Is anyone doing research on John Hannah in the 1790 US census...Berwick, Cumberlain, York Co.? The people listed in his household: 1,2,3, 0,0. I'm not sure of the headings..they are not listed..I guess the first couple at least, are male......I am interested in him because I have a Robert Hannah, b. March 22, 1788, in Adams Co.(which was York in 1788 I believe).bapt. by Rev. John Hohnson, Presby. preacher of Huntingdon (not sure if t or d). This is all from a family bible. We donot know who Robert's parents were. I would like to find out who John's children were. He seems to be the only Hannah in York Co. in 1790.....there are Hannas but Robert spelled his name with an H (which does not mean his dad did...but it's a hunch). Thanks for any leads.

Hi, 1. General question, what church records etc would be appropriate to find out more about the following Lutherans: Looking for family of JACOB WENDEROTT who married BARBARA MYER sometime prior to 1777. Her sister ANNA MARIE MYER also married a WINTEROTT sometime prior to 1777. 2. I would like to find more of the genealogy of those Wenderoths above . Casper Wenderoth appeared briefly in Lancaster Co but left to settle in the Frederick area well before when the kids above might have married. According to some Wenderoth researchers the family was in the area that later became the Littlestown area of Pa. Presumably these are the Wintrode families. Their brother JOSHUA MYER who married ROSINA MERCK in Lancaster Co apparently had his firstborn son, Jacob, born in the Littlestown area in 1780 and baptized at an unspecified church in 1780. [This per LDS IGI] By the 1790's he was a farm owner in the Mechanicsburg area of Cumberland Co. and, therfore, no longer in the Littlestown area. 3. Any idea what church in the Littlestown area may have these records for Joshua? I never could understand why the Myers girls would wind up marrying these Wenderoths who appeared so far away from their home in northern Lancaster Co. The clue may be through Peter Klien the founder of Littlestown. Joshua's wife above was the granddaughter of a Klein. Tony Hoover

Hi list, I would appreciate any info of the background or family of Peter KLEIN, particularly if there is any connection with Johann Jacob Klein or a KlEIN [KLINE; CLINE; etc.] of Lancaster Co. Thanks Tony Hoover

Hi list, Do any of you have knowledge of a May Say or a David L. Schwartz possibly of Lancaster? May would have been David's wife and possibly born between 1848-1855. They had a daughter Mouvinta born either October 1877 or 78 in Oil City, PA. David was a stone mason by trade. He also was tall, had dark complexion spoke high and low German. He may have been born May 1850. His first wife might have died in child birth sometime after 1877 or 78. In 1885 I am guessing, he married Nora Wheeler of Allegheny, Catt. Co, NY. After his marriage he settled in Potter county, around the Bingham, Ulysses, Hector area's. Thank you. Joan Beebe Meddaugh Portland, Or.

