John DROMGOLD

[44222]

20 MAR 1811 - 13 JAN 1887

Family 1 : Bandiena HENCH

INDEX

[44222] Find A Grave memorial 157658470 offers: "John was a farmer in Saville township, Perry County. He and Bandena had these eleven children: Eliza Jane, Jemima Ellen, Margaret A., Sarah P., Clarinda Carline, Samuel M., twins William Scott and Thomas M., Alfred Walker, Stewart Turbett and Delila Agnes." “The News [Newport, PA], 22 January 1887,” p. 1: “John Dromgold, the subject of this article, had been almost a life-long resident of Perry county, Pa. He was born near Markelville. His father came from Ireland to America and after wandering from place to place finally settled in Perry county, near Markelville. His children were three sons and two daughters, John, Edward and Manassah. John survived all the others. He did not know of any relatives in the United States on his father's side. For some years prior to 1842 he moved to Juniata county, where he carried on farming. In the spring of 1842 he returned to the lower end of Liberty Valley, Perry county, to take possession of the farm which he had purchased and on which he resided continuously to the day of his death, which occurred on Thursday, the 13th of January, 18S7. He had not been in good health for about ten years, though only for about six months prior to his death that he did not go from home. On the day of his death two of his neighbors had called in to see him. He was sitting up in his bed with his feet resting on a chair in front of the bed, and while engaged in conversation with these two neighbors in his usual cheerfulness, relating to them an accident that happened him many years ago, he suddenly raised one hand to his breast and remarked ‘What does this mean?’ and two or three gasps and he was dead. He was married to Bandina, daughter of Samuel Hench, one among the early settlers of Liberty Valley, and by whom there were nine children, five sons and four daughters. Five sons and two daughters survive. One daughter was married to W. G. Kochenderfer, near Ickesburg, but died about fifteen years ago. One daughter was married to Solomon F. Bower, of Blain, who died last fall. One daughter married Nicholas Ickes and now resides in the state of Nebraska, and the youngest daughter married Philip Kell, residing near Ickesburg. Two sons, S. M. and W. S. Dromgold, reside in Perry county, the former near Blain and the latter on the old homestead. W. A. Dromgold, a member of the firm of Hench and Dromgold, resides in York, Pa. T. M. and S. T. Dromgold, the former of whom resides in the state of Illinois and the latter at Elmore, Ohio. These two are regular practicing physicians. On Sunday, Dec. 3d, 1876, John Dromgold followed the remains of his wife to the Buffalo Stone church, where she was interred. Since the death of his wife he had his home with his sons, who conducted the farm. John Dromgold was a man of firm and decided convictions, and when he had assumed his position it was almost impossible to move him, but he who succeeded in convincing him of a more reasonable or tenable position invariably gained his friendship and his friendship thus gained was lasting. He always was a regular attendant at church on the Sabbath dav, though was not connected with anv of the churches until about a year prior to his death, when he united with the Lutheran congregation at the Buffalo Stone church. He was a man of strong moral nature, a defender of right and ready to condemn the wrong. When in health he was fairly well informed upon the passing events of the day and delighted to converse upon events. In politics he was a democrat of the old school and he had these principles so thoroughly fixed that he could not be moved therefrom. He was not a politician in the present sense of the word, though on election days he felt it a duty to see after voters of his party. In the death of John Dromgold the people have lost a kind and good neighbor and those to whom his hands were ever open will only now know what a friend and neighbor they once had in the deceased. None can say that they ever called on the deceased in his life time for a favor that it was not accorded them if it was in his power to do so. He was always delighted to see his neighbors get along well. He was energetic himself and was pleased when he saw energy in those around. He took an interest in public affairs and was at different times identified with the interests of the township though no aspirant for public office, yet the trusts committed to him were always discharged with satisfaction to the people and with honor to himself.”

