BL21b relates to the marriage of Veronica Blough and Solomon Horner. No
dates for Veronica or Solomon, alas. Fanny is frequently a nickname for
Veronica according to this book, so you must be right about Fanny Blough &
Solomon Horner marrying.

Veronica is 11th child of Christian Blough and Sarah Cable, all of them born
in Somerset Co. PA, beginning in 1789. Incidentally, Veronica's oldest
brother, Jacob Blough b c1789 married Catherine Horner of PA
(8/18/1795-5/24/1877). A footnote for Christian Blough says: "Birthdates
of issue given in DAR records are completely unreliable; order uncertain."
Do you want anything about Veronica Blough Horner's siblings? I wish it
told us where Solomon came from, but, alas, it doesn't. And we don't know
what connection there is between Catherine Horner Blough and Solomon Blough
except that they married siblings. The parents appear in Quemahoming Twp,
Somerset Co., as do siblings John Blough and Joseph Blough. The other
siblings either have no census or tax roll citation OR are in Jenner Twp.
Solomon & Veronica, alas, are amongst the missing citation.

I am interested in what you said about ALL of the emigrant Hanauer's sons
being in the Rev War. I have never been able to find any parents for my
Priv. Andrew Hoerner, Sr. He was born 4/19/1743 "Germany" and died
10/10/1821 Dauphin Co., South HANOVER Twp. Buried in Lutheran Burying
grounds, Hummelstown, Dauphin Co. My dad's notes say he came over 1760
from Wurttemburg. or from Prussia. Or maybe not. (Is there a connection
between the word Hanover and the word Hanauer? German pronunciation of
HANOVER would surely come up with a W sound for that V, which surely sounds a
lot like Hanauer to me. Come to think of it, the Hanover kings of England
were German. ) One family history says he had perhaps 5 brothers and at
least 1 sister and that the other siblings settled in NJ but he and 1 sister
went on to PA to settle there.

Anyway, my Andrew married two Glick sisters or Klick sisters. Maria
Catherine and Maria Barbara who were from "near Lebanon PA" or else from
Hummelstown. 9 children. Glick/Click is an old Brethren or Mennonite name.
My husband has Click ancestors but they don't seem to tie in yet with
these....

I surely would like to find out more about these Hoerners.
