Early Bixlers of Erie County, Pennsylvania - Jacob & Andrew
Posted by: Timothy Simpson (ID *****2817) Date: June 18, 2009 at 09:09:44
  of 1142

Has anyone studied the early census Bixlers for Erie Co PA? I have a couple of questions:
1) Is the Jacob Bixler of 1830 Mill Creek and 1840 Fairview a match for the 1850 Jacob Bixler of Fairview?
2) Who is the Andrew Bixler of 1840 Mill Creek, how old is he, and where did he go?

Here are my notes for anyone who might be working on these lines:
