Hello- I am searching for the parents of Israel H. Skinner b. 1/23/1809 and Reuben Skinner b. 1801. They were born in NJ. Both brothers lived in Crawford Co, Meadville, PA at the 1830 and 1840 Census. Israel H. Skinner married Pollyann Dickson in 10/1832, Reuben Skinner married a Jane Pearce. In 1844 they settled in Sandwich, Illinois. We have extensive information on them and their siblings(Eliza Fox(Spouce Aaron Fox),Cornelius, John b. 8/22/1806, Jesse, and Mary. However, we have no clue as to the name of their parents. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Ingrid Skinner, Twin Lakes, WI

We have just learned that great grandfather Michael Lewis Feury b. about 1834/poss 1831 in County Clare, Ireland (came to US about 1837/poss 1834 when he was three) was supposed to have lived in Titusville for many years. Came to Michigan by about 1876. His father was Daniel Feury/Furey/Fury and mother was Mary Crow who are the people I'm looking for in Titusville. Any help would be appreciated. Gary & Judy Griffin

Have you tried posting the list to the Ohio list?? Maggie_Ohio-L@rootsweb.com Lisa

Hello, If you want the info this guy is trying to sell you go to LDS and a few other sites on the web and they have the film and no cost for the catalog!

Hello, I watch I wait , I do not like people who try to sell things VIA any LIST. This is as annoying as getting a recording for a sales pitch! PLEASE KEEP these People off the list! Vanda Vanda444@aol.com I would not BUY the book if it was the last one in the world BECAUSE of the way it was marketed! I truly doubt it is anything BUT a sham and a way to make money off of trusting souls!

Hi... I own a book titled "Southern Wood County Oral History Project" by Joseph Arpad. It is basically a book about the oil boom in Cygnet, Ohio in Wood County. When the oil boom hit Cygnet the town became very populated with people from Pennsylvania. A lot of them from the Titusville area. I have gone through the book and written down all the names of people that came from PA to this oil boom town. I thought if some of the folks on the digest had family that worked in the oil and they didnt' know where they went, this might help. Many of the folks that were interviewed said that their parents and grandparents came from PA but they didn't give their names. Here is a list of the names that I did find in the book that came from PA. Thomas Walsh came 1885 from Titusville George Grant from Titusville Jim McGuire 1886 from Titusvill Walter Hovis 1884 from Oil Creek The following just said from PA: Henry Apple Jacob Apple Mary Neier Jacob Neier Ben Sigworth William Hamman Joe Doyle 1903 Addie L. Slane Greer Imbrie Samuel Rickard John Myers Pete McVelia Robert Green Ralph Moran 1892 Mr. Porter Fred Sager Ralph Shaffer Mr. Sherrod L. Franklin Smith Andrew Merrill I have a family that was in Titusville in 1870. They eventually came to Cygnet where I find them in 1900. I don't know where they were inbetween. The name was Thomas Hodson. I was hoping that this might help someone that lost their relatives after the Titusville oil boom. Best Wishes Vicky Stozich

Found this while doing a lookup for a query - Hope it helps someone E. D. Baldwin was born in Crawford county, Pennsylvania, March 26, 1846. His father, Isaac S. Baldwin, was a native of Vermont, though he moved to New York when he was very young and remained there until he was thirteen years old, then moved to Pennsylvania where he still resides. Mr. E. D. Baldwin came to Ohio in 1877, in October, and settled in Bristol township upon the farm where he now lives. He is engaged in general farming and has one hundred and thirty-seven acres of good land. He was married in 1877 to Miss Elizabeth McMahan, daughter of Thomas McMahan of Howland township. Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin are members of the Congregational church and are good citizens.

Hi All: Some weeks ago, while I was out of town, someone was interested in Litwiler. I have a Geraldine Litwiler who married Victor Sherman Bollard. I also believe I have some clippings on other Litwilers. I have an Eli T. Gehr whose daughter married a Bollard ... I'll have to check my notes on that one. I also have a couple of clippings on Gehrs. If whoever is interested would get in touch, I'll be happy to trade information. Remember, if anyone comes across ANYTHING about a Bollard, I'm interested. I have about a 50 page work on the Bollards of Crawford County and their descendants. The 100th Bollard Reunion is this summer in Linesville. Thanks Don Bollard 913-648-6312 (home) 816-471-6900 (office) stb@gvi.net

High Everybody! I am a descendent of Joseph Armstrong Sr.. His wife is Sarah Anna Daniels. Joseph Armstrong and Sarah arrive in Crawford County from Westmoreland County, Pa. (1799). I need to know if anybody has been able to extend this Armstrong line past Westmoreland county. Who are Joseph Armstrong's parents? Where was Joseph when he was younger? I have one possible theory, but am trying to get more proof of this line. If anybody can answer this question, I can be reached at dkroeker@connect.ab.ca Dale Kroeker
