Ebaugh
Family |
Jeff Werner of Charlottesville, VA, found the web site during early 2004
and we began exchanging information. His great-great grandmother was Mary
Susan Saylor. Mary married Joseph R. Ebaugh and they acquired part of the
Saylor Hill property from Mary’s parents, William L and Katharine
(Phillipi) Saylor. Joseph Ebaugh was the only child of Roman and Mary Ann
(Albright) Ebaugh. Roman died during 1866 and Mary Ann married Joseph
Brown, brother of our Susannah Brown, wife of Peter Saylor.
Jeff sent me a picture of the Saylor Hill
farm taken sometime between 1910 and 1920, before the property was sold
and strip mined. A copy of the photo is attached. Jeff now has the
original, which for many years was a prized possession of Jeff’s
grandparents, Lloyd W and Catherine (Gumbert) Ebaugh.

Saylor
Trait?
|
As I compile more and more data, I often think of the Saylor family
traits. I have names and dates for twelve generations of the family. I
know that our immigrant ancestors were minister/farmers. I know where they
lived and where they are buried; but, not much more. And there is much
more. The twelve generations now number 22,340 parents and children. Wow,
how many stories of joy and sadness are untold?
Could one of those Saylor traits be SILENCE? I know that is hard to
believe as we listen to all the chatter here today. Perhaps each
generation thinks their story is not significant. Can we make it easier
for the next generations

Peter
Saylor
|
Here is an example of an incomplete story
from the sixth generation being pieced together from scraps of
information. Luckily, Barry Cooney is a Civil War enthusiast and helping
to pull the pieces together. We know Peter enlisted in the 16th
PA Cavalry; but, his name is not included on the Somerset monument because
this was not a Somerset Regiment. We know the 16th was at
Gettysburg; but, his name is not included on the Pennsylvania monument
because he was assigned as Provost Guard 2nd A.C. Barry
believes the “2nd A.C.” to be the II Army Corps under the
command of Major General Winfield Scott Handcock. On 3 July 1863, the II
Army Corps was positioned to defend against Pickett’s Charge. Where was
Peter?

Pedigree
Charts |
Attached is a list of the
Descendants of Stewart Cleveland Saylor followed by a lot of names
and dates in Pedigree Chart format. Are there stories here? I see
collectors, politicians, craftsmen, businessmen, executives, professionals
and policemen. And this is just part of the eighth and ninth generations.
Copies of the charts are available upon
request.
