Does anyone have any info regarding the parents/siblings of William Kelly, b. 11 Jan 1799, York Co PA . He was married in Union Co ca 1823-24 to Elizabeth Shaffer but I cannot find the marriage record. He died Snyder Co 28 Dec 1882. He was orphaned before he was 10 years old and probably raised by a relative, James St. Clair. James St. Clair d. ca 1825 in Union Co and left a letter of administration for Wm. Kelly, my gr gr grandfather. He had nine children, most of whom stayed in the Union/Snyder Co area.

Hi Shirley: I am a direct descendant of David Miller (b.1797 d.21-Feb-1868 in Juniata Co., PA.) and Mary Jane Reigle [aka Riegel, etc.] (b.ca.1799 d.26-Jan-1877 in Peru Mills, Lack Twp., Juniata Co., PA.). I have never found where David and Mary Jane are buried and have had a hard time following their children as I do not have a complete list of names. They had a son, Peter Long Miller who was killed during the battle of Spottsylvania. They also had a daughter Catherine who married a Joseph Richardson [this is my direct line]. I was able to find a son, William on the 1870 Census. He was b.ca.1837 and a farmer with $900 in Real Estate and $340 in Personal Estate. He was married to an Ada K., also b.ca.1837 and had a son, James b.ca.1869. Also living with them at that time was William's mother, Mary (b.ca.1802) and an Isaac Miller (b.ca.1854)[this may be a son or a nephew?????]. All were residing in Lack Twp., Juniata Co. and received their mail at East Waterford. In 1885, a James L. Miller [believe this is the one listed above?] stated that he is 17 years of age and residing in McVeytown, PA. and that he is the grandson of Mary [Jane Reigle] Miller and that she is dead. He also stated that she was entitled to the Mother's Pension that she received before her death for her son, Peter Long Miller's service [and death] in the Civil War. I have never been able to tie my Millers into the ones from Millerstown. My Millers seem to have "come from" Franklin and maybe even Snyder [then Union] Counties. I did have a hard time following which David and Mary Miller my ancestors were as there was another couple by the same names and just about the same ages residing in Juniata Co. at the same time. The "other" David and Mary seemed to have resided and owned property towards the easterly end of Juniata Co. while mine were in the westerly townships. Any help would be ever so much appreciated. To make things even more "funny", I have a David R. Miller (b.1829, in Silver Springs Twp., Cumberland Co., PA.) who married a Frances "Fanney" Brownawell. This David's parents were to be Abraham and Elizabeth Shupe Miller from Silver Spring Twp. and Dauphin Co., PA. respectively. I also have several old photos of a few Millers who were from Duncannon [at least that is where the photographer was from] and do not know who they are. I presume they are related somehow to the Brownawells as that is where the photos were found - in a Brownawell family album. Hope to be hearing from you soon......

Joan, James Kreps/Krebs was the son of David and Eliza Mabin Krebs. James had a brother, Benjamin Franklin Krebs, who was my great-grandfather. David and Eliza had the following children: John, b. ca. 1827 James, b. ca. 1829 William, b. ca. 1832 Mary, b. ca. 1837 Benjamin Franklin, b. 1839 Adam D., b. ca. 1841 Harriet, b. ca. 1843 David, b. ca. 1844 Charlotte, b. ca. 1850 Elizabeth, b. ca. 1852 Five of the Krebs boys (John, James, William, Benjamin Franklin, and Adam) were Civil War veterans. David was a collier by trade (i.e. the maker of charcoal for the old iron furnaces) and moved around quite a bit. I have found the family in Huntingdon, Mifflin, Centre, Clinton, and Union Counties. I believe, but have no proof, that David Krebs descended from the Krebs family of New Hanover, Montgomery County. They settled there in the mid 1700's. Linda Ray H.

I found the obituary of a Charles BELL among my grandmother's things. Since the funeral home was in Lewisburg, and since her family was from that town, I am starting my search there. I'm hoping he was some sort of relative. My grandmother was Hilda Marie SMITH (1897-1973), daughter of Benjamin Franklin SMITH and Emma Caroline WINEGARDNER. He died on 23 September (year not stated!) "aged about 57." He was survived by his wife and two daughters and several nieces and nephews. He was to be buried in Lewisburg Cemetery. Does anyone know who Charles was? Did he marry a SMITH? I appreciate any help you can give. Vickie Elam White

Hi! This is the List Owner with a special update. I keep seeing messages that state, "I would appreciate information on where to search for church records, marriage records, land records, etc for Union County." The Union County Historical Society is located in the Union County Courthouse at: 2nd and St Louis Streets, Lewisburg, PA 17837. I also have their web page included in my website, The Union County PA GenWeb at http://www.rootsweb.com/~paunion/society.html <http://www.rootsweb.com/~paunion/index.html> I have a page for the courthouse, as well: http://w <http://www.rootsweb.com/~paunion/index.html> ww.rootsweb.com/~paunion/courthouse.html Here is listed most of the books that they have available, plus their email address which is Hstoricl@ptd.net <mailto:Hstoricl@ptd.net> , where you can place a query for research. Since the Register and Recorder's, and the Prothonotary's offices are right down the hall from the Historical Society, the volunteers at the Historical Society have access to all public records, books, and microfilm. So your $25 will go far! If you can visit the Historical Society, all of your research is limited to one hallway which certainly makes life easy.

