Emanuel NOEL (Sylvester's cousin) married a Margaret A. LOGSDON daughter of Raphael  LOGSDON and Rebecca nee MATTINGLY of Westmoreland County, Pa. Witnesses were Sylvester J. NOEL and Mathilda Anna HENRY. Taken from the Matrimonial Records of St. Vincent's Abbey Church and as included in Emanuel's Civil War records.

Sylvester and Emanuel NOEL were both in the 11th Pa. Vol. Inf. Reg. in the Civil War, Sylvester was released due to illness from which he never fully recovered, and Emanuel was a "veteran" (more than one enlistment). Emanuel was captured during the first day of battle at Gettysburg and paroled same time frame. These people were all members of St. Vincents in Latrobe, Pa.(Their ancestors helped build the place.) My guess is that they moved from Adams County Pa. and Maryland to Westmoreland County together.(not entirely a guess!, some proof) In closing this e-mail, the "Maryland Historical Society" has a history of the LOGSDON family which may be viewed by the public in their files, and I've been saying for a while now, that I'd like to read that. They go way back in Maryland.

My line was in PA and migrated to Ontario, Canada.  Think they were first in the Haldimad (not sure of spelling) and then to the York Co. Markham area of Ontario.

They came to Michigan circa 1838 and settled in the Shiawassee Co. area.

I wonder if the John, father of John above is the same John Sr. that was paid $23.93 on Feb. 17th, 1851 at the estate settlement of Charles Brogan Sr.??? and is that Mary Magdalene Grundy Storm shown above?

In short, is this John, the dad of Blasius(1814-1878)? Is Jr. above his brother???

Great article and it includes photo copies of Tanner vital records from Germany, Wills and etc.
Surname examples: TANNER, STORUM, HESSON(WYSONG), WIKEL, Koontz etc.etc.

1) Blaze (Blasius Noel) had no connection with the Storm's (married a SPIES) yet they lived close by (Troublesome  Job). J.S. sold parts of this at different times, Blossy probably bought some.

2) Blaze is listed (count em) three times in John Storms will, he either owes John, or John owes him, I haven't figured it out yet. (the language used).

3) There is a John NOLL/or NULL also listed I forget which, with the same situation as 2) above. (Blossy is also spelled three different ways in the will.)

4) John NOEL is the only real connection with the STORM's via Mary Maggie.

5) M.M. received a 5th share of J.S.'s land in Huntington County Pa. along with a sizable chunk of cash.

In short, it just appears to me that the NOEL's and STORM'S were a pretty close knit bunch and they were probably still in Md., when J.S. died in 1805 and even later. The final accounting of J.S.' will wasn't until after Elizabeth died about 1815.

Note also, that John Storm is buried at the Conewago Chapel graveyard?

Facts:
1) John STORM wrote will in 1798 and leaves Mary Maggie some money and eighth part of his property in "Huntington" county, she also gets the eighth part of his personal property.
2) First accounting is 1807, estate receives cash money from JOHN "NULL"and BLAZE "NOEL" among others.
3) I don't have the second accounting but might consider sending for it.
4) Third accounting Aug. 1815, Elizabeth STORM is now deceased.  Bond on Blosey "NOELL"?  It's noted here that John STORM died 4 Oct. 1796.
    Next it states: Money paid to Elizabeth by BLASEUS NOEL, and
others...........
    The following each received 608.10.5? from the estate........."MAGDALENA"
wife of "JOHN NOEL"  THEY WERE PROBABLY STILL IN MARYLAND AT THIS TIME?

Note that John STORM mentions his property in "HUNTINGTON" county...."Cambria" county was formed from Huntington and others in 1804, after John STORM wrote his will thus my theory is that his property was actually in what is now CAMBRIA County. And since JOACHIM is listed in the 1860 census as born in MARYLAND, I suspect that JOHN NOEL didn't leave MARYLAND with the kids until after his Mum Elizabeth died in 1815 or later??

I got BLOSSY'S will in the mail today, and not once is he referred to as BLOSSY or BLOSS, just the proper BLASIUS.
Just a few things off the top of me head, then you can ask questions:
1) He wrote it in 1831 but final (5th) accounting wasn't till 1854 believe it or not!
2) "She" couldn't find the 4th accounting.
3) A "John Adelsparger" was a co-executor, the other guy "Joseph Wivell" flat     refused the job!
4) Mary Ann got all his real estate consisting of 100 acres "Landstool" and part of a tract of land consisting of 50 acres "wherein I now dwell"called "Troublesome Job".
5.) After Mary Ann's death, land is to be sold at public or private sale.
Personal Property the same with one share each as follows:
    JOSEPH, JOHN, PETER, JACOB, BLASIUS, MICHAEL, 4 GRANDCHILDREN
    (These are CHRISTOPHER'S who died before the will was written),
    MARY MAGDALENA (LANSINGER) and CATHERINE(OBOLDT)
6.) SEBASTIAN OBOLT bought some of the real estate and so did LEVI KREBS
7.) His widow MARY ANN is only mentioned a couple of times, then is referred to as deceased.
8.) It's all readable, but some of the script tends to throw you. You have to remember that what looks like (fs) is in the old script a double s (ss). For example, the word "possession", shows up as "pofsefsion"..........get it?
9.) There are no references to spouses except for the girls as shown above.

Hey, Wolf left his 3 boys, "three pairs of buckskin breeches" "that I wore". If that doesn't take ya back to those days, noth'n will pilgrim!

Based on the above, I think it's safe to assume that Nancy and Agnes are one and the same.

5 Sep 1998 Look'n through another page on Pa. troops in the civil war (78th reg.), their chaplain was a Roman Catholic Priest named Richard C. CHRISTY, which the troops (protestant mostly) resented, but soon changed their minds after they got to know him. The page had his portrait and also some of the troops' portraits. (Joachim NOEL married a CHRISTY!).

 The John C. "bella hans" LIVENGOOD's wagon wheels and running gear are located in the Spring, Pa. historical society.

I recently snapped a picture of Johanes Storm's tombstone at the Sacred Heart Basilica at Conewago, McSherrytown, Pa. He was married to Maria Elizabeth Tanner their daughter Mary Magdalene Storm married John Noel, son of Blasius Noel of
Maryland.

From the records that we have, from parish records in Klein Schifferstadt, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, Johannes was baptized there.  Sonsors included. From the headstone his birth has be calculated at 21 jan 1723  from the parrish records his christening 31 jan 1723.  I would say this is strong evidence that these are the same person.

PIUS AND PETER ABOVE, HAVE A PAGE OF HISTORY TO GO WITH EACH, LOCATED IN:

"HISTORY OF ADAMS COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA" 1992 REPRINT OF 1886 EDITION

I have: Henry Leibenguth (b. circa 1776, d ?), son of George Leibenguth (b. 1741 in Pa., died 1814).  married Catherine George.  Lived in Derry Twp., Westmoreland Co. Pa.

Per Deed Release, 6 July 1837 at Northampton Co. Courthouse: Henry Leibengood of Derry Twp, Westmoreland Co. do acknowledge that Daniel and Philip Leibegood both of Lehigh Twp in Northampton Co Pa.  The sum of $850. in full satisfaction for my share and portion due from the estate of my late father, George Leibenguth of Lehigh Twp.

children:

Christopher  b.  1796 Northampton Co.

a book "The Doty/Doten Family in America"  shows 1799) m. Andrew Doty

Henry
James
 

Judy White judyhw@msn.com is the source of the marriage and the first 2 listed children.

The last two children are from an email from Kathy Zima (see below).

Northampton Co.  Pa. tax records list a Henry Leibenguth in Lehigh Twp during 1796 & 1797, owing .25 of tax for each year.
I don't quite know where Jacob fits in.  I do have a Jacob, also son of George, but don't have any indication that he relocated to Westmoreland area: Jurg Jacob Leibenguth (baptized 20 May, 1764, 8 days old last Thursday, in Egypt, Pa. per records of Rev. Daniel Schumacher)

There is a Jacob Leibengut, single freeman owing 0.12.6 in tax - Lehigh Twp, 1786.

Most intriguing is form the book: Abstracts of Rev. War. pension Files by Virgil D. White.  Vol. II, pub. 1991, National Historic Publishing Co, Waynsboro, TN. page 2077 :

Libengood, Jacob (Leibengod) Pa. Line b. 1756 in Northampton Co.  Married Margaret Chambers on 15 March 1801 in Westmoreland Co. d. 6 April 1849 in Indiana Co. Pa.  Lived with parents when he enlisted and after the War, then he moved to Westmoreland Co., then in 1812 he moved to Indian Co. Applied for pension on 27 Dec 1842. Widow applied on 17 nov 1854 in Indiana Co. at age 73 and for BLW on June 12 1858 in Indiana Co. W8 253 BLW#82540-160-55
 

In the Pa Archives Series 6 Vol 3: Class Roll of Cpt Friderich Kunss Co. Aprill 18, 1785: group 5 Jacob Leibengood group 6 George Leibengood

My take on all of this:  The date of birth stated in the Rev. War pension records (1756) is incorrect (this would be a very common error - especially considering he would have been 94 yrs old when he died).  I believe 1764 is the correct date.  Jacob, lived with parents during and a short time after serving in the Rev. War along side his father, George.  Jacob moved to Westmoreland Co soon after the War (probably late 1780's) where he married Margaret Chambers in 1801, then moved to Indiana Co. in 1812.    Younger brother, Henry moved to Westmoreland Co. Pa. soon after Jacob did - perhaps buying Jacob's land(??).

