Today I am dedicating my page to my Aunt Dot who passed away Wednesday January 16th 2013. Her funeral is Monday Jan 21, 2013 at Martin and Wallace Funeral Home in Stockton, CA. Will be buried in Stockton Rural Cemetery.
She collected hundreds of music boxes, she loved to sing and play piano, loved animals and was a very strong Christian women. I loved her stories she would tell me about growing up and  how things were back then.
Last Summer my mom and I made a trip me from Bismarck, ND to Peru, IL and then us out to Stockton, CA. I thank God that I saw my beloved Aunt and that my mom and I shared an adventure threw God like no other.
My Aunt fell hit her head and was gone in a matter of hours. Before she died she sang Thou art and asked God to take her home and 20 min later she joined him in Heaven. I wish I could be there with my mom.

Document, document, document,

The importance of documentation is very important.


I will start with my Kubberness line:

Johann Frederick Theodor Kubbernus his wife Johanna Wilhemina Hamp and their children came to America on the ship the "Trave"



 
Their children:
 
Bertha Caroline Maria
Augusta Sophia Louise
Wihelmina Christina Dorothea
Freda Johanna Caroline Sophia
Carl Frederick Martin Heinrich
Wilhelm John
Frederick William
 
They boarded the ship on Sep 1888 and arrived in New York on Sep 21, 1888. They left Lavin, Mecklenburg, Germany for Bremen/Southampton Germany then to England and on to New York.
They settled in Pecatonic, Illinois, my grandfather Frederick William settled in Arlington, South Dakota.
 
 
Document where your family came from and how they got to America and their trip here. The voyage and arrival, who was waiting for them if anyone.
 
Use maps and atlas to locate your ancestor's journey and emigration patterns, the towns they lived in. You can also look up railroad maps it was a major impact on families during their time. The Rand McNally Map Store is a great place to start.

Paragraphs from Ellen Burnett Cavitt Book

By 1725 we find that the first son of Moses Cavet had made the break and arrived in America. This was Alexander Cavet. Born in 1705, Alexander, at 20, is spoken of as a Covenanter. It is supposed that his entire family was of the same mind. John and Sheridan followed Alex and arrived in Pennsylvania in 1736, John moving later to Augusta County, Virginia where he died. The father of these three men (with his four younger sons) came to America having moved from Scotland to Ireland in 1738 and to America in 1750.
At that time, Patrick (spelled Patric) was 15 years old. It was this son of Moses 1st who lived to be 100 years old, fought in the Revolution with his sons, Andrew, James and John. His brother, Moses, killed at Kings Mountain 10-17-1780, was accompanied in the latter days of the siege by a fifteen-year-old son, Richard, who many years later when living in Madison County, Alabama, was granted a pension for his Revolutionary fighting which, according to his account, lasted for about 10 years, through two enlistment’s, as wascustomary with citizens who were not professional soldiers.Patric's brothers, Richard and Michael, may also have been soldiers in the American Revolution but it is difficult to make definite the identity of persons with five of the same name in one family connection. At one time, there were five Moses Cavets and five Richard Cavets during the 1735 to 1800 period.
Alexander Cavet, son of Moses 1st and brother of Patric, was killed when his family was massacred in 1793. It is possible that he too saw service in the war for freedom from England, though there are no records by which we have substantiated this idea. One Alex Cavet is spoken of in Pennsylvania but it is known that Alexander Cavet lived eight or ten miles N-W of Knox City (Knoxville) Tennessee, at Cavitt Springs in Cavet Fort, at least during 1793.
So we can see that these men who were willing to banish themselves from their own country for religious freedom would also be the ones willing to do their part of the fighting for freedom from any tyrannies. The records give at least six Cavets (Cavitts) as Revolutionary soldiers.
In 1729 when the synod adopted the Westminster Confession and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, they provided for slight variations in doctrine in order "not to strive to force a Scottish, an Irish, an English, or a Welsh type of Presbyterianism" upon the whole of the new country.
Presbyterians took a prominent part in the Revolutionary War which was often spoken of by the British as the "Presbyterian Rebellion." John Witherspoon, president of Princeton College, and Moderator of the first General Assembly was the only minister to sign the Declaration of Independence.
Two Presbyterian groups separated from the established Church of Scotland were called the Covenanters who organized the Reformed Presbytery, 1743, and the Seceders who organized the Associate Presbytery. Both the groups sent ministers to America. In 1753 the Associate Presbytery of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, was organized. It was to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the Cavitts first came. In 1773, the Reformed Presbytery (Covenanters) of America was constituted. In 1782, these two very similar groups united as the Associate Reform Church. Their motto was, "The Truth of God -- Forbearance in Love". Their belief was and is that Jesus Christ as the only Head of the Church has given it the ministry and ordinances of God and that He expects His Church to bear witness in all of life, making known His love to all people, believing that the responsibility for fulfilling this mission rests equally on the minister and the laity.
