This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Weight/Waite, Vanormen, Buckwalter Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZdB.2ACI/3127 Message Board Post: Can anyone give me a history on the lot along Rt. 26 just entering McConnellstown, after you pass New Enterprise stone quarry, that has the pond in the yard. I am mostly interested in the years from about 1860 to about 1900. I know that seems to be alot to ask, but I thought there might be a McConnellstown historian out there that just might know. Also about the placque that is located in the parking lot up along the street by the house of the same lot. Thank you for your help.

Steve, I've done a lot of work with church records east of here in PA, DE and MD, and I was always told that if a church actually closed its doors than any church records had to be turned in. The Methodists are the hardest to find. Drew Universary and Seminary in NJ has many of their records, and I was told that St George in Philadelphia had some. In Baltimore you will find a regular archives for them. But I haven't looked in Huntingdon or Bedford Co. The Lutheran records from here I'm told are at Gettysburg Seminary. Presbyterian Records are in their Archives in Philadelphia. I have found the Brethren Church centers very helpful. Lots of Mennonite records in Lancaster, as also the old Evangelical and Reformed. I think the Reformed are also there. Episcipalian I believe have just arrangedto keep theirs at the Presbyterian Archives in Philly. I'm no expert on this, but am reporting what I have rad or been told.

This David Hare stayed in Huntingdon county, Pennsylvania, but most of the family went to Mercer county, Illinois or to Peotone, Kansas. But after 1850 or so.

Does anyone know whether there is a Callowhill Street in Huntingdon? I'm repeating part of Phillip Hare's email below since the part of subject referring to Callowhill was inadvertently cut off the first time. Phillip Hares' e-mail: I have recently heard that, in Huntingdon, there are places called Hares Valley and Hares Valley Road and that there is also a Callowhill Street. My Hare [later Hares] family came from Shipham and Rowberrow in Somerset, two parishes in the Mendip Hills where mining has been carried out since Roman times and only ended with collapse of calamine mining in about 1860. There were many Hares families in these two parishes and others in the Mendip Hills. One of the physical features of the area is a 700 ft high area known as Callow Hill and Callow Rocks which lie on the edges of several of these parishes.

Thanks for sharing this article!. Every clue is welcome. Do you have any information that would connect this David Hare to the family of Jacob Hare? Most of them had gone to Ross Co., OH before 1805. I'm going to resubmit the street name part of the question because my / caused the first part of subject to be cut off in places. > > This is from a bio regarding David Hare, born 1814 in Huntingdon > county, Pennsylvania which suggests German descent. > > From the Biographical Encylopedia of Huntingdon, Mifflin, Juniata and > Perry counties. > From the bio of his daughter Nancy’s husband, James McCartney > Mrs. McCartney’s father, David Hare, was born 4 March 1814, his wife > Margaret Kemp, who like her husband was of German descent, was born 28 > November 1815.

Some think that Jacob Hare was from England or Ireland, but most sources do say that his wife was German, whether he was or not. Ephraim is another version given for her name. I also wondered (pure speculation, but it is a known Germanic surname) about Ebaugh, Ibaugh. Where did your David Efaw/Efaugh live (after PA) ? Did he also go to Ross Co. OH? Appreciate your writing. This could be a clue for us, too. Lanny in Kansas ______________________________

from Steve Kemp. There is an archives of the Central Pa. Conference of the Methodist Church at Lycoming College in Williamsport, Pa., not to discourage you from going there, but it may be too much to hope for that any records helpful to genealogists were preserved by Methodists in small towns until fairly recent times... most church records were victims of housecleaning and never archived

I have Burns in the same time period which are impossible to find. But mine are in Berks Co. However, a friend I pickedup years ago in my search had Burns closer to Huntingdon and she found out that they were "Born" and German. Since mine were Scots, we haven't continued our correspondence, but I still have her current address if you'll send me yours I'll mail it to you.

The church is closed and the normal procedure would be to send all their records to the central office. It was Methodist and I'm not sure where the central office would be. I could check if you don't find out elsewhere. The last time I visited the cemetery it was being taken care of so there is someone in charge. Years ago I corresponded with someone, and, again, I can look up the address if you don't get it from someone else on the list. I have never seen or heard of a complete list being available. p.s. my frequent "someone" is too much like that poem about "no one." Sorry. I am not trying to put you off, but believing you may find someone with more recent information than I have.

