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.

      This information was gathered from a two-sided paper (8.5 X 14 inches)
      written by W.G. Mollenauer called 'Pennsylvania Mollenauers since1847.'
      Ruth Hurlbert gave it to me.
      It is generally believed that Henry E, Mollenauer and his wife Sophia
      (Kaufman) Mollenauer were born in Wittenberg in the Stuttgard area of
      Germany abput the year 1800....I the spring of 1847 , Henry E.Mollenauer
      with his wife Sopia (Kaufman) Mollenauer and their three children,
      migrated from Hanover, Germany, and arrived in the united states
      seaport at Baltimore, Maryland. from this seaport they came west in a
      Conestoga Wagan as far as Six Mile Ferry near Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania,
      where they lived with other german families that had migrated earlier
      from Germany and had settled there. While living there he was
      employeed by a coal mining company.
      After a short stay there, he with his wife and family made a trip tothe
      westas far as the state of iowa. Th purpose of that trip is not
      definitely known...it couolld be possible that Herny E. Mollenauerwith his
      family, made that trip to the west to visit and possibily settle therwith
      other Mollenauers, a brother or a cousin who migrated earlier fro
      Germany and had settled In Iowa.
      The tradedy of that visit was the fact that Henry E. Mollenauerbecamne
      suddenly ill and died and was buried somewher in the state of Iowa.His
      wife Sophia and the three children...return to six MileFerry....Sophia lies
      buried in the Saint Paul's Cemetery in Mt. Oliver, a suburb ofPitsburgh.
      Mollenauer, Mollenhour, Mollenhauer, Moldenhauer and Molenaar seem to
      be related.
