Wilma, In regards to your copies of the "DAVIS-ADAMS Manuscript by Bell [SHANK] CADMUS" pages, I dont have access to those pages you are looking for but I have a question. The DAVIS family in this book is of interest, maybe. Right now any DAVIS families are while Im trying to find information on my gr gr grandmother's family. My gr gr great grandmother was Annie E. DAVIS (b. 1862) married Amos C. MAXWELL(b.1853 d. 1922) before 1879 as they had their first child in 1880. I dont have a date of death for Annie. She had her last child in 1899 and Amos was a widower by the Census of 1900 (taken in June 1900). So Im assuming Annie died between April of 1899 and prior to the Cenus which was dated as June 1900 so it could have actually been taken sooner that year. I have been trying to find parents for Annie. On the 1880 census Annie went by Ann. Very weird thing, In 1880 Ann enumerated as Ann MAXWELL with her new daughter Sadie (bJan1880). Amos enumerated with the family of Alfred RUTH. I dont know the relationship between him and the RUTH family. He was working on their farm, I believe. So I dont know if he was away most of the week working and returned on weekends or not. Maybe due to lack of transportation because they were not that far away from each other. The other weird thing, She was married with a child and using MAXWELL and he was enumerated as SINGLE. Now since the information was given by probably the RUTH family, this could be an error on the information given, or something assumed by the enumerator since Amos was listed as living there. Of course there is always the possibility that the marriage came after the child which was certainly more rare for that era than it is now. So, I have been trying to go backwards from Annie to find her parents, siblings, grandparents, etc to work on completing her lines. In additions to Annie being a DAVIS, I have 3 other Davis Lines that have joined our families. I would like to see if they will someday be connected to any other DAVIS lines. I have Frederick DAVIS, married to Mary JONES sometime in the early 1950's .....Then I have Albert DAVIS marrried to Helen Marie PORTER probably in the 1950's too,.............And Norman DAVIS married to Veronica Gebhart also in the 1950's or so. I dont have a lot on their parents or back before them because I haven't searched them much. Frederick married my dad's cousin Mary. Albert's granddaughter is my step daughter. Norman's son was married to my sister at one time, they are divorced now. Annie is my gr gr grandmother. In case you have any of the DAVIS families in your book (the first three you might not, they were born near the time the book that you have was published and I dont have their parents yet. Possibly a Millard for Frederick but Im not sure. So in case any of this fits, here are the children's names from Annie & Amos: Sadie b 1880 Walter James (sometimes used James Walter) b 1882 Hattie b 1885 Harvey b1888 Joseph b. 1890 Rachel b. 1894 Naomi Marion b 1895 Elsie May b 1889 Would you be willing to let me know if any of my DAVIS families are in your copies of the manuscript you have on DAVIS. Thanks for your time. Take care. Vickie

Good morning - First I am sorry if you get this message more than once - I am sending it out to the lists that I believe are interested in the DAVIS - ADAMS names. I have the manuscript by Bell [Shank] Cadmus - she wrote it in 1932 - Titled - DAVIS - ADAMS GENEALOGY BUT- I am missing the following pages - and wouldn't you just know it - one of those pages is where my 2nd gr grandfather is -- JOSHUA 3) DAVIS born 1764 at Charlestown, Chester, PA - the s/o Llewellyn 2) 1720-1794 and Magdalene 3) [DAVIS] DAVIS 1732-1808. My JOSHUA was married twice and I am trying to find out who his 1/wf Miss ANDERSON was - I also have 4 BIG sheets full of genealogy - by I don't know who - that says "JOSHUA was married twice - first a Miss ANDERSON for who Miss Sahlor tells me was my great grandfather Anderson's sister - his second wife was Hannah ADAMS." The person writing the above, never said who her great grandfather was - DRAT!! If I can locate the below pages - I probably will know who Miss ANDERSON was and find out more about my 2nd gr grandfather - JOSHUA DAVIS. The missing pages are: pgs - 31 to 36 pg - 39 pg- 42 I have pg 41 which at the bottom starts to tell about JOSHUA & then no pg 42- pgs - 58 to 62 Thank you so very much Wilma Fleming Haynes [email protected]

Hi, I seek information about the GREGORY family - particularly the family tree itself, even more than its history. I see tie-ins to the FITZGERALD family, and wish to see if this can make some FITZGERALD connections for me. Thanks! Vince Summers p.s. this is circa early 1700's to mid 1700's

