I've read that Scots Irish also had naming patterns. Does anyone know if they were similar to the German patterns? That might help me solve some mysteries. This site helps explain why my German great grandfather John Peter MOSSHAMMER and his brother John Matthew had the same first name, and how confusing that has been to genealogists in the family. (They settled in Indiana, not PA).

On Monday, my father, born in his grandparents farmhouse about ¼ mi from Linden Hall, will turn 92 and I know he is going to be very happy to see these pictures, even if we are in CA and sure don't have a PA or Centre Co. library card.

>From "Where To Go & Placenames of Centre Co." : "Coleville, a town on Buffalo Run, Spring Twp., just outside the western boundary of Bellefonte, was laid out in March, 1869, by John COLE, who purchased several acres of land from the W.A. THOMAS estate. Ten or so houses were built that year. Today (1969) there are 100 or more houses and the population is estimated at approximately 700. Coleville is principally an industrial town with the National Gypsum Co. plant several miles further west in Buffalo Valley and the WARNER Co. plant at its eastern limits. The shops of the Bellefonte Central Railroad are located here." Regards, Paul
