My John Milton would have been born somewhere around 1870 to 1900. I know he met my
grandmother when she was only 13, they married and had their first child when she was only
14. I'm told that my John's father's name was Milton. I have not been able to
confirm to date, what my grandfather's siblings names were. I know there was a
Patrick, Charles, and Jacob in the family tree somewhere, but I'm not sure just where?
There is also a William and a Harrison in my tree, to which my father got his name. The
bible I have is from 1871, my grandfather is to have given it to my father, prior to his
death, which is to have been sometime around 1946? He was to have received it from his
father, (my great-grandfather) who is to have brought it from Germany. Most of my
father's family lived in Eastern PA. They called themselves Pensy. Dutch people.
As to my grandmother - I have been unable to even prove she lived, lol. I know nothing
about her at all. She remarried to a Jay Herman. But, I think 'Jay' was a
nickname?
Do you know where your Jacob is from? I do have pictures of some ancestors, but I have no
idea who they are, or what generation they are from. Do you have any photos that we could
compare?
