I have been searching for some time for any information on Margaret Ann Byers and her family and have been able to find none. I'm hoping that someone on the list can help me out. Any information and/or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Here's what I have: Margaret Ann Byers: Born 1838 or 1840 in either Mercersburg, Pennsylvania or Green County Maryland?) Information from the 1870 census says that her parents were born in Virginia. Married John Wesley Pass (born 1834 or 1836 in Mercersburg,Pennsylvania) on June 14 1853 in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania. Died sometime after 1882. Margaret and John had the following children: Mary Alice, Anna Laura, Susan Blanche, James L., William (Willie), John Henry, Virginia P., Jennie, Howard J., Harriet (Hattie) Elizabeth, Carrie May, Charles H., Jacob Howard, Margaret Arvilla, Winifred V. George W. The last five were born in Illinois in LaSalle and Livingston County. The others are believed to have been born in Pennsylvania. I know nothing else about Margaret except that she had a brother Elia or Elijah (the handwriting on the census was very illegiblez) (b. 1851 in Pennsylvania) that was living with John and Margaret in Peru, LaSalle County, Illinois in 1870. I would like to find out about her parents and siblings. If anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciated it. Thanks in advance! Christine Rossmann