SNITZ TOO MUCH FOR GOATS DIGESTIVE APPARATUS Although he could drink beer and chew tobacco, a pet billy goat belonging to Lewis HEIST, of Reading, was up against it when he ate a peck of dried "apple snitz" and death resulted. SHOT IN THE WRIST DURING A FIGHT During an altercation on Ford street bridge, at Norristown, John BRUSKI was shot in the wrist by a Polander, who escaped. CONSTABLE STOPS FIGHT Constable Clement SCHLICHER, of East Greenville, prevented a fight in an alley in the borough of East Greenville, last Friday evening, in which one of the participants was yielding a revolver. He heard a noise in the alley back of W.O. BIELER's butchering establishment and he walked up the where it came from. He found two hoboes quarrelling. He told them to move on and quit their noise, when one of them raised his arm as though he would strike at Mr. SCHLICHER, when he knocked something out of the man's hand. He heard something drop on the frozen ground and after he had made the men move on, he lit a match and he was amazed to find a thirty-two calibre revolver with five loads in it. He then followed the hoboes but could not come near them any more for they ran after they were relieved of the revolver. FELL INTO MAN HOLE AND WANTS TO SUE BOROUGH James GORDON, a contortionist, threatens to sue the borough of Bridgeport for damages for falling into a hole on the pavement in Bridgeport in trying to avoid a dog fight. In his overture to Town Council for an amicable adjustment of the trouble, he alleges that by the fall he sustained injuries that rendered him unable to accept an offer of $25 a week as a contortionist, and is still aflicted. TROLLEY CONDUCTOR HURT BY FLYING SPARKS William J. HOCH, a trolley conductor on the Allentown and Reading Line met with a painful accident at Kutztown. He went on the rear of the car to put the trolley on the wire, which had come off, and held it while the car was in motion. Firey sparks flew in all directions and some entered his eyes. He was rendered almost totally blind. His sight is improving and he expects in course of a week to resume his duties.

SELLS ALMOST A THOUSAND PRETZELS A DAY John REICHSTETTER, aged 15, is the champion pretzel seller of Reading, and disposes of from 800 to 1000 every day in the streets. WOMAN DOCTOR DEAD Mrs. Washington LEIDY, of New Hanover Township who was buried on Saturday was a woman who was known not only in the community in which she lived, but also throughout Eastern Pennsylvania and even in New York State. She was known as one who could cure hydrophobia, and she will be mourned by many who, through her kindly acts were saved from that frightful and agonizing death that follows the dreadful malady-hydrophobia. The cure she administered was known to herself only during her lifetime. Shortly before her death she passed the secret to her eldest and only daughter, in the same manner that she, the eldest daughter of her family, had received it from her mother. The remedy that Mrs. LEIDY employed and which was never known to fail, even in the most virulent cases of hydrophobia that she was called upon to attend, is a secret that has been with the maternal side of her family for many generations, and was in each case handed down to the eldest daughter. The cases of rabies that Mrs. LEIDY cured during her lifetime were many. The patients came from many points in Pennsylvania and New York and all were healed. DEAD MAN HAD MONEY TIED ABOUT HIS LEGS Antiona DELELLO, an Italian who was killed on the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad near Pottstown last week had money underneath his clothing. He had $35 in bills tied tightly to his leg. It was also ascertained that he had a trunk neatly packed full of new clothes which he contemplated taking with him to his native country shortly. He wanted to return to visit his wife and children and they are anxiously awaiting his home coming. His body was buried in the Catholic cemetery at Pottstown. SECURED A NEW POSITION IN POTTSTOWN Irwin K. COPE, who has been connected with the Ellis Mills store, at Pottstown for some time, assumed a new position on Monday in the hardware store of J. Fegely & Son. He took Howard W. GILBERT's position as traveling salesman. Mr. COPE formerly was a clerk in Horace ROHN's general store at Perkiomenville. FORFEITED $1000 BAIL Judge ERMENTROUT, at Reading, has signed a decree of distribution of the largest forfeiture of bail that ever took place in Berks county. It is $1,000. Forfeiture of bail is a frequent occurrence, but it seldom amounts to more than several hundred dollars. Over a year ago John WELLBANK was arrested for policy selling. He gave $1,000 bail for court, but was not present when the case was called and his bail was forfeited. John ROURKE, his bondsman, paid the money to District Attorney WAGNER, and Judge ERMENTROUT now makes this distribution: Costs of the suit to recover the money, $18; costs of WELLBANK's arrest, $7; costs in connection with the trial, $32.42. This leaves a balance of $944.58. Half of this goes into the county treasury and the other half, $472.29 to the Berks Law Library Association. CLOTHING FIRM WILL ENLARGE STORE The clothing firm of SHANKWEILER & LEHR, at Seventh and Hamilton streets, Allentown, is making changes and contemplating alteratiens which when finished will make their establishment one of the finest and largest in the Lehigh Valley.

