The Oak Tree by Thomas Bewick

It was Isaac Servis (c.1770-1846) who inspired me to compose this Servis family tree. He was the earliest known tavernkeeper in the village of Locktown in old Amwell Township, and son of first generation George & Rebecca Servis.

I am certain there are mistakes and omissions in this tree, and will be happy to receive corrections and additions. Add them to the Comments section below or email me with your information.

First Generation:

(1) George Servis (c.1740 – c.1816) & wife Rebecca (c.1740 – )
I have very little information on this couple. George “Servoss” was taxed in Amwell Township in 1780. In 1814 he wrote his LW&T, naming his children, including son Isaac.

Second Generation:

(1) George Servis & Rebecca
|    (2.1) John Servis (c.1765 – ) & Isabella Fleming (c.1770 – )
|    (2.2) Isaac Servis (c.1770 – 1846), tavernkeeper of Amwell
|    |    |    m. 1) Catharine Case (c.1770 – 1836)
|    |    |    m. 2) Ann Eicke (c.1820 – )
|    (2.3) Mary Servis (c.1775 – ) & Jacob Case Jr. (c.1770 – 1843)
|    (2.4) Jacob Servis (c.1785 – )
|    (2.5) Ann Nancy Servis (c.1790 – ) & unknown Horne (c.1790 – )
|    (2.6) Rebecca Servis (c.1790 – ) & unknown Tinsman (c.1790 – )

Third Generation:

This tree is very incomplete. Keep in mind that these are only the names I am aware of. No doubt there are many more members of this family.
