SANTMYER, Cornell S. (I0105)
 
409 Fanny Ethel Santmyer Rowley was called Ethel by all who knew her -but to her grandchildren she was just "Mom", a name, which I as her first grandchild, bestowed upon her. I think she had a difficult life. I'm not saying her life was unhappy, but I think there were some very hard times. As a young girl she was captivated by Stephen's charm and good looks. Most girls of 21 would be pleased and encouraged with the attentions of a man 10 years their senior, and, indeed, she was. She was falling in love - and that should have been the happy beginning. Instead, her parents refused to allow her to be courted by Stephen. I believe, because of his age, they thought him too worldly and a lady's man. It troubled her deeply to go against her parents, but she continued to see Stephen away from under their watchful eyes. Love blossomed! They eloped! They were married at the McBroom family hotel on 8th Avenue in Homestead, Pa. The hotel was run by Margaret and John McBroom, Stephen's aunt and uncle. Ethel and Steve lived here in the hotel until 1913. This should have been such a happy time for Ethel and it would have been except that her Papa had disowned her. He ban her from visiting and refused to go to see her. Her mother did visit her after a while. In 1914, she and Steve had moved to Flatwoods, Pa. It was here that their first child, James Richard (named for his grandfathers), was born. It was after the birth of James that Papa eased up on his stand toward Ethel and Steve's marriage. The family accepted Steve, and once they really got to know him, they loved him dearly.

"Mom" always had a special story to tell. Her bedtime stories were far better than any story from a book. Sometimes they were scary, other times they were like fairy tales, but most often they were about kids just like me. As I grew into my teens and young adulthood, the bedtime stories were replaced with talking about my interests and friends. It was during these years that we talked a lot about her parents and siblings. After a time I began to feel as if I had actually known all of them. Her stories of her family were so vivid, that they seemed to come alive to me. I never tired of hearing her talk of her family and her growing up years. This was actually the beginning of my interest in the "family tree".

423 Frederick came from Pennsylvania to Stephenson Co. in 1850. He was married first to Hannah Ritzman who was the mother of his first three children. After her death in 1852 he married Caroline Emmert the following year. Upon coming to Stephenson Co. he settled first at Buena Vista where he served as justice of the peace for many years. At one time or another he held most of the local offices. After the death of his second wife he married Diana, the widow of John Bogar. (Freeport Daily Bulletin, Nov. 25, 1885)  BOLENDER, Frederick (I86094)
 
424 from Biographical Annals of Franklin Co.:

" . . John Zentmyers, a wagonmaker by trade, who, coming from Lancaster County, located near Upton, Franklin County, in 1817, but later farmed in Antrim Township, and still later worked at his trade in Peters Township. He died about 1854 (sic) in Antrim Township, and was interred in the old United Bretheran cemetery at Greencastle, a man highly respected during life, and sincerely mourned at death."

Burials in the Bretheran Cemetery were removed to Cedar Hill Cemetery in July of 1958. A bronze plaque there states, "This hallowed place is dedicated to the memory of those originally buried in the cemetery of the First E. U. B. Church, Greencastle, between 1812-1889, and removed to this plot July 1958." Unfortunately, no individual names are noted.

 
ZENTMEYER, John S. (I1967)
 
425 From the 1860 Census it appears in Adam and Susanna, George and Elizabeth, as well as William Ruth and his wife moved to Naperville, Illinois.  RUTH, Elizabeth (I3027)
 
426 From various sources he have good data that John was quite the entrepreneur. He farmed, bought and sold logs, and mined iron ore, having located his residences near the Springfield Furnace, Huntingdon Furnace, and the Juniata Iron Works, early blast furnaces in Huntingdon County.

"John Zentmyer was born in Franklin County, Pa., near the South Mountains, not far from Pen Mar, about 1806. (probably 1808 -Ed) In 1831 he went to Springfield Furnace, Blair County, (actually Huntingdon County, Blair County was not formed until 1846 -Ed) where he remained for some time, (four years -Ed) after which he moved to Spruce Creek valley to the farm now owned by the heirs of Robert L. Henderson. He then rented one of the farms of the Huntingdon Furnace Company, and in 1866 bought a farm in Porter township, Huntingdon county, where he resided until his death." -Commemorative Biographical Encyclopedia of the Juniata Valley: Comprising the Counties of Huntingdon, Mifflin, Juniata and Perry, Pennsylvania, Containing Sketches of Prominent and Representative Citizens and Many of the Early Settlers. Chambersburg, Pa.: J. M. Runk & Co., 1897, pages 118-119.

