I have an Elizabeth Wagonseller, daughter of George and Leticia (Cavender) Wagonseller. I don't have any info on Elizabeth, except that I believe she was born between 1818 and 1835. Could this be the same Elizabeth Wagenseller that married the Jacob you spoke of?

His grandfather Lloyd Bowersox was born in 1883 in Snyder County. When he was about 13 years old he was sent to Ohio to live with an uncle there. While there, his classmates wrote letters and sent in one envelope to him. This was evidently a project for the class. These letters are dated 03/11/1897 and were mailed from Northumberland, PA. Those writing the letters were: RALPH VANDEVENDER BERTHA M. SWARTZ EVA M. BAKER NORA WERT GRIER BOWERSOX (brother of Lloyd) ANNIE SNYDER TIM ? ESTELLA LONG WALTER ?

I believe he is the same Henry Frybarger that was the father of some of Mary Landis' children. He disappeared shortly after the 1870 census.

It would appear that the Henry I mentioned wasn't the same one, but he could be related to Lovina's husband. I don't think there was a will, but a newspaper article says he drowned in McVeytown, before Nov. 23, 1870, and there was a grand jury empaneled to investigate. There may be a record of that.
