Found George Single in the 1850 census with his sister Susanna Single. I found George's parents, John Single and Eve, in 1840, 1830, 1820, 1810, and found their listing in the Walter's Church-St. James Churchyard, Silver Spring Twp, Cumberland Co., PA. John Single b. 11 Sep 1777, d. 19 Aug. 1846, Eve b. 10 Feb. 1789, d. 28 Jan. 1849 widow of John Single. Census records of their children consistently list both John and Eve Single as both born in Pennsylvania. Records I found say Single, Shingle or Singles. Interesting about the Dutch bond girl story. Family legend in our family claimed there was Indian ancestry on this branch of the family. The 1810 through 1830 censuses listed John, Eve and children as "Free White Persons". The 1840 census listed John and the children as "Free Colored", and Eve as "Free White". Later censuses listed the children of John and Eve variously as either White or Mulatto. I would love to exchange more information with you. My Great Grandmother was Beatrice Letitia Steele (Blanche's older sister). I don't have information about the descendants of Blanche Steele and Forest Lloyd. Would love to get that, and give you our branch.
