Hello Poling Cousin!
I am part of the Sleisher/Slisher/Schleisher clan!My third great grandfather, George Schleisher immigrated to America from Bavaria/Germany c.1839. Among his children are my 2nd great grandfather Peter and my second great grandaunt who married Alexander Poling.At this point I am trying to tie everyone together.It seems that many of the Polings and Slishers went to Michigan (the Michigan and Ohio Slisher's spell their names with no E) thennnnnn William Poling and Caroline Sleisher (yes, Caroline is Mary and Peter's sibling and William is Alexanders brother) Migrated with the Sleisher's to Lyon County, Kansas where the Sleisher's there spell their name with an E.
Let me give you a rundown on my family
George Schleisher married Lovina Phillipina Unknown and migrated c.1839.At the time of their migration they four children: (In order of birth) Jacob, Louisa, Peter and Frederick.After immigration these children were born: John, Caroline, Daniel and Mary.
Peter, my ancestor married Catherine Hunsaker on August 26, 1855 in Logan, Hocking County, Ohio. They had a total of eleven children, with the eldest, Louisa born in Logan.The following children (again in order of birth) were all born in Emporia, Lyon County, Kansas: John, Sarah, James Monroe, George Washington, Mary, Laura (twin), Lawrence (twin), Isaac, Caroline and Peter.
Now to my great grandfather James Monroe Sleisher.He married Sallie Ellen Moyer on December 28, 1887 at St. Marks Lutheran Church, Emporia, Lyon County, Kansas. They had a total of five children, all born in Emporia: Katherine Anna, Allen Thurman, Emma Ione (my grandmother) Nellie Marie and Sallie Inez.
Laura Sleisher, my great grandaunt, sent off an autograph book to our Ohio relatives in 1885.I'm trying to fit some of the surnames in.Here is a list of them:
Motherwell
Younker
Berry/Bieri
Ruff
Sleisher
Slisher
Hunsaker
Derstine
Poling
Do you know any of the kinship.I'm having a tough time with them, even with the Slishers.All of these autographs are signed as 'cousin'.
Thanks,
Cathie
