Hi, I live in Benton Township near the old Doud cemetery and near the old Gumaer Homestead. There are graves for Lewis Gumaer b:3-28-1836 d:6-22-1911 and his wife Draxa (Hobbs) Gumaer b: 11-7-1832 d: 2-21-1916. I also have a deed with Fred Gumaer on it. I knew Hayden & Leah Gumaer. He was a tax collected in Benton Township for years. He also had bees, made honey, and fixed antique clocks. The area was called Marshbrook. It was originally Luzerne Co. now it's Lackawanna. Hayden's brother lived nearby also. I forget his name. There was a sister also named Leah that lived near too. I hope this helps.

you have my attention! my Grandmother was a Benton PA Gumaer! she grew up near GRAYCE Farms (the Lewis Farm) . could you possibly e-mail me directions to Dowd Cemetery? We've been looking for Peter & Daraxa. most Gumaers in that area were buried in Chase, Clifford Valley Cemetery, Willow View, Gibson & Nicholson. thank you for keeping your eyes open.

cousin hayden was wonderful. there were two Leah Gumaers Hayden's wife & Arthur's Wife -- 2nd cousins. my grandmother was actually born in a house behind Hayden & his Uncle Hugh's. where is Dowd in relation to Marshbrook Road? also where Gumaer Road comes in on Marshbrook was Case Gumaer's Farm ('Cornelius Sanford - Hugh's father.) would it be possible to get a copy of the deed? Fred was the son of Ezekiel & Clarinda Barber. i believe Fred owned his father's place which is up Marshbrook on the left - from what i remember was a beautiful house. (about 20 years ago.) thanks again. also the Benton Gumaers have lots of cousins who are White's. please contact me aboout that too i have lots of information. Peter H's son Bill owned the site of the Harford Fair in Harford imtil his death in 1969.
