"Straubs, Smiths and Extended Family" on http://wc.rootsweb.com by Christina Straub offers:

Valentine Foose was the seventh child of Nicholas Foose (born before 1715 in Alsace, Germany) and Elizabeth Glass (d. 1731) Nicholas was a merchant and died September 17, 1762 in Amity Township, Berks Co., PA. In 1742 Nicholas was one of the 49 renters of land on McCall Manor. This 14,060 acre tract (a grant to John Penn in 1701 who sold it in 1735 to George McCall, a Philadelphia merchant, in Montgomery (then Philadelphia) County extended along the Berks County line to the Schuylkill River, including the present Pottstown. Nicholas made a trip to Europe and again took the oath of abjuration on August 15, 1750 upon his return to Philadelphia as one of the "foreigners" carried by the ship Royal Union from Rotterdam. A comparison of his signatures shows similarities between those to the 1731 oath of allegiance and the 1750 oath of abjuration, Nicholas continued to live on McCall manor or nearby as he daughter was married in New Hanover in 1753. Not long before his death in 1762, Nicholas moved a few miles westward to Amity Township in the newly formed Berks Co. His name is not on its land indices or on the existing Amity tax lists of 1754, 1758 and 1760. But he owned land since he was termed a yeoman of Amity Township in the estate accounting. Nicholas died September 17-30, 1763. Elizabeth was Nicholas Fuss' only known wife, and hence the mother of all Nicholas Fuss' children born in America. The first record of Elizabeth by name is in that of her son's 1745 baptism (Whihelm Fuss born June 4, 1745, baptized November 3 at New Hanover Church as son of Nicholas and wife Elizabetha).

Misc Notes for Johan Nicholaus Fuss: Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine, Volume XVIII-No. 2, September 1951. The early American settlement of the Foose (Foos or Fuss) family was in theSchuylkill River valley between Valley Forge and Reading, Pennsylvania, in the present counties of Montgomery, Chester, and Berks (see Figure 3). Thevariations of the family's name on records :in Pennsylvania are normally Foos, Foose, Fuss and, rarely, Fass, Feis, Feuse, Foas, Foice, Fooce, Foot, Fouce, Fouse, Fouze, Fow, Fuce, Fuchs, Fus, Fuse, Fusse, Fusz, Fuys, Fuz, Fuzz. The names are pronounced similarly to goose or foot. This is Germanic and indeed the name is German for foot. Nicholas or Johan Nicholaus Fuss, First Foose-to-Settle in Pennsylvania. The "Account of Palatine Passengers on board ye Pennsylvania Merchant, John Stedman, Commander, from Rotterdam (Holland), at the day of their arrival at Philadelphia, September 10 th---1731" includes in the list of "Men over sixteen" years of age the name--Nicholas Fuys. and in the list of "Children under the age of .16, the names Magdalena Fuvs and Maria Fuys. The complementary list of those same "Palatines imported in the ship Pennsylvania Merchant, Jno. Stedman. Mr., from Rottm., but last from Dover (England), Qualified Septr.. 11th., 1731" before the Court at Philadelphia, contains the signature of .this immigrant,. Niklas Fuss. As stated in the preceding paragraph, with Nicholas on the Pennsylvania Merchant in 1731 were two daughters under 16, but no wife. Perhaps she died on the arduous voyage to America; if so, he soon remarried., (In one recorded instance in 1732, the transatlantic crossing took 24 weeks. and over 100 of the 150 passengers died of hunger. These ships were very crowded and unsanitary; bad weather and pirates often prolonged their voyage.) Clues to the Origin and Early Homes of the Foos Family in Europe: Letters in 1906 between Foos families in America, Germany, and France (the result of an exhibit in Paris by The Foos Gas Engine Co. of Springfield, Ohio being seen by a lawyer from Paris, Louis Foos) yielded the following information: According to Louis Foos. the family was of Alsatian (area of France on the-German border) origin. Around 1738 a father came into discord with his three sons after which two migrated, one to Germany and one toAmerica. The 1738 date is interestingly close to Nicholas Fuss's 1731 arrival in America. The grandfather of Louis (who was the son of the son that did not migrate away from Alsace), Benard Foos. was born in Shedes (Schaidt), Alsace in 1773. The father of Louis, Pierre Foos, was born at Riedselsy, Alsace in 1808.A letter to Mrs. Theodore Baily in 1948 from Martha Schollmayer, born Foos, of Bad Durkheim, Germany stated that her family originated from Christian Foos,--the son who went to Germany andsettled in Wahenheim in the Palatinate where he married and had a son in 1740 whose name was Phillip Foos. She indicated that the name Foos was then a very rare one. She also indicated-that the family was originally Catholic, but that she had been brought up in the Protestant faith of her Mother. In 1609, the hamlet, Nofelden, Germany had 21 house owners including Jacob Foos, and living with him were wife, Eva, two brothers, Nickel, a linen weaver, and Thomas, also two sons and a servant, per the Protestant Church Archives of Konken, Hence, Nohfelden, Wachenheim, Riedselz. and Schaidt (using their modern German spellings) may have been early homes of the Foos family or families. . . . .the above municipalities are located as follows: Nohfelden is located about 7 miles south of Birdenfold; Wachenheim is about 15 miles West of Ludwigshafen; Riedsely, France is about 15 miles west of the Rhine River and 4 miles south of Weissenburg; Schaidt is 7 miles east northeast of Weissenburg. These four towns in the Palatinate and Alsace are within about a 60 mile area.

