Hi Lynne, Has anyone mentioned that there IS a Jackson Township in Dauphin County also? You can see it on this 1875 atlas of Dauphin County--click on county map to see all the townships. If you click on Upper County,you''ll see Jackson Township. http://maley.net/atlas/ Fisherville (Enders) is in Jackson Township, and Jackson Township is right next to Halifax Township. This link shows that Jackson is a 2nd class township that was formed out of Halifax Township in 1828: http://maley.net/dauphin/townshiphistory.htm Hope this information is helpful, Rae In a message dated 2/3/04 4:01:16 AM Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: David, Thank you for the information about Lebanon County. I spoke to someone there and there is clearly a bit of confusion as to where this belongs. The diarist mentions going to Halifax to have breeches cut -- and I gather Halifax is in Dauphin County. According to information I found on a Web site, the diarist's parents may be buried in an Enders Cemetery -- and I gather that is in Dauphin County, too. The 1870 and 1880 census records in which I found the teacher state that he was in Jackson Twp, Dauphin County, in (near?) Lykens -- and Lykens is in Dauphin County. I believe I was also told that Jackson Twp became part of Lebanon County long before these censuses were done. I think I will e-mail a transcription of the diary to both county historical societies and see if we can determine exactly in which county this belongs. Thanks for the help.

Rae, Thank you *very much* for those links! Because of that I was able to find the diary author's family (the Wilberts) on the map and what is probably the school where he taught, in the town of Jacksonville. How delightful to find them. I will check the second link now. Lynne, with gratitude > You can see it on this 1875 atlas of Dauphin County--click on county map to > see all the townships.