"He was well known as Major Zentmyer, having held that rank in the State militia. He married Margaret Gates, of Blair county, (see Blair Co. note above -Ed) who died about 1889. Mr. Zentmyer died in 1891; he and his wife are buried in a small graveyard on the farm." (However, there are currently no Zentmyer headstones in the farm cemetery, now called the Huyett Cemetery. The headstones are located in the Alexandria Presbyterian Cemetery, indicating a likely relocation of the graves. -Ed)

"Their children are: Isabella, wife of David Kinch, of Altoona; David (who died at the Battle of Fredricksburg -Ed); Frank, enlisted in Company I, Fifth Pennsylvania Reserves, was wounded at Fredericksburg, and died in Libby Prison; Priscilla, wife of E. C. Kinch, resides near Altoona; Porter, secretary and treasurer of the Clearfield Manufacturing Company; Miles, attorney in Schuyler, Neb.; Margaret, wife of David C. Stine, Bellefonte, Pa.; John W., insurance solicitor, resides in Blair county; Benjamin, on the homestead; and George, who died young." - article provided by Dante Hebert, Kingston, Washington

"After a brief illness, Major John Zentmyer died on Wednesday evening at his home in Hartzlog [sic] Valley, Potter township, Huntingdon county. While the deceased had not resided in Blair county for some years past, yet he was well known throughout the county and especially among the older citizens. Born near Williamsport, Md., March 24, 1808, he came to what is now Blair, but was then Huntingdon county, in the year 1832, settling at Springfield Furnace. There in the same year he was married to Margaret Gates, who preceded him to the tomb some three years, after a long and happy married life. Major Zentmyer's death was sudden, for he had been always very strong in health. Some ten days ago, however, he contracted a heavy cold, which resulted in typhoid pneumonia, and this disease was the cause of his demise. He removed from this county to Hartslog Valley in 1866. To Mr. and Mrs. Zentmyer, nine children were born. The living children are: Isabella, wife of David Kinch, of Altoona; Priscilla, wife of E. C. Kinch, of Sinking Valley; Maggie, wife of D. C. Stone, of Bellefonte; Miles Zentmyer, esq., an attorney of Schuyler, Neb.; Porter R., superintendent of the Clearfield Creek Coal company, Madera, Pa., and John and Benjamin, residing on the old homestead. In politics Major Zentmyer was a staunch democrat and during the war was a candidate on that ticket in Huntingdon county for the legislature. He was not successful, however. In religion he was a Reformed and was a member of the church at Alexandria. Funeral will take place at noon to-day and the interment will be in the family burying ground on the farm." Morning Tribune, Altoona, Pa., Friday, March 13, 1891

428 Garret Hobart was the fourth cousin of our grandfather Frank Grant Hobart.

"Garret Augustus Hobart was the 24th Vice President of the United States (1897-1899), serving under President William McKinley. He was the sixth American vice president to die in office.
Hobart was born in Long Branch, New Jersey, on the Jersey Shore, and grew up in nearby Marlboro. After attending Rutgers College, Hobart read law with prominent Paterson attorney Socrates Tuttle. Hobart both studied with Tuttle, and married his daughter. Although he rarely set foot in a courtroom, Hobart became wealthy as a corporate lawyer.
Hobart served in local governmental positions, and then successfully ran for office as a Republican, serving in both the New Jersey General Assembly and the New Jersey Senate. He became Speaker of the first, and president of the latter. Hobart was a longtime party official, and New Jersey delegates went to the 1896 Republican National Convention determined to nominate the popular lawyer for vice president. Hobart's political views were similar to those of McKinley, who was the presumptive Republican presidential candidate. With New Jersey a key state in the upcoming election, McKinley and his close adviser, future senator Mark Hanna, decided to have the convention select Hobart. The vice-presidential candidate emulated his running mate with a front porch campaign, though spending much time at the campaign's New York City office. McKinley and Hobart were elected.
As vice president, Hobart proved a popular figure in Washington and was a close adviser to McKinley. Hobart's tact and good humor were valuable to the President, as in mid-1899 when Secretary of War Russell Alger failed to understand that McKinley wanted him to leave office. Hobart invited Alger to his New Jersey summer home, and broke the news to the secretary, who submitted his resignation to McKinley on his return to Washington. Hobart died in November 1899 of heart disease at age 55; his place on the Republican ticket in 1900 was taken by New York Governor Theodore Roosevelt." -Wikipedia

Footnote: McKinley was assassinated in 1901, and Roosevelt became President. Garrett Hobart would have become President instead had he not inconveniently died. -Ed.