I did some research over the internet and found the following:

1807 tax list, Conemaugh Twp, Indiana Co. Jacob Libengood, yeoman

Index 1820 census - Indiana Co. Jacob Livengood, Conemaugh Twp, (p 10)

Index 1830 census - Indiana Co. Jacob Libengood - Conemaugh Twp, (p 195)
 

Jacob Libengood 40th P. Volunteers, 11th Reserves - Company E enlisted on 21 June 1861 wounded in action discharged 17 Dec. 1862 (this is the one you think might be your Henry's son)

Joachim was born 1812 (my mistake), he married Mary A. Christe (first wife) in 1832 in Lorretto, Cambria County. Thats the earliest date I have on him in the "west". According to Marilyn, John and Mary were also raising their grand-children Emanuel and Cecilia along with Eliza Ann.

1) Wrightsville is in York Co. where Rte.30 crosses the Susquehanna River. If this is where Christopher died in 1819, it supports a later move west by the lads.

2) Marilyn shows Joachim married Mary A. Christe on  May 7, 1832 St. Vincent's Abbey Latrobe, not Lorretto, my mistake, this is in her book.

Marilyn also states that Blossy owned a freight hauling business in MD., maybe Chris was working for him, and died "on the road"? (He was killed while hauling Logs from a Newspaper account)

Marilyn's book questions "who were the parents of Eliza Ann Noel"? She states that she thought she was Joachim's daughter and was left out of his will due to Charles problems with the priest in Ohio.

The problem is she states that Eliza was born in 1833 which makes her pretty young for Charles who was in the Mexican War in 1846 and also the Civil War?? Also, I have no evidence that Joachim had a daughter Eliza Ann??

Summary:  If Chris's daughter and Charles Jr's wife are the same person, it supports my theory of a later (>1822) move to Westmoreland County????  Could Chris's kids be some that my John cared for??  Remember that Christopher died in Wrightsville, York County in 1819. Could John have brought Chris's kids to Westmoreland County??

Looking further in Marilyn's book, she does state that Eliza Ann (Charles Brogan Jr's wife) was raised by her "grandparents" John and Mary Magdalene. But if she was Chris's kid, they would be her Aunt and Uncle. Do you have anything that shows that Joachim had a daughter Eliza Ann?? I don't.

1) John P. said in an affidavit that he knew he was born in 1845 cause his Father and Mother, Blausius and Mary told him that's when he was born and he remembered it.No wonder he made Corporal huh.
2) John P. is buried at a Catholic Cemetery in Greensburg, so your brother may be right about the John at St. V's being Blossy's dad.
3) Theres more info, but tough reading.

Children:
Anna Noel     b. Jan.23 1870     deceased
Albert Noel    b. Oct.25 1875     living
Loretta Noel   b. Dec. 4 1877     living
Rose C. Noel b. July 8  1880     living
Note: This paper is dated March 28 1915

Rose C. took care of J.P. until he died and was buried at "Most Holy Sacrament Church" 412 North Main St., Greensburg, Pa. July 13, 1923.

John P. tended bar in Greensburg where he lived. Also was a hotel clerk.

The info in the Stevens page that he married Sarah Jane Mansfield is obviously wrong. ( there is an other John P Noel)

Note: There is an affidavit by an Alexander Moore that was sent in from McGREGOR, IOWA, Dec. 9, 1891 which was interesting.

Jonas had his front teeth kicked out by a mule at Antietam, Had two fingers broken when kicked by a horse. Note: Jonas was hostler for the Colonel at Headquarters. Jonas was a farmer all his life and had different people work for him and he also worked for other people. One of those he worked for was the grandfather of a guy that gave an affidavit. The grandfather also gave an affidavit and his name was Samuel Logsdon.

