She sure was. There is something interesting because the record I have notes that she died in 1814. I need to look at the Keedy cemetery records. Here is the distribution to the children of David Furry: Mary Keedy 84.18 Elizabeth Hill 84.18 Magdalena Keedy 84.18 John Furry heirs (crossed out) Catharine Furry heirs 84.18 Barbara Bleecher 84.18 Nancy Neikirk 84.18 John's heir's received separate amounts. This distibution copy is dated 9 March 1824. > In 1824 Barbara BLEECHER is an heir to David FURRY.

Lauren - I think that some of this is probably my Blecker/Blecher family. I show John and Barbara in the 1810 Census of Lower Antietam with 1 son under 10 and 2 daughters under 10. She died in 1814 - maybe in childbirth? John is supposed to be buried in Keedy cemetery so he never left Washington County. In 1810 they were 2 houses away from the Lantz family and the Bratners were on the same census page - so they certainly were in the same area. Daniel Keedy married Mary Furry and John Keedy married Martha (sisters). So it appears they were a very family oriented group : ) I am out of the loop - I descend from a different sister.

I was interested in finding more about the Samuel BLECHER who married Susan BRANTNER 7/10/1840. The earliest marriage in the index is for a BLECKER in 1832 - the rest are 1840's. A John and Samuel Blecher were heirs to Elizabeth LANTZ in 1810. John BLACKER/Barb. FURRAY, 4/6/1804, Samuel BLACKER/Peggy Carver 5/3/1811 are earlier entries. In 1805 _____ BLEACHER's children were heirs to Jacob Houser. They were Magdalena, Barbara, John, Caty, Barbara and Mary. In 1835 there is an estate for John BLECHER and all his heirs are POFFENBERGERS. In 1835 there is an estate for John BLECKER Adm. Jacob; widow, Leah HUFFER, Catherine MULENDORE, Jacob, Samuel, Maria A., Susanna, William, Elizabeth, Barbara and Margaret. Leah's marriage announcement indicates they lived in Pleasant Valley. Leah Blecher and John Huffer's descendants are in a Bible in the Washington County Free Library or in Fuller's publication. Leah was born in 1805. In 1824 Barbara BLEECHER is an heir to David FURRY. You're right - the name is all over the place - ancient German surname curse. I was hoping someone had thoroughly researched this name - maybe they'll pop up yet.

Roger - I show the marriage record as "Blecher", In his will - David Furry called him: "my beloved son-in-law John Plecher". I have never been able to find more information on their family.

Hello. My gggrandfather lived in Hagerstown, Wasington County, MD. Dont Know the years tho. But believe a MACK family lived close to my MORRISON family/ Any and all info needed. Thank you. Viola.

If anyone is researching the surname BLECHER in Washington County, I would be interested in hearing from you. Lauren Brantner

Carolyn: I see you are in contact with Lauren so you are in good hands, however I noted several thiings that you said. First of all Washington Co., Md. is next door to Frederick Co., but to the West of it., Hagerstown sits within a few miles of the Pennsyvania border from Greencastle, Pa.. Now this is not precise, but generally speaking the frontier at the time of the American revolution was not as far West as you are thinking for several reasons one being that Lord Penn honored the Indian lands and tried to keep settlers out, seconding the French & Indian wars did the same thing and thirdly the American revolution did the samething as the British had their indian allies attack the frontier settlements and many pulled back to safer areas. Their was an American Ranger Regiment over 600 strong which tried to protect the settlers in Va, W. Va., Md. & Pa.and they were streched thin.Under the circumstancse I doubt if you are going to find much info for this period of time for Greene & Fayette Counties.

I hear you - I have a Schmidt/Smith line I'm holding in reserve too. I have the marriage license index for Frederick Co from 1778-1810 and there are no Denny entries there during that period. Washington Co. was carved out of Frederick County in 1776. There is a 1776 census of Frederick Co. I do not have anywhere close to all the source materials for Washington County - I am sort of in a certain time frame for when my husband's ancestors were there in the resources I own. You might check Scharf's History of Western MD and Williams' History of Washington County - those are both good places to look. It doesn't hurt to check MD/WV/PA counties around Washington County. They still call it the tri-state area. Lauren Carolyn Lacey wrote: >Thanks, Lauren for the information on the MILLERS and DENNYS. I know next to nothing about Sarah Miller.

