251	According to a letter written by John William Zentmeyer to Rev. William DeShazo, Catharine and Burke Priddy moved to Ohio. In The History of Kansas City, Missouri, it is written that soon after 1832 they moved from Virgina to Warren County, Ohio. And that Burke owned a plantation and a number of slaves in Virginia, but became a teacher in Ohio. The 1840 Census has Burke Priddy in Union, Warren Ohio.	ZENTMEYER, Catherine (I87152)
252	According to a letter written by John William Zentmeyer to Rev. William DeShazo, John was a surveyor prior to becoming Clerk of the Court. After his marriage to Martha Penn, John and Martha made their home in the Floyd Courthouse. They moved to Patrick County in 1855, and John engaged in the mercantile business in Mayo Forge for the remainder of his life. Sons Edwin and Peter were associated with him.	ZENTMEYER, John Newton (I1651)
253	According to Chataigne's 1888-89 Virginia Business Directory for Patrick County, 'Zentmeyer & Sanders' were Tobacco Manufacturers in Mayo Forge.	ZENTMEYER, John Newton (I1651)
254	According to Chataigne's Virginia Gazetteer and Classified Business Directory, one E.P. Zentmeyer was the Postmaster in Mayo Forge, Virginia in 1888-89.	ZENTMEYER, Edwin Penn (I1731)
255	According to family lore, Harrison Santmyer, supported the South during the Civil War. I was told by my Grandmother (Fanny Ethel Santmyer Rowley), that her grandfathers, William Burns Shaw and Harrison Santmyer, fought against each other during the war. I have found no evidence that Harrison actually fought in the Civil War. He was, however, involved in copper and wagon building during the War. Thus far, I have not been able to pinpoint his location during the War years. In 1860, Harrison lived in Hardy Co., VA (now WV). Prior to that, in 1854, he was in Rockingham Co., VA. I have to wonder if perhaps he may have returned to Hardy Co. to support the Union. Or perhaps, did he bring his wife and children back to Lost River to stay with her family, while he went off to serve in the Confederate, or, possibly the Union Army. Their sixth child, Aaron, was born in 1861. All previous children were born two years apart, followed by a three year gap between George and Aaron. Then there was not another birth until 1867. Could the reason for the six year gap be that Harrison was engaged in the War? By 1870, Harrison, now in MD, had buried Leah and their two youngest children, married again and started a second family. The family was in VA in 1876 and by 1879, had settled in PA. This is where they finally put their roots down in Fayette Co., Mt. Pleasant area. All his children from his first marriage, except Emily, were on their own by 1880. He died from a gun shot would, inflicted by his own gun. One story is that he was cleaning his gun and it went off accidently - another is he held the gun to his head and pulled the trigger. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCKINGHAM CO., VA - BIRTH RECORDS IN COURTHOUSE Birth - James S.

Pleasant, PA cemetery. My father made the gravestone on his burial place." (Glenn's father J. Joseph is the son of Harrison and Catherine Howell Santmyer.) "Harrison was born in Shenandoah Co., VA in 1828. He died in 1905. My grandfather was a son of Barney Santmyer and Martha Elly Caine, both of Shenandoah Co., VA. Both were born and died there. They were of some substance and property. Barney's father was Jacob Santmyer and mother Jane Knapps. They were married in Frederick Co., VA in 1794. I have related Jacob back to Lancaster Co., PA where he was a member of the 2nd Lancaster Militia during the American Revolution in the 1770's (these records are in the PA archives). In the 1790's Jacob served in the VA Militia in Winchester, VA. Quite a number of Santmyers were in the Confederate army during that war including Harrison's brothers and nephews, - but not Harrison. He conducted a blacksmith and horse dealing business during the war period." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTE ON THE CHILDREN OF HARRISON & CATHERINE HOWELL SANTMYER: Izetta Barbour lists the children as: Isaac B., Jasaby, Frank, Joseph and Brouciu. Colleen Zak's lists the children as: Jacob, Robert, Isaac B (and step-daughter Emma) I have found in my research records of the following children: Jacob H., Lily, Robert R., Isaac Benton, Joseph, Franklin D. and Brancin. Lily and Jacob were twins. I have not found a death record for Lily, but her death was before 1880. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REFERENCES: FAMILY RECORDS & PAPERS IN SANTMYER FAMILY BIBLE.

256	According to family lore, Minnie, the oldest of the three girls, always acted weak and faint so she could escape helping with the household tasks. They were raised to be proper young ladies and Minnie took well to this role. While her mother pampered her, thinking she was a sickly child, Fanny Ethel and Margaret did the chores. Minnie sat and practiced her sewing stitches and the proper way to hold her teacup. It seems this pampering went to her head and thus, she always wanted the biggest and the best. And, why not? She and George lived in Perryopolis in 1923, but by the time of Oscar's death (winter of 1924/25) they were living in Connellsville. A short time after, they moved to a beautiful big home (presumably in Connellsville) that supposedly was financed in part with the settlement Helen Santmyer received for Oscar's death.

