Looking for info on Elizabeth Ovelman who married Johan Jacob Loy on 10/17/1807. Johan Jacob Loy b. Fred Co. Md 1776 d. 1870 Sady Grove Pa. Any help appreciated. Pete Jeschke

Hi, Pete, Here is PURE speculation on who Elizabeth Ovelman's father might have been: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/topic/colonial/census/1840/1840md.html SOURCE: 1840 Census of Pensioners Revolutionary or Military Services; With the names, ages, and places of residence, Returned by the marshalls of the several judicial districts; under The Act for Taking the Sixth Census -- George Ovelman (age) 81 George Ovelman 8th District Frederick This George Ovelman was born around 1759, making him about the right age to be the father of the bride when Elizabeth Ovelman married in 1807. A George Ovelman is mentioned at http://www.emmitsburg.net/archive_list/articles/history_articles/helmans/hel mans_contents.htm History of Emmitsburg, Md. by James A. Helman, and at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Strawn/military.htm (Major) George Ovelman (1758-1841) There is a George Ovelman, also in Fredrick county, MD, mentioned at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Strawn/phillips.htm marrying in 1805. Maybe a brother of your Elizabeth and maybe a son of the Major. You might find that someone has joined the Sons of the Revolution, the Sons of the American Revolution, or the Daughters of the American Revolution through descent from Major Ovelman. Good luck with your research, I am descended from Elizabeth (Ovelman) Loy's brother-in-law, FREDERICK 4 LOY, b. Bet. 1770 - 1773, Frederick County, Maryland; d. Bet. 1830 - 1840, Morrow Co., Ohio. This comes from http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~brloy/frederick.html where Elizabeth is mentioned as Elizabeth Ovalman Mark Bramlette ----- Original Message ----- From: <Pedro4457@aol.com> To: <LOY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 14, 2002 7:49 AM Subject: [LOY] Elizabeth Ovelman > Looking for info on Elizabeth Ovelman who married Johan Jacob Loy on > 10/17/1807. > Johan Jacob Loy b.
