Eisenhower family in Pennsylvania

James S.D. Eisenhower, III — 20 Sep 2005 5:18:15 GMT

I am in the line of Eisenhower's from Dauphin County, PA.
I am interested in any information on the River Brethern part of the Eisenhower family in Pennsylvania. I understand that Dwight Eisenhower's grandfather was a RB minister who with Dwight's father left the Harrisburg area in the 1870's(?).

My side of the family stayed in the Harrisburg and Carlisle area.

Info Needed On Particular Records That May Show Maiden Name

trebla04 — 3 Aug 2007 9:49:27 GMT

If this happens to be the wrong section to post this, and if there may be a better category to help with my search, please let me know.

A brief rundown of what I'm looking for, and what I have, may end up helping in my hunt for information and help another genealogist give me some advice.

My great-great-grandfather was married to a woman, Sallie Eisenhower, who would be my great-great-grandmother, in Philadelphia, PA. I found that she died at the age of 39 from blood poising. I found out from a cemetery director that along in her grave was a child, Albert Eisenhower, who was listed as 13 months old at the time of death. What led me to believe that this was probably her child, was due the fact that the child died a year later, 13 months exact, from the time of her death. The feeling I have is that she probably died of complications from childbirth. I have never known this woman's surname, only my family's surname, with none of the family actually knowing anything about her other than she was my great-grandfather's biological mother who died when he was just 14 years old. My great-great-grandfather remarried, so the stepmother was usually referred to as a grandmother even though it was not through blood.

Trying to find my biological great-great-grandmother's surname has become an arduous task with dead ends at every turn. She either lists with her married name, Eisenhower, or is not listed at all.

I went to one of the family burial plots and requested any info about the people buried, four to be exact. Her name was placed on the tombstone. I received a list containing the names, their burial dates, and their last known residence at the time of their death. Of course, she was buried with her married name and there was no record of her maiden, which I assume is standard in a cemetery's records. Anyway, to make a long story short, I found her last address at the time of her death.

Next, I searched archives to find her death registration which listed the coroner, cause of death, and actual date of death. So I have this information.

What I am now looking for is something listing her maiden name. I have my great-grandfather's death certificate from 1940, and it contained spots for both the father's and mother's names, including the mother's surname. Unfortunately, since she died so young and the family remaining never met her, the area which should have been filled in with her information was left blank.

So now I'm wondering what a death certificate from 1885 looks like from Philadelphia, and if like the 1940 one, would also request her parent's names. The other question I have is, if infant dies and did not pass at least a year in age, were they issued death certificates as well? I'm thinking of not only requesting Sallie's death certificate, but Albert Eisenhower's as well, although he did not turn up on any death index. I also don't know if I should try to request Sallie's marriage certificate as well. These are a few items I'm thinking could contain her maiden name, and perhaps if Albert was indeed her child. Like I said, I'm trying to find something listing her surname.

Basically, what I have tried to lay out here, is the information I have, and if a fellow genealogist could tell me if this information is enough to request other certificates, and which ones I should be looking for which may contain a maiden name.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give. It is immensely appreciated!

Sincerely,

Al Pellecchia

Wm. EISENHOWER (1843/4-1870s) of Berks Co PA

Diana_Gale_Matthiesen — 26 Sep 2005 10:19:16 GMT

Seeking parents of William EISENHOWER (b. 1843/4, PA), who married Catharine "Kate" BOYER (b. Apr 1849, Richmond Twp., Berks Co., PA), daughter of Levi BOYER & Elizabeth WANNER. William & Catharine are in the 1870 census of Oley Twp., Berks Co., PA, then William dies and Catharine marries second to James M. HOMAN. William & Catharine had these children:

1. Barbara EISENHOWER, b. 1866/7; m. Mr. SCHOENER
2. Mary EISENHOWER, b. Oct 1868; m. Elwood B. STRAUB
3. William P. EISENHOWER, b. Jun 1871

In looking for William EISENHOWER in the 1860 census to find him living with his parents, there seem to be two possibilities, the first more likely than the second:

William & Catharine (MacHAMER) EISENHOWER in Runscombmanor Twp., Berks Co., PA

or...

Samuel & Mary EISENHOWER in Union Twp., Schuylkill Co., PA.

Does anyone know if either of the above is correct? Or, if not, who his parents actually are?
