Posted on: Pennsylvania Dutch Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Dutch?read=5097 Surname: TROUP, BENNER ------------------------- Seeking any info regarding a Mennonite/Anabaptist migration from Pennsylvania to Welland County, Ontario, Canada circa the late 1790s to early 1800s. My great-grandfather, Henry H. TROUP (12 Nov 1839-14 Feb 1911), was born in Welland Co., ONT. His parents, Benjamin TROUP (b: 1798) and Mary BENNER (b: 1802), moved to Welland Co. from PA sometime between 1798 and 1825. Apparently this move was made with other PA families and may have been part of an organized migration. At age 13 (1852?), Henry and his family moved to Elkhart, Indiana. Is anyone aware of the exact timeframe and circumstances of the PA to ONT migration(s), PA Mennonite group/church involved, or counties/region of PA where the migration(s) may have originated from? I'm trying to narrow the geographical area in PA in which to focus my research and obtain info on Benjamin TROUP and Mary BENNER. Of course, any specific info regarding Benjamin TROUP and/or Mary BENNER would also be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have any information on the Reformed Church that many Germans joined in the 1700s? Thanks Ginger in AZ
Hi: 1790 census, Cocalico Twp, has Henry Sochneider 1 1 1 0 0. He is probably Henry Sackrider b 1767 in New Hanover, Montgomery Co. His marriage and/or the baptism of his young child may have occurred in Lancaster Co. near Cocalico. It is important to me to learn the name of Henry's young son and possibly his wife's name in order to tie the family to church records elsewhere. I presume Henry and family were Lutheran or Reformed. My guess is that this family was in Lancaster Co. for only a short time 1787 -1792 but I feel the parents may have married and birthed their first child there. The wife could be Catherine and the son might be named John. Can some kind person direct me regarding a source for such local church/other records? I have seen the surname recorded as Sackreiter, Sackrider. Sockrider, Sackreuter and other variations. Fletcher in FL
