Hustontown, Pennsylvania is in present day Fulton County, just north of the PA Turnpike, east of Sideling Hill (mountain), and west of the Fort Littleton exit on the Turnpike. Fulton County was carved out of Bedford County in 1851. Bedford County was part of Cumberland County before 1771. The Huston for which Hustontown was named was also a Thomas. He was born in Ireland about 1787 and died 1864 in Hustontown, Fulton Co., Pa. His descendants can be found at Ron Rose's Fulton County, PA Rootsweb site at: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=REG&db=rrrose2&id=I047561 We only have three Brethren Churches in Fulton County, the Knobsville Church of the Brethren, a few miles south east of Hustontown, the Corner Church of the Brethren in Ayr township several miles east of Hustontown organized 1843, and the Pleasant Ridge Church of the Brethren, my home church, in Belfast Township, Fulton County several miles south of Hustontown. Both of these churches are newer. The Pleasant Ridge Church of the Brethren spun off of the Stone Bridge Church in Franklin County, Pa on the Maryland state line about 1870. I believe the Knobsville church was started around 1940.

I do not have information on whether Thomas and Agnes also came here, but I doubt it. > ____________________________________________________________ Rock Solid Web Hosting.
