I have never posted the family I'm researching on this board before so here goes: 1. I am looking for Samuel Beecher, born 17 Dec 1767 place unknown, and died 8 Oct 1821 in Hagerstown, MD. I am trying to find out where he was born, and married. 2. His wife was Barbry Winthrope. I would like to find out where & when Barbry was born and died. 3. I know that there were at least 3 children. A. Jacob Beecher was born 2 May 1799, near Petersburg, Adams Co., PA. He was a well known Reformed minister. He died 15 Jul 1831 in Shepherdstown, Jefferson Co., VA (WV). B. William W. Beecher, born 10 Aug 1801 and died 12 Oct 1881. He is my 3rd Gt. Grandfather. C. Sarah H. Beecher, nothing know about her. I would appreciate any information about the Beecher and/or Winthrope families that members of this board might be willing to share with me. I will be happy to share info on William's family.

Recently at an antique store in Leesburg, Virginia I found a couple of 4x6 color photographs mixed in with the post cards. They are both labled on the back "Gettysburg Parade May 30, 1962", one is a troupe of Girl Scouts and the other labled "York Springs Band new uniforms". If any one is interested in having these photos, please email me privately and I will send them to you. Truman Adkins Fieldale, Virginia

This just came through the Blair Co. List. It was transcribed from and 1860 Altoona Tribune: REARING CHILDREN 1. Children should not go to school until six years old. 2. Should not learn at home during that time more than the alphabet, religious teachings excepted. 3. Should be fed with plain substantial food, at a regular intervals of not less than four hours. 4. Should not be allowed to eat anything within two hours of bedtime. 5. Should have nothing for supper but a single cup of warm drink, such as very weak tea of some kind, or cambric tea or warm milk and water, with one slice of cold bread and butter--nothing else. 6. Should sleep in separate bed, on hair mattresses, without caps, feet first well warmed by the fire or rubbed with the hands until perfectly dry; extra covering on the lower limbs, but little on the body. 7. Should be compelled to be out of doors for the greater part of daylight from after breakfast until half an hour before sundown, unless in damp, raw weather, when they should not be allowed to go outside the door. 8. Never limit a healthy child s to sleeping or eating, except at supper; but compel regularity to both; it is of great importance. 9. Never compel a child to sit still, nor interfere with its enjoyment, as long as it is not actually injurious to person or property, or against good morals. 10. Never threaten a child, it is cruel, unjust and dangerous. What you have to do, do it, and be done with it. 11. Never speak harshly or angrily, but mildly, kindly, and when really needed, firmly--no more. 12. By all means arrange it so that the last words between you and your children at bed time, especially the younger ones, shall be words of unmixed loveliness and affection. Hall's Journal of Health.

I am doing some research on a cousin's family. His mother Ellen or Sarah Starner was born in Idaville area around 1900. I can't find anyone by that name on the census and am trying to find her parents. Anyone working on this family? Jim in Vermont

According to the web site http://www.letchworthparkhistory.com/jem.html. Mary Jemison was born on the ship William and Mary in the Atlantic Ocean when her parents were heading to America. There was a story on Adams County TV a few months back about Mary Jemison. If I remember correctly there is a book/story that she dictated to someone while still alive. Amy

I'm not sure where Mary Jemison was born, but the Jemison family moved into the Buchanan Valley area of Adams County in 1754 and in 1755 she was abducted by Native Americans and lived with the tribe until her death in New York State many years later. I recall the Adams County Historical Society ( _www.achs-pa.org_ (http://www.achs-pa.org) ) newsletter had, sometime in the past few years, an extensive report on the Mary Jemison story.

Hi Folks: One of our local free newspaper publications, The Guide recently printed a condensed story of Mary JEMISON in their "Meet Your Friends and Neighbors" section by Martie Kunkel. For those unfamiliar with this woman, Mary JEMISON, was abducted by the French and Indians during the French-Indian War and continued to live with the Indians until her death in 1833. I thought she was originally from - I believe the York / Adams Co. area - can anyone verify this?. The article in The Guide states that she was from "western" Pennslyvania. If anyone is interested in the scanned image of the article, please e-mail me privately and I will send it to you. If you ever get a chance to read the book, it is wonderful! I couldn't put it down! Best Wishes... Donna Heller Zinn of Newville, Cumberland Co., PA.

I am trying to find more info on an ancestor, Frederick Neuhofer, who was born in Germany and moved at some time to Danville, Montour Co., Pa. His name was also spelled Newhofer and Neuhoefer on various documents. Today I found an 1880 census entry for John Newhofer, 36, born Maryland of German parents. I have a strong hunch that he might be Fred's brother. Does anyone out there know anything about John, or have access to any other records that might include him? He was living in Butler, Adams Co, at the time of the 1880 census. Any help much appreciated!

Is there any one on this list who have are researching WORK/WARK surname? MY ancestor James Work was supposed to be born in Adams Co. PA 1823. He was the son of Jacob (b. 1789) and Margaret Grimm/Gwinn Work. James would have been my g.grandfather his spouse was Rachel Rebecca Day. Their daughter Rachel Anzie m. (b. 1862) m. David Hinerman/Heyneman HOFFMAN. Harriet HOFFMAN Toothman

My Warners came from Adams County and moved to Cambria County in the late 1800's. My GG Grandfather, James Warner, his wife Hannah Elizabeth Noel and children. I believe that James' father was Samuel. That is all I have, I haven't yet had time to go any further.

New to researching one ancestor who may have been from Adams County. Is anyone working on the Warner family here, specifically a Jacob Warner who may have served in the Revolution? Thanks.

Hello, Oops, I posted this improperly.  Let me try again. I recently found something of interest to me in "The History of Cumberland and Adams Counties, Pennsylvania", Warner, Beers & Co, 1886.  It mentioned (p 262) Samuel Gibson, Duncan Evans, and Robert Gibson settled on Middle Creek, Adams Co, in 1736. Does anyone have other references to these same names and know if, and when, they left Adams County? Thanks for your efforts. --Jack Trauth
