Hi all, I would like to thank everbody who replied to this, the 1890 census lookup. All information was gratefully received. Thanks everybody. David Andrews. --------------------------------- Win a BlackBerry device from O2 with Yahoo!. Enter now.

This is all the information I have on George W. Bricker and Sarah Pinkston GEORGE W. BRICKER FACT: Name: George W. Bricker (my great grandpa) Born: 21 March 1833 Died: 8 Sept 1905 in Perry Township, Licking County Cannot locate a death certificate for him. ASSUME: That he was born in Coshocton County, Ohio - but he might have been born in Pennsylvania. The census shows that he was born in Ohio. FACT: Married Hannah Huffman Date: 19 July 1855 Place: Coshocton County Born: 30 April 1838 in Tuscarawas County Died: 15 Dec 1859 in Fresno, Coshocton County FACT They had 2 children (1) John Fidley Bricker Born: 3 Jan 1857 Died: 27 Feb 1950 in Albia, Iowa (2) Malissa Jane Bricker Born: 26 August 1858 in Fresno, Coshocton County Died: 7 Jan 1947 in Perry Township, Licking County ASSUME: That John was born in Fresno, Coshocton County FACT: George W. Married Eliza Jane Osborn Deweese (my ggrandma) Date: 1 Oct 1865 Born: 13 May 1830 in Mt. Sterling, Muskingum County Died: 25 Jul 1902 in Perry Township Licking County FACT: They had 2 children (1) Sarah E. Bricker Born: 19 Sept 1866 (2) Sibbett McCann Bricker (my grandfather) Born: 15 Oct 1870 in Perry Township, Licking County Died: 25 May 1945 in Newark, Licking County I have located George W. in the following census: 1900 George W. & Eliza in Perry Township, Licking County 1880 George W., Eliza, John, Malissa, Sarah and Sibbett in Perry Township, Licking County 1870 George W., Eliza, Sarah in Perry Township, Licking County 1860 I found a George Bricker age 26 and John age 3 living with a William Pinkerton/Pinkston. (The ages match that of my George W and his son John.) This was in Bakersville, Adams Township, Coshocton County. William's wife Sarah is listed as being 32 years of age. I am thinking that Sarah might be George W.'s sister (or at least some relative of his). I cannot find any information on Sarah at all. 1850 I found a George, age 17, living with William Pinkston. (The age Matches that of my George W.) This was in Bakersville, Adams Township, Coshocton County. The Sarah that is living there on this census has as her age being 40. Per Polock on the genealogy chat - he found the Pinkston in the 1870 census in Adams Township, Coshocton County. Again her age was much different than the other two. He is thinking that we might be dealing with two Sarah Pinkston. I am thinking that George W.'s parents might have died when he was a very young child. I cannot locate a birth certificate for him because Coshocton County did not start keeping records until 1867. I looked to see if I could locate guardianship records and could not because of the fact that Coshocton County told me they did not keep records until 1867. George served in the Civil War and I have his military records - but it does not show who his parents were. Because of his military service - he ended up being blind at the time of his death and he did receive a pension from the Government for his service. Really would love to find his parents.

I am looking for the spouse of Sarah. The last name should be Bricker. I think she is the mother of George W. Bricker. By 1850 she had married William Pinkston and George W. Bricker was living with her and William. George W. Bricker has been my brick wall for a number of years. I just cannot seem to locate his parents. I am thinking that they might have lived in Westmorland County and then moved to Ohio after Sarah's first husband Bricker died. This is a stab in the dark. But I am trying just about anything at this point. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my e mail. I will be willing to share any and all information I have on the Bricker family, which is not much. Georgia

Dear Listers of the above name, I have been doing some extensive research on this name in Westmoreland County lately & I'm not finished, but it seems to me that there is a great deal to be desired on fitting part of the family lines together besides the limited families that already written about in the county history books. If you have been working on this name I would like to hear from you. It's about time some of those of this name is placed where it will be of the most use to others. For the amount of listings between the Lutheran & Reformed church & cemetery records it looks like some of these people may have become involved in other denominations. I would like to ask if any of the researchers on here have found burials for them in other churches & cemeteries than listed in the Fischer & Ruff works. I have placed them in specific townships & am still sorting out more. Ellen (ETHS-VP) Visit my web site at: http://www.familytreetracer.com <http://www.familytreetracer.com/>

David, There is no 1890 US census. It was burned up in a fire. The best we can do is 1900. Will that do or do you already have that.

RE: Coats of Arms In the UK the crest was handed down to the next lord in the family (House of Lords). The government had "heralds" whose job it was to travel the country and certify that the current individual using the crest was in truth the proper lord. If you can tie into one of the family trees that they used you have found a gold mine. (I seem to have lost the URL for the book of family trees.) BTW, this implies correctly that there is no such thing as a "Family Coat of Arms" but rather it belongs to the current lord. See http://www.heraldry-scotland.co.uk/beginners.html As far a German family coats of arms, a similar thing holds true. Unlike the English and Scots who cherished their coats of arms and passed them down to signify the head of the family, the German coats of arms were only for a single individual. Crests (Wappen) are used in Germany to signify offices, guilds, villages, regions, and etc not families. Be that as it may, I will cherish my "HELD Family Coat of Arms" that I got from a street vendor knowing full well that it is a farce. At least it looks good on the wall.

Hello, I have two families listed in Boucher's History of Westmoreland and there are Coats of Arms shown with these two families. The families are Henry Wise and Nathan Williams,they are associated with the write up about Thomas Donohoe's wife, Cecelia Wise Donohue on Page 569 of the Biographical section. I encountered these items early in my research. I did not think they were relevant. If any one has a copy of the Boucher book, would you be kind enough to browse through it and see if Coats of Arms are frequently displayed in the book, and if so, what families? Names with British/Irish/Scots descent or German or other European descent? Cecelia Wise's grandfather, Henry Wise was a Silversmith. I had ignored the Coats of Arms as meaningless, but it occurred to me that since Cecelia Wise Donohoe's grandfather was a Silversmith who would have apprenticed at the time Coats of Arms were inscribed as identification on silver pieces during the Colonial period, that perhaps he did have his own Coat of Arms, and this may be an idea to pursue. If any one has researched the Henry Wise family and the Nathan Williams family I would be interested in communicating with you. Thanks, Shirley
