I 'think' that I have looked at some of them but just don't remember what I found, although everything I've searched so far has not yielded any clues to her family. If you don't mind copying, I would certainly appreciate the info to have and compare and refer to as I keep digging.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ZdB.2ACI/557.1959.1.1 Message Board Post: Susan, your message was the only one that came up with all my search criteria, so I am writing you. I am trying to locate a Susan Ritchey. I recently obtained a painting done by a Susan Ritchey for Jennie Koontz Walters. I am not certain of the relationship between Susan and Jennie, but the painting is of Jennie's childhood home. I believe they lived in the Martinsburg area. I obtained this painting because it ended up in the hands of Jennie's sister, Lottie. My husband is Lottie's grandson. It is such a sweet painting, I'd like to return it to Susan or her descendants. Otherwise, I am delighted to have it. If you have ideas, or someone else reads this, please help me contact Susan Ritchey. Perhaps this is her maiden name???? Thank you. Jannie Domiano Knisely

I chased a James Hockenberry of Franklin for a long time, so have lots of notes on the family, most of them just 'notes' without being tied together. I found a William Hackenberry in Cromwell Twp in the 1850 census (pg275) William 33 collier all in hh born PA Catherine 33 Matilda 12 Mary E. 12 James W. 9 Adam 1/12 James appears to have been a popular name in this family. Some more possibilities: 1850 Franklin County, Fannett Twp (this is just across the county line from Huntingdon County, Tell Twp) Just on one page I found this which gives two more James in the right age range, one the son of Thomas and the other the son of Henry.
