Dear Stan: I saw your Leonard surname. I am trying to confirm the ancestors of Albert Truby Cooper, b. 3/26/1897 in Parker, Arsmtrong County, PA.. I know that he was married to Ella Leonard, b. 1866, in Parker. It's Ella's ancestors I am interested in. I believe her father was John Leonard, born in Pittsburgh, a leading businessman in Butler County/Armstrong County, associated with the Thomas Wightman Company (glassworks). He also would have been a large landowner, and superintendant of the Bear Creek Furnace, after 1833. He died 1884 in "an accident." He was married to Margaret B. Bordidge, of Pittsburgh. This couple had, inter alia, another daughter Emma Leoanrd of Parker who married Samuel Truby Robinson. The father of John was Reuben Leonard born in England, died 11/18/1880 in Parker, married to Ann L. Edward. Do you know if Ella Leonard was in fact the daughter of John Leonard? Thank you very much. Jane

Hello all I am searching for any HARTZ family in the county. I found a Jacob Hartz b. 1800 living in Kiskeminitos Twp in the 1840 census. Can anyone do alookup in the earlier census, 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830? I am searching for the parents of Jacob. Also, where would I look to find church records of a marriage in the early 1820's? Possibly in Kiskeminitos Twp. Any information would be greatly appreciated as this family is my very big Brick Wall. If this is my Jacob he moved to Schuylkill Co. by 1850. If anyone needs any research done in Schuylkill Co., I would be very happy to help. I have a lot of material on Schuylkill. Regards Jane Burns JBurns7357@aol.com

You might try Sharon Huffman. Her e-mail address is SharHuff@aol.com. She has contacts on these Bargers too. Jane

Jodi, Jesse John Stitt was my GGGrandfather and I have followed the Stitt line on down. I think I have a good bit of Mary Caroline Flick's ancestry, but I haven't expanded much on it. I have only a small amount of info on Jesse John's father, John Stitt. I have him born around 1791 and marrying Elizabeth Flick-Bailey around 1833 in Allegheny Twp, Armstrong County. The only child I have is Jesse John. All of that info came from the IGI and I wish I had a confirming source or two.

I don't know that I have much more on the Stitt family, but I could at least get you the documentation for the data I already put up, if you need it. Maybe you already have all that. I'd be glad to get you the names and info on the kids of Jesse and Mary Caroline Flick if you want it. What do you know of John Stitt that married Elizabeth Flick? Let me know what you need.

I am researching the Schrecengost, Schreckengast, Sckreckengost family. The spelling variations are endless and also include some of the Schreck line. I am interested in information available concerning anyone related to this family, directly or through marriage no matter how distantly related. My database goes back to Jeremias Schreckengast, 1639 in Germany. A particular line that I am seeking more information is the ancestors of a Daniel J.

Whoops, the World Family Tree volume was not 4, but 6, tree #2372, for the Schrecengosts. Jane

Dear Jerry: I have some Schrecengosts in my Truby database, but David Harmon traced that line pretty thoroughly in his World Family Tree submission, Vol. 4. Do you have it? Jane

Hi everyone, I have finally started to upload my web page. It is still under construction so please check back. Email me with any replies. http://www.erols.com/mouster Thanks michelle

Hope someone out there can help me this is a story written by my ggrandad Booth. I would love to find more out about this side of my family. If anyone on the Kittanning area knows about the following story, please let me know. Thanks michelle greer The Average life of an American Boy Written by Alfred Booth. My Ggrandfather I was born on March 9, 1891 in a two story frame house, on Railroad Street, Beaver Falls PA. My father was born in Lancamshire England in 1847, he came to USA in 2867 and never went back to England again, he had four sisters and three brothers, one of the brothers and his Father was killed when there mine caved in (that was during the Klondike gold rush) Another brogher settled in Canada and another in Sanfrisco (San Fransansico) Cal. USA. Of the four sisters on was married to a man nameed Ashworth and anotehr to a man named Mitchel, a son from both the Ashworth and Mitchel marrage visited my father in USA in the early '90s (1890) and the Ashworth boy had to return to England when the Bohr war broke out as he was a member of the reelmen, which is like our National Guard in this country, and nothing has been heard from them since, nothing is known of the other two sisters, and I have no knowledge regarding the brothers that went to California and Candada. My father occupation was stone mason, and he was a good one, and not only was he a good stone mason but he was also a contractor of masonary work and at that time there was no cement and all walls etc were built of stone or bricks and all bridge, buttments were also of stone. My father contracted many bridge jobs from the Rail roads, he also contracted and built the retaining wall along the Allegheny river at Freeport PA, it was this job that caused him to buy the Daughterty farm, which was just outside the Kittanning Borough, this farm had a stone puerry on it and the Freeport contract called for him to both furnish the stone and labor and complete the wall which he did, but he had went in debt about $15,000. That was an awfull amount of mony in those days, as at that time a laberor at a wage of around ten cents per hour would only earn about $500.00 per year, so it would take him thirty years to pay the debt without considering interst and living costs, but he did not get ! ! it paid off, and after his death it was sold Sherrif sale. And my mother did not receive a cent from the sale of it. My father died in Beaver Falls and his body ws shipped to Kittanning and buried in Potters Field in the Kittanning cemetary in 1894. I was thee years old when he died. My mother was born in Kittanning PA in she was the daughter of Jane Adams also of Kittanning PA. My grandmother had 12 children that lived through child birth, my mother was the oldest of the Heisner offsprings. The following is a list of the 12 children from Jane Adams Heisner, starting at the first and nameing them in rotation just as they came. Nora (my mother) George, Catherine (kate), David, Mary, (name), Alfred, Nettie, Calvin, Adda, Ralph, Mable, Tom. My grandmother was married to David Scott or David Heisner a short time after the end of the Civil war, and they started to buy an old clapboard 1 1/2 story house on Oak Ave, Kittanning PA and lived their complete life in this same house. My grandfather it seems was a step child either of Scott or Heisner as in his youth he inlisted in the Northern Army for service in the civil war under the name of David Scott, but had his name changed to Heisner on the Army records as his window (my grandmother) did receive a pension from the government for service in the Army, there is very little praise I can give in his behalf as he was a very heavy drinker and did not seem to care much about others, but he was in love with himself, so grandmother really did have a hard life with 12 children and a unciderating husband. Alfred Booth did not get to finish this. I typed it pretty much how he handwrote it.
