Patti you posted this August 5, 2001 Hi, I am looking for Sarah J. Mateer, b.12October1850 in Silver Springs, Cumberland County, Penna. Her parents: Samuel H. Mateer, b.13Dec1826 and Maragret Fought, b.1828. Any info would be helpful--just getting started on this branch of my husband's family tree. Thanks, Patti ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I answered you August 21, 2001 referring to your earlier posting - I think it was in 2000. And I answered: So good to hear from you - where did you see my note? On the Clark roots list? I assume so - and in any event I am going to copy that list because every one is interested when we make a connection like this. For the same reason I am copying the other lists. It remains to be seen if this is really a hit. I will provide a few facts and if you confirm then we will go from there. We have Sarah Mater in her father's household in the 1860 and 1870 census of Franklin County, Columbus, Ohio. She is 10 and 20 years old respectively and she was born in Pennsylvania. Her father is Samuel Mateer. He married his wife Rebecca Shawley (Sholley and var. in PA) in September 29, 1859. So Rebecca is not Sarah's mother. Living next door in 1870 is John Clark, 26 years old. He is in the household of Joseph and Mary Fuller. John was probably working for the Pennsylvania railroad in one way or another - I cannot decipher his occupation- Jour Hxxxx Maker ? But many of his neighbors worked for the railroad. Samuel was a stationary engineer, no doubt for the Pennsy. Joe Fuller was a locomotive builder. They lived about a block away from the Pennsy yards in downtown Columbus. Our Uncle Ivan Laube's second wife, Ethel, knew Sally Clark and her husband John. Sarah Clark was Ivan Laube's aunt and I believe Ethel and Ivan made that connection. Also my cousin Pat recalls visiting Sally Clark about 1940. Sally lived on probably 5th Avenue, almost to Grandview. Do you have a marriage license or date and place of marriage? We have Samuel Mateer marrying Rebecca Shawley in Crawford County, Ohio - he signed his name Samuel Mater and we are confident we have him in as Samuel Mater in Silver Springs Township, Cumberland County, PA. in 1850. His wife's name is Margaret and a John Fought (we think her aged father. He was a retired farmer and owned the large farm, where they lived) is living in Samuel's household. There are no children - we assume Sarah was born after the census was taken in 1850. Do you have her birth month? We have the Sholley and Egolff line back into Germany. We also have Samuel's Mater line back for at least one generation and maybe more - we are working on the Cumberland, Dauphin County, Pa. tribe of Maters. We would be very interested in anything about her religion or her nationality. Do you have her death certificate? What did she look like? Any photos? We have family photos, I think she is in some of them. - Our family has lost track of her and we would like to renew connections. If this proves out your husband and I have Samuel Mateer as a common greatgrandparent. Samuel is my great-grandfather and he would be your husband's great-great-grandfather so your husband would be my be second cousin, once removed. I would like very much to make his acquaintance by e-mail. We can exchange personal information privately if you and he are willing. We are so very pleased that you are working on this line. Best regards Hal ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well that was year ago. What happened - I never heard from you. If you decided this was not the right line let us know. Anyhow good luck wherever you are. Hal end of August 21, 2001 posting - perhaps you did not receive it? ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` I now have a few things firmed - I think the middle initial J in Sally/Sarah's name is for Jane? I have her born in Harrisburg not on the Fought farm in Silver Spring. And I not able to prove that her mother was Margaret whoever. It now seems that her mother was Mary A. Biesly. And I have Sally/Sarah's birthrate as October 15 not the 12th. I wonder where you got that date? I have her death date as March 20, 1940. Of course you are welcome to use this info anyway you want, but it would be helpful if we could work together. For one thing it helps prevent out of date data being kept alive. I would very much like to keep this line open - and look forward to your reply. Best regards Hal

Surnames: Clarke Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/mBJ.2ACEB/1244 Message Board Post: I am trying to get information regarding my grandparents Rose Clarke & Bernard Clarke. They had eight children Ellen, Peggy, Loretta, James, William, Bernard, Raymond, ?

As for Pennsylvania, family story of the Perry County, Ohio, Clark's was that Thomas and Hannah Moore Clark came from Greene County. There are several Thomas Clark's in Fayette County. Their son William said he was born December 21, 1832, in Fayette County. Thomas was born January 28, 1800 and Hannah Moore November 4, 1802. They must have married - probably in the SW corner of PA about 1822. They were in Perry County, Ohio, in 1834. Thomas was a stone mason and he may have followed the road improvements that were taking place along the National Pike from that corner of PA and then Zane's Trace, which passed through Mt. Perry, needed bridges over culverts and runs - where stone was the choice. Hannah Moore was probably from Methodist parents who Baptized her in that belief. Kathy do you have anything that would fit into that picture?

