Hello, I am Audrey Martin. I was born in Ohio. I have become the family historian over the years. I have done extensive research on my own tree and have done a little research for a few friends.

I started researching in 2006 when my great-grandmother, Ina Corder Koger, passed away as a way to get to know my ancestors better so I could share what I learned with my future children. My main research interests are in Quaker records, South-Western Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Virginia mostly.

My mother was raised in the Quaker faith and has a long line of Quaker heritage on her father's side of the family. Surnames on this line includes: Kleppinger/Clippinger, Stubbs, Roberts, Taylor, Mendenhall, Everson, Kaufman, Mills, Heckman, Wear/Ware, Treese, Dearmond, Hardin, Jones, Miller, Gifford, Tarham, Hanger, Maddock, Hobson, Beck, Cook, Hawkins, Armstrong, Search, Conarroe, Whitson, Johnson, and Benson.

My mother's maternal line includes the following surnames: Bach/k, Roberts, Robertson, King, Hoffman, Maggard, Fields, May, Sergeant, Hodge, Elam, Coffee, Cooley, Raines, Hill, Pugh, Bailey, Stacey, Davidson, Morris, Deaton, and Gwinn.

My Paternal grandfather's line includes the following surnames: Hoppes, Dickerson, Thorn(e), Personett(e), DeLong, Surber, Bucco, Miller, Newhouse, Wallace, McCune, Dinsmore, VanPelt, Sergeant, Mathers, Hart, Hamilton, Wells, Lewis, Elliott, Beverlin, Watkins, Hardin, Hyatt, Smith, Linn, Clark, and Nottingham.

My Paternal grandmother's line includes the following surnames: Koger, Lovelace, Bookout, Cooper, Fox, Cagle, Gregory, Logsdon, Bell, Troxell, Coffey, Waters, Barrier, Loveall, Chrisman, Gholson, Massey, Corder, Kidd, Garner, and Alcorn.

Hey Audrey,

Just wanted to drop you a quick note and thank you so much for all the work you do with adding cemetery categories. I really appreciate it.

Hello Audrey, thanks for working on Frederick Joseph Vogler (1868-1936). I just noticed that I left a puzzle about his marriage to Wanda Mae Cook, were they married in Steubenville, Ohio or Belmont County, Ohio? Also Wanda isn't attached to him. If you are working on this I'll leave it alone. If not, I am currently re-editing a list of my profiles with these issues.
Hi Audrey. Happy Groundhog Day. I think the connection finder is really neat. Apparently, we are 9th Cousins =)

How to you know which profiles don't have burial information and which ones do? Second part with the ones that have burial information how do you know which ones have been linked to the cemetery list in WT and which ones haven't?
posted by Carol (Irving) Weldon
I guess reading the profile is the only way to find out if it has burial information. Whether it is linked to the cemetery list in WT, check categories - bottom of the basic profile page or in Categories section at the very top of the Edit text box.

Hi Audrey.

I've noticed you find many gravesites of our descendants. Some time ago, I searched and searched for any clue/lead for Mary Esther "Polly" (Chipman) Wheeler's burial location (Chipman-256). I never did find it. Would you consider helping me? She was my 3rd great grandmother. She was a Quaker. I would very much appreciate anything you could do. Thank you for your time!

Hi, my John Hutchins Stanley I (Quaker) b. 19 Sept 1776 married Anna Hopes b 22 Mar 1779 in Surry County North Carolina. They moved to Indiana before 1830. John is buried in the Carver Cemetery and Anna is probably buried there as well but has no stone. She is not forgotten though. They were among the earliest pioneers into that area of Indiana (Madison County). Her father was George Heinrich Happes b. 1747 who married Elizabeth Miller. George Happes father was George Happes who married Catherine Kern Lang. Any connection?

Hello Audrey - I also have a lot of Quakers. I see several of the same names in your family, that I have.

One in particular attracted my attention, the PUGH line. I have a James Walling, Jr 1773-1850, whose Mom is identified as Mary White Pugh 1748-1786. Some places just show her as Mary White. Both Wikitree & myself have her identified as Mary Pugh ( Pugh-978 ). Might this be someone that you have info on ? -I'm suspicious that the White part of her name is in error. She is in my Webb & Werner Family Tree on Ancestry. Regards, Bob Cole

posted by Bob Cole
I do have Pugh in my direct line but I don't have any information on a Mary Pugh. I haven't researched this line much either. My 4th G-Grandparents were Joseph Wesley Pugh and Virginia Jane "Jennie" Bailey. Joseph was born in Lee County, Virginia but quickly moved to Kentucky. By 1835, he was getting married in Morgan County, Kentucky and he died in Magoffin County, Kentucky. Keep in mind this line is not well researched. It was likely a result of clicking hints on ancestry in my early days of researching almost 20 years ago. I need to go back and research them more thoroughly. I know for sure I am related through their son Colonel Cornwallis Irvin Pugh. His daughter, Lucinda Jane Pugh Elam is my 2nd Great-Grandmother on my mother's mother's line. Her daughter, Carrie Evaline Elam Back is my great-grandmother and I knew her as a child. She died on Christmas Eve when I was 8.

