Hi List, If you have an address in the city of Chester for the 1900 - 1910 - 1920 Census & you would like to know what Ward that address is in -- I can do a lookup for you. Address: 1730 W 2nd St., (2nd & Flower) Example: 1900 Census -- Roll #1405 Enumeration District #157 & 158 Ward 9 1910 Census -- Roll #1339 Enumeration District # 118-119-120-121 Ward 9 1920 Census -- Roll #1561 Enumeration District # 140-141-142-143 Ward 9 Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)

Good morning list, I have compiled an index on the 1900 - 1910 - 1920 Census Enumeration Districts. If anyone would like either or all of these indexes please e-mail me & let me know what you need. :) If anyone is doing research at the Delaware Co. Hist. Soc. (DCHS) -- the info marked on the micro film boxes, for these census records, is incorrect! The micro film Roll #1405 -- 1900 Census is on the reel backwards. I have asked DCHS to correct this but to no avail. I, also, placed a note book on top of the cabinet, (where the census micro film is kept), with the 1900 - 1910 - 1920 Census Enumeration Districts Index in it -- at DCHS. Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)

Looking for the relatives of Henry W. Roth and his wife, Lillian Emma Clyde - both buried at Chester Rural Cemetery. They resided in Radnor. I believe Henry had a brother named Sebastian and his children were Aloysia, Clarence, and Charles. Lillian Clyde's side has already been documented and goes back to Ashmead's, Dyer's, etc. Henry and Lillian had no children of their own but left a very large estate. I believe his parents and sister, Mary Roth Kelley, are buried in Mt. Moriah but that cemetery would charge me $190 just to look up the plot location and tell me who is in the graves (they're nuts!). Executor of Henry's will was Samuel D. Clyde of Delaware Co. I do know his grandson is still living in the area but have not been able to get through. Thanks for listening. Linda Michigan

In the past, list members have contacted me giving me info on their ancestors or relatives buried at St. Martin's but some of your e-mail address have changed & I have not been able to reach you. If anyone has an interest in this event or is a member of the Delaware County Historical Society, Veteran's Organizations, etc. -- please contact me & I will e-mail you the information. Many thanks! :D Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)

http://www.pacivilwar.com/ Pennsylvania Volunteers of the Civil War has added http://www.pacivilwar.com/1883delaware.html the Delaware County Pension Roll of 1883. This is the list of Delaware county veterans, widows and dependents receiving pensions for military service in 1883. Includes pensioner's name, town, cause for which pensioned, and monthly pension rate. You can use this information to send away to NARA for Civil War military pension file, which can contain a great amount of genealogical information. For more details, go to http://pacivilwar.com/cwpahelp.html Enjoy and I hope someone finds an ancestor. Kathi

Hi~ I have three men who I think are brothers--and am trying to figure if there's a way to find their birth records. On their Civil War pension records two said they were born in Middletown Township (DAVID ALLCUT b. 1835 and RICHARD ALLCUT b. 1847) and one (JOHN ALLCUT b. 1833) said he was born in Rockdale. I know that RICHARD's parents were RICHARD and MARY; found him/his parents and other siblings on 1860 census. DAVID and JOHN at that time if they were indeed siblings were no longer living at home. JOHN lived two houses from RICHARD, SR. at that time, though. RICHARD, JR was married at Calvary Church; JOHN was married at Mt. Hope and though I'm not sure where DAVID married, I know that his first wife died in 1861 in Upland. When he married for the second time he married in a Methodist church. I've tried already Calvary and Mt. Hope for birth records without any success. I've read in Wallace's book about a LIMA Methodist church. COuld that be a likely place to try for births of John and David in the 1830s? Are there other churches in the Middletown Township/Rockdale area that date back to the 1830s? Any other ideas as to what to try would be great! These folks have me stumped (can't find Richard, Sr., Jr., or John or David on the 1850 census). Thanks a million Kathy Dowe

Esther, Thanks for your reply. I wish I could give better specifics. All I have are copies of pages from a family Bible which belonged originally to Orpha Hook. The only other data I have is that Milton was allegedly raised by H H PYLE, which name I think could be an error. I may well have heard that [PYLE] wrong. I have no knowledge that Hannah HOOK remarried anyone named PYLE. My 6x ggm was Susanna PYLE, spouse of Thomas FRYER. They were in Thornbury Twp in 1763. Their dtr, Hannah, married Alban HOOK (not the minister) who was deceased by 1820, as Hannah is head of House in Aston Twp, DE County. In 1830, she has a male under 10 living with her, which is why I think I heard wrong when I wrote H H PYLE. (Orpha HOOK was born in DE county, I assume in Aston.) My cousin says Milton married Martha WRIGHT, but the page in the Bible has her name with only 4 letters, of which the first looks like either a B or R. Milton would have been born in 1825 or so, and I have no idea why he was raised by H.H PYLE. Since he died in Sept, he should have been in the 1850 PA census if he was living in PA, but he isn't. Neither could I find Martha SHARP or Mattie SHARP in 1850. By the time Susanna HOOK arrives on the scene as a married woman in 1840, the DAWSONS to whom I am related, are in Berwyn, Chester County. I had an uncle, Joseph Cheyney Hannum DAWSON, who died in 1863 in Chattanooga in the Civil War. I had a cousin, Joseph DAWSON, who died as a child 1903-1912. I don't seem to have any adult Josephs. Another uncle was James H. DAWSON, the contractor, who was living in East Town Twp as late as 1910. I hope this clarifies things a little.

Does anyone have a Milton D SHARP. b 1825, d 9th mo 6th 1850, married to a Martha (surname illegible, but only 4 letters long) Dec 18 1847 and who had a dtr named Hannah HOOK SHARP born 12th mo 15th 1848 in his/her family? Martha's surname appears to start with an R, and could be RABB, but I think I'm pushing it to say that's her name. They are in the Family pages of a Bible which belonged to Orpha HOOK, my 4x ggm, whose dtr married Richard F DAWSON. I can't find the connection that would warrant this family being in Orpha's Bible, except that of the HOOK as a middle name of Hannah. Hannah FRYER HOOK was Orpha's mother.
