Good morning lists, Does anyone have access to the "Delaware County American " (newspaper), published in Media, PA? I'm interested in the time period from 1855 to 1873. Please do a lookup for me on a James? LENN(E)Y regarding a lawsuit with the War Dept.? (The LENNY family apparently owned a shoe manufactory, first at Leiperville, then at 525 Market Street in Chester.  At some point, at the time of the Civil War, or soon thereafter they lost a lawsuit vs. the U.S. Government in the Supreme Court over the quality of a shipment of shoes provided to the Union Army.) I had a search done of the Federal District Court & Circuit Court, also the Supreme Court of PA & nothing was found. I have been told by Bob PLOWMAN it must have been brought against LENNY by the "War Department." If I could get some info from the newspaper(s) & the date it happened I might be able to figure out how to get a copy of the lawsuit. Thank you very much for any help or suggestions. :) Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