Life of Nicholas or Johan Nicholaus Fuss in Pennsylvania: Nicholas Fuss may have come over as a redemptioner (indentured servant), as did so many to pay for their passage. His name has not been found on the scanty church records of various denominations of the region before 1745, or on the lists of road petitioners, freeholders. Patentees and records of Old Philadelphia County. In 1742, Nicholas was one of the 49 renters of land on McCall Manor. This 14,060 acre tract (a grant to John Penn in 1701 who sold it in 1735 to George McCall, a Philadelphia merchant, in Montgomery (then Philadelphia) County extended along the Berks County line to the Schuylkill River, including the present Pottstown. Nearby in Oley, Daniel Boone was born in 1734 and Abraham Lincoln's ancestors lived near there during the 1730-50 period. On the map, Figure 3. McCall Manor is east of the Schuylkill River, between the river and New Hanover.Nicholas made a trip to Europe and again took the oath of abjuration on August 15. 1750 upon his return to Philadelphia as one of the "foreigners" carried by the ship Royal Union from Rotterdam. A comparison of his signatures shows similarities between those to the 1731 oath of allegiance and to the 1750 oath of abjuration, also between those to the 1731 oath of abjuration and to his will of 1762. Nicholas continued to live on McCall manor or nearby, as his daughter was married in New Hanover in 1753. Not long before his death in 1762, Nicholas moved a few miles westward to Amity Township in the newly formed Berks County. His name is not on its land indices or on the existing Amity tax lists of 1754, 1758, and 1760. But he owned land since he was termed a yeoman of Amity Township in the estate accounting. Nicholas died in September 17-30,1762. Elisabeth was Nicholas Fuss' only known wife, and hence the mother of all Nicholas Fuss' children born in America. The first record of Elisabeth by name is in that of her son's 1745 baptism (Wilhelm Fuss born June 4, 1745, baptized November 3 at-New Hanover Church, son of Nicolas and-wife Elisabetha.) The last record of her is the 1786 confirmation of Friedrich, son of Widow Elisabeth Fuss, "across the Schulkiel at the Peikstown Church"(now Zions): the church is located: near Spring City.

David was the son of Lieutenat Colonel Samuel Howe , and Samuel's first wife Martha Bent(1638-1680). In 1716 David Howe received a licence for a "House of Entertainment" along the Old Boston Post Road,one of the first mail routes in the country,known then as "Howe's Tavern" In 1748 David's son,Ezekiel Howe,then poprietor,would call it "The Red Horse Inn". Lieutenant Colonial Ezekiel Howe led the Sudbury Minute and Militia to Concord center at the beginning of the Revolutionary War on April 19,1775. The Red Horse Tavern and Inn in Sudbury was just about halfway between Boston and Worcester,the Inn became a regular and popular stopping place for travellers between these two towns.It was owned and operated by four consecutive generations of Howe's.The last of which was Lyman Howe(1801-1861). When Henry Wadsworth Longfellow visited the Inn in 1862,Lyman Howe became the inpiration for the fictitious character he created for his poem "The Landlord's Tale",more widely known as "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere". When publised in 1863,The Tales of a Wayside Inn were so popular that by 1866 they brought the Inn to a level of national significance.The First verse of Longfellow's Poem goes....
"Listen my children and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere ,On the eighteenth of April,in Seventy-five; Hardly a man is now alive Who remembers that famous day and year"

