Genealogy has become a hobby for me over the last 10 years. For me, it's like a puzzle, I love fitting the pieces together. But over the years, I've researched a lot that does not pertain to our family lines. Some for extended family, some for close friends, and some because I was trying to rule out lines to figure out where our line went exactly. I do not want these notes on my Heather's Genealogy Notes blog - because they are not our lines. But I do like to share all of my research, in case it benefits others. That is what this blog is for - research I have done that does not apply to our own family lines, but may be helpful for someone else.

Arp Line To Lester E. Lewis

In a history book, I find "Henry Arp, who was reared and who died in Pensylvania, having lived at the time of the Revolution in which great struggle he fought gallantly for the independence of the Colonies."  But so far that is all I can find on Henry Arp.  His name could be spelled a multitude of ways, so it could take awhile to find him.  Henry's son Peter served in the War of 1812, there's a link to download his full War of 1812 Pension File, on his page below.  Peter was granted a land bounty for his service, that may be what brought him to Lycoming County, but I have not looked at the land records to be sure.

 There are no Arp's listed in the DAR patriot index.
