Samuel Landes, Sr
Birth: Apr. 20, 1788
York County
Pennsylvania, USA
Death: Dec. 20, 1849
Burketown
Augusta County
Virginia, USA
Son of John Landes and Catherine Miller
Marriage May 28, 1816 to Elizabeth Sheets in Augusta County, Virginia. Had the following children:
Jonathan Landes 1817-1885
John Landes 1819-1888
Mary "Polly" Landes 1820-1849
Samuel J. Landes 1822-1897
Valentine Landes 1824-1904
Catherine Landes 1826-1853
Elizabeth Ann "Betsey" Landes 1828-1904
Christian Landes 1828-1870
*Betsey and Christian both have their complete birth dates on their headstones confirming they were twins, even though he had moved away to Missouri and they died many years apart.
Elizabeth Sheets Landes died giving birth to the twins. As soon as it was appropriate Samuel married Elizabeth "Betsey" Welch. She is no doubt the adult female on his 1830 census, and his next child after the twins was born in 1831. Examination of the various marriage documents confirms her full name. She was mentioned as mother on a couple of her step-children's records because she had been the only mother they ever remembered.
Samuel and Elizabeth "Betsey" Welch had the following children:
Abraham Welch Landes 1831-1907
Lydia M. Landes 1834-1903
David W. Landes 1836-1908
Eliza Jane Landes 1837-1909
William Riley Landes 1840-1915
Daniel Brown Landes 1843-1901
