Shirley,
Saw your reference to the Showalters! I've been trying to place Mary
SHOWALTER b 4 Apr 1783, PA (?) who married John WALTER b 4 Jul 1776,
Westmoreland Co., PA; d 16 Nov 1848, Sugarcreek Twp., Tuscarawas Co., OH.
I've heard that Mary was the daughter of Peter SHOWALTER b abt 1754, who
emigrated to Tuscarawas Co., OH, but I haven't found anything to verify
this. I would GREATLY appreciate any help with this family!
Respectfully,
Barbara Richardson Howard
