Hello, I am trying to find documentation that lists William B. Funderburk as Louisa Frances Funderburk's father. If anyone has access to the 1860 US Federal Census it would be nice to see who is listed as her parents and siblings as familysearch doesn't show the image for her for that year.

Here are Louisa Frances's Census (it appears she went by Frances):

Looking for descendants of Mary Funderburk of Missouri

jagivens1967 — 2012-03-07 22:11:12Z

I have a photograph of the Embrey family, dated 1891 in St. Clair, Missouri, that I recently purchased at an antique store in Austin. I have done some digging around and figured out that in the photo are William Embrey (1839-1920), Mary Funderburk (1847-1940), and their children, Will, Daisie, Fannie, John, Rose, and Bob. I would like to get this picture to a descendant of this family if possible.

Thanks!

Go to the Tucson library and see if they have the book "Funderburk Castles and Conquests" by Dr. Guy B. Funderburk. On page 249 is Jefferson Lee Funderburk, Sr., father of the Jefferson Lee you mention. J.L., Sr. was a Methodist preacher.

You can Google "Funderburk Crest" or "Funderburk Coat of Arms" and get a picture.

I assume Jehu Pope was Hannah's first husband? Any information you might have on Hannah I would appreciate. Who is John Pope, listed as a head of a Cherokee family on the 1800 census in Jefferson County, Tennessee? Is that Jehu's father. I do have a copy of the Guion Miller Application filed by Matilda Vianna Sandusky Smith, daughter of Emanuel and Mary Funderburk Sandusky. I am very interested in the Native American genealogy of this family. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have just started researching the Funderburk name. As I was reading your message, I noticed that you mentioned African American cousin and also the name Robinson. I am trying to find out information about my great grandmother who was supposedly a full Cherokee Indian and her name was Mary Funderburk and she married a Andrew Robinson. I know that my grandfather Walter was not Andrew's son, but that Mary and him had other children. Any information that you can provide would be helpful.

Funderburk History Royality

Tuck479 — 2011-05-09 21:07:43Z

Does anyone know exactly where/how the Berg line of royalty ended? So it appears that most of the Funderburks in the US descended from Adolph Von Der Berg and the Princess Elizabeth Anna and their child John was in line for the crown. My question is, why was he "in line for the crown" and not already wearing the crown since he descends from the House of Berg? I guess I would like to know where this John's crown inheritance ended, was it at William VII of Jülich, 1st Duke of Berg whose sons Adolf, Duke of Jülich-Berg and William VIII of Jülich, Count of Ravensberg took over the crown? They say that Adolph Von Der Berg (John's father) is a descendant of Adolf, (Adolf, Duke of Jülich-Berg) but it appears that this Adolf had no heirs so the above mentioned William, Duke of Jülich-Berg who was Adolf's brother, this William's son Gerhard VII, Duke of Jülich-Berg inherited the crown. Is this where our John's line split from the crown? I just found this quote "He was a descendant of the parents of Adolph von der Burg, the Merchant Prince who moved his dwelling to the Rhine before 1430, and died in Cologne in 1470. The parents of the Merchant Prince ( it is known lived and died at Burg an der
Wupper, which lies at the base of t he high plateau on which the Castle Schloss Burg is located.
Adolph von der Burg, the father of the three brothers who came to America, was also about a nineteenth
generation descendant of Adolph von Ber g, who was born in 1020, the first ruler of the Bergisch Land." Would this quote be accurate?

Adolf I of Berg
Adolf II of Berg
Adolf III of Berg
Adolf IV of Berg
Count Engelbert I of Berg
Adolf VI of Berg
Irmgard of Berg and Henry IV Duke of Limburg
Adolf VII of Berg
Henry of Berg, Lord of Windeck
Margaret of Berg
Margaret of Ravensberg
William VII of Jülich, 1st Duke of Berg

1)Adolf, Duke of Jülich-Berg?
Rupert ?

2)William VIII of Jülich, Count of Ravensberg?
Gerhard VII, Duke of Jülich-Berg?
William IV of Jülich-Berg
Maria of Jülich-Berg and John III the Peaceful

Re: Funderburk History Royality

Tuck479 — 2011-05-09 20:34:57Z

Ok, another question......was John to inherit the crown via his mothers side (Elizabeth Anna) or his fathers (House of Berg)? This does not make sense as for him to inherit from both they would have had to be related right? Elizabeth's father was Phillip Wilhelm who descends from the Berg line correct, and so does Elizabeth's husband Adolph. Maybe I'm reading it wrong....please someoen help me to understand this line.

I'm researching the Funderburk family and came across your post. Realizing that it's almost a decade old, I'm not sure if I'll be able to reach you. Victoria Funderburk is my Great Great Grandmother. I learned about her just recently, so I have very little information on her or her family. If you do receive this notification, I would be much appreciative of any information you're willing to share with me on this family.

Kind regards,

On Sept. 12, 2010 I found the Funderburk cemetery located north of Pawnee Illinois. I did see a tombstone with FUNDERBURK at the bottom of the tombstone. This cemetery is very overgrown, and the only way that I found it is a friend said his boss knew where this was located. Sure enough, this friend and I found this cemetery on the above date. Another tombstone had an 1851 date on it. There was another tombstone that only had on it Wyatt Rose, U S Navy. There were other tombstones that were knocked over, and very hard to read. This area is very overgrown, and the only way my friend and I found it was his boss told us the location, and we had to physically find this cemetery. I would be happy to help you in your search. Please contact me at the e-mail listed. Thank you. Dale Elenberger.

