My 4th great-grandfather was George Baxter, who married Elinor McEwen (McOwen, McCown) in the Hopewell congregation of Rev. Cathcart. George died intestate in 1805, leaving Elinor with 7 children under 10. I found, in a book of NEwspaper abstracts from York co, that, in Oct. of 1797, there was a letter in the post office at York for a Robert M'Henry, send in the care of George Baxter. Then, in 1798, there was another letter, this one to Robert Smith, care of George Baxter. I have absolutely no idea why George was getting mail for other people, but there must have been a connection, and I'd love to know if these were family members, employees, or what. Is anyone researching any of the above families. George's daughter, Roseanne Baxter married a Joseph Smith, in 1813, but if there was a tie to the Smith family before this date I don't know it....
