I am searching the Tri-County areas for assistance in finding my Ireland born relatives the LANE families. My great grandfather, Patrick LANE was born in 1830; my great grandmother, Mary O'DONNELL was born in 1832, or 1833?. I believe the LANES may have been married in 1853; in Queenstown, Queens County, New Brunswick, Canada. The had at least (9) nine children; the oldest child Eliza LANE, was born in Canada, in 1854. My great grandmother Sara LANE, (the 3rd oldest child), was born in 1858, in Elmira, New York; (Chemung County.) She married John ROGERS; born in Ireland, he was born in 1872.
I found the LANES in the 1870 New York, Federal Census; in the Township of South Port; in the County of Chemung (New York.) I, also found the LANES in the 1880, Pennsylvania, Federal Census; they are living in the Township of Delmar; in the County of Tioga, Pennsylvania. I just recently found on the Joyce M. Tice website, a record of Baptism; the nineth child, Patrick LANE, was baptized on August 3rd, 1873; baptized in St. Mary's Church, in Elmira, New York. He was born on July 10th, 1873; (exact location unknown at this time?)
I greatly appreciate the Joyce M. Tice website, and greatly appreciate any assistance anyone can offer me in my research. Thank You.
According to records in the Tioga County Court House, my G-G-Grandfather, William Vanzile, was born in Vermont to Henry Vanzile and Ruth Vanzile on 3/15/1810 and Interred in Roseville, PA, Watson Cemetery 6/27/1898. The State of Vermont has no records of Henry or Ruth, any suggestions where I can continue tracing the Vanzile's from Vermont?
Thanks, LaRue VanZile, Williamsport, PA

FULLER, Curtis P.
I just received a copy of the Civil War Pension file for Curtis P. FULLER,
son of Alanson FULLER and and unknown first wife who may be my ancestor rather
than his 2nd wife Jane BARDWELL. New information as a result of this pension:
Curtis was born 25 Sept 1829 in Springfield Twp., Bradford County and lived
there until 04 July 1870 when he moved to Lambs Creek, Richmond Twp., Tioga
County, PA. He married Arintha M. MOORE in Springfield, Bradford County on 24
Dec. 1850. He died 06 Sept 1891 in Lambs Creek and his wife Arintha died 25 Jan
1908, same place. What I need now is more information about his parents,
especially his Mother.. I have no idea who she was; I need something from an
obit, a death register or anything else that would tell me what I need to know
to help me determine if Lydia FULLER who md. my Thomas Haven AMES was a sister
or a step sister of Curtis P. so that I can chase the correct woman (I have
gotten nowhere on Jane BARDWELL). From census I have seen children of Curtis
and Arintha listed as: George, Alvah and Ida. Have found nothing further on
them, either.

Kathy,
I happened upon your query on the Tri-Counties Genealogy & History Site by
Joyce M. Tice for Tioga County, while checking to see if my possibly related
query, which I sent a couple of weeks ago has been posted (which it hasn't
yet).
I would be very grateful if you could help me sort out the various "George Kohler"s from this area (I'm guessing that most, if not all, of the Kohlers were related to one another to varying extents...for example, it seems likely that Conrad and Philip were brothers, in light of the cross-talk among their children's names, but the Census data suggest to me they may have arrived in what became Liberty at different times). This is a fantastic research site, and I have only just begun to compile and sort through the KOHLER-related data there. What I've distilled so far is contained in the attached Word file (please excuse the uneven editing), which I hope will be of some use to you (it contains the URLs for the source pages on Joyce's site).
If it happens that you are related to Nina B. Kohler (daughter of my gg-Grandfather...and, by inference, to me!), then it may interest you to know that she was quite distinguished, having twice (1912, 1914) won the championship of the Women's Southern Golf Association (WSGA).

Query for George F. KOHLER, Liberty Township, Tioga County, PA
I am searching for ancestry (including hometown in Germany) and spouse data
for my gg-Grandfather George F. KOHLER, father of Nina B. KOHLER (family
records indicate NBK was born in Liberty, PA on June 10, 1862). One
promising candidate is George KOHLER as cited in the 1860 Census data for
Liberty, PA:

12 39 39 Kohler George 26 M Cabinetmaker 400 200 PA

15 111 111 Kohler Philip J. 60 M Farmer 800 300 Germany

The data from the 1870 Census of Liberty, PA, should resolve this, but is
not yet available online. Could someone check the manual records and let me
know what information is available about this branch of the KOHLER family?

