Is it possible to find an obituary for the early 1900's in Huntingdon Co? Where would be the best place to look? Here are the three I am looking for. These three are siblings - all children of Frederick Shenefelt and his second wife Mary. I am hoping to find the maiden name of their mother: Mary Ann Rupert died 19 May 1914 - Henderson, Huntingdon, Pennsylvania Martha Jane Querry died 25 Jan 1905 Mt. Union, Huntingdon, Pennsylvania David Shenefelt died 7 Aug 1906 - Juanita, Huntingdon, Pennsylvania I would appreciate any help. Linda --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Gayle, I believe your Buffalo Valley is in Union County, whose parent county was Northumberland. There is a story of herds of buffalo surviving out there up until the period of European settlement.

according to Annals of Buffalo Valley Pa 1755-1855 page 255 mentions a George Knox, a tanner, whose daughter was Mrs. William Armstrong I have a William Armstrong (wife unknown) whose children were born Rachel, Thomas and Hannah were born about 1814, 1817, 1818. I am attempting to find more about the above George Knox. There is a George Knox in Allegeny County and Washington County in 1840 Crawford, Union, Washington in 1820 Montgomery, Philadelphia Counties in 1810 Armstrong County in 1800 Are any of the above counties considered in the Buffalo Valley along with Huntingdon County? Thanks! Gayle

from Steve Kemp: as a former volunteer at Hunt. Co. Hist. Soc'y's library I believe I heard the name George Puterbaugh over a period of some months, in the course of research being done for a correspondent. If you haven't already done so, I suggest you contact Ms. Alberta Haught at that library via e-mail or postal mail (address on this gen-web site). There would be a "family folder" with correspondence, etc. on Puterbaugh/ Buterbaugh. Note that Schweikhart (generally spelled Swigart) is also a Brethren family with roots in this same part of central Pennsylvania.

Dear friends, Does anyone know whether it is possible to obtain a list of the members of Trough Creek Baptist church? If you wish, reply to me privately.

Do some searching at my home page. I have Elizabeth Bartlebaugh married Daniel Camerer. Regards, Jesse Davis Our home page: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Cottage/8460/ ***Acts 16:30,31***Ephesians 2:8,9***John 3:16*** ----- Original Message ----- From: "E Schenk" <schenk.bartlebaugh@wanadoo.nl> To: <PAHUNTIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 5:05 AM Subject: [PAHUNTIN] Brumbaugh Bartlebaugh and Puterbaugh I was looking at the link of Riverview Cemetery in Huntingdon Co. hit by vandals and saw the Brumbaugh stones being repaired. I was looking then at my files and found an Elizabeth Bartlebaugh married a Daniel Brumbaugh b.1810 from the line of Jacob Brumbaugh. This Jacob Brumbaugh was on the same tax list in 1786 as George Bartlebaugh. [ From the "History of Franklin County, Pa." Warner, Beers & Co. 1887 a list of Taxables for 1786 listed a Geo. Bartlebaugh in Antrim Township with its present boundaries including the borough of Greencastle. ] One of the reason I joined this Huntingdon list was because in research the name Westover that our Bartlebaugh married in Cambria Co, they came from Huntingdon Co. Then I was talking with a Westover cousin and he said he was also connected to Bartlebaughs by his mother side. The settled in Chambersburg. When his wife sent me a little of his info I was surprised when his line then had the name George Puterbaugh. His mother had told him Bartlebaugh. I did hear from this list once about the name Puterbaugh but at that time didn't connect it to us. [Mike's descendent line starts with Nicholas Adam , Born in Germany , died in Lancaster Co. in 1754. He married Julianna Bernadina Schweickhardt Nov 23, 1719 in Eichtershein, Germany. They had 7 children..... The 7th being Christina born aug 17, 1736,, Lancaster co. Pa. Died Oct 1814 Franklin Co Pa. She married George Puterbaugh in 1756, Frederick Co Md.] George Bartlebaugh paying taxes in Franklin Co in 1786 living near Jacob Brumbaugh may well be the George Puterbaugh. We have 2 people send info from a will that seems to be both George Puterbaugh from one person and the other research had the name Bartlebaugh also with Puterbaugh and Buterbaugh in her letter. . If anyone has info on Puterbaugh we would appreciate trying to find a connection to this George Bartlebaugh. We don't know if there was an error in spelling when they wrote the history but we find other Bartlebaughs living here by 1808 and one we think one was our John Bartlebaugh line that moved to Indiana Co. by 1815 or so. There was a family of George Purtlebaughs that also used Bartlebaugh and we have been able to trace that family line and can see which used the Purtlebaugh spelling and which used the Bartlebaugh spelling. They seemed to start out from this same area but moved to Virginia. Our Indiana Co. Bartlebaughs knew of them and called them family also. Our John can not be found in this Purtlebaugh family tho and the Butterbaugh's in Indiana and Clearfield county-- they tell us-- would shoot you if you called them a Bartlebaugh. You can draw a circle where we find the these names in Pa. in the late 1700s and early 1800s. They are found in Bedford, Blair, Franklin, Huntingdon and the area below Pa that is now West Virginia. These name are not found any other place until later after 1810 and these name are not great in numbers anywhere. Most seem to belong to the Brethren church at this time. I hope someone has a clue in their research that will help us straighten out these families.

