REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER GONE!
Received this transcription from LBK. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us!
ANOTHER OLD SOLDIER GONE!
DIED--On the 16th, April, ult, CHRISTOPHER BURKET, of Shade township, Somerset County, PA., age 102 years.
The deceased was the father of a numerous family, and left a widow aged 96, with whom he has lived in the bonds of matrimony for upwards of 75 years. He was born, it is believed, in Franklin County, having removed from the banks of the Conogocheague to this county, about 72 yrs. since.
He is buried with the honors of war. Capt. Hite' company, of Stoystown Guards, accompanied his remains to the tomb, and firing the customary salute over the Patriot's grave, for he was a soldier in the "times which tried men's souls." Under the celebrated Captain Brady, on the Western frontiers, whether engaged as a spy, or skirmisher, or hand to hand, with the merciless Indian, he proved equal to all the hazards, toils and dangers of the perilous time. In fine he was one of the band of hardy Pioneers of the West, of whom the immortal Washington made the declaration, "that their service were equal, if not superior in daring bravery and heroic deeds, to those of the Heroes of the regular line.
It is proper to add that a very large concourse people attended the corpse to its last resting place, and a few brief extemporaneous, but elegant remarks where made at the tomb, by Samuel Kimmel, Esq., of Stoystown, in relation to the life, character, and services of the deceased veteran.
Peace to his ashes.

DALEY CEMETERY SHADE TWP. SOMERSET COUNTY PA
Fred, Dad and I, visited the Daley Cemetery (the day after a Nor'easter), and upon leaving, spotted a headstone for Ezra Newman and his wife, Justine. On my way into PA my dad said I should look him up, and little did I know I would locate his headstone in the Daley. I wrote to him, and he called me. We talked, and my next trip, I later met up with Ezra. We returned to the cemetery for a visit. He lived abt 3 houses away from it. He now lies in the Daley Cemetery. That is when I got a good look at the ledgers. Though he seemed to think that Mrs. Landis, who was the current treasurer was not given the very old books and whoever had them prior to her never turned them over. That was his opinion. Maybe there are more records?
We know Christopher is buried in the Daley Cemetery. Also, it's written by (enter his name) that Israel Burket is also buried there, but since there is a younger Israel also buried there we hope Mr. (blank) was not confusing the elder with the younger. Further research maybe fruitful. There is mention of a Franklin and a Amand too. Work in progress.
Christopher Burket, confirmed by his 3rd great grandson Ezra Newman b. 1918, that we are descendants of his. That it's not only family legend that Christopher served in the Revolutionary War, but that his wife, Mary Ann Ross, had also served. I asked him how he knew this? I had not located any documentation on Mary Ann serving. He stated, "His grandmother, Dora Burket b. 1875, had told him." He knew nothing of how she served just that she had. He was happy to share the information and wondered out loud, due to his age, who was going to keep track of the family lineage. I chuckled to myself because if he only knew the descendants that where trying to sort out the various lines. Ezra had no previous knowledge of the generations before Christopher and Mary Ann.
But as fate has it, Christopher's father, Israel, left us a paper trail. That document gives us great insight into a early pioneer's life in Southwestern PA.
I would like to correspond with any descendent of Israel's and especially to any one who is a descendant of a Jacob Burket d. abt 1834 of St. Clair Twp, Bedford Co.PA. Please contact michellehamel821@gmail.com Paper trail 100% shows that he is a son of Israel. Love those paper trails!

