9851 The adult life of Agnes consisted of three parts, and the first part was her years with Henry III. As Henry dealt with the affairs of his realm, he left the operations of his court to Agnes. She became known throughout Europe as a generous patron of writers, painters, and poets. Europe's most creative minds came to Germany, and with them Agnes created a brilliant court. She also had six children with Henry, including his first-born son and heir Henry IV, born in 1050. These happy years ended abruptly when Henry III died in 1056.

When Henry IV succeeded his father, he was only six years old, and the second part of Agnes' life began when she started to rue as regent for her son. Besides her administrative responsibilities, she also acted as Chief justice and commander-in-chief of the military. The princes of the empire had approved her becoming regent and for the first few years were quite satisfied with her performance. They might have remained content for much longer but for the fact that Agnes relied very often on the advice of bishop Henry of Augsburg. The other princes felt that they were losing their own status as advisers to the royal court, and they began to consider how they might usurp the regency. They decided that separating Henry IV from his mother would give them control over the boy and his empire. One day in 1062 while Henry IV was on an island in the Rhine near Cologne, archbishop Anno of cologne and other princes sailed up in a small ship, seized Henry IV, and kidnapped him.

Agnes' reaction was cool and calculated. Henry IV was twelve when he was abducted but would reach the age of majority just two years later when he turned fourteen. Agnes gave up all the powers she was exercising as regent, moved to Rome, and offered her services to the pope. The second part of her life was over, but the third part was about to begin.

In Rome, Agnes quickly became a close friend of Pope Alexander II, who gave her new ecclesiastical responsibilities and sent her back to Germany on several papal missions. In 1064, Agnes was back in the imperial German court, and she was also present at the ceremony in March 1065 where Henry IV was declared an adult. her personal intervention was all that prevented Henry IV from taking the sword he had jut received and killing archbishop Anno of Cologne.

For the rest of her life Agnes served the pope and the church at the highest diplomatic levels. She made her last trip to Germany in 1074 and then retired to a convent in Rome to pray, fast, and tend the sick. She died on 14 December 1077 and was buried in Rome in the church of Petronilla, which later became part of St. Peter's.

9854 The ancestry of Henry Herman's wife, Maria Bitinger, has been traced to her 3rd great grandfather, Elias Bietinger, who was born about 1570 in Gondiswil, Switzerland. Gondiswil, located on the Birs River, is near the northeast border of the Canton of Bern. The Biurs flows north to the Aare River at Murgenthal & the Aare flows northeast to the Rhine River at Waldshut, Germany, which then flows west to Basel, Switzerland and north through France & Germany before turning west though Netherlands to the North Sea at Rotterdam.

Their first child, Peter, was born 30 Sep 1660. Bietinger families were Protestants and by the later 1600's were among the wealthy families of Gondiswil. However, they were also among those being persecuted by Catholics and about 1680 (a few years before the King Louis XIV 1685 revocation of the 1598 Edict of Nantes) Hans, Marie, and their children migrated downstream along the birs & then traveled by boat down the Aare & Rhine past Basel and Strasbourg to the Alsace region of Germany (now part of France), settling near Durstel. the Herman & Baltzly families also lived in the Alsace region and the three families may have been acquainted before immigrating to America.

9858 The arduous labors of the farm occupied the greater part of the years of the boyhood and early manhood of Zopher Scidmore. He was the oldest child of a family of ten and hence had little chance of shirking his duty toward the other members of the family, even if he was disposed. he had few opportunities of acquiring an education, but availed himself of those in a manner that proved him a through student, bright in intellect and wise even beyond his years. When he attained the age of twenty-five, he started out into the world on his own behalf, devoting himself most of the time to the cultivation of the soil, and steadily accumulating property. Later he purchased part of the old homestead and as his means permitted kept adding to it until at the present his farm comprises two hundred and twenty-five acres, well improved, fenced and splendidly cultivated. He lived continuously for thirty-three years upon this farm until, in 1701, he sold and moved to Grass lake, where he has since lived retired from the cares and activity of business life.

