Descendants of George Thrasher (Drescher) and Catherine Fox
and
The Schmeckenbecher Lineage
The Thrasher name is alleged to descend from the Von Drescher family of Estonia.
Let's quote Odessa Thrasher of Williston, Florida on the
issue of origins:
There were four Von Drescher brothers that were printing subversive material against
the government. They lived in Estonia, which was at that time under the control of Germany.
They were told that they had to leave Estonia. The four brothers (no names, no dates) came to America as
mercenaries, likely before the Revolutionary War where many "German" mercenaries fought for the British crown, then stayed after the
fighting stopped.
Estonia is one of the Baltic nations on the east side of the Baltic sea. Its capital city is Tallinn and the city and country have been major
commerical crossroads for centuries. Unfortunately, Estonia has also been a victim of other nations' ambitions--Prussia, Germany, Austria, Poland, Russia, and Sweden. With the collapse of
the Soviet Union in 1989, Estonia once more regained its independence. Perhaps we will learn more about the Von Dreschers from their descendants or from sources in
Estonia. For now, we will pick up the story with Drescher/Thrasher ancestors whose names and locations we actually have knowledge of.

1st line -- "text"---- can't read what book of the bible is mentioned, then the
number "18 30", probably the chapter and verse.
2nd line -- last 2 words "und verschied" --- meaning ---"and passed away"

7 vi. Jonathan Thrash (nee Thrasher). He married Catherine Bostian. They relocated
to Jefferson Township, Jay County, Indiana in 1840 and their descendants became prominent and
successful farmers there. The family at some point changed their name to Thrash from Thrasher.
You can learn more about the family in Indiana at Andrew Thrash of Jay County.
Also, Jonathan's grave marker is photographed below, courtesy of Elaine Miller. The notation for his wife, Catherine (Bostian) Thrash, is on the opposite side of the marker for Jonathan. It shows that
she died December 13, 1893 at the age of 77 years, 11 months and 5 days. Four of their children or
children-in-law are also buried at the same
cemetery:
Rezen S Thrash Martin (1830 - 1906),husband of Elizabeth Thrash (1833-1879) *

Sarah J. Thrash Shoemaker (1842 - 1921), wife of Charles W. Shoemaker (died 1894)
* Buried at Liber Cemetery in Jay County, Indiana
According to Elaine:
Jonathan Thrasher is my husband's third great-grandfather. Jonathon's son George Thrash married
Eliza Jane Orcutt. Their daughter Phoebe Rosella Thrash married Emanuel Franklin Miller. In turn,
their son George Maxwell Miller (Max Miller) married Harriett Cecil May. Their son Max Merrill Miller
married Lois Jean Conner and their son is my husband Ken Miller.
I have attached a Group Sheet for Jonathan Thrasher and Family. Also, I believe I just found land
in Sugarloaf Twp, Luzerne County, PA that belonged to Jonathan before he moved to Indiana. It was land
he received from his parents George and Catharine (Fox or "Fuchs") Thrahser, land which George received
from Samuel Yost. .

the Riverhurst cemetery, Endicott, NY. The plot was owned by Winifred Keim, a daughter. We are
currently unaware of the time and place of death of the daughters of Harvey and Matilda. All were living in 1918 when their mother passed away and Winifred and Adeline were alive in
1949 when their brother Milton died of a heart attack in Binghamton, NY. However, Adeline E. Thrasher is
also buried in the family plot in Endicott and is without doubt one of the sisters.

* Editor's Note: Henry Edward Thrasher (1897-1918) was a seaman aboard the SS Cyclops when it left Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on February 16, 1918 with 306 souls on board. The ship, a collier more than 500 feet long, was bound for Baltimore, Maryland, but stopped for supplies on March 3-4 in Barbados. After that date, the ship was never seen or heard from again, and no trace of the wreck has ever been found. Rumors of various kinds have surrounded the disappearance of the Cyclops, the single largest loss of life in U.S. Naval history not directly involving combat. Some say it was lost in the Bermuda Triangle, others that German saboteurs aboard the ship mutinied and handed the ship and its crew over to German submarines, and others that the ship was torpedoed and lost at sea. Yet others blame the weather, since another steamer reported a storm along the intended path of sail. Finally, the captain himself came under suspicion, since he was born in Germany and was known to be a rigid disciplinarian. No one knows for sure. But, after World War One, no record or source was ever found or produced in Germany to suggest or support the claim that the Germans or their supporters had anything to do with the loss of the ship. The US Navy investigation that followed created over 1000 pages of documentation, which rest in the National Archives in Washington, DC. The mystery remains to this day. Here is a photo of the Cyclops taken briefly before her disappearance:
