Hi Liz,
I am researching the following CASNER's in PA:
Solomon CASNER b 8 May 1800 Blair Co, PA. Married Susanna Dilling b 3 Feb
1806 Clover Creek, Blair Co, PA.
I am descended through their daughter Anna CASNER (b 24 Feb 1833) and I
believe (but have not verified) that their other children were Sophia,
Susanna, John, Elizabeth, and Rebecca.
I have information that indicates that Solomon CASNER's father was John
Casner (b 1756 Lancaster Co), that his grandfather was also John CASNER (b
1732 near Lewistown, Mifflin Co, PA0 , and that his great-grandfather was
either John or Jacob CASNER (born 1705 Germany, arrived at Phila in early
1700's), but I have not verified any of this. Have found stories telling
that Solomon's grandfather was kidnapped and raised by Indians, and married
one . Solomon's father also supposedly married an indian girl by the name
of Magdalena. They were supposed to have had 5 children, but I have not
found any information on any other than Solomon.
Where in PA were your CASNER's from?

Subject: Casner Surname Data Bases
I am researching my Casner/Carsner/Carsoner surname (most often
spelled
Casner). In so doing, it has become necessary for me to maintain some 50+
FTM data bases on various Casner lines (some extensive, some only a few
names).
I have to believe out there somewhere are Casner/Carsner/Carsoner
descendants of my
line that will be able to give me some clues in order to
fill in the last few ramining gaps of my line. In the meantime, I would like
to hear from any Casner researcher/descendant - perhaps we can help one
another in our research. If we are not of the same line and if I have your
family in any of my db I will be glad to put you in touch with persons from
that line (if I have a contact in that line).
My line begane in the late 1700s in PA/VA the migrated into KY, TN, then
arrived in
MO in 1818; many descendants live in MO and surrounding states.
One of the sons, married in Ray Co., MO in 1822 and had 12 sons and one
daughter. He died in IA in 1847; the wife and all those kids migrated to OR
in 1852 and from there spread to CA, WA, Canada, AZ, TX, NM, NV, UT, ID, OK
and maybe into AK.
Just sitting here waiting to hear from someone.
