Re: Garman Church Cemetery

Janet Van Emon — 8 Dec 1998 12:00:00 GMT

I am looking for more information on the following families, some of whose members are buried at the Garman Lutheran Church in Clinton Co., PA.

KISSELL\\VANAMAN S.A. (Sarah Ann?) Vanaman born ca 1838 in New Jersey, daughter of Luke Vanaman and Anna Hewitt. Married Albert Kissell. Their infant daughter is buried in the Garman Lutheran cemetery next to the Vanaman graves. Date of death 23 Jan 1863.

VANAMAN\\HEWITT Both buried at Garman: Luke Vanaman, born 15 Oct 1789, married to Anna Hewitt 8 Feb 1812 in Cumberland Co., NJ, died 28 Jun 1859. Anna Hewitt Vanaman, died 11 Sep 1860.

VANAMAN\\NEYHART Levi Vanaman, born 26 Jun 1827 in NJ, died 22 Aug 1870. Buried at Garman. His wife, Maria Neyhart, daughter of Eli Neyhart and Julia Grace, lived in several townships near Pine Creek in Lycoming Co. Her burial location is unknown.

VANAMAN\\BERGER Edward Neyhart Vanaman, son of Levi Vanaman and Maria Neyhart, born 27 Apr 1869, in Torbet, Watson Twp, Lycoming Co., married Della Nancy
BERGER, daughter of John and Catherine Berger, born Oct 1899. Edward grew up along Pine Creek. The Bergers lived in Mifflin Twp, Lycoming Co. Edward's daughter thought the Bergers were somehow connected to the Garman Lutheran Church. Cannot find the name of John Berger's father or Catherine Berger's maiden name.. I wonder if the name Berger might have been shortened from Eckelberger, or Eichelberger.

WITHINGTON

Dr. Harry Issac Sharp — 30 May 1998 12:00:00 GMT

I have just disccovered a new line in my family group: WITHINGTON. This name surfaced in the early 1800's when Margaret Withington married Daniel Jones. The couple lived out their adult lives in Venango Co. But...there is no mention of a Withington Family in Venango Co. records. Most of my related lines all came from Clinton Co. before moving on to Venango Co. Therefore...I am making the giant step and assuming her family may have come from Clinton also.

Daniel R. Haynes & Agnes McCloskey

PauletteHaynes0 — 2 Jul 2001 4:16:29 GMT

Guess there are a lot of McCloskeys in Clinton Co. so maybe someone can help on this one.

I saw an LDS-IGI file which has Daniel Ramson Haynes married Agnes Wilmina McCloskey, 1862 Lock Haven, Clinton County, PA. They were the parents of James Clarence Haynes born 10 Jun 1874 Lock Haven, PA. Daniel supposingly was born 25 Nov 1842 in Rushford, Allegany Co. NY the son of James Haynes and Eva Jensen. Sometimes LDS files aren't very accurate and it is difficult to determine exactly where the information comes from initially. I have found this JAMES HAYNES family in the census of Allegany County, NY 1850 & 1855, but haven't found anything in Clinton Co. PA that connects with them.

I am interested in hearing from anyone who might have information about Mary.

William Bader, soon after his wife's death moved to Baltimore, Maryland.

Any information you might have or could lead me to re: my great grandmother would be appreciated. Thanking you in advance for your response.

Seeking Aikey and Reynolds information in Clinton County

lhbook1 — 23 Dec 2007 1:11:39 GMT

On March 9, 1888, my grandfather, Clarence Aikey, was adopted in Clinton County by Irvin and Ella Aikey. I have a copy of the adoption certificate. The woman who gave him up for adoption was Ada Reynolds. No father is given. My grandfather's adoption has been a dead end in my genealogy research on my father's side of the family.

I have no information on Ada Reynolds except for the adoption paper and very little information on Irvin and Ella Aikey. There is a reference in the 1910 census of Clarence living with his mother, Ella, in Patton, PA. That's about it. My grandfather did not tell his children about his adoption. My father, also Clarence, found out about it by accident.

Does anyone have a suggestion how I may be able to track down Ada Reynolds, Irvin and Ella Aikey in Clinton County ca. 1880's?

