Hi lists, I attended the GRUBB Lecture last night at the ROBINSON House in Claymont, DE. The presentation was by Garet C. Forwood Gunther & he spoke about his foremother Harriet GRUBB (daughter of Emanuel), who m. a FORWOOD. Most of the lecture was pertaining to the FORWOOD Family but at different time the GRUBBs were mentioned. Garet did show a DVD about the FORWOOD Family but only a short mention & very few pictures of the GRUBB Family. I questioned him on how someone, if interested, could obtain the FORWOOD DVD & he gave me his card. He is going to see what arrangements he can make when he returns to CA. Regarding the GRUBB Family -- Garet is planning to have a DVD done on the GRUBBs sometime in the future. He gave many references to help anyone doing research on the GRUBB Family. I will e-mail him within the next week & hopefully receive a copy of this reference list. I will then post it on the mailing lists. :) The lecture was very interesting & delightful -- to a full house! :) Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Persifer, b ca 1796, has left a long trail of descendants, so he is my only link to his parentage. His mother was Hannah FRYER, b 8 Oct 1769, d/o Thomas FRYER and Susanna PYLE. His sister was Orpha HOOK, b ca 1800, who became my 5X ggm. Once I thought an Alban HOOK was their father, but in reviewing my data, now believe that to be wrong, so I'm just saying their father was _____ HOOK. They lived in Chester Co where Persifer and his siblings were born and I find Hannah in Delaware County in 1820 as the HOH, Orpha is living with her. Persifer is in Edgemont, and is now married. There wa a brother, Abraham, for whom I can find no data. Here are the known marriage combinations of Persifer HOOK's descendants. Persifer's children were all born in Chester County. I won't list children for which I have no data in order to keep this from being more lengthy than it has to be. Virtually all of them stayed in Wilmington except Waldron who moved to Phila. Please, please, if any one recognizes these names and has info, get in touch with me. Maybe you all have data I can't find. I'm desperate!

Hi list, I just had to post this, I found it so amazing! It gives you a glimpse of how our grandparents, g-grandparents & just maybe even our g-g-grandparents lived a 100 years ago. Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)                     THE YEAR 1907 This will boggle your mind, I know it did mine! The year is 1907. One hundred years ago. What a difference a century makes! Here are some statistics for the Year 1907 : ************************************ The average life expectancy was 47 years. Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub. Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone. There were only 8,000 cars and only 144 miles Of paved roads. The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph. The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower! The average wage in 1907 was 22 cents per hour. The average worker made between $200 and $400 per year. A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year, A dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year. More than 95 percent of all births took place at HOME. Ninety percent of all doctors had NO COLLEGE EDUCATION! Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which Were condemned in the press AND the government as "substandard." Sugar cost four cents a pound. Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen. Coffee was fifteen cents a pound. Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo. Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from Entering into their country for any reason. Five leading causes of death were: 1. Pneumonia and influenza 2. Tuberculosis 3. Diarrhea 4. Heart disease 5. Stroke The American flag had 45 stars. The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was only 30!!!! Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and ice tea Hadn't been invented yet. There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day. Two out of every 10 adults couldn't read or write. Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school. Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores. Back then pharmacists said, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health." ( Shocking? DUH! ) Eighteen percent of households had at least one full-time servant or domestic help. There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE! U.S.A.! And........... My paternal grandfather was 2 years old.   His future wife was to be born in Nov.    My g-grandfather was 46 years old, my g-grandmother was 37.  My other g-grandfather, (on my father's mother's side), was 47 and his bride was 40. Now, I just forwarded this from someone else without typing it myself, and sent it to you and others all over the United States, & Canada and maybe even possibly the world, in a matter of seconds! Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years. IT STAGGERS THE MIND, EH? ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

As Helen mentioned a week or so ago, Kathie Felsted took images of the tombstones in Stonybank Cemetery. Below is a link to the uploaded images with what transcriptions could be determined. Some of the dates are quite worn, but some supporting information was found in census records, death notices and research from others to help make the dates listed as accurate as possible. There are Civil War markers placed with some of these stones that appear to be incorrect since the person died before the Civil War started. Also, there are several stones with just initials on them that appear to be footstones which due to the relocation may have been separated from their corresponding headstone. If you are able to fill in any of the blanks or have definite knowledge of burials not listed, please let me know and we can add that information: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/delaware/stonybank.htm Thanks, Cyndie

Good morning lists, Does anyone have access to the "Delaware County American " (newspaper), published in Media, PA? I'm interested in the time period from 1855 to 1873. Please do a lookup for me on a James? LENN(E)Y regarding a lawsuit with the War Dept.? (The LENNY family apparently owned a shoe manufactory, first at Leiperville, then at 525 Market Street in Chester.  At some point, at the time of the Civil War, or soon thereafter they lost a lawsuit vs. the U.S. Government in the Supreme Court over the quality of a shipment of shoes provided to the Union Army.) I had a search done of the Federal District Court & Circuit Court, also the Supreme Court of PA & nothing was found. I have been told by Bob PLOWMAN it must have been brought against LENNY by the "War Department." If I could get some info from the newspaper(s) & the date it happened I might be able to figure out how to get a copy of the lawsuit. Thank you very much for any help or suggestions. :) Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
