BIO SKETCHES OF THE PASSENGERS IN THE VAN RENS BOWIER MANUSCRIPTS REPRODUCED IN THE NEW YORK STATE LIB. 90TH ANNUAL REPORT VOL. 2, SUPPLEMENT 7 1997: "Juriaen Bestval (Bestvall, Bestivall, Westval, Westvael, Westvaelt, van Westvaele), from Luyderdorp [Leiderdorp, near Leyden]; came by de Houttuyn and drew wages in the colony from Aug. 13, 1642. In July, 1644, he is referred to as servant of Michiel Jansz. Jan. 14, 1649, Juriaen Bestval and Jochem Kettelheym took over from Evert Pels the remaining term of the lease, till May 1, 1653, of the farm formerlly occupied by Symon Walichsz; Oct. 8, 1651, Jochem Kettelheym was released from his obligations and Juriaen Bestval became solely responsible. This farm was on Papscanee Island and was leased from May 1, 1653, to May 1, 1658, by Pieter Hartgers, and in 1658 sold to Volckert Jansz and Jan Thomasz."

A footnote on the page where this appears says: [re his name] "This name is given in the account books among the *Rensselaerswyck Mss* as *Jurriaen Bestvall, Bestevall, Bestivall, Bestwall, Westval, Westvael, Westvaelt, and Westphael. In a patent to Johanna de Laet, for land at Esopus, March 27, 1657, *Dutch Patents, HH,* p. 74, he is referred to as Juriaen van Westphalen."

On another page [p.740], in something called "Memorandum of farms in the colony" [a footnote says this is not part of the Van R. Bowier MSS, but is found in the Rensselaerwyck Mss.. It is endorsed: *1651 Notietie Vn de Bouwerijen In Nieunederland Ende Wat deselve Behoorde te Rendeeren: Vut Capt. slijters Raport* (1651, Memorandum of the farms in New Netherland and what rent the same should bring; from Capt. Slijter's eport)--we have the entry for our Juriaen.

Notes for MARRETJE HANSEN:
IMAGRATED FROM HOLLAND IN 1640.

WHEN HER MOTHER DIED MARRETJE WAS JUST 9 YEARS OLD. HER FATHER PLACED HER AND HER SISTER ELSA IN THE HOME OF PHILLIP GARRETSON, A FARM FAMILY, WHERE THEY WERE TAUGHT SEWING, COOKING AND OTHER HOUSEHOLD DUTIES.

Kingston court records again In 1670, a Maritie Hansen appears in court, as wife of Jacob Jansen, suing Edward Whitaker for doctor bills, etc, because Edward beat her husband senseless, leaving him unable to work. She "further requests to be relieved of the farm because her husband can no longer manage same."

There was also a bequest to Abraham, his nephew, "son of my brother" (this child Abraham lived with Juriaen and his family after his mother remarried and moved away). PETER WAS KIDNAPPED BY INDIANS: It is said that Peter was found, and when he was of age, he did come back, and could speak mostly in Indian dialect, but he went back to the tribe, and to the Indian girl he had married. I presume he collected his horse, saddle and bridle and the money due him. If there are any records regarding his children they would be in the Indian records.

John came to VA in 1773 at the age of about 13 and resided on a farmlet (rented farm land) on Lord Fairfax's 50,000 acre lands called South Branch Manor. This land is around the present city of Petersburg, WV. John shows in 1782 Hampshire Co tax record used to reconstruct the missing 1790 VA census with a total of 7 people. Since [father] Cornelius died in 1781 this could be family or farm help but definitely not his wife and children as he would be about 21 at this time.

John enlisted in the Continental Army (7th VA regiment) in 1780 for 18 months service. He joined at Winchester, VA and did service at Hillsborough, NC, Guilford Courthouse, NC (not in this battle), and was discharged at Salisbury, NC according to pension records. He could have been in Kings mtn, Cowbins, and Yorktown battle but I have not studied the activities of the 7th VA regiment in the Continental army (another project as well as Capt Abel Westfall's 8th VA).

Henry held every office in the Militia of Virginia, from Corporal to Brigadier General, serving in these various capacities from 1817-1865. He was also deputy sheriff, clerk of the circuit and country courts and postmaster at Buckhannon, from 1832-1852. Henry F. Westfall owned much land, around Buckhannon, and his home, a log house, was on what is now 82 S. Kanawha Street. He was living here at the time of the war, but at that time, it was not in the town. His wife was dead and though he had people living in his home, he took most of his meals away from home, at his neighbors. Most of those mentioned in the diary, were living between his home and Main Street, on Kanawha Street. He mentions Victoria V. Mooney. She was the daughter of his daughter, Elizabeth, who married James Mooney. She was her grandfather's pet, and though he was an ardent Union man, she was a fiery little rebel, and at one time, was sent with another young girl, not to Camp Chase, but to a Sanitarium outside of Columbus, Ohio, really for their own protection. They were kept under guard the night before they were taken away.

