| The Faulkner family line has been in America since the 1600's, origin Wales. The Faulkner clan arrived in America (Maryland) 22 January 1665 on the ship Agreement, setting out from Bristol. Their passage was paid for with 300 pounds of tobacco. This family consisted of John Faulkner (son of William Faulkner "citizen & draper of London" and Elizabeth Filmer, daughter of Sir Edward Filmer & Dame Elizabeth Argall) and Elizabeth (daughter of Reginald Filmer & Jane Travis), and their children John, Thomas & Francis. Members of the Faulkner line served in the American Revolution. A cousin from this family line is currently researching from this line of the tree. Continuous documentation for this lineage currently exists back until 1625 CE. Most of this line identifies with Freemasonry. There are several "Hiram" Faulkners among them. Also included among my ancestors from the Faulkner line, is author William Faulkner. *Related to Benjamin Franklin, the great statesman, through the Franklin family line. Will & Sue (Turner) Grunwald immigrated to America in the mid-1800's from Europe. Both were Jewish and identified as observant Jews per oral family histories per the children of Elizabeth Grunwald. The surname is spelled variantly in family records: Grunwald, Grenwald, Grenwalt, Greenwald, Grenwaldt and/or Greenwell. Elizabeth Grunwald had a brother named Noah Grunwald, and at least 2 sisters. References to Will disappear around 1850. The family name Grunwald and its various spellings have been researched by family members with little success. At age 7, Will was residing with a Dr. Harris in or near Livingston County, KY. Will and Sue had 4 children. Elizabeth Grunwald, wife of George Samuel Faulkner, originally settled in Joy, KY and later moved across the river to BayCity, IL. BayCity, IL is a southermost region of IL called "Little Egypt". Elizabeth Grunwald & George Samuel Faulkner had 9 children together. Not raised Jewishly, I formally returned to Judaism 18 February 1997 (11 Adar-I 5757), Sinai Temple, Champaign, IL, mikveh immersion in Indianapolis, IN under the supervision of Rabbi Norman Mark Klein & a Beit Din. During the reception following the immersion, I was blessed by the Rabbi with the birkat kohanim in parallel the laying of hands upon my head. As the birkat kohanim is the third principle of hashra'ah, clearly it took, and I am indeed a bat kohen - she through whom the blessing erupts into being, beit-ayin koach. |