My mother, Esther Irene Brilhart, was born 3-30-1907 in a house halfway between Laurelton and Gleniron in Hartley Township, Union County, PA. Her father, John Samuel Brilhart, was born 6-14-1875 in the same house. John married Hannis/Annis/Alice Greaves in 1902 in McKee�s Rock, PA, and they lived in Hartley Township at the time of my mother�s birth. John�s father was Hiram W. Brilhart, born 1-13-1843 in Pennsylvania, served in the Civil War, and died in Hartley Township 10-23-1890. Hiram married Sarah Clay Fees, about whom I have been unable to find anything, other than her date of birth as about 1937 and her date and place of death as 6-15-1917 in Hartley Township. Fees may have been her maiden name, or it may have been a name from a prior marriage. I have Peter Brilhart and his wife Mary as POSSIBLE parents of Hiram, but since I lost all of my Brilhart records and am starting over, I don�t know whether this information came from his pension file or whether I assumed it because Peter and Mary were living nearby on a census. Either way, it is not yet proven. Peter was born 1822-1823 in Pennsylvania. I sure would appreciate it if you would keep an eye open for the names Brilhart/Brillhart and Fees/Feese. I would also appreciate information on where to search for church records, marriage records, land records, etc for Union County. Thank you!

Hello Sue, There was a Elizabeth Fiess (Feese) born to David and Elizabeth on 6/11/1808 in Union County it Early Pennsylvania Births 1675-1875 compiled by Charles A. Fisher. On 6/30/1852 John G. Feese married Lydia Swartzlander, New Berlin, PA by Rev. A. B Casper. In the 3 books that I have and after a quick look through I did not find any Brilhart name.

The story of 'Taps' began in 1862 during the Civil War, when Union Army Captain Robert ELLICOMBE was with his men near Harrison's Landing in Virginia. The Confederate Army was on the other side of the narrow strip of land. During the night, Captain ELLICOMBE heard the moan of a soldier who lay mortally wounded on the field. Not knowing if it was a Union or Confederate soldier, the captain decided to risk his life and bring the stricken man back for medical attention. Crawling on his stomach through the gunfire, the captain reached the stricken soldier and began pulling him toward his encampment. When the captain finally reached his own lines, he discovered it was actually a Confederate soldier, but the soldier was dead. The captain lit a lantern. Suddenly, he caught his breath and went numb with shock. In the dim light, he saw the face of the soldier. It was his son. The boy had been studying music in the South when the war broke out. Without telling his father, he enlisted in the Confederate Army. The following morning, heartbroken, the father asked permission of his superiors to give his son a full military burial despite his enemy status. His request was partially granted. The captain had asked if he could have a group of Army band members play a funeral dirge for the son at the funeral. That request was turned down since the soldier was a Confederate. Out of respect for the father, they did say they could give him only one musician. The captain chose a bugler. He asked the bugler to play a series of musical notes he had found on a piece of paper in the pocket of his dead son's uniform. This wish was granted. This music was the haunting melody we now know as "Taps" that is used at all military funerals. In case you are interested, these are the words to "TAPS": Day is done, Gone the sun, From the lakes, From the hills, From the sky. All is well. Safely rest. God is nigh. ==== PACAMBRI Mailing List ==== When responding to a message thread that has been ongoing, please check the subject line to make sure that it accurately reflects the topic of your message. --------------2C0E75DCB17--

Hi Listers: Here's another interesting story that was sent to me and should be an addition to the "History Lesson" that I sent previously. This one is also very interesting and explains the meaning of a very common saying. Hope you all enjoy this one also... Donna Heller Zinn ============================================================ Subject: Re: [PAWESTMO-L] [Fwd: History Lesson] Date: Sat, 21 Aug 1999 16:04:22 -0400 From: "FRYE FAMILY" <frye@gnat.net> To: <djzinn@pa.net> Intresting stories Donna, Heres one you might not have heard of. In the early years of our country, The continential armed forces would usually not set camp in the middle of nowhere.Usually they would stay at large farms where landowners would let the army use their resources as their donations to the cause. The armies would sometimes stay for days...sometimes weeks. When the landowner thought the welcome was worn out.....He would invite the General or top ranking soldier to dinner. During one of the courses they were served a shoulder of pork which was served cold. It was the gentlemans way, without saying anything out loud.....that it was time to move on. So came the expression of giving someone the " COLD SHOULDER" Letting him know without saying so. It was taken without offence and the army would move on... Thought you might like to hear that to add to your intresting stories... Kevin Frye@gnat.net Butler Georgia http://www.angelfire.com/ga2/Andersonvilleprison/index.html