Jonas said he wound up in the hospital when he got his teeth kicked out "I was hurt, but not senseless". Said when he got up he ran away from the hospital and returned to his unit. Most of his affidavits refer to him as "a little fellow". 5'4"   126 lb.    fair hair     light complexion         blue eyes   (124 lb. when he died also)
-----------------------------------
John P. Noel 5' 5 1/2"      160 lb.     brown hair      light complexion       brown eyes

There is a sister of J.P. in there named Murphy and another Murphy probably in-law that co-witnessed an affidavit.

Neither of these two could take care of themselves when they died, but both lived a long life!

Note: Both John P. and Jonas show in their physical's that they received gun-shot wounds. I think there were probably a lot of these went un-reported, since neither one of them got any credit toward their pensions due to these wounds. For that matter, neither did Emanuel who got shot in the left breast.

Margaret Noel of Joseph and Margaret Noel, b 25 June, bapt 4 Sept 1809; Sponsors < Simon Ruffner and Margaret Griffy. >

John Noel and Mary Kuhn sponsored Peter Zindorff of George and Anna Zindorff, b 12 Oct, evidently of the preceding year, bapt 24 April 1803. Note! This John could be the son of Nicholas Noel both of whom went to Loretto. Although the Zindorff's interacted with all the Noel's.

Margaret Griffy/Griffin was the mother of Joseph Noel's  wife. Patrick, her husband was alive in April 1805.

Nore! This John is still a mystery.

Maria Noel was baptized Aug.6th 1834 at Saint Simon & St.Jude in Blairsville. (Daughter of Joachim and Anna Criste "ink is faded and unclear") why did they do that? (ref. Harvey in Marilyn's book)

Susan's papers show that Blossy of  MD. was in his 80's in the 1830 census which I don't think can be disputed, so we should probably throw out his 1762 b. date eh? He died 1832/3?

Did I send you the estate settlement of Charles Brogan Sr.?? Did you notice there is reference to a John Noel Sr. in there?? In the German tradition, there wouldn't have to be a father and son, this is just to distinguish an older one from any younger one!

Blossy's son Jacob b.ca 1792 was married to Barbara O'bold, daughter of Joseph O'bold. Marilyn's book. (Info. from "Conewage" page 51, "Noel Tree" page 2 and Harve's letter 1990. I believe it was Catherine that also md. an O'boldt

John P. Noel lived at: 318 Oakland Ave., Greensburg, Pa. So did his daughter Rose C. Noel when he died, the house is probably still there?? The priest' name at Most Holy Sacrament Church signed as Rev. Linus Brugger, Pastor

Mrs. Agnes F. Murphy (his sister) testified to his age, saying she knew it since she was 8 years old when he was born, and also from the Family Register. There are also Ella J. Murphy and a Margaret Murphy sworn in and witnessed. I believe we were in contact with a Murphy girl that enquired about Blasius a few months back, do you remember her?? I think she was to have a very serious operation, and I haven't heard from her since?? Agnes Cecelia Noel nee "Ransil" died April 15th 1918 wife of J.P.Noel died April 13, 1923

DEATH'S
1) 1815 Henry son of Blase and Mary Ann NOEL 24 Feb.  18 years old

2)  Blasius NOEL died 14th Aug. 1832   76 or 78 years old (looks like 78 to me??)

Joachim Storm is also in the 1820 census of Bedford County, same township.  This time it's spelled Joakim STORNE with a * which means the spelling is ??

I made another discovery last night, Roger Brooke Taney also swore into office, none other than honest Abe himself !!

By the way, Joachim STORM is Mary Maggie's brother, she is Blasius' 1814-1878's ma.

FREDERICK MARYLAND LUTHERAN MARRIAGES
AND BURIALS   1743 - 1811       Weiser

1804  Aug. 10 buried Melchior Tobeler , born the 15th
[month not given] 1725, parents unknown. Married 1st,
1747 Cathar. Dorin and had 6 sons and seven daughters,
of whom 3 daughters died.  Married second April 8, 1779
Phillippina SPIESS. One half year before his death he was
lamed by a stroke and lay paralyzed from then on in his bed,
took a fever and died Aug. 9 at 10:30 p.m.,  aged 79 years,
6 months, 23 days.

1804   Sept. 5 buried Juliana Ostertag, born June 17, 1732,
father, Conrad Spiess, the mother, N.N.  Married Jan. 22, 1750
and had in 52 years of married life 8 sons and 4 daughters, of
whom 1 son and 1 daughter died. Became sick from constipation
and died Sept. 4 at 3:30 p.m. , aged 72 years, 2 months, 18 days.

