Could someone check and see if there are any ANCELL'S in the cemetery books. Sharon

I'm wondering if Joseph White, father of Harry White, could be the Joseph in the 1850 Pike County census listed as 9 yrs. old, born in Ireland and living at that time in New Salem Township. I'm trying to trace Thomas White, b.1820 in Ireland, and also living in New Salem at the time. Thanks for any help, Ann White Virginia

Thanks Dorothy for answering the question much better than I. I appreciate the additional information. If you want any information on the Butler family let me know and I will send it to you. Probably snail mail will be the best.

Greg, Harry White's ( my generation) fathers name was Harry Oliver White. I don't believe I have his fathers name. Hopefully, I will be writing Harry Jr. about some other matters and I can ask him then. Harry Jr. lives in the Quincy area and I believe they had Pike Co. roots.

The Harry White, Jr. that Bob had reference to, is the son of Harry Oliver White who was born & raised and lived all his life in farmhome west of Perry, Pike County. His father who came to this area, was Joseph White born 1843 in County Derry, Ireland.

The Pittsfield Library is centrally located and they have a Genealogy section that I think is quite good. I just don't have enough time to get to it.

I have a copy of the Worsham/Washam family history book, and would like to make it available for other researchers. As there is no Gen. Society, I suppose a library would be the next best choice. For all the people who have done research in Pike County, which library would you recommend I send it to? Is there one library that has a big Gen. department? All recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

I have to agree wholeheartedly with Pat. The people at Pittsfield Library are the MOST helpful when it comes to assisting you with something you need to find. This comes from my own personal experience and what has been told to me by others. Janet

I guess that's really my question. Is Harry White of this generation the son or even grandson, g-grandson of the Harry White that lived in the 1880's? Do you know if your Harry White Jr has Pike County heritage? Greg Sippel Overland Park, Kansas

Greg, Sorry no. This Harry White is of my generation. It might have been his dad though.

Is Harry White Jr. related to the Harry H. White who was the enumerator in Hardin Twsp in 1880 census? And the same Harry H. White that was written in Chas. Chapman's History of Pike County? Greg Sippel Overland Park, Kansas

Hi Tudie and list: Thanks for asking. I am waiting for the new Elledge books (3 Vol) by Cynthia Snider for working on Elledges. Sorry I was late answering. Had my two grandchildren in for visit. Keep Searching, Leroy

Naomi, Thanls for your intrest. James F. Morton and Ellen Hill lived in Beaver Co. PA area. One of there 10 children, James Alexander was born there around 1840. He moved to Pike County and married Amanda Walker. I have not dicovered any of the other 9 children. Thanks -- dwvwiv@earthlink.net Wilma and Donald Vaughn

Barbara, I am so sorry it has taken me this long to get this to you. James H. Chenoweth, one of Pike county's oldest and most respected citizens, was born in Nelson Co. KY, July 9, 1801. His father, Wm. chenoweth, went to that state from Virginia when a young man, and took part in many an Indian fight on 'the dark and bloody ground'. He married the widow of John Hinton who maiden name was mary VanMeter; of this family were 10 children, all of whom lived to be grown; William, Jacob, Abraham, Isaac, Miles, James, hardin, Letitia, Ruth and James H. Jacob, Abraham and James all came to Pike county and were among its more worthy and substantial pioneer citizens. James H., the subject of this sketch, first came to this state in 1832, stopping for a while in scott Co., and came to Pike in the spring of 1833, locating on secs. 27 and 28, Perry township, where he entered 240 acres of land. He at once erected a double log cabin, in which he lived for several years; he then built the frame house which still occupies the site; 30 acres of this farm Mr. C laid off in town lots as 'Chenoweth's Addition to the Town of Perry'. Mr. C is one of the oldest residents of the county, and is a good example of what industry and economy will accomplish. He is now 78 years of age, and is the owner of between 500 and 600 acres of land in this county, as well as land in Missouri. Mr. C was married in 1831 to Artemisia Burkhead, of Nelson CO., KY. One child, Abraham, was born to them in KY; James H. Jr., Mary, Joseph K., deceased, Joseph S., Robert A., Ruth, David J., Jacob V and Susanna R., deceased, were all born in Pike county, the 8 children living are all married. Three David, Jacob and Ruth (the latter the wife of Chas. O. Turner) are still living in this county. Mr. C's wife died Jan. 4, 1874, and Mr. C is now living with his daughter, Mrs. Turner. Mr. C was formely a Whig, but since the organization of the Republican part he has voted with that party. One of his sons, Robert A. served two years during the Rebellion in the 33d Il Inft. Mr. C is a member of the Christian Church, as also was Mrs. C; and in the affairs of the Chruch he has always taken a prominent part. All of his children are also members of that church. Mr. C is familiarly known as 'Uncle Jim' and no man in the township is better known, and has fewer enemies. He was always full of fun, and liked to fish and hunt, and enjoy himself in such sport. His average weight is 212 pounds. One of his favorite games was tying men who boasted of their strength. He would take his rope and tell his man that he would tie him, giving him leave to fight or do anthing by gouge and bite; that was all he asked of the strongest man, and he never yet failed in his object. He drank whisky with the'boys' and sometimes when alone, from the time he was 16 years old until he was 74. at present he only takes wine. He thinks he averaged a quart of liquor per day for 57 years, and the other day he figured it up, counting only one pint per day, and it made over 72 barrels, of 44 gallons each! He is will to throw off 2 carrels in the estimate, which would leave wvwn 70 barrels, or 3,080 gallons. Now, it it cost $2 per gallon, it would amount to $6,160; and if the whisky he has drank were sold at 10 cents a drink, allowing 10 drinks to the pint, it would amount to $24,640; and he thinks he has drank tice that amount, or $49,280 worth of whisky!! Perhaps he has given away as muchas he has drank, which would make a total expense of $98,560. and he is yet stout enough to round his number out to even $100,000eith by drinking the liquor or giving it away.

Do you have any Crawfords who traveled from North Ireland to South Carolina? If so, do the names of McCarley, Caldwell, or Thomas mean anything to you? Ruth Moore
