In the book "Ten Mile Country and It's Pioneer Families", p 519, I found this listing: List of Marriages from the Docket Book of Jay Thompson, Justice of Peace at Carmichaels, PA... Thursday, December 26, 1822, William Allison to Martha Londy Does anyone have information on this family or connect with these surnames? William and Martha may be the parents of my ancestor, Mary Ellen Allison, born about 1829 and listed on the Cumberland TWP, Greene Co., PA 1850 census. Have a great weekend!

I have a John LESLIE who died in 1835 in my database, but he was married in 1827 to Mary "Polly" McFARLAND. Polly was born 12 June 1795 and died 16 February 1892. Her family lived in Beaver County PA when she was young. They had children Eliza Jane LESLIE, William LESLIE, Susannah LESLIE, Margaret LESLIE, and Mary Jane LESLIE. Mary Jane married Uriah APPLEGATE. They had children Leslie APPLEGATE, Uriah Sampson APPLEGATE, Calvin APPLEGATE, Hall APPLEGATE, James APPLEGATE, Hugh APPLEGATE, Frank APPLEGATE, and Mary APPLEGATE. Mary APPLEGATE had a daughter June NELSON. The 1850 census shows a Uriah APPLEGATE living in Liberty Twp, Trumbull County, Ohio. John LESLIE had a sister Jane who married Hugh Campbell. Jane died 11 Nov 1892. Most of this information is from family records written in 1893 by Polly McFARLAND's niece, Mary Jane McFARLAND TROY.

I was wondering if someone could do a lookup for me in the 1840 census for Beaver. If so please contact me. Thanks Michelle

I am a descendent of Talbot TOWNSEND of New Brighton (1782-1869) and have a lot of info on his descendents. Also am in possession of many letters written from Beaver Co., to my gggrandmother, Eliza Townsend GAMMEL, between 1851 and 1891. In these letters it often mentions friends and neighbors. Some of the names mentioned include; McCONNEL, JONES, MORLAN, WALKER, WALLAS, HAMOND, BACOM (spelling?), HARDINGS, SQUIRES. McCLURE, ERWIN (many references, may be a collateral family), McCALESTER, MEANS, THOMAS, TALBOT, BANCROFT, HOOPES, CALDWELL, McCLARY and others. Will share if you have connections to these families.

I recently received a packet of info from the Beaver County Research Center Carnegie Library concerning the Heckendorn/Heckathorn/Hackathorn family. Based on several other researchers theories, I believed that my ggg- grandmother Susan/Susannah Goddard's maiden name was Hackathorn. This packet included copies of info from "The Heckathorn Family," by Ann C. Sherwin. However, I could find no info on my Susan Goddard in it. I then discovered two folded, legal-size pages that were copies of a will that was still in the envelope. This was a copy of the Last Will and Testament of George Heckathorn "being far advanced in years and of Green Township, Beaver County, PA" dated 26 March 1838. This will had been filed with the Registrar of the Probate Wills on 23 August 1846. It listed his heirs as his daughters Barbary Othican? (surname hard to read), Polly Heckathorn, Betsey Miller, Susan Goddard and sons George Heckathorn, John Hackathorn, Peter Heckathorn and Charles Heckathorn. He named James Moody as the executor. There was no mention of his wife. My Susan Goddard was indeed his daughter and I had theorized that she had moved to Ohio sometime between 1845 and 1850, probably after her father died. Does anyone have this George Heckathorn or any of his children included in a database? George probably would have been born around 1760 to 1782. Susan Goddard was born circa 1800. Or, does anyone recognize any of the collateral names in this group? Also, would the Beaver Co. Probate Court have further records on this will? Thanks, Sondra Hogue Taylor

Hi all up there in the cold! I just found among all my junk a copy of the Souvenir Book printed at the time of the Baden Centennial in 1938!! Has practically all the families living there then with wives and children listed. Also short history notes, memoirs of some of the "oldest inhabitants", ministers of all the churches from the "Year One". Lots of goodies. My name is listed with the Girl Scouts. I will try to look up stuff for you Badenites. I grew up on Athalia Ave - way up there- in the house my Grandfather built in about 1905. Be patient, OK?

For a long time, I've suspected that many of my Carroll County, Ohio ancestors came from Washington and Beaver Counties, PA. Recently, I was able to make the connection from my ggg-grandmother, Ann, wife of Samuel CONLEY of Carroll County, OH to her father in Hanover township, Beaver County. The will of John DEVER/DEAVER mentions his daughter Ann Conley. I've located John in the 1820, 1830, and 1840 Beaver County censuses. He and his wife Elizabeth SHAFER are also mentioned in Warner as the parents of Elizabeth TORRANCE (also mentioned in John's will). The following other children are named in John's will: Isaac, David, William, John Jr., and Sarah SPEARS. According to a bio on John's grandson, William, located in another source, "History of the Pan-Handle", John and Elizabeth were born in Germany and lived in Maryland when they first came to the US late in the 18th century. John served in the War of 1812. Sometime before 1820, the family moved to Hanover township in Beaver County. John died before September 4, 1849. It would make sense that John Dever's daughter, Ann, would have married someone from close to home.The Beaver County censuses show several CONLEY families living near the Devers. Based on my Samuel Conley's age at death, he would have been born about 1805. I've narrowed down the Conleys with children of that age in the census and have come up with two possibles, John Conley or Nicholas Conley (also spelled Conly). Ann and Samuel married around 1830 and Samuel bought land in Ohio in 1832. Is anyone else working on any of these names? I'd love to know more about these branches of my family and find parents for my ggg-grandfather, Samuel Conley. Diane

hello everyone, Looking for any information on William I. Wood. The first information I have on him is when he marries Nora Eifert, December 1, 1890. He lived in Beaver County until about 1910. He is my great grandfather. I am trying to learn more about him; if he had brothers or sisters, or the names of his parents. thanx Tom in Ohio woodtww@aol.com
