Hello there, Amelia Womer is my 3rd Great Grandmother, daughter of Daniel Womer/Wommer and Anne Maria Bergstrasser. Johann Bernhard Wommer was from Eitzweiler, Saarland Germany, arrived in PA in 30 Aug 1737 on the Ship "Samuel" wife, Anna Maria Hubing. His parents, Hans Jacob Wommer and Maria Elizabeth Blasius also came to PA, dying in 1746. Daniels father was Godfrey Womer son of Johann Bernhard, b. 31 January 1705 at Eitzweiler. Amelia ws b. 4 December 1808 at Mahantongo Township, Northumberland County, PA (later Snyder County) he married Thomas Graybill, b.21 January 1797 at Mahantongo Twp. Thomas and Amelia migrated to Iowa in 1841, later followed by her brother, Daniel who founded Womer, Kansas. Besides Daniel, parents Godfrey and unknown had Anthony Wommer, b. April 4 1774,Mary Elizabeth, b. 18 Feb. 1776, Jacob, b. about 1780, Henry, b. about 1784 and John, about 1793, Godfrey had a brother, Johann Michael, b. 8 November 1733 in Germany. Johann Michael m. Maria Barbara Spohn, they had a son, Henry, probably were other children as well I do not have. The Womers are mentioned in the "Annals of Buffalo Valley Pennsylvania" by Linn published 1877, reproduced of which I have a copy. the Graybills, Womers and Bergstressers were in the Rev War, the Northumberland County Militia I could send you my Womer file as a Word Doc if you'd like ? Goes back to Johann Jacob Wommer, b. abt 1615, Eitzweiler. Probably your Sally Womer is from another of Johann Bernhards sons ? I have incomplete sibling marriages though, mostly just my direct line. I do have a picture of Amelia Womer in my Family History book "History of a John Graybill Family in America" Second edition. There is also a Cousin working on a Womer Family History Book but I lost my email address's in a Hard Drive crash so have lost track of him. I do have copies of the Bergsträßer/Bergstresser Family history if you do connect to them ? I also have the book, "The Story of Snyder County" by Dunkelberger which does have an E. T. Lepley on pgs. 844, 846, E. T. Lepley was from the 1940s.

I have an Anthony LEPLEY married to a Sally WOMER. Have his birth date as about 1780 in what would then have been Northumberland Co. No other dates. I believe they removed early 1800s to Crawford Co., Pa. I have an old map of Snyder Co. which shows that Womers owned land there. Was hoping that we might make a connection here.
