Our Roots

Our family history consists of many different branches that make up our roots. In my quest I have contacted and met many new cousins from various branches.

Our family names include: Clark, Miller, Hanson, Mendenhall, Mildenhall, Porter, Romberger (various spellings), Maris, Dixon, Palmer, Rataj, Matter, Motter, Dixon, Kreider, Stroude, Arnick, Walker, Burch, Carlin, Hurl (Hural), and the list goes on.

I am attempting to do a blog a day on different Family members. I will not be doing in any particular order but will make them as complete as possible.

As I add more I will try to add a link for parents, siblings, spouse and children to the bottom of that blog.

Who knows you may be related.

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.
