Hi Listers, Returning to Northampton list, still researching the family of James Moore, b. 1736, maybe in Ireland. He died in Washington County, PA. His children were Thomas James John Eleanor Margaret I'm descended from Margaret, b. 1767 in Lower Mt. Bethel Township, Northampton County, married there to Andrew Farrar. Andrew was born in 1766 in Flemington, NJ, but there seems to be a strong connection with Northampton County PA in general and with the Moores in particular. Margaret's father, James, moved with them as Andrew and Margaret moved west to Washington County, PA. I have a fairly unbroken history of their descendants from there on. Any cousins out there?

Well, I sure hope it isn't true that John died in infancy. Joyce Van Kirk has the most extensive list of Bartholomew descendents and she gave me this on our 4thgreatgrandfather: [From VanKirk; John Bartholomew born in 1780 in Allen Twp., Pa., died on 11-1-1822 in Petersville, Pa. -married Susan Reimer born on 10-15-1785 in Mt. Bethel Twp., Pa., died on 8-27-1854, daughter of Isaac & Margaret (Klotz) Reimer. ] So Henry and Catherine's son John could not have died in infancy.

Massacre of the Larner Family_ The following facts relating to the massacre of members of the Larner family by Indians is cntrbuted by one of the family; Before and during the Rev. a boat-path led from Stroudsburg to Tannersville along the bands of the Pocono Creek. Some time after the settlement of the Larner family at the latter point, a settler, in following the path, discovered the tracks of Indians about 2 miles away, and on reaching Tannersville at once informed the family of John Larner to enable them to guard against the sudden attack of the red men. The following day George Larner repaired to a field adjoining the house where he was engaged in mowing, when a band of Indians approached, and placing themselves between the victim and the house, fired and wounded him. Securing a fence-rail, he the defended himself with great bravery, but was finnally overpowered and killed while attempting to rearch the house of his John. After scalping him, they started for the house, and securing his wife and child, carried them to the Pocono Mt. The settlers on learing the facts at once started in pursuit, and on reaching the mountain, to their horror discovered the body of the child, who had been scalped, lying not far from the mother, whom they butchered in the most inhuma fashion, portions of her body being suspened from the nearest tree. John Larner the father, on hearing the firing, approached to learn its cause, and seeing an Indian, fired at him. This proved to be the fatal shot, as it revealed to the foe his presence and ensured his speedy death at their hands. It was supposed he killed the Indian he fired at, as a cap with a buckshot hole trough it was found on the spot, but the body had been carried away by his comrades. John Larner Jr., the following day discovered an India skulking about the house and at once sped a bullet through his head. A chain was attached to his neck and the body drawn by a yoke of oxen to a mine-hole half a mile distant, where it was stamped down and left to moulder. This Indian had seven rifle-balls in his mouth, placed there to enable him to load his weapon with expedition. One writer states that JOhn Larner, on seeing the Indian, concealed himself behind a stump, took off his hat, placed a stick and lifted it above his hiding place. The red man, being deceived by this ruse, fired at the hat, when the shot was returned with fatal effect. This incident is not however, authenticated. Civil list Jacob Learn, JP 1853-63-68-73 Jackson Township-Assessment 1845, Jacob Larn Tannersville- About the year 1750 John Larner, formerly of Phila, purchased the land now embraced in the village of Tannersville. He found it a vast wilderness, but with the aid of his sons soon effected a clearning and erected for his family a comfortable abode. He proceeded to the cultivation of the land and obtained abundant crops as the reward of his labor. His children settled around him and devote their energies to farming pursuit. There was no special interest attached to this spot until 1830, when a man named Ritchie from Phila, opened a store from the sale of general merchandise adapted to a country trade, and was eventually succeeded by a merchant named Myers. The Larner family had some years before built a saw-mill, and Henry Edinger, in 1825, erected a grist-mill. Early settlements- The earliest settlement in Pocono township was undoubtedly made by the Larner (now Learn) family, John Larner having come with his family from Phila, about 1750, and settled at the spot now known as Tannersville, where he purchased a tract of land. Among his children were sons Jacob, John, George, Peter, Andrew and several daughters. Jacob moved to Hamilton twp, he married a Miss "Roming", whose children were Peter, George, Andrew, John, Samuel, of whom Peter owned the farm now owned by his son, Squire Jacob Learn (1886). He married Margaret Ann, d/o Christian Starner, and had children-Amos, Jacob,Morris, Sallie, wife of David Edinger, and one who died early in life.The only representative of the family now in the township (1886) is Squire Jacob Learn, who married Mary "Werkheiser", children, Peter, Henry, Catharine and Margaret Ann. John Learn and family moved to NY State. Peter made his home in Canada. Andrew located near Pittsburg, PA, George and his wife and child were massacred by Indians. Best Wishes, Geri

Thank you for the Hope cemetery listings! I found another Gradwohl! Transcription said: Susannnah Gradwohl Heller 5/20/1845-11/7/1892 So....she married a Heller. They probably lived in Northampton Co. In the 1880 census at www.familyserch.org, look for Heller in Northampton Co., where wife is a variation of Susan (do not use exact spelling). Tadah.... Owen Heller, in Palmer twnshp, miller; w/wife Susanna, age 34, and daughter, Lillie, age 9. From this I presume they married ca.1870. Go to recreated 1890 census at the Northampton Co. site, and they are not in Palmer twnshp or Easton....ran out of time. I will also look for them in the 1870 census. Hmmm....this Susan Gradwohl would "fit" as daughter of John Gradwohl & Mary Ann Grotz, except that another researcher reports that that Susan m. Ephraim Bauer. First marriage? Second marriage?
