Looking for information on the CAROTHERS families in PA. Those of Blair
County PA, especially William & Anna Maria Carothers. They are in Antis Twp. in
1850 with the beginning of their little family. In 1860 they are there along
with
Williams 71 year old father, William and the children, Joseph Erb Carothers, &
his siblings, Jacob, Margaret, Robert, Elmira or Elvira and baby jackson.
Anna had several more children after this, a William is one of them. I've been
told through email that one of the Williams shot himself at this location. I
wish to find Anna Maria's maiden name and where this family is buried; also
where did they come from before coming into Blair County? Joseph's wife Alice
(Kephart) Carothers, said that Joseph was born in Wyoming Co. PA. when answering
the question in her Civil War Pension Application, as Joseph joined when he
was very young. Could it have been a county in NY.? Get in contact with me at,
Irishlovey(a)aol.com Willing to share. Dottie
