Note: This was a test to see how easy it would be to create a page that links to other pages on this blog.  You could also find the seven pages yourself by using the Search box in the right hand sidebar or the Labels that appear at the bottom of each page.  Labels works better than Search in this case.

I thought this might be a nice way to prepare a summary page, making it easier for a reader to find things.

OBITUARY: Pioneer Northern Colorado Farmer Passes Away Unexpectedly Friday
Frank E. Wykert died at the home of his son, Robert Wykert, in Eaton, [CO], Friday evening, February 11, [1916], of acute Bright's disease and pneumonia. He had been ailing for several years, but the disease in its acute form lasted but a few days, in fact, he had only been confined to his bed since Thursday morning. Although well on in years he was full of energy, and had walked down town against the protests of his son and daughter almost to the last.

Mr. Wykert was born in West Virginia April 14, 1848. While still a child his family moved to Ohio and later to Iowa, settling near Wapello. There, in 1866 he married Miss Lorinda (sic) Hill. In 1881 the family came west and settled near Windsor, Colorado, where the last thirty-five years of his life were spent. Mrs. Wykert died in 1905. Three sons and two daughters survive the parents: Robert of Eaton; Theodore of Severance; Benjamin of Hereford, Colorado; Mrs. Ava Alkire of Fairplay, and Mrs. Harry Stiff of Stanton, Illinois.

When it was found that the father was seriously ill, Mrs. Stiff was summoned, but reached the home of her brother on the 9 o'clock train Friday evening, two hours after the father had passed on.

Mr. Wykert was a farmer, and there is only this to be said of his life: His children remember him as always under all circumstances a kind and affectionate father whose life interest was in his children, who loved his fellow-man and who had no enemy on earth. What more could be said or what richer heritage left behind? He died February 11, 1916. (Furnished by Joan Wykert Jukes)

General:

AKA: Frantz Weickart. He was called, Frank.

BIRTH: 2 Jun 1737, River Rhine, Germany, per Vernon Anderson

MARRIAGE:
In a July 1989 letter Betty W. King; 1161 Nogales Street; Lafayette, CA 94549 wrote: I found a marriage record for "Frantz Wiekert of Reading and Elisabetha Shaefer" on 13 Oct 1783 in a book "Berks Co., Pennsylvania Marriages 1730-1800," p. 54 The marriage was performed by Rev. William Boos. In checking the Lutheran and Reformed church records for Berks Co., I noted that Rev. Johann Wilhelm Boos of Reading was the pastor of the "Reformed Church of the so-called Schwartzwald." ... At Rev. Boos' church I found the baptismal records of Frantz Weichart, son of Frantz Weichart, bp. 6 Dec 1785 (no mother's name), sponsors: Frantz Meyer and Anna Maria Graf. Also the record for Lydia Weickart, daughter of Frantz Weickart, bp. 16 Aug 1793, sponsors: the parents (again no mother's name). Also, the bp. record for Samuel Freymeier, son of Eliazabetha Freymeier, bp. 18 Dec 1788, sponsors: Frantz Weickart and wife Elizabetha.

Betty King continues: I tried to get a death date for Francis Wykert in West Virginia. The appraisement on his estate was dated 16 Jun 1825, Nicholas Wykert administrator, so he probably died shortly before that date. The estate amounted to $270.66. Sales of his personal effects were reported to Reason Biddle, Nicholas and Francis Wykert and Loyd Biddle. The estate was not settled until 22 Mar 1828 and the settlement reported expenses, among others of $3.44 for the funeral and $5.50 for the coffin.

According to the 1888 biographical sketch of his son, Theodore Wykert, he emigrated from Germany about 1761, settling in Pennyslvania, where he was married and reared a family of nine children, all of whom grew to mature years. They also married, and with one exception all died in West Virginia, this one being Nicholas, who removed to Kansas and died there some years ago.

