Ester, Thanks for writing. My Benjamin F. Pauly is definitely buried in Riverside Cemetery Sharpsville. I know where his grave is. I don't think any of the family spelled their name Polley, not in any of the records I have found anyway. Thanks for the offer. KIM

I have Richards ancestors from Mercer County, however they are buried in the State Line Cemetery at Orangeville. I haven't heard of the Richards cemetery. Cindy Booth Maher

P.S. According to the book, at one time a Lutheran and Reformed Church stood here. The cemetery is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Rutledge Rd. and the Mercer "Pike".

Mercer Co. Cem. Inscriptions, BK #10, by DeSantis and Dufford, p. 164, Reichart Cemetery, Pymatuning Twp: James D., son of F.B. and G.H. Pauly, d. May 17, 1869, age 4m 3d Lawrence B. son of F.B. & G.H. Pauly d Jan 24, 1868, age 5m 16d Although referred to as Reichart Cemetery, there are actually many by the name of Rickert buried here. Also other Pauly/Polley families.

Kim, Some PAULY / POLLEY headstones in Richart/Reichart cemetery - didn't photograph Lawrence or James, though. http://www.rootsweb.com/~pamercer/PA/Cemetery/rickert/rickert-or.htm Teri ----- Original Message ----- From: "KIM MACKLIN" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2003 3:45 PM Subject: Re: [PAMERCER] Richards Church > Evelyn: > > Thanks, that makes sence.

HI: I recently had a great find, a family bible for the Pauly Family - my gg paternal grandparents. They had two young children die in 1868 & 1869 Lawrence and James Pauly and it states they were buried at Richards Church. Does this sound familiar to anyone? They lived in Sharpsville and the parents of these children are buried at Riverside Cemetery, Sharpsville. Thanks for the help. KIM

I have been searching for information on my Irish ancestors, the Magarvey/McGarvey's, who lived in Mercer County, Pennsylvania for a number of years. Francis Magarvey immigrated about 1773. The spelling of the name has changed through the generations as Francis was unable to write his own name, so the Magarvey spelling was as others penned it for him. This is what I do know: Francis Magarvey and his family can be found in the 1800 US US Federal Census living in Mercer County, with "1" son under the age of 10, "1" son between the ages of 10-15, "1" son between the ages of 16-25, and himself, over 45 years of age. The census indicated that there were "2" daughters under the age of 10, "1" daughter between the ages of 10-15, and his wife, between the ages of 26-44. The 1800 Pennsylvania Mercer County Census provides the same data, so it appears that our Irish Francis was in fact the father of at least 6 children. Later documents tell me that he lived to at least the age of 83. His wife's name was Rebecca, however, I do no know of her maiden name or date of birth. A document from September 4, 1834, tells me again that he was living in Mercer County as he granted Power of Attorney to his lawyer Mr. Boggs, to receive his final pension payment for his service in the Revolutionary War. One of the witnesses to the doument w! as an Oliver Magarvey. This Francis (I shall call him Francis I) cannot be found in the 1840 census data. This Oliver could be a son. Of his children, I know the name of one son, Francis, and I shall call him Francis II. I have not learned the names of the other children, and I speculate that Oliver could have been another son, as the name was used again in future generations. I'm not certain, but it seems that Francis II may have been born in Mercer County. He did marry an Isabelle Gillaspie (spelling variations again) on October 21, 1830 according to a Family Bible. They had nine children who I believe were all born in Mercer County. The 1840 census lists him at Delaware Township in Mercer County, PA where he is also listed in the 1850 census, age 50, along with the rest of his family, wife Lisbel (Isabelle) - age 50, Issac - age 18, Oliver - age 16, Wesley (John Wesely) - age 14, Hannah J. - 12, Joseph - age 10, Mary - age 8, Rebecca - age 5 and Nancy - age 3. Francis' occupation is listed as that of farmer and son, Issac, as that of laborer. I now know that Francis II and his family moved to ano! ther state although I do not pick them up for a number of years. Census data tells me that John Wesley McGarvey married a Charlotte and their first child (Roderick) was born in Pennyslvania in 1861, although I do not know if that took place in Mercer County. It has taken some time to collect this amount of information and I know I have provided you with a lot of data. My interest at this point is learning about Francis I and Rebecca's other children and their descendants. It appears that the family was not of the Catholic faith but beyond that I do not know where to look next. I do not know where Francis I or Rebecca were buried. Any direction or help that you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Vickie Simon [email protected]

Hi All ~ In researching for my husband's great-grandfather, Samuel C. Patterson in the Mercer/Erie Co. PA area, I sent off & paid for a probate record hoping it would be of some help. It wasn't our Patterson's, but hopefully someone on the list can use this record. I'll be glad to send it to anyone interested. I'm including the Chautauqua Co. NY area because the probate was actually filed in Mayville - how it popped up in Mercer Co. where I was looking, I'm not sure. Samuel A. Patterson was husband of Martha L. Patterson of Sheridan, he had sons John V. and James G. both of Sheridan, and daughter Mary A. Ward of Forestville. He died 12 October 1883 according to the Surrogate's Court Proceedings on Probate of Will dated 13 November 1883. This document is 9 pgs in length. ~gina~ ===== ~gina thomas patterson~ Please visit my home page at www.burningskyenterprises.com, click on "Family Album".

I have Clara Urey's ancestry, if you're interested. She's the one that married Otto Uber. I cannot find a Mary Ann Urey who married Michael Uber, but will keep looking. To my knowledge, there was only one Urey family in Mercer. Karen

Hi Kirstin. I live in San Diego, CA. My husband's main line is Lightner. His grandmother was Samuel and Cynthia (2nd wife) Lightner's daughter, Della. I posted my message on pamercer as I always hope if I make a mistake someone will show me how to correct it. My husband's grandmother Della m. and divorced Peter 'Calvin' McWilliams. I'm glad to share if you want what I have, especially if you feel your Lightner's information is to light. This is all I have on Wayne. Other the the fact that my bro-in-law was named Homer Wayne McWilliams. From Ethel Lightner to Bernice Marie McWilliams Beagles in 2/5/79. , Handwritten pages are #12 - 15 attached to the typed pages. "LIGHTNER - ZIEGLER FAMILIES. Page 13 " page 14, dated 1967.

Lightner family. Jos C. married Ethel Nelson they were parents of six children. Howard has six children; Wayne, Karen, Sue, Patricia, Joyce and David." Phyllis Mock McWilliams

Thanks for answering. His is my John or Jacob confusion. According to Ted McWilliams' notes, Cynthia's father's name was Jacob. Also Ted said Cynthia was a first cousin of President William McKinley. Cynthia lived 84 years. Penciled note say Cynthia's father was Joseph. Typed Notes from Mrs. J. Lightner (Ethel), Grove City, PA dated 2/5/79. Page 8 and 9, "We now return to Samuel Lightner who was the fourth child of Adam [1] and his wife Nancy. Samuel married and came to a farm midway between Slippery Rock in Butler County and North Liberty in Mercer County, a farm known for the many past years as the Benjamin Campbell farm. Here he erected a splendid brick house and reared his little family. His children were as follows: Hezekiah, Sophia, Mary."*** "His wife dying, he sent back to Huntingdon County for his sister, Nancy, to come home and keep house for him. Nancy came and remained in his home until her marriage to John Albin. Later on, Samuel married Cynthia Zeigler, a woman much younger than himself, who became the mother of the following: ___ married Joseph Campbell, and one son Charles; Samuel, John, Della.

Have you read Abner Boak's will on the Mercer site? In 1870, Peter Urey and Ann Boak were in Findley Twp., Mercer. Peter, 57, Ann 60, Thomas Urey, 25, Mary,22, Margaret Armstrong, nee Urey, Lizzie and Clarrida Armstrong. I believe Margaret's husband to have been David Armstrong. In 1850, you have to look under the spelling Wry to find the Urey's. So it's very apparent that my Ann Boak is not the same as yours. There are no known Urey's buried at Amsterdam. The earliest burial I can find is in Blacktown Cemetery in Slippery Rock, Mercer. I believe that the Urey children were baptized at Amsterdam, but with the records gone, I can prove nothing. I do find it quite interesting about Mary Ann Urei, 1st wife of Michael Since the Urey's and the Uber's lived in the same neighborhood, I had found it odd that I had found no marriages before 1901. If you have the book, History of Mercer Co. The Urey and Uber name are interchanged at least 4 times. All I can tell you is that the Ann Boak that married Peter Urey is not the Mary Ann you're looking for. Karen
