Warren...I think I looked for your folks in the J.T. Humphrey books on
births in Se PA, and didn't find what you wanted. Nonetheless, I'll look
again tomorrow. However, more importantly, the stuff I found at the Berks
Co. Historical Society resulted from a visit I made there last June.
There's obviously tons of info on the internet, and more added all the
time...but there's still a great deal that is only available in hard copy.
(OTH, that society has some of their records indexed and accessible on
line--Google Berks Co. Historical Society and you may find something
useful...I did that before I made my visit and knew beforehand that they had
some goodies for me.) So, I don't have a magic key...I just visited places
where my "targets" lived and went through books. I have tentative plans for
another research trip to PA this spring/summer...if that happens, I'll try
to keep your folks in mind and we'll see what turns up. If your folks are
like mine, poor and illiterate, then church records are pretty much the only
hope.
Of course, you could hire a professional researcher...but that takes the fun
out of the research exercise...
Regards...Drew

Drew, I may have already asked you about searching the Berks Co Historical
Society records for any information on Abraham or Abram Artley or Erdle,
Ertle, Hartley, Erdley who was born in Reading in 1800. He married
Elizabeth Weise in 1822 , one son Daniel born in Berks Co in 1824. Abraham
died in Armstrong Township, Lycoming Co., in 1862. Or at least he was
listed in the 1860 census as residing in Armstrong Twp. I am looking for
the parents of Abraham.
I had no luck, but since you have already researched, you probably have the
correct key to access.

Pat...are there any Blackwell's (or Maurer's) in your family. I ask
because, on October 25, 1812, my 4x great grandparents (David and
Elizabeth
[Maurer] Blackwell) had a daughter, Margaret, baptized at the Trinity
Lutheran Church, Reading, PA. The God parents/sponsors were Samuel Fries
and Magdalena Jost (which could be an early spelling of Yost).
This baptism record appears in a compilation of the Trinity Church records
spanning 1751-1904, and was prepared by Jacqueline Nein and Gail H. Hesser
(1988). I found this at the Berks County Historical Society in Reading.
Please note, I don't have any more details on Jost/Yost. Moreover, I
haven't found David Blackwell's origins/parents, but I think I've
identified
Elizabeth Maurer's parents and grandfather (I think they lived in Swatara,
then moved to Robeson Twp, Berks County).

Hello,
I'm a descendant of Captian (Johannes) David DESHLER and Maria
WUSTER/WISTER of Baden Germ. The other day a came across a web site by a
"J. L" who descends from David's Grandson, Peter (1743 - 1800). I'm
a
descendant of Peter's brother, Col. David DESHLER. This person was also
related to an ancestor of my husband's, Peter Clausen WYCOFF. I have a
lot
of information to share on both of these families and would really like to
connect with the auther of this web site.
I would, of course, by happy to share with anyone researching
DESHLER's (any spelling) from the Northampton Co, Lehigh Co. PA area or
their descendants who have moved to other areas.
My DESHLER lineage: Elizabeth Ann Deshler (w/o Daniel H. YOST) d/o
David Deshler (h/o Maria Catherine MERTZ) s/o George Deshler (h/o Susanna
DRIESBECH) s/o Col. David Deshler (above) h/o Susanna Elizabeth MULENBERG.
I have a lot of info on this family and would like a lot more. Please
contact me to share.
Thanks
Pat (Yost) Longley