On October 14, 1716 Nehemiah How of Sudbury and his father in law Captain Benjamin Willard and son Joseph,Webster and Thomas Pratt,of Framingham,bought from the heirs of Framingham schoolmaster Benjamin Thompson 300 acres. The property consisted of land in the wilderness called Collett's Farm,according to Suffolk Co. deeds.In 1717 Nehemiah sold his estate in Sudbury and moved to Framingham. In 1727 he moved again to Grafton, MA, closer to Worcester, where he was one of the signed witnesses to the Indian deed for Grafton. On April 9, 1728, the first meeting of the proprietors of the common and undivided lands of Grafton was held at the home of Jonathan Howe (Nehemiah's older brother) of Marlborough. On April 19, 1728,the second proprietors meeting was held at Nehemiah's house in Grafton. Nehemiah Howe served in the following: In 1732 he was on a committee to adjust the treasurer's accounts, and on a committee to settle a disagreement on the division of lands. He was among the first church members at Grafton,being assigned the fore seat. In 1733 under the division of land at Grafton,he received 5 acres. He was a moderator of the proprietor's meeting in 1734, A Selectman in 1735, Chosen to procure a schoolmaster for the year 1736, and was paid 4 pounds, 1 shilling, 8 pence for the keeping of the school. He was Town Clerk 1736-38, Assessor 1737. He was on a committee formed to discuss the minister's salary in 1738. He was School committee and Town Constable in 1739. Nehemiah Howe was a well established in Grafton, Massachusetts and an influential citizen in town affairs. After a committee received a report of the survey of township #2,now Westmoreland, NH on November 30,1736, a charter of the lands was issued. The following persons were grantees under this Massachusetts charter: Nehemiah Howe's older brother Daniel Howe, two of his sons, Joseph Howe and Daniel Howe Jr., two of Nehemiah Howe's sons, Joshua Howe and Abner Howe. Other grantees were Thomas Chamberlain, Moses Wheeler, Jethro Wheeler, Harriden Wheeler Jr, Josiah Foster, Meshach Taylor, Benjamin Alldrige, Jonathan Hildrith, Nathaniel Wooster, Jeremiah Hall and possibly others. In the spring and early summer of 1739, Nehemiah Howe bought three full township rights at the Great Meadow. The records of those deeds are found at Springfield, Massachusetts. In the Spring of 1741, Daniel Howe, Nehemiah Howe, William Phipps, Jethro Wheeler, David Rugg, Robert Baker with their families traveled up the Connecticut River in canoes from Northfield, MA and made what was the first settlement on the Great Meadow #2(East Putney). Nehemiah Howe's brother, Daniel Howe had previously traveled ahead of his brother and the other settlers to make a survey of the land to ensure its viability for settlement. Upon their arrival they cleared the ground at the Great Meadow, Putney. In the center of the clearing they built themselves a fortification known as Fort Hill. Within a short three years they were maintaining a healthy stock of cattle and cultivated fields for their food supply.

The year 1744 brought King George's War. The settlers were obliged to seek safety and shelter in Fort Putney. October 11, 1745, historically refered to as "Black Friday", was the morning that Nehemiah How was attacked and captured. He was returning from cutting wood a sixth of a mile from the settler's fort. He had gone just a few steps when suddenly he heard behind him "crackling of Fences" and when he looked back in the direction of the noise, he saw the red painted heads of 12 or 13 Indians running after him. He started to run while shouting in desperation,hoping to attract the attention of the guard at the fort. By the time he had run 10 rods the Indians had overtaken him.They then seized him and led him away into the swamp where they immobilized him by tying him up. Another settler, David Rugg who in a savage act of brutality was beheaded. Wanting to instill fear among the settler's the retreating Indians, in a gruesome display, mounted David Rugg's head on a pole and left it outside the fort. The Abenakis Indians of St Francis were numbered in a group of about fifty in all. Nehemiah Howe had been the first Connecticut Valley captive of King George's War during these brutal Indian attacks at the Great Meadow. Nehemiah was taken to Canada, where he was kept a prisoner of the French in Quebec for a year and a half. Just as he was about to be set free, he became sick with fever and was taken to a hospital where he died on May 25,1747.

His death was a severe blow to his family, and to the community where he was known, as one of his contemporaries wrote of him, "he was a loving husband,and a tender Father;greatly beloved by his brothers and sisters,and indeed by every one who was acquainted with him". He possessed a heir of cultivation and refinement far beyond the ordinary.He kept a journal during his prison life which was of great value for other captive families. The many items in it brought news to loved one of other captives, who otherwise would never have known their fate. It is also a priceless legacy to his descendants, showing as it does, the beautiful Christian character of one who could endure the severest hardships with a grace and dignity rarely to be found. In 1748 his journal was used to publish "A Narrative of The Captivity of Nehemiah How" (1693-1747).

