From Find A Grave Memorial:
Alexander, the eldest son of James Huling was born in Newport, Rhode Island in 1665. Due to his title as Captain, it is believed he was a military man, although listed as a carpenter and yeoman in the Whightman book.
As early as 23 Apr 1685, Alexander's name appears in the records of Narragansett Country (Kingstowne), being a witness to an agreement by the Humphrey Atherton Land Company. It is thought that he was a resident there, pursuing his trade as a carpenter in this rapidly developing area. It is here in about 1689, he was wed to Elizabeth, the daughter of George and Elizabeth (Updike) Wightman, and by her had issue seven children.
On 28 May 1696, Alexander sold his now dwelling house and settlement, orchards and buildings in the Narragansett Country, and on 18 Feb 1702, according to Austin's "The Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island," he was named among "those persons that hold and possess lots of land out of the ancient proprietors and have built large building." His homestead farm was in the northern part of Kingstowne, located about two miles northwest of what was then called Cocumscussoc, now known as Wickford. On 12 Aug 1703, he deeded "for love and good will to my loving friends Jeremiah Wilkie and Valentine Wightman of the Baptist church in the Narragansett Country" a half acre of land about "seventy-six rods (418 yards) north-east of my now dwelling-house in Kingstowne to make use of for building a meeting-house for the worship and service to God." This church, known since that time as the Stony Lane (Six-Principle) Baptist Church, was destined to be the home church of succeeding generations of both the Houses of Huling and of Wightmen; and a kinsman in the latter house, Rev. James Wightman filled the pastorate of this historic church from about 1740 to 1791.
On 29 Oct 1707, Alexander Huling a Deputy to the Assembly seated at Warwick.
Alexander's will, North Kingstown Probate # vi, pages 125-7, is dated 25 June 1725. In this document he named his wife, Elizabeth, as Executrix, and mentioned all of his children listed below, with special provision being indicated for their daughter Mary, called by her father "senseless." Alexander died four days later on 29 July 1725 in North Kingstown. The inventory of his personal property totaled £ 263 and 13 shillings. Alexander is buried in the Old Baptist Yard of the Stony Lane Church.

From Historic Homes and Institutions and Genealogical and Personal Memoirs of the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania; 1905, Vol 2, by John Woolf Jordan, Edgar Moore Green, George Taylor Ettinger

Nathan Drumbore, a successful farmer residing in Packer township, Carbon county, was born in the Mahoning valley, in Mahoning township, Carbon county, in 1845, and is descended from German ancestry. The family was established by German emigrants in the valley during the pioneer epoch in its development, and since that time representatives of the name have been numbered among the industrious and valued citizens of that locality. Thomas Drumbore, the father, was born in Lynn township, Lehigh county, and became a wealthy farmer of Mahoning valley, owning and operating over two hundred acres of very valuable farming land. He was both practical and progressive in his agricultural pursuits, and his labors brought to him a very gratifying financial return. He married Miss Kate Fenstermacher, who was also born in Lynn township, Lehigh county, and his death occurred in 1867, while his wife survived him until 1900. In their family were seven children: Nathan, Alfred, William, Henry, Elvina, Drucilla and Lena.
Nathan Drumbore was reared under the parental roof, and acquired his education in the public schools. His life has been devoted to the butchering business and to agricultural pursuits, and in both lines of activity he has prospered. At one time he owned a tract of land in Mahoning valley, where he resided for a number of years, or until 1888. At that time he removed to Lehighton, where he engaged in the butchering business, remaining a resident of the latter place for ten years. He enjoyed a good patronage during that period, and at the end of the decade sold his interest and removed to Weatherly, making his home there until 1903. In that year he purchased his present farm, situated in Packer township, Carbon county. This comprises one hundred acres of very rich and arable land adjoining the corporation limits of the borough of Weatherly on the west. He devotes his attention to the raising of the various cereals best adapted to the soil and climate, and in connection with his farming interests he also conducts a livery stable, which is largely patronized by the people of the borough. He keeps good horses and fine carriages, and has secured a liberal patronage in this department of his business. His farm is improved with all modern conveniences and equipments and is indeed, one of the valuable properties of the community.
In 1869 Mr. Drumbore was united in marriage to Miss Dreher, of Lehighton, Pennsylvania. She is a representative of a family of farming people who through generations have been worthy citizens of this state. Her parents were Casper and Mary (Beil) Dreher, and their family numbered thirteen children, eight of whom are now living, namely: Renerville, Mary, Ellen, Elvin, Charles, Emma, Ida, and George. To Mr. and Mrs Drumbore have been born ten children, as follows: Elsie, Clara, Harry, Bert, Charles, Edward, Robert, William, George and Alexander.

