Bradley / Richardson Family Tree, Owner: arlebee, Jacob Brookover, Skinner/Schinzel-Ahlemeyer/Haines Tree J_Ahlemeyer. Record for Jacob Brookover cf. Notes from The Biographical & Historical Memoirs Of Muskingum County OH pages 398-399 The Muskingum Valley is one of the most fertile agricultural regions of the state of Ohio, and in Salt Creek Township, near this locality, Milton Clay Brookover is the owner of 136 acres, which he tills in a careful manner, and is also engaged in the buying and selling of stock. He is of German decent and traces his ancestry back to JACOB BROOKOVER, who was born in Germany on the 29th of February 1738, near the Rhine River. At quite an early age he left Germany, with the rest of his fathers family to come to this country, and after a long journey of seventeen weeks (all of his family but himself having died on the voyage), he landed on the American shores. _____________________________________ The ship on which he sailed was manned by a desperate crew, who attempted to starve the passengers to death, and were only prevented from doing so by the threats of the passengers to throw the captain of the vessel overboard unless he reached land in time. Jacob Brookover learned the tailor trade in Maryland; afterward married, and raised a family of eight children. Three of his sons served in the Revolutionary War, one being in the regular army. After the close of the war he moved to Virginia and afterward, to Ohio where he died at the age of eighty-nine years. Richard Brookover his son, and father of Milton Clay Brookover was born in Fredericksburg, MD, Oct 26, 1771, was a farmer and carpenter by occupation................. ______________________________________ Headstone in memory of Jacob BROOKOVER and his wife MARY, parents of eight children. Jacob, born February 28, 1738, in the Rhine Valley, migrated to America. He met MARY on board ship. They married ca. 1760 and made their home in Maryland. Later they settled in Middletown, Virginia, where Jacob was a tailor. Some year after MARY's death, Jacob movd to Muskingum County to live with his son Richard on a farm near this cemetery. Jacob died in 1827. Dedicated by their descendants, August 14, 1994 home: Jacob Brookover, on March 17, 1767 bought 114 acres called "Fatt Oxen" in Frederick Co, Md. [-Photo in attached .pdf] Photo credit: Jack L. Finglass, Winter, 1976 Property name: Fat Oxen Location: Urbana Pike (MD 355), Frederick, Frederick County Description: Fat Oxen is unpretentious, yet elegantly refined. Constructed of Flemish bond brick and facing southwest, the house rises from a knoll 1 1/2 stories over a high rough stone foundation. The kitchen wing is attached to the southeast elevation and is also 1 1/2 stories in height, although shorter. Both the main block and subsidiary wing are unusually deep for a house of this scale. The roof rises at a very gradual pitch. Fat Oxen dates from the third quarter of the 18th century and is basically Georgian vernacular in style. The house has two double parlors with a partially open center hall and is five bays wide and two bays deep. The wing is two bays wide and two bays deep. A high wooden mid-19th century porch with railings shaded the two doors on the facade until it was removed in 1976. The doorway in the third bay is original. The subsidiary door in the fourth bay appears to have been added at a later date. Perhaps this doorway was a window at one time. This change would greatly enhance the stylistic refinement. Both doors have two-light transoms. Two gable-roofed dormers with round-arched 6/6 sash windows pierce the roof on the southwest facade. A basement bulkhead entrance is located at the northwest corner of the structure. Most window sash are 6/6. Central enclosed chimneys are found at either end of the house and an extremely wide stone chimney originally covered the southeast elevation. A more modern brick stack now rises through the southwest side of the roof at the gable end. The rear elevation has been greatly altered throughout the life history of the structure. However, the original 18th century door frame and 9/9 sash remain. The interior of Fat Oxen exhibits many alterations, and woodwork from every period can be found. However, much of this woodwork is of great merit, including beaded chair rails, baseboards, flat paneled shutters in the window reveals, and interior doors. Each of the four main rooms in the main block have back-to-back interior corner fireplaces. The mantels are rare due to the fact that the raised paneled over-face design continues down only one side of the fireplace opening. This design alternates from the left to the right side of the opening, depending on which direction the opening faces. The chimneys are rare in that they are asymmetrically placed along the roof ridgeline. This arrangement is most evident at the basement level. Only one brick hearth remains visible. The period stairway exhibits heavy molded handrails and simple rectangular balusters. A heavy chair rail runs across the stair landing and continues to the second floor level. The basement area is perhaps one of the few intact period cellars in the area. A finished wooden stair descends from under the main stair to the dirt floor. Original plank partitions and sorting bins are extant in the southeast half of the basement. Significance: Fat Oxen is significant to Frederick County not only as the residence of many who were influential in the development of the county, but also as a good example of a mid-18th century English farmhouse built in an area largely settled by Germans in the mid 18th century and where the vast majority of surviving structures are of German character.
