I am researching the William Lester Mesner family tree and found a distant relative, Harry J. Mesner, to have served Samuel Swabe as a 10 year old from the 1880 census (in Pennsylvania). The information I have found leads me to believe he may have had some type of disability although his occupation as an adult is listed as house painter. Harry J. Mesner married Anna M. Kerr in 1891. I am looking to find his biological parents if you have any idea how the Swabe's came to board him. Thank you so much, Karen Mesner

I am looking also. How do you know that the Harry Mesner that Married Anna Kerr has a middle initial of 'J'? I haven't found that anywhere. I did find a reference to the marriage license for Harry and Anna. Since Harry was a minor at that time, a guardian had to sign at Orphans court for him to get it. This Harry is my Great Great Grandfather.
