This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Hale Bovenmier Doner Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/JaB.2ACE/3011 Message Board Post: I am told that there are hard copy files on Hale, Bovenmier, and Doner in the library. My grandfather was John Hale who is buried in the ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH GRAVEYARD NEWVILLE, NEWTON TWP., CUMBERLAND CO. PENNSYLVANIA. HALE; Margaret Catharine d. 9-25-1850, b. 3-4-1836, d/o Mary M. John d. 9-16-1854, b. 10-6-1775 Mary M. d. 10-6-1858, b. 9-5-1781 John may have been from Cumberland, Lancaster, or Berks county. I'm fairly sure his wife Mary M. was a Bovenmier and from Lancaster. John Had a son John E. Hale born May or July 1803. He married Doner who I think was from Lancaster. John Hale Sr's father may have been Peter Hale, who may have been from Lancaster. Or even Berks. I need any info on these surnames please. If there are costs for copies I will pay in advance. I'm located in Madison co. Arkansas if you need any help from here. Thank you Jim Hale

Perry was formed from Cumberland in 1820. Juniata Township then became part of Perry County. Kathy

Dear Searchers, I found a Michael ROBISON [also found spelled ROBINSON AND ROBERTSON] on the 1800 and 1810 Fed. Census, Juniata Twp., Cumberland Co. PA. By 1820, I believe this man had moved ,with his family, to Pike Co., OH. In checking the 1820 Census for Cumberland, I did not find a Juniata Twp., but found that township in Perry Co. I also found a Michael ROBISON in that township in Perry Co., in the 1820 Census. Question:: Did that township become a part of Perry Co., when it was formed in 1820 from Cumberland? Is anyone researching or know anything about the ROBISONS/ROBINSONS of Cumberland and/or Perry Co??? Thanks for your help, Patt Fulton Austin, TX e-mail: PattFulton@aol.com

Jacob and Esther are buried in the Greenlawn Cem. near Crestline, Sandusky Twp. Richland Co. Jacob and Esther's son Jacob moved to washington Co., IA ca 1847.

Maria Howells b abt 1817 in UK. married Rev william McCandlish b 1810. They had two children: Edwin and Robert Clelland McCandlish. Maria had two brothers;Charlie and Thomas Best Howells three sisters-Mary,Eliza, and Emily Susanah Howells. Emily was the mother of the famous Indian Mohawk Poetress-Paulene Johnson from Ontario. Their father was Henry Charles Howells b 1784 Hay Wales. I believe he was married twice. 1st- Mary Best mother of above children. 2nd unknown- but lots of kids-could be my line. I believe there were 12 children in the family of Henry Charles parents. Parents were Thomas Howells b 1739 in Leintwardine, Hereford Wales. married Susanhah Beesly babt 1744 London England. Thomas was a quaker. His father wa! s either George or John Howells from Hay Hereford Wales. They were clock makers in England and had textile mills in Wales. Well off financially.

Jacob Heffelfinger married esther Lime, sister of Elizabeth and they all moved, even the Lime parents to Richland Co., OH. Jacob and Esther are buried in the Greenlawn Cem. near Crestline, Sandusky Twp. Richland Co. Jacob and Esther's son Jacob moved to washington Co., IA ca 1847. If any of this is familiar i wonder if you have the parents of Jacob Heffelfinger , was it Philip Heffelfinger and Catharine Eichholtz? Thanks. Jane
