  Good morning!
      It's been awhile since I contacted you but I'm back working on my Godard/Goddard family which lived in Tioga County, near Keeneyville in the 1850-60's and married into the Keeney family three times. I was looking at your web site last night and I am amazed and impressed at the quantity of information you've made available. Great job!   I did find one relative that I had previously thought of as lost, the eldest son of Ira Goddard. While most of the family was living near Keeneyville,  James H. Goddard (listed as J H in the 1860 Census)  was living with the William Mitchell family in Tioga Township and was listed as a clerk, at 23 years of age. I've never found a further listing of him from this point and always thought he most likely joined the Army and was killed in the Civil War. Are there any records from the area which tell of enlistees? During the last year I found the last will and testament of his father, Ira, in LaSalle County, Illinois, something I had been looking for quite some time. James is no longer listed although it's not until 1880. Many things could have happened. Just wondered if you had ever come across this name? Also, I may have some research work needed in the area and would be glad to pay for services. Advice?

  Thanks,

I am sooo sorry I forgot to include my name for the query I sent on Heny BRION.  I was so thrilled and overwhelmed by your website, the left side of my brain failed to include everything.

My great-great grandfather, Henry BRION and his wife Esther (FREDERICK) had 2 sons according to our family bible:  Reuben and Perrin.  both were born in "Liberty Town", Tioga county.   My geat grandfather was Reuben BRION born 6/28/1846.  According to the bible record he married Rhuey KILPATRICK who was born 5/9/1861.  They had two sons, Phillipp Harmond and Charles W.   Rhuey died two weeks after the birth of Charles on 12/10/1882.  I cannot find Rhuey for whom both my mother and I were named.  I am desperately seeking information on Rhuey KILPATRICK.  I don't know if there might be an error in the spelling or if all the records I am searching for are lost.  I know that Reuben gave up both sons (Phillipp and Charles) for adoption and later remarried Anna BISHOP.

I am really a novice at this genealogy business, so let me apologize in advance for my apparent ignorance of how to retrieve or search for information.

I do want to take the time to tell youwhat a beautiful web site you have created.  I especially enjoy your photography.  I grew up in Penna, but live in Florida now and your pictues really remind me of home.  The photograph  of Trinity Episcopal Church in Antrim I had printed for my album!!  My grandmother Anna Elizabeth (WITHEY) O'CONNOR was baptised there and I remember visiting it with her many years later.  I discovered a lot of informtaion about my family trhough your website, that I had never been able to find anywhere else,  THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Hi All,

There appears to be at least one thing wrong in the "Mudge Memorials,"  which is dead wrong and has confused Mudge researchers to this day. Ebenezer MUDGE Jr. married Hannah ? first and had 5 children, then he  married Patience FULLER and had 2 more children with her.

I actually got supporting documentation over it, in case anybody wanted to  argue with me about it. Thus, I sent a letter to the Clerk's office in
Haddam, Middlesex Co., CT.

This is what they had:

Third Book of Record Page 204

"MUDGE Ebenezer was married to his wife Hannah July 8, 1736.

Ebenezer their son was born April 13, 1737
Hannah was born Feb. 28, 1738/9
Abigail was born September 13, 1743."

Someone wrote about their ancestors working in the coal mines at Fallbrook and Antrim.  Several of my ancestors worked in the mines there; namely, Joseph Lodge who was my great grandfather, and his son John Lodge, my grandfather.

Joseph came from England, married Ann Parkyn and they came to America in 1863.  He worked for the Fall Brook Coal Company for two years and then at
Morris Run for several years.  From Morris Run, he went to the Arnot Mines, In 1870 he went to Antrim to work in the mines and was transferred to the
schutes as inspector of coal.

John Lodge was a coal miner in Red Burn, PA.  He was born in 1865 in Antrim and is buried in Kearney, NJ.

Trying once again to repost an old query on the FIELD family of Tioga County.  George W. Field, son of Moses Field, was born (according to his death certificate) Feb. 10, 1840 and died in 1927 in Minnesota.  He fought in the Spanish American War and possibly in the Civil War.  In the 1850 census of Tioga, there is another George W but he was born in December of 1840 and I've since learned he died in the Pacific Northwest.

