Looking for information concerning the following peope in the fourth ward in 1845: 1 - Samuel D. Adams, b. ? m. ? d. ? May have been in Brownsville or West Brownsville Pennsylvania after wife and two daughters died. The middle initial D. may stand for Douglas as his daughter Anne Jane named one of her sons Samuel Douglas. It was said that Samuel may have owned a Tavern, but we have found no record of him. He and his wife are our brick walls. + Wife Lydia (Ostander/Pierce one record gives her maiden name as Ostander, another says Pierce) b. ? m. ? died 1845. Lydia and three daughters (names except for Anne Jane not known, but one may have been named Amanda),were put in a straw strewn room somewhere in the 4th ward Pittsburgh Pa. 9 year old daughter Ann Jane was the only one to survive after watching her mother and sisters die of Smallpox. Were buried where Union station now stands. The Methodist burying ground was dug up and moved when the station was built, then moved again when the station expanded. Lydia is said to have been of the Youghiogheny River Band of Shawnee. 2 - Daughter Anne Jane Adams b 11 Nov 1836 Indiana Pa. Married Finley Allshouse Jan 14, 1856 by a Rev Conner of M.C. Church. possibly Canonsburg. d. 1923. We have a picture of Anne Jane. 2 - Found a sister when reading Anne Janes Civil War Widows pension file. Katherine Murray of Dellslow W.Va.. Had some pages from Anne Jane Adams Allshouse's CW Widows pension file, and purchased the remaining pages which allowed us to prove the rest of the affidavits were all signed by known relatives. The only one not signed by an Allshouse relative was Catherine E. Murray of W. Va. in which she states she is Anne Janes sister. Anne Jane and Catherine were both educated, they signed their names to the forms and affidavits while the Allshouse relatives made their marks. Thank you for your time.
