Julie, I do not have any more on Lucy's parents, but an uncle of my husband has been working on the family for years and I am going to check with him. I do have a photo with Lucy King and one that has Lucy and sister with a question mark on the back. I would like to get copies of the gravestones if possible. Can I send you the money for them? I grew up in Corry and spent a lot of time in the Clymer area, never realizing someday I would wish I had listened to my grandmother's stories.If I get anything more on Lucy's parents I will let you know. Gail

Hi Gail, My great-great-grandmother Eliza King KEECH is the daughter of Robert T. KING of Wayne Township, Erie, PA and has a sister named Lucy King. I have previously posted a transcript of Robert T. King's will which mentions his children's names. Unfortunately I really don't have much on Lucy besides what you already have. Do you have any more information on Robert T. King and/or his wife Annis UNKNOWN. If you would like to see photos of Robert and Annis King's gravestones, you can view them at my Yahoo photo page at this link: http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/juliewzoo/lst?.dir=/Keech+Genealogy&.src=ph&.orde r=&.view=t&.done=http%3a//photos.yahoo.com/ I'd love to compare King notes with you.

Can anyone give me directions to the location of a cemetary called Hatch Hollow? I would be coming probably from Route 8. Ginny

Can anyone tell me if there are any records from the Waterford Cemetery except what the Cemetery Keeper currently has? My Great grandfather's probate states his estate paid $32 for 1/2 lot in Waterford Cemetery. They also paid H L Merritt $8 for burial expenses. However, he is not listed in any of the current records. I suspect he has no stone. How can I locate his Lot # in the cemetery? Thanks, Nola L. Thompson nltt@ktc.com

Hello, Thanks so much for all the replies about my g-grandfather--Daniel Caughlin's disappearance & railroad info!! If I crack this case, it will be because of all of your kind assistance from this website! I'll keep working at it! Thanks again for your willingness to help!! Take care! Sincerely, Stacey :)

I have an instance of this in Erie. My grandmother's brother disappeared and was declared dead (according to family legend). Does anyone know how I can verify this? Jan

Stacey, In some situations and some states, if a person has disappeared and not been heard from, or found, for a period of time--often it is 7 years, they can be declared legally dead. This could be for insurance, spouse wants to remarry, or some such reason. This happened in my family in the mid 1920's. Doris

Stacey, These are a few ideas: There is a wonderful, old, little paper in Albion, PA, The Albion News, that has been in business since the early 1900's. Albion is about 10 miles south of Girard. I know that the Albion Library has copies of all the old ones. The Albion Library has a wealth of information. The lady you need to address your information to is Lucy Fuller, she is the historian and local resident all of her life. It may take her time to research. The Albion Library has records that the Erie County Library doesn't have. Albion Library, East Pearl Street, Albion, PA 16401. <A HREF="http://www.erie.net/~albion">http://www.erie.net/~albion</A> -----Library Address Girard may also have/had a local newspaper. Most of the towns do. Maybe a Girard person on this list would be able to tell you the name if there is one. Also the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad runs through that area to Pittsburgh and Ohio. My grandfather worked on it in the time period you mention. Have you checked Ashtabula County, Ohio. Ohio is only about 10 miles west of Girard. Many people from the area went to Ohio. Good luck in your search. Keep us informed. Mary Silfies Mills

I have a very tough case to crack on the disappearance of my great-grandfather. I need a small miracle here.

Hello to the List members, I have recently posted three cemetery listings to the Erie County Genealogy website at http://www.rootsweb.com/~paerie . New readings done in May 2003 by Pat Walters of the Mount of Olives Cemetery and the St. Boniface Cemetery have been posted, along with a listing put together by Dick Tefft of the Northville aka State Line Cemetery in North East Twp. The theme for the month of June and probably also for July will be Cemeteries, so I invite everyone to dig through their archives and share your cemetery related information. Contributions for posting on the website are always welcome. Bill Klauk Volunteer County Coordinator, Erie Co (PA) Genealogy, USGenWeb/PAGenWeb project

Depending on the naturalization laws in effect at the time, and John's age when his father naturalized, he might not have needed to be naturalized.

I have another mystery and don't know where to look!!! I've been looking for a John Mullen/in that was alive per my grgrandfather's obit of Warren 1905 stating he was survived by two brothers : 1)Thomas and 2 ) John and three sisters: 1) Mrs. Thorne of Detroit 2) Mrs. John Smith of Warren, and 3) Mrs. Kingzett of Cleveland. Well, I've found Thomas, and Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Kingzett......... I cannot find JOHN MULLIN/EN.........It states that John and Thomas lived in Corry, PA (thomas lived in Columbus, PA) Does any one have any ideas where to look for John??? I found Richard(my grgrampa) and brother Thomas's naturalization records in Erie Courthouse but no John??? I found Katharine Kingzett. I believe Fanny Mullin Thorne is her name, just can't find her at all!!! Thanks! Ginny

I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about the William and Nancy Wheeler buried in Francis Cem., Franklin Twp. I've been searching many places for a William who would have been born about when he was. I am interested in learning if they had other children than the one (William) who was killed at Cold Harbor and is buried with William and Nancy. Also, on the Erie County site, I see that Franklin Twp was created ~1840s. From which other township ? LeRoy Wheeler, Maryland
