My Wagner/Laubscher family from Baden migrated from Pennsylvania to Missouri and Wisconsin because of work available in the lead mines.
The Crousore/Kraushaar family was one of farmers primarily in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. Immigrant, Nocholas was also a distiller.
John Simmons, Sr. operated a popular tavern at the corner of Wall and Nassau Streets in New York City before and after the Revolutionary War. Late in life he was a land speculator in upstate New York. John Jr. served as his father's sales agent on the land investment, was an on-again, off-again farmer in NY and the Midwest, and ran a "public house" near Canonsburg, PA. John William was a farmer. James M. was a carpenter and farmer. John T. farmed and worked at a sawmill.
