Thomas & Susanna Frable (Frevel)

Thomas & Susanna Frable (Frevel)

I'm trying to confirm a story that has run in my family about Thomas and Susanna "adopting" an America Indian baby girl whose family was killed. According to the story in 1879/1880 several America Indian families were killed and six babies were orphaned and sent to live with "white" families.

The baby girl that was adopted by Susanna and Thomas was named Anna S. Bisel (later Parson and then Gum) born in 1979. She shows up in a 1880 census with the Frable family.

Although no one is quite sure of the story, since there is no documentation we have been able to find, I've also heard maybe Susanna was the American Indian and someone mentioned in an email the other day it has also been rumored to be her father Joseph Gehoh (Geho). At any rate, just trying to verify if any of this is true and what tribe she would have been from. Anna S. Bisel would be my Great Great-Grandmother with Susanna being my Great, Great, Great-Grandmother. Thanks in advance!

Hi! I believe Susanna is my GGG Grandmother on my mother's side. I've heard stories from my grandmother about her. I've never heard of Anna, but that doesn't mean anything! I can ask my Grandmother if she remembers anything like that. I've been told that Susanna was Lenni Lenape. My grandmother Joan Davidson (Frable), has a book about the tribe that she was discussed in. If you're interested, I can see if I can get more information from her.

From what my Dad has found, Thomas and Susanna had a son named Llayl Frabel who married Lizzie Hogan. They had a son named Claude Frabel, who married Beatrice Kessler. They had a daughter named Joan Frabel, who married Fredrick Davidson (my grandparents). I have to verify all that with my grandmother, though. My dad just emailed me this info yesterday.

Let me know if you'd like more info. I'll see what I can get.

Candace, My name is Donna, my great grandmother, Rosa Sybilla Frable (married name Randall) was the great great granddaughter of Susanna Gehoh. I have heard stories about her as well and I have been going crazy trying to find info about her. I would love, if its possible, a picture of the book and where our family is mentioned. My number is 561-436-8525, I live in Florida and would love a bit of help.
Thank you.
