I dated Tom the year after high school. 1 3y · Like Dawn M Newton Yes, Mary, and they also had the crippled son, Dick, who was a bookkeeper for Kightlingers. 1 3y · Like Thomas Maynard Dawn, I remember a Claude Knight, black hair boy from Rouilete near my age, I think. Part of this family? 3y · Like Dawn M Newton Tom, I think his father and Merle were brothers although I wouldn't bet my life on it. The one you're remembering worked at Pure Carbon, right? 1 3y · Like Thomas Maynard Yep 1 3y · Like Dawn M Newton After Merle died, Grace married Harvey(?) Slingerland. They were in a wreck on the curve just as you get to Seven Bridges coming from Coudersport, and Grace was killed. 2 3y · Like Mary Dunkleberger Dawn, oh my word - I never knew that!! How sad - she was the sweetest lady -- Tom & I dated our first year out of high school until we both went into the Air Force in Jan. '66. We were active in county grange youth & were in a square dance club with Tom's brother's family Larry & Myrt & Jane. 2 3y · Like Dawn M Newton Merle had a sister Orva Knight Hyde. She and Grace always made the cabbage salad for the big Grange dinners. I can still see them grating cabbage in a big washtub. 3 3y · Like Robert Saulter Was there any relationship to Howard Knight? 3 3y · Like Dawn M Newton That's a good question, Bob. I never heard of any, but that doesn't mean anything. That sure would open up some more family connections, wouldn't it? 3 3y · Like

March 15, 2014 I'll start tagging this later, and I'll post some sections as well. Feel free to add tags. Jeannette Buck had helped me identify many of these, many years ago, Thank You! Actually, none of the tags I've added are sticking, apparently at this stage, because they're not (nor will they ever be, alas!) FaceBook friends, so until I figure this out, the comments will have to suffice. Please correct and add. - john OK, I've tagged a number of the cut-outs, and they've held, but you may have to be in edit mode to see them. huh? +17 Like Show more reactions Comment 19 Oliver Fry, Holly Heymann Seltz and 17 others 3 Shares Comments Thomas Maynard Very impressive. Thank you. 1 3y · Like Dawn M Newton John, how do the Weimers fit in? 3y · Like Dolly Sills Neat to see these pics. 2 3y · Like John Christy Wetzel Dawn M Newton, Eve Lecretia WEIMER was married to Isaac Henry DINGMAN, my 2nd grgrandparents. and there's a whole lot of information on that line. 2 3y · Like John Christy Wetzel unable to tag right now, maybe because it's embedded in a comment? Anybody know? so... Isaac & Eve, of course. Boys, left to right: Judson, Almond, & George; girls, Etta (my grgrandmother SNYDER- Fred) and Lillian (Alva Thompson) 2 3y · Like Dawn M Newton John Christy Wetzel, is this picture then of Josephine, Lillian, Almond, Judson, and George? 2 3y · Like John Christy Wetzel our comments crossed. Yep. 2 3y · Like Dawn M Newton Somewhere in here we had this Isaac Henry as Isaac F. Also, Eve as Eva. Probably some of these errors come from trying to read old hand-written deed copies which really blew my mind! I found a deed from Henry D and Amy Elmina Dingman to Eve L. Dingman "their daughter" for 88 acres dated 10/13/1885. Could Henry D be Isaac Henry's father? And perhaps Isaac D was deceased and Henry and Amy were deeding to daughter-in-law Eve? 2 3y · Like John Christy Wetzel Henry D, born 1825 was Isaac's father. 2 3y · Like Thomas Maynard You folks are posting so much, so fast, on so many different posts, that I'm trying to keep of, and all in the original, Dolly post, that I am about to call time out and try and figure out how to keep track of everything. Luv ya guys. Keepem comin. ? 1 3y · Like Dawn M Newton I misspoke (too many Isaacs!) Perhaps Isaac Henry was deceased when they deeded to Eve only. 2 3y · Like Dawn M Newton It looks like there's a possibility that Henry D and wife Amy __? were living there during the Civil War. Thank you so much, John. 2 3y · Like Dawn M Newton Tom, I hope you're still copying because I'm not, but I have to get all this information organized and down somehow like you said. 2 3y · Like Dawn M Newton OK, John Christy Wetzel, how were the Brock's hooked up to the Meachams? I don't think I had ever seen a picture of Willis Brock. I think he must have been married to Amy and have been Ronald Brock's father. 3y · Like Dawn M Newton No - not "Amy" Brock - Emma Brock! 1 3y · Like Thomas Maynard Gotem Dawn. After I have them saved I "Like". 