My gt-gt-gt grandfather John SHRYER married Christianna
FETTER in Allegany Co. MD on 6/1/1795. A genealogy forum ventures that
Christianna was born in Hagerstown MD. Christianna was evidently underage
because a "letter" supported her right to marry. Beyond their marriage, we can
find no documentation supporting Christianna's birth, parents, siblings, etc.,
nor any formal listing of John and Christianna's children. Any help would be

Hello &
THANK YOU everyone who sent me information relating to S.T. Little Jewelers. I
was wondering if any of you might know of or have access to listings or records
of any sort relating to my POOLE ancestors, who are as follows (note that the
spelling was POOL until mid- 19th century, when it transformed to POOLE for some
reason--some of these fellows used both spellings) Denton POOL, born in England,
married in Bedford County PA somewhere around 1800-1810 Denton's son Samuel POOL
(1816-1877, roughly, born in Cumberland) who married Margaret BLANKNEY
SAMUEL/Margaret's son Arthur Atkinson POOLE (1842-1928, born in Cumberland),
married Laura V. FRENCH I would love to know if Arthur had siblings, and if
Denton or Samuel are buried anywhere in Allegany County--would probably have
been in Cumberland, since they lived there for many decades (or their wives--I
think, but am not sure, that Denton's wife was Elizabeth Barnes). ANY assistance
or hints or resources you can think of will be most gratefully received. When I
get all of this straightened out, I will post the entire POOLE genealogy, so
people can see if anything links up (have to figure out how to do this--am not
very computer savvy). Thanks so much--Elizabeth

The Christ Church marriage records of

born 22 Dec 1830, but seems to have died before 1840. The 1850 census has a wife
named Sarah, so I am assuming that Rebecca RIZER BENNETT had died. But where is

Hello, I am trying to confim the family of my

(TERNENT) MOONEY in Lonaconing, MD. 1880 Census has the family with James age
31, Elizabeth 24, Andrew 5, James 4, and Michael 1. 1900 census still in
Lonaconing, now with more children but no Michael. He would be about 21 and may
have left home as his brother James 24 and married and in Lonaconing. By 1920
Elizabeth was a widow and living in Turtle Creek PA, with sons Daniel A. and
David A. I can not find Michael on any census until he is married to my
gggrandmother by 1915 and living in Monroe County Rochester,NY. I am fairly
certain that the above is his family since years ago an Uncle Dan (his brother)
came up to visit. He came up from Turtle Creek PA and said the family came from
Lonaconing, MD. Is anyone familar with this family? Can anyone give me any ideas
