Re: John Aleshire 1904 Missouri

Research seems to indicate the immigrant ancestor of the Aleshire family was Conrad Elscheit of Niederhonnefeld, Prussia, who m. Maria Catharina Goessel in Rensdorf, Prussia on 29 Sep 1747.This is probably the same person who arrived in Philadelphia from Rotterdam on 21 Aug 1750 and the Conrod Aleshite, whose administration bond is found in Dunmore Co., VA dated 27 Aug 1776.The name evolved into "Aleshire" (and variant spellings).I have more info. if you care to contact me.
