I am trying to find any information on my gggrandfather Stanton BARNAMAN (BARNEMAN), b.Germany. Stanton married Betsy MOREY, b. 17 Mar 1838 in MI. Stanton and Betsy had at least one child, my ggrandmother Phebe Ann BARNAMAN, b.5 Aug 1855 in Howell, Living- ston Co., MI. My reason for posting this quiry on the PA net is that Phebe had always said that she was PA Dutch. To date I have been unable to find any more information on her parents than is posted above, but it is likely that they spent some time in PA before moving to MI. All help is appreciated.

Iam searching for the parents/ancestors of Philip Smith, b - possibly around 1755. He married Mary? They had 3 sons, Jacob, William and Henry Smith, Sr. Need information on Jacob and William Smith. It is possible that Philip Smith was in Berks Co. and then Westmoreland Co. I am searching for parents of William S. Hayes, b. 1853 and life long resident of Unity Township, Westmoreland Co. He also resided in Greensburg before moving to Unity township. He married Sarah Smith, daughter of Henry Smith, Jr., on Sept. 26, 1872. I also need information on John Fiscus, Sr. who married Ann Penrod, daughter of Michael Penrod. Since William S. Hayes is my great grandfather, I am quite interested in his ancestors and siblings. It might be that a Samuel S. Hays I found on an 1850 census could be his father. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated and I am willing to share if a connection can be made. I have noticed that the name Hays/Hayes is spelled both ways even in the same family.

EBERHART/EPPERHART: Henry Johnson EPPERHART married Christena DAY on June 6, 1816 in Tazewell Co VA. Henry was born abt 1783 in PA I believe his surname was Americanized because there are no EPPERHARTs in PA. Jacob and John EBERHART are listed in the 1790 PA Heads of Families. Henry Johnson EPPERHART died in Rowan Co KY after 1870. I need parents and siblings. Thanks, Gary Lewis 302 E 2nd ST, Morehead, KY 40351
