Bob's
family is a true American tale of the melting pot. The earliest
Fluegge_McKnight ancestral settlers on this shore were the English Morrill and
Whitman families. The second wave were the German Bingaman, Barb and the Dutch
Hyler families. Third the Irish, the Phillips, McKnights and McEldowney
families. The later families were the Fluegge, Schmidt, and Landwehr families.
All of your ancestors arrived in America before 1855. Both families have
amazing longevity. This has made tracing your family tree a little easier, but
it still has the usual family mysteries and intrigues that drive a genealogist
crazy. Most of the families farmed and had large families We sometimes draw
straws on who gets to input these family names. The family also has seemingly
unrelated branches ( I say this because even the adoptive parents seem to have
family ties that go back to Massachusetts and Vermont) that can't be ignored
his paternal great-great grandmother and his grandmother were both adopted by
other families, the same holds true for his maternal grandfather. The families
that adopted them were named Putnam, Merrill and Field. A few were Urban dwellers with smaller hard
to find family members. The family also has unrelated branches that can't be
ignored. They are the Putnam, and Merrill families who took in 3 special
orphans and made them part of their families.
BOB'S
PATERNAL SIDE IS FLUEGGE/SCHMIDT.
The earliest ancestral settlers on this shore
were the English Morrill and Whitman families, the Irish McEldowney. Then came
the Landwehr, Schmidt, and Fluegge families. All of his ancestors arrived in
America before 1855. Bob's family has amazing longevity.
Ted Fluegge arrived in America in 1848 from Altona,
Germany. He was orphaned at an early age and came over to America with his
uncle. He came to Illinois and married and had three children. His first wife
was Henrietta Bruhn she died in Jefferson (now part of Chicago) between
1868-1870.
His second wife was Dena Schmidt the daughter of Johan
Frederick and Anna Landwehr Schmidt. Her mother’s family immigrated from
Germany between 1844-1845. They settled in an area of Illinois just north and
west of Chicago. The family owned land from what is now Barrington north to
Bensenville south (Landwehr Rd is a major street running through this area.)
Johan Frederick Schmidt and his wife
and three children and Henry Landwehr came from the port of Bremen, Germany in
1854 to Bensenville, IL.
Our Whitman side of the family begins with the marriage
of Albert Whitman, son of Chauncey and Deborah Whitman, when he married Libbie
Doten adopted daughter of Laben and Elvira Putnam. Both the Whitman and Putnam families were from Vermont. The
Whitman family moved to Dickinson, Franklin, New York and then later to Newygo
County, Michigan. It was when the
Putnam family had left Palatine, Illinois for Newaygo, Michigan to engage in
the lumber business that Albert and Libbie met. Albert and three of their young sons died early Libbie remarried
John Wilson had two children on died in infancy and and when she died she left
her son Frank with her parents to be raised He married Emma Morrill. Her daughter Libbie moved with her father to
Arizona and married John Goodwin a famous state politician.
Our Morrill family is from Hatfield, BroadOak, England
they arrived in Salisbury, Massachusetts, in the 1640's. This family is
intertwined with the most infamous and famous things in American history. The oldest ancestor we can
find in Abraham Morrill married to Sarah Clements, one of her family members
was imprisoned as a witch at the Salem Witch Trials, by the way prosecuted by a
Putnam and later a descendant was Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens). The Morrill family itself shaped politics
across the United States there are several cities and counties named after
Abraham’s descendants. Our direct Ancestor Thomas Morrill migrated from Massachusetts to Vermont to
St. Lawrence County, New York, to West Salem, WI, where he met and married
Matilda McEldowney. After her death he married Matilda Taylor and moved to
Pipestone County Minnesota. His family
scattered west and he died visiting one of his sons in Coupeville, Washington.
Our McEldowney family was from Omagh, County Tyrone
Ireland. Andrew McEldowney and his
brothers immigrated to Crawford County, PA in 1825. There he met and married
Mary Cunningham. They moved to West Salem, LaCrosse County, WI. While some of the McEldowney family stayed
in Wisconsin, the rest went west to the Dakota territory and California.
Tragically Emma and Frank Whitman died in 1890, Leaving
behind two small children, one being Bob's grandmother Libby. Libby's adopted
parents were the Merrills of NY, Michigan and Chicago. Libby met and married
Robert H. Fluegge. Libby and Robert lived in Elmhurst, IL and later retired to
Lake Mills, WI.

