LARGE posted by Duane Large on Thursday, March 2, 2000

I am looking for any information about a John LARGE family who appear in the 1810 Census for Allegheny Township, Armstrong County, PA. I suspect that this family may be my ancestors and I am looking for additional information regarding them. I believe that family was living in Allegheny County at the time of the 1800 census. Since this particular John LARGE family does not appear in the 1820 Census for Armstrong or Allegheny Counties , I suspect that moved on west, possibly to the Licking and Franklin County, Ohio. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Trying to establish when and where my ggrandfather, BERNARD "Barney" MC GONIGLE died. I have found him in 1900 Census, West Franklin Township, Armstrong Co.

Alice is in Clayville Borough, Jefferson Co. with all 6 kids. It is hard to read because it was written over, but it looks like she lists herself as Widow, married 17 years. Could anyone help me discover how to find out when and where Barney died? I have been going around in circles. Thank you so much. Sarah

JACK, TRUBY posted by David Kifer on Saturday, March 18, 2000

I am looking for information on the parents of Samuel Smith Jack (b. 8 Apr 1842, d. 10 Dec 1909), married (23 Feb 1865, Apollo) to Hanna Ulam Truby (b. abt. 1846, d. 27 Dec 1902). I found Samuel Smith Jack in the 1850 Census, at age eight years old, living in Kiskiminetas Twp ARMSTRONG Co with Head of Household Samuel Jack (age 21) and Catherine Jack (age 22). This implies that Samuel and Catherine started a family at the ripe old age of 12/13. I wonder now if Samuel and Catherine were siblings of Samuel Smith, rather than parents, raising their younger siblings after some kind of catastrophe taking both of their parents. Anyone have anything on this JACK family?

BOWSER, CHRISTENSEN, CUREY, HILL, HILLS, KUNZ, LITTLE, MCANINCH, MCCRACKEN posted by Lorna Gilbert on Sunday, March 19, 2000

HENRY McANINCH b. 1801 in Armstrong County PA m. ELIZABETH BOWSER b. 1804; five known children: NELSON, PETER (my great-grandfather), GEORGE, NANCY, SUSAN, all b. PA. Entire family appears in 1856 Jackson County, Iowa census; states all born PA and had been there "two years." So maybe they left PA in 1854 (if they went straight to Iowa) or at least sometime between 1845 (youngest daughter NANCY's estimated PA birthdate) and 1856 to show up on this Iowa census. Then the entire family shows up in 1860 Iron County Missouri census; father HENRY is a hotel-keeper. After 1860 I lose track of parents Henry and Elizabeth and daughter Susan. However, PETER McANINCH (my great-grandfather) and his brother GEORGE enlisted in the Union army, Civil War, in Jackson County Iowa in 1862; Also NELSON McANINCH shows up in Jackson County IA 1870 census married to MARGARET McCRACKEN, also b. PA (they had ten children)and NANCY McANINCH marries ORVILLE CURRENT in Jackson County Iowa also i! n the early 1870s. I also believe that HENRY McANINCH m. ELIZABETH BOWSER had daughters JANE McANINCH LITTLE and LAVINIA McANINCH KUNZ (not sure of Kunz spelling) and possibly another unnamed daughter, probably all also b. PA and possibly married in PA also, but that has yet to be proved. PETER McANINCH (my great-grandfather) and his brother GEORGE McANINCH ended up in Sioux County, IA where they raised their families; PETER married (1) ELIZA CUREY and had one son SHERMAN McANINCH; married (2)ROSA HILL/S and had two sons (one of them my grandfather JAMES HENRY McANINCH b. 1877 m. MARY aka ANN MARIE CHRISTENSEN) and two daughters. E-mail me at LGtex@e-mail.msn.com; I have lots of info I'm willing to share.
