Christian KEGEREIS, born 3 Oct 1753 in Philadelphia to Michael KEGERREIS and Agnes BAHLINGER, died 13 Apr 1789 in Lancaster Co., and is buried in the Muddy Creek Cemetery, East Cocalico Twp. He married a Magdalena in about 1772. Under several spellings and mispellings, he seems to have served in the Revolutionary War. He was christened in 1789. I would like confirming evidence that he is the father of Jacob Kagarise, b. 31 Jan 1789, d. 27 Apr 1857 in Bedford Co., buried on the family farm overlooking Shaffer Creek near Clearville. He married Barbara BURGER (b. 30 Jul 1789, d. 5 Jun 1848, bur. next to Jacob) on 5 Feb 1811 in Washington Co. I would like to know about her ancestors as well.

THANK YOU, CANDY Subject: Lafferty, Skiles, Dennison Submitter: Cherie Atkinson Clark Date: 19 Jul 1997 Looking for any information about a Lydia Lafferty who lived in Washington Co, PA. Family stories say she was an orphan. I have found her in three census records so far, and either someone was lying about her age, or they didn't know how old she was. In 1860, she was listed as 12 years old, living with a family named Dennison. In 1870, she was listed as 26 years old, and living with Jane Dennison as a domestic servant. Mrs Dennison was a widow by then. In both of these records, she lived near her future husband, James H. Skiles who was living with his parents, James P. and Martha Skiles. By 1880, James and "Liddie" Skiles were married and had 3 of their children. She was shown as being 26 by then. I'm thinking that possibly she lied here because she would have been older than her husband. I haven't found her date of death yet, but it had to be between 1893 (when her youngest daughter was born) and 1910, when her husband was listed as a widower. I am looking for possible parents of Lydia Lafferty, and wondering what became of them.

Subject: Dollison, Rhine, Yater Submitter: Brandy Alford Date: Sun Jul 6 15:25:55 1997 I am researching DOLLISON surname. I descend from a James DOLLISON who married Mary RHINE. James was born around 1817 in Pennsylvania and died 1866 in Vinton County, Ohio. Mary RHINE was born around 1826 in Guernsey County, Ohio and died in 1898 in Vinton County, Ohio. They were married February 17, 1842 in Guernsey County, Ohio. James DOLLISON was the son (I think) of Thomas DOLLISON and Susannah YATER.

Subject: Murray, Whitham Submitter: Joe Whitham Date: Sun Jul 6 16:20:31 1997 I am searching for information on MURRAYS that married WHITHAMS who lived in the Valley Grove, Ohio Co., WV area. First, Mary Jane MURRAY, born 1845, married, 28 Dec 1870, Joseph David WHITHAM, born 10 Aug 1835, and had three children: Datemus Brunel, Xavia Christina, and Kalla Frederika Bronte. Marriage and birth of the children was in Valley Grove. Second, Nicholas F. MURRAY, who married Emily F. WHITHAM, born 2 May 1841. Marriage may have been in Valley Grove, Ohio Co., WV or West Alexander, Washington Co., PA. Third, S. H. MURRAY, married, 29 Jan 1867, Hannah J. WHITHAM, born ca. 1845, Valley Grove, Ohio Co., WV. This marriage also was probably either in Valley Grove or West Alexander. Emily F. and Hannah J. WHITHAM were sisters and cousins to Joseph David WHITHAM. Nicholas F. MURRAY apparently operated a nursery in the 1880's as I have a bill of sale for fruit trees from him to Joseph David WHITHAM. Is there a similar relationship between the three MURRAYS?

He married Rebecca Marquis (daughter of James Marquis) and they had several children but the only one we have any knowledge about is their youngest. His name is John Morgan DEBRULAR born in Washington CO. PA in 1843. Not much is known about them until Rebecca, James and John Morgan moved to a small community near Toll Gate, WV sometime between 1844 & 1859. John Morgan joined the Union Army in Brooke County, VA in 1860. He was assigned to Company "D" stationed at Toll Gate guarding the railroad.

I am the Sheriff of Thomas County, Kansas. I am looking for my great grandfather William Jones. In reviewing the 1860 census of Washington County, Pa. ,we found a William Jones and a Sarah Jones who had four children. The last two being males (William I. and Wilson). Now let me give you a brief history of the Jones family of Thomas County, Ks. My fathers name is Wilson David Jones. He had two brothers and a sister. The brothers names were William Issac Jones and Sidney Marion Jones. The sister was Etta M. Jones. Their fathers name was Wilson D. Jones and his brothers name was William I. Jones. Both birthdates correspond with those of William I. and Wilson found in the 1860 Washington County census. (Buffalo Township). I know nothing of my great grandfather William Jones except that he died approximately in the year of 1878 in Washington Co. Pa. Do you have access to any death records or cemetery records of that time? Also, we believe he had two wives Sarah and Mary. Sarah being listed wife on the census and also mother of William I. and Wilson. However, on his marriage license, my grandfather Wilson, has Mary listed as his mother.

I am having problems with finding information on my ggggrandfather and ggggrandmother. This is what I have so far: Abraham BURT was born 12 Apr 1805 in Washington Co., PA, Bethiah (I believe the spelling is correct) RUSH was born 20 Oct 1806 in Washington Co., PA. They were married 6 Sep 1826 in Washington Co., PA. After this, I have hit a brick wall. My nose still hasn't straightened out! Forward from this, they moved to Ohio and started their family, then moved to Wisconsin where they finished their family. All of the generations after that have been in the IA-MN-WI area. I have exhausted the resources at the Dallas Public Library, which is considered a fine place to do research in genealogy. If someone in the area in Pennsylvania would be willing to pass on any information, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

He tried to inlist to fight in the Revolution but was six months too young. His stepfather brought him home. We do not know the stepfather's name.

Joseph went on further south into what became Kentucky and is on the 1790 tax list of Cox's Creek, Nelson County, Kentucky. He married Rebecca FRYE either in Virginia or Pennsylvania. Years later he gave a deposition for Vincent COLVIN. whom he knew in Washington County Pennsylvania. All help greatly appreciated! Subject: Henry, Little Submitter: Tess Sittig Date: Sun Jun 1 22:43:57 1997 Looking for info on John Henry , son of Robert and Ann Little-Henry. They lived in South Strabane Township. This John is mentioned in Beer's biographical Record of Washington County Pennsylvania , along with his siblings .... all deceased at the time of 'the' writing (in 1893).They attended the Seceder church of Pigeon Creek. I believe this John Henry could be my G-G grandfather whom was born in Pennsylvania , that much I do know. I have traced back to Indiana where he was married , thus far. The whole clan lived in Washington County , if this is my guy I've hit the jackpot! |
