Posting this again, don't think the other one ever got posted. Looking for information on the family of CHRISTINA LOYD, parents, siblings, dob, dod, etc. Would like to know the association of this LOYD family with ROBINSON's. She and a JACOB ROBINSON were witnesses to the marriage of JOSHUA ROBISON and MARY ALICE SINNETT on 12-31-1871. Thanks Pat

Pat, I see that Tasker is one of your names. My great grandmother is Mary Jane Tasker. I see that you have the name Murphy. Do you have any record of a Keith Murphy that married Elenor Stonebraker? Elenor is the daughter of George and Elva Stonebraker from Kitzimiller and Shallmar Maryland.

I found this bio and thought the lady who has been asking about the Drake family could use it. Drake, W. S. Richhill Township W. S. Drake, merchant and dealer in agricultural implements, Jacksonville, Penn., was born in Morgan Township, February 11, 1838. He is a son of Francis and Eliza (Stewart) Drake, who were respectively natives of New Jersey and Washington County, Penn., and of English, Scotch and German origin. His father was a chairmaker and painter, and was also skilled in other trades. He died February 20, 1878. the subject of this sketch is the oldest in a family of five children, four of whom are living. He was raised in this county, receiving his education in the common schools of Morgan, Jefferson and Richhill townships. He taught for several years, and in 1860, being desirous of seeing more of the world, he went to Texas, where he again engaged in teaching school until 1862. He then enlisted in the Twenty-ninth Texas Cavalry, was Orderly Sergeant, and served until 1865. While his service was in the Confederate Army, yet at heart he was a Union man. In 1865, he, with about one-hundred others, started for the Union lines and were captured and returned, and were in prison when the war closed. After the close of the war Mr. Drake again taught school for a year in Denton County, Texas, and in 1866 returned to Richhill Township, for four years engaging in farming and carpenter work. In 1870 he formed his present partnership with Perry Sowers, dealing in general stock, wool and farming implements. In 1861 Mr. Drake married Julia E., daughter of George C. and Julia E. (Ohlhausen) Parker. Her father was born in Virginia and her mother near Philadelphia, Penn. They were of English and German origin. Mr. and Mrs. Drake have six children - Anna, wife of Silas Jennings; May, John, W. C., George and Emma. Mr. Drake is a Democrat and a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity.

Sam, Solomon and Jonathan were twins. Don't you find it interesting that the percentages are different. I just don't know how else we'll ever solve this controversay.

I recently had the opportunity to tour the Library of Congress in Washington DC. Our Guide informed me that the Library of Congress is second only to Salt Lake City and the LDS for it's genealogy collections and research materials. Here is their website, enjoy surfing. http://www.loc.gov/rr/genealogy/ Linda Harden-Lantz [email protected] And remember: life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

Hello list, I am researching the Solomon Durst family and I recently came into some information on his family Bible. I was told by a fellow researcher that the Bible had been in the possession of Bert Butler in the early 30's. I would love to contact this family to see if it would be possible to get a copy of the title page and family pages to use as proof of lineage for my DAR application. If anyone on the list knows this family I would love to hear from you. Feel free to contact me off list if you would prefer. Thanks for any information you can share. Sandy