I thought you might appreciate this piece of early history information. Enjoy! Life in the 1500s: Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and were still smelling pretty good by June. However, they were just starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Baths equaled a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women, and finally the children. Last of all were the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually loose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water." Houses had thatched roofs. Thick straw, piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the pets ... dogs, cats and other small animals, mice, rats, bugs, etc. lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying, "It's raining cats and dogs." There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could really mess up your nice clean bed. So, they found if they made beds with big posts and hung a sheet over the top, it took care of the problem. Hence those beautiful big four poster beds with canopies. The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt, hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors which would get slippery in the winter when wet. So they spread thresh on the floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they kept adding more thresh until it would all start slipping outside when you opened the door. A piece of wood was placed at the entry way, hence a "thresh hold." They cooked in the kitchen in a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They mostly ate vegetables and didn't get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes the stew had food in it that had been there for a month. Hence the rhyme: Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old. Sometimes they could obtain pork and would feel really special when that happened. When company came over, they would bring out some bacon and hang it to show it off. It was a sign of wealth and that a man "could really bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat." Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with a high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food. This happened most often with tomatoes, so they stopped eating tomatoes ... for 400 years. Most people didn't have pewter plates, but had trenchers-a piece of wood with the middle scooped out like a bowl. Trenchers were never washed and a lot of times worms got into the wood. After eating off wormy trenchers, they would get "trench mouth." Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the "upper crust." Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey. The combination would sometimes knock them out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake." England is old and small and they started running out of places to bury people. So, they would dig up coffins and would take their bones to a house and reuse the grave. In reopening these coffins, one out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they started tying a string on the deceased wrist and led it through the coffin and up through the ground where is was tied to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night to listen for the bell. Hence on the "graveyard shift" they would know that someone was "saved by the bell" or he was a "dead ringer." --------------18441ED81F2B--

Does anyone have a Mary BENFER who married George C. BETZER or George COLBETZER or George CALBETZER or George COLPETZER? Am not certain about her name. Whoever she was, she died when her boys were very small. One son's death record (he was 4 when she died) gives her name only as "Mary". Another son's death record (he was 2 or 3 when she died) gives her surname as "Benfer". Her children were born between 1815 and 1829. She died in abt 1831.

All of these brothers were born in PA: JONAS FISHER, born 1805 marr MARY FISHER, LEONARD FISHER, 1808 marr SARAH, SAMUEL FISHER, born 1810, was single. When SAMUEL FISHER died in St. Joseph County, MI, he left money to buy gravestone for SAMUEL FISHER, son of PAUL FISHER of Union County, PA. He also left another sum for gravestone for SAMUEL FISHER, son of GEORGE FISHER of Lycoming County, PA I am looking for information to identify the two men who were buried in PA and what their relationship was to the three Michigan men.

Hi folks: Below is a forward of a follow-up message to yesterday's message on WWI Draft Registrations that I forwarded to the lists. There must have been some confusion from the info and I hope this will help to clarify things... Sincerely, Donna Heller Zinn ============================================================ Subscribers, Here is a follow up message to yesterdays WW I Draft information Message. I hope this helps answer any questions you may have had. Don Varner Coordinator, USGenWeb Project, Cambria County PA > http://www.rootsweb.com/~pacambri/ < Coordinator, Rootsweb Mailing list, Cambria County, PA FOLLOW UP MESSAGE: I received about a dozen e-mails this morning all asking the same question so I know that I was not clear in my post yesterday. If you forwarded my message about the WWI draft cards being at the GA NARA branch will you please also forward this message? The original draft card applications (registrations) for every state (the entire US) are at East Pointe. According to the Archive Staff there are no plans to split these cards and move any of them to any other NARA location since East Pointe has been charged with the "custody" of these records. It is only the original cards that are in state / county / alpha order. Someone posted a message to one of the lists that NARA was planning on re-filming the cards since they are now in state / county / alpha order. If such a thing is underway it is unknown to the East Pointe archive staff and they should know if such a thing was in the works. If you request a copy of your ancestor's draft card from any NARA branch other than this one they will be searching the LDS microfilm and you will have to know the state and draft board for them to make a copy. It is only at the East Pointe location that you can request a copy by state and then county and the copy will be made from the ORIGINAL card. If I'm still unclear please let me know.
