LATTA/ ROSS I am looking for the parents of Jane LATTA, b. 1712, probably in Northern Ireland who married Robert ROSS (1709-1787). They spent some time in Colerain Twp., Lancaster County, PA before arriving in Fayette County, PA. She died there in 1784. Their children were Margaret, Henry, James, Joseph. Joan Peake, 5507 S. Briar Ridge Cir., McKinney TX 75070, jlpeake@hotmail.com
LATTA/ HOCKENBURY Does anyone have brothers, Abraham and John LATTA, possibly the son of another John, in their data base? The brother John was born in PA in 1784, moved to WV for a short time, then bought property and died in Monroe County, OH in 1866. Abraham was dead by 1865 when John wrote his will that included Abraham's children Harriett and Allice. I have no information on Anna HOCKENBURY LATTA other than she was married to John LATTA who was born in PA in 1793. She died in Monroe County, OH in 1866, a month after her husband. Any help certainly would be appreciated. Betty Latta Kitchen kitchen2@adelphia.net
LATTA/ LATTY Does anyone have information on the family of John LATTA of Georgia who is listed in the 1850 Census. He is 26 years old, female is Francis of 22 years old...they have a son John, age 4, and a son Thomas, age 3...son William 4 months old. Also, on the same census, living down the street is a Fleming LATTY, age 21, female is Senna, age 26, Jennifer, age 5 and John, age 2.  I don't think the child age 5 (well could be) is his as he would have only been 16.

LATTA/ MERCER/ HOCKENBURY We an article that says, "Jeremiah [MERCER], the eldest child of Willilam and Margaret, married Alcinda LATTA (1821-1893), a quiet and soft spoken Quaker from the mountains of Pennsylvania in 1837." We think that Alcinda's parents (John LATTA and Anna HOCKENBURY) originated in Huntingdon Co., PA. John in ca 1787 and Anna in 1793. Both died in Monroe County, OH. Does anyone out there have anything they can share about this family? Betty Latta Kitchen, 3505 E. Aurora Rd., Twinsburg, OH 44087, kitchen2@adelphia.net

LATTA/ LATTA'S MILLS I am researching my mother-in-laws family and one side begins with a John LATTA who immigrated to PA of Quaker faith. Family history states his family were Protestants in Scotland and James I moved them along with other families to Ireland where the Protestants and Catholics were always battling. Finally they traveled to England and were basically a family without a country. In the 17th century, when Penn was organizing an expedition to America, the LATTAs joined and ended in PA. Here the story becomes a little muddled. One states they were British sympathizers and deported to Canada. The other states they would not live under the American flag and so went to Canada. They were there 100 years, then moved to Missouri from Belleville, Ontario, Canada. My mother-in-law has traveled to where they came from and there is a small town there called Latta's Village and they had a mill, aptly named, Latta's Mill. We can pick the story up from there. Does anyone know which John LATTA I am speaking of? Linda L. Brown, 505 W. Phipps, LaPlata MO 63549, calebsmimi@hotmail.com

LATTA/ BURRIS Just looking at a picture from the Calais Cemetery in Monroe County, Ohio, and saw a tombstone for Burris. I am looking for the parents of Mary BURRIS. This Mary Adelia BURRIS born 1873, died 1950, and was mrried to Thomas Leroy LATTA on October 4, 1894. She taught school at Calais, Miltonsburg and Fox Hollow. Their only child died in infancy. I have come of the class folders with her picture on them. Surely someone knows her family. PS. Several of you did express interest in the School Picture of the kids at Fox Hollow about 1894. (She is not in this one, but her future husband was the teacher.) If anyone else would like this picture attached to them, please let me know. Betty Lattea Kitchen, kitchen2@adelphia.net
LATTA/ HOCKINBERRY/ COPELAND John Latta was born about 1784 in the Huntingdon Co., PA area. His wife was Annie HOCKINBERRY/HOCKENBURY. One of their sons was John Copeland LATTA. The name COPELAND to me sounds so much like a surname, I am wondering if the first John I mentioned had a mother with the COPELAND surname. Do any of you COPELAND researchers have a girl born mid 1700s that married a John LATTA? Any help would really be appreciated. Betty Latta Kitchen, kitchen2@adelphia.net
