I would like to hear from anyone researching the GOULD surname. I believe my ancestors are John and Hannah Gould, I do not know Hannah's last name. My line comes through their youngest child Samuel "Wallace" Gould, saw a picture of him several years ago and written on the back was his name and the date October 1840 (assuming this is his birth date). He moved to Beaver Co. by the mid 1860s and married Annie Morris, Samuel was killed by a train abt. 1873. In the 1850 census Madison Twp. John 57, Hannah 53, Rachel 23, Ann 18, Margaret 16, Walace 11. In the next household is Daniel Gould 29, Mary 25, Magdalina 6, John 3, and James 7 months. On the next census page another John 24, Elizabeth 21, Jane 5, and Samuel 2. In the 1840 census there are 3 Johns, one in Toby Twp., in Wayne Twp. and Madison. Can anyone give me help with this family? Marilyn

William Green came to Fayette, then Armstrong Counties Pennsylvania, with three sons and a daughter. The sons were Samuel, John, and James. The daugher was Margaret who married Daniel Fitzgerald. Son John Green married an Elizabeth Gould. Both are buried in the Green family cemetery in Armstrong, North Buffalo Township. Goulds are numerous in early Armstrong county per Smith's1883 History of Armstrong County. Father William Green married a Mary Huey. Where I do not know. Most likely New Jersey, Sussex County, around Johnsonsburg. The death certificate of one of the children identies here with the last name Huey. Another certificate identifies here with only the first name Mary. The time frame is 1760-1800. Huey's are also in early Fayetter county records. Fayette was settled before Armstrong. I have not done the Hueys so cannot answer your question directly Brian Green Harriet McClaine wrote: >Brian, Are you in the family of Sarah Gould and Jacob Howard > families?

Hi-- I'm looking for information on Reuben Briney who died 02 Jun 1865, and was born around 1848. He is buried in Schotts Cemetery in Kittanning Township, Armstrong County, PA. Also, who is in charge of that cemetery? JP

Brian, Are you in the family of Sarah Gould and Jacob Howard families? They are my great, great grandparents. Also, who are the HUEYS that you refer to. My aunt Bula Sayers had some connection to a Jack Huey .... Early 1900's to 1927.... Heellie@nauticom.net

My Greens are in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania which is one county north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. William and Daniel Green settled there in the 1784-1791 period coming from Fayette County Pennsylvania south of Pittsburgh, and then earlier from Sussex County, New Jersey. William was a Loyalist in the Revolution and lost his land in and around Johnsonsburg, Freylinghuysen Township, Sussex Co., NJ. William and Daniel had brothers George, Adam, and John. Adam and John later went to Ontario for land as United Empire Loyalists. Their father was Samuel Green Senior deputy surveyor of West New Jersey colony. He died in 1760 and I just located his burial area in the Dark Moon Cemetery outside of Johnsonsburg. Samuel's son, Samuel Jr., by his first marriage was instrumental in the founding of Hope.NJ, a Moravian settlement. George Green died a war prisioner in the Revolution. He had four sons. One son Richard may have gone west with William and Daniel. Search Objective: looking for all the Greens in Armstrong County from 1790 to 1850. I have one other Green family, then a mysterious Rebecca Green with lots of children in the 1830 Census for Sugarcreek Township. I believe she may be my missing link. I will share information will anyone who is related. Related family names are McCullough, Huey, Fitzgerald, Gould, Cook (from New Jersey). Descendents of William Green believe he was a Patriot in the Revolution. They have William as a William from Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. The problem however is that there are death certificates in Armstrong County courthouse that have two of William's children as born in New Jersey, plus the Fayette County records all suggest that William Green and Daniel Green came west with Glovers and Nixons from Sussex County, who like William chose the wrong side in the revolution.

Hello all, I am looking for information on John Akins (In the 1850 census for Kiskiminetas twp he is listed as John Eakens). He is married to a Martha ? Family legend says her last name was Alexander. We have two death certificates for two of his children which says her name is Martha Dunmire. Can anyone help? Thanks, Dan F.

I have a John Crawford, born 1776 who ended up in Armstrong County. With a birth date like that and moving to the same area as Mathias, one could hope that they were brothers. Do you know if there were more than one clan of Crawfords in Armstrong County? Do you know anything about Mathias siblings? John had 2 large families, first with Mary ____, many of whom were born in the early 1800's, and then with Sarah _____. I do not have dates for Sarah's children, but I would assume they were from the later teens or 1820's.

