Hello, We are looking for information on ancstors/siblings of Catherine SHOUP (b.1790-d. 26 Oct 1871 PA). Catherine was the wife of Peter VARNER(Warner/Werner) of Richland Twp. Cambria County, PA. Peter's father (Nicholas) was originally from the vicinity of Adams (then York) Co. PA and Carroll (then Frederick) Co. MD. It is believed that Catherine (or her family) was orginally from the MD/PA border area which currently includes Adams & Franklin Counties in PA and Carroll, Frederick, Washington (possibly Baltimore) Counties in MD. The Varner route to Cambria County was via the "Morrisons Cove" area of Bedford County and the Shoups MAY have migrated via the same route. I do have considerable information on the descendants of Catherine/Peter Varner which I am prepared to share. If you have any information on the SHOUP line I would be glad to hear from you. Thank you for you time. Don Varner (DRVarner@aol.com)
