Being a History of the Bellinger Family in America and Its Origin. Gives Derivation of Family Name. ; Line of Descent and Interest­ing Data Concerning the Bellinger Family.

'This series began July 2, 1941)

| 2 Fredericks Bellinger II or Jun­ior born about 1710, died before Au­gust 27, 1791 (Let ter of Admin.) mar­ried before 1742 Anna Rosina Wal-radin, Schen. Ch. records, also will of her father, Hendrich Walrad dated 1746.

Children: Eight (Bellinger) 7 child­ren of 8 left + signs.

+81 Johann Friedrich I I I b orn 1746, died spring of 1834. He was the No. 1 Generator of Sadler Bible Fam­ily, Enterprise and News, 1930, March 10 to April 2. Six or more children.

+ 83 Maria born 1748 married 16 De­cember 1768 John J. Walrath of Pal­atine. Stone Arabia Ch. record.

""+84 John Henry born about 1750, married 22 January , 1771 Margaretha Windecker. Stone Arabia Reformed church record. Died before 1800 if in­dications of . S. Census are accepted. He was named for his grandfather Henry Walrath . Five children or six possibly.

+85 Maria Margre tha born 14 Sept. 1752, Schen. Ch. record, 'Med July, 1815, married Lt. Henry Timmerman 1738-1807. She had a son Frederick and a daughter Anna Rosina. Eight children. Lt. Henry had seven other children, younger than these eight.

+ 86 Catharina born about 1756, married 6 September 1776 Henry Hees. Fonda church record . Six children.

+87 Elisabeth born 1760, married before 1782 John George Laux, son of Adam. Nine children.

88. Delia born about 1762. Sponsor Stone Arabia Ref. church 28 January 1785. No other record. She is easily confused with 108 Delia who has a definite record.

Observe tha t there is room for Jost or Peter but none are known. There probably was an Anna Rosina about 1744, but there is no record of her. Col. Jacob Klock was not yet promi­nent enough to have children named for him. That came in the next gen-

1 2 Fredericks Bellinger n in some records he is called Jd.

"public Documents: Born about 1710 in order to come

in the Simmendinger Census. See note 2 Fredericks the Firs t .

He signed a a commendation with 31 others for the return of the Stone Arabia Dominie 14 July 1751. Eccles. Ree. of N. Y. Vol. V., page 3162.

Donor to building the Fort Herki­mer stone church 16 August 1753. He gave sixe times the amount given by George Klock, his brother-in-law. See Vosburgh's translation of records of Fo r t Herkimer church in Albany, Washington, D. C. and New York Genealogical Society. "Old George" left perhaps 10 times as much prop­erty in this world as 12 Fredick and his father.

Wills and Deeds: He is not mentioned in his father 's

will, which covers only personal pro­perty, but is mentioned in the will of his father-in-law, Henry Walrath, 1746, which gives wife, Christina, sons Henry, John, Adolph; daughters Mar­garet (George) Klock, Elizabeth (Oeorge) Windecker, Anna Rosina (Frederick) Bellinger.

His letter of administration 27 Au­gust 1791 was to Martin G. Van At-atyn«\ Canajoharie Court record Fon­da. No other papers nor the will are iww available.

He may have been an owner of those K. and N, a tents lots given in Note of 2 Frederick*-. He lived on Lot 35 or possibly on Lot 96. (a guess.) His son, 82 Frederick* deeded Lot 35 now in possession of Seymour Bellinger. His grandson 613 Jost3 , lived on or adjoining lot 35. See deed of 1797 to George G. Klock.

Histories and Books: 'First settler in Oppenheim before

1791" according to Hist. Montgomery and Fulton counties, page 237 by Beer salso Frothingnam's Fulton County, page 542. His earliest church record was for a daughter born 14 Septem­ber 1752. Schen. Cr. rec.

It is by no means a certainty t h a t all of the children assigned to 12 Fredericks are his but there are some reason for assigning each child. There-Is room for more children if their ag­es and names fit, for some who failed to survive and gome who made little or no Impression in the records,

Studies of records to obtain gen-enk>gii"al data are urged, as follow?):

A study of the church records given individuals who really heteng to the parents cited. (Errors in parents* names are exceptional.)

A study of the land records gives some idea where those in the church lived.

A, study of the sponsors in church records gives the neighbor* or near relatives of the child sponsored.

Service: Prisoner in 1759, had cap­tain's commission before 1763, suc­ceeded General Herk imer to the com­mand of the Tryon Company Militia, but not to the general 's rank. Klock family notes will be given under the following note 13.

Children: 3 or more (Klock.) "Old Mohawk Turnpike" page 24; "Old Pal­at ine Church" page 33.