Hi -
I recently came across the website of Tioga and the two counties in PA, and
I have found some information to help me with my family history. I think the
information posted is very valuable, but I was wondering if you know anything
more about the West family. I am trying to locate information about Edward
Adney West who was born in PA Feb. 1 1870. His parents are George W. West (b.
1818 NY) and Abigail (Ritter) West (b. ~1826 NY). I found the West family in
the 1850 and 1860 census you have posted, but I will have to locate the 1870 census.
Thanks for your help!

LAFFERTY/BARTON
Hello folks,
I am looking for any help with the family of JOHN LAFFERTYand his wife
PHOEBE BARTOO/BARTON. John was a veteran of the Revolutionary War. He filed for
pension through the courthouse at Wellsborough, in 1818. By 1821 he had moved to
New York State living in Cattaraugus County. One of the places mentioned in the
Pension file was CANOE CAMP.
John and Phoebe had 10 children. Also a grandchild LUCY BRUCE/BRICE is mentioned in the pension file and at the time of filing was 4 years old and living with her grandparents.
I have information to share on descendants, but am looking for hopefully a birth place for John, or where he might have been living prior to the pension filing! He was born January 1, 1755. I also have birthdates available for his wife and all of the children.
Please reply to cbarber@wrkcs.net.
Thank you all for your time!

Hi Joyce,
While doing some research, I stumbled across your Tri-Counties Genealogy site.
I think you have done a wonderful job and you should be praised for your
outstanding accomplishment. My research involves Martin John(s) [abt 1765 -
1847] who is considered to be the progenitor of many of the John/Johns families
of Western Pennsylvania. There appear to be many Johns families in the
Tri-County area and I'm curious if there is any relationship. The acid test
seems to be this. Martin John was of German descent - his original surname is
reported to be Johannes. If a John or Johns family is of German extraction,
then the family is probably related to the family I am researching. If the John
or Johns family is of Welsh or English descent, then the family is probably
unrelated. My questions are these: (1) Have you ever encountered the name
Martin John? And if so, is there a relationship to the Johns families of the
Tri-County area? (2) Are the Johns families of the Tri-County area of German,
Welsh or English origin? Thank you very much for your assistance.

Hi Joyce, you have a great site, thanks for putting the effort into it. It has been very helpful. Perhaps too helpful. J
I have a dilemma and I am writing to you for some guidance. I have been researching Keturah McCracken (21 Dec 1815 - 01 Oct 1858) who was born in NJ and according to the Latter Day Saints’ site and other sites, married James Stout Norris (JSN) on 12 Dec 1839 in Morris Co NJ. She is my wife’s gg-grandmother. Her parents and siblings moved from NJ to Liberty, Tioga County, PA in 1833. JSN appears in the census of 1850 living in NJ with his second wife, Elvira Clauson, and with his three young daughters born in 1843 and twins in 1845. I had understood the three girls were the daughters of Keturah. I had originally presumed she died prior to 1850, possibly at the time of the birth of her twin daughters in 1845.
I obtained some additional data that was a copied transcript of an article by George E. McCracken, Ph.D., F.A.S.G., P.G.S.P. American Genealogist Vol 60, Issue 2, April 1984 in which it is indicated:
“X111 THOMAS B. 24 May 1790, d. 5 Sept. 1868 (birth according to his tombstone in Morris ?Co., NJ, which is not impossible). He m. 24 Aug. 1815 RACHAEL BAIRD, B. 19 June 1793, d 23 Oct. 1872. It is their Bible which is now in the possession of Howard Norman.”
And in the same article it is indicated:
“Mrs. Ladd has supplied me with a copy of a Bible record now in the possession of Howard Norman of Liberty PA.”
I also received transcriptions of newspaper clippings of McCracken Family reunions in the Liberty area around 1900 that indicate Keturah married a Morris. At first I thought this a transcription error however there was Morrises at the reunions as well as some living siblings of Keturah who I presumed must have thought the Morrises were relatives. In reviewing the information on your site and other sources it is clear that a Keturah married a Rev. Joseph Morris and is buried in the Union Church Cemetery in Liberty where many of the NJ McCrackens who moved to Liberty are also buried. Thomas is also buried there ( Thomas McCracken 24 May 1790 - 1885) which indicates there may be some errors in the transcription. There are also some discrepancies in the censuses that lead to other questions such as in the 1840 census Joseph Morris’ wife is less than 20. In the 1850 census it shows “Kittura” age 33, born in PA, married to Joseph Morris. In other censuses her children indicate their mother was born in PA rather than NJ. Whereas the other McCrackens appear to correctly show who was born in NJ and who in PA.
I am pursuing the data that indicates Keturah married James Stout Norris on 12 Dec 1839 in Morris Co NJ. I am also trying to see what other information may be available in Liberty. Some of the data on your site is attributed to a Rhoda English Ladd. I though she might be the Mrs. Ladd referenced above. I did a search and did not find a street address for her but did find information which indicated if still alive, she would be 89 and therefore maybe no longer be active in genealogy. I did a similar search for Howard Norman. Again no street address but in this case found he would be 98. My question is do you know Mrs. Ladd and how I might approach her or whoever may have her records? And the same with respect to Mr. Norman?
My third question is: I had sent an email to Dick McCracken on 31 Dec of last year without hearing from him. I note he has not been active on the message boards lately and since he also has contributed to your site wondered if you also knew him or how I might contact him. The email addresses I used were rjm001@myfamily.com and rjm001@epix.net
Lastly, my wife and I are fairly new to this having only started to look for our ancestors in Oct of last year and we live in TX and so are doing this long distance. If you have any other suggestions as to how we might resolve this apparent contradicting information, we certainly would be interested in them.
Again, Thanks for a great site, Mike.

