John Singer/Senger of Lancaster County, PA

miabeth1 — 2012-05-06 17:51:21Z

I'd like to correspond with anyone who might have further information on John Singer/Senger of Earl or Leacock Township, Lancaster County, PA. He married Sarah Bender on 22 Nov 1805 at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in New Holland, PA. I know of two sons, Jacob Cyrus Senger(b. 1815) & Levi Singer (b. 1819), but there may be other children. Any leads as to his parents or information on John would be greatly appreciated.

You seem to have a lot of info on the Singer family. I have to ask if you might know where a Sally Ann Singer comes in, somehow i have her as a daughter of Peter Singer and Sarah Singer, Brother of Peter H Singer but she's not fitting in anywhere there. Now you gave me a name Sally Ann Learne so that could be where she comes in, I could have the last name wrong, and I have her in the wrong place. Or Could she be a wife to one of Either Peter Singer sons or Peter H Singers sons? daughter in law maybe.

lizabee1961 — 2012-01-19 21:09:57Z

I have Learne's in my tree. Herbert W. Learne was married to Cora Singer, the daughter of Peter H Singer and Christina. Herbert and Cora had 3 children, Jacob Learne, Elmer Learne, Mrs. Clarence Smiley and Harriet. Now Andrew Singer was the brother of Peter Singer correct, And that would be an Uncle to Peter H. Singer. Just so i get it right. I hope the learne info i gave you comes in handy.

Re: Peter Singer

CasandraDietz — 2012-01-19 17:42:27Z

Joseph Singer was born on 2 May 1829, the son of Andrew (Andreas) Singer and Sarah ANGLEMEYER. He was baptised on 11 July being sponsored by John Anglemier and his wife Margaret.
Joseph married Sally Ann Learn, the daughter of Andrew LEARN and Susanna KRESGE.
My records show that they had 5 children: Sabilla, Delilah, Milton, Amanda, & Emma.

Aaron Singer (1849-1922) & Singer Family, Monroe Co., Pa.
Posted by: Jeffrey Thomas (ID *****2862) Date: September 02, 2003 at 14:07:29
of 372

Commemorative Biographical Record of North Eastern Pennsylvania, J.H. Beers & Co., Chicago 1900, p. 1800.

Aaron Singer, the well-known postmaster and Merchant at Reeders, Monroe County, is a man of sound judgement and good executive ability, carrying forward to successful competition whatever he undertakes. This characteristic, combined with his undoubted integrity, has brought him prosperity, and has given him an honorable position among his fellow men.

Mr. Singer is a representative of one of the honored pioneering families of Jackson township. The first of the Singers to come to Monroe county was his grandfather, Christian Singer, who was born in Germantown, Penn., in 1777, on the day of the Battle of Germantown, and there grew to manhood. At an early age he came to Monroe county, being one of the first settlers in the vicinity of Reeders, Jackson township, where he followed coopering and farming until called from this life, at the age of sixty-three years.

In Hamilton township, Monroe county, he married a Miss Woodling, a native of the township who died in 183_. The children born to them were Andrew; Peter; Jacob, father of our subject; Hannah, the wife of John Dailey, of Pocono township, Monroe county; and Samuel. All are now deceased. For his second wife Christian Singer married Rachel Van Horn, by whom he had the following children: Christian; Benjamin; Eunice; Eliza Ann, wife of Reuben Possinger, of Jackson township; Mary, wife of Jacob Frounfelter, of Tobyhanna Mills; and Amos, the only one now living, who makes his home in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Jacob Singer was born in Monroe county, August 5, 1805, and was reared in Jackson township, where he was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth Van Horn, daughter of John Van Horn. She was born in that township, may 26, 1811, but her parents were natives of Berks county, Penn. After his marriage Mr. Singer continued to make his home in Jackson township, where he engaged in business as a farmer and cooper, and also followed lumbering for some years. In his family were nine children, namely: Josiah, who married and died at Tobyhanna Mills; William, a resident of Salem township, Wayne Co., Penn.; Susanna, wife of Elias Kresge, of Newfield, N.Y.; Mary, widow of Francis Stein, and a resident of Tobyhanna Mills; Almyra, wife of Sylvester Kresge of Chestnut Hill township, Monroe county; Jacob, a resident of Gouldsboro, Wayne county; Aaron, our subject; Louis, a resident of Jackson township; and James, of Chestnut Hill township.

Aaron Singer, whose name introduces this review, was born in Jackson township, November 6, 1849, and was reared in much the usual manner of farmer lads, assisting in the labors of the fields and attending the common schools of the neighborhood. At the age of twenty he began work in the lumber woods at Tobyhanna Mills, where he was employed for eighteen years, at the end of that time coming to Jackson township and embarking in farming on his own account, on a tract of seventy acres, a part of which is timber land; the remainder in under cultivation. In 1890 he became interested in general merchandising at Reeders, and now gives the greater part of his time to that business, in which he has met with gratifying success, receiving a liberal share of the public patronage.

