    2. The Ezra Smith family from Freeport and other parts of Stephenson County also came from Centre County, PA; specifically Penn Hall in Gregg Township. Marcia Sherman

    3. Samuel Moyer (1820, Campbelltown, Lebanon Co PA -- 1893, Hiawatha, Brown Co KS) moved from Centre Co to a farm SW of Ridott later owned By Samuel Schleich and still later by his son Howard Schleich. He established the Ridott Cemetery when his wife died in 1867, and his body was returend from KS for burial there in the first row of graves at the eastern edge of the cemetery, nearest the dirt road. His son Philip Carmony Moyer, who had moved from Centre Co to Stepehnson Co in 1854, married Amanda Gross, dau of Samuel and Mary Gross, who moved from Union Co PA to a farm south southwest of Orangeville. There was, indeed, a great deal of such movement from Centre Co to Stephenson Co, something someone should some day record in print. I've heard of an entire Centre Co community who moved to Stephenson Co, even taking their pastor with them, but I can't name the place, either by its Centre Co or Stephenson Co name. I hope some day to publish regarding this family. Dr. Karl E. Moyer Lancaster PA
