Name https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Robert_Test_To-Do_List

Started working on our family's genealogy in 1995.

just retired and thought I would have lots of time to work on genealogy but have so many other projects going that I'm lucky if can find an hour or two per day for it.

Trying to get more stuff on my website but its slow going. Began my own genealogy site in 1998:

Robert, Last week, I found a little booklet with Mary C. Test's name as author "On Sitting Still" published by the Friends Book Store in Phila. I think that is probably Mary C. Brantington who married Daniel D. Test. If so, that leads me to think we are 5th cousins from Isaac and Margaret's dau. Rebecca Test Coppock -> Isaac Test Coppock -> Homer and Mabel Coppock -> Paul R. Coppock -> Paul O. Coppock -> Jim Coppock.

I you have any interest in the booklet, I could scan it and send the original to you. It seems to be a grade school level First Day Lesson.

Hi James

I'm pretty sure we're cousins but not through the author of "On Stitting Still" - I have files on her but I can't find them on my computer right now and won't be able to look until tomorrow. Mary C. Brantingham was not the author. The author was someone who met a Test -- and it might well be a Daniel Test -- they both at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio. She's written a number of other books about the Quakers -- I can't think of the titles of any of them -- Nothing like getting older forgetting things -- I'll be in touch

Thanks for this. Looking forward to your info. I will be busy preparing for guests to see the big eclipse event tomorrow, so no rush needed.

Robert, I see we are seventh cousins twice removed via the Hiatt family with Rachel (Wilson) Hiatt the common ancestor (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wilson-3064).

Hi Robert,

I've been the same route, sort of. Got so fed up that I eventually took my Facebook down entirely, and removed all political items from my blog. (what is the sound of one hand clapping?) I've been devoting my blog to my Oregon Trail ancestors (six of them) and enjoying the research on their journey. Still at vegetarianbear.blogspot.com (aka Pandababy). I love the look of your Test family website. Really artistic - beautiful.

You already may know who the John Denn and Leah Denn are in the wedding guests list for Francis Test and Elizabeth Bacon, but just in case, following is who I think they are. Then I got sidetracked on the Denn lineage so throwing in Charlemagne just for fun.

Very nice pages on the Robert Test family, and thank you for the compliments on my work on Samuel Bacon & family. I love it when connections are made that throw light on who our ancestors were. Looking over the guest list at the wedding, two people are listed one right after the other, Leah Denn and John Denn. I think they are husband and wife: John Maddox Denn (1693 - 1733) and Leah (Wooley) Denn (1699 - 1749). I think they were married the year before Francis Test and Elizabeth Bacon were married. They are Denn-4 and Wolley-309 at WikiTree. Denn is one of my surnames that goes back to the Middle Ages, through Halsnode, Harflete, Brockhull, Criol -- to Gilbert de Peche and his wife Maud Hastings, through her to Ida Hainault, to Baudouin Flandre, to Cunigundis (Vermandois) von Wettarau and from her to Carloman Carolingian and straight through to Charlemagne and his grandfather, Charles Piipinid Martel (The Hammer) who saved Europe from the Moors in the Battle of Tours in 732. A half a dozen variations on that theme will get you to the same ancestors - 1,200 years of lineage. But if you are not descended from the Denns, there are thousands of other routes to Charlemagne.

Well, I got 'a little' off track, but do want to say your website is really lovely and I like the way you have laid out the evidence completely. Best regards, April Dauenhauer

I was unable to connect my Collets to Jeremiah Collett. I checked Brian's on line Collet research, and

there were no connections given. His research contains what I sent him of my Collets into the Laniers in ENgland:

Will of Anne Carter, widow, of London [PCC, PROB 11/201, q.189], 31 Mar 1647]; proved 27 Sep 1647 at Greenwich by Clement Lanyer and his wife Hannah, daughter of the deceased. Anne wished to be buried near her husband John at All Hallows, Lombard Street; among her bequests: the lease of the ‘Barrel and Oyster’ in Gracious St to Clement and Hannah Lanier; they to pay £5 to AC’s son Thomas Collett from recent takings; bequest to AC’s son Richard Collett includes a ‘picture which represents the land of Flanders’; bequests to her other children William Collett, George Collett, Valentine Collett and Elizabeth; beds to her grandchildren [children of Clement and Hannah] John and Hanna; the residue to Clement and Hannah Lanier, they to be executors. Overseers: Dr Critton [Creighton] of Greenwich and Richard Collett. Witnesses: Richard Bassano; Francis A Biographical Dictionary of English Court Musicians 1485-1714

my data is in Appendix one here:

Hi Margaret -- MERRY CHRISTMAS to you

I just uploaded some new documents on Wm Hewes 1690-1746 to my website -- Might be soon adding some more. Did you see the biography of Wm Hewes published in Pennsylvania Legislators: a biographical dictionary? I have it here: https://testfamilygenealogy.com/History/Hewes/WilliamHewesIII/frame.html

William Hewes was serving in the Assembly when it voted to build a new Pennsylvania State House -- Today we know it as Independence Hall --its the building that housed the 2nd Continental Congress when the Declaration of Independence was voted on and later where the U.S. Constitution was written.

Hewes served 7 terms in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives or, as it was known then, as the Pennsylvania Assembly.

Happy Holidays, Bob

I believe that This William Hewes 1690-1746 is related to you. As I understand it, you're descended from Jeremiah Collett. His farm was next to both William Hewes' land as well as next to the Withers family. Jermiah Collett is the grandfather of Mary Withers who married this William Hewes.

By the way, do you have the land maps that show the location of Jermiah Collett's lands in Chester County, Pennsylvania? The maps are on ancestry at https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1127/images/31617_072080-00738?treeid=&personid=&hintid=&queryId=0a6f6ac40b35e24abdc32db2f73ff999&usePUB=true&_phsrc=YGU1843&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true&pId=4821063

Look for image 65. Let me know if you have any trouble finding it. I could send it to you as well if you'd like.

Can you please put a location on your Stewart (even the minimum country is important) profiles? It is a potential family match and I want to avoid duplicates. Please don't leave those fields blank. Thank you!

Hi Debi

Thank you for the message. Everyone here seems to be so helpful.

I plan to join the Quaker project -- I clearly have a lot to learn about using wikitree so I'm taking it slow -- This John Test who is the originator of the American part of the family wasn't a Quaker although his parents were and so was his second wife and all their children.

So I'm thinking this kind of puts him in a limbo -- part of Quaker Project or not?

posted by Robert Test
Hi Robert,

Thank you for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Collaboration is essential because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants.

The Quakers would be a great choice based on your family tree. Review the project page to learn about resources they have gathered as well as how to collaborate with the project members.

I saw your pre-1700 project question about your Quaker ancestor, John Test. Please include categories for John's monthly meeting and burial location if you know them.

Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)

Debi ~ Pre-1700 Greeter & Quakers Project co-leader

Hi April

Love your blog. For twenty years I never posted political material but recently I've been so fed up that I posted a couple of anti-trump links everyday to the home page on my genealogy site that nobody reads either. I took the political stuff down a few weeks ago.

Then I started posting it to the facebook page my wife set up --it goes by Robert Loch-Test - I've been lagging on it -- all I do is click the facebook link whenever I read an article I like -- Here's something I can blame you for -- after looking at your blog I was motivated to post a couple more articles about Trump on the facebook page today. Hoping everything goes well with your husband's surgery. And I also hope the world survives the next couple of years.
