My great,great, great grandparents were; John Harding b. 1815 Ireland married Mary A. Doherty b. 1822 Ireland probably in Saint John, New Brunswick where they owned property and a business. They had 5 children Katherine, Mary, b. 1849, Elizabeth, william, Mathew. Mary married William John SHANNON in 1865 probably in Saint John (but family oral history says they eloped). They had 10 children eldest Mary was born in Saint John and the others in Ireland. Of the SHANNON family there descendants will be scattered between USA, CANADA, IRELAND, SCOTLAND AND ENGLAND. Any descendants of Hardings, Shannons, who think they may be related please contact for exchange of information. Anyone from Saint John, New Brunswick requiring information from Scottish records in exchange for information from records in Saint John please contact Connie.

Dear fellow Shannon researchers... Just joined this list: researching grandmother & gr.grandparents. A vital statistics record indicates MARY ANN SHANNON was born 7/4/1879 in Pittsburgh, Pa. Her father was BATHERMUS SHANNON from Pa. I suspect BATHERMUS may be misspelled. He was probably born mid 1850's. Does anyone have any link to these names?

I am looking for info on Fanny Elizabeth Phillips who married Jacob Benjamin Lichtenthaler. They had the following children Leta married James Case Don Emerson Laura who married a man with the last name Curry Leona Howard I believe Fanny Elizabeth Phillips was born in Cass county, Missouri to Andrew Jackson Phillips and Frances Elizabeth York, but have yet to prove it. 1880 Cass county, census lists the following Andrew Phillips age 48 b NC Fannie age 40 wife b Mo James WM age 22 son, b Mo Finis Y. age 19 son b Mo James M. age 15 son b Mo James Albert age son13 son b Mo Rosadine, age 12 daughter b Mo Fanny E. age 10 daughter b Mo I am not sure all the names above are correct because according to the Cass and Bates County, Mo History book the children of Andrew Phillps and Fannie are Rhoda who married Alfred Bruce Finess E. Laura E. wife of William Lofland Andrew M. James Albert Bora D. Fannie E. an infant Now for the Bradley's Jacob Benjamin's Litchenthaler (Lichtenthaler) obit states he was the son of J. W. and Katherine (Bradley) Litchenthaler born in Quincy, Ill on 19 Aug 1866 and moved to Missouri in early childhood. I found a marriage for Catherine Bradley and John W. Lickentilor (could be mispelled??) 31 Dec 1857 in Pike County, Ill. Also according to the obit Jacob Litchenthaler had three sisters Mrs. Katherine Kaise/Raise of Billings, Mont., Mrs. Cora Hell of Portland , OR, and Mrs. Claud Stephens of Moberly, Mo. He lived in the Moberly, Cass county, and Lexington areas of Missouri. Any info on these people?

Hello, Will have to be unsubcribing, but taking one last chance that someone knows about Thomas Shannon and Mary. They made a patent for land on bottom of South Mountain in 1740 and finally got 300 acres in 1760's. Their last 3 children were Samuel, Joseph and Mary. In the will of Thomas Shannon in 1797, York Co. Pennsylvania,. he gave son, Joseph land and house and did same for Mary Shannon and her husband, Henry Cowley. The Cowley or Cooleys had children, John, Joseph, James, Mary, Sarah and Susanna. Would anyone know how to find documentation of their births in Pa between the dates of 1780 and 1800. If, please contact me, Bobbie at [email protected] Thanks so much we are desperate for some help. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

from Ancestry's free database: A shoemaker in the central Ohio community of Lancaster, Samuel McNeil left his business in January 1849 seeking his fortune in the gold fields of California. He returned home the next year, with his accumulated gold. This database was published in 1850 and recounts his travels throughout 1849. He describes the shipwreck that forced McNeil and his compatriots to travel overland from Texas to Mazatlan, where they obtained passage to San Francisco. Also included are his descriptions of prospecting on the North Fork of the American River, Bear River, and Weaver's Creek. For researchers attempting to better understand the life of a typical California prospector, this can be a useful source of information. McNeil's travels in 1849, to, through and from the gold regions, in California. Mc'NEILS TRAVELS page 31 In walking through the town I saw people from all quarters of the globe, showing that San Francisco had already become the landing of the world, viz:--Americans, Englishmen, Hibernians, Scotch folks, Chinese, Sandwich Islanders, South Americans, New Granadians, Mexicans, Polanders, Sonorians. I saw anchored in the harbor about five hundred vessels belonging to different nations, about one hundred at Vernicia, and two hundred at Sacramento City, making in all 800 vessels, the sailors had all ran off to the mines, averaging at that time but one man to a vessel to take care of them. Some of the vessels were rotting, and I suppose the majority of them would be destroyed by the N.W. hurricanes. I saw Col. Fremont, Col. Weller, and Ex-Governor SHANNON there. I conversed with them about the gold and state of the country, as to its soil and political interests. I saw about three hundred gamblers in the city, acting like land sharks, entrapping the foolish gudgeons who were swimming about their establishments. This state of society reminded me of two kinds of ducks I saw at the east, and which I have seen swimming together. One of them is a small duck, having a diving disposition. The other is large and indolent, but always fat, and avoids the trouble of diving. When the small one dives to the bottom, and brings up the luscious grass, the large duck artfully swims to it, and, grasping the grass, eats it at leisure. I compared the gambler to the large duck and the honest hard-working miner to the little one, the gambler being always fat in the pocket, and the miner proportionally poor in the same. This would also apply to many in the United States.

from Ancestry's free database: Missouri National Guard on the Mexican Border, 1916 In accordance with President Wilson's order to place United States troops along the Mexican border, Missouri sent elements from the National Guard to patrol the line. This database contains a listing of those men who served along the border in 1915 and 1916. It lists the names of over 5500 men, and provides the serviceman's rank, unit information, and when they were organized. For researchers of early twentieth century Missouri ancestors, this can be a helpful source of information. Copies of individual records may be obtained by contacting Debra Graden, P.O.
