Christine, Some info regarding Lonaconing, AKA Coney. Although it is a small town there are dozens of areas of the town known by other names. Jackson is the name of a street in Coney, as well as a mountain close by. There are areas called Scotch Hill, Big Vein Hill, Charlestown, Beechwood, Pink Row (where I lived growing up) and many more. All are part of Coney. There is a really good library downtown with a history room. I would assume you could find general info there. Allegany College (I'm not sure of the proper name these days) is located in Cumberland and has a great collection of genealogy records including the Allegany Co. Genealogy Library. Your folks might possibly be buried in the Old Coney Cemetery located in Knapps Meadow or Oak Hill Cemetery in Coney. There is also a Catholic Cemetery in Coney. I don't live in Coney and only go back every few years. You can contact me offline if you need more info. Regards, John Keyes Jonesboro, AR In a message dated 1/8/2011 10:08:32 P.M.

The couple immigrated with children Frederick (b. 1835), Thomas (b. 1837), Mary (b. 1842) and John (b. 1847). Another daughter, Ann, stayed in Wales with her husband Elijah GOULD, and then followed the family to Lonaconing in about 1865. Their children were Mary, Elizabeth, Sarah, Elijah, James, Ruth, Millicent, and Olive May. The oldest BALL son, Frederick, married Anne NAIR in 1860 and then moved to Iowa. The daughter Mary BALL married James FURLONG and moved to Pennsylvania. The youngest BALL son, John, married Eliza WRIGHT and stayed in Lonaconing. I have a copy of a will written by Edward BALL dated 1870. He bought land from the Georges Creek Coal and Iron Company in 1867 - the will says the land is in the village of Jackson, but all the census records say he lives in Lonaconing. I live in Pennsylvania and I'm new to Maryland research. I'm thinking of taking a trip to Lonaconing and starting to plan where I need to go. I'd like to find: 1) the marriage certificate for my direct ancestors Mary BALL (b. 1842) and James FURLONG who probably married in December 1860 2) the death certificate and burial for Edward Frederick BALL and his wife Mary BALL. They are both in the 1880 census but not in the 1900 - other than that, I don't know the date of death or place of burial.

Dwelling 351 on that page of the census is John McMahon and his family. Can anyone decipher what his job was? It begins with a "G" but I cannot figure out what it is. Also the children are Bridget, Thomas,, Mary, ????? and Peter. Unknown child is a boy. Dwelling #353 is another John McMahon age 30 who has a job that also begins with a "G" but I am not sure it is the same as the the earlier John's job. This family eventually ended up in Allegheny County but I do not know where. Daughter Bridget is my great grandmother. Any help with these questions will get this new year off to a great start for me.

Thank you for looking and yes indeed, the Addison Cem. is filled with the Augustines. I have not been there yet but I have the location of his grave from his burial card I was able to get online. His DOD is June 3, 1922 and he died in Ohio and was sent back to Confluence (according to paperwork) but buried in Addison. Thanks! In a message dated 1/5/2011 5:20:15 P.M.

Also looking for information on Catherine Caton or Katon Resh. She was married to Matthias Resh and lived in Accident area of Garrett Co., Maryland. Matthias immigrated from Germany around 1850 and I am not sure if Catherine came with him or she was born here. In some census records I have found, I have conflicting info. some say she was born in Pennsylvania others Germany. But, looking for her parents or siblings. Thanks

Thanks Karen, that is a good idea...I'll try that.

You evidently have to go through channels to get in and that equired some govt. business. Anyway, the item mentioned his going and who was nvolved in getting him in. If you know where your relative was at the time efore his admittance, you might stumble across a mention in a column from this lace in a major newspaper of the area. I know genealogical research isn't heap. When nothing is found and money is spent it is doubly disappointing. That s why the kindness of strangers is so welcome.

It seems possible that Francis and John Perrin (son of John Perrin, Jr. and living near Flintstone in 1800) both went west together before 1806, with John ending up in Franklin County and Francis just to the north in Delaware County.

I think I have covered all the databases that are out there even the ones that I got rooked into paying for (not ancestry or footnote i love those they have alot of information)....that's why I'm trying now to reach out on the web hoping to run into an ancestor that might now... By the way...my son lives in Lakewood! We live about 45 minutes East of him not in Cuyahoga though but on the line of Trumbull/geauga County. Thanks again!

You seemed to have covered all the bases. I just had one other thought, I found a reference to a relative of mine in the newspaper item when he was sent to a home like this. You evidently have to go through channels to get in and that required some govt. business. Anyway, the item mentioned his going and who was involved in getting him in. If you know where your relative was at the time before his admittance, you might stumble across a mention in a column from this place in a major newspaper of the area. I know genealogical research isn't cheap. When nothing is found and money is spent it is doubly disappointing. That is why the kindness of strangers is so welcome. This list is a good one for responding with "food for thought."
