Children of Jeremiah and Susannah (Bitner) Rockwell [PW 2074–75]:

  1. Sarah Rockwell, b. Canton, 31 March 1828; married there, 7 June 1850, in her father’s house, John W. Lentz, a miller, from Susquehanna Co., Penn. They lived at Canton, Muncy [Lycoming Co.], Pa., and Dahlonega [Wapello Co.], Iowa. She died at Dahlonega on 10 May 1863, and was buried there. He was living in Missouri, in June of 1876. Five children [PW 2410–12]:

    2. Anna Catharine Lentz, b. 4 June 1853 at Muncy, Pa.; living at Craig, Missouri, in June 1876
    3. Ella Lentz, b. at Muncy.
    4. Susan Emily Lentz, b. at Muncy.
    5. Lovina Lentz, b. at Muncy; died at Dahlonega, Wapello Co., Iowa, 24 April 1863, when about 2 years old.
    John W. Lentz is found in the 1870 census at Ottumwa, Wapello Co., Iowa. He was 51, a miller, and a native of Pennsylvania; his second wife was Mary A., 45, b. in Ohio, and daughters Marian, Ella, and Susan were in the household. I didn’t find him in the 1880 census.
  2. Daniel Rockwell, b. Canton, 12 July 1829; millwright and farmer. He married at Muncy, Pa., 22 June 1856, by Methodist minister Edmund H. Waring, to Jane Lucretia Manley, a physician. She was b. 21 March 1841 at Muncy, daughter of Dr. William and Rhoda (Lambert) Manley. They lived at Cameron, Pa., in June 1876, but the births of their children points to a brief move to Missouri and a temporary settlement at First Fork [Cameron Co.], Pennsylvania. Five children [PW 2411]:
    1. Susanna Eveline Missouri Rockwell, b. 21 August 1857 in St. Louis, Mo., “at the corner of Seventh and Market Streets.”
    2. Ida Artemisia Rockwell, b.26 Dec. 1859 at First Fork, Pa.; died there 20 January 1860.
    3. Ada Rockwell, b. 21 Sept. 1860 at First Fork; died the same day.
    4. William Rockwell, b. 27 Feb. 1862 at First Fork; died the next day. 5. Mitchell Macaulay Rockwell, b. 8 April 1863 at First Fork, Pa.
    5. Harvey Holden Rockwell, b. 8 April 1869 at Cameron, Pa.
  3. Norman Rockwell, b. Canton, 11 Oct. 1830; a tanner and currier. He married at Liberty, Pa., 26 July 1859, Christiana Schanbacher. She was b. 24 May 1834 at Liberty, daughter of Jacob and Rosanna (Fry) Schanbacher. They were living at Canton, Pa., in June 1876. Eight children in Whitney [PW 2411–12]; 1 [maybe 2] more in census of 1880:
    1. Martha Rockwell, b. at Canton, 28 Oct. 1862.
    2. Susanna Rockwell, b. at Canton, 22 Sept. 1864 (twin)
    3. Rosanna Rockwell, b. at Canton, 22 Sept. 1864 (twin)
    4. William Wiseman Rockwell, b. at Canton, 4 Feb. 1867.
    5. Sarah Rockwell, b. at Canton, 1 August 1869.
    6. Cora Rockwell, b. at Canton, 14 August 1871.
    7. Mary Rockwell, b. at Canton, 9 May 1873.
    8. John Calvin Rockwell, b. at Canton, 5 July 1875.
    9. Jenny Rockwell.
    10. Julia Rockwell, perhaps. The 1880 census at Canton, Pa., shows Norman and family, including an 8-month-old “granddaughter” Julia Rockwell, born in September of the previous year. Problem: All of Norman and Christiana’s children as given in Phoenix and Boughton are listed in the household, the older ones were still single, and only son William was only 13. It would make more sense if this Julia was one more child; so perhaps the census-taker got confused at the last minute?
  4. Jane Rockwell, b. Canton, 30 Jan. 1832; died there on 4 July 1837.
  5. John Calvin Rockwell, b. Canton, 22 Sept. 1833; a carpenter. He died unmarried at Canton on 27 Jan. 1868.

Children of Adoniram and Hannah (Watkins) Rockwell [PW 2077-78]:
  1. Hiram Rockwell, who was living at Emporium [Cameron Co.], Pa., in June of 1876. He is probably the Hirem C. Rockwell, 42, living in Emporium at the time of the 1880 census. He was 42, a millwright, and his father was born in Vermont--all of which fits well with Adoniram's record. His mother [presumably Hannah Watkins] was born in New Hampshire. Hiram had a wife Margaret A., 33 in 1880 [occupation: grocer], and a 14-year-old daughter Edith A., who was teaching school. I don't find him in 1870, but in 1860, a 23-year-old millwright named Hiram Rockwell was living with Daniel Rockwell, 31-yr-old millwright of Grove Twp., Clinton Co., Pa. and the latter's family: wife Jane, 21, and daughter Evaline, 3. This family was in Lumber Twp., Cameron Co., Pa., in 1870. This would appear to be the son of Jeremiah and Susannah (Bitner) Rockwell, thus a first cousin to Hiram.
  2. Morgan Rockwell, who was living at Reynoldsville, Pa., in June of 1876. There is a 37-year-old Morgan Rockwell in the 1880 census at Bordell, McKean Co., Pa., listed as part of the household of James and Ellie Askey. However, his and several other names are crossed out, with no birth and parental birth information given.

He m. at Whitneyville, Pa., 2 Jan. 1865, by Rev. Charles Weeks [Methodist], Mary Ann Neal. She was b. 15 Nov. 1849 at Charleston, daughter of John and Maria (Shaff) Neal. Calvin and Mary Ann were living at Arnot, Pa., in July of 1876. Six children listed in the Whitney genealogy [PW 2417]:

  5. Mary Ann Ely, b. at Charleston, Pa., 26 April 1844. She married at Mansfield, Pa., 30 Dec. 1863, by Rev. N. C. Reynolds [Baptist], Martin Victor Clemens, a farmer. He was b. 8 Dec. 1840, at Trenton, N.J., son of Martin and Barbara Clemens, who had settled at Charleston. Martin was drafted on 21 Feb. 1865 and assigned to Co. A, 98th Regiment of Pennsylvania Infantry, serving in the Civil War until discharged 29 June 1865. Martin and Mary Ann lived at Charlestown until 1 may 1867; at East Charleston until 1 Nov. 1873; then at Round Top in Charleston, where they were living in July of 1876.
