Nancy/Jack/Rose Harrington >PA 1840-80s
Hi, my great-great-grandmother was Nancy Jane Harrington, who was orphaned at an early age. Her siblings were Jack and
Rose. She was born in 1845 in Pennsylvania but orphaned by 1850, I believe. In 1865, she married George W. Shobert (born
May 31 or June 1, 1842, Jersey Shore, Lycoming Co. PA)who died in 1887. I think she outlived him by a number of years.
One son was Elmer Llewellyn Shobert, my great-grandfather (and yes, that is one tough name to live with).
So...any record of Nancy Jane Harrington Shobert in Pennsylvania? I believe she may have been born in Lycoming County.
This has been a blank spot in my family tree all my life and I would greatly appreciate any help in filling in the blanks. Would
also love to know if she was Irish or Welsh; her name, my g-grandfather's middle name and siblings' names make me wonder.
