Had to laugh at the previous thread "if you're an Updike you have lots of cousins". No kidding! My line goes back to Louris Jansen Updike as well, but I'm not familiar with Colonial Dames 17th Century, can someone fill me in?

Thanks!

Re: ANY INFORMATION WILL BE APRECIATED ON THE UPDIKE'S

jnremeta — 2009-06-29 23:31:56Z

My line consists of the following:

(And I might be doing this backward, I'm relatively new to the whole genealogy world!)

My gggrandmother was Mary Nellie Updike, her mother Julia A Updike, her father John J Updike, his father Israel Updike, his father John Updike born @1775. They are mostly Virginia based Updikes. Feel free to contact me if I can be of any help.

Re: ANY INFORMATION WILL BE APRECIATED ON THE UPDIKE'S

Rider_lee — 2009-06-15 14:54:43Z

More information is required. Who is the oldest UPDIKE you are looking for? Name, birthdate, place, deathdate, place?

Have you looked up any census information?

Spoken with family members?

If you are related to the UPDIKES from Frankfort, KY; I can help some.

Jennie, Thanks for that information. I am using the same line as you did so I know it's a good one now. I appreciate your # also. I used my mother's line for my DAR patriot--William Calhoun. Also used that line for Daughters of Indian Wars, Daughters of Colonial Wars and Daughters of American Colonists. I have papers ready (just waiting for money) for the Updikes as my DAR supplements. It's good to meet another cousin, however distant we may be. Oh, I have a Harris line for UDC. What fun these are! Pat

I was accepted in the Colonial Dames XVII,in April 2007, my number is 036716. My understanding was that I was the first for
Louris Jansen Opdyck as my ancestor. And it took only 5 weeks.

Lawrence Updike is my DAR patriot. I also have Sebastian Stonebraker as a supplement and another supplement(UpDike) in processing.

Re: Martha Ann NORVILLE/UPDY(I)KE

Maureen, additional info. The daughter of Benjamin and Sally Updike was named Anna Eliza. She Married a James
McDonald Day in Audrain Mo. in 1847. They had a son named William B. Day and is in the 1850 census living with
Calip and Sally or Sarah which ever she went by. Phil

Re: Martha Ann NORVILLE/UPDY(I)KE

Hi Phil,
Thank you! I sure appreciate you giving me the info. and helping me with this search...Please feel free to contact me at my email address...Also, I agree...I believe we have found the right people...

Best Regards,
Maureen

Re: Martha Ann NORVILLE/UPDY(I)KE

2006-01-13 20:07:56Z

I want you to know that the marriage lic. shows Banjamin marrying a Sally Norval on 12 Dec. 1825 You can look it up

So again all this business of correct spelling and etc. sure gives us miss leading info. I am very confident that we have the same people that you refer to. Phil Oh yes the 1850 census says one of the williams kids name is patsy

Re: Martha Ann NORVILLE/UPDY(I)KE

2006-01-13 17:37:39Z

Hi Phil,
Thanks so much for the update. I am still wondering however....So Martha Ann Norval/Norville is also Sarah Updike? They are one in the same person? Since I have the name Martha Ann in my written record of the history the name Sarah has always been a puzzle? But the other information seems to all add up, so perhaps Martha simply went by Sarah for some reason???

Thank you for the info. on Benjamin being Martha/Sarah's 1st husband....Assuming that Martha/Sarah are indeed the same person here, I have Martha/Sarah and Benjamin's children listed as "H" (b-1828-KY), Anna Eliza "Sissy"(b-1830-KY.), and Peter (b-1833-KY.). Sissy married a James McDonald Day, Mar. 9 1847, Audrain County, MO. Sissy died June 1850 in MO.

I have Martha/Sarah and Caleb's children listed as: John H. (b-1837-MO.), Martha Fox (b-1838-MO.), Harriet Delila (b-1840-MO.), Asahel Linn, (b-1844-MO.). It also appears that Martha Fox (my GG Grandmother) also went by "Patsey"....Which I believe was a common nickname for Martha. Wish they would have used their given names...It sure would make researching them a lot easier ! Ha!

Hope this helps us put some more pieces into our related families puzzle! Thank you for your responses to my query....

Re: Martha Ann NORVILLE/UPDY(I)KE

2006-01-13 14:05:16Z

Maureen Sorry I called you Martha. Was looking at the name on the message board.

