Cornelius Westfall Cornelius Westfall was the founder of Thorntown in Boone County, Indiana in 1830, and built the first house in Thorntown. Cornelius Westfall and the house he built in Thorntown, Indiana are pictured in a book "The Thorntown Centurial", published in 1930.� The book is about Thorntown, Indiana, which was founded in 1830 by Cornelius Westfall.� Cornelius Westfall was born 7 Mar.�1778�in�Beverly, Randolph County, Virginia, and died�5 Sept. 1856�in Wolf Grove, Illinois. He married 1st Elizabeth Bryan, married 2nd Rachel Dye, and married 3rd Sarah Mary Davis 10 Oct. 1823. She was born in�1802�in Beverly, Randolph County, Virginia, and died�in�1874�in�Wolfgrove, Illinois. Cornelius was the son of Jacob Westfall born 1755 and Mary (King) Westfall. His grandparents were Jacob and Judith (Hornbeck) Westfall. His great grandparents were Jurian and Styntje (Kuykendall) Westfall. His great great grandparents were Johannes and Marritje (Kool) Westfall, and Cornelius's great great great grandfather was the original Westfall immigrant to America who came to America in 1642 from Holland, Jurian Westfall who married Maritje Hansen. -------------------- Cornelius Westfall's gr. gr. gr. grandfather Juriaen Westfall (Westvael) was born in 1629 in Holland. Jurian Westfall was the first recorded Westfall ancestor in America. He came to America in 1642. On August 4, 1642 Jurian Westfall (Juriaen Van Westphalen) arrived in New Amsterdam, New York aboard a ship called "The Houttuyn" from Luyderdorp, Holland. He was only 13 at the time. His family had migrated to Holland from Westphalia in Germany in the 1600's. It is not known whether his parents died in Holland or enroute, or he came with other relatives. He then went up the Hudson River 135 miles arriving at Fort Orange (later Albany) New York on August 11, 1642. He arrived as an indentured servant to killiaen Van Reassalaer. He was placed in the home of Michael Jansen ... Jurian moved south of Albany to Esopus (later Kingston) New York with his friend and fellow indentured servant Evert Pels in about 1653. He was granted 32 morgan (70 acres) of land Sept. of 1654. He married Marretge Jansen that same year. On Aug. 17, 1659 Jurian and 12 others petitioned Peter Stuyvesant to establish a chuch at Wiltwyck (Esopus was briefly named Wiltwyck and later after British rule called Kingston}. Jurian signed with a three pronged fork of trident mark. The church was established. Numerous records regarding Jurian and his descendants are available in records of the then Dutch Reformed Church of New York. ------------------- The following information is from a book "American Nomads" written by Emily Stowell whose ancestor Jacob Kuykendall married Sara Westfall daughter of Johannes.... The Esopus Indians lived near Wiltwyck and for a number of years they were peaceful, but in 1663 they burned and looted the town. There were 12 men, 2 children, and 4 women killed, and 6 women and 7 children taken prisoner. Jurian and his family escaped harm at the time, but later in 1667 or 1668 Jurian was killed by Indians who were at war with the Esopus Indians while he was guiding a troop of British soldiers. Jurian married Marretje Hansen about 1654. Marretje was born in about 1636 in Holland. Her father was Hans Hansen or Jansen (Hans Jansen Van Noordstrandt). Hans was born about 1610 on Norstrand Island, Netherlands, and migrated to New Amsterdam in 1638. He worked as an interpreter and often traveled between Holland and the new settlement. He married Rymerig Volkert, and they had 4 children-Marretje, Hans, Simon, and Elsa. His wife died in 1645, and Hans placed Marritje who was just 9 and her sister Elsa in the home of a farmer Phillip Garretsen where they learned the art of homemaking. Hans died in 1690 in Flatlands, Brooklyn. After Jurian's death Marritje remarried to Jacob Jansen. Marritje died after 1670 in Ulster, Kingston County, New York. ---------------- In 1696 Jurian's son Johannes Westfall and 18 others including his brothers Symen, Nicholas, and his widowed sister Rymerick Quick bought land from the Minsi Indians along the Delaware River near the New York/New Jersey line. The land lies principally in Deerpark Township, Orange County, New York. The peaceful Minsi Indians were one of the three tribes of the Lenni Lenape people. About 1699 Johannes and his family moved to what was called the Minisink settlement. They were among the first white people to live in the area. Johannes oldest son Jurian and his friend Jacob Kuykendall hunted and trapped with the Minsi Indians as youths, and later traded with them. Jurian married Jacob's sister Styntje Kuykendall and Jacob married Jurian's sister Sara westfall. They raised their families and farmed there in the Minisink Valley along the Delaware River at peace with the Indians for many years. Jurian had the first apple orchard in the area, and Jacob established the first trading post. --------------------- Jurian and Marretje (Hansen) Westfall had 6 children-Rymerick Westfall, Nicholas Claes Westfall, Johannes Juriaen Westfall, Abel Westfall, Symen Westfall, and Elsjen Westfall. Cornelius Westfall gr. gr. gr. grandson of Jurian Westfall was born 7 Mar.