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.

Peter Arp

Children
John Arp 1855 – 
Mariah "Jennie" Arp 1856 – 1928 m. Charles Zeigler
Ellen Arp  1857– 1916 m. John Stratton
Sarah Elizabeth Arp 1858 – 1870 died 1y7m9d
George D Arp 1860 – 1928 Never Married
Clara Arp 1863 – 1940 m. James Wilson
Edward M Arp 1866 – 1936 m. Margaret Shriver
Susan Arp 1872 –  m. Williams

According to Clara's death certificate she was born March 11 1863.  According to George's death certificate, he was born October 22 1863.  Using a tombstone calculator on the dates given in the death certificates, I came up with October 22 1862 for George, which makes even less sense - there are only 5 months between October 62 and March 63,  In the 1870 census & 1880 there is a 2 year age difference between George and Clara - my best guess is that George was actually born in 1860.

Time Line:

1826 - Anna Born
According to son George's death certificate, Anna was born in Liberty PA

1828 - Peter Born
According to son George's death certificate, Peter was born in Williamsport Pa
