Hi listers, i forgot one more name I'm trying to find: Benson. Alice or Martha married my grandfather (Chauncey Teeter) anyone know where the last name comes from? Or anything about the name? I know my mom told me she either played with or babysat a Bill Benson. I alsoknow anyone related to these names, we had a cousin play for the New York Giants his name is Brad Benson. hope to hear form someone soon John F ps thanks to everyone who responded to my last query!

hi anne, guess what i believe we are related! Lawerence Bathurst and Rebecca Archibald were my great grandparents as well!! Henry Apsley was my great grandfather as well!! I can tell you about Nellie Batrhurst and Albert Fleig they were my grandparents! Their son William A Fleig was my dad. He fought in WWII but didn't talk abou it that much. How much do you know about the BAthursts? My cousin thanks to some research has taken this bathurst line back to 1390 (England) and the last time I talked to him he said there may be evidence of one of the bathursts going on the crusades. I don't know if you know this but Lawerence fought in the Americna Revolution and his son Henry fought in the war of 1812. We have many cousins that fought in the civil war (union side).as well as many great ancestors that had extensive land in england. One of our great grandfathers helped out Charles I back in the 1640's and was created a baron. Telll me if you want to know more about the bathursts and fleigs! hope to hear from you soon John Fleig

Does anybody know why people went back and forth between Frederick County, MD and Pennsylvania? My 2nd g-grandfather, William Magill, married Theresa Wilhide of Graceham, Frederick County, MD. I have long wondered why he married a woman from MD. Thanks! Chris Magill Wieland in snowy North Canton, OH > It is confusing because some families went back and forth between MD and say, Lancaster Co. PA. And some siblings went fro other PA areas to Antis Twp.

To roll call people: Many of the surnames being posted are duplicated in the 1811 tax roll for Antis township (then in Huntingdon Co.). It seems that a third or more are surnames of families from Frederick Co. Maryland. It is confusing because some families went back and forth between MD and say, Lancaster Co. PA. And some siblings went fro other PA areas to Antis Twp. Anyway, a very large number of related families left Frederick's Evangelical Reformed (German Lutheran) church between 1800 & 1810 and settled in the (then) Huntingdon Co., PA Allegheny Twp. (most of that area became Antis Twp. and in 1846/8 the area was included in Blair Co.). Please do not ask me for the information below regarding the relatives of my Lefever - post your query here or after joining, on the Frederick MD rootsweb site! About 1806 some families from Frederick formed in Antis Twp. what was originally called the Logan Valley Salem Lutheran church. It was located in the Logan Valley - Juanita River area, Antis Twp. the congregation was very small. My group included nine (9) Smith sons & daughters with consorts. They were the offspring of a Matthias Smith (Schmit) & wife Anna Maria (Mary Ann) Buchman or Hugman) of Frederick County, MD. Some were: John Mitthias Smith (wife Mary Magdalena Main / Maen and Jacob Smith (wife Catherine Lefever) & my john Lefever (wife Catherine Martz). This related bunch included: Daniel Creager / Kriger, Lemel Root (wife Magdalena Smith). Wm. Bottenburger / Buttenburger (wife Christena Smith), Peter Kesler (wife Ann Smith). George Regan (wife Sussana Smith), and Conrad Bower / Bauer (wife Elizabeth Smith. Relatives that went there also were: George Adam Domer, (son of Darthea Miller - wife Catarina Bauer). Catarina's parents were Detrich & barbara Muhlhouser Bauer. Relatives were Streafer. All of these surnames are recorded in this church. It seem most were members, some were not, but in the records of this church.. The microfilm of the old church ledger is difficult to read, so some names I did not attempt to decipher. Some of the earliest baptisms of children were sponsored by Abraham Mathiews (sp?), George Domer & John & Jacob Smith; Ale? / Ake?; Swartz. . Early baptisms included: Craine; Beamer; Harger; Domer; 6 Ryeans /Ryans; Smith, Swartz, Law or Low, Crain?; Hesler?; Lots; Robinson. Son John Troxel was sponsored by John Troxel & wife Catherine -parents were John Troxel & wife Polly. Early members or "Communicants" included some other surnames: Riggle; Fetter; Turnbaugh / Furnbaugh; Hammer?; Noggle / Naggle; Nabour; Wimer; Lefever; Bower; Brithers; Manley; Yingling; Lots; Hart / Mart?; Heuston; Nelson; McCartmey; Hoover; Hartzell; Nelson; Volentine; Laferty; Coleman; Lego; Hull; Young; Black. Please do not request additional information regarding this church from me. Blair County Gen. / Historical Society has the microfilm of the original church ledger. Good hunting, Morris LeFever

To get naturalization papers, marriage application copies, divorce records and orphan court records; write to: Blair County Courthouse Prothonotary Office Allegheny Street Hollidaysburg, PA 16648 Enclose a SASE, and copies are . 50 cents each. A marriage application is usually one page, naturalization records can run two to three pages, (these sometimes have photo's, which are never flattering, but interesting) divorce records usually two pages orphan court records are varied, so to be safe, you should send a few dollars. Write genealogy in the corner of the envelope, and expect a reply time of 4 to 5 weeks. For wills, and deeds, same address, but this time you are writing to the Recorder of Deeds and Wills Office, same prices apply, but the deeds and wills can run many pages, so you will need to adjust the amount you send. Also, remember that Blair was not formed until 1846, and marriages and divorce records were not kept until 188? something, I forget right now, the earlier deeds, orphan court records, wills, and naturalizations are there though.
