Hi Joan, I have traced my family back to John Shetron b. abt. 1794 in PA and Catherine Kintline b. abt.1795 in PA - this according to the 1850 census. John was a blacksmith in St. Thomas twp. in Franklin CO. One daughter Anna Marie b. 1825, four sons, Peter b. 1828, William b. abt. 1840 and John and Leonard b. 1836. I found William, John and Leonard in Illinois in 1860 - 1890. Peter died in the Civil War and is buried at Antietam. Anna married James S. Johnson and stayed in Pennsylvania. I have never been able to find the father of John Shetron, so that is my stumbling block. Thanks, Gary Shedron
