In the 1800 Chester County census it lists Harlman, Conrad -- (Chester -- Pen). Do any of you know what the Pen stands for? It can not be Penn Twp as that does not happen until 1807. Could it be Pennsbury Twp? Thanks very much for your help, Thom Harleman mrtwh@juno.com

Try going directly here. This is the index, then just select the letter. http://courses.wcupa.edu/jones/his480/deaths/

Hi. I was just trying to use the death index. I can get into the main web page fine, but am having problems getting to the index pages. When trying to go to D (or any of the files) I get a "File Not Found - The requested URL /jones/his480/deaths\rod-d.htm was not found on this server." Is anyone else experiencing this? Lisa Marie Raker mailto:raker@udel.edu

Thanks to everyone who shared their knowledge with me both publicly and privately on Emmanuel Lutheran Church! Your guidance is much appreciated! Rebecca

Fortunately I had no problems accessing the death index from the original URL.

Some people have had trouble getting to the Riggtown History Homepage website I suggested.

Hi everyone, I just foulnd out that I am related to the CARR family. John LEE married Sarah CARR Mar 1748/49 at Falls MM, Bucks Co., PA. Both John & Sarah died leaving Daniel, Deborah, Merba, John & Mary. John died in 1759 and Sarah in 1757. They are both reported to be buried at Radner MM burying ground. I am assuming that my CARR family were Friends based on the marriage record, but I have no proof as of yet. Is anyone else researching the CARR family? Are you familiar with this branch? Looking forward to your reply. Regards, Debbie :-)

This was posted on another county's list today. Hope it helps. Bobbi Robert ---------- Maybe this will help someone out.

Hi List: Does anyone know where I can get a list of Chester County soldiers in the War of 1812? It is believed that my gggg-grandfather William Brown may have served. Thank you, all information is greatly appreciated. Josh

I just want to say thank you to all the great people on this list for helping me with Radnor and possibly the Monthly Meetings info. Nancy, the story about 'Mad' Anthony Wayne was great and really believable! Anyone going out tonight to Radnor to take a picure at midnight?!! Happy Halloween!! Yes, Karen, if you can look for anything with SAVAGE, I would surely appreciate it. I also found a website for The Friends Historical Library, Swarthmore College which if you don't have, you might want to save: <<http://www.swarthmore.edu/Library/friends/index.html>> It cointains more than 42,000 books, and 9,000 volumes of original meting records. The library's goal is to collect all books about or by Quakers and to preserve unpublished Quaker materials regardless of their format (manuscripts, photographs, phamphlets,family papers, and journals of Quaker ministers, etc.). Open to public and use of library is free. An email address is: friends@swarthmore.edu It's Geneaology Policy site is: <<http:www.swarthmore.edu/Library/friends/Geneal.html>> In Birmingham AL, Diana

This is a good site to put your old pictures on.. AND it is user friendly too. www.ancientfaces.com I have put a lot of pictures in there... Wilma Fleming Haynes gencon@harborside.com

Thank you to the person that posted the information concerning the Chester County Census material available on the web. Does anyone know of such a site for Montgomery County?

The two sites below reprint old family histories.  If you buy a book they send you a catalog free. You can probably order the catalog separately.  The catalogs are interesting to read. http://www.willowbendbooks.com/default.asp http://www.higginsonbooks.com/ http://www.higginsonbooks.com/surnameb.htm  <surname search> The sites below often have old family books and out of print history books available to search. They sometimes refer you to the sites above. Beware of major booksellers who offer family books.  I believe their practice is to look up the books on these sites and then offer them with a markup. http://www.addall.com/Used/ http://www.bibliofind.com http://www.bookfinder.com/

Many of you have asked me for another ghost story after last year's, so here's one for you all. Happy Hallowe'en! Several recent posts on Radnor Township brings to mind the lovely 1718 St. David's Episcopal Church on Valley Forge Road. The colonial church is only used for special occasions now, as the congregation has outgrown it and has a new larger building across the road. Spread out around the old edifice is a burial ground so picturesque that many painters record it and poets have praised it. But things are not always quiet here. Noted parishioner General Anthony Wayne is buried here, but he supposedly has been seen roaming the graveyard at midnight, [particularly on Hallowe'en and New Year's Eve (a celebration he was devoted to in life). Perhaps I should say more accurately only part of him is buried here, and the tale of his burial explains why he may not rest easy. General Wayne died Dec. 15, 1796 on the NW frontier, having just successfully completed a campaign to subdue the Ohio tribes. He started for home, but died en route and was buried with full military honors at the base of the flagpole at Fort Erie, PA. Several years passed and the Order of the Cincinnati, formed of veteran Rev War officers, offered to erect a suitable monument to the hero at his home church of St. David's if the family would bring his body back for reinterrment. The Wayne family decided this would be fitting, and his son traveled by horse and cart along very primitive trails to the western PA frontier to bring the general home. Arriving at Fort Erie during the hot summer, the son was appalled to discover that the general was quite intact upon disinterrment, not just the expected skeleton. It was impossible to transport such a corpse, unenbalmed and unrefrigerated, for several weeks during the hot summer. So, Anthony Wayne was boiled down, the fleshy remains reinterred and his son is reported to have put the skeleton in a coffin and started back to Radnor. Legend says it was a rough trip, with the coffin falling off the wagon several times; the bones had to be regathered and reloaded and some believe that parts of Anthony were inadvertently left along the way and sheep bones were mistakenly gathered instead. The family reburied the general with pomp and circumstance, military parade and a gathering of several thousand respectful citizens. The Order of the Cincinnati placed a Bunker Hill type monument on the grave, which can still be seen today and its elaborate praises read. But not all of Anthony is there and many believe that he roams restlessly because he has no one place he belongs. For the last 15 years, people with cameras and sound recording equipment have tried to prove his ghost exists by waiting at his grave, particularly at midnight on Hallowe'en and New Year's. No one has been able to use their equipment though, as it mysteriously breaks down shortly before midnight, but can work again a half hour later. Many claim to have seen him and in the last few years local children have begun to lay some of their candy trick-or-treats on his grave to comfort him. Happy Hallowe'en! Thy friend, Nancy Webster

I sent this message last night, but it bounced back because I typed an underline instead of a hyphen before the L. So, here goes again! Radnor was part of the Welsh Tract, as set aside by William Penn, and an original township in Chester County; became part of Delaware County, PA after the 1789 split. So you may need to look at records in both courthouses. Radnor still is thriving in northeast Delaware County and is a desirable address as part of Philadelphia's famed "Main Line." There are several early places of worship which are still active congregations today. Radnor Friends Meeting, vital but small in comparison to surrounding Meetings, has its records stored on microfilm at the Friends Historical Library, Swarthmore College and also at the Quaker Collection, Haverford College. Both sites are accessible on the Web. Radnor has a lovely 1718 Episcopal Church, St. David's (of course, this is Welsh country), which was the home church for Anthony Wayne. Also there is an early 18th century Welsh Baptist church and one of the first Methodist churches in the region. Radnor has a fine township historical society, see <<http://waynepa.com/historic.htm>> It was a common regional migration pattern for Welsh from the eastern area of the Welsh Tract to move up "the Great Valley" ( runs roughly from Valley Forge area to just east of Reading, PA) northwest to Uwchlan, Canaervon or Coventry Townships. Happy hunting! Thy friend, Nancy Webster