History of Ritchie County: The following is taken from the book "History of Ritchie County" written by Minnie Kendall Lowther, and published in 1910.Transcribed by Janet Waite: John W. Westfall, purchased both the mill and the farm, and moved his family here, where he spent the remainder of his life. He sold the mill in 1857, to the late Joseph Frederick, but the farm remained in the hands of the heirs until a few years since, when it passed into the hands of W. E. Hill, who sold it to Henry Barker, in 1909.

Children of JOHN WESTFALL and ELIZABETH SIMON are:

Notes for JOEL J. WESTFALL:  "History of Ritchie County" written by Minnie Kendall Lowther, and published in 1910. Transcribed by Janet Waite.

"Joel J. Westfall was born at Buckhannon, on August 24, 1819, and here in the wilds of the forest, he grew to manhood, having every opportunity to indulge his love for hunting and adventure; and some of these boyish adventures are scarcely less thrilling than those of "Robinson Crusoe", or Stanley in the jungles of Africa: When he was but a small lad of seven summers, on July 26, 1826, he killed the largest rattle snake on record in West Virginia, while alone in the forest watching the horses for his father. This mammoth snake measured nine feet four inches, with rattles one one-half inches broad. At the age of eleven years, he killed three deer by moonlight in the forest near Buckhannon; and the following year three panthers fell as his victims, and at the age of fourteen, he slew a bear with his tomahawk. This was only the beginning of a hunting record, which, perhaps, can hardly be duplicated by another lad among the early settlers of the State. At one time he killed a bear and a panther, which had just taken the life of a deer. So famous did these early adventures make him, that he was known far and wide, as the "Boy Hunter". On one occasion when he came into possession of a new gun, as a reward for his skillful marksmanship, he was asked by his father what he wished to do with this gun. He replied that he wished to kill wild animals, but that he especially desired to find a bear cave that he had heard much about through his uncle. So with his father's consent, one fine morning he set out in quest of this cave, which he finally reached after a long and perilous search. It was in a large ledge of rocks, miles distant from his home, and, searching out the entrance, he at once started to explore the Interior, but finding the darkness so dense, he was forced to retreat. However, securing a pine torch and taking his gun in hand, he again crawled inside, expecting to find the bear asleep, but by the time he had proceeded fifty or sixty feet, he realized the fallacy of this expectation, when he saw the glare of the bruin's eye coming toward him. Stepping to one side, he prepared to fire, but for fear of being forced out of the cave, he slid into a crevice, and the animal dashed by him with force, and presently he heard him fall from the cliff outside, a distance of thirty feet, and he knew that he must be dead; and going outside, he joyfully claimed his prey and set out for home, which he reached after several days' absence to the relief of his mother, who had been greatly annoyed by his prolonged stay. In after life his hand did not "lose its cunning", for while a resident of California, he killed the largest bear on record in that State. It having weighed one thousand pounds.

At the age of seventeen years, he was made lieutenant of Co. D, 133rd Regiment of the Virginia Militia, an office which he held for seven years; and he was Captain of the Militia after he came to this county. On January 22, 1843, he was married to Miss Eliza B. Mills, daughter of W. R. Mills, of Pocahontas county, the marriage being solemnized at the home of her brother at Weston; and J. R. Westfall, of Smithville, was the one child of this union and when he was still in "the frocks of babyhood" his young mother passed on, and on the Frederick homestead she sleeps.

On April 4, 1854, leaving his young son with his parents, Mr. Westfall started for California - lured there by the gold excitement - where he amassed quite a fortune, and where he rose to prominence in State affairs. At one time, while digging for gold, he unearthed a nugget that weighted nineteen ounces, and was valued at one thousand dollars. He served as Deputy Sheriff at Mariposa for four years, at the end of which time he was elected Road Commissioner and Supervisor, an office which he held for sixteen consecutive years, and one that is higher in point of importance than that of our sheriff. Politically he is a Democrat, and he enjoyed the honor of being a member of the committee that Escorted William Jennings Bryan, and his distinguished party on their tour Through the "Golden State", during Mr. Bryan's first compaign for the Presidency And he had the pleasure of eating several lunches that were prepared by the hand Of Mrs. Bryan. On October 6, 1906, he bade adieu to his adopted state and returned to Smithville, where he is quietly spending the evening hours of his life with his son. He is now a nonagenarian, but his memory is a remarkable store-house of interesting reminiscences of pioneer days. Later, he died on October 30, 1910, and was laid away at Smithville, on the homestead of his son.

