Alfred M. Baltzel was killed in the Battle of Lone Jack, Missouri on August 16, 1862. A good description of the battle of Lone Jack can be found at Shot All to Pieces - An Account of the Battle of Lone Jack

Mary Agnus' brother William B. Baltzell mustered into the 19th Iowa Infantry, Company A. on August 22, 1862, clearly in a act of devotion to his departed father.

Major D. Kent, commander of the 19th Iowa Volunteers, reported the battle of Prarie Grove, Arkansas in this communication (#33).

Unidentified Loucks and Stauffer Relatives

Ron — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 15:51:21 GMT

Do you recognize a relative in these photos?

They are likely relatives of Abraham S(tauffer) Loucks who built his house in 1889. The photos were found in Abraham's House and likely came to rest there when his brother Martin (Stauffer) Loucks died in the house across the street. Abraham and Martin were brothers (sons of Nancy Stauffer Loucks) and were related to the folks in the photos. Martin and brother John made the trip West and made the contact with the distant cousins, and consequently kept in touch.

Add a comment below if you have any information. Please refer to the photo numbers below each one.

Isaac Hull Stauffer - Stauffer Eshleman & Co. New Orleans

Ron — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 12:23:20 GMT

Intrigued by a paragraph in Stauffer Genealogy of America by Ezra N. Stauffer, I searched further for Isaac Stauffer, who Ezra claims to have been a millionaire cotton merchant.

I think that this Isaac Stauffer (1) is the father of Isaac (2) Hull Stauffer who owned Stauffer Eshleman & Co. in New Orleans. Now the search begins for his ancestry. An interesting document about Isaac's (1) daughter can be found at www.neworleansbar.org/documents/ENews06Nostalgia503LostAn.doc

A recent Google search using 3 "garden lane" stauffer new orleans revealed evidence that Isaac Stauffer once owned the mansion at 3 Garden Lane in New Orleans (Maestri, R.). This is located adjacent to the New Orleans Country Club.

I also found information that indicated actor John Goodman once owned the property.

I am still searching for photo evidence of any Hurricane Katrina damages to the property.

Google Maps Satellite images have good close ups of the area.

Hans Stauffer Account Books

Ron — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 01:27:58 GMT

I was browsing Genealogy.com and enetered into my Genealogy Library subscription. In Genealogies of Pennsylvania Families Volume III. (1982). Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., William T. Stauffer published Hans Stauffer's Account Books. A Study. If you have this subscription the link to this is http://www.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/ifa_image.cgi?SEC=Genealogies-20of-20Pennsylvania-20Families-20III-2C-20St-2DZ&IN=002170&PN=44&CD=163

The account books have a description of his emmigration from Weissenau to London from Nov. 5, 1709 to Jan. 26, 1710.

I have found this recounted at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ggracie/library/stover/hans.html

The book appears to have been left to his son Jacob, and then to Jacob's son John. Jacob appears to have entered family members and financial accountings. John appeared to have only recorded family members.

While searching the Internet for more information on another Stauffer relative, Wilfred Ludwig Stauffer, I ran accross information that indicates Wilfred Ludwig Stauffer, Sr. once had Hans' diary in his possession. For more details and other links about Wilfred Ludwig's family, see the forum post thread at http://stauffergenealogy.com/communityserver/forums/p/9/18.aspx#18
