Nancy, We have both had such a time with our Thompson lines, haven't we? Here's another puzzle I have run across in Butler County deeds. I wondered if you had ever come across these Thompsons. It concerned the estate of Robert Findley who died intestate without issue. The estate passed to his widow, Margaret Findley. The heirs were Jacob C. Thompson, and his wife, Christianna, of Linville, Wayne County, Iowa, and Athalinda Thompson, mother and legal heir of Daniel T. Thompson, deceased, and of Carnie Marion Thompson, both of Douglas County, Kansas, get together and appoint Reverend R. Y. Thompson of Kingsville, Johnson Co., Missouri as their lawful attorney concerning the land and real estate of the Findley's in Clay Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania. Apparently the heir Daniel T. (shown as David T. on second page) died "among strangers" without issue or dependents. The heirs were asking that sickness and burial debts be paid for him from their shares. Then their is another document concerning the heirs of Elizabeth Thompson, sister of Robert Findley, that brings up letters of July and September 1884. In this, Reverend R. Y. Thompson is transferring property in Clay Township to Simon P. Painter for thirty dollars. The names make me curious. Do they fit in either of our Thompson lines? Glee

Nancy, No, noone has been able to find the Mt. Chestnut Cemetery records. And That would not be in Center Township, it is in Franklin Township. One feeling locally, is that the Brewster Cemetery is the one also known as the Church of God Cemetery near the corner of Brewster and Benbrook Roads. We feel that there are more interrments than what is listed in the cemetery index and that the people you are hunting for just didn't have headstones or they had disappeared before the 1970's. Pat

Bob, Margaret Russell was John Hindman's second wife, and she was not the mother of his five daughters. He was born about 1790, in Pennsylvania according to the 1850 census, and grew up and lived most of his life in Franklin Township, Armstrong County, the only child of Thomas Hindman. The first wife of John Hindman was Nancy Hall, of Slate Lick, PA. She died after 1850. They had five daughters: 1) Elizabeth, b. 18 Oct 1812, m. John P. Huston 2) Sarah, b. 18 Jul 1818, m. Robert W. Campbell 3) Jane, b. abt 1819, m. William J. Ramsey. Jane died before her father. 4) Mary, b. after 1820, m. unnamed Wylie 5) Margaret M., b. after 1820, m. unnamed Barr. John Hindman and his second wife Margaret sold his father's farm, which he inherited, to William J. Ramsey in 1856, then they went to live in Concord Township, Butler County, presumably on her property. He died about June 1862. His will is filed in Butler County Will Book D., page 156. Mary Hindman, who married James McQuistion, was a daughter of Robert Hindman of Parker Township, Butler County. Robert and Thomas may have been brothers, but there's no proof of relationship. My ancestor, James Hindman, also of Franklin Township, Armstrong County, may also have been their brother, but again there's no proof. Sorry I can't help you with Mary "Polly" McQuistion, wife of James Russell. Was he the one known as "Big Jim" Russell, father of Margaret Russell? Probably not, because I show Margaret's parents to be James Russell, b. about 1755, died Nov 1848, and wife Jane, but I may be wrong on that.

I sent the following email yesterday, and it was returned to me because the address was wrong. But I got a call from a Dunn descendant who says that Mt. Chestnut cemetery may very well be the Brewster cemetery since the Dunns and the Brewsters were very close and the Dunn farm was very close to Mt. Chestnut. So now the next question: Does anyone have access to cemetery records for the old UP cemetery in Mt. Chestnut? Jacob Marion Thompson died in March 1899; even if his name doesn't show up in records, can we find records of burials by dates? Finally, here is the original email: Hi, everyone, Am still looking for traces of Brewster Cemetery and have recently come across some Brewsters that may have been related by marriage to my great grandfather, Jacob Marion Thompson, who is supposed to have been buried in the Brewster Cemetery. Jacob's mother- in- law was Mary Ann Dunn Jones. Does anyone have knowledge of where the following may have lived around Center Twp.: Joseph Brewster and Jane Dunn Alexander Brewster (1840-1908, U.P. Church) and Delilah Albert (d. 1906) Their Children: Brewsters: Wilson Curtis Preston Albert Alexander Mitchell (Allegheny) Laura Adellah Heber John Benjamin Benton (next farm) Minnie Jane (Cranmer) Edwin Lawrence Maniford Emmett (Queen's Junction) Charles Oscar (home farm) Where are these Brewsters buried? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Nancy

There is a person by the name of: OTTO STUEBGEN in Saxonburg, PA.in the 1830's and 1840's. Birthdate.....Date of Death......Marriage ? Who?? When?? Can you give me any information at all..... Beth Stuebgen

Here is the info I gained from my visit to the North Side Cemetery Today. The gentleman I met with was Mr. Olenic and he was very helpful and pleasant. He said that he doesn't mind doing some lookups, but would ask that people request lookups for a specific individual, not just a request for All persons of a certain surname. He had a funeral to prepare for and other researchers showed up unexpectedly so my time was cut very short. The lookups that were requested could not be done today. Please read below for instructions on how to get those lookups. He said that his earliest interment was 1832. The records have been kept alphabetically and include both the plot owner and the person(s) interred therein. He does the lookups and will not just let you go in and go through the books. Nor do they allow copying of these materials. If you decide to call as opposed to writing to him, you will get an answering machine and should leave a message including the name of the person you are searching for. He does not do email/internet. Mr. Olenic North Side Cemetery 1002 N. Main Street Butler, PA 16001 724-283-1627 If I've forgotten anything important, please let me know. Thanks, Pat

