Surnames: Deeter, Detrich, Deitrich, Hollenbeck, Hollabaugh Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/TdB.2ACI/1836 Message Board Post: Greetings, I have been researching the Deeter families from Crawford & Venango counties. My paternal grandmother was a Deeter and her mother was a Hollenbeck. From 1850 through at least 1880 census there was a George Detrich (Detrix, Detrick, Deeter) living in Wayne Township, Crawford County. According to the death certificate of one of his sons, he was married to an Elizabeth Hollabough. George & Elizabeth had several children: John, George Walter, Susanna, Philip, Louisa, Lydia, Jane & Jacob that I know of. George Sr. was born about 1819 and Elizabeth about 1828. Supposedly they both died between the 1880 & 1900 census and are buried in Peters Cemetery in Canal Township, Venango County. Would anyone happen to have information with regards to this family that you are willing to share? I am looking for parents of both of them as I don't know either. Also looking for dates of death for both. I know that Philip married Louisa Peters. George married Mary Adaline Heffernan, John married Angeline Pressler, Susanna married Samuel Lubold & Jacob married Sarah Ellen Lubold. Also, need death dates for Susanna, Jacob & Philip and any information on Louisa, Lydia and Jane such as who they married, children, death dates, etc. I am a descendant of Daniel Deeter who died in 1894. I have proof that Daniel was a son of Leonard Deitrich who lived in Wayne Township near George Detrich. Leonard died in August 1865. Many researchers have these two families mixed up and I am trying to sort them out. I have suspicions that they are somehow related as many members of both families lived near each other from 1850's to present day and some even relocated to Canal Township, Venango County together and continue to live near each other to present. Other members of both families have even inter-married over the years. I look forward to hearing from anyone who has information they are willing to share with regards to these Deeter (Deitrich, Detrich) and Hollabaugh families found in this area. From 1850 onwards I find 2 distinct families. I assume that John (born about 1800) and George Hollibough (born about 1798) must have been brothers? Does anyone know where these families moved from? Other researchers even have said that some of my Joseph Hollenbeck family are from the same family as the Hollibaughs but I don't have any proof to substantiate this claim. Would welcome any related information. Kind regards, Michael Teed Jensen Beach, Florida
