302	Abagail Came Passmore was born in Butte, Montana on May 15, 1896 (My Brother John Willis Graham is born on May 15th and I think he is named after Auntie Gail's huband, Willis) to Susie Came and Charles Passmore. After she graduated she taught in New York State for a short time and then in Butte, Montana in Physical Education. She married a Montana man named Willis Harrison McKeown on June 22, 1922 in California. After they got married they moved to Los Angeles and she worked as a Supervisor in the Los Angeles School Districk. Willis died of Lung Cancer and they had no children. I remember visiting her more than one time in California and this where I saw the most beautiful Sun Sets and my father said it was the smog that made it so beautiful. My father was sent to live with his Auntie Gail (Auntie Gail is the name I knew for her) when he was in High School. I always felt good in Auntie Gail's home. Abagail's mother, Susie Came Passmore came to live and then died in 1956. Susie's ashes were taken back to Monatna and burried with her son Blair.

305	Abraham born 21 Sept 1731 Born on St. Michaels's day in Switzerland, Abraham arrived in America on the ship St. Andrew, September 9, 1749 with his cousin John who was born in America but had returned to Europe to seek a wife. Abraham may have lived with his cousin until his marriage to Magdalena Eshelman. In 1757 he bought 172 1/2 acres of land in Clay Twp., Lancaster Co. from Martin Weightman who had acquired it directly from John Penn in 1733. He was going to build a grist mill on this property, but due to water right problems caused him to sell it. Magdalena died 12 March 1785 and is buried in a lone grave on this farm close to Middle Creek. In 1787 Abraham sold this farm and moved about a mile north. In 1788 he bought a tract of land in the same township from John Carpenter for 3400 lbs. This purchase was recorded in 2/5/1790 in Philadelphia. This property was actually a Indian reservation. The last of the tribe, the Nanticokes, remained on the land until all were dead. As a result the descendants of Abraham are referred to as the "Indiantown Brubachers". There is a small family graveyard, referred to as the "Abraham Brubacher Cemetery" in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania, that has a monument to Abraham. E.Renkin	Brubaker, Rev Abraham (I1401)

Witwer, a minister of the Mennonite church as a highly respected man who for many years devoted his energies to the word of the gospel.

338	Addams was an Illinois state senator from 1854-1870. He married his wife, Sarah Weber. Sarah died in 1863. He then married the widow, Anna H. Haldeman, in 1867, While on a family vacation in Wisconsin, he died. The village of Cedarville Ill is next to Freeport the largest village in the county. It is beautifully situated on Cedar Creek, a small stream which rises in the town of Rock Grove, and is so abundantly supplied with the springs along its course in the prairie, as to furnish sufficient water power for a large oil mill about a mile and a half east of Cedarville, and only some five or six miles from the spring where it takes its rise ; and at Cedarville there is now a large flouring mill and a saw mill on the same stream, and it is considered that at the same place there is sufficient water power for a large factory. Although the stream is not very large, the supply of water is so constant, that in the greatest drought no inconvenience is experienced. In 1840 there were a few houses built in Cedarville, but it was not until about 1846 that the village began to take a start. About this time John H. Addams built the large grist mill he at present owns. Ever since his arrival in that place in 1844, Mr. Addams has taken a lively interest in the progress of the place, and there is no doubt that much of the improvement now manifested is the result of his liberality and enterprise.

339	ADDAMS, Isaac, Esq., a distinguished and greatly esteemed resident of this city, died last Wednesday in his 63rd year. (4-18-1809ed.) Obituaries Published in the Readinger Adler, 1800-1815 Isaac Addams (47265491) Suggested edit: His father, of Scottish background, had laid out and sold the plots of land that were to become Adamstown (originally Addamsburg) in 1761. In 1773 is father left him 100 acres in Adamstown where he'd been living at death plus 73 acres in a plot adjacent to it. From 1777 through 1786 Isaac had six sons there, who show up on the 1790 Census for Cocalico Township. In 1776 Isaac Addams was appointed captain in command of a militia unit raised in Cocalico Township, which was dissolved in 1777 upon the term of enlistment having elapsed. This company was in a battalion assigned to the "Flying Camp" program, which is to say they were to be sent out of state (unlike normal militia) and were to be under the ultimate command of George Washington. Addams' brother-in-law William Witman was a private in that company, but when it was dissolved he was promoted to lieutenant and given a command of his own in the regular Continental army, and some of the former members of Addams' militia company then joined Witman's company.

After she graduated she taught in New York State for a short time and then in Butte, Montana in Physical Education. She married a Montana man named Willis Harrison McKeown on June 22, 1922 in California. After they got married they moved to Los Angeles and she worked as a Supervisor in the Los Angeles School Districk. Willis died of Lung Cancer and they had no children. I remember visiting her more than one time in California and this where I saw the most beautiful Sun Sets and my father said it was the smog that made it so beautiful. My father was sent to live with his Auntie Gail (Auntie Gail is the name I knew for her) when he was in High School. I always felt good in Auntie Gail's home. Abagail's mother, Susie Came Passmore came to live and then died in 1956. Susie's ashes were taken back to Monatna and burried with her son Blair.