Jane, The generations would be: 1.James Campbell, 1783 to 1832 or 1834, married to Sarah Cumberland 2. William S. Campbell, 1812, married to Margaret Fowler 3. James "Ezra" Campbell, 1843 to 1921, married to E. Lila Donaldson 3. Simeon "Hovey" Campbell, 1847 to 1896, married to Caroline Black 3. Margaret A. Campbell, 1853 to 1882, married to J. Wesley Fowler. I am trying to find more on this line. It is sometimes hard, but you find many going by middle names. That makes them even more evasive, Glee

Dear Pat: After I sent my posting, I double-checked and realized that the McQuistions were buried in the South Main Street graveyard, for St. Andrews UP. Barbara Marshall is listed there just before her parents. (She's the last last one on p 579. Her parents are the first ones on page 580) I I am sorry to be confusing. The trouble is I haven't any good feel for the Butler area really. However, the younger McQuistions were also buried in the Northern Cemetery. So I think Andrew Marshall might be buried there. Sincerely, Jane

Jane, St. Andrew's Presbyterian Cemetery is not the Northside Cemetery. That is part of what is called the South Cemetery. It is comprised of burials from St. Andrew's Presbyterian, St. Mark's Lutheran, and the English Lutheran Churches. I find record in St. Andrew's of John, 5-18-1841 and his wife Birdie, 3-5-1837, but no sign of their daughter, Barbara Marshall in the Cemetery inventory for the cemetery. Perhaps they just didn't put a headstone on her grave when she was moved? Pat

That is interesting! Could you give me some more information, such as approx. dates, region. I have Campbells in my database but not enough to link to your guys. Simeon Hovey Campbell MUST have been related to us somehow. Jane

Looking for anyone with the "STUEBGEN" surname. Charles, Sophia, Anna, Henry, Katherine, William F., Ada, George Washington, Agnes, Caroline, Fred Thank you, Beth Stuebgen

Dear Pat: This is an incredibly generous offer to make to us. I have been tracing a particular Marshall family in Butler. The immigrant ancestor John Marshall and wife, Catherine (Truby) Marshall, died of yellow fever in Fairfield County, Ohio, in 1806. However, their children were brought back to Armstrong County and raised by their mother's sister, Mary Ann (Truby) Hovey and her husband D. Simeon Hovey. Then, one of their sons, Andrew Marshall, b. 3 as 1800, d. before 11 March 1839, apparently located in Butler Borough and married Barbara McQuistion/McQuiston, b. abt 1808, d. 31 Aug 1837, daughter of John McQuistion b. 1767, d. 18 May 1841, and Barbara (Arters) McQuistion/McQuiston. Barbara McQuistion, John McQuistion and wife were originally buried in the Butler Borough Cemetery. At some point, that cemetery was paved over or whatever and the bodies of these three folks was moved to the North Cemetery. I found them in the Butler County Cemeteries. However, I never found the grave for Andrew Marshall. There is a possibility he died in Wheeling, West Virginia, but, it is also possible that he was buried beside his wife Barbara and in moving the graves they lost track of Andrew. I don't know if the people who put together that incredible five-volume Butler County Cemeteries checked interment records or just read the tombstones. If you are looking at the interment records, you might see a listing for Andrew Marshall. If you do, I would sincerely appreciate your getting the pertinent information for me. Now, Andrew and Barbara McQuistion had one son, Andrew E. Marshall, b. 31 July 1828, d. bef. 25 mar 1861, who also lived in Butler and was raised by his McQuistion relatives after the death of his parents. He married: Sarah Ellen Daugherty/Dougherty, b. abt 1829, d. between 25 Mar & 13 Apr 1861, in Pittsburgh, PA. In her will Sarah Ellen (Daugherty) Marshall says she is the widow of Andrew E. Marshall, late of Butler. Sarah requested that she be buried in St. Mary's Cemetery (I don't know if that cemetery is in Pittsburgh or Butler County). I don't know if Andrew was buried where she was in this St. Mary's Cemetery, but if he was "late of Butler", it's possible he died in Butler and then Sarah Ellen moved to Pittsburgh. She had Daugherty relatives in Pittsburgh apparently. So, I would appreciate your looking for an Andrew E. Marshall, as well as his father, Andrew Marshall. It is possible that Andrew E. Marshall was buried by his McQuistion relatives, since they raised him and since the McQuistions apparently created/donated that North Cemetery, or the portion of it once/still called St. Andrews United Presbyterian Cemetery. Andrew E. Marshall and Sarah Ellen Daugherty had 5 children, named in Sarah Ellen (Daugherty) Marshall's will: (the oldest) Barbara F. (or E.) Marshall, b. abt 1849, Amelia/Emelia L. (or E.) Marshall, Sarah Anna/Annie Marshall, Andrew P. Marshall, b. abt 1858, and Mary A (or B.) Marshall. Their children were raised by their Dougherty relatives in Clearfield Tp, Butler Co. and I don't supposed they were buried in Butler, but since I haven't been able to find them anywhere else, I thought you might find them in this North Cemetery. Thank you very much for your offer to do these lookups. Jane Cooper

Tomorrow morning I have been given the opportunity to do some lookups at the Northside Cemetery in Butler. This cemetery is along the top of the hill heading north out of the city of Butler. According to the gentleman I spoke to today, they have a listing of all plot owners and who is supposedly interred in those plots. I have no idea how much time he'll permit me to have to search through these tomorrow, but I am willing to look for some more people. If you have someone you have not been able to locate in a cemetery in Butler, that you feel for some reason may be in the Northside Cemetery, please contact me privately at sweeze@zoominternet.net. Please be specific with your search info. Include the name of the person and an approximate time period when they died. Perhaps the names of their spouse or parents if known would help. Until I get there, I'm not sure just how these records are kept. I also will try to find out more info on the availability of these records to the general public while I'm there. Thanks, Pat
