We now have a person working on the history of Bellefonte. I still need an assistant to do the history of Union Cemetery! Do we have any takers? Ellen

Hello all, The CCGS publications committee is nearing completion of the book on Bellefonte Cemeteries -- now don't start asking me when it will be ready!!!!!!!!!!! Good things take time! We need your assistance with two things: First : a brief history (no more than one page) of the town of Bellefonte. It could be taken largely from Linn's history with a bit of additional info thrown in as you are able. Second: a history of Bellefonte Union Cemetery. I have tons of articles and pictures that could be used. I'm willing to share those items with someone in Centre County as I don't want to mail them to anyone. Email me for more details if you are interested in either of these assignments. I need your finished products by June 21 as I will be away on vacation later in the summer. Ellen, CCGS publications chair

In which newspaper did this appear? In which township or borough did the death occur? For your other question I would recommend contacting the York County Historical Society.

Hello, I am seeking some advice as to where to look for my ancestor. According to his tombstone, my ancestor, Martin ZEIGLER (ZIEGLER, ZEGLER, etc) was born 1778-1779 and from census records, that he was born in PA. The earliest record I have of him is in Latimore Twp, Adams Co, PA. in 1807. I know that Adams Co came from York co in 1800. He migrated to Newport, Oliver Twp, Perry Co, PA about 1820-1830 and died there. Many years ago someone in my family had found a mention of my ancestor's grandson somewhere in a Centre Co newspaper article (I have their notes) but I have no further information. The article they found was very brief and just stated that a son of Solomon Zeigler and his wife (Harriet McGarvey) died at three weeks of age. The date of the newspaper was Aug 19, 1889. It said his name was Mark and that he was a twin. (Solomon was a grandson of my ancestor Martin mentioned above. Solomon's father was also named Martin.) I would LOVE to find out more about these twins!!! Where was Mark buried? What happened to the other twin?? Would the death of a stillborn or infant that died prior to this Mark be reported in the same newspaper?? Neither of these twins appear in any census records. But I am wondering why this article would be found in Centre County if they lived in Perry Co??? Where would an infant who died at 3 weeks old be buried?? He is not in Newport where the mother is buried. (The father, Solomon still remains a mystery to me but he had migrated to Harrisburg, Dauphin Co, PA about 1900 after he and Harriet divorced.) Can anyone shed some light on why they would be mentioned in Centre Co? Where would be the best place to search records for a situation like the death of the twins in 1889? Can anyone tell me the best place to go to search records for the 1700's for the area of York Co that became Latimore Twp? Thank you, Elizabeth

Jim, A good starting point for learning about the warrant/patent terminology is at the PA Archives website: http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/land_records/3184. Basically, the 5-step warrant/patent process transferred title of the land from the Commonwealth to a private citizen. From that site: "Application - a request for a warrant to have a survey made; usually a slip of paper that does NOT bear applicant's signature. Warrant - certificate authorizing a survey of a tract of land; initiates title of a property and provides the basis for legal settlement, but does not convey all rights to the property. Survey - sketch of boundaries of tract of land with exact determination of total acreage. Return - verbal description of property boundaries; function is similar to that of a patent; internal document sent from Surveyor General to Secretary of the Land Office Patent - final, official deed from the Penns or the Commonwealth, which conveys clear title and all rights to the private owner." I'm assuming that you may have already been to this site, based on the fact you have the information and dates from these warrants and patents? If not, you can find them indexed on that site also, as well as the copied survey books which show the two Centre County properties. For an in-depth reference source, I would recommend "Pennsylvania Land Records" by Donna Bingham Munger. It will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about them! I think there might be a preview on Google books. Looking at the description of the older property, it is not the same area as the newer warrants. The older warrant was in Cumberland County in 1769, but is probably in Huntingdon or Fulton County now, depending on exactly where it was located. Sideling Hill Creek runs roughly along the borders of Huntingdon and Fulton Counties, turning south through Fulton County. Based on this description of Raystown Crossing and the Lincoln Highway (http://books.google.com/books?id=PlYMAAAAYAAJ&dq=%22raystown%20crossing%22&lr&as_brr=1&pg=PA66#v=onepage&q=%22raystown%20crossing%22&f=false), it would seem likely that the property was somewhere near or in the Buchanan State Forest (near Breezewood). The two properties in Centre County appear to be in what is now Clinton County, one along Beech Creek, the other along the Tangascootack.

It is described as N 23 W 202 on the North West, S32 E148 on the South West, N23 W202 on the North East of an irregular piece of property.

