This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CFB.2ACI/625.1.2.1 Message Board Post: Dear Betty, Unless there is mention of the children of John and Naomi Ridinger in the estate of the John who married Mary Jane, or it mentions the prior marriage in their marriage application, I cannot prove the two Johns are the same person. However, I think the 1900 census for gives enough proof (99%) for me to conclude that they are the same. Naomi's John was born 1820 and Naomi was born about the same time (1821). Peter was born Sep 1828 with Mary Jane Hess born Jul 1831. Both men marry women about their own age. This is normal for young men and women. In the 1850 and 1860 census' it lists John as born about 1820-21. Upon examining the 1860 census you will notice that list as a child of John and Naomi is a James A. Ridinger, age 6. That would mean that he was born about 1856. Also note the majority of their children would be in their twenties or thirties by the time of the 1880 census. Also, when I search the census for a John Ridinger born about 1820, there is only the one listed for any place in Maryland or Pennsylvania. Where is Peter's brother, if they are the same person? Now, I cannot explain where the family is in 1870, but the 1880 census shows a John Ridinger, born 1820, maried to Mary J. Ridinger with some of the children of Peter and hers living with them. The 1880 census shows the older children of John and Naomi's are married and living on their own. Now, if you will check the 1900 census for John and Mary Jane, you will see two very important clues. First is the question of the number of years they were married. Note that John's first answer was 58 years, making it 1842. This is the same year that John and Naomi were married. Looking at the corrected number for John and Mary Jane, it now says they were married 40 years (1860?). I believe that at 80 years of age, John was a little confused with what was asked. Otherwise this (the 40 years) would disprove this Mary Jane being the widow of Peter as Peter was still alive in 1870. Yet we know from the 1880 census that it was the same Mary Jane as Peter's children were living with them. Finally, you will see that there is a James A. Ridinger living with them. He was the son of the head of the household, not the step-son, and it lists his birth as May 1856! I cannot find a James for Peter and Mary Jane, but John and Naomi did have a son named James A born in 1856! Again, I cannot prove 100% that the two John's are one and the same, but I am sure I could make a good case for it in a court of law. :-) Clayton Spencer

I found John & Naomi on the 1850 and 1860 census in Taneytown. Was hoping to find some relationship to our family. Samuel was the son of Peter and Catharine (Shriner) Ridinger with siblings: Lydia Ann who married Joseph Walker Witherow, John who married Mary Jane Hess (widow of his brother, Peter, however have not ruled out that he MAY have also been married first to a Naomi...no proof. HOWEVER none of the children listed are with him in same household in the 1880 census altho they may very well be on their own by then), Elizabeth who married James Heck, Peter married Mary Jane Hess, Rachel married Charles Mentzel, Isaac N. married Susan E., Rebecca J. and Mary Catherine died single in their early 20's. If you can confirm a connection would sure appreciate hearing! Always glad to hear of another 'cousin'. Betty

Len, The Holy Trinity Episcopal Church was located in Eldersburg and it's cemetery still is. There is a group dedicated to the preservation of the graveyard - they have a web site at http://www.dvetter.com/OldTrnty/ and a list of those interred at http://www.dvetter.com/OldTrnty/burials.html . Hope this helps someone. Phil Stackhouse lpeaston@adelphia.net wrote: >Am looking for final resting place of ancestor that died in 1839 in the vicinity of present day Sykesville.

Louisa Catherine Caskey was born 12/28/1828 and baptized 30/30/1829 at St John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Littlestown, PA, married 2/24/1848 at Gettysbury Methodist Church to Samuel Ridinger.

Surnames: Berkebile / Purkepile / Purkey / Birkenbeul Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CFB.2ACI/624 Message Board Post: In the book “Pennsylvania Births – York County 1730 –1800” John T. Humphrey, Larjon & Company, Inc. Washington, D.C., 1998; I came across these two birth records on page 164 Surname Heckeleible Child Birth or Baptism Father Mother Church Andreas 15 Jun 1756 Andreas Not Given 3 Maria Catherine 1 Jan 1759 Andreas Not Given 3 Where the church is listed on page vii as: Records of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, Hanover; birth records from 1742 are included. The question I pose to fellow Berkebile/ Purkepile / Birckenbuel researchers and others who may know or have an interest. Could this possibly be Andreas (Andru) Birkenbeil’s children. It is known that Andru had a son named Andreas, I had not heard or have not seen any reference to a daughter named Maria Catherine. Possibly she did not make past childhood. If you look at the surname the logic I applied is as follows: The first letter and third letter could have been distorted in transcription or translation.

I posted this request below, asking for a photo from 1830's or 40's It should be 1930's or 40's sorry Nancy Would any of you wonderful list members have a photo of Hampstead High School from around 1830's or 40's, I'm guessing it has changed over the years. Thank you Nancy jan1940@wpa.net
