  	Dave Wetmore Dawn, This is the Wetmore line back to the sisters Eliza and Mary Meacham. My dad's parents were Elton E. Wetmore and Olive Jack (maiden name) Wetmore. Grandpa Elton's parents were William Riley Wetmore and Emily Keeler Wetmore. The Wetmore and Keeler families were deeply entrenched with each other's lives. William Riley and Emily were one of three Wetmore siblings and three Keeler siblings that married. Double and triple cousins abounded. Grandma Emily's parents were John Keeler and Mary E. Meacham, Eliza's sister. Dave Wetmore Dawn, My great grandma Emily Keeler Wetmore was Ernest Belmont Keeler's sister! That would make Ernest and Elizabeth Abigail "Abbie" Meacham, Eliza's daughter, first cousins. Dave Wetmore Dawn, The 1920 Hebron Township census I have been studying does not show any Metzgers but the Mattison family is listed. It lists Arthur E. Mattison, householder; Dawn L. , wife; Thelma W. 15 years old daughter; K. Leona 11 years old daughter; and Jefferson W. , 70 years old father (widower). Where did they live? I would love it if this census report had addresses. The end of this report lists Don Stearns as the "enumerator". I guess that means Don was the census taker. George Finster Dave Wetmore; there is a Lillian Wetmore Class 0f 1939 and a Kenneth Wetmore Class of 1944 in the Port Allegany Tiger Lily year books. Dave Wetmore Kenneth is my dad and Lillian is my aunt. They all grew up around the Port Allegany area. My dad was born at Sartwell Creek and grew up mostly at Cady Hollow out past the Village of Wrights outside Port. My dad was the hardest working man I have ever known. For years he got up at 5 AM and milked the cows. Then he went off to an 8 hour shift at the Tannery. Then he came home and milked the cows again, usually not finishing until around 9 PM. During his 2 week vacation from the Tannery we made hay. We used to say that we were tied to cow's tails. About a couple of times a year we took a weekend and went to Washington DC to see my grandparents. Dad could usually get Harry Setzer to do the milking on those weekends. Otherwise, no vacations. When it comes to being a father, I had the best teacher ever. Aunt Lillian is still living at 93 years old and lives about 1-2 miles from my folks.

  	Thomas T Shirey Hi Dolly...I worked with your Dad at L H Lincoln & Son....we never called him Ken....he was called "Red"....I could tell you some great stories......one of my favorites centered on the entire work force playing "home run derby" during our lunch hour. Your dad batted crosshanded....dangest way to swing a ballbat I ever saw! But....he could hit it a mile! He was a great guy to work with

  	Dolly Sills Thomas Shirey, I cant believe it, what a neat memory. I was sure hoping to run across someone who had worked with him. This is so interesting. You are right, He was always called `Red` He often mentions that when I give him a haircut of whats left. When we sold the farm, we moved down here to Hamburg, as you have probably seen, and he began work in a furniture factory, and became a supervisor, and the plant had youth working there for work/study programs, and he ended up being a wonderful mentor to youth. After that he drove OTR truck, and parked the truck at age 70. I am going to post a pic on this site of him and mom. He remembers you. I love the Lincoln story you shared. One he has recounted for years and years is the little hungry dog that came by one day, and you all gave him frozen meat, and he gobbled it down, and sat there just shivering. Thanks a lot for sharing!!

That's terrific, thank you! I really appreciate this, so much information, adds definition to what I have. Did you make those sculptures on your FB page? Sandra Engiles 2/2, 9:30am Sandra Engiles No, I saw them at a fair and thought they were terrific so I took a few pictures to share with friends. The artist has a Facebook page called Twisted Mind Rusty Metal. Happy I could help with the genealogy. John Christy Wetzel 2/2, 9:39am John Christy Wetzel Yeah, and nice to 'friend' another cousin! I'm working on a detailed all-inclusive family tree to 8th cousins or so; I mean, not just to know my ancestries, but also to ID those living relatives, to get a better understanding of who I am, or... something like that. Also interested in the genetic connections within Potter Co, especially descendants of the early settlers & how they relate to mine, like Dingman, Snyder, Brock, Williams, ... Sandra Engiles 2/2, 9:47am Sandra Engiles Do you have any of the books by Robert Ray Lyman (link to books on Amazon)- http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=ntt_athr_dp_sr_1?ie=UTF8&field-author=Robert+Ray+Lyman&search-alias=books&text=Robert+Ray+Lyman&sort=relevancerank I have read the "fun" ones (Forbidden Lands, Strange Events in the Black Forest)- and they have snippets in interesting facts about the early families. I didn't even know the others existed until I did the Google search. I am guessing the Potter County Historical Society probably has copies, and I know they have a lot of great information there and they are always willing to help. Plus- feel free to ask- I will answer anything that I can. I will be rather limited to memory and the internet for a few more months (we just moved and all my research info is packed away)- but I will be happy to answer anything I can. Amazon Search www.amazon.com Online shopping for Books from a great selection of Books Featured Categories, Refinements & more at everyday low prices. Sunday Sandra Engiles 2/2, 5:18pm Sandra Engiles I forgot to ask, which of Merrick's children is your ancestor? Monday John Christy Wetzel 2/3, 12:12am John Christy Wetzel I answered earlier from my iPhone, but I don't see it here. Merrick was married to my 3rd great aunt, Sally Weimer, so not a direct ancestor. There is a strength of character in that newspaper photo of him. Monday Sandra Engiles 2/3, 9:34pm Sandra Engiles He was apparently a tough, man with quite the sense of humor. I have some information about him during the Civil war, that I will try to locate and send on if you are interested. It will be a few months, but I will be happy to forward it. Have you seen the information on the Weimer Family (http://www.bnbhyde.com/weimerweb/WeimerFamilyHistory.pdf ) Lots of interesting information here (much of it from the Lyman book about the history of Roulette.) I love the bits about George being a baker in Napoleon's army (I have also worked as a baker)- and about the family almost being sold into slavery on their way to the U.S. I will try to poke around what I have to see if I can locate anything of interest to you. Oh- and another sibling of Sally also married a Jackson- Merrick's brother William Victor, who had the rickets as a child, and developed a hunchback. After the Civil War- he went out west as a gambler. I have his six gun and holster. So be warned, we have quite a few characters in this part of the family tree. I had to chuckle when I see that you live in Richmond. We just moved to Florida from Stafford Va on Dec 30th - so we were practically neighbors for many years without even knowing it.
