July 3, 1998 Jill Johnson email: JJJ1JCS@aol.com Looking for information about Mathias NASH (original name NEUSCH) and his family. Wife Elizabeth GROH and children Joseph, Lawrence, Elishet (?), Mary Anna, Louis, Frank, Andrew, Rosa and Helena (went by name Ellie). Mathias, Elizabeth and Joseph came to America around 1846 from Niedersteinbach in Alsace, France. They were living in New York City in 1850 in the 16th Ward, 3rd District. At least 1 child was baptised in St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in 1857. The family later moved to Rockland County. They were living in Piermont in 1867 and were in Pearl River (Orangetown) by 1871. Joseph married a woman from Pearl River named Elizabeth "Lizzie" Fisher. The NASH family was living in Pearl River prior to the movement of the entire family to St. Paul, Minnesota (between 1876 and 1881). Lawrence, Elishet and Mary Anna died before reaching adulthood - nothing is known about when or where they died. Andrew was the only adult who did not go to Minnesota. Andrew was alive in the 1880 census and living with his parents. His subsequent whereabouts and what happened to him is as yet unknown. It is also probable that Frank Nash was working with one of the railroad lines - any information about this is desired. I am also looking for a woman named Catherine H who used to have the AOL address of CHolli2236 - she was looking for this family but her address changed & I cannot find out how to reach her.
