Query: I am researching the family of Jeremiah
Hollinger of Blair
Co, Pa. He was the son of
Samuel Hollinger who apparently resided in Miami co, KS along with
his wife Nancy (Baker)
and several children. Apparently, he had a family
in Kansas, and
then at least some family
members returned to PA, because my his son,
Jeremiah, was the
mother of my GG
grandmother, Susan Hollinger, who lived in PA. I
would appreciate
any information on the
Hollingers who lived in Kansas and what their
migration story was.
Jeremiah's brothers and
sisters who were born in KS that I know of were:
Jacob, Simon (who
married Elizabeth
Smith), Lewis (who married Stuffy Carper), and
Louisa (who married
John Hoffman).
There are references to several Hollingers in
Vol 2 of the cemetery
index (Delilah, Elizabeth,
Jake, Lemuel, Nancy, Samuel, and Simon). The
Hollinger family is
also mentioned in the
history of pioneer families of pages 202 and 203.
I would really appreciate the information that
is available on this
family in Kansas. At this
point, it is a real stumper to me why they would
have gone from PA
to KS and then (at least
some members of the family) come back to PA.

Response: The references on pp 202 and 203 of
Family Histories and
Stories of Miami Co.
do discuss Samuel and Nancy Hollinger, their son
Simon Hollinger
and his wife Elizabeth
Smith, their grandson Lemuel Hollinger and his wife
Delia May Day,
their grandson Boyd
Cecil Hollinger and his wife Esther May Renner, and
their children.
The actual text runs about
a column and a half, and includes two photographs -
Boyd and
Esther, Lemuel and Delia. The
text is interesting but doesn't do much to clarify
why they moved
to KS. Apparently the family
came to KS in 1877 in a group of four families, 16
individuals,
traveling by train. They spent
their first night in KS at the farm home of D. H.
Longenecker who
had come from PA. They
paid 1000 dollars for 80 acres.
Other incidental references to this surname are
found on pp 146,
313, 345 of Family Histories
and Stories. In Vol II, Cemeteries of Miami Co, KS,
p 127, Pleasant
Valley Cemetery, Row
3 Lot 38 - Hollinger, Deliah 1879-1962; Hollinger,
Lemuel
1874-1967; p. 157, Scott Valley
Cemetery, Row 8, Lot 9S - Hollinger, Simon d 23 Mar
1896 age 52y
7d; Hollinger,
Elizabeth 11 Oct 1852 - 19 Jan 1940; Hollinger,
Jake 1893-1968; Lot
24S - Hollinger,
Samuel 24 Mar 1814 - 8 Aug 1898 age 84y 4m 14d;
Hollinger, Nancy
1819-1909. There
are four pages referenced for Hollinger in Vol.
III.
