Warren Co. Lines: Souders George Edward Souders b. 10-19-1876 Finesville. d. 2-19-1928 Bethlehem, Pa. Son of Reuben Souders and Mary H. Smith. Reuben b. 1850 d. abt 1876, He is not listed at George Edward Souders' baptism as a parent. Only the mother is listed. Reuben is the son of George Souders and Mary Rogers. George Souders was b. 5-14-1814 New Village and d.12-27-1878 Greenwich Township. From here the line goes into Hunterdon Co. Mary Smith b. 1-21-1853 in Springtown. She had a twin sister Martha, who in Mary's obit. is listed as "Mrs. Smith" apparently she married a Smith. Mary is the daughter of William H. Smith and Charity Purdeau. William H. Smith b. 8-28-1800 Alexandria Township and is buried in Finesville, d. 4-12-1855. He was previously married to Sarah C. Egbert. William's parents are Harbert Smith (1766-1847) and Ann Huff (1777-1860) whose parents I still seek. Charity Purdeau is also listed as "Turdeau" . She was previously married to Michael Searfoss (1802-1850). Charity was b. 10-11-1809 in New Jersey according to census records and died 5-5-1885 and is buried at the Lutheran cemetery in Warren Co. There is no death certificate available under her Smith, Serfoss, or Purdeau names. Looking for her parents. Purdeau may be a Purdy or Depuy, knowing my relatives. Mary Rogers b.1814 d. 10-21-1884 is the daughter of Jacob and Mary Rogers. I assume the Jacob R. Rogers b. abt 1825 in the Warren Co. census records is her brother without any real proof. I am lost on this line. Another possible connection is Jonathan Beer who lived in the Easton area. He married an Anne. His will was probated in Northampton Co. in 1777. Some people believe he is an immigrant who married Anne Edwards in Philadelphia. I am skeptical. Joseph Petty who died 8-8-1799 Leigh Township. Also married an Anne. May be of Warren Co Petty/Pettit line. I am also searching for an Elias Beidelman born August of 1810. He lived in Heidelberg Township, Northampton Co. He may be from Warren Co. I have no idea, although to be honest, my first guess is Berks. Co. Pa. I thought I'd post anyway. Mike Ledo
