If these were not all his children why not listed in the census under | the heading "other free persons ?" If his children what were the names of the 6 unnamed above ? A resident of Florida when death came sudden- ly, was his will probated. Seemingly this ought to show all children. In case no probate, perhaps a deed of division among his heirs, perhaps a probate of his wife Christina Ser- voss 'estate (she died 1845) or a deed of division among her heirs might be found, any of these would most pro- bably give them.
3. Philip born Sept. 9, 1767 died April 3, 1847, married Margaret De- Graff born Dec: 5, 1780, died Oct. 19, 1866.
Who were their children, if any ? Were these 3 brothers sons of a Samuel who reputedly lived near Johnstown before 1760, soon thereaf- ter removing to Glen ? Note no Fred- erick Wilhelm or William among the brothers or their known children!, John and Christian C. both named what was likely their eldest sons: Samuel. Was this for their father or their wives' father Dr. (Capt.) Sam- uel Pettingill? Was Christian, C's. John Servoss named for his uncle John Pettingill or for Johann Peter Servos (Capt. Peter) his uncle or for Johannes, his first cousin, son of Jo-i hann Peter (Capt. Peter) or John, hls first cousin Jacob, son of Christo- pher of Lutheranville ? Did the father of John, Christian C. and Philip name John for his grandfather Johann Daniel and his brother Johann Peter (Capt. Peter, Christian C. for his father Christianus (Christ, Christian, and Phliip for his nephew Philip, son of his brother Johann Peter (Capt. Peter ?)

CRANDALL
Lewis Crandall born April 13, 1772, Dutchess county, dled Oct., 1875 age over 100, marrled Clara Shute. This man carrled provisions to Sackets Harbor in the war of 1812. I would like to know the names of his child- ren. The only one I am sure of was William born 1800, married Laura Church. These people lived in West- moreland, N. Y. where Willlam had 9 children, one of these was Enos T. 1832, marrled Mary Shepard 1857 an dthey had George W. and Ella B. who married Charles Miller. I would like to contact some member of this family in the hopes of getting this line straight. Lewis might have had also sons George who married Char- lotte E. Butters, resided Litchfield and Rome, aso Afred who married Amanda Dodge, widow of Alfred Dolge. They had a son James who married Sarah Goodson. James born In Bridgewater, N. Y. had a son Wm. Lonson Crandall born May 6, 1849, married Alice Griswold and lived in Harmony or Grove, Wisc.
I am positive Lewis was a son of George and Tacy Tanner of whom I have many records.

ZERVAS, SERVOS, SERVOSS
` (Continuation of query in this pa- per January 20, 1933. Refer thereto.)
Christianus Zervas 4-27-1726 free from military service after near 40 years and nearing 62 years of age with wife and 6 children is supposed to have set sail for the New World soon thereafter.
Where did he land on these shores and where did he settle ?
DOOLITTLE
I am trying to complete the fol- lowing Doolittle family:
Samuel Doolittle, son of Lt. Samuel and Jane (Wheeler) Doolittle, born Feb. 28, 1720 in Wallingford, Ct. In Palmer and Springfield, Mass. until 1744 when he called himself of Bate- man's Precinct, Dutchess Co., N. Y. Appears on the tax lists of the lat- ter place 1756 to 1766 inclusive. In 1761, Susanna Doolittle joined the Dover' Baptist church, Dutchess Co. She may have been Samuel's wife. In 1781 he buys land in Shaftsbury, Vermont. The last deed in which his name appears is dated 1793. He gives land to sons Samuel, Jr. and John.
Data on John is falrly complete. His second wife was Paulina Matte- son.
In 1793 Samuel, Jr. was of Spring- field, Otsego county. I have copy of his will in which he mentions sons Elijah and John and Samuel and "my wife and my several children that are now under age," dated July 20, 1813. In 1790 census he had 2 males over 16, 2 males under 16 and 4 females. In 1800-Males, 1 over 45, 1 to 26, 2 to 16, 2 to 10. Femaies, 1 to 45, 1to 16.
In 1810-Males, 1 over 45, 2 to 26. Females 1 over 45, 2 to 16, 2 to 10. 1
The Sarah Doolittle born 1749 who married Thomas Matteson of Shafts- bury and died 1823 In Shaftsbury probably was a daughter of the elder | guerilla forces, the only organized Samuel.
My own line comes down through Ephraim Doolittle supposedly the son of Samuel. At least Col. Ephraim Doolittle, Samuel's brother, of Shore- ham, Vt. gave Ephraim Doolittle of Shaftsbury, some Shoreham land in deed dated 1791. "The Doolittle Fam- ily in America" is Incorrect in stat- ing that Ephram 2nd was the son of Col. Ephraim. In the 1790 census, Ephraim Doolittle, Jr. is in Shore- ham with 1 male over 16, 3 males under 16 and 1 female. In 1800 and 1810 still in Shoreham. In 1820 he and sons Elisha, Wliliam and Eph- raim are in Moriah, Essex county, N. Y. In 1830 he and sons William and Ephraim are in Gainsville, Gen- essee county, N. Y. 1820 and 1830, in Decatur county, Indiana, in 1840, and Mahaska 'county, Iowa in 1850 census. His youngest son Joel lived with his father until 1840 census
when he appears in Miiford, Indiana. } 1." John drawing pension June 1, Ephraim Doolittle, Jr. of Shafts- bury was born between 1760-1765 in- Dutchess county if he is the son of Samuel and Susanna Doolittle. I am most eager to find and prove the name of his mother and wife. Also where and when he died. Also miss- ing data for his father.

