I have a Bible that was apparently owned by the Jodor Masemore (many spellings ensued) referenced in several family trees. The births listed in the publicly-posted family trees are hand-written in this Bible. The problem I have is that my great-grandmother, Amelia Jane Masemore, daughter of Leah Amspacher Masemore, was said to be the daughter of a Daniel Masemore, who died young. Leah A. and Amelia Jane Masemore were living with Leah's parents, George and Christena Amspacher at the time of the 1860 Census. THis suggests that Leah was in fact a widow only three years after her daughter's birth. I also have Amelia Jane's hand-drawn baptismal record, and it lists Leah and Daniel Masemore as the parents. The difficulty is that I can't find a Daniel as being born to any of Jodor Masemore's children. Having the Bible convinces me that there is a link, but I haven't been able to find it. brent.sweitzer@multek.com Do you know of a Daniel Masemore, with a date of death around 1859?
