Mlive.com 6/3/2020-
DAVISON, MI - A 17-year-old hit and killed early Sunday morning by a train in Davison has been identified.
A preliminary investigation by law enforcement officials has revealed Gage Elkins was near the railroad tracks when a westbound CN train hit him as he attempted to cross the tracks near Main Street.
Officers with the Davison, Davison Township and Richfield Township police departments as well as the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office responded shortly after 4:15 a.m. May 31 for a 911 call of a personal injury accident involving a pedestrian who’d been hit by a train.
Elkins was transported to Hurley Medical Center in Flint. He was later pronounced deceased at the hospital.
Davison police Chief Don Harris said Elkins was headed home with a 15-year-old friend.
The pair had been at another friend’s home in Davison before they left.
Harris called it a “tragic, tragic accident.”
He noted it is difficult for people to judge the speed of trains, especially at night with no clear reference points.
“This was a big freight train, speeds were around 40, 45 mph,” said Harris “The train blew all its appropriate air horns at the certain locations it was supposed to.”
An obituary <https://www.allenfuneralhomeinc.com/obituary/gage-elkins> for Elkins said the teen “loved spending time with his cousins and his family.” “Gage enjoyed playing basketball with his father, best friend David, and brother Vann,” per the obituary. “He was an amazing person that will be missed by all who knew him and loved him.”

Multiple railroad crossings were closed for more than one hour to allow for the preliminary investigation.
CN Railroad Police also responded and assisted at the scene.

Wife: Anna Elisabeth died enroute

Children: Johann Peter 17, Maria Katharina 15
Step sons: Jakob 12, Philipp 9
Stepdaughter: Elisabeth 15

Two children apparently did not survive the transport to Kukkus. And 3 stepchildren were added. Perhaps his wife also died and he remarried another Anna.

Name Konrad Herbel, from Bechlingen, Braunfels appears in Solms-Braunfels Archives asking to be allowed to leave for Volga Russia in 1766.

Stumpp has Konrad Herbel from Bechlingen/Wetzlar, Hesse.

Herpel, Johann Konrad (I9371)

2 weeks old on 1767 census.

Description: Kukkus birth records include the following:
#31, 32. Twins Cath. Magd. [Catharina Magdalena] and Maria Charl. [Charlotta] Beker [Becker], born 13, baptized 20 November 1799.
Parents: Conrad Beker and Catharina Haase from the village Volskoye.
Godparents and witnesses: Joh. Horch, Magd. Beker, Thom. Heizenroeder, M. Charl. Fuchs.

HH 43 in 1798 - these are the parents
HH 42 contains Maria Charlotta Fuchs, a sponsor
HH 30 contains Thomas Hei..., another sponsor, married to Anna Margaretha Becker (my ancestors)
HH 31 has a Becker wife named Magdalena that I suspect is another sponsor

These sponsors might suggest that Maria Charlotta (Becker) Fuchs, Anna Margaretha (Becker) Hei..., and Wilhelm Becker were siblings of Johann Conrad Becker. We know from the 1811 Kukkus census HH43 that Konrad and Wilhelm were brothers. Most likely Anna Margaetha was the child on the 1767 1st settler list.

HH 24 in Stahl am Tarlyk has a Johannes Horch, but I don't see how he'd be connected. I suspect it must be some other Horch that perhaps had a Becker wife.

Becker, Anna Margareta (I3437)

Also, FindAGrave has a specific birth date on son James in Dutchess County 20 Aug 1793 and on son Cornelius in Junius 16 Oct 1795. I have no confirmation of either place or either date.
We do have a Quaker document which states brother Samuel was born in Esopus, Ulster County, NY in 1797.

In the 1800 Federal Census we find John Mills in New Paltz. The census has his age between 26 and 45, which fits with an age of approximate 30. The census show 4 males and zero females under the age of 10. We show 3 males and 0 females within that age range. (the number 4 in the males box is indistinct and could conceivably be a one. By comparing it with other 4’s on the page, I believe it to be a 4). There is 1 other Mills in Ulster County on the 1800 census, that is James Mills (incorrectly indexed on ancestry as James Miler) who is in Rochester. His age is over 45.

From the Marlborough Monthly Meeting: 24 Oct 1810 John Mills and wife Abigail of New Paltz, NY requested certificate of removal to the Adolphus Monthly meeting in Upper Canada.
From the Adolphus Monthly Meeting of women: 21 Mar 1811 The certificate from the Marlborough Meeting for Abigail Mills is accepted.
From the Adolphus Monthly Meeting of women:18 Jan 1816. Abigail Mills and her husband John requested a certificate of removal to the Junious (NY) Monthly meeting
From the Norwich (Hicksite) Meeting of women: 22 May 1820 Abigail Mills, wife of John Mills has her certificate of removal from the Junius (NY) Monthly Meeting accepted by the Norwich (Canada) Meeting.
From the Norwick Monthly Meeting of women: May 1830 Abigail Mill's name appears on a membership list.

"Ancestors and descendants of Jonathan Abell" by Horace Abell pub 1933 gives Isabelle Keller as the wife of the immigrant Thomas Morehouse.
Per "ANCESTRY AND DESCENDANTS OF GERSHOM MOREHOUSE JR., OF REDDING, CONNECTICUT, A CAPTAIN IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION" Isabel may have been a 2nd wife and not the mother of the children.

