For Darla-- Whenever you have time, what Peters family listings are in this directory? Many thanks--Pat Roberts

Darla Would you please check your book for any Leipharts (Liepharts) for Crawford. My ggg grandfather is Adam Leiphart & I believe he may have had a brother in the area named Samual. Thanks in advance for offering this look up. Deb

Do you all realize you can tap into the 1880 census for Crawford County through the LDS site, familysearch.org ? You will be able to learn who was in the household, who the neighbors were, etc. All you need is your ancestor's name. It's a really nice resource.

Thanks so much Darla: When you have time (and I seriously mean don't push yourself!!!) I'd love whatever is listed -- you see, my grandfather was the son of two Watson parents -- in turn, his mother Sinia (Sina) was the daughter of two Watson parents -- The families moved back and forth between Crawford and Venango (Oilcreek Twp.) Counties -- by my figuring, I'm probably related to just about every Watson in those areas!!!!! Now I just have to straighten out who belongs to who!!!! Thank you so much for your time and trouble. If I can ever be of help (I live in Erie) please don't hesitate to ask.

Hello, Darla -- Were there any BOLSTERs in 1879-1880 Crawford Co. Directory? Many Thanks. Sally (Bolster) Holcombe <[email protected]>

There were records kept at the county level between 1893 and 1905. Have you tried them for your ancestor? They are kept in the office of the Clerk of Courts at the Court House. Meadville obituary abstracts are available at the Crawford Co. Historical Society in Meadville. I do not know if there was a Conneaut Lake paper at that point.

Here is what I found: Stevens, E.G. page 191 telegraph operator, 442 Randolph Street, Meadville G.B. page 123 farmer, Summerhill township, Norrisville Post Office G.W. page 26 farmer & blacksmith, Conneaut township, Conneautville George W page 127 farmer, Summit Township, Harmonsburg Post Office Business: Stevens & Hill, page 133 merchants, Townville Stevens, CP & Co. page 60 undertaking and furniture, Linesville Stevens, G.L. & Co, page 191 physician and oculist, 442 Randolph Street (G.L. is Gilbert L. Stevens I think) There are other Stevens also but no more G or George's. Let me know if you would like other names. I hope this helps.
