Posted on: Pennsylvania Dutch Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Dutch?read=4863 Surname: Harshberger, Beckwith ------------------------- Saw the query on names Harshberger (Harshbarger) and Beckwith. Also the reponse about the area of Moon Twp. Centre Co. Would like to correspond with you about my Beckwith and Harsberger connection. My great great grandmother Elizabeth P. Beckwith was the daughter of Squire Clement Beckwith who founded Port Matilda. Elizabeth was to Clement's first marriage. To his second marriage he had a daughter Margaretta who married a Harshberger, she was married 3 times. I have some info on her marriages and letters Margaretta wrote, and a big news paper article on her and about her letters. I also can put you in touch with Tom McKivison, he does not have a computer, who has load of info on the Harshberger and Beckwith lines. I'm interested in knowing if the area of Moon Twp. also had any Snyders. Elizabeth P. Beckwith married Daniel Sansbury Snyder. I have been trying to find his parents and siblings. They had a son, Ithiel Snyder, and he enlisted in the Civil War in Moon Twp., Centre Co. after the family moved to Jefferson Co. and then settled in Clarion Co., Pa. Ithiel did move with them, but wonder why he was in Moon Twp. when he enlisted in the Civil War. Darla Kelly
