Brian, I apologize if this is a duplicate post. I sent it yesterday and it didn't show up in my email, so I am not sure if it went through or not, Also some of the below is a duplicate of information posted by Laney. I took a quick look at the census information and found a Joseph (not John) Geary (a shoe maker) married to Catherine in Derry Twp. (1850), he is 51, Catherine is 48, and they have the following children-John, age 22-Catherine, age 20-Elizabeth, age 18-Joseph, age 16 and Peter, age 13. There is also a John Geary in Derry Twp. in 1850, age 60 married to Catherine Geary, age 57. He is a shoemaker with the following children-John, age 23 (also a shoe maker)-Joseph, age 23-William, age 21-Elizabeth, age 19-Jacob, age 17-Catharin, age 15-Rebecca Geary, age 13 and listed again Rebecca Geary, age 5. All were listed as being in PA. In 1860, in New Derry, I found Joseph Geary, age 59, farmer, born PA with wife Catherine, age 58, born PA and son John (a shoe maker), age 29 and born in PA, Joseph, age 26, a laborer, born PA, Peter, age 22, born PA and Patric Coil, age 17, farmer, born PA. In 1870, Joseph Geary (age 48) is in Derry Township with Margaret ( age 41) with James E. (12), John M. (9), George B. (7), Catherine (5), Jospeh (1). In 1880, Joseph is not listed, Margret, at age 52, is the head of the household and a farmer with the following children-James E., 22, book pedler-John M., 19-George, 17-Catherine, 15-Joseph, 11. In 1900, Margaret ( born July 1829, age 69, widowed, five children, four living) is in Latrobe Boro, living with her son, George B., born Oct. 1862, age 37, married 12 years. George's wife is Maggie B., born Sept. 1862, Raymond L,, born July 1889-Lewis H., born Nov. 1890-Francis L., born Apr. 1892-Joseph A., July 1893-Eleanor G., July 1893-Ailana? E., Feb. 1899. The Adams Memorial Library in Latrobe has several obituaries for this family. At a glance, I see that James E. died in 1906. Here is a link to their site. http://www.adamslib.org/catalogs/deadabase/ Also, I don't know if this is any help or not, but the Westmoreland E services has records for later Geary marriages. Here is a link to that too. http://westmorelandweb400.us:8088/EGSPublicAccess.htm Dawne
