Dear S O B, The 1850 City Directory shows my gggf Claudius McCutcheon at 84 Pike Street and ggf James a clerk at Walnut & Pike. The 1850 census shows them in the 5th Ward.

Yes, I know of one family. I have to find the email address & will send it to you. This family came from Wales originally.

Doris, The 5th ward of PITTSBURGH was in the area of the HIll district. How's everything? S.O.B

You're so right about the 5th ward (Strip District). I'll bet your GGGrandfather knew my GGGGrandfather, James Owens, at 104 Pike Street! (Bet they all attended nearby St. Patrick's Church together.)

Doris, Prepare for a battle between OLD Man Lenkner and 'That Pup' McCutcheon !!!! According to the 1867 City Directory, Mulberry Alley, which still exists, ran from, what is now 11th Street to 33rd Street through what is now referred to as the "strip", through the 5th and 9th wards. Sometime after 1867 and before 1877 the wards were changed. the 'strip' became the 12th ward and the 5th ward was moved to the lower hill district (I think !!!)

Many thanks Darlene. This is the first clue I've had in many years research of Reichert's in Beaver Co.in 1830. My g-grandmother was a Reichert, married 1830 to William Edwards, who I believe son of John. I have a number of Beaver history books, if I can ever help please let me know. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darlene Parsons" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2004 4:54 PM Subject: Re: [PITTSBURGH] Fw: Access to Ancestry.com ? > Carol, > > John Reichert 1830 census Economy Twp., Beaver Co., PA > Males: > 20-30 years =1 > 40-50 years =1 > Females: > 20-30 years =1 > 40-50 years =1 > > 1820 Census > > Jos Edwards Big Beaver Twp., Beaver Co., PA > > Males: > under 10 years =1 > over 45 years =1 > > Females: > under 10 years =3 > 10-15 years =1 > 26-44 years =1 > > Henry Edwards New Sewickley Twp., Beaver Co., PA > Males: > 16-25 years =2 > 26-44 years =1 > > Females: > under 10 years =2 > 16-25 years =1 > > John Edwards New Sewickley Twp., Beaver Co., PA > Males: > 10-15 years =1 > 16-18 years =1 > 16-25 years =2 > over 45 years =1 > > Females: > under 10 years =2 > 10-15 years =1 > over 45 years =1 > > Hope this helps, > Darlene > > > ==== PA-PITTSBURGH Mailing List ==== > How to unsubscribe.

Rich, Do you realize that out of all the times I have posted queries on this list you are the only one that has answered. And even though it was just to post YOUR query, I thank you. I was getting paranoid. Alice

Anyone have WOODs from Pennsylvania? I am looking for any I have in my possession a copy of the book "History and Genealogy of the descendants of Abinah Wood and Susannah Humphreys" published in 1909. It lists a number of descendants of Abinah Belford WOOD (born 07 July 1777 in Hopewell, Cumberland County, New Jersey - died 23 September 1852 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) and Susannah HUMPHREYS (born 12 January 1783 in either Maryland or New Jersey - died 16 April 1856 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania). Most of their descendants lived in the Pittsburgh area, and a number of these are buried in Hargey's Graveyard, Highwood Cemetery, and Uniondale Cemetery, all of Pittsburgh. I'm looking for any connections to others who may be researching this line. THANKS!

It is also imperative for researchers to get the land records of the land that was probated in Allegheney County. You would be amazed how much family information are in those deeds if the property went to a relative...information such as "Mrs. Shade NOW Stowater," or "Mrs. Shade wife of deceased son" etc. Wills are just the beginning of research, not the end.