Attention all Clinton, Cameron and adjacent county family researchers. On July 29, 2007 there will be a one time only reunion held in Lock Haven for the descendants of Charles Grogan/Grugan and the Grugan and Allied Families. Charles was a Revolutionary War veteran and settled in the Buffalo Valley around 1780. He died young and his wife re-married moving to what is now Clinton County. His daughter married into the Mason family and his sons settled around Glen Union, Pennsylvania. Their descendants are now spread throughout the country. We hope to publish a family history at some point after this event and would like to include as much updated information as possible. Please visit www.gruganfamily.com for all the details. ALL descendants and relatives are invited to attend – your last name doesn’t have to be Grugan and all the names below are family plus many more! In an effort to reach as many people as possible I am including a list of surnames associated with our family, it is not all inclusive. If you have roots in Clinton, Cameron or surrounding counties and have any of the following surnames in your lineage you may be a relative, especially if you see several familiar ones. Please contact me via e-mail and I will assist you in determining if you are a descendant of Charles. I would love to hear from anyone interested in researching any of these families in this area.

Joseph H. Venatta 1837-1919

NJAncestry — 12 Jul 2007 8:16:25 GMT

I am trying to find his parents, siblings, etc.
He was born and lived his whole ilife in Pa.
This is what I know:

Joseph H. Venatta was born April 1837 in Pa.

In 1860, he is 23, living with Mary E. (presumably Margaret Bodle) age 20 and their daughter Mary Naomi Vannatta age 2.
Beech Creek, Clinton County.

On Aug 19, 1861 he enlists with Company A of the 49th PA Regiment, Infantry for two years, 2 months, 27 days until Oct 3 1862.

On Sept 1, 1864 he enlists with Company B of the 210th PA Regiment, Infantry until May 30 1865. On Oct 8, 1864 his daughter Alice Elma Vannatta is born.

His daughter Mary Naomi Vannatta dies in 1867, at age 9.

In 1870 he is 32 and living with Alabama,(presumably Alabama White widow of Joseph Poorman)(maiden name White) age 30 and their son Henry Vanetta age 9. This would mean that Henry was born about 1861, three years after Mary Naomi Vanatta is born, while he was still (presumably) married to Margaret.
Boggs, Centre County.

It is possible that He was married to Margaret from 1858 to 1861, then to Alabama.
However Alice Vanetta was born in 1864.

So, was he married to Margaret when Henry was conceived or was he married to Alabama when Alice was conceived? It seems it may be one or the other. Marriage records here would help.

In 1880 he is still living with Alabama.
Renovo, Clinton County.

In 1890 hi is listed on the veterans schedule.
Renovo, Clinton County

IN 1898 Alabama dies.

In 1900 he is living with Poorman nieces and nephews.
Renovo, Clinton County.

In 1910, miracode index, he is living with wife Elizabeth R. (unknown)
Lock Haven, Clinton County.

In 1919 he dies married to Elizabeth unknown, while living in Millersville, Lancaster County.

Any and all help would be appreciated!

Leidy Township - Clement Saw Mill - Madison Beeler

Sheri60178 — 27 May 2007 10:26:03 GMT

Does anyone have a map of Leidy Township showing where the Clement Saw Mill was located in 1860 who could scan and email it to me? When my great-grandfather, Madison James Beeler, received his citizenship he listed Moses Clement as a person who knew him for at least 5 years. I can't find Madison on the 1860 census, but Moses is listed as a lumberman. I am guessing that Madison worked for him. My email is Genealogy60178@aol.com.

Am also looking for early marriage and death records, say between 1850-1860. Family lore said Madison married but his wife died young and he left their baby with her parents and went to WI.

maigheach — 27 Nov 2004 5:47:18 GMT

Just found this board, and would like some help with my family tree.
My father was Ray Gordon WOLFE, b: 23 Sep 1925. His mother was Leah CHAPMAN, b: 17 May, 1908. I have been told she was not married to my Dad's father, who is supposed to have been a John WOLFE, from McElhattan, PA. I have no information on John Wolfe at all.
Leah Chapman's parents were supposedly Samuel CHAPMAN and Lottie HOOVER; again, I have no info on them.
Leah Chapman later married Raymond CROAK, and later still, Lawrence PACKER. All of the aforementioned persons are deceased. I do have death dates for Ray Wolfe, Ray Croak, Leah and Lawrence Packer.
What I am looking for is birth/marriage/death dates, possible origins, parentage. I was born in Lock Haven, as was my mother, but I'm not sure about my father.

Jeanne is listed on the Census as Jeanne M. and Jeanne H. On husband Samuel's WWI draft registration in 1918 she is listed as Jeane Hepburn Heisey. In 1920 her mother, Anne L.
