Hi Pat, You and I have shared some Kitzmiller info and maybe some Bosley? Evans etc. However I have almost nothing on the Friend family.

This was Riley Paugh's 2nd wife. I knew Riley personally. My parents took me to visit in Mt. Storm, Grant Co, WV when I was a child and we stayed at Riley's place many times. His 1st wife, Bertha Lillian "Betsy" Bosley, died in 1959. I never knew Susan Friend.

Whew! I have about a gazillion names in my Family Tree Maker. Finishing Bender and have the Benedict Miler branch to go. I'd like to make it available to you for review and correction before I finalize it. How do I do that? Bettie

You fortunate people, seeing the Northern Lights. Here I am living in Michigan and it was too cloudy for us to see them. Be thankful. Glenn in Clawson On Fri, 31 Oct 2003 22:01:50 -0700 MDGARRET-D-request@rootsweb.com writes:

Yes Pat it is genealogy and some day will be part of the legend of the Thompson-Friend family. I have collected legends as part of the genealogy that I have gathered on my husbands family. It helps us to know more about them.

Mary Jane Dugan, Please contact me offline at fuzzylee@cfl.rr.com so I can send you the picture of James O'Brien.

It sure IS genealogy... you are your grandchildren's ancestor! And isn't t nice they will remember you, and as they share the story of the Northern Lights with their grandchildren, they can tell them they watched them with Grandma Pat! -------Original Message------- Side Note: Tonight in Frederick County, Maryland we saw the Northern Lights and as fate would have it, I had all three grandchildren here to show them the lights and tell them how many moons (I told them years, but I won't post that here) it has been since I saw them last in Garrett County.

I have connections to Theodore Knepp also -----Original Message----- From: auntnikkib@aol.com [mailto:auntnikkib@aol.com] Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 2:15 PM To: MDGARRET-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MDGARRET] KNEPP Mary Jane, I have little to go on on my Knepp side really. My great Grandmother was Sadie Knepp, daughter of Theodore Knepp and Catherine Martha Matthias. Theodores father was Martin Knepp and we believe his mothers name to be Sarah Gower. Martin and Sarah had seven Children. I do have limited info on a few of those children. 1.Henry Knepp b.abt 1849 (I have him with 4 children) m. Susan Baker 2.Christiana Knepp b.abt 1851 3.Theodore b.15 april 1855 (he and Catherine had 13 children) m. Catherine Matthias 4.Ann Knepp b. abt 1856 5.Elizabeth Knepp b. abt 1857 6. Samuel Knepp b. aug 1860 7. Ellen Knepp b. abt 1864 I can not find anything on Sarahs family. And what little I have on Martin shows he was born in Germany. Now, Catherine Mattias had a brother who married a Knepp. John Samuel Matthias married Emma Knepp. That Emma's father was Peter Knepp. He was also born in Germany. So I believe there may be a connection with Martin Knepp, and Emmas father Peter Knepp. However Peter was born in 1841. Martin was born in 1818. And now you know most of what I know about my early KNEPP family. If you know ANYTHING that might give me any clues please let me know!!!! Thanks!!!