We share George and Elizabeth Hoppes. Your Mendenhalls married Brown distant aunts of mine. You list McCune as a paternal line surname but I find no McCunes in your tree. My McCunes were VA 1700s..
posted by Ray Vick
Andrew Jackson Hoppes married Martha Jane Newhouse. She was the Daughter of George W. Newhouse and Catherine Bell McCune. This McCune goes back to Ireland in 1705 with John McCune. My McCunes settled in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania and Highland County, Ohio. Andrew and Martha are my 3rd Great-grandparents.

Hi, Audry ~

I, too, am researching Quakers in Pennsylvania, including the Mendenhall and Roberts families. My paternal grandfather was born and raised in a Quaker family, so about a quarter of my ancestors going back 300 years or so are Quaker. In my line, they lived in Chester County PA until my grandfather moved away. Families I'm researching there include Pennock, Yerkes, Lamborn, Hadley, Mendenhall, Baily, Phillips, Harvey, Buffington, Levis, Bowater, Gregg, Morton, Blackburn, Swayne, Bourne, Maris, Townsend, Newlin, England, Streeper, and Pusey, among many others.

I suspect that somewhere in there, we are cousins many times over.

Thank you for the work you’ve done to add to the few profiles I've managed to add to WikiTree.

Audrey, Notice you are a member of the ABNEY Project. What is your connection?
posted by Robert Abney
I am not related to Abneys as far as I know. I simply enjoy fixing suggestions on profiles that I run across. I did work on a small group of Abneys the other day while working on cemeteries. I also work on Remember the Children project profiles for babies and children. So either of these are ways I might of run into these profiles. Also working on profiles for people that died during the 1918 flu pandemic. Also if they lived in Appalachia I do a lot of work in that geographical region. So many ways I might touch a profile. Most profiles I work on I am distantly related to at best.
posted by Audrey (Hoppes) Renno
Audrey, Thanks you so much for your research. I am a descendant of a Frank W. Roberts (1810-1881). and I know nothing about him. I do know that he had a son, Frank Wallace Roberts born in MA. Everytime I see one of your Roberts postings I dig as deep into it as I can (know that you have already done that). trying to find out more. I do not believe that he was a Quaker, family lore says that he was from Wales.

Keep up the good work and know that there are. many people out here that appreciate what you are doing.

posted by Tim Roberts
I am fairly closely related to Roberts on my maternal side. Her father's family have been Quakers since Fox's time. Came over to Pennsylvania around the time of William Penn. This line includes all of my Robert's connections. Jonathan Roberts (1768-1855) was born in Pennsylvania and died in Preble County, Ohio is my earliest known Roberts ancestor. He was very much a strong Quaker. This side of my family have lived in Preble and Butler counties in Ohio since 1803 and are all Quakers. My mother was born as a birthright Quaker and remained in that church until the age of 18 when there was a church split at the church she had attended since birth. All of my family besides my mother and I still live in this area today. Taylor and Mendenhall are other names closely related to me in the Quaker faith in the southwest Ohio area.

Hi, Audrey. We are a DNA match on chr. 1 (12.9 cM) and 3 (9.6 cM). I did not recognize any of your Quaker names but you do have some other surnames that I also have. Are you on Ancestry?

Hi there Audrey, thanks for cemetery-categorizing a couple of Kentucky profiles I added. Looks like our research interests overlap.

Do you have a plugin or tool you use for this type of categorization and can you share it? Either you're superhuman-fast or you're using something that's a big time-saver.

Hi, Audrey

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.

Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

Welcome to WikiTree and DNA.

My name is John Kingman. I am a Coordinator with the WikiTree DNA Project.

When you have your part of our One Big Tree fleshed out and you are ready to supplement it with DNA test matches, please check out the DNA Help category page to see all the DNA help that is available, and the How to Get Started page in particular.

You may see some relatives show up in your list of "DNA Connections" on your profile if they have added a DNA test to their profile. These DNA Connections are possible DNA test matches, they are not sufficient for marking parental relationships as "confirmed with DNA" without providing a DNA Confirmation source citation providing details of the DNA match.

When you are ready to start documenting that your genealogy sources are confirmed by DNA test matches, be sure to follow the guidance at the DNA Confirmation help page. A profile should not be marked "confirmed with DNA" without source documentation for both genealogy and DNA test matching. Also, please try out the DNA Confirmation Citation Maker, I strongly recommend it for creating and/or validating your DNA confirmation source citations.

If you have questions or need assistance, feel free to ask on the G2G Forum using the Tag "DNA" and/or "DNA_Confirmation".

Happy hunting!

Hi, Audrey

We are so pleased you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.

Please visit our tutorial pages to learn how to use WikiTree: How To Use WikiTree. They will save you time, energy, and frustration as you add your family profiles.

Exploring the site is the best way to learn. One way to do that is to check out the drop-down menus on the top right side of your profile page. Finding a known ancestor and collaborating with the profile manager is another great way to start.

Questions? You can always use the G2G link in the Help Menu to find answers.
