After sending out my last query regarding a request for help, I subscribed to Ancestry.com and have been checking out the Census Records for Kent County....Guess I am going to need a Soundex. Does anyone on this list have access to the 1910 and or 1920 Delaware Soundex. I am looking for a William or Wallace Dennison...he would have had small children in the household during these years. D525 Appreciate any help with this. Kathleen Burnett

I would appreciate a Kent County 1910 and or 1920 Census Lookup if anyone on this list has the ability. I am looking for a William Wallace (could be just Wallace) DENNISON. If the look up is 1910 there is only one child in the family again, William or Wallace. If it is a 1920 Lookup there will be an addition child, Thelma. This family could be living in Wyoming. I appreciate any and all help that I receive. I should have taken care of this line of my research while living in Dover 10+ years ago. A good lesson in the downfalls of procrastination.

Dear Helen, I have found NO connections between my Elizabeth (TULL) McCULLOUGH (b. 1811; d. 1-20-1885, Wilmington, New Castle Co., DE, her sister Mary A. TULL (b. abt. 1807) and any other TULL families. Maybe you can connect them to your Edward TULL? Mary is living with Elizabeth and her husband Jethro J. McCULLOUGH in 1860 (census report for North East, District 5, Cecil Co., MD). Mary A. is buried in the same cemetery plot as Elizabeth and Jethro in North East, MD. Karen Carter Sandy, UT Helen wrote to MDCAROLI list on 1/19/02 6:47:35 AM Mountain Standard Time: ". . . . I understand that my gr. grandfather moved to Laurel,De and became the justice of the peace, I have yet to find his gravesite. HIs name was Edward James Tull."

I am looking for an address of someone who was living in Wyoming DE in 1931. Was there a Phone Book for that time period and did it have addresses?? Kathleen Burnett List Mom

Sorry, I sent it out with the wrong subject line! Good morning, I'm interested in any HEARNs that married into the CALLAWAY Family.

Old man weather seldom figures in our survival picture. Even in weather extremes, man would survive, wouldn't he? Usually, but wait a moment. The summer of 1816 was nonexistent. It was a killer year over much of the US. This is not legend but statistical facts. Sunshine Magazine much quoted international journal gave this account of the phenomenon: "January was so mild that people allowed their fires to go out. February was also mild, and so was March. April came in warm, but as the days lengthened, the air became colder, and by May 1, temperatures were like those of the winter. Young birds were frozen stiff in their nests, and ice formed on the ponds and the rivers of the Midwest. Corn was killed and fields were planted again, with no germination. By the end of May all vegetation had been killed by the cold. June was the coldest month ever experienced in this latitude. All of the fruit was destroyed, snow lay ten inches thick in Vermont on July 4, 1816, and all of New England was ice covered. August proved to be the worst month of all. There was great starvation among the people." That summation of the year of 1816 seems incredible, but there are other statistical facts. R A. Weinel, a Missouri historian, states facts that a repetition of the above and he makes an addition: "In Virginia, Thomas Jefferson applied for an emergency loan to tide him over his crop failures. Europe, too, was hard hit by the unseasonable cold and in 1816 was also known in England as the year without a summer. Henry & Elizabeth Stommel argue in Volcano Weather, their book about the phenomenon, that a typhus epidemic had killed 65,000 people in the British Isles in 1816 was related to this cold-induced famine." The cause of this global misery, scientists now believe, was the eruption of Mount Tambora, a Volcano in the Dutch Indies, In what was probably one of the most powerful volcanic outbursts in ten thousand years, Tambora spewed 25 cubic miles of debris into the Upper Atmosphere. The heavier particles fell in the Pacific Ocean, forming a slush of pumice two feet thick. The lighter debris remained aloft for months and blanketed the shies over much of the Northern Hemisphere. How accurate are these records? Today's meteorologists think they are quite factual, for many writers reported on the same subject, and most of them describe the summer of 1816 almost word for word.

