FamilySearch Catalog: For(e)aker family of Guernsey County, Ohio — FamilySearch.org

FamilySearch Catalog: For(e)aker family of Guernsey County, Ohio — FamilySearch.org:

Amazing find, shared on 30 Dec 2017 on Facebook.  I have been looking for this item for years, not knowing whether it existed. The digitized version is 83-pages.  I'm making this link available before I have time to read it myself for two reasons:
  • I don't want to lose the link.
  • I want to be sure that anyone interested the family of Catharine Foreaker Fedorchak can find it.

Watson, David & Rebecca Bryan


I've been working on a project to extract the family of Sintha Watson and Isaac B. Wilson from one of my older genealogy files and add it to my Yoho genealogy where I store information about the family of David Watson and Rebecca Bryan. There were 584 people in the Isaac B. Wilson family.

The Watson family has links to: Henthorn, Yoho, and Wilson.  Watstons and Henthorns lived in Fayette Co., PA.  Later Watsons lived in Marion county, West Virginia and Noble, Guernsey and Tuscarawas counties in Ohio, and Sedgwick county, Kansas.

Notes (Individual)
General:
Israel Hafer

AKA: Israel Hofer

RESIDENCES-CHILDREN-RELATIONSHIP: According to John Knisely, they lived in Greene Co., PA; then in Morgan Co., OH and later in Guernsey Co., OH. He lists the birth date of Israel Hafer as, Abt. 1781 and of Hannah as, Abt. 1794. The states, "Among their children were John Hafer, m. Jane McBride; Elias Hafer; and probably Joseph Hafer. ... I suspect that my ancestor, Sarah Jane Hafer, b. 2 Sep 1826, PA, d. 25 Dec 1863, Greene Co., PA, who married William Knisely, is also one of Israel and Hannah's children."

He also states, "Israel was the brother of Joseph Hafer and (probably) the brother of Jacob Hafer, b. c1795, m. Elizabeth Simpson and lived in Greene Co., Pennsylvania.".

Further, "There was a widow, Lydia Hafer on the 1840 census of Morgan Co., OH. I think it's likely she's a relative of Israel; perhaps she's the widow of his brother, Joseph."


CHILDREN: It is known from the biographical sketch of John Hafer, the husband of Jane McBride, that he was the son of Israel Hafer and Hannah Conger.

CHILDREN: Researcher John Knisely lists the children of Israel Hafer and Hannah Conger as: Jacob (probably); Joseph (probably); Elias; John; Sarah Jane his ancestor (possibly/probably); Rhoda J.; Samuel (possibly); Israel Jr.; Charlotte; Hester. Further research will be necessary to prove the members of this family.

1995 Family Reunion

The Watson Family Reunion was held on Sunday 16 Jul 1995 at the Tuscora Park in New Philadelphia, OH.


RESEARCHER: Belinda Fowler Watson furnished some information on the David Watson family to Denver C. Yoho. She probably published a Watson book.


BIOGRAPHY:
David Watson and his family came from Fayette Co., PA and settled on Gladys Branch of Seneca Creek, both of which now help to form the Seneca Lake [in Ohio]. They are both buried in the David Watson Cemetery, on their farm which is now known as the Patrick Bates farm. This David Watson Cemetery is located up around the Seneca Lake, a few miles from Cambridge, Guernsey Co., OH. There is also an old Jacob Yoho Cemetery which is almost surrounded by the waters of Seneca Lake. The Watson, Wilson, and Yoho families, when they first came to Ohio, all settled on Wills Creek Valley within one to three miles from one another. Found from this is Watsons married Wilsons, Wilsons married Watsons, and Watsons married Yohos.
