      ; I am fairly new at this genealogy over the internet. Today I found your imformation about George Gall Jr. and Susannah Nicholas. My Father is a descendent of their son Michael Gall and Nancy Cook. I notice in your listings of the George and Susannah children that you had some blanks. According to a book that my father purchased in the 60's called "The Gall and Williams' Genealogy" by Olive Gall Newcomer 1953 they had eight children. 1. Jacob Gall b. Nov. 28, 1787 d. 1821 m.

June 9, 1880, m. Nancy Cook April 15, 1824. Nancy Cook b. Dec. 1 1799 d. May 3, 1877 My understanding is that Michael Gall and Nancy Cook Gall are buried around Beaver, Ohio. Michael and Nancy's 4th child David came to Padonia,Kansas(Brown County) to settle on land assigned to James S. Easley. The land patton is dated May 17th, 1854. My father still lives on this land in the house that David built. I have the above mentioned genealogy book and would gladly copy any pages and mail them to you. I do not have a scaner for my computor, in fact my son makes fun of my "dinosuar" of a computor. It gets the job done.If you have any information about the David Gall - Mary Agnes Staley Branch, I would like to have it. I am also lacking imformation earlier than George Gall Sr. In fact, this is my first week to ever use the internet to research my genealogy. Thank you for any help that you can give me.

     George Gall Sr. was born in 1730 at Germany.^1,2 He married Marie Stults (Stultz) Poturve in 1765 at Rockingham Co., Virginia, USA,
; There is confusion as to who was George Gall's wife - Marie POTURVE or Catherine REITH. Some sources list one, some list the other (same children).¹ George Gall Sr. married Catharina Elizabeth Rieth, daughter of John Casper Rieth and Anna Margaretta Barth, in 1770

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
From Diane Keeton [dkeeton@TSO.Cin.IX.net]
We are both descended fromHermanus Batdorf and his second wife Elizabeth Catherine Read.
My ancestor was Casper Batdorf's brother David Potter who lived in Rockbridge co. VA. Because both Gasper Potterf (as he was known) and his stepbrother George Gall, Jr., lived in OH, I have been able to find a few extra things on them. (I live near Cincinnati)
Hermanus died in about 1763 and Elizabeth Catherine Read Batdorfmarried John George Gall in 1770. George Gall's wife, MariaStultz, had died after 1766 when George Jr. was born. Elizabethand George Gall had at least 2 more children, Michael and John, that I can definately identify, but I know there were more Galls either from George's first marriage or with Elizabeth.
During the Rev War George and Elizabeth lived in Washington Co., MD, where George was a 1st Lt and his step-sons David, Philip and Casperwere privates. After the war they all moved to Rockbridge Co. VA.
By about 1790 George and Elizabeth had moved on to Pendleton Co. (West) Virginia. Elizabeth was still alive in 1810, and was probably still alive in 1812 when George died.
David and Philip stayed in Rockbridge Co. and changed their name to Potter. David's wife was Margaret when he died sometime between 1812 and 1815 in Rockbridge Co, but he may have been married twice. Besides the 10 children named in his estate, he had 4 illegitimate children with widow Sophia Miller. Philip's wife was Katherine; he died in 1834. I can identify 8 children of Philip's, but there may have been more.
Casper lived in VA until 1805 when he migrated to Preble Co. OH. In 1824 in that county he headed a delegation which wanted to divide the township in which he lived. He was a well-respected citizen and his argument was so persuasive that not only did the county commissioners create a new township, but it was named Gasper Township in his honor.
I have compiled all of this recently, and I believe it may be new information for researchers of Hermanus Batdorf and his wife Elizabeth Catherine Read. I have not seen it anywhere else. Batdorf researchers all have lots of information on Casper but almost nothing on David and Philip, nor Hermanus's widow after she re-married.³

