Pat - you referenced a book about the Bittinger family - do you have this? Can you look up something for me? In my files I have it spelled 2 ways - is this the same family? - and are these names correct? Bittinger, Hannah - she is not my relative, but the mother of a Sarah Jane Mangus who married into my Rodeheaver family. Bittenger, Sadie Ellen or Sarah - (father is Alexander) who married Edward Ruthrus Mason son of Hester Alice McCroby Bittenger, Gorman Ray - (father is Francis) married Helen Loraine Merrill of my McRobie family Bittenger, Clara - who married Ernest J McRobie Sr -------Original Message------- From: MDGARRET-L@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 11:21:49 To: MDGARRET-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MDGARRET] Spiker, Shrout 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.
