3rd Annual "On the Trail of Perry County History" hosted by The Perry Historians. There was such a great interest shown by our "tour-goers" last year, as we toured the path of the Newport and Shermans Valley Railroad, that fellow members Harry Focht and Steve Metzger agreed to do resaerch on and map out the route of the Perry County Railroad... which, during the same time, was in great competition with the Newport and Shrmans Valley Railroad to cross Perry County. Our newest On the Trail of Perry County History Tour will follow the Perry County Railroad route from its beginning in Duncannon to its end in Landisburg. We will also be investigating several other places of historic interest, including the Millerstown area in conjunction with our African American History project which fellow member and volunteer, Janet Taylor is diligently working on. We'll be gathering at the East Parking Lot at Little Buffalo State Park (near Shoaff's Mill and the dam area) by no later than 7:45 a.m.. Bus pulls out at 8:00 a.m. sharp! All persons must be aboard a bus - NO Cars! Lunch will be served by the New Bloomfield Lutheran Church and will consist of baked chicken breast and scalloped potatoes, dessert and beverage. Deadline for reservations in March 3, 2011. Seating is limited to 47 persons and will be filled on a first-come first-served basis. Wear comfortable shoes - as there may be some walking. Cost for the trip - which includes the meal is $30.00 per person. Payment must be made in the form of a check. For more information or a reservation form, please e-mail me at [email protected] The Perry Historians is a genealogical library located at 763 Dix Hill Rd., New Bloomfield, PA. 17068 - just north of New Bloomfield, Perry Co., PA. on Rt. 34.

Hi Jeanie, His name was Crawford Fullarton GLOVER; he was born in Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland C 1824 and went to Pottsville between the 1850 and 1860 Census, events that I have found in Scotland indicate that it was most likely between 1856 and 1860. He became a tobacco merchant and died in Pottsville C 1895. His brother was my GG grandfather who came to the Australian gold rush and then went to the rush in New Zealand where he died in 1895.

Bonnie, I also have an ancestor who was buried there but there is no headstone. I even have the deed to the cemetery plot. Could be a headstone was never purchased and placed on the grave. Another possibility is that old stones toppled, were buried, or removed for some reason. You might have to face the possibility that you will never find her.

We are trying to determine the mother of a family of children. David Hartline may have married Lydia NN around 1820. After her death, David married Molly Smith "around 1830". Learning the date of that second marriage is essential for determining which children belong to which wife of David. In 1830 the family lived in Upper Mahantongo Township. Thank you.
