Thanks, Gary Shedron How much have you researched this surname? I have ancestors of variants of this surname from York County. I can trace them back to: Name: Johan Heinrich SCHEDDERON Death: BEF. 18 JAN 1772 Marriage 1 Anna Maria HERBACH Among their children is my ancestor: Maria Catharina SHEDERON b: ABT. 1730 in Otterberg, Germany. She married Johann Peter GUTLIN/GUDLING (GOODLING). Other researchers have traced the SCHEDDERON line even further back to Sedan. France. They were Huguenots who fled France and settled in Germany long before they emigrated from Germany to Pennsylvania. I believe the original spelling of the name is SHETRONE. Joan

I have the Harry Foreman books, but only a partial index. I can do some lookups.... not real fast, but I won't be available this weekend. Email me if you are interested. Gary

Nance: I doubt you would find them there. There are seven volumes written by Harry Foreman a school teacher and I indexed all seven volumes.... I could do some lookups for you if you are in no hurry....am swamped....send me the names you are looking for and I will see what I can do...

Rev Coursey pastored United Brethern in Franklin County, I think in the Antrim, 1858-1860. Coursey purchased the land/house from William Davis in 1858.

Thank you Jim....when you have time is fine...not like my ancestors are going anywhere soon..(that is a joke.) From information I got from other family members the Seavolts are as such: (Seavolt might be spelled: Sewalt, Seybold, Sevalt, or some thing similar.) Cyrus Seavolt who might also be Jacob Seavolt came to PA after 1780 His children: Henry born Holland(?) Martin b 1776-1794 Holland married Martha Swend/Swank Mathias b 1781-1785 Holland but might be PA d 6/26/1853 Little Cove Jacob b 2/22/1793 Holland or PA d 11/6/1876 MD married Lydia Catherine Miller Mary Seavolt b 1796-1797 PA d aft 1860 probably Franklin Co PA married James Edminston Sarah A Seavolt b 9/23/1803 MD d 1/20/1887 Fulton Co, PA married John Souders Martin's possible children: Samuel Seavolt b 1839 John b 1849 Mathias known children: John Seavolt b 11/20/1810 Little Cove d 1/7/1888 OH married 1) Sarah and 2) Ann Zimmermann Jacob Seavolt b 8/5/1812 Little Cove d 4/20/1872 OH married Lydia Elizabeth Swan (he had 2 sons born in Little Cove, William 5/17/1835 and Benjamin Franklin b 8/22/1836.) Jacob and Catherine's children: George W 11/20/1819 Franklin Co d 9/14/1864 VA (Civil War casualty) Elizabeth 1821 Franklin Co d aft 1880 probably IL married Joshua Eiser/Iser of Bedford Co (They had 5 children born in Franklin Co and one that died there in 1850) Andrew b 10/16/1822 Franklin Co d 7/24/1825 probably Franklin Co Sarah Jane b 1/191825 Washington Co MD d 2/26/1905 Thompson, Fulton Co married 1) Daniel K Hewett (son Jacob Calvin Hewett b Franklin Co) 2) Peter Charles Shives b 1810 Thompson d 1856 Thompson (Andrew Jackson b Fulton Co and Peter P Shives b Fulton Co) 3) Peter Peck 1802 Bedford Co d 1882-1889 Thompson (Margaret Nettie and Samuel C Peck both died in Fulton Co but not sure but think born in Thompson) Ann R b 3/25/1827 Little Cove d 1885-1889 IA married William H McClay possibly of Greencastle (my gggrandparents) David b 2/17/1829 Little Cove d 12/27/1878 OH married in OH Margaret Ellen b 7/31/1831 Franklin Co d aft 1880 IL married Willam McLaughlin of Montgomery, Franklin Co d 1/31/1894 IL all their 7 children were born in Franklin Co Daniel b 1/9/1834 Franklin Co d 10/28/1876 buried Tonoloway Baptist Cemetery, Fulton Co married Sallie/Sarah their children were born in MD (Washington Co maybe) Lydia C 3/28/1836 Franklin Co d aft 1900 probably IL married Daniel P McLaughlin of Montgomery, Franklin Co (Brother of William McLaughlin) (6 of their 10 children were born in Franklin Co) Samuel C 3/3/1838 Franklin Co d 1870-1880 married Sarah Ann Litton (John Litten Seavolt b MD) Jacob and Susannah Houck (not married) Their known and possible children: Mariah Ann Houck 1/1/1845 Sylvan d 10/15/1919 Antrim married John Samuel Zimmerman(8 children born Franklin Co) Ephraim Houck b 6/6/1848 Little Cove d 6/24/1910 Ayr, Fulton Co married Sophia Virgina Bechtel of Fulton Co(seems all 7 children would have been born in Fulton Co) I am mostly trying to verify the earliest generation and also the family of Lydia Catherine Miller. It has been suggested that she might be a daughter of George Miller Jr. Some of the family were involved with Mt Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church others might have been members of the Brethren church or loosely affiliated with it.

