living in Saville, Perry County, PA. Valentine was a blacksmith by trade and
also an innkeeper. He was a Revolutionary militiaman and may have also been a

FAIR, SHADE -Perry Co.
I am researching David Fair (b. 1812, d. aft 1850) According to the 1850 census,
he was remarried in 1849-50 to Catherine. According to the US Census of 1850 for
Shermans Dale, Perry County, PA He had at least 4 children:
Sarah Fair: b. 1831
George Fair: b. 1834
Rebecca Fair: b. 1841
Anna Mary Fair: b. march 21, 1849 (my 2nd great grandmother)
Does anybody have any information on his first wife (probably Elizabeth Shade b.
1815) or his parents?
I found an additional David Fair and a David Fair Sr. listed in the 1860 census,
but this David Fair's birthdate does not align well with the one listed in 1850,
nor does he appear to have an 11 year old daughter or wife. Also, he seems to
have the wrong occupation - Attorney.

I am researching William Ickes, born November 10, 1838 in PA, died December 16,
1906 in Newport, Perry County, PA and is buried in Newport Cemetery. His
mother's maiden name was Day (Ruth ?, the daughter of Nelson?). There is a
William Ickes in the 1860 Adams County census, occupation tailor, age 21. There
is a William Ickes in the1870 Perry County census, occupation tailor, age 32--I
am led to believe the two Williams are one and the same.
William Ickes is my gr. gr. gr. grandfather, married to Lydia Jane Wierman in
Adams County, PA in 1862. They had two children-Harry William, born March 29,
1864, and Clementine, born April 7, 1866. Lydia Jane died in September of 1866,
and for some unknown reason, William was unable to care for the children. They
were raised by their aunt, Mary E. Wierman. She moved to Williamson County,
Texas in the 1880s and took the two children with her.
I believe that William remarried to Annie (UMN) and had the following
children (from the 1870 and 1880 Perry County, Newport Borough, census, and
information received from the Perry Historians): Mary (Minnie Mary?) 1868-1870,
Turic S. 1871-1936, and William O. 1875-1909.

VAUGHN/VAWN, BOLINGER, RICHARDSON - Perry,Mifflin,Juniata Co's.
My great-great grandfather was Frederick Vaughn/Vawn 1826-1899, married to
Katherine Bolinger 1822-1973, they had the following children: Mary, William
Franklin, John D., Hannah J., Frederick J., andSamuel. William Franklin was my
great grandfather.
William Franklin Vaughn/Vawn married Margaret Richardson. They gave birth to
Laura B. Ada F., Charles F. Ada F. was my grandmother. There seems to be a
problem with the spelling of the name. My grandmother spelled her name VAUGHN. I
am certain of this as I have her bible, and my sister was given the middle name
VAUGHN. I also have the death certificate of William Franklin Vaughn, and the
name is spelled "VAUGHN". However, the name of his father, Frederick
is spelled "VAWN.
If anyone has any information at all regarding these family lines please contact

ROBISON,SANDERSON,BAXTER - Perry Co.
My 4-Great-Grandfather was George ROBISON, born ca. 1727 [maybe] in Coleraine,
Ulster, Northern Ireland. He came to the U.S. in the mid-1700's [we surmise] and
settled in Tyrone Twp., near Roseburg, Cumberland Co. PA. [the area is now part
of Saville or perhaps Tuscarora Twp. in Perry Co.] His wife is unknown, but she
may have been Elizabeth. George died in Perry Co. ca 1798, we are told. They had
six children:
Thomas, b. 1764, d. 1852; m. (1) 1/13/1789 Agnes McMILLEN; m. (2) Nancy
ELLIOTT; (3 children, including Jane who married a George SANDERSON), Robert, b.
1767, d. 1834; see below, Margaret, b. ?, d. 1843?; m. 8/7/1789 to Alexander
SANDERSON, Nancy, b. 1770, d. 1843; Mary, b. ? d. ?; m. 6/25/1793 to William
ROBINSON (five children?), Elizabeth, b. ? d. ? m. William SANDERSON
(William SANDERSON and Alexander SANDERSON above were first cousins. George
SANDERSON above was a nephew of Alexander SANDERSON)
The above may not necessarily be correct in all details. I'm pretty sure my
George is not *Capt. George* Robison, nor the proprieter of *Robinson's Fort*.
There are three George Robi(n)sons that I know of in Perry/Cumberland Co., but
none have the same children as those listed above. This is my major roadblock.
The George of Robinson's Fort was apparently also born in 1727, d. 1814, so
these dates may be suspect for my George.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My 3-Great-Grandfather was Robert ROBISON, born ca.1767 in Tyrone [later Saville]
Twp, Perry Co. PA, died Dec 1834 in/near the *Raccoon Valley* of Perry Co. PA.
He married Susanna, dau. of William GRAHAM. They had 8 children:
George, b. 1792, d. 1875 m. Jane Margaretta GRAHAM (served in the War of 1812,
was known as *Major* George but was only a private or corporal. Bur. Centre
Presbyterian Cemetery near Loysville), Robert, b. 1793, d. 1880; married
Catherina HENCH, William, b. 1795, d. 1876; m. Christina ZIEGLER, Jane, b. 1796,
d. 1851; never married; John M., b. 1797, d. 1867; see below Thomas, b. 1798, d.
1845; never married; David Elliott, b. 1800, d. 1864; m. (1) Mary CASSETTE; m.
(2) Rose Ann WALKUP (five children w/each), Sidney, b. 1802, d. 1872; never
married
There is sufficient evidence to make me confident in the accuracy of the above
generation.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My Great-Great-Grandfather was John M. ROBISON, born 3/3/1797 in Tyrone Twp.
Perry Co. PA.; m. ca 1820 to Jane R. BAXTER. John and Jane moved to Crawford Co.
Ohio in 1837. John died 8/15/1867, and Jane died 5/18/1857. Both are buried in
the Goodwill Cemetery, S.E. of Waynesburg, Crawford Co. Ohio. They had 9
children. The youngest was my Great-Grandfather John R. ROBISON.
Jane Baxter's father was a Jonathan BAXTER, who operated a Tannery near
Roseburg, Perry Co. PA, we are told, though there seems to be no record of
Jonathan Baxter with a daughter Jane who fits the time frame.

SINGER, WINTUS, HUGGENTUDDLER, MURRAY, THARPE - Perry Co.
Many of my ancestors lived in Liverpool, Pa. George Washington Singer was born
in 1832 and died in 1914. Would like to know about his ancestors and when
he/they came to America. Also was he German or Jewish. Did many Jews come to
Perry Co. -- if so, did they assimilate? His wife was Harriet Wintus. His son
was Lincoln who married married Mary Huggentuddler. I understand she was trained
by a doctor and provided medical care in Liverpool in the 1920s and 1930s. Also,
there is a "Singer monument" in the Liverpool Cemetary. Does anyone
know who is buried there?
I believe my earliest Murray ancestors were John and Rebecca Murray
born in 1796. They may have come from Ireland with George Cary Tharpe (prominent
citizen at the time in Liverpool). Looking for any connection between these
families and Irish emigration around that time. Did any Irish Catholics emigrate
that early -- or were they all Scotch-Irish from the north of Ireland? Later
ancestors were Jacob E. Murray , his brother John W. Murray (who I believe owned
the boatyard), George Cary Murray who was a "boatman" on the
Susquehanna. Any information appreciated. Will be happy to share additional info
I have.

send would be appreciated. I'm trying to trace the Morrisons and have just begun
