In the chapter on the early Baptist Church in Elizabeth Township, it is written; ISAAC PANGBURN and SUSAN his wife (were members). MR PANGBURN was one of the original abolitionists, at a time, too, when it was about all a man’s life was worth to avow his sentiments but Mr P was not a man to be switched off the straight track by any amount of persecution or that stronger argument of the slave-holder – rotten eggs.

Phillip Bedient submitted copies of letters he located at Michigan State Library at Lansing We recognized that the letters appeared to be part of Lamora Magdaleno’s line, so we sent the copies to her for further research
Although the handwriting was very difficult to read, Lamora managed to decipher it and typed us a readable copy which we will share with you E J W PANGBURN - letters 1938 from Colton, Ca to Lansing, MI 543 N 7th
St, Colton Scrambled pages?
October 4, 1938
Dear Mr Pangborn,
No doubt you will be wondering who is writing to you from California
So this will identify me the undersigned My next door neighbor, Mr John McGregor, formerly of the same name and place in Michigan, has been my neighbor for over 20 years and he has spoken to me several times about you and not many months ago I read an article in his Home Michigan Newspaper where you are living in Bad Axe and running for Congressman on the primary election so my curiosity was aroused more than ever So I made up my mind to write you about the subject of Pangborn History
There are several ways of spelling the name – 1st original way Pangbone, then Pangburn by some and Pangborn our way and many Pangborne . I am a great, great grandson of Beebee Pangborn, who lived in Vermont
He had 2 sons as far as I ever heard of My great grandfather Ziba Pangborn born 1763 in Panton, VT and the other son Zabina Pangborn and two or three sisters or daughters I mean, Lucy and Annie I believe Ziba my great grandfather moved to Canada in 1822 and was Master Mechanic for the Molson Steamboat Line at Montreal until 1847 when he died at St Johns, Quebec of Thyphoid Fever at his son’s residence, George Washington Pangborn in September 1847
I could write a long history of his and grandfather, my father George Walter and my Uncle Herbert Alonzo Pangborn in their career in connection with the early steamboats on the St Lawrence River – and the first Railroad in Canada, the Old Champlain & St Lawrence Ry & Grand Trunk Ry
I kept up correspondence for years of inquiry but never could get beyond Beebee Pangborn What his father’s name was All I know is what my dear Father told me 4 brothers came to America about 1639 and settled in New York and finally I settled in New York and finally I settled in Vergennes, VT and I went to New Jersey and I went to Massachusetts
I wrote to Major John G Pangborn in Baltimore years ago He had the whole history but I could never get it or even hear from him He was connected with the Baltimore and Ohio RY and at Chicago World’s fair in 1893, had charge of all the exhibits of B & O Ry – all the old engines and cars and I met him there He looked very much like my Grandfather, G Wash Pangborn We had quite a long talk but is dead long ago and so I have never heard anymore
Several years ago I heard of Wm J Pangborn (poor writing; Canada or Monon Route) and lives in Michigan City, Mich He told me his grandfather’s name was Samuel his father’s was George Anthony But went by name of Anthony
This man had 3 brothers James, Joseah and Alonzo and Alonzo was killed in Toledo in 1856 My Grandfather had an Uncle named Alonzo I believe, so he named his 2nd son after him so we our side must be cousin or this Conductor and I would be about 4th Cousin
I heard of another Dan Pangborn who lived about 3 miles from Jackson, Mich and kept a Hotel there and used to give swell dinners to the ones who overlaid Frogs Legs Everyone liked to stop there and was known by Uncle Dan him and his wife were so kind and good to every one
And then there were 2 brothers Elizah and Myron Pangborn in Marshall, Michigan Myron was a Master Mechanic of M C Ry at Marshall, Mich and Elijah was a Watchmaker and Jeweller at same place I believe My father told me there were related to him
My father was 78 when he died in Downey, Calif April 27, 1919 My Uncle Herbert Alonzo died May 27th, 1932 and was 88 years old in Rockland, Ont, Canada and *I am 71 years old Sep 26, 2938 Commencing with Great Grandfather Ziba, down to myself, all were connected in Mechanical engineering Line for 100 years without a break
I would be much pleased to have you write and give me any information father back in History I know we are all of original Pangbourne Family but I would be so pleased to find out more and put it all together I have a book of the New Jersey side of Randolphs and Stephen Pangborns of Barnstable Would be pleased to hear from you if you have time and care if to write me I am a retired Loco Engr of Southern Pacific Ry after 39 years service Live next door to my good friend John McGregor, also a retired Ry Section Foreman, and wish to thank you in advance for your kindness and wish you all the greatest success and prosperity and good health in your election and life
I remain - Yours very truly,
E J W PANGBORN

Henry don’t know anything about him George was a cooper and carpenter and lived in Toronto when he died May 1903 aged 69 years He had 3 sons Fred, Percy & Norman and 3 daughters Mrs Stratton, Toronto; Annie died June 13, 1930 Louise still living at 179 Fulton St, Toronto Single Fred in Detroit, Michigan Percy and Norman no records of them I believe their Grandfather went to Canada in 1812 My father thought there were distantly related to him
I heard the original way our name was spelled was Pangbourne Some dropped the ‘E’ and ‘U’ and some the ‘O’ and ‘E’ It was 2 clans of Scotch Lowlanders and Highlanders of Scotland and Pang intermarried with the Bournes so hence the name PANGBOURNES so they all wanted to save ink So Ziba Pangborn said and dropped ‘U’ and ‘E’ and made it ‘BORN’
Pangborns of Ontario, Louise Pangburn, George’s daughter: Henry
Pangburn DIED IN Iowa, Sept 1930 George’s daughter told me in 1938 He was 81 years old
Elizabeth Pangburn she married Mr Trowbridge She died Also Sep 1919 in Toronto, Ontario
George Pangburn died May 1930 – 69 years old These were the children of ZIBA who came to Canada from near Syracuse, New York Louise says about 1812 Louis is the daughter of the above George and now lives at 179 Fulton St, Toronto, Ont
Then there were another Pangborn that kept a stopping place or Hotel rather in St Mary’s Ont not far west of Hamilton His name was Isaac Pangborne lived there in 1858; his wife name was Mary about 10 years ago I met a Mr John Turnbull who lived at St Mary’s and knew Mrs Isaac Pangborne; he put an ‘E’ at the end of ‘BORN’ I have an old Canadian Directory of 1858 of Upper & Lower Canada and Isaac Pangborn is there and keeps a stopping place a very fine place to stop St Mary’s is about 12 miles from Stratford, Ont
There’s a Pangman Family that were early settlers in Lower Canada in Montreal about 1786 according to what my Grandfather said Came over from the States they were called Skidadlers and my Uncle Herbert in Fall of 1879 when he was a Loco Engr on the Old North Shore Ry now Can Pac Ry he run over a man and killed him at St Lin Station, a man by that name Pangman – run over horse & buggy at Ry Crossing Uncle was running to Montreal, Canada
Then there are a Pangborn I think is name is Fred a butcher in Montreal near Point St Charles he spells it BORNE He and his brother George came from England and George lives in Sherbrooke Prov of Quebec they formerly live at Pangborne on the Thames in England so I understand no connection with Pangborns, Vermonters.
There is a Pangborn town in New Brunswick on Can National Ry I guess that’s about all of the Pangborns I know of
Now on page 6, I might also mention I have a book it’s about an inch thick called the RANDOLPH PANGBURN HISTORY – note it’s spelled “BURN” Handed down from Stephen Pangburn The Pangburns came from New Town Long Island where the name appears from 1675 to 1683 and came to Perth Amboy, New Jersey in 1774 (?) and died in Spring of 1778 and their descendants are all over the U S My grandfather said there were 4 brothers came to America This book was got up by C P McClure of the McClure Magazine folks This C P his name was Cicero Pangburn and lived in Allegheny Co, about 60 miles from Pittsburgh I got the book from him for $2.00 in 1916 He is dead some years now
This is a copy I got from Mrs John G Pangborn address No 3757 Westminster Place, St Louis, Missouri, USA on Feb 20, 1930: John G was Major in the Civil War and was dead when his wife wrote me and gave me this James or Cobas Pangborn came from Holland originally from England and settled on a farm in Albany Co, at a place called Stoney Hill, now known as Bethelham 8 miles north of Albany His Brother named John lived in Schenectady Co at Rotterdam Dam Jct & was named Squire Pangborn Wilhemus Pangborn, Cobas son lived in Albany and John G now
Major Pangborn his son and lives at above address Major’s Mother’s name was Gladding of Albany, NY They had a daughter named Mary went to London England in 1903 and was presented to King and Queen of England and visited the Town of Pangborne on the River Thames A great piece came out in the San Francisco Examiner paper Her picture was in it My father saw Major John G at the Chicago World’s Fair about the last of October in 1893 He had charge of the Baltimore & Ohio RY Exhibit of old and new Locomotives from 1832 to 1893 Father said he resembled his father George Washington and said as soon as he got home he would send father the whole PANGBORN HISTORY he had it but never did and his wife wrote this much and promised she would send me a copy of the history he had but I never got it so they may be all dead by now - Nov 17th, 1938 E J W PANGBORN, Colton, CA

