Catherine Kemberling, born probably in Frankstown Township, say 1828 (a minor under the age of 14 in 1839, but had turned 14 by 1843),[1][2] died, perhaps Leavenworth County, Kansas (enumderated there in 1880), 1886;[3] married by about 1851 (birth of child), Oliver Hart,[4][5] the son of Ezra Ellis Hart and his second wife, Mary (Westover) Hart.

Catherine's older half-sister, Hettie married Oliver's half-brother Ezra Ellis ("Ellis") Hart, Jr., and Catherine was enumerated with that family at 1850 at Allegheny Township, Blair County.

Chad has Thomas Bancroft obituary. Cites The Altoona [Pennsylvania] Tribune, [Thursday] July 7, 1881, page 4; digital images, Newspapers.com.

Death of a Prominent Citizen.
Mr. Thomas Bancroft died at Bancroft's mill, near Newry, at 12 o'clock on Thursday, and was buried at the Lutheran graveyard in Newry at Saturday.
Mr. Bancroft was the owner of the mill and farm on which he lived for about seventeen years, and was greatly respected for his many Christian virtues. He was born in England sixty-tree years ago, and spent his youthful days on the ocean as a sailor before the mast. Leaving the ocean, he came to Frankstown township, where he settled down and married a Miss Kemberling, who, with six children, morns the loss of a good, kind and indulgent husband and father. The new Lutheran church at Newry was mainly build through his liberal donation and influence. He will be greatly missed in the community.
