-------------------------

Hi Leta, I see you're busy on searching for our family members. I work
at it whenever I can. I do have more on the Shellhert line also the DeVinney
line. Hope I remember what you have. Benewell Kern's wife, Recbecka Shellhert's
father was Jacob Peter Shellhert his wife as far as I have found out was
Margaret Mantz They had 4 children one of whom was our ancestor, Recbecka
Shellhert who had a twin brother named Jacob Jr Shortly after the twins
were born their mother died. Jacob remarried to Mary Margaret Redman and
they had seven children. From information I received, Jacob Peter's father
was Johann Valentin Schellhardt, later Shellhart or Shellhert who arrived
at PA from Schwerstedt, Germany in 1792. None of these things are verified
but sharing with you what I have. Now for the DeVinney's
Sephrona Ellisaff ( Ella ) DaVinney's father was Henry Lanier DaVinney
b.4 Apr 1835 in OH d. Arp 1898 at New Buffalo, MI md Hannah Melvina Berry
on 24 Oct 1861 in OH
I think I got this from you, but not sure. Anyhow I need to bring it over
to your place so we can visit and share. Are you still at the same place
and are you still working ?
Hope your holidays are great. Yvonne
