    1. Re: [PaOldC] ship list
    2. Would these be friends, neighbors? It does not give the ship, but does give their origin. Some of these appear to be men you listed before. http://www.myroots.faithweb.com/DARBYTOWNSHIP.htm This appears to be part of a web site of Eleanor J. Sibbert. Many dates are missing and she also states that "not only is the original book lost, but in recent years the copy made for Upper Darby has been lost or secreted." Ancestry has the following information which might list the actual ship. I take these to my local library and they either find them for me or get interlibrary loans which allows me weeks to view them. Good luck!
