HEARST by Richard Draves Feb 03 1991 ------------------------------- I'm seeking birth, marriage and parentage info on Isabella HEARST, who married Robert FOSTER (of Buffalo Twp now in Union Co, Penna) presumably at Harrisburg Pennsylvania in 1817. They lived first in Limestone Twp now in Montour Co Penna, moved in 1830 to Clear Creek Twp now in Ashland Co Ohio, then in 1839 to Elkhart Co Indiana where she died 1852. They had nine children: Andrew F, James Hearst F, John F, Mary Campbell F Fry, Margaret Young F Bodine, Eleanor Graham F, Robert F, Jane Elizabeth F Markham and William Thomas F. All the children (except Andrew & William) removed to Albany, Linn Co, Oregon. Her father was named John or James HEARST and he may have been related to the Robert HEARST who took a land warrant & patent on 100+ acres in Cumberland Co Penna in 1762 in what is now Perry Co Penna. Her mother's maiden name was either Chambers or Campbell. They were all Scotch-Irish Presbyterians. Richard P Draves, 135 Old Suffolk Dr, Monroeville PA 15146
