York County, Pennsylvania, 1833-1935: Holtzschwamm Church (Reformed) http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/5522.htm

Hi All, I am looking for information on SCOTT's in Lower Chanceford Twp., York County, specifically Gavin SCOTT (b ca 1811) that married Mary Ann FERGUSON Jan. 19, 1837. There are several Scott's that are sons of Gavin Scott (died 1820). John (died 1825), Cunningham (died 1825), Nathaniel (died 1863), Gavin, Jr (died 1822). are all in the area. Only one with a will is Gavin Jr. On the 1850 census, Nathaniel is 60 years old. Also, on the 1850 census, living next door to Gavin and family is Sarah Scott also 60 years old. If Gavin's father is deceased, could Sarah be Gavin's mother? But who is Sarah's husband? Also - would love to find out anything about Mary Anee FURGUSON's family. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Harriett

I am descended from Samuel BRILLHART who married Magdalena DANNER. I found in the book, Brillharts of America, that he was the son of Samuel Brillhart and Esther Smidt. Then in another book, A Light in the Valley, it says Samuel Brillhart was the son of your Peter Brillhart. I am confused. Who is the real father of Samuel, b 1757, d. 1815? Does anyone know or can you tell me where I can find out? Thanks, Sue

Hello Seeking info on George and Mary Smith. George was born abt. 1809 and Mary was born abt. 1812. Their children and their ages are as follows: Elizabeth (1 Feb 1835), Mary (abt. 1836), Rebecca (abt. 1837), Daniel (abt. 1839), Alexander (abt. 1841), John (abt. 1843), Catharine (abt. 1845), Leah (abt. 1847), Emelina Jane (abt. 1849), and Susanna (aft. 1850). The following are who the daughters married: Elizabeth (Henry Shindler), Mary Ann (Edman Becker), Emelina Jane (Jesse Falkenstine). George and Mary are listed in the 1880 N. Codorus Twp. census. While doing some more searching, I also found a George Smith and Mary Nass that were married in 1834. This would be a good match, since their first child was born in 1835. I am thinking Mary may be a Nace/Ness/Noss, etc. Also found a George Smith, born 12 Sept 1808 to John and Margaret Smith. This would also match his age at the time of the census. Can anyone help?

Is anyone out there researching the descendants of George Julius (1821-1885) and his wife Hannah Lenhart (1823-1903)? I would be interested in corresponding with anyone that is. Thanks. Blake Stough Researching STOUGH-STAUCH-STOUCH families from York Co., PA

Steve Miller

Stephen Miller Thanks for your reply. I knew the previous reply was in error, as my Dubbs family was in Manheim twp, York, PA and they were somewhere near Codorus Twp. I have a feeling that this land was very near them, as some of the Dubbs children married into my ancestor Kreamer line, which was one of the owners of this tract of land. I appreciate your setting us straight.

Can you tell me what time frame this description is from? Otherwise, it is impossible to trace. I can then try the township office and the assessment office and see what help they may be.

I can not help you with the description of the property; however, some of my husband's family, the Boyers, were farmers in the Manheim township area. We visited the area last fall. Would be interested if you run across any Boyers.

Hello, I'm looking for information of my gr-gr-grandparents: EMANUEL STREMMEL LYDIA BANGE I just received these names, I have no info on them at all! Their daughter, LAURA CELESTA STREMMEL, was born in Hanover in 1881. For whatever reason, Laura was raised by Emanuel's brother, URIAS STREMMEL and his wife, SARANDA. I believe they lived in the Lineboro, Carroll, MD area. Laura married DAVID KENNETH MCCLEAF and raised their family and farmed in Gettysburg, Adams county. ANY help with the STREMMELs and/or BANGEs would be very much appreciated!!

The Gardner Family of Maryland I am looking for the 1890 Census records of ancestor William H. Gardner who married Elizabeth Metz Gardner on May 5, 1887. They had three children - Charles H. Gardner (born 3/29/1888) William F. Gardner (born 12/24/1888) Elizabeth Gardner (born 1/2/1890) William H. Gardner died on August 14, 1899 and his widow Elizabeth and children are probably listed in the 1900 and succeeding Censuses. I anyone can look for these relatives, I would appreciate it. Since William's mother Mary Bowen Custis Gardner was born in 1837 in Worcestor County, William may have lived in Worcestor County, Maryland or Hanover in York County, Pennsylvania near his half sister Julia Ann (Annie) Custis Gallagher, or near his mother at 903 E. Hoffman Street in Baltimore. I am grateful for those that check in all these areas. Thanks so much, Bill Horten San Diego, CA [email protected]
