Hillbillies & Vikings

This site is focused broadly on all descendants of John Denboe, an indentured servant who came to the Crown Colony of Maryland in about the year 1664. Also, it maintains a special emphasis on the descendants of John Denbow (1797-1862) and his brother Bazeleel (1795-1857), early pioneers in the hills of Southeastern Ohio, as well as the descendants of Jón Jónsson (1841-1934) of Dalasýsla, Iceland, who was an Icelandic immigrant to Canada and now has progeny throughout North America.

2151	There was a German church record which stated that Clemensen's son,Johan Jacobus, died 8 October 1726, age nine years and 4 months. In1726 there evidently was a plague in that area for many people diedevery day. It is the theory of Harry I. Dunkelberger that this mayhave been one of the main reasons why the Dunkelbergers chose to leaveGermany.	Dunkelberger, Johan Jacobus (I1673)
2152	They lived in an area called on some maps, New Iceland. The town of Gimli was sort of the capital of New Iceland. I do not know at this point whether they lived in Gimli, or out in the country in this area. I'm going to write to the local genealogical society there and see what I can find out. Gimli is about 55 miles northeast of Winnipeg.	Jónsson, Jón (I2611)

2181	This marriage apparently didn't last very long. When Roll died six years later in 1912 there is no mention in either obituary that I read of a wife as either predeceasing or surviving him.

2190	This was written by his son, Arne Validmar Brogger, on 5/12/2020: Seventy seven years ago today, my father landed in Oslo, Norway. It was two days after the German capitulation that marked the end of WWII in the European theater. He was greeted by 450K fully armed German troops, 1K Norwegian National troops and a couple dozen Brits. He was charged with establishing the US Army HQ, which he shortly housed in a “liberated” mansion near the palace of the soon to return King Haakon 7th. The Resistance members began to materialize soon after his arrival (the “boys in the mountains” that I heard so much about as a kid) with offers of liberated material (e.g. a black Mercedes with a white star they had painted on the door), etc. One of the first items he requisitioned from London was a case of Chesterfield cigarettes, which were considered a precious currency. I heard many stories from that time, and later met and stayed with one of the “boys in the mountains” and his family, when I was in Oslo in ‘66. His name was Arne Knutzon and he stayed with us briefly in ‘47 or ‘48. He was christened by my mother as The Other Arne, to differentiate him from my father (also Arne). During my ‘66 visit, he told stories of how he and compatriots, sighted in machine guns in Nordmyka, the forest above Oslo. “The Germans stayed away” he told me. “We knew the forest, they didn’t.” He went on, “It was heady stuff, walking around Oslo as a 19 year old with a .45 under your arm. A lot of the daring-do was done by us youngsters, we were bulletproof.” And 1945 Oslo. What a time that must have been.	Brøgger, Arne (I709)

2198	Tombstone in the old Prattsville Cemetery reads MARGARETT (all caps), Dau of T & M, Sharp, Died, June... stone broken here, Aged, 10years, 5 months,10 days. (According to the U.S. Census records thisage cannot be correct. The stone is hard to read, but I have beenthere twice to look at it and this appears to be what it says.) Birthand death dates given to me by Sherry Hunter Strickland in a letterdated 21 March 1995 from information contained in the family recordsof her Uncle Bill seem to confirm the above age at death. Censusrecords may have said Margaret when Martha was the child they meant?	Sharp, Margaret (I3855)
