Hi John, I orginally am from Piedmont. Left Piedmont in the early 70's. My family came from Westernport and Piedmont so that area has a great interest to me. I am still somewhat local to Piedmont. I am about 1/2 hour away. My friend and I are going to the WVU Library which has the Piedmont Herald on Microfilm asap so if there is anything I can help you with, I'd be glad to.

Hi. I'm originally from the Piedmont area. I have not been very active on this list since I signed up for it though. You could probably call the Herald office and get the back issues from them. The person that was in charge of it is Marg and Bill Hood. If I can be of any assistance with anything in the Piedmont area let me know. I know live in the Martinsburg, WV area but still have strong family ties to the Piedmont area. Sincerely, Sarah Kithcart

Hi Patti - I have written at times regarding this cemetery, but this is the first time I've seen anything posted on it. I visited the cemetery several times in the last ten years. Many of the Allens are relatives. My first question is (and was) is there anyone who is caretaker at this cemetery and do you know if there is anyone to contact who would be able and willing to make repairs to some of the headstones for a price. I noticed last summer when I was there that there were repairs made to at least one headstone in the back left of the cemetery. It always appears that the church is not used anymore - do you know if this is true? I have some information on some of these individuals. I don't know how much information you want on them, but for example: Thomas Allen (I have a rubbing from his headstone) who was born in Ireland and came to this country at about age 6 years died June 30, 1853 (as his headstone states "about 75 years old"). He had two brothers that I don't have information on other than that one settled in Missouri and one in Illinois eventually. Thomas was married to Ruhama (nee McBride) Allen whose headstone is also broken and next to his. They had ten children: James, Robert, Arthur, Thomas, John, Ruhamy, Rhoda, Zelpha, Betty, Jane. Thomas Allen's will is recorded Book 17 page 105 at the Keyser Courthouse. They lived along Patterson's Creek on what is now Horseshoe Run Road. I have information on others, but as I said, I don't know how much of it you might be interested in. I was so happy to see that someone is interested in this beautiful old cemetery. Thanks, Marylou Nordberg (nee Allen)

Lonny, Thanks for that information. -----Original Message----- From: Lonny J.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Harden, Hardin, Harding Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xEC.2ACI/79.1 Message Board Post: Dear Linda, My Harden ancestors were from Allegany Co., MD and Somerset Co., PA and were there in the 1700s and 1800s. Did you know that a Harden.in.ing DNA Project has been started? DNA testing can help us to find out which men with the HARDEN/HARDIN/HARDING surnames are actually related and share a common ancestry. The URL for the webpage that show's the Harden.in.ing DNA Project's results is: http://home.carolina.rr.com/whardin/hhh.htm My cousin, James Robert Harden, has already ordered his DNA test and his results are back from the lab. If you click on the above website and then click on his ancestry line, it will take you to his paternal HARDEN pedigree chart. He is the only Somerset County, PA HARDEN descendant to join the project so far. Y-Chromosome DNA is passed from father to son down through the generations just as surnames are passed from father to son. Only men inherit the Y-chromosome, therefore only men can be participants in a Y-chromosome DNA Family Reconstruction Project. The Y-Chromosome DNA samples for the Harden.in.ing DNA project can only be provided by HARDEN, HARDIN or HARDING males who have the HARDEN/HARDIN/HARDING Surnames. Do you are a living male descendant of your HARDEN line who HAS the HARDEN surname? If you have a father, uncle, brother, nephew or male cousin with the HARDEN surname , he can participate in the Harden.in.ing DNA project. His participation would be very valuable, because we can find out for sure if your Harden line and mine share a common Harden ancestor from PA and MD. The Family Tree DNA Company (FT-DNA) <http://www.familytreedna.com/> is the company that is analyzing the Y-Chromosome DNA samples of many different surname DNA Projects. FT-DNA is the company that is conducting the Harden.in.ing DNA project also. FTDNA is located in Houston, Texas in the United States. The method of obtaining the DNA cells is simple and painless and doesn't involve any drawing of blood . The type of DNA that is analyzed for genealogical purposes doesn't provide any data about medical conditions. Family Tree DNA sends a small tube with Q-tip-like swabs to each participant. All that needs to be done is to swab the inside of the cheek to collect some cells, replace the swabs in the tube and mail it back to Family Tree DNA. In about 9 weeks the company informs the participants about the results and lets them know if their score matches anyone else in the Family Tree DNA database. Men that have matching DNA scores are notified by Family Tree DNA of the names and e-mail addresses of each man who is a match. The men then share their genealogical research with each other and work together to learn more about how they are related to each other and try to discover who their common paternal ancestor was. The Family Tree DNA Company (FTDNA) is offering at reduced prices three different Y-chromosome DNA paternal ancestry tests to registered family groups like the Harden.in.ing group: (1) the 12 marker test for $99 (US dollars) (2) the 25 Marker test for $169 (US dollars) (3) the 37 Marker test for $219 (US dollars) It is necessary to add $2 shipping cost. The advantage of the 37 and 25 marker tests is that testing more markers helps to narrow down how recently two or more Harden/Hardin/Harding men share a common ancestor. If they would match on all 37 or 25 markers, then they have stronger proof that they share an ancestor within a more recent time period and it would be easier to determine where and when their mutual ancestor lived. Your rmale Harden relative can use the link below to submit his name, mailing address,e-mail address, etc. to order a DNA sample kit to be mailed to him. http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=B96714&special=True There is a drop-down menu at the above website and you can click on which of the three tests you want to order. You will need to make a choice of ordering the 12 marker test which costs $99 plus $2.00 shipping in the U.S., the 25 marker test which costs $169 plus $2.00 shipping in the U.S., or the 37 marker test which costs $229 plus $2.00 shipping in the U.S. You can also choose whether you want an invoice to be mailed to you with the DNA sample kit or if you want to pay for it with a credit card. Terry D. Parks is the Harden.in.ing DNA Group Project Administrator paroman@flash.net I look forward to hearing from you and answering questions you may have about this new method of combining Science and Genealogy. It is effective in helping men with the same surname find out if they are actually related and share a common ancestry. Best wishes, Mary Yonan yonan@fgi.net

I turned the outline around so Ellen Rogers' parents would show up. I don't have a source noted for them, but am quite sure of it.

Well Rosemary, you may not know you have a connection to the Fleeks, but see below. Smile. I am presuming you are of Rogers descent? Ellen Rogers married Susan Fleek's brother Jackson.