1 3 Elizabeth Bellinger born about 1712 to fit the Simmendinger Census, 3 children (error in MacWethy's pamphlet) , died before 1766 to fit the second wife's dates, married Col. Ja­cob Klock before 82 October 1708 or 1705 (by Addie Po t t e r ) , died 1798, 11 May or 9 May.

Public Documents: Service: Prisoner in 1759 and "lost

his Captain's Commission," see Co­lonial Series II, 1763 page 79. Jacob Klock, Esq. was made Colonel (reap­pointed) 25 June, 1778, Council of Appointments in Poughkeepsie, page 38. Firs t Judge of Court of Common Pleas, Tryoti County November 4, 1778, pa^e 52 and 47. Also note, in same document Jacob "G." Klock, Esq. was made 6 March 1779 Coroner. Tryon county adn J. P., page 62, 69. Was at Oriskany. Went through the seven years of the Revolution as Sen-Officer of the Vallev Militia, was in actual command but never .a t tained the rank held by General Herkimer , because of jealousies of his Colonels, mainly William Harper . See Clinton Papegs. IV. p. 577. Harpe r said, "wee might a s well have a old woman a t the head of our molitti." His own Regiment consisted of 110 privates, 89 officers and non-coms. Of course they complained. They all wished to be colonel.

Wills: Will of her father Frederick the

First , 1764-8, mentions her as wife of Jacob Klock, Esquire . Tha t title meant something then, long before the days of lightning rod agents and tree peddlers who wrote Esq. after the name of every possible purchaser ad­dressed.

Col. Klock was executor of the will of 2 Frederick 1. I have the original official court copy, provided the Col. as Administrator.

Col. Klock's will was date 8 May 1798. He died 11 May 1798.

The papers covering the administra­tion of his will are very full. There were some hints of incompetence be­cause of his continually saying, "Where is Elizabeth," th inking he re­ferred to a granddaughter . To me it is extremely pathetic to observe in the gathering darkness of the "valley of the shadow of death" how his mind reverted to the one he needed in his sickness, the one ho loved, t he one he repeatedly called for, on whom he had always relied, the mother of his child­ren, his first wife who had died more than 30 years before

The Ancestor Backward, turn backward Oh! time in thy flight Give us an ancestor. Spurious or right. Wind up the Klocks That so long have run down. Hands up, old Klocks! And bring us renown. Pillars of salt We stand looking h ick . Lost to all freshness, Far from the t rack. We are content with The speed of the tortoise. Can we but join With the Sons or the Daughters . Hunt out the graveyards, s tudy the bones. Dig up the skeletons. Ratt le their bones. Juggle the records. Give them a shake-up. Make us descendants Of old Colonel Jacob. Backward, turn backward Oh! time in thy spite, Quench today's sunlight In yesterday's night!

QUERIES ZOLLER

I am taking one of tnose tour trips and stopped to see a friend at Camp Callan, Calif. He had an Enterprise and News and in it I saw your query about the Zoller family. I am also in­terested in a Daniel Zoller but do not know whom he married. Do you have any data on the following:

Ona September 16, 1751 a man nam­ed Daniel Zoller sailed from Rotter­dam on a boat of Ship Brothers. He seems to be the only one I can find that is Holland Dutch and I have al­ways been informed we were Hol­land Dutch.

I also find there was a Daniel Zil-ler died in 1835. He had a sister Nancy who married a Jacob Eaum, also a sister Elizabeth who married Solomon Diefendorf. Do you have any information regarding this Daniel Zoller?

BELLINGER

I should like information in regard to my grandmother Clarissa Bellinger who was born in 1806 and lived a t Mt. Morris, New York at the time of the 1850 census. She was the wife of Christopher Bellinger but I have no record of their marr iage and do not know her name before he r marriage and although I had an idea it was Miller.

I should also like information in re­gard to my aunt, Catherine (Kate) Bellinger, daughter of Christopher and Clarissa born in 1842 at Mt. Mor­ris. She was married to F rank (Ty-pher.)

WELLS f

Correction

i am sorry but data under above heading in issue of July 24, 1941 is wrong Through my carelessness the Wells da ta was mixed with that of Seth King.

What I want is ancestry of Stephen B. Wells. Compendium of American Ancestry, Vol. VI, page 614 gives a lit­tle. Stephen B. Wells (1823-1904) re­moved from Holland Patent and Floyd T., Oneida county, N. Y. to Ash­tabula, Ohio, married 1846 Catherine Boothe. I want to know about all the Wells, early in Holland Patent, Floyd and Trenton townships, Oneida county, N, Y., especially if they lived near Edward or Joseph Andrew Gran-nis.