<http://family.phelpsinc.com/phelpsfam/d0012/f0000027.html> <http://family.phelpsinc.com/phelpsfam/d0012/f0000027.html>Maj. Gen. Noah Phelps <http://family.phelpsinc.com/phelpsfam/d0012/f0000027.html>(1) (born January 22, 1740, descended from the immigrant William Phelps) settled in Simsbury, Connecticut., where he was an active and influential man. He was a Yale graduate, a justice of the Peace, judge of Probate for twenty years, and was a Delegate to the Convention of 1787 to ratify the Federal Constitution. Early in the breaking out of the Revolutionary War he was chosen as a member of "Committee of War for the expedition against Ticonderoga and Crown Point."
The committee considered the advisability of taking Fort Ticonderoga, then occupied by the British, and in which there was stored a large amount of heavy artillery and other war implements. Capt. Phelps, Barnard Romance, Ephraim Buell, and Capt. Edward Mott, with others, composed this committee, Capt. Mott acting as chairman. £300 was raised from the Public Treasury though guaranteed by several patriotic gentlemen. This fund was placed in the hands of Capt. Phelps and Barnard Romance, with the request that they should go north and press forward this project. This resulted in the great and bloodless victory - the taking of Fort Ticonderoga.
It may be interesting to his descendants to know the part Capt. Phelps acted as a spy. At the southern part of Lake Champlain, Capt. Phelps was sent out to reconnoiter. He stopped over night at a farm house some little distance from Fort Ticonderoga. Some British soldiers occupied rooms adjoining Capt. Phelps, where they were having a dinner party. Capt. Phelps heard them discuss the condition of the fort, and the position taken by the rebels, as they styled the people. Early the next morning Capt. Phelps visited the fort disguised as a peddler.
"Pretending that his object was to get shaved, he avoided suspicion, and had an opportunity to ascertain the construction, strength, and force of the garrison. And he had the good fortune to elude detection, though as it afterwards appeared, his presence had began [sic] to excite mistrust before he left the garrison."
While returning through the fort, the commander accompanied him talking with him about the rebels, their object and movements. Capt. Phelps seeing a portion of the wall in a dilapidated condition, remarked that it would afford a feeble defence against the rebels, if they should attack in that quarter. The commander replied, " Yes, but that is not our greatest misfortune. All our powder is damaged, and before we can use it, we are obliged to dry and sift it."
The Phelps Homestead Erected by Captain Elisha Phelps in 1776, who with his brother, General Noah Phelps, and others, was actively engaged in the capture of Ft. Ticonderoga. After the death of Captain Phelps, this old homestead was purchased by his nephew, Colonel Noah Amherst Phelps. (1) It was operated by three sucessive generations of Phelps tavernkeepers as a tavern and inn from 1786 to 1849. The Simsbury Historical Society <../geo/simsbury.htm> now owns and operates the Phelps Tavern Museum and Homestead located on two-plus acres in the center of Simsbury, Connecticut.
Capt. Phelps soon after left the fort, employing a boatman to take him down the lake in a small boat. He entered the boat in full view and under the guns of the fort. He requested the boatman to exert himself and terminate the journey as soon as possible, The boatman then requested him to take an oar and assist, This the Capt. declined to do, being in full sight of the fort, by saying he was no boatman. After rounding a point that intercepted a view from the fort, the Capt. proposed taking an oar, which he did, and being a strong active man as well as a good oarsman, he excited the suspicion of the oarsman by his efficient work, who remarked with an oath, 'You have seen an oar before now, sir.' This excited the suspicion of the boatman at the time that he was not a good and loyal citizen, but fear of superior strength prevented an attempt to carry him back to the fort. This he confessed to Capt. Phelps after the surrender of the fort. Capt. Phelps returned safely to his command, reported the information he had gained [to General Ethan Allen], resulting in the great and glorious victory before referred to." (2)
About this time Mr. Phelps raised a company mostly at his own expense, and was appointed Captain. He served under Col. Ward, was at Fort Lee, joined Washington's army, and was at the battles of Trenton and Princeton. Later he acted as commissary, and after the war was chosen Maj. Gen. of Militia.
Noah Phelps was clearly a leader within the Simsbury community. He chaired the town meeting that passed the articles of confederation in January 1778, and in November of 1787, the meeting picked him and Daniel Humphrey Esq., as delegates for the Convention of the State of Connecticut, set to convene in Hartford in January and vote on whether or not to adopt the federal constitution. They were directed to oppose it, but "one of the delegates though voting as instructed by the town, took occasion to state that his personal convictions led him to favor the proposed constitution."(3) This might or might not have been Phelps. He held a variety of important positions, including Surveyor of lands in 1772 and 1783, Justice of the Peace for Hartford County in 1782, Judge of Probate in 1787, and Major-General of the Militia, 1796-1799.
He died in Simsbury 4 Nov., 1809, honored and respected. On his tombstone is inscribed: "A Patriot of 1776. To such we are indebted for our Independence."

*Note: Birth date of 22 Dec 1872 listed in obituary, baptism record states birth year as 1873. So I have merged the two to reflect the Baptism year as the baptism record is likely more accurate as it was closer to actual birth event.
