Does he have sisters by the names of Ann(a) (Rebecca) or Nancy? My records are a llittle confusing, and I do not have Nancy as sister to Rebecca, but I have both as daughters of Martin on different tree lines. (Both married Gaeners.) I have Sevilla, Phoebe, Epaline, Sarah E. and Susan as siters to Rebecca. By the way, my aunt gave to me a glass vase from the 1893 World's Fair which is personalized with the name of Annie A.Garner. Do you have any idea who this Annie could have been?

Wayne Bittinger's book about the Bittinger families lists a Henry Spiker, son of Adam Spiker and Annie Reckner (they married 1811). There are no dates given for Henry, just that he married Lavina?, Henry's brother Michael was said to have been born about 1813, so that is the only guide to a time line. There is more information about Adam and his family. Could this be the Henry Spiker you are looking for, you didn't give any dates. Pat-T

Does anyone have information regarding the marriage of Henry SPIKER and Jennie Mae SHROUT (Jennie was b. Preston Co., WV, she d. in Florida). Jennie had previously been married to Jacob "Jake" Bittinger, also Samuel Lynch. I am looking for the names of Henry's parents and the date of Henry and Jennie's marriage. Also, any other information available regarding Henry. Thank you for any assistance offered.

I am looking for information on the Tighe family in Garrett Co. Specifically Patrick and Helen Tighe, who lived in Avilton in the late 1800s. Anyone researching this family or other Tighe families in the area?
