Our Monhollen Legacy


To Our

Monhollen Pedigree

Our ancestors crossed the sea at some point to come to the USA. Right now
we still don't know when they did or who exactly was the first Monhollen
to come. What we do know is that the surname is spelled many different
ways on the census at least. This may be because of the people taking the
census just not knowing how to spell it or it could be because our ancestors
spelled the name differently.

The most common two spellings are Monhollen
and Monholland but there are others.  

If you find a mistake on this pedigree please just let me
know by sending me an email with the mistake listed and your source of proof.
Please put Monhollen site in the subject line of your email. For the purpose of
this pedigree I will only use the Monhollen Spelling though you will find these
people listed in the census and indeed other records under different surname spellings.


NOTE: This whole Monhollen family was just about wiped out
by the Scarlet Fever. It took a lot of them.  This is a living page,
which means I will be working on it all the time.  I have a lot more
data to add to it right now.

3. George W.
Monhollen abt. 1863
Note: As I am looking at the dates there is something wrong with the
dates of birth for Rebecca and Robert Jr. as they are only 8 months apart!
Robert JR. could have come early I suppose and Elizabeth could have
gotten pregnant right away but this doesn't seem too likely to me. Another
thing, we know Robert was insane at least twice and admitted to the assylum
twice so going by the dates of his children's births one time was
probably between 1960 and 1963.