Thanks Julie, I have compared your Neals to mine and don't see any apparent connection. My Neal's also started their American journey in PA and then moved to VA though. From what I've been told settlers had to agree to some pretty strict guidelines to be a part of some of the PA settlements and many moved on to areas like VA where they were freer to live as they chose. Thanks again, Joyce

rbbogirl — 2010-08-17 20:06:55Z

Nancy Isabelle Neal married John Arant b.1825 d.1890. She was much much younger than John Arant. This was his second marriage (his first wife died). Nancy Isabelle Neal was from the Lancaster area. Her ancestors were called O'Neill/Neil/Neal. This name was carried on in the family. My uncle was named Bill Neal Arant. Also, his cousin was called John Neal Cadieu. There is much on this line. Someone in the line published a book.

The first in this line was Abram Neil b.Feb.23, 1775 and died Nov. 16, 1870. He married Agnes Robinson. They had many children. I descend from Abram Neil Jr. b.Sept. 14, 1811 who married Jane McMurrey and eventually married Thomas McCorkle. Nancy Isabelle Neal/Neil was the daughter of Abram Jr. and Jane.

My great-grandmother copied down this line from the Neil family bible.

Hope it helps. Julie

P.S. Elijah Arant who married Anna Funderburk is buried at Spring Hill Baptist Church which is where Hans Devault Funderburk is buried as well. Interesting. Many of the old stones are from Elijah/John Arant's ledger book. Check it out at http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~arantledger. Or google arant ledger.

crabapple54 — 2010-08-17 18:37:12Z

I'm fascinated by the combination of families you're reporting in the family bibles. I am a descendant of Han Davauld Funderburk. I'm also descended from a couple of different Neal families, one of which lived in Virginia during this time period. I would love to hear what Neals were in the Funderburk family bible because the two families don't connect for many years in my family line...at least I was unaware of any connection.

Re: McManus, Funderburk

rbbogirl — 2010-08-16 14:22:59Z

Hello,
I am afraid not. However, there are McManus in the Arant line. Particularly in the Richard Arant b.1817 of Pageland, SC. There were Blakeney and Arant's and McManus' and Houghs in that line. Also, Masseys.

Sorry that I could not be of more help.
Pull up Richard ARant in 1850 census and you will find McManus in his household that have been unaccounted for in other households. These McManus are a mystery.

rbbogirl — 2010-08-16 14:20:29Z

I have never heard of this. Most interesting. It seemed that I had heard of something similar with another family near the stateline. Coble was my great grandfather attorney. Also, there was some relationship there. It is said that when my great grandfather died in the 1950's that Watha Funderburk, Coble's sister, came to borrow the OLD Arant bible. Back then, people did this in order to copy family lineages, birthdates, etc. My great-grandmother also did this on several of the other lines. This is fortunate b/c those other lines bibles were later destroyed or lost. Anyway, Watha borrowed it b/c it had Funderburks in it. The relationship. The only thing that I have found with research is that Elijah Arant b.1808 married Anna Funderburk. But, it must have shown more Funderburks in the family bible...intermarrying into the Arant family. The Arant bible disappeared after this. I was hoping that someone in that line had copied down the contents of the Arant bible.

I am searching for the parents of George McManus who married Rachel Funderburk. I also don't know who Rachel's parents were. I believe they were married in the mid 1840's. They had a daughter named Michel E. McManus who was born in 1846 but I don't know if they had other children. I would love to know if your mother gave you any information about this family.

It would be much easier if you knew a little more about him, such as his full name and his wife's maiden name. You need to start with older family members, ask them questions, write down anything you learn from them. Look for death records, wills, land deeds, etc. You can cneck the census records as well.

Good luck!

Mrs. Knight was my 2nd grade teacher in 1963 at Blue Creek School in Jacksonville, NC. She was very compassionate and kind. She taught us "I'm a Little Teapot" and "Old Black Joe". After a teary-eyed 1st year, she was the reason that I enjoyed going to school. She was a beautiful person! Looking back, I have to say that she was one of the most influential people in my life.

I believe Coble was her nephew. Watha was married to Raymond L. Knight, Sr. Raymond's first wife passed away when my father, Raymond L. Knight, Jr., was six years old. She helped raise her sister's children and also Raymond's children. 5 girls and 1 boy. She rode to college in a horse and buggy. Wingate I believe. She taught in SC then moved to Wilmington, NC and retired in the NC school system. She was 82 years old when she passed after living in a retirement home with her sister.

rbbogirl — 2010-06-10 13:54:55Z

Hello, Thank you so kindly for replying to my inquiry. My family surname is Arant. Of course, some of the first settlers to Chesterfield/Lancaster area were Hans Devault Funderburk, Peter Arant, and the Blakeney families. Of course, they intermarried. Many times, these families exchanged bibles at church to copy down family lineages. My great-grandmother b.1880 did this on the O'Neal family b/c her father-in-law married an O'Neal. Thank goodness that she did because that bible was later destroyed and she copied down the line back to 1730's. When my great-grandfather died in 1950's, a member of the Funderburk family came and borrowed a badly broken and aged Arant bible because it had the Funderburk connections in it. Over the years, the bible (like the O'Neal bible) was lost or destroyed, etc. I know Coble and my great-grandfather, Cheatam Arant, were close. Coble always represented him in court on land deeds, settlements, etc. I have been unsuccessful in finding anyone in this line to ask if they know of any Funderburk/Arant connections and why the Funderburk would borrow the bible. Since my first inquiry, I have discovered that my ancestor, Elijah Arant b.1808-1881 was married to Anna Funderburk (daughter of a Jacob Funderburk). Elijah is buried at Spring Hill Baptist along with many Funderburks.
Are you able or aware of any Arants intermarrying or births or anything in your line? My thanks
