I have an old family photo that states "Grandchildren of Christ Raver.Julie Books'kids".
I can't find a record of Christian Raver having a daughter Julie - only a son Wavel.
There are three children in the photo 2 girls and a baby.Any ideas?

Mary Alice Raver from Decatur, Indiana was my father's sister.Their parents were Abraham Raver and Effie Carpenter.The family called her Alice instead of Mary. My dad was Raymond. If you are Aunt Alice's granddaughter just ask your family about Uncle Ray.
If we are talking about the same Mary Alice I would love to share more family history.I even have a photo album of grandma Effie's - so I have pictures I can share.

Re: Mary Raver/Valentine Bowers (Check this out!!!)

JanisKay88 — 2008-10-30 22:29:27Z

Please contact me concerning George Raber/Raver born in 1822.He was my great grandfather and I can not find any record of his parents. I belive Christina born in 1821 was his sister - she moved to Adams County Indiana from Ohio about the same time.
I suspect they are children of Cordon and Elizabeth Raber/Reber. If not children than close relatives because George and Elizabeth (now Creitzer) cross paths a lot. Also according to the 1830 census Elizabeth had children George and Christina's ages.

My dad was one of Abraham's sons.He referred to Christian as uncle Christ(Pronounced Crist).Some of the family history you have is in complete because of bad records.My father was Abraham and Effie's youngest son - his name was Raymond.The doctor put Melvin on birth certificate.I have some old family photos I could mail or fax if you are interested.

Margie,

You might remember that I traded a couple of messages with you a few months ago about the Lang and Brunner families. I was in the Lawrenceburg Library recently and viewed the records for damage claims made after Morgan's Raid. I noticed that Barbara Lang submitted a claim for a horse valued at $135.00. There was no record of what was actually paid out by the State Just a little item to add to your family history.

They died here around 1900-10. I have all the info of were they came from in Germany and all their children, one who was my grandmother. I thank you in advance if you can connected them to the Brunners of KY. and OHIO.

Re: George W Raver

lkint_1 — 2006-12-29 21:40:13Z

Since posting this I've learned that George W Raver was the son of Michael and Elizabeth Raver. He also had an older brother (name unknown), and an older sister Leah, who married John C Leibig. The 1820 census shows Michael Raver and his family living in Freeburg, Washington Twp., Union County, but by 1830 they were established in Catawissa Twp., Columbia County. Does anyone have any records of where Michael Raver might have originated from?

Solomon Raver (Reber), Fairfield Co, OH

2006-10-02 15:31:35Z

The IGI shows 30 Mar 1862 Fairfield Co, OH marriage:
Georgiann Campbell to Solomon Reber.

I believe this Georgiann is d/o George & Unk.
1860 Liberty Twp, Fairfield Co, OH
George W Campbell 39 DC cooper
Georgianna 16 OH
John 10 OH
James 5 OH

Also:
1860 Violet, Fairfield Co, OH
Frederick Raver (?) 63 PA
Catharine 59 VA
Rebecca 27 OH
Solomon 24 OH
Caroline 2 OH
Is this the same as Solomon Reber? Could this Caroline be his daughter from a previous marriage?

In 1870, I cannot find Solomon or Georgiann. Perhaps she died without having living children. In 1870, I do find:
1870 Violet, Fairfield Co, OH
Jonathan Boyer 61 farmer PA
Lydia 55 OH
John Campbell 20 day labor OH
Caroline Raver 13 school OH
Is this John Campbell the brother of Georgiann and is Caroline his step-niece?

If anyone can shed some info on what happened to these Campbell children (Georgiann and John) I'd be so appreciative.
The father, George remarried and went to Maryland. Son James also went to MD/DC.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, I do apologize for the length.

I am transcribing the Evergreen Cemetary in Ontario, Malheur Co., Oregon and thought I would post pictures of the Pre-1900 headstones for those interested in having them. This is a very large cemetary, there is a possibility there could be other family members buried here after this time period. If you are interested in them, I can look for them specifically.

Hi Lee,

I've been researching Elizabeth Raver born about 1816 in PA, married in Huron County OH in 1838 and lived in Seneca County Ohio. I'm guessing that she might a daughter of Jacob Raver and Susanna Beisel. Other Raver wedding records in Huron County Ohio are Peter Raver and Abby Raver, both in 1834. I think that Jacob Raver was in Columbia Co., PA in the 1820 census, so perhaps these families are all related. I'll send you an email with more details.

best,
Gail

Mary Raver/Valentine Bowers (Check this out!!!)

NancyRalph — 2006-08-27 01:19:58Z

Bowers,Valentine(defendant) and Bowers,Mary nee Raver(plaintiff) married 1819 Fairfield County Ohio By Valuntine Donaldson,divorced 6/3/1839 she was abandoned. While Valentine was still married to Mary he married circa 1832 to Lizzie Kistler and had several children. I have both Bowers and Ravers in my line.From Fairfield County I don't know where Mary fits in. Nancy

NancyRalph — 2006-08-27 01:19:58Z

Did you know that William Raver son of Frederick Married Barabara Bowers? I wonder where Valentine fits in? Nancy

Re: Mary Raver/Valentine Bowers (Check this out!!!)

