Thomas is said to have come from England, but I have no proof. Sorry I do not have the dates you requested. If you have any dates I would like to have them.

These may or may not be useful as possible relatives: 1) I noted an Elizabeth Green who on 8/20/1838 married a Thomas T. Joseph, indexed to Mormon microfilm reference no. 0006419. (Could Elizabeth be your John's kid sister? cousin? neice?) 2) They may be the couple listed in the 1850 Census (it doesn't include maiden names!) on page 20, starting line 26, 291st home and family visited that year in "Georgetown-Broadkiln Hundred", Sussex Co. Delaware, as follows: a) Thomas T. Joseph, 33yo, male, color blank, Farmer, real estate owned valued at $500, born in Sussex County Delaware (Yes, this enumerator included the county!) b) Elizabeth, 33, female, blank, Sussex Co. Del. c) Pauline, 9, female, Sussex Co. Del., attended school within the year d) Gardiner W.(?), 7, male, Sussex Co. Del., attended school w/in the year e) Miranda A., 5, female, Sussex Co. Del. f) Adolphus E., 2, male, Sussex Co. Del. (Miranda is one of at least *three* females of the name in that neighborhood and time-frame who *might* be my GGgrandmother. My Ggrandmother, Lula/Lulu Fisher, said my GGGgrandmother, Miranda Joseph's mother, "was an Indian.") 3) Harmony Methodist Church cemetery in Millsboro, according to http://hometown.aol.com/jacklyn001/ contains graves marked for: Isaac H. Greene, 1907-1987 [sic], and Samuel C. Greene, 1903-1982 [sic].

Hi Lists, I received the following from another list & asked for permission to post it. I found this very interesting & thought it might be helpful in regard to money being used in this time period: ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 24, 2002 8:15 PM Subject: Re: [PACHESTE] SCHEME Of A LOTTERY, 1762 In a message dated 11/23/2002 2:36:03 PM Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes: January 14, 1762 The Pennsylvania Gazette > > SCHEME Of A LOTTERY, for raising Fifteen Hundred Dollars, to help to > > finish the New Presbyterian Church, now erecting in the Forks of > > Brandywine. > Wait one. > > I guess I don't understand a 1762 posting that refers to money as dollars'. > > I thought the currency of the realm at that time was pounds ... and shillings ... and pence, etc. > > Can someone explain this ?? > > DICK FOLKERTH > Dallas, Texas Allow me to venture a guess as to what the term dollars might have meant in 1762. As you know, George III was slipping in and out of insanity, and would not allow any mintage of royal coinage. I don't know the exact timing of this, but suffice to say his attitude and the rapid expansion of commerce in the colonies caused a lasting and inconvenient shortage of coinage, even down to farthings, pence, and shillings. One of the more popular coins used was the Spanish Eight Reales, often called a dollar. Eventually, the Bank of England bought a number of these coins from Spain, and stamped a tiny royal bust on the neck of the Spanish king. This lead to the creation of a rhyme: The bank to make its Spanish dollars pass Stamped the head of a fool on the neck of an ass. Notwithstanding the legitimization of the Dollar many of them were used in their "native" state. Actually the Spanish Eight Reales piece was legal tender in the United States until (I think) 1856. Incidentally, the dollar, being of good silver, was cut into "bits"...eight of them, thus "two bits", a quarter, "four bits", half a dollar, if you are old enough to remember the use of those terms. One bit was a "picayune", an eighth of a dollar, and one supposes, the price of a pack of those New Orleans cigarettes called "Picayune"; strong enough to curl your hair! Or perhaps the entire Scheme of a Lottery was a fake! Phil Andrew Lache pas la patat

Janet, It's been my experience that Ancestry.com's page-numbers are often off by 1 or 2 pages. Why not try looking not just at the page given, but one or two pages before and after?

Thanks, Terri! I now have *three* MJ's from the right time period in the same couple of Hundreds...2 of them practically neighbors. :o| Who knew it was such a common name?!!! I'm pretty confident that *one* of them is my GGgrandmother--And that's the problem of skipping generations when we do genealogy! The problem I'm running into is that there's apparently no discoverable document listing both her and her daughter...If only I could find one of them listed with a Lula/Lulu. Probably the 1890 Census! :( (There are apparently no vital records in Delaware for either/any[!] of them. Not completely surprising, since they weren't mandatory there until 1913, but still frustrating.) Any ideas? commiserations?!!
