George Robinson and Elizabeth Pounder--Old Hartlepool, England

     George Robinson and Elizabeth Pounder are my paternal great great great grandparents who lived in Hartlepool, England.  My friend, Heather, once told me with the Pounder surname that I had "dyed in the wool" old resident of Hartlepool.  The Robinson surname also falls in that category.  In checking Durham County, Hartlepool records go back to the 1600's for the Pounders and the 1500's for the Robinsons.

     


     George Robinson, the son of Francis Robinson and Ann Rowntree was born on January 22, 1804 in Hartlepool, Durham County, England and was baptized at St Hilda's, Hartlepool,  on February 19, 1804.  

     Elizabeth Pounder, the daughter of James Pounder and Elizabeth Horsley, was born on November 23, 1805 in Hartlepool, Durham County, England and baptized on May 3, 1806 at St Hilda's Church, Hartlepool.  The Horsley surname is listed in Hartlepool records going back to the late 1500's.



     On May 14, 1826 twenty-two year old George Robinson, a bachelor and fisherman married twenty year old Elizabeth Pounder a spinster at St Hilda's Church, Hartlepool, England.  Both signed their name with and "X".  One of the witnesses was William Horsley, perhaps a grandfather or an uncle of Elizabeth's.

     It is important to remember that Hartlepool was a small, closely knit, fishing village before the industrial revolution of  the mid 1830's.  Fishermen used nets  and lines working from small boats.  They were at the will of the North Sea and weather.  

     My paternal great great great grandmother, Ann Robinson, was baptized on December 20, 1827 at St Hilda's Church, Hartlepool.  Her father is listed as a fisherman.  

  A second daughter, Mary Robinson, was baptized at St Hilda's Church October 3, 1830.

     There is a death record for an Elizabeth Pounder Robinson of Croft, born December 25, 1837 and died on January 21, 1939 in Hartlepool.  She is buried at St Hilda's Church Cemetery.  The death certificate lists Matthew Pounder and Elizabeth Pounder Robinson as her parents.  Was she born after George Robinson's death and he is the biological father or was she born out of wedlock to Matthew Pounder and Elizabeth Pounder Robinson Pounder?

BurialsHartlepool1836GeorgeRobinsonabt 1805Croft

     There is a death record for George Robinson dated February 9, 1836.  I do not know if he died at sea or of an illness.  I also do not know where he was buried.

of the Croft

     The Croft was an area in Old Hartlepool that was located near the Town Wall and The Sands.  An ideal location for fishermen to live.

     I was somewhat mystified to find a fifty-five year old Elizabeth Pounder listed in her daughter, Ann Robinson Storey's, 1861 census.  Pounder was her maiden name, not her married name.  More research found unmarried, fifteen year old Ann Robinson enumerated with Matthew and Elizabeth Pounder on the 1841 census.

     It appears that Elizabeth Pounder Robinson married a cousin, Matthew Pounder in Hartlepool, during the year 1838.  From Ancestry files, it appears that Matthew Pounder was born on December 20, 1809 in Hartlepool the son of Thomas Pounder and Jane Shepard.

Edward Storey and Lucy Metcalfe--Old Hartlepool, England


     This summer I am trying to pull together my genealogy information for my Old Hartlepool, England ancestors.  Back in the summer of 2003, my brothers and I, made a memorable trip to Hartlepool.  Having posted information on a genealogy site, I was very fortunate to meet a woman genealogist who was a major contributor to the documents I have.  She also connected me with Hughes family cousins who lived in Hartlepool and we spent several enjoyable and information days together.  The woman genealogist, Heather 💖, and I are still friends twenty-two years later and keep in touch by email. 

     Edward Storey (Story) and Lucy Metcalfe are my paternal great great great great grandparents.  Both were born in Thirsk, Yorkshire, England.  


     Edward, the son of Thomas Storey and Jane Ramshaw was probably born in December, 1803.  There is a baptism record for him dated December 19, 1803.

     To date I have not found a birth or baptism record for Lucy Metcalfe.  Her parents are also unknown.  From the census records, Lucy was born 1802-1803 in Thirsk, Yorkshire, England.


     Edward Storey and Lucy Metcalfe, both in their early twenties, married on October 3, 1824 at the Parish Church, Thirsk, Yorkshire, England.

Thirsk Market Place
Painting dated earlier than 1857
From the Thirsk Tourist website

     Thirsk was known for its good grazing pastures and center for sheep, cattle and horses.  The Market Place was the central gathering place for commerce.