The basement will be converted into a store room. A large entrance will be placed on Hamilton Street and the others will be closed up. A seven foot vestibule will be a new feature. The store room proper will be extented twelve feet, and numerous other interior improvements will be made. The large awnings on Hamilton and Seventh streets will also be removed. Work will be started this month and when the Messrs. SHANKWEILER and LEHR are finished, they will be better enabled to display their goods to greater advantage. TEACHERS HOME QUARANTINED AT ALLENTOWN Mrs. Horace B. FENSTERMACHER, wife of a teacher in the Skippack grammer school, who had been suffering with a sore throat for several days, was said to be suffering from diphtheria. Her home has been quarantined. SIXTY YEAR OLD WOMAN COMMITS SUICIDE Phoebe Ann MAUGER, 60 years old, committed suicide at the home of her brother, Sylvester MAUGER, in Warwick township, Chester county, by taking paris green.

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - Mach 12, 1904 TEAMS COLLIDE Peter MILLER, a farmer residing between Bally and Dale, Berks county, met with an accident on Saturday evening, while he was on his return trip from delivering apples in Pennsburg. At the junction of Dotts and Main streets, he drove into the hay flat of Jefferson BITTING, in charge of Harry R. BREY. Mr. MILLER did not notice the team coming as it was too dark. He was thrown from his wagon and received an ugly scalp wound. His horses ran away towards the railroad and followed it to the Pennsburg cemetery, there they turned up the street and were caught by William HARING. Mr. MILLER's express wagon was badly wrecked and one of the horses was severely cut about the legs. George BOYER, of Pennsburg, later conveyed Mr. MILLER to his home, leading the horses after the team. The wagon was so badly wrecked that it had to be removed to a repair shop. WILL DEMONSTRATE SPRAYING OF FRUIT TREES Dr. John H. FUNK, of Boyertown, the well known horticulturist will give a field demonstration on March 16, on spraying fruit trees with a formula of lime, sulphur and salt to destroy the San Jose scales which have badly infested the trees in the orchards of Berks county. Illustrations will also be given how to check other diseases and insects of fruit and fruit trees. HORSE SMASHES TWENTY-THREE DOZEN OF EGGS The horse of John R. HUNSICKER, of Lederachville ran away while he was on his way to market. The animal became scared from the noise of an artesian well boring machine at Butcher Henry CLEMENs' place. He broke the shafts and in his efforts to get away he smashed twenty-three dozen of eggs. Mr. HUNSICKER received slight injuries. CHARITY SEEKER COMES TO GRIEF John HACKLEY, an impostor who gave his name as James MURPHY, was arrested at Norristown for begging. He had in his possession a self written letter, "To whom it may concern" and with this he solicited charity on the plea of being unable to work because of a recent illness of pneumonia. He admitted that he thus averaged $2.50 a day since December. The Burgers sentenced him to jail for thirty days. THIEVES STEAL CORN AT CHESTNUT HILL Thieves entered the granary of Granville SCHAEFFER, of Chestnut Hill, one night last week, filled a bag of corn and carried it away. Mr. SCHAEFFER has since oiled and loaded his old flint-lock, with which he vows will give the culprit a warm reception should he call again. A CYCLONIC OYSTER OPENER Bigler HUFFERT, proprietor of the Astoria saloon at Allentown, is a cyclonic oyster opener. He being capable of unshelling 100 primes in six minutes.

LOAD OF HAY ON FIRE Nathan WAMBOLD, teamster for Farmer James GREEN, of Almont, near Tylersport, had an exciting experience on Tuesday, while he was unloading a load of hay at the press of A. KOOKER, of Sellersville. Sparks from a freight engine on the Reading Railroad set fire to the load. The horses were still hitched to the wagon and were saved with difficulty. The quick action of the fire company saved the greater part of the wagon and also the hay press for it looked as though the building would be ignited. The burning mass was heroically pulled away from the building to save it. It is claimed that several serious fires have narrowly been averted by the careless throwing of hot cinders by engineers on the railroad while passing through the borough. WILL PREACH AT SEMINARY The Rev. D.K. LAUDENSLAGER, pastor of the Reformed congregations at Worcester and Kulpsville, will preach in the Seminary chapel on Sunday night, March 13th, at seven o'clock.