<< Hi: Is it possible to locate any directories or information concerning a person that lived and worked within Aston County during the 1870's. My great grandfather, David COBOURN according to the 1880 census was a blacksmith and evidently his son William continued this trade within the same area. My grandfather was Jeremiah COBOURN, born in Rockdale in 1875. So far in tracing my paternal side the COBOURN family has resided in Delaware County. Thank you for any assistance or advice you can give me. Walt Cobourn, Port St Lucie, Fl cob1326@msn.com >> Hi Walt, Sorry, I don't know of any directories for Aston Twp., Delaware Co., PA. The easiest way to find info on a family, is to use the Federal Census records, of Delaware Co. to trace the COBOURNs from 1920 back to 1790, if it applies. Second, I would contact Paul DOUGHERTY at the Aston Historical Society at (610) 497-1255. Their hours are: Monday: 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM Wednesday: 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM You may want to contact Calvary Episcopal Church & Cemetery in Rockdale, Aston Twp., PA. To see if any COBOURNs are buried there but have their give names -- not just a surname -- then have them do a search. When a small historical church does research for you it is always very nice to give them a donation for their help. These people have always been very helpful. Calvary Episcopal Church Mount Road Aston, PA 19014 (610) 459-2013 Also, contact Mt. Hope Church & Cemetery in Aston, they maybe able to help, too. I have found in the past that they will tell you their records are not well kept & the person is not buried there. If you walk through the cemetery you may just find some family gravestone & when you go back to the office & tell them this, they then find the records. Mount Hope United Methodist Church 882 Concord Road Aston, PA 19014 (610) 459-0248 Next, I would contact the Delaware County Historical Society, (DCHS). Especially, after you have dates of deaths you can have them lookup obits for you & ask them if they have any info on the COBOURN Family of Aston. Furthermore, ask them if they know of anyone doing research on this surname? The (DCHS) can also do census & cemetery searches for you. Before 1789 Delaware Co. was part of Chester Co. -- if you trace your family back that far, you then would look in Chester Co. records. Here is (DCHS) website: <A HREF="http://www.delcohistory.org/dchs/">PA DCHS</A> http://www.delcohistory.org/dchs/ Have you subscribed to the COBOURN mailing list & sent out queries? Have you subscribed to the Delaware Co., PA mailing list & sent out queries? Are there any COBOURNs still living in the Aston area that may be able to assist you in your research or share family info with you? This is also one of the easiest ways to find info--just phone them! :) Here are other websites related to Delaware Co., that maybe of help: <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/delawap.html">PA Dela.

Please take note to the many different spellings of COBOURN when you are doing your genealogy research. COBOURN - COBURN - COCKBOURNE - COEBOURNE - COEBURN - COLEBORNE - COLEBOURNE - COULBORNE. A COLEBORNE Family was in Somerset Co., MD, before 1677. You will find that many families in Delaware Co.,-Chester Co., came up from the State of Delaware & the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Hence, you may eventually find out this is your family line! :) I hope this has been of some help to you & if you have any questions please e-mail me! :) Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) CORRECTION: Aston County (should be Aston Township) in Delaware Co., PA

Hi, You may find information on "Daniel BOONE's excursion to KY in the 1770's and who he went with, the COBURN's, James and possibly his young son John, b1762 Philadelphia, though the CALLAWAY Family Assoc., (CFA) & their Callaway Family Journal. I descend from Peter CALLAWAY. Here are their websites: Callaway *(New) Family Assoc. Webs… http://www.callawayfamily.org./ Callaway Census Records http://www.lgc.peachnet.edu/callaway/cfa4.htm Callaway Family Assoc. http://www.lgc.peachnet.edu/callaway/cfa1.htm I was at the BOONE Homestead, here in PA, may years back & was looking in a book that gave his descendants. One of his descendants married at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Chester, Delaware Co., PA. It has been so long ago, since I read this, I can't remember their names. Now, about the COBURN & DeWEES Families they are both in the Delaware & Chester Co. areas but they go back to the State of Delaware & the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I did some research for a client on the DeWEES Family. They immigrated to New York from Holland in 1688 & then to Kent Co., DE. There is a book out on the DeWEES - DeWEESE Family -- you may be able to get though inter library loan. I had a query last week on COBURN -- I will send a copy to the mailing lists.

