553	Levi Wells was of Welsh heritage being born on 8 AUG 1805 in Windham County, Vermont, one of 10 children of Joel Wells, Sr. and Mary (Edwards) Wells. His father, Joel Wells Sr., was born on 1 Aug 1775 in Deerfield, Franklin, Massachusetts and his mother was Mary Edwards who was born 9 Feb 1778 in Coventry, Tolland, Connecticut. His parents had married on 8 May 1797 in Guilford, Windham, Vermont. He married Sophia Voris 20 Aug 1823 in Harmony, Indiana. Sophia Sophrana Voris (Voorhees) is of Pennsylvania Dutch heritage born in Kentucky on 7 Aug 1805 to Peter and Rachel (Monfort) Voorhees. She Americanized her last name going from the Dutch name Voorhees to Voris. Levi Wells homesteaded in Nebraska west and north of Beatrice at the close of the Civil War. He came from Emporia, Kansas. He was a Kansas soldier but was raised in Illinois. Levi Wells was in the march "From Atlanta to the Sea" during the Civil War. Sophia Voris Wells and all other settlers in community gathered at the meeting house during the Indian scares in Nebraska and they took their stock with them. Levi married Sophia 20 Aug 1825 in New Harmony, Posey County, Indiana and they had 12 children: Mary Ann Wells b: 04 SEP 1827 Eliza Jane Wells b: 20 NOV 1829 in Illinois James Wells b: 05 MAY 1831 in Moline, Rock Island County, Illinois Thomas F.

554	Like his father and brother John, David too was a blacksmith. He was raised in the Franklin Twp area of Huntington County. He married Isabella Zentmyer on 3 July 1855. He moved to Arch Springs, a small settlement near Sinking Valley, Blair County, about 15 miles from Altoona. He later moved to Altoona where he gained political notice by becoming the second mayor there. It was said that upon his election (around 1872 or 73) he cleaned up the city (literally!) by removing pig styes from the city area and by seeing that the city had sewers constructed. He seems to have been a "law and order" mayor, probably leading to his mayoral loss in 1874. David worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. until he retired at age 70. In the 1890 Altoona directory he is listed as a tool temperer and lived 1116 Fifth Avenue where several of his children also resided. He died 30 March 1915 in Altoona. The 13 children of David Kinch [Jr] and his wife were born and raised in the Altoona area.	KINCH, David (I2336)

579	Many Ancestry.com trees posit this person as our Robert Strayhorn, but we have visited the archives in Ayrshire, and for this person to have been our Robert would have required a second wife in Ireland as the childrens' birth years are intertwined, so we reject this possibility.	STREHORN fragment, Robert (I3937)
580	Margaret was named for her mothers aunt, Margaret A. Shaw Rees. Margaret and Ethel were close during their growing up years. After the girls married, this same closeness was enjoyed between the Beighley and Rowley families. They spent much of their time together as one big happy family. Today that closeness remains between their children even though they live on opposite coastlines. I can imagine how hard it was for Margaret and Ethel when the entire Beighley family, parents, children, children's spouses and grandson, moved to Sacramento, CA Ref. Family records and paper located in the family Bible Interviews with Fanny Ethel Santmyer Rowley, Mary Virginia Beighley Marra and Helen Marr Beighley Hedman.	SANTMYER, Margaret James (I0020)

590	Mary Ann listed as 'Sarah' in 1850 Census, last name listed as 'St. Myers' on wedding record of son Jacob Smith to Emma Jane Ross.	ZENTMEYERS, Mary Ann (Sarah) (I1979)
591	Mary is an enigma. She does not show up in the early census records as a child of Christopher and Barbara, she is not listed with the known children in Christopher's will, and she is not listed as a descendant in Robert Anderson Zentmyer's hand-written genealogy charts from 1904, although she is cryptically noted in the margin as "Old Aunt Mary Zentmyer? who lived with Jacob at the mountain." Mary was living with Jacob s/o David s/o Christopher in the 1850 census. She is buried in Burns Hill Cemetery in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania near this Jacob Zentmyer and his wife Susan Ditch. There is a small but much later stone near Mary's original stone which reads "Aunt." While this could mean Mary was a daughter of Christopher, it is more likely she was taken in by Jacob and Susan and adopted their surname.	ZENTMYER ??, Mary (I87054)
592	Mary was born about 1631 (aged 4 on 2 Apr 1635); said to have been m. by 1651 Thomas Welles (eldest child of Thomas & Mary Welles b. Wethersfield 10 Jan 1652).

594	Mary Zentmeyer Young, 99, of Knoxville, Tenn., and formerly of Pulaski, passed away Tuesday, November 29, 2011. She was born in Riner October 2, 1912, and was the daughter of the late George Bright and Vinda Akers Reed Zentmeyer. She worked in the middle 1930's for Title Attorneys for the United States Forestry Service, visiting courthouses in Northern North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, and Western Virginia, acquiring titles for National Forests. She also worked for Pulaski Veneer Corp., Burlington Industries, Sweet-Orr, Crowell, Deeds and Nuckols, and for over 13 years at Agricultural Education in Pulaski and Radford, before retiring. She was the third woman in Virginia to be awarded an Honorary State Farmer Degree. Mary was chosen as Woman of the Year by the Pulaski B.&P.W. Club and the A.A.R.P. She was also a proud volunteer with the Red Cross and Friends of the Library for several years. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church for over 75 years during which time she served as a Sunday school teacher, circle leader, and worked in the church kitchen for five years for Joyful Noise. She was a 4-H leader and served as the secretary to Agricultural Education Conferences at Virginia Tech for several years.

597	May Hobart Zentmyer, 94, died Nov. 20, 2008, after a brief illness, in Baldwin Park, Calif. She was the mother of longtime La Cañada residents Gary Zentmyer and Jeanie Riddell and San Diego resident John Zentmyer. May was born in Los Angeles on Oct. 22, 1914. She graduated from UCLA, where she was women's editor of the Daily Bruin. It was there she met her future husband, the sports editor, John Zentmyer. After graduation, she became society editor for the Los Angeles Citizen News, covering such events as the first Lux Radio Theater broadcast, and the Screen Actors' Guild Ball at the Coconut Grove. Her husband's career as an air traffic controller found her moving around the country, raising their family in Northern California, Texas, Florida and Virginia, before returning to Southern California. They immediately gravitated to the church they'd attended during college, the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood, where they served faithfully for many years. After earning California credentials, May became a teacher and librarian in Watts. After 20 years she returned to UCLA, earning a master's degree in library science. She finished her career in 1980 as a consulting librarian for the Los Angeles Unified School District. Always wanting to be productive, she next became the director of Christian Education at their church, St. Andrew's of Redondo Beach, a position she held until 1987. She and John then traveled extensively, and contributed many volunteer hours to their church. Her hobby of collecting early children's literature resulted in her being honored with a UCLA Distinguished Alumni award. She is survived by John H. Zentmyer (Jill), Gary Zentmyer (Claudia), Jeanie Riddell, grandchildren Mark Zentmyer (Tiffany), Scott Riddell, Eric Zentmyer, Michael Riddell, Brian Zentmyer, Jeffrey Riddell (Katy), Becky Zentmyer, Will Zentmyer, Ellie McGee, and great-grandson Thomas Zentmyer.
