I am searching for any info on my 4GG Robert CEASE aka SEASE. He was born in PA about 1803, possibly Adams County. It was in Adams County that he married Elizabeth WORKMAN in 1828 and they were still living there in 1840. Sometime after 1840, he moved to Richland County, OH where he died in 1884. Any information on him or this family would be appreciated. Thanks!

IN RESPONCE TO POST BY KATHY CARDOZA

HI KATHY,

MY NAME IS PATTY, WHILE SURFING THE NET I CAME ACROSS YOUR POST ON THE NAME CEASE, IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY UNCOMMON NAME, I HAVE NEVER RUN INTO ANYONE WITH THAT NAME BESIDES MY TWO MALE COUSINS. I BELIEVE THEY ARE IN THERE FORTYS OR FIFTYS NOW AND I DON'T BELIVE THEY HAD ANY BOYS TO CARRY ON THE NAME CEASE. ONE OF THEM LIVES IN THE ORIENT SOMEWHERE AND HAS DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THE NAME CEASE BACK TO THE 1700'S. HE IS MY MOTHERS BROTHERS SON.
IF, MOST LIKELY, THEY ARE THE SAME CEASE FAMILY, I WILL GIVE YOU THE INFO I KNOW. MY MOTHER, VIRGINIA VENETTA CEASE, WAS BORN MAY 28, 1918 @ 10:35 PM, IN NANTICOKE, PA., TO HER FATHER JACOB CEASE SR. AND MOTHER ANNA (FRIED) CEASE. MY MOTHER WILL BE 81 YEARS OLD THIS MONTH AND IS ALIVE AND WELL IN NJ, LIVING WITH MY YOUNGEST SISTER KATHY. HER SHORT TERM MEMORY IS FAILING BUT SHE STILL REMEMBERS ALOT IN THE PAST AND COULD BE OF SOME HELP, ESPEICALLY IN PUTTING YOU IN CONTACT WITH MY COUSIN. MY SISTER, KATHY, IS HAVING HER FIRST BABY IN SEPT. AND IS ALSO INTERESTED IN THE FAMILY HISTORY, MAYBE YOU COULD WORK TOGETHER.
MY MOTHER WAS THE LAST OF 8 CHILDREN BY THEM AND THE ONLY ONE STILL LIVING. THERE FIRST BORN WAS A BOY NAMED, JOHN HENRY CEASE, BORN OCT. 19, 1898, AND DIED JAN. 10, 1901, ONLY A LITTLE OVER 3 YEARS OLD. THEN CAME 2 GIRLS, 2 BOYS AND 3 MORE GIRLS INCLUDING MY MOTHER. THE NEXT BOY WAS NAMED JACOB CEASE JR., WHO HAD 2 GIRLS AND 1 BOY NAMED, JACOB CEASE III. MY OTHER UNCLE, VINCENT CEASE ONLY HAD 1 CHILD, A BOY NAMED JAY CEASE. I AM NOT SURE WHICH ONE OF MY COUSINS HAS THE RESEARCH, EITHER, JACOB III OR JAY. I WILL CALL MY MOTHER TO FIND OUT AND LET YOU KNOW. ALSO, ALL OF MY AUNTS HAD SEVERAL CHILDREN, WHO HAD CHILDREN, WHO HAD CHILDREN, WHO HAD CHILDREN AND BY NOW I AM SURE HAVE 5TH COUSINS TO ME BUT I LOST TRACK MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO, I KNOW MOST WERE BORN IN PA.
THE MAIN THING IS IF YOU HAVE INFORMATION ON THE CEASE FAMILY IN THE MID 1800'S, AND SHOW MY GRANDFATHER, JACOB CEASE, BORN IN PA. ON APRIL 5, 1874 AND DIED, OCT. 25, 1938, AND ALSO MARRIED MY GRANDMOTHER, ANNA FRIED AKA FREED, CEASE, JAN. 1, 1895, WE HAVE THE SAME CEASE FAMILY AND MY COUSIN HAS THE EARLIER INFO YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. ONE WAY OR THE OTHER PLEASE E-MAIL ME BACK AND LET ME KNOW.
THANKS, PATTY

Hi Patty!!! I'm so glad you responded to my posting!!! I would love to talk with you more on this. I have a database of Ceases and actually have all your line back to Henry Cease from Germany, if it is correct. It was submitted to me as a gedcom by another Cease researcher. This system must not let us share email addresses as I cannot seem to get yours. Mine is: kcardoz@pacifier.com Please write!!!!!

Hi Patty,
I was interested in your posting because it indicated your mother was born in Nanticoke, Pa.
I grew up mostly in W. Nanticoke and have been gathering and analyzing Cease info for quite a few years. I have mostly concentrated on the earlier members of the family and so have a lot of the info missing on Ceases after about 1900.
One thing you should be sure of is that there are many different Cease lines. In fact there are so many of them in the USA by 1850 that it is certain that they are not all related (at least not during the last few centuries). Can your mother remember her grandparents. I would be very interested to know how she and you connect.
We are no doubt related. I am descended from an earlier Jacob Cease who married Emma Jane Van Loon.
Please send me an email at barrall.ray@excite.com with any additional info you or your mother have. I recently moved to California and a lot of my files are in storage until we build a new house.

Best wishes,

Ray Barrall