; Nothstine [1965, pp. 29-31] [Quote] John and George, Jr., Sons of George Gall, Sr., lived the early years of their lives in Rockbridge County, Virginia. Later George, Jr., married and went with his wife to Ohio. John married Margaret Fulwider of Rockbridge County, March 10, 1798, and they joined George, Jr., in Ohio. They went on, not making any permanent settlement until they reached Missouri about 1814. John and Margaret, along with their four children, Elizabeth, David, John, Jr., and Jacob Gall, passed St. Louis and journeyed on up the Missouri River about fifty miles before locating and settling on a plot of ground to their liking, which lay along the Missouri River bank.
When John Gall, Sr., migrated, there were two distinct classes of people in this area of Missouri, the deer hunter and the true settler. The settlers were occupied in Improving and making their land useful for cultivation. John Gall, Sr., settled on a Spanish grant which had been ceded by the Spanish government, a port of which later became the Newport settlement. The life of the settlement was backwoodsy--that of the pioneer on the frontier. John, Sr., came with his wife and family from Virginia with only the few possessions which they were able to bring in the wagon; the ax was one of his most important tools because of its many varied uses, and it was very responsible for his being able to put up the first crude home of two log cabin rooms.
The settlement of Newport had a general store, which served the scattered settlers within a wide radius. Supplies were received from St. Louis by the Missouri River. The store kept a small stock of dry goods, groceries, and hardware. Money was scarce and trading was mostly commonly done by exchange in John Gall's time.
At that day the farming was limited. Corn, wheat, tobacco, cotton, and hay were the principal crops of the early settlers. Much of the early trading was done in St. Louis once or twice a year by the settlers. Pelts, venison, hams, turkeys, and furs were often exchanged for articles necessary for the settler family.
When the early settlers came to Missouri, they found that this area was inhabited as the hunting grounds of several Indian tribes. The Pawnees who resided on the Loupe Fork of the Platte River about a hundred miles west of the Missouri River were a valuable source for securing furs. They had a fixed village made of large, strong houses where they lived permanently, while many of the other Missouri tribes, like the Sioux, Crows, Fox and Shawnee, lived only in tents and were always moving from one place to another. Near the villages, the Pawnees cultivated fields of maize or sometimes called Indian corn. After the planting was over, they went on long excursions to hunt, make war, or secure wood and furs. When the furs were brought into the villages, the squaws took them, scraped them, rubbed them with brains or pork, and made strong and flexilie, ready to trade to the fur traders,
The Osages roamed all around through the territory south of the Missouri River and were often in conflict with the Pawnees to the North. The Osage Indian had a burying ground discovered on the Gall farm a mile and a half north east of the house, where great stones are found on and around the mounds. Many flints and arrowheads have been discovered and uncovered in this vicinity to leave the impression that this area was once an Indian territory. However, their main hunting grounds were farther south in the vicinity of the Ozark region. They were attracted to this section because of the bison, deer, and other animals looking for water and food, The Osage Indian was not less than six feet tall and of great muscular build. They talked little unless under the influence of liquor. Several different tribes sprang from this one main settlement of the Osages in Missouri and left behind their names to label rivers and cities in this region. The dress of the Osage was usually moccasins, leggings covering the legs, and breech-cloth. Sometimes a leather hunting shirt and head gear were worn. White people were welcomed at first, but later the attitude of the Indians changed because of the cruel treatment of the land-seeking whites. One of the famous Indian war paths passes right close to the Gall farm. It was the warpath of the Foxes and Soukees to the Osage villages which went through the rugged country of Gasconade and Franklin Counties. One famous Osage trail led from their village to Arrow Rock, on the Missouri River north of their territory. It was here at Arrow Rock that flint heads for their arrows were secured,
During John Gall's time, Missouri was one of the pioneer territories in the process of development. The absence of social organization, due to the inability to travel, the lack of national government, and the very limitations of the frontier life led to great personal hardships. A general picture of the territory was one of gambling, profanity, and the carrying of weapons without restrictions. Franklin County had no railroads prior to the early 1850's and here and there toll plank roads would appear only to be a failure because of lack of travel and their great expense for the few. Gravel and rock found some local usage, but roads were still very primitive and had little general use, Franklin County, however had little to worry about as far as transportation was concerned since it was bordered by the Missouri River.
Formal schools were opened about 1845 and the school lands were sold to secure a school fund to establish the school, John Gall, in 1828, served as the school land commissioner of the county in disposing of the lands and collecting a large enough fund for the expense of a school. The early salaries of the teachers ranged from $40 to $85 a month, and the enrollment sometimes reached as high as twenty pupils. Some of the early books used were McGuffey's Reader, Webster's Speller, Felter's Arithmetic and the Ecelectic Geography.
John Gall also served as county court judge in 1824 and then had another term from 1831 to 1834. Newport was the county seat of Franklin County from 1816 until 1826, when it was moved to Union, Missouri. There in Newport the school, the post office, general store, the church and the courthouse all were located.
John Gall died a natural death In 1862 during the Civil War and the land grant which was given to him by the land grant under President John Quincy Adams was divided between his sons, John and David.
His daughter, Elizabeth, had married John Todd, 1829, and his son Jacob was no longer living.
