Hello, I will begin the New Year by asking for help with some of my dead ends. One of the shortest lines in my whole family tree is that of my grandmother, Sarah Ida HIMES. My father filled out her death certificate, and named her parents as Henry HIMES and Amelia A. STEWART. Henry HIMES was born about 1835, the son of David HIMES and wife Elizabeth. This couple are my HIMES brick wall. They were married before 1833, probably in Chester County, because they appear in the 1840 census for W. Vincent Township. The 1850, 1860, and 1870 census place them in Caernarvon Township, Berks County. They died just before the 1880 census, and are both buried in Bethel Evangelical Cemetery, 1 mi. S. of Plowville at Lilly Rd. in Robeson Twp, Berks County. Based on the 1840 census, I feel they were both born and married in or near W. Vincent Township, Chester County. I am looking for birth and marriage records there, in order to identify their parents. Per the census, both were born about 1805. My STEWART line is equally short. Amelia A. STEWART was born 6/2/1840, the daughter of James STEWART and wife Catharine. This couple are my STEWART brick wall. They were also probably born and married in Chester County. They appear in the 1840 census for W. Fallowfield Township, Chester County. By 1850 they were in Caernarvon Township, Berks County. James died before the 1860 census, which shows the widow, Catharine, in Caernarvon Twp, Berks County. Based on the 1840 census, I feel they were both born and married in or near W. Fallowfield Township, Chester County. I am looking for birth and marriage records there, in order to identify their parents. Per the census, both were born about 1806. To summarize, I am looking for birth and marriage records of: James STEWART, b. abt. 1806, probably in W. Fallowfield Twp, Chester County Catharine (Unknown), b. abt. 1806, probably in W. Fallowfield Twp, Chester County Married btw. 1825 and 1835, probably in W. Fallowfield Twp, Chester County Amelia A. STEWART, b. 6/2/1840, probably in W. Fallowfield Twp, Chester County David HIMES, b. abt. 1805, probably in W. Vincent Twp, Chester County Elizabeth (Unknown), b. abt. 1805, probably in W. Vincent Twp, Chester County Married btw. 1825 and 1833, b. probably in W. Vincent Twp, Chester County Amelia A. STEWART, b. 6/2/1840, probably in W. Vincent Twp, Chester County I would appreciate hearing from anyone acquainted with any of these families. Bruce Fosnocht
