    3. Hi, Guess I might as well include my Beaver County, PA surnames here. These are: Aley, Anderson (or -en), and Menawey. Also for Mercer County, PA: Aley, Anderson, Edwards, and Menawey. Menawey may be a corrupted spelling - whatever is phonetically close. I have Aley on Beaver Census 1830 and Mercer Census 1840 - 1880. Edwards on Mercer Census 1850 - 1870. Menawey was a given name of the second son of John Aley and was born 1834. I am thinking he was named after his mother's father (the first born son was named after his father) - and might be an Indian. I suppose all know that Beaver and Mercer counties had pieces taken from them in 1849 to form Lawrence County. Good luck to all. Iral Nelson Richland, WA icnelson@3-cities.com
