Eastern Standard Time, pacumber-request@rootsweb.com writes: Ryan, I guess that Samuel Blunston and George Donehoo (former state librarian) were smarter than both of us. They simply spelled it John McFarlan (without a D or an E) when referring to the first McFarlan to cross the river and settle north of the creek near Newville. You are correct in stating that Rev. Swaim used an E in praising the many good things the McFarlanes did for the Big Spring Church. The Big Spring history lists only two 1786 members as John and Margaret McFarlanD. The history goes on to state that there were 20 McFarlanE members, 10 births or baptisms, 11 marriages, and 18 burial in all, And just to muddy the waters, Rev. Nevin, in his 1852 "Churches of the Valley", spells the name with an E.. One last bit of data: Patrick McFarland got warrant #580 for 300 acres next to the United Presbyterian Church property and near current-day Green Ridge Village, Newville.......Max

Were your ancestors of this era involved in politics? Find out. WHIG, AMERICAN AND REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY 1845-1860 Two pdf files just posted to the USGenWeb Archives for Cumberland. Adobe pdf reader or equivalent program needed to view these files. There is a list of abbreviations is only on the A-H list which is useful in interpreting the info. Some info does not line up properly. This is an old file and I can't seem to change the data without some unintended things happening. http://www.usgwarchives.net/pa/cumberland/index.htm File is in the Area/Local History section. Joe

My understanding it that the Newville group were "McFarlane," with an e, and not McFarlands. I know this is basic genealogy 101--E vs. D, Mc vs. Mac, but this is something that causes me quite a bit of consternation. If anyone has any evidence of any of the D's (McFarlands) coming from Newville, changing their names from E to D, or anything else that sheds light on the issue, I'd love to hear of it. I'm trying to track the origin of William McFarland, who died in 1840 and is buried in Ebenezer Cemetery, Black Lick, Indiana County, PA. I know he served with the Bedford County Rangers during the Revolution, but evidence for everything before that is of dubious quality or completely lacking. Lately I've been operating under the idea that he would not have changed his spelling mid-life. Since the clan in Newville seems to universally use the E version, I have been assuming that the spelling was fairly well established by the time he was born (even though many say the guy lived to be 100, making the date of birth pretty early, but this is something that falls into the dubious category). Go D's! Loch Sloy! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Regarding the McFarlands of Pennsyllvania: About ten years ago, Rev. William T. Swaim wrote a book called, Over the River. It is about the first 300 families that crossed the Susquehanna River. The names of the pioneers came from the 1733 Samuel Blunston license book. Practically all were Scot-Irish from Ulster, Ireland. McFarlands are listed, in fact a small section of land near Newville, in Cumberland County, was named McFarland by Swaim.

Just thought I'd put out my annual "I am searching for relatives of" e-mail. William B. Morrow born 1817 maybe in PA, died 1 Aug 1886 Lees Cross Roads, Cumberland County, PA, buried Rehoboth Cem. Married to Anna Maria Evans and had 11 children. I have names of children and most spouses, but can't seem to find his parents or siblings. Anna Maria Evans b 1929 Wales, suspect immigrated to PA abt 1846, died 10 Apr 1911 Lees Cross Road, Cumberland, PA, buried Rehoboth Cem.Married William B Morrow and had 11 children. Can't seem to pinpoint place of birth, parents, siblings, or exact date of immigration. Their children married into the following families: FARNER, COOVER, SHANNON, SPOTS, FOLK. A couple of kids headed out west (Colorado and or Kansas). Would love to connect with long lost cousins, but would really love to find parents of William B. Morrow and Anna M. Evans.

I have this information as well, however, I don't even know if this is correct, I don't know if it's MY John Cramer. The only information that I have been given for him is that either one or both of his parents were born in Germany, I have no first names for either one of them and no surname for his mother. When I was initially given the information I didn't even have a middle initial or middle name for him. I've since discovered that it is Wesley. I have tried searching the 1870 census,but I haven't had much luck with this census. I'm limited as to what I can search as I have no subsciption to ancestry. I'm here as a guest. I didn't try the 1860 because John was born in 1861 and I'm trying to find out what his father's name was. Thank you for your response.

It's me, the eternal Mundorf/Paxton/Miller researcher. Thanks for the information. Some of my 19th century Mundorf ancestors were blacksmiths. Others worked at the mills in Mt. Holly. When I saw how close Pine Grove Furnace was to where they lived, I started wondering whether any of them worked at the furnace. I will check the PA Archives.

I found and have read through many of the original ledger books from the Pay Master and also the Company Store, which are found at the Pennsylvania State Archives in Harrisburg. I and my parents initially went there (to the Archives) hoping to find church records for the church there at the Furnace ... and hopefully find a listing of those buried in the cemetery above the present lake nearest the furnace area. But to our surprise, we found the actual ledgers! I can't remember how we got up to the cemetery, but it wasn't hard at all. The park office should be able to tell you... or it should be listed on the map that's available of the park. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Do you rmember whether the cemetery is inside the park or what road you use to get to it? I'm sure I will be back there again in 2010 and I will look for it. That memorial to the Babes in the Woods refers to a local murder. The story can be found at http://www.pennlive.com/news/patriotnews/stories/150murders.html. A related question, sort of: How did you determine that some members of your family worked at Pine Grove Furnace? Are their existing records that list employees?
