Am looking for my great great great grandmother Lydia Ostander b. Jefferson County Pa about 1820 died Dec 10, 1845 in Pittsburgh Pa. I found a transcription for a census for Pine Creek Jefferson County on a Jefferson County resource page in the 1820 cesus in Pine Creek. ?Shander? Peter B. Listed above him was Henry Nolf, and below him was Alexander Powers so I thought I might have found the Ostrander family I'd been looking for in Jefferson County. Checked 1820 census records and found him listed as Peter B Ostrander with 2 free white males between 26 - 45, 2 free white females under 10 and 1 free white female between 26 - 45. and 2 for manufacturing. Then found Peter B Ostrander in an unkown township in Jefferson County in the 1830 census with 1 male 5 - 10, 1 male 40 - 50, 1 female 5 -10. Also found PETER B OSTRANDER Company: 13 REG'T (FARRINGTON'S), NEW YORK MILITIA. Rank - Induction: PRIVATE Rank - Discharge: PRIVATE Roll Box: 157 Roll Exct: 602 National Archives and Records Administration. Index to the Compiled Military Service Records for the Volunteer Soldiers Who Served During the War of 1812 M602, 234 rolls. Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration. I don't know if this is the same Peter B Ostrander yet or not, and haven't found anything naming children. So haven't connected this to Lydia yet. What we know about Lydia is: Lydia married was to Samuel Douglas Adams who was born February 23, 1811 Indiana County Pa. 1811 - April 11, 1887 ? Two daughters names not known, died the same day as Lydia of small pox on Dec 10 1845. The three were originally buried in a Methodist burying ground which was moved when Union Station was built in Pittsburgh. Later may have been moved again when the station expanded. Many reburials went to Allegheny Cemetery. We may have found one of the daughters an Amanda Adams in Allegheny Cemetery Pittsburgh Allegheny County Pa. One daughter to survive nursing her mother and sisters was Anne Jane Adams Allshouse Born 11 Nov 1836 Indiana Pa. Married Jan 14, 1856 Finley Allshouse (1837 - 1901) Died April 12, 1923 in Johnson Hotel California Wahington County Pa. Phillipsburg Cemetery (Section B Row #14 Allshouse, Ann Jane 1836 - 1923 next to her husband Finley) Date of Burial was April 15, 1923 Undertaker James E Hines Address Coal Center Pa. There were supposed to be other siblings whose names we do not know as well. Another daughter Catherine E Adams Murray, I found her affidavits where Catherine signed for my great great grandmother Anne Jane Adams Allshouse to get her husband Finleys Civil War pension as his widow. Catherine stated in hers that she was Anne Janes sister. Catherine (Adams) Murray of Dellslow WVA, was married to Arthur Murray. Catherine married Arthur Murray in Fayette County Pa. They later moved to Dellslow WVA. Another researcher sent this census information on Arthur and Catherine. 1870 Census for Monongalia Co Morgan Twp 89-89 Farmer Arthur Murray 30 Wv all Mulatto Catherine 25 PaJames 11 Wv Sarah 8 Wv Martha J 5 Wv Isabel 3 Wv John 1 Wv Their daughter Isabel Murray married Ben Ison Hart.
