Was searching the tax lists from the 1700s...looking for my George Lute... There is a book on Google, titled "Proprietory Tax Lists County Chester 1765-1769, 1771"    It took a while but, I found him   George Lute  100 acres    2 horses    2 cattle   2 sheep.   A question for you, was Montgomery County once part of Chester Co at that time period??   As I found basically the same info in that county. There is no index that I am aware of but saw many names that we have talked about at one time or the other on that list.. such as Sharpless.   Scottie

A friend sent me the following URL, with this to say about it: "It is truly marvelous what you can see. I typed in St. Neot and kept zooming in on the village. When you get real close you dump the little person symbol they have, say on top of this medieval church and a couple of second later, honestly, there you are, right on the street in front of the church on May 9, 2011. The spring bushes blooming are right in front of me with the church in the background. With my mouse, I look all around, at the cars, across the street, go around full-circle and look at other homes. It's truly wonderful! " S. http://maps.google.co.uk/

My ancestor's obituary mentions he was in the battles of Princeton, Germantown, and "der schwadischen Schalze" in Chester County. Does anyone know what this event was? The obituary is from the September 29th 1847 edition of the German language newspaper “The Bauren Freund" published at Pennsburg: "Died: On Wednesday the fifteenth day of September, in the morning at four o’clock Mr Jacob Klein, of Milford, Bucks County, at the age of 93 years and six months. He was the oldest inhabitant of this neighborhood, loved and respected b y all who knew the kindly old gentleman. In the years 1776 and 1777, he served his country in the Revolutionary War and was in the battles of those times including Princeton, Germantown and “der schwadischen Schalze” in Chester County. Deceased was survived by twelve adult children, 8 sons and 4 daughters, 93 grandchildren and 103 great grandchildren, a total of 208 descendants. On the following Saturday his remains were interred in the Lutheran Cemetary of the Six Cornered Church, in the presence of a large assembly of persons, at which Rev. F Waage, preached the funeral sermon on the text of Genesis, Chapter 32 verse 10." 

I looked and looked, and wonder if it doesn't mean, in German, " the Swedish (person named) Schulze"......a description of an individual....it'll be interesting to see what you can come up with. S.

I did as I suggested you try, earlier, and went to one of the online translator sites.....apparently it is misspelled...should be 'der schwedischen Schulze' ...it means "the Swedish Schulze"....you're on your own on the meaning of the word Schulze......lol If you sent your request to me, as a lookup, you'll need to go back to the instructions I've placed on the Chester Site, on how to place a query....I've tried to make them very clear, but if you have any difficulty, let me know. Sandra In my ancestor's obituary it states he was involved in "der schwadischen Schalze" in Chester County. What was that event? The obituary is from the September 29th 1847 edition of the German language newspaper “The Bauren Freund" published at Pennsburg: "Died: On Wednesday the fifteenth day of September, in the morning at four o’clock Mr Jacob Klein, of Milford, Bucks County, at the age of 93 years and six months. He was the oldest inhabitant of this neighborhood, loved and respected by all who knew the kindly old gentleman.

I'm filling in a couple of major missed lines in my genealogy (???? - I have a Family Finder match at Family Tree DNA to thank for delving into it). I'm filling in information from the Ancestry of Sharpless Moore, at Ancestry. It is the genealogy of Andrew Moore and contains a large number of allied families. I'll be glad to do lookups. Dora

Sandra, I can't open any of the files from this website.  I find it very disconcerting that you are doing your site so differently than ALL of the other gen sites I belong to.  Will you please help me figure out how to read the messages?  Thank you.  Phyllis H.

