- Trying to find descendants of Fred C. Bates and Martha J. Lute Bates. Per Burnside Township 1900 census, known children are Erma, Dulcie, and Ivan. Since they were close to the borders, they may have migrated to Cambria or Indiana County.
Martha is thought to have married a Mr. Hammond, Hammon? and headed for Lock Haven around 1930.

- BLOOM, BLUM, CRITCHFIELD, FRAMPTON, HUNTER, ROLL posted by Nancy Machcinski on Saturday, September 30, 2000
- I'm still looking for info on my gggrandmother Jane Bloom daughter Of Wm.Bloom,Jr and Mary Roll. Jane married Joseph Hunter in 1841 in Clearfield. They had four children :William B.,Nepolin B, Eli B. and Phianna Condo born May 1, 1854. My question is what happened to Joseph Hunter? Found Jane in Lawrence, Ks. in 1864 she has a new last name Jane Case and another child Urias P. Case born 1864 in Lawrence. In 1867 she again marries this time to Wilder Knight of Lawrence, Ks. On the 1870 Census she is listed as head of household and Eli,Phianna and Urias are with here on New Jersey Ave. Lawrence. In 1880 Census Jane is listed with Phianna still on New Jersey Ave. Eli is married to Annie Chapman (Swedish) they have a daughter Maud and Annie's sister is with them and Urias P. Case the half brother of Eli. Went to Ks. a year ago and Jane is listed every yr. in the city directory up to and including 1898. But no record of her death can be found. Does any one know when she died? and also why a woman of the those early times would up and leave a secure family tie with her relatives and there were many to go West with two young children. Are there any desc. of Jane and Joseph's two older boys still living in the area. A nice man e-mailed about a book that contains the Bloom family history, but so far have not been able to access this book. Would greatly appreciate any info. as I have been researching this family for 10 yrs. I finally hit pay dirt back in July when I found out where in Pa. that Jane and Phianna were born.