Margaret DeHaas from Beech Creek a mile or two from this Fisher family listed below is married to George Updegrove Swarts and a cousin to the Elizabeth and John Fisher I am trying to locate. Being located so close and the same time period it may be this John Fisher family that Elizabeth Quickel married into. I believe according then to your names below Thomas Fisher married Elizabeth Huntley and they were of Yorkshire, England and their son Thomas Fisher married Elizabeth Lamborn and their son is William b 1754 -1845 is located in Howard Dam area. My John could be a possible son of William married to Hannah Packer. If there are any living descendants living in PA or this Clinton Centre Co area I would like to make a contact. OR if you have them in your tree. Connie Philip4@comcast.net -----Original Message----- 1. Re: John Fisher (Jeann8lte@aol.com) --------------------------------------------------------------------- If memory serves me right, abt. 1804 counties were rearranged in PA and Centre was formed from parts of Huntington and Lycoming and Clinton may have had parts of Lycoming added to it. In my family I trace back to William Fisher b. Jan 22, 1754 in Chester County and died July 3, 1845. He was a Quaker and married to Hannah Packer. They settled near where the Howard Dam is today. The grave yard is still there along the road. He had many children and married them into other Quaker families. Two of his wife's nephews became important politicians. He gave a lot of young men a start on their way. His father was Thomas Fisher 1727-1791 in Chester County and he was married to Elizabeth Lamborn. They were part of the Kennet Meeting. Thomas's father was Thomas Fisher from Yorkshire and he married Elizabeth Huntley. His parents were born abt. 1658 in Yorkshire and were John Fisher and Margaret Hindle. I do not have the names of the children that are not in my direct line, but perhaps this will help you find if you are sibling or cousin to some of these names. Hope that this helps also try the genealogy societies in Lycoming, Centre and Clinton Counties.' Jean

I should add that for a complete list of all currently known Centre County Revolutionary War veterans, the work of Nancy Stover, available in both book and CD-ROM, on the American Revolution Patriots of Centre County, is an extremely valuable resource.

Carolyn, Yes, it is part of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial in front of the courthouse. This memorial includes all veterans known to those who were responsible for organizing the completion of the monument in 1906. The vast majority of these are Civil War, but there is a panel or two for Revolutionary War veterans. This site has wonderful pictures of the Bellefonte area, and includes one of the monument here: http://www.bellefontearts.org/Smith_pages/Smith_diamond.htm Everybody should look at that site and enjoy some of the old Bellefonte photos there. Some of them are rather rare and quite amazing. I don't know of a list for this monument online. The Centre County Library in Bellefonte may have such a list; it seems to me that Joyce Adgate mentioned it one time, but Joyce can correct me if I'm wrong about that. It is also quite possible that the list was published in the newspapers around the time the monument was dedicated in 1906, either as a keepsake or in the process of gathering names, to notify the public of what the committee had, and to solicit additional names to make sure that there was a complete list. There is also a monument to the Revolutionary War veterans of Penns Valley area who are interred in the Stover Cemetery at the Stover Cemetery in Haines Township. This cemetery probably contains the highest percentage of known Revolutionary War veterans among its inhabitants of any cemetery in Centre County.

I have assumed that she was the youngest child and that her mother died about the time she gave birth to Beulah. I am sure I have more info on the Templetons than I had in 2001. I have a picture of Beulah, Jr. that my grandmother left me, which I used on my Ancestry tree. If you go to Gideon Smith of Pennsylvania you should find a lot of my info.

I was delighted to receive a reply to my original inquiry, from NINE years ago! I referred Carol to my tree on Ancestry, which probably is where she found the information on Beulah Templeton, born 1803. Carol's ancestor Lemuel Templeton was born in 1774 so it took me some time to realize he was Beulah's brother, given the age difference. I have more information on the Templetons since I posted my original message and will gladly share it. Thanks to the Clinton County Genealogical Society's 2006 publication of original land surveys, I located William Templeton's 400 acres. I tried to figure out its location for several years, and had no idea I was driving through it every time I got off Route 80 and onto 220 going toward Lock Haven.

Did you know that disease was the leading cause of death in the Civil War? Did you know that the second leading cause of death was the famed .58 caliber "minie" ball? What were some of the nicknames soldiers gave to the imported weapons, and what was the favorite firearm of the foot soldier? These questions and more will be answered in Steve Jury's presentation entitled "Firearms of the Civil War." So come to The Perry Historians / Harry Lenig Library near New Bloomfield, Perry Co., PA. on Sunday, May 23, 2010 at 2:00 p.m., and hear Steve discuss the never ending problem of how to supply firearms for millions of soldiers, and how technology improved in firearms during the four years of the war. >From smooth bore to rifled muskets, to breech loading rim fires, Steve has it all. Many of the firearms Steve talks about will be on display for guests to view along with a demonstration on loading procedures for muzzleloaders, and a question and answer period. If the Civil War or firearms in general are of interest to you, we think you will enjoy this presentation. Light refreshments will be served following the presentation. This is FREE to all and all are welcome to attend!

Hello, Thank you for this advice. I am too far away to visit the library. I have found the 1840 census for Felix Short. He was listed twice. Both in Centre Co. and in Cambria Co. PA. I have known about his 1840 census listing in Cambria Co. for 10 years. However, I did not know he was counted twice in the same census year, so this is NEWS to me! How can I see his 1840 census listing in Centre county? Is there anyone with access to that year? I tried to find it by googling but couldn't. I would like to see if Owen Short was with him? Also, would like to compare the number of kids and age ranges. I don't have any subscriptions. I could not find Owen Short in the 1840 census. I know that this man existed because of the obit for Felix Short mentioned him, but no location or other info, except that he was dead prior to 1893. As far as Hugh Short is concerned, he is a totally NEW name to me. I don't know how he fits into my family. Yes. Thank you for thinking about the Ledoux books. Felix Short and family are all recorded in it and this has been a great source of information. Felix Short and family are mainly buried in St. Benedict's, Carrolltown, Cambria, PA.
