Re: George Washington and Margaret Snyder

wandagreathouse — 2009-11-16 13:35:09Z

I might not have all the answers, but I can direct you in a good direction.

Samuel K. Freemyer married Martha Snyder, he born 10 Sep 1874 Sheridan, Worth, Mo. and died 10 July 1952 Wesaverville, California.
She worn 3 Jul 1892 Greeley, coloradao, she died 9 June 1919 Seattle, Washington.

Samuel K. Freemyer son of Charles Freemyer and Jane Mitchell, Charles Freemyer son of George A. Freemyer and Martha Shreeves, George A Freemyer son of David Wesley freemyer Sr. and Catherine Loucks.

The Freemyer family lived at Cobleskill, Albany County, NY in the Revolution. Cobleskill was burnt, they moved to Montgomery County, NY then David went with a church as missionaries to the Tories abround 1808. He moved to Washington County, Ohio in 1810. When Monroe County, Ohio was formed, he found himself over the line and in Monroe County. He later moved back over the line into Washinton County. (Revolution pension papers) and personal research.

From there George A. Freemyer and family moved to Jay County, Indiana, then on to Worth County, Missouri.

My line David Wesley Freemyer Jr. went from Washington, County Ohio to KNox County, Missouri. I have a picture of his wife Dorothy Sill, David died in or soon after the Civil War battle of Jenkins Ferry, Arkansas.

Flora Myrle Freemyer dau of Joseph L. Freemyer and Mary Elder, he son of George A. Freemyer and Martha Shreeves. Flora Myrtle married Charles or James T. Gagle. She may have had a second marriage.
I only have one child listed for Samuel K. Freemyer and Martha Snyder.
1. George Henry Fremyer born 1 JUne 1919 Seattle, Wa.
he married Christeen Willie Peavy 0 Nov 19444.

I have much data on the Freemyer line. Be glad to share with you.

Help me with Emma Lanning sister of Sarah Johnson Hahn Jay Co

6katzlers — 2009-10-25 16:37:16Z

In my great grandmothers obit Sarah A Hahn in the Anderson Daily Bulletin, Aug 29, 1959 it stated that she had a sister Mrs. Emma Lanning from Portland.

Sarah was born Sarah Johnson her parents were Griffin Johnson and Hanah Knapp.

I would like to learn more of Emma Lanning.

If I can find info about Emma Lanning maybe I will find info about my Johnson line from Jay Co.

Thanks

These three men were in the civil war together. Jasper lived in Jay County, Indiana. Mr. Shattow probably did too. Mr. Mott probably lived in Mercer County, Ohio. I have a picture of these three men taken in their later years. Would like to hear from some of their descendents. I am the descendent of Jasper Franklin.

Re: Christopher Spillman

kentgenemail — 2009-10-14 00:50:02Z

It seems that the Catharine Myers I am looking for is not the one who married John Spillman. My Catharine Myers is living in Green Township, Randolph County, Indiana in the 1910 and 1920 census. So, it can't be the same as your "Catharine Elizabeth" Myers who is living in Piqua, Ohio.

Thanks for the information.

WHITE Lydia 1816 1909 Bearcreek Jay Limberlost IN

Do you know if this is the mother of George White who married Sarah Jane (Sutton) Jefferies?

A Lydia and Alexander White had a son George White. In 1870 census Sarah Janes and her first husband Jonathan Sutton were living in New Croydon Walbash twp Jay county. In the same census a Lydia, Alexander and son George White are living in Westchester Bear Creek twp Jay county about 7 miles from New Croydon.

If so I have information on the Jeffries, Sutton, and Barlet families. Sophia, Sarah Jane Sutton's daughter married Jacob Barlett.

I just ran across your post while researching this family. William and Margaret are direct ancestors of mine, through Hannah C. I know that William and Margaret are buried in Little Salamonia Cemetery near Portland, Indiana. I've been there, seen the tombstones, have the pictures. I have Margaret's maiden name as Stohl, but do not know where I got that - no solid source. Please email me at jam1941@gmail.com if you would like to compare notes on this family.

Dawson/Lockwood

grannyz628 — 2009-07-26 20:04:09Z

Looking for any information on a Louisa J. (Lockwood) Dawson born about 1837 in Ohio to Alonzo & Eliza (Stanley) Lockwood and married a George W. Dawson. I believe she is buried at Hillside Cemetery and was the mother of at least 1 daughter, Florence Emma.

Karen,

Thanks for the info. I have almost all of those details, that's why I tried to be specific about the info I am looking for regarding Francis Joseph and Robert W. Hart. Robert is a real wild card. I was hoping that perhaps you had some knowledge or means of researching cemeteries in Michigan City since Francis is reportedly buried there. Robert is buried with his parents in the IOOF cemetery in Dunkirk, but there is no marker or other burial info.

Working on the Levi Griffee line through son David (1879-1955). What information do you have on Levi? Have found the family in various county/states census records from 1860 onward. Why did they move around so much? Would love to compare notes.

Re: Joseph M. Hart, Dunkirk, IN and Dallas, TX

kmheart — 2009-07-13 15:03:58Z

Karen,

In Sept. '07 you provided me with some info on one of my great uncles, Joseph M. Hart, b: 9/9/1906 in Jay Co., IN. Thought you might like an update of my continued research.
He died when I was 4. I had met his wife, Virginia, in Dallas in the 1980's while my parents were still living there, but I wasn't interested in genealogy at that point and asked no family related questions. I now have a copy of Joseph's Marion Co., IN death certificate. From that, I learned he is buried in Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis. From cemetery records I was able to locate his gravesite, I learned that his wife was also buried at Crown Hill, but not next to Joseph. It appears her brother was buried in the 2nd space in the plot that Virginia had purchased in 1954. Further research has enable me to develop a family line for Virginia for which I previously did not have any information. Cemetery records provided me with the owner of Virginia's grave site. This info reminded me of one of Virginia's relatives that I have previously met, but forgotten about and had no contact info. I have attempted to contact this person living in Indianapolis to see what information she can share with me regarding Joseph, Virginia and any of my other realtives of that era. The info you provided me was conssitent with many of the other details I have found and helped me find and/or verify new info. Thanks again for your assistance.

If you're interested I am still trying to obtain and/or verify info regarding 2 of Joseph's brothers, Francis Joseph Hart, b: 9/16/1899 in Jay Co., died 2/28/1964 in Bedford, VA and Robert W. Hart, b: 9/7/1908 in Jay Co., died 9/18/1967 in Indianapolis. I have copies of both of their death certificates, but these have presented new and/or unanswered questions. I can provide more specifics, if you're interested.
