Typescript genealogy. The (Susanna) Elizabeth Ginther lineage was omitted from "Peter Ginther''s Family" by the same author. She is sixth daughter of Christian, son of Peter. Also includes a two page supplement on William T. Fry, grandson of Abraham and Susanna Ginther Fry.

Peter Ginther was born in 1740 in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania and married twice. He moved to Gnadenhutten Tuscarawas Co., Ohio and died in 1814.

"Lady Jeune''s salon was the rendezvous of all that was best in English society during the last thirty years of the nineteenth century. To her house in Harley Street flocked notabilities in every walk of life--statesmen, politicians, men distinguished in literature, science, and art, famous generals and naval officers, legal luminaries, and apostles of culture. It would probably be difficult to mention a single person of distinction of either sex who had not at some time or other been present at her receptions, sure of meeting there the most interesting ''lions'' of the day. To European and American visitors, Lady Jeune''s parties stood for the English counterpart of the brightest French salons, and their popularity remained unabated after Sir Francis Jeune was raised to the peerage as Baron St. Helier, until his death caused them to be discontinued. It can truly be asserted that Lady St. Helier''s ''Reminiscences'' form an integral part of the history of the Nineteenth Century, if the social life of England counts for anything in its pages. No mere summary of the book would give a clue to the interest of its contents; this is the grand vin of society, sparkling and unique."--