2 3y · Like Dawn M Newton Bless you, Tom! As you said, I'm having trouble jumping from post to post. 1 3y · Like John Christy Wetzel Willis Emmet Brock 1876-1944 married Florence Emily (Emma) Eggleston 1878-1963 in 1900 in Olean. Thelma Elizabeth Meacham, 1919- married Elton Elmer Swift 1921-2004 in 1942 in Port Allegany. Elton was the father of Sandra Lee Swift, who married my uncle, David Lee Wetzel, my dad's youngest brother. I haven't connected that Swift with Kaye Swift Baxter's line yet. 2 3y · Like John Christy Wetzel Still checking on that specific Meacham/Brock connection you asked about. 1 3y · Like Dawn M Newton Wow, John, this is so fascinating! Thelma Meacham, aforementioned, was a sister to Alta Clark (Roy), Mildred Dingman (Robert of Coneville store), and Leona Criss (Lawrence). I don't know who their parents were. Probably we're getting back into Wetmore Meachams. Also, was Robert Dingman one of the Dingmans we're discussing? Elton Swift probably was connected to Eva's husband, Alfred. I think they were all Shinglehouse/Coneville oriented. There was a Swift, Morris, I think, who committed suicide in his barn. They lived on Rt. 44 toward Coudersport from Elton & Thelma. I can still remember everyone talking about that and how shocked people were. 2 3y · Edited · Like Dawn M Newton What I wouldn't give to have my mother, Aunt Leona, Bill Thompson, et al, here to straighten us out on all these people! 2 3y · Like Dawn M Newton Dolly Sills, Lawrence Criss, mentioned above, was Terry Clark's great, great uncle! 2 3y · Like John Christy Wetzel Have you heard a cause behind the suicide? 1 3y · Like Dawn M Newton Not that I can remember, John. 1 3y · Like John Christy Wetzel Eugene F. Meacham (Mecham) also married Emma Eggleston, in 1951, 7 years after Willis Brock died. I'm researching that line right now. 1 3y · Like Dawn M Newton Emma Meacham!! That makes light bulbs flash. Dave, you probably will find Eugene F. Meacham sitting in your family tree somewhere! 2 3y · Like Dawn M Newton Here's some more information for Dave Wetmore that I find in some information Carol got from my mother: Ed Meacham was grandpa William Thompson's uncle, a brother of Eliza Meacham Thompson. He lived down Dingman Run in the area where the Niles Hill Road goes up over the bank on the left hand side. He lived down over the steep bank on the right. He was a bachelor and a civil war veteran. He used to give my grandmother, Dawn Thompson Matteson, 50 cents to knit him a pair of wool sox. She knit them from home-spun wool and thought that 50 cents was a fortune. They called him Uncle Ed. On the left side of Dingman Run, across the road from him, lived the Burtons who had a smart aleck son, Henry. He did everything he could to tease and pester Uncle Ed. One afternoon or early evening, Uncle Ed took his gun down and shot Henry as he ran up the hill towards home. In a panic, thinking Henry dead, Uncle Ed set his own home on fire, took his pistol and went over to his nephew's (Uncle Bert Thompson) barn where he shot himself. They found him dead there. Henry Burton lived to a ripe old age. Mom said she could barely remember this because she was so young, but thinks it happened around 1907 or so. 3 3y · Like Dave Wetmore I may be a little late on this but Henry Dingman (1825-1897) was indeed Isaac F.'s father. His spouse was Amy E. Brock. Henry was a private with Company G, 53rd Pa. Volunteers during the civil war. Henry's father was possibly John Dingman (1787-1878), spouse of Hannah ? He came from Chenango county NY in 1816. He was a veteran of the war of 1812. 2 3y · Like Dave Wetmore By the way, the picture of Isaac and family is wonderful. 2 3y · Like Dave Wetmore I'm willing to bet that Henry was living at the farm during the civil war. Gonna check on that. 2 3y · Like Thomas Maynard John Christy Wetzel posted 1931 Weimer family reunion pictures which has triggered a lot of comments. I am setting this post up the same way I have been compilying comments on the Wetmore Saga Titled "Post. 1. John Christy Wetzel added photos to Weimer family reunion, 1931." 3-15-14 2 3y · Like John Christy Wetzel John DINGMAN, 1792-1878, married Hannah TURNER, 1787-1869, dates not tight yet, I've seen variations. They were my 4th grgrandparents. 3 3y · Like Dawn M Newton And Hannah Turner was probably the sister of Nathan that Paul Gardner mentioned. They must all have come down here together. 