There are references to Christopher Oury (Urich or Ourich) in 7 pages of the "History of Armstrong Co.", most of which refer to real estate. I will give you a summary tonight and will send more detail when I have time to read it all. He had a tract of land of 312 1/2 acres in Kittanning Twp. which was seated by Richard Graham and Abrahm Tiscus. Apparently, it was next to a tract seated by Jacob Schrecengost. In 1805-6 he was assessed with 300 1/2 acres, 1 distillery, three horses, three cattle, $345.50. In 1806, $350.50. "A notable point in early times was on the Christopher Oury tract, where Richard Graham settled and kept an inn, which was a favorite resort for pleasure parties from Kittanning and elsewhere." page 182. On May 26, 1826, a sermon was preached on the sixth and seventh verses of Colossians on a five acre tract donated to the church by Christopher. More later!!!

Dear Paul, Thank you for the help. I did find those three in the cemetery, I just don't know if there is a connection to them. I'll send a letter to the church right away (and a donation). I have two books on early births(1675-1875) and central PA marriages(1700-1896)for misc. areas of PA. (Nothing for Armstrong Co.) Let me know if I can check on any one for you, Thanks again, Irene At 02:26 PM 4/30/98 -0400, you wrote: >If you look on the Armstrong County Web Page at : > >http://www.pa-roots.com/armstrong/cemeteries/cemetery.html > >in the listing for Sts.

There is a small private Rupert cemetary in Girty, Armstong Co. I have Ruperts & Rupps. I'm not sure if there are any Rupp's in it. It's really run-down. Very few graves left.

Hi to All, I am researching my husband's side of the tree. His ggreat grandfather was John DEVIT/DEVITT and Anna___. Both from Ireland. John was born about 1823 and Anna was born about 1836. I first found them in Brady's Bend, Armstrong Co., PA in the 1860 census. They had two children listed; Mary Anna, 3 yrs old & John 2 yrs old. Mary Anna married Charles DOLAN sometime before 1877. Charles was born in Ireland in 1842 and came to the US in 1863 (according to census records). I don't find Mary Anna and Charles DOLAN until the 1880 Census, Greene Co,IL Does anyone know anything about these DEVIT's or Charles DOLAN. I have other DEVITT's in the Armstrong Co., census records, but can't make a connection. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Irene Dolan tdolan@alaska.net

I am looking for the grave of Christopher Oury/Ourich d. 1824 and his wife Catherine Rupp Oury/Ourich d. 1825. They lived in the Kittanning area. Catherine was the sister of Francis Rupp. I think they might be buried in Rupp's Cemetery. Does any one know or have a book that would list them being buried there? Thank you Starlene Oary starlene@cross-roads1.com

Does anyone have information on where I can get records for the Grace Reformed Church near Widnoon, Pa.? Is it still there? Many of my Collingwood relatives went to that church also my Stowers, Duncan, and others. Can any one help? Thanks. Sher

John, Thanks so very much for the clarification regarding the state census of PA. This has been a real area of question for me for several years, and your explanation has, for the moment shed some light on a rather sketchy area in my family search. Your comments about the death index for 1852-54 were of particular interest.

Could someone tell me where I might locate a cemetery list for a Catholic Cemetery in the Brady's Bend area? I am looking for the burial site of Manus Boyle and his wife Anna Sharkey Boyle. They were living in Brady's Bend during the 1880 census, and were in their early 70's then. Any help, especially the location of a Catholic Cemetery in that area would be appreciated. I am assuming they were both dead before the 1890's.thank you ...sue b.