Notes for JOHN WESTFALL:  BULLITT COUNTY, KY CIRCUIT COURT EQUITY CASE 'BROOKS HEIRS VS REED ET. AL' INDEXED AS BUNDLE 75 YEAR 1811. BOX 8 PACLET 8-22; PROBATE RECORD FOR BROTHER DANIEL; LAWRENCE/ORANGE/WASHINGTON CO., IND. MAY 15, 1831: Received of Henry Westfall administrator for the estate of Daniel Westfall, $40.00 my part of the estate as per agreement made between the said administrator, the rest of the heirs and myself John Westfall.

FAMILY BIBLE, The Westfall-McAhron Bible record is in the possession of Lois Hutchins Whitlock of Corning, Tehama County, CA. She received it from her maternal aunt, Ida McAhron Mortenson, who, in turn, had been given the Bible after the death of her father, Jacob Lewis McAhron. John Westfall entered most of the record himself. This is substantiated by a comparison of the handwriting in the Bible record, John's handwriting and signature on original court records (such as Brooks Heirs vs. Reed, et al., Bullitt Circuit Court, KY). Upon examination of James McAhron's signature, it is likely that he wrote some of his children's birth entries. James McAhron, son of William McAhron and Jane Lewis, was born in Bardstown, Nelson County, KY. Around 1819 he moved with his parents to Bullitt County, KY, where he reared his own family and died.

That the Bible originally belonged to John Westfall is also supported by Bullitt County court records which show that Andrew Eddington (Bible page 679) had been apprenticed to John Westfall on 16 June 1821. Furthermore, Samuel and Jenny Quick (Bible page 579) are undoubtedly the same as the Samuel Quick and Jenneke Kortrecht who married 1 June 1775, in the Minisink-Machackemeck Dutch Reformed Church, Orange County, NY. Both Samuel's and Jenny's mothers' maiden names were Westfall. Samuel's and Jenny's daughter, Lydia Quick Williams, was John Westfall's fourth cousin.

John Westfall's father and both of Sarah Westfall's parents were baptized in the Minisink-Machackemeck Dutch Reformed Church. Daniel and Henry Westfall were brothers, sons of Johannes Westfall and Apollonia Kortrecht. Sarah Westfall's father was Henry Westfall, her mother Susanna Kortrecht, daughter of William Kortrecht who was a brother of Apollonia Kortrecht and a relative of Jenneke Kortrecht above. Brothers Daniel and Henry Westfall left the East Coast and moved to what is now West Virginia. They then removed to what is now Bullitt County, KY, in 1789/90. Their offspring, John Westfall and Sarah Westfall, married in Bullitt County, KY.

After the death of both of his parents, Jacob Lewis McAhron took the Bible with him when he moved to Carroll County, IN, in the 1850s. Alice D. McAhron, born in Carroll County, IN, was Jacob's first child. Jacob's sister Minerva also moved to the same county, where she married Alfred E. Briney. Greenup Briney, their son, was born in Carroll County, IN. Samuel L. Nichols lived on land adjacent to James McAhron's father, William McAhron, on the Salt River near Cedar Point Creek, Bullitt County, KY. Samuel's half-brother, Shadrack Anderson Nichols, married Ellen Jane McAhron, daughter of William McAhron and his second wife, Jane Tingle.

Child of JOHN WESTFALL and SARAH WESTFALL is:

Notes for LYDIA WILSON SMITH: [Sandra misidentified Lydia as Linda NEE Smith (meaning, I assume maiden name Smith, which is also incorrect. The marriage license is difficult to read and the mistake is understandable.   Lydia (Wilson) Smith is my great great grandmother. She was the person who passed on to my grandmother, (Osa Westfall) Corbett the Westfall family "history."  My grandmother was 10 years old when Lydia died at age 83 in 1907. My grandmother passed the story on to me. The basic "facts" she remembered was that we were were descended from a "lord or pier or some such" named John (John of Foxhall Manor - Thomas Chambers who raised John was Lord of Foxhall Manor). Considering how young she was the parallels in her story and the truth are surprising- RNW]

Notes for JACOB WESTFALL: 1860 Census for Henry County in New London Township

YELLOW SPRINGS AND HURON TOWNSHIP, by J.W. Merril and published 1897 in Mediapolis, IA we find the following items:

pg 27 ".....They (the Blairs) found a cabin at Yellow Spring, occupied by Jacob Westfall and Allen Eliot, a brother of Mrs. Westfall. These claimants had come in the winter of 1834, and the Westfall cabin was the first habitation built in the township. ....... In this cabin, a few months later, Jacob Westfall jr first saw the light of day and set up his claim, which has never been disputed, as being the first white child born in Yellow Springs township."