INDEX

For Richard and his descendants, see "Knowles Progenitor Biographies" by Robert B. Noles at http://www.kknfa.org/Knowles_Richard_1614.htm which offers:

"Richard Knowles, mariner, of Eastham, Barnstable Co., (Cape Cod) Massachusetts is the ancestor for a very large Knowles family in the U.S. The genealogy for the descendants of this Richard Knowles was well documented in 1973 by Virginia (Knowles) Hufbauer in the 'Descendants of Richard Knowles, 1673-1973' and previously by Charles Thornton Libby, Esq. in the NEHGS Register, Vols. 79 & 80 in 1925 and 1926 as 'The Knowles Family of Eastham, Massachusetts.' . . . Richard Knowles of Plymouth and later of Eastham in the Plymouth Colony, shipmaster, first appears in the New England records at Plymouth, 2 January 1637/8, and he apparently died between 1670 and 1675. Richard was one of the surveyors of highways at Eastham in 1670, but probably did not outlive either his son John, who was slain by Indians near Taunton 3 June 1675, or his son James, the inventory of whose estate was dated 10 October 1678 (Richard's name does not appear in connection with the estates of these two sons).


"Richard was married 16 August 1639 to Ruth Bower (b c 1620, in England), daughter of George and Barbara Bower of Plymouth and sister of Rev. John Bower ("Bowers" in the Harvard Quinquennial Catalogue), who died in 1687.

"The first appearance of Richard Knowles in the Plymouth records, in January 1637/8, was when he was haled into court at Plymouth 'for bringing a barke from Greenes Harbor (as the Winslow settlement in Marshfield was then called) on the Lord's day.' The record of the judgment is brief: 'Discharged.' There is nothing to prove that Richard considered Plymouth his home at that time. As a single man and a shipmaster it is likely that he considered his home to be under his hat, aboard his ship. However, nineteen months later he married a Plymouth girl, a recently come thither from Scituate; and before his marriage he had been granted, 'a garden place next to John Barnes.' This was on the 'Eele River side' of Plymouth, next to Duxbury.

"On the removal of the Bower family to Cambridge, about 1643, Richard Knowles and family apparently went there also. In the Cambridge records, under date of 4 November 1646, is the entry: 'Goodman Knowles for his swine divers times going without keeper is fined 1s.6d.' Richard's son James was born 17 November 1648 at Cambridge, while the family was living in Cambridge. Richard was back in Plymouth by 1649 for according to the Plymouth records of 1 December 1649 he was prosecuted 'for denying passage of cattell in the hiehway.'

"While a navigator by occupation, Richard, evidently carried on business on land also. His wife was prosecuted 7 October 1641 'for retailing of strong waters contrary to order' and 'for selling strong waters for five or six shillings a bottle that cost but 35s., the case' and she was fined10s., to be bestowed on the town's poor.

"Whether Richard Knowles made trans-Atlantic voyages or traded with the West Indies is not known, but it is more likely that his occupation was that of so many others, and that he went on trading voyages up and down the coast. The probate papers of the Boston merchant - Joshua Foote, in 1655, show Richard Knowles as one of his customers for goods. His election to minor town offices at Eastham prove his retirement from the sea in later life. In 1667 he twice served on coroner's juries. In 1669 Richard Knowles and William Walker were elected surveyors of highways, and in the next year Richard Knowles and Samuel Freeman were elected to the same office.

"The records of the Eastham town meetings in 1657 contain several references to the land of Richard Knowles and his sons John and Samuel.

"The children of Richard Knowles and Ruth Bower were: 1. John, born at Plymouth, 1641 m Apphia Bangs. 2. Mary (Mercye), born at Plymouth, c 1642 m Ephraim Doane. 3. James, born in Cambridge, 17 November 1648. 4. Samuel, born at Plymouth 17 September 1651 m Mercy Freeman. 5. Mehitable, b at Eastham, 20 May 1653 m George Brown. 6. Barbara, born at Eastham, 28 September 1656 m Thomas Mayo. 7. Ruth, born at Eastham, 3 November 1657 m Joseph Collins."

INDEX

[46837] Joseph and his family are from the "Pawling Genealogy," Albert S. Pawling (Lewisburg, PA: 1905), available at http://www.archive.org/stream/pawlinggenealog00pawlgoog/pawlinggenealog00pawlgoog_djvu.txt. This Genealogy reports: "Joseph Pawling, Sr., fell heir to his father's estate on the east side of Perkiomen creek, which was the old homestead of his father John, on which was the grist mill and family burying ground provided for in his Will and also his father's Will. There are two tombstones in this old burial ground, still well preserved, one of his wife, Elizabeth, and one of his son Benjamin. I can not find a record of Joseph's marriage, but I find in State Library, at Harrisburg, in 'New York marriages' the following: Pawling Joseph and Judith Shields, married, April 23, 1761. He may have been married twice."
