In Reply to: Re: Stull, grandchildren in will by Thomas Miller of 915Henry b. 1765, Jacob b.1766, William b.1768, Mary b.1770 & John b. 1772 are the children of Ludwig Stull. They are mentioned in his will dated 1806. By the time his will was probated his son William had died. I believe that his son John was a minister as Henry & Jacob were given his land in the will & they were to pay a sum of money to John. Henry & Jacob were to furnish lodging to William & Mary as they were young unmarried children at that time. Of course before the will was probated William had died & left a will disposing of his share of the estate.
Thanks, Will include some notes that I have on my families, see if you have any ties or common links.
This is my line far as I have it. Some have said that the wife of my Henry is not what they have, but it is what I had found thus far, perhaps second marriage? My STULL went to Elizabeth Stull, dau. of Henry STULL and Mary Seibert, he was born 13 Sept 1806 Quincy, Franklin Co., PA died 24 Oct 1887 Skidmore, MO. I have a picture of the family setting up camp in what became Skidmore, all in traditional dress. I have a Fredricka Stull married Hiram Knepper. I have a few John Stull's but no middle names given so far. I do have a John Stull son of Henry Stull and Susannah Backner, brother to my Henry Stull. I only have that he had a daughter Elizabeth but no further information. Born abt 1810.
Henry Stull married Susannah Backner was born 24 July 1764 in Quincy, Franklin Co., PA and died 4 July 1830 in Washington Township, PA. He was son of Ludwig Stull who was son of unknown Stull, this Ludwig had a brother Valentine, don't know other siblings but sure there were others.
On John Stull son of Henry that I don't have anything on except a name of a daughter, no spousal name given so far..

Henry Son of Ludwig Stull:

From records of Bonnie Everhart, June 1992. Henry Stull (1806-1887) is the son of Henry Stull and Susannah ? Henry was born in Franklin Co., Penn. around 1765. He was the son of Ludwig Stull, Ludwig, who died in 1806, was one of the earliest settlers in Franklin Co., Penn. He purchased land there in 1755. He served in the Rev. War, along with Valentine Stull. This relationship has not yet been determined.
I have located a record of Valentin Stoll, a single man, endentured to pay for his passage to America, in the list of Communicants of the Hill Church, (Luthern) in Pike Co., in Berks Co., Penn. in 1754. He appears in the passenger list of the ship, "Rawley", docking in Philadelphia, 23 Oct 1752. The name of Ludwig Stull does not appear on the ships list, but it should be remembered, that only persons above the age of 16 were named. Several other passengers on that ship have been traced to villages in the Saarland District of Germany, near the French border. Other members of the Berks Co., Congregation have been traced into Franklin Co., Penn.
Any information on the descendants of David, Lawrence and Susan, who apparently stayed in Ogle Co., Ill. would very much be appreciated.

In the spring of 1868 he sold (Elder John Forney) his holdings in Illinois and taking William, Christian, Samuel, Jacob, Michael and Jeremia with him together with Joseph Johnson, Abraham Horner and John Horner, went overland to Falls City, Neb., where they bought more than a thousand acres of land down the Muddy Creek Valley, from the late Stephen B.