In 1869 Zopher Scidmore was united in marriage to Miss Hannah Baldwin, whose father was James Baldwin, an old and highly respected citizen of Jackson county. The union proved a most congenial one. They lived happily together for a period of twenty-one years and until the death of the true and faithful wife, which occurred in September, 1890. October 4, 1893 at Chicago, he again approached the matrimonial alter, this time accompanied by Mrs. Hattie Thurton, a native of Monroe County, New York, and widow of Voltaire Thurston, of Grass Lake. Mrs. Scidmore is a daughter of Thomas Royston, a native of England. She was married young in Monroe county, to George Peckham and soon after came to Hanover, Jackson county, where he was a farmer. He died t Michigan Center after twelve years of wedded life. She then married Mr. Thurston and resided with him on a farm six miles from Grass Lake. He died of consumption on the farm. Mrs. Scidmore has one daughter, Anna, the wife of Frank Scidmore, younger brother of Zopher, and they resided in Ottawa county, Kansas....

9859 The Baltzly ancestral home is Langnau, Switzerland, just south of the German border and close to Bern, Switzerland. In Switzerland the family name was Balzil and was pronounced Baltii. The name appears in Bernese documents before 1400. Baltzly families were Protestants and the family of Jacob Baltzly was among those that emigrated north because of religious persecution following revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685.

Jacob Baltzly, his wife, & 2 daughters emigrated from the Alsace area of Germany, arriving in Pennsylvania in 1742. Following their arrival the family soon moved to Lancaster County where records show Jacob was granted 112 acres in Hempfield township on 15 Aug 1744. Two sons & a daughter were born after the family arrived in PA. Jacob is listed on 1751 and 1756 Hempfield township tax records but about 1770 the family moved across the Susquehanna river to Paradise Township in York County.

9893 The beginning of the Revolutionary war found Mr. Crane ensign in a company of minute-men, and he continued in service throughout the period of seven years. March 1, 1776, he was ensign in 5h South East company, Capt. Joshua Barnum, Jr., Col. Jacobus Swartwout, 2d regiment. He was at the battle of Ridgefield, April, 1777; also the engagement at Ward's House, near White Plains. Mr. Crane was frequently employed in carrying messages to General Washington while located at the Highlands. His widow received a pension. He was a farmer, and spent his life on the farm he purchased from the State, it having been confiscated as the property of a tory. It was located in the southerly portion of the town of South East, and known as "Crane's Ridge," about three miles southeast from Brewster. CRANE, Lt.-Col. Jonathan (I93396)

9895 The Berkshire Historical Society Collections (p. 93) state that Samuel Eddy is one of those "who is recommended and received from distant places "to the Church of Christ as Cheshire. He seems to have lived in Windsor. Perhaps he went there later, but he was established there in 1777 when the Revolutionary War needed help from that section to protect Vermont. He was one of the famous company of "Silver Grays", which marched for the defense of Bennington. EDDY, Lieut. Samuel (I77037)

I will leave as is, until, I find otherwise.  EMERICK, Duwane (I66289)

9898 The book "A Genealogy of the Kidder family", states that Rachel Clemens was a widow when she married Mark Hiram Kidder. Her first husband was Dr. Dryden. I found Dr Simeon Dryden on Find A Grave. The dates seem to match up, since Rachel married Mark Kidder in 1825. More research needs to be done to further confirm this, but for now I am leaving it as it is.

ABSTRACTS OF WILLS, ADMINS. AND GUARDIANSHIPS IN NY STATE, 1787-1835 states the following:

pages 390-391
adm. On Estate of Simeon DRYDEN, (?) died intestate. Granted to Artemas DRYDEN, Hine CLEMONS, & Henry H. ROSS as admin.

Seal 29 April 1824.

Because of this will, I believe, that Simeon Dryden is the son of Artemas Dryden and the son-in-law to Hine Clemons. I'm not sure who Henry H. Ross is.
