Hi, I have a Jacob Widener, Widner, Weidner and his wife Mary Ann married in 1826 in Washington Co. in 1834 he, with his family, his sons Samuel b. 1828, John b. 1830? Phillip b. 1832 moved to Fairfield Co., Ohio in 1834. Jacob was a brick manufacturer both there and in Fairfield Co., not sure if Jacob was born in Franklin Co. PA. in Feb. 20, 1803. One place I found his wife was a Beard and another Phillip maidenname. I found Beard in the marriage records in Washington Co., and one time years ago, found Phillip. He truly was a maker of bricks, no one has been able to break down his brick wall. Any help, greatly appreciated. Mary Widener

In the marriage index: WIDENER, Jc./Mary Ann Beard 5/7/1826 - this is the only groom with that surname and there are no brides. There is nothing in Distribution of Estate Accounts. There is nothing in the extractions from newspapers covering 1820-1830. There is nothing in tombstone records for vol. II and III of 7 volumes. Those are the only two I have. 1790 census - Washington County MD Page Line Widener John 32 2531 Widener Michael 23 1841 There are no Wideners on the 1783 Tax list for Washington County MD - so they must have come into the county between 1783 and 1790 when they show up on the census. There is an estate that may be of interest: BREWER, Adam. Adm. Jacob, William Beard 9/5/1835; John, Mary Beard, Catherine, Matilda, Elizabeth. T. $619.57 This Mary Ann Brewer married William Beard 2/11/1832 and thus also Mary Ann Beard. Beards are a bit thicker on the ground - there are 41 grooms and 31 brides in the marriage index.
