SETTLEMENT OF DARBY TOWNSHIP. The settlers in this township were mostly from the English counties of Derby and Leicester, with a few from Nottingham, and appear to have been of a high order of respectability and intelligence. They kept the best township record known to the writer, and the following extracts copied from notes collected by the late Dr. George Smith, of Upper Darby, author of the History of Delaware County, 1862, are of much interest to genealogists [Title page.] "UPPER DARBY RECORDS. "Transcribed from the old Record Book since the Division in the year 1786: "Containing an account of the first adventurers from old England, with an account of all the settlements in this township-in what year they were settled and in whose occupation they are in at this present time. [Several other matters enumerated.] "The Originall Record of the Township of Darby in the County of Chester and Province of Pennsylvania as it was settled by the English under William Penn Esquire, Proprietor and Governor in Chief of the said Province in the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred and eighty-two:giving an account when each settlement was begun for the better regulating the inhabitants in serving the respective offices of said township as constables, overseers of the Poor, Supervisors, &c., &c. "The following are the names of the first adventurers from Old England who settled in the Township of Darby, viz." Samuel Bradshaw and Thomas Worth came from Oxton in the County of Nottingham.

It may be stated that not only is the original book lost, but in recent years the copy made for Upper Darby has been lost or secreted. visit"The George Smedley Homepage" http://smedley.lewis.home.att.net additional photos at http://smedley.george.home.att.net

I believe the Library of Congress participates in interlibrary loans, and their card catalog is online, so check that out.......if you plan to visit DC...and, do so if you can...it's fabulous), be sure to go through the online catalog and make a list of the titles of any books you think you may want to see, along with the identifying #s for that book. The LOC stacks are not open to the public, so you must 'request' books to be brought to you, by filling out a form for each one - then, if memory serves, they will bring you 10/hour. It saves a lot of valuable time if you already have the titles with other info done when you get there....then you need to only fill out the forms, rather than wade through the computer files for likely titles. Be sure to take a photo ID with you, as you will be required to have an ID made to use the LOC, and a photo id is necessary.....leave your notebooks, purse, backpack, etc at the hotel, as you can't take them in with you....just a few pieces of paper with the necessary info for requesting books. (I always have a small wallet that I can keep money, ID and change in, that will fit into my pocket. When I go, I visit the evening before I wish to research there - be sure to check the hours for they change with the seasons - that evening I submit my first 10 titles, and when I go in the AM, those books will have been pulled overnight and are waiting for me. Then, submit the next 10 slips immediately...thus, no time is wasted just sitting, waiting for the next 10. I would suggest, on your first trip, that you go the evening before and also have your ID made...less people that way....and, then submit your first 10 titles, and you'll be all ready to go the next AM. I also love the DAR library....if you are a member, there is no charge, and just a minimal one if you're not....maybe $4.00 a visit.... they have a huge # of biographies,shelved in one section, while everything else is shelved by county and state, making it easy to find things. The stacks are open, so you can wander....it's a great place to research and the folks there are helpful. I prefer these 2 libraries to Archives - I always seem to find more at them.

Hello, I have an ancestor that is shown to have been born at Doe Run in 1825. His father was a minister of the Church of God. Does anyone know of anyplace that might have a record of birth of siblings that may have been born in the same area. I haven't been able to find any churches with that name. His birth place was listed in his military papers. His name was John McLane JOHNSTON. Thanks, Rene'

So to add to Kathie's ..................! Oh, my yes!!! I did so at the FHC in Lake Havasu City, AZ, when we wintered there. At that time, I was working on my Mendenhalls & Moores. Some of my genealogy classes were actually at the FHC for excerises in Fische as a genealogy tool.. So, if you are in a hurry to get it before your trip to Salt Lake City, then go to your local FHC.

