Dear list. I live in Cuernavaca, Mexico and hope that someone will have WEAVERS, WEBBERS that connect to my WEAVERS in ROWAN COUNTY, NC. 1. My g-g-g-g-grandmother, CATHERINE WEAVER, was born October 8, 1771. I don't know if it was in PA or in NC. She died August 8, 1846. She married BARNABAS/BERNHARD KIMEL or KIMLING before 1795. I also suspect that his family came from PA to ROWAN, NC. 2. I have a CHRISTIAN WEAVER, b. abt. 1770, who I think if CATHERINE WEAVER's brother. He married CATY LEATHERMAN, Nov. 14, 1813, ROWAN 3. In the 1790 ROWAN federal census there is listed: GEORGE WEAVER JACOB WEAVER STEPHEN WEAVIL 4. I found on familysearch a JOHN WEAVER who married ELIZAETH BIDDLE, listed as parents of JACOB WEAVER who may also be a brother of CATHERINE WEAVER. 5. There is also listed a JOHN WEAVER, b. 1779, married ANNA MARIA YOUNTS. Please contact me if you have any possible connections or ideas about where I might search. Thanks so much, Patty

Posted on: Pennsylvania Dutch Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Dutch?read=5075 Surname: English, Snyder, Frazier, Wimer ------------------------- I am from Butler County PA. My maiden name is English, my great grandfather was David English (Civil War Vet), married to Catherine Frazier, my grandparents were Howard Stuart English and Elverda Curry, her mother was a Stuart. My family has lived in Butler County, for my father's life and my mother's life and all my life, which by the way she is a Morrow direct descendant of the Wimer's. I realize this may be a stretch but my great grandfather is buried behind The United Presbityrian Church in Prospect PA. Could it be possible they were related? This is the closest we have come to any connection. I still have family in Butler County and my Mother still lives in Prospect. If you feel there is a connection please let me know because this is very important to my brother as he is the only male in my family, 7 girls, 1 boy. I hope you respond, because like I said this is important to my family. Janice English Herbert This was not in response to the Wimer Family, because my connection to that family has been traced for years, however, I am looking for any information on the English Family. If you want information on the Wimer's of Butler County we may be able to help you as we have extensive family tree booklets from our reunions.

Hello! I have very little information on this ancestor and hope someone on the Pennsylvania Dutch web recognizes her name or perhaps can offer ideas and/or directions on where I can look. The SWANGEL(L) name is one of my brick walls. A fellow JOHNSON researcher wrote that Sarah Ann was Pennsylvania Dutch and that her parents (possibly new to the county) had been killed by Indians. I have found the name listed as SWANGEL, SWANGELL, SWANGLE, possibly SWINGLE and SWANGO. The IGI lists a Johan C. SWANGEL and Elizabeth STROUP marrying 3 January 1833 in Harrison Co., OH. There is a John SWANGLE marrying Agnes SUDDETH 21 November 1839 in Harrison Co., OH. There are a number of SWANGO marriages in KY, earliest is Abraham SWANGO marrying Nancy ROSE 5 August 1824 in Gallatin, KY. 1830 Ohio census, Pickaway Co., OH lists a Charles SWANGLE and Michael SWINGLE. 1840 Ohio census lists a John C. SWANGEL in Harrison Co., OH. 1850 Greene Co., Ohio census lists Sarah A. SWANGLE was 17, born about 1833, in Ohio, living with Israel and Catharine McELDARY and family. 1860 Poweshiek Co., Iowa lists James, Sarah and family. 1870 Mahaska Co., Iowa lists James, Sarah and family 1880 Linn Co., Kansas lists Sarah and children, youngest child is 4 years old; James C. is not listed. On 22 August 1854, Sarah married James C. JOHNSON (born @1834, Greene Co., OH). James C. JOHNSON was the son of John D. and Martha (JOHNSON) JOHNSON. Although Sarah A. (SWANGEL) JOHNSON traveled to Washington to visit some of her children around 1893/4, she died in Kansas. Sarah A. (SWANGEL) and James C. JOHNSON had the following children: William (b. @1854/5, Iowa), Charles (b. @1856, Iowa), James (b. @1859), Thomas (b. @1860, Iowa), Fremont (b. @1862), Milton (b. @1864, Iowa), Mary (b. @1867, Iowa; married Frank BUZZELL in Bozeman, Montana), Viola (b. @1869, Iowa) Edward (b. @1871, Iowa) Luella Elizabeth (b. 30 Oct. 1871, New Sharon, Mahaska, Iowa, married Frank John SUPER, and Irwin (b. @1876, Kansas) I don't know where a Benjamin SWANGLE fits in, but the 1860 Poweshiek Co., Iowa lists a Benjamin Swangle, age 24 (born @1836), born Ohio, and Eliza J, 18, born Ohio. As you can see, I have very little information. Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Respectfully, Cynthia M. Wellman twelllman@customcpu.com

While I was so eager to get the location of my web page out to EVERY list to which I belong, I hope I will catch everyone by just sending it to these state lists, instead of the individual counties as well as a select few who might not be any particular state. IT IS http://members.home.net/mrshankindybiz/ OH WELL, I want to thank ALL OF YOU so much for sharing wiwth me! Margaret Shank ( Arvada, CO)

