I am looking for descendants of Peter and Elizabeth FAIRCHILD KURTZ. They would be my 3rd great grandparents. My line of descendancy follows:
Peter KURTZ b.abt.1812,PA; d.1868 Des Moines, Co.,IA; m.abt.1837 Wilkes-Barre,PA to Elizabeth FAIRCHILD b.1819 Luzerne Co., PA; d.1873 Des Moines Co., IA; both buried Hawkeye Cemetery, Des Moines Co., IA (about 6 miles south of Oakville, Louisa Co., IA).
They had 14 children and I come down through Elizabeth Ann KURTZ b.1840 Oakville, Louisa Co., IA;d,1926/27 in Salina, KS; m. 1857 in Oakville to George Washington MOYERS b.1832 Carrollton, IL; d.Salina, KS. She is buried in Hawkeye Cem (info above para)with her parents and her brother, John P. KURTZ b.1850;d.1887. I HAVE A VERY GOOD PICTURE OF THE GRAVE STONE OF PETER KURTZ, ELIZABETH FAIRCHILDS KURTZ, JOHN P. KURTZ, AND MRS. E.A. MOYERS (ELIZABETH ANN KURTZ MOYERS). They are all on the same stone. I was born/raised near Hawkeye Cemetery in S.E. IA, and I took this 3 years ago. I would be very happy to scan thru e-mail if any cousin wants one. One family website has Geo. W. MOYERS buried in Hawkeye Cemetery, Salina, KS, but I tend to think he is probably buried in this S.E Iowa Hawkeye Cemetery, where his wife is buried, as well as his dau. Eliza MOYERS SHERIDAN is buried. Sorry---the day I took the picture I neglected to check to see if Geo. is there.
George W. and Elizabeth Ann KURTZ MOYERS had several children, and their daughter, Eliza MOYERS(1869-1899)m.David Willson SHERIDAN in 1887 and lived on SHERIDAN Family Farm in Huron Twp., Des Moines Co.(Huron Twp.), IA (about 5 miles south of Oakville, IA. They were my great grandparents.
Geo. and Elizabeth MOYERS also had Ellen Elizabeth(Nell)MOYERS b.1871;d.1947; m. William T. WATERHOUSE b.1869 Oakville, IA; d.1966; they lived in Burlington, Des Moines, Co., IA. They are buried in Edwards Cemetery just south of Oakville,IA. They were my great aunt/uncle on my WATERHOUSE side.
David W. and Eliza MOYERS SHERIDAN had 3 children.
Their son, Claude Wilson SHERIDAN was my grandfather and married my grandmother, Edna Maud BROCKWAY.I would love to hear from any cousins and have lots of info to share.
