Hello All, I just put online a map that some of you may be interested in. It shows "Early Province of Pennsylvania" and it is taken from a book titled "History of Pennsylvania". It's at http://www.midatlanticarchives.com If anyone is researching the surname ABERNATHY please let me know. I just found that my Harford Co., MD Abernathy's have some PA ties.

Kathy I descend from Susannah's sister, Elizabeth Verlenden Heaps...who married Joshua Heaps. I have also been recently in touch (since my post last week) with David Farraday..decendant of Martin and Louisa Verlneden Farraday. What is strange is that John Verlenden was supposedly Catholic and raised his daughters in the Catholic church. This is according to the genealogy of Edith Verlenden Paschall and William Lane Verlenden ll. I love talking to "cousins" to try and straighten out all the family lore. I occasionally talk to Don Verlenden, who also has shared family lore, and John Verlenden...noted writer and descendant of William Lane Verlenden. I am trying to identify Elizabeth Wood Verlenden....Susannah's mother. To date, we know that she was married in Cecil Co. in 1809. I have a genealogy that states her father was Enos Wood. There are later Enos Woods in Cecil as well as a John Wood with a daughter about Elizabeth's