Hi again! I forgot to mention the names of the children born to Jonathan Case and Mariah Cox: All born in PA, just possibly in Catawissa, Columbia County, PA and showed up again in 1850 in Roscoe, Winnebago, Illinois. These are the children whose mother (my fourth great-grandmother) Maria Cox or possibly Sarah Mariah Cox - we can't find. Sarah Case b.1830; Charles Case b. 1833, m. Martha Grason George Case b.1835; Martha Case b. 1838 m. Joseph Caspni;Harriet Case b. 1840 (my third great-grandmother); and William J. Case b. 1846 in Illinois. We have been looking for over a year for Jonathan Case' wife, Maria or Mariah or Sarah Mariah Cox.....(one record has him married to an Anna Fox from Spruce Hollow PA but that didn't pan out) perhaps a first wife...sure feels good to be connected to others on a Pennsylvania heritage journey. Thanks. Kathleen

Hello I am new to the group and have been researching my maternal roots that seem to come out of NJ, but more strongly PA with surnames  Adam Case/Deats, Adam Case/Opdycke, Jonathan Case/Cox. Jonathan Case m. Mariah or Maria Cox and they had six children all born in PA - we can't seem to locate the Cox history at all which makes us wonder if she might have been native American. Sharing. Thanks. Kathleen

One of my favorite sites is the Berks County Association for Graveyard Preservation on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/media/albums/?id=150047911461 -

Here you can dig through their albums and find headstone pictures; note - as they are doing cemetery restoration and preservation, they are not creating individual memorials on FindAGrave.com

Hi.  I am researching William Williams and his wife Jemima (Russell), who was born about 1806 PA, and died probably 1859-1874.  They had children John Williams b. 1841, PA, and Eliza (Cartwright).  I have not found them in any census.  I have nothing on William Williams.  I'm guessing he was born in PA.

Was wondering if anyone could help me with my brick wall? My great grandfather, David Thomas Lloyd was born 23 May 1862 in PA. That is all I can find out. His mother and father were born in Wales and so far have not found when they came to the US. David had one brother born in MD, there were five children born in PA and three in OH. His father was Thomas B. Lloyd, born about 1826. I understand he was a coal miner. If anyone could help me I would be so grateful. This was a brick wall that also bothered my sister. She died in  2006 and I have since taken over trying to complete this family tree on my mother's side. She will never know as she has Alzheimers but I want to finish this for my brother and two remaining sisters.
