-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scottie Sent: Monday, March 02, 2009 9:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [PaOldC] Isabella Johns pension record info >....it gave me gooseflesh when I first read it and still does! >Scottie I know the following is not Chester County but it gives one an idea of what the war meant to some families and their lives. In her pension application of Sybil Adams, based on the service of her father Jonathan Stone, she states: "My father lived at Templeton Mass. he enlisted and went and left his family consisting of his wife and 3 children in a log house in the Wilderness. I was the oldest and was 7 yrs the land was sold ... the children had to be put out and suffered a great deal the youngest was 3 years old when his father was killed." Several depositions referring to his death, all along the lines of this one: State of Massachusetts Franklin County SS On this 2nd day of January A.D. 1857 Personally came Nathan Stone a resident of Burwick in the state and county above named aged 70 years who first being duly sworn according to law on his oath makes the following statements: I am the son of Seth Stone who was Brother of Jonathan Stone who enlisted in the U States service in the time of the revolution at Templeton Massachusetts as to the death of Jonathan Stone I have no knowledge except what was told by my father and others when a youth which was that he was killed when on the retreat at the time of the Battle of White Plains at or near a place called Harlem in NY. The news was brought to his wife and friends by a Mr Fillmore who stated he was shot through both knees by grape shot and he (Fillmore) and others helped him into a Barn and left him after [????]ing some rum into his canteen which was all the assistance he could render. This report was considered reliable at the time and was always believed as he was never heard of afterwards and was surposed he died there. There were three children of Jonathan and Mary viz Sybil, Nabby and Samuel. Sybil came to live at my fathers soon after the news of her fathers death and made it her home there untill her marriage with Joel Adams she now resides in Athol. Nabby resides in Westminster in this state. Samuel died a few years since as to their being the children of Jonathan and Mary Stone I have no doubt as I have known them from childhood Nathan Stone

State of Pennsylvania, Franklin Co., dated 20th day of May,A.D. 1844.  At this time she was a resident of Horse Valley, Letterkenny Twp, Franklin Co.  She was 87 years old   "said William John was a private soldier in the Revolutionary War--the said William John her husband to the best of her knowledge first enlisted in the service of the Continental Congress in the year 1776, in Chester County in the state of Pennsylvania, under Capt. Patterson and Major Montgomery--he served one year or upwards and was regularly discharged.  The said William John again enlisted at the said county of Chester in the year 1778 under Capt. Samuel Dean, in the service of the United States and served till the end of the war when he was regularly discharged.  The said declarant Isabella John believes the first discharge of her said husband was consumed with their h ouse and all their effects, the same having been burnt by the British at Chester County between the times of his said two terms of service; her said husband was lying at their home after his return from his first term of service with the camp fever, when a company of the British coming into view, th is declarant assisted him to the woods, from whence they saw the destruction of their house as afore said.  The second discharge of said declarants husband was lost, as she supposes in moving after the war. This declarant says she has heard her husband say that he was in the battles of Trenton, White Plains, Brandywine and was wounded in the cheek at Long Island.  That he marchedmarched when out in the service at the times of his several enlistments through Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania and to the north to Quebeck.  The said declarant says that she h as no documentary evidence whatever to show her said husband's service, or in support of her claim, except the certificate of her marriage--the said declarant says her maiden name was Isabel Campbell and she was married to William John on the 13th day of September in the year of our Lord 1774, by the Rev. william Curry in Chester County aforesaid.  That her husband the aforesaid William John died in Horse Valley, in Franklin County, Pa. on the seventh day of October in the year 1826 and that she has resided there ever since."   Hope you enjoy this....it gave me gooseflesh when I first read it and still does!

