Dear Alan, I just read your beginning posting of "Pennsylvania Colony and Commonwealth" and found it most helpful. Since I have many ancestors who lived in or were connected with Solebury Township, I'm also hoping that you will add to that listing sometime in the future. The broader history of the entire colony and the histories of individual families such as those in Solebury and Falls complement one another. Thank you for making this wider understanding possible. I also just read the "Chambersburg" sketch, which related to my Scots-Irish ancestors and their migrations from Pennsylvania to Ohio or Kentucky and on to Iowa. The Quaker and Scots-Irish families I am interested in include Townsend, Gilbert, Holliday, Cochran and allied families such as Hartley, Dungan, Patton and Boothe. Again, thank you for making history come alive, Lucille Woolis Andersen Alan Buckingham wrote: >Hello All > >I have begun reading the book "Pennsylvania Colony and Commonwealth" and I >am also scanning it and adding it to my web site for anyone else who may >have an interest in it.

The Welsh Baptists of Pencader,Del,spent a few years 1st at Gwynedd,or North Wales,the 1698 colony who immigrated mostly non-Quaker,unlike the main Welsh Tract just west of downtown Philaelphia,or 20 miles south. Gwynedd was,1698,in Philadelphia Co,now Montgomery,with Bucks Co forming the colonies northern boundry. Southampton and Pennypack were the Baptist churches nearby. Neshaminy Presbyterian,on that creek,in Bucks. Maybe Abington Quaker meeting. I had Edward Foulke,Episcopalian,of the 1698.And my Swiss MaDori-MaDARA, Medary,Medairy lived on Neshaminy Creek,at the Bucks-Montgomery line. The farm south of mine in Clermont Co,SW Ohio was settled in 1818 by John Simpson,Jr grandfather of Pres-Gen US Grant. Simpson lived within the Gwynedd tract,but crossed to Bucks Co to Neshaminy Presbyterian to worship,1815+ under Rev Belville,of NCC,Del.Dad's [1898-2000] uncle was Robert Belville Simpson

I have a John ANDERSON I would like to find --he was supposedly the father of William ANDERSON, who was the third husband of Deborah De MEYER, born 1664, New Amsterdam/New York. William ANDERSON and Deborah de Meyer were married on 10 October 1697. I think there was no issue... Deborah was baptized Jun 15, 1664 in Dutch Reform Church of New Amsterdam (became New York). Deborah De MEYER, daughter of Nicholas De MEYER and Lidia Van DYCK, was married previously to Thomas Crundall or Crandall, who arrived at New Yorn 1681 on the "Thomas and Anne" --that marriage 1684, New York; next she was married in 1691, to Thomas Lyndall or Lyndon. All three marriages took place (or were recorded) in the Dutch Reform Church of New York. But John ANDERSON, said to be the father of William ANDERSON, supposedly died somewhere in Bucks County PA. I would be interested to know ho his wife had been, and if there were other children besides William. Thanks for any help. Liz J

> 1. John W. b. 24Dec 1782 Holland who later was said to be of Whitefair, Guinnett, PA and I have no idea where that was. I think "Guinnett, PA" is probably Gwynedd. I think it's in Montgomery County PA now, near Horsham. It's a very interesting post. If you find out where in Holland they were born, I would be interested. Thanks. Liz J

The Gallia County Historical Genealogical Society is working to create a library that will help researcher whose families migrated along the river. Many families traveled the Ohio River from Pennsylvania to Missouri and even farther west. We are trying to make the Gallia County Historical Genealogical Society the best in Ohio, we continue to grow with new members ever day and new fresh ideas for everyone, young and old. We are planning several new projects and publications for after the first of the year. We have had several calls at the Gallia County Historical Genealogical Society office in the last week by members wanting to donate their family histories so I would like to take this opportunity to ask the list for family histories. Since many families migrated from Pennsylvania we would like any family histories you would like to donate. Many of the German families in Gallia County were from Pennsylvania. We do not care if it is a published book, group sheets, or just one page of genealogy. We know that new genealogists may not have volumes of information but sometimes a page of information will spark something in a researcher that could help the submitter and the researchers. We have been trying for the last several years to expand our Genealogical Library and are currently hoping to purchase new shelving for this expansion. If your family was only in Gallia County for a short period of time as they were traveling west we would like to have your information, in other words the family did not have to live in Gallia County for generations. We received a call today from a lady from Kansas that's family migrated through Gallia County on their quest for life in the west. She has promised to send a 50 pound box of her families genealogy for our library. Now, we know everyone cannot contribute this type of genealogy but we are always willing to take any genealogy you are willing to give. This can be sent to the Gallia County Historical Genealogical Society, 412 Second Avenue, Gallipolis, Ohio, 45631 or if you have a GEDOM file you can send it to me at [email protected] or you can send a CD or floppy disc of your information.

