The only thing I have found out about William Axe is that on his enlistment papers for the Civil War he was listed as living in Lancaster. He married a woman by the name of Sadie. I thought they had left Lancaster County buy heard that it was not them who left but their daughter. They had the one child they named IdaK or Ida Kathryn and she is the one who left Lancaster County and went to Montana with her husband John Warner. She had 4 children, two of them were born in Montana, Sybil and William Warner and then she came back to Lancaster County. She left her husband(John Warner) and went to work for a family by the name of Pechin. It is said that she lived as a common law wife to Lorenzo Pechin, the wealthy Pechins at that time were very powerful both with political influence as well as the monetary. She had two children with Lorenzo Pechin, one girl named Mary Emily Pechin(my grandmother) and a boy named after the father, Lorenzo Pechin and this is where it all ends. I know from here on but was trying to find out more about the early William Axe my great great great grandfather and grandmother Sadie. Where did they come from.

I know of a William Axe who was injured during the civil war. He has relatives living in York Pa.. If it is the same Axe his finger or fingers were shot off. He was the brother to my Great Grandfather. His parents would be Peter Axe and Mary Leah Smith. This where I am stuck. I hope I helped you.
