Hello,

I am interested in the Van Arsdale surname.

This does NOT appear to be "my" Van Arsdale family, but I am a firm believer in helping other researchers ... so I am sending this note to <> & <> & <> & <> & <>. A copy is also being posted to the Van Arsdale Mailing List <> since (after all) VAN ARSDALE is the surname which interests me <grin>.

At common threads <http://www.gensource.com/common/ctlist.cfm?no=1&sur=V562&T=S&Date=>; I did a search (looking for Van Arsdale, of course!) and found the following message:

> UTLEY , Thomas B. b: 1799 d: 1885 pb: Mercer Co., Kentucky pd: Linn Co., MO. pr: Linn Co., MO. m: 1824 sp: VANARSDALL , Sarah (Sally) Notes: Thomas & Sarah (Sally) had 11 children. ID#10677 from <>

When I looked in my database I found a the following note:

> To: brianter@@macatawa.org
> I am trying to find the parents of Sarah Vanarsdall who married Thomas B. Utley in mercer co, Ky in the 1820s.

I also did a search for UTLEY at <http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi?search>; and found LOTS of postings (more than 200) ...

At <http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ky/Mercer?read=1476>; there was this message:

> Posted by Jim on Wed, 23 Jun 1999
> I am a descendant of Thomas Utley and Sarah Vanarsdall who m. in 1824. He is the son of Josiah and Nancy Utley. She is the
> daugher of Christopher/Christoffel Van Arsdalen(d.1813) and Lydia Collier. I am trying to tie Christopher to Somerset Co.,
> NJ. He may be the son of Auke/Oake Van Arsdale. Any proof of Christopher's parents?

At <http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ky/Mercer?read=1479>; you will find the following:
Posted by BBurge <> I am also a descendent of Josiah and Nancy Barker-Utley. Have not been able to find anything on Josiah but she was the daughter of William and Ann Evans-Barker. They both came from Goochland Co., VA and settled in Mercer Co. KY.

At <http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ky/Mercer?read=1480>; <> posted:

> Josiah was born Feb. 26, 1774 in Goochland Co., VA. His birth is recorded in The
> Douglas Registar being a detailed record of Births, Marriages and Deaths together with other interesting notes, as kept by the
> Rev. William Douglas, from 1750-1797. Josiah d. January 07, 1853, Mercer Co., KY. Josiah parents were John Utley and

So, that is the compilation of UTLEY / VANARSDALE messages I found this evening ... but I still didn't find my own elusive Van Arsdale <g>. Hope it is useful to "somebody" ...
