- CLARY, CLEARY, CONNORS posted by Diane Perkins on Wednesday, March 8, 2000
- Hi to all, I am seeking ANY information I can find on the James Clary (wife Jane)family that appears on the 1870 Emporium Borough census. Three children are listed. Delaphan age 8 is listed as being born in England, but his obituary says he was born in Emporium on June 9, 1870. Is there a birth record for C. D. Clary (Cleary) in Emporium? The family was catholic. What happened to James, his wife Jane is later found married to a P Connors. She was buried in Emporium at St. Mark's cemetery on Feb. 23, 1904. I am having trouble establising whether Jane was a sister to Thomas Cleary of Emporium as her obituary states or if she was a sister-in-law to Thomas and her husband James was a brother to Thomas. Does anyone have any information on her second husband a "P Connors"? Thank you!.

Six sons, two daughters born 1891-1905, Shippen Twp. Also, looking for descendants of Harvey E. Smith and Edith E. Clontz, married 10/20/1892 in Sinnemahoning. Harvey was the son of Sam and Martha Smith; Edith was the daughter of Jonathan and Nancy Clontz. One son, Ellery, b.3/10/1896, daughters: Artha, b. 7/13/1893; Freda, b. 1/22/1899 and Edith, b. 1/17/1901, d. 2/20/1901. Edith Clontz Smith d. 1/17/1901. Harvey married Eva E. Winslow 6/29/1904.

- BARR posted by Walt Dean on Saturday, March 18, 2000
- Checking Jacob Barr's Army service Record in the 84th from Cameron county, it has him in hospital "Union Hotel" in Winchester, VA fom 11 May 1862 until September 1863. The town is noted as changing hands 73 times during 4 years of the war and Jacob has a Prisoner of War form dated 26 May 1862 when Stonewall Jackson took the town just after Jacob was listed in hospital. The "List of Sick and Wounded Soldiers of Penna. Regiments In 6th Corps Hospital Winchester Va. No Dates- Following Regiments are Represented - 23d, 43d, 47h, 49h, 61st, 62d, and 67h, 82d, 87h, 93d, 95h, & 98h, 102d, 119h, 131st, 135h, 137h, 138h and 139h Regt in this list." Jacob Barr of the 84th Regiment Pennsylvania Infantry Volunteers was not listed. Also, The question has been raised by several of us, Jacob Barr descendants. He had a son William Barr born in September 1863. How often would someone in hospital be allowed to go home on furlough around Christmas 1862,and then have to return to Winchester with it changing hands so often? In September1863 he was listed as being in hospital in Washington, DC until January 1864 when he returned to the regiment. He fought at Battle of Wilderness and wounded in knee on 10 May 1864 while attacking the Confederate fortifications known as the Mule Shoe. The next day he was back in hospital in Washington, DC and later transferred to hospital in York, PA until discharged 5 December 1864.

- LORD, RICHEY, YOUND posted by Dee Zito on Tuesday, March 28, 2000
- I'm searching for the parents and/or siblings of Albert LORD 1832-1916 m. Elizabeth RICHEY 1838-1927, and Emmett LORD b. ~1836 m. Rebecca YOUND b. 1835. Does anyone know if Albert and Emmett are brothers? It seems likely, as they live in adjacent households in the 1870 census and were both born in NY.
I have this newspaper clipping from the Cameron County Press, "Old Veteran Calls," ~1910:
"Mr. Albert Lord, of Cameron, came to Emporium last Friday to transact some business and celebrate his 77th birthday by calling on his old friends in town. The PRESS was one of the favored ones to enjoy a visit from the old veteran. We are always proud to wlecome, at any time, those patriots--sometimes called in 1863, by the copperheads, "Lincoln's Hirelings"--who suffered privations that this, the grandest government on the face of the earth, should not perish. We always feel like downing our hat when we pass by one of those patriots.
"Veteran Lord came to Cameron county in 1855 from Delaware county, NY, and located at Sinnamahoning (then Clinton county). He enlisted at the outbreak of the rebellion in the 148th Penna Infantry, under Gen'l Jas. A. Beaver. Mr. Lord was confined in southern prisons for seven months, and of course has suffered considerably from the effects of starvation and disease. Hope he may live to celebrate his 97th anniversary."
Any and all information on Albert or Emmett LORD and their families welcome. Thanks. Dee
