I've been enjoying the exchange of info on the Schuckers line(s) of the Emerickville area. While I don't have a family connection to this line, my paternal 3X great-grandfather, Robert DARRAH, owned what is referred to as "the Schuckers farm" on the county road between Brookville and Emerickville. I spent a wonderful week in Brookville in April 1994; among the many photos I took are several of this land, the barn on the south side of the road and the house on the northeast corner. Is this by chance the same farm referred to in a previous posting to this list as having been owned by Guy Schuckers? From page 431 of the 1888 Kate Scott "History of Jefferson County, PA" - "Joseph Schuckers in 1882 purchased the farm originally cleared by Artemus W. Purdy. It was successively owned by Robert Darrah, John K. Smith, John Emerick, Charles Murphy and E. Schuckers. Mr. Schuckers has since he purchased it added to it sixty acres purchased from Sarah P. Moore in 1886. The improvements are good, and this is one of the best farms in the township." I also have copies of some deeds from Jefferson Co. that relate to the Schuckers and Baum lines. On 30 June 1866, Wilson Robert Darrah (eldest son of the above mentioned Robert) sold 100 acres in Washington Twp. to Peter Baum of Pinecreek Twp. and Len Schuckers of Winslow Twp. There's a connection between the Schuckers and Baums, right? Hope this info helps the Schuckers (and associated family) researchers.

Why don't someone post the Schuckers/Shugars obituaries in the Jefferson County Website. I have a connection also but have to go through my Wonderling or Geist trees to locate the family. Since my computer crashed I have no trees on my computer which makes it difficult to find someone quickly. Maybe someone will recognize a connection and let me know. Then, if I have more information to add I can do so. Darla
