I am seeking information about the Edward Dawson whose birth is listed in LDS records as 1755 in Chester County. LDS lists his death as 28 August 1833 in Shelby, Tippecanoe, Indiana. I would like to verify this information and learn more about his family. Thanks so much for any help. Natalie ndburrows@verizon.net

I am seeking information about DAVID THOMAS whose death is listed in Philadelphia County in a will signed June 29, 1717, proved August 6, 1718. The will names wife Mary and children: Thomas, Richard David, Samson David, John David, Catherine, Anne (Evans), Gwen and Mary. Witnesses are Griffith and William Jones. The sons and descendants of David Thomas took the surname DAVID/DAVIS. Early records place this family in Chester County. Thanks for any help. Natalie ndburrows@verizon.net

Inquiry: Searching for Adam Andrew (possibly MacAndrew or possibly Andre) born in Chester County, PA - Feb. 12, 1760 - possibly Pikeland Twp. I have his descendents, but am searching for his parents names, his nationality and his siblings names. His wife was Catherine (unknown) and their first children were baptized in East Vincent Reformed Church starting in 1784. I have his Rev. War records.

Here is some information from "The History of Chester CountyPennsylvania by Futhey and Cope...."George Pharoah (white) a youth of about nineteen years of age, and nephew of Jabes Boyd, was tried at January Sessions, 1861, before Hon. Henry Chapman and associates, Nimrod Strickland and Samuel Shafer for the murder of Rachel Sharpless, a school-teacher, at Rocky Hill, in East Goshen township. The prosecution was conducted by District Attorney Paschall Woodward, Esq., and the defense by William Butler and Joseph J. Lewis, Esqrs. The jury were George P. McFarlan, John Ewing, Joseph B. Pennypacker, Samuel Pennington, Thomas Humes, Thomas Elwell, Addis M. Ayars, Jacob Chrisman, Walker Yarnall, Reuben Chalfant, John Vanderslice, and Levis H. James. The defendant was sentenced Feb. 12, 1851, and executed by Davis Bishop, sheriff, Friday, Aug. 29th of the same year." page 409. I do not know which Rachel Sharpless this was. As far as how Thomas S.Woodward made his fortune, it may have something to do with the changes in the agricultural aspects during this period of time. It is mentioned in the above book on pg 337 that the first domestic animals were introduced into the colonies about 1634 and it is believed the horse was the first in the county to receive special care in breeding. Samuel Holman, of Chester Springs, by his importation of Norman horses in 1861 and John J. Parker, of West Goshen, by his introduction of the Percheron stock in 1869 were mentioned. Also mentioned was that little had been done towards improving teh breeds of cattle until the beginning of the present century, and about 1818 some grade Durhams were brought into East Bradford from Kentucky, and after this Joseph Kersey, of D owningtown, owned a half-blood bull, "Oakes," which he sold in 1824 to Thomas S. Woodward and others.Joseph Cope of East Bradford, procured in England in 1839 a cow, "Donna Maria," and a yearling calf, "Yorkshireman," from Thomas B ates of Kirkleavington. From this importation some of the herd-book animals of thei county are descended. T he Holstein cattle were introduced soon after the Durhams, but were not as popular. " Looks to me like he may have made his fortune from his cattle business.

He was quite active in politics, having been a Federalist and Whig. He died Feb. 22, 1854, in the seventy-fourth year of his age. He was a man of an enlarged and liberal mind, or generous and humane feelings. He was ever foremost in promoting measures for the public good, and ready at all times to give bountifully to objects of love and mercy. His amiable disposition secured him the universal esteem of his neighborhood and of all who knew him.

Hello, I recently found a will in the Chester Co. Will Extract book that included some of my family and I wonder if anyone can shed some light on the other people & their relationships mentioned in the will? It reads like this: Stephen David, Tredyffrin, yeoman July 12, 1749 Oct 21, 1749 C. 165 Provides for wife Hannah, inc. disposal of all est. until son David is 21 when he is to have possession of the real estate on which I live. To eldest dau Ann $40 (crossed out) $80 (added in). To dau Mary $80 when she is 20. To son Samuel $80 at 21. To dau Hannah $70 at 21. To wife Hannah all tenements &c. in Wilmington. Exrs: wife and son David Witnesses Elizabeth Anderson, Enoch Walker, Henry Atherton I am trying to determine if this Elizabeth is the wife of James Anderson. No one has any info on her or James after 1741. Enoch Walker is Elizabeth Jerman Anderson's brother-in-law. That's what makes me think (hope) this is "my" Elizabeth Anderson. There are other wills with the name James Anderson on them, too, but those I have no way of really knowing which James Anderson these are. Perhaps if I can determine the other relationships of the people named in this will I'll have a better guess at who this Elizabeth really is. Thanks for any help, Laura

<blush> Whoops, posted that to the wrong list, though the family does have some interesting Chester ties. The recommendations on The Digital Quaker Collection are probably worth sharing anyway, even though I think I have suggested this before.