Thanks, Lauren for the information on the MILLERS and DENNYS. I know next to nothing about Sarah Miller. All the information on James Denny puts him in PA Greene county and Fayette, except that his oldest son was supposed to be born in Hagerstown, MD in 1782.

There are only two Denny grooms in the marriage index for the county - 1799-1860 DENNY, Neale/Mary EICHELBERGER 2/25/1810 Joseph/Harriet BURROWS 6/16/1812 The only bride in the index is Julia Ann DENNY/John GORMAN 6/14/1838 In1822 and later in the newspaper extracts there are references to a Rev. David Denny who married people at Chambersburg, PA. I didn't find any Denny listings from 1799 up til then in the extracts that I have. In the estate distributions: MILLER, John. Adm. Samuel 12/19/1808; widow, Samuel, Sarah, Catherine, Elizabeth, Jacob, Magdalena, John. T 1161.13.1 1/2 [pounds, schillings and pence] This is the only Sarah Miller in the estate distributions. There are six Sarah Millers in the marriage license index; you should be aware of that (none married to a Denny). From the 1783 Tax List for Washington County there are these Millers: Adam Miller. WA Salisbury and Conocheague p. 46. MSA S1161-11-3. 1/4/5/54 Andrew Miller. WA Elizabeth p. 27. MSA S1161-11-4. 1/4/5/54 Andrew Miller. Notes: Waggoner. WA Elizabeth p. 27.

I believe Elizabeth-Town is an early name for Hagerstown - the names refer to land parcels. Are you sure your Sarah Miller is from Hagerstown? MSA refers to Maryland State Archives sources.

Hi Jo, I was wondering where your William Jones 'line' went to? Did he go down towards Virginia, South Carolina, into Tennessee. Then his descendents move into Missouri and Arkansas? Brenda

The Torchlight Nov. 16, 1824 "Died early yesterday morning at house of John Gruber, senior, editor of the German paper in this town, Mrs. Christiana Gruber, in the 87th year of her age." [Is this his mother - see his Dad below] The Maryland Herald Oct. 9, 1821 "Died in this town, Thurs last, of a pulmonary complaint, Miss Theresa Gruber, dau of John Gruber, Printer, in the 23d year of her age." Also an account in The Torchlight - indicates she was buried in the German Presby burying ground. The Maryland Herald Nov. 4, 1823 "Died Fri night last in the 23d year of her age, Miss Matilda Gruber, dau of John Gruber; interred in German Reformed burying ground;' discourse delivered by Rev. J. R. Reilly." The Maryland Herald Aug. 17, 1814 "Died Thurs last in this town, Everard Gruber, father of the sen'r Editor of the German Western Correspondent, in his 79th yr., leaving wife to whom he had been married 51 yrs; had 10 children of whom 7 were living; remains interred in the burying ground of the German Reformed Congregation." The Maryland Herald July 15, 1808 "John Gruber, Hagerstown, offers reward for apprentice to printing business, Robert Moore, about 5 ft 18 inch, about 18 years of age, light hair." Earliest reference to John the extractions I own is in 1799 in July - unclaimed letter at the Hagerstown P. O. There are two Grubers in the marriage licenses of Frederick County 1778-1810 Nov. 22, 1787 GRUBER, David to MOORE, Susy Apri. 12, 1806 GRUBER, Elizabeth to MIERHAFFER, John In Vol II of the Cemetery Records there are Grubers buried in the Clearspring Mennonite Church Graveyard and in the Boonsboro Cemetery. In Vol. III there are Grubers buried in the Union Church Graveyard at State Line, Pa., close to the Maryland State Line. I don't own the other volumes (total of 7) so there will be more entries; especially for Hagerstown. I hope this will help you sort.
