Samantha PETTY born 1848- died Oct. 14, 1918. She was married to Louis KIESSHAUR and had at least three children; 1-d- Louis, 2-d- Herman, and 3-d- Mary. Louis KIESSHAUR died in 1900. Herman was killed in a mine explosion in Texas and Mary married Alfred KENNEDY and had seven children: Althea, Claud, Raymond, Roy, Lillie, Evelyn and Minnie. After Louis KIESSHAUR Sr. died Samantha married Richard DILLEHAY. They had no children. I wish I had more about his family- my account of them is so sketchy.