Marj W and list..you will find this information interesting for your Sir John Moore b. 1658 died Philadelphia Dec 1 1732....taken from Benjamin Franklin's Gazette, 1732. "He (Sir John Moore) was 74 years old when he died, per Benjamin Franklin's "Philadelphia Gazette", Nov. 30, 1732. MOORE, John, jurist, born in England, about 1658; died in Philadelphia, about 1 December, 1732. He is said to be one of the sons of Sir Francis Moore, whose father, Sir John Moore, was knighted by Charles II. in 1627. He was liberally educated, and adopted the profession of the law. About 1680 he emigrated, with his brother James, to South Carolina, and there no doubt practised in his profession until 1697, when he removed with his family and settled in Philadelphia, doing so, it is conjectured, at the instance of Colonel Robert Quarry, who in the same year removed from South Carolina to Philadelphia to become the judge of the vice-admiralty for Pennsylvania, Moore becoming the advocate for the crown in this court. In 1698 he was appointed by the king attorney-general for Pennsylvania, and at first declined the office, but afterward accepted it, when he was also appointed attorney-general by William Penn. In 1700 he was deputy judge under Quarry, and in 1704 was deputy and acting judge in Pennsylvania. In 1700 he was appointed register-general of Pennsylvania, and when Penn in 1703 commissioned Colonel Markham to fill the place, Moore refused to relinquish the office, saying that it was his "property and freehold, and conceived it to be a point of law," and demanded a trial thereof, which was granted, and he and Markham filled the office jointly while contesting the matter. Markham died during the next year, when Governor Evans appointed himself to the office, and thus settled the matter. In the same year Moore was commissioned collector of the customs in Pennsvlvania for the king, which office he filled until his death. Next to David Lloyd, Moore was the most eminent lawyer in Pennsylvania during its early colonial history. He was among the first members of Christ church, of which he was one of the vestrymen during many years preceding his death.--His son, John, merchant, born in South Carolina in 1686; died in New York city in 1749, was sent to England to be educated. On his return to this country he settled in New York, where he became a merchant. He was one of the aldermen of the city, served several years in the legislature, was colonel of a regiment, and at the time of his death a member of the provincial council. He was the first person that was buried in Trinity church-yard, New York city.--Another son, Thomas, clergyman, born in South Carolina in 1689: died in Little Britain, London, England, was graduated at Oxford university, took orders and became chaplain to Bishop Aherbury, of Rochester, whose sermons were published under the direction of Dr. Moore.--Another son, Daniel, was also educated at Oxford, became a distinguished lawyer, acquired a large estate, and was for several years a member of parliament. His daughter, Prances. became the wife of Chancellor Erskine.--Another son, William, jurist, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 6 May, 1699; died in Moore Hall, Chester County, Pennsylvania, 30 May, 1783, was sent by his father to England, where he was educated, and, after graduation at the University of Oxford in 1719, he returned to this country and settled at Moore Hall. He served in the assembly from 1733 till 1740, and in 1741 was commissioned a justice of the peace and judge of the county court. For forty years thereafter he was president judge of the court, and during the Indian troubles he commanded a militia regiment. He took an active part in the disputes between the governor and the assembly, favoring the proprietaries. In his published writings in Benjamin's Franklin's "Gazette" and elsewhere he attacked the assembly, and by this and other actions made himself so obnoxious to this body that they addressed the governor and asked that Moore be removed from office. He was finally arrested, imprisoned, and impeached, and in August, 1758, was tried before the governor and his council and acquitted, the governor declaring," "that Mr. Moore had purged himself from every one of them [the charges], and appeared to them to be perfectly innocent." Moore was characterized as " the most conspicuous and heroic figure in the county of Chester." His residence, Moore Hall, was situated on the Schuylkill river, twenty-three miles from Philadelphia, and within three miles of Valley Forge. The old stone mansion is still standing, and in 1787, when Washington went there on a fishing excursion, was known as the " Widow Moore's." See "William Moore, of Moore Hall," in "Historical and Biographical Sketches" (Philadelphia, 1883), and "Keith's Provincial Councillors" (1883).--The second John's grandson, Richard Channing', P. E. bishop, born in New York city, 21 August, 1762; died in Lynch-burg, Virginia, 11 November, 1841, was prepared to enter King's (now Columbia) college, but at the beginning of the Revolution his parents took him to West Point, New York, where he remained for four years, fie then studied medicine, obtained his diploma, and practised for several years, but afterward studied theology under Bishop Provoost's direction, and was ordained deacon in St. George's chapel, New York city, 15 July, 1787, and priest in St. Paul's chapel, 19 September, 1787, by that bishop. He was rector of Christ church, Rye, New York, for two years, when he accepted a call to St. Andrew's, Richmond, Staten Island, New York This post he held for twenty-one years. He received the degree of D. D. from Dartmouth in ]805. In 1808 he was a clerical deputy to the general convention of his church in Baltimore, Maryland, and was chairman of the committee on additions to its hymnal. In 1809 he accepted the rectorship of St. Stephen's, New York city, where he remained for five years. He was elected bishop of Virginia in 1814, and was consecrated in St. James's, Philadelphia, 18 May, 1814. On removing to Virginia he accepted the rectorship of the Monumental church in Richmond, where he remained during the rest of his life. In 1828 he asked for an assistant, owing to age and infirmity, and in 1829 Rev William Meade was consecrated to this office. Bishop Moore was eminently successful in rousing" the Episcopal church in Virginia, from its state of lethargy and depression. His death at a good old age occurred suddenly while he was on a visitation of his diocese. He published various addresses, charges to his clergy, and a sermon on "The Doctrines of the Church," which he preached before the General convention in 1820. A memoir of his life was published shortly after his death by the Reverend Dr. John P. K. Henshaw (Philadelphia, 1842).--His son, David, born in New York city, 3 June, 1787; died on Staten island. 30 September, 1856, was graduated at Columbia in 1806, ordained in May, 1808, and the next year succeeded his father in the rectorship of St. Andrew's, Staten island, where he remained for the rest of his life. He received the degree of D. D. from Union college in 1841. Edited Appletons Encyclopedia, Copyright c 2001 VirtualologyTM Per Benjamin Franklin's "Philadelphia Gazette", Feb. 1730, William Moore, Jane''s brother, advertised a reward if brought to his master at Moore Hall, Chester County, for a runaway Negro Jack, or if returned to John Moore, Esq.

how all and Cope have quite a few Hunters in the index of THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY, but no Patrick. There is an Andrew, but mentioned in the war of 1812...making him too young to be the brother of someone 75 in the same timeframe. No Thomas Buckman or Archibald McCorkle in the index, or Enos Morris. I found that Archibald McCorkle was a shoemaker in Bucks Co, and Thomas Buckman died in Newtown, Bucks Co, so I'd think you'd do better directing your questions to Bucks Co, seeing as how'll these folks seem liked to Bucks.....asking the question the 'right' place is as important as the question itself.