ISRAEL BURKHARD wife Anna Maria Barbara
Original post 2009, released draft 2015.
Israel Burkhard (as in Church record) b. abt 1723 d. Dec 1804 Somerset County, PA Date of death source: ( I found sourced in his court papers.) Obtained copy in old jail house in Somerset in 2004. Married Anna Maria Barbara: Maiden name (Private) birthdate: (Private) Place of Birth (Private) Source: LBK Proof of marriage is the church record.
Two brave people, with a baby girl, come together to start a new life. If Christopher is fighting Indians no doubt Israel would have been too. Did they ever dream they would have that kind of history when looking back over a long, long marriage. WOW!
Source of marriages for Israel's living children, at the time of his death, source is his probate papers.
Children are:
Catarina Elisabeth Burkhard. b. 09 Aug 1747 Germany. Source LBK
She married to George Feltz per Israel's probate papers as indicated above and for all the following too.
George (named first in Israel's probate papers) Source: petition I picked up in court house.
Born Johann George Burgert (as transcribed) b. 16 Aug 1755 Berks County, PA record Oley Hill Church of Berks County. Found myself a hard copy of George's translated birth record off of ancestry.com Pennsylvania Church records.- Adams, Berks, and Lancaster Counties. 1729-1881 hard copy from Ancestry.com. This is Susan Jackman's line, she states. Not sure she ever figured out what happened to her George Burget/Burket. This is good evidence that family was in Berks Co., PA actually a excellent paper trail. I love paper trail.
District Twp, Berks Co., PA Pike's township more work to be done.
There is a George BURGOT a List of names as Taxables in Bedford County1778-1779 Source: Helen Shaffer Hill. Obtained on my 07-16-2009 trip to Somerset Co.
George and Catherine Borckhart had son John b. 28 Nov 1789 d. 09 Jan 1790. Source: Eber Cockley notes.
THIS JOHN IS NOT JOHN JOHNATHON BURKET b. 1795 per old German bible dated 1826 in my possession. John Johnathon's bible had a note in it to pay $10.00 to Cornelius Burket dated 1873
so we know this John John is still alive. He sent the request to a Richard Green to pay it so what business is John John in that he has a bookkeeper? So is Cornelius the son of John Johnathon? Let's take a look in my file. TBC.
Johan Jacob b. May 1757 Berks Co., PA d. 1834 St. Clair Twp., Bedford County, PA
There is a JACOB listed as a Single Freeman on the 1778-1779 Taxables in Bedford County
Source: Helen Shaffer Hill. I obtained a copy 16 July 2009 trip to Somerset Co. PA. Could be Jacob, son of Israel? The other Jacob Burget/Burckert/Burkhart (from his pension request obtained on my 2009 trip.) Was b. 08 May 1758 who resided in Reading, Berks Co., PA didn't moved to Allegheny Twp. until 1785.
Jacob is confirmed to be the 2nd son of Israel Source: SHJ. Jacob Burket's court papers.
Christopher Burket Sr. b. abt d. 16 Apr 1848 date of death source from LBK
married to Mary Ann Ross Source of marriage: her father's will/probate. Is listed as Stophel in his father-in-law's court papers. Now, my great grandfather John L.C. Burket, who was 10 when his grandfather Christopher died, is also nicknamed Stophel, yet he has no Christopher in his name...so go figure. Christopher, even in his advanced age made sure his name is spelled BURGET on the handwritten pension request he went into the Somerset Courthouse to have them submit that request, like all soldiers that served and survived the act pass by Congress for their service pension. It was spelled 3 times as Burgert and on all 3 occasions the 2nd r has a strike thru it. Love paper trails!
Burget and Burkard are one in the same...find link and post.
Albert Hill's family indicates that in the Nauvoo Baptisms for the dead there is a Baptismal record for Stofel in the year 1841. Well, according to Susan Jackman, that is the year Christopher died. I've never gotten the actual Nauvoo records from her. I will need to hunt down the records for review. But Christopher didn't die in 1841 he died in 1848 so much for that. Can this even be believed now?
Father: James Ross b. d. 1801 Somerset Co., PA Source: JM
A James Ross is also listed on the Taxables in Bedford County 1778-1779. Listed as a Non Resident and a James Ross again under the non residents listed as Ross James sold to Burnside.
Mary Burket married to Henry Boose. Source: Israel's probate papers.
Rudolph Boose b 21 May 1796 Brothersvalley, Somerset Co., PA
d. 31 July 1870 Somerset Co.
Margaret married to Henry Leech variants could be Leach/Lynch.
Barbara Burket married to Nicholas Rayman variants could be Reiman/Rehman. Source: Isa probate papers.
The township was settled at a very early day. If the traditions of the German Baptist Church (referred to else where) are correct even within a couple of years, there were settlers already here before this region was open to legal settlement. In addition to the names of early settlers that have been mentioned in other chapters, Israel Burket, John Rhoads, Martin Suter and Christopher (or Christian) Yoder and his sons were here as early as 1775, or perhaps even earlier. Source: History of Bedford and Somerset Co., PA
In May 1984 the Laurel Messenger ran the following story on Stonycreek Twp's Taxpayers (TBC)
but from this article we know Israel was in Bedford Co., 1775 which later becomes part of Somerset County, PA. One must remember that from 1763-1769 there where only 3 Townships in the whole county of Bedford. Per the History of Bedford and Somerset Co, written by Daniel Rupp, Chapter 5, there where 160 people in Bedford Twp. A early map exists that reflect the Burket name on it (enter map).
In addition to the probate paperwork, I obtained on my first visit to the county seat, I located a petition to Israel's probate paperwork. In this petition Christopher's older brother, George, is addressing the court and at some point George's name is crossed off and Jacob's name written in it's place. Had George died after the petition was written? It did take a long time for Israel's probate to be wrapped up.
Nice thing about these papers is it really give great insight into how a early settler lived. He actually owned more than I imagined. Owned a shot gun. How many gun makers where there in the 1700's?
He owned a box of shoemaker's tools. Interesting! Since his occupation in the old country was surprisingly different per source: LBK. He owned cigars, when he died, and had a debt for them. It is safe to assume he smoked them. That is about the only assumption one wants to make when piecing the Burket puzzle together. What amazes me is the number of items Israel owned...books, spectacles, a bundle of books, a forge book, and one listed as other book and a almanac...he owned a lot of books for someone who signed an X upon arriving. Gives one the impression he could read some language. Future posts will disclose this issue. No doubt he could read German. He didn't sign an X on the other document in my possession.
354 acres adjoining Ludwick C and the acreage is in Shade Twp and in Stony Creek Twp.
The land could not be divided to or among the parties without spoiling the value of the land.
Jacob sold off Israel's land.
At the time of Israel's death he had 3 living sons, listed in his probate records. Doesn't mean he didn't have more children, it just means those where living when he passed or by the time the probate papers where filed.
Israel's wife Anna Maria Barbara .
She was still alive in 1805 as she has left her mark in the court paperwork. She also appears on a later census. John (private) might be her grandson in law? More adventures into the courthouse will provide the answer if the paper trail survived mother nature.
Now, the additional petition I found in Somerset where George's name is crossed off, and Jacob's is written in. The next paragraph George was listed first as the petitioner than crossed off, and Jacob's name written in and where Jacob's name was initially written in is crossed off and George written in. It appears the person doing the petitioning changed. Birth records for both George and Jacob exist, but what happened to Israel's son John George?
Since Christopher's daughter obituary states he's of German descendent that gives us some clue that Israel is from Germany. Yes, yes he is!!! Love that paper trail! And so is his wife, Anna Maria Barbara maiden name: private.
Susan Jackman found a Israel Burket on the land warrants in Berks County when she happened to searching Bedford and since it was alphabetical she thought she would take a look at Berks land warrants, she states he was listed under various spellings. Now, since land warrants don't show relationship, I'm not sure what proof that it is our Israel. Interesting because one of the spellings was the same way it appears on the 1812 paperwork. More work to be done. She states, but no documentation of source sent, but I will source her here for this entry.
Also, probable son John b 08 May 1758 d. 1805, PA