�1778�in�Beverly, Randolph County, Virginia, and died�5 Sept. 1856�in Wolf Grove, Illinois. Cornelius Westfall married 1st Elizabeth Bryan, October 13, 1795 in Nelson County, Kentucky. (Note: I don't know if Cornelius Westfall and his 1st wife Elizabeth Bryan had any children. I have been unable to find any information about any children they may have had together.) Cornelius Westfall married 2nd Rachel Dye, April 25, 1809 in Miami County, Ohio, and she died in 1823. Rachel Dye was born about 1784 and died in 1823 in Miami County, Ohio. It is probable that Cornelius Westfall and Rachel Dye had no children together since her estate was divided among her relatives. Rachel Dye was a daughter of Andrew Dye and Sarah Miner. Andrew Dye was a son of James and Sarah (Leach) Dye. He was born in 1744 near Cranberry, Middlesex County, New Jersey and he died on July 5, 1831 in Miami County, Ohio. He married 1st Sarah Miner in 1768, and she died in 1810. She was a first cousin of Martha (Curtis) Washington wife of President George Washington. Andrew Dye moved to Maryland and from there to Whiteley Creek in what is now Greene County, Pennsylvania, where in 1785, he had warranted to him a tract of land under the title "Sparrows Nest." He had met and married Sarah Minor, sister of Colonel John Minor, one of the first settlers on Whiteley Creek, a daughter of Stephen and Athaliah (Updyke) Minor. During the Revolutionary War he was a soldier in the Pennsylvania Line for which service he received a pension. Sometime after 1790, he removed to Kentucky and then in 1803, to Ohio, where he died at Stillwater, Newton Township, Miami County, on July 5, 1835. His second wife was Mrs. Ann (Lamb) Evans, who was born April 11, 1767, and died January 7, 1843. Andrew Dye and his second wife are buried in Pleasant Hill, Miami County, Ohio.

Catherine Roddy, sister of Henri Roddy married Thomas Elinger. Jacob Stalnaker Sr. Jacob Stalnaker Sr. was born abt. 1710 in South Carolina. He died in 1792 in Beverly, Randolph Co., Virginia. He was buried in Scotts Lake, Beverly, Randolph Co., Virginia, Stalnaker Cemetery. He married Marie Elizabeth Truby. He was a son of Captain Samuel Stalnaker born in Westphalia, Germany, died in 1769/1777, and Sarah (Susannah) Williams died on 18 Jun 1755 in Augusta Co, Virginia (killed by indians). Captain Samuel Stalnaker and Sarah (Susannah) Williams had the following children-Jacob Stalnaker Sr born abt. 1710, married Marie Elizabeth Truby born abt. 1720; Adam Stalnaker born in Virginia, died 18 Jun 1755 in Virginia (killed by indians); Nancy Stalnaker born abt. 1717, married James Booth born 1705 in Wales; and George Stalnaker. Captain Samuel Stalnaker was an explorer, trapper, and guide, and the first white man to discover Cumberland Gap. He was a Captain in the French and Indian Wars, and was a mediator between the Indians and the early Virginia government. He commanded a stockade fort at Draper's Meadows. The name Stalnaker is derived from the German word "Stahal" and "Stald" for steel, and "Negel" meaning sharp point or spear. The origin was "Stahlnegel" meaning sharp pointed steel spear. So the word was first applied to a warrior who was armed with such a weapon. (Note: That Samuel Stalnaker was in Augusta County, Virginia before 1748 is proven by the Journal of Dr. Walker, who states that in April, 1748, he met Samuel Stalnaker on his way to the Cherokees. (Filson Club Papers, No. 13, Page 42). On March 23, 1750, Dr. Walker again met Stalnaker, who had just come to the place to settle on Middle Fork of Holston River, the last western settlement in Virginia. Here his house was built and here, no doubt, the Cherokees wished to meet the Commissioners of Virginia. On the map of 1751, this settlement is located on the Middlefork of Holston River, a few miles above its junction with the south fork, which is now Washington County, formerly a part of Fincastle, and the first county in Virginia named for George Washington. When Samuel Stalnaker was born; where he was born; when and where he was married, is unknown. The next record we have is in Summers History of southern West Virginia, Page 58, in which is given a register of persons killed or taken prisoners by the Indians in 1754, 1755, and 1756, on the New and Holston Rivers and Reedy Creek. This register states that Samuel Stalnaker on Holston River was taken prisoner, and escaped, but that his wife, Mrs. Stalnaker and his son, Adam, were killed. The official report of this is found in Dinwiddie Papers, Vol. 2, Page 447, in a letter written to Governor Sharpe of Maryland by Governor Dinwiddie dated April 1, 1756, regarding Indian troubles saying "One Stalnaker who was taken prisoner by Shawnees escaped and says he saw six French officers and one thousand from Outboten?
