Hi Chery
I have very little on Lydia and her family, so at this time I can't help you much with her.I can, however, offer info on her paternal line.
Here are the basics regarding Lydia's UTZ ancestors:
George UTZ (abt. 1683 - abt. 1766)
Note: I have seen conflicting theories regarding George Utz and whether he was Jacob's father or brother
Jacob, son of George
(abt 1706 - ???, m. Maria Catherine HALLER)
Peter, son of Jacob and Maria
(1740 – 1820, m. Elizabeth BOHREN/BORNIN/BORN and Margareth Magdalena SHOLL/SCHOLL)
J. Adam, son of Peter and Elizabeth
(1761 - 1844, m. Catharine "Katy" LONG)
Jacob, son of Adam and Katy
(1803* – 1865, m. Susanna SHOLL/SCHOLL)
*Please note the change in Jacob's birth year from my previous post -- he was born Oct 6, 1803 and christened Feb 26 1804.
I will email you, in more detail, what I have so far on the Utz line.Sources include various church records, tombstone inscriptions, York Gazette, census findings, lineages donated to York Heritage Trust, obituaries, etc.I've not done much work on this particular branch of my family tree since spring/summer of 2002 -- hopefully everything I give you won't be a duplicate of what I sent you last time.
In addition to some ancestral info on Jacob (Lydia's father), I will also send transcribed obituaries for Lydia, two of her siblings, and two sisters-in-law.
Some additional info which may help you in your search:
***Jacob and Susanna (as well as many of their descendants) are buried at St. Bartholomew's Cemetery in West Manheim Township, York County, PA.
***Many of Lydia's ancestors' church records can be found in "First record book for the Reformed and Lutheran congregations at Manchester, Baltimore County (now Carroll County), Maryland" (FHL Film #0013200, item 3)
***Lydia Utz and Abdil Fuhrman were married in 1868 at St. Matthews Lutheran Church in Hanover, York County, PA.Her sister, Mary, was also married in that church in 1871.
I will email you in the next day or so.Hope this is helpful.
