Records Compiled by Elena Goodworth in possession of Laura Anderson plus research by Laura

Timeline compiled by Aspen Anderson, daughter of Laura Anderson

Sybils' birth is according to a Bible record and her son James. Her place of birth should be Vermont.

Marriages: Sybil was a widow by 20; she was married to a captain in the war of 1812, he was killed in battle. I have read that her first husband was under the command of Colonel Thomas S. Squires who served in a New York Regiment, and who was also her second husband. Thomas was the son of Asa Squires who served in the Revolutionary War; he was the son of Stephen who was the son of Thomas. Laura, Andrus recorder and rootsweb.

HISTORY OF SYBIL'S LINE THROUGH CALVIN C. HANCOCK

Sybil Andress Descendants as reported by Elena Goodworth in the Andrus Recorder

Written by Frances D. Thomsen of Florida.

When my cousin, Donna Lang Pence, sent me among some papers, a copy of the "Recorder" from Dec 1969, I noted the information given about the Hancock line as researched by Mrs. Elena J. Goodworth and Mrs. C. C. Caswell, the latter of Clarinda, Iowa. Here at last was considerable information on my g grandfather's ancestor Calvin C. Hancock. It was noted that l, "To date we have no record of any children being born to this union." So, at that point we were a "lost Tribe" of the Hancocks who had two children, named: Royal, born about 1836; and my grandmother, Phoebe Mary, born 3 Mar 1839, the latter in Ill.. Calvin died in Illinois in 1840 and his wife Sophronia (Squires) Hancock died Oct 14, 1841 also in Illinois (near Rockford). Mrs. Sybil Squires Lang who had just married her forth husband, William Lang, Sr. a widower with several half grown children, sent a man and wagon back to Illinois to bring the little children to Ohio to be reared by her in the household which included three children of her own by Thomas Squires.

....All we knew about Calvin was that he was a military man because the descendants had his sword with his name on it and the epaulettes from his coat. {Could he have been part of the Nauvoo Legion?} We also had heard that , when he and his wife moved form Ohio to Illinois, they brought their possessions in a wagon and drove their livestock, each alternating with the duties.

The Lang-Squires household moved from Ohio to Minnesota about 1854, and in less than a year to Clayton Co., near Monona, Iowa. Phoebe Mary Hancock married George Franklin Draper in Clayton County in 1855 and their ten children were born there. They spent their married life in both Clayton and the Bordering county of Fayette. George liked the wooded area best, but Phoebe liked the wide open praries where she could raise a big garden and have an orchard. Her cousins were also nearer to her there. Of their ten children, there were 6 who had no children, Francelia E., George A., Squire E., De Forest, Nella Sophronia, and Sarah Ellen who died as an infant. Florence had one. Lenore had two and the remaining two, Royal Eugene (Gene) and Ella had seven each.

Phoebe's brother, Royal died shortly after he became 21 years old, from "inflammation of the bowels." He had bought an 80 acre farm in Fayette Co., and was planning on being married, but death intervened. Phoebe inherited the farm.

The George Draper family was still living in Clayton Co., when George enlisted in the armed services during the last year of the Civil War. This left the eldest child, "Gene", as the man of the house at the age of nine years. His education was pretty sketchy after that, but he was very good at reading, being in the Fifth Reader (the most advanced one in the ungraded school) at that age. He continued to educate himself by reading all thru his lifetime, was a good conversationalist, and well read on the topics of the day. He subscribed to many farm journals and used the most up to date methods in farming and raising livestock. He was successful in planting trees and tending orchards on the farm. He was one of the first to own purebred cattle, Holsteins, and at one time owned a percheron Stallion. Any land that was too wet to go under the plough was promtly tilled and put into cultivation.

To return to the GEORGE DRAPER FAMILY, George died at the age of 54 leaving his widow to be responsible for several teen age children and a farm to manage, which she did to the best of her ability. She was capable in her housekeeping having learned to knit, sew, spin and weave as a growing girl. She was a very good cook and in later live kept a private eating place for college students in the town of Fayette. Phoebe wa a pleasant person to meet, full of vivacity in spite of several physical ailments such as astma and rheumatism. Her daughter Lenore, a widow, lived with her mother and Lenore's daughter also was reared here. Phoebe was living with her daughter Ella Warner, at the time of her death, 11 Oct 1907. and is buried in Strawberry Point, Clayton Co., Iowa

Of the seven children in the Gene Draper family, there were six girls and one boy. [Anna May, Marion Edna, Frederic Royal, Eva Victoria, Elma Alice, Frances Ester (Mrs Thomas Thomsen), Norma Josephine]. Five of the six girls taught school and four went on to business offices until married. The only boy, Frederick Royal, was very successful in the lumber business and became a millionaire by his own efforts in Colville, Washington, where they dubed him later years as, "the grand old man of Stevens County". He died in 1962.....

RULUF ANDRUS FAMILY COLUMN(Additions by Laura Anderson 2005)

By Elena J. Goodworth

Sybil was the first child of Ruluf and Azuba Smith Andress. She was born 23 April 1796, according to her son, James, and a Bible record. Her birthplace has been variously listed as Essex County, New York and as Vermont. This may be due to the fact that until 1791, the area comprising Vermont was considered to be a part of New York State.(Does not cover the same area)

Sybil was a widow by the time she was twenty years of age. All that is known of her first husband is that he was a captain in the army, in the War of 1812, and was killed in battle.

