My favorite photo of my Great Grandmother, Rachel Meyers b. 12/12/1838,
and
married to Nathan "John" Marker, b. 9/25/1829 in Somerset Co.
We have no photos
of John, but his Civil War Pension file described him as blue eyes,
and dark hair. Rachel looks
very strong here, and I try to get a visual image of her each time
I'm feeling wimpy. :)
John & Rachel's sons. Ira and David moved west, to Nortonville,
ND, c. 1800,
and Dan, my Great Greatgrandfather, stayed on the family farm in
PA.

Mary Marker (on Dan's lap), Laura's nephew, Frank "Skinny" (Sanner) Marker

Marker (Laura's daughter), and their son Charles (my Grandfather)
John's younger brother, Jake Marker, b. 6/20/1845, and his family.