MARRIAGE: Francis Wickerd and Ann Yoho Marriage
Francis Wykert and Nancy Ann Yoho were married on 5 Jul 1810 at Belmont Co., OH, Book B, page 41. The entry actually reads, " March 21th 1811; Married Jas. Trible and Floraw Cree April the 25, 1811.; Married Henry Burton Rebecca Bushonan July 5th 1810.; Married Francis Wickerd and Ann Yoho they were Married according to Law by me; James Henthorn. Esqr."
(Marriage extract furnished by Joan Wykert Jukes)

[Note: Semicolons used here to separate each line of typed text as found on the copy obtained from the Belmont County, Ohio Probate Court on the 30th of March 1990 and certified by the Deputy Clerk. There was no marriage date on the line for the Wickerd and Yoho marriage. Reseachers are assuming that their marriage occurred on the same date as that of Burton and Bushonan, 5 Jul 1810

A Robinson and Mary (Davis) Ross were married on 11 Mar 1804 by Revolutionary War veteran, James Henthorn, Sr., who was a Justice of the Peace in the township of Salem - then Belmont county. James Henthorn, Sr., settled at the mouth of Sunfish Creek about the year 1798 or 1799. He was married to Elizabeth. His sons were John, Henry, Adam, William, and James, Jr. He had daughters Ann and Mary. Note by Richard E. Henthorn]

BIOGRAPHY: Biographical Sketch
Francis Wykert, son of Frantz and Elizabetha Shaefer Weickert, was born on 6 Dec 1785 in Reading, Berks County, Pennsylvania. He was baptized in the Reformed Church of the Schwarzwald by Rev. William Boos, in Berks County, PA. His family moved to Washington Co., PA and finally to Marshall Co. (W)VA.

Francis Wykert (aka Francis Wicherd) married Nancy Ann Yoho, daughter of Henry and Catherine Baker Yoho, 5 Jul 1810 in Belmont Co., OH (Book ?, page 41). Nancy Ann was born ca. 1790 in Marshall Co., (W)VA. Francis and Nancy Ann were the parents of eleven children. They owned land in Tyler County (W)VA from 1820 to 1831 (now Wetzel Co., WV).

The family moved to Burlington, Des Moines Co., IA in 1838, taking a boat at Wells Landing (Wellsburg, WV?) going down the river to Cincinnati and St. Louis and then up to Burlington.

They first settled in the wilderness where the only sounds were the howl of the wolf and whoop of the Indians. Francis Wykert purchased eighty acres in Burlington Twp. from the government. There he built an 18 x 20 log cabin. His thrift and industry bore fruits and two years later he was able to add to his real estate. This he sold at a profit.

In 1840 he purchased 200 acres in Louisa County, Iowa. This became one of the best farms in the country.

Nancy Wykert died in Louisa Co., IA in 1841. Francis Wykert died in Louisa Co., IA on 9 Dec 1845.

OCCUPATION: Henry Wykert Parsons was a farmer.

MARRIAGE: Henry W. Parsons, 22, born in Marshall Co., VA, s/o Jesse and Lydia Parsons and Elisabeth J. Yoho, 18, born in Marshall Co., VA, d/o Lewis and Ellen Yoho were married on 4 Nov 1858 at Marshall Co., VA by David Anguish. (Source: Marshall Co., WV, Marriage Book 2, p. 317 - furnished by T. Vernon Anderson) The marriage of this couple is recorded in both Marshall and Wetzel counties. Wetzel county had not yet been formed at the time of their marriage. It was formed shortly thereafter. At one time marriages were recorded in the OMR (Old Marriage Records) Books. Later they were recorded into Marriage Bk1 and the dates are not always the same when the two sources are compared. These discrepancies can show up in both Marshall and Wetzel county marriage records.

MARRIAGE: 4 Nov 1858, Marshall Co., (W)VA, Bk 2, pg 317

EMIGRATION: Between 1862/1874 the family relocated to Minnesota. Later they returned to Buffalo Creek, WV. They were back in Wetzel County, WV by the time of the 1870 census.
