I'm responding to the list on this, not because of the name involved but because of the circumstance described. My ggrandfather, Joseph Wesley Huggins, also moved from Perry County, PA, to Kansas with his family in 1879! He settled in Ellsworth County. His brother-in-law named Hetrick also moved there. My other paternal ggrandfather, Irvin Black, moved from Jefferson Co., PA, to the same area in Kansas the same year. Does anyone have information about how these coincidental moves took place? What attracted them to Kansas? Why the moves at that particular time? Was there coordination? How many others did the same thing? Thanks for any thoughts and especially any evidence relating to this!

I am looking for David Powell born abt. 1874 in Perry Co. who married Isabelle Williamson born 1888 in Juniata Co. They were listed on the 1910 Mifflin Co. Lewistown census as neighbors. They got married that year. I think they then moved to Juniata Co. because in 1920 they were on the Juniata Co. Lackawanna Twp. I am looking for their marriage license. I have nothing on David. I would like to find his parents. Jan Storey

Does the Perry Co. Historical Society have an e-mail address?

Karen, I found a copy of "The Flickinger Family History" about ten years ago in the Juniata Co. Historical Soc. Library, Mifflintown, Pa. As I recall the book was soft cover, perhaps spiral bound, and produced by photocopying. I forget its date of production but I think it is at least 75 years old. I could be wrong, but I got the impression it was never published commercially. I regret to tell you I think your chances of finding a copy of the Flickinger book for sale are very, very slim. I think your best chance is to advise a firm that searches for out-of-print books that you want to buy a copy, or file your interest with some used (oops, pre-owned) book companies. You can locate such companies by using the Google metasearch at: http://www.google.com On the other hand, if a lookup would help you, you might want to contact the Juniata Co. Historical Soc. via E-mail. The latest address I have, from Jul 2001, is: [email protected] I have some Sulouff & Groninger relatives mentioned in the Flickinger book, but regret I do not have in my files the surnames you list in your message. Good luck, Rev. Nelson R. Sulouff ///////////////////////////////////////////////// ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 03, 2002 5:40 AM Subject: [PA-Perry] Flickinger Family > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Dachtler, Hildinger,Deal,Shreffler,Clark,Luster > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/odB.2ACI/408 > > Message Board Post: > > Hi!

IT appears that Catherine Moyer was still alive in 1860 living with a son. I really need that will or probate data if there is any. She was in Rye Township area early four doors from son JOHN MYERS. We do know she was alive with several small children when Valentine died in 1823 Dauphin Co PA. I have since found her in several census near JOHN in Perry Co. PA then when older with another male we think was Johns' brother. IS there an index to the wills for Perry Co? Are they assessable to read? Most counties have the wills but not sure if they were indexed. Her death appears to be after 1860. Catherine JONES MOYER dcdd husband was Valentine MOYER Dauphin Co 1823. Thanks for any help.

I don't think this is the one I am looking for though. My records (name only from the 1860 census) indicate she would have been 31 in 1860. That would put the birthday of the Mary or Maria Huss at 1829. I wish the earlier census records listed the children by their names instead of just their gender.,

A couple of days ago I introduced myself to this List with an inquiry re: ROBERT PORTER who d. 1817 in Millerstown, Greenwood Twp. Perry Co. PA and is buried in the Millerstown Memorial Cemtery with a tombstone designating his birthplace as "Red Castle, Ireland". Since that posting I have located Red Castle. It is in County Donegal, on the Inishowen Penninsula, about 5 miles northwest of Derry, and overlooking Lough Foyle. The nearest town is Moville. Co. Donegal is now, of course, part of the Republic of Ireland but ROBERT, a Presbyterian, was born on a sand spit in the northernmost part of the island. ROBERT "ate the sea for breakfast" as they say in that part of the world. cheers, Arlene

IT appears that Catherine JONES MOYER was living with Jacob Moyer in 1850 yet. I am looking for a will or probate package as to her demiss and death. IT is believed she is John's mother. Her husband was Valentine MOYER dcd 1822/3 Dauphin Co area. Son John born 1809 near Harrisburg is all we have. :Learning much of what we have not true. It has been destorted with who married whom and when some linkages are not correct. She lived near JOhn in 1830, 1840 with Jacob in 1850 also, maybe was with Jacob 1840 to tired to remember but I know in 1830 she was five doors down from John and his wife. Her family and all between houses. She does show in 1840 and 1850 *****Catherine MOYER is 73 in 1860 census still living with Jacob MOYER. And who is the Eskelman girl living with them at this time? Does anyone have descendants of Jacob MOYER etc. ?? I would like to know if data on Catherine MOYER in files,index, probate, etc.? Thank you. Blessings SusiCP
