Hi Brian: I think you're mistaken. The section of current Beaver County south of the Ohio was part of Westmoreland in 1780, as the map clearly indicates.

Brian, I believe that Allegheny and Beaver were formed from Washington and Westmoreland.

Looking for the family of Amanda A Armer born 1838 in either Beaver or Washington County. She married James T. Campbell, son of Josiah S. and Rosanna (Teel) Campbell of Frankfort Springs, Beaver County. Marriage date unknown. Some time after the Civil War, they moved to Galion, Crawford County, Ohio where James was an undertaker. James died June 14 1893 and Amanda died October 17 1917. Anyone have any info on Amanda's parents or siblings? Diane

I could find no record of what you sought in your query about Beaver Co. and Westmoreland Co. I suggest that you read 'Ancestry's issue of RED BOOK. It contains references to read about Maps and Land Records and basically how the state developed. It does not show Beaver Co. as being at one time a part of Westmoreland . Hope this helps.

Beaver County was erected out of Washington and Allegheny counties on March 12, 1800. It decreased in size when Lawrence county was formed in 1849. Source - A Guidebook to Historic Western Pennsylvania.
-- If you go to this web page http://users.penn.com/~tshu/genealogy.html Scroll down to Pa maps and clck that you will get the page with maps showing the counties of Pa since 1718 through 1820....there are 8 of them there...When I found it the other day it I began to understand when someone said "No that was in Allegheney Co at that that time..ect..." meaning that being able to see it as it was at the time period explained it to me easier...

Clif, My "problem" this time regards the Hartzel family. I have a will that mentions land "in Westmoreland County"; however, the son turns up in Franklin Township, Beaver County. It appears that Franklin and North Sewickley and Marion townships were above the Westmoreland line. The will is important because I don't have what I consider a conclusive link between the Montgomery and the Beaver county people. I'm still not turning up much new. I found some interesting information on my Nye line (into which the Peirsols married). I'm been running that down the last few weeks. I tried to go to my local library's genealogy room. I now live in Fairfax, Va. I figured that it should have something on Hampshire County. However, it was Monday - President's Day - and it was closed. I don't know when I'll have a chance to get there again. It's only three miles away but my time is so tight right now. I'll keep you updated. I still plan to make a thorough search of the western Pa. records this spring and summer. I'll keep you updated on that, too.

Thanks. The 1780 map of Penna. counties: http://users.penn.com/~tshu/pa1780.html Makes it appear that Beaver County never was considered part of Westmoreland County. Of course it's still possible that my ancestor was confused and just figured that anything west of Harrisburg was Westmoreland County. Quite a few of my ancestors seem to have been "confused."

Hello, Was Beaver County ever considered part of Westmoreland County? Perhaps before the establishment of Washington County in 1781? Or was the land that became Beaver County still under Native American control at that time? I have an ancestor in Montgomery County who mentions land in Westmoreland County in his will in 1795. His son turns up in Beaver County in the 1830s. Would it be worth my while to check Westmoreland County land records to find the property that was later in Beaver County? Thanks.

Hello, This list has been very helpful already but I'm still going to jump onto the roll call bandwagon. (I think it's a great idea to have one very so often.) My lines and the times they arrived in Beaver County: NYE: Andrew, Michael, Sampson, Michael P. Starting in late 1700s. PIERSOL: Sampson, Jacob. Staring in late 1700s. HARTZEL: George and George. Starting c. 1830. GERWIG/GARWICK: Jacob and Jacob. Starting in mid-1800s. ERB: Sarah, probably daugher of George. Married Jacob Gerwig. STAMM: John. Starting in early 1800s. LESNETT: Christopher and Dell. Starting in late 1800s. POTTER: William. Immigrated from England in 1820s. MOYER: Samuel, Abraham and Louis. (Primarily in Butler County, though.) Starting in early 1800s. I have quite a bit of information on some of these families and tidbits on others. I'm always happy to share (although it might take me some time to get around to it.)