BOB’S MATERNAL SIDE IS
MCKNIGHT/HYLER
The earliest American ancestors
are the Barb, Bingaman, Hyler and Phillips families they came from France (then
part of Germany), Germany, the Netherlands and Northern Ireland. Later came the
McKnights also from Northern Ireland.
The oldest Barb ancestor we
have found is Piters Barb born 1639. His descendant Johan Jacob Barb and his
family came from Hochenstenbach, Pfatz (Metz, Alsace-Lorraine) to Shenandoah
Co., Virginia in the 1760's. From there they moved to Ohio. Part of the family
went to Trumbull County, OH and the our branch the family of Peter Barb went to
Fairfield County, OH. His son Bethuel
Barb married Elizabeth Sturgeon and they raised their five children in Etna,
Fairfield County their daughter Esther married William Bingaman.
In Fairfield, OH a relative (we
have yet to find the real relationship, but the surname information comes
directly from her grandson’s biography and Peter’s family was the only Barbs in
Fairfield) Mary Ann Barb married Samuel Curtis Hyler, Jr.The ancestors of the
Samuel Hyler family were from the Netherlands (various spellings of the name
range from Von Hyler,Huyler and VanHuyler). They immigrated around the same
time the Barbs came to America., Samuel Curtis Hyler Sr. was born in Delaware
about 1780 married Margaret Bartholomew and later moved his family first to
Rushville, Ohio and finally to Fairfield County Ohio where their son Samuel
Curtis Hyler, Jr was born. Samuel Sr. died in 1820 when his son was only two.
Margaret remarried a Jacob Cromer about 1822 and had two daughters Sarah
Caroline and Lucinda. Samuel moved the family from Fairfield to Montezuma,
Mercer County, Ohio. After the death of Mary Ann, he went back to Fairfield and
married her cousin Celia Chillcote.
There his son Samuel Bethune Hyler met and married the
great-granddaughter of Peter Barb Elizabeth Bingaman.
The Bingaman family came to
America in the early 1700’s. The oldest ancestor was Peter Bingaman who was
born in Germany and died in Berks County, Pennsylvania in 1757. One of his sons
served in the Revolutionary War. Our ancestor William Bingaman was born in
Berks County, Pennsylvania butlived in Licking and Franklin Counties in
OH. After the marriage of his daughter
to Samuel B Hyler both families moved to Princeton, Kansas where William and
Elizabeth died. It was in Kansas that Samuel and Elizabeth's daughter Nellie,
while working as a stenographer in Kansas City met and married Harry McKnight.
Harry McKnight son of Civil War
Veteran Robert McKnight (I have no information on his family) and Mary Ann
Phillips was orphaned at an early age was from Brooklyn, NY who had been taken
in and care for by William Field and his family in NY, Chicago and Later Kansas
City, MO.
The grandparents of Harry
McKnight were Stephen and Jane Lynch Phillips they had been in Brooklyn, New
York since at least 1816. I am just beginning to learn more about the Phillips
family, check later for more updates. The Field family was from Long Island,
New York.
William Field and Harry
McKnight moved from Chicago to Kansas City and then after Harry married Nellie
they moved from Kansas to Elmhurst, IL and raised their family there until
their retirement, when they moved to Bensenville, IL. It was in High School, in
Elmhurst, IL, that Nellie and Harry's daughter Berta met and married Robert and
Libbie Fluegge's son Robert.

Acknowledgments
I would like to thank all the family
members (many of the family members who contributed to this work
in progress, have died and I miss them. But the journey keeps them close and I
know that they are still helping me find my way),
librarians, cemetery workers, local historians, county office clerks, Las Vegas
Public Library for their access to Heritage Quest and Newsbank (America's
obituaries and death notices), Ancestry.com, LDS and the new friends I have
made on-line for their time, research and help in acquiring the photos, family trees
and stories on this WebPages. Family history is not something anyone can do
alone and there are so many great people out there working together to make it
easier to do, all you have to do is just look. Not all is completely
verified and is subject to correction. I am now up to 9,028 people in my family
database and still growing daily. This web page covers just Bob's side of the
family. To all of you out there thank you. Alice
