Here are some bits of info from the September 1997 newsletter of the South Central Pennsylvania Genealogical Society that I thought may be of interest to the group: Dr. Charles L. Eater, Jr. researched the STONEBRAKER family for 15 years. When he died 14 APril 1995, he had nearly completed a book on the family. After Dr. Eater's death, Charles William "Bill" Morgan prepared the manuscript for printing and added a surname index with 3,453 names. The result "The Stonbrakers in America", is a soft cover volume of 291 pages. It traces the descendants of the four known Stonebraker immigrants: Christian Stonebraker (51 pages), Johann Dietrich Steinbrecher (80 pages), Gerhart Steinbrecher (2 pages), and Johann Valentin Steinbrecher (112 pages). The price of the book is $30. THere is an additional charge of $2.50 for packaging and mailing.

Bolin has prepared a new publication for the Adams County Historical Society entitled "1790 Federal Census: Adams County, Pennsylvania - A Study". He used available 1789 and 1792 York County tax lists, the 1908 U. S. government publication of the heads of families in Pennsylvania in 1790, and microfilmed copies of the census schedules. With the help of these resources, Larry was able to determine the township in which most, but not all, of the people lumped together in the two lists actually lived. In the process Larry found some errors in the published transcripts of the 1790 census, based on his reading of the microfilmed versions. The publication is available from the Adams County Historical Society (Box 4325, Gettysburg, PA 17325) for $8.75 by mail. -------- Vanessa R.
