Everyone, thanks for all the information – I have been researching”all” Schoolings since I was in high school but some of my Schooling information comes also from other Schooling “cousin” descendants –

Joseph Schooling actually lived in Bullit County Kentucky and served in War of 1812, later serving as Constable and/or Captain – then in Jefferson County Kentucky from which he left about 1823 (not 1810s as previously stated above – should not rely on my failing memory, ha!!) and moved to Parke County, Indiana where he was commissioned as Justice of the Peace January 14, 1824, then JP for Vermillion County in 1824 and again in 1828, resigning in 1834 – Vermillion being formed from Parke in 1824 and he lived in or near Newport, Helt Township, Vermillion County. Later he served in the House of Representatives from 1834 to 1835 from Vermillion Co Indiana- his first wife, Mary Fraim dying there May 20, 1829. Then he married Margaret Wilson there on December 7, 1831 and later he went to Southwest Missouri in 1840 when it was Barry County, from which Lawrence County Missouri was formed in 1845 and at that time he was appointed the first presiding Judge of the county; and continued as Associate Judge from 1846 until his death December 15, 1850.

Dan Akin – I reread the letter Joseph Schooling wrote May 17, 1850 to his beloved half-niece, Martha Dickerson, daughter of John H. Schooling, and in his letter Joseph Schooling actually mentions that he was not in the habit of writing his relations unless first receiving correspondence from them, the reason being he was born 2 or 3 years too soon and for that reason “I have on the background and for fear of being thought troublesome – I have not in that respect probably done my duty.” He also mentions in the letter (Rev.) Robert Schooling, her uncle and his half-brother, who had written to Joseph Schooling that he had visited Martha’s mother ( Jane McKitrick Schooling ) in Washington County Kentucky two years ago, and that her mother (Jane) had sent by Robert money back to Joseph Schooling that she (Jane) had borrowed, and that Robert had tried to come to see Joseph Schooling as late as February 1850, but had to return home after traveling 40 miles when his horse became lame — Joseph Schooling remarked in the letter that it was good enough that her mother had sent the money, and he was satisfied she had sent the money and whether or not he ever receives it (from Robert Schooling), he considered the money no longer owed. Thanks again everyone, Randy

Randy, I’m interested in what you said about Mohawk Chief Caniachkoo in one of your posts. (“AND the other being a Mohawk Indian Chief, Caniachkoo , Sachem of the Third Castle, of the Turtle Clan, near Albany New York, whose unnamed daughter married my Dutch ancestor, Peter Adrianensen Van Woggelum, whose daughter Tryntje married in 1661 to Jan Mangels ( Roll ) who eventually received Indian land in Albany Co., New York by a Canastagione Deed dated March 4, 17 1681/2 written in Dutch whereby land was transferred by three Sachem — Rhode, Saddiaquisak and Todarasse, the latter being a grandson of Chief Caniachkoo — apparently the deed being conveyed because Jan had married the granddaughter of Caniachkoo.”)

Jan Mangels Roll and Tryntje van Woggelum are my 9th great grandparents. Their granddaughter Jannetje Mangels Roll (dau of Pieter Roll and Janetje Du Chesne) married George Personett sometime before 1731, and my grandmother’s maiden name was Personette.

I’d love to know how you descend from Caniachkoo and if you’ve discovered any new info on him! Hope to hear from you soon.