My interests is with Daniel Boone's excursion to KY in the 1770's and who he went with, the Coburn's, James and possibly his young son John, b1762 Phidelphia. John moved to KYin 1785, after serviee and law studies, and handled some of D. Boone's land claims. It is unclear as to which James is John's father, and who his other siblings were except Mary Coburn who married William DeWeese, of Whitemarsh Twp, and came to KY with him in 1785. We suspect that these Coburns may be from the Chester area. Love to hear from anyone with interest in these surnames. Regards, Jan Portland, OR >>

Dear List Members: The Holiday Season is over and I am back home again. I want to thank each of you for helping to keep our list running smoothly while I was spending Christmas with three of my children and their families in Delaware and Maryland. I had a wonderful time but came down the flu the day after Christmas which turned in to pneumonia so my week away from you turned into over two weeks. I am doing better, still weak and coughing but on the road to better heath. One other problem while I was away, I had downloaded a huge amount messages on my laptop while in Delaware and my laptop crashed. If you tried to send me a personal message from the 23rd to the 30th of December, I lost it and you will need to re-send. It is time again for your last Quarterly Report for 2001 as to the membership of the DEKENT Mailing List and additional items of interest. The DEKENT Mailing List has 89 members, 61 of these are subscribed to the Regular List and 28 to the Digest List. If you would like to visit the archived messages you may go to http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl and type in DEKENT. From there you can search by keyword. There is a great Rootsweb site you can go to if you want to find out what Rootsweb lists you are a member of or need to unsubscribe from a list, just follow the instructions. http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ I want to thank each of you for continuing to help make this list the success it is. I also want to thank you for your support of me and your willingness to follow the list rules. I have been a List Mom now since 1997 and truly feel I have the best List Members out there who have subscribed to the Mailing Lists I take care of for Rootsweb. Just a reminder so this list is better for each of us the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc. (in other words - spam) is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of us. 1. If someone posts a message to the list that should not have been posted, please just delete it. Know that I am taking care of the problem. If you post your unhappiness, then you just continue on the problem. I know it is hard when your heart has been offended, but for my sake, and the sake of the list, please just delete it. Rootsweb has a wonderful Spam Detective and it stops most of it. You should see what comes across my screen. I have to look at each of them to make sure that what was stopped was truly spam. Once in a while, one slips by though and if this happens, just delete it and go on with what we all love, genealogical research. 2. If you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line it might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is searching for the information you are posting. 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers you are looking for. 4. The wonderful relationship that develops between list members is also one of a Mailing Lists Problems. I encourage you to respond to the entire list with genealogical responses, you never know who your response will help. In the same thought I would like to ask you to not respond to the entire list with personal responses. Such as the first message from a member says Says "Happy Birthday Joan" and then Joan says "Thank you" and then about 60 of our members also send "Happy Birthday Joan". This is what I mean by personal messages. Just keep in mind anything is ok to be posted as long as it has to do with the subject of the list. If you have a doubt ask me. KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net 5. Please keep your Virus Scan updated as often as possible. If by chance one of our members unknowingly sends out a virus, please let me take care of it behind the scenes. Know that if you received it, I most likely did also. If you are concerned that I am not aware of the effected system, contact me personally KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net Please do not post to the entire list the name and e-mail address of the person you feel has the virus. If you are interested in knowing about other mailing list out there, one of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John Fuller's Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html I wish for each of you a success in the year 2002 with your most difficult genealogical mystery. Kathleen Burnett List Mom KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net

These families members could now be in PA, DE, MD area!

Does anyone have record of a Hutchingson (or any variation of the spelling) in Delaware early 1800's who had a daughter Elizabeth B. born 1818 DE. Something must have happened to this family and Elizabeth was the only child or the only child left. She was raised by an Aunt Alice who married a VanHorn. She was raised in the Carbon Co., area of PA. Any suggestions or clues? Kathleen Burnett

Good morning List, Would you be a descendant of Harvey N. NICHOLS [1881-1945] from Delaware - Eastern Shore of Maryland area or do you know someone who is? I have important info! :) Happy Holiday's, Helen (DCGS)