I came across some old diary records/family genealogy that were kept by three remarkable ladies. All lived to be over 100 and all were alive at the same time for awhile so information was passed on. The eldest was Jane Ann Hogmire b. 22 Apr 1825, d. 7 Nov 1927 ,m. Justus Williams (Wilhelms) and her daughter, Hattie Livinia Williams, b. 1 Mar 1863, d. 15 Feb 1963 m. Frank Eugene Cleveland Smith, and her daughter; Cora Williams Smith b. 10 Oct 1887, d. 20 Aug 1889, m. Herbert D. Garrett, the grand parents of my former husband. Most lived upstate NY. It is pertaining toThe Williams/Wilhem line I am posting this. Andrew Williams/ Andreas Wilhelms was b. 24 Nov 1757 Holland, m. 11 Nov 17798 in St. Michael's Evangelical Church to Anna Elisabeth Engard b.25 Aug 1770 , baptized 18 Sep 1770 German Reformed Church, Philadelphia, PA. She was d/o Philip Engerd/ Engerts and Elizabeth. They bought land abt. 1805 in Avon, NY and moved there before 1810. They had these children; 1. Andrew/Andreas, Jr. b. 14 Nov 1799 Philadelphia, PA d. abt 1884, m. probably Adaline Anna Doty Johnson. 2. Anna Catharina b. 24 Dec 1800/01 Philadelphia, PA, m. Jesse (Andrew) Butterway 3. Philip/Phillipus b. 26 Oct 1802 Philadelphia, PA, m. Polly Van Antwerp 4. Heinrich Johann/ Henry John b. 24 Jul 1805 Philadelphia, PA, m. Hannah UNK 5. Conrad b. 26 Jan 1807 Philadelphia, PA m. ? Unk Finch? 6. Justus b. 26 Apr 1810 Philadelphia, PA, m. 22 Apr 1847 to Jane Ann Hogmire, d. 29 Sep 1908 7 Elizabeth/ Eliza A. b. 7 Dec 1811 Avon, Livingston Co., NY The first five were baptized at St. Michael's Evangelical Lutheran Church No city was given for this church. Andreas Wilhelms was m.. 1st in Holland to Elizabeth A. Houghensen who was b. 20 Dec Holland..no other info on her.They had two children; 1. John W. b. 24Dec 1782 Holland who later was said to be of Whitefair, Guinnett, PA and I have no idea where that was. 2. Mary b. 10 Aug 1795 Holland, m. Joseph Phipps. I have a little more on the Engard /Engarts family in (2 generations) Phillip Engard/Engerts emigrated to America 1728from Germany, m. Catherine Elisabeth UNK b. Ger. Surnames mentioned are, __Baker/Becker who m. Elizabeth Engard/Engerts ; ___Cupp/ Kolp who m. Margaret Engerts; ____ Emich who m. Mary Engerts. No first names given for these spouses. The other siblings were; Adam; Jacob; John; Henry; Peter; Philip b. abt 1745, m. Elisabeth UNK; and William. Philip En gerts and Elisabeth UNK were the parents of Elizabeth Annb. 25 Aug 1770 Philadelphia who m. Andrew Williams/Wilhelms This is an interesting entry: "As I can remember when i was a young kid my mother told me that in 1876 that pa and her went to Philadelphia to a centenial and visited a week with his cousins near where he was born. One cousin had a manufactory employing lots of help. They made ladys dirbys mens stove pipe hats which was the stile their days. Sister Louise has met a lady in Brockport that is a relation to my father by the name of Cook. I know they went to the centenial 1876. i went and staid with Uncle An- Butterway. They went to the worlds fair in Chicago too." I believe this was written by Hattie Lavinia Williams (Smith) Would anyone know of this hat factory? or who owned it? Or anything of this family before the went to Avon, NY? Sharon Goff Garrett

I am interested in your Williams family. My great aunt left Ontario in the late 1800's and went to the Rochester area to live with her mother's Tennison family. She married a William Williams in Rochester and he had a factory. I have a picture of the factory. Dye that he used in the factory led to his early death. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sharon Garrett" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 5:40 AM Subject: [PABUCKS] Williams/Wilhelms >I came across some old diary records/family genealogy that were kept by >three remarkable ladies.