CHRISTOPHER BURKET Sr, d. 16 Apr 1848 AND MARY ANN ROSS
Christopher Burket Sr. d. 16 Apr 1848 married to Mary Ann Ross b. abt 1752 d. (see headstone picture I took) she was age 96 when Christopher died in 1848.
Both of them appear her father's, James Ross's estate paperwork. He as Stophel.
Lt. Col. James Ross 8th PA Regiment under Col. Dan'l Broadhead's 8th PA Regt.
Regt'l returned 09 June 1777. I obtained this record from the PA state archives on 28 Feb 2006.
I ordered and received Christopher's docs from the National Archives.
Per his daughter's obit, he lived to be a 104 and was of German descent. Per LBK he's 102. Married and leaves a widow and a large family. He was from the banks of the Cononcocheague now located in Franklin County.
I located where the government approved his pension, this in the Statues of Large, which was a record of laws passed. Also, I e-mailed the information to SH Jackman in hopes she would source me.
Children of Christopher:
Michael Burket (shoemaker) b. 1784-1790 Stoney Creek Twp, Bedford Co., PA
1810
1820
1830 Michael bartered shoes and labor in exchange for food from the Mose's accounts and memoirs. I love to read the old newspapers and publications. This was published in the Laurel Messenger page 345 Feb, 1989.
On one of my trips to the Daley Cemetery, I discovered documentation that there is a Mrs. Michael Burket interred there. This cemetery at one time had been replotted on paper. I have two pages.
Israel Burket Lot No. 10 died 24 Dec 1866 age 50 yrs. 8 m. 4d.
Mrs Michael Burket, age not known.
Below that Geo. Anderson, unknown, Mary Anderson, unknown,and John Anderson, unknown. I did find a George Anderson on the Mortality Schedules who died at the age of 17 on the RR.
But than on another page, and or book, Lot 69 Israel Burket O.P #45 Israel Burket Apr 20, 1816 Dec 24, 1866. Than George Anderson, May Anderson and John Anderson.
So we have Lot 10 than we have Lot 69 than old plot 45.

