Hello Barbara, I'm sorry I don't have the info you are searching for, however I wonder if you can tell me if some of these people are connected to my research. Do you know if the John Hewitt who married Elizabeth Bender sold a farm known as "Hewitt's Mill" to Jesse Cook in Nov. 1838, that was located one mile north of the town of Bendersville in northern Adams Co., thereafter known as "Cook's Mill"? The several people with the Biggs name, are they connected to Basil Biggs, a "conductor" on the Underground Railroad in the area of Gettysburg and who was contracted to bury the dead after the battle there in July 1863? Thanks, Bob Cooke Simi Valley, Ca. --------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2009 22:39:56 -0000 From: "gc-gateway@rootsweb.com" <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> Subject: Re: [PAADAMS] George HAMBURG, early 1800s To: <PAADAMS-L@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <1250894397.748821@rootsweb.com> Content-Type: text/plain; Hi, Sheridan: I'm doing research for Patricia Biggs Kelly who wishes to join the DAR under Jacob Bender of Adams Co, PA.
