Platt is a line of the Gawkroger family from Yorkshire - unless I have that reversed. I thought they all went to New England, pretty early.

Posted on: Pennsylvania Dutch Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Dutch?read=5022 Surname: housekeeper, houskeeper ------------------------- We haven't found a connection with the Houskeeper's who spell the name with out the 'e' and the Housekeeper's with the 'e'. We assume they came from the same country so any help where it origionates would be great! Our line is the only one that keeps the 'e' out. Why? we don't know. except for some skeletons that may be the cause. thanks for any info!!

Posted on: Pennsylvania Dutch Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Dutch?read=5020 Surname: Singleton, Platt, Ashton, Roberts, housekeeper ------------------------- I found Elizabeth Housekeeper in the home of Jonah Platt, Beaver co. Pa age 10, 1860 census. She was my g-grandmother. I am trying to find her family. She stated in some military records that she married my g-grandfather under the name Elizabeth Platt. His name was also changed during the civil war and he may have given a fake name at time of capture but he said he married Eliz. under the name Robert Singleton near New Brighton, Pa Nov. 1866. There is a strong German missionary connection, seeing he was born in Tn. yet ended up in Harmony Pa after the Mennonites bought the land the Economites once owned. He and Elizabeth also ended up in Tidioute,Pa in 1872 and the Economites had strong business and economic ties there. It is all very confusing to me but I feel sure it has to do with German missionaries and people of English Title. Thanks Barb

I see alot of responses to my queries - I haven't gotten to them yet, but you can't possibly have answered this one. I have my Johannes Wagner of Cumru died in 1831. The FTM CD of Berks Co and other southeastern PA county wills abstracts is available to me at the state library downtown, but the holiday and my work schedule will keep me from it for several weeks. Those wills abstracts are also published as a book. Could someone please look up for me if any will or probate abstract exists for Johannes/ John Wagner (various spellings of Wagner, Wagener, Waggener, Waggoner, Wagoner, I've even seen Wegner) who died in 1831 - I'm told in Cumru. (He was born in 1751.) I'm interested in what sort of property and money he owned, if he was "somewhat prominent", and in everyone mentioned in his will including executors and witnesses.

Posted on: Pennsylvania Dutch Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Dutch?read=5018 Surname: Hass, Harman, Oates, Kerns, Kearnes ------------------------- My Ancesters passed through Pa Dutch country form Phil Pa where they landed and they moved on to Loudon CO Va and from there to Hampshire Co W VA and points farther west. Any one searching for Harman Oates his dad John Oates married Mary Kerns they settled on Little Timber Ridge on the Virginia West Virginia line. Would be interesteed in the name of the book talking about Hass or HArman

It just occurred to me; it is necessary to see if brother Henry Wagner whose wife was Elizabeth, who probalby lived in Exeter or Alsace and who was having children by 1775, may have served in the Revolutionary War too. And the name of that DAR book I want is Ithink called Roll of HOnor. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Kick off your party with Yahoo!

Looking for information on the family of Elizabeth WINKLE who married John STAUFFER in Lancaster TWP, Lancaster co., PA on 4 Apr 1769. Who were her parents? What was her birthdate? John was born either 1738 or March 1741 ( DAVIS, Stauffer book) in Bierholderhof, Rohrbach GERM. He was a Mennonite minister and bishop. He died in August of 1836 in Washington co., MD. I don't have a death date for Elizabeth or burial locations for either of them. Bishop Stauffer was taxed in Hempfield Two in 1775, Manor from 1779-1783, and Rapho from 1783-1787. C. 1790, he and his family moved to Washington co., MD. Their daughter Anna ( Nancy) Stauffer was a 4ggrandmother. She died in 1813 in Bullskin Twp., Fayette Co., PA and is buried in the Pennsville Baptist Cemetery. Her husband was Jacob Shank b. c. 1770 in donegal Twp., PA as the son of Johannes SCHENK b. 1748 in Donegal or Conestoga. I do not have a date for the marriage of Jacob Shank and Nancy Staufffer which I believe would have taken place in Washington co., MD pre 1795 when the Shank family left for Fayette Co., PA. Do any of you have info in your databases which would identify Elizabeth WINKLES parents, dates of birth and death? What about Nancy Stauffer's date of birth and the date of her marriage to Jacob SHANK? Where? Thank you all in advance for your time in this matter. Margaret Shank ( Arvada, CO)

I could really use a lookup if anyone happens to have quick access to the DAR's Revolutionary War heroes or whatever and lineage books. I bet I have access to them at the state genealogy library downtown, only problem it's open the same hours I'm working for quite possibly the next several weeks. Certainly the next week and a half. I have a Lt. Johannes Wagner, married Susanna Liesz, Lees, etc. of Exeter, Berks Co, in 1777, and lived in Cumru. He probably had a brother, Henry who probably lived in Exeter or Alsace. He served in the Revolutionary War. I need to know his date of birth, and also his date of death if it is there. I am hoping this will help me identify his parents. I'm less in need of his children - since the people I really want to identify are the probably brother Henry Wagner and wife Elizabeth who together with son in law PHilip Burkhart were seemingly related to everyone in the Schneider family tree most especially those branches of it that married Franz Ritter and members of the Keim family.

