Boschong Subscribers, We found a marriage record in Stark County, Ohio for Polly Bushong and John Harter. Polly is a nickname for Mary. We have no idea who her parents are at this point. We do know that this girl is NOT the daughter of John Bushong and Barbara Kreighbaum. Any ideas as to her parentage? There are a lot of loose ends with the Pennsylvania Bushongs. ------------------------- MARY "POLLY" BUSHONG Born: 1811, Pennsylvania Married: 1 September 1836, Stark County, Ohio to John Harter Died: After the 1880 census JOHN HARTER Born: 1805, Pennsylvania Died: 1877, Wayne County, Ohio Burial: Doylestown Lutheran Church Cemetery, Doylestown, Wayne County, Ohio ------------------------- Stark County Ohio Marriages Polly Bushong married John Harter 1 September 1836 --------------------------- 1850 Federal Census: Ohio Milton Township, Wayne County Enumerated 14 September 1850 Page 143B Lines 7-8, HH 151/152 John Harter 45/Male/Farmer/$2000/PA Mary Harter 38/Female/PA ------------------------------- 1860 Federal Census: Ohio Milton Township, Wayne County Enumerated 24 February 1860 page 217A Lines 5-7, HH 687/687 John Harter 55/Male/Farmer/$800-$115/PA Mary Harter 50/Female/PA Mary Loply 14/Female/OH --------------------------------- 1870 Federal Census: Ohio Doylestown Village, Chippewa Township, Wayne County Enumerated 2 July 1870 Page 107A Lines 20-21, HH 96/115 John Harter 65/Male/White/RetiredFarmer/$2500/PA Mary Harter 59/Female/White/KeepingHouse/PA ---------------------------------- 1880 Federal Census: Ohio Doylestown, ED 227, Wayne County Enumerated 14 June 1880 Page 88C Lines 38-39, HH 320/333 Mary Harter Head/White/Female/69/Widowed/KeepingHouse/PA/PA/PA Mary Lower Domestic/White/Female/16/Employee/OH/OH/PA -------------------------------- Tombstone Inscription Doylestown Lutheran Church Cemetery JOHN HARTER 1805 1877 Aged 72 y --------------------------- Researched and Submitted by Gloria Bushong
