Does anyone know the maiden name of the Rosanna who married Peter Snyder, or know who Peter Snyder's parents were? I found the following in the Stark County (Ohio) Democrat in 1881 issues: June 9 1881 "-Mrs. Rosanna Snyder widow of Peter died in Lake Twp ae 85 years, 7 months and . days; She was born in Lancaster Pennsylvania and has lived in Stark Co. for 50 years. She was the mother of 18 children, ten of whom are living. She was greatly respected and leaves many friends to mourn her loss. " The very next issue of the Stark County Democrat had the following appeared, and I am wondering if Samuel was one of Rosanna's children: "June 16 -Snyder: Died at his residence in Tuscarawas Twp., Stark Co., on the 2d, Mr. Samuel Snyder, ae 69, 7 months and 20 days. The deceased was an old resident of Tuscarawas Twp., having lived there for a period of 51 years. He was born in Lancaster Co. Pennsylvania in 1811, and came with his parents to the place where he died, living with the exception of two years, on the same farm. The remains were followed to the cemetery by a large concourse of relations, friends and neighbors, showing the hold deceased had on their sympathies. He was a man of many excellent qualities, and an industrious, worthy and respected citizen. He became a member of the Lutheran church at the age of 19 and lived an exemplary Christian life. His wife and five children preceded him in death, leaving but two of the family, who, with a large circle of neighbors, deeply mourn his loss. R. F. L. " I don't know whose initials R.F. L. were...they are not mine Richard

Does a German Presbyterian church or a Mud Brook Church ring any bells? Marriage records from Stark County from an 1833 marriage and an 1855 marriage show a Rev. John Hamm of the German Presbyterian church of Franklin Twp., performed the marriages. Does anyone know where this church was located, or if any of the records of the church are still around? (Franklin Twp. was absorbed by Summit Co., but both marriages were recorded in Stark County.) Or does anyone know if this was the same as the Mud Brook Church in Jackson Twp.? From an 1854 issue of the Stark County Democrat: "On the east side of the [Tuscarawas] river, the German Reformed, and Lutheran persuasions, were the most common. They had no church, but attended the ministrations of Father Wier and Faust, at Mud Brook church, in Jackson Township." An old book on Stark County stated "1834. German Reformed and Lutherans built Mud brook Church. Slanker, Click, Braucher, Tresch, Humber, Everart & Heldenbrand [were members.] " I have also discovered that there was a Mud Creek cemetery, and have posted a question about that already, but nobody seems to know anything about it. Does anyone know if that cemetery was ever transcribed or is still around? On the current map of Stark County I notice there is still a Mud Brook road in existence, and this might help those of you who live in the area "place" this church and cemetery. The map I have does not show any cemetery along this road, and I wonder if it was replaced by a golf course or something... Richard

Florence was born in Magnolia Ohio Feb 28, 1899. Her parents were Thomas and Mary Grace DeLuca. They were recent immigrants from Italy.

Hello list: I am looking for ANY info on the above surnames. I am not sure if the spelling of McMillen is correct or not.

I believe the last time I copied the entire map, it required 8 copies of 11" x 17" paper. Each copy is $.50. So, $4 for copies plus postage. I don't know the new rates, but less than $5.

The November 28 1855 issue of the Stark County Democrat had the following: "Messrs. Williams Dorr & Co's, new map of this county is now ready for delivery. It is a large, fine map, and a copy should be in every house in the county. The map gives the names of all owners of large tracts of land in the county. engravings of [several places listed including the Stark County Infirmary]. Maps of the towns of Massillon and Canton are also given." Does anyone have a copy of this map, or know where there is a copy? Richard

>From the February 13 1861 Stark County Democrat: "George Harsh is a native of Washington co. Pennsylvania, which state both his parents were born and brought up; the name indicating a German descent. He is 5 foot 9 inches weighing 178 lbs, with a well knit frame capable of considerable endurance. His parents being of the Lutheran Church, he was educated in that faith, and that in the German language, which is as common in much of Stark Co. as in Pennsylvania. In politics, his father was of the Jackson party but his own preferences were for the Whig party. In 1812 his father migrated to Stark and settled near Massillon, the country being then an almost unbroken wilderness. At the age of 17 he began teaching country schools in the winter time, which he continued for several years. In 1831 he engaged in merchandising in Massillon, in partnership with his brother Jacob who soon after died. He then continued the business alone, for about 25 years. Now at the age of 50 he has his third wife and has outlived many of his chi! ldren." There are Harshs listed in baptismal records in the book Dutch Glory, the Bethlehem Lutheran church of Washington Co. Pennsylvania by Margaret Simon. But George above is not listed. It is possible the Harshs are related to my Hallowbush/ Hillibish family, members of whom also attended the old Gosenhoppen church. My Anna Maria (Hillibish) Frank died in Washington Co. Pennsylvania. I have always wondered if the Hallowbushs dropped a few letters to simplify their name. Richard

Hello All. I joined this list recently in search of OBERLIN, STONER, MITMAN In STark Co., and have heard from several of you. I hasve recently gotten interested in one of the female lines-- Catharine Neustetter m. JOhn OBERLIN around 1810. I have been researching the Newstetters and would like to touch base with anyone else who might be covering the same ground. I believe Catharine was one of the children of Conrad Neustetter, who may (or may not) have been a Hessian soldier. Judith in OH
