Thanks for answering. My question is: Do you know where I can find tax records for Dauphin/Lebanon county ,Pa for years 1788-1790? The years below of tax list I found in a book by Luther Kalker=History of Dauphin co.
I have a possible Hessian soldier who was "farmed out" in Dauphin co in 1777-he deserted then returned to that area. Have found tax records for him 1783, in 1785 he signed a petition re county seat, 1785, 1786,1787 he was on tax lists as "inmate" in Lebanon twp area. Then I lost him. First I thought he was in jail when listed as inmate then after reading found he was a "renter".
Will in future you be doing any classes on Hessians soldiers? His name was Christoph Ackman/Ackerman

Sorry to be so slow in answering. As far as I know, Robert Ferguson's father was John but he was married to Margery Gillan who was born in Ireland. This John Ferguson's father was also a John who was married to Jean Rankin. Not sure where they were born, but I do have a marriage date and place in Ireland. As far as I know these Fergusons were not in eastern PA or if they were it was not for very long. Still have a number of empty bits of info to find!!
Jim a Hematoma is what I had on my chin as infant and radiation was used to remove or I would have bled to death. MOM kept my hands in socks until I was about 3 years old most of the time. I was 6 Mos when Denver Children's hospital worked on me. Blessings and hope he heals quickly.
Hi, JIm. My Great Grandmother Mary Marie Snook 1866-1939 born in Indiana. Her father Charles Scott Snook 1836-1921, born in Ohio. His father Joab Snook, 1794-1868, born in New Jersey. All are buried in Indiana.
Hi Jim,
My Bartels line came from Martfeld, Germany, a small town between Hannover & Bremen. My great-grandfather came to the US in 1885, at the age of 14, and went to Clarinda, Page County, Iowa where he stayed the rest of his life. I had an historian do some research in the Martfeld Lutheran Church books a few years ago, and he found info on 6 additional generations of my ancestors - but he didn't look into the siblings of my direct line (it probably would have cost too much anyway). I wish I had that info now, because I have not been able to tie into anyone else's research or help anyone tie into my research as a result. I don't think any of our Bartels line ended up in Pennsylvania, but again, I can't be sure of it. Thanks for the note - Kathy in TX.
Most of the Carr family settled in Wheeling, West Virginia -- but that is close to Pa and I don't know enough about the extended family of the Carr's. My husband's dad was the first to be born in US -- Bruceton, Pa.
PA family is on my husband's mom's side -- Shriner/Russin, Lambert/Hands

Thanks Jim, I will certainly e-mail him. Again, thanks. Very much appreciated.
About the Darlings;
No, my Darlings are only the second generation of Darlings. My husband's grandfather was born Howard Herman Davidovitch, 5 May 1885 in Wisconsin, he married his first wife with that name, and his first son, was also born with that name. At some point he became involved with Vaudeville and changed Davidovitch to Darling. It was as Howard Herman Darling that he married his second wife Ruth Theresa Kahn, and they had a son Jay Allen, who is my husband's father. So we have no Darlings in Vermont.
Hi Jim,
Sorry it took so long to get back to you, have been having some major computer malfunctions lately. About the Burns side of my family, To be honest with you I don't really know. My Burns roots are still a messy tangle that I am trying to untangle. My father is William Montgomery Burns, the youngest and only surviving child of Nola Sirena (Cantwell) and Jerome Kirby (J.K.) Burns. They were married on 4 Apr 1921 in Hobart, Ok. J.K. left the family in or around 1933-1934, either just before my dad was born (29 Nov 1933) or shortly after. My grandparents subsequently divorced. My dad didn't meet his father until he was in the Marine Corp. around 1951 or 1952, and saw him only the one time. The breaking up of the family left bitter feelings, so when J.K. died on 30 Apr 1966 my father, who had only met him the one time, and my Uncle Gene's wife Lulu, who had never met him, were the only ones who were willing to go and bury him, and they did so in Fresno, where he died. What I do know is that Jerome Kirby Burns was born on 10 Feb 1898, in Paris, Lamar County, Texas. His father was Henry B. Burns, his mother's maiden name may have been Williams, and it is possible that she may have come from Louisianna. He had one brother that I have located so far who's name was Will, or maybe William, and that is pretty much all that I know at this point. I don't know if that is at all helpful to you, if and when I find out more I would be happy to share it with you.
I saw your pictures on flickr - did you read my comment? My grandfather was very interested in Gettysburg and did a lot of research on it. Unfortunately my brother got his things so I never got to look at it. I have not been to Gettysburg since I was a kid. I will have to go again someday. Jim Thorpe is close to me so I could take some pictures there.
Moulton Kleckner was the son of Peter Kleckner and Caroline George. Peter's father was John (Johan) Nickolas Kleckner who was my ggggg grandfather. Peter was a half brother to my gggg grandfather Casper.
I found more info on Moulton A Kleckner from Bethlehem at
www.duke.edu/~hrxwca/mcphotographers.htm
The text is as follows and there is also a photograph:
M.A. Kleckner was a prolific stereophotographer operating in Mauch Chunk from around 1869 until around 1875.� A Moravian and born in Bethlehem, PA, Kleckner began his career by taking photographs and stereoviews in and around the Bethlehem area, later branching out to other neighboring locales, including Mauch Chunk and Panther Valley.� Prior to moving to Mauch Chunk, Kleckner was working out of Allentown. By 1879, Kleckner moved to Atchison, Kansas, continuing to pursue his photography career. Kleckner died circa 1930 in Kansas.
Notice tax stamp required during the 1861-65 period on reverse with initials 'MAK'. One cannot be certain that Kleckner was actually in Bethlehem during this period or whether he was only usually older card stock.
While in Mauch Chunk, his studios were in the Mansion House on Susquehanna Steet. Kleckner photographed a number of very important scenes in and around Mauch Chunk during a pivotal time in the town's transition from a coal terminus to a more tourist oriented location. For example, he chronicled the coal schutes at Mauch Chunk prior, during and after their removal (1872). Kleckner produced several series of stereoviews while in Mauch Chunk and Bethlehem:
Lehigh Valley Views - Mauch Chunk and Vicinity
Views on the Line of the Lehigh Valley RR - A Trip Around the Switch-Back RR
Kleckner's Stereoscopic Gems of the Lehigh and Wyoming Valleys.
Kleckner stereoviews were most often on yellow card mounts, in either regular or cabinet card size. Occasionally, one finds Kleckner using light green card stock popular with photographers in the late 1860s. The quality of his photographs is excellent, showing great clarity and depth.
For a listing of some Kleckner stereoviews (from series listings from card reverses) and examples of his work, click here.
