Myers and Jerry A. Clouse (Harriburg, PA: 1984), pp. 58-9, and the newsletter of The Perry Historians, Vol. 9, No. 5 (Sept., 1984), p. 5. A posting in Ancestry.com in 2006 states that Henry is son of Nicholas Hollenbaugh (b. 21 Jan 1759 in Lynn, PA) and Anna Elizabeth Balmer (d. 28 Apr 1806), and that Nicholas is son of George Michael Hollenbaugh (b. 30 March 1720 in Lindflur Franken, Germany, d. in 1790 in PA) and Anna Margaretha Dietemer [sic](daughter of John Jacob Dietmer). The 1860 federal census of Madison Twp., Perry Co., PA shows a Henry Hollenbaugh (age 76, a carpenter) with wife Catharine (78), Lydia Hollenbaugh (46) and Roxannah Arnold (60).

INDEX

[471] Wyatt is son of Wyatt Moore, Jr. and Olive Tarlox per Mark E. Honey who shared the list of known children (1/96); see his "History of Mariaville, ME." The 1860 federal census in Surry, Hancock Co., ME lists Wyatt, age 77, in the household of Moses Hainworth. Ancestry.com offers: "Moore Name Meaning - English: from Middle English more 'moor', 'marsh', 'fen', 'area of uncultivated land' (Old English mor), hence a topographic name for someone who lived in such a place or a habitational name from any of the various places named with this word, as for example Moore in Cheshire or More in Shropshire. English: from Old French more 'Moor' (Latin maurus). The Latin term denoted a native of northwestern Africa, but in medieval England the word came to be used informally as a nickname for any swarthy or dark-skinned person. English: from a personal name (Latin Maurus 'Moor'). This name was borne by various early Christian saints. The personal name was introduced to England by the Normans, but it was never as popular in England as it was on the Continent. Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Mórdha 'descendant of Mórdha', a byname meaning 'great', 'proud', or 'stately'. Scottish: see Muir. Welsh: from Welsh mawr 'big', applied as a nickname or distinguishing epithet."

INDEX

[14444] http://www.masshist.org offers access to the papers of Samuel Whitcomb and reports: "Samuel Whitcomb was born in Hanover, Mass. on 14 Sept. 1792. He served in many careers throughout his life including bookseller, landowner, clerk, journalist, and education advocate. He began selling books in 1810 and served in this capacity until the 1820s. His bookselling career was interrupted only by service in the War of 1812. In 1817 Whitcomb married Mary Simmons Joy who traveled with Whitcomb as he sold subscriptions of Thomas Waits' publication, 'Publick Documents and State Papers'. While traveling throughout the Southern states and the Midwest (primarily Illinois), Whitcomb purchased land that he later rented through an agent for profit. Whitcomb originally settled in Cohassett and Dorchester, Mass. By 1825 he had obtained a position as a foreign entry clerk in the Boston Custom House. While working in Boston and living in Dorchester, Whitcomb became involved with various organizations such as the Dorchester Workingmen's Party, and served as its secretary from 1830-1832. As early as 1833 Whitcomb began pursuing work in Washington, D.C., and by 1837 became a revenue clerk in the U.S. Treasury. In 1845 while still living in Washington, D.C., Whitcomb worked as a correspondent for the 'Boston Journal'. He researched and wrote articles on politics and education, specifically advocating the high and graded school systems. His work for the 'Boston Journal' fostered his friendships with Edward Everett and Horace Mann. While in Washington, Whitcomb also worked for the Teachers Placement Agency, 1845-1849. As early as 1836 Whitcomb had purchased land in Springfield, Vt., but still spent most of his time in Washington. In 1850 he and Mary retired to their home in Vermont and there he pursued his personal interests in education, politics, religion, railroads, and canals; and assisted Vermont veterans of the War 1812 in obtaining bounty land from the government as payment for their service. Whitcomb died in Vermont on 5 March 1879." See also "History of the Town of Springfield, Vermont," Charles Horace Hubbard, Justus Dartt (Boston: George H. Walker & Co., 1893), pp. 498ff.
