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/wdB.2ACI/834.1 Message Board Post: I found this info: Charles Henry son of Isaiah & Isabella, died April 28, 1858 age 9 month 26 days. Buried Lutheran & Reformed cemetery near Middleburg. This is found in the Snyder Co. Tombstone inscriptions by Wagenseller. Although it is not proof that they were married before 1858, it is likely. Unfortunately, marriages were not recorded in the courthouse before 1885. Also, any chance Isabella died young and Isaiah remarried? I found in Snyder Co. marriages by Wagenseller: Sept 27 1884 Isaiah Henry and Mrs. Ada Rishel, both of mifflinburg, married by Rev. D. M. Stetler at Bannerville. I could not find Isabella nor Henry in the Tombstone book.

I would like to compare McCreary/McCreery family histories with any interested parties. Shari McCreary Price

Last year Ken Egolf gave me info on Michael Egolf who purchased 300 acres on Middle Creek in about 1769. There was nothing to indicate what Michael this was. I worked out that the land on Middle Creek was probably in what is now Snyder County. At that time it was Penn Township in a very large Cumberland County. I know there may be other Egolffs around but I assumed this was the Michael born 1725 in Engstadt, Germany - the baker of Philadelphia and later, maybe of Schaefferstown and Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Ken and June have given me a lot of this information but the assumptions are mine. But then as I was finalizing my Egolf story - which I write for the education and entertainment of my children - I tried to imagine me a baker on Middle Creek in 1769. My hands are soft from working with dough in my Philadelphia bakery where I had plenty of unskilled apprentices and other help to cut wood and fire the oven. The last time I had cut wood I was a very young lad working for my father, a cooper. in Engstadt - he had ovens to condition his barrels to accept the hoops. But that was thirty-five years ago. Here I was trying to cut down a tree to clear land for a patch of farmland and I didn't even have an axe. Nor had I ever cut down a tree. I had soon discovered that there was no way I could support myself, on this Frontier on Middle Creek, as I had done so successfully for years in Philadelphia. There were less than a hundred people in Penn Township and they were so far apart that they could neither see nor smell the smoke of a neighbor's fire. There wasn't anybody to whom I could sell bread. If I had the oven. If I had the milled grains - and I knew there was barely enough corn for the family that grew it. And I wondered to myself - winter is coming - I have no hut - I have never before planted a seed in the ground - I am not much of a hunter. Maybe I can fish - if I had a hook and line. But I don't really like that much fish. And I remembered that the land contract required that I have my family on this property by 1771. And I asked myself what am I doing, a 44-year-old city boy, a baker out here on the frontier? If I wanted to go west I should go to a village where my baked goods will be appreciated. And then I realized that I was from a long line of survivors - I had too much commonsense to come out to this wilderness and expect to make a living for my family - baking bread on Middle Creek. And with a feeling of great joy and relief I awakened to find that it was all in Hal's imagination. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ But if he wasn't the Michael from Philadelphia who was he? Best regards Hal

Hello to the list - I just subscribed today and thought that I would post my family. By dint of my own research, census info, the book "The Rausch Family in America", and other documents, this is what I have put together. I would love to communicate with anyone else researching this line. Happy to share details of my branches. George Casper ROUSH, b ca 1721, Germany?, d 1811 Freeburg, Northumberland Co, PA John George ROUSH, b 1753 PA (Lebanon?), d after 1812 Married Christina MORR in 1773 John ROUSH, b c 1804 PA, probably Union Co; d after 1855 Lucas Co OH Married 1) Catherine BICKEL ca 1803 Married 2) Salome GLASS Francis "Frank" ROUSH, b 1812/1818 PA; d 1904 Howell Co MO Married 1) Elizabeth SPADE? (son's death certificate) Married 2) Catherine Unknown - these marriages may be reversed. John ROUSH, b 20 March 1837 near Freeburg, Union Co PA; d 1915 Howell Co MO Married 1) Emmaline CUNNINGHAM Married 2) Roxanna HOLDEN John ROUSH b 1804 apparently moved to Lucas Co OH prior to 1838. Francis 'Frank' is found in the same census. By 1860 Frank was found in Oregon Co MO, and thereafter he remained in Howell Co MO, as did two of his sons. Also in Howell Co was Phillip ARBOGAST, the son of Eva ROUSH (sister of Frank) and Samuel ARBOGAST, both of Union Co Thanks for any talk that this might inspire.