Later, Sybil married Thomas S. Squires, a colonel in the army,(Thomas was only 16 years old a little young to be a colonel!) in the War of 1812, in a New York regiment. He was the son of Asa Squires, who served in the Revolution. When a young man, Thomas emigrated to New York (from Va. Or Vt.?). He made farming his life occupation, and in 1829 moved from New York to Ohio. He settled in Lorain County, among the Indians, and in the midst of a heavily timbered region began the development of the farm upon which he died at the early age of thirty five. (His farm is actually in Huron County and where he lives near Ruluf and Oran) A falling tree was the cause of his death. He was a Democrat in politics and a prominent and influential citizen of the community.

Thomas and Sybil were married 6 Dec. 1816. They had four children, three of whom were born in Essex County, New York. The last one probably was born in Lorain County, Ohio. They were as Follows:

(1) Sophronia Squires was the wife of Calvin C. Hancock, whom she married in 1835, when she was sixteen years of age. Calvin died in 1840, and Sophronia in 1841, in Ohio. To date we have no record of any children being born to their union.

(2) Philo Squires was married three times. He first married Harriet Harris, 12 November 1846, and by whom he had five children: Sophronia, Harriet, Helen (or Ella M.), George W., and a son who died in infancy. The second wife of Philo Squires was Harriet Brewer, whom he married 11 September 1862, and by whom he had three children: Maud, Charles Philo, and Bertha.o His third wife was Caroline Bolster, whom he married 9 April 1889. Philo spent most of his life in Lorain County, Ohio, where he died in 1905.

(3) James B. Squires married his first cousin, Delight Andress, the daughter of Almon Andress and the granddaughter of Ruluf and Azuba Andress. Their first three children were born in Henrietta, Lorain County, Ohio. There were: Charles E., Clarence A., and Elthelda M. Squires. The rest of their children were born in Putnam, Fayette County, Iowa. They were : Fred R., Stephen A. Douglas, Lester Legrand, Charlie C., and Birdie Bell Squires. James B. Squires died in 1898 and is buried in Strawberry Point, Clayton County, Iowa.

(4) Charlotte Minerva Squires married Nicholas S. Lang 22 May 1846, in Ohio. Their first three children were born in Ohio. They were: Annette Harriet, James A., and Emma A. B. Lang. The rest of their children were born in Iowa. They were Edgar E., Isadore E. (Male), William A., Edith M., Leon L., and Charlie E. Lang. In the 1880 census, the family was living in Putnam township, Fayette County, Iowa. Charlotte Minerva is reported to have died in Crookston, Minnesota, but no record was found there.

On 5 February, 1836, Sybil married her third husband, Medad Buckley. They had no children born to their union. Medad was an early settler in Lorain County, Ohio. His former Jane had died in 1835. Three of his nine children by his wife Jane are of particular interest. Nancy Buckley married Carlos Andress, son of Ruluf Andress, in 1832. Adad Buckley married Emily Andress, daughter of Ruluf Andress, in 1838. Jonathan Buckley married Lucinda Jane Andress, daughter of Almon Andress, the son of Ruluf Andress, in 1842. Medad Buckley died in 1839.

After the death of Medad Buckley, Sybil married a fourth husband, William Lang, whose first wife, Abrilla Swearingen, died in 1838. Two of William Lang’s children by his wife Abrilla also married into the Andress famiy. Nicholas S. Lang married Sybil’s youngest daughter, Charlotte Minerva, and William Lang Jr., married Sybil’s youngest sister, Harriet, in 1846. William Lang Sr. is said to have lived to the age of Ninety nine years, and to have died at the home of a son in Wasioja, Dodge County, Minnesota.

Sybil died 5 May 1867, at Monona, Clayton County, Iowa. She is reported to be buried in the local cemetery, but no stone was found to show the location of her grave. Also I found a record at the St Pt Lib that says she died 5-5-1882 which is wrong as she is dead in 1880

1877 -- Milo's temple book Sybel Andrus 22 Apr 1796 Wilmington Essex Ny (wrong they move there after 1800) died 8 Jan 1867 Bap 9 Jan 1877 Isadore is her niece no endowment date only endowed

Thanks for the information. I'll use it to see if I can dig up a bit more. If I find anything, I'll certainly let you know.

Dear Bill,

ps I have Abrilla asVan Swergan or Abrilla Sweerigen I also have 8 children for this couple from Hisrtories All I have on here is a note from a researcher in abt 1964 who said that she found a death for Abrilla Lang on 10 Aug 1838 and I am wondering if William brought his young family back to Lorain Co. where the family could help him. Sybil lost her 3rd husband Medad Buckley/Bulkley born in Fairfield Co. Ct the 13 of September 1839 leaving her again alone. I. have a history that says that William sent a man to Ill. to get Sybil's 2 orphaned grandchildren. I have a note in my file that says to look for Abrilla's death in Emmetsburg Iowa. I find one in Palo Alto Co today. Happy Hunting. By the way I put more about Sybil on a post it on your file.
