Hi! Samuel Jackson SAWLEY, born 19 Nov 1879, told his family he was born in Oil town, PA. Would like to hear from anyone that might know if he meant, Oil City in Venango Co., PA, or.... is there any other places in PA that might be called Oil town? My big problem is I can't find him on the 1880 census. I have some other research ideas to find his parents, but does any here know or have information regarding him, parents, or siblings? I'd be happy with any ideas/clues. Thanks, Bev in Calif.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Marshall, Perry, McGough, Hoover, Phipps, Welsh Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/0dB.2ACI/4177 Message Board Post: My research focuses on Descendant Families of JOHN MARSHALL (about 1761 to 1806) and his wife CATHARINA TRUBY ROHRER MARSHALL (about 1763 to 1806), and of her children by her first marriage to FREDERICK ROHRER, JR. (1766/7-1794). Marshall was born in Ireland, and he seems to appear suddenly in Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in the late 1790s; his first child, Andrew Marshall, was born there in 1800. His arrival in Greensburg may (or may not!) be related to the disastrous Irish Rising of 1798 against the British. Catharina Marshall was the daughter of Christopher Truby, a descendant of French Huguenots, a soldier and an early settler in Westmoreland County. The Trubys moved to the near vicinity of present-day Greensburg from eastern Pennsylvania in 1771. He took his place in the civil and military life of the Pennsylvania frontier. Truby's wife was Sybilla Bauman, and the family found itself part of the growing German-speaking community of this region. Truby died on 20 February 1802 in the tavern-home of the Marshalls in Greensburg. John Marshall was one of the administrators of his estate. Catharina first married Frederick Rohrer. Their children were Elizabeth Rohrer (1792-1881, married Elisha Robinson) and Frederick Augustus Rohrer (1794-1882, married first Sarah (Sallie) Frains/Frame; and second, Eliza Ulam Wolf). The children of John and Catharina Marshall were Andrew Marshall (1800-1832, married Barbara McQuiston of Butler, PA); Samuel Marshall (1801-1835, married Phebe Perry of Scrubgrass Township, Venango County, PA); John Marshall (1803-1889, married Charlotte Kelker of Butler); and Mary Ann Marshall (1804-1895, married Elisha H. Bailey, who was born in Centre County, Pennsylvania). This blended Marshall-Rohrer family moved from Greensburg in late 1805 or early 1806 to the Ohio frontier village of New Lancaster, Fairfield County. Tragedy struck them in the summer of 1806 when both parents died of a fever. Catharina's sister, Mary Ann "Polly" Truby Hovey, wife of Dr. Simeon Hovey, was responsible for bringing the orphaned children back to western Pennsylvania. With the exception of Frederick A. Rohrer, who lived in Greensburg, the other five children seem to have been reared by their Truby relatives on the west bank of the Allegheny River in Perry Township, northwestern Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. Within a decade or so, the villages of Parker's Landing, on the river, and Lawrenceburg, situated above Parker's Landing, were established. These small towns merged into Parker City during the oil boom after the Civil War; today it is known simply as Parker. The story of Marshalls, Trubys, Hoveys, Rohrers and Robinsons in this region is tightly interwoven. If you are a member of this family, please contact me! I am eager to exchange information.

Surnames: McBride, Adamczyk, Hively, Czachorski Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0dB.2ACI/3485.1 Message Board Post: This is not quite what you were asking for but all of the names are pretty much the same. My gg-grandfather was James McBride who married (second wife) Caroline Fry or Frye. He was born in 1811. She in 1822. They lived in PA and moved to Michigan in 1955. James' first wife was Polly Wolf. They had 3 children. The oldest was John McBride who married Mary Ann Brewer (nee Gregory). They had a daughter named Gertrude Adell McBride who was born in 1869 and died in 1962. Gertrude married William Leslie Bostwick. They had 10 children. One of their children was named Mary Alice Bostwick. She was born in 1906. So Gertrude McBride was the granddaughter of James and Caroline but she was not born in 1882. I don't have any Gertrude or Mary McBride who were born in 1882. Hope this info leads you somewhere. I will be glad to give you more details if you need them. Nancy (McBride) Hively
