Surname: CAROTHERS
-------------------------
My g,grandfather was Joseph Carothers, b. 1849, Wyoming Co. Pa., but is
listed as 1 yr old on the 1850 census. He was raised in Antis Twp. Blair
Co. Pa. His father & grandfather were both named William Carothers. I don't
know Josephs mother's maiden name, but her given name was Anne. In the
1860 census their children were listed: Joseph, Jacob, Margaret, Robert,
Elvira, and Jackson. There were probably other children born after this.
I feel this family was related to the Carothers in other area's of Blair
Co. and Huntingdon Co. and are from the Carothers families in Cumberland
County, Pa. I would love to hear from other's that are seaching this family,
or who may have some insight as how would be the best way of tracking this
family down. Is there anyone that has info on Carothers families in the
Blair Co or surrounding counties; or a genealogist that would be able to
help. I appreciate any help. Thank you very much. Dottie
