Greetings! I am Leo Joseph O'Filon III ("legally" just Filon without the O). My mother is Claire Agnes McCoog Filon, born 1937 in Philadelphia. Her parents were Clarence McCoog and Alice Dollard, born in Phila. Clarence's parents were Thomas McCoog, born 1885 in Penna.'s Anthracite Coal Region; and LULA (or LULU) FISHER, born 1888 or '89, and hailed from a Delaware community she only remembered as "Dog," which may be Dagsboro, Sussex County. (Or Dog's Ear Corner --> Roxana, Sus.Co.?) Although on the PA Marriage Cert. birthplace listed as Kent Co., Delaware. Lula and Thomas met in Phila. where both had moved for work, and married in 1906. Lula died in the mid-to-late 1960s in Maple Shade, NJ, where they had a farm(!). She was one of 13 children including "Pete," Clara, Anne, and possibly Charles. Lula's parents were MIRANDA (or MARANDA?) JOSEPH (info unknown) and a man whose last name was FISHER, who Lula said was "a Welsh fisherman," but may have been born in Delaware. They farmed in "Dog," DE. Mr. FISHER had relatives in Lewes or Rehoboth, DE, and Glen Burnie (incl. a Marguerite Fisher) and Chestertown, MD. MIRANDA died in the 1930s, location uncertain: maybe "Dog," maybe elsewhere. Miranda's parents were "an Indian" woman, according to Lula, and-- obviously--a man surnamed JOSEPH of unspecified background but presumably(??!!) *not* "an Indian"(??) No info. Do any of you know any of these folks or their relatives?? or have any questions?? Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963
