Last week I spent some time in Phila. at the Presb. Hist. Soc. doing a bit of work on North Side congregations. Larry is right on the mark in that some records are in considerable detail and some are in no detail at all or simply not there. In the story line of what was the 2nd UP congregation of Allegheny the books/records/etc/ moved from pastor and session cleck from one time to another and then from one place to another. Eventually some were sent to Phila. because that is the rule. The best records I ever found were from the German Presby. Church of Manchester in that there was only one pastor for over 50 years and he kept very detailed records that his daughters sent to Phia. Otherwise they would have been lost. A pity but most protestant churches are not too keen on geneaology, except for the Mormons and there is a theological reason for that. > Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2011 22:59:41 -0500 > From: lt0168@epix.net > To: paallegh@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [ALL] those confusing Presbyterian churches ... > > Marybeth: > One big problem with Presbyterian records is that the Baptism and > Marrage records generally belong to the Pastor.

Marybeth: One big problem with Presbyterian records is that the Baptism and Marrage records generally belong to the Pastor. Sometimes they are left behind with the church, but often they take their records with them. Sometimes they get donated to the Presbyterian Historic Society. But sometimes they get lost. For example a few years back the WPGS published the records of an the Pastor for a Bull Creek and Deer Creek Presbyterian minister. Luckily one of my ancestors was in there, which gave me his wifes maiden name.

This is meant as no disrespect to the Presbyterian Church, but is it any wonder I can't locate marriage and christianing records for my Scottish Thomson ancestors!!! Carol's post is quite an interesting one, as I am not as baffled or confused as I have been about this topic. Years ago I visited the Presbyterian Historical Society in Philadelphia, not knowing that I needed to know the name of the church they attended. I had done some work trying to pin-point where they were members, but to no avail. Dorothy Braden's book is a good source, but I think I need to get back to our local LDS/FHC and order more films.

It applies to both of the churches and is EXACTLY the same. Church was organized in 1837 as First Associate Presbyterian Church of Allegheny; in 1858 it became a United Presbyterian Church and in 1877 it became Allegheny Second United Presbyterian Church located on Stockton Ave., North Side, Pittsburgh. In 1909 the Allegheny 9th United Presbyterian Church merged with the Second, in 1930 the Allegheny 10th United Presbyterian Church merged with it, and in 1943 the Allegheny 5th merged with it, this time to become the Allegheny 2nd-5th United Presbyterian Church and located on Brighton Rd, North Side, Pittsburgh.

>Mary Ann I have been trying to get the local Methodist Episcopal Historical Center to look for the records of the cemetery. Its in the process of looking. I would like very much if you could scan and send me the April 16, 1905 article if possible to support my request for them to search. In the mean time. On or about April 27, 1927 the remain bodies (about150 I have been told) were lifted and re-interred in Southside Cemetery in a common grave. Norm Meinert has two pictures on his website of the Memorial Stones for those re-buried. A list did exist in a book in the Southside Cemetery of those re-interred. It should still be there. I am hoping that the present staff will look for it and put it on disc. Now it is possible that your Mary Cavanaugh was moved privately.

I've seen some discussion about moving bodies from the Bingham Methodist cemetery. The article April 16, 1905 states it is from the quarter sessions court. The hearing was slated for April 29th 1905. I was wondering if the records of the quarter sessions court are available. It is my understanding if bodies were moved there was an accounting of those bodies. This was for another cemetery in Tennessee. Are those records available? There have been other cemeteries that have been moved. I've hit a brick wall with my Cavanagh/Cavanaugh families in the 1850's. I wonder if one of those moved cemeteries has my Mary Cavanaugh in it. Mary Ann

Listers and Diane: The following are emails from the LAMBIE rootsweb surname list that I subscribe to. A sister of my great-grandfather, Robert Thomson (1815--1883), one Margaret L. Thomson (1808--1887) was married to John Lambie. I have learned a lot from this list, as it is very active and the data and info provided is quite interesting. Anyhow, there has been a discussion about Lambie's in Allegheny Co., and I thought you might find these posts of interest. Would like to hear from anyone with connections to Margaret Thomson and John Lambie. Marybeth Subject: Re: [LAMBIE] Allegheny Lambie Research To: lambie@rootsweb.com I have the mariage of Penelope to William Allen, and they had ten children. Does this agree with your researches? I have a photo of her. And I have been told the story of Jack Lambie flying the Atlantic. I have a newspaper cutting somewhere, must dig it out. Jack rang my mother (Betty Lambie Rees) when he reached London, where she was living, and came to call! I think he flew over, solo, for the coronation of King George VI in 1937, but I have no evidence, only family hearsay.

