Martin Miller is a confused one, as there were two martin Millers married and having children at the same time. The Martin Miller m to Catherine Link is a brother of Philip Miller and Martin and Philip are children of of Jacob Miller who in the 1850 Census is living in Carrolltown with his daughter Maria/Mary married to [ ] Fongheiser. In the previous ten years they all, except Philip were listed in and around what is now Blair County, the Hollies area. Jacob, the father, had a wife named Elizabeth [ ], but I don't know where she died. There was a brother named David and one name Casper. Philip did not come with them, he migrated from Heltersberg, Rhineland, about 1845 or so and worked in the coal mines in Willksbarre Township--he is in the 1850 Census there. He is in Elder Township [I think it is called Chest Township then] in 1860. Philip married Elizabeth Henges before he immigrated, and she joined with with Adam [his son] about 1848. Catherine [m my uncle Baltzer Kline] and P.P/ [Philip Peter] [m Henrietta Hattie Smith] were born in the East before coming here. A younger child, Elizabeth married my g-grandfather Louis Kline, brother of Baltzer, above]. We have been arguing the possibility that the Catherine Henges who was married to John Born and Adam Haas was a siter of Catherine. In Catherine's obit, it says she has one sister, Mrs. Peter Milller. That is not "Philip", of course, but Philip does not have a middle name, but one of his children is P.P. or Philip Peter and another is Peter. Anyone Know?

Kline married a Fletcher. I don't have his name. Is the the one you refer. I would just love to add to my Bender files. This Margaret Link would be a Lantzy descendant from John Lantzy and Mary Whitehead. Then a Kline descendant from Jacob and Elizabeth Kline. I guess that is how you are related She also is the granddaughter of Lucinda A. Bender Link who is my great grand dads sister which is how she is related to me.

She died young in an automobile crash. Patty was the youngest child, and Tom was one or two above her. The older girls were our babysitters. Mrs. Fletcher was a cousin through the Link family.

My grandparents on my dad's side came from Poland about 1911. My grandparents Stanley and Agnes were married and had a child prior to Stanley leaving to the USA to get work to obtain money. This way he could pay for the voyage for Agnes and Aunt Stella. Stanley and two of his brothers settles in Chicago and started a meat market. I never found his two brothers. After about a year, Stanley had sent for his family. By this time Aunt Stella was about 7 years old. Agnes's parents did not want Stella to leave. They were old. So Aunt Stella was left behind to live with her moms parents. The first born child in the USA to Stanley and Agnes was in Chicago. This was my Aunt Lillian. The family then moved to New Jersey and then to Pennsylvania. Stanley and Agnes had settled in Westbranch for a little while and then finally in Heilwood. This was just before 1920. The rest of the children were born between these two places. As the children of Stanley and Agnes grew they moved form home. The girls married local boys and left. The boys married local girls went into the military and left. My dad was the only one to stay in the area. The rest of my cousins Uncles and Aunts live in Michigan, New York, California, Washington and Illinois. Not many of them like genealogy. Stanley died in the early 1960's and is buried in St. Patricks cemetery in Camerons Bottom just off to the right of the old church as you are facing the doors. Agnes lived much longer and moved in with family in Michigan and is buried in Mount Olivet cemetery in Detroit. My Aunt Stella came to the USA on one trip. She spent about a year here visiting family. this was in the late 70's and I had left home already. I never got to meet her but I do have pictures. She returned to poland and she is buried some where in the Jarwiny, Maolpolska, Poland area. Many of her children are still alive and My Uncle Louis writes them often. None of them speak English and Uncle Louis speaks fluent Polish. I ask him a question he writes the family in Poland. They write back with the answer. None of then have telephones Surprisingly, there is another Stanley Augustine (Stanislaw Augustyn) who is a couple years different in age than my grandfather that settled in Carrolltown. I am thinking that Barbara is his grand daughter. Please read the story I attached. I never did find my grandfather on a ship in Ellis Island. There were 25 of them I could not tell them apart. I guess Stanley Augustine in Poland is like Joe Smith in the USA. There are tons of them. I did find Agnes. See below. Is this your Barbara August 2, 2007 Fletchers note 50th anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Fletcher of Hampton, Va., have noted their 50th wedding anniversary with an informal outdoor gathering with family, friends and neighbors at their home.