Listmates: Here is my occasional posting re my WILSON family in PA and NC. It has political, historical and genealogical interests for all lists posted as recipients. My purpose is to find links / cousins / descendants of the WILSON family featured. I descend from Jasper WILSON who is the 8th child (of 10) of James and Abigail (BLACKBURN) WILSON. The lead article sets the stage and explains fairly well why this family has been so elusive to research.brick walls are in the form of secrets! I would be more than happy to share more detailed info on this family per your request. Thanks! - Tom Wilson (see below) ************************************************************************ ************************* Source of article below: Walter W. H. Wilson of Houston, Texas The Protestant Episcopal Church of Huntingdon was part of the so called American Church, a missionary branch of the English Church. It was staffed by missionaries sent by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Lands (SPG) from London. The Parson of the church in Huntingdon was one Daniel Battwell, a Cambridge man by schooling. It is said that the British Empire was created by the SPG. The King had headed this church since the time of Henry VIII. (Walter W. H. Wilson thinks the SPG was formed about 1600.) Reverend Battwell and the other missionaries had no doubt held discussions about what to do about those in revolt's desires to remove the royal families presence from the prayers in the American Church, but they had resisted. Jesper, John Sr. and Jr. and James Wilson had been Vestrymen and wardens in the Huntingdon Church, and may have signed the petition to form the church in 1749. Those in revolt caught Rev. Battwell in York, dunked him in the stream, and took his horse. Later, they treated him to a time in the York jail. It appears that John Wilson had close ties with Battwell or Loyalist activities. When a justice sent for him, he fled. He was attained of high treason and his estate was seized, but his wife lived out her life on it before it was sold. Research on the other members of the family is difficult. They took a low profile. The church went into hiding or was reduced to a shell. Reverend Battwell became a Chaplain of a Loyalist Regiment and then went back to England where he had been a successful preacher. John Wilson, of York County, Pennsylvania, was never found in the list of Loyalists who fought or moved to England or Canada. Jesper Wilson died in November 1770. He left money from his plantation and the place where he lived to his wife, who he does not mention by name, and his daughter's children. No trace of his property listed in his will can be found in deeds or land records. His wife, Ann, left money to the heirs of John Wilson, Jr., but none has been found for James Wilson or his heirs. Her record of the gift to John Wilson, Jr's heirs is found in the land records and not in a will. James and Abigail lived, it appears, in Tyrone Township, York County, Pennsylvania (now Huntingdon) until almost the end of the Revolution, late 1782, without leaving any tracks that can be found. Abigail left a record that she traveled to Center Quaker meeting in the Warrington Meeting (York County), but she never showed up in Center (North Carolina) as a Quaker. Walter W. H. Wilson first found her there in Guilford County, North Carolina where she buys 500 acres of land in 1790. James was with the family there earlier. Odd thing; a John Wilson was in the Center area in 1783 in the land of John Parker which is a part of the land Abigail bought there in 1590. RESEARCH NOTES SINCE THIS ARTICLE: 1. Jesper probably had at least two brothers named Samuel and Thomas. One of James' sons is named Samuel. 2. This Wilson line had ties in the Revolutionary War period to Wilson families in Chester County, PA and Delaware. 3. James, son of Jesper and brother of John Wilson, Jr., no doubt was not treated as harshly as his brother John Jr.; he is believed to have signed an oath to the patriot cause. He remained neutral during the war which, no doubt, upset his father, Jesper enough to exclude him from any inheritance in favor of John Jr. 4. Based on the location of birth of James and Abigail's twins in 1767 (Jasper and Rebecca), it would be safe to say the James Wilson family was in North Carolina as early as 1766 (versus 1782 as mentioned in the article above). Perhaps the final move was in 1782, but the family was in NC in 1767. Did James move to NC to join other WILSON cousins? 5. John Jr. was probably named after Jesper's father, who was probably known as John Sr. It was not uncommon to have "Srs" and "Jrs" skip a generation or two in that era as an emphasis of a special honor. Today, a "Jr" is typically the son of a "Sr". 6. Abigail was "disowned" by the Quakers when it was discovered she had married outside of the Society of Friends. The "disowning" procedures were carried out by her father, John Blackburn, Sr., a well known Quaker elder of the Warrington Meeting and the Menallen Meeting (present day Adams County. John Sr., as overseer of the Warrington Meeting, had participated in two "disowning" procedures for his son John Jr. as well; once for fighting Indians and another time for taking up arms against the British.

I am researching the surname Arkland. In the 1840 Census for Hamilton 2, Adams, PA is listed a Joseph Arkland. However I cannot find him in the 1830 or 1850. Does anyone have, or can anyone find any further information on this person? Thank you in advance. Amy Lathrop Lackwanna, NY

Single freemen above the age of 21 years were taxed, at least in the early decades of the 19th century. I'm not sure if the same minimum age continued up until the distinction in tax records between single and married men was eliminated in the mid-19th century. -Richard

Good Evening to the list, I found my John PLATT and his son Henry on the 1800 tax list for Mt. Pleasant Twp., Adams/York Co., Pa. It is assumed that all the PLATT children were baptized at Conewago Chapel and the early records containing this information are lost. I'm trying to use the tax list as an aide to estimate a date of birth for Henry (as early as 1774 and as late as 1780), listed as a 'single man' in 1799 for the 1800 taxes. At what age is one considered a 'single man' for the tax lists of 1800? Thanks, Jane researching PLATT in Germany & Mt. Pleasant Twp., Adams Co (1747 to 1801 or so)

Hello Fellow Listers: This just came through the PA Franklin Co. List - Thanks to Barbara West [email protected] Hope it helps someone on this list.
