Hello I have an ancestor that is living in 1850 with Rev JP SHINDEL and his wife Susanna. Mary Ann BOWMAN They lived in the same area as the Jesse BASTIAN family. Mary Ann in 1850 is about 16 and soon after 1850 and after Rev J P Shindel dies she is married to Ebenezer BASTIAN / BOSTIAN. They lived in 5th Ward Sunbury all there lives. On what was Rail Road Ave. In the 1850 census it gives no indication why she is living with them she is not a servant or step child etc. I have wondered if Susanna SHINDEL was maybe a second wife to Rev J P Shindel and if Susanna was Mary Ann's mother? She could be a relative ? Any way if any one can find a peice of this puzzle I am still seeking for the father and mother of a Mary Ann BOWMAN who married after 1850 Ebenezer BASTIAN/BOSTIAN in Sunbury Northumberalnd CO PA.
