So I have to wonder whether Jonathan Easlick had much input on choosing the date of his wedding. Did he want to get married on his sister's birthday, was the date important to his bride, or was it chosen for some other reason?
Births
Joseph Gorgas, son of Jacob Gorgas and Christina Mack, was born April 7, 1770 in Ephrata, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He is my 2nd cousin 6x removed via the Macks.
Charles Gleim was born April 7, 1775 in Germantown, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. He was married to Maria Elizabeth Gorgas, daughter of Jacob and Christina Mack and the sister of the above-mentioned Joseph Gorgas, who is also my 2nd cousin 6x removed.
Anna Gaunt, daughter of Jacob Gaunt and Hannah Holmes, was born April 7, 1808 in Ohio, She is my 1st cousin 5x removed.
Clara Alice Easlick, daughter of Allen Severs Easlick and Mary E. Shemeley, was born April 7, 1903 in New Jersey, probably in Burlington County. She is my 3rd cousin once removed on my Gauntt line through the Easlicks.
Anna Marie Stayton was born April 7, 1917 in Palmyra, Burlington County, New Jersey. She was married to Thomas Franklin Gauntt, son of Thomas Kirkland Gauntt and Jane Dunstan, who is my paternal granduncle.
Peter E. Persoff, son of Jacob Persoff and Frieda Schneiderman, was born April 7, 1946 in Manhattan, New York County, New York. He is my 2nd cousin 2x removed via the Schneidermans.
Thomas Andrew Gauntt was born April 7, 1960 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. He is my 2nd cousin.
Joseph Belanger was born April 7, 1986 in Ashland, Ashland County, Wisconsin. He is my 7th cousin once removed on my Sellers line.
Daniel John Yurkovic was born April 7, 1994 in Virginia. He is my 3rd cousin once removed on my Gordon line.
Marriages
Joseph Thackeray, son of James Thackeray and Jane Gaunt, and Mary Dubois were married on April 7, 1825 in New Jersey. Joseph is my 2nd cousin 5x removed via the Gaunts.
Jonathan Benjamin Easlick, son of Allen Severs Easlick and Mary E. Shemeley, and Laura May Robinson were married on April 7, 1920, on Jonathan's sister's birthday (above). Jonathan is also my 3rd cousin once removed.
Deaths
Peter Sellers (not the famous one), son of Samuel Sellers and Catherine Bodder, died April 7, 1820 at the age of 32, probably in Pennsylvania. He is my 1st cousin 5x removed.
Jacob F. Longanecker, son of Joseph Longanecker and Sarah Mack, died April 7, 1889 at the age of 70, probably in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. He is my 3rd cousin 4x removed.
Genealogy is like a jigsaw puzzle, but you don't have the box top, so you don't know what the picture is supposed to look like. As you start putting the puzzle together, you realize some pieces are missing, and eventually you figure out that some of the pieces you started with don't actually belong to this puzzle. I'll help you discover the right pieces for your puzzle and assemble them into a picture of your family.
