Brynne, are you still getting replys off of the message board? Sorry about the delay in answering have had a rather bad year with illness in the family and a change of E-mail address.

Christine (Motts) Hursh appears to be her actual name with Chrissie as a kind of diminutive name. Sine I put this message up here have obtained several photos of her and the family in Stroudsburg. She was my grandmother on my father's side.

The info I have on her is on my web page at:

Hi Cynthia,

I have some information on Chrissie Motts Hursh. She was the sister of my great grandmother Katherine Motts Edwards. (I guess that makes us very distantly related?) I know that their parents Jacob Motts and Ellen (Dauber) Motts lived in a Sciota, a small town south of Stroudsburg, PA. Our family Bible has the following people listed as their children:

Charles Motts
Steven Motts
Alvin Motts
Frank Motts
Christine (a?) Motts Hursh
Carolyn Motts Bartholomew
Katherine Motts Edwards
Jennie Motts Shick

My mother recently told me some interesting stories regarding the death of Jacob and Ellen relayed to her by my great grandmother. Feel free to email me if you would more info or have questions.