I am looking for death information or a will for John Nelson b. abt. 1772 Valley Forge, PA and said to have died 8 Feb 1842 in Huntingdon Co., PA. He had a son Josiah, b. 26 Jun 1816 in Huntingdon, PA. John's wife was Catherine Hammer, dau of John Heinrich Hammer and Julianna Dubbs. I would like also to find any record of this family including Josiah's birth, and that of his other siblings. Perhaps someone could tell me where to look for the above information.

Right you are Steve. I may have to resort to this. I was hoping someone might be interested in looking it up since there are so many of us working on this line. It takes 3-4 weeks to get a film here at our FHC, but I may have to go that route. thanks, Kathy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "kemp" <ayeh@pennswoods.net> To: <PAHUNTIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2003 8:12 PM Subject: Re: [PAHUNTIN] Joshua Brown & Charlotte Morris > (from Steve Kemp) A lot of historical libraries have the 1798 "window" tax > on microfilm.

This is from a bio regarding David Hare, born 1814 in Huntingdon county, Pennsylvania which suggests German descent. From the Biographical Encylopedia of Huntingdon, Mifflin, Juniata and Perry counties. From the bio of his daughter Nancy’s husband, James McCartney Mrs. McCartney’s father, David Hare, was born 4 March 1814, his wife Margaret Kemp, who like her husband was of German descent, was born 28 November 1815. Both were natives of Huntingdon county. They were married by Reverend T.E. Thomas, 8 September 1836. They resided at Mount Gretna until 1854. Mr. Hare was a miller, but from the year 1846 until his death was engaged in farming. From 1854 until 1861, the family resided in Henderson township, and from that date until Mr. Hare’s death, 20 October 1882, they were residents of Porter township. Mr. Hare served two terms, (1873-79) on the school board of that township, also one term as county commissioner. Mrs. Hare died 25 April 1887. their children are: Nancy E. born 7 June 1837; Mary K. born 14 October 1839; William H. born 9 October 1842; Lydia A. born 6 April 1845; John K. born 22 February 1848, deceased; David H. born 22 November 1849; Joseph K. born 12 December 1852 and Calvin A. born 19 February 1854.

(from Steve Kemp) A lot of historical libraries have the 1798 "window" tax on microfilm. I've never seen the films myself... surely someone on the list has... and unless there's some other reason for going to GSP for a lookup, probably you can get the same thing via interlibrary loan or one of the LDS centers... and see it for yourself

A big "thank you" to all the kind people who have helped me on this list the past few days. I am starting work on my BURNS family. My ancestor Mary E. Burns married Frederick Shenefelt about 1819. I believe her father may be the same A. Burns that witnessed Frederick's father's estate administration (Woodbury Twp.) in 1833. I suspect his name is Abraham Burns - but I haven't been able to find much on him. The 1810 census gives him as 'A.Burns" also. I would be grateful for any help on this line.

Ken, Appreciate the email below. Yes, you had contacted me about a Patrick KILKELLY, but am certain that my 2nd Gr-grf name was Patrick KELLY, as per his naturalization and Decl. of Int. papers, from Centre Co., PA, 1844 and 1845. You have done your homework on your ancestor, with all the C.W. detail and data. Apparently the Patrick K. in the 34th Reg., Co. G, is NOT the one I am searching for, as his wife's name was Mary Ann DOLAN. Thanks for the post. Marybeth ======= << Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2003 10:06:22 -0400 From: "Ken Jones" <kjones1@ix.netcom.com> To: PAHUNTIN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PAHUNTIN] Patrick KELLY, Civil War Hi Marybeth, On page 121 of "History of Huntingdon and Blair Counties" by J. Simpson Africa, Patrick Kelly is listed as a sergeant. We have corresponded before about Patrick and I believe that this Patrick is my gggrandfather. The reason for this belief is because my family has copies of more than 80 letters written by Patrick to his wife, Ann. Nightwine Kelly. These letters, written during the civil War, follow the chronology of the 34th Regiment exactly. The letters refer to letters that he received from Ann in Huntingdon, in just a few days. I think that the turnaround was faster than it is today! I also have Patrick's service records from the National Archives. He was mostly in charge of "foraging", according to the documents. Of interest might be that Patrick shortened his name from "Kilkelly" about this time. It is thought (somewhat jokingly, but perhaps truly) that the prefix "Kil" was potentially a bad omen in combat!
