Looking for the Plank's of Liberty, Union, and Morris, Tioga County Pennsylvania thank you Cathy

Would like any info on the old cannel that went through Standing Stone. What year was it made, year ending and where did it start and end? Eugene DePew

21 years of age. The answer was in guardianship records. 14 and unders, somebody else must petition court for guardian to be appointed for minors. 15-18, the minor can petition the court for a guardian be appointed. 18-20, must ask court for permission to sell or buy estate, property whatever. 21 - free to do without having to ask the court.

Dana, Do you happen to happen to have any ALLEN's or MOORE's in this book? TTYS, Dawn Green

I have come upon an interesting fact regarding the book Presidents, Soldiers, and Statesmen. I recently purchased a set (vol. I & II) but could not find Adam Richter of Blossburg who is listed in it. They apparently printed several regional versions of volume II. I wound up with a western New York version of Volume II while Adam Richter is apparently listed in a Pennsylvania version. I already have a copy of his write-up and was hoping to purchase the whole book. I Just wanted to let everyone know to that you have to know which volume II you want to look in. While I am disappointed to not find Adam Richter listed, the two volumes are a wealth of information on the Civil War, the signers of the declaration of independence, and the Presidents and there cabinet members. It will be great reading material. The only tri-county entry I noticed was of a Harkness from Springfield. -- Dana Richter [email protected]

Barbara: Would you please email me concerning LEVI WALKER and D. CINTHA WHEELER. I have found an old email you sent to the list in 1999. Levi is my great, great grandfather through his daughter, Elizabeth. Would like to know if you were able to locate anything on Levi or D.Cintha. I did not try your email address as it is so old. Thanks, Ray Schoonover [email protected]

I believe Antrim is in Tioga not Bradford County.

Cathy, I think you'll find that prior to 1893, birth certificates will be very hard to find. Most Pa. County Courthouses (Register and Recorders office) will not have ones issued prior to then. I was told to check with the local historical society. Chances of finding one there are VERY slim, though. Tom C.

Where can I write to obtain a birth certificate for someone born in Antrim, Bradford County Pennsylvania, in 1874? I am banging my head against a wall!! Thank you Cathy

Hi Everyone, Does anyone out there know what age a man/boy has to be when he is considered "of age" in the 1670's and could inherit property? My husband and I were discussing this last evening. I think it was at least 16 or maybe 21. Pat Wainwright of Chemung Co., NY

Ernie, During my eleven year tenure as Director of Veterans Affairs for Bradford County I was not able to locate the repository for Pennsylvania draft board records. Only the index books were available at the county level. As I recall, the books contain nothing of genealogical value other than the address where the registrant lived. I believe I turned these books over to the Bradford County Historical Society for archiving about three years ago, shortly before my retirement.

I just recently was browsing Joyce's site for any possible information relating to my Father and his family. I found out that my father was assigned the draft number 2021 by the Bradford County Board #1. on Oct. 24, 1940. Does anyone have any idea where I could write to find out if they have any information about my fathers parents? Any help would be greatly appreciated. This list and Joyce's site are just SUPER and I for one feel that it is something worth keeping free for as long as Joyce can keep it that way. Just my $.02 worth. Sincerely, Ernest Warren, Researching Warren, Leonard, and others

30th November, 1782, Independence of the United States acknowledged by Great Britian. 14th December, 1782, Charleston, S. C., evacuated by the British. 3rd September, 1783, Treaty of Paris concluded. 26th November, 1783, British troops withdrawn from N. Y. They wouldn't have become citizens before the War was over:-). The only methods I know of are ships passenger lists and records of indenture that counties kept before this time. http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/aboutins/history/index.htm http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/aboutins/statistics/legishist/index.htm This second link gives alot of info on immigration. Found from the first link. from the first link. . Act of March 26, 1790 (1 Statutes-at-Large 103) The first federal activity in an area previously under the control of the individual states, this act established a uniform rule for naturalization by setting the residence requirement at two years.

Could someone tell me if the Historical Society for Bradford Co is open on Monday or Tuesday. Unfortunately, if not, I will have to miss a research visit to them, and would be sorely disappointed. I will only be in Towanda PA on Monday or Tues next week and would like to know, if I miss the Hx Soc, is there a library or other research facility available for me to use. All this in connection with researching my family in Bradford Co.
