Hi, The "Prisoners In Delaware County Prison" 1873-1917 Docket can be viewed at the Delaware County Archives: PA Delaware Co. Archives www.co.delaware.pa.us/depts/archives.html I forgot to mention that the docket is a great tool if you are trying to find out if a family member was a slave. I found it mentioned under: "Occupation Before Conviction."

Good morning lists, The Docket: "Prisoners In Delaware County Prison" 1873-1917 is an amazing find for the Delaware County Archives! Bob PLOWMAN, received a phone call from a man who found this docket in his cellar. The man stated the docket was not his and he would like to give it to the archives. Bob immediately went to the man's house & picked it up. This is an outstanding find! Three cheers for Bob!!! In all my years of research, I have never seen a document give so much detailed information about a person, let alone one that spent time in prison. Here is a list of the questions that were asked & the type of answers interred into this docket: 1) Name 2) When received 3) Age when received 4) Color: a) White b) Mulatto c) Black 5) Sex a) Male b) Female 6) Nativity (by State or Country) 7) Complexion 8) Color of Hair 9) Color of Eyes 10) Marks & Scars 11) Size of Foot 12) Height (Feet & Inches) 13) Weight when Admitted 14) Parental Relations a) Both Parents Living at 16 b) Father Died before 16 c) Mother Died before 16 d) Both Parents Died before 16 e) Parents & Guardians were Intemperate f) Home Influences were Good g) Home Influences Bad 15) Schools & College a) Attended Public School b) Attended Private School c) Age at Leaving School d) Never went to School e) Attended Sunday School Regularly f) Habitual Sabbath Breaker 16) Education a) Could Not Read or Write b) Read or Read & Write Imperfectly c) Read & Write d) Superior Education 17) Industrial Relations a) Unapprenticed b) Apprenticed & Absconded c) Apprenticed & Served Out Time d) Not Apprenticed but Served 4 or more Years at Trade 18) Occupation Before Conviction 19) Habits a) Abstinents b) Moderate Drinkers c) Occasionally Intemperate d) Intemperate 20) Civil Condition a) Never Married b) Married c) Widowed d) No. of Children Living 21) Army or Navy a) Served in Army or Navy b) In Neither 22) Crime Committed 23) Date of Sentence 24) Term of Sentence 25) Sentenced to Hard Labor 26) Number of Convictions 27) Where Imprisoned Before 28) Time Served in Prison 29) Number of Days Allowed Under Commutation Law NOTE: There are three (3) more questions but nothing is entered to answer any of them. Gee, now in Delaware Co. we know more about the "Bad Guys" than the "Good Guys." Let's take a second look in all those cellars & attics -- maybe someone will find something to tell us more about the "Good Guys"! :) Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) ************************************** Get a sneak peak of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

Hi lists, I attended the GRUBB Lecture last night at the ROBINSON House in Claymont, DE. The presentation was by Garet C. Forwood Gunther & he spoke about his foremother Harriet GRUBB (daughter of Emanuel), who m. a FORWOOD. Most of the lecture was pertaining to the FORWOOD Family but at different time the GRUBBs were mentioned. Garet did show a DVD about the FORWOOD Family but only a short mention & very few pictures of the GRUBB Family. I questioned him on how someone, if interested, could obtain the FORWOOD DVD & he gave me his card. He is going to see what arrangements he can make when he returns to CA. Regarding the GRUBB Family -- Garet is planning to have a DVD done on the GRUBBs sometime in the future. He gave many references to help anyone doing research on the GRUBB Family. I will e-mail him within the next week & hopefully receive a copy of this reference list. I will then post it on the mailing lists. :) The lecture was very interesting & delightful -- to a full house! :) Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Persifer, b ca 1796, has left a long trail of descendants, so he is my only link to his parentage. His mother was Hannah FRYER, b 8 Oct 1769, d/o Thomas FRYER and Susanna PYLE. His sister was Orpha HOOK, b ca 1800, who became my 5X ggm. Once I thought an Alban HOOK was their father, but in reviewing my data, now believe that to be wrong, so I'm just saying their father was _____ HOOK. They lived in Chester Co where Persifer and his siblings were born and I find Hannah in Delaware County in 1820 as the HOH, Orpha is living with her. Persifer is in Edgemont, and is now married. There wa a brother, Abraham, for whom I can find no data. Here are the known marriage combinations of Persifer HOOK's descendants. Persifer's children were all born in Chester County. I won't list children for which I have no data in order to keep this from being more lengthy than it has to be. Virtually all of them stayed in Wilmington except Waldron who moved to Phila. Please, please, if any one recognizes these names and has info, get in touch with me. Maybe you all have data I can't find. I'm desperate!

