	20230406GHLn- Larry's Post Larry Johnson FB/Potter-McKean Genealogy December 12, 2018 · Here's a bit of Dingman/Lyman early Potter County history: War of 1812 veteran Notes for John Dingman: John Dingman and his wife Hannah Turner Dingman, Nathan Turner and his wife, with their respective families ,and Abram Dingman came to Potter County, Pennsylvania from Chenango County, New York in March of 1816. As they began to climb the Allegheny range from Pine Creek side, they encountered such heavy snow that the horses could not make the summit with their wagons. After a consultation, it was determined that Nathan Turner and his wife should remain with the wagons, and the rest of the party should take their three horses and endeavor to reach the settlement on the Allegheny river. Johns wife Hannah rode one of the horses, and the two nearly grown-up daughters riding boy fashion, started with the other horses. Under great fatigue, labor and anxiety, darkness came upon them, and the mountain was still rising before them, for fear of losing their way, there was no alternative left them but remain on the mountain-side in deep snow for the night. Fortunately, one of the party had an old Revolutionary musket, and after several attempts in firing powder into a dry tree, they were rejoiced by seeing a small spark of fire kindle. The men and boys gathered dry branches of fallen trees and made a large fire, and there by saved the entire party from freezing. The next morning, news reached the young settlement at Lymansville of the deplorable condition of John Dingman's party, and John Lyman and Jacob Vanatter at once started out with fresh teams and sleighs to hunt up the snow-bound pioneers. They were found and all brought to Major Lyman's, where they were most kindly cared for. These new comers built a small house, they remained there but a short time, and then went into possession of a farm in Roulette, were both families lived for many years. Soon after they were located, the father and mother of John Dingman came. Those early settlers, like most of the others, came with their own teams, and weeks were numbered making the trip. They followed the Hudson river down to Albany and thence came by the well known Catskill Pike, through Chenango and Courtland and Steuben counties, and finally landed in to the wild woods of Potter County, Pennsylvania.

