David M. Vantine is buried in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, West Leechburg, PA. His grave has a military marker "GAR 1861-1865." His son James and James' wife Ada are buried nearby. I have visited the cemetery, because James and Ada were my great grandparents.

Carol,
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. Here is some
information that I have and I have included a copy of my mother's obituary to help with all her siblings.
Marilyn Jeanne (Van Tine) Brezinski, 56, of Freeport, passed away Tuesday, June 6, 2006, while in the company of family members at Family Hospice & Palliative Care, West View. Mrs. Brezinski was born in Tarentum, on April 13, 1950, the daughter of the late Charles and Margaret (Kerr) Van Tine. She was a 1968 graduate of Freeport High School, and worked as a visiting aid at Concordia Visiting Nurses, Cabot. She enjoyed camping, drawing, painting and sewing. She is survived by her husband of 33 years, Charles M. Brezinski; three children, Sharon Lynn, Heather Marie, and Douglas Michael Brezinski, all of Freeport; two sisters, Maxine (Rudy) Canonaco, of Cheswick, and Deb
(Steve) Horvath, of Porter, Ind.; five brothers, Ron (Edna) Van Tine, of Buffalo Township, Chuck Van Tine, of South Buffalo Township, Rich (Sandy) Van Tine, of Buffalo Township, Larry Van Tine, of Levittown, and David (Kathy) Van Tine, of Winfield Township. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews. Family and friends are being received from noon to 2 and 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday in the REDMOND FUNERAL HOME INC., 524 High St., Freeport. Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Monday in the Evangel Heights Assembly of God Church, Buffalo Township, with the Rev. Gary Bracewell, executive pastor, officiating. Burial will be in the Mt. Airy Cemetery, Natrona Heights. Donations may be made to the Family
Hospice Manor, 301 Belleview Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15229.
I think the years of marrage are wrong. Ron and Edna have four or five children and several grand and great grand children, Chuck Vantine has five and several grandchildren, his wife passed away several years ago her name was Betty, Rich & Sandy have two daughter and a granddaughter, Larry Vantine has a son and daughter, David & Kathy have a daughter who
is married and they have a daughter, They also have a son who is not married. Maxine and Rudy have three, two sons on married with two children and a daughter married with two children, Deb & Steve have three children non married. If you need anything else please let me know.
I also know that my Charles and Margaret had at least one child that died shortly after birth. I cannot remeber his name.

Dear Carol Yocom,
Your webpage is incredible. Your generosity is overwhelming to share your family info and sources.
I am researching the life of a relative of mine who was captured in 1790 Kentucky, and held by the Potawatomi of St. Joseph, being released after the Treaty of Greenville in 1795 and she returned to her family in Kentucky. Her birth name was Sara Cozine, a little Dutch girl, age 9 when captured at Ketcham's Fort then in Jefferson Co, Kentucky. According to Draper's Papers Sarah is listed under the name Sara Parsains, age about 14, when released by the Potawatomi of St Joseph on 14 Sept 1795--perhaps she had forgotten her birth name.
One of your ancestors (he is listed on your webpage anyway) was also held captive by this same tribe.
Peter SMOCK bp: 27 Jan 1781died ca 1848 IN.
Peter and his brother John SMOCK were taken captive by Potawatomi on Brashears Creek in Kentucky in March 1794, and their brother Matthew was killed.
Peter SMOCK, age 14, captured March 1794, KY, was released on 10 June 1995, by Potawatomi of St. Joseph
Sara was not released until three months later.
Most of these released captives gave interviews and newspaper stories were written abut them. Apparently my Sara did not. Could you share a contact who might have information about any write ups on Peter or John SMOCK?

(sent to me by Margaret Flint in a letter 3 Dec 1982)
Indiana State Library "Pioneers of Jefferson Co., Indiana"
Madison Courier, 26 Jun 1874
Reminisences of John Smock of Hanover twp.--dedicated to S. T. Smock.
"During the War, General Washington sent him (the writer's ancestor-Jacob) with a company to drive the horses into the wilderness to prevent them from falling into the hands of the British. That company was called "The Cane Boys."
From New York, to Pa., to Va., then to Mercer co. Ky., settling on a creek called "Buckskin", west of Shelbyville (the Smock family) -- here they were annoyed by the Indians. I had an uncle (Matthew Smock) killed, and two uncles taken prisoners, Peter & John Smock. Father was wounded in the arm at the same time. I had a cousin tomahawked and scalped and left for dead, but he survived, got well and lived for years, his name os Issac Robins, Jefferson co. Indiana.
The same bank of Indians who scalped young Robins took my uncles prisoners, and then left for the Indian Country, across the Ohio. The alarm guns were fired, the neighbors soon collected and followed the Indians trail to the river, but the Indians had gotten across and the men had to return without rescuing the prisoners or getting a shot at the redskins. The Indians crossed just below the mouth of Clifton Creek, came up the river and camped where the Courthouse now stands. They remained three days singing and dancing and then started for their town on "Flat Rock", going up Crooked Creek to the Highlands.
Peter fared pretty well. Old Winnemac adopted him into his family, in place of a son he had lost. John fared worse, often roasted wild turkey guts or eating them raw, was his food.
Winnemacs old Squaw, with some young ones took Peter into the river to wash the "White-Blood" out of him. to make an Indian out of him. He got one of them down in the waterand was about to drown her, but the others rescued her. It pleased old Winnemac very much to see Peter out-do the squaws. The old woman would take him to hoe corn; he would't hoe worth a cent. She then made him take the papoose to take care of; he would pinch it to make it cry. It plased old Winnemac; he said Peter was no he-squaw, that he would make a good brave warrior.
They were with the Indians 18 months to 2 years. General Wayne had a Treaty with the Indians at Greenville; Grandfather took a keg of rum and went to the Treaty. He got a French-Canadian, an Indian trader, to buy the boys.
They both lived to raise families. Peter was a very strong and stout man weighing over 200 pounds; John not so large. Both lived in Marion co.
Peter kew of one or two silver mines, but he could not tell where they were. He also knew about salt, from what he told me, I think the salt water was probably in Jackson or Lawrence co., he said it was a salt spring which boilded up and ran about 20 feet, and sank again. They carried the water as much as a mile to boil it not cutting a stick, or timber, near by the sping. Before they left the country, they covered the spring carefully, to the "whites" could not find it.
Before the battle Tippecanoe there was a half-blood Indian by the name of Elliot on his way to join General Harrison, they stayed all night with Uncle Peter. He said if he lived to get back, he would take him (Uncle Peter), to the salt spring and silver mine. He never returned. I was born in Shelby co Ky., on a small stream called Fox Run, the tributary of Bull-skin, in 1800.
