Greetings Mercer County Researchers, I am researching my gggrandfather, Silas Thompson. He resided in Mercer County at least in 1843 when his son Aldophus was born. According to Census records Silas Thompson was born in PA in 1823 (several census records and date on headstone). He was married to Jane Elizabeth Cook, daughter of Munsen Washington Cook and Margaret Harriet Hartle. According to census records Jane was born in New York. Several of her siblings and their families are buried in Warren County, PA. Silas and Jane had 5 children and adopted one other. Their children were: Adolphus Vanransaler b. Mercer Co. 1843 Lewis Young or Zachary b. PA 1845 Munsen Washington b. Indiana Lizzie b. 1851 Indiana (adopted) Birth name Eliza Hoover Margaret b. 1856 Indiana Lottie b. 1865 Indiana The date of birth and place for Adolphus are from his Civil War Pension file. Lewis' birth place is from census records. Unfortunately his pension file does not include a place of birth. I have searched the records at the PA State Library and State Archives to no avail. Does anyone have any connection to this family? Are there other records at the County not in the Archives?

There was a female M. WALLACE in the 1840 Mercer Co Census Mahoning Township on Page 323. She was 90-100.She lived next door to her son Wm. Wallace. She had a female 60-70 living with her. In 1830 she was listed as living with William Wallace and his family. Can anyone tell me anything about this lady. When did she die? I think she was the wife of Hugh Wallace buried at Plain Grove. He died 1820 at the age of 78 (born 1742) Dorothea Wallace Silbert

Looking for ancestors/descendants of George CUBBISON born around 1812 in Mercer Co., PA married to Mary Ann MILNER born June 1827 in Minerva, Columbiana Co., OH. George Cubbison is said to have opened the first store in the Township in 1848. "The first store in the township was commenced in Fairview village by George Cubbison, April 1, 1848, and was furnished immediately upon completion, with fair stock of goods, such as are usually found in a country store. Its owner had continued in business there for about five years, when a merchant from Sheakleyville commenced a similar business in the place, and some two or three months afterwards was bought out by Henry Fulton, who also purchased the stock remaining with Cubbison, and commenced a profitable business there. " p.33 According to Mercer Co., PA Historical Society George Cubbison, Jr. lived in Centre Twp., Butler Co., PA in 1840 (pg.117) and 1850, where his wife was Isabella; and in 1860 in North Liberty Twp., PA, a cobbler.

Dorothea mentioned the surmame Mackey. Dorothea do you have any Mackey born probably around 1840. I have 2 Venango Co women who married Mackeys and I have no first name for them or where they were from. Lucy Jane Grove b. 1844 in Venango Co., Pa. married a Mackey (no more information). Also a Anna Mary Haslett b. 1842 married a Mackey. Again no first name or other information. I don't find these Mackeys in Venango Co., so wondered if they might come from Mercer Co. Helen

Are you sure those are the children of that couple? Sound more like grandchildren, given the dates of birth. John and Margaret named one of their sons, b. ca. 1830, Levi Houston Limber. Evelyn

Evelyn, I don't know of a Trine connection on my Limber side. Don't know too much about them, except the following: William Hueston from Dublin Ireland m. Susannah Woodruff from Antrim Ireland. They had a daughter, Sarah Hueston b. 1780 who married Thomas Limber (from Centre Co.). Thomas was b. 1785 Thomas and Sarah Limber had the following children: Thomas b. 1845 Minard b. 1837 John b. 1831 James b. ? **Sarah b. 1809 --my side-- m. Garrett Freeland Oliver b. 1839 Charles b. 1844 & Richard b. ? Thanks Karen

Jean, Perhaps this is a brother or cousin to my George A. Miller. I have George A. Miller b. 1813 m. wife, Anna ? b. 1811 George came from Northampton Co., Pa. Thanks anyway though..... If I find a connection, I'll sure enough dial you back up..... Karen
