    3. To Penelope zibby@family-net.net and others researching GREEN/GREENE in Crawford County. Here are the references I found to that surname in the "History of Crawford County, PA, 1885." On page 801, in the Biographical Sketch section for Cambridge Township: "Timothy L. Barber, attorney at law and auctioneer, Cambridgeboro, was born in Chautauqua County, NY, June 20, 1835; son of Chauncey and Keziah (GREEN) Barber. His father died when he was but four months old. In 1837 his mother moved to Girard, Erie Co., Penn., and resided there till 1847, when she settled in Rockdale Township, this county, where she resided till her death, which occurred in 1875. Our subject was educated at the common school and located in Cambridgeboro n 1854, and learned the shoe-maker's trade, which was his principal business up to 1872, when he began to practice law, in which he is still engaged. Besides attending to his profession he is doing an extensive business as auctioneer, having been licensed in 1879, and is considered A, No. 1 in this line. He was married, June 20, 1859, to Mary, daughter of Samuel and Maria Peters, early settlers of Cussewago Township, this county. By this union there are two children: Eva and Clara D. Mr. Barber has held several offices in Cambridgeboro. He is a member of the Knights of Honnor. In politics he is a Democrat." On page 949, in the Bio Sketch section for Richmond Township: "Thomas W. GREEN, farmer, PO New Richmond, was born in Jefferson County, NY, May 1, 1822. His education was very limited, as he had to work most of the time when a boy, and had but little time to attend school. He entered upon his career in life as a farmer, an occupation he has since followed, and by energy and enterprise has prospered well. He left his home in New York State for the West in 1840, and settled in Richmond Township, this county, where he has now a farm well cultivated, and a pleasant home. Mr. GREEN was married, July 7, 1845, to Miss Mary E. Baldwin, by whom he has seven children, viz.: Pembroke, Charles, Francis, Sarah, Rhoda, Ann and Bertha, all living." On page 1011, in the Bio Sketch section for Spring Township: "Isaac S. Baldwin, farmer, PO Springboro, was born in Whiting, Vt., June 28, 1816, son of Miles and Betsy Baldwin, former a native of Ruthland, Vt., latter of Grantham, NH. They came to this county in 1829 with three children, and took up a farm of fifty acres in the center of Spring Township. Two of the three children are now living. Miles Baldwin was a farmer. He held several township offices. His wife died in May, 1844. He died February, 1854, in his native township. Our subject, the youngest in the family, commenced farming when nineteen years of age, working for two years at $13 per month. After a two years' illness, he, in 1839, worked on the Erie Extension Canal as stone mason for one year, and became contractor on the canal for five years. He then purchased a farm, on which he remained one year; following year he again worked on the canal, returning again to the farm with his family. Mr. Baldwin then went to Ohio and contracted with his brother to grade forty-six miles of the Ashtabula & Lisbon RR, on completion of which contract he returned home, and has since been engaged in farming. He was married, October 9, 1839, to Betsy C. Parish, a native of Orleans County, Vt., born March 9, 1821. By this union were born nine children, six now living, viz.: Elizabeth, widow of Henry GREEN; Elmer D.; John P.; Ellen S., wife of James Corbett; Mary B., wife of Bart Brennan; and Leonore, wife of Peter Rackner. Our subject and wife have been members of the Christian Church over thirty years. He has been Justice of the Peace ten years; has held several township officers; in politics is a Republican. He, along with others, built the first steam saw-mill in this section in 1843." More to follow! Kathy Brubaker Volunteer Genealogist Linesville Historical Society kbrbkr@toolcity.net
