Bryan, You should see the pie that Linda's making for the firehouse for tomorrow night. It takes over a day because it has 3 different layers and has to be refrigerated a minimum of 4 hours for each layer, so that they can set up. The doggone thing is at least 3 inches high. The topping is whipped cream, powdered sugar and ............ (old age, I forgot what she said, as I was tasting it)!!

This message may come across twice, so please excuse me if it does - Good morning List !!! I have been enjoying your numerous comments over the past month or two - I am seeking additional information on family of John Moss. An old obituary, John Moss was born at Charters Creek, Alleghany county, Pa on April 16, 1833. He married Sarah Graham at Charters Creek, Pa March 15 1855. They moved to Malvern Ohio in 1858. I believe they had a son James Graham Moss born in Pittsburgh Jan 20 1856. I am seeking information on either family or siblings. I use to live in West Mifflin, and thought perhaps the reference to Charters Creek could have been about Chartiers but its only a guess. Perhaps there was a Charters Creek around 1833. If so, can anyone provide any help - Thanks

Hi Carol, I may have confused Chartiers Borough with Chartiers Township. The sectiion of Pittsburgh that I had in mind is now known as Elliott and is part of the City of Pittsburgh. The West End Section was known as Temperanceville back in the 1800s. I typed 'Walker's Mill' in the search line and there is a town by that name in Pennsylvania. When I tried expediamaps.com, it asked for more in- formation and suggested that Walker's Mill might be part of a larger city. I had friends in Mt. Lebanon and I lived in Crafton. From there, I remember going through Greentree, across Mansfield Road to Green- tree Road, then taking Carnaham Road to Banksville Road. It has been 23 years since I moved from there. The roads might be different today. Anyway, I do hope you find what you are looking for. If I can be of any help, please don't hesitate to ask me.

Additional information, I have. references to marriage license state John and Sarah Moss were both from Charters Creek, Pa. and married by Rev. McPherson with Miss McPherson as a witness on March 15, 1855 at Mansfield, Pa. Not sure where Manfield is or if Charters Creek is possibly near there

Good morning list!!!! - I enjoy viewing you comments and certainly miss the local area. I am looking for information on John Moss. According to copy of old obituary, he was born at Charters Creek, Alleghany County, Pa April 16, 1833. He was married to Sarah Graham at Charters Creek, Pa. March 15, 1855. Left Charters Creek, Pa in 1858. I am trying to identify parents and siblings, either side. Seeking any information to verify he was here. I use to live in West Mifflin and thought when I read this Obit that perhaps Charters Creek was Chartiers as I had never heard of Charters Creek, but that doesn't mean it didn't exist in 1833. Can anyone provide any help?

Thanks Carol, that's were I started this summer. Got some info, but my Risinger clan and their descendents seem to rather illusive. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll go back and look again since this in new info for me.

My Irish ancestors lived in Chartiers Township back in 1860s and 1870s. I know where Chartiers Creek is. It starts in Washington County, winds it way through Birdgeville, Carnegie, Crafton, and dinally empties into the Ohio River. It is possible that Chartiers Township and Creek are the same place. and there is a Manfield Avenue in Greentree. This isn't much to go on but it might be another step in the right direction. Incidentally, I moved away from there 23 years ago and I know there have been many changes since.
