Hello to everyone on the Carbon County mailing list. After many dead ends, I've just hit a significant lead on my search for the "appropriate" Woodrings. I believe I have located my clan in the 1880 census. They are listed in the 2nd Ward, Mauch Chunk, Carbon, PA. I am researching George and Sarah Woodring and children Creighton, Mary, Calvin, William, and Belden. I believe the child Calvin listed above is my g-grandfather. He married Bridget Swift in Lackawanna County, PA in 1888. The family resided in Scranton and Dunmore, PA. If anyone has any info to share on this family, I would be most appreciative. Also, could someone tell me how to pronounce "Mauch Chuck?" I live in SC and I'm sure I'm doing the name a great dis-service. thanks, janice hart olds [email protected]

Mahlon was originally from Bucks County. I'm not sure whether he and Harriet were married there or in Carbon County, but it probably happened about 1875. In the 1880 census, they are living in Weatherly with daughters Lizzie (4) and Emma (2). In 1900 they are in Lehighton; Lizzie and Emma are no longer in the household (married?). Cannot find the family in 1910. I think Mahlon may have died by then. I believe Mahlon was Lutheran; his father was anyway.