The last two men died after being taken to the hospital. The explosion occurred at 5 o'clock a. m., when preparations were being made for the morning melt. The force of the rush of expanding gas was terrific, and frightened the entire town of Braddock. Hundreds of half clad men, women and children flocked to the mill to inquire the cause of the noise and the result. The majority were Hungarian and Polish women who live near the mill, and had husbands and brothers working at the furnaces. They crowded into the yards over railroad tracks which form a network about the row of furnaces and could not be forced back. They swarmed through the stock sheds, and soon the air was filled with dries and groans as the bodies were picked up and recognized. The carelessness or ignorance of one of the top fillers, all of whom are Hungarians, caused the accident. The refuse material which forms a ?hang? had been allowed to accumulate until its size obstructed the free passage of the gases generated in the melting of ore. One of the top fillers dumped a barrow full of stock into the furnace without raising the boil, and this obstructed the opening still more. The top of the furnace was practically closed, and a force of men was sent there at once to remove the material which closed up the top. While the men were trying to accomplish this working directly over the top of the furnace, the ?hang? dropped into the molten metal at the bottom of the furnace. At the same instant the gases, which could not escape because of the obstruction at the top, took fire and exploded with a deafening roar, the sheet of flame belched out the top of the furnace, striking the men who were scattered all about it, blowing them in various directions. The materials loosened at the sides of the furnace by the fall of the ?hang? and the explosion followed the rush of flame. The debris dropped back upon the men, already frightfully burned by the gas. One man was blown over one of the elevators and dropped down through it. His body struck a car standing at the bottom and was cut in two. Other men were burned beyond recognition, and were identified by clothing or physical peculiarities. Only one man, was killed instantly, but the others in the list of dead died while being taken to the shed. The position of the men while working at the top of the furnace was such that they had no chance to escape. The iron covering at the extreme top checked the flames enough to drive them back down, thus enveloping the men completely. After the first rush the flames poured out of the opening steadily, and it was a hazardous task for the rescuers to go up and bring the bodies down. All the injured, except JAMES HARRISON, the foreman, were Hungarians.

Edgar Thompson steel works Aug 1897 Listers: I am helping a cousin find a death notice, obit, or story about an explosion at the J. Edgar Thompson steel works in Braddock, PA. Date of the accident is believed to be 13 Aug 1897. His grandfather's name was John Gordon. I have searched the Pittsburgh Press editions of the 14, 15, and 16 Aug 1897, but am unable to find anything about this accident, or the death of this person. Am hoping someone can help with this one. Many thanks. Marybeth C. acmbjc@aol.com

While searching for records for these churches in the FamilySearch Library Catalog, I came across the following film description. It applies to both of the churches and is EXACTLY the same. Church was organized in 1837 as First Associate Presbyterian Church of Allegheny; in 1858 it became a United Presbyterian Church and in 1877 it became Allegheny Second United Presbyterian Church located on Stockton Ave., North Side, Pittsburgh. In 1909 the Allegheny 9th United Presbyterian Church merged with the Second, in 1930 the Allegheny 10th United Presbyterian Church merged with it, and in 1943 the Allegheny 5th merged with it, this time to become the Allegheny 2nd-5th United Presbyterian Church and located on Brighton Rd, North Side, Pittsburgh. In 1963 the name was changed to Faith United Presbyterian Church. In 1971 Faith merged with Melrose United Presbyterian Church to become the Pleasant Valley Community United Presbyterian Church which in 1980 was disorganized.