N.Y. War of 1812 Occ: Farmer Comments Grace Titus A great piece of History! Reply4y Patricia Neilly Vella My great-grandparents ! I love this story !! Reply4y John C Wetzel My 4th grgrandparents, John and Hannah. Reply4y Tina Johnson Daughenbaugh Admin Ty for sharing this Cuz....???? Reply4y Cece Zerbst Sounds unbelievable! We surely have a lot to look up & learn about our relatives. I am enjoying seeing pictures of the past. Who knew! Thank you Larry, & all the others for sharing. Reply4y Londa Wilson Thank you for sharing. Very much enjoyed reading about the history of ancestors. Reply4y Londa Wilson Lainie Kephart Reply4y Ric Main Always enjoy these stories of how our ancestors arrived. There is much available about settlers coming to McKean and Potter at Cornell University with some of it online. To enlighten one to the degree of difficulty the trip for the Dingman's was, consider that many families chose and often failed, to do it in the summer using oxen to haul their belongings. Their two largest obstacles in getting to the McKean-Potter wilderness was described as being often too difficult for the beast to haul their goods through the dense forests and up steep hills. Their worst fear was not Indians but rather mountain lions stalking or lying in the limbs above waiting to attack the ox. The Dingman clan did this during the winter. Miraculous to say the least that they made it. Reply4y Grace Titus I have a treasure that came with those who came in abt 1832 following those ox carts, 3 generations of Maxsons afoot.......the future wife of that 9 yr old boy distracted a mountain lion who was stalking her sister until Samuel Barber (her father) shot it. They settled Main Settlement and Genesee. Reply4y Patricia Neilly Vella There is a family story (also mentioned in the Potter Co. History book) about my Brock g.g.grandparents, who arrived in 1840. They came with a wagon pulled by oxen, taking 6 weeks to come from Grafton NY. They built a cabin, which at first had no door, just a blanket nailed up over the opening. My g.grandma, Amy Ellsworth Brock, kept her chicken coops on the roof, and one night when the men were away hunting, she heard a noise, & thinking it was a raccoon after the chickens, took her broom to chase it away. But it was a huge mountain lion & she smacked it with the broom & it ran off ! Imagine her being there alone with several small children & no door on the cabin !(my g.grandma Mary was only 6 weeks old when they made the trip to Potter Co. !) Women sure were tough back then !! Reply4y Larry Johnson Author Patricia Neilly Vella Wow! Times were tough! Talk about STRESS! Reply4y Cece Zerbst Grace Titus Grace Titus as I've said before, you never cease to amaze me/us with your knowledge of your ancestors! Thanks for keeping us posted, dear friend. Reply4y Grace Titus Cece Zerbst I continue to be amazed...Genesee (now Little Genesee) was known as Little R I, but more and more I think Shinglehouse is close....in my SDB religious line-Crandall, my 6X GG mother was Ann LANGWORTHY, my 5X GGmother was Alice KENYON, BABCOCK since the 1600's, Roy Maxson Babcock was my fathers'1st cousin, Richard Maxson (my 8X) was massacred by the Indians with Ann Hutchinson (8X GG mother of another line) and she is also the ancestor of the Crooks family, BARBERS, CRANDALLS, BURDICKS......all tie back to the British Colony of R I Reply4yEdited Grace Titus Sorry RIC....forgot MAIN.......... Reply4y Patricia Nicastro-Giebel incredible how people survived those days . these are the stories that need told in schools. Reply4y Gina Mosko Interesting story. My ancestors from the Hudson Valley must have made a similar trip, though they landed in Livingston County, NY from there moved to Allegany County, NY by 1830. Henry Spees married to Sarah Ostrander, whose grandmother was a Dingman- I wonder if any relation. Reply4y Patricia Neilly Vella We're probably distant cousins ! The Dingmans & Ostranders inter-married back in the Hudson Valley ! I have a Pieter Ostrander (originally Van Oostrand!) married to my 6th-great aunt, Rachel Dingman in 1703 ! Reply4y Larry Johnson Author Pieter Ostrander (1680-1793) and Rachel Dingman (1680-1730). Rachel was from Kinderhook, NY, Rachel's father was Adam Dingman, who was from Haarlem, Netherlands. Found a picture of the Adam Dingman home. Adam was John Dingman's 3xgreat grandfather. No photo description available. Reply4y Gina Mosko Patricia Neilly Vella Yes that's her, hello cousin ???? My ancestor is the daughter of Isaac Ostrander, who fought for the British in the Revolution and ended up in Canada, though he inherited some of his parents' farmland in NY. Sarah "Polly" apparently came back to NY and met Heinrich Spies (Henry Spees) there. They eventually moved with a daughter to Waushara, WI where they died. Reply4y Gina Mosko Larry Johnson So that is a relative, then- yes Rachel Dingman was the one I was referring to. Reply4y Patricia Neilly Vella We've actually been tp that house (outside) & tool picturs ! Its pn yhe same road as President Martin VanBuren's home - he's distantly related to us too ! Reply4y Larry Johnson Author It is apparent, that so many Potter County folks and their descendants, wherever they went or are, are related! I find that just so cool! Reply4y Cece Zerbst Gina, I recall a Letha Spees from high school. Reply4y Gina Mosko Cece Zerbst She was my aunt. Sadly she passed. Reply4y Arthur Nelson Love the fact that an ancestor of mine Jacob Vannatter was mentioned in this post... Reply4y Dorthea Trayer These are mine. My parent are buried nearby Reply4y Elizabeth Trayer Konkle Dorthea Trayer , I know you saw this, but this is what we were just talking about. Reply1w Patrick Dingman I've seen his headstone many times on Crandall Hill cemetery in Hebron,along with the rest of my family. I'll be up there when the time comes. Reply6d Londa Wilson Patrick Dingman I'll be there when my time comes too Pat. Reply4d MaryLou Dingman Patrick Dingman I remember his headstone. Btw, I will be cremated with my ashes spread in 3 places: Crandall Hill, NC Coast , and Berlin. ???? Reply4d

SAMUEL ANDREW BARBER's Obituary
Posted 08 jul 2019 by Jon Gammell

At the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Frank Barber, in Barbertown, Pa., Oct. 19, 1888, after a brief illness, Mr. Andrew Barber, in the 86th year of his age. He had resided in the neighborhood where he died about fifty-six years. He had all the characteristics which make a successful pioneer, - a genial temper, sturdy physical powers, moral rectitude and sociability. He was respected by all who knew him. He professed faith in Christ in early life and was a member of the old Second Genesee Church, which was disorganized and gave place to the Portville Church.
About four years ago his companion, with whom he had lived a little over fifty years, died. He leaves descendants to the third generation who mourn their loss. Funeral services, held at the Portville church on Oct. 21st, were largely attended.

