Can anyone tell me if there are existing film or copies of newspapers for Caroline Co. between 1783 through 1805? If they are on film, is there an index by surname? I've confirmed two marriages for my great-great-great-great grandfather WILLIAM COURSEY, JR. to Mary Thomas Dec. 15, 1783 and Sarah Jones 8 March 1805. I'm hoping there will be a write up about the wedding which might tell me more about their families. It's hard to search this kind of thing when I live so far away. Thank you cousins, friends and ancestral neighbors .... Caroline Byng Whidbey Island, WA

Hi list, I received the following from another mailing list & never dreamed we lost a summer -- food for thought! Just think what your ancestors went through, it sure is part of our genealogy. IT COULDN'T HAPPEN BUT IT DID IN 1816 THE KILLER YEAR When we think of survival, usually our thoughts go to facing a terrorist attack with a loaded gun or bomb, or perhaps tangling with a big truck on the interstate, or facing some other life threatening moment where there is little hope of escape. 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. This is a moral to all and a reminder that we survive most of us, not through human strength alone. The above was written in 1950 by Grover Brinkman

Good morning lists, I received this from another mailing list & it is outstanding! :) It is Cornell University's Library: Civil War info & other info from the year 1815 on.

Hi folks, I'd like to make a request of you. I have the GenWeb site for Tippecanoe Co., IN and always have on the main index page photo of a historical place or of pioneers of the county, or sometimes just a scenic area of the county. It's pretty easy since I live right here in Tippecanoe Co. and have ready access to that sort of thing, and my trusty digital camera. But unfortunately by living so far from Caroline Co. I'm not able to come up with those type of photos for the website. If you have photos from around the county or of your ancestors that you'd like to see posted on the Caroline Co. GenWeb site, I'd appreciate it if you would send them so that I could add them to the site. Here is a link to my Tippecanoe site so you can see what I'm talking about. I tend to change the picture about every 2 mos. This month I added one from my own family. Tippecanoe Co. INGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~intippec/index.html Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone, While going through some things of my mothers my father had packed away. I came across some old negatives and went and had them developed. They look like they are from the late 30's early 40's.I could be wrong. Feel free to correct me.<VBG>I passed them around to relatives on Kent Island and nobody seems to know who they are. I know they were taken on the eastern shore somewhere. If you have a spare moment stop and take a look at them and maybe somebody out there can give a name to some of these people. I will be more then glad to email a copy to you or if you find a relative I can snail mail you a copy. I put them on 2 pages so it wouldn't take as long to load. You might get multiple copies of this as I am posting it on a few lists.

<< 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 >>

James thought to have resided in Murderkill Hundred, Kent County, Delaware with his son George E. of first marriage and his mother in 1830. James and Ann in Franklin County, IN in 1840. Ann died in 1849. Would like to find more information on their Maryland and Delaware connections.

Dear Frank, My Carters are from Caroline Co., MD, also. I am dubious that we are from the same lines, but it certainly would be a good idea to explore the possibilities. Carter is a pretty common name! Do you have dates to go with your Carters? Here are my Carters that I know about: Alfred B. Carter (b. 3-29-1841, PA or MD; d. 3-29-1911; bur.

Note: Alfred could have been married to another Murphy prior to this marriage. His oldest child William was born in 5-1860, 7 months before the marriage of Lillian Ann and Alfred. William's DE death certificate lists his mother's name as Mary Murphy. Perhaps Mary was Lillian Ann's "nickname," or perhaps she was a previous spouse or paramour who may have died between her son's birth and her husband's second marriage?

Does anyone know who he married or his parents, children? I know that he went to Guilford Co., NC where he died 1789-1790. The 1783 Tax list shows: "Zadoc Mears. Gravelly Ridge, 50 acres. CA Lower Choptank District Hundred, p. 51. MSA S 1161-3-6 Location: 1/4/5/46 " Can anyone tell me where this was before Carolline County was formed. I'm wondering if he might be connected with the GOLDBOROUGH family as this name is common in some that I believe are descendants. Thanks for any help! Ann (Jobe) Brown

It was written that they were from Caroline County (Where John Hutson owned property) but they are not in the 1840 Caroline Cty. census. I have found Abner Dill's in Kent County, Delaware (in the 1790 and 1810) especially Nancy in the censuses. There is a Nancy in the 1850 census (b. abt. 1797, about the right time frame for Nancy Hutson) listed with 2 children , Samuel age 19 and Sarah age 22. Any help with this would be appreciated
