You should be aware that FTM records come from somebody's research, so are a secondary source, not a primary source - However, in this case, Mary Bear was the second wife of Tollarus Coiner (Coyner-Koiner), son of Philip Coiner (1794-1872) and Rebecca Crist. Tollarus md. first Nancy Gongwer,daughter of Joseph and Jane. Their issue: Philip O., Rebecca J., Emma B., Mary A.F., Joseph L. Issue of Tollarus and Mary Bear: Charles A., Annie G., Minnie E. Cora F. and Kemper. They lived at Koiner's Store which was a few miles NE of Waynesboro near where Trinity Lutheran Church is located. Philip son of Casper(1764-1856) and Margaret Barger (1771-1850 - parents Jacob Barger and Elizabeth Hedrick), Casper was the son of Michael Keinadt-Koiner and Margaret Diller - they moved to VA in 1789! Yes, these are the Bargers Insurance Co. if they are still in Augusta County and I imagine they are! Norma -----Original Message----- From: Mary D.
