Faries etc. Folks, I have spent the last two days going over all my paperwork. In the process I found that the spellings are different but the people are the same! And for that Phariss person who insists that we do not connect; I would like for you to check these names out: Agnes Pharas & John Kell married 09/15/1757 at Holy Trinity (or Old Swedes) Church New Castle Co, DE Ann Pharies, female, Christened 01/12/1730 First Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, Pa. Joseph Pharies Pharis, Emelie born June 16,1839 Dauphin Co., Pa. parents: Benjamin Franklin Ferris & Lorintha Elizabeth Dixon Emelie Pharis & Joseph Bamberger Parthemer married 12/22/1853 in Dauphin Co., Pa. Pharis, Mary & John Knight May 8, 1732 Philadelphia, Pa. Pharis, Mary & John Boyd cr. 1797 Westmoreland Co., Pa. Pharis, Nelly (christened) Dutch Reformed Church Adams, Straban Twp. Conewago parents: Joseph Pharis & Martha Dennis Pharris, William & Hannah McElnay married March 14,1815 York Co., Pa. So, as you can see; none of us should cast off the rest due to spelling because there are a number of spellings but in cross references they are the same people living in the same places. Just a little note for all you researchers out there from me :} Carole Faries Werner
