| Birth: Dec. 17, 1779 Beaver Beaver County Pennsylvania, USA Death: Nov. 18, 1859 Hancock County West Virginia, USA BIOGRAPHY of, William T Aten I (son of Adrian Aaron Aten, b.~1753 d.~1837, and a grandson of Dirck (Richard) D. Aten b.1721 d.1809). --- Of special interest: both Adrian Aaron & Richard (Dirck above) were veterans of the American Revolutionary War. William T. Aten I was born 1779 (in PA.) and he died 18-Nov-1859, in (the now defunct) Brooke County of the "Old Dominion", Virginia (which is today, Hancock County, West Virginia - geographically, part of the northern-most "pan-handle" which borders the Ohio River, Ohio and Pennsylvania). He married 1) Jane Anderson b.~1785 so far as is known, in Virginia, d.1835 also in Brooke County, daughter of William Anderson and [Unknown]. She bore seven of his children. He married 2) Catherine Wycoff, b.1808 d.????, who bore him five more children (one of which was, still-born). --- BIOGRAPHY of grandson, William Aten II (of William T Aten) which speaks of four generations of Aten men... N.B. all of the text inside of [brackets] was added by your editor, for clarity - since thoseremarks were not part of the original text of the source (which is cited below), some dates have been ammended to coincide with current research: "[his Grandson], William Aten [II] b.1821-d.1898, was a native of New Jersey, while his grandfather, Adrian Aaron Aten [b.1753, d.~1837, father of William T Aten I], is supposed to have been a nativeof Delaware [sic] {PA.}. Richard {Dirck} Aten, the great-grandfather of our subject {William II], was probably a native of Long Island. The first representative of the Aten family to come to America came from Belgium, and landed on these shores in 1741. The great-grandfather of our subject ran a ferry on the Delaware River, and lived to be quite an old man. Aaron Aten served in the Revolutionary War six months, and took part in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown. He was once wounded in the leg. He farmed in Delaware until 1792, and then moved to Western Pennsylvania, and settled at the point where Beaver, Washington and Allegheny Counties come together. He made the trip over the mountains with a team and wagon, and was one of the very first settlers in that part of the State. He erected a log cabin and cleared a farm, on which he spent the remnant of his life, dying at the age of eighty-two years. He was a very religious man, and was first a member of the Dutch Reformed Church and later of the Presbyterian. The father of our subject passed his early life on a farm in Pennsylvania, and after marriage moved across the line into West Virginia. He bought two hundred acres of landthere, and cleared half of it. He was a man of persevering industry, and by thrift and economy became quite well-to-do. He was a faithful member of the Presbyterian Church. His death occurred on hishomestead in West Virginia at the age of eighty-four years. Jane (Anderson) Aten, his wife, was, so far as known, a native of Virginia. She was a kind motherly woman, and a member of the Seceders' Church. She died at the age of fifty-two years. Seven of the eight children whom she bore grew to maturity: Aaron H., John C., Richard, Robert, William, Mary (Mrs. McClurg) and Nancy. William Anderson, the maternal grandfather of our subject, was a native of Ireland, and when a young man came to this country and settled in Pennsylvania, where he engaged in his occupation as a farmer. He was a memberof the Seceders' Church. He died in Pennsylvania, just as he had attained the meridian of his life."

Record added: Dec 01, 2008 Find A Grave Memorial# 31870216 Wenn es um die Verwaltung, Erstellung und Wartung der Webseite geht, wird Find A Grave weitgehend von seinem Gründer, Jim Tipton betrieben. Jim schuf die Find A Grave Website im Jahr 1995, weil er keine bestehende Website finden konnte, welche sein Hobby, den Besuch von Gräbern berühmter Persönlichkeiten, ermöglichte. Er fand, dass es viele tausend Leute auf der ganzen Welt geben würde, dieseine Interessen teilten. Was als seltsames Hobby begann, wurde zu einer Lebensaufgabe und Leidenschaft. Aufzubauen und zu sehen, wie Find A Grave über seine kühnsten Erwartungen wuchs, war für Jimungeheuer befriedigend. Jeden Tag gaben Mitwirkende aus der ganzen Welt neue Datensätze ein, tausende verwendeten die Website als Bildungs-Nachschlagewerk, lange verlorengegblaubte Verwandte wurdenwiedergefunden und Millionen von Menschenleben bleiben in guter Erinnerung. In welcher anderen Art von Arbeit hätte Jim einer der letzten lebenden Munchkins getroffen, vort einer Versammlung von Grab-Enthusiasten in einem Hollywood-Mausoleum gesprochen und Schätze erworben, wie seinen antiken Sarg-Schraubendreher (nur zum Einschrauben)? |
