Author: waynestauffer Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.lesher/456/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am looking for information about Sophia Lesher, who was my ggggrandmother. She married Phillip Fisher born abt 1801 in Germany. The Ohio death certificates of several of their children provided the information that their mother was born Sophia Lesher near Cumberland, PA. A search of early census records show 3 Lesher families in Cumberland around the time of Sophia's birth, all living in Hopewell. The heads of these families were David, Peter and John. They all seem to be sons of Casper Lesher. But I have been unable to determine which of these was Sophia's family, although I suspect it might be David. The 1820 census shows 2 females in the correct age range, but Peter's family also had a family in that range. But Sophia's oldest son was named David; my gggrandfather David Fisher born 1836 in PA and died 30 Sep 1869 in Bridgewater Township, Williams County. All their other children were born in Ohio, where they lived by 1841. The family eventually settled in Bridgewater Township, Williams County. Other children known to have survived to adulthood are: James born 30 Mar 1841 at Gangers in Richland County and died 30 Sep 1916 in Pioneer, Williams Co; Charlotte 17 Aug 1843 to 21 Nov 1921 and married David F. Stedman; and Sarah 05 Jan 1857 to 27 Jun 1929 who apparently never married. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hey you. I hope you are stepping down because you are just tired and not because of something more serious. I apologize for being lax in getting back with you on that dern 'what to do with the newsletters'. One of these days my life will get back to normal. I have been very busy with my mother; she's been ill and so it's been tough for the last several months. She will be moving to my sisters, who is better equipped to care for her (since I am still working, it's just been impossible). That is coming up at the end of the month. Anyway, what are you thoughts of still figuring out what or how to post them? I know the last time we chatted you were thinking about creating a new website. So the best to both of you and hope you are doing well. Take care, Mary

Hi, All- First let me say thanks for Roy Lesher for taking good care of the LESHER list and board over the years. I'll try to take good care of these resources so that they are here for all of you should you wish to discuss LESHER genealogical research. As for my own interest LESHER research -- it is my husband's mother's line: Marion (HOUCK) YOUNG. Marion's mother was Annie Nevada LESHER (b. 6 Dec. 1882) of Berks County, PA. Annie's father was Charles H. LESHER of Shoemakersville, and his father was William M. LESHER. His father Solomon LESHER was born in 1813 in Berks County and on and on back from there.

Dear Lesher subscribers. As you know, we don't see too many posts against this list; however, we have around 30 subscribers and they've all been a part of this "family" for a long time. Problem. While I see few postings recently, I have been blessed with two or three spam postings on a daily basis. I've taken the time to classify them as spam, updated the Rootsweb filter, and complained a couple of times to Rootsweb, but haven't seen much improvement. I'm sure proper maintenance of the Rootsweb spam filter will eventually get rid of most of the spam, but I have a number of other demanding internet activities and I'd like to step down as the list administrator. If there's a volunteer to take the list over, would you please send me an email to that effect? I'll stay with it for another 30 days and if there is no volunteer I will "orphan" the list at that time. Very best to all.

Trust the following info helps to clarify some of the comments I have recently read on the Heinrich LESHER lineage. I was able to compile the following unverified info re subject lineage over the past 10 years. Questions and/or corrections to my work would be appreciated. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Henry Lesher nee Heinrich Lescher is the first generation of this familyand our American progenitor who at 16 years emigrated to America from the Palatinate area (Zweibrucken) of Germany with two sisters. They wereorphans and traveled in the company of their Uncles Hans Lehman and Hans Hege and their families. There is reason to believe that immigrant Hans Lehman with his wife Anna Hege,sister of Hans Hege, and three children moved from Schaffhausen, Switzerland to Germany for a time uncertain prior todeparting Europe in 1727AD. The family of Hans Hege ,his wife Maria Lehman, thesister of Hans Lehman, and the three Lesher orphans also moved to Germany about the same time. Henry and his sisters were the children of Barbara Hege, sister of Hans Hege; and an unidentified Lesher. ( See the a! rticle on: Bishop Hans Lehman in the "Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage Quarterly"Volume III, Number 4 October 1980; see also "The History of Franklin County Pennsylvania" by Warner, Beers and Company, Chicago, 1887 and the "Genealogical Register of the Hege, Lesher and Lehman Families" by M. Kieffer and Company 1859, Chambersburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania.) We do not have a record of their journey from Switzerland to Germany to Rotterdam but one could speculate that they traveled many days as they gradually made their way down the Rhine River as so many of the emigrating Protestants had during the period 1700 - 1750. In Rotterdam,fifty three families (some 200 people) accompanied them for their long voyage aboardthe ship " James Goodwill," David Crockett,Captain, from Rotterdam, last of Falmouth or Portsmouth, England to Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvaniawhere they landed September 27 1727AD. From Philadelphia, Henry Lesher was found to have settled in RaphoTownship, ! Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He married a Maria, last name is not k nown, but she may also been a passenger with her family on the ship. On 10 December 1737, a warrant was granted Henry Lesher for a tract of landcalled "Leasures Quarter," consisting of 193 acres and the patent was issued in 1776. ( See book: Brethren in Christ History and Life," Volume 18, Number 1, April 1995, E. Morris Sider, Editor, Messiah College, Grantham, Pennsylvania 17027) In 1963, a bible reportedly printed in Zurich, Switzerland in 1538 and brought to America by Henry Lesher was donated to the Kittochtinny Historical Society, Franklin County, Pennsylvania from a Daniel G. H. Lesher, of Waynesboro,Pennsylvania. (See article in th "Record Herald" Waynesboro, April 21 1986 ) It is not known if family information is contained therein.
