501 Elizabeth may have been a Lee, Richard’s 1st cousin. Elizabeth (I7683)
 
502 Elizabeth was 78-1-28 when she died. Chaney, Elizabeth (I5763)
 
503 Elizabeth was a PFC in the US Army. Dresow, Elizabeth L (I5468)
 
504 Elizabeth was living without her husband and her four children in Clinton Co., Ohio in 1850.

Research: There is a marriage record in Delaware for John Griffin m. Elizabeth Marah, 20 Oct 1816. However, it appears this is the marriage of John Spruance Griffin (1780-1832) and Elizabeth Broadaway (widow Marsh) (1789-1871) and not the correct marriage (per Thomas Hale Streets, “Samuel Griffin, of New Castle Co. on the Delaware”, 1905, GoogleBooks) Since Cyrena was born in Ohio, it’s likely they were married in Ohio. 
Elizabeth (I576)
 
505 Elizabeth was previously married and her husband died in Nevada, where she remarried to Greer. Her first two children, therefore, are probably by her first husband.

She is in Bodie in 1880 with her daughter and son-in-law. She was living in Santa Ynez as late as 1910.

Mary Catherine’s death certificate indicates Elizabeth was born in New York.

The Story of the Santa Ynez Valley by Joanne Rife published 1977

Mrs. Greer’s Restaurant & boarding house.

“At the rear of the boarding house stood Greer’s Hall, a combination dance hall & town hall. Mrs. Greer was a widow and had arrived in Santa Ynez in 1884 with a small child in tow to establish a restaurant & boarding house. She & her husband had started west via covered wagon, but he had died en route in Nevada. The journey had been a perilous one, including an Indian Massacre, but Mrs. Greer had persevered, and in Santa Ynez she built a hall for music & frolic. (the ad below was in the local paper the Argus – Mar 7, 1908). Also there was John Lee’s Sagunto Street livery, with its row of chairs in front was a center for town gossip.

---------

MRS. E. A. GREER, one of the early and successful settlers of the town of Santa Ynez, was born at Harper's Ferry, and was a daughter of John Cochrane, a contractor and builder of that locality. Miss Cochrane was first married in 1851; being left a widow, she remarried in 1866, at Dayton, Nevada, to Henry Greer, a native of Belfast, Maine, and together they came to California in 1868, stopping at Santa Barbara until purchasing a ranch of 160 acres in the west end of Montecito Valley. They cultivated some fruit and were among the first to plant orange trees. Mrs. Greer came to Santa Ynez in 1884, during the infancy of the town, and has since been one of its prominent residents. She purchased one-quarter of a block, 150 x 200 feet, upon which she first built her store and residence, and later a large livery stable. In 1888 she erected the town hall, called the Greer Hall, upon which she has placed a large brass bell, the first bell of the town. Adjoining her store she also established a restaurant, which she has continued with success to the present time. Her store is general merchandise, and she keeps a full line of dry goods, groceries, hardware and household supplies. She also has a ranch of 160 acres in Pinie Canon, which is well-stocked with horses and cattle. Mrs. Greer has four children, three daughters and one son. She is a woman of great executive ability and should feel proud of her well deserved success.

531 Excerpted from “The Past and Present of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Red Hill, Pennsylvania (1739 - 1970)” by Raymond A. Kline:

p. 12
“Sometime between 1806 and 1807, John Adam Beysher became schoolmaster and organist. The exact date when he arrived is not recorded, but his oldest son, Jonas, was baptized by Rev. F. W. Geisenhainer on July 12, 1807. At a congregational meeting on St. Michael’s Day, September 29, 1809, he was elected secretary of the church council and continued in that office until 1835. He was the son of a German immigrant, who had located in Bedminster, Bucks County. He must have been well qualified to serve in the double capacity of schoolteacher and organist, for he had as many as seventy or eighty pupils gathered around him, who had come distances of three, four and five miles. His standing rule was “First come -- first served”. All endeavored to arrive at an early hour, lest they might not have an opportunity to recite that day. By candle light the arrivals came. Five recitations were offered to each pupil daily, provided he had not been tardy. By candle light, again they wended their way home. His textbooks were: The A-B-C Book, the Psalter, The Old Testiment, The Catechism and later the “Bauren Freund”, a German newspaper published at Pennsburg. Besides reading, he also taught arithmetic and penmanship, he himself being a skilled penman. His punishments were standing on one leg, riding a wooden jack, sitting in the dungeon and the smart of the whip. He sang, prayed and labored with his pupils like a sincere and faithful man and not without good results. He died in the seventy-ninth year of his life. His remains are buried at Peace Church, Tohicken, Bucks County.” 
Beysher, John Adam (I9321)

533 Family legend has it that Davis is the suspected killer of two Jayhawkers (or Mexican bandits) who killed his brothers in 1863. About 1880, Davis moved from Greenwood with his family 40 miles west into Indian Territory, near Cowlington,
Oklahoma. They later moved to what is now Pittsburg County, Oklahoma. Delie had about eight children, five of whom survived infancy. Davis died of a lung and throat ailment in the home of his niece Abbie McKaughan in Waco, Texas.
Research: A "David J." is listed as living with Jacob and Eliza Jane in 1870. This was probably Davis. 
Mendenhall, Joseph DAVIS (I2187)
 
534 Family legend has it that the Hardestys settled the first cabin in Indiana. James is probably the son of James Hardesty (b. 1800). His grandfather was Joshua Hardesty (b. about 1761, in PA, d. after 1850) who was living with his sons in Lees Creek, Wayne Twp., Clinton Co. Ohio in 1850. There may have been more children to James and Cyrena - Rose Hardesty? Many of the Hardesty's are buried in New Vienna, Ohio.

In 1860 the family is near Lees Creek, Clinton Co., Ohio.

Research: Chris Taylor has a death date of 3 July 1857 for James but he appears in the 1860 census:

There is another Hardesty family living next door - James (age 59, VA) with five children born in Ohio under age 20 (one of whom is a James) and a William Hardesty (age 63, MD) According to a FindAGrave memorial for the elder James (age 59) below had two sons named James from two different marriages.

1860, Wayne Twp., Clinton Co., OH
James Hardesty, 59, M, Farmer, VA
Margaret, 19, F, OH
Nancy, 17, F, OH
Joshua, 16, M, OH
Sabre, 13, F, OH

William 63, M, MD

James Hardesty, 30, M, Farm Laborer, OH
Susan, 28, F, OH
Eliza A, 5/12, F, OH

RESEARCH: James may have been living with the Hosea Stout family in Mercer Co., Illinois in 1850. 
Hardesty, Robert JAMES (I1666)
 
535 Family legend has it that the Lemons were of Swedish descent. Alice died of measles and consumption (Tuberculosis) two months after moving to Los Angeles. The family was living in Boyle Heights (off Mission Road) at the time. Alice had a sister who moved in and took care of her children after her death.

Research: Unable to locate her grave in Los Angeles. Family rumor has it that she was buried in Arkansas. Ray Mendenhall says she was buried in East Los Angeles, possibly in Calgary Cemetary. George says she is buried in Evergreen Cemetary in East Los Angeles. Her death certificate lists “Howry & Peck” as the undertakers. That firm disolved in August of 1887, five months after her death. We could find no burial records from that time period for Evergreen Cem., although there was a “potters field” there.

The marriage license lists her as “Miss Eudora Lemon” 
Lemmons, Alice Eudora "Dora" (I1667)
