Hi Lana,
She was born Feb 28, 1800 so her reputed age of 86 at death in 1886 matches up nicely. Her father was Jean Veinot - "John Veinot" if you prefer English. The mother I don't know. Her name was Judith "Marguerit" or some variant of Margaret. I don't know her surname. - Scott --- On Thu, 8/19/10, Lana Veinotte <la...@eastlink.ca> wrote: From: Lana Veinotte <la...@eastlink.ca> Subject: Re: [LL] Obit: Mrs. Elkanah Lohnes, d. 1949 To: "Scott W.

Would anyone have parents for Mary Elizabeth? Lana ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott W. TEAL" <swth...@yahoo.ca> To: "Lunen Links" <lunen-li...@rootsweb.com>; "C.

Does anyone know which Georg Lohnes he was? Candidate #1 Georg Lohnes born 1781 of Johann Christoph & Maria Elisabeth Rost. Candidate #2 Johann Georg Lohnes born 1797 of Heinrich & Charlotte Mossman. The latter seems most likely due to age. 22 vs. 39 when marrying. The former better fits with what actually happened since it was mainly Christoph's line that wound up in New Germany. Jacob Lohnes of Christoph settled at New Germany and it would make sense that Georg his brother went there as well. Online trees have either one or the other. I've never been able to prove which Georg Lohnes was the man who married Marie Elisabeth Veinot. Does anyone know who Maria Elisabeth Feindel's parents were? Comments? - Scott --- On Wed, 8/18/10, C.

WOMAN DIES AT THE AGE OF 109 WOLLASTON, Mass., April 3 - Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lohnes died last night at the age of 109. She was born in New Germany, Nova Scotia, of old Plymouth Pilgrim stock. She was married to Elkanah Lohnes at 17 in 1857 and lived in Nova Scotia until his death in 1904. Her health was good until four years ago when she suffered a shock. She had said she lived a long life because: "I've always worked hard and I don't smoke, drink, or go to dances." Only two of her eight children are still living. She also leaves 17 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren. NB: I have her maiden name as Feindel. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to lunen-links-requ...@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to lunen-links-requ...@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ___________________________________________ nsroots mailing list nsroots@ednet.ns.ca http://mailman.ednet.ns.ca/cgi-bin/listinfo/nsroots