They had 10 children beginning in 1908: Alice, Stanley, Margaret, Anna, Ruby, Henry, Jacob, Edith, Elsie, and Warren in 1925. CHRIST: Looking for Albert CHRIST died approx. 1902 who was married to Mary ?MICHAELS. Daughter Loretta CHRIST was b. approx 1888...Loretta later married Michael O'HEARN.

Posted on: Pennsylvania Dutch Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Dutch?read=5015 Surname: STEEL ------------------------- I am researching any STEEL'S of Mahoning or Trumbull Co., OH. Looking for William Steel and wife Jennett unknown or their son William, Jr. They might also be in Cuyahoga co. Thanks

My source sent me a snippet of information that definitively identifies Lt. Johannes Wagner of Cumru and wife Susannah as mine. "In the meantime, I wanted to let you know quickly that I have a document you will want to see. ... "A Brief History concerning Lt. John and Susannah Wagner and Michael and Barbara Werner and their Descendants." Susannah's name is given as Lees." Below is the proof that he was of the Wagner family that are my ancestors, and also of close links to the Keim and Schneider families of some kind. Can someone please tell me more about this Lt Johannes Wagner of Cumru and his family? Ny source can't get that document to me for atleast two weeks - and it may contain only info on Lt Johannes' wife and children. I'm probably interested in the man's parents, siblings (and their spouses) and first cousins. One thing - it is pretty obvious from the records that if Lt. Johannes WAgner and wife Susannah Liesz lived in Cumru, then they wouldn't have gone near the Welsh Baptists if their lives depended on it - they were travelling to Alsace, Exeter and Reading to attend church. Don't know exactly how Henry and Elisabeth concealed themselves prior to 1782, though - unless of course, they simply attended Spies Church which kept burning down. I expect to spend the entire holiday weekend (no work tomorrow) working on my Schneider clan (Keim, Hoch, and other allied families) data base. Yours, Dora Smith Philip Burkhart of Alsace m on 7/23/1804 Barbara Wagner of Alsace, at Trinity Lutheran or Schwarzwald Church. They had Lydia Ann Burkhart, who m Gilbert Dehart - my ancestors. Had John B. Dehart m Mary Weiss. Barbara Burkhart's death certificate states that her husband was Philip Burkhart, her parents were Henry and Elizabeth Wagner, and she was born on 3/14/1775, and died on 12/17/1855, of consumption. (like a number of Burkharts around) Philip Burkhart died in 1823 and left his "plantation" or large farm in Alsace, with its forge and mill, mentioned wife Barbara and several of his children. The 1790 census shows Philip Burkhart on his farm in Alsace with a woman about his age and a small girl and three servants. Philip Burkhart acquired his land from Samuel Burkhart, on 8/31/1796. He acquired more land from Samuel Burkhart's estate via the sheriff, on 4/24/1805. On Feb 23, 1795, Samuel Burkhart acquired land fro George Hill in Cumru township. On 2/24/1802 he acquired land from John Bishop of or in Alsace township. (This is interesting, those are two more Schneider clan members.) Other people mentioned in these deeds, Spohn, Witman, Michael Meyer, also sound likely to have been related to the Schneiders - and Witman turns up again in Philip Burkhart's will. Along with Baird, which is also in the Keim-Schneider-Hoch trees somewhere. On Sep 7, 1796, Adam Leiss acquired land from Samuel Burkhart "Asgmt" and also acquired land in Alsace township. Philip Burkhart's will named Benneville Keim an executor, called him a "friend". Benneville Keim was Schneider clan. Many of these people were Hoch clan, too. Most of these records from Schwarzwald's. That doesn't necessarily mean the people attended Schwarzwald as the ministers of that church got around and kept their records with Schwarzwald's. 4/1/1777 John Waggoner m Susannah Lieze of Exeter township, Berks Co. 3/17/1782 Johannes Wagener the son of Johannes b 10/11/1781 sponsor the father.
