I am working on a massive ROTHROCK family tree.
Elizabeth ROTHROCK was born 16 Sep 1778 at York County, Pennsylvania and died 04 Dec 1848 at Williamsport, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. She was the first of thirteen children of John ROTHROCK (1744-1805) and Salome Charity (went by Charity) WORLEY ROTHROCK (1759-1828) who married in 1776 at York, York County, Pennsylvania and lived their lives in York County. Elizabeth married Thomas UPDEGRAFF (b. 24 Jun 1774 at York County, Pennsylvania and died 31 Oct 1857 at Williamsport, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania) on 10 Aug 1796 at York, York County, Pennsylvania.
Thomas was the son of Abraham UPDEGRAFF (1746-1781) and Mary (Key?) MENDENHEIM (1737-1837). At this time I am only interested in, and have information on, the descendants of
Elizabeth ROTHROCK UPDEGRAFF and her husband Thomas UPDEGRAFF. Elizabeth and Thomas were the parents of eight known children. They moved from York County, Pennsylvania to Williamsport, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania in about 1807. The children are:
1. Abraham UPDEGRAFF (c1795 - young), was he really a son of Elizabeth and Thomas?
2. Anna Maria UPDEGRAFF (1797 - 1872) went by Mary. She died at Williamsport. She married Col. William FIELD (1793-1872) in 1818 and they were the parents of fourteen children. They are buried at the Washington Boulevard Cemetery at Williamsport.
3. William UPDEGRAFF (1798 - 1846) died at Rensselaer, Jasper County, Indiana. He married Rachel SMITH (1800-1836) in 1826. She also died at Rensselaer. They were the parents of eight known children.
4. Eliza UPDEGRAFF (1802 - 1862) went by Eliza. She married 1) Adam HUNTER (b. 1797 in Scotland) and 2) William FIELD. She was the mother of Robb and Caroline (b. 1842) HUNTER. The HUNTER family was living in Williamport in 1850.
5. Lucy UPDEGRAFF (1803 - 1876) married Samuel LOVE (b. 1804) in 1829 at Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. Nothing is known of any children. Lucy and Samuel are buried at the Washington Boulevard Cemetery, at Williamsport, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania.
6. Sarah UPDEGRAFF (1805 - 1877) went by Sally and she married Antis SECHLER (1805-???). They had three known children.
7. Abraham UPDEGRAFF (1808 - 1884) lived his live at Williamsport. He married Maria Elizabeth PETERMAN (1817-1886) and had seven children.
8. Susan UPDEGRAFF (1810 - 1872) married John THOMPSON (c1806-1869) in 1827. They lived at Williamsport. They had eight children.
Does anyone have information to trade on this family and their descendants? Does anyone have a cemetery index for Lycoming County that could look up where these people are buried?
Thanks,