A file appended to the unverified Peter Golla Family Tree in Ancestry.com in 2013 offers:

John Southworth was born in 1526 in of Samlesbury, London, England, England. He died on 3 November 1595 in Salmsbury Hall, London, England. . . . Sir John came into possession of Samlesbury and many other estates during the difficult times of 1546. During Elizabeth's reign he was in constant misunderstandings with Sir Francis Walsingham about his "Romanism," and questionable loyalty to Elizabeth. To add to his misery the eldest son and heir had become a "Protestant," the first of the family to leave the established church. In 1584 Walsingham, hearing that young Thomas was to be disinherited, had old Sir John placed under detention in London. In 1594, he was allowed to return to Samlesbury, after spending several years in Fleet Prison, broken in spirit and health, and died Nov. 3, 1595. He made a will "Weake in Bodie but of perfect remembrance," and what he remembered must have been bitter, indeed.

The Boston Transcript, September 2, 1931: Sir John Southworth Knt., of Samlesbury Hall, Lancashire, died 1595, was not "extremely wealthy." He was land poor. There was a caveat against the probate and administration of his will. After his debts were paid the remnant of his estates went to his eldest son Thomas, whom he had threatened to disinherit, with remainder to John, eldest son and heir of said Thomas. Prosecutions, fines, imprisonment and absence from home on bail during his long persecution wrought havoc with his estates. Thomas, with a large family to support, had become heavily indebted to his father-in-law and had to encumber his estates still farther to pay the Lister annuities mentioned above. He died in 1617. His son and heir John had died v. p. in 1612, so his grandson Thomas inherited the estates. He died in 1622-23 aged about twenty-two, leaving a son and heir John, aged ten months, who died in 1635-6 aged fourteen. His brother was his heir. He died in 1641, aged seventeen years, leaving sisters as his heirs. Litigation between them and their Uncle John, the heir male, ensued. John received Samlesbury and his nieces the "Mellor" estates. This John had six sons and eight daughters. When he died in 1675 his first and second sons had died v.p., so his third son inherited the estate which was encumbered past retrieval, and 1679 passed entirely out of the family. We see the law of Primogeniture that the estate had seven owners in less than a century and there were three others that would have inherited it but died too soon. The above also shows the tendency of the family to die young, and Edward Southworth of Leyden did die young as we shall see. An illustration of the lack of wealth in the family is the pitiful case of Edward's niece Mary, whose father died v.p., and whoe brother inherited the property from Edward's father in 1617, the year after Mary's marriage to the Rev. James Martin, M. A., of Oxford. In 1623 he lost his living becasue he had churched mothers of illegitimate children without a public confession. In 1633 he wrote two pathetic appeals to the Archbishop of York . . . that his wife and son had died of starvation in the streets. And this was the fate of Mary Southworth brought up in Samlesbury Hall, Lancashire. It is not surprising that we found her Uncle Edward earning an honest living in Leyden as a weaver. As to the logical chronology of D. L. J.: Adam in his History of Blackburn gives Thomas born in 1561, and bases upon it "a point overlooked by the court." in his Southworth Pedigree, page 658, et seq., he gives John the eldest son the Thomas as father on nine children and that he died in 1612. He also gives the marriage of Sir John and Mary Assheton July 23, 1547, which date agrees with the Catholic Record Society. This makes Thomas their eldest son, born fourteen years after their marriage. This might happen if their four daughters were all born before any of their seven sons, but otherwise it would be incredible, unless Webber was wrong when he stated that she was a widow. Note a strange coincidence. Thomas's parents had seven sons and four daughters, and he also had seven sons and four daughters. All were named in the pedigree. 1561 is wrong, Thomas was born about 1548, the year after his parents were married. Ducomentary evidence gives Thomas and four brothers born and living in 1562 and by comparison of the Visitations of Yorkshire we learn that Rosamond Lister, his wife, was married between 1563-4 and 1571 and by documentary evidence that their sons John, Thomas and William were born and living in 1582 and probably one or more of their four daughters. Richard, Michael, Christopher and Edward were born after 1582 but all eleven children were living in 1595. This would bring Edward, seventh son, born about 1590. All the sons were living in 1602, but evidence shows that only William and Christopher of the sons of Thomas (died 1617) were still living in 1622. This shows that Edward died earlier.
