I would appreciate ANY help proving the information below .. a very nice lady provided it but stated that the researchers she received it from are no longer with us .. I hope she is incorrect. Also does anyone have a book on Abraham LEASURE or LeSEURER? Bonita Abraham LEASURE or LESUEUR who married Jane MARSHALL on 5 Jul 1798. They are both buried in Sarver Station, PA (don't now which county as yet). I suppose they were born in the 1770-1780 timeframe ... probably Westmoreland Co., PA ..or Lancaster Co., PA Their children include 1.. Margaret LEISURE b: 31 Dec 1798 m: Jacob Sumny and died 1 Oct 1861 in Butler Co. PA. It says that she received one lot in West Union Village, Butler Co, PA from her father's will. , 2.. James LEISURE b: 28 Jan 1800 in Butler, d: 22 Sep 1886 m: Susan Gibbs, had 10 children; 3.. Abraham LEISURE b: 12 May 1802 d: 19 Nov 1886, m: Elizabeth Rice, lived in Buffalo Twp, had nine children.; 4.. Mary A LEISURE. d: 15 Dec 1887 m: John Myers, children unknown; 5.. Katherine LEISURE b: 1813 d: 12 Nov 1903 in Butler Co, never married; 6.. Robert Marshall LEISURE: ca 1814, m: Martha J. Myers, 4 children: 7.. Jane LEISURE b: 1817 d: 5 Feb 1884 m: John Peters, 4 children: and 8.. William LEASURE b: 8 apr 1819 d: 15 Aug 1898 in Butler m: Ellen Hazlott, 2 children She said the information was from research done by Sarah J. Leasure Dunshee, John A. Leasure of Altoona, PA, and Charles Leasurer, Sarver .. There is supposed to be a book called "Descendants of Abraham LeSueur, the Huguenot" by Thelma Leasure Marshall She stated the name changed from LASHER LASURE LESURE LAZEAAR LEASURE LEISURE AND LeSUEUR ... so I need to see if I can find this ******************************************************* Lady Bonita -- Dallas / Fort Worth, Texas, USA *******************************************************

Is any one out there searching the Andrew Kaler Family of Brady's Bend? They are listed in the 1880 Census for Brady's Bend. My interest is in the Mother in law (Catharine Paker) listed there also as being in the Kaler household. Thanks, John Parker

Please excuse this post, but if Ray Roberts still subscribes to this list or anyone on the list knows how to contact him, could you please let me know at sweeze@zoominternet.net? Thanks, Pat "Volunteer of Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness at http://www.raogk.org/"

I just received the death certificate os Mrs. Jane SUMNEY or SUMMONEY and she states her mother's maiden name is LAISNIE or LAISNIR .. this one has me thrown for a loop .. does anyone recognize this as a spelling of a surname? I am not sure where they married but they lived in Butler Co, in 1840-1850 .. I believe it is either Donagal or Clearfield (not sure which is her husband .. William or Lenny SUMMONEY. She is living with her newly married (and probably pregnant daughter and son-in-law, Samuel MOHLER. Any stretches of the imagination as to what her mother's surname is ... I would welcome all potentials. Bonita ******************************************************* Lady Bonita -- Dallas / Fort Worth, Texas, USA *******************************************************

Pat: First, let me thank you for your response, and tell you that your work is greatly appreciated. Secondly, I wasn't faulting, and never would fault your work for possibly missing something. That amount of work is staggering. The answer is probably option 2, but I didn't know for sure how it worked. I have a clearer picture now, but have one more question: What if there is joint ownership (if there was such a thing in the 19th century?) of property between husband and wife and the husband dies--would there be an Estate filing? Thank you again. Kim

Kim, Probate records are more commonly called Estates in this area. An estate record includes the will if there was one, where a will book entry is only the will. If a person owned property but there is no estate listed on the online index, you could be dealing with two different scenarios. Number 1: I missed it when the index was typed. (also known as human, I"m in a hurry, error) Number 2: The property had already been signed over to a family member, mostly likely a son, before the person died. This was a very common practice. If you can be patient a week or two, and send the name you are interested in to sweeze@zoominternet.net, I can check out these options and the deed indexes at the courthouse to see if anything shows up that way.

