This is actually in response to Sandra's e-mail about putting a name and date in the subject line. I agree with Sandra and the unknown researcher that the subject line is very important! Think of it as being much like fishing.....try to put bait on the line that makes as many people want to open your message as possible. Also make the subject be something that someone browsing the internet or archives to look at your message one more time. While I agree with Sandra's full name and date, you might think about Elliott in W. Nottingham and Sadsbury c. 1732. This might appeal to someone who is researching another family in this time and place in the same time period....or someone who is looking at another person in your Elliott line. After I wrote this message, I decided that I didn't really know if the places that I name were part of Old Chester County, so I did a bit of googling on-line an found the following map: http://chester.pa-roots.com/maps/ch1780.jpg I have put it on my blog this morning: http://www.marshamoses.blogspot.com I hope to add information as time permits to this new blog which can always be found on my blog with date January 1, 2013. marsha moses

On the Tax List of East Marlborough Township (1753): Chester County, PA, there is a group named as inmates. Are these actual inmates as in a jail or is there other meaning for that word? Thanks very much! Judy Oklahoma City

After my afternoon IPad debacle, I received an email from a member who mentioned that she belongs to so many lists she only reads the posts with subjects that "catch her eye". We've discussed in the past the importance of what we use as a subject and this just underscores that importance. I personally believe, when possible, a full name and a date are the best. Second to that a specific event or place would be good... Anything that is as specific as you can get it. The idea, after all, is to get folks to read your post and the best way to do that is to tell them exactly what it's about. Have a safe and Happy New Year and make a resolution to post what it is you wish to find. Give your fellow members a chance to dig out those books and CDs and see what they can find....

From: http://www.udel.edu/aboutus/history.html One of the oldest universities in the U.S., the University of Delaware traces its roots to 1743 when a petition by the Presbytery of Lewes, Del., expressing the need for an educated clergy, led the Rev. Dr. Francis Alison to open a school in New London, Pa. On Nov. 24, 1743, Benjamin Franklin's *Pennsylvania Gazette *carried this notice: *We are informed that there is a Free-School opened at the House of Mr. Alison in Chester County, for the Promotion of Learning, where all Persons may be instructed in the Languages and some other Parts of Polite Literature, without any Expences for their Education.* Alison's first class was "possibly the most distinguished in terms of the later achievements of its members, taken as a whole, of any class in any school in America," wrote historian John Munroe in *The University of Delaware: A History.* <http://www.udel.edu/PR/munroe/> The students would go on to become statesmen, doctors, merchants and scholars. Of special note, Thomas McKean, George Read and James Smith would sign the Declaration of Independence; Read also would sign the U.S. Constitution. By 1765, Alison's school had relocated to Newark, Delaware, where it received a charter as the Academy of Newark from Thomas and Richard Penn in 1769. NewArk College opened as a degree-granting institution in 1834 and was renamed Delaware College in 1843. A *Women's College*<http://www.udel.edu/PR/hoffecker/foreword.html>opened in 1914 with 58 students, and in 1921, the two coordinate colleges became the University of Delaware.

This scene is described by Peter Kalm, a Swede who visited Philadelphia in 1749. On Christmas Day he wrote: "Nowhere was Christmas Day celebrated with more solemnity than in the Roman Church. Three sermons were preached there, and that which contributed most to the splendor of the ceremony was the beautiful music heard to-day. . . . Pews and altar were decorated with branches of mountain laurel, whose leaves are green in winter time and resemble the (cherry laurel). Lavender, rose petals, and pungent herbs such as rosemary and bay were scattered throughout the churches, providing a pleasant holiday scent. Scented flowers and herbs were chosen partially because they were aromatic and thus were considered an alternative form of incense. The Reverend George Herbert, an Anglican clergyman from Maryland, urged "that the church be swept, and kept clean without dust, or cobwebs, and at great festivals strewed, and stuck with boughs, and perfumed with incense." Peter Kalm noted that the Quakers completely dismissed the celebration of Christmas in Philadelphia. He made another interesting observation about the Presbyterians as well. He wrote in his diary: "Christmas Day. . . .The Quakers did not regard this day any more remarkable than other days. Stores were open, and anyone might sell or purchase what he wanted. . . .There was no more baking of bread for the Christmas festival than for other days; and no Christmas porridge on Christmas Eve! One did not seem to know what it meant to wish anyone a merry Christmas. . . .First the Presbyterians did not care much for celebrating Christmas, but when they saw most of their members going to the English church on that day, they also started to have services." Hope you've had a wonderful holiday, folks. Sandra

Jane Roan, daughter of Rev. John and Anne Roan, married William Clingan on June 11, 1778. Their marriage is renowned for its statement against slavery and is a favorite story of mine.

Is it possible that this name is also spelled "CHARLES." I have a Sabina Charles (c.1810-1881), daughter of Abraham Charles (abt 1770-1835) of Broadfording, Washington Co., MD, who married into a Dunker family outside Welsh Run, Franklin Co, PA in the 1830s. Her father is buried at the Broadfording Brethren Cemetery. I've never been able to trace Abraham Charles, but the major suspect locations are Lancaster and Chester Counties, PA, and Washington and Frederick Counties, MD. If you have anyone who might possibly fit, I would love to hear about them.
