Can you tell me if his birth is recorded at that church? Thanks for your reply. Jane

Connie, Thanks for the information. I had very little on Jacob Rupley but what you sent matches up with the a letter I copied at the Lancaster Historical Society that listed Jacob's Father as Ulrich Rupley. It's interesting to know where they came from. Jacobs son Jacob Rupley b. 1755 is mentioned in a book I was just looking through, "Pastors and People - German and Lutheran Reformed Churches in the Pennsylvania Field, 1717-1793" by Charles H. Glatfelter. In the chapter on Cumberland Co. it reads: MANOR - This Lutheran congregation in East Pennsborough township dated from the 1780's. On April 12, 1793 George Wormley and Adam Kreitzer deeded two and one half arcs in East Pennsborough township to Jacob Wormley and Jacob Rupley, in trust, "for the use of the members in Communion with the Church or School commonly called the Manor Church....." The date is just after the death of Jacob Sr. Another name for the church was Poplar church. Jacob Rupley b. 1724 is also mentioned in a book I have called, "Cloth and Costume 1750 to 1800, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania". On page 21 it reads: Jacob Rupley, a German farmer, lived in East Pennsborough Township. His inventory taken in 1793 refers to " nineteen dozen of linen yarn for family use" and fourteen and one half pounds of tow yarn. I'd be interested in seeing his entire inventory. Marcia Fronk

I have info for you Marjorie. But your email addy doesnt work for some reason. Please contact me. Doug

I had the impression the number had been assigned to Widow Jack, not to anyone else. She was there earlier than Blunston's distribution of the licenses to newcomers - but I do believe her claim would have to be evaluated at that time and either confirmed by having a license issued, or denied if her land claim was not good or conflicted. Like you would eventually have to have a deed even if you had been "squatting" on a place for some time. Eventually you need that piece of paper. So if Blunston found you there he would eventually have to deal with you. He seemed to be in charge. Perhaps someone else has had experience with this situation. It is just the way it appears to me.

It appears as if there is no more data to be gained from the Blunston License book about Widow JACK. However, several JACK family members are listed among the records of the Middle Spring Presbyterian Church, which is located a few miles north of Shippensburg, PA. William JACK is mentioned twice. He was called before the Church Session to testify on 23 Jan 1746. It concerned a disagreement among other church members...he testified about a digging iron (called a mattock) that was broken.. Again, on 22 Jan 1748, he was called before the Session. This time William was a little bit under the weather......too much alcohol. Jane JACK and James JACK are mentioned in relation to burials for two daughters, one in 1808 and one in 1827. The Middle Spring history is on the Internet, and the last item will be found on Pages 180 and 181. <A HREF="http://www.protosight.com/middle%20spring%20web%20page/wylie'ssketch.htm">MIDDLE SPRING CHURCH by Swope</A> or <A HREF="http://www.protosight.com/middle%20spring%20web%20page/wylie'ssketch.htm">http://www.protosight.com/middle%20spring%20web%20page/wylie'ssketch.htm</A>