Hello Joyce,
Thank you for your help and what a wonderful site. I have learned so much about my
birthplace and living in Tioga County until 1952, there is so much I did not know. One is
never to old to learn so at sixty-eight years young I am still trying to master
this computer.
I am still trying to find the DEXTER line and have most of them that lived in Pa.,
thanks to you.
I still can't find where my g grandfather came from. He married Chloe (Smith) Hemminger
June 4, 1849 in Shippen township, Tioga County, Pa.. Lewis DEXTER came from somewhere
in NY but have no idea. What I am trying to find out is Lewis's parents names and where they
are from.
Do you have anyone that will do research for pay? My brothers and sisters(twelve of us)
are all getting along in years and would love to know what country we originated from.
Thank you in advance if you can guide me.
Smiles,

(10th Michigan Cavalry, Company L). Burton and Charlotte are enumerated
in the 1870, 1880, and 1900 Genesee County, Michigan censuses. I am
descended from their son, Edwin.
According to plot book of the Fairview Cemetery (Linden, Michigan), in
which Burton and Charlotte are buried, his father's name was William
PERRY, and mother's name was Polly CASTLE.
I would be delighted to hear from anyone researching PERRY or CASTLE

Dear Joyce
What a web site you have. I have spent many of late nights just reading.
Some of the stories are amazing what people had to go thru back then. I have to
thank you and other researchers, for I have found most of geneology on your site.
My line is Peterson, Corey, Pallone, Johns, and Ludington. I have found most of
the Johns and Ludington's and part of the Peterson's (thanks to your web site).
I am writing because I am searching for the Corey's, Pallone's and my grandmother's
brothers and sisters on the Johns side. My grandmother was Beatrice Johns
daughter of Samuel Edward and Bertha Marie Johns. Bertha passed away in 1926
of a ruptured appendix. My grandmother was around 8 years old at the time.
Samuel remarried a lady named Julia. My mother tells me that she had a brother.
They lived on the farm at Mitchell Creek.
My grandmother Beatrice Johns married Dominic Pallone. I don't know when.
Beatrice Johns was born 4/10/1918 and died in 1992. Dominic was born in 1916
and past away around 1984. Dominic's father is Angelo Pallone. He came to
america in the early 1900's. Angelo married a lady by the last name of Cook.
Her first husband was killed working on the railroad. She had 3 children prior
to the marriage and they had 6 more children. And that is all I know at the
moment on that.
On the Corey side. My grandmother on my daddy's side is Ada Virginia Corey born
1/1/1903 in PA. Daddy says they are from the Elkland PA area. She married
Raymond Leslie Peterson Sr. (my Daddy is Raymond Leslie Peterson Jr.) around
1920. Raymond Sr is a son of LeGrand Peterson. I am told that Ada's parents
names were Horace and Ada Corey. And that she also had a brother by the name
of Horace. I can't find any trace of them. I have gone to the library and
searched the census for Tioga County PA. When Ada Virginia married my grandfather
they moved to Elmira Heights NY. I did find them in the Census for 1930.
If you have any information on these I would appreciate the help. Thank you for
everything you and the researchers have done. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Lori Richards

