Below I have interspersed some, hopefully responsive, additional information
throughout John Wayland's questions and comments.

That's what I have, except I have "Christopher" instead of "Christian".
Source: Claude L. Yowell, Blankenbaker Family (The Germanna Record, No. 13
(Culpeper, VA: Memorial Foundation of the Germanna Colonies,Oct 1971; 2nd
printing Feb. 1982)), pp. 5, 9-10, 14.


I also need the dates
>on Christian, Jonas Elliott and Richard (and wives).

No dates for Christopher in my database, although Yowell says his will was
dated 26 April 1781, probated 16 July 1781 in Culpeper Co., VA.

Jonas: Yowell says Hebron shows born 18 June 1767; will dated 29 Oct. 1818;
probated 12 Nov. 1818 Madison Co., VA.

Elliott: No dates, but, according to Yowell, he was married in 1823.

Richard: No dates.

Elizabeth (Carpenter) Blankenbaker: According to John Connie Wilhite, Jr.,
First Four Generations of the Wilhoit-Wilhite Family in America (The
Germanna Record, No. 13 (Culpeper, VA: Memorial Foundation of the Germanna
Colonies,Oct 1971; 2nd printing Feb. 1982)), p. 60, she was born 28 Oct.
1765.

Frances (Utz) Blankenbaker: According to Yowell, she was born 10 Dec. 1802.

Sarah A. Wayland: My database shows her as born 13 Oct. 1825; died 1898.
My sources are: 1. B.C. Holtzclaw, Wayland Family (The Germanna Record, No.
11 (April 1968)), p. 95; 2. John Wayland <>, e-mail:
WAYLAND; WILHOIT; BLANKENBAKER ( (24 May
1998)). Looking at Holtzclaw, I see he gives only her birthdate, which he
lists as "1827 (Census)", so the information in my database must, in fact,
come from you, John Wayland.

Please note that I have not independently confirmed any of the information
provided above -- I have simply copied it from the cited secondary sources.

So far as I know, Sarah A. Wayland has only one Schoene descent. Elizabeth
(Blankenbaker) Wayland, shown on your nifty pedigree insert (how do you do
that?), was the daughter of immigrant Hans Balthasar Blankenbaker and his
wife Anne Margaret --?--. Balthasar's mother was Anna Barbara Schoene.

>Wade Gibbons Blankenbaker, b. 1868.

Thanks! I did not have this. Where did you find this information? Do you
know how Thomas B. Clore fits into the Clores?

>Mary L. Blankenbaker was the dtr. of E. Finks Blankenbaker (whose
g-grandmother
>was a Finks) and Sarah A. Finks. E. Finks was the son of Jonas
Blankenbaker and
>Elizabeth Carpenter. So, Mary and Finks were first cousins.

Congratulations, John! You've now raised the bidding for most Schoen
descents to at least FIVE (assuming Edgar F. and Mary L. (Blankenbaker)
Blankenbaker left descendants). Edgar F. Blankenbaker had three Schoen
descents, and Mary L. Blankenbaker has at least two: 1. Mary L.
Blankenbaker; 2. E. Finks Blankenbaker & Sarah A. Finks; 3. Elliott
Blankenbaker & Frances Utz; 4. Jonas Blankenbaker & Elizabeth Carpenter,
George Utz & Dinah Carpenter; 5. Christopher Blankenbaker & Christina Finks,
George Utz, Sr. & Mary Kaifer; 6. Hans Matthias Blankenbaker & Anna Maria
Mercklin, Wolff Michael Kaifer & Anna Maria Blankenbaker; 7. Hans Thomas
Blankenbuehler & Anna Barbara Schoene.

In addition, it is possible that Sarah A. Finks harbors additional Schoen
descents. Does anybody have her ancestry? I have not been able to figure
out where in she goes in the Finks pedigree.

Yeah! Me too!