I don't imagine this will do you any good, but you never know where
it could fit in. In researching my SPEAKS line I have found references
to other spellings such as SPEASS. While there aren't too many obvious
SPIES references, there are more SPEAKS. It really is a wonder there
was any uniformity at all for a time when even the census takers were
illiterate.

I did come across the following in a 1837 Tax List of Carroll County, Taneytown District:
Noal, Blassey (heirs) - no tract name - no house listed- 100 acres.

2)Boweresock, Geo. A.; pt Unity, 100a, log barn, assd last to Jno. Nowel    Note: Jno. stands for John based on the index for John R. Key, in the text it says     Jno. Ross Key.

3)Blazon NOEL Pvt. under Capt. Ogle, Samuel, 1 May-5 Jul.1813
   Capt.Samuel Ogle's company, from the Fredericktown and Emmittsburgh area was called up on 1 May 1813 and marched to Baltimore and joined the new formed 2nd Regiment under Lieut. Col. Richard K. Heath. Private Benjamin Gump said the company was stationed at the "Old Orchard."  They were discharged on 5 July.  Some said they were discharged at Spring
Gardens in Baltimore; some said the place of discharge was Federal Hill; others recalled they had been dismissed at the Patapsco Encampment near the city of Baltimore.

Note: 1) and 2) are from "The particular assessment lists for Baltimore and Carrol Counties 1798 by George J.Horvath, Jr.

Note: 3) is from Frederick County Militia In The War of 1812 by Massick & Wright

NOTE: Catherine and Mary Magdalene married the Lansinger & O'bold lads.

Yours was married to Eliz. Palmer.  On the 1850 & 1860 census for Derry, my Henry Jr. shows being married to Mary, Mary  Ann.  I don't know what year he ied.  I'll see if I have any info on that, though I don't think so. Some of my Henry Jr.s children were:   Lewis, Eliza, Martha, mary, etc.

It seems there are two Henry Leibengood's in
Derry at the same time.
Henry D. m. Elizabeth Palmer and
Henry Jr. m. Mary Ann Willets
It's giv'n me fits sort'n it out.
A Mrs. Leibengood shows up on the
1867 atlas. This one is mine, Elizabeth Palmer Leibengood.
Once I figure out who Henry D.'s dad is, I will be
able to get all the way back to Das BOAT !!
Cause they are all definitely related, I figured that much out.

He died of disease contracted while with Co. K. 11th Pa. Vol. Inf. Regiment.after the Civil War.

Married Ellen Storm the 5th of Oct. 1869 at St. Augustine Church in Cambria County by the Rev. Edward Burns, Pastor of St. Augustine. They had no kids, he may have had nieces? taking care of him, cause he was mighty sick, and refused to see a doctor thinking it wouldn't do him any good even though his mother (Mary Brogan Noel) told him to go. (Per his brother Placidus Noel's testimony).

The last mail I saw on this said one of the two girls was named Ellen, and I suggested at that time that Ellen was probably his wife ! Sounds like the same Sylvester to me !

This is the info on George I have here Dick Musselman has all the original
papers .Be carefull George Spelled his name Leibenguth
but as you can see. Other pepole spelled it different. There was only one
george Leibenguth in Northampton Co at the time.George
did have a son George Later but you can tell then apart by ther ages. I am
going to sent Dick Weber my files when I get home next
week . I will tell him to pass it on to any body who want's it.  PS Please

Henry D., George, Mary Ann and Margaret (the widow)
and a son-in-law signed off as approving
Christopher Leibengood and Nathaniel Nesbitt as
executors of  Jacob Leibengood's estate. It's all there!!

Note that in the inventory/sale, Nathaniel Nesbitt bought
Jacob's family Bible...I'd sure like to see that eh!
Jacob still owed about $50 bucks for his pension
application efforts.....The lawyers I guess eh !!
This was all done in 1849 thru 1851.

The moral of the story is that the smallest clues
sometimes yield the greatest results huh?

"The story has been handed down in the family that Molly
McBride, together with another unknown girl, ran away from her
home in Ireland to come to the colonies. On their way to the ship they
heard soldiers approaching and, frightened, hid under a hedge until
the soldiers were gone. The two girls continued on their walk to the
ship where they agreed to go as Redemtioners. (111) Upon arrival,
Molly was bonded to the service of a "strict Presbyterian" who was
trying to convert her away from Catholicism when she met Patrick
Griffin, a freeman, who fell in love and wanted to marry her. He
agreed to pay her master the balance due on her bond so that Molly
would be free to marry.