Corners, Addison Co, Vermont, d 29 Nov 1873, burial, Laporte Cem, next to her sister Mary
James is known to have been employed in manufacturing, 1840 US Census, at Barnard, Vt and to have been a farmer and a blacksmith after the move to Michigan in 1868 He settled in Michigan on 40 acres, SW ¼ of the NE ¼, section 2, Richland Twp, Saginaw Co, Michigan, located about a half mile south of the Winslows in Midland Co A road that meanders roughly diagonally through the section is today named Pangborn Road Following Hannah’s death, 1880 U S Census, he is known to have lived in the Winslow household with widow Mary and sons William and Frank and Louisa who were just married James probably moved to Wisconsin with sons James or Henry shortly after 1882
James and Hannah Brown Pangborn had five sons all born at Barnard,

Alison Childs writes:
While going through some of my material on my Rynex ancestors I came across the following material that may be of some use to your researchers with Pangburns in the Gilderland, Albany Co, NY area This material was printed on heavy paper and did not appear to have been part of a book The paper was acquired by another relative when he was visiting Rynex descendants in the Flint, Michigan area I suspect that it was prepared for an anniversary or perhaps a family reunion Text follows:
THE + RYNEX + FAMILY

Isaac Rynex May 31, 1822, Schnectady, NY

Isaac Rynex June 12, 1864, Tompkins, Jackson Co, Michigan
Tuney Rynex Nov 23, 1866, Tompkins, Jackson Co, Mich
I have considerable information on the Rynex Family going back to the immigrant Valentijn Reijnneck (Rynex_ who came from Maastrich, Holland in the mid- 1700’s I do not have any additional information on Mary Pangburn
Thanks, Allison for sharing your material

We have a new researcher, Kathy (Hall) Knall, and she is looking for information on her maternal great grandmother, Emelia Pangborn Come on, researchers, help her out Send us some info to help her fill in the blanks

