Don Beets, Will you please e-mail me gsmock@oldwiz.net
Margaret (Smock) Ong was listed in the 1900 census living with brother Samuel Smock and his second wife Susan in Franklin Twp. Fayette Co., PA. Margaret "Maggie" Ong age 67, mother of 8 with 4 living. She must have been there for only a short time as the following year grandfather Noah and father Orville went back to Samuel's farm in PA. I have not heard of Margaret being there in 1901. Thanks, Gene

Re: Ong Ancestory

gsmock1 — 2012-01-03 14:45:26Z

Thats Great! Margaret's brother Samuel was my great grandfather. Their father Henry & mother Elizabeth "Betsy" were both buried in the Fells cemetery in Westmoreland Co., PA. One person buried in the Llano cemetery along with Margaret and son Franklin Moore has no dates on her stone. Hopefully you have some information on Norene Ong. Very Glad to meet you. Gene Smock

Re: Ong Ancestory

Don Beets — 2012-01-03 05:49:25Z

That's correct. Benjamin Ong was my great great grandfather. He married Margaret Smock on 20 Aug 1857 in Westmoreland County, PA. I am only aware of five children. Benjamin died in 1902 in Texas.

Margaret Smock was the daughter of Henry V. Smock and Elizabeth "Betsy" Shepler. She was born 17 Jul 1831 in PA and died 16 Feb 1917 in Amarillo, TX.

Re: Ong Ancestory

gsmock1 — 2012-01-01 18:52:35Z

Am I correct in assuming the Benjamin Ong you cite was the Benjamin who married Margaret Smock in PA and per my records had 9 children. Two sons I have info on are Adolphus Everhart and Franklin Moore. I don't a death date for Benjamin but Margaret died in 1917 in Amarillo, TX.

Re: Theltenham ONGS and Quakers

RichardOng21 — 2011-06-02 05:43:24Z

If you were talking about your ancestors there in the early 1600s I'd say they would most likely have been Puritans. John Winthrop's estate was in Groton and that is only some 18 miles from Theltenham. The general area was heavily Puritan in those days I think. I don't know much about the Quakers in England in the mid 1700s. Also, I believe the Puritans faded away after 1700. To take a guess, I'd say they probably weren't Quakers but it's only that, a guess. My Ong ancestors were from Lavenham, Suffok, also in the area and their proximity to Groton and the time of their departure, Dec. 1630, make it highly likely they were Puritan emigrants. Even so, some people with special skills who weren't Puritan emigrated with Puritans.

My people appear to have adopted Quaker beliefs in n. New Jersey c. 1700. I doubt they did so before.

Re: ONG, Missouri Irene

SharonMathias1 — 2011-02-19 18:14:40Z

Dear Laurel, Jacob Odam and Missouri Ongs child name was Luncy Claiborne. He was the sixth out of thirteen children. Missouri died in Wayne Co. Iowa, at her daughter Mantas home on July 12th. 1927. She is buried at Genoa cemetary.
My grandmother Myrtle Mary Odam Snyder, was the ninth child of Jacob and Missouri. I have the book The book of Woows- Womacks, Odams, Ongs,Weists, Summers by Rosanna Parker. Looking forward to hearing from anyone within the family.

Re: ONG, Missouri Irene

laurelhouser — 2010-03-05 18:23:10Z

I find it interesting that the name is exactly the same, but my Missouri was born in 1852, died in Wayne Co, IA. She did marry a Jacob Odam, but did not have any children by the name of Lunceford. Maybe just a case of missing info? Do you have anything further onthe line you could share?

Re: ONG in Cambridgeshire, England

RichardOng21 — 2010-02-26 22:19:46Z

Hello, Andrew,

Your Ely Ongs are the first I've seen in that town, though that's not saying much. I know of a FNU Onge who had sons John and Edmund Sr. (DPOB 1545, Lavenham; m. Elizabeth Ladyman, 1540, Lavenham). John had at least one son Francis (DPOB 1612, ?) who father was in Hartest, Suffolk, when Francis was admitted to Cambridge Univ. in 1632. Francis went to New England in 1631 but appears to have returned almost immediately though this requires further analysis. Francis had three sons, Francis (DPOB 1633, New England), John (DPOB 1636, Peldon) and Jeremy. He was married to Bridgett and died in 1666, possibly of the plague, while rector of the church in Peldon, Essex.