John lived in both Chester and Greene Co.s. He is listed in Hinshaw's and she is not. (?) Don't know why that would be. I cannot find her birth place in PA, nor her parents. I cannot decipher which Sarah Moore she is. If anyone has an insight to her parents, would appreciate anything leading that way.

My grandfather, Chester F. Baker, an avid genealogist, in addition to gathering data, loved digging back into records and old newspapers to flesh out the stories of his ancestors.  I've been reading through some of them as I (finally) get everything into the computer and thought I'd share a few over the next few days for a bit of a glimpse of how our ancestors lived (at least the things that made it into the newspaper) Jane Unger     From the Delaware County Republican, Friday May 28, 1852   Commonwealth vs. Ann Tulley – The defendant was indicted for Larceny.  Previous to her arrest, she resided with Mrs. Jane Flavill, of Chester, in the capacity of a house-keeper.  Some time during the month of April, Mts. F. was absent for a few days, and on her return she missed a number of yards of delaise, and two gold dollars which she was informed by a young lady who had her millinery establishment in charge, that she placed in the clock for safe keeping..  Mrs. Flavill had reason to suspect the defendant, and accordingly procured the keys of her trunk, opened it, and found the gold dollars, and various articles of her own property, such as silk and cotton laces, a variety of ribbons, mitts, undersleeves, a silk and linen handkerchief, an Odd Fellow’s rosette, and so on.  Ann, on being confronted, acknowledged that she had stolen a portion of the articles, and expressed contrition for the act.  The goods were all identified by the owner.  The Jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the court sentenced the defendant to pay a fine of one dollar to the Commonwealth, to restore the stolen property, and undergo an imprisonment of three months in the jail of Delaware County.     http://www.hootowlhollow.com http://www.hootowlhollow.blogspot.com

Nothing more on Nathan but here is some information on his brother Joseph Some additional information respecting Joseph Moore,Father of Phebe Truman,has been obtained since that on page 110 (#26 Sarah Smedley) was printed. He was a shoemaker by trade but in conjunction with his wife opened a dry goods store on Bank St.,where they were enabled to realize a competency,not withstanding their hospitality.It is said that Yearly Meeting time they lodged thirty Friends,the men in one room and the women in another,though the house was not a large one;and when Friendly looking persons came into the store Sarah was very apt to find they were relatives and insist on their taking a meal with them. The lot on Arch St.which they held by purchase and inheritance,was sold during the Revolution to Samuel Wetherell,for Lb.50,Pa.currency.In later life,when he saw the great advance in real estate,Joseph Moore much regretted their having made this sale. After the Revolution,at the reorganization of the Pennsylvania Abolition Society,in 1784,Joseph became a member,and for some years was on the commitee to visit the prison in search of such colored personsas might be committed there ,legally or otherwise,on the charge of being fugitive slaves,and to insure them a fair trial.At the organization of the Prison Society he became identified with it also. He always made his own shoes,taking plenty of time that they might be well seasoned;and after Congress removed to Washington he usually paid a visit to that city during each session.On such an occasion he entertained some of the members by stating that his shoemaker was his barber,and his barber was his tailor,,and probably mentioned some other accomplishment;so that they thought his shoemaker must be a very useful man.He had patterns by which he cut the matierials for his coat,vest and pants,and made these up himself.His white beaver hat ,according to a fashion,with many Friends,had the fur immediatly above the brim brushed smooth,and the upper part rough. When his grandchildren were left orphans they were brought to his home and cared for,and he was likewise attentive to his stepchildren.He died 12-25-1817,in his 77th year.

"The ship Delaware From Bristol in old England,John Moore Commander,arrived here the 11th of the 5 month 1686."Among the passengers were-- "Thomas Greene,husbandman and Margaret his wife: "Thomas and John their sons: "Mary Guest his servant for 7 years to come from the third day of May 1686: "Richard Moore,Brickmaker,& Mary his wife and children Mary and John: "Sarah Searle his servant for 4 years to come from the 3rd of May 1686: "Henry Guest,sawyer,and Mary his wife & Henry his sone." The wife of Richard Moore was the daughter of Thomas and Margaret Green.There is some reason to suppose that these persons came from the neighborhood of Birmingham,England. Thomas Green Sr.purchased 400 acres of land in Concord and gave 200 acres at the east end to his son Thomas and the other to his son John.The latter by will dated Dec.14,1691,gave all the estate to his mother,Margaret Green ,whom he appointed executrix.Her will is dated 7-7-1708,proven Oct.6,1708,in which she mentions sons Robert and Thomas Green,and grandson Henry Green;also cousin Henry Guest and other relatives.
