Census Records
Census Record 1850 Hannah Falkinburg (digital transcription Faulkinbury)
- Listed in the reocrd are: Ellen Faulkinbury 9 Fountain Faulkinbury 15 Hannah Faulkinbury 11 Hannah Faulkinbury 46 Phebe E Faulkinbury 6 Rachel Truax 20. I believe this is the widow of Capt. Samuel Falkinburg. Hannah (Truax) Falkinburg. All children in the list are usually cited from the unition of Samuel and Hannah except Phebe. Phebe E. is likely Elizabeth.
- This record could also give a link to the young family of Hezekiah Falkinburg. The earliest record of Solomon (son of Hezekiah) is in a household with Rachel Falkinburg. Is that Rachel the same as Rachel Truax??? The two households are near each other 72 & 81. However, there are two Rachels listed differering in age by a few years. Both census records spell the last name Faulkinbury-- although the y may be a digital transcription error.
- Captain Samuel must have died between 1840 and 1850.
Census Record 1860 Hannah Falkenburg
Most of the family has left home. There appear to be two borders Jervis Cammer and John Wilsey. Ellen Slack (b. ABT 1841) and daughter Hannah M. Slack are likely Ellen Falkinburg and a daughter. On the next page continuing the same household but a new family are: Caleb Perrien 40 Rachel Piercen 29 Fountain H Piercen 4. This is likely Rachel Truax. The birth years for this Rachel and Rachel Truax match.
Little Mott Family Tree: I think that the marriage dates are reversed??? I suspect that the date of death is not right either.
Some good notes on Descendents of John Mathis
"Notes for SAMUEL FALKINBURG, JR.: This unusually large family of children have been unfortunate as to the manner of their deaths. The father and all of the sons were seamen, the majority of them being captains. The eldest son, Captain John Falkinburg, many years ago, was shipwrecked and downed at Cape Henlopen; Samuel Falkinburg, his brother, was lost in the schooner Greenberry Holsk; Lemuel was drowned in the harbor of New York; George died of cholera on board of a vessel, Capt. Charles was drowned in the harbor of San Francis California; Fountain, the 2d, was drowned in Chesapeake Bay. Two of three of the grandsons and some of the great grandsons have met death in a like manner. MORE"
Samuel C. Falkinburg (Son of Samuel and Mary Cranmer)
I found a citation in the US Census for Charles Falkinbury. The family is given by Charles Faulkinbury 8 Elizabeth Faulkinbury 13 Hudson Gaskill 0 Samuel Gaskill 31 Samuel Gaskill 1 Sarah Gaskill 33. I think that Sarah Gaskill may be the wife of the late Samuel C. Falkinburg. Her maiden name was Sarah B Monrow b. 29 SEP 1816. I should check this out. I am quite sure that she is. Look at the following family tree for Samuel Gaskill. Sarah is listed as Sarah B Falkinburg. The first child of this new marriage is named Samuel Falkinburg Gaskill (b. 8 APR 1849). Sarah is listed with a b.date of ABT 1817. Charles, at age 8, is the youngest Falkinburg child. This would imply that Samuel C. Falkinburg died 1842 BET 1850. The oldest Gaskill child is 1 year old. This might mean that the couple has been married for about 2+ years. This may imply a date later than 1842 for the death of Samuel C.
