HOLSHISER, HULSHISER, HULSIZER, SCHEETZ, SHITTS, SHITZ, SMITH posted by Daniel Kunkle on Saturday, February 6, 1999: Seeking info on my 3rd gr-grandparents Aaron HULSHISER and his wife, listed as Margaret on the 1860 & 1870 Monroe Co Chestnut Hill Twp PA Census. Their children were Maria, Catharine, Charles, Dianna, Joseph, Sarah, Cornelia (who was my 2nd gr-grandmother and was married to William SMITH),Emma, ?, Alvin and Eve. Cornelia SMITHs PA death cert lists Aaron HULSIZER and Rebecca SCHEETZ as her parents. The 1850 Monroe Co Chestnut Hill Twp PA census also lists John SHITTS (75) and Margaret ?
