Thanks for the offer. Could you look to see your CD contains anything on the parents of HENRY JOSEPH BEYERLE? He was born in 1823 in Pennsylvania and married Lydia Bixler, date unknown. I have most of his movements and history after he left Pennsylvania and went to Indiana if anyone is interested. He was my gg grandfather. Thanks again, Bob Beyerle shirbob311@aol.com

Hello Listers! For years I have searched for the answers to many questions. One of the problems that I have is that there are around 70 variations on my surname over the years (I’ve listed them at the bottom). Some are still around and some have gone by the way side. Not to mention the variations brought about by the use of computers and type writers. Over the years there has been much assumed but there exists no physical evidence. It is the evidence that I am looking for right now. I implore each of you to assist me in resolving these questions. I am seeking the parents and siblings of Henry Lushbaugh. Henry Lushbaugh was born in 1751 and according to his Revolutionary War pension records he was born in PA.. He enlisted in 1776 serving in Capt. John Harris' company of Col William Cook's 12th Pennsylvania German Regiment for three years enlisting from Sudbury, PA. He was at the battles of Piscataway and Ash Swamp He married Catharine Keefer a daughter of Martin Keffer and Mary Eve Lorentz both Keefer’s are of Strassburg, Germany. Soon after leaving the Army he went up the Susquehonna River and founded a place called "Lushbaugh’s Landing" Henry was a shoemaker and a farmer and died in Lycoming Co. PA some time after 1834. Lushbaugh is sometimes spelled Lorschbach. In about 1835 filed for pension in Lycoming County, PA. Next is Johann Conrad Lorsbach one of 10 children and the twin of Carl Ludwig Lorsbach. Johann Conrad is suspected to be the father of Henry Lushbaugh. I need to get information on Johann’s descendants! I need to prove or disprove the connection. Germany: 1722 December 09, Johan Conrad Lorsbach is born in Lampertheim, Germany 1728 Aug. 31, Johann Conrad’s Father dies. Months after his father’s death his mother, Anna Christina, married Johann Wilhelm Bechtold 1729 Sept.16, Acted as God Father (at age 7) for the family of Johann Georg Hauck and Anna Maritha Hauch. The little one was also named Johann Conrad, of course. 1730 An older sister Anna Christina Lorsbach married Johann Leonhard Grass a man from Alzey 1731 Johann Conrad’s Grand father dies 1735 Johann Conrad’s mother dies 1736 First Admission to Holy Communion 1746 Johann Conrad’s Step Father dies AMERICA: November 17, 1748 marries Susanna Herb at Faulker Swamp Reformed Church, Montgomery, Pa., 1749 Oct 16, there appears an ad in Sower's Newspaper stating Johann Conrad Lorschbach, near the stone church, Old Goshenhoppen 2/2/1756 Acted as a witness to the will of Jacob Hauck of "Oxforth" Township, Essex Co. in New Jersey? Johann Conrad signs it as Conrad Lorsbach. Proved (in Hunterdon Co.) March 14, 1757. Susanna had an illegitimate son George Adam Gabel February 10, 1762, the father was rumored to be Johann Gabel. What happened to Johann Conrad between 1736 and when he show up in America in 1748. How did he get here? When did he get here? What about children between 1748 and 1762? Henry Lushbaugh fits in being born in 1751 three years after Johann and Susanna are married. Where was Johann Conrad Lorsbach between Feb. 2 1756 and Feb. 10, 1762 (or perhaps 9 months before the birth May 1761)? Did Johann and Susanna get a divorce? Did Johann take a trip perhaps back to Germany on some sort of family business? Or did Johann pass away some time between 1756 and 1762? Where was Johann buried? Did he move up on the Susquehonna River with Henry Lushbaugh? What happened to Susanna? Well that provides the information that I have and just the beginning of the questions. I hope that someone out there can give me some answers. Thank you all for your help.

I have the CD-Rom CD019 Egle's Notes and Queries. I will make a one- shot volunteer effort for anyone reading this letter, in doing lookups. I would offer it more, but I expect I might be swamped, endlessly. It is a great database. I can send you scans of the pages. Jpg files. I cannot possibly type the requests out.

William Henry Egle's Notes and Queries refers to Hill Church in Derry Township, (I believe in present day Dauphin County.) I do not have access to these Notes and Queries and can not check this - but the MATER Baptism I am interested in was dated 1762. Egle's Notes were first published in the Harrisburg Daily Telegraph between 1879 and 1895. Since Dauphin County was formed in 1785 Egle could properly refer to Hill Church in Derry Township, Dauphin County. But at the time of the Baptism in 1762 the church would have been in Lancaster County. Would someone please confirm that there was a Hill Church in 1762 in Derry Township, in what is now Dauphin County that was in 1762 Lancaster County. If the church is still extant where is it located? I have already had most helpful info from several researchers on these lists which has allowed me to sort out some of my confusion and I would appreciate your further assistance. Regards to the list Hal

Linnea - thank you for the answer. Also seems another county was formed at the same time so there was a big drop in people in the county. I wasn't aware of the splits. Certainly makes sense. Bob

Thanks for the answer Bill Bob

Why where there so many less people in Dauphin Co in 1820 than there were in 1810 ? There is a BIG difference. Plague or exodus or just a new way of counting people ?? Bob Sheetz

My favorite website to locate on-line newspapers throughout the USA is: www.hometownnews.com I've found quite a few that allow free searches of archives. Good luck, Elida in SC

John and Coleen, You can try the below link. Quite a few nation-wide newspapers have a website. Some will let you search there archives and copy the information free of charge. Most either do not have archives or they are charging a small fee for the information. Most of the archives only go back as far as 1990. <A HREF="http://www.newspapersol.com/usa.html">U.S. Newspapers and Online Media Guide</A> Good luck, Donna Thomas

I just got on to www.pennlive.com. It has the current news, but I did not see any archives. I'm also interested in a historical obit and have asked them if they have online archives. Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: Coleen [mailto:bearywise@earthlink.net] Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2001 12:49 PM To: PADAUPHI-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [PADAUPHI] Patriot News Website Would someone please post The Patriot News website so that I can find a recent obituary that I missed in the paper?

Hi All, Rev. Simon DRESHBACH was a minister probably in Dauphin Co. c.1847. He was probably associated with the United Bretheran Church. What Church was he pastor of? He is supposed to have married Catherine KINPORTS & David WENRICH in 1847. If I could find his church, perhaps I could find the marriage record. Thanks for any and all help. Regards, Jackie Jackie Pratt San Antonio, TX

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I do not have any more information on my George Bumgardner b. 1790 PA and his wife Barbara b. 1795 PA , other than they moved to Indiana form PA after 1830 and before 1840. Thanks Joe Evans
