Thanks for getting in touch Mary. It has been a long while since I posted my original enquiry. I will have a look and ask around and see if any of the names you have mentioned are in my family tree. I hope to get back to you sometime soon.

Finbar, my GGGGGrandmother was Eleanor Proudfoot b. 1762 in a place called Bective, parish of Kilmessan in Co. Meath, Ireland to a Patrick Proudfoot & Mary Keogh. She had at least two brothers - Richard b. 1756 and Michael b. 1758.
Eleanor Proudfoot married William Gaynor c. 1790 in Co. Meath and they had at least 6 children born in parish of Dunsany, Co. Meath. Do you have any connection to this family ?

Andreas Franz Xaver Hofer was born 4 Dec 1821 in Önsbach, Baden. His parents were Johann Evangelista Hofer and Maria Anna Ernst.
He fled to America following the collapse of the 1848/49 Republican uprising in Germany. On Nov 30 of 1849, the SS Triskina arrived in NYC from Rotterdam. Among the passengers was one Franz Xaver Hofer, age 27, a glazier from Baden.
He married Marie Ruef in NYC in 1853. In 1855 he, his wife, and her family moved to Iowa.
He died in 1904. Near as I can tell, he is buried in Chicago.

I have more info if you want.

Thank you, MN Proudfoot. I looked at the book you mention a few years ago, but missed some of the details you give in your email.
I am trying to figure out more about this Charles Simpson, namely how he is related to the Charles L Simpson who married the daughter of Matilda Proudfoot & Eugenes McClain.
By the way, I believe we are fourth cousins once removed. You are the second I know of!.

scots_roots — 2009-03-05 01:28:27Z

Not sure just what you're looking for. You need to get your hands on the book on this line by Dorsey Proudfoot.

John Proudfoot (II) moved to America sometime before 1786. He and his wife, Leanor, had seven children. I'm descended from their son, James, who married Anna Elizabeth Reed (Read).

Most of this family settled in and around Philippi, Barbour Co WV. There are still many in the area today. I've heard they have a reunion around every 3 years, though I've never attended.

Re: Alexander Proudfoot of Chicago

chuxton — 2009-01-26 03:14:07Z

I'm not sure how to answer the question of the field of the PHD. The official record suggests there was no such degree, and the oral tradition was not specific on the subject. It was suggested that the education was in a classical or liberal arts field, but he appeared to be occupied in business (sales and/or accounting) from the beginning of his professional life.

Re: Alexander Proudfoot of Chicago

I found Alexander Proudfoot (1901-1968) married Priscilla G. Ferry, 14 Feb 1927, in Lafayette, Indiana (from Ancestry Indiana Marriage Collection 1800-1941). I also found this marriage in the "Lafayette Journal and Courier Newspaper Index 1902-1952. I have not found anything else. What field was his Ph.D?

Is Proudfoot's Amish?