Rev'd email from Linda states: My grandfather, Ira Burkett b. 1900 Lola, Kansas
he was the child of James Franklin Burkett, grandson of Richard Burkett a great grandson of Michael Burkett. They where there for a very short time but I do find them on the 1900 Kansas Census. Rec'vd e-mail back from Linda regarding Joseph Burket in Perry Twp, Richland Co., PA on the 1870 census. Noting that Richland is the county that Richard died in and she see's him on the 1880 census also.

Israel (son of Israel b. 1791) b. Apr 1816 d. 24 Dec 1866 Interred in the Daley Cemetery, Shade Twp., PA. married to Mary Lape they had the following children:
Noah b. abt 1838,
Daniel b. 24 Jan 1841
Rachel Burket b. 5 Jan 1843 married a Spade and she was blessed with a long life. A descendent of hers wrote a essay that won Third Place titled, "THE SECRET OF A LONG LIFE." by Catherine Butler.
Now, it states in this essay that Rachel was born near Johnstown, Cambria County, PA.
That her parents where Israel and Mary Lake...well, I seen the Lape name enough to surmise that it was most likely Lape and I e-mailed Susan Jackman and I said, "How many times have you ever seen the name LAKE....none! That most likely it was Lape. I've seen Lape all over the place and my grandmother's sister married a Lape. Susan responded back to me after she did some additional research, and that it was indeed Lape not LAKE. The Lapes appear in my tree at least two other times. Now what I liked about this essay was that it mentioned Wayne Twp, Wayne Co., Ohio. So now I must find those darn notes so I don't mess up the details.
Frank Burket. Sometime after his service in the 133rd, he moved to Wooster, Wayne Co., Ohio. His Uncle Levi was said to have moved there with him. Franklyn married a Rebecca Lucy Manges per copy of death record. Unable to make contact with direct descendant so I obtained copy from Ohio Death Records. Wonder, is she related to Joseph F. Manges? I had a Great Aunt, Flo, who was married to Joe. Both of them are buried in the Daley Cemetery.
Anyways, their children where:
I have a two birth records for one Burket b. 18 Mar 1869 No first name to a Franklin and Rebecca Burket.

It was hotter than heck the day my dad and I walked thru and around and around this cemetery. We where in there along time. I approached a couple that was also in the cemetery and they pointed us in the direction of the grounds keepers house. That's when I discussed the transcribed records that I printed off the internet. She informed me where each section was so I knew the general vacinity of the graves. I remember seeing one little stone that had initials on it that match but can't say for sure it was one of the markers I was looking for.

