Probate DE Archives, Voshell, William, 1822-1824
Copyright Ruth Stonesifer [Home] [Surname List]
William Voshell probate 1822-1824 lists Peter as exec. son James, son William ,son Levi, son Peter, Grandson James, Dau Susan Ward
Tom Voshell file states that he is believed to have arrived in DE abt 1725
First part of 18th century three Voshell brothers Daniel, James, and William left France and came to America. They chose Kent county DE as their home and took up land there. William went to Jones' Neck.
Ruth Estella Voshell's notes written in the early 1970 (dau of William Smith
Letter June 15,1970 probably to Rosalin Voshell author of the John Wesley Voshell "Green Book" Kansas and great niece.
"The Voshell family came to America with La Fayette at the time of the Revolutionary War. They were French men from Alsace Lorraine France and part of Menty, a pleasant part of the German Empire. These refuges were known as Huguenots or French Protestants went to the Netherlands down the Rhine and settled in Ulser County.
John Calvin, preacher of the Reformed Faith was driven from country at this time. Some came on account of religion and did not care to serve in the army.
Augustine and Peter came first to New York
Three brothers settled in West Dover.
William and James and Daniel.
William's children were six�" [she goes on to relate this line in detail]
"I went to Dover and looked up some of this record."
In another note unsigned, it appears to be written in the same handwriting. Random notes on the early Voshells:
"Landed on Eastern Shore of VA MD. Second descended from followers of Wm. Penn. Huguenot Naudaines-Bayards, Jaquetts and Greenwells from France-hones upon the Hudson to escape war.
Alsace part of Lorain-on the west and part of Menty pleasant part of German Empire. Reformed faith-John Calvin was driven from County went to Geneva. These refuges were called Huguenots, wandered down the Rhine and went to Netherlands. Huguenots settled in Ulster County.
Two Frenchman Augustine and Peter Voshell came to shores as in statement of Heads of Palaten Families. Augustine with two lads 9 & 15 old with one woman (5 persons) moved to West Camp- Came to Delaware. He had Penn. grant of 100 acres Oct 13, 1716. Three sons- Peter, Francis, Obadiah. Peter Voshell no Children Maria Anne. Catherina remained in West Camp. 1714 removed to PA June 26, 1717 from Proper Commissiones at Philadelphia warrant for 200 acres laid out in Kent Co. Del. Only 2 or 3 Huguenot families at this time family of Naudain.
Peter Voshell was influenced to come by his family and sold his land to Michael Lomber 1725-widow Susanna a second wife, 1711 Anna Catherina first wife, a wife of Johann Wooden. In west Dover 3 brothers settled. Names Daniel, James, and William Voshell. Augustine and Peter came to New York with Palatines 1700.
Three brother Obediah, Daniel, and James came over with Lafayette from France and settled in Kent County Delaware.
The Voshell Family Bible is in possession of Mrs. M. E. Voshell Smyrna, Del.
1793-1802 Feb 23 Jessie Smith Vane & Elizabeth Voshell
British Museum No. 1533 Vochell of North Marston.
Obadiah had the following:
John
Obediah
Joseph
Elizabeth (Jackson)
Mary (Thomson)"
Then an arrow in drawn from the first Obediah to a second :
"Obediah's wife Hannah" and three names listed under
"Nancy
James
Titus"
"2 James Voshell had the following:
Mary (Rash)
Obediah married Ruth Kersey [ it is more likely that this is not accurate. The Obediah linked to Ruth Kersey is Obediah
There is another arrow from the first John under the first Obediah down to:
"John was a Miller interested in peach culture and married Mary Todd." [This maybe just a researcher's connection at the Dover facility visited since the John who married Mary Todd Hubbard is a son of Daniel one of the 3 brothers]
Then there is a lists of first name and different variations of spelling Voshell.
