How's the mid-November 2012 going for you? Thanksgiving is just a few days away. Have you made a list of what you are thankful for?

The Hull/Hohl Family

This week's newsletter is filled with NW Okie's paternal Hohl/Hull family information concerning her 5th great grandfather, Peter Thomas Hohl. Besides that, we continue our history into Rockbridge county, Virginia.

The Hull family was of German ancestry. The name is found in records as Hole, Hool, Hohl, Holle and Hull.

Peter Thomas Hull (1), the progenitor of this branch of the Hull family was born c. 1706 in the Palatinate; died in 1776 in Augusta County, Virginia; married (1) in Germany (do not know first wife's name); Married (2) November 25, 1750 in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania to Susannah Margaretha Dieffenbach (sometimes spelled as Fieffenbach). Peter Thomas Hull came to Philadelphia from Rotterdam on the ship Frances and Ann. Thomas Coatan, Master, arriving in Philadelphia on May 30, 1741.

Last, but not least, Have you ever read or heard stories about a New York attorney, Burton W. Gibson, and a Countess Rosa Menschik Szabo, who allegedly drowned or was strangled at Greenwood Lake, New York during September 16, 1912? We found a few news article from that time period for this week's newsletter.
