I'll try this name because we're trying to find more relatives to come the first Sun. in Aug. and keep our family reunion going. Small story here. I started research in the mid 1970's. My parents had not done research but both had collected information from older relatives that has been suprisingly mostly accurate. Catherine Wade, b. 1803 is my ancestor. The story on the Wade's was that there were 6 daughters and the Shaub family who had a clothing/shoe store in Lancaster were cousins. My husband's aunt had a bad fall and was in a rehab north of Lancaster, so once a month we went to Lancaster, went through cemeteries and libraries and then visited his aunt. We had a lot of fun. At the LMHS, I almost forgot to check the correspondence file and my husband reminded me just before we were ready to leave. In the file was a letter from someone who had heard the same story, 6 daughters and the Shaub store cousins. Wow! It develops that John Wade only mentioned his 2 sons in his will and we added 2 of the daughters only from the family stories with no records. If anyone has a Wade female (our names could be wrong) and is looking for a connection, you may fit in. Marge Green 1. JOHN1 WADE was born 1768, and died June 09, 1816 in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania. He married MARIA HEISCH September 22, 1789 in Trinity Luth, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. She was born August 06, 1769, and died May 24, 1869 in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania. Both buried Brackbill-Neff Cemetery, Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania Children of JOHN WADE and MARIA HEISCH are: i. HANNAH2 WADE. ii. daughter WADE. iii. JOHN WADE, b. January 08, 1792; d. February 09, 1829; m. SUSANNA WARFLE, June 03, 1819; b. March 13, 1796; d. November 18, 1839. iv. CHRISTIAN WADE, b. 1799; d. November 26, 1853; m. MARY RESSLER; b. June 07, 1806; d.

Both buried Mellinger's Mennonite Cemetery, Lancaster, Pa. vi. MARTHA WADE, b. October 08, 1805; d. June 08, 1897; m. MICHAEL GROFF. vii. BARBARA WADE, b. February 15, 1807; m.

While I'm at it I'll try a couple of others. Does anyone connect with Frölich, my maiden name. I have it traced back to Strasburg, Lancaster Co. abt. 1753. Although I still haven't found a list of the immigrant's children in 30 years research, I'm sure I connect to Jacob Froelich, who went to the Flying Camp in the Jerseys in Aug. 1776 and died Strasburg Twp. 1784. John M. Froelich, Biographical Annals of Lancaster Co., Mountville builder and banker was a cousin. Actually, although there are a few Froelich's in Lancaster Co. who are not related, most are, but I don't know how. Some have also disappeared, I know not where. This is not a common name in the US. Marge Green

I should put this on the Philly list. I'm looking for parents of Thomas Levering, b. Pa., and his wife's maiden name. Marge Green 1. THOMAS1 LEVERING was born Abt 1819 in Pennsylvania. He married LOUISA _?. She was born Abt 1827 in New Jersey. (There may be children I missed.)

Notes for IRENE and MARY LEVERING: Two censuses, one lists Mary born abt 1854 Indiana, the other lists Irene b. Abt 1854, Ohio. Mary and Irene may be the same person? v. WILLIAM LEVERING, b.

There were several names that I'm interested in that were mentioned in posts. The first I'll try is Shenk. there is probably a connection somewhere. This is mostly secondary information and may be wrong. Any additions, corrections will be very welcome. I think I got some of it from the Coffman, Kaufman Genealogy that the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Library was/is? selling. I started looking at the Conestoga Twp. tax lists at the LDS Library this evening. There were Shenks and Myers when the lists started in 1751 - not sure if they're mine though. 1. JOHN1 SHENK was born 1744. He married MARY. Children of JOHN SHENK and MARY are: i. CHRISTIAN2 SHENK, d. Abt 1759. ii. BARBARA SHENK. iii. JOHN SHENK. iv. JACOB SHENK. v. ANNA SHENK. vi. MARY SHENK. vii. HENRY SHENK, d. Abt 1762. 2. viii. MICHAEL SHENK, b. Aft. 1720; d. 1802, Lancaster Twp., Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania. Generation No. 2 2. MICHAEL2 SHENK (JOHN1) was born Aft. 1720, and died 1802 in Lancaster Twp., Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania. He married BARBARA KAUFFMAN, daughter of ANDREW KAUFFMAN and ELIZABETH KNEISSLE. Children of MICHAEL SHENK and BARBARA KAUFFMAN are: i. MICHAEL3 SHENK. ii. HENRY SHENK. iii. JACOB SHENK. iv. ANNA SHENK. v. MARY SHENK. vi. ELIZABETH SHENK. vii. CHRISTIAN SHENK. viii. BARBARA SHENK. ix. JOHN SHENK, b. 1753. 3. x. ANDREW SHENK, b. 1762; d. 1826. Generation No. 3 3. ANDREW3 SHENK (MICHAEL2, JOHN1) was born 1762, and died 1826. He married MARY BOSSLER, daughter of JOHN BOSSLER. Children of ANDREW SHENK and MARY BOSSLER are: i. BARBARA4 SHENK. ii. JOHN (REV.) SHENK, b. 1789; d. 1857, had 11 children. iii. MICHAEL SHENK, b. 1792; d. 1869. 4. iv. MARY B. SHENK, b. October 12, 1799; d. March 21, 1879, Lancaster Co. Pennsylvania. Generation No. 4 4. MARY B.4 SHENK (ANDREW3, MICHAEL2, JOHN1) was born October 12, 1799, and died March 21, 1879 in Lancaster Co. Pennsylvania. She married SOCRATES MYERS 1815 in Conestoga Twp., Lancaster Co, Pennsylvania, son of MICHAEL MYERS and MARY. He was born June 09, 1791 in Conestoga Twp., Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania, and died June 08, 1836 in Lancaster Twp., Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania. (I need the rest of their children. You would think I'd be able to find a name like Socrates as a parent!) Child of MARY SHENK and SOCRATES MYERS is: i. MARTHA5 MYERS, b. June 16, 1818; d. November 15, 1884; m. JOHN PARMER; b. January 17, 1817; d. December 11, 1899. Both buried Mellinger's Mennonite Cemetery, Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania

Am looking for information on Susanna Schweitzer (parents, siblings, ancestors) born 1790, died 1870, buried St.John's Church, Leck Kill, PA. She married Abraham Schneider and they lived Greenbriar vicinity, Northumberland Co., PA. They had eleven children.

Looking for information on KEHLER (Koehler, Kahler,Kaler,Koller,etc.) and FISCHER. Henry Kehler (or Heinrich Koehler) and Elizabeth Fischer were married at Tulpehocken, Berks Co., by Rev. Caspar Stoever on 25 Dec 1763. They lived in Bethel Twp. until 1768 when they moved to Upper Mahanoy Twp, Northumberland Co. He was born in 1742. He died 1795 in Northumberland Co. and is probably buried at Himmel's Church, Rebuck, PA without a tombstone. Where were they born and who were their parents? They had 16 children: Catharina b 1765 Leonhart b 1767 Henry b 1769 Peter b 1771 Mary b 1773 Johann Georg b 1775 Johannes Phillip b 1776 Margaret Eliz. b 1778 Anton b 1779 Friedrich b 1783 Susanna b 1785 Catharina b 1786 Johann Jacob b 1788 Maria Juliana b 1790 Johann Jacob b 1792 Magdalena b 1793

If Henry came from the Pennsylvania Dutch area, it is certain that his original name was Heinrich, as Henry is an english name. But upon landing in America when he told the purser or immigration official his name, that person wrote down "Henry" being the the nearest to Heinrich.

Hi everyone - I just joined the list and I need some help. Looking for info on a John Werts or Wirts who was born in PA around the 1820's. According to the 1850 Indiana census John's wife Mary was from Ohio and they settled in Indiana in the 1840's. John had 2 sons & 4 daughters. The boys names were Samuel & Solomon. This has been a major roadblock for myself and another cousin doing research. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks Wendy Wirts-Thomas

If any of you are interested in more information about Heinrich Frey who came to Philadelphia, PA in 1685 on the Francis and Dorthea as an indentured servant of Gerhard Hendrichs, and married Anna Catherine Levering in 1692. There are records and documents to prove these two dates. I belong to the Heinrich Frey Family Association (HFFA), and there are a lot of members who are much more knowledgeable than I am. I descend from his son Benjamin >Abraham >Elizabeth who married Henry Ewalt (also PA Dutch). If any one is interested in information about HFFA please contact me. Lynn Vitasek lynnv2@ont.com

Have been told Martin HENRY came from York, (county?) PA. Would have been in 1800's. Could he have been Pennsylvania-Dutch? Is Henry a dutch name? Or his wife's maiden name Wilhelm? Martin moved on to Ohio. Looking for information of his parents name.

TO: Shirley Murray FROM: William E. Fox, Jr. "Bill" -- Silver Spring MD DATE: May 16, 2001 Dear Shirley, Unfortunately, all of our genealogy records are boxed for storage as we are moving to Australia for a few years. My FUCHS ancestors (name later changed to FOX) settled in central Pennsylvania (around Harrisburg and Linglestown) in the late 1700's. There are John's in my line and one Abraham as I remember. Do you think that your people could have come from this area originally before migrating to Kentucky. Interestingly, one of our daughters and her family recently moved to Louisville. Another connection to Louisville is that I attended the U. of Louisville in the middle 1950's. I will await your reply before trying to dig out any more info. Isn't this an exciting family activity. It really helps you to connect with our ancestors. Best regards, Bill Fox Cricket1300@aol.com wrote: > > Abraham Fox rec'd 200 acres in Kentucky for his service with the Cumberland > Rangers of PA.

Abraham Fox rec'd 200 acres in Kentucky for his service with the Cumberland Rangers of PA. By his military papers he was once a resident of Greenwood Township. I researched Comberland Co tax lists for 1771-1775 (file #0021088) Cumberland tax lists for 1776, 1779-1780 (film #0021089) Cumberland Land and Prop. in Grantor-Grantee Indexes 1750-1950 (Files #0021039 and 0021039) Probate records of 1750-1937 (Film #0021075). No Abraham Fox, however, considerable confusion has been noted in the name which has been at times written or interpreted as Fuchs (the German spelling), Foos, Fose, Foas, Foss, and Ford. Part of the confusion was the illiteracy of the person giving their name and the inability of the recorder to correctly spell or legibly write what they believed they heard. Even when written correctly the handwriting of the ear has led to present day transcription errors. The Pennsylvania, Cumberland County tax lists include such names as Fouts, Foos, Fore, Folk, Fopes, Fose, Foas, Floas, Fin, Frey and Fry, any of which could have been Fox, although some of the foregoing are more likely than others. I might mention that the name Fox has even been read as Ford due to the handwriting style. Abraham Fox appeared in the KY Tax roll in 1799. Always near him was John Fox who by his death record was born in Philadelphia. John Fox was appointed caretaker of Abraham before his death. THe men are believed to be closely related, either father and son or brothers. Descendents in Kentucky claim two brothers by the name Fox came to the area of present day Russell County. The brothers spoke only German. One brother stayed, the other moved west. I found nothing to support the claim or German ancestry. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Shirley Murray

Keith I see you have HUFFs in PA. Do you have any from Maidencreek in Berks Co? I am looking for spouse of Mary KERST who married a HUFF and lived in Maidencreek when her brother, Franz KERST's will was made in 1765. I have been unable to find this family in that area then. Mary would have been born in 1730's. Thanks Diana in Alabama, A RITTER, KERST, GELBACH, MOHR, BERTOLET, RITTER descendant
