This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/odB.2ACI/507 Message Board Post: My GrGrGrandfather William H BOUSUM was born in Ickesburg,Perry County, 20 February 1833. On his death certificate it lists his parents as Phillip BOUSUM and Mary SWIEGER. I can not find any information on Phillip and Mary BOUSUM. I do find a Phillip and Susannah BAUSUM in Perry county that would be about the right age- but have not been able to find any children listed with them. If anyone is working on the BOUSUM or BAUSUM families and has any suggestions I'd gladly appreciate them. Thanks! Renee

I checked the 1850 census for Buffalo Twp, Perry County. Found a bunch of Potters, intermingled with many Bairs. (All born PA) #42/42 Samuel Bair 53, Barbara 53, Susanna 19, Catherine 17, Louisa 9 #43/43 Elizabeth Potter 60, William H. 21 #44/44 Josiah Bair 25, Mary 21, Washington 1, Samuel 22, Catherine 19, Valentine 4/12 #47/47 Elizabeth Potter 30, Rebecca 11, Sarah 11, Catherine 10, George 7. #48/48 Samuel Potter 35, Catherine 25, George A. 2, Samuel 9/12, John 27, Ruth A. 16. #49/49 Catherine Potter 36, Lewis 21, Caroline 20, Levi 18, James? 17, Uriah 15, Adaline 13, Henry 12, Amanda 10, Rufus 7, Pamela 5, Frances (f) 3, Ferdindaz? 1. #50/50 John Bair 54, Mary 51, David 20, Jeremiah 16, Isaac 8. #55/55 Jacob Bair 27, Eliza 25, Sarah 4, Catherine 10/12, Eliza A. 2. #60/60 Jacob Bair 32, Sarah 24, Amanda 8, John 6, Benjamin 2. #61/61 Samuel Bair 30, Mary 24, Levi 3, Sarah A. 2, Jeremiah 10/12. #102/102 Jacob Bair 46, Sarah 29, Madalene 22, Martha 17, Sarah 13, Peter 17, Samuel 10, John G. 8. No sign of George Potter who married Catherine Emerick unless Catherine , #49/49 is the widow of George. These documents were posted some time ago on this site. They would seem to refer to several of the above families: Last Will & Testament of Jacob BAIR Senior, Perry Co. Pa. At an Orphans Court held at Bloomfield in and for said county on the 4th. day of August A.D. 1862, Before the Hon. James H. Graham, president judge and his associates of the same court. The following procedings (among others) were had to wit: The peteition of Jacob Bear, Samuel Bear, John G.

That they are the seven of the ten children of Jacob Bair, late of Buffalo Township, Perry County, dec'd. That the other three children are Peter Bair, Elizabeth intermarried with George Albright and Catharine Boyd intermarried with Joseph Boyd, the former resides in Perry County, the latter in the state of Ohio (Darke County) that the said Jacob Bair died having first made his last Will and Testament dated the 22nd. day of December 1851, which was duty proven before the Register of Perry County on the 30th. day of December 1851. That in said Will and Testament it is there contained. It is further my will that my beloved wife, Sarah have the use of the house I now live in. The farm on which I now live to be let out by my executor herein after mentioned to farm. My said wife to have the one third of all the hay, fruit and grain that may be raised on said farm and the use of one third of the garden during her natural life the grain to be delivered in the bushel. The tract of l! and refered to in said Last Will is one whereof the said Testator died . Seized in his demise as of fee and is bounded and described as follows to wit, a tract of land situated in Buffalo Township, Perry County, bounded by lands of Jacob Bair on the north, by lands of Christian Albright heirs on the west by lands of John Stephens and others on the East and by the fall mountain on the South. That the said widow of Jacob Bair is now intermarried with George Clay but does not reside on the farm. That the Execuator of said Will and Testament, Jacob Buck has rented said farm to Peter Bair and gives him 2/3 of all raised upon the farm such as grain. That said Peter Bair has been using said farm for upwards of six years. That said farm through the management control of Peter Bair is becomming considerable worse, that said Peter Bair has cut chestnut posts and rails and sold them off of the farm, hauls off hay & straw from the farm and sells the same cuts and uses green timber off the place for firewood. The buildings are in a state of delapidation and decay. There are no improvements made. That all the legatees are anxous that said land shall be sold, (except the widows share) to the intimate injury of your petitioners, that said Catharine Boyd, intermarried with Joseph Boyd is out of the state and cannot give her consent, therefore in view of all the wrongs do! ne to your petitioners, they woukd pray your Honors to grant a rule upon Mrs. Sarah Clay, wife of George Clay, Peter Bair, Joseph Boyd and Catharine his wife now residing in Darke County, Ohio, and Mrs. Elizabeth Albright to show xcause upon the first day except term if anything they have why said Real Estate in pertitions mentioned should not be sold and moneys subsituted for land an interest which Sarah Clay as widow of Jacob Bair had and held under said last Will,and Testement.