Abraham born 21 Sept 1731
Born on St. Michaels's day in Switzerland, Abraham arrived in America on the ship St. Andrew, September 9, 1749 with his cousin John who was born in America but had returned to Europe to seek a wife.
Abraham may have lived with his cousin until his marriage to Magdalena Eshelman. In 1757 he bought 172 1/2 acres of land in Clay Twp., Lancaster Co. from Martin Weightman who had acquired it directly from John Penn in 1733. He was going to build a grist mill on this property, but due to water right problems caused him to sell it. Magdalena died 12 March 1785 and is buried in a lone grave on this farm close to Middle Creek. In 1787 Abraham sold this farm and moved about a mile north.
In 1788 he bought a tract of land in the same township from John Carpenter for 3400 lbs. This purchase was recorded in 2/5/1790 in Philadelphia. This property was actually a Indian reservation. The last of the tribe, the Nanticokes, remained on the land until all were dead. As a result the descendants of Abraham are referred to as the "Indiantown Brubachers".
There is a small family graveyard, referred to as the "Abraham Brubacher Cemetery" in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania, that has a monument to Abraham.

Abraham Buchwalter, the father of our subject, was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in February 1794, twelve miles east of the city of Lancaster. He acquired the usual common-school education and added to his knowledge by extensive reading in later years. He possessed an observing eye and retentive mind, and these qualities enabled him to gain an excellent fund of knowledge. He too was a farmer by occupation, making that pursuit his life work. In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, he married Elizabeth Witwer, whose birth occurred in that county. Her father was Rev. Witwer, a minister of the Mennonite church as a highly respected man who for many years devoted his energies to the word of the gospel. His services were especially demanded on the occasion of on the occasion of funerals, and his marked sympathy and broad acquaintance made him particularly capable in delivering addresses on such occasions. He was one of the best-known Mennonite ministers of his day, and was also a wealthy farmer of Lancaster County, owning an extensive and valuable tract of land. He died in his native county in middle life. His children were Isaac, David, Benjamin, Michael, Daniel (who became a physician), Elizabeth and Barbara.

According to "In the Footsteps of Joseph Hampton and the Pennsylvania Quakers," by Vernon Boyce Hampton, Doylestown, PA: Bucks County Historical Society, 1940, p. 75:
"Hannah Kester was the daughter of Paul and Hannah Kester and a direct descendant of Paulus Kester, who came from the Upper Rhine to Germantown, Philadelphia, in 1687."

Aside from V.B. Hampton's assertion, however, unfortunately Hannah cannot be connected to any of the known Kester/Castor families in the Philadelphia and Bucks Co. areas.

Hannah was a Quaker. She received a Certificate of Removal from the Monthly Meeting in Buckingham Twp., Bucks Co. to Wrightstown in 1773.

Hannah married Isachar Morris on 5th day, 12th month, 1773 at the Buckingham Monthly Meeting. Witnesses were Isachar's mother Lydia Roberts, his sisters Catharine Morris and Ann Morris, and Hannah's presumed parents Paul Kester and Hannah Kester.

The couple had seven children: Lydia in 1774, Elizabeth in 1776, Isachar in 1778, Mary in 1781, Joseph in 1784, Sarah in 1788 and Hannah in 1791.

It is assumed, but not confirmed, that she was buried in the Wrightstown Friends Cemetery.

The village of Cedarville Ill is next to Freeport the largest village in the county. It is beautifully situated on Cedar Creek, a small stream which rises in the town of Rock Grove, and is so abundantly supplied with the springs along its course in the prairie, as to furnish sufficient water power for a large oil mill about a mile and a half east of Cedarville, and only some five or six miles from the spring where it takes its rise ; and at Cedarville there is now a large flouring mill and a saw mill on the same stream, and it is considered that at the same place there is sufficient water power for a large factory. Although the stream is not very large, the supply of water is so constant, that in the greatest drought no inconvenience is experienced. In 1840 there were a few houses built in Cedarville, but it was not until about 1846 that the village began to take a start. About this time John H. Addams built the large grist mill he at present owns. Ever since his arrival in that place in 1844, Mr. Addams has taken a lively interest in the progress of the place, and there is no doubt that much of the improvement now manifested is the result of his liberality and enterprise.

ADDAMS, Isaac, Esq., a distinguished and greatly esteemed resident of this city, died last Wednesday in his 63rd year. (4-18-1809ed.)
Obituaries Published in the Readinger Adler, 1800-1815

Isaac Addams (47265491)

Suggested edit: His father, of Scottish background, had laid out and sold the plots of land that were to become Adamstown (originally Addamsburg) in 1761. In 1773 is father left him 100 acres in Adamstown where he'd been living at death plus 73 acres in a plot adjacent to it. From 1777 through 1786 Isaac had six sons there, who show up on the 1790 Census for Cocalico Township.

In 1776 Isaac Addams was appointed captain in command of a militia unit raised in Cocalico Township, which was dissolved in 1777 upon the term of enlistment having elapsed. This company was in a battalion assigned to the "Flying Camp" program, which is to say they were to be sent out of state (unlike normal militia) and were to be under the ultimate command of George Washington. Addams' brother-in-law William Witman was a private in that company, but when it was dissolved he was promoted to lieutenant and given a command of his own in the regular Continental army, and some of the former members of Addams' militia company then joined Witman's company.

Adult Film Actress. Born Kelly Van Dyke in Danville, Illinois, she was the daughter of television's "Coach" star Jerry Van Dyke and the niece of Dick Van Dyke. Her pretty looks, famous name, and physique quickly caught the attention of the Adult Film industry, and her first film, "The Coach's Daughter" (1991), was an obvious play to cash in on her father's name. Following this, she worked in three other adult films, including "Club Josephine" (1992). A drug abuser most of her adult life, she was married to actor Jack Nance, best remembered for his role of sawmill owner Pete Martell on the television series, "Twin Peaks." She committed suicide by hanging herself in the bedroom of their North Hollywood, California, apartment. Her husband, Jack Nance, was later murdered in December, 1996.
