Hello, I have been inactive on this list for quite sometime. I agree Sandra is a good list administrator and I am sorry to hear of her health issues. I trust she is doing what she needs to do to take care of herself. I do hope she is able to get back to responding to list posts. I think most of us understand the other issues that have come up, list members rudeness, Sandra's not sugar coated honesty and other misunderstandings. Some of us have differing opinions. So be it. I think what Sandra would say is, this list is for research assistance, sharing of knowledge and comradery on the subject of the peoples and history of Old Chester County! So lets get on with what Sandra taught us about, Genealogy. Any brick walls?? Sincerely, Peggie Shaw
Yes, I have a brick wall. I have a William Crye who was born 1752 in the IOM and came with his family to Chester Co. PA and grew up. He moved sometime befiore 1775 to Mecklinburg Co. NC where he married and served in the Rev. War. Info on where he was raised came from his Rev. War papers. I have searched, had people search, and querried for years regarding this William Crye. His father was John. The Rev. War papers state he lived on a farm. I find nothing to place them in Chester Co. PA. I have thought about the county line thing and have looked in Lancaster, Deleware, ect,. but continue to find nothing. Have even thought with the Irish brogue possibly the name might have been pronounced and spelled Craigh, but again, find nothing. William was one of the older children of a family of 7, and I continue to find nothing on this Crye name. 1775 forward I have them traced, 1775 backward is a road block. Where are suggestions to look? I could use a Christmas break here. ha ag ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peggie Shaw" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 10:18 AM Subject: [PaOldC] list administrator thread > > Hello, I have been inactive on this list for quite sometime.

It looks like the farm in Chester County may have been in Birmingham Twp. http://books.google.com/books?id=rRUUAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA657&lpg=PA657&dq=%22john+ crye%22%22chester+county%22&source=bl&ots=bZwjEdE-Mn&sig=L6cVLlcUVMljdHLc3y9 lcwghJpU&hl=en&ei=Ra8qS9-UDc6m8Aai_qWPBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnu m=6&ved=0CBwQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=%22john%20crye%22%22chester%20county%22&f=fa lse Donna -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gma Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 1:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [PaOldC] brick Wall Crye Yes, I have a brick wall.