Edmund Sr. had a son Edmund (DPOB 1575 Lavenham, Suffolk) who married Frances Reed and she or they went to New England. Edmund Jr. may have died in 1630 in England.

Francis the rector's movements don't quite make sense to me and generally consider this a tentative account of these people.

Hartest was in the Diocese of Ely and the bishop may have been instrumental in effecting Francis's entrance into Cambridge. There were a few other Onges in Cambridge. (See http://www.archive.org/details/p1alumnicantabri03univuoft.)

I'm aware of a William and an Adam Onge, among others in Suffolk and Essex. I've nothing terribly reliable to relate about this just now.

Where did you see the "Ing" version of the Ong name, please?

I don't know if you ever found out what you were looking for or not. Benjamin'a father was G William Ong and his mother is Sarah Villis Jordan. G Williams father was Jeremiah Ong. I have dates and siblings plus the line going back to 1537.

ONG in Cambridgeshire, England

andrewmartinUK — 2008-11-23 00:52:06Z

Hello everyone.

I've known for a while now that i had the ONG family in my ancestry but it's only really tonight that I've tried to go back further.

The most recent ONG in my tree was Mary ONG. She married Philip CROSS in Ely, Cambridgeshire in 1790.

Mary was the 7th child of Thomas ONG (of Ely), and she was the 4th child of his second wife, Martha (née FEAST). Thomas' first wife had also been called Martha and she died in 1764. There had been an earlier Mary child but she died as an infant in 1769.

It looks like Mary ONG and her younger sister Martha were likely to be the only survivors of the ONG family in Ely.

If anyone can shed some light onto this name and it's location in a pre-1858 date.. then i'd love to hear from you.

There's a bit more ONG on my website - www.familytreeuk.co.uk/ong

thanks
Andrew

Re: Children of Jacob Ong Mary McGrew

verne_martin — 2008-08-28 01:06:15Z

I do believe that Rebecca Ong of this line married Reason Jones, an ancestor of Mary Vanetta Jones, who married Adam Kerr, and produced my grandfather, Roy Melvin Kerr. Mary Vanetta Jones was a Quaker, and her mother still spoke the King James English.

Hello,

I've loaded my ancestor tree which includes all the Ong children on www.genesreunited.co.uk . I suggest you register on the site and look for George Ong born 1824. I can then give you access to my tree where you can see all the Ong family I have found.

Re: George and Eliza Ongs fifteen children

Glynne67 — 2008-06-10 17:37:02Z

Hi Ray, I am also researching the Ong family in the UK. My grandmother was an Eliza Ong (circa 1890's) and she was one of 15 children, her father was a George Willim Ong but I don't know the name of the mother (it may also have been Eliza). The only siblings I know for sure are her sisters Cissie and Nellie (who was an opera singer), and one of the brothers named Jack who went to live in Derbyshire when he got older. Two of the sons died in the 1st World War and I have an old photo of one of their graves in France as well as a photo of one of the sons on Minden Day. It looks as though Edward was one of the brothers as well. What are the names of the 8 other children you know about and do you have any idea where George William Ong originated

Re: Fayette Co

jlyonsgen — 2008-05-19 19:42:43Z

I have a letter written by a John Ong of the 155 PA on behalf of my GGGrandfather John Lyons' pension review. They were both in Ottowa, IL at the time. I would be glad to share it with you.

Margaret M. Ong divorced wife of Benjamin Ong from PA

gsmock1 — 2008-03-23 16:56:25Z

Margaret M.(Smock)Ong was divorced from Benjamin Ong in Wilson Co. KS and later died in Amarillo, Texas. I have seen the date of her death as 16 Feb 1917. At Find-a-grave is a Margaret Ong, no birth date given, in the Llano Cemetery in Amarillo,TX with a death date of 1915. There are no dates on the stone in the picture. Can anyone tell me if the two Margaret Ongs are the same person. Thanks!

Theltenham ONGS and Quakers

SarahJames606 — 2007-11-02 21:48:21Z

I am a direct descendent of Ada Minnie ONG, who married William STONE in 1909. Ada was the daughter of Walter ONG and Minnie Ada POULTON. This branch of my family has its origins in Thelnetham, Suffolk where Thomas ONG married Sarah NICE in 1754.

The Ongs who emigrated to America seemed to be Quakers - unless I'm mistaken. Does anyone know if my ancestors in Theltenham and thereabouts were Quakers too?

