The 1910 census of Gettysburg, Adams Co, PA lists Diana Sandoe 73 aunt with Samuel D.
Ridinger 56.
The 1870 census of Gettysburg has an Annie Sandoe 32 with Charlie 5.
The 1880 census of Gettysburg has an Annie Sandoe 43 with son Charles 11 & niece
Catherine Caskey 10
A George W. Sandoe married Diana Anne Caskey abt 1862 & was first soldier killed at
Gettysburg.
Diana Anna Caskey was born abt 1839 to Isaac Caskey.
Samuel Ridinger born 5/1823 married 2/24/1848 (by Rev J. Fohl in Gettysburg) Louisa
Catherine Caskey, daughter of Isaiah & Peggy Caskey (baptized 3/30/1829 St John's
Evangelical , Littlestown) & had 2 sons (one of which is Samuel Duffield born 1854)
& 2 daughters before she died in 1866.
Samuel (and his 2nd wife, Sarah) also owned a half lot in Gettysburg with Deana Sandoe
(presumably Diana?) which was sold to them by John E. Olgenfrutz and his wife in 1866 and
he paid Diana $525 evidently for her part in 1975
Isaiah & Peggy Caskey also baptized Eliza Ann Caskey 9/23/1827 at St John's
Evangelical. Eliza Ann Caskey married William G. Black 12/5/1854 in the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in Taneytown, MD & had 2 sons before she died.
Then found a birth for Mandilla Caskey 6/7/1843 in the parish records of Taneytown listing
her parents as Isaiah & Margaret (d'cd) Caskey!
So...conclusions:
1) Diana (Caskey) Sandoe is an aunt to Sameul Duffield Ridinger.
2) Samuel Duffield Ridinger's mother was Louisa Catherine Caskey.
3) Louisa Catherine & Eliza Ann were daughers of Isaiah & Peggy Caskey.
4) Diana Anna was daughter of Isaac Caskey.
5) Catherine Caskey is a niece of Annie Sandoe.
Questions:
What is the relationship, if any, between Isaiah Caskey & Isaac Caskey?
Who are the parents of Catherine Caskey (born abt 1870)?
What is the relationship between Diana Sandoe & Samuel Ridinger (father of Samuel
D.)?
Who is Mandilla Caskey? (Birth seems to be 15 years after Eliza Ann. Could she be a
daughter to another Isaiah & Margaret?)
Anybody have any ideas? Where can I find the answers?