Ken Egolf very kindly put me onto this reference: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/union/history/lynn/l001040.txt Union County PA: History: Annals of the Buffalo Valley by John Blair Lynn: Pages 1 thru 40 Contributed for use in USGenWeb by Tony Rebuck On page 27 we have the following ---<<< On the 3d of February, the commissioners of the officers of the first and second battalions met at the Governor's, and obtained an order allowing them to take up twenty-four thousand acres, to be divided among them in distinct surveys, on the waters of the West Brand of the Susquehanna, each three hundred acres to be seated with a family within two years from the time of survey, paying £5 sterling per hundred, and one penny per acre, &c. >>>>>>>>>> Apparently a tract of 300 acres per family was common. The cost of the 300 acres would be £15 sterling-- what does the phrase >> one penny per acre>> mean? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The above refers to land in Buffalo Valley - now Penn Township, Snyder County, but then in Cumberland County. We have an ancestor who bought land there - probably soon after a land office was opened in 1768 (after the first settlers were killed in and Indian raid - 1755.) Again from Ken Egolf: Tax Lists - Cumberland County -1768-1768-1770 by Merri Lou Scribner Schaumann Michael Egulph (we assume Egolf) listed on Penns Rates - tax list for 1770. 300 L on Middle Creek. Nelson Sulouff was kind enough to offer this comment regarding the wording on the above tax list: <<<The amount "300 £" on the 1770 tax list would have been his evaluation, i.e., his taxable amount, not the amount of the tax he had to pay.>> But that does not conform to the £15 sterling I estimated based on the statement in the John Blair Lynn history. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And another reference from Ken -- <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ITEM #49057 June 20, 1771 The Pennsylvania Gazette SUPPLEMENT to the PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE. No. 2217. WHEREAS ......... ....the following tracts of located unimproved lands, or such part as will be sufficient to answer the said taxes, and all charges accruing by reason of the non-payment thereof, to the highest bidder. The sale to begin at 10 in the forenoon, and continue from day to day until all are sold. Given under our hands, this 27th day of May, 1771. JAMES DUNLOP, WILLIAM MILLER, WILLIAM CLARK, Commissioners........... 300 acres in Middle Creek, in Penn, belonging to Michael Egulf, 2 5 0 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> from this it would seem that the 300 L may refer to the size of the property - probably 300 acres. But if so what did the L signify? And how much were the taxes? The text of ITEM #49057 the order to sell the property referees to <<several undermentioned sums>> that is the 2 5 0 apparently the back taxes owed by Michael Egolf. I guessed that might be £2 5 shillings 0 pence. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I would appreciate your comments: what does the phrase >> one penny per acre>> mean? what about 300 L on Middle Creek? evaluation or acreage? and the 2 5 0 - no doubt the back tax but what units? Regards Hal

Linda - This is the second part of my reply,. In going through Appendix C on page 29 I notice Swaim refers to George P Donehoo, former Penna. State Librarian who was the first person to recognize the importance of Blunston's License Book. He wrote History of the Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania 1930. The names on page 29 and following pages were taken, it appears to me, from that History of the Cumberland Valley. Widow Jack does not seem to be in this index. On page 34 Widow Jack is included in Appendix D, Cumberland Valley Settlers Prior to the Blunston License Period. The note says these names were also contained in Blunston's License Book, and the number following each name is the License Number on which the name appears. I would take from this, Widow Jack was assigned number 222 herself by reason of Blunston finding her already in possession of land in Cumberland Valley when he arrived. The last page, 38 in Over the River shows a page of Blunston License Book, and we see more information there about the plot licensed. WHERE THIS IS LEADING IS: Has anyone made a copy of the license book itself? That is where you might find a clue to Widow Jack. I would assume there was no intermediary. I think 222 was her number. I don't know if anyone has seen George P. Donehoo's book History of the Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania 1930 to check out a possible reference to Widow Jack. I would be interested to know if this might agree with your view of the situation?

Linda - I tried to send a message to you last night but connection failed and could not be sure message went out. Will try again. I said, since we have the same source, you probably know as much as I about the license to Widow Jack. I looked again through "Over the River" and do not find any explanation for the fact that Widow Jack has License no 222, a high number despite the fact that she settled in the Cumberland Valley prior to the Blunston License Period. I can only guess it was a matter of Blunston getting rid of the licenses he had been authorized to grant at one particular time, and catching up on those persons who were already in residence as he came to them. Some have very low numbers, there seems to be no pattern to the way these numbers were assigned. I am going to close and Send, and then I am coming back with some observations i made while going back through "Over the River" to see what you think.

I posted the following query a while back on the Perry Co. and thought I would try the Cumberland List: >I have a 1890's map of Greenwood Twp. which includes the Pfoutz's Valley. >Can anyone help me with the location of St. Michael's Church? I see a >Lutheran Church and cemetery located near the line of Liverpool Twp. >along Cocolamus Creek, would this be it? I have found some information stating: St. Michaels was located about seven miles west of Liverpool. Anyone have directions to the burial ground if it's still there? I understand that around 1960 the congregation merged with Good Shepherd on Front Street in Liverpool.

Sterrett may have been spelled in various ways. Any clues would be very welcome. I'll be glad to share data. Please contact me at e-mail address <dfehlings@aol.com>