Mrs. PANNEPACKER had a small stove in use in a room up-stairs and some clothing hanging nearby was ignited from the heat of the stove. Had not her son Leo just come to the scene, who quickly gave the alarm, the house would have been destroyed, as the flames had already gained considerable headway. FIVE MOURNERS' RARE LONGEVITY The funeral of Mrs. Mary DIGLEY, aged 86 years, at Limerick Square, was remarkable for the attendance of aged brothers and sisters of the deceased. They were Enos NACE, 90 years old, of Sellersville; John NACE, aged 85, of Trappe; Paul NACE, aged 76, of Ironbridge; Mrs. BOSS, of Blue Bell, 83 years of age. Mrs. DIGLEY's husband survives at the age of 86 years. RED HILL HOTEL TO BE ENLARGED Dr. Jesse Z.

The roof will be taked off and a new one of the French design put thereon. PRESENTED BELL TO CHURCH Ellis H. SOUDER, of the firm of Landis & Co., of Souderton, presented the Zwingli Reformed church of that town with a 1400 pound bell. This was the first church bell in the town and the members of the congregation compliment themselves on this fact. The doner of the bell is a member of the church. A NEEDLE COST A MAN HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS For three years J.C. DUNBAR, of Wilkesbarre, treated his right arm for rheumatism, and medical men were puzzled at the change in the base of trouble. Last Friday the pain shifted to the tip of one of his fingers, and he found a section of a needle half an inch in length protruding. He has spent $200 for treatment and medicines.

Hi All - Most on this list probably already know this, but for the benefit of any new listers (like me), and maybe Janice, in her quest for all churches -- I'd like to share what I stumbled on. The New Castle Co., DE mail list has much info on Chester Co., PA folks. Info from NCC says many folks from PA attended the MM's in that county. Be sure and check there for your folks. I found the archives of NCC very informative and I only did a surname specific search. Terri - in what's promising to be one of those especially beautiful Seattle days.

Sorry, I did a major typo on my post re: CLINTON surname.....the date for Archibald CLINTON's will was in 1746, NOT 1846.... thanks for your patience with my typing!! Janice

I *just* found (thanks to a university history class) some family members who are buried in West Chester. Here is the reference: http://courses.wcupa.edu/jones/his480/deaths/fbs1a.htm Names beginning with A-G (alphabetic sort) of people buried in: Friends Burial Society Cemetery 404 Rosedale Avenue, West Chester PA 19382. Complied by Jim Jones and the students of HIS480 (spring 1995) at West Chester University of Pennsylvania Ayres, Bucher 1869/11/18 1945/11/16 76 Ayres, May Harlan 1870/08/29 1944/03/06 74 Now I don't know if West Chester is in Chester County, but it looks a bit like it from my GOOGLE lookup. If it is really Philadelphia, as I initially expected, please forgive me and steer me right... If it is Chester County, though, I would ask if anyone would be close enough to snap some photos (perhaps digital camera for your convenience)? This gives me hopes I may find some living descendants... Thanks! Vince Summers

Subject: Cemeteries My Chapman ancestors settled in Chester/Delaware County ca 1743 (Chichester Twp). Some of them are buried there...only question is I am a bit confused about the name of the cemetery. One of my sources has George and Mary Chapman (who died 1757, 1783) buried in St. Martin's Episcopal Church Yard in Marcus Hook; another source lists the same couple in Middletown Graveyard (per Vol 2 of "Early Church Records of Delaware Co., PA"). Can anyone clear up this confusion for me? Thanks much. Pat Pulasky

Hi, listers, I have been working on a different surname since joining this list but thought I would see if there is anyone researching the CLINTON surname. My 4xgrandfather, James CLINTON was b. 1761 in New London Twnship, Chester Co., PA. In 1769 his family removed to York Dist., SC, where he fought in the RW. All info re: his birthdate and place come from his RW pension file, but he does not name his father. We think his father is also a James, who is listed in the 1846 will of Archibald CLINTON, of London Britain Twnship, Chester Co. Would love to hear from anyone researching this surname. best, Janice