My George's son Moses D (Jack) Field was born Oct. 3, 1884 in Cherry Flats, Tioga County.  In the 1900 census, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, he is a student at the Soldier's Orphans Industrial School in Greene Township.  Harry Field and Moses are assumed to be brothers since they are both attending the same school.  If this is Jack and his brother and father George did not die until 1927, did George put them in this school while he was away at war?  Jack's mother was supposedly long deceased by then.  According to family legend, she died in Kansas where the family had traveled by wagon train and the family returned to Pennyslvania. Her name was listed on some of Jack's records as Celia Zimmer.  The lack of the 1890 census has caused me to be unable to find any more information on Jack.  Does anyone recognize these names and facts? Would Harry actually be named Henry?  Thanks for any clues.

From:    mgapple@alltel.net (apple)
To:    TriCountie@aol.com

Newspaper report in Tioga Co. 1867 reports that "M. Waldo May and family " were "among flitters to the Great West.
What does the term "Great West" refer to at that time?  Is it in reference to a neighboring state, or to some other popular destination?  It would seem that "Great West" may have been reference to Michigan.

The Waldo May extended family which included son David B. May and wife Mariah moved to Ingham Co., Mi in 1867 according to the obit of Lewis Perry May their son. Lewis attended grammar school in Charleston Township until age 13 when the family moved.

Can anyone clarify "flitting to the Great West" and how it might have been accomplished in 1867. If the whole extended family were moving on, would "flitting" have had a derisive connotation, such as in search of greener pastures? Would the Civil War have had any influence?      Thanks, Marianne May Apple

I believe that Anna and Bella are my g-aunts and Isabelle is my step-g-g-grandmother

Per the 1949 obituary from the Nanty Glo Journal (Cambria Co) Annie Hughes was to be interned in the  Odd Fellows Cemetery in Blossburg, PA.  Can

Any assistance in finding info on these individuals and their families would be appreciated.

Hi Joyce, (Note from Joyce - No county given for this query - I am just guessing)

    I am sorry to bother you again, but can you tell me if you know anyone who can find my Charity (Goldsmith) Spencer in the Mitchell Corners Cemetery.  She is said to have been buried with her parents Brewster Goldsmith and Rachel Shoemaker Goldsmith.  Charity was born ca 1835, and died ca 1864/5.   I am so desperately trying to find dates.  I have finally found John Decker Spencer.  He is buried in Wakefield, Dixon Co., Nebraska along with his second wife Harriet Carnrike.  Any info would be greatly greatly appreciated.  Thanks you.

Hi Joyce...My daughter in Richmond, VA sent your site to me. My mother and all of her family was raised in Arnot, PA. They were the Auld family. My Aunt Mary and Uncle Tom Booth lived in Arnot long after most of the family moved to other areas. Then they lived in Bloss for many years and their son, my cousin Howard Booth ran the mercantile store for many years. My Uncle Tom ran the only grocery store in Arnot during the 40's and probably before. My Aunt Agnes Farrell played the organ in the Presbyterian Church on the hill for "50" years....My Grandfather John Auld died in a mine blast there in Arnot when my mother was only 12 or 13 years old. My mother Grace Auld Brown just died here in Georgia on April 28th. She was 88 years old. She was the last of all the original Auld children (12 of them). Most of them lived to be in their 80's... Just a little info for you.  There are many many of the Aulds buried in the Arbor Cemetery in Bloss including my great-great grandparents.
My name is Naomi Grace Brown Coleman and I live in Snellville, GA near Atlanta. This was a pleasant surprise to see this. I'll relay it on to my brother who has a lot of the Auld geneology, although my daughter in Richmond, Kathy Ordway has researched most of it. Thanks again.

<< My name is Kenneth Groves, My gr gr grandmother was Elizabeth (Isabella)  Jane French.  Her father was William Milton French, presumed to be born in Bradford Co PA around 1825/1826 from his Civil War service records.  His parents were Ira and Elizabeth French.  In the 1850 census in Madison Co OH, Ira was born around 1781 in NY and Elizabeth around 1792 in PA.

I've checked your Tri County website.  It has provided me a lot of information on the French family; however, no information on marriages. My main concern is finding a marriage between Ira and Elizabeth French that would occur prior to 1815.  This would be a vital link with the rest of the French family in the Tri County area.

Any information on how to obtain this would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for the ancestry of Savilah Hartsock,  born 14 February 1817, in Tioga Co, PA, and died 4 Apr 1883 in Flushing, Genesse County, MI.  Who were the parents of Savilah - there is no information in Michigan to help me on this.  She possibly had a brother Samuel, a shoemaker, and John, a shoemaker.  Possibly Liberty Township.  Possible connection to Livingston Co., NY but this is based on a obituary of John Hartsock in Genesse Co..   (Sorry, no first or last name signed - Anonymous)