Hi: I punched Potter with Keyword Mifflin into Ancestry.com census and came up with 3 names. Two, George and Joseph, were in Mifflin County in 1850, and the ages didn't jive for them to be anything. The third was much more interesting: 1850 PA Census, Lycoming County, Mifflin Township, pg. 295, H67, F67 Robert Potter 29 Blacksmith Born PA Catharine Potter 28 born PA Mary Potter 22 born PA John Potter 18 Blacksmith, born PA William Stinger 7, In school, born PA Seems like a family of brothers and sisters, so I figured the parents were deceased. I would check 1840 for Lycoming County Potters, but first would check 1850 for other Lycoming County Potters. Here is what I found: Two, George (age 33) and Joseph (age 3), in Clinton Township, don't fit unless George, a farmer, is a brother of Robert. The third is more interesting: 1850 PA Census, Lycoming County, Anthony Township, pg. 194 William Potter 66 laborer born PA Sarah Potter 60 born PA Sophia 35 born PA Isaac Stinger 4/12, born PA Jacob Latch 60 no occupation worth 2000 born PA (brother of Sarah?) Could William and Sarah have given smithy to children and moved in with brother-in-law whose wife may have recently passed away and Jacob was ill? Everything is very neat here, except the age of John Potter. Could his birthdate have been transcribed wrong? (1832 instead of 1823?). Good luck, Kathy

Carolyn: I have been trying to locate some distinctive evidence that may tie my POTTER/BADER family tree to George Christoph Bader(died a 1767), but have come up empty so far. I do not have any marriage record or dates that concur with the reference to George Bauder and Catharine Emerick marriage from Annals of the Buffalo Valley. I have just started to look into that. There was some information at The Perry Historians in the POTTER family file among the Lenig papers. Lenig seemed to be connecting this POTTER lineage to Georg Bader, who he noted probably was from Union Co, PA, settled near Berry Mtn., east end Bucks Valley. He had a son Jacob Bauder/Potter. There is a Jacob Potter, Sr. and a Jacob Potter, Jr., both on the 1830 Buffalo Twp., Perry County Census. This Jacob Potter, Sr. is the one who Harry Lenig's notes follow as the son of Georg Bader. I cannot defend or deny this information either. We also have noted : HH Hain Hist of Perry Co., PA Pg 933-934 BUFFALO TOWNSHIP (history of) "When the new county of Perry came into existence, in 1820, the assessment list of the township of Buffalo was as follows, Watts and Howe Townships still part of the township: (among those listed in the following order are)... George Bauder, 85 acres; Jacob Bauder (blacksmith); John Bare, 40 acres; Jacob Bauder (weaver), 14 acres..." I believe these Bauder's are my Potter's. The only other Potter's I find in the area are the English who were part of the General James Potter family. Best regards, Virginia Jones Arnold, MD Researching surnames: BAIR, BADER, CASSATT, DEVEREAUX, DOYLE, FIES, GALLAGHER, KENNEDY, McDONOUGH, POTTER, RYAN, SCOUT, SHAFFER, STEPHEN, UNDERKOFFLER, WALD, WALT, WHISTLER, WHITCOMB, ZIMMERMAN, AND ZERBE

My husband is a descendent of George Christoph Bader(died a 1767) and Eva Barbara ___ of Berks County thru their daughter Elizabeth who married Peter Shearer. Berks County Church Records, Zion Moselem Church: 1757, May 3 - (Married) Peter son of Ulrich Scherer p. 3 Procl. and Elizabeth daughter of Christoph Bader, Maxatawny. While I have a file of Bader information, I have not tried to follow all the descendents of George of Berks. I do have proof that the descendents of Peter Shearer and Elizabeth Bader moved to what is now Franklin and Perry Counties.

Is genealogy just a foolish hobby? I would argue that it is not. I think each of us is linked, in some mysterious dance, with past generations. It helps to know about our past because in each of our histories are stories and events that are deeply inspiring. By knowing our history we see how the values and ideals that our families have fought for are similar or different from our own. Our ancestor's stories of success interconnect with our own lives. We can learn also from the stories of the tragic mistakes, of their dreams gone awry. We can at times even see their mistakes repeated in our own lives. So like the author of Matthew's Gospel, I think that the study of our family history can be much more than just a hobby. Because each of us is the product of our parents and grandparents as we learn more about the people that came before us, we learn more about ourselves. In a constantly changing world the digging for the roots is, in the end, the quest for a stable, core identity. All modern Americans should understand.
