Thank goodness he left a will there naming his children. I descend from the youngest Solomon Schroyer who can be found in Accident, Md.until 1870 and from there I have lost him and his wife Nancy Jane Sissney. I believe they both died before the next census when I find their children in other homes. My father and I were in Accident checking to see if we could find an old family cemetery, never did find it for Solomon & Nancy Jane, and I believe we happened on to the Schroyer family place. Clayton Schroyer was at his mail box and we stopped to ask directions. great luck he was a Schroyer. It must be the one you have mentioned. Does the farm go back to John Wesley Schroyer or to his father Jacob.I do not have exact info. on Jacob's father Adam. Would appreciate sharing what you have so I can compare and make sure mine is accurate. Solomon and Adam were neighbors on the 1870 census so perhaps where your farm is located is also where my ancestors resided? We were there but a short time and I took a photo of the two men standing on the road chatting. My father William Leroy Durst, son of John & Minnie Sweitzer Durst died in 1992 so it is that long ago. Can you tell me more of your family line. I am happy to share anything on my line if you wish. I have both Isabelle Schroyer wife of Benjamin Sweitzer and Rachel Schroyer wife of John Lewis Durst as great grandparents. So we both have Sweitzer & Schroyer families in our heritage. Yes the Poorbaugh Book is good and Wayne Bittinger's Book is excellent, I wish I would have had more info. for him when he was doing his book. Hope to hear from you, you can contact me at [email protected] if you wish. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