Sudden Death--Mrs. Matilda Burkhart, wife of Christian Burkhart of Stoneycreek Twp., while visiting at Mr. Henry Custer's in Quemahoning twp., was found dead on the morning of December 6th. It appears that Mrs. Burkhart retired about 12 O'clock the preceding night in her usual health. Mr. and Mrs. Custer, who where in the same room, heard her breathing, not making her appearance at the usual time, Mrs. Custer went to the room to call her and found her dead.

Hiram Burket aka Peter.
He was a civil war vet, married three times, had 33 kids, 19 grew to adulthood and he's not on your website. He lived in Allegheny Twp. He's a cousin to my great grandfather, Cyrus. Could he be talking about a 2nd cousin or even a third? Doubtful because Peter served in the Civil war so most likely a first cousin.
Both of them appear her father's, James Ross's estate paperwork. He as Stophel.
Lt. Col. James Ross 8th PA Regiment under Col. Dan'l Broadhead's 8th PA Regt.
Regt'l returned 09 June 1777. I obtained this record from the PA state archives on 28 Feb 2006.
I ordered and received Christopher's docs from the National Archives.
Per his daughter's obit, he lived to be a 104 and was of German descent. Per LBK he's 102. Married and leaves a widow and a large family. He was from the banks of the Cononcocheague now located in Franklin County.
I located where the government approved his pension, this in the Statues of Large, which was a record of laws passed. Also, I e-mailed the information to SH Jackman in hopes she would source me.
Children of Christopher:

1830 Michael bartered shoes and labor in exchange for food from the Mose's accounts and memoirs. I love to read the old newspapers and publications. This was published in the Laurel Messenger page 345 Feb, 1989.
On one of my trips to the Daley Cemetery, I discovered documentation that there is a Mrs. Michael Burket interred there. This cemetery at one time had been replotted on paper. I have two pages.
Israel Burket Lot No. 10 died 24 Dec 1866 age 50 yrs. 8 m. 4d.
Mrs Michael Burket, age not known.
Below that Geo. Anderson, unknown, Mary Anderson, unknown,and John Anderson, unknown. I did find a George Anderson on the Mortality Schedules who died at the age of 17 on the RR.
But than on another page, and or book, Lot 69 Israel Burket O.P #45 Israel Burket Apr 20, 1816 Dec 24, 1866. Than George Anderson, May Anderson and John Anderson.

CHRISTOPHER JR AKA CHRISTIAN AND MATILDA AKA TILLIE (GULL/GOLL) BURKET
Original post 2009
Christopher Jr. aka Christian b. abt 1798 d. 10 Feb 1878 and his 2nd wife Matilda had 13 children.
(Christopher was married twice...my original post from 03/09/10...wife unknown. Had 4 children, oldest was a male. Per census.)
Matilda Gull b. 06 May 1813 d. 06 Dec 1874 Quemahoning, Somerset Co., PA. She was born to Jacob Goll/Gull and Catherine Kauffman. Matilda's baptismal record is the source of her birth. See my file for source of death.
When I started researching back in 2005 no one knew what Matilda's maiden name was. So after years of researching and thinking the place they where from was so small....he had to marry a local gal, I started looking at all the Matilda's in the paper trails that existed.
IN 200? where is that email? I contacted one individual who had a gedcom with a Matilda Gull/Goll in it she stated she didn't know who that person was but she had a cousin who entered the info and she obtained it from his Gedcom, but she failed to site him. At the same time I contacted another man, unaware who he was at the time, about an individual he had in his Ged com that I was also researching and he responded to my email and signed his name Tom Gull. I couldn't resist asking him about the Matilda Gull. I informed him I was looking at on the baptismal records,and he stated he didn't know anything about her more than what was on that baptismal record. I explained why I was researching her (she had the Matilda name and that my great great grandmother was a Matilda Burket). Than putting two and two together he remembered seeing Christian Burket's name in a family document, but didn't know why it appeared in the document. There was no reference to the relationship. Tom sent me the page, and sure enough this was my great great grandmother Matilda I was looking for....she was the Gull/Goll! Mystery solved! WOW!
Tom was generous enough to give me all his work he had done on the Goll/Gull lines.
1840 Christopher Jr is listed as Christian Burchcart on the 1840 census in Somerset Co., PA
1849 On the fourteenth day of April of 1849 Matilda Burket purchases 419 acres of land located in Allegheny Twp., Somerset Co., PA.
1850 Christian and Matilda appear on the 1850 Allegheny Twp Census

1874 died
Ok, I picked up on another trip a article of agreement, dated 1873 that states 300 acres of the land is to be held in escrow....now, had they sold off the other 149 acres along the way????Looks like another trip to me! There is no mention abt the other 149 acres in this article of agreement.
Matilda died first, and Christopher Jr. died walking on the tracks between Mineral Point and Garret.

