Hi - I'm new to the list - my wife is a descendant of John Custer & Margeret
Barbara Bleistein, oiriginally of Lancaster Co, then Franklin, came to Somerset Co with
his sons John, Frederick, Jacob & Abraham between 1800 & 1810.
Our line is as follows:
Frederick Custer & Elizabeth Stover
Mary "Polly" Custer & Jacob Seese
Mary Seese & Emanuel Webb
Mary Ann Webb & Adam Weaver
Walter Weaver & Eva Bibby
Walter Weaver Jr & Donna Bender
Donna Weaver & Brian Cartwright
every one of these generations is within ten miles of Johnstown
I have a large amount of information on the descendants in Somerset & Cambria Co, I am
looking for new contacts with whom to share.
I also wish to satisfy myself on the parents on John Custer - many current sources say
Tobias Custer of Rapho Twp, Lancaster Co, but there are several other sources (primarily
older ones) which point to Paul Custer & Sarah Ball, of Philadelphia. I am undecided
on these or any other possibilities.
Thanks very much, look forward to eharing from some of you