429 Georg Emmert and wife Eva Maria were birth sponsors in Altalaha Church records in the years 1758, 1765, 1771, 1776, 1783, 1784, 1785, 1788, 1789, and 1795  EMMERT, Johann Georg (I1915)
 
430 George may be the son of Jacob or possibly his nephew and son of George and Elizabeth Dunn Santmyer. SANTMYER, George (I0200)
 
431 George migrated from Nebraska to Los Angeles with his parents and older brother John in 1918. He earned BA and MS degrees from UCLA, and later a PhD in Plant Pathology from UC Berkeley in 1838. After short stints at the Division of Forest Pathology at the USDA in San Francisco and the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station at New Haven, Connecticut, where he also met and married his wife Dorothy, George settled into what would be a life-long tenure at the Department of Plant Pathology at the University of California, Riverside in 1944. He is best known for his work researching and developing avocado root stocks which proved resistant to root rot caused by the water mold Phytophthora Cinnamomi, which threatened the avocado industry in California and around the world. He was a sportsman, active in community affairs, and was widely honored professionally.  ZENTMYER, Dr. George Aubrey Jr. (I176)
 
432 George served in the Civil War on the Confederate side in the 8th Battalion Virginia Reserves in Company A, enlisted 19 Jul 1864. Company A was commanded by Captain D. W. Ridgeway. This company was also known as the Warren Reserves. It was mustered into Confederate service at Front Royal, with Captain E.B. Powell as mustering officer.

According to Cousin Ron Santmyers, these individuals had been previously exempted from service in the Confederate Army for reasons ranging from a disability, possession of an important skill, or old age.

435 George was the son of Edmund Hobart Sr. & Margaret Dewey. In 1640 in England, he married Elizabeth Watts. To this union, 8 children were born.

George Hubbard did not immigrate at the same time as his parents. He arrived two years later, in September of 1635 aboard the Dorst John Flower.

His name first appears in 1639 in a list of the early settlers of Hartford. These settlers came overland from the vicinity of Boston during the years 1635 and 1636, and located the towns of Windsor, Hartford, and Wethersfield, Ct., also Springfield, Mass. GEORGE HUBBARD was one of the number. He was given six acres of land "by courtesy of the town, with privilege of wood & keeping cows on the common," and resided on a lot adjacent to the land of James Ensign and George Graves on a road that ran parallel with the Connecticut River. This road ran from South Meadow to George Steel's land, and then turned and ran across the "ox pasture" towards Wethersfield, passing near to the Great Swamp. In 1640 he married Elizabeth Watts who was assigned a "home-lot" and land upon the east side of the "Great River." The colonial records show that "William Swanyne and George Hubbard were appointed Sep 4, 1640, appraisers of the estate of Edward Mason," and April 24, 1649, George Hubbard was "fined £10 for exchanging a gun with an Indian."

He appears to have disposed of his land and moved with about fifteen other families in March, 1650-51 to Mattabesett, so called until 1653, when it became Middletown. When he moved from Hartford, he carried with him a commission from the Colonial Government as "Indian Agent and Trader for the Mattabessett District." In 1654 he was made freeman, and settled with is son-in-law, Thomas Wetmore, upon opposite corners on the east side of Main Street. (Thomas Wetmore was the husband of George's daughter, Elizabeth Hubbard. The Wetmores and Hubbards will marry several additional times in succeeding generations) George owned large land tracts on the west side and on the east side of the river. These lands were recorded Sep 5, 1654. He, Thomas Wetmore and two other land owners on the west side of the street, gave land for the second meeting-house.. The records read: "It was agreed at a meeting of John Halls house to build a meeting house and to make it 20 foot square & 10 foot between sill and plat, the heygt of it." This structure was a one-story log house with a palisade around it. GEORGE HUBBARD, living adjacent, was naturally selected as its keeper. Dec 17, 1666, he was allowed "40 shillings for sweeping the meeting-house and keeping the glass [hour glass]. This also included the services of his eldest son, Joseph, who beat the drum to assemble the congregation and to give warning of the approach of Indians.
An appraisement of his property on March 22, 1670, showed George to be worth £90.10s.15d., and in 1673 £ 132.10s. At his death his inventory showed him worth £243.10s., and possessed of a dwelling-house and home lot worth £50, "2 1-3 acres of long meadow" worth £18.10s., 3 "acres of meadow on the east side the Great River" worth £9, a tract at Long Hill of 226 acres, another "parcel west from the towne" of 300 acres, one "parcel on the east side of the Great River" of 464 acres, and the "one-halfe Lott" of 30 acres , a total of over one thousand acres.
One record of him says that he was "highly respected, and of marked integrity and fairness." He appears at this distance of time to have been devout, industrious, and possessed of those sturdy, wholesome qualities of mind and body without which the composition of our country today would not possess He must have been a man of "marked integrity and fairness" to have been selected by the colony as its Indian Trader. Much judgment had to be used by this representative of the colony in these dealings. Promiscuous trading by any one was forbidden, as fire-arms and fire-water were frequently bartered by indiscreet persons, which produced direful results. This resulted in the selection of one man to do the trading for all. On his judgment and prudence much depended. He must have erred, however, at one time, for the Colonial Court fined him £10 for exchanging a gun with an Indian. In a spirit of charity, his descendants are privileged to conjecture that he might have regarded the gun as an old and harmless one and incapable of going off and hurting anyone. He is listed as one of the Puritan Settlers of the Colony of Connecticut.

George was one of the founders of Hartford, CT and his name is on the Founders Stone. 
HOBART/HUBBARD, George Sr. (I2806)
 
436 George's surname was also noted as Zentmyer, Sentmire, Zentmyre, Zentmeyer, St. Myer, Saintmyer

"The settlement at Mather's Mill, on the Miami, (Miami river, Ed) on the Lebanon & Wilmington road, was earlier than 1807, David Van Schoyck and Lewis Rees being there before that time. Lewis Rees built the mill in 1807, when it was disposed of to Richard Mather, who settled there the same year. George Zentmire settled the same year some distance below the mill, and built the dam for Mather. His cabin was by a spring below the mill. In addition to the mill Richard Mather set up a store and smith shop; he brought with him Jacob Ashmead and Richard Taylor as millers. Jacob Horn, a blacksmith; Jacob Longstreth, storekeeper; Samuel Couden, an Irishman; John Frazee and others came the same reason. George Zentmire was a Virginian (George lived in Virginia, but was born in Pennsylvania -Ed) of German descent, spoke the German language fluently and was a Revolutionary soldier. (actually, War of 1812 -Ed) George Zentmire purchased a farm on the river below Freeport, (Freeport was renamed Oregonia in 1882 -Ed) where he died May 20, 1836; his wife, Elizabeth Dunn, died February 18, 1854. Their family, four sons and four daughters, are scattered, one son, Rev. Samuel Zentmire, living at Morrow. The river at this time was amply stocked with fish; brush drags were made to be used as seines, and great quantities were obtained. Fifteen or more deer in one herd was a common sight. Many of the oldest inhabitants assert with great earnestness, that a fight with Indians on the Zentmire farm, and also a short distance above Freeport, took place sometime previous to the first settlement, but no direct evidence of such events can be obtained." --History of Warren County, Ohio, W. H. Beers Co., 1882.

Virginia Santmyers (Vincent Bell)
Wallace E. Santmyers
Notes:

.........Gerilee Santmyers supplied a birth date as 1859 for Daniel, Izetta lists his birth as 1853. With either date it seems impossible that Frank born 4 Feb 1861 could be his son. I have 1886 as the date of marriage, which would fit with the birth date of 1887 for Infant Fnu. Also the the 1887 marriage fits with a birth date of 1853 or 1859. Thus, either the birth date is incorrect for Frank's birth or this is not the correct Frank Santmyer. I suggest this is not the correct Frank to connect with Daniel, since Mollie, wife of Frank, was born in 1862, and their marriage date is listed as 1884.

Update 1/22/00: Information received from Ron Santmyers, great grandson of Frank and Mary A. (Mollie) Mitchell Santmyers includes the following:

Frank Santmyers, born 1861Warren Co., VA, died 23 December 1941Warren Co., VA, was the son of Mildred A. and Daniel Santmyers. This Daniel (not Daniel P.) was born 1814 (based on age of 36 in 1850 census) or 1820 (per info from Ron Santmyers) in Shenandoah Co., VA and died in 1897 in Warren Co., VA. In addition to info from Ron Santmyers, the 1850 Warren Co., VA Census also lists the wife of Daniel as Mildred. I believe that Frank Santmyers born 1861 and his descendants were incorrectly attached to this Daniel P. and Mary L. Putman Santmyers.
