Sue - I have some ancestors related to a John and a Jacob Mark. John had a daughter Lydia M. who was the mother of my grandmother Martha Lydia Fittery, born 1874. John's daughter Lydia M. married a William Fittery. Martha married Allen Daniel Folmer. And was my mother's mother. Any connection? -----Original Message----- From: MR ROBERT M BOWMAN [mailto:QDAA18A@prodigy.com] Sent: Friday, August 06, 1999 8:19 AM To: PALEBANO-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [PALEBANO-L] FORRER Sandy, I found a book Christian Forrer The Clockmaker and his Descendants by Frank Bruen that is about this family. It states the parents of Christian Forrer were Daniel Fuhrer and Anna Engel. Christian was born in Nidau, Switzerland in 1737 and his brothers Johannes, Daniel and sister Christina emmigrated to Pa. and settled in Lancaster. Christian and Elizabeth Kendrick Forrer had four sons all born in Lancaster: Henry b 1761 Daniel b 1763 Christian b 1765 Samuel b 1773 From there I only have the info on Daniel. He married Barbara Smith, the daughter of John Smith of Lebanon Co. Their children: Anna b 1790 m Daniel Brubacher Catharine b 1793 m John Jacob Mark Christina b 1795 m George Shott Henry m Anna Noecher Mary b 1799 m John Bowman Veronica b 1801 m Joseph Bowman The above all married at the Tabor Reformed Church. Hope this helps. Sue ____ ==== PALEBANO Mailing List ==== To contact the owner of the PALEBANO Mailing List, please contact: ltmiller@mail.ptd.net
