Bill,
I noticed in your tree #15 you quote from a book by Lois regarding the Schillinger
line. I have researched the Walley line and found that some sources were in error
when they said that Mary Barbara Greenawalt was the widow of Nicholas Walley.
Actually she was the widow of Nicholas's son Peter, who was buried in St. Michael's
in Fryburg, Washington Township, Clarion County PA when it was still part of Venango
County. I have the burial record, which clearly states that Peter was the husband of
Mary Barbara Greenawalt of the Wilderness. The Wilderness is the name of the place
Mary lived, which is now Crown. In her will she mentions the Wilderness church,
which is St. Mary's.
Check my web page. It may be down today, because they are adding more space to
their hard drives.

Bill,
Will,
I was looking at your Angelfire web site again and noticed your question marks about Weber and Weaver. It was a case of translation of the German name Weber, which means Weaver in English. They did that to our Schmidt also. On the 1790 census he was Smith. There were no Schmidt names at all on that census in Pennsylvania. Some names like Grunewald and Greenawalt were just misspelled. I have a Bostaph who was originally Bosdorff. Tpser or Ipser is a case of misread handwriting. I saw the original document, and the I does look like a T, but the other T's were different. It was an I--Ipser.
I have some notes on your Catherine Greenawalt and John Grolemund from the censuses. She was not with her family on the 1860 census. That family of Henry Greenawalt and Teresa Weber is in "A Proud People, A Proud Heritage".
Do you know anything about a Lieutenant Colonel Jacob W. Greenawalt who was in the Civil War? He was a son of Henry Greenawalt born in Westmoreland County, PA 27 October 1837. He married Rebecca McGrew. He practiced law in Westmoreland until the Civil War. He was killed May 17, 1864 at the battle of the Wilderness in Virginia.
