Howard rjhoward@mainlink.net /////////////////////////////////// Hello Joanne, I have a family of CODERs in Juniata Co. probably descended from the same CODER line, but I cannot make a positive connection with your CODER family nor help you with any ancestry for the CODER you have posted. I do have the names of a couple of other CODER researchers which will follow what I have on my CODER family. I have: Thomas W. CODER b. Feb 1867 Patterson (now Mifflin), Juniata Co. m. 17 Jun 1886 Matilda "Tillie" Sulouff (b. Sep 1866 to John Suloff and wife Mary Noel who lived near Walnut, Juniata Co.) Thomas had to have his father's consent to marry at age 20. His father appeared before a Justice Of The Peace and signed his consent on the same day his son got married. Thomas was a farmer in Beale Twp., Juniata Co. I have a great deal of information on Tillie Sulouff, her family, and her ancestors' families. Matilda signed her marriage application as "Tillie Sulouff." The couple was married by Rev. E. E. Berry, pastor of Messiah Lutheran in Mifflintown. The children she bore were David S. CODER b. Oct 1886; Ruth G. CODER b. 16 Jun 1893; Lulu E. CODER b. Jun 1899; Daniel S. CODER b. 9 May 1903. All children were born while the family lived in Patterson Boro, which later became the town of Mifflin, across the Juniata River from Mifflintown. I have an E-mail message dated 1 March 1998 from Diana Hearl at <dhearl@compuserve.com> who advised that a book on CODERS entitled "SOME CODER FAMILIES IN JUNIATA COUNTY, PA 1751-1985" was written by a Mr. Richard Glenn Huffman. She indicated she had information on a brother of my Thomas CODER named James CODER. She also mailed me the table of contents for the book, which on page 8 lists for a "Jacob CODER b. 11/14/1781 of South Huntingdon Twp. Westmoreland Co. Pa" a biography, and among other children of Jacob a daughter "Susanna Coder b. 12/9/1811 and Joseph B. Hepler of South Hunt. Twp. Westmd. Co. Pa.," beginning on page 116 of the book. The table of contents also gives names and addresses for about 25 CODER descendants who were active in helping to compile the book produced by Mr. Huffman. I hope Diana's E-mail address is still good should you want to contact her. I would like to work with you on trying to close the gap between the family of your Susannah CODER and my Thomas CODER. I have postal addresses and telephone numbers for six current telephone subscribers in the area around Mifflintown, Juniata Co. and one in McVeytown, Mifflin Co. PA, but have not turned up E-mail for any of them. I have not yet tried to contact these people, because I would rather do it in person, but I am retired in AZ and they are in PA. I am hoping to manage a trip to PA this next Spring, and perhaps I can make some CODER contacts then in person. NOTE TO DIANA: Have you sorted out some good CODER family lines from your book on the CODERs by this time? Best regards to you both, Nelson R. Sulouff
