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.

2167	This John Sherer's middle name may be Hartley.	Sherer, John Hartman (I3949)
2168	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. She seems quickly forgotten. I've now discovered that she lived until 1957, and is buried in different cemetery from Roll.	Family: Roll Halley / Jennie Skidmore (F1944)
2169	This marriage date, which differs by exactly one year from the one recorded in the Marriage License book for Harford County appears to be correct. I suspect a clerical error in the book.

2172	This note from Robert Barton makes no sense to me. How can you be the executor of your own will?

2176	This was the name of the valley where they emigrated from in Iceland. It was also further Anglicized as Hurdal.	Jónsson, Jón (I2611)
2177	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)

2185	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)

2189	Twin of George Washington DENBOW	Denbow, Jackson (I1189)
2190	Twin of Jackson. There seems to be some disagreement about the date of birth. The date used here is from the grave stone and the grave's record form from the Adjutant General's office. Signe's work and Thompson book both list 1842. The age in 1864 listed in the Ohio Roster is 27. This agrees with neither of the above and would place his birth in 1837, rather than the 1834 date that I assume to be correct.	Denbow, George Washington (I1154)

At the time of this census Sarah Jane was living in Tuscarawas County, Goshen Township along with her Mother, Julian Sharp Merryman, and her sister, Mary Ann Sharp Eberhardt.	Sharp, Sarahjane (I3880)
2194	Unnamed son of Wilelm Duncelnberg of Pighausen, who lived onlyone-half hour and died without baptism. This child's burial date of 20September 1682 would indicate that he may have been a twin ofClemensen who was baptized 16 September 1682.	Dunckelnberg (I1638)
