My Spouse’s
Family Bingham ~ Buckley ~ Hoschouer ~ Hickcox ~ Hutchinson ~ Madison ~ Monroe ~ Newberry ~
Herrington
Of all the families I've researched, I think this family
has been the most interesting with some pieces of history and stories that
even my grandchildren would be interested in.
Hanging out with Annie Oakley-that's something kids can remember!! Most of this information was found using
Ancestry.com and Genforum. Most of this information comes from Chris
Christianson's information. I've
emailed him to obtain more information as to his sources and am waiting on a
reply. Some of this information comes
from the research of a cousin, Brian McCullum, and
another distant cousin Philip Smith and I am checking on those sources
also. Thanks to these people and a
little hard work on my part, I've been able to put this Family tree page
together. The recent photos of Iaasac and Catherine
and the headstones found in the Hoschouer Family
Cemetery come from Robin Hoschouer Zeller who still
lives near the family homestead.
The Hoshouer family is from Rossburg, Darke
County Ohio and Lancaster, Pennsylvania from the old Pennsylvania Dutch
families and
can trace their ancestors back to Germany, Switzerland, and
France

Our
Grow Connection is through my late father in law, Jimmy Wilford
Grow
My Spouse’s
Family Grow ~ Black ~ Crabtree ~ Garwood ~ March ~ Pruett ~ Piet ~ Stice
The Grow family is
from Germany. Our Grow was married to
a Crabtree. Grandma Grow was full Cherokee Indian though. I married into the
Grow Family. They accepted me with
open arms and always treated me like just another member of the family
Grow NAME
·
North German: variant of Groh,
(German: nickname for a grizzled or gray-haired man, from Middle High German grā ‘gray’.)
·
North German: variant of Growe or Grube. (German:
topographic name for someone who lived in a depression or hollow, from Middle
High German gruobe ‘pit’, ‘hollow’. See also
Gruber.
·
German: from a personal name Grubo, which merged completely with 1.
·
German: The earliest known American
bearer of the surname Grube was the Moravian
missionary Bernhard Adam Grube, who was born in
1715 in Thüringen, at Walschleben near Erfurt,
Germany. He was sent to PA in the spring of 1748, where he was a teacher.
Subsequently, he volunteered for work among the Indians. He lived out his
years in Bethlehem, PA.
Crabtree NAME
- Dweller at a Crab-Apple-Tree
- Our
Crabtree family comes from Yorkshire, England, Tennessee, and Missouri
- The
Crabtree family originated in Yorkshire, England-the name coming from
the fact that they lived by the crabtrees in
the county of York. The earliest record 'From the Crabtrees
of Southwest Virginia'-no longer in print was of John Crabtree who lived
in Yorkshire around the end of the 14th century; William Crabtree of
Yorkshire, during the same time period; William Crabtree of the parish
of Smithe, Yorkshire 1412; and a bit later,
John Crabtree of Halifax, Yorshire. All the
Crabtree's are thought to have a common origin in the Crabtrees of Yorkshire. 'Crabtree Tule River
Patriarchs, Marilyn Meredith, 1984, Golden West Publishers'
- The
Crabtree name can, with high degree of accuracy, be traced back to 14th
century England. At about that time the use of surnames became popular.
As far as we know, the Family Crabtree started in only one place, a
village in Yorkshire. It seems that this large family group was centered
about one large Crabapple Tree!
- The
first known record of a Crabtree coming to America was in 1622 in
Massachusetts. The record of these Crabtrees
vanished until some Crabtrees appeared in
Philadelphia and then moved on to Baltimore. source: "The Crabtrees of Southwest Virginia"

Our Extended Family Connection is
through relationships and marriages of our Family
Our Extended
Family
Rodriguez ~ Sutcliffe ~ Benitez ~ Critchfield ~ Darrough
Our Anderson and Blaker Connection is through my Foster Parents, Betty and
Ivan Blaker
My Forever
Family Anderson ~ Blaker ~ Crawshaw
Anderson-Blaker Family
The Anderson-Blaker
families came from Scotland and Northern England and
possibly Germany. This is my “forever family”; the family that
I adopted as my “Parents” when I was in high school. My “forever family” showed me the real
meaning of “family”, “parents”, “sisters”, “aunts”, “uncles”, “grandparents”
and “unconditional love” is really all about.
I learned how to be a “Mom” and a “Grandma” by watching them be
wonderful parents and grandparents to my children. I learned about “love” from watching them
love so intensely and so unconditionally.
I don’t honestly know where I would be today if I hadn’t become part
of their family. I carried little
“traditions” to my own small family from what I learned from this wonderful
family.
Anderson NAME
·
Scottish and
northern English: very common patronymic from the personal name Ander(s),
a northern Middle English form of Andrew. The frequency of the surname in
Scotland is attributable, at least in part, to the fact that St. Andrew is
the patron saint of Scotland, so the personal name has long enjoyed great
popularity there. Legend has it that the saint’s relics were taken to
Scotland in the 4th century by a certain St. Regulus.
The surname was brought independently to North America by many different
bearers and was particularly common among 18th-century Scotch-Irish settlers
in PA and VA. In the United States, it has absorbed many cognate or
like-sounding names in other European languages, notably Swedish Anderson,
Norwegian and Danish Anderson, but also Ukrainian Andreychyn,
Hungarian Andrásfi, etc.
Blaker NAME: English: variant
of Blacker or Blocker
Crashaw Name: English
Rodriguez NAME:
Spanish (Rodríguez) and Portuguese: patronymic from
the personal name Rodrigo.
Sutcliffe NAME:
English: habitational name from any of the three
places in West Yorkshire, so named from Old English sūð
‘south’ + clif ‘riverbank’, ‘slope’,
‘cliff’, or a topographic name with the same meaning.
Benitez NAME:
Spanish (Benítez): patronymic from Benito.
Critchfield
NAME: English: variant of Crutchfield.