It was on this date that Thomas Willson of Acc Co, planter, gave to Peter Turlingon of Acc Co, planter, 150 acres of land that Lt. Col. John West sold to Thomas Willson on 13 Jun 1691, for "a good competent decent substance & sufficient maintenance to be had, found & given by Peter Turlington" ... during the natural life of Thomas Willson ... and discharge all debts owed by Willson. The land was to go to Peter Turlington & Olive his "now" wife and to the longer liver of the two of them. Willson reserves the use of the house erected & now standing called by the name of the school house to live in ... (many details) and further ... for and in consideration of the good will love and affection I have & bear unto John Turlington youngest son of Peter Turlington by Olive his wife ... after death of Peter, then to his son John Turlington & if John dies without issue then to Thomas Turlington, second son of Peter by Olive his wife ... and for defect of such issue, then to Peter Turlington the "younger eldest" son of Peter & Olive his wife. Signed: Thomas [T] Willson. Witt: William Thomas Wilson Phillips & Jno. Washbourn. Recorded on 20 Mar 1704. According to Whitelaw, this was part of tract A64 (which is east of US 13 between Melfa and Onley). Their son John is believed to have been the husband of Mary (Phillips) Turlington and if so, the two parts became merged. No record of the death of either of them was found, but a William Turlington was the next owner of record, and in 1781 he (wife Anne Mary) left to his sons Peter and William. In 1784 Peter Turlington (wife Leah) left his part to his son John and also mentioned a daughter Rachel. In 1785 William Turlington left his interest to his nephew John and niece Rachel. She married James East and in 1797 the 120 acres of William Turlington land were divided between Rachel East and her brother John. The John Turlington part of the plantation became know as Hickory Hill and when last noted was still owned by Turlington heirs..1 He made a will on 8 May 1707 at Accomack Co, VA. To Peter Turlington, Sr. To his son Peter Turlington. To Mary Turlington. To Thomas Turlington. To John Turlington. To Mamefield Turlington. Witt: John Spiers, John Simcock..2 Thomas died before 4 November 1707 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that his will was probated..

John Jacob of the Palatine District in Germany was born in 1714 Hesse Cassel in Germany. He arived in Philadelphia on September 1, 1736 when he was 22 years old.
Many people from Germany were from Palatinate. They all seemed to settle in Heidelbergh Township. According to Charles Roberts history, he states that John Jacob Daubenspeck from the beginning of his entry into Heidlelberg area built a church. He originally started it in his own home. It is said by this historian that he traveled on his own around the Heidlberg Township inviting people to come to his home for devine worship. We know from historical facts that John Jacob's home was used a a meeting for devine worship by 1740. Until 1745, both the Lutheran and Reforms met in his home, they were also working toword the organization of the church and a new building to worship in. By 1744, they built a new log building in which they started holding meetings in 1745. The congregation was a mixture of Lutherans and Reforms. Eventually, they called it the Heidleberg Union Church. When his church burned to the ground in 1756, another much larger and better log church was built. It was dedicated in 1757. Two outstanding leaders in the committee that organized the first church that was dedicated in 1745 and the second church which was dedicated in 1757 were John Jacob Daubenspeck and Henrich Geiger. The last dedicated church in 1757 was built approximately in the center of Heidelburgh Township about a mile northwest of John Daubenspecks home. Today, however, if you were to go to Washington Township, Leheigh County and travel the road to Saegersville, near that place you would find the area in which the old church and cemetery plot stood (the old one and the new one that was started in 1932).

Here of course you could also find the lands in which at one time were owned by our ancestors, John Jacob Daubenspeck. In this area, there is a small granite monumement with a picture of a log church at the very top of the monument and down under it was written that the first church was built on this spot in 1745. Later rebuilt because a fire ruined the first one and rebuilt in 1756, dedicated in 1757. John Jacobs house was about one mile southwest of the church lands. The church stood one mile from Sagerville near the center of the township on the road to Neffsville. The first small springs of Weidelberg Creek rise upon the church lands. A new Cemetery was opened up in 1932.

