Could someone with access to the 1830 and 1840 census for Franklin Twp., York Co. (and maybe Latimore Twp., Adams Co.), please see if they can find an Abraham Lerew/Larew listed. I am trying to determine if Abraham and his wife Rebecca had any more than three children. Thank you. Don Lerew [email protected]

Does anyone know if a recording has been made of the Feigley cemetery in Springfield township in York County, or has anyone actually been there? Thanks. Mickey

I believe the Archives in York Co. as well as the Genealogical Soc library could also help - but you could contact the Historical Society in Philadelphia also. York co.

Hello, My name is Joy Gable and one of my ancestors was also a guard at Camp Security. He was Alexander Thompson. He enlisted 3 times according to the Veterans administration. The third time was under Captain W. Collins as a lieutant and was staionted at Camp Security as a guard. I live in York and can be reached at [email protected] . Alexander was my gggggrandfather. I don't know what I can do to help, we are up against alot of money with Pasch.But I will try. I am very proud of the small part my family has taken in forming this country. Joy Gable ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 1:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [PAYorkGEN] Camp Security Hello listmembers Camp Security, one of only a handful of its kind, and the last remaining prisoner-of-war camp used during the Revolutionary War, is being threatened by the proposed development of $300,000 homes. My ancestor, John Andreas (Andrew) Stauch, was a guard there, so I have a personal interest in this dilemma. I am in contact with Becky Roman of Historic York, Inc., and she has supplied me with some information that I will share with all of you. I can supply more info if anyone is interested. Some of this info is copied exactly as it was written in the info Becky supplied to me. Camp Security was established by the Continental Congress to replace prison camps in Virginia, and to also relieve overcrowding at the Lancaster Barracks. It was ran by the county, and housed over 1,500 British and Canadian prisoners between the summer of 1781 and the end of the war in the spring of 1783. It included a stockade prison and a village area, where the model prisoners and their families resided in crude log huts. Research and fieldwork was done by archaeologists in 1979 and 2000. Artifacts that were found include redware pottery fragments, container or glass bottle, nail fragments, window glass, straight pins, and buttons. A Mr. Ditchman collected many military buttons in 1979 from backdirt piles. His collection includes many British and Canadian enlisted mens buttons. It also contains one British officers button which may have belonged to Lt. Nutt, a member of the Convention Army held at the camp. Written history on the camp is incomplete and cannot adequately interpret its story alone. This makes the site unique and a fragile resource of extreme National significance, and should be saved for future generations. In 1999, a residential subdivision was proposed for 73 houses to be built on the property. The development will impact wetlands and a stream, so Department of Environmental Protection and US Army Corps of engineers permits are required. To avoid the Corps permit, the developer is threatening to place a bridge over the stream and leave the wetlands undeveloped. Surveys were done on the site boundaries, but the Corps, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, and Historic York, Inc. results differed with the survey completed by the developer. The developer has redesigned the plan to leave a small portion on the camp undeveloped. This has been promoted by local government as an adequate solution. The 5.3 acre preserved area of the site will be surrounded by homes, and will be owned by the homeowners association. The camp was originally over 100 acres. This situation is not suitable to promote future excavation and research, and also lets the homeowners association do what they want with the site. Time is running out for Camp Security. There is a meeting of the Springettsbury Twp. Planning Commission on Thursday. This is a critical time, and action needs to be taken. Below are addresses and phone numbers for contacts that have a hand in this situation. I urge you to call or write to these people and voice your opinion. I welcome anyone to email me letters, via my email address, and not the list, and I will forward them to the Becky Roman. I am also asking anyone that had an ancestor with an involvement with the camp to contact me. Together, we can fight to save our heritage.

Researching Thomas Hinshaw, s/o Jacob and Rebecca (Mackey) Hinshaw, and their son, Thomas Hinshaw, who married Hannah Seasfield in 1766, York Co. PA. They lived for a time within the limits of New Garden MM (1741- 1748) Chester Co. PA, and then moved and about 1748 became members of the Menallen Meeting, Warrington, York (now Adams) County, Pennsylvania. Thomas' birth date has been variously reported to be c1749, c1737, or c1740, but likely he was born in Ireland before the family removed to Chester Co. Pa, abt 1740. However, he married before 10-11-1766, and would not have been of age by this time had he been born in 1749. >From Menallen they removed to Monaghan Township, York County, where they were living in 1758. About 1765 Jacob and family moved to Orange County, North Carolina, settling in the vicinity of the Sandy Creek Meeting, located west of Liberty near the community of Melancton.167 They presented a certificate dated 10 Mo. 12, 1765 to the Cane Creek Monthly Meeting on 1 Mo. 4, 1766. Thomas returned to York Co. PA, where he married Hannah Seasfield. On 10-11-1766, the Warrington MM recorded: "Thomas Hinshaw is joined in marriage with a young woman not of our society by a magistrate." Thomas was disowned the next month and (apparently) never rejoined the Quakers, although he spent the rest of his life in Quaker communities. Thomas Hinshaw died May 26 1825, Surry County, North Carolina; buried Deep Creek Friends Cemetery, Yadkin County, North Carolina. Jane Hinshaw, was the youngest child of Thomas and Hannah Hinshaw, was born Feb 8 1785, Surry County, North Carolina. She married Rev. Richard Benge, Jan 8 1801, Wilkes/Surry North Carolina. Richard, son of Thomas Benge, Jr. & Susannah Lewis, was born c1780, Wilkes County, North Carolina. I am trying to determine the parents of Hannah Seasfield (Seafield) b. ca. 1745 who may have resided in York Co. Pa in 1766. Any help would be appreciated. (she was my 4g grandmother). Pam Ingle

Gail, Thanks for the reply. I got the deeds by mail from the county Archives. My guess is that they were made from a microfilm copy, not the original. Microfilm of the deed records are also available through the FHL in Salt Lake City, although the county Archives is very responsive even if a bit more expensive.