1 3y · Like Dawn M Newton John Christy Wetzel, don't quote me on the first name of the Swift who committed suicide. I've been second guessing my self all afternoon. He had a son who went to school with us in Coneville, and I can't think of his name either. Mary Dunkleberger, do you remember anything about this. They might have lived on the farm where Arlene Saulter lives now. 1 3y · Like Mary Dunkleberger No, but Bobby may -- he's quite the historian too. 2 3y · Like Dawn M Newton Dave Wetmore and Dolly Sills, we have so much information flying around here that I wanted to be sure you saw the information above about Ed Meacham, Mary & Eliza's brother. Your father may remember where Harry and Freddy Bloom lived on Green Hill. Past George Clark's to the intersection and turn right. The first place you come to on the right. That is where Uncle Bert Thompson lived. David Acker and family lived there until a few years ago. If you go straight at that intersection up the hill, Will Thompson lived on top of the hill. There was quite a long lane to the right to get to his house. If you turn left at that intersection you go down past the Potter Game Club to the Fishing Creek Road. 1 3y · Edited · Like Dawn M Newton Please note that I edited the post above. I have a right/left learning disability!! 1 3y · Like John Christy Wetzel Dawn M Newton, Hannah was Nathan TURNER's daughter. I don't show a Nathan Jr, although it's not out of the question. 2 3y · Like Dawn M Newton I'm sure you're right, John Christy Wetzel. I was just guessing. As I said somewhere long ago in these posts, I don't have any of this information in writing. I'm just going by memory of things I heard or knew growing up. That's why I'm glad Tom Maynard is copying everything so we can sort through it later. 2 3y · Like Dave Wetmore Got it Dawn. Edmund N. Meacham was Eliza and Mary's brother. All I have is his birthdate, which was in 1836. Interesting story. I guess he would be my g, g, g, uncle. 2 3y · Like Dave Wetmore This getting confusing going back and forth between the threads. 2 3y · Like Dawn M Newton You're telling me!! My eyes are starting to cross and my brain is going dead!! How are you doing, Tom Maynard? 1 3y · Like Thomas Maynard Try printing out what I have sent you to date and use them as work sheets to write on and references to go back to on facebook. Just sayin 1 3y · Like Dawn M Newton I will do that, Tom, but not tonight! ? 1 3y · Like John Christy Wetzel Thank you for that fascinating story, Dawn M Newton, on Ed Meacham's suicide & Henry Burton. I have (most of) these relationships organized in a database and am storing pics and anecdotes for posterity, not just for and of my own family but for the history of the area as well. It keeps relationships straight, anyway. 5 3y · Like Dawn M Newton Thank you, John, for all of your input. I'm a little surprised at how I have been drawn into all this history. I've always left the genealogy to others. Maybe that will become my hobby in my old age. I'm so computer illiterate that it's hard for me to know how to go about it. I have old family pictures that I have no idea how to get on here. My husband bought a really good scanner that sits tucked away in the closet. He was the computer expert, and I never needed to learn how to do things! 3 3y · Like Thomas Maynard Gang it's been fun, but it's gotten to be too many different posts for me to try and keep organized and saved in one post file. Best wishes and I'll be following but until I figure out a way to make it less cumbersome. Adios. God bless us all. ? 2 3y · Like Dawn M Newton I completely understand, Tom, and I know the others will, too. This doesn't mean we need to stop posting memories and relationships! We are learning so much, and the best part is the new friends we're making, and the old friends we're finding! We now know who we can turn to for help. 4 3y · Like Thomas Maynard I am very anxious for someone to make available for printing out, genealogies, homes and neighborhoods histories. 3 3y · Like Robert Saulter Dawn, I agree with Tom To much to fast, and you have to remember to click on more on half of them. The name you were trying to remember was Ward Swift. 2 3y · Like Dawn M Newton Thanks, Bob. For two days I have been trying to think of that name. I knew I was wrong the first time. I'm taking a little break from this whole history thing! It was taking over all my waking thoughts! 1 3y · Like John Christy Wetzel First Weimer reunion, 1897. A little accompanying information doesn't hurt. 3y · Like Bonita Bickford Emery Does anyone have a the copy of the Weimar Family genealogy? If not I have one that Glade Weimar gave me a few years ago. 2d · Like John Christy Wetzel Weimar? (Funny, I never noticed how close my ancestral name Weimer is to the former German republic!) Weimer- yes, I have a pdf. Glad to share, but can’t with FB (maybe FBMessenger). It is easily found by googling, too. Thanks for bringing this up- it’s really well done. 23h · Edited · Like _______________ 20180127 RVA- documenting FB thread- John Christy Wetzel March 15, 2014 · Grace Church Knight and Murle/Merle?
