I'm very behind in keeping up with my email, but I presently have Ruth C. Snyder's book on the "Fosher Girls . . . daughters of Daniel Fosher and Marillis (Eckel)Fosher (1785-1970)" [Lincoln, NE: self-published(?), 1982] on InterLibraryLoan for another week or so. I would be glad to check any info available. It's not very well organized or documented and not very sporadic on ancestors. (She has Elizabeth Landes's father --Henry-- but not the mother, for example. She has another half-page on the family of a John Jacob Landes, b Germany 1696, and married Margaret Naas, daughter of John Naas. But does not tie in this family with that of Henry Landes or explain why she's including the John Jacob Landes family. She Includes a good deal of family tradition and has tried to check info for accuracy etc. I'm interested in the family because Daniel Fosher/Fascher's wife (Marilla/Marillis Eckle--various spellings) was the sister of Elizabeth Eccle/Eagle, etc., who married Mathias Sni/yder and moved to Botetourt Co., VA, c1785, about whom I've written on this forum.

His parents were Henry Landes/wife Elizabeth Naas. John Jacob Landes mush have been the previous generation - immigrant - I do not have that far back (in my Four Mile Church book). Elizabeth Landes, wife of John Fosher, was the daughter of Henry Landes (1760-1834) - her mother was Susannah - but I have only Susannah's given name. John and Elizabeth Fosher wer part of the migration to Putnam Co IN - the Ladoga Churches, about 1825. Elizabeth died in 1833. John Fosher was a son of Daniel Fosher (1762-1849) and Marillis Eckel (1764-1832) - these then would be John's sisters? - he had six of them (there were 4 boys). Susannah Fosher married Joseph Pagin (of Fort Kaskaskia IL) and went to South Bend IN. Mary Fosher married John Hale and went to Putnam County. Elizaabeth Fosher died at 7 years old - in Virginia. Catherine Fosher married Stephen Hicks and stayed in Virginia. Saloma Fosher married John Drook, and went to Grant Co IN. Anna Fosher married William Stanton and went to South Bend IN. Are these the "Fosher Girls"? Merle C Rummel