· Here's a bit of Dingman/Lyman early Potter County history: War of 1812 veteran

Notes for John Dingman:
John Dingman and his wife Hannah Turner Dingman, Nathan Turner and his wife, with their respective families ,and Abram Dingman came to Potter County, Pennsylvania from Chenango County, New York in March of 1816. As they began to climb the Allegheny range from Pine Creek side, they encountered such heavy snow that the horses could not make the summit with their wagons. After a consultation, it was determined that Nathan Turner and his wife should remain with the wagons, and the rest of the party should take their three horses and endeavor to reach the settlement on the Allegheny river. Johns wife Hannah rode one of the horses, and the two nearly grown-up daughters riding boy fashion, started with the other horses. Under great fatigue, labor and anxiety, darkness came upon them, and the mountain was still rising before them, for fear of losing their way, there was no alternative left them but remain on the mountain-side in deep snow for the night. Fortunately, one of the party had an old Revolutionary musket, and after several attempts in firing powder into a dry tree, they were rejoiced by seeing a small spark of fire kindle. The men and boys gathered dry branches of fallen trees and made a large fire, and there by saved the entire party from freezing. The next morning, news reached the young settlement at Lymansville of the deplorable condition of John Dingman's party, and John Lyman and Jacob Vanatter at once started out with fresh teams and sleighs to hunt up the snow-bound pioneers. They were found and all brought to Major Lyman's, where they were most kindly cared for. These new comers built a small house, they remained there but a short time, and then went into possession of a farm in Roulette, were both families lived for many years. Soon after they were located, the father and mother of John Dingman came. Those early settlers, like most of the others, came with their own teams, and weeks were numbered making the trip. They followed the Hudson river down to Albany and thence came by the well known Catskill Pike, through Chenango and Courtland and Steuben counties, and finally landed in to the wild woods of Potter County, Pennsylvania.

Always enjoy these stories of how our ancestors arrived. There is much available about settlers coming to McKean and Potter at Cornell University with some of it online. To enlighten one to the degree of difficulty the trip for the Dingman's was, consider that many families chose and often failed, to do it in the summer using oxen to haul their belongings. Their two largest obstacles in getting to the McKean-Potter wilderness was described as being often too difficult for the beast to haul their goods through the dense forests and up steep hills. Their worst fear was not Indians but rather mountain lions stalking or lying in the limbs above waiting to attack the ox. The Dingman clan did this during the winter. Miraculous to say the least that they made it.

I have a treasure that came with those who came in abt 1832 following those ox carts, 3 generations of Maxsons afoot.......the future wife of that 9 yr old boy distracted a mountain lion who was stalking her sister until Samuel Barber (her father) shot it. They settled Main Settlement and Genesee.

There is a family story (also mentioned in the Potter Co. History book) about my Brock g.g.grandparents, who arrived in 1840. They came with a wagon pulled by oxen, taking 6 weeks to come from Grafton NY. They built a cabin, which at first had no door, just a blanket nailed up over the opening. My g.grandma, Amy Ellsworth Brock, kept her chicken coops on the roof, and one night when the men were away hunting, she heard a noise, & thinking it was a raccoon after the chickens, took her broom to chase it away. But it was a huge mountain lion & she smacked it with the broom & it ran off ! Imagine her being there alone with several small children & no door on the cabin !(my g.grandma Mary was only 6 weeks old when they made the trip to Potter Co. !) Women sure were tough back then !!

Cece Zerbst I continue to be amazed...Genesee (now Little Genesee) was known as Little R I, but more and more I think Shinglehouse is close....in my SDB religious line-Crandall, my 6X GG mother was Ann LANGWORTHY, my 5X GGmother was Alice KENYON, BABCOCK since the 1600's, Roy Maxson Babcock was my fathers'1st cousin, Richard Maxson (my 8X) was massacred by the Indians with Ann Hutchinson (8X GG mother of another line) and she is also the ancestor of the Crooks family, BARBERS, CRANDALLS, BURDICKS......all tie back to the British Colony of R I

Interesting story. My ancestors from the Hudson Valley must have made a similar trip, though they landed in Livingston County, NY from there moved to Allegany County, NY by 1830. Henry Spees married to Sarah Ostrander, whose grandmother was a Dingman- I wonder if any relation.

Patricia Neilly Vella
We're probably distant cousins ! The Dingmans & Ostranders inter-married back in the Hudson Valley ! I have a Pieter Ostrander (originally Van Oostrand!) married to my 6th-great aunt, Rachel Dingman in 1703 !

Pieter Ostrander (1680-1793) and Rachel Dingman (1680-1730). Rachel was from Kinderhook, NY, Rachel's father was Adam Dingman, who was from Haarlem, Netherlands. Found a picture of the Adam Dingman home. Adam was John Dingman's 3xgreat grandfather.

Patricia Neilly Vella Yes that's her, hello cousin ???? My ancestor is the daughter of Isaac Ostrander, who fought for the British in the Revolution and ended up in Canada, though he inherited some of his parents' farmland in NY. Sarah "Polly" apparently came back to NY and met Heinrich Spies (Henry Spees) there. They eventually moved with a daughter to Waushara, WI where they died.