I recommend anyone with early Quaker ancestry search the Digital Quaker Collection at www.Earlham.edu. DQC is a digital library containing full text and page images of over 500 individual Quaker works from the 17th and 18th centuries. The link is http://esr.earlham.edu/dqc/ but I find the fastest way to find it again is to search on the term "digital quaker" in Google.com. Also, for me today the searchs are slow and timing out. Sending this email will probably compound that problem if it is due to a busy server or limited number of sessions allowed, so try later if you have problems accessing this. The search engine also gets confusing results from full names unless you use quotes, so a search on John Rumford may find every reference to a John in the book. I recommend using surnames only then skimming the results and refining your searches. Also look for common variations on spelling and search on those too. For more on searching and using the collection see: http://esr.earlham.edu/dqc/instruct.html. It's a treasure chest of reference books. Searching the Digital Quaker for Rumford references finds a citation in the book "Collection of the sufferings of the people called Quakers (Volume 1)" There are two volumes of detailed accounts of harrasment of Quakers, by region, in the 1600s. It's an incredible resource. The way the site works you can't directly link to a book or page from one. It can be difficult to match up the names in this book to ancestral immigrants conclusively, but it's still a great source of info on possible leads to where families migrated from. It also covers early New England and Quaker stories just about anywhere they were found or known to be harrassed. The accounts of suffering, imprisonment and deaths are quite amazing in putting a perspective on why our Quaker ancestors sought refuge in Pennsylvania. They show the scope, quantity and details of these sufferings in a way no other history book I've seen has covered - women imprisoned with children, stonings, deaths in prison, and much more. Months in prison for putting a church bell on a building. To say the Quakers were treated harshly is an understatement. Also there are many accounts of families surnames being sent off to Jamaica and Barbadoes. On the same page as a John Rumford's imprisonment (below) are accounts in the 1660s such as "...Thomas Yoole and Roger Hudson were sentenced to be transported to Barbadoes." "...Edward Lampson of Bishops-Aukland, William Heavyside, Anthony Hodgson, and Emanuel Grice, were sentenced for Transportation to Barbadoes. "...Richard Errington and John Ushaw received Sentence of Banishment to Barbadoes, and to continue in the House of Correction till an Opportunity of shipping them. During their close Confinement Richard Errington was taken sick, and his Friends were denied the Favour of removing him, so that the poor Man, after about two and twenty Months close Restraint, died a Prisoner for worshipping God according to his Conscience. John Ushaw was detained in Prison about three Years, probably till the Expiration of that Act." The John Rumford search finds this: CHAP. XIII. DURHAM and NORTHUMBERLAND. "On the 3d of November, Ellinor Grainger, Elizabeth Wilson, Anne Card, William Hewett, William Heron, John Rumford, Henry Middleton, and William Hodgson, taken at a Meeting the Day before, were by the Justices, Bassire and Jenkins, committed to the House of Correction in Durham to be kept to hard Labour, and were detained there about ten Weeks, till the Sessions, at which they were dismist with Threats, and charged to come at no more Conventicles. George Swallow was also imprisoned about the same Time. There were also about that Time in Prison, Lionel Johnson, Isaac Robinson, Samuel Freeman, Robert Askew, and Philip Simson." There is also a Thomas Rumford referenced in some accounts there too.

Did you get the information on the law suit from the actual records? If not, have you tried to actually find the court records from that timeframe. I haven't done so, but do know that earlier ones are even in print, so I wonder if the later years are too? Have you checked the CCHS holdings to see what they have.....how about Records and Archives? Both have online sites and email addresses. S. " I'm actually seeking information on a Joel DAVIS 1784-1836. According to the court records during the years 1825-26 Joel was sued by John MALIN and lost three parcels of land located in East Goshen and East Whiteland. I'm wondering why the suit was brought and what was the profession of John MALIN." -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Hi Mal, I believe in one of your earlier messages you stated that yoou were interested in a Graham family of Chester County. I have been trying to sort out the families with a modicum of sucess for the one I am descended from: James (1700-1783) and Mary c 1705-1811) Graham. They are buried in the Old Pequea Church graveyard in Salisbury township of Lancaster County - close to HoneyBrook in Chester County. Many of their descendants are buried near to them. I have transcribed and posted their Wills as well as those of James' sister Jennet McConnaughy and his own daughter Mary Darlington. Many pre WWII HoneyBrook families could trace back to this couple - perhaps the same is true today. Jennet McConnaughy names as brothers: James, Arthur, and Jared. I do not know whether Jarrett/Jared Graham of Lancaster County is the Jared named by Jennet as brother -- his age and arrival in the area do seem to point in that direction.

Richard and others, I'm actually seeking information on a Joel DAVIS 1784-1836. According to the court records during the years 1825-26 Joel was sued by John MALIN and lost three parcels of land located in East Goshen and East Whiteland. I'm wondering why the suit was brought and what was the profession of John MALIN. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Huey" <richardhuey@comcast.net> To: <PA-OLD-CHESTER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 12, 2006 7:12 PM Subject: Re: [PaOldC] MALIN family from Goshen, Chester Co., 1820-1830 >I have a skelton pedigree for a line descending from Randall MALIN in >Whiteland and Goshen Townships.