Hello listers. My Butler County surnames are: GREENAWALT, MAGER, MONTAG/MONDAY, and possibly GRAFF I am somewhat new to family history research, so I have many questions. I am confused about Probate and Wills. I've read a little on the subject, but it hasn't sunk in yet. My understanding is that Wills are a part of the Probate process. Is that correct? And is the Butler County Estate Index that is located on the Butler Co. rootsweb website an index to Probate records? What would explain a person not indexed if there was property involved? And finally, for now: Are later Probate records, that aren't available through the LDS Libraries, accessible (long distance) through the county courthouse or local library? Thanks in advance.

Seeking info/ances/desc of Jane Emery, b: c1803/04, Worth Twp, Butler Co, PA - d: 24Apr1885, PA; bur: Clarksville Cem, Mercer Co, PA; d/o Thomas Humphreys and Ruth Elizabeth Coulter (6Dec1770 - 1848, d/o James and Margaret Coulter). There is a reference to Jane ["Butler County History-1883", chap. 37, p. 347, re a bio-sketch of her father Thomas] as being a widow at the time of her fathers death in 1939. The bio-sketch states, "...Jane, now widow of Thomas EMORY, living with her son in Franklin, PA..." Other sources state that Jane was married to Jacob Emery. From the DOBs of her children I can only conclude that Jane married a second time. This is how I list her children: Children of Thomas Emery: (?) Washington Emery, b: 1833 Ann M. Emery, b: 1834 (Widowed by 1839) Children of Jacob Emery: (?) Ruth Caroline Emery, b: 21Jul1841 (m:James Cordon Stewart) Henry H. Emery, b: 1845 Lavinia Emery, b: (unk) (m: Fay? Vernon) Millie Emery, b: (unk) (m: unk Millhizer) Fanny/ie Emery, b: (unk)(m:Dawson Moore) (source: L Stewart/Jan1999) I would appreciate anyone either confirming or disproving/correcting the above information.

I have been trying to locate the parents of a George Sweney/Sweeney/Sweeny/Swaney and George's siblings in either Butler Co. or nearby Allegheny Co., PA during the years abt. 1790 through 1890. George Sweeney was born abt 1822 in either Butler or Allegheny Co., and married a Satiah Ann Criner, born 12 July 1821 (died West Deer Twp., Allegheny Co., PA 15 May 1910). Satiah was born in Middlesex Twp., Butler Co., PA to John and Nancy (Reed) Criner. George died sometime between 1880 and 1900 W. Deer Twp or Fawn Twp. Other names of families being researched in this same area are: CRINER, HAZLETT, PORTER, TODHUNTER, SWEENEY (with spelling variations), LARGE, THOMPSON, NORRIS, FREDLEY, and FULTON. I would be glad to share the research findings I have on these names. Please contact me directly to my private e-mail: gsweeney@neb.rr.com. George J.

Greetings, I have found information that my great uncle and aunt, "Jacob and Julia Ann Collins Faller at one time operated the old Stage Coach Inn at the corner of Morton and Brugh Avenue, where travelers using the old Plank Road from Butler to Pittsburgh usually stopped." Does anyone have any kind of information about the old Stage Coach Inn. Thanks. Dan Convery Modesto, CA

Thanks to the person who sent the information on Steinhiser. That fills in a lot a blank pages. Do you know where I may get a copy of that Gottlieb Stinhauser and Johanna Rahm? grannybonnie45@aol.com

Just stumbled across this on some information from the records of the White Church in Saxonburg and remember someone looking for Steinhausser information. Hope it is new and helps. Gottleib SDteinhausser married Johanna Rahm on 15 July 1849. He is age 36 and she is age 28. Place is listed as Wiefels Farm.
