$100 REWARD for finding the burial pllace of Rosa Ann "GENROSE" SCHADT nee DURR. William SCHADT, b. 06 June 1866, Germany, came to America in 1850/52 and was 1st in New York City; 2nd Middletown, Pa.; 3rd in Lock Haven, Pa. He married Rosa Ann DURR, b. abt. 185, on 17 June 1850-56. Where they were married is not known, nor has any DURR lineage connection been found. I have been to Germany, met cousins and visited the Lutheran church where William was baptized; however, there are no records of the marriage and no Durr families in the area. William died in Lock Hasven, Pa., 17 April, 1914 and is buried at that place. Rosa Anna died from lockjaw, 4 April 1870 at the same place. There is an account of her death in the local newspaper, but no record of her funeral or the place of interment. William may have taken her body to the New York City area, Middletown, Pa. or Lebanon, Pa. for interment. I am offering a $100 reward to the first person who can find the burial place of Rosa Ann. Any other Schadt or Durr information would be appreciated.

I am attempting to verify whether a GORBY was a member of the infamous "Paxton Boys" who massacred the last of the Susquehannock Indians in December 1763. According to a handwritten manuscript found in a shoebox kept by a now deceased great aunt: "A group of trappers killed some indians and Gov. John Penn tried to punish them by taking away the family lands. These were known as the Paxton boys and names found were GORBY, GREEN / CRAWFORD as well as several others. This caused a revolt and many people left the settlement." I have been told that there are a number of lists around (old histories of Dauphin and Lancaster County) of people who were members of this group but have been unable to locate any to date.
