was researching the Elwyn genealogy.
