Notes:

given that the marriage of Mary A. Henderson says mother was named "Mary",
I wonder if this is the right mother's name.

Note - Mary listed her mother as Mary and it wasn't until a letter came back
from a church in Philadelphia thatthe mother of "Anna" Henderson was
listed as Susan (McDevitt).

Still, I'm starting to rethink this. It would seem that Anna had talked with
her brothers on several occasions, who would have been old enough
to remember what her parent's name was. I doubt she would have kept
refering to John and Susan if she found out later these weren't her parents.
It would just seem that up until her 20's, she (and her sister) didn't
know anything about her parents with anycertainty (except perhaps
that her father was John Henderson).

A picture of Anna and Mary says "taken 3/30/08" and has
Susie Henderson
Nan "

But the picture shows Anna (Nanna) and Mary. Why did it say Susie?
A reference or mistaken reference to the mother? Part of the border
was cut off that might have had more text to the left of the names.

IGI has this record which seems to be a baptism date?

********************************************************************** Dad's notes, 7/24/79
(copied from Robert E Conrad's notes after talking with his dad, R E Conrad Sr)

1. Previously, Dad related to me the following:
a) Mom, Aunt Mary Kerstetter and Uncles John and James (Hendersons) were
being reared in a Catholic Orphan's Home in Philadelphia

b) John Henderson married a Polish girl in Delaware (Dover?)

c) Then Mom and AUnt Mary were transferred to an O'Shaughnessy (?)
family in Lewisburg. This family was quite old when Mom and Aunt Mary
went there to live. The husband shot to death either his wife or himself.

d) Then Mom was transferred to a Kelly family (about 1915) in Milton,
Pa, until about 16 yrs old. At the same time, AuntMary went to an O'Neill
family in Coatsville (and later to Sunbury).

e) Then Mom ended up working in a silk mill in Sunbury and lived with the
Riegle family on Catawissa Ave across from the East End Hose Company.
That's when Dad met, courted Mom and married her!

f) Aunt Mary, while in Sunbury stayed at the Zerbe Hotel (the Shreffler Pontiac
place now on Market Street near Eighth St).

At the same time, Tom Kerstetter was a bartender there. They married.

g) Uncle Tom and Aunt Mary then went to Berrysburg to open up a Hotel there.
Tom Jr was born there. Tom Sr borrowed $1000 from a whiskey salesman
to take over the hotel.

h) Then Uncle Tom and Aunt Mary went to Gratz to open a hotel there (which
later burned down). then to Elizabethville, then to hotel in Dillsburg,
and finally to Camp Hill (they had a used car garage on Market St.
not far from the Rt 15 bypass traffic intersection).

i) My grandfather SimonPeter Conrad was placed on a Scanlon farm about
1870 or 1871 and used to workhis ass off there. Durin ghte flood of 1889,
he worked on a RR bridge at Mexico, Pa.
