Note for:   Franklin John Ewell,   APR 1835 - ABT 1892
He and his wife were traveling Nazarene missionaries in the Oklahoma
Territories. Franklin was first married to Ellen Erminda Buck at Gowanda, NY.
They had 5 children. 1. Franklin Jr. (1862-1863) He was buried on his grand-
father's lot in Evergreen Cemetery, Wyoming, NY. 2. Fred Dana (1864-1933).
3. Nellie May (1865-1941), had 8 children. 4. Emma Grace (1869-1902), had 4
children. 5. Minnie (1871- ). Franklin and Ellen were divorced. He married
the second time to Emma Rebecca Roberts. He preached in the Free Methodist
Church in Perry, NY, 1870-1872. Soon after his second marriage they moved to
Pawnee Co. in the new state of Kansas, and homesteaded there. He built a sod
house on the claim. There his last nine children were born. It was a hard
life on the dry plains of Kansas. Later they moved to Arkansas. He was
farming and the people there told him not to get out and work in the early
morning dew and not to drink from the open springs. He ignored them. He
thought the other people were lazy and they just didn't want to get out early
to work. He became ill and died with malaria in 1892.

Note for:   Margueretha Haus,   4 APR 1686 -
In determining Margaretha's mother's name I have gone to the birth register to
look for a Margaretha born to a Georg Haus (Georg's name is given in
Margaretha's marriage note). There is only one such combination in the book,
and that Georg's marriage was in 1681 to Anna Barthhusser, the correct time
frame to have been the parents of Margaretha.
From the church book we find that Georg and Anna were married without the usual
announcements and that Anna was apparently in an advanced state of pregnancy.
At the time of the marriage Georg's name was spelled JORG HUSS, and his father
was noted to have been another Hans Huss. Both fathers were deceased at the
time of the wedding.

Notes


Note for:   Georg Haus,   30 JAN 1652/53 -
Determining Georg's parents presented some problems. From the marriage record
we know that his father was a Hans Huss who was deceased at the time of the
marriage. A review of the birth register shows two Georgs born to Hans Husses
in the correct time frame and both had mothers named Anna. These Hans Husses
were recorded as Hans "der Alter" and Hans "der Junger". Both were deceased at
the time of Georg's marriage in 1681, "der Alter" dying in 1676 and "der
Junger" dying in 1663. However the record does give a clue...Georg's first
child had as a godfather a Claus Sanger, the son of Hans Sanger. The Georg Huss
born to Hans "der Alter" had as a godfather Hans Sanger. Therefore I feel
confident that Hans "der Alter" was the father we are looking for.

Grew up in Center, Oklahoma. She died in Titusville, Florida while visiting her
daughter Betty Kidd. During that visit she fell on a garden hose and had a cast
applied, and at a subsequent visit to remove the cast, apparently suffered a
fatal pulmonary embolus from a clot that had formed at the site of the injury.