Heidelberg Township is now Washington Township, Lehigh County Pennsylvania.

Lehigh County was formed from Northampton in 1812.

FENSTERMACHER FAMILY
From: History Of Lehigh County, Vol 1,2,& 3.
Transcribed by: Sandra Hart

Joseph Fenstermacher, son of Jacob, was born about the year 1750 in Longswamp, where he also acquired land, being taxed for 100 acres in 1779, and for 150 acres in 1780. His WILL is on record at the Berks courthouse in Vol. 4, page 363. It was made Dec. 26, 1805, and probated Aug 4, 18o6. His wife, Anna Margaret, m. n. Hoak, was the executrix, and provision was made in the will for his son, Johannes, to have the first right to the land at valuation, after her death. Her death evidently occurred prior to 1812, for on March 23rd of that year the heirs of Joseph Fenstermacher gave a release deed for 180 acres to his son, Johannes. The following are the names of their eight children:

i. Johannes, b. Feb. 8, 1776.

2. Peter, b. NOV. 20, 1778.

3. Rebecca, b. March 6, 1781, (wife of John Rau).

4. Catharina, b. Oct. 13, 178:2, (wife of George Kuhl).

5. Magdalena, b. Sept. 8, 1783, (wife of Jacob Leibensperger).

6. Elizabeth, b. May 24, 1788, (wife of Adam Keller).

7. Jacob, b. Sept. 11, 1789.

.8. Joseph.

Peter and Jacob are not mentioned in the WILL, nor were they parties to the release deed, probably having died before their father.

From SAR Application for Charles Wayne Hunt:
"Thomas Hunt was born, we think somewhere in Dutchess County, New York, on July 27, 1746. Hamilton Child's Gazetteer of Saratoga County, New York, published about 1849, when Thomas Hunt's youngest son Ephraim was still living on the home farm states that he was a pioneer "from Dutchess County". His war service is fully set forth in Pension Application No. W18083, Archives Building, Washington, D.C. He received Bounty Land Warrrant No. 987 on July 18, 1791. He died at Stillwater on Dec. 25, 1818. Thirty years after his death, his widow Jerusha filed application for pension, two years before she died. This was granted Aug. 9, 1849, at $416.66 per year, a good sum, retroactive to March 4, 1831. With this moey the family bought the fee title to the farm, all titled prior thereto in that neighborhood being lease holds under N.. Law. Parts of the Thomas Hunt Family Bible are filed with the Pension Application. Enlisting first as a Sergeant in the 4th New York Continental Line, in 1775, he was promoted and commissioned Ensign in 1775, Second Lieutenant in 1776, First Lieutenant on Nov. 9, 1777, thirty days after the second battle of Bemis Heights (Saratoga), in all of which campaigns he participated and knew the terrain as if he owned it. Gates' Headquarters at the second battle was in his father-in-law's weaving house, the Ephraim Woodworth farm. The latter was in the battles as captain of the local militia company, the 4th N.Y. of 13th Regiment. On Jan. 1, 1781 the 5 New York Continental Line Regiments were consolidated into 2, and Thomas Hunt and his commander, Colonel Frederick Weissenfels of Rye, N.Y. were supernumerary. But they then as company captain and as a commanding Colonel, joined New York State troops (Levies) formed to clean up the western Indians. They were both served as such to 1784.

EBENEZER« DOANE (Ebenezer,» Ephraim,3 John») was born at Triiro, Mass., Aug. 22, 1706 and was baptized there by Rev. John Avery, Sept. 13, 1713. He married Elizabeth Skillings, who was born Apr. 25,1713, the daughter of Samuel3 and Aroda (Haley) Skillings (John,9 Thomas1) of Kittery, and Falmouth, Me. Mr. Doane went to Falmouth perhaps as early as the spring of 1739, when seven or eight families, among whom were the principal inhabitants, removed from Provincetown to Casco Bay. He was probably a seafaring man. They settled at Long Creek, Cape Elizabeth. After the death of her husband, of which we have no record, Mrs. Doane went to live with her daughter, Joanna Berry, at Buckfield, where she died very aged. But little can be learned of Ebenezer Doane. The probate records were burned in the Portland fire. I copy the history of this family from the Maine Genealogical Recorder. The births of their children are not recorded on the town or church records of Cape Elizabeth, but the following list is made up from reliable sources.
