Kathy Olson, Brownsville had better be on the Monongahela River or I flunked geography again. Mac

Hi Julia: Based on my very limited knowledge this is what I understand: Redstone is the name of a township in Fayette County, Penn. I believe there once was a city/town in Fayette Cty, Penn called Redstone Old Fort. This is now Brownsville, look on the Ohio river for it. Now a question for the list, are there any books, booklets, write-ups on Redstone Old Fort that anyone may know of. I know it's in Fayette not Beaver, but at least for my ancestors it was a 2-4 year stopping place before they moved permanently into the area south of the Ohio in Beaver County. Time Frame: 1790-1805. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.... thank you kathy olson plano, texas

I am searching for information on Taggert Joseph MARSHALL born in Beaver Co, PA 1803. Would appreciate any help. Wanda J Thompson

If anyone is interested, the records of St. Matthews Lutheran Church, Wall Rose, 1838-1899, are now translated to English.( $15.00 including mailing costs.) Also Wagner Church records, 1857-1902, are available. ($7.00.) There is a wealth of information in the St. Matthew's records. Most are of German Lutherans. I will be happy to send an address to those that are interested. Imogene Perkins Bestmema@aol.com

Oh my! I don't want to go that way! Barbara

Thank you so much. Yes he was young. But family says he did join and serve there at that time. And then the way he died was tragic. In 1905 he went from Allen Co. OH to Union Co. NM to meet his brother and buy some cattle for a ranch. Apparently he accidently stepped in front of a moving train (in the cattle yard ?) and "was frightfully mangled" according to his obit. Yikes!

This is written in regards to the will of Abraham Vaughan witten in Sept. of 1778 and a searchers remarks in 1943 from Washington Co. Pa. General Note:-(She is describing the appraisal of Abraham Vaughans Estate) "Notice that there were two sets of appraisers in Abraham Vaughan's estate. We know he owned land in both the present Washington County on Harmon's Run and also in the present Fayette County, for his will states "the Plantation between Laurell Hill and Chestnut Ridge". There is no doubt but that this plantation was in the present Dunbar Township of Fayette Co. Pa.(erected from the county of Westmoreland in 1783; Westmorelan County ,Pa. was erected from Bedford Co. Pa. in 1773; then at the time of Abraham's death the Plantation, considered from the angle that it was in Pennsylvania territory, was in Westmoreland Co. Pa. Considered from the angle that it was Virginia territory it was in Yohogania Co. A rough tracing of a map from Page 182 of Crumrine's History of Wash. Co. will show the claims of the two states overlapped. Because Abraham Vaughn owned the two tracts in two different sections, it is the opinion of my lawyer husband that there were, therefore two sets of apprasiers. I have shown that the first group were from Washington County. The second group are all seemingly from Fayette County. The last two named- John Beeson and Henry Beeson were most prominent in the early times in Fayette County and laid out the county seat-Uniontown (then known as Beeson Town) in 1776. Henry Beeson, a Quaker, came up from Virginia in 1767 and selected lands within the borough of the present Uniontown. The 54 lots laid out in Beeson Town were disposed of by lottery on July 4, 1776. Jacob Beeson was a brother of Henry Beeson. These references come from Ellis' Hist. of Fayette Co. Pa. under "Uniontown". Another history of the town of Uniontown states that Henry Beeson was born near the present site of Martinburg, Va, (now Martinsburg, county seat of Berkeley Co. W.Va.) May 19, 1743 and married in 1765 Mary Martin, daughter of william Martin. Jacob Beeson was born in same place June 1, 1741. He was a tanner and married Elizabeth Hedges. His daughter Jane Beeson, married John Clark. I do not find anything definite Edward Hatfield, nor Christopher Brice or Price. There were Hatfields in the adjoining townships of Bullskin quite eatly, however. These 4 men apparently appraised Abraham Vaughan's land in Fayette Co. Abraham Vaughan's will is unusual -first, because it was found at all; second because such prominent early people were witnesses or appraisers. The Gist's and Poes were equally prominent while the Beesons were prominent from the earliest time in Uniontown down to the present time. There is doubt in the mind of your searcher if any will of the early days is so hedges about by such famous people. It is strange that Abraham Vaughan was so closely associated in two counties with such famous personages. The most careful perusal of the Virginia Court Records gave only the 14 references. These do not add much to the facts already known in the Abraham Vaughan search, yet the fact is established from the first reference that at least he was in this section as early as Spt. 20 1775 and his death occuring in Sept 1778, would make entirely certain that he dwelt in these parts for three full years. Florence S. Mollvaine Searcher 47 N. Wade Ave. Washington, Penna. March 18, 1943 I have a copy of Abraham Vaughan's will and his apprasier papers and other documents from the searcher mentioned above. I still need to try to locate this site to a smaller area. I am under the assumption that Abraham Vaughan would certainly be buried close to this area. I am wondering if it is possible that a cemetery exists that has his grave or was he buried on a private cemetery ...maybe on his plantation? This is a real mystery to me trying to locate his homestead let alone his grave. Does anyone know where this area would be? Does anyone recognize the names of the people mentioned . Would appreciate any help. Michael Tisevich Canton, Ohio Abraham Vaughan was my 6th great grand father. Abraham Vaughan born about 1740 died 12 Sept 1778 wife Hannah Wheeler died 11 March 1761 issued: Richard Vaughan b.1752 died 1821 married Dianah Wilson Isabella Vaughan b. abt. 1754 Hannah b.1756 died 1810 married John Comley

Thank you Barbara and Tami! Yippee! Thank you to all of you who looked for Samuel A. Wilson and sent me the site. I went back into my info and found that Samuel Alvin Wilson was known as Alvin and was in Co. D. I found him at the Roundhead site! Thanks so much!!

Gail, check your dates. If Samuel was born 1849, he would have only been 16 when the Civil War ended in 1865 - certainly too young to have served with his sons. You can write the National Archives for his service and/or pension records, the pension records are most interesting. Stephenie Todd.

Hello, A distant family friend says my Samuel Alvin Wilson, b. 1849 in Beaver Co, and moved to Allen Co. OH about 1860, returned to Beaver Co for the Civil War and served along with some of his sons in the 100th PA Vol Inf. I cannot find anything on the net of this regiment. Is anyone familiar with it? Thanks! Gayle gayle@olypen.com
