I'm researching and writing about these familes. Many were in Bucks County, also Philadelphia and scattered around the state and eventually, moved out afar. I'd be really interested especially to hear from anyone who has personal family information. The immigrants arrived between 1766 and 1809 in Phily and then settled in Bucks County and Philadelphia.

I'm trying to figure out who the parents were of siblings: William,Thomas,David & Hannah Drake. They were probably all born circa mid 1700's in Bucks Co.,PA. Hannah Drake was married twice. Her first husband was Robert Longshore,Jr.circa 1777 probably Bucks Co. & her second husband was Daniel Cresap,Sr.in 1797 Allegany Co.,MD. The Drake brothers married Hinkle sisters(Elizabeth,Sarah & Margaret)from Frederick Co.,MD.circa 1780's. Thomas & David Drake & families migrated to Holmes Co.,Ohio.William Drake's son William Drake,Jr.& family moved from Bedford Co.,PA.to Harrison Co.,OH.in 1819.This is my line. Thanks for any help! Are there any DRAKE biographies listed anywhere in Bucks Co.? Sincerely, Pam Drake in IN.

Hi Jackie, Where did you find the data on Stanley Biles? I found a draft registration for him, but I am wondering if there is more info about him or his family. James D Biles - I have his birth date as abt 1799 in PA. This was arrived at by the various census reports. He died after 1875. I have not found a death date or place. I assume it was in Philadelphia.

SARAH DE NORMANDIE, daughter of ANTHONY3 and MARY (HALL) DE NORMANDIE of Bristol, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, married first, evidently as his second wife, CHRISTOPHER PETER previous to 1787, as appears from their signing the marriage certificate of her brother JAMES DE NORMANDIE 6 September of that year, in Newtown, Bucks County. They lived in SMITH HALL, SAINT PAUL's Parish, Charleston District, South Caroline where he died testate, and his widow SARAH (DE NORMANDIE) PETER married by license dated 7 January 1791 JOHN JOSEPH ABERCROMBIE. The Will of CHRISTOPHER PETER of SAINT PAUL's Parish, South Carolina, planter, dated 20 August 1790 and probated 1 March 1791, orders annual payment of L170 sterling to my wife SARAH PETER as my widow, and to my daughters ELIZABETH PETER and MARY PETER. Executors to sell part of my lands westward of Edisto or Pon Pon River to pay debts. Requests his children not be admitted to go northward or out of this State or forfeit L20 sterling for each offense.

DE NORMANDIE. 53 After their appearance in Bristol Township, Bucks County, in 1791-1792, JOHN JOSEPH and SARAH (DE NORMANDIE) are found in Baltimore, Maryland, by 1796, as the register of SAINT PAUL's Church reveals. After 1799, they appear to have moved to Tennessee, from which state their son JOHN JOSEPH ABERCROMBIE was appointed to the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York, in 1817.

Hi Ken; I just checked the names you are interested in, in Bucks County. There are 57 Deemers, 4 DeWees (no 'e' at the end), 20 Longs, 42 Stewarts and 42 Morgans. That doesn't mean there are that many biographies. There are many descendents mentioned in one biography and other times those who married into a different biographical sketch. As Judy posted today, many of the sketches are on PAGenWeb; but if you have lots of roots in Bucks, as I do, you may want the CD. I got it from Heritage Books (heritagebooks.com) 800-398-7709) I have copied the page from their website: CD: A Genealogical and Personal History of Bucks County Pennsylvania Quantity in Basket: None Code: CD1355 Price: $26.00 Quantity: CD: A Genealogical and Personal History of Bucks County, Pennsylvania - William W.

Marion, Thank you for checking. I'm surprised at all the Brown references - and that there are so few Dyer references. I'll check the PAGenWeb site and I'm happy to have the CD information.

Hi Diane; I did check the CD for Dyer and Brown. There are over 100 references to Browns and twelve for Dyers. Many of the references will only be because they married into a family being sketched; but some will be in detailed family sketches. As Judy Jackson posted today, many of the sketches are already posted on PAGenWeb; but since not all are, you may want to get the CD. The index is very helpful in finding the people you want to look up.
