I haven't run into them with my lines Marlene, have you tried records at the Carbon County Courthouse in Jim Thorpe? Another good place to research is at the Lehigh County Historical Society for info prior to 1843 when Carbon was formed from parts of Lehigh and Northampton. I will keep your letters in my files so when I get to do some on site research I can check to see if your families are there. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hi Judy, I"m interested in finding the parents of Heinrich and Susanna Miller and Heinrich's relationship to Daniel and other Miller families who were living Mahoning Valley in the early 1800's. I know that Miller is a very popular Pennsvlvania German name--but I thought that since they were all living in close proximity to one another and some were God-Parents to each others children that perhaps they may be related. Do you know any of these Millers and if there is any relationship to your family? Thank you so much for your kind offer to help.

Just a short thought Marlene, if you are interested in Nathan Miller's origins, the one who married the Haney, I don't know who is parents were. If you descend from Nathan and his wife I have all that. What I can do, (helps to read the instructions to these gen. programs!) is send you a cd of only the Haney and McDaniel lines if you are interested, that would be a snap. If you would like these I can do this in the next week, I would need your mailing address to do so. Then I wouldn't have to send you the entire gedcom, (looks very complicated), and you would have just the families of Haney and McDaniel to contend with.

Hi listers! I?m trying to find the parents of Thomas Brown. He was born October 18, 1814 (according to gravestone in Towamensing Cemetery), presumably in Towamensing Township. He married Rebecca Stroup/Stroub and he appears as a head of household in the 1840, 1850, 1860 and 1870 Censuses in Lower Towamensing. His gravestone puts his date of death as October 20, 1876. Any help would be greatly appreciated! ~Michael Messinger~

Tidbits on short term Mauch Chunkers, this one in Indiana. Website for this information is: http://members.tripod.com/debmurray/kosciusko/kosbioref-3.htm#gmoon HON. GEORGE MOON, DECEASED. To write the personal record of men who have raised themselves from humble circumstances to a position of responsibility and trust in a community is no ordinary pleasure. Self-made men, men who have achieved success by reason of their personal qualities and left the impress of their individuality upon the business and growth of their place of residence and affect for good such institutions as are embraced within the sphere of their usefulness, unwittingly perhaps, built monuments more enduring than marble obelisk or granite shaft. Of such we have the unquestioned right to say belongs the gentleman whose name is well known throughout Kosciusko county and prominently associated with those whose reputations and service exceed the boundaries of the state, Hon. George Moon, deceased. George Moon was born in county Londonderry, Ireland, July 11, 1816. He was a lad of twenty years when, in 1836, he left his native land and sought a home in the new world beyond the seas. Landing in America, he made his way to Pennsylvania, where he remained for one year in the town of Mauch Chunk, and in April, 1837, joined the tide of emigration then rapidly setting toward the Western wilds beyond the Alleghanies, landing in Leesburg, Indiana. John Knowles then lived about three miles south of Warsaw, and the subject had known the family in Pennsylvania. Edward Archibald, a cousin of George Moon, accompanied him to Indiana for the purpose of obtaining land. George went to Leesburg and hired out at eight dollars per month to John B. Chapman, who owned a prairie farm, where he was employed in the laborious task of breaking sod land with five yoke of cattle. Here he remained for six months, but was unable to procure land. Much sickness from fever and ague prevailed at that time, and it was not uncommon to find whole families stricken with that terrible malady. The families of a Mr. Fitch and a Mr. Dinky were sorely afflicted and out of the thirteen souls there were eleven deaths. The country was very flat and swampy and the few physicians were unable to successfully cope with the disease, then almost a scourge. Some went to Lafayette for care. In 1839 Mr. Moon came to Warsaw, which was afterward his home until his death. Jonathan Moon, brother to our subject, was living in Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania, having left Ireland six or seven years before in company with his cousin Archibald, and in the fall of 1837 he came to Indiana. He had some money, bought eighty acres of land, and Archihald entered a tract of one hundred and twenty acres six miles south of Warsaw. That winter Moon and Archibald went to Leesburg and engaged in general merchandising, continuing business until the former's death in 1854. He had accumulated a handsome property, about forty-five thousand dollars, and Archibald also became wealthy. Jonathan Moon left a family, Mrs. Mary (Moon) Cisney, Warsaw, being the only child now in the county. His widow is now the wife of Thomas J. Chapman, of Warsaw. Another brother of George Moon, Edward, came to In(liana about eight years later and engaged in the drug business at Leesburg. Judy -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QdB.2ACI/2651.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Walter, Thank you for the response to my inquiry and for the information. Yes, I'm familiar with the Beaver Brook Cemetery. I was seeking the possibility of other cemeteries between Beaver Brook and Beaver Meadows because it appeared the number of people who lived in the vicinity of Audenried and the number of people in that cemetery didn't add up. A gentleman on another list informed me that by 1907 many of the bodies in St. Pat's were removed and taken to probably near St. Pat's Cemetery in McAdoo. He also attached a newspaper article from the period that stated the very same detail. There is a rather large, unmarked field near St. Pat's (McAdoo) that could be the new burial site for all those persons, including my ancestors. That's why I thought I was missing cemeteries. By the way, if you are mapping the Beaver Brook St. Pat's, see this: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mccem/stpataud/stpat.htm There are some misspellings on that page, but the information is correct according to my own searches ... I was there (again) this past summer taking photos for a woman in Connecticut. Cornelius Nihen is buried with his 5-year old nephew, William Cullinan. I first found that stone in 1982, and the cemetery has sadly deteriorated very much since then. There is another stone (on the ground) for two more of the Cullinan children.