NancyRalph — 2006-08-27 01:19:58Z

Thanks that looks like the Raver brothers and sisters married the Bowers brothers and sisters. I'll bet if you look them up in the census they live next door to each other. That's not a question just a thought. They seemed to have married whoever was convenient back then. Nancy

Re: Herbert Raver and Erna

2005-10-30 22:28:37Z

The answer is yes. See the 1880 & 1900 censuses for Violet Twp., Fairfield County. I can't find Elza's parents, though. Any hints?

Solomon Raver

2005-09-19 07:27:12Z

Solomon was born about 1804 and first shows in the 1830 and 1840 censuses for Mifflin Twp., Columbia County, PA. In 1850, he's living a few miles away in Nescopeck, Luzerne County. It appears he died between 1850 and 1860 because his widow Susan was married to Samuel Miller and living in Seneca County OH in 1860. Two teen-age Raver sons were with her: William and Nathan. Does anyone know anything about this family - especially Solomon's parents?

I have nothing on Raver but would be happy to trade any information on the Morningstar line.

Lydia is the daughter of Solomon Morningstar and Mary Yost. She is one of 11 children. I have more on the Morningstar line, but since this is a Raver message board it may not be appropriate to post it here. Feel free to e-mail me to exchange information.

Re: Alternate spellings of Raver

Don_Raver — 2005-01-15 17:26:40Z

Prior to about 1820 english record makers used several variations of the Raver spelling. The most common variation is REBER - used extensively in York and Centre Counties.

Almost anything goes. I have see REVER, RIEVER, RIEBER, RABER, RAEBER, RIEBER.

George W Raver

lkint_1 — 2005-05-02 18:56:59Z

I'm looking for any information on George W Raver of Pennsylvania. He was born in 1824 in Rush Township in (I'm assuming) Columbia County. He married Angelina Bird and had seven children, all born in Catawissa Twp, Columbia County. The children are Joseph, Charles W, Westley E, Sylvanous, Mary M, Elizabeth M, and Carrie. George W died December 10, 1889. I have no further information and would like to find out his parents, etc. If anyone has any info I'd appreciate it.

Alternate spellings of Raver

lkint_1 — 2005-05-02 18:56:59Z

Has anyone come across alternate spellings of Raver in their family searches? I am still struggling to get beyond George W. Raver who was born in 1824 in PA, and there were not that many Ravers living in PA at that time. I am wondering if anyone knew if the Raver name had been adapted from anything else. Just wondering ...

Fred Reber/Reaver/Raver ca. 1800

LeeReber — 2003-10-22 04:24:09Z

I've been researching a Frederick Reber who was born in Windsor Twp., PA, ca. 1756. The 1790 census locates him in Schuylkill County PA with a wife Sybilla and eight kids. Two more daughters were born during the early 1790s. Then they disappear from the Schuylkill County records. I think he shows in the 1800 census for Bedford County PA as Frederick Reaver, but then he vanishes again. Maybe that's him in the 1820 census for Violet Twp., Fairfield County, OH, as Frederick Raver. Can anyone help?

Ravers of Huron County, OH

JanettCalland99 — 2006-04-04 00:02:50Z

Looking for information regarding the Ravers of Huron County, OH. My Abbe Raver married James Rutherford in 1834 in Huron County. Would like to know who Abbe Raver's family names and where in Pennsylvania they came from and where she was born. Also if they lived in Norwalk or what part of Ohio they actually lived in at the time of Abbe's marriage to James. Would like a family history of this family, thank you.

Charles/Jerey/Ida/Elza/Ida Raver

NancyRalph — 2006-08-27 01:19:58Z

I recently ran across a picture inherited from my mother. It shows Ida Mae Raver Boring born 1878 on the back written in broken English it says,Uncle Charles Aunt Jerey or Jersy/Aunt Ida or Lide or Lida and father(Elza) and myself. Does anyone know who Uncle and Aunts are? I'm assuming they are related to Elza. Could be that one of the women is married to Charles . Elza also had a son named Charles.It is not him in the picture. This picture was probably taken in the 1920s The first woman has dark hair in a bun and is wearing a black long sleeved dress.The next lady is gray haired and wearing a bun and a long sleeved dress. The man is gray haired and wearing a white longsleeved shirt,a vest and a pocket watch with a long chain.He has a mustache. Then there is Ida Mae and next is a gray(white) haired man with a mustache wearing a long sleeved white shirt.All the people are thin and short. I know they are short because Ida was only 4' 6" and all are only a few inches taller than her.The men are half a head taller. If you have the same picture or know who these people are let me know.
