Hi Gary,

I was reading your material online and noticed a few mistakes that I know about and wanted to correct them for you. In the section where J. Adam Lichty is married to Catharine Kroninger (they are my great-grandparents) you have some of children's name incorrect. My grandmothe Susan was married to John Petty not Patay. The Asa of Bowmanstown is supposed to be Ira. Following is the list of all 14 of the children in order of birth.

Alice K. married to William H. Fatzinger; Susan K. married to John Petty; Thomas K. married to Datie Warmkessel; Amon K. married to Mrs. Alvin W. Rohrbach; Elilzabeth K. who died as a small child; Robert K. married to Kate M. Ackley; Carmi K. married to Jeanette Smith; John Adam K. married to Estella Mae Hartman; Reuben K. died as a young child; Catharine K. also died as a child; Ira K. married to Ida Matilda Blose; Amy K. married to Harleigh W. Diehl; Dorothea K. died as a child; and Mark K. married Myrtle Truchses.

I just recently was in PA working on my genealogy and visited all the cemeteries where all the above are buried and took pictures. If you would like any info as to where they are all buried I'll be happy to share it.

I have spoken with Carmi's granddaughter-in-law recently. She was married to Randall. He died about a year ago and is buried in Calif. Since your info was on Carmi I assume you are kin to him. I would also assume his son Luther is in a assistant living facility in PA.

I found it interesting to learn that Daniel and Judith Wisser used to farm where the Highland Cemetery is now located. Of course, you already know several of our kin are buried there.

Would love to hear from you.
