Hi Folks----I am confused, and have been for some time now as to which
Elizabeth Ann Zickafoose belongs in my line. I am referring to the E.Z. who
married Henry Metzker, outlived him, married Horace Pendleton Larkin,
outlived him, then married James McClure and is buried in Pleasant Hill
Cemetery near Sheridan, Oregon. I have visited this cemetery more than
once, in fact a cousin of mine on our Conner side lives on the original
donation land claim which abuts this cemetery, and have photos of the
gravestone which shows a birth date of 1798 and death date 1866. The
problem is this: is she the dau of Peter Z. & Catherine Hull and born 1789
as per Paul Cox letter-8/1/98----- or was she the dau of Elias Z, & Sarah
Armentrout born 1798, d.1866? In THIRTY THOUSAND NAMES OF IMMIGRANTS IN
PENNSYLVANIA by Prof. I. Daniel Rupp------Elizabeth Ann Z. dau of George Z.,
and Catherine Lance/Lantz--was born in Greenbriar Co. VA 1802, and died
1866, Sheridan, Oregon. I (along with help from my wife Cork----who has
been knee deep into genealogy for some 25 years) am beginning to think that
our Elizabeth Ann may well be the dau of George rather than Peter, and I am
sure that the birth date on the headstone is correct (moreso than what some
census records say). I am presently waiting for our local library to get the
1835 Farm Census record from Illinois, which may help. This is because of
Henry Metzker --Elizabeth Ann's first husband died then and there and we
have a photo copy of the probate for that event.
Now as to the query on Peter G. Mills. ----from Patije Mills------
I have no info as to this Mills, although the name Western R. Mills pops up
here and there.
Adios and good hunting------Jim
