Don't know how close you are to Gettysburg, but if you are within travelling distance, you unfortunately just missed an opportunity on this subject at the Adams County Historical Society ( www.achs-pa.org ): Tuesday, May 4, 7:30 PM - Speaker: Timothy H. Smith; "The French and Indian War in Adams and Franklin Counties": Background will be given on the French and Indian War and the impact on the local area's early settlers. There were several raids into present day Adams County and several citizens were killed or taken prisoner by the French and Indian forces. Saturday, May 8, Bus Trip to long forgotten sites associated with the French & Indian War will include the area of Virginia Mills, the statue of Mary Jamison and a guided tour of Fort Loudon, Franklin County. Timothy H. Smith will be the guide.

Hi, I have ancestors who settled in the southeast corner of the county and I'm wondering how the French & Indian War would have impacted them. How close to the fighting would they have been? It's of interest as my direct ancestor had his children during that period. It's hard to fathom how dangerous it was without throwing in the complication of childbirth. Neil

I am hoping someone would have access to some court documents or can locate any further newspaper articles on a Henry Hoy being charged for murder in the Kensington and Southwark Riots. He was arrainged before the criminal Court of Philadelphia for the murder of Joseph Rice on May 7, 1844 in the district of Kensington. His court date was in Nov 1844. Any further information found would be appreciated. Source: Adams Sentinel (Gettysburg, Penn) Nov 11, 1844 Thanks Mike

<snip> "I have a note that one Joseph Harris was married there about 1776..." The name 'Harris' is listed in M.B. Walmer's "Menallen Minutes, Marriages and Miscellany Quaker Records 1780-1890," but no Joseph. The original records are on micro-fiche through the LDS. Bob Cooke

Does anyone have access to records from the Menallen Meeting of Friends in Adams County? I have a note that one Joseph Harris was married there about 1776, but nothing further. No spouse or anything. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks. Linda

Saw your post and wondered if you may know of the Hartman connected to my family. His name is Amos C. Hartman. He was the second husband in 1891 of Ruth Emma (Cook) Bair, b. 3/20/1858. My family lived near Dillsburg, Carroll twp., York Co., Pa., about 25 miles due north of Gettysburg. Amos & Ruth were Friends and married at Warrington MH, in Warrington twp., York Co. They had one son, John Ernest Hartman, b. abt 1893, who married abt. 1915, Mary Walsh. Ruth Emma (Cook) is my gr. grandfather's sister. I know nothing about Amos C. Hartman. Bob Cooke

I've traced a probable ancestor to Adams County and could use some advice. The ancestor in question is John Black, who died in Adams County in January 1986 according to the SSDI. "My" John Black was born in Massachusetts in July 1897 (exact day unknown). The John Black who died in Adams County was also born in July 1897 but I haven't been able to determine if he was born in Massachusetts. Any suggestions on how to discover this piece of information are much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Dick Felts Gainesville, GA

This is merely a legal matter authorizing the executor of the Will to pay for his funeral expenses. I've seen a fair amount of these in various Wills (even today!). It doesn't imply he wanted to buried elsewhere (otherwise he would say so). > From the map of the Manor of Maske I found on this site > http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/3034/Manormap.html > It would seem that his property (plot #79 and 78C) was very close to the > Maryland border. > In those days would it be an option to take the body that far? Yes, it was possible, but they would have to pack the body in ice and sawdust which was hard to come by in those days and very expensive. If he authorized a lot of $$ for his funeral, this may be what he had in mind. Otherwise it's just conjecture. > His second marriage in 1790 was at Rock Creek Congregation but since it is no > more I don't know if they had a burial> ground. Hope this helps.