     One of the first records, dated January 23, 1825, is the baptism record of Edward and Lucy's firstborn and my paternal great great great grandfather, John Storey.  This is the only record I have found from 1825 until the family removed to Old Hartlepool, England.  Edward was employed as a weaver in Thirsk perhaps weaving wool from the shirred sheep.

     While living in Thirsk, the Storey family grew by two additional children; Elizabeth Storey born about 1830 and Thomas Storey born about 1831.  


     Sometime between 1831 and 1836 the Storey Family removed to The Headland, Old Hartlepool, England.  At that time there was just Hartlepool.  Several decades later the original Hartlepool was called Old Hartlepool since a new area was developed and was named West Hartlepool.  Today all areas are called Hartlepool, although many still do refer to "Old Hartlepool" as The Headland.

     
Edward Storey death record

      I am certain there may have been other children born to Edward and Lucy between 1831 and 1837.  There is a record of a son, Edward Storey born in 1833 and died in Hartlepool in 1834, that could be their son. 

     A son, Edward Storey, born about 1837 is listed on the 1841 England census as having been born in Durham County, England; however I have not found a birth or baptism record for him.

Thos Story, age 13, not born in Durham County
Edward Story, age 3, born in same county
Ann Metcalfe, age 20, not born in Durham County

     Edward has changed his occupation to fish monger.  Fishing was a primary occupation in Hartlepool in the early to mid 1800's.  Edward, as a fishmonger, was the person who cleaned, prepared and sold the fish.  My paternal great great great grandfather, John Storey, was a blacksmith apprentice.  

     Chapel Street was one street back from the Hartlepool Wall.  It would be a short distance for Edward to pick up the fish he was planning to sell each day.

     Ann Metcalfe is probably Lucy's younger sister.  I have not been able to trace the Metcalfe family using online resources.

     Edward Storey, Chapel Street, was buried in 1858 at age fifty-eight.  I have not paid for a death certificate.  I do not have a record of his actual date of death, what he died from and where he was buried.

     Lucy, at age sixty-one, has taken over the family business of fish monger.  Her son, William is employed as a pilots assistant a job that assisted the ship pilots to safely sail ships in and out of the port of Hartlepool.  Youngest son, James followed in his Uncle John's footsteps becoming a blacksmith.  Perhaps he was apprenticed to his Uncle.

     There is this death record for "a" Lucy Storey.  She died in Hartlepool at age sixty-eight using the birth year from this record.  The birth town is in Durham County, not Thirsk and her birth year is later than census accounts.  I have seen another death record on Ancestry in 1874 with Lucy dying at age sixty-eight in Stockton, also located in Durham County.  

     I have not done any further research of the living adult children of Edward and Lucy except for my connection, John Storey.  Additional work has to be done.

A Storey Story--John Storey and Ann Robinson

The Heugh Lighthouse
The Headland
Hartlepool, England

     I recently noticed that I have nothing current written about my paternal great great great grandparents, John Storey and Ann Robinson of Hartlepool, England.  New documents are now available on line and through Ancestry giving me the knowledge to try to begin completing their story.  I have also seen several family charts on Ancestry that have been helpful.   

     

Church of Saint Mary's
Thirsk, England

     John, the son of Edward Story and Lucy Metcalfe, was baptized on January 23, 1825 in the Thirsk Parish Church, County of York, England.  This record lists Story as the spelling of the surname. Edward's occupation at this time was a weaver.  

     The family continued to grow with the birth of another son, Thomas, in 1827 and daughter, Elizabeth in 1830.  Both born in Thirsk.  The next child, William, was born in 1838 in Hartlepool, Durham County, England.

1857 Ordinance Map showing the location of Chapel Street

     On the 1841 England census, the Story Family is enumerated on Chapel Street, on the Headland, Hartlepool, Durham County, England. 

Edward Story, male, age 40, fishmonger, not born in Durham County.

Lucy Story, female, age 40, not born in Durham County

John Story, male, age 15, blacksmith apprentice, not born in Durham County.

Elizabeth Story, female, age 11, not born in Durham County.

Thos Story, male, age 13, not born in Durham County.

Edward Story, male, age 3, born in Durham County.

Ann Metcalf, female, age 2, not born in Durham County.--relation of Ann Story?


     On September 30, 1849, twenty-four year old John Storey married twenty-two year old Ann Robinson in Saint Hilda's Church on The Headland, Hartlepool.  John is now employed as a blacksmith and is literate, writing his name and this is the first time I have seen it spelled Storey.  Both father's of the newly married couple are fishermen.


