Hi Pat, When you posted on the above names, I passed the information on to a friend who is researching MOYLE. She tried to e-mail you, but the address failed. I am including her letter to you and you can contact her direct. Hope this is helpful. Fran Nelson BARBARA'S LETTER FOLLOWS >Hi Pat, >(I may have sent this information to you before, If so, please forgive >the duplication. Maybe I'll get better organized in "2000".) > >I picked up your message on the GOLDRUSH list. > > I have a book on Cornish miners that lists a Thomas PIELGLASE/POLGLASE >in/around Grass Valley and Nevada City around 1855. A Samuel POLGLASE >and Richard POLGLASE in Michigan. " A Cornishman POLGLASE, foreman at >the giant Idaho-Maryland mine, when he visited the Comstock to inspect >the Ponderour machinery of the Consolidated Virginia." (This was near >Virginia City Nevada.) Then there is a reference to a Sam POLGLASE, " >whose mining career spanned from Upper Michigan to New Mexico". From >your E-mail I would guess maybe they are all related in some way. They >were all Cornish miners. > >A few months ago I was in a cemetery in Nevada City, California and >happened across a gravestone of Harriett and Edward MOYLE. Harriett >was born in 1841 and died in 1918 and Edward was born in 1845 and died >in 1923. So I think this must be the same Edward MOYLE. I had no idea >who he was, but took a picture anyway! My Mother was a MOYLE and I >have information on some of the line back to a Stephen MOYLE about 1716, >in Wendron Parish, Cornwall but nothing on an Edward MOYLE. You >mentioned you had received some shipping information from his >descendents. Can you tell me who they are? I would love to see if >there is some connection to my line. I do have a Jane MOYLE who married >a William GEORGE and I'm wondering if Edward and maybe John "George" >POLGLASE were from that line. Hey - maybe in a round-about-way we're >related!?! > >I live near Grass Valley and Nevada City, California so if I can check >anything out for you on John POLGLASE let me know. > >Happy New Year! > >Regards, >Barbara Selzer >FRITZFARM@jps.net >
