Christopher and Eliza Johnson, Children: William, George, Isabelle, John, Robert, James,Thomas. All worked/owned coal mines and George was buried in Elizabethtown. Family lived in Mercer, Lawrence counties in PA and in Trumbull, Portage in Ohio. They were definitely in Mercer in 1865 but in Lawrence in late 1850s.

WILLIAM C. CLARK Born 8 January 1811 in Mercer County (unknown township) to ___ CLARK and ___ HOSACK. I believe his father may have been SAMUEL CLARK and his mother may have been MARGARET HOSACK, however I cannot find any written proof that these are his parents. Also searching for names of his siblings. WILLIAM CLARK joined the First M.E. Church in Mercer County, in approximately 1826; moved to New Castle in approximately 1833, married first Harriet Andrews in 1838, and after her death married Selena Warren in 1856. He died 16 March 1893 in Union Township and is buried in Greenwood Cemetery in New Castle. Anyone with information on these Clarks, or any of their decedents, please respond. Thanks Arlene

Joan, Wish I knew more about my Nickel line..... However, I have only been able to get back to my Great Grandmother, Ella Nickels (Nichols) .... she was Native American and her roots are deeper than I have been able to dig. Not 100%, but she was definitely Native American. Even though, on one side of her family were very well-to-do people. They owned a Plantation in Virginia and family history states that when the carpetbaggers came through on their way South (to steal land down South), one told her he'd be back to get her Plantation. I'm guessing words flew, but he left. When he returned to "steal" her Plantation, she shot him dead. Like so many other Plantations, it burned and the Elders of the family found info. on it in Winchester, Va...... We have yet to find the info. that they found. Elders are all gone now and we don't know any more than we did 8 years ago. Another history lesson from the "now" Elders was that the young children used to play in the attic of the Plantation ...dressing up in the ball gowns and playing with the Confederate money. Ohhhh....to have just one of those bills now...... Ella was found working in Front Royal for a wealthy family. She had two daughters, Mary Belle b. 1880 Sperryville and Josephine b. 1882. She later married John Frye (Frey) and had 5 boys....John Sr., William "Bud", Elmer, Charles and Edward. But which Nickels family she came from is a real mystery in our family. Sorry I don't have much else to go on. We started too late to catch all the info. from the Elders that could have told us so much. Later Karen

Searching for Francis Magarvey, born October 1752 in Ireland. He immigrated in 1773 to first Cumberland County for about 4 years, then Washington County for 12-14 years and finally settling in Mercer County by 1800. It is thought that he died in Lackawannock Twp in 1834 but I have no death date or burial information. His wife's name was Rebecca and they had six children. Of these children, I know of one named Francis McGarvey who married an Isabelle Gillaspie (or some variation of that spelling) in October of 1830. Francis II and Isabelle were both born in 1800, Francis in Mercer Co. and Isabelle in Ireland. They raised a family of 8 children and lived in Delaware Twp, Mercer County up until abt. 1850. Can anyone help me to learn more about this family? Please contact me at [email protected] Vicki