To all of you who have helped me so much since I began trying to finish my late mother's genealogy work, here is the URL for my rough draft web page. I wanted the easiest way possible to share what I have found, even though I am VERY VERY unhappy with the outcome from PAF4. Not only is the web site in theat horrible ascendancy order which I find very confusing, but also, for some reason, it will not create a GEDcom for me which I can share with you all. Also, once there is a misspelling or one version of a name entered, it fights you to enter that name EVERYTIME. Thus, I have Irish Johns with the JOHANNES after their names. Also, the parents of my Randal Vernon DID NOT DIE in Chester, PA, but Chester, England. While I am in OH I will try to get someone who has done a great deal of research on some of my lines and who is a FHC volunteer help me sort out the bugs my inexperience has caused. When I come back, I will get NEW GEN software! If you have a suggestion PLEASE EMAIL ME PRIVATELY, NOT THE LISTS!!! mailto:mrshankindybiz@home.com Thank you all for help in the past. Over the next few days I will be unsubscribing to keep my email mailbox from being overwhelmed during the time I am gone. The private email, though, will reach me! Margaret Shank ( Arvada, CO)

Hi, Margaret- PAF4 should easily create a functional GEDCOM for you. If you are having a problem with producing a GEDCOM using PAF4 you should subscribe to the PAF4 Users mailing list: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Software/PAF-4-USERS.html Ask the helpful folks on this list for guidance in producing the GEDCOM. Once you have a workable GEDCOM, in addition to using it on your Web page, you should consider uploading the GEDCOM to WorldConnect: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/ I think you will be pleased with all the reports and charts that can be created using WorldConnect and an Ahnentafel chart is about to be added to the display options as well! You can link your GEDCOM on WorldConnect to your Web page and vice versa. Joan

In 1750, property map of Exeter township (or rather, I think, Exeter District), Elias Wagner owned a piece of land, and Isaac Levan was one of his next door neighbors. Another neighbor was named Werner. Elias Wagner died around 1754-1755, leaving a "widow Wagner" of 1754 tax list for Exeter who was the only Wagner in Exeter that year, who was made sole administrator of Elias's estate in 1755; her name was Margaret or Margaretha. In 1775, it seems that no Wagner lived in Exeter, even though a big Wagner family lived pretty continuously in Exeter and by the end of teh century had parcels of land all over Exeter and Cumru and possibly Alsace. Further, one of these parcels, maybe more than one, was located roughly where Elias's parcel was in 1750. On 1775 property map, the land that had been owned by Elias Wagner in 1750 was owned by Abraham Levan, who also owned the land that had belonged to Isaac Levan in 1750, and the land that had belonged to the man named Werner in 1750. By 1770, Johannes or John Wagner, who I suspect was a son of Elias, had a farm in Cumru, possibly near where Elias's farm had been - and some genealogy I haven't seen yet links this John / Johannes Wagner with the Werner family. "Descendants of the Wagner and Werner families" or something. I am wondering if one of the Levan men outright married Margaret the widow of Elias Wagner. In any case, since the families lived on adjacent properties, does anyone show a family tie between these two families - seems unlikely one would NOT have existed. There are all kinds of clues that my Wagners did belong to a kinship network that the Levan's also belonged to, along with the Schneiders's and the Keim's. I am looking for genealogical information on these Wagners - so far, none to be found anywhere, unless for John Wagner's DESCENDANTS. I happen to want to know who were the family of JOhn's brother Henry. I think that this Levan family were descended from an Abraham Levan who was among the earlier settlers in the Oley Valley, in the part of Philadelphia County that became Berks County, and that some of them were members of the Moravian Church of Oley in 1741, along with almost every single one of the families that I've established were related to my Wagners but the Wagners themselves. Since it is unlikely my Wagners and people I think were my Wagners never married Levan's, I'd also like to know the first several generations of the Levan family genealogy.

Doris, Where and approximately when did Elijah Loomis marry Emaline Staves. Where and when were their children born (general range of dates and state names is enough)? My guess is their children were probably born in the late 1800's. I live in Connecticut. Loomis is a name that is found earliest settlers in CT. From my research on early Ct families I have learned some about the westward migration of New England families. One of your family lines is "Pennsylvania Dutch", but it may well be that it is not the Loomis line. Maternal lines are half our heritage. For me, my paternal line is Pennsylvania Dutch, my maternal line is pure Swedish (both my grandparents were Swedish immigrants). My father's maternal line was of Germanic origin, but it was not Pennsylvania Dutch, and Irish. I amy be able to give you some ideas about tracing the Loomis family if I you can give me some information. Marilyn CT Sharing creates connections. Connections grow family trees. P.S. I received this message through the Rootsweb PADUTCHgenONLY list. Your message was forward here from another Pennsylvania Dutch Board, the one o which you posted you message. I'm posting my response back to the Rootsweb PADUTCHgenONLY list and you should also receive an e-mail copy of it. The following URL will take you to the homepage for their lists.