     Ann Robinson, daughter of George Robinson and Elizabeth Pounder was baptized on December 30, 1827.  George Robinson's occupation was a fisherman.  I remember decades ago, when my UK friend emailed me information about this branch and mentioning that "dyed in the wool" Hartlepudlians were part of my lineage. 💖

Robert Hill and Rebecca Caldwell of Monongalia County, (Wet) Virginia


     Robert Hill and Rebecca Caldwell Hill are my paternal great great great great grandparents.  I wrote a biography and posted it on my outdated genealogy website years ago and it was copied from a GeoCities genealogy page I wrote even earlier.  I have copied and pasted it to by blog with added information.

     Robert Hill, son of William Hill and Elizabeth Johnson, was born in King William County, Virginia on February 5, 1758. 



     Robert served in the Continental Line for Virginia during the Revolutionary War. Virginia military records indicate that he was drafted on February 28, 1778 as a private in Captain Benjamin Casey’s Company, the 12th Virginia Regiment commanded by Colonel James Wood. In June 1778 he was transferred to Captain Michael Boyer’s Company in the 4th, 8th and 12th Virginia Regiments. Finally, about October, 1778, Robert was transferred to Captain Benjamin Casey’s 8th Virginia Regiment commanded by Colonel James Wood and was discharged on February 16, 1779.

     Following his service, Robert and his brother, William removed to Frederick County, Virginia. There on June 7, 1787 he married Rebecca Caldwell, daughter of John and Mary Caldwell, born on June 7, 1765 in Charlotte County, Virginia. 

     The Hill family removed to Monongalia County, (West) Virginia and made their home on a large tract of land, called Hill Farm, located one mile north of Morgantown along the Chestnut Ridge Road. All, or a portion, of the land was given to Robert Hill for his service during the American Revolution.

     Due to the fact that Robert Hill is a common name, it becomes difficult to determine which early Monongalia County records belong to our ancestor. In James Moreland’s book, The First Presbyterian Church of Morgantown, West Virginia,” the author discussed the early origins of the church and lists Robert Hill as one of the first elders dating back to 1788. Samuel T. Wiley, in his book, “History of Monongalia County, West Virginia,” lists on page 529 that Robert Hill was a ruling elder of the Presbyterian Church in Morgantown in 1790 and that later, his son, George D. Hill became a ruling elder.

     By 1800, our ancestor was the only Robert Hill in Monongalia County which makes searching for his records somewhat less complicated. He is listed in numerous early personal property tax records in the county from 1801-1805 and had a census enumeration for 1810 and 1820. 

     Robert Hill’s farm, Hill Farm, was located on the road from Morgantown to Uniontown, Pennsylvania and it is mentioned in a number of early court documents. 

     At the June 1800 court Robert Hill was asked to work on a road “from Morgantown by Robert Hill’s into the Uniontown Road.” The surveyor on this road project was Jacob VanGilder. Little did the two men know that on June 14, 1853 descendants from their two families would marry. In 1806 Robert was appointed by the court to survey a road outside of Morgantown and presented a bill to the court for $8.25 for a team, cart and two indexes one at the end of each road leading from Morgantown to Beeson Town on June 1807. This bill was paid out of the county levy of 1807.

     Robert Hill died, at age sixty two, in Monongalia County, (West) Virginia on January 15, 1822. There is a court record of his personal inventory dated February 7, 1822 and another dated March 1, 1822. 

     Rebecca continued to live on the farm until her death, at age seventy eight, on October 20, 1843. 

     
     Rebecca Hill's will was filed on September 29, 1832 and probated during the November, 1843 term. In her will, Rebecca named her youngest child, Robert Johnson Hill as executor and bequeathed the whole of her estate to him as her other children had already received their portion from their father’s will or it was given to them during her lifetime. The will goes on to state that all of her children, except Robert Johnson Hill are married.

     Robert and Rebecca were originally buried in a family plot in Morgantown, but were removed in the Spring of 1928 to Mount Union Cemetery, north of town. Both tombstones are in good condition. 


     The inscription on Robert Hills tombstone reads:

“Here lies the body of Robert Hill

Who departed this life Jan 15, 1822

Age 62.

Hark upon the tombs a doleful sound

My ears attend the cry

The living may come view the ground

Where they must shortly lie.”  


     The inscription reads:

Rebecca Hill. Wife 
of Robert Hill.  Was bo
rn June 7th AD 1765 depa-
rted this life Oct 20
1843 Aged 78 years

     On June 6, 1971 the DAR met at Mount Union Cemetery and dedicated a marker for Robert Hill, a Revolutionary soldier.