This is a longshot... But I was wondering if anyone is researching Sarah Wright (married name) born approximately 1807. She resided in Bristol Bucks County. I am looking for a connection to Hannah Titus born about 1820 (married name) who also resided in Bristol. I hit a brick wall and am looking for a connection between the two. Thanks Susan Regan

Hi Barb, The Spruance Library of the Bucks County Historical Society has books listing deaths in the Intelligencer, from 1804 to around 1900+. If you only have a few names, let me know and I will take a look for you. They also have microfilm of the Intelligencer. If you were in contact with me several years ago, about Titus and photos at Neshaminy Warwick Cemetery, contact me privately.

Hello All, I am trying to move along with this book since it is long. I've scanned and added another 20 pages of "Papers Read Before the Bucks County Historical Society Vol. 1" to my web site.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Wesley MILNOR, his wife, and son and Lizzie KING of Bristol, Pennsylvania. The photograph was taken at the McManus Studio in Litchfield, Illinois. I would guess that the photograph was taken in the early 1900's with the man likely in his 40's or 50's, one woman appearing to be in her 20's or 30's, and young boy of about 4-5 years, and an older woman appearing to be in her 50's or 60's. I can't tell from the notation on the back of the photograph if they are all from Bristol, PA or just Lizzie KING. With limited research I did find information in the 1900 census of the KING Family in Bristol, PA as follows: Charles KING, age 50, born July 1850, married 21 years, born PA, parents born PA, a Farmer Elizabeth KING, wife, age 45, born Dec 1854, married 21 years, 3 children/3 living, born PA, parents born PA Horase KING, son, age 18, born Aug 1881, born PA, a Farm Laborer Jene KING, son, age 10, born Apr 1889, born PA, at School Mary J. MCGILL, mother-in-law, age 68, born Dec 1831, widow, married 48 years, 1 child/1 living, born PA, parents born PA I'm hoping to locate someone from the family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Adam, Rockhill Edward, Plumstead James, Bensalem Phbe, Plumstead Samuel, Warwick John Mowerer, Milford John Moot, Nockamixon Battle History of Bucks County The borough of Quakertown is situated at the center of an elevated elliptical plain (the basin of the swamp— the circumference being a belt of trap rock), the diameters of which are six and four miles respectively. In the immediate vicinity the owners of land, in 1715, were Morris Morris (one thousand acres), Michael Atkinson (two hundred and fifty acres), James McVaugh (one hundred acres), John Moore (two hundred acres); in 1737, John Bond (two hundred and fifty acres), John George Bachman (two hundred and thirty-four acres); in 1774, Hugh Foulke (three hundred and thirteen acres). The residents of this vicinity, in 1730, were Hugh Foulke, John Lester, John Adamson, Arnal Heacock, John Phillips, William Morris, John Richards, William Jamison, Edmund Phillips, John Ball, John Edwards, Thomas Roberts, William Nixon, Arthur Jones, and Edward Roberts. Scull’s map of 1770 locates the public house of Walter McCool at the intersection of two well-known and much-travelled roads, one leading from Bethlehem to Philadelphia, the other from Milford to the southern part of the county, and within the present limits of the borough. The Friends’ meeting-house completed the number of houses at that time, and but little change was apparent before the close of the century. But, as must inevitably occur at a place combining the advantages of cross-roads, hotel, and meeting-house, a hamlet eventually came into existence; and in 1803 it received a name and the appointment of its first postmaster in the person of William Green. For many years its growth was scarcely perceptible, and such houses as were built were not at a greater distance than necessary from the Red Lion hotel. The condition of the roads was not flattering; it is said that within the memory of persons now living the highway leading east from the village was almost impassable except in the summer months, and a dense forest lined it on either side. page 491 COUNTY AUDITOR.— 1810, William Stokes; 1811, Isaac Hicks; 1812, George Burgess; 1817, John Moore; 1818, William Long; 1819, Asher Miner; 1826, John N.
