    1. [PABUCKS] Lookup requests, Johnson and Haney (Heaney, Heany)
    2. Judy
    3. I am interested in your kind offers regarding look-ups in two publications, first the Frances Wise Bucks County burials for any Johnson between the years 1750 and 1775. Second publication was mentioned earlier but I can't remember the name of same. It contained some NJ marriages, I believe late 1700's on up? I am looking for any Haney or Heany born in NJ prior to about 1790. Lucky girl I am looking for Johnsons! Obituary from Carbon County states an Elizabeth Hicks born abt. 1767, "came from Perkasie (spelled Perkesy), Montgomery County, (we all know it is Bucks but the author obviously didn't), and that she was placed with William Thomas of Hilltown. William had a large farm in Carbon, then Northampton County, he was a son of Richard Thomas and Elizabeth Walton, and William was arrested for Tory activities in 1776 in Northampton County. Elizabeth is more likely a Johnson than a Hicks, because her daughter's burial information in Carbon County states the woman's name as Elizabeth "get" (maiden name) Johnson. The Haney name comes in as Elizabeth's daughter Rachel b. 1788 in Carbon, married a Charles Haney (Heany, Heaney), about 1810. A possible son, Pierce Haney, stated in the 1880 census that his father was born in NJ. Best guess is that Charles Haney, (Heaney, Heany) was born about 1785. Brick wall of all time! Any thoughts most appreciated! Judy McElderry
