Another in the year-long challenge, #52Ancestors by genealogist Amy Johnson Crow. I am a little behind, but every post is another post! This week I am writing about Jane Rebecca McCABE, my 2nd great-grandmother on my mother's KUHN line, 3rd great-grandmother to my children, 4th to my grandchildren.
Jane, born Oct 25, 1803 in Morgantown, Pennsylvania, was the youngest of the three children of Edward McCABE from County Monaghan & Rebecca HUDSON.
Jane married Joseph Jacobus KUHN (1803-1878) on Nov 5, 1826 in the Conewago Chapel, Conewago, Adams, Pennsylvania. The service was presided over by the Reverend DeBarth. There is a lovely image of the KUHN obelisk in the Conewago Chapel cemetery, listing many of the Kuhn ancestors, siblings, their marriages, etc.

1. Edward John, b. 23 Sep 1827, d. 25 Feb 1906 Hanover PA; m. abt 1856

9. Dr. George Richard Montgomery, b. 2 Sep 1847, d. 5 Nov 1915

Unfortunately there is nothing further I have found about Jane Rebecca, aside from her having borne 9 children in 20 years. I have newspapers to search soon, hoping for any obituary write up on her. Her husband, Joseph J KUHN, died 18 Sep 1878, aged 74, in McSherrytown, Adams, PA. Five years later, she died 15 June 1883 in Brooklyn NY, aged 79 years.
She is listed on the very large KUHN obelisk with her husband, showing her maiden name - a treasure when I found this image.
If these are your ancestors, I am happy to share what little I have on these ancestors. And if there are errors, please do let me know, via calewis at telus dot net, or in the Comments below and I will get back to you either by email or in the Comments. I appreciate the opportunity to correct any issues in these family trees.
