Looking for information on a female BEELER who was at the Cloisters as of 30 March 1773. There is a Christopher Beeler who died in Hampshire county, VA: Christopher Beeler who left a will probated in Fairfax Co. but states that said Chris. Beeler is "of Hampshire Co., Va." Hampshire Co. was formed 1754 from Frederick Co. Abstract of his will found in Book D. Fairfax Court House Va. p. 29, written 30 March 1773 and proved at the June term of Court 1779, follows: Christopher Beeler, now of Hampshire Co., Va.; no wife is ment. Children named, Joseph, Benjamin, Samuel, Frederick, "to my dau. Mary & her chil. the tract of land which she now lives on bounded by New Cr. & No. branch of the Potomac," Benjamin has no heirs & his legacy is entailed in case he leaves no issue. Money arising from the sale of his house in Alexandria, Va. is to be given to his sis. in the Cloisters in Lancaster, Pa. for taking care of his dau. Catherine when she was there in sickness, & the remainder of money from the sale, is to be divided amongst all his gr. chil. I believe his son, Joseph ended up in Westmoreland county. There he is involved with a Catherine Stacy w/o Peter Stacy and Mary Higgs at the time of the death of Jonathan Higgs. What interests me is that the Catherine and Mary may be the daughters of Christopher. Apparently, from the above will, Christopher had a sister at the Cloisters in Lancaster. Does anyone have any information on her? Thanks! Jenny

HAINES, HAINS or HANES - I Can't believe after looking at many queries, I've found NO HAINES ! I thought Lancaster County was suppose to be crawling with HAINES'. Our family is suppose to have come from Lancaster County about1820 but I don't know the names of my gr,gr grandfather's parents. His name was Isaac Haines, born January 25, 1812 in PA and married in Clark County, Oh to Lydia Coleman Harrison on February 15, 1834. Isaac had at least two older brothers, John and Jacob. I'm searching for Isaac's parents and any other family members.
