I AM WONDERING IF ANYONE KNOWS OF AN ME CHURCH IN EXISTENCE FROM 1860 THROUGH THE EARLY 1900'S IN THIS AREA. WOULD THERE BE ANY RECORDS FROM THE CHURCH? My Smiths include William A. born 1820 (he died & is buried in Michigan), his first wife JANE OR FREDRICKA born abt 1820 died abt 1863 in PA, SARAH born 1841, Williams second wife who divorced him & married Ambrose Bennett & who died 9/3/1918 & should be buried in Evergreen Cemetery. There are children & grandchildren also. Anyone who thinks they have a connection please let me know. ELAINE LINKE

Bob, you might try THE MEADVILLE TRIBUNE. They have been in operation under various names for over 100 years and I am sure that the obituary will be on the microfilms at The Crawford County Historical Society. Hope it helps, Josh

Hi again- OOps. Her name was Catherine Duff and she married Robert Barr, Howard Long, and John Caufield and I believe it would be in that order. I believe she was buried in the Meadville are, but have no address where she might have lived in that area. She was born in Scotland in 1893, immigrated to the US in 1908 with her brother John. I know nothing else about her. Her other Thomas, my grandfather lived in Pgh, PA. Hope this helps. Bob P.S.

Hi all- I am looking for my aunt who died in the Meadville area around 1984. Any suggestions on where she might be buried? I do know that she was buried in that area. Newspapers? - which one or what is its name? She was married and I know the names of her husbands (yes, she buried three), but not the order in which she buried them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Bob

Julia would be listed as 8 or 9 in the 1860 census. Bring up the "Shreve's" in Crawford Co in the 1860 census and see if you can make a probably match. Also, see if she listed her parents on her marriage license.

I connect to them through the Perry family ca. 1830. This past summer when I was at Swift-Lang the sign was standing. It is (or was) a very large one close to the road and proclaims the cemetery as Lang and Swift. It also mentions the Boy Scout troop that helps take care of it. I am interested in seeing your picture and any others you happened to have taken there. I have many from Swirt-Lang, all the Perry's and most of the Hume/Humes who are also my family. Perhaps the sign was torn down. Maybe I can get one of my cousins to check on it.

They were residents of West Salem township, Mercer Co. PA. Mrs. CALVIN is enjoying unusually good health for one of her advanced age. Her chief pastimes are piecing quilts and helping with some of the housework. She takes a keen interest in the happenings of the day, tho she does not go out much. She is a member of the Associated Bible Students. There are three children, Mrs. DILLON with whom she lives and Roy CALVIN, both of Warren, and another daughter, Mrs. T. A. MCDOWELL, Greenville, PA. There are also nine grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. Mrs. CALVIN attributes her good health to the hard work which she has done most of her life.

SIMPKINS died 29 Jan 1852 · Letter Addressed “Dear Cousin” from May H. GUILES, talks of going to visit Cynthann and then onto Julietts, also mentions Judd as if he has passed away recently, no date on the letter · Cough Syrup Recipe addressed to Mrs. Robert SIMPKINS at 623 Mill Street, Youngtown, Ohio · Military discharge papers for John CALVIN dated 1863 Based on limited research I believe I find John & Mary CALVIN living in West Salem, PA during the 1880 census along with three children, Minnie E. age 10, Emma A. age 9, and William Roy (I'm assuming that this is Roy G. shown in the bible) age 4. All are listed as having been born in PA with Mary listing her parents place of birth as Ohio. Mary & John's youngest child was recorded at birth with the name Roy Gibson CALVIN, so I'm not sure where William Roy came from in the census records. Mary SIMPKINS father appears to have been Peter F. SIMPKINS the son of Peter SIMPKINS and Cynthia ACHESON. Mary's parents were recorded in the 1880 census living in West Salem, PA along with four children, George age 24 (George died in 1917), Almon age 22, Perry age 20, and Florence age 15 and in addition a grandson, Eddie age 1. Mary's Mother Emily DILLEY was born in OH, but her parents were born in NJ. I believe that Emily's parents were Joseph DILLEY Sr. and Mary BURNETT. Mary's oldest sister, Juliaett appears to have married George Wallace KARR and died in 1929 in Vernon, OH. Mary's brother William E. SIMPKINS and his wife Lucinda FELL were also living in West Salem, PA during the 1880 census, though they had no children. Brother Joseph and wife Ruth Elizabeth TERRY were also living in West Salem with 4 children, Lilly B. age 11, Howard age 7, Eva M. age 6, and Clarance age 2. Joseph died in 1926. Another brother, Linus David SIMPKINS and his wife Georgianna FELL were included in the 1880 census of West Salem, PA with no children as well. It appears that their first child was Linus Leroy SIMPKINS b. 27 Jun 1881 at West Salem, PA. Linus died in 1931. Not sure how Robert SIMPKINS of Youngstown, OH was related, however, I do find Robert & Damaris SIMPKINS with daughter Edna age 13, and Harry age 10 living in Youngstown, OH during the 1880 census. Robert & Damaris are listed as age 45 and 43 respectively, both born in PA to parents born in PA, their oldest is b. in OH and the youngest in PA. I believe that Robert is the son of Enoch SIMPKINS and Mary NEELY and that his wife Damaris' maiden name was WOODS. Not sure which of the CALVIN girls (Minnie or Dove) married into the MCDOWELL Family but I do find Social Security records for both Lyle and Robert MCDOWELL. Lyle's SS# was issued in PA and he died in Crawford County, PA on 29 Feb 1988. Robert's SS# was issued in Michigan and he died at Sharon, PA in May 1971. I'm hoping to be able to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

My 3x's ggrandfather was Robert Glancy French (b. 1822--son of Robert French and Margaret Glancy, d. between 1900-1910.) I last located Robert G. French (age 78) living in Troy Township, Crawford County with his daughter, Nancy Jane Grove and son in law, Hugh Grove. I was writing to see if someone could help me with a death date and burial place for Robert G. French. Additional information: Robert G. French married Sarah M. Stratton (who died between 1880--the family was last found in the 1880 West Shenango Township census--and 1900. Any information on the death and burial of Sarah Stratton French would be appreciated, also.) I descend from Robert and Sarah's firstborn son, Thomas O. French (b. 1843 in Crawford County, d. 1939 in Nowata, OK.) Information I have tracked on Robert and Sarah French's daughters: Nancy Jane French married Hugh Grove and Mary Alena French (b. 1863, d. 1933, buried Greenlawn Cemetery, Townville) married John Grove. I believe that John and Hugh were brothers. Another Daughter, Grace Elizabeth French (Lizzie), married Marcus Bogardus, d. 1887 and is buried in Black Ash Cemetery. Would love to correspond with anyone interested in this family...any help with the death date of Robert G. French would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you for your time, Alison Bigbee Phoenix, AZ
