Thank you for your reply. Actually, I descend from two Smith families. The one in pre-Revolutionary times in the Gettysburg area is from my mother's side; and, then, I have a James Kennedy married to a Margaret Smith in SW PA on my dad's side. Their daughter, Mary Ellen Kennedy married a David Landis. Trying to research the Wilson and Smith families in early Gettysburg is really a job. There are so many families and they seem to share the same first names for their children. My William Smith lived in the Manor of the Masque.

Dr. Neal O. Hively, Thank You. I would really appreciate knowing when your book if for sale. Also, might there be a James Smith listed in the land records? >From what I understand of the will of John Smith, James inherited land from John Smith. James Smith may be the son of William and Elizabeth Smith, who married Elizabeth Smith, daughter of John and Margaret. James Smith is listed in the will of John Smith, James is also to care for Margaret Smith, widow of John. These Smith families seem to complicate research in naming their children somewhat the same, except for James {son of William and Elizabeth} and Hugh, {son of John and Margaret}, William, son of William and Elizabeth; and John, son of John and Margaret Smith. Marilyn, I don't think these are of the same William Smith families. William and Elizabeth did have a son named William. I don't know who or where William II married, or how many children he had. He did have a daughter named Mary, who somehow ended up in or near Mercer County, Kentucky. This daughter Mary {Polly} married an Alexander McMurtry in Mercer County, Kentucky in 1798. Hugh Smith was the bondsman. William Smith II was known as Billy Smith, Indian fighter. I have not been able to track where he fought, there are several men known as William Smith in the Revolutionary War. William and Elizabeth Smith, the elders, had children, James, George, William and Eleanor. Eleanor married a David Bales. There was a William Smith who took a licensure west of the Susquehanna River in 1735, I have not been able to connect him to my Smith family, but it is a possibility that he was an relative of one of our families. Thank You both for your answers. Judy Smith/Colorado

Within a week or two I'll be posting the full name index for Volume 2 on my website: http://www.paland.us. I'll post a notice on Paadams + Payork when I do. I'm in the final - final stages with the book and map and very close to shipping it off to the publisher.

Mike, I really, really do appreciate this. Searching for a John and William Smith is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Possibly the most difficult would be finding the surnames of Margaret, wife of John;, and Elizabeth, wife of William. The maiden name of Margaret may start with an R, as her son Hugh named his first daughter Margaret R. Smith. He also named the youngest daughter, Ann R. Smith. On Elizabeth, I have no idea, as I have found no middle names in the children of William and Elizabeth. I believe John Smith may have been born around 1720, no idea where, just that the earliest land record I have is his warrent for land in 1743, in later York, and Adams Counties, probably the Tyrone township area. I don't know if they belonged to any church, no record, but Margaret, wife of John, did join the Christ Anglican church {aka White church} near York in 1777. I also would really like to find out about the two men named George Smith, one of which stayed on his father {William} property in York County, Huntington Township, property of about 200 acres. William possibly was manufacturer of whiskey, as he had 300 kegs listed in his probate. The other George Smith was a miller, possibly in Tyrone township. One of the two George's married a Sarah Brandon, daughter of Thomas Brandon. One of them died before 1810 and the other before 1820. I would like to know children if possible, one or two of which probably was named George. Anything of any nature would be helpful. Thank You again.

Regarding: William Smith My 5 x g, grandfather was a William Smith who purchased his land from William Penn. His daughter, Mary Smith, married Robert Wilson b/ 1750 and her sister, Esther Smith, married Robert's brother, Charles Wilson b 1751. Is there any connection between my William Smith and the William Smith mentioned in the recent Adams County emails? I only know of his daughters via his Will but have often thought that he may have had sons who were doing well so William took care of his 4 daughters in his Will. Charles Wilson fought in the Revolution with the Flying Camp and was captured by the British. There is a Robert Wilson also with the Flying Camp but I haven't proved this Robert was the brother of Charles. Robert Wilson and Mary Smith are my 4 x g, grandparents. The Wilsons lived at Two Taverns.