Patti - thanks for the note - the salmon was well received -- yuo asked about cousin relationships: ths is the key - first cousins have grandparents in common (you know that) second cousins have great-grandparents in common third cousins have great-great-grandparents in common now note the pattern. Add one to the number of greats and presto you have it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ once removed if Pat and Sam, jr have Pete for a great-great-great-great-grandparent in common what is their relationship? Fifth cousins. But Sam, jr says no. He says, "Pete is my great-great-great-great-great-grandparent." Now what? Well Sam's father, Sam Sr, must have had Pete as a great-great-great-great-grandparent. That is Sam Sr is Pat's fifth cousin. So Sam jr is Pat's fifthcousin-once removed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is a lot like other of life's problems - you must manipulate what facts you have into a form that will help you see the answer. When it gets more complicated than that - I call then distant cousins and forget it. regards Hal

OK thinking out loud - your W. H. Clark's his son was born 15 Feb 1862 so W, H. could have been born about 1840, not much later, but maybe earlier. Now the Ohio family we have did include William D. Clark Born: December 21, 1832 in Fayette County, Pennsylvania Died: Aft. 1887 in Illinois, near Champaign. So he died in the wrong place and may have the wrong middle initial. He did have son William A. Born: January 8, 1882. But he doesn't fit. We also have William Holmes Clark Born: October 25, 1927 in Hopewell Township, Perry County, Ohio, on his father's farm. He is my brother-in-law and is living in Tacoma, Washington. In this ocean of Clarks we have only a handful of castaways. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynn N.

Dear Cousin Vicki - apparently you and my wife, Betty Jean Clark of Glenford, Ohio, aka BJ, have Thomas and Hannah as common grandparents. That is wonderful. You are the first of their surviving descendants, except for immediate family, that we have had the pleasure of meeting. Let us get acquainted. Thomas and Hannah are my wife's g-g-granparents. If you are of her generation then you are third-cousins - if you are younger than BJ then you are once or twice removed. At a recent luncheon with my Lauve first-cousins, omne of my cousins said, "Thank God for cousins." As you get into the last half century of your life on this earth, and have no parents, no aunts, no uncles - that comment is very meaningful. And of course for those of us writing about our ancestors there is always the chance that a cousin will know something we don't. Here is a bit of what we know. We have written a book about Thomas and Hannah's Perry County descendants. We determined in 1984 to write whatever we could find and add a bit of historicaly correct fiction to their story. We wrote for our children and close cousins.We have eight grandparents and we have writen a book about six of them. We have all the data we are going to get for the seventh, one of my grandparents, and we are putting it together. The eighth is a Campbell grandmother - wife of Elmer Elsworth Clark, grandson of Thomas and Hannah. The bare bones of the Campbell line have long been documented back to the first of the clan to enter Guernsey County in 1804, from memory. We have added info on a couple of spouses. But that last book will give us a chance to reintroduce some early Ohio History - The Clark story was our first. It has several serious errors in it. We did some guessing and did not properly indicate that we were guessing. As we went along we came to realize that what we write is not solely for our children's entertainement but that we must clearly indicate when we are making an assumption without reasonable documentation. (If one only publishes what can be documented by a first source - there would be very little published - and since census eumerators and ministers who could not spell very well - much of that so called documented datga would be in accurate. We have no documented facts concerning Thomas and Hannah before they came to Madison Township about 1833, son James was born in Ohio 1834. Let us find out what you may have - have you seen " Portrait and Biographical Album of Champaign, Illinois - 1887." Celia G. Snyder - [email protected] sent that to us several years ago. Thomas died August 9, 1854 and is buried in Mt. Perry. There are two dates of birth. Birth location not given. For some reason unknown to us Hannah sold the farm and took her minor children to Champaign, Illinois. She never married but was a very succesfull farmer. Seems immposible - we take our hat off to that lady. But why did she not stay Ohio? Her married son John Milton was quite well off and her married daughter Margaret Melick was also quite well off. We have speculated but leave that for an other time. OK.. I have some wonderful Lake Michigan Coho Salmon - caught on my 83rd Birthday, june 30, and my grandson's birthday - four miles off downtown Chicago. They have been iced down and frozen and are as fresh as the minute we caught them. I am going to call myh daughter in Winettka and tell her what I am doing- then I am going to smoke most of the batch and grill enough for supper. Cousin Vicky - let us hear from you. Vanessa is a jewel. Our very best personal regarda Hal and BJ we live in Chapel Hill, NC. send me you telephone number and I will call you some weekend...
