I have found at least 2, and possibly a third, record that are very helpful to me. The first one was the death of Mrs. Nathan Simcox who was nee Anna Maria Shearer, whose father, Jacob Shearer, was a sister of my gt-gt-gt-g'mother, Elizabeth (Shearer) Garbrick. They hailed originally from Codorus Twp, York Co, PA. The other record that was helpful to me was that of Clara Markle who was Clara Ellen (Gardner) Markle, widow of Leslie Emory Markle -- also kin to me through Garbrick connections. Then there is that "mysterious" record for a Lemuel Shearer. Can't help but think that he must belong to me Shearer kin also, but I don't yet know the connection. Thanks so much for sharing.
