LEMKE, GASATRUCK - Perry Co.
I am searching for place of origin for George LEMKE. George and his sister Mary
(Gasatruck) settled in Liverpool area of Perry Co. George is buried in a small
cemetery in Foultz Valley. There was an Evangelical Lutheran Church once at the
site. I think it was St. Peter's Church. It is believed that they came over to
the USA in 1845 with Philadelphia as the port of entry. Thank You. Searcher

MALEY/MEALY, HARPER - Perry Co.
Searching for any information on the descendents of Samuel MALEY/MEALY, b. 1755
Donegal, Ireland. Served in the 6th Battalion, Pa Troops, Revolutionary War.
Married Margaret Harper 17 Nov 1777 in Hopewell, York Co. They lived in Tyrone
Twp. Cumberland Co. (Perry Co.) from 1780 to 1800, then moved to West VA. I am
interested in the families of two of their sons, Samuel b. 15 Nov 1778 &
William b. 14 Aug 1780. My 3rd great grandfather, PETER MALEY, lived in Penn
Twp. Perry Co. in 1850 and Boiling Springs, Cumberland Co. in 1837. Peter was
born 21 Mar 1800. Is Peter a son of Samuel or William? All three of Peter's sons
had sons named William. No Samuel's though. Willing to share any information I

ROBISON, MCMILLAN, ELLIOTT, SANDERSON - Perry Co.
My 4-Great-Grandfather was George ROBISON, born ca/ 1727 in Coleraine, Ulster.
He came to the U.S. in the mid-1700's and settled in Tyrone Twp., near Roseburg,
Perry Co. Pa. His wife is unknown, but she may have been Elizabeth. George died
in Perry Co. ca. 1798. They had six children:
Thomas, b. 1764 d. 1852 m. 1) 13 Jan 1789 Agnes MCMILLAN, 2) Nancy ELLIOTT (3
children?)
Robert, b. 1767 d. 1834
Margaret d.1843? m. 7 Aug 1789 to Alexander SANDERSON
Nancy b. 1770 d. 1842
Mary m. 25 Jun 1793 to William ROBINSON (5 children?)
Elizabeth m. William SANDERSON
The above may not necessarily be correct in all details. The George of
Robinson's Fort was apparently also born in 1727 d. 1814 so this date may be
suspect for my George. My George is not Capt. George Robinson, nor the
proprieter of George Robinson Fort. Any details on any of the above folks will
be deeply appreciated. Thanks.

HOFFMAN, JACOB Desperately seeking a Jacob HOFFMAN. Jacob was the father of a
Jesse Quimby Hoffman. We do not know where either was born- all certificates say
"USA". An early family biography says we came from Pennsylvania. We
know son Jesse was born in 1819 (Cumberland?- which could be NJ or PA?). He
married a Mary CARMAN, moved through NJ and ended in NYC. Jacob may have had
another son, Lewis, married to a "Margaret" with two children,
Benjamin and Amanda, both born around 1850. Name of Jacob's wife is a mystery
also. Any help would be appreciated. August 18, 1997 Henry Jesse Hoffman, Jr.

NICHODEMUS of Perry co:
Conrad NICHODEMUS returned 2 PA warrants, one on 12 Feb 1813 for 164 acres, 24
perches in Morrison Cove. The 2nd was returned 30 Aug 1813 for 204 acres, 2
perches on the north side of Tuscarora Creek. Would like any info on any early
NICHODEMUS or NICODUMUS in Juniata Co. Also the location of Morrison Cove which
I would assume would be on or near Tuscarora Creek in Junita Co. or perhaps the
headwaters of Tuscarora Creek in Huntington Co. The only other info I have is
that a Mrs. Conrad Nicodemus is on page 345 of the Commemorative Encyclopedia of
the Juniata Valley. This is from an index by the Perry Historians & I do not
have access to the actual page.
