If you have the time to locate that map and other info and let me know what you find out, I would appreciate it. It might help me focus better on my own research. I am trying to sort out the various Ensleys, Endsleys, etc. in this area in the latter part of the 1700s.
John Darrell Endsley (The Endsley Family in the New World) says that the most common early spelling associated with his family, first found in Lancaster & Cumberland Counties 1753-1757 was also Enslow, and I have seen the spellings Enslo and Ensloe in early documents relating to my family in North Carolina in the 1770s. They all claimed to be Scotch Irish.
Do you know the German original of Enslow? How did you find the German origin of your family? Maybe I am looking in the wrong places! I see that one of the early Bedford Co Ensleys is listed as "Stofel", which is clearly German, of course.
I asked about Christopher Insley/Ansley/Ainsley of New Jersey because of the common name (Christopher) and the common New Jersey background with the Bedford County Ensleys. (Could these families have come over as "British" soldiers, so many of whom were actually Hanoverians?
I don't know anything more about Elizabeth Martin than what she says in her application for a pension for the service of her deceased husband George. She claims to have arrived in Bedford County at age 11, so about 1775. Interestingly, another Hannah Martin married into my Endsley family in Indiana in 1833. Her sister, Elizabeth, also married an Endsley there in 1834 and was my great-great-grandmother. Their parents were James Martin and Sarah Wasson, but other than their dates of birth and death, I know nothing about them!
I look forward to hearing from you again. Please feel free to contact me directly.