And another new researcher, Brian Tabor, says:
I am searching for Julianna Evarts, born 2-20-1784 Guilford, Conn dau of Ezra & Lorrain (Norton) Evarts She married ??????? Pangborn and was alive in the 1830’s when her father applied for his war pension He was living in Addison, VT I do not know what happened to Julianna I am a descended from her brother, George Evarts Any information appreciated
Brian needs your help Look through your records and see if you can find anything!
The following letter from Mary Jamison may give you some food for thought!
First, I want to thank you for all those Pangborn which my husband and I keep filed among our genealogical material He is a descendant of Stephen Pangborn’s daughter Rebecca, who married Jacob Jenson, the barrel maker, who had his work shop and farm on Milestone Brook just east of Highstown in New Jersey Consequently, we are interested in the early Pangborns We have found that in some material Stephen Pangborn’s three children, William, Lines and Rebecca are thought to be the children of his second wife Anna Montgomery The children are the offspring of his first wife Rebecca Imlay Rebecca was the widow of William Imlay when she married Stephen We do not know what her maiden name was
In looking at the material in the first copy of the Pangborn Letter in which you give your line starting with Peter, I have noted the name of his wife which is given as Grace Ffidoe I have , over the past few years been doing research which required me to learn handwritting two and three hundred years old I found a manual of old hand writing which has been a great help On the basis of my experience I would suggest that Grace’s name is Feder probably an old spelling of the modern name Fedder or Fedders In much old writing two small written letter “f” is a way to write a capital “F” The letter small “e” is very confusing It is written like a small “o” but has a little loop on the top A small “r” is just a little squiggle which on the end of a word could look like a small “e” I would like very much to see the manuscript or a film of the manuscript from which it cam Is it from the records of Oyster Bay, L I?
My other observation is that I found in a book on the genealogy of the Tuttle family that among the children of Joseph Tuttle and his wife Hannah Munson of New Haven, Conn, who were married in 1887 that daughter, Joanna, married a Stephen Pangborn and that son, Stephen, married Ruth Fitz-Randolph Are these people the new Jersey family? It would be interesting to know how they ended up in NJ
Any comment or enlightenment in these matters would be gratefully received
Good question, Mary Personally, I have never seen Grace Ffidoe’s name written on any document Does someone out there have a copy of a document with the name on it???

Martha Chism submitted some material she located in “Branches & Twigs” (Vol 7, No 2) on the estate of Hezekiah Barber He operated the Barber’s Ferry across Lake Champlain from Barbers Point to Arnold Bay, Vermont Hezekiah came to Westport, Essex Co, NY from Litchefield, Conn and settled in Barbers Point in 1787 Among the list of persons that owed Hezekiah money at the time of his death in 1818 were:
PANGBURN, DAVID

Nancy Pangburn Bauder writes:
“In researching my father’s line, that of Orin Darius Pangburn I’ve encountered a peculiarity I’d like to submit to you for you consideration and whatever advice you may have
As I wrote you when I submitted the Owen – Pangburn material in the spring, I’ve been at this only three years; therefore I lack expertise in this intricacies I did however as Doane suggests question my living relative first From family reports oral, no written documentation – I am told that the grand parents of my grandparents(the parents of Orin Darius Pangburn) were Dyer Pangburn and Catherine Hand My mother insists that my grandfather spelled these names very carefully for her
In the Spring edition of The Pangburn Letters, the parents of Orin Darius are listed as Jedediah Pangburn (Pangman) and Philinda Rounds
The source of this information is Viola Robert’s work I am confused, but I have an inclination which is pure conjecture I am wondering id Dyer could be a diminutive form of Jedediah (Diah-Dyer?) I wonder if Jedediah could have been married more than once I spent two days at Newberry in July and I found a notation in Viola’s work which I copy here as I found it
“From Records in Utica, NY
Herkimer, NY 1865 Census
Dyer Pangburn, 52
Mar 3 times
Wife III, Almira, 42 b NJ Mar 2:
11 children by first marriage and one by
second That one two months old”
I have no desire to be guilty of a novice’s hasty conclusions, but I wonder if this person could be the same person as Jedediah Incidentally, I recently made a trip to Roosevelt Cemetery in search of Philinda’s grave (per Viola’s information) and found no stone
I think this is very strange because the marked graves of Richard and Nancy Gay Pangburn, Orin and Lovina Owen Pangborn and Frank and Anna Bowering Pangburn are all there Only the one generation is missing
I’ve talked with Bill Wilsey about this and we’ve reached no conclusions If you have any ideas or observations, I’d be delighted to hear from you” Nancy, wish we could offer you more help – but since we can’t, let’s turn to our researchers and ask them to offer some suggestions or answers
