Hi List, We are seeking info on ELIAS BOESHORE and family who lived on farm near Fredericksburg, PA in late 19th C. ELIAS was son of MICHAEL M. BOESHORE (b. 1815, Berks Co., PA) and bro to JONATHAN K. BASHORE(b. 1852, Bethel, PA). We would like to have a cross-reference to ELIAS' children's names before we continue 1860,1879 and 1880 Census Record and Land record searches. Thanks for any info and help. E. Suzanne Beshore

Mucho Boeshores around Lebanon, Jonestown, and Fredricksburg, check with Lebanon Historical Society. Lee

It's true, both Dauphin & Leb Cos have a Jackson Twp. Perhaps some more info on your Samuel might be helpful. I know there were Zimmerman's in the Jackson Twp, Dau Co. area at that time. I suspect that there may also have been in Lebanon Co., since it's not an uncommon name in either area. Judy Strickler

My name is Steven D. Smith. My grandfather, JOHN A.SMITH JR. (later changed to Emerson J. Smith), was born in Lebanon Apr 1, 1887, to JOHN A. SMITH SR. and ELLEN L. or MARY ELLEN NACE. JOHN SR. was a lime burner, according to the 1900 census. John and Mary had at least six children JOHN A. JR., WALTER SMITH, MORRIS L. SMITH, ELLEN L. SMITH, IRENE SMITH, and MARY E. SMITH. My grandfather left home when he was in his teens and did not return until shortly before his death on October 23, 1951. My father said that he went back within the six month period before his death and found that his mother was still alive. We made a trip up there last summer, but could find nothing before or after the 1900 census, though we were happy to find it since we did not know my grandfather's real name until then. Any help about the past, any knowledge of living relatives or any help at all would be appreciated. Steven D. Smith Photos by Steven 104 South Main St Salem, IN 47167 812-883-0164 sdscls@wcrtc.net

Great, but there is also a Jackson Twp in Lebanon County - Myerstown area, I believe. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jon Miller <atsf@inow.com> To: <PALEBANO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 03, 1999 9:01 PM Subject: Re: [PALEBANO] county question > Oh goodie, a question I can answer.

Oh goodie, a question I can answer. I have relatives that were born in Jackson Twsp. It is in Dauphin Co. A very narrow pie shaped Twsp. The book Pennsylvania Line is a very good reference for this type of information. Jon Miller

hi gang.... i have came across a Samuel Zimmerman born in Jackson Twsp Dauphin County Pa. he was born in 1831. Would this be Dauphin Co or would this be Lebanon Co. ???

Looking for anything on MARY RIELEY b 1855 in Johnstown, Pa. She had married WILLIAM GARR in 1875. They had lived in Dunbar, Pa. as WILLIAM worked in the coalmines. MARY had a sister ROSIE who had married CREIGHTON. MARY and WILLIAM GARR had moved to MT. Her sister had lived in Red Lodge, MT. The GARR family is our link to this family. I have something's on MARY and WILLIAM while in MT. I also have MARY's obit. Thanks for any help on the family. Betty

Don't remember where I saw the query asking about Hill Church so thought I would answer to both lists. The church north of Annville in Lebanon County is also called Hill Church. This is a very old church and records do exist for it. Bev Wyld

We are searching for info on the family of ELIAS BOESHORE b. 1838 m. YODER. Elias was s/o MICHAEL BOESHORE b. 1815 d. 1889. We have info for Elias' siblings, but, have little for Elias. He is believed to have lived "on farm near Fredericksburg", Lebanon Co., PA. To date we have concentrated on Bethel TWp, Berks Co. and wish to thank everyone for all the help we've received from the people of Berks County. Any info or contacts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. WBeshore

Good. I was contacted by an unsuspected LIVING descendant of my gg grandfather tonight. I have had a good night. Think I will sleep on that note! Sometimes genealogy is so sweet!

Vince: I am still looking for my Ayres data, but I believe that it was Marcus Ayres that came down to Grayson County, TX. from Saline County, Missouri. He was a confederate soldier, was captured in Missouri by the Union, released after agreeing never to join up with the confederate army again. Ayres then rode down to Texas with Quantrill and his raiders; did not join them, but came to Texas to start a new life and get away from the war. Marcus Ayres bought a farm and settled down to farm, but the Union soldiers always thought he was a member of Quantrill's group and burned his house and barn on several occasions. Ayres finally convinced a local judge, Judge Bryant, that he was never a member of Quantrill's group, thus Bryant convinced the Union Army to leave him be. I interviewed his grandson, Charlie Ayres before his death, and he gave me this story. Most often the name is spelled Ayers, so it is possible that Marcus Ayres could be off of your Ayres family. I will keep looking for this data; I have so much data, I lose it even though I think I am organized! Mike Everheart/Tyler, TX. Vincent Edward Summers wrote: > Missouri!

Dear All, I'm looking for more information on the family of: Charlotte MEIGS b. 19 Feb 1884 in Grand Rapids, Kent Co., Michigan to Arthur MEIGS and Charlotte GODWIN According to notes in obituaries of her cousins, she settled in Lebanon Co. PA. According to a family register of the MEIGS family, she married on 25 Apr 1906 Clarence L. WEIMER. By 1955, she was Mrs. Charles O. BRESSLER. Does anyone know more about her or these two husbands or if she had descendants. I believe she was the only one of her four sisters to marry. At least two of those sisters, Gerda and Delia, lived out their lives in Jacksonville, Florida, where their parents had gone to retire. Thanks much for any advice, Jennifer Godwin <jengod@yahoo.com> ===== JENNIFER GODWIN <jengod@yahoo.com> Fax (630) 214-2470 ICQ:24605962 AIM:jengod1 http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~godwin/ http://www.rootsweb.com/~mikent/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
