Anyone heard about ancestors claiming mineral rights in greene Co.

mybonney — 2013-05-09 03:23:33Z

My ancestor John DeVaul born in 1811 Greene Co Pa owned 360 acres in Greene Co. I hear that newspaper notices came out looking for ancestors to claim the land for mineral rights for their family. If so, have you read about one for a DuVall or DeVaul. Thanks Bonnie

Hello,
I am interested in the Cumpston cemetery. Do you know if anyone has copied the gravestones? Are there any gravestones present in the cemetery. I would love to visit it sometime this summer if you don't mind.
Thanks for your help.

Thank you, Jane, for your help with John Finnegan. I'm not at all sure why I posted that the way I did. Must've been a serious "senior moment". that information was helpful, though, and i appreciate it. I did that work several years ago for a friend, and I'll add the information to his database.

Re: BUNGARD

jemwalsh — 2013-04-19 13:16:30Z

It is always helpful to include dates and place names when you make such an inquiry! And, since you did not mention Bungards in your query, I wondered why you chose to tag onto that thread. Perhaps you thought you were solely addressing the Bungard researcher, and do not know that messages posted to this Board go out to everyone subscribed to the Greene county RootsWeb list, too.

After a bit of searching, I found a widowed John Finnegan in the 1900 Census of Aleppo, Greene and on the same page there is the family of Isaac and Hester Bungard. John Finnegan was reported as age 60 born Aug 1839 in Ireland, and immigrated to the U.S. in 1860. His son Daniel is listed as age 23, born June 1876. Daniel's Mother's place of birth is listed as PA. Daniel has been married for less than a year to Floetta age 26 b. Nov 1873 who was born in PA as were her parents. John's daughter Sadie is 17 b. April 1883. Son James is 15 b. May 1885. Daughter Blanche C. is 13 b. April 1887.

From that information about John's location, place of birth, and age, it was possible to locate him in the 1880 Census, too, in Aleppo, Greene. He is listed as 44, and his wife, Eliza, as 31. Their children are: Mary 11, Owen 9, Ana 8, John 6, Daniel 4, Peter 4, Burnard 2, and Marthy and Margaret both six months, with the added notation of Dec., meaning they were twins born in Dec 1879.

A person named "RSchmidle" has posted to Ancestry.com a photo of the gravestone for John Finnegan 1837-1917 and Eliza Younkin 1847-1891. The gravestone indicates that John served in Co. A 18th PA Vol. Cavalry, likely in the Civil War.

I'm not sure if you have this information by now, but John Gore died on 22 June 1935 in Uniontown, Fayette County, PA.

According to his obituary and funeral announcement, he's buried at "Park Place" cemetery (Fayette County).

Re: John S. Thistlewaite

psmoon28 — 2013-03-26 03:55:17Z

The spelling is different, but perhaps the one you are requesting information on is the same.
My grandfather was John Stockton Thistlethwaite. He lived in Greene County (south of Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania. I believe he was born August 2, 1895. H was a school teacher and farmer. He had two sons, William and John. There also were 2 infants that died at birth or shortly thereafter. My father was John David Thistlethwaite. He has three children. His brother is survived by seven children. Hope this helps.

Re: Greene Co PA Fry families

jackie_kline5011 — 2013-03-21 01:51:37Z

The Albert B.Frye that you reference was my great grandfather. There is a reference in the 1920 census for Albert"Brice" Frye.It includes his son Edward with his wife Hazel and three daughters. The oldest daughter (Ila) was my mom. Albert was actually born in Iowa. There is a huge family tree for the Allum family out of Iowa. Ironically it ended with Albert Brice Frye. I hope this info is helpful. BTW Edward and Hazel had 8 children, and I'm from a family of 7...so the line continues.

Hi I was wondering if maybe we are part of the same line of sharps since my line was in Pennsylvania in the late 1800s, although I have reached a dead end. I have only been able to trace my family back to my great great great grandfather George Oscar sharp who was married to clara Catherine rhoades and later to jane hull. I was wondering if you had any of these people in your family tree and if so if you could possibly help me..

Fairy Jane Turner and Isaac Stidger Lohr

muller1938 — 2013-03-07 04:23:57Z

Who were the parents of Isaac Stidger LOHR (1912-1987), the husband of Fairy Jane TURNER (1912-2007)? Let me suggest a possibility:

Isaac Stidger Lohr was the son of Isaac Stidger Lohr (1888-1913) and Iona WELLING (1889-1970), thus he is actually Isaac Stidger Lohr, Jr.

Iona Welling was the daughter of William Welling and Hannah WHIPKEY. She may have had three husbands? First was someone with the GRANDON surname. With this unknown Grandon, she had a son Clarence S. Grandon in 1909. Then she had a relationship (marriage?) with Isaac Stidger Lohr and had a second child, Isaac Stidger , Jr. in 1912. The senior Isaac Stidger Lohr died in 1913 and Iona married a William Cook (1881-1970).

I have found Iona Welling and William Cook in the 1920 and 1930 census along with Clarence S. and a second son with various names which may be Isaac Stidger, Jr. I could not find Iona Welling and her son Clarence S. Grandon in the 1910 census.

Sarah Ann Patterson was born Oct. 25, 1838. John Randolph was born April 16, 1837. Don't believe he fought in the Civil War. He went to Waynesburg College & taught for several years before joining Sarah & her husband in Mercer Co. IL. Don't know of any siblings who went to WV.
Sarah's husband was Silas Phillips, also of Greene Co. PA. Shortly after Silas & Sarah married, they moved to IL. Don't know if there were Phillips brothers-in-law. This info is from Our Kith & Kin by Lorena Burke. It was published in the mid-1950s.

Samuel Mack Lowery and Emma Turner

muller1938 — 2013-03-01 05:28:43Z

Samuel Mack Lowery/Lowry (1849--??) was the son of James Lowery and Elizabeth Gunn. He married Emma Turner in 1870. Samuel and Emma apparently had two chilren: George (1872--) and Willis/Wilbur (1882). I can track Samuel from the 1850 census until 1910 (usually in Marshall Co., WV, but occasionaly in Greene Co., PA) and then …....

Emma Turne can be found in the census from 1870 thru 1920 (usually in Marsahll Co., WV, but sometimes in Greene Co., PA). But then? …....

QUESTIONS: When did Samuel Mack Lowery die? Where is he buried?

Where is Emma Turner die? Where is she buried?

For what it is worth, Emma Turner is the sister of Norman Turner. Norman Turner is the husband of Jennie Lowery, the sister of Samuel Mack Lowery.

Anything else would be appreciated. Esp. pictures.

Why do you think this Joel married Susan for his second wife? I have his DOB as 1823. He could more likely be son of Warner Vernon and Elizabeth Ullom who had a son named Joel who died in the Civil War. Susan's husband Joel did die on 15 Dec 1864. Help me see what you see.

Looking for verification of Jacob Parkinson's parents. Jacob shows up in 1850 Donegal Washington County, Pa. I believe his daughter, Lucinda, is my direct line (If she married Thomas Elliott around 1852???)

Does anyone have data that tracks Lucinda after the 1850 census and tracks her father, Jacob, prior to 1850 capturing who Jacob's parents are?

I believe there is a Jefferson County, Ohio connection also. Any help much appreciated.

For all of you folks who are interested in the location of John Long's land in Washington (later Greene) Co., PA, here's a link that will take you to a survey map showing what I'm sure must be the unsurveyed tract of John Long Sr. It would be in Monongahela Twp. on Big Whiteley Creek. This survey also shows the unsurveyed/unpatented tract of Thomas Flowers.
