Fagen is a variant of Fagan - Ancestry.com offers: "Fagan Name Meaning - Gaelicized version of a surname of Norman origin, from the personal name Pagan meaning rustic. in some cases it is a reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Fágáin or Ó Faodhagáin, which are probably dialect forms of Ó hÓgáin (see Hogan, Hagan) and Ó hAodhagáin (see Hagan). Irish lenited f (spelled fh) is soundless, and a number of words beginning with vowels have gained an initial f in some dialects; such seems to be the case here. occasionally an Anglicized form of Mac Phaidín (see McFadden) or Ó Fiacháin (see Feehan)."

As received by e-mail in February, 2000:
"I happened upon your website the other day, and noticed that you had a William Kehres listed. I am sending you some information which was given to me from a Leitzel relative. My Grandfather was Fred Kehres, and my grandmother was Irene Leitzel. -- Sharon Blankenship (Glassygal@aol.com). PS. I had to scan this from paper, so there may be some typo's that I didn't catch and fix.
"FRANKLIN L. KEHRES, of Rebuck, is engaged as a merchant, hotel- keeper and farmer carrying on a business established by his grand father many years ago. He has the leading story and hotel at the place. Mr. Kehres was born in Washington township, where he has passed all his life, Nov. 30, 1857, son of Nathan F. and Catharine (Hoffman) Kehres. He belongs to an old family of this region, his father and grandfather having lived in Washington township, and, bear a name which, in various forms, is now numerously represented in Pennsylvania. The original form was Gehres, and the branches of the family found in Berks and Schuylkill counties, and in the Shamokin region, still retain that spelling as the variation Gehris- William Kehres, grandfather of Franklin L. Kehres, made the change from 'G' to 'K' which has been followed by his posterity.
"John Gehres, the emigrant ancestor of this family, is said to have come from Germany, and at first located in Berks county; Pa., whence be moved across the Blue Mountains into Schuylkill county settling in the Deep Creek Valley, where he owned land. He died in 1820, and his wife, whose maiden name was Catharine Otto, survived him over fifty years, dying in April, 1873, at the advanced age of ninety-three.

He was twice married, and survived both his wives, one of whom was a Reed.
"Among his seventeen children were: Sarah, Lovina, Carolina, Lydia, Emanuel (of Upper Mahantango Valley), Daniel (of Shamokin, Pa.) and Mrs. Haupt (who lives at Mount Cannel Pa.).

He lived in Washington township, Northumberland county, where he was active throughout a long life, 'in his earlier manhood following fanning exclusively and later building the Kehres mill, on Greenbrier creek, which he operated for many years besides following agricultural pursuits.