Apparently, Oliver owed a debt for quite a while and when Matilda died and her estate was being probated the man Oliver owed money to was bringing his claim forward thru the use of the Sheriff's document to present to the administrator. The doc is extremely faded and at times very difficult to read. But I can read the dates and will post them.

I couldn't resist asking him about the Matilda Gull. I informed him I was looking at on the baptismal records,and he stated he didn't know anything about her more than what was on that baptismal record. I explained why I was researching her (she had the Matilda name and that my great great grandmother was a Matilda Burket). Than putting two and two together he remembered seeing Christian Burket's name in a family document, but didn't know why it appeared in the document. There was no reference to the relationship. Tom sent me the page, and sure enough this was my great great grandmother Matilda I was looking for....she was the Gull/Goll! Mystery solved! WOW!
Tom was generous enough to give me all his work he had done on the Goll/Gull lines.

JOHN LEVI CYRUS BURKET b. 19 Feb 1838 d. 04 Apr 1916 Stoney Creek Twp, Somerset Co., PA. Buried on 06 Apr 1916 in the Downey Cemetery, Somerset Co., PA.
Undertaker was no other than a Ross.
He was baptized 27 May 1838 in the Glade Lutheran Church as it appears in their register.
Born to parents: Christopher and Matilda Burket.
He was named after a minister and a doctor....OK, so this minister's name is going to help me out a lot! Crossing my fingers! His nickname was Stophel (Stouffel) just like his grandfathers!!!
I'm not going to try and guess who's on the 1840 census in this household due to the nature of the times...anyone could be living with anyone.
Appears on the 1850 Census
Appears on the 1860 Census.
Appears on the 1870 Census in Allegheny Twp., Somerset Co., PA Post Office Wellersburg with Louisa and Jess age 4, Alice age 2, along with his brother, Walter B. age 21 and his wife, Dora...I have her maiden name and their daughter, Josephine.
Louisa dies 16 Feb 1871
Marries Sarah Jane 5 Dec 1872
Appears on the 1880 Census with Sarah along with his children Salome and Walter from his first marriage and Maggie, Myra D., George, and Anna.
Adam Imgrund, Herman Long, and Azariah Lambert all lived within one mile of the Burkets.
Sarah Barnhart b. 24 Mar 1850 d. 23 Dec 1927 in Jerome, Conemaugh Twp, Somerset Co., PA
Buried on 26 Dec 1927 in the Downey Cemetery, Somerset Co., PA
Sarah died living with my grandmother Edith.
Sarah's parents where George Barnhart b. 11 June 1813 d. 18 Jun 1896. His death record is recorded as a handwritten note in the old ledger books I viewed in Somerset Co., PA. His obit appears in the Hearld of Truth, Vol. XXXIII, No. 14, July 15 1896.
BARNHART- On the 28th of June 1896, in Jenner Twp., Somerset Co., PA., Bro. George Barnhart, aged 83 years, 17 days. He was buried on the 30th. Funeral services by Samuel Gindlesperger and L.A. Blough. George and Catherine nee Hershberger are both buried in the Manges cemetery.
My grandmother always stated she was PA Dutch. She is a descendent of Blough's, Hershbergers, and Berkey thru Catherine's line. Now, there is another line of Barnhart's around the same time and I've seen where descendents from our line have us in the wrong lineage. It can get tricky!
Fred Bittner gave me a photo of a young family...young man, women, a toddler, and a baby. Photo wasn't marked and I've passed the photo around...no one seems to know who they are but I noticed the young man appears to be cross-eyed and Cyrus was cross-eyed.
Now, I have a painted portrait of John and Sarah, which date from 1872, it's their wedding photo. And of course it's painted so they didn't paint him as cross-eyed. With that I never made the connection until I looked at it again. Nice cabin in the photo.
Fred and I met by chance and I am so glad to have met him. I had placed a call to the Berlin Historical Society because I wanted to book an apppointment. I needed to come into town on a day they where closed. So as I explained to the gentleman who indicated they only had one Burket buried close by (which was weird because there use to be so many in the area) and I said, "Well, my father will take me to the cemetery that he use to take his mother to and than I would know if we are speaking of the same Burket." My father couldn't recall the name of the cemetery but knew the location. He stated there was a local man also working that Burket lineage and I asked him what his name might be and he indicated, "Fred Bittner". I said, "Well, you give Mr. Bittner my name and number because my grandmother's sister had married a Bittner". I think in abt 15 mintues Fred called me. So we agreed to met at the Berlin Historical Society and we agreed to bring our photos. Amazingly, he had the proof version of the same photo that we have. That is the final painted version of the Burket family. I'm told or read they had traveling photographers that would go cabin to cabin. They had actually cut and pasted John into the photo and one girl in the photo (from other previous photos) and the painted version didn't reflect one girl, in particular, as a girl more like a boy. When my mother asked my grandmother, before she lost her sight, who the boy was in the portrait my grandmother's reply was, " The one must have been a neighborhood kid that joined in the photo as it was a big tah do to have a photo done back than". This particular portrait is from 1896...my grandmother is the baby in the photo. Looks like it was done around the fall season of 1896. Well, with Fred's love of genealogy, he had collected the older photos that his Aunt Sadie had...his Aunt Sadie was the daughter of Margaret. So we have a nice collection. Oh and lets not forget the trips to the various cemeteries...the one where we had to park half way up a mountain and walk the rest of the way up...Geez, I know there where snakes somewhere close! Anyways, that was the resting place of Sarah Barnhart's mother and father and her Hershberger relations. Wow, what a view!
My Aunt Alice did recall my grandmother having a sister, who based on the story, was Maggie. Margaret died the year before my father was born making this Aunt abt 9 years old at the time of Maggie's death.
Children with John:
Margaret Ellen Burket b. 10 Nov 1873 d. 29 Feb 1932 married twice
2nd marriage to Howard Henry Bittner
Per Fred Bittner, Maggie was married twice, first to a A.V. Musser. They had a daughter, Edyth Mae who married a John Bender. They had 7 children to this union.