(I have some indication that they moved to Freeland, PA. and the name was spelled Rute.) I can't even locate a date of birth or death. 1850 Census says she was 23 (with an 8 yr old child) and the 1860 Census says she was 28 (with a 17 yr old child ??.) Any leads concerning her birth, parents, siblings, etc much appreciated.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Schwartz Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/QdB.2ACI/2654.1 Message Board Post: Very interesting! An ancestor with a Slavic first name, a German surname, and a supposedly French country of origin! Some things that would help me help you solve the puzzle: You say Wendell was "clearly German or Moravian." On what do you base that claim? Did he speak German? When you refer to "Moravian," are you referring to the ethnic group or the Christian denomination? To clarify your comment "Alsace Lorraine was a German Paletinate and is now part of France": I have ancestors who originated in Switzerland. After the Thirty Years' War in the region that we now call Germany (early 1700s), many Swiss migrated north to become tenant farmers on the land that was vacated by the slaughter of so many peasants during that war. My family settled briefly in Alsace-Lorraine (then German-speaking and called Elsass-Lothringen) before migrating further north into the German-speaking Rhenish Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz). From there, in 1738, they came to America. Alsace-Lorraine was never part of the Palatinate, as you say. The first is currently in France; the second, in Germany. Many families in northern Lehigh County, which is just over the Blue Mountain south from Carbon County, followed a similar pattern. In fact, one area of the county was known as the "Swiss Settlement." These families spoke German. This migration, however, occurred far earlier than your ancestor's arrival. By the time Wendell immigrated, residents of Alsace-Lorraine would have been speaking French, not German. As for religious beliefs, many of the members of the Reformed churches in this part of the state were Swiss Huguenots. Their brand of faith traces itself back to Calvin Zwingli. Some of these Swiss originated in France but migrated into Switzerland when they were persecuted in France. So they may have spoken French or German. Towamensing Union Church was a "union" church, which does not mean, as your post stated, that it was a "combined group." It means that there were two separate congregations that shared a building because neither was numerous enough or wealthy enough to build its own church. Many such churches existed in this part of the state (some still do), and almost all of them were churches shared by a Lutheran congregation and a German Reformed congregation. Sometimes the Lutherans would have services one Sunday and Reformed the next; other times each congregation would have separate meeting times on the same Sunday. A key to your ancestor's origins would be to know which of the two congregations he belonged to. If he was Reformed, his family is more likely to have originated in France or Switzerland; if Lutheran, they are more likely German. There were almost no Catholic congregations in the area until the mid-1800s. FYI: The German Reformed church, through some mid-20th-century mergers, is now part of the United Church of Christ (UCC), so that is how these congregations are currently listed in telephone directories and such. Hope this helps!