parents Peter & Ann Cameron and eight siblings from the same parish in
Scotland. William & Catherine were married in Blossburg in 1849. They are
my great grandparents and had 12 children. From 1847-1874 they moved with the
mines and helped to establish Presbyterian churches: 1853 in Blossburg (and
children Thomas, Peter 1st , Anna, William), 1856 in Morris Run (and children
James Cameron, David), 1861 in Fall Brook (and children Peter 2nd, Bess
Richardson, Kathryn Bernea, Belle Richardson my grandmother), and 1868 in
Arnot (and children Roxanna, Christine P.) In 1874 they leave the church in
Arnot and by Census of 1880 are in Houtzdale, Clearfield Co., Pennsylvania.
The delightful TriCounties website has been a wonderful source of data. Would
greatly enjoy sharing data with any other persons interested in the WATCHMAN
and CAMERON families. There are apparently still descendants of Judge David
Watchman in Wellsboro.

That is all it says about her family.
They had a 300 acre dairy farm in Lawrenceville Twp., Tioga Co. PA
I can't find any of them on the 1880 Census, and I can't even find the parents of
William on the 1880 Census either, I believe his parents had a farm in Tioga Co.,
PA.
It was brought to my attention that the farm of Charles Tillinghast was
abandoned the same year that William died in 1916, and I am wondering if William
took over his father's farm. This is the farm where a newborn infant was found
in the well of the well, of the abandoned farm of Charles Tillinghast.
William did remarry to Fanny Seely KOLB November 06, 1883 at the First
Congregational Church of Elmira, Chemung Co., New York

Hi...
My name is Michael Little and I am 14 years old...
My mom and her family are from westfield and knoxville...McLaughlin and Eaves and
Jones and Brown are her family names...
My dad and his family are from Sabinsville...Their names are Little, Smith, Burrell,
and Roberts...
I love your site...It is full of information on many people!
i found lots of stuff about the Roberts family...Mark, Luell, and Dennis...I have a
question, and although i doubt that you can help me,
Is there a way that i can find out for sure if George Roberts was the father
of Dennis?
One of the Paragraphs from your site was this:
A large two story building on South Main Street, originally built by
George W. Roberts and operated as a blacksmith and wagon shop, first by him and later
by Romaine Doty, was purchased by Luell J. Roberts and converted into a modern garage
and filling station. Since his death in 1945, it has been owned and operated by his son,
Mark J. Roberts.
This makes me think that maybe he (george) sold it to his grandson,
(Luell)...
Can you check this out for me?
Also...On your website, I used the tri-county search to look up the surname Little...
Because Little is a common english word, it brought up nothing of a surname type...
Could you see if you have anything..?
Thanks for everything....

Do these sound familiar to anyone? I know that Lilley was my Aunt....died Sep
1896
and I know that Juder and Sally Adeline Moore were her parents and my
g-grandparents. But I noticed that Oscar also lived in Wellsboro, and was
also a brakeman. I think they may be related, maybe brothers.

Does any of this info sound familiar to anyone?

PATCHEN, Ira
J Tice history of Tioga says:"In 1837, Ira Patchen located in Covington and opened a
gun smith shop" ( Where was it?). "He combined the business of farming with gunsmithing"
( where was his farm?).
Did Ira die there or did he move to Jersey Shore, PA with his son Frederick. In what
year did he sell his farm and gun shop?
Thanks for any answers

Hello Joyce,
I am looking for my great grand mother Elizabeth Holloran (or Holleran as I have
seen it both ways) She came to America in what I believe to be 1866 from Ireland. At
the time I think she was only 6 or 7. I have searched high and low to find her and I
cannot find her or any of that side of my family. The reason I am asking you is is that
you came up when I typed in "origins of Holloran" and I found out that her brother
William Holloran was born in Pa. in about 1876. I also know that Elizabeth or "Nappy"
married my great grandfather John Gilroy. I am somewhat able to trace other parts of the
family from about 1900 from there. I cannot seem to find out much of anything about her .
If there is any way that you might help I would be very appreciative.
Thank you Jeff
Jeffrey Tkac,
