Looking for all Bickerstaff's living in Beaver County area in 1820 - 1850. Thank You. Walter

When we were researching in Washington County, PA I remember seeing the LEETS name many times. The parent counties of Beaver County are Allegheny and Washington.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: delrem Surnames: Potts, Wright, Greene Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.beaver/1898.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: My g-grandfather was Isaac Potts, he was the son of Rachel Greene (Potts) Wright and Nathan Potts. I find Rachel in the 1850 census living at home and in 1870 living as Mrs William Wright with Isaac listed also. Isaac's obituary lists his half brothers as George and Daniel Wright from Hookstown. However, she and Isaac are nowhere to be found in the 1860 census although he was born in June 26, 1859. Isaac's death cert says his father was Nathan Potts. Information passed from my aunt says Nathan was a river boat captain nicknamed Shanty Boats. There is a Nathan in the 1860 census but he was married to someone else and he was a river boat captain. I am trying to make that link, I could be wrong. Nathan is listed in the 1850 census married to Eliza living with the Blacks. Eliza died and he remarried Elizabeth Black He also may have been the Nathan that owned a tavern there as I think he relocated to Brooke County when alcohol was prohibited in Beaver County. Any information woul! d be very much appreciated. Mary DelRe PS I also have noticed that both Isaac and his other 1/2 brother John Thompson gave their daughters the name Viola. My grandmothers name was actually Freida Viola Potts Do you show a Viola in your Wright history? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hello ~ Does anyone have the means to look up an obituary for me? Nina L. Holoweiko died November 25, 2005 in Wampum, Lawrence County. She was born in Beaver Falls. Obituary Times lists the following citation: HOLOWEIKO, Nina L; 73; Big Beaver PA; Beaver County Times; 2005-11-26 HOLOWEIKO, Nina L; 73; Big Beaver PA; Beaver County Times; 2005-11-27 I suspect one is a death notice and the other an obituary. There may also have been an obituary published in Wampum, but I do not have that information. Thank you very much for any help anyone can give. Sue

Hi Cousins : I want to thank all of the good people on this who responded to my request for help with Thomas . You folks have a good list and the listmom should be proud of all of you. Thanks again and Peace be with you all. Cousin Jack Clifton

How many cemeteries would be in the vicinity of Beaver County, PA? Does anyone know where to find this out? I am looking for an Adam L. Cearfoss listed as 15 years old in the 1920 PA Census for North Sewickley Twp., Beaver Co., PA. His father is shown as James and his mother is shown as Anna. I've already searched SSDI for the above name and found nothing. "IF" I could find info regarding his death and burial site (I'm assuming that he has died) then PERHAPS I could find out my gg grandfather's middle name as his name was also Adam L. Cearfoss.
