Descendants of Amelia Allen -Skinner- Spurgeon, (AKA Emily, Emma, Millie, Milly) 

The Spurgeon group called her Emily

The Skinner group called her Amelia

Could you be her descendant?

Amelia Allen- Skinner- Spurgeon is the progenitor of a large population of descendants in Hocking, Perry and Athens  county. Chances are if you have Murray City, New Straitsville, or Gore, Ohio roots you descend from this lady Amelia Allen! She had two families with two husbands, her first husband Eli Skinner died young, before 1850.  Two sons  and one daughter of her first marriage moved out west and multiplied, her daughter Margaret Skinner,  plus the children of her second husband, Reuben Spurgeon,  stayed in the area and multiplied.  Consequently the two sets of families lost track of each other and the knowledge of whom was related to whom over the last 150 years. Tracking the family history can be very confusing at best since so many knew her by so many different nicknames, and her name is spelled in many different ways in official documents. (Emma, Emily, Amelia, Millie). These types of spelling errors were common in the 1800's. So many hundreds of her descendants live in the area today that we thought it important to show her genealogy. With the help of several cousins we present you with this genealogy to assist you in knowing just who your relatives are.  

See if anyone you know is listed below, you might be surprised to see who your relatives are! Includes surnames such as Skinner, Spurgeon, Lanning, Campbell, Decker, Spencer, Currens, Wolfe, Mitchell, Smith, Rose, McIntyre, Farley, Sorrells, Hashman, Burton, Shaw, Sapp, Devol, Huston, Person, Kieffer, Bernard, Buchanan, Hoffman, Bradbury, Koon, Powell, Wright, Kinnison, Johnson, Johnston, Wallace, Donley, Orndorf, Kilpatrick, Nagle, Geiger, Leamon, Davis, Tippett, and many more! 

I personally was surprised to find that I was related to the majority of my Murray City, Ohio elementary classmates. See photo at bottom of this page.  If you attended Murray City Schools you have a 1:2 chance of being related to your classmates through this lady.

Mrs. Emma Allen-Skinner-Spurgeon

Note from Sharon Leon:

Some things that I think I should mention about the Margaret (Skinner) 
Lanning death certificate, which I have in front of me, is that Millie 
Campbell was living in Murray City at the time she signed it. Margaret died 
of "Brights disease caused by age" with pneumonia as a contributing factor, 
according to the doctor. Millie listed "Millie Allen" as her grandmother, 
possibly confusing "Millie" and "Emaline," unless Millie was short for 
Emaline, rather than actually being Millie's middle name, and if Millie was 
another name sometimes applied to Emma. Anyway, what I think is of most 
interest here is that Millie Campbell has "Eli Skinner" (father of Margaret Skinner Lanning) born in "W. VA" and 
"Millie Allen"  (mother of Margaret Skinner Lanning) born in "East VA." I'm not sure what she meant by that, but 
it's interesting. There are parts of the PA and W VA area that has changed 
hands back and forth, I think, as well as the boundary of VA and W VA having 
moved after the civil war.

Hocking County: Thos. Spurgeon, of Oreville, was killed by a train on Oct. 3rd. 1890

THE HOCKING SENTINEL Newspaper October 9 1890

Horribly Mangled by the Cars-
On Friday evening Oct. 3rd, 1890 Thomas Spurgeon, a well known resident of Oreville, was run over by the cars near Gore and ground to powder. His mangled body was found next morning lying scattered along the railroad tract for some distance. His head and face were so terribly crushed that nothing was left to aid identification. His right leg was cut off near the ankle joint and again at the hip. His foot was found about one hundred yards from the remains of the rest of his mangled body and the other portion of his leg could not be found. He was identified by Perly Hood by means of the scattered fragments of clothes lying near and certain pool checks which he had in his pockets. It is supposed that Spurgeon was in a bad state of intoxication and laid down on the tract and became insensible or unable to get off the track before being struck by the approaching train. The Coroners inquest consisted of gathering together the scattered remains and determining without much deliberation that his death was caused by the rushing train.

Buchtel Airman Is Slain By Huns After Bailing Out
Murdered Staff Sgt. Thomas J. Davis of Buchtel reported killed in action last Aug. 4, it is now revealed was murdered by Germans in the North Sea area. The Red Cross reports that Davis and fellow fliers were slain by the Huns after they had bailed out of a B-17 after their bomber had developed engine trouble.

Thomas Davis and Fellow Fliers Killed Last Summer
Nelsonville- Mrs. Juanita Davis, 39 1/2 E. Franklin St. Nelsonville, has been informed by the National Red Cross that her husband, Staff Sgt. Thomas J. Davis son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Davis of Buchtel was murdered after capture by the Germans along the North Sea.
Sergeant Davis, tail gunner on a B-17 was reported killed in action over Continental Europe on Aug. 4, in a war Department telegram received by his family last December. He previously had been reported missing in action.
The Red Cross communication to Mrs. Davis states that he was slain after capture by the Germans along with seven fellow crewmen after they had bailed out somewhere on the North Sea shore when their bomber developed engine trouble. The family had suspected that perhaps the men had been lost at sea.
However the Red Cross reports that all eight of the crew were shot and killed and their bodies were later found by the allied forces. Many direct hits were scored by bombs from Sergeant Davis' plane the Red Cross stated.
Mrs. Davis said Sunday that she had not as yet directly received the Red Cross communication which she understood had been sent to the home of her parents at Newark, where she formerly lived. She expected the letter today.
Sergeant Davis was inducted into the Armed Forces from Athens County Selective Service Board No. 2, on Oct. 26, 1942. He was a graduate of Buchtel High School Class of 1936. Besides his wife and parents he leaves two young sons, Thomas Jr., three years old and Fred Hughes, four and one half months old; also five sisters, Mrs. Regina Evans, Nelsonville, Mrs. Donald Tippett (Josephine), Buchtel; Mrs. Louise Smith, Mrs. Ruth Rose, Mrs. Audrey Mitchell, Logan; and a half brother, Belford Burgess, Akron.