pg 31 " Josiah Edwards married Pamelia Westfall in the spring of 1836. This was the first wedding in Yellow Spring Township. " and "In the spring of 1836, Reuben Westfall, the father of Jacob came, with his children and relatives - an extensive connection when they all got in. They were the Andersons, Kings, Proctors, Swanks, Rouses, Holts, Gobens and Barnes, who settled near Yellow Spring, on the south side of Round Prairie, and on the Bottom."

pg 49 "THE WESTFALL FAMILY. It has been a difficult matter to obtain any sketch of this family of early settlers. Jacob was one of the first claim makers and built the first cabin in the township, as otherwhere recorded. He appears to have been a man given to hospitality, and his cabin was a home and a preaching place for the itinerant for many years. His father, Reuben Westfall, and other sons came in later, settling in the Yellow Spring neighborhood and on the Bottom. They are all gone now. One son, Jacob Jr. the first white child born in the township, was here a few years ago, but he is now in the west.

Notes for VICTORIA VIRGINIA MOONEY: WESTFALL AND HART FAMILIES IN UPSHUR COUNT WESTFALL AND HART FAMILIES IN UPSHUR COUNTY; "Meanwhile, Col. Westfall's granddaughter, Victoria Virginia Mooney (1844-1924) according to various sources, was a young rebel girl in Buckhannon, and refused to walk under the Union flag during the Civil War. She was arrested, taken to Camp Chase in Ohio, allowed to stay at a sanatorium, and eventually released. Creed Hart, upon his return from the war, married this rebel girl, and they settled in Buckhannon. Creed was a merchant and he and Victoria raised a family of four children, including Henry Westfall Hart (1876-1950) the grandfather of the author of this paper. Both Creed and Victoria died and were buried in Buckhannon."

The Harts lived on the same land, as had Mr. Westfall. The old log house burned to the ground, but a lovely brick home was built, which today, remodeled, still stands back from the street, on a spacious lawn. Just in the past ten years has it gone out of the family. Mrs. Hart's daughter, Frances Ritzinger, has passed away, but she will always be remembered for her charming graciousness, her lovely voice, and her willingness to sing, for her friends,accompanying herself at the piano.

PROTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL ALBUM, LOUISA COUNTY, IOWA 1889 F627 28 page 8: G.W. Westfall, a farmer residing on section 7, Oakland Township, was born in Boone Counlty, Ind., in 1831, and was the second in a family of nine children born to Jacob and Caroline (Elliott) Westfall. His father was a native of Kentucky, while his mother was born in York State, and when a young man Jacob Westfall removed to Indiana, where he was married and there followed farming for several years. In 1834 he followed the course of Western emigration, settling in Des Moines County, Iowa, entering a claim in Yellow Springs Township, which he later purchased at the Burlington land sales. He also resided in Washington and Henry Counties, and in 1862 came to Louisa County, locating in Oakland Township, where he remained some years, when he went to Kansas, but after a short time returned to Louisa County, and made his home with our subject until his death, which occurred June 20, 1874. His wife survived him for about two years, dying Nov. 29, 1876.

Our subject grew to manhood upon a farm, and received his education in the district schools of the state. He was among the first to respond to his country's call for troops, enlisting in September 1861 as First Sergeant of Company D, 4th Iowa Cavalry, and was mustered into service at Camp Harlan in Mt. Pleasant. He participated in the battle of Vicksburg, and was engaged in scouting expeditions and skirmishes in the Southern and Southwestern States. In the battle of Oakland, Miss., he was wounded by gunshot, and on the 4th of November 1864, was honorably discharged at Davenport, Iowa. After the cessation of hostilities, he returned to Louisa County, where, during his term of service, he had purchased a farm of 230 acres. He has since disposed of a part of that tract, and now has remaining about sixty acres of fine, arable land, which is highly cultivated and improved.

On the 2d of September, 1869, in Louisa County, Mr. Westfall led to the marriage alter Miss Alice M. Blake, daughter of Joseph and Ester (Hungerford) Blake, the father a native of Greenbrier County, W.Va., the mother of New York. Accompanied by his family, the father came to Louisa County in 1838, settling in Oakland Township. He had then been twice married, and in 1851 wedded Esther Hungerford, who came to the county in 1845. They setled on section 7, Oakland Township, he buying the land at the Burlington land sales, and there resided until his death, Dec 14, 1883, aged eighty years. Mrs. Blake is still living, and resides in Barber County, Kan.

By the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Westfall two children were born; Lottie I., wife of E. Garard, who lives on the old homestead; and Gertie, who died March 4, 1881, at the age of four years. Mr. Westfall is an active worker for the interests of the Republican party, and an ardent supporter of its principles. He has held several local offices of trust, in which he discharged his duties faithfully and well. His home is pleasantly situated about two miles from Columbus Junction, between the forks of the rivers, where the land is very productive. He is a systematic and progressive farmer, and as a citizen ranks high in the community.