The 1850 census for CALIP Williams shows him as a mail carrier He was married to Benjamins widow 6 Oct 1836
Benjamin died 1834 The census also shows both Updike
children as males The 1830 census shows 2 children one
a male and one a female both under age of 5 So I have to find out why 2 males and no female in the 1850.

Oh yes a Mike Morriessy has info on this. He is in touch with a Gary Williams who has much more info.
Morriesy will be found on the message boards Looking for Updike and others.

Phil

Re: Martha Ann NORVILLE/UPDY(I)KE

2006-01-13 12:44:08Z

Martha, I have found what I have been looking for. BenjaminUpdike did die and Sarah remarried a Caleb Williams. The census report for 1850 shows her married to and living in Mo. The listing is under Calip Williams So here again a spelling mess up has diguised the trail.
It shows several children among them being a P. Updike and a H. Updike. Married license is also shown for her marrying
Williams So Caleb or Calip becomes interesting.

Re: Martha Ann NORVILLE/UPDY(I)KE

2005-12-14 00:50:22Z

Hi Phil,
I appreciate your respnse to my query and for posting the info. on your Updike's....It does seem there may be a connection in there somewhere. This could be the lead I was looking for! I'll be hitting the research trail again! I'll keep you updated on any new findings I may discover along the way...
Thank you!
Maureen
Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Re: Martha Ann NORVILLE/UPDY(I)KE

2005-12-13 16:07:58Z

Here is some info that may help you research the Norville name.
A family member ofmine was Benjamin Updike/Updyke
He was born in 1801 in New Jersey. His father and mother
Major Updike moved to Franklin County Kentucky in 1803.

Benjamin is shown as marrying a Norval on 12 December 1825 Franklin Co. Ky. Benjamin is in the 1830 Franklin Co. Ky. census report. The name was spelled Updyke. The census taker assumed this spelling cause the whole family couldnt read or write. The correct spelling is Updike. This census report shows 2 children under age 5 amale and a female. You mention a child named Peter. This is interesting because one of Benjamins brothers was named Peter. Peter is my gr gr grandfather.

You can find marriage lic and census report through Ancestry .com or by going to the Salt Lake City geneaology
site

The spelling is important to note These names were very inconsistent during these days. Dont be too quick to conclude that Norville was the spelling used back in the 1800's.

I have not found info on Benjamin after the 1835 time frame.
Since you mention this lady as a widow perhaps that explains why I havent found any more info on Benjamin.

Hope this is helpful.... Phil I think I saw info that said his wife was Sally Ann.

Marriage Announcement: Elizabeth Leigh UPDIKE & John Peter Braun

HaroldHolstein — 2006-05-02 01:47:32Z

From The Washington Post, Washington, D.C., Wednesday, October 19, 2005, p. C 4--

"A Fall Wedding for Leigh Updike and John Braun

Elizabeth Leigh Updike and John Peter Braun were married on September 24th at the home of the mother of the bride in Danville, Virginia. The wedding was officiated by the Rev. James Mathieson of Danville. Following the ceremony, a reception was held in the garden of the Updike home.
The bride's junior attendants were Paige Swanson, her goddaughter, Bronwyn Updike and Julia Updike, the bride's nieces. The flower girl was Haydn Updike, also the bride's niece, and the trainbearer was Brady Updike, the bride's nephew. Brothers of the bride, Glenn Updike III and John Updike served as ushers. The groom's brother, Carl Braun and his wife, Naomi from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, were also in attendance.
The bride is the daughter of the late Dr. Glenn B. Updike, Jr. and Mrs. Elizabeth B. Updike of Danville. The groom is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Earl Braun of Baltimore.
Both the bride and the groom are employees of The Washington Post. The couple spent their honeymoon on the island of Aruba, and they reside in Alexandria, Virginia with their two Maltese terriers, Bogie and Haley."

Re: UPDIKE HOGAN

windleg1 — 2006-05-22 01:52:04Z

I noticed in the original post that you were looking for information on the children of Milly and William Updike. My GGgrandparents were Pleasant Austin Howell and Selina Updike. I have a handwritten family record listing the birth dates of Pleasant, Selina and their nine children along with Pleasant and Selina's marriage date and Selina's date of death. Because all of the handwriting is similar and it does record Selina's death date, I believe the document was penned by Pleasant Howell.

If you are interested in a copy of this, let me know.