Infant Burket d. 28 May 1877 buried in Schellsburg, Bedford Co., PA Section A
Infant Burket d. 28 May 1877 Buried in Schellsburg, Bedford Co., PA Section A
Now, I must make a comment abt Schellsburg so I'm choosing to make it here.
The records for .....Schellsburg. I talked with the grounds keepers wife and she was the one who did up the plot map and I told her I hadn't seen any headstones so how did she make up the chart that she had? She said that she had walked thru the cemetery for years and decided to do up the plot map and I pointed out that Cyrus hadn't been married three times....Oh, remember the old legend? Anyways, he would have to have had 3 wifes and two at the same time based on her chart. She said, "Years ago there use to be a lot more headstones in that cemetery but they no longer exist and when she did the chart, they might have been there. I'm thinking it's a transcription error...but could the old family legend be true after all? Could that death date be 28 May 1872 and not 1877. We know how old stones are hard to read. Anyways, they are in section A . Sarah Jane and John where not married until Dec of 1872. My mother was the one that told me the 3 marriage story and the wife's died in childbirth and my father remembers his mother stating children died in a fire and his Uncle on his father's side did die from injuries substained in a fire and the wife died in the fire. But no kids died in that particular fire so did the stories become meshed together? My great grandfather, Cyrus, did have a fire in 1877. Did this Sarah b 1854 d. 28 May 1877 die in the fire with the infants that are also buried in the same cemetery that share a common death date. So I know I have some old newspapers to hunt thru to get great details....more to come. Since death dates are different, I surmise the dates are right and the name on the stone was never transcribed correctly so who is in that grave? Work in progress. That will help untangle the old stories!!!
