Surnames: Hartman, Massena, Boles, Helms, Good
I am looking to trade information with any descendants of the Helms, Good, Massena, or Hartman families of Ohio, West Virginia, or Pennsylvania.
The Massena family's daughter Ella married Samuel Helms. I have traced Ella's mother, Barbara Cramer, but cannot find ancestors of her father Samuel Massena. He was born in PA and fought for WV in the Civil War. I cannot find his date or location of death. Samuel Helms' grandfather, Benonan Helms, is also a dead end. Samuel Helms' mother is Elizabeth Boles. I am attempting to find her parents and siblings.
Ella and Samuel Helms' daughter Birdie/Bertha Helms married Louis Good. I cannot find any ancestors of Louis Good. He went by the nicknames "Gramps" and "Rolling Red." It is said that he was a hobo on the train system. He died in California.
Louis and Birdie Good's daughter Dollie married Wilbur Hartman. Wilbur is the son of Reuben Hartman and Maggie E. I have no information regarding Maggie and would like to find her maiden name. Reuben is the son of Joseph Hartman and Luanna Smith. I would like to trace the Hartman and Smith families further.
Please respond with any information, particularly regarding the Massena family. Other spellings include Mazena, Mozzena, Maseana, Mezziner, etc. It is rumored that the Massena family descended from the French General Andre Massena, however I cannot find a connection.
