I have additional information concerning the Edgin Family from Shirley Township in Huntingdon County, PA; I am also searching for information about Miles and Leona Pearl Edgin. George J. Edgin's obituary was posted a couple weeks ago, as mentioned, his Father was Jacob Edgin. Jacob Edgin was widowed before his marriage to Leah Fields Edgin. Jacob and Leah Fields Edgin are buried at the Mount Union IOOF cemetery. Jacob Edgin's first wife was Isabella Barbara Miller Edgin. (I find records where the first and middle names are interchanged) The record of their marriage license is at the Huntington Co. Court House and in the Miller Family Bible. They had two children, Miles and Leona Pearl Edgin. Miles was mentioned in George's obituary as a brother, he was actually a half brother. Leona is not mentioned in the obituary at all. Jacob's parent's were Joshua and Phoebe Edgin. They are buried at Mount Nebo. Joshua was a Civil War veteran. There is a GAR marker at the tombstone. There is information about his service on the 1890 Surviving Civil War Soldiers census. Isabella Barbara Miller Edgin is buried at the Bethel Cemetery on Germany Valley Road, Shirley Township by her parents, Joseph and Mary Rohrer Miller. If anyone is researching the Miller connection with the Edgin family, I have Family Bible Records from the Miller's, a photo of Jacob and Isabella Edgin and other information I would be glad to share. As stated, I am searching for information about Miles and Leona P. Edgin. I am also searching for the names of Joseph Miller's (their Grandfather) parents. Joseph Miller was born in 1805 in Virginia. Does anyone have any additional information? Thanks, Teresa

Hi Keith, I think Deb's intention was to put the file in row order so that we could see the connections between folks. Since she did the cemetery all on one visit in an orderly fashion, and made the transcription on the spot, plus took photos of the graves, it's likely the order will be pretty good! But I do like an alphabetical list, too - easier than using your browser's find feature, isn't it? Photos will be going online, too. . . . when I get them. *smile* Judy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Fisher" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, June 18, 2006 11:24 AM Subject: [PAHUNTIN] Re Newburg Cemetery At 12:04 AM 6/18/2006, Judy Banja wrote: >. . . is online. > >http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/huntingdon/cemeteries/newburg.txt This is fantastic.

This article actually is a BIG help!!! Family lore has said that there were twins involved with either Harriet herself, or twins of Harriett and Solomon (or both maybe??)!!! My sister thought that they had twins born in the late 1880's/early 1890's and one was named Mark. But we had also heard that Harriet herself might have been a twin!!! Now, this article you sent me gives me more names and locations to search! In addition, depending on the date of the article, this would HAVE to be referring to my Solomon and Harriet because he was the only Solomon ZEIGLER/ZIEGLER/ZIGLER in Newport in his time!! Thank you SO much!!!!!!! Also, the Solomon ZEIGLER you found in the 1910 census does seem to be my Solomon. He and Harriet divorced about 1903-05 and he remarried either a Cora or an Elizabeth in Harrisburg, Dauphin Co, PA.

I mistyped her name: Harriet M. I thought it was Harriet J. You may find her as, for instance "Mary H. ...." What ever the "M" stood for, her name appears as that. I have found variations of ages from census to census for the same person, and a difference in their relationship to the head of household. I read that census takers were permitted to ask a neighbor information about a family if they were not home on certain census. In the one case I found a step daughter was listed as a Grandchild, as was a young male in the household. I still haven't been able to confirm if in fact this young man was a grand son. I have found just because it is written on the census, death cert. or obituary doesn't mean it is absolutely correct. I try to find 3 sources that state the same information. Sometimes I study the hand writing of the census taker on the whole page to try to decipher how the person formed certain letters. I have missed entries by misreading an entry. Sorry about the wrong initial. Teresa Shade Anderson

Hi: I took a look at the censuses (1860 &1870) with various spellings of something close to McGarvey/Harriet and including "Etta" anywhere in PA, "Henrietta," too. Did find her future husband with no problem: 1870, Perry Co, Oliver Twp, p. 164, 18 years, farm laborer living w/Amos C. Clemson family. Did find severl McGarvey unmarried woman: Lucinda McGarvey, 17, with John Clarke fam in Shirleysburg, Huntingdon Co.as "domestic." Malinda McGarvey, 17, with Christian Myers fam. in Shirley Twp,Huntingdo, as "domestic." Catharine McGarvey, 19, with David Dunlap (sp ?) Shirley Twp, Huntingdon. Could they be sisters or one of them later be called Harriet??? I used Heritage Quest censuses. Hope this is a help. Marge ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn K.

I did get the e-mail you sent with the PDF, so don't worry about trying to cut and paste. There is also and Isenberg connection to the Rough's (which I had forgotten about). Sellers Raugh (Solomon's son) married Susan Isenberg, daughter of Joseph Isenberg. The Sellers name followed through Solomon's children, which finally made sense when I realized his wife's mother's maiden name was Sellers. I haven't come across anything else like that though that may be a hint about the family. FYI did you ever see the article about David A. Raugh in the Portrait Cyclopedia of Blair County (if you haven't it's online on the Cambria County Website). That is where I got some of my info about Henry Rough. Also, I have seen the Aurandt book. They also have it at the State Library, and I grew up right near Harrisburg.
