Sandra< Sandra, Thanks. I have a will dated 1799 by Martin Urner, Coventry where he lists his daughter Elizabeth Titlow--so, it must be this one that married Abraham. This helps me know how the Titlows got to Lancaster Cty. Obviously, Abraham was from Coventry, married Elizabeth Urner and moved to Lancaster. I wonder who his father might have been. Abraham Titlow who was in Salford, Montgomery in 1734 had a son named Abraham who was born circa 1731 but my records have him married to an Anna Clara? and living in Bucks County. Henry Titlow (b 1719 and buried at Brownsback) had a son Abraham who was married to Catherine Scholl. So, this leaves the possibility of Abraham who married Elizabet Urner (like my ancestor David Titlow) being theson of George Titlo---? I would love to get the information on George's family. Thanks again, Ray

This, from F&C; Abraham Titlow, of Lancaster County, was married to Elizabeth Urner, daughter of Martin Urner, the second preacher and bishop of the Coventry Brethern's Church from 1755 to 1799.

Hello, I think I have found an elusive BOWEN connection..... A year or so ago, a cousin mailed me a packet of "This and That" notes she had collected on BOWEN and some allied lines in the Culpeper environs. Most entries were notes and anecdotes that older, now deceased, relations had passed on to her. I know that the Bowen surname is Welsh (and a couple of notes refer to James' "Welsh temper") but I had been advised that they came from other states previous to settling in VA....possibly Pennsylvania, as there were other Bowens in Augusta and Boutetort Co that came from PA and it was thought that the Culpeper Bowens were related to them (and I still have no definite proof of the connections to other VA Bowen lines: King George/Old Rappahannock, Augusta, Boutetort....) So, one of the "This and That' notes I have kept in mind as I search for when my Bowen line came to Culpeper. It relates that a "Major Bowen" came to Culpeper County during the Civil War and that he was the son of the brother of James Bowen (James Bowen, b. 1790, in Culpeper?, d. 1870; mrd. Ann T. Foushee. I presently only list one brother for James: Joseph Bowen who mrd. Sally Nalle......I don't know if Joseph and Sally had any children - does anyone on this list know? ) and that he gave "aunt Tie Bowen" (Vashti Catherine Bowen, a granddaughter to James Bowen) "...a golden ring." The note doesn't say WHERE Major Bowen came from..... Recently, a Jett researcher, Bob Kammen, posted a great URL for Cornell University's "Making of America" special collection and I have enjoyed it immensely (It's at http://cdl.library.cornell.edu/moa/index.html - have fun!) While searching for Bowen & Culpeper, I get a hit from the book "The war of the rebellion: a compilation of the official records of the Union and Confederate armies. / Series 1 - Volume 29 (Part I)" published in 1890. Pages 756/7 has a journal report from "Major Edward R. Bowen, One hundred and fourteenth Pennsylvania Infantry." He lists his HDQRS as "...Brandy Station, A. and A. R. R., Va., Dec. 6, 1863...marching up Mine Run, some distance beyond Robertson's Tavern....on the 29th ultimo....I rejoined the brigade in the woods at my right...marching at dark to the plank road and on that to Culpeper's crossing on the Rapidan, which place we reached at daylight...we moved a short distance...when we marched to Brandy Station and went into our former camp, a detail of 75 men and 3 officers....am happy to be able to report no casualties in my regiment...E. R. Bowen, Major, Commanding 114th Pennsylvania Volunteers." There are also other references to the Bowen home being used by some officers and troops.....There is a Bowen home in Brandy, right behind what is known as Bailey's Store, just 1/8 of a mile from the RR tracks and Station! My father was born there in 1919. Does the fact that this Major Edward R. Bowen commanded a Pennsylvania unit (the 114th) indicate he was from Pennsylvania? I know many of the enlisted folks of the Civil War in my Virginia lines all seemed to belong to Virginia units/companies....but would it work similarly for officers fo that era? Here are 2 census citations for an Edward Bowen in 1850 in PA: Bowen, Edward PA Armstrong Freeport Township 1850 749 119 (Labourer, age 46, val of RE = $500, b, PA) Bowen, Edward PA Chester Tredyffrin Township 1850 764 363 (Laborer, age 39, val of RE = $200, b. PA) So, if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would love to hear them! Thanks for any help or information anyone may be able to share.....

I am trying to track down my Pennsylvania ancestors. Henry COOK (b. 1825, d. 1912) married Mary HOLLOWBUSH (or Hollabush) on about 11-27-1851 in a Church of the Brethren in Chester County, PA. I learned just this week that Henry's father is Samuel COOK, who married Hannah REIFSNYDER. I learned this by obtaining a copy of Henry's death certificate. The only other information given about Samuel and Hannah is that they were both born in Prussia. The information on Henry's death certificate came from his son, John Wilson Cook, I, so I believe it is highly credible. Does anyone have Samuel and Hannah COOK in their tree, or know of any other trees having these names? Does anyone know how I can get any information about the Chester County congregation of the Church of the Brethren? I have posted an inquiry on the Brethren's mailing list, as well. I've also reviewed their web site, but can't find any information on this congregation. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Hi, all, I am trying to locate any information on Our Lady of Hope Cemetery which I believe is in Frazer Township. I believe my grandmother Anna CAMBAL is buried there. I am a bit confused as one search engine places Frazer Township in Chester, but when I search on the county, I come up empty. Any information or clarification is greatly appreciated. Regards, Cathy Cambal-Hayward