EW IS YOUR PEP APPEAL?
'et a new thrill. Bought a case of Utia Club Pilsner Lager. A bottle with my noon and evening meals gives me wonderful pep. Ask your grocer. .
Impossible to fill orders unless empty barrels, bottles, cases return- ed quickly .- Adv.
to Philadelphia as regards Palatines, Frisians, Flemings, Germans, Dutch, Swiss, etc., no Christianus. Little as to ship's lists to New York city, tho Christianus couid have landed there and gone on to New Jersey or Penn- syivania, rather than settling in New York.
Certainly it is true there. were many of the name in New Jersey in early days one has only to consult the New Jersey Archives to find many of this name in Hunterdon, Middlesex and Morris counties, some perhaps descendants of Christianus.
Still another claims that rather than settling in New York or New Jersey, Christianus settled in Penn- sylvania.
So far as I presentiy know there is no evidence that he did so. I know only of this one person who claims to know the history of the family-and cntenods so; and he offers no proof to one who understands what evi- dence constitutes proof.
" It is true as shown by the Ar- chives of Penn. that the name (in its irregular spelling and · varlations thereof) is found in the early records of Lancaster, Northampton and Phil- adelphia counties but as also in the Ionian Islands of Greece and Epirus (Southern Alabama and Northern Greece.)
At this very moment, the moment you are reading this, the whole un- derground movement of Greece, the
forces of that most unhappy country, in the aftermath of the Hitlerite in- vasion and conquest, the forces still righting on in spite of Hun and the therefore barbarian occupation forces standing shoulder to shoulder and ifr the same cause with our own precious American boys; are led and commanded by Colonels Stephanos Serifas and Napoleon Zervas whom the 1st Secretary of the Royal Greek Embassy to the USA says may have originated in Serbia. In support see reports "Historical and Ethnological Society of Greece, Athens, Odos Patisslou, Magaron Polytechnou Greece.)
It is to be expected that a good name may be found anywheres, even (and in millions of cases) in Penn- sylvania.
Back to John, Christian C. and Philip of Glen, Montgomery County. (Samuel, putative father.)
Who were their children ? Was Samuel born 1803 died 1884, mention- ed Vol. 8, N. Y. Gen. and Bio. re- cords, the Samuel with whom John lived 1840 ?
· 2. Christian C. born approximately 1761, evidently married by 1783 (3 children by 1790), census of 1790're- cords him with 2 males under 16 and 1 daughter born 1790. Known child- ren were:
.
''1. Samuel born before 1790.
2. Jacob who entered Union College Schenectady, N. Y. class of 1812, ex- penses paid by his father.

division among his heirs, perhaps a probate of his wife Christina Ser-| voss 'estate (she died 1845) or a deed of division among her heirs might be found, any of these'would most pro- bably give them.
3. Philip born Sept. 9, 1767 died April 3, 1847, married Margaret De- Graff born Dec. 5, 1780, died Oct. 19, 1866.
Who were thelr children, if any? Were these 3 brothers sons of a Samucl who reputedly lived near Johnstown before 1760, soon thereaf- ter removing to Glen ? Note no Fred- erick Wilhelm or Willlam among the brothers or their known children, John and Christian C. both named what was likely their eldest sons: Samuel. Was this for their father or their wives' father Dr. (Capt.) Sam- uel Pettingiil? Was Christian C's. John Servoss named for his uncle John Pettingill or for Johann Peter Servos (Capt. Peter) his uncle or for Johannes, his first cousin, son of Jo- hann Peter (Capt. Peter) or John, his first cousin Jacob, son of Christo- pher of Lutheranville ? Did the father of John, Christian C. and Philip name John for his grandfather Johann Daniel and his brother Johann Peter (Capt.

Dates from Cemetery Stones in Wis

Hebron, Wisconsin is still a small village in Jefferson county, although it was settled very early, the rail- roads passed it by. It is situated on a small water power site on the Bark river in the Rock River Valley, and turned furniture was made here, long before other manufacturing towns not far distant even had a log cabin. Near this town are three old cem- eteries, but the oldest, one mile west of the town is well maintained al- though no burials have been made here for years. The birth dates of people buried here are among the earliest in South Eastern Wisconsin. A list, taken from the stones, no written records being available, ap- pear below.