Nance - We had an exchange some time back on Susan Houck and Jacob. What I have on Jacob and Lydia follows. Jacob Sewalt + variations Born 22 Feb 1793 MD Died 5 Nov 1876 Hancock, Washington Co., MD. Note that death occurred at Daniel Seavolts at Sir Johns Run. Buried Hancock, Washington Co., MD Hancock, MD is southwest of Sylvan and Little Cove area of Franklin Co., PA. The southern border of the latter is the PA/MD line. This PA area is a few miles west of Mercersburg, Franklin Co., PA. I do not record a cite for every bit of information. Thus, I have three citations for Jacob. 1) Mercersburg Genealogical Society 2)Mt Zion Lutheran Church, Sylvan = LDS Film Nos. 1433079 and 1434014, There may be others listed in the LDS Catalog. 3)Fulton Co. Historical Society, McConnellsburg, PA Lydia Catherine Miller Born 1802 Died 27 Dec 1830 Married Jacob 27 Apr 1819 No burial information My citations for Lydia are 1) and 2) above. There is a multiple page document on file at McConnellsburg on Sewalt. I thought I had mailed you some or all of this but am not sure now. Don Lake

Hello Willie, I have a book by the title of "History of The Church of the Brethren in Southern District of Pennyslvania." It was first published in 1941 and reprinted in 1966. Do you have any other names than Knepper to look up? There is one Knepper family that I know of that attends the Waynesboro Church of the Brethren. Their daughter, Phyllis Kegerreis, goes to the same Brethren church that I do. I will connect with her. Also, something to consider is that a significant number of Brethren settled in Franklin County, Virginia in the mid 1700's! "The Old German Baptist Brethren" by Charles D. Thompson, Jr was just published in 2006 and has tons of names and history.

Hi Don Hope all is going well for you. I do have all your information. The list was on the subject of cemeteries so I inquired about possible cemetery names for Jacob Seavolt and wife Catherine. Also, some of the folks here have been helpful in supplying info on Jacob Seavolt's nephews and a possible parentage for Catherine. This is information I did not have. My thanks to all who have responded. It has been very helpful. Best Regard, Nance --------------------------------- All-new Yahoo! Mail - Fire up a more powerful email and get things done faster.

I hadn't stumbled across that list yet. My Knepper line goes back to one of the families who emigrated with Alexander Mack, one of the founders of the Brethren church in the US. My ancestors didn't move further than Franklin County, though. :-) I think I found another line on the same ship that brought Mack and his group to the US, so there may be more of a Brethren connection there. I don't have any proof that they were part of Mack's group, but it's probably a safe bet. Thanks again for the link! Peace, Willie

Nance, I am curious about the following that you wrote: I have also wondered if they were part of the Brethren community at one time and switch to the Lutheran church. Some of the Houck's stayed with the Brethren. Some of Jacob's daughter's families migrated to IL with the group of the Brethrens in 1854-1855. I suspect that my Franklin County ancestors were also at one time affiliated with the Brethren church. They also moved to Illinois in the same period in which your ancestors migrated. For quite a while, I belonged to the Brethren mailing list in hopes of confirming that suspicion. I've not yet found a definite link to the church, despite many items pointing that direction, but perhaps you might be interested in this list that I found to be very helpful: _http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Religion/BRETHREN.html_ (http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Religion/BRETHREN.html) Where in IL did your suspected Brethren's settle? My GIPE family (wife's surname was BARNCORD) settled in Bureau County. The year is not known. However, one child was born in Indiana in April 1855 and the next was born in IL about May 1857 (estimated). It isn't known where they settled in IL since they are missing from the 1860 census. The property in Bureau was purchased in 1861. It is possible that they came over with others and are enumerated with them in 1860 under an incorrect spelling. I enjoy sharing these sorts of migration patterns because I think it gives each of us further clues to explore in our family roots. Shelly