Many thanks

Re: ONG, Missouri Irene

loismix1 — 2007-10-28 02:51:52Z

I have and Ong in America book. It lists Missouri Ong as one of the last entries. My Great-Grandfather was Lunceford Odam son of Jacob and Missouri Odam. My grandfather was Lunceford's oldest sons. (Mother was Josephine Hughbanks) My Grandfather was Farris Odam. The book I have is on CD.

Re: Ong Surname

Thanks for your reply Les.
Yes my grandmother was Margret Maria who married James Jackson (19??). I know she had a brother Albert, there were also James, Mary, Thomas and Nell.
You can email me at genius.jim@gmail.com. I will have a look for your email address.

Thanks again
Jim Jackson

Re: Ong Surname

Les_Ong — 2007-03-18 23:12:12Z

Apologies for my tardy reply. Is your grandmother the Margaret who married James Jackson in 1921? She and her brother Albert were two of the children of Alfred William Ong and his wife Margaret (nee MOYLAN). Alfred died in 1956. His parents were James and Ellen Ong.
I havn't been in touch with Jim Whittle and Neil Cullen recently but they are also related to other children of James and Ellen. If you email me I'm sure I will be able to give you more information. Best wishes. Les

Re: Oliver Hammond Ong,b:ca1820Oh

2005-04-17 05:05:21Z

Judith,

I just came across your Dec. 2000 message regarding the identity of Oliver Ong's parents. I am sure that by now you have discovered that they were Dr. Nathan and Mary Hammond Ong, my gr-gr-great-grandparents. I am descended from their oldest son, Reason (Rezin).

I am wondering if by chance you have come across any information on Mary or her parents, George and Deborah Hammond. As Nathan Ong died so young in 1828, I have always wondered what became of Mary and the seven children, including my Reason and your Oliver. Possibly she remarried, or she and the children moved in with a relative, or some of the children may have been sent to live at other Ong or Hammond households. I haven't been able to find any answers. If you have come across any information, I surely would appreciate it if you could help.

Would be great to swop notes.

Re: Ong Surname

2004-05-09 18:29:19Z

Hello Janette

I’m not sure how much you are already aware of your mother’s ONG roots but she is part of the same family as Jim Whittle and Neil Cullen (see replies above) who I have been corresponding with. The family of James and Ellen ONG (nee ORTON) lived in Fulham in London at the end of the 19th Century. One of their children Ernest married Alice Agnes BELL in 1910 in Lancashire. Their son George, born in 1914, married Ruth BUCKBY in 1935 and my records show that the births of two children with a mother’s name of BUCKBY were registered, Ruth (1939) and Gillian (1948). Is your mother Gillian by any chance?

Please feel free to email me. I’ll be able to provide you with much detail of this branch of the ONG family.

Regards,
Les

Re: Ong Surname

2004-04-28 07:50:41Z

Hello Les

My mother (and I) have always been curious about the origins of her birth-surname - which is Ong. Her step-surname (Buckby) is also rather unusual, as is my maiden surname - Watson-Barron.

I am very keen to try and either unravel (or knit!) my lineages and have started from my maternal side - hence this correspondence.

I look forward to any serious correspondence/information with regard to the surnames Ong, Buckby, Stevens and Watson-Barron - primarily in the UK.

With Kind Regards
Janette Watson-Barron

Paternal grandfathers

pasoman17 — 2004-02-13 22:46:09Z

My father was James Mifflin Ong III. I found his father and grandfather in the 1870 and 1880 U.S. Census. James Mifflin II is listed as age 7 and age 16 in the census which would make him born around 1864, but the only record found has him born in Covington, Kentucky. The majority of Ong's I think my link is are in Ohio or Indiana at this time. The James Mifflin Ong born to Jacob Ong and Mary McGrew died as a teenager (14) so he can't be my great-great-grandfather. The James and Mifflins have to be cousins, uncles. Can someone help me with this history mystery? I have a current four generation family group sheet that I would be happy to share.

English ONG family & 'Ong Book'.

amandajaneadams — 2003-10-17 21:55:36Z

Hi - I have recently found out that an estranged branch of my family are Ongs. I have very little information, and would really appreciate any help, if available. My paternal grandmother's name was Ada Minnie ONG, who married William STONE (? when). They lived at 277 Pinner Rd in Harrow, near London (UK) when their son - my grandfather - Alfred Stanley STONE was born on 12/8/1917.

Is it the case that British Ongs are of French origin, or Chinese? Also, how can I get hold of the 'Ong Book' - and would it be relevant to European/British Ongs?
