Part 8


         We've all seen movies and TV shows of the 'wild west', but did we ever think that those pioneers had descendants, or that we might be related. It would never have occurred to me being born in England. Not that I am really, only by marriage. The first Langstroth to emigrate was Benjamin 1679 - 1749 a quaker  who around 1700 went to Pennsylvania possibly with William Penn. He was followed soon after by his nephew Martin 1720 - 1778  whose name was somehow changed to Longstreth. Both emigrated for religious freedom and would have endured hardships in establishing or improving the colony. After four generations we arrive at Susan Elizabeth Longstreth 1858 - 1938 who married  Joseph Daniel Boone 1855 - 1940 . Imagine my excitement here at the possibility. They had ten children, the last was Lawrence C. Boone who died 1974. Being the children of a Langstroth these Boones were blood relatives of my wife.
         The Boones , also quakers had left Devon abt 1700  the same time that the Langstroths left Yorkshire. Yet it took till 1876 for the two to be united in marriage. So tracing  the Boone line back would mean that I was not dealing with 'blood relatives'  Would Joseph Daniel Boone prove to be a direct descendant of Daniel Boone ?   Unfortunately no ,  Daniel's cousin's great great grandson is , Daniel G Boone

Names:    Boone, Daniel  father Boone, Squire Snr brother Boone, James son Boone, John son Boone, James son Boone, William son Boone, Joseph Daniel son Boone, Daniel


   Charnley, RICHARD mother Langstroth, ISABELLA father Langstroth, JOHN father Langstroth, JOHN father Langstroth, STEPHEN father Langstroth, JOHN father Langstroth, CHRISTOPHER son Langstroth, Martin son Longstreth, Martin son Longstreth, Philip son Longstreth, Thomas son Longstreth, Philip daughter Longstreth, Susan Elizabeth son Boone, Daniel G

So near, yet  so far

There are still a few Langstroths to investigate

Hello Aussie Roy

Do you think the Charles WINGATE, 1796 - 1864 , is the same Charles as appears on my web page: http://www.windeatt.f2s.com/windeatt/families/selsea_family.htm  and in the Fulford Court Case Notes on Genuki Devon (linked on page)?

This looks a distinct possibility  Windeatt as I have his parents as William and Elizabeth. Also siblings William, Charlotte,  John and George. I would be interested in seeing more.  It looks like the whole Wingate family were mariners or customs officers.

I don't see why not if it's relevant.   Where's your page ?

[windeatt]

The one I linked before:

I already have a link to this rootschat page but I could add the one to your family tree page as well.

G'day Roy,

I'm well impressed with all the research you have done!
I wish I had as much information as you, so I shall just have to keep digging.

Cheers,
Dot.

Hey Hey!, today 15/1/09 I found a William Wingate that emigrated to South Australia abt 1856 from Sussex, I cant establish a connection to my tree yet. Sure there must be one though.  Those Wingates in Pagham Sussex are worse than Smiths . It's one of the wifes rellies again.