Hi Ed, I am not related to any McIlhenny, but I did purchase some of Dr. Hively's maps and land records. I highly recommend them (as in for each area of interest, purchase both the land records book and accompanying map). Just a bit to add to your McIlhenny names you mentioned. I have Special Publications, Number 5, October, 1978; and Number 6, January 1979 from the South Central Pennsylvania Genealogical Society. Regards, Jane Tripp 1762 Tax list of York and Adams counties (portions of the original manuscript are missing) Reading Twp McElhaney, William Monaghan Twp McElheney, John Mount Joy Twp McElhoney, Ezekiel ----- Original Message ----- From: Dr. Neal O. Hively To: paadams@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2008 6:23 PM Subject: Re: [PAADAMS] McElhenny/McIlhenny Family Hi Ed, Dr. Neal Hively writing. I research and publish original colonial land records for south-central PA. In the past twenty years I've researched and published all of York County (some 581,000 acres). I've now moved on to do Adams County. My volume 1 for Adams County shows a William McIlhenny in Mt. Joy township on the M-369 York warrant (most outside the Manor of Maske), Ezekiel McIlhenny close by on the M-5 York warrant - most of that tract patented to James McIlhenny, Samuel McIlhenny patented land also close by in Mt. Joy Township, (all of the above in the south-west section of Mt. Joy Township, just outside the Manor of Maske), Robert McIlhenny surveyed land warranted to John Steele (the S-351 Lancaster warrant) - and patented the same. I have produced a six township connected survey map which shows how ALL of the colonial surveys fit together in Germany, Union, Conewago, Mt. Joy, Mt. Pleasant and Straban Townships (outside the Manor of Maske). There is also an accompanying full source and summary index cross-keyed to the sequential survey numbering on the map. I'm now finishing the east and northeast seven townships of Adams County - hopefully by the end of the year, including Berwick, Oxford, Hamilton, Reading, Tyrone, Huntington and Latimore Townships - and more McIlhenny's. See my website: www.paland.us for more info and background. My best, Neal -------------------------------------------------- From: "Ed Wevodau" <wevo@verizon.net> Sent: Sunday, November 02, 2008 8:50 PM To: <paadams@rootsweb.com>; <palancas@rootsweb.com>; <pafrankl@rootsweb.com> Subject: [PAADAMS] McElhenny/McIlhenny Family My ancestor William McElhenny died in Fannett tp. circa 1797. Evidence from a deed included below indicates that he resided in York County, PA, in 1791. The area where he likely resided is now Adams County, PA. I have been attempting to link William to other McElhenny/McIlhenny families. There appears to have been a migration from Southern Lancaster County to the area of Mt. Joy, Reading, and Straban townships, Adams County (then York), circa 1752. I have been compiling data; however, I don't have enough evidence to draw conclusions. From Lancaster County Deed L3-270, we can know that a Robert McElhenny and his brother William McElhenny resided--or at least owned property--in Drumore tp., Lancaster County. Immediately after each sold his part of the property, both names appear in Adams County, obtaining warrants for land. An Ezekiel McElhenny follows the same path with other land, although I can't determine whether there was one Ezekiel or two. The Robert McElhenny, resident of Straban tp., died testate in York County, leaving a son named William. There is only one William McElhenny found in tax records circa 1779 to 1783 and on the 1790 Federal Census in York/Adams County. That man certainly is my ancestor--but is he Robert's son or Robert's brother? Or someone else? Seeking assistance with men of these names. Below, I have included quite a bit of data I've culled to further the process. There is a separate McElhenny family in the Lancaster area (John McElhenny and his brother Alexander) whose descendants migrated to North Carolina. There is another John McElhenny of Chester County whose son William appears to have moved to North Carolina. If I have time, I will later post that information to the Lancaster group. NOTE: The data below excludes a Samuel McElhenny who appears linked with the names below. Samuel resided on property adjoining Ezekiel McElhenny in Mt. Joy tp. Previous researchers have suggested that Ezekiel, Samuel, William, and Robert might all be brothers. I see no reason to discount this belief; however, I have only direct evidence that William and Robert were brothers.
