Yager and Barbara Carpenter/Zimmerman were married in PA. I do not know the date, but one child was born in 1830. I am descended from their son Samuel H Yager, born 1835 in Lancaster Co., PA . Thanks for the breakdown on the GS cookies. Janice

It's been a long time since we have been reminded to make sure we change the subject line to what the new message is really about. After tiring of walking the old homestead to buy Girl Scout Cookies, I began trashing the postings due to lack of time. I accidentally opened one and found a wonderful will about a person that I had been wondering about! The person's name was not in the subject line. I also am guilty of forgetting and just hitting Reply and going at it on another subject. Thanks, Cary
