Could someone check a listing of graves in St Stephen's (Licking Creek) Lutheran Church Cemetery for: DOUGHMAN / DUCHMAN / DUFFMAN / DUGHMAN TOUCHMAN / TOUGHMAN / TUCHMAN I am specifically looking for Stephen DOUGHMAN died between 1806 and 1810 and wife Barbara who died between 1810 and 1820. Thank you ever so much! Ann Brickner annbrick@turbosurf.net

The name Leininger struck me in this message. I have Creighton relatives from Juniata County, but I am also tracing Lininger's in Huntingdon County. Do you suppose their could be a connection? Lininger is just a rather unusual name.

(Thanks for having this history available online!) ///////////////////////////////////////////// Hello Ann and other Juniata Co. Listers, The Licking Creek Lutheran congregation was located on the upper Licking Creek, six miles north of the confluence of Licking Creek and Tuscarora Creek in Milford Twp., Mifflin Co. (now Juniata Co.). It was built on land donated by the Augheys, and its formal name is St. Stephen's Lutheran. Its old cemetery is well maintained and a pleasure to visit. I regret I do not have the precise date of its beginning. However, to answer your question, I have carefully researched another German Lutheran congregation in Milford Twp. during the years of your interest. Probably as early as 1795 a group of German Lutherans began meeting for "public worship" in a log building erected on the highest hill of the Zechariah Rice farm. This house of worship, erected on what came to be known as Old Church Hill, was located 1-1/2 miles southwest of the confluence of the Licking Creek and Tuscarora Creek. It lay in Milford Twp. until Turbett Twp. was taken off of Milford Twp. in 1815. Many German Lutherans living north of the Tuscarora chose to ford the Tuscarora and worship at the church on the Rice farm, which for them was miles closer than the Licking Creek place of worship. During 1802 the German Lutherans at Old Church Hill took steps to formally organize. On 12 May 1802 they had 1-1/2 acres of land surveyed on the Rice farm surrounding the existing log building they had been using for worship. On 1 January 1803 the formally organized "German Lutheran Congregation of Tuscarora Valley" took title to the acreage they had purchased from Zechariah Rice for the sum of $16. The local history entitled THAT PART OF SUSQUEHANNA AND JUNIATA VALLEYS ETC., p. 804 , footnotes that "The Rices, the two Kepners, Groninger, Weishaupt, Weimer, Suloff, Saylor and other families were the active members in the erection and sustaining the church on the hill." Burials for members in the graveyard surrounding the church commenced in 1803. This church's cemetery was restored for the nation's bi-centennial celebration in 1976 and is well maintained today. Worship at Old Church Hill, before the congregation's formal organization in 1802, was generally conducted by laymen, with perhaps an occasional visit from a circuit-riding minister. The congregation's first regularly called pastor was Rev. William Scriba, who travelled from Carlisle across the Tuscarora Mountain on horseback to serve them, probably from 1803 to 1809. The next pastor at Old Church Hill was Rev. George Heim (1809-1814), followed by his brother Rev. John Heim (1814-1831). Thereafter, regularly called pastors served this congregation as follows: Charles Weyl beginning in 1831; Simon R. Boyer 1835-1846; Jacob Martin 1846-1848; L. G. Williams 1848-1853; and Peter Lane 1853-1856. Under Pastor Lane's leadership a new church was built in Port Royal, and in 1856 the log building at Old Church Hill was sold and torn down. By that date my ancestral families of three generations had worshipped at Old Church Hill. Details are included in my 480-page book entitled THE SULOUFF AND SULOFF FAMILY, published in January 2000. A copy has been donated to the Juniata Co. Historical Association Library in Mifflintown. I will be happy to contribute to further discussion of this question on the ListServ, or to respond to personal questions privately. Sincerely, Rev. Nelson R. Sulouff

Does anyone have records of the baptisms at Leininger's Church in Oriental. My grandmother, Sarah Smeltz, may have been baptized there in the late 1800's. Terry Troutman

Fred Ok we ck'd the book and its mighty pages long. Sorry to report, no Stonebraker by that info in there. Good luck on your research Elaine Michigan

I would like to welcome those of you new to this site and tell you there are some really great folks who are willing to help just for the asking. I, myself do Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville Georgia. Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. My sources are the following....... There are 2 online databases to do lookups.....One by name...one by Company and Regiment. I also have a copy of the Dorence Atwater Death list which has the names and grave numbers of some 13000 graves with only 460 marked as " UNKNOWN " This along with a CD I have which contains 34,000 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because of misspellings of the names or alternate names. I visit the prison site every couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as the physical files. I would like to let you know of another service I offer which is to take photos of graves for a small fee. Please see my website which is dedicated to those who passed through the gates of Andersonville. Kevin Please visit my website at http://www.angelfire.com/ga2/Andersonvilleprison/index.html

Illinois has many marriage certificates on-line (but not all - read the fine print) in a searchable database at: http://www.sos.state.il.us/depts/archives/marriage.html

I am looking for any information on the Showers surname...the line I am tracing has a trait that has consistently been traced through the generations...a drooping eye or as we say one lower then the other...anyone got a Philip Henry who was born around 1820 to 1843 and disappeared?...or moved to VA to stay?...his father was named William or James and mother was Lucy..his father was married a second time...but that is all I know...period...any takers?..

The closest I come is that their granddaughter's (Jane Green McCahan) husband, Ephraim Lauver, was my first cousin, four times removed. My late uncle, Clifford Lauver, married Betty Green, but I do not yet know enough about her ancestry to link her to your family tree. My Lauver ancestors migrated from Juniata County to Blair County after the Mennonite schism that divided the church in Richfield in the 1880s. The same weekend as your reunion, I'll be in Tipton, Blair County, for the annual Gensamer reunion, so Gensamer / Gensimore relatives and friends are invited.

If I may add to the conversation, my mother's stepbrothers in Altoona were Harold (1921-1997) and Robert (1925-1995) Stonebraker. Their mother was Eva Gensamer, who was married to their father, and later to my grandfather, Fred J. Davis. I do not know much about the Stonebraker ancestry, but I would be interested in adding the direct line to my database.

I'm looking for any information on the HENDERSON family from Juniata which was Mifflin Co. between 1758 when they arrived from Ireland and 1799 when they sold out and moved to Fayette Co. and Green Co. PA. JOH Jean Oldham Heuman 978 Vincent Ave. East Venice, FL 34292-1330 (941)488-7177

I've traced my family Kennedy line back to Isaac Kennedy, born in Pennsylvania in 1786, probably in Mifflin County, now Juniata (where he was found in his old age by the census of 1870). His lineage: son Johnson K., 1820; father of Dennis K., 1842; father of John Moody K. (my grandfather), 1871. Does anyone know more links in this chain, especially Isaac's parentage and any siblings or, also, siblings of Johnson Kennedy?
