    1. [PAFRANKL] Myers Family in Franklin Co.
    2. Hello: I saw the query on the Franklin Co. rootsweb listserve. I am searching for information about the Meyers family from Franklin Co. (Letterkenny township area) also. I am looking for information about a Lydia Meyers, b. ~ 1817. (I noted your spelling was Myers, but perhaps this is just a variation). Her married name was Elm or Ellem. In the 1860 Franklin Co. census I found the following information: Lydia Ellem (head of household), age 43, Letterkenny township Margaret Ellem, age 17, Letterkenny township Mary Ellem, age 12, Letterkenny township Rebecca Ellem, age 15, Letterkenny township Rebecca Ellem (Elm) is my 2nd great grandmother. She married Enos P. Reifsnyder on Sept. 5, 1867. They moved to Renovo PA after my great grandmother, Flora Rebecca was born in 1868. I have been unable to find anything about the parents of Enos. He was born in Perry Co. in 1842. I have the death certificate for Rebecca, and only her mother is listed (maiden name, Lydia Meyers, not Lydia Ellem). If you look on the Valley of the Shadow website, you will find the 1860 census information. Here is the address: www.jefferson.village.virginia.edu/vshadow2/tour. They are intending to add the 1870 census date sometime in the future. Perhaps this will help you with your brick wall. Please write me if you have information to share about the Meyers family in Franklin Co. I look forward to hearing from you. I looked at the web site and there were lots of Myers, but no Meyers listed. Robin Rathman in Tucson, Arizona