257	According to Frank's daughter (our mother) May Hobart Zentmyer, Frank's aunt Stella Picken Wood and her husband Dr. Everett Wood raised Frank and his sisters in Sedalia, Missouri after the death of Frank's father Sidney, when he was seven years old. But it is more likely that Frank and his sisters were not taken in by the Woods until after the death of Frank's mother Elizabeth Picken Hobart in 1896. In fact, probate records state that the children were still living in Hancock County Illinois on 12 Feb 1896, shortly after their mother's death.	Family F1173

261	According to the Biographical History of Chester and Delaware Counties by Cope and Ashmeade (the copy I have seen was entitled Historic Homes and Institutions and Genealogical and Personal Memoirs of Chester and Delaware Counties -Ed) published in 1901, Vol 2, page 394, "Robert Strahorn was a Scottish dissenter, who left his native land in order to escape religious persecution, and landed in America in April 1775, about the time of the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. He enlisted three times in the Continental Army, serving through the entire war, and never receiving a wound. He participated in some of the most memorable events which marked the struggle for independence, and was a sharer in many of the greatest of the hardships which fell to the lot of the devoted patriot army. He accompanied Washington when the latter, on that never-to-be-forgotten Christmas night, crossed the Delaware in order to surprise the Hessians at Trenton, and he shared all the sufferings of the winter at Valley Forge. Robert brought his two sons, Nathaniel and Samuel with him to America in 1775." (Most arrival records recorded males over sixteen years old, so Margaret was likely not recorded -Ed.) Robert "heroically ate rats with Washington at Valley Forge." from Ninety Years of Boyhood the autobiography of Robert E. Strahorn, Robert's great-great-grandson. "I also have a Robert Strayhorn who was born in 1733 in Scotland and had two sons Nathaniel and Samuel who were born in Ireland before emigrating to the America's in 1775, where he settled in the New London, Chester, PA area. Nathaniel married a lady by the name of Olympia and had 5 children Hannah, Samuel, Thomas, Elizabeth, and Peter. Of these folks, I have little else other that Nathaniel married in Montgomery CO PA. Robert's son Samuel, had descendants who settled in Ceder Rapids IA, Hardin CO IA, and other places in IA, as well as in New London PA, and Dakota territories as well as Cecil CO MD. This line contains 157 people and it is my belief that Eva Armitage compiled it." -Ed Reynolds, Rootsweb Archiver > STRAYHORN > 2000 > 0962906061	STRAYHORN, Robert (I86048)

269	Also buried in these Santmyer lots is a Miles Anderson. This information was supplied in July 2001 by Lester C. Martin, the caretaker, from Cemetery Records. I'm not certain if this Miles Anderson may be a son, thus Miles Anderson Santmyer or possibly the father or brother of Bess. He could even be a second husband of Bess.	LNU, Bess (Santmyer) (I0965)

272	Although Robert E. Strahorn's Ninety Years of Boyhood claims John Emmert was a Dutch Lutheran pastor, he was in fact of German descent. This was probably a misunderstanding of 'Pennsylvania Dutch,' which actually indicates German ancestry, a common misconception, which we have found in other family histories. But we have found no other indication that John Emmert was a pastor, and A history of the Lutheran Church in Pennsylvania 1638-1820: from the original sources" names not a single Emmert among the pastors chronicled. John consistently self-identified as a farmer, and the letter he wrote to his grandson in 1871 identified him as such, albeit as a religious man. But the letter did not display the command of English one might associate with a pastor.	EMMERT, Johannes/John (I85890)
273	Although the 1850 Census lists her birthplace as Roanoke, Roanoke did not exist in 1792. Roanoke County was formed in 1838, the town of Big Lick was established in 1852 and renamed Roanoke in 1882. Her birthplace was likely Cave Spring. She is listed as living with her brother David in 1850 and 1860.	ZENTMEYER, Elizabeth (I1647)
274	Although the 1907 History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa, pages 734 & 735 says Dianna was born in Pennsylvania, and the 1860 US Census recorded her being born in Virginia, David and Dianna's marriage record indicated she was born in Ohio, as did the History of Mercer and Henderson Counties, 1882, so we are going with Ohio.

276	Amy Viola Garber departed this life March 16th, 1901, aged 15 years, 11 months and 21 days. Amy was a dutiful child, one of those possessed with a sweet disposition, modest and retiring. Her days on earth were short. Her Sun is gone down while it was yet day. Pneumonia attacked her and in a short time Death claimed her.