Thank You very much.

Dear List, I recently became aware of this wonderful source. The "Official Records" - known as the OR-Army or OR-Navy - are the published messages, notes & reports written by the officers during the Civil War. They were published between 1889-1922 by the U.S. War Department -- 128 volumes of Army records and 30 volumes of Navy. The entire collection is available online, fully searchable, at < www.ehistory.com/uscw/library/or> (Army) or < cdl.library.cornell.edu/moa/browse.mongraphs/ofre.html> The OR contain amazing descriptions of the locations where the soldiers camped & fought -- often with information abut the civilians. It is a great resource. Below are some of the passages obtained when I searched "Mount Union." Kathryn Doyle Piedmont, CA "The brigade, under my command, left Harrisburg by the Pennsylvania Central Railroad at 2 p. m., and arrived at Mount Union, distant 86 miles from harrisburg, at 7 p. m., where I reported to Colonel Hawley, and encamped for the night . Saturday, June 27. - I ordered five companies of the Sixty-fifth Regiment, under command of Lieutenant Colonel William F. Berens, commanding the regiment, about 5 miles distant, to Bell's Mills, near the Juniata River, there to establish his headquarters and picket the country in that region, and to protect the fords of the river . The remaining two companies of that regiment, Company A, Captain Seeber, and Company B, Captain Louis Krettner, I sent to guard a bridge across the Blue Juniate, about 2 miles distant; also the Pennsylvania canal and locks to the village of Mapletown, about 4 miles distant . There companies of the Seventy-fourth Regiment were, immediately on our arrival at Mount Union, sent out on picket at different points, distant from 2 to 4 miles, the remaining six companies held as a reserve at Mount Union . This number out during our stay, then relieved every two days until July 5. Mount Union is 86 miles from Harrisburg, on the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, which crosses the Blue Juniata River by a bridge costing over $1, 000, 000. The aqueduct of the Pennsylvania Canal also crosses this river at the same point . These structures were threatened by the enemy, and their destruction would have cut off all communication between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg ; hence this place was held to be very important, and the utmost vigilance enjoined to guard it, and at the same time avoid surprise from the enemy, on the alert, and all about us . Mount Union was occupied by the twenty-ninth Pennsylvania Militia, Colonel J. W. Hawley, who was in command of the post, and one company of cavalry, under the command of Captain [B. Mortimer] Morrow . Immediately on our arrival, five companies of the Twenty-ninth Pennsylvania were ordered to Orbisonia, Pa., about 30 miles distant . Colonel Hawley had two brass 12-pounders, sent to him by Major-General Couch, one of which was manned by picked men from my command, and placed in command of Private Edward M. Allen, an experienced artillerist and member of Company C. We were joined at Mount Union by our worthy chaplain, Rev. G. W. Heacock, D. D., and about 60 men sent to us by Adjutant [James M.] Johnson and Lieutenant Elisha T. Smith . It would be difficult to enumerate all the duties my regiment performed while at Mount Union ; officers and men were constantly on duty . No regiment could have done more or better under the circumstances . A generous spirit of rivalry pervaded the regiment as to who should be most active in the performance of duty . " "Our route was by the brigade guarded by Company A, Sixty-fifth Regiment, and Major Wings was sent in advance, with orders to detach 25 men, under command of Lieutenant Henry Rudolpf from that company, to join us ; also to go on to the village of Mapletown, and call in the pickets of Company B, Sixty-fifth regiment, Captain Louis Krettner, which company joined us at that place . I was joined at Mapletown and vicinity by 20 farmers, who volunteered their services as axmen. There were four roads or passes leading over the mountains, through bear Valley, to this bridge, and I decided to blockade these roads in the narrow passes in the mountains. Major Wing was sent with Captain Krettner's company 1 mile north of Mapleton, with instructions to blockade and defend Mill Creek road. I then moved on about 2 miles farther, and posted Company D, Captain Baker, in Bear Valley Pass; about one-half mile southeast, I posted 25 men of Company A, under command of Lieutenant Nagel; in another pass, one-half mile distant from this point, and half a mile higher up the mountain, were posted 25 men of Company A, under command of Lieutenant William Bean . All of these points were the narrowest in the passes, barely sufficient for 4 horsemen to ride abreast, and easily defended . All the roads were blockaded by felling trees across them ; trees were also cut nearly off at different points 500 yards in advance, and axmen stationed to fell them as soon as the enemy should pass, thus blockading them in. Men were also stationed on the upper side of the roads and on the sides off the mountain between the two points, prepared to meet them . It was impossible for a horseman to ride up or down the mountain on either side of the roads . I held 20 men, under command of Lieutenant Henry Rudolph, of the Sixty-fifth Regiment, at a convenient as a reserve. These dispositions were concluded at 1 a. m. "
