Descendants of JOHN TRANSUE and CATHERINE WHITAKER, PA to KANSAS
I'd love to hear from any descendants of John Shults Transue, son of Isaac Transue (Transu)and Hannah Brotzman or Protzman.Isaac and Hannah lived in what was Northampton County, and is now Monroe County.They had several children, including John, Isaac and Joseph, and other children too.John S. Transue married Catherine Whitaker in 1850.John served with two brothers during our Civil War.They were first sergeants in Company A of the 56th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry.John was wounded twice, once at the Battle of South Mountain, Maryland, and again on the first of July at the Battle of Gettysburg.John survived the war, and sometime between 1874 and 1878, he and Catherine along with several of their seven children, moved west to Osborne, Kansas.I believe they lived for a time at Luray, Kansas.Please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]
