'Researching' my Ancestry for over 20 years has been my passion! The decision to undertake this endeavor... has been a 'Most' Rewarding experience!! Meeting 'Family' from the 'East' to the 'West' coast.... Making 'lasting' friendships...
What an 'age' we live in!! The way we can communicate and get answers to our research through the 'airwaves'.... My Ancestors did their 'research' by 'snail mail'..... Some still do...
This is an 'amazing' site!! I have found many 'Ancestors' graves through this means... It is the best site to 'link' with your family... and if an 'error' is made... There is a big 'family' out there to help you 'get it right'...
If it had not been for FAG and an 'Angel', Sherry, Contributor who I met... searching for my family in Pennsylvania... I would not have found 'family' who I had been searching for over 8 years... What a 'Joy' it was the day I received the pictures of their 'Grave Stones'....
AND... not to forget the 'Angel', Cathy, who introduced me to my 'Family'... Gave me all of her research documents.. like Marriage licenses, Land Deeds, Death Certificates and more. She 'walked' the cemeteries and documented her findings... I owe her more than I could ever repay and she is not even a 'Family' member.... But she is 'Family' to me..!!
Been writing a 'Family Story' to pass on to my children. Someday, I hope to write about 'Eagle Creek, OR' where my roots are. That amazing little 'community' was and still is a family 'community where all are 'related'...

Noticed that you have a note on findagrave about a burial site for Rebecca Skelly Traxler, first wife of Jacob Reno Traxler. Our family records show that she is buried in Otterbein Cemetery, along with her husband and her sister. (on Route 641 between Newburg and Roxbury.)
My husband's grandmother was Mary Ann Traxler Shearer (1879-1947) daughter of William Alexander Traxler (1846-1901) and Elizabeth Melissa Clippinger (1846-1917). William Alexander Traxler was the son of Jacob Reno Traxler and his second wife Mary Jane Skelly. The Traxler family reunion was often held on my husband's parents' farm in Franklin County.
also in Otterbein [records of the Shippensburg Historical Society]

| John Myers Genealogy
Hello, I am a descendant of the John Myers who lived in Salisbury Township, Lancaster County, PA. I wanted to contact you regarding the tombstone shown in here. The John Myers who was a Justice of the Peace in Lancaster County is buried in Cambridge Methodist Cemetery in Salisbury Township. He is buried there with his wife and oldest daughter, Eliza, who married John Miller. That tombstone can be found using Find a Grave. Further evidence of his existence can be found in a book entitled "A History of Salisbury Township in Lancaster County". It was published in 2001. It shows his complete family and contains a picture of his home. John Myers was born in 1781 and died in 1871. I am related to John through his daughter, Sarah, born in 1830 who married Abraham Mast. His family members are as follows:
Eliza Ann born 3/10/1810 died 4/20/1864
Henrietta 4/10/1812 - 1873
Abner 3/2/1814 - 9/30/1887
John 3/17/1816 - ?????
Susanna 10/24/1818 - ?????????
Jacob 4/30/1821 - ???????
Catherine 11/5/1823 - 7/14/1849
Mary Ann 4/27/1827 - ??????
Sarah 5/13/1830 - 3/2/1913 (my gggmother)
Nathan 9/26/1836 - ???? Shown in 1860 census
Hope this helps with what you found. Abner did move west into Clarion county along with some Millers who were Eliza and John Miller's children.

| RE: David Epperson
I'm glad you enjoyed the newspaper story! Thank you for the information on your line.
I descend, on two lines actually, from David Epperson, Jr. who died at Valley Forge. He married Judith Maupin. David, Jr. is my 6-greats grandfather through both lines.
I also descend from David, Sr. through daughter Judith Epperson. Judith's son married David Jr.'s daughter.
Please let me know if you have any other questions I might be able to answer. I do enjoy helping others with their family histories when I can!

| RE: David Epperson Memorial #89656188
Glad you enjoyed the photos. It was my pleasure to post them. I love being able to share any findings I might make with distant relatives.
I posted a new photo of a news story about the marker. For some reason it made it the main photo, so you'll probably want to correct that since I see you're now maintaining the memorial's page.
What line of David's do you descend from?

I just took care of the transfer. I am always happy to send my 'clients' back to their families. If you have anyone else which I manage, please let me know.
Best wishes for happy hunting!

You asked for a transfer, but didn't mention what your relation is? Does he fall within the guidelines for transfer? If not, send the info to me and I will add it. P.S. You can't link him to a "Sister" only parents and children.
