    1. [PAMERCER-L] Meet my brick wall: Margaret ORR Luce!

    3. Hi everyone, I'm still hopelessly looking for more information on my 3G Grandma, Margaret ORR. Here's what I do know: Margaret ORR was born 23 May 1852 in PA. She died 16 Apr 1945 in Youngstown, Mahoning Co., OH. She is buried at Oakwood Cemetery in Sharon, Mercer Co., PA. She married Josiah LUCE (son of John LUCE & Amanda BOLE) (1848-1915) and had three daughters: Maude, Vera, and Grace. Maude (1871-1957) married James LANGLEY; Vera (1878-1911) married Evan JONES; and Grace (1882-1966) married Edward LEWIS. The family resided at Fisher Hill in Sharon for many years. Here's what I want to know: I'd love to discover her parents and siblings' names and more facts about her childhood. My grandfather (her great grandson) told me that somehow his grandmother Maude LUCE Langley (Margaret ORR's daughter) was Scotch-Irish and that the family was from Belfast originally. I'm pretty sure the LUCEs are of English origin, so I'm guessing it's the ORR line that is connected to Belfast. I'd definately like to unravel this part of the mystery. Just when I thought I was going to find out who her parents were.... I got her death certificate and excitedly hoped to find the name of her parents. However, whoever filled it out or provided the info must have misunderstood the nature of Father's name and Mother's maiden name----instead, they put Margaret herself and her husband, Josiah (I'm guessing my 3G Aunt Grace gave the info and for some reason thought she was to give her own father & mother's name)---so instead of saying Father: so and so ORR and Mother: so and so? it said: Father: Josiah LUCE and Mother: Margaret ORR. Back to the drawing board! If anyone has any idea on how I can get her figured out, I'd be so appreciative. By any miracle if anyone is connected to this family, I would be ecstatic!