Grubb's Landing was one of the first shipping points in New Castle County, Delaware, and was one of the points of access to the colonies by British ships during the American Revolution. Join C. Forwood Gunther, a direct descendant of Emanuel Grubb, as he takes us through a fascinating look at this historic family's contribution to our area's rich heritage. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Hi list, I just had to post this, I found it so amazing! It gives you a glimpse of how our grandparents, g-grandparents & just maybe even our g-g-grandparents lived a 100 years ago. Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)                     THE YEAR 1907 This will boggle your mind, I know it did mine! The year is 1907. One hundred years ago. What a difference a century makes! Here are some statistics for the Year 1907 : ************************************ The average life expectancy was 47 years. Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub. Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone. There were only 8,000 cars and only 144 miles Of paved roads. The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph. The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower! The average wage in 1907 was 22 cents per hour. The average worker made between $200 and $400 per year. A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year, A dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year. More than 95 percent of all births took place at HOME. Ninety percent of all doctors had NO COLLEGE EDUCATION! Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which Were condemned in the press AND the government as "substandard." Sugar cost four cents a pound. Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen. Coffee was fifteen cents a pound. Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo. Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from Entering into their country for any reason. Five leading causes of death were: 1. Pneumonia and influenza 2. Tuberculosis 3. Diarrhea 4. Heart disease 5. Stroke The American flag had 45 stars. The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was only 30!!!! Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and ice tea Hadn't been invented yet. There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day. Two out of every 10 adults couldn't read or write. Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school. Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores. Back then pharmacists said, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health." ( Shocking? DUH! ) Eighteen percent of households had at least one full-time servant or domestic help. There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE! U.S.A.! And........... My paternal grandfather was 2 years old.   His future wife was to be born in Nov.    My g-grandfather was 46 years old, my g-grandmother was 37.  My other g-grandfather, (on my father's mother's side), was 47 and his bride was 40. Now, I just forwarded this from someone else without typing it myself, and sent it to you and others all over the United States, & Canada and maybe even possibly the world, in a matter of seconds! Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years. IT STAGGERS THE MIND, EH? ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

One of the gravestones included a carved inscription: “Rebecca C. Covens, died Aug. 9, 1877.” A local funeral home employee theorized a cemetery might have been in the area before the home was constructed around the 1920s. “Before any town or area is built up with homes and buildings, it wouldn’t have been unusual for people to pick a plot of land and say this is going to be a cemetery,” The owner said he plans to contact the Chester County Historical Society next week to find out if a cemetery was in fact in the area and if any Covens descendants are still around.

Dear Listers, I haven't posted for awhile, but have a few new names to throw at my brick wall. My gggrandfather is Patrick MAGUIRE, born in Ireland in 1847. I don't know where he was from in Ireland and don't know when he immigrated to the U.S. , or the port he arrived at. My new information came when I learned the marriage date (17 Oct 1875 to Mary Fitzhenry) and sent for the marriage register from the Phila. Archdiocese. The witness' BERNARD MAGUIRE and BRIDGET FITZHENRY. I'm assuming that Bernard is a relative. They also sent baptism records for the children and the priest that baptized their oldest child Thomas, was J.A. MAGUIRE, who was not a priest from Phila. area, and one of the sponsers was ROSE MAGUIRE. I'm hoping someone out there is a descendant or has run across Bernard or Rose and can set me on the right path. Even the name of Patrick's parents would be great. Thank you , Karen Howland

Nothing was found in the Philadelphia Enquirer or Delaware Co. papers concerning a lawsuit involving James Lenny and the US government. I did find the following concerning the contract for the shoes: May 13, 1859-Delaware County Republican CONTRACT AWARDED--We are gratified to learn that the contract for making shoes for the Navy has been awarded to our neighbor, James Lenny. This contract will afford employment and good wages, during the year, to a large number of industrious men. Our friend Lenny is a true Lecompton man and has adhered to the Administration through good and evil report, while hosts of his political associates have fallen by the way. He was still in the shoe making business in 1856 when he placed this ad: October 3, 1856-Delaware County Republican WANTED--Six or eight Journeymen Shoemakers are wanted to work on brognas. Apply to the subscriber in Chester. James Lenny Alice
