Is the Finney family mentioned a variant spelling of the Finley family who lived in Fagg's Manor.  The Presbyterian minister, John Finley, is said to have kept records of the marriages performed by him in the 1780's.  Can anyone tell me where to view that list?  Can anyone enlighten me about Jane Worley? --- On Sun, 9/6/09, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: PA-OLD-CHESTER Digest, Vol 4, Issue 174 To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, September 6, 2009, 2:01 AM Today's Topics:    1.  Morris Llwellyn et al (Sandra Ferguson)    2.  correcting existing records......... appt. officers       batallion of Chester Co Flying Camp.

Sandra, You bring up a good point.  I agree it's important to never 'correct' the original transcription but to report it faithfully.  However, I believe in today's Google world, it's more critical than ever to provide interpretations, additional information and context including alternate spellings to facilitiate search engines.  The whole point of this newslist is to help people find their folk isn't it?

Someone asked about a James Bean, and when I looked in the CD of wills, I found adm papers that used the spelling Bean (Bane), which got me thinking, so I looked under Bean and Bane, in Futhey and Cope....found the following on the Bane family, who seemed to have James in each generation, and might be the 'way to go' when researching James Bean. S. BEAN (BANE), JAMES. Chester County.January 6, 1809.Esther Bean and Daniel Meredith, Administrators. Alexander Bane...Merion...bought 300 acres Goshen 1711 and settled there. 1713 married Jane Moore and had ch - Jane, Mary, William Catharine, Alexander and David; Wm m Margaret, dau Thomas Evans ca 1746 and had ch - Alexander, Thomas, Elizabeth (m Jonathan Hoopes), Wm, Jesse, Nathan, Abner, Jane and James. Mordecai Bane, probably bro of Alexander, bought land in 1715, Goshen, where he died ca 1747 leaving second wife, Mary (Teague) and children - Mordecai, Nathan, James, Joseph, Mary, Samuel, Isaac, Sarah, Hannah, Rachel, Barbara, and Jane. Nathan Bane, s Mordecai, m 12-27-1735, Mary Cock, d Henry and Mary Cock, of Long Island b 8-8-1711. He died Goshen 1748, leaving 8 children. Among them, Amy, m Nathan Cope 1758, Sarah m Thomas Hoopes 1763, James m Ruth Waln, 1765. Elizabeth m Daniel Hoopes 1762, Deborah m Samuel Rea, 1774.

Sandra --- For those who don't know, following the victories of 1775, Washington had too many militia volunteers to productively use. He sent many of the units 25-50 miles outside of New York City so as to spread out the forage consumption of the greater army. These reserves were to be ready to march upon a moment's notice, hence the name "Flying Camp" Since these are going into the archives - I'll offer my corrections to the original transcription to facilitate folks searching by the more common spellings of their ancestors. Based on Pennsylvania Archives and family records: * I believe the John McDowell was James McDowell, husband of Elizabeth Loughead - he was known to have been captain of the 4th batallion under Montgomery during the Fall/Winter campaigns of 1776 - reports of his unit's service during the campaign suggests that he was part of the Flying Camp during the battles on Long Island and Manhattan. * Joseph Strasbridge is actually Joseph Strawbridge. James McDowell bought a farm in Upper Oxford from Dr. Thos. Ruston in 1798 next to Strawbridge's residence - McDowell and Strawbridge children both married into the Boyd family and were neighbors through the late 1800's. * Allen Cunningham is actually Allen or Alan Cuningham with one 'n' - in 1894 a descendant, Alan Cuningham, would marry Ethel Pusey, sister-in-law to Thomas Rankin McDowell, son of James Boyd McDowell and gr-gr-grandson of James McDowell. * Lasarus Rinney is likely the 25 year old single Lazarus Finney, son of Robert Finney and Diana Spencer - he later served as First Lieutenant in Evan Evans' Second Batallion of Chester County Militia. His aunt, Catherine Simonton Finney, was married to James McDowell's brother-in-law, James Loughead, Infantry Colonel in 1776 and a dispatch-bearer for Washington to frontier Pennsylvania forces, Philadelphia City Paymaster in 1777 and Assistant Paymaster-General of the Pennsylvania militia in 1778. When the British occupied Philadelphia in late 1777, Col. Loughead sent his family to live with his brother-in-law, James McDowell in what is now Lincoln Station, outside of Oxford. The McDowells, Finneys, and Cuninghams were all members of the New London Presbyterian Church where McDowell and Cuningham were buried. I believe Lazarus is buried up in Northumberland county where he and his wife, Elizabeth (Fulton?) settled some time in the mid/late 1780's - also where some of James Loughead's children settled about the same time. Not sure about the Strawbridges...

A helpful list member sent this to me, and I'm posting it in the hopes that it might be a clue for Llwellyn researchers. S. "This Llwellyn family may be better documented in what is now Montgomery County, PA. The Llwellyn homestead still exists and is on the Montgomery County side of the road which now divides Delaware and Montgomery County. In early days, of course, Delaware County was a part of Chester County."

Morris Llwellyn...appears on the taxables list of 1693. In early court records..Morris ( 1697)took an indentured woman servant, unknown name, to serve 5 years served on a grand jury in 1710. Doesn't appear to have left a will or adm. papers

There was a Treviller family in Willistown at that time. Cope identifies a Catharine,Henry,James and Mary. Visit The George Smedley Homepage http://smedley.lewis.home.att.net

from a lookup; Peter Osborn's widow, Judith, married William Harvey 6m12, 1714, who had come to Pa on the same ship with the Osbornes, in 1712..... Judith was born in Bilson, Staffordshire, England, in 1683...she went on to have 5 children with William Harvey; Hannah, William, Isaac, Amos, and James. (this is found in Futhey and Cope's THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY PA. ) Neither Peter or a Joseph or Samuel Osborn/Osborne left a will or adm papers in either Chester or Phil Cos. I find Samuel being taxed in Westtown in 1753, and also in the 1765 Chester Archives, owning land in Westtown. Peter Osbourn is also in the 1765 Archives, as being a freeman in Westtown, an unmarried man living in the township, but owning no land. Samuel Osborn, in 1765, owned 200 acres in East Bradford . Peter Osborn, of Whiteland, m 1734.4.6 Hannah Paschall at Goshen meeting house. Samuel Osborne of West town, m Pheby Yearsly, wid, 8-5m 1777, in Birmingham mh. . I cannot find a marriage for an Elizabeth Hunt. I found Francis, dau of Richard and Phebe Grubb Buffington, as married to Samuel Osborn, but I can't find anything else (in Futhey and Cope's history). I'll include Richard's will, below, as proof of marriage of Francis to Samuel. BUFFINGTON, RICHARD. W. Bradford, yeoman. April 3, 1741. May 12, 1741. B. 80. To son John daughter Frances wife of Saml. Osborn and daughter Phebe wife of John Wall 5 shillings each. Executors to sell all real estate.

Be wary of any site that tells you they know the origin of YOUR family, and have a family crest (or in this case a family scroll) that is all about your family, and they want to sell it to you for $20.00....as we all know there are lots of different origins of every family, and not all of any name can be assured of who they are related to....that's what research is all about, finding our own ancestors! So, view these things as 'entertainment' value only, and certainly not any sort of factual info. S. This is an interesting site but I can't vouch for it's purity http://www.surnamedb.com/home.aspx
