WILLIAM BROWN / RUTH LANE FAMILY: William, b. 1758. They lived in Bedford County (in the part that became Huntingdon County in 1787 and today is known as Blair County, Tyrone Township), PA prior to 1778. Had one child when the county was Bedford (William Brown Jr., b. 1781). Joshua, b. 1787; Elisha, b. 10 July 1795; Elijah H., b. 1797. The dates may have some errors.

Christian and Christiana Betz reared a family of 10 children on a farm near/in Jennerstown, Somerset CO., PA. Who were Christian and Christiana? Where & when were they born...in U.S. or in Europe?

I am researching the Shaffer name. The earliest I have found in William Shaffer and his wife Sarah. In 1960 they were located in East Providence, Bedford County. There children were Levi, Mary, Daniel, Amos & Sarah. My gg grandfather, Levi's obituary states he was born in Everett, Bedford county - is this the same place? He later moved and settled in Indiana County. I know William was born in PA from the census but I don't believe it was in Bedford. I would like to know his wife's Sarah's maiden name and when they got married. The 1860 census states William was 33 and Sarah was 42 that seems backwards for the times. Any and all information regarding William, his ancestors, decendants, siblings and wife would be greatly appreciated.Beverly Jamison Sun Nov 17 11:43:12 1996
