Hello Listers, I'm researching William Carothers b. abt. 1820 and lived most of his life in Antis Twp. (Sabbath Rest). According to the Altoona Marriage Application Book, Thaddeus was the son of William and Anna Maria (?) Carothers. Thaddeus married Lottie Glunt. 1870 census: William - 50 yrs. (I'm assuming Anna Maria died after the birth of Thaddeus). Jane - 17 yrs. John - 16 yrs. William - 8 yrs. d. 3 May 1903 m. Susannah Douglas Ida - 6 yrs. Thaddeus - 3 yrs. Not finding any of the above until 1900 census and then I only find Thaddeus. Carrothers: Thaddeus - 34 yrs. Lottie M. - 30 yrs. Edward (Joshua) - 11 yrs. Viola - 9 yrs. Mabel - 7 yrs Belva - 1 Russell shows up in the 1910 census. I have the obit for Thaddeus which says his father is William but mother is unknown. Thaddeus m. first to Lottie M. Glunt and after her death he married Sarah Hassinger and resided in Cleveland, Oh. I tried to get an obit for William who died May 3, 1903, brother of Thaddeus, but no luck. If anyone is researching this family, I would love to hear from you. Maureen ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
