additional information:
Susan Burger is the d/o Samuel Burger & Susannah Whetstone and granddaughter of Abraham Burger & Elizabeth Whetstone. She was born in 1827, Bedford Co., PA.Abraham and Samuel lived in Woodbury Co. near
Salemville.
Salemville.
John and Susan had a son named John b. April 2, 1846, in "Osterville", PA.(There is no record of him born in Osterburg, so he was probably born in Salemville.)
John and Susan had a son named John b. April 2, 1846, in "Osterville", PA.(There is no record of him born in Osterburg, so he was probably born in Salemville.)According to a letter, when John (Jr) was a year old "they" moved to IL. I'm not sure if "they" meant Susan and her son -or- all three of them. Someone graciously checked the IL cemetery records near where Susan lived. There was no John Oster. So, I've been assuming that he died in Bedford Co., before Susan and John (Jr) moved to IL.(Abandonment is another possibility.)Before the 1850 IA census Susan remarried.Her second husband was John Faulkner. They had a daughter - Mary Elizabeth.He died
about four years later.Prior to 1880, Susan remarried and outlived her third husband Nahum Nason.Susan is buried in Russell, KS.
