Hello fellow researchers, I wonder if there are descendants, or any connections/ties to the LEPLEY family who immigrated from Germany (1753) to Bedford Co, PA (now Somerset Co) and into Huron Co and Knox Co, OH (cir. 1806)on the mailing list? I have an extensive listing of LEPLEY's who various lines of my family are connected with. I have a number of LEPLEY's who I would like to connect with their proper lineage. I have some missing LEPLEY's that I would like to find. Perhaps we could exchange and share some family information that would be of help with both our research efforts. Thank you.

In addition to tracing several generations of Henry's descendants here in the United States, this book also traces their ancestral roots back to several villages in the Arrondissement of Wissembourg, Alsace.

Jean, In the book OHIO PHOTOGRAPHERS 1839-1900 by Dianne VanSkiver Gagel there is this information about Fred S. Crowell: "Fred S. Crowell (1844-?) was born in Huron County. He was a salesman in a bookseller and stationer's shop and later worked for a jeweler. His first position as a photographer was at the Payne gallery in Mount Vernon, where he stayed for one year. He worked at Benham's studio in Norwalk, then at Week's gallery in Sandusky for about eighteen months, then in galleries in Cleveland and Erie, Pennsylvania. He owned a gallery in Fredricktown, 1866-69, then is listed in Mt. Vernon, 1869-1889." I bought the book in hopes that I would find information about a pair of Mount Vernon photographers that I would like to know about. It contained no information on the photographers I was looking for. I have a photo of either my gr grandfather, Isaac Parsons, or my 3 gr grandfather, Isaac Parsons, that has the following on the back, "Spurgeon & McClain, Photographers, Woodward Building, Mount Vernon, Ohio." Knowing when these photographers were in business would help me figure out which Isaac Parsons is in the photo. I know that the Woodward Building is being restored and that opened in about 1851. If anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Janet Parsons

A girlfriend and I are going up to Holmes County to a pottery we especially like, in order to purchase some Christmas gifts. If we have time on the way back, I might coerce her into looking around in the "Winterringer" neck of the woods.

And yes, the surname will be found spelled many different ways -- Winteringer - Winterringer - Wintringer. They're all the same clan. The immigrant Bernard landed at Philadelphia in 1753, married Sarah Chatwin there in 1760, lived a short while in Maryland and then moved to Northumberland Co., PA. About 1797 he moved his family to Jefferson Co., OH and there is a lot of information available on the family from historical accounts of Steubenville. One of their sons, Nathan, was quite well known for being a boat builder and having a thriving shipping business on the Ohio River. I now need to research which of their sons was Kenneth 's ancestor in Knox County. Having his father's name helps tremendously. I so appreciate all the information that you and Cal and others have given me. Isn't the internet a wonderful thing? Last night on PBS there was a panel discussing what the whole internet/computer situation will be in just 10 years, and it's unbelievable! Karen

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GWB.2ACE/1244.1.2.2.3.2.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: This makes sense as Walter and my Grandmother Jennie Porter were near the same age and Kenneth was two years older than my father. More than likely they all knew each other most of their lives and lived within 5 miles of each other along Chestnut Ridge which rose above Flat Run Rd. to the west and paralleled U.S. 36 on the east side. Now Ohio 715. More interesting is how close these neighbors were but totally unconcerned of their ancestry or at least it was never really discussed openly, They were mostly busy with day to day life issues like crops, livestock, neighbors, weather, work, government interferance with the farmer. There was a lot of talk about that in the forties and fifties. Thank you Carole and Karen for allowing me to share some long gone faded memories of a great place to be a part of and isolated far into the hills that the purity of life still rings throughout the deep shady hollows and medows to this very day. Cal.