Is anyone on the list familiar with the Titlow family that lived in Coventry and in Vincent Townships in the early 1800's. My ancestor David Titlow ( 1754-1837)was married to Elizabeth Stauffer. They were members of the Coventry Brethren Church and are buried at that cemetery. There was a Henry Titlow born 1719 and buried at the Brownback cemetery. This may have been the uncle to David. There was a George Titlow on the tax rolls in the 1760's that may have been the brother of Henry and father of David but I can find little about him. I believe these Titlow's are descended from Abraham Titlow who was a land owner in Salford, Montgomery County in 1734. Any information on the Titlow family would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ray

I'm searching for Shadrack MONTGOMERY, b 26 Jan 1791. According to his obit he was born in Chester Co, PA. Died 18 Oct 1871; Van Buren Twp., Shelby Co. Ohio. I know nothing of Shadrack's parents beyond that his mother remarried (don't know if in PA or OH). She married a gentleman named SPRINGER. Again no given name. Shadrack was living in OH prior to the War of 1812. He served several tours of duty in the war both in the Ohio militia and in the regular army (using the name of MONTGOMERY as well as SPRINGER). He was captured by the British at Detroit and was forced to march to Fort Niagara where he was later paroled. He has an extensive pension file which indicates that he married Isabella McCULLOUGH in Madison Co. OH on 07 Sept 1816. Does anyone have any knowledge of Shadrack's parents or siblings or confirmation that he was born in Chester Co. PA? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Harold Lefevre HELefevre@aol.com

This was the entire email to my own email address; "I am interested in the surname WHITE, with given names of: Joseph, John &/or Josiah before 1796." Read that and tell me how could anyone could know what was wanted, or from where? This happens all the time When it does, I then have to send an email, explaining that there is insufficient information to do the lookup, and what is needed. Many I know simply disregard incomplete queries such as this, but I hate to do that...so, PLEASE everybody, when you place a query anywhere, to me or to someone else, keep in mind that the we don't know you from Adam, haven't the slightest idea what county or state you are researching in, etc....we know nothing about you and your research but what you tell us, so give everything needed to help you...name, applicable dates ( aprox. ones if you don't know the actual ones), if you're wanting a birth, death, marriage, will, whatever), and include the geographic area! It is also helpful if you will put the name of the CD or book you wish your lookup done from in the subject slot. That way I can tell just which book to get down......

Looking for information on both the birth & death of William PURDY (PERDUE)--I seem to have all the information in between: * came to Chester Co, PA, USA from County Antrim, Ireland (he had a certificate from the Ballynacree MM dated the 23rd of February 1737 and was accepted into the Bradford MM during the meeting of April 15 1738) * married Susanna PIM Headin, a widow, on November 25, 1747 (she was born in Lackah, Queens, Leinster, Ireland on August 24, 1707, the daughter of Moses PIM & Ann RAPER) * together, they had two sons: Folliard Ridge PURDUE, who moved to Philadelphia and Mentor Pim PERDUE who later moved to Bedford County, VA (each one seemed to take a different spelling of their last name per future records) * William show up on the tax lists of Chester County from 1749-1765. He also apparently did not live the straight & proper life as per the Bradford MM records throughout 1766, a complaint was raised against him for drinking liquor to excess & swearing. Here are my questions: * I don't have any information on the location & date of his birth--was it in Ireland or in England as one theory goes (the grandson of a William PARDOE from Worcester, England, who bought land in Pennsylvania from William Penn in 1681 that my William eventually settled on). There's more information available if anyone is interested. * what are the names of his parents? Did he have any siblings? * what was the result of the complaint lodged against him by the Bradford MM? What happened to him after 1766? * where & when did he die (have not found any information, i.e., wills, cemeteries, etc.)? Where & when did his wife Susanna die? If anyone has answers to any of my questions, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Thanks. John Perdue Brookfield (Milwaukee), WI USA

About two years ago, a list I was on received over 400 emails one night. Seems a subscriber had gone on vacation and put an autoresponse in place. Every time a message came in the autoresponder sent a note back saying he was out. As the messages were returned to his system from the list, the autoresponder would send out another response to the previous response. The list manager finally just had to unsubscribe the fellow. As the asying goes, "stuff happens!" I've been into computers for more than 30 yrs. I used to state that computers were logical. Then I realized humans build computers and some of our illogical patterns seem to rub off on the durn things. As my kids would say, "Take a chill pill." Life's too short to worry about a bunch of messages coming in. In my case that is close to 1000 a day for all the lists I'm on. Delete! Delete! Delete! Hope everyone is having a great summer and digging up lots of ancestors. Bill Boyle

Would the person who sent the following message please contact me, I have some info on the following. I lost the address Sorry Christine, I can't help with your question, specifically. My ancestor's brother John Titlow of Coventry, Chester Cty., Pa ( within a mile of eastern Berks Cty) was married to Mary Amole, daughter of John Amole and Elizabeth Klein. They are buried at the Coventry Brethren Graveyard ( Urner's Cemetery) in North Coventry, Pa (just south of Pottstown--Pottsville?). John Titlow and Mary Amole were married 28 Dec 1833, so she was born around 1803-1810. I have a listing of burials at that cemetery. Keep in mind they were all Brethren/ Dunkards/ German Baptists. Several Klein's born circa 1800. Is this the same religion and time period? Ray ? Thanks Author of "HOUCK FAMILY TREE" Bob Houck