I was wondering if someone could lookup the Titus surname on the 1800 census for Armstrong county. There should be 2 John Titus on page 199 and 202. One looks to be spelled Titis. I have the information but thought it might be wrong. The John on 202 is John, Sr and reads: 00101-1000100 which seems to be correct but the John on page 199 is John, Jr. and it shows: 00001-4101000 which isn't correct. John, Jr. had 4 sons and 1 son that fit the digits in the female enumeration. The other issue is that the 1 female fits his wife's age but the 1 for the male doesn't fit his age which should be the same as his wife's age. It looks like this census taker missed the boat on this one??? I wanted to recheck to make sure it wasn't an error on the part of the transcriber of Family TreeMaker. My email address is listed below if you want to contact me direct. Thanks in advance, --- Dan Titus --- dtitus1@earthlink.net --- EarthLink: It's your Internet.

Pat, This is from the CNN web site: * * * * * WASHINGTON (AP) - Americans who served in World War II or supported the war effort at home can now add their names to an online registry. Organized by the American Battle Monuments Commission, the Web-based list is an effort to extend recognition to as many as 16 million Americans who served in uniform during the Second World War. It is being launched almost a year before the dedication of the first national monument to World War II veterans, slated for May 29, 2004 - Memorial Day weekend - on the National Mall. The registry is open not only to veterans, but to "any American that served in the armed forces or contributed to the war effort on the home front, whether in factories and shipyards or farms and neighborhoods," the commission said in a news release. The registry is accessible on the National World War II Memorial Web site - www.wwiimemorial.com - or by calling the commission toll-free at 1-800-639-4WW2. Anyone can submit names and registration is free. Previous efforts to gather names for the registry "barely scratched the surface," collecting only 1.3 million names over the past several years, said Mike Conley, a spokesman for the commission. Of those, nearly 700,000 names were submitted by the public. The rest were culled from public records, including casualties listed by the National Archives and Recods Administration and the commission's own lists of veterans buried in its overseas cemeteries or included on its Tablets of the Missing. "We're making the registry available now, prior to the dedication, to encourage more enrollments," Conley said. President Clinton authorized the memorial in 1993. Construction on the site, opposite the Reflecting Pool from the Lincoln Memorial, began in September 2001. When complete, the memorial will consist of a plaza and a pool bordered by granite pillars and 24 bronze bas-relief panels with scenes from America during the war. Unlike the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the World War II memorial will not bear any veterans' names. More than 400,000 Americans died in World War II, more than six times the number of veterans whose names appear on the Vietnam memorial. * * * * * Pat Thompson wrote: > Alice, Thank you so very much for this URL.

Alice, Thank you so very much for this URL. I checked the list (searched) for my father's name and I didn't find it, but I was able to add his name from his military papers that I have. He served from 26 Apr 43 to 25 Nov 45 Had you not posted this URL he may not have been included in the memorial even though he served. I have already started plans to attend the memorial opening in 2004. Does anyone know how the names are gathered, what database are they using for Veterans? How many others are being missed? I belong (subscribe) to the Armstrong mailing list because of my mother's family - KISER - from Westmoreland County and her related family members who were in Armstrong County. KIMMEL-KISER Again, thank you so very much. Pat

Hi Tom, My grandfather has two headstones. The reason; My grandmother and grandfather bought a stone when my grandmother died or maybe before she died. She wanted to be buried with her parent and some siblings. This is in Jefferson county. After she died and the stone was placed with both names my grandfather re married a third time. His third wife outlived him and she wanted him buried in her plot. Later the third wife died and they are in the same plot. So he is buried in Butler County, the stone has his death date, and his name is also on a stone in Jefferson County but no death date is inscribed. This is my experience. I know this because of it being done in my lifetime. I don`t know how you can tell which place has the body.

Dear List: I've asked this question before, but never got an answer. I keep coming across multiple headstones for the same individuals. For example, I was just looking at Mary Jane Schaeffer-Rupert, who has a headstone among both the Schaeffers and the Ruperts in the Brick Church Cemetery. Other times, I have noticed headstones for the same individual at both Brick Church and South Bend. Am I seeing double, or was this a common practice? If so, how can you tell where the body lies?