Hello As We in the USA celebrate Veterans Day I would like to say just a few words to all our veterans and fallen heroes on the Battlefields across the World. Thank you for all you do and have done for this country and for others. I have ancestors that served both Great Britain and the United States and I am very proud of my heritage. Here is a list of my ancestors that served. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~geyerseybold/folder/MilitaryService.html Thanks Dan Geyer -- Daniel J. Geÿer Esq.

Dear List, There is finally a site where you can go to and register your love one that participated in World War II. My Mom gave me my Dad's service records and I found he had received 5 metals! So much I did not know when he was alive. Peggy Goetz Price http://www.wwiimemorial.com/

How would I go about tracing a death and/or burial record for the following individual: Jacob Sheets (Sheetz) b. ca 1825 PA d. before 1880 In the 1860 census Jacob and family are listed in Seliinsgrove, Snyder County, where he is an "Innkeeper." In the 1870 census the family is listed as living in Sunbury, Northumberland County; his occupation is "Hotelkeeper." In 1880 his wife, Sarah A. (Weidenhammer) Sheets is listed as a widow, living in Chapman, Snyder County. I have a note that he may be buried in McKee Half Falls, which I believe is in Snyder County. Having trouble tracing Jacob's personal information, as well as ancestors. Any help would be appreciated. Will need addresses to write to, as I live in California. Thanks, Vicki

Roger, I do not have a clear connection to your George BINGAMAN, but what I have on BINGAMAN in Northumberland Co. might possibly provide you some clues if you are searching for George's ancestors. I have a 4th great grandfather, Frederick BINGAMAN, born 15-JAN-1755, died 30-OCT-1845, Troxelville (now Snyder) PA, buried Troxelville: now Union Cem. (Snyder) PA. He married Maria Christina HUFNAGLE on 06-APR-1779, born 03-MAY-1758, died 12-APR-1818, Troxelville (now Snyder) PA, buried: Troxelville: now Union Cem. (Snyder) PA. The area around Troxelville lay in Northumberland Co. from 1772 to 1813 when it came into Union Co. Then in 1855 this area came into Snyder Co. Looking at dates, I see a possibility that your George BINGAMAN could be a grandson of my Frederick. If you do not find any better candidates, you might want to consider looking into Frederick BINGAMAN's sons and grandsons. Unfortunately, I have recorded only one of Frederick's sons, Yost Heinrich BINGAMAN born 17-OCT-1785 [cf. 1782 from cemetery headstone], died 13-NOV-1832, buried:Troxelville: Union Cem. (Snyder) PA. He married Catherine MOYER born 09-APR-1786, died 02-MAY-1857, buried: Troxelville: Union Cem. (Snyder) PA. Similarly I have recorded only one of Yost Heinrich's daughters, Julianna BINGAMAN born 08-MAR-1824, then Union, now Snyder Co.?, died 20-FEB-1887, Monroe Twp? Snyder Co. PA, buried: Snyder Co. PA. She married Samuel SMITH on 25-MAR-1845, who died 16-NOV-1889, Monroe Twp (Snyder) PA. This is about all I have on my BINGAMAN ancestors in Northumberland>Union>Snyder Co. Actually this data I have on the Frederick and Yost Heinrich BINGAMAN families was given to me over three years ago by another researcher and I have have not taken the time to verify it. If you are interested in what I have as a possible lead to be pursued, I might be able to help you get in touch with the researcher from whom I received my information. I am also posting this on the PASnyder ListServ, to which I am sure some BINGAMAN researchers are subscribed. Nelson R.
