Name Notes: Mildenhall, Mynol, Mendenhall there are various spelling as the name evolved through the ages

". Thomas was reported to the authorities in 1662 and 1664 as a recusant, one refusing to take
communion in the Church of England. He is not listed in Quaker records as having been
imprisoned and therefore may have conformed as far as paying tithes to the Church, which was the
subject of Quaker passive resistance."1

Only "Five children of Thomas and Joane Stroud Mildenhall emigrated to the Pennsylvania Colony
in the years ca. 1682-1685,: John, Benjamin, Margery (Mendenhall) Martin, Mary who married
Nathaniel Newlin, and Moses. Moses returned to England ca. 1686 after only a few months in
Pennsylvania."2

 John, Benjamin, and Mary used the surname Mendenhall upon arrival in America. It is at this point
the surname for them changes to that spelling.

Jacob Sebastian Arnick 1859-1938

Jacob Sebastian Arnick

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  Second born son of Sebastian Arnick and his first wife Maria Antonia ‘Mary’.

Now Jacob was difficult to trace. In all my searching I kept coming back to Sebastian and Mary, however there was not a son named Jacob. Their son Sebastian had the same year of birth as Jacob. he showed in the 1860 and 1870 census but no records of a Sebastian Arnick after that and Jacob shows up on the 1880 but I could not find a Jacob prior to then. I was drawn back constantly to Sebastian and Mary as the parents of Jacob. I knew his middle initial was S  but not what that S stood for.  I went on my gut feeling that I had the correct parentage for Jacob.

Like his father before him he married three times.

1879 - Anna Walker   1859-1900

1908 - Suzan E Shultz 1887-1913

1916 - Violetta Nellis           -1917

And also like his father he had children with 2 of his wives Anna mother of 7 daughters who we descend through and Suzan the mother of Ruth who unfortunately died in infancy.

From what I have learned Jacob was a carpet-weaver then a driver/teamster. We descend through his second born daughter Frances.

His daughters with Anna: Harriet, Frances, Ella, Margaret, Rachel, Alma and Edith.

I recently met with Harriet's grandson Harris and his children. The information and pictures they shared confirmed all my findings.

Edna's notes 1990

Edna daughter of Harriet his first born started to do some research. The above confirms that the S is for Sebastian. I learned that Jacob means second son so his name at birth is actually Sebastian. I believe he may have been baptized at St Anns where his mother and siblings Johann and Hanna are buried. They also shared many family pictures and the picture of Jacobs father Sebastian that is on another blog.

This is Mark my "kissing cousin" we shared the chicken pox when we were young and we were always kissing as children. It is unknown who gave who the chicken pox. By far my favorite of my male cousins.

                              

I recall many family parties and picnics with Mark and how much fun he was to be with.

I have been able to find very little information. Sebastian pictured above is my 3rd Great Grandfather and he is a far as I have been able to trace our Arnick line to date.

We know he emigrated around 1854 from Bayern, Baveria. I assume with his first wife Maria Antonia, or they married after he arrived here but we have limited information. 

With Maria he had 4 children 3 sons and 1 daughter. Josesph, Sebastian (Jacob), Johann and Hanna. Johan and Hanna died in infancy.

He was a brakeman I assume for the railroad and then a watchman.

He married 3 times and we descend through his first wife Maria.

His second wife was Francesca and with her he had 4 sons and 1 daughter. William, Frank, Henry, Lawrence and Frances.

His 3rd wife was Helena Fritz, no children.