I am the webmaster for the Chester County PaGenWeb site and am in the process of a majoy re-do of the site. I am thinking of adding a pageof helpful links for those who will be traveling to Chester County to do research. These could include sources for documents (though we have a lot of those listed already), historic sites to visit, places to stay or eat - especially those which are historic themselves.Although I grew up in Chester and lived in the area until I was in my mid 20s, I have been away for many years and so could use some ideas fromthose who still live there or have visited there more recently than the mid 70s which is when I moved to western Pennsylvania and then on the West Virginia and Ohio.Please post to the list so everyone can use the information.Thanks,Jane Unger

I was very curious as to the tie in with my GG Grandfather, Benjamin Frick Bertolet, so I looked it up in the Bertolet book, and this is what is written; Susanna Bertolet, second daughter of Benjamin F. and Johanna G. Bertolet, was born Oct. 17th, 1841, at Pughtown, Pa. On December 24th, 1867, she was married to Washington I. Buffington. He was born Sept. 25, 1844, at Guthrieville, Pa. Their children; Mary P.D.Buffington, born April 4, 1871 Irvanna Buffington, born Sept. 25, 1873; died May 1 1874. Mary P.D. Bufington, oldest daughter of Susanna B. and Washington I. Buffington, was born April 4, 1871, at Kimberton, Pa. On August 19, 1896, she was married to John H. Blondin. He was born December 5, 1865, at West Vincent, Chester County, Pa. No Issue. Hope this helps in some small way.? Yvonne

I'm sure you know that Del Co was formed in around 1786 or so from Chester Co, and has had separate records since that time,,,so Benj probably lived his adult life not in Chester, but Delaware Co. His will was in Del. Co probate, and I'm including an abstract, in case you don't have it; I also looked for Benjamin in an earlier will, hopefully that of a parent, but no luck in any of the area counties, including Bucks, Berks, Chester, Del, Lanc & Phil Cos. I also looked for Mary Lincoln or Mary Evans mentioned in the will of a parent, but no luck. As Benj was married in Phil. Co, have you looked there for them? EVANS, BENJAMIN, U. Providence.March 22, 1820 - August 25, 1834.Wife Mary, children: Joseph, Mary, Ann, Nathan, Peter and Jacob EVANS.Exrs: Wife Mary and son Joseph EVANS.Wits: Thomas HAWS and John MILLER. #847. I'm sure you know that Evan/Evans is a fairly common area name, and there are lots of them around. I checked the 1765 Chester Archives and there are around 50... I looked and while many are in traditionally Welsh areas....Radnor, Tradyffrin, Uwchlan, there are none in Providence.....I'm assuming that you know Evan/Evans were probably Welsh. There are literally hundreds of them in the index of THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY, by F.& C. Sandra " looking for help locating parents of Benjamin Evans,my ggg grandfather.He was born abt 1751.he married Mary Lincoln in kingsessing,pa 9 july 1786. they farmed in upper providence pa from abt 1790 until he died in 1834..."

Hi Sandra, Thanks for posting these.... is there any record of the very early folks who came down from Chester & Bucks Co. with Morgan Bryan 1730-1745 or so.... I saw only one that early on this particular list and I know my ancestors came down to Hopewell (what is now the Winchester area) in Old Frederick Co. VA with the groups of very early settlers - largely Welsh Quakers and some Welsh Baptists but also others from that area of PA in and around Philadelphia.... just wondered if there was a list somewhere of those very early folks I could access...... thanks!

Looking at the 1860 you have your man with $1000- in property and listed as a farm Labourer, I think you need to inquire of the Chester County archives about a will with him as heir. Also how sure are you of Sarahs maiden name? I get NO Pikerton in Pennsylvania anytime, but would you buy Pinkerton?? Which suddenly I thought must be the name, I am still having trouble finding her in 1850 unless she is using Elizabeth but I will try with these parents names. http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2654376&id=I048 # # Name: Sarah Elizabeth PINKERTON # Sex: F # Birth: 9 JUL 1834 # Death: 5 SEP 1916 Father: David PINKERTON b: 26 SEP 1801 Mother: Eliza STANFORD b: 31 JAN 1809 in Meadville, PA Marriage 1 Ermounteen BLONDIN b: 25 FEB 1829 Children 1.
