I'm looking for information on my grandfather's family. They are listed in the 1910 census for Dauphin county, PA. Leroy Consylman (my grandfather) was 6yrs old in 1910. It shows his parents, Frank (33yrs) and Leticia (30yrs). If anyone has any information on this family I'd appreciate an email. Thanks Kathye _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

My JOHNSTON line dates back to at least the mid-1700's in Lancaster Co. in the area later to be formed into Dauphin Co. I feel that in all likelihood I am related to the four JOHNSTON brothers, who according to Engle's Notes and Queries were as follows: Alexander Johnston, of Lower Paxtang township., d. prior to 1793. His brothers were: i. James, m. and had: 1. James, residing in West Pennsboro', Cumberland county, Pa. ii. Gawin, (also known as Gavin, Gan and Gain), m. and had: 1. James 2. Margaret 3. Alexander, residing in the county of York, S. C. iii. Josiah, m. and had: 1. Jane, m. Thomas Orr, residing in Washington county, territory south of the Ohio. 2. Agnes, residing in same place. 3. John, residing in same place. 4. Margaret, m. Samuel Shaw, and had Samuel. Would like to hear from anyone with knowledge of this family. Thanks in advance. Rich

Charlie, I very much appreciate you looking - Thank You. What little I have, other than the listing in the census records, comes from the 1890 Will of James Lynch: "He also mentioned a "small tract of land" known as Ebbecke's land," 7 acres of chestnut timber and pasture land, fenced with post and rail fences." This tract , adjoining land of Jacob Oldweiler, Mr. Weaver, and the River Road, he valued at $600." This line is related through marriage to the Lynch family.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Clint EBERSOLE taken in Hummelstown, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. The photo was taken at the M. E. Bare Studio likely sometime in the 1870's. Clint appears to be in his teens at the time the photo was taken. I'd hoped to locate his family and return the photograph, however, to date I've been unable to locate any relatives. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Hi List, Any suggestions for a source of information on the make-up of Dauphin County government during the late 1700s? I am researching a John Thome, who the PA State archives refer to as the Treasurer of Dauphin County in 1790. I have no further information on when he assumed office or how (election, appointment, etc.). I'd like to find a source (are there County Archives?) that would describe the structure of the county government at this time and would document when various officials took office and left office. Thanks. George

Does anybody know how I can find out more about the Eshenour & Osman General Store that was operating in Oberlin in the 1930's? I came across an ad in a 1931 Swatara Township High School yearbook, of which belonged to my late Father-in-law and I would like to find out more about it and who the Eshenour owner was of that partnership. I have some ideas that it may have been some of our family but need to know where to find the proof for this. Would the State Library be the place to look? Or the Dauphin County Historical Society? What about Middletown Historical Society? I will be in the area researching in a few weeks and would like to try to locate such information. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Betty L. Eshenour

Gregory- I'm sorry I don't have any information on either of the Heim's you are looking for. I have discovered, however, that my gggggunncle, Christian GRIMM, married Elizabeth Heim, I believe in 1816 in Schuylkill Co. Pa. Do you have any connections with Elizabeth?

No I'm not in that line, but I have the inscriptions for that cemetery, and I will mail them out to you. There are several errors on the recorded inscriptions of Fox. When I visited the cemetery in Susquehanna Twp., I noted that there were quite a few German spellings (FUCHS) of the name. There are none listed as Fuchs in the book. I hope this information helps you. Karl Fox

Karl, Thank you for your help. I do not have access to the book. I would very much like your help. Are you of this line of Foxes? My GGrandfather, Christian Fox, left Dauphin Co. & came to Lafayette Co., Mo. by 1860. He fought in the Civil War here. I am so anxious to learn more about his family he left behind in Dauphin Co., Pa. Thank you again, Beverly J.

Beverly Sullins sullins@iland.net > There was an Adam Fox (or Fuchs) family near Campbelltown, now at the very western edge of Lebanon County but before 1813 as part of Dauphin Co. Adam Fox: 7 Mar 1777 - 26 Aug 1854) and his wife Elisabeth [no last name known to me], d. 27 Apr 1822, 42 y 8 d). They are buried at Salem U.C.C. (then the German Lutheran and Reformed) Cemetery, Campbelltown. They had at least the following children: Anna (24 Feb 1806) Elizabeth (b. 24 Sept 1807) Sarah (b. 3 Aug 1808) Susanna (b. 21 March 1811) Margaret (b. 19 Sept 1812) Levi (b. 6 Sept 1813) Thus, the above John Fox was not likely of this family unless John and Anna were twins. Anyone know? Cordially, Karl E. Moyer Lancaster PA
