This Luther Church is my 5th great-grandfather. I've hit a wall trying to verify 100% who his parents were. On Ancestry.com a number of family trees ascribe the middle name "Clarke" to him. I haven't been able to find any source material (e.g. gravestone, death record, etc.) that proves this middle name was ever used by him. Does anyone have any proof that "Clarke" was his middle name? If so, this information could help with researching his parentage (parents were not John Church (b. 1766) and Anne Hollenbeck (b. 1766) who were married in 1786, 4 to 5 years after Luther's accepted year of birth in 1781/2.

Henry Church-1 was born on 30 Nov 1750 in Suffolk, England. He died on 14 Sep 1860 in Hundred,
WV.
Notes for Henry Church:
General Notes:
Lived to be about 114 years old
Hundred is a town in Wetzel County, West Virginia, United States. The population was 344 at the
2000 census. It was named for Henry Church and his wife, the first settlers who lived to be 109 and
106. Hundred is the only place in the United States with this name.
Hundred is so named because Henry Church would sit on a rocking chair on his porch near the train
station. As the train came into the station, people would say "There's old Hundred," referring to his
age. Eventually the name stuck and the station- and the town- became known as Hundred.
It was rumor around Hundred that Old Man Church
said he wouldn't have married Hannah if he had known she was going to die so young.
Hannah Keine was born in 1755 in Lancaster Co., Pa. She died on 27 Jul 1860 in Hundred, WV.
Notes for Hannah Keine:
General Notes:
Lived to be about 110 years old

Does anyone's Henry Church research show any descendant Sarah E Church B:Jan 1871 in Buchanan, Virginia?
Also I saw a question on the Church board on RootsWeb that was trying to find the city where Henry was born. I too only show Suffix.
However something that might help is Henry was a Royal body guard to King George III.
He was sent here with another royal guard to report back to the King on the Revoluntionary War.
Both were caught and jailed in NY or Philadelpia I can't remember which. After the war both decided to stay in America rather than to report back to the King.
That may be of help to find out anything more than Suffix.

Oops, I mis-typed "(His headstone says he was 71 when he died in Jan 1782", it should read "Jan 1852".

Jim, I guess I should be a little more careful, instead of referring to "Oliver Jr", I should write Oliver c1780-1852. (His headstone says he was 71 when he died in Jan 1782, so it's possible he might have been born in 1781). Anyway I never meant to suggest that your Oliver b 1794 married Merete Clute.
Yes, it annoys me too when people conflate the various Olivers. One way I cope is by including all of them in my tree even though it's not clear (so far) that your Oliver's are related to mine. That way anybody who looks at my tree will see they are distinct.
The Mills connection interests me partly because of your possible connection but also because I want to know where and when Elizabeth Mills died. I imagine it unlikely that she would have accompanied Malachi while he was tramping the wilds for Gov. Tryon.
By the way, the DNA tests are very interesting. Have heard from a fifth cousin who happens to match me exactly on 37 markers. Awaiting further test results on 67 markers, but it's interesting that he had independently traced himself back to Oliver 1780-1752. The ftdna administrator has pointed out that it's very useful to have two exact matches for a given line. There are other interesting angles but I think it would be terrific if you could get tested. Land petitions had shown me the line back to Malachi, but the close matches with other people who go back to Richard of Hartford make it all pretty conclusive for me.
It was sometime after 1797 that Oliver 1780-1852 was removed from the U.E. rolls, but I think he was added back in later. I'm guessing the problem was that he had applied for grant as a volunteer in his father's (Lieut. Oliver) regiment (which he was, but not until long after the Revolutionary hostilities ended) when he was 16 or 17. Whereas he was eligible to claim 200 acres or more once he turned 21, as son of a Loyalist soldier. His uncle-by-marriage, Hazelton Spencer (Major and commander of the regiment in 1797, also a JP) was apparently in cahoots. This may have been part or all of the reason why Spencer was later reprimanded by his fellow magistrates.
I've found no later petition by Oliver 1780-1852 but others showing that he inherited what was left of his father's very large grants that weren't squandered. (As a result his widowed mother, Jemima Richard, was left with no land, so in 1822 she petitioned as child of another U.E., that being her own father, Lieut. Jean Richard.
Anyway, apart from the y-dna angles, my hope is that by investigating other lines (Clutes, Shibleys etc) that married into the Church line, or should I say my Church line, something may turn up for the Mills lines. I don't know enough about the mtdna to guess whether it might help.

The headstone in Lehighs Cemetery is Margarets the wife of Oliver. No grave has ever been found for her husband Oliver nor has any grave ever been found for their son and daughter in law Willam and his wife Lydia Rose. We know they both died in Bad-Axe Michigan and they gave their land to their son William Joseph with Conditions but there is no known grave for Oliver, William or Lydia.

You speak of Oliver Jr. marrying the daughter of a Yankee soldier, Gerrit/Garrett Clute, this assume is Merrita Clute you are referring to and as to the removing of Oliver Jr. from the Loyalist rolls in 1797, it would be difficult for Oliver Jr. son of Oliver Church and Margaret Pangborn because at that time in Olivers live he would be approx 3 years old and hardly able to even know what the word Loyalist meant and then to apply for it. If anyone would put the two Oliver Church's together they would soon see the picture of these two men as being completly different and like you mention people assume the two men are the same person even though all they have in common is the name Oliver Church. It really annoys me that people would think the two were the same man on that point only. I think the two families knew each other as Oliver and Margaret lived with Jonathan Mills Church in Ontario but there is no proof they are related. It has been asumed now that perhaps Margaret's m!
other may have been a sister to the wife of Malachi Church(Elizabeth Mills(not Miller) but that still needs to be explored as of right now Oliver and Margaret do not exist before their life in Canada. Thad E. Leavitt in his book claims they are from Danbury Vt. but there is no such place and never has been such a place. There is a lot more that needs to be explored about Oliver and Margaret if only we could find them in the U.S.