On July 25, 1867, in Chestnut Hill township, Mr. Singer married Miss Lydia Kresge, a daughter of Michael and Sarah Ann (Shick) Kresge, and to them were born five children: Francis, who married Clara Sleicker, and lives in Pocono township, Monroe county; Jennie Izelia, who married Thomas Kresge, and died in 1890, leaving two children, Mamie and Archie; Marilla, who died young; Tilton, at home; and Nettie, wife if Arthur Arnold, of Stroud township, Monroe county. The wife and mother, who was a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, departed this life May 26, 1897.

Mr. Singer is also a member of the M.E. Church, and socially he has been identified with the Patriotic Order Sons of America for a number of years. Like his father, he is a staunch supporter of the Democratic party and its principals, and has most capably served his fellow citizens two years as constable and as township auditor for the same length of time. In 1890 he was appointed postmaster at Reeders, and is still filling that office, to the entire satisfaction of all concerned.

Re: Christian Singer family - eastern PA

lizabee1961 — 2012-01-05 13:49:20Z

For Peter H Singer this is what i have. Son of Peter Singer and Sarah Singer
Husband of Matilda Singer and Christina Singer
Father of Sarah Singer; Kate Carey; Hanna Singer-Palmer; Myrtle Singer/Martin/Staples. Maurice(or Morris?) Singer; Alfred Singer and Martin Singer. I know Kate Singer married Jefferson Carey, she was born April 7th 1882,I have a couple of pictures of the two of them together. Sarah born 1879 was the mother of Beatrice(or Bernice) and Hilda. Myrtle was Wife of John H Martin and Thomas Staples,
Mother of Dorcas/Betty Sommers; Ozella M Getz; Iona Repsher; Walter Martin and Charles Martin. My mother was very close to Hilda and Ozella.But that was so many years ago i forget most i knew, haha.I have posted a few pictures of my Singer family past in Facebook under the name of Johannes Singer, Bob Singer is a poster from this forum and has started a Singer page, please go and join. I just did and was surprised to see distant relatives there. this is Kate and Jefferson Carey. I have more of different Singers also.

Re: Peter Singer

lizabee1961 — 2012-01-05 13:25:17Z

I also have a Jefferson, Sally Ann and Sarah, also have juliana(Julyann maybe)just different spelling. Do all these sound familure? and are all from the same wife that you know of?

Re: Christian Singer family - eastern PA

CasandraDietz — 2012-01-05 00:56:40Z

I know - there is a lot of repetition of names in our Singer family. But here is what I have on Peter H.

He married Christina and later married Matilda. Christina is shown with him up to and including the 1920 census. Then in the 1930 census, he is shown with Matilda B Singer. That makes me fairly certain that the children were all Chritina's.

I have Peter H. and Christina as having only 6 children:
Martin, Morris, Alfred, Hannah, Sarah, and Cora.
I would be interested to know about what you have for Kate. Do you know when she was born? And Myrtle - what can you tell me about her? I have the name of Cora - but that could be a nickname for either Kate or Myrtle. That's what I love about this - learning more about the puzzle!

THANKS !
Sandy

Re: Peter Singer

CasandraDietz — 2012-01-05 00:33:34Z

HI... I have Peter H.'s siblings as follows:
Maria, Catherine, George Henry, Susanna, Elizabeth, Samuel, Isaiah, Mahlon, & Julyann.

Re: Christian Singer family - eastern PA

lizabee1961 — 2012-01-04 19:47:55Z

Thank you. I do have pictures of Christina Stiger. Do you know how many brothers and sisters Peter H Singer had? I know Peter H Singer my GGG grandfather, had 7 children, Sarah, Kate who married Jefferson Carey, Hanna-my gg grandmother who married Shuble Palmer, Myrtle, Maurice, Alfred, and Martin. I believe he had more. I'm also not sure if all these children are from Christina or Sarah.

Re: Christian Singer family - eastern PA

CasandraDietz — 2012-01-04 01:53:19Z

Christian had a son Peter (b.1801)
Peter married Sarah Haffner (or Hoffner) and they had a son named Peter H. (b. 1842).
I believe that Peter H. is the one you are talking about since he married Christina Stiger in 1867.

Re: Peter Singer

CasandraDietz — 2012-01-04 01:49:15Z

I don't have Alida Singer in my database - but I do know that Asa (or Aza) Singer was the son of Morris & Anna Singer, grandson of Peter H & Christina, great-grandson of Peter & Sarah, and g-g-grandson of Christian. Asa lived in Jackson Township, PA and there are still descendants living there, many of whom I knew growing up in Reeders. Asa and Evelyn had 6 children, I believe.

Peter Singer is my great great grandfather, he was married to Christine Singer and Matilda. I am looking for relatives of Peter Singer. I did find something that leads me to believe Peter's father may have been Christian Singer but can not find the link. Any Help? Thanks

Re: Christian Singer

lizabee1961 — 2012-01-02 23:36:21Z

I am the great great grand daughter of Peter Singer, he was married to a Christine Singer and a Matilda Singer. Was wondering if there might be a connection to Christian Singer that you are related to? He maybe the father of my Peter Singer.

Re: Christian Singer family - eastern PA

lizabee1961 — 2012-01-02 23:35:17Z
