To Rob rwalton@worldnet.att.net and other Walton researchers. Here is the last of the data I found on the WALTON name in the "History of Crawford County, PA, 1885." On pages 1062 and 1063 in the Biographical Sketch section for Summerhill Township: "M.D. Shaw, farmer and stock-raiser, PO Centre Road Station, was born in Dutchess County, NY, May 6, 1811; son of Moses and Lucy A. (Cross) Shaw, also natives of Dutchess County. They were members of the Baptist Church; parents of eleven children, five of whom are now living. Moses Shaw, who was a farmer, died in 1856, and his widow in 1864. Our subject, who is the fifth child in the family, was married in 1832 to Julia A. Miller, a native of Orange County, NY. He came to Crawford County same year and settled on sixty-eight acres of woodland in Summerhill Township in 1836, which he cleared up as well as several other farms in the vicinity. To Mr. and Mrs. Shaw were born eleven children, ten now living, viz.: Lucy J., wife of Levi WALTON; Moses M.; Mary C., wife of Chester WALTON; William M.; Harriet M., wife of Andrew WALTON; Filena, wife of Seth S. Dorchester; Louisa, wife of Simon Nichols; Rachel A., wife of George Stevens; Carrie M., wife of S. Miller; and John C. The families all reside within a few miles of their parents. Their son, Thomas Johnson, was a soldier during the war of the Rebellion, in the One Hundred and Forty-fifth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and died of disease contracted in the service, April 4, 1862. Our subject, wife and children are members of the Evangelical Church, which is situated on one corner of his land. Mr. Shaw donated the ground and was mainly instrumental in building the church. He is the owner of 160 acres of well-improved land, and is making a specialty of raising a pure breed of Holstein cattle; he has given much land to his children. Our subject has held several township offices; in politics is a Republican. This worthy old pioneer has about forty grandchildren and five great-grandchildren." In "Meadville...It's Past and Present, Sesqui-Centennial Edition of The Tribune Republican 1788-1938" I found the following WALTON reference in Section E, page 22: "Mrs. Edwin A. WALTON (Frances F. Colter) for twenty years secretary and treasurer of the Meadville chapter, American Red Cross, and prominent in club and civic work, was born in Pittsburgh. She is the daughter of James P. Colter and Mary Archbold Colter. "She was graduated from Meadville High School and was a member of the class of 1902 at Allegheny College. "She married Edwin A. WALTON, son of Mr. and Mrs. John U. WALTON of Cleveland, in 1901. There are two children, Mary Archbold (Mrs. Mason Brown) and John U. WALTON, II. "Mrs. WALTON has served as secretary-treasurer of the Meadville Woman's Club 1924-1929; president of the Woman's Literary Club 1930- 1932; is president of the Meadville Art Association and the Garden Club. "She is a member of the Independent Congregational Church (Unitarian) and Kappa Kappa Gamma." Hope this helps! Kathy Brubaker Volunteer Genealogist Linesville Historical Society kbrbkr@toolcity.net
