Searching county of birth for John Rosier, Sr., born 1785,Pa., county unknown. Possibly connected to John and Elizabeth Rowzer/Rosier of Bedford County cited in the Genealogical Society of Pa's Colonial Records, V.12, p. 377 as having had six children: John, Hannah, Isaac, Joseph, Rachel, Rebekka. Searching for proof that the John Rosier, Sr., born 1785, Pa., who died 1867 Parkton, Baltimore County, Md., was the son, grandson, or nephew of one of Elizabeth's sons.

Subject: query: Barnabas ValentineBarnabas Valentine (1757-1831) was kidnapped in 1771 as a boy in Ireland by a ship's crew and brought to America. He escaped, probably in Baltimore or Philadelphia and somehow became indentured to Reverend Tompson Smith. In 1777, a Robert King and his brother purchased Barnabas indenture from Smith so Barnabas could enlist in the 10th Pennsylvania Regiment as their substitute. Barnabas was enlisted by Lieutenant John Steele,possibly in Lancaster, and he served until 1783 when he was discharged at Princeton,New Jersey. I have his military and pension records, records of a private bill introduced in Congress to grant him land,and records of an lifetime annuity granted him by the Pennsylvania Assembly.Barnabas apparently married in 1783. He reared a family of ten children, but I know not where. He shows up in Mifflin County on the tax rolls for 1807, and is there until 1820 when he sell his farm and moves to Ohio. I would appreciate any information on the missing years, 1783-1807.

John + Emma Nace grandparents lived in Girard, Ohio (near Youngstown); probably born around 1880, and had relatives around Lancaster and Columbia. A brief library peek found George Nace of ? Pa. county in 1790 Census. And the David Bricker info mentions a George Nace married to a Holstine daughter - in a time frame match to that census.

Subject: Gibson genealogy
I am descended from the union of Isabella Huston and James Gibson. Isabella is the daughter of Samuel and Isabella Sharon Huston--both parents died in Cumberland County, PA, but I believe he father was born in Lancaster. Any information I can find regarding either of her parents would be appreciated, but I am especially interested in the ancestory of James Gibson as I joined DAR on his service while in TN although I believe he was active in the Revolutionary War while still living in PA. I will be deeply grateful for any suggestions for research or help you can offer and will be delighted to share all the information I have been able to accumulate regarding the descendants of the Gibson/Huston union.
