I am a Hennion (various spellings) researcher. I once went on a "wild goose chase" to Norwich, NY, researching a man who turned out to be a Kenyon/Kinion. Do you think Kenyon is Sarah's correct maiden name or could it be a printer's error? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Bio of her son Dr Samuel H Gish. Where he talks about his parents. SAMUEL H. GISH, the oldest dentist in years of practice in Janesville, established business in this city in 1866. He was born in Lancaster County, Pa., April 27, 1819, and is a son of Jacob and Sarah (KENYON) GISH. The ancestry of the family can be traced back to the old GUISE family of Europe, and was founded in America by three brothers of that name, who came to this country prior to the Revolutionary War, and settled in Lancaster County, Pa., one of the three brothers being with Gen. Washington as a scout at Fort Pitt, at the defeat of Gen. Braddock. Our subject is a direct descendent from one of those brothers. His father, Jacob GISH, Sen., was super-cargo of an America ship for six years, visiting, in that capacity, the ports of St. Petersburg, Russia; London, France, South America and the West India Islands. His youngest brother, J. W. GISH, of the firm of GISH, GEIGER & Co., was editor and one of the proprietors of the first newspaper ever published in California - a daily which sold at twenty cents a copy - a weekly and a large sized pictorial month, publicize! d in San Francisco before the big fire there; after that editor and proprietor of the Democrat State Journal until after the death of his friend, Senator BRODERICK. The mother of Dr. GISH was of Welsh origin. The subject of this sketch received his primary education in the schools of Lancaster County, Pa., completing his literary studies at the Stroudsburg Academy of Monroe County, Pa. Deciding upon the medical profession as his life work, he became a student of a Philadelphia Medical College, graduating from that institution in the class of 1851. He at once entered upon the practice of his profession in Elizabethtown, Lancaster Co., Pa., together with that of dentistry, and also carried on a drug business until the time of his removal to the West. On coming to Janesville in 1866, he opened a dental office and also established a boot and shoe store, which he sold out the following year, and has since devoted his time exclusively to the practice of dentistry. He has gained a wide reputation for skill, and has built up a large and lucrative practice. Dr. GISH was married in Monroe County, Pa., in 1849, his union being with Miss Sarah FREDERICK, who was born in Stroudsburg, Pa., 1818, and was a daughter of Peter FREDERICK. They became the parents of five children, three sons and two daughters, namely: Emily, who is now the wife of Jerry HARDING, of Doland, Spink Co., Dak.; Hester, who wedded George BOGGS, and is living in Elizabethtown, Lancaster Co., Pa.; Frank, unmarried, and an engineer in Southern Dakota; Dr. Charles L., who married Miss Laura BUTLER, and is now living in Wellsville, Allegany Co., N.Y., and George W., who is now engaged in business in Chicago. The mother of these children was called to her final rest in 1864, and Dr. GISH was again married in Janesville, in the fall of 1868, his second union being with Miss Jennie McNEIL, who was born in Canada. The Doctor and his wife are consistent members of the Court Street Methodist Episcopal Church, and in politics he is a Republican, stanch in support of the party principles. He is a non-affiliated Odd Fellow, holding a withdrawal card from Fort Penn Lodge No. 134, of Stroudsburg, Pa. Dr. GISH is a prominent and representative citizen of Janesville, and is a man well informed on all the leading questions of the day. He has also made a special study of ancient history and chemistry, and has a thorough knowledge of these two sciences. He is also deeply interested in the researches and discoveries among the old ruins of Southern Europe, the Holy Land and Egypt. By his many friends throughout the county he is held in the highest regard, his honorable, upright life winning him the confidence and love of all with whom business or pleasure have brought him in contact.

It sure does beat housework!!!!! I'd have to agree with you there! Not sure if I shared how I found out that I was a descendant of the REX family or not.... it was totally by surprise. We have Belgian Draft Horses and we used to go to Schaefferstown - to the Alexander Schaeffer homestead - for their Harvest Festival & Plowing Match & Horse Pull. During one of our ventures there, quite a number of years ago, I toured the house and seen that a fellow by the name of Bob Bucher, had a genealogy of Georg REX (aka Reuger or what ever the various spelling) laying on the table along side other interesting historical papers on the area and Schaefferstown. He had mainly copied the multiple pages to show that one of the daughters or granddaughters had married into the Alexander Schaeffer family. I had asked if I could get him to make copies of these papers for me and I would gladly pay for the copying and postage, etc.. He agreed and about a month went by and the papers arrived in the mail. I read over them and put them in my HELLER File because my father's Heller great-aunts married a Rex and I had got the copies to show my dad who was going to take the papers to show one of the descendants of that family. I then put them away for a few years until one day I learned that I was descended from the ORNER (aka ARNER) family. I then pulled the papers back out and started to do a little more research and found that I (myself) traced back to the REXs twice! This was after my father had passed away... I would have loved to been able to share this info with him personally... he would have laughed at the whole ordeal. So THANK YOU again for posting the information to the county lists.... I'm subscribed to quite a few that you post to! ... and NO, I don't mind getting duplicate postings! On the HELLER side, I can't get them out of Adams Co., PA.! A fellow in Biglerville, quite a while ago told my father that he had heard that the HELLERs in Adams Co. are "from" the Hellers of Hellerstown.... I've tried for years to attach my "folks" to those Hellers, but nothing as of yet.