Thank you very much Sandra. Milly

Thank you very much Sandra. Milly

This wasn't actually a meeting house....it was, instead, a group of Methodists that met in the Washington School house. Methodists of the time just didn't have churches, per se.....most met in, as described earlier, a barn, a group of pine trees on the back of someone's farm, and, in this case, a local school. This said, I can tell you that Doe Run is very close to East Fallowfield, on today's map. Futhey and Cope say that the Washington School was located "in the woods southeast of the position of the present church building.".....(this was written in 1889). This school was built on the land of Jacob Myers, members of the Lutheran Church." Sandra I wonder if this Washington Meeting House is located in East Fallowfield Twp., Chester Co., PA? If you recall a few weeks ago I was looking for the exact location of Modes School house and Washington Meeting house in East Fallowfield. I found these two names in a deed of Joseph Foose, John Allison, John Lilley and Joshua Ledum. The deed is dated the 31st day of March 1853. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Alban Hooke was a local preacher who belonged to the society then called Batten's, later Hopewell, and was the first MEthodist preacher in this locality." (Marshallton (west Bradford,Twp). He had 3 appointments in the neighborhood; MOses P Hiddlesson's barn; in a pine grove on Isaac Carpenter's property...... and in a chestnut grove on the back of and immediately west of the Maris Woodward dwelling. (this is pre 1828) "the Rev Alban Hooke was the father of Methodism through this neighborhood (Unionville, East marlborough twp), and lived for several years in Londongrove twp." (this would have been on the Chester Circuit) from a lookup in Futhey and Cope "The society worshiped originally in the Washington School-house, an old building. As early as 1819 a Methodist meeting was held there, at which Rev. Alban Hooke preached." Feb 26m 1819....A. Hooke left Gen.,Steel's to attend quarterly meeting at Mt Hope M.E. Church (Del. Co, PA). The snow drifts resisted his course and compelled him to turn back. He remained all night with a Mr Kenneday, near Doe Run, from whom he borrowed a horse. In the course of conversaiton if there was an opening for preaching in the neignborhood..." this was when the application was made, and later accepted, for preaching in the Washington school-house -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Thanks to all who answered my Tacy question. Some years back, I got a letter from a 90 something year old relative who told me her name (Tacy's name) was Teasy. Took me a few years to realize that she meant Tacy. The strange thing is, these people were from Scotland, with no connection to Wales. By the way, I sent away for a death certificate for a Tacy Twining, thinking that she might be related in some way. Her father's name is listed as Edward Zoll or Zolli. The mother was Mae Wetherill. If this belongs to anyone on the list, please let me know and I'll send it to you. She was born 7/30/1896. Lorraine

Joe........ Here is all of his will abstract. The Vanderslice book says that Tacy died 6/18/1807 before he did. It does not say he remarried.

In one section he says Thomas Vanderslice, Jr died single in 3/24/1843, and in another 3/24/1848. I am inclined now, after seeing the above cemetery info and Thomas Jr's 'rap sheets', to say that Thomas Vanderslice Jr, the bad boy.......who fell off the dock, is his son, and did die in 3/24/1848! An interesting other item is his brother, Marcus VANDERSLICE, who also died single per the Vanderslice book. (Dates are c1794-3/12/1827). He also stepped across the line into criminal activity! In the Penn Archives, Series 9, Vol 1 p 5519......"A pardon was granted to Marcus Vanderslice, convicted of adultery, assault and battery on 2 indictments and sentenced on 1/1/1821 in Philadelphia Court to prison for 1 yr and 9 mos and to pay 2 fines, $50 and 50pounds for court costs." Now I wonder, can a single person be convicted of adultery? I thought adultery was for married folks! But further........on page 108 of the Vandeslice book, records from churches, is shown: At St John's Evangelical Lutheran in Phila....marriages: Marcus Vanderslice to Mary Ann GETMAN by Rev. P F Mayer on . So it seems he was indeed married to commit adultery! And did not die single, although maybe his wife left him after being sent to prison! Hopefully, no children! OK - Thank you Mal and all for the added info! This family is beginning to fall into place! To respond to a question about JONES and Vanderslice: In the Vanderslice book (you can view all of it, and print, on Ancestry under Families and Local Histories if you have that subscription), page 117: Extract from Journal of Rev. Henry Melchoir Muhlenberg, Aug Luth, Trappe: October 30, 1751, baptized Anton Vander Sluis. Nov 1751, den its Anton Vander Sluis begraben (his death) Monday, 8/12/1775, baptized a child of John Van der sluice, named Reinhart. Born 10/30/1774. Sponsors were the mother in person, the wife of Jacob Reiss, and the wife of Peter Becker. The father is absent in camp. In the afternoon (no date) I married Cadwallader JONES and Maria, dau of Reinhart Vander Sluiss, of New Providence. Cadwallader JONES and Vander Sluiss gave a harmless bond.) Too bad whoever found this entry didn't observe the entry directly above this last one re the marriage, as it probably had a year for an earlier event on the same day. Maybe someone has copies of Rev. Muhlenberg's journal?

Dear Barclay Richards, In your reserching the Richardson line, have you discovered the parents and place of origin of Ann Jones, wife of Edward Richardson, who were the parents of Joseph Richardson, husband of Mary Massey? Ann Jones has become my foremost puzzle among several Richardson puzzles. I would be happy to exchange with you the information I have found on the Richardsons in general.

The name Tacy has me floored. I have a Tacy Lindsay, who was born in Scotland in the 1860's and later moved to Montgomery County. We've been trying to figure out where that name came from. The name Tacy was passed down a few generations, then just went away. Does anyone know the origin of this name? Lorraine
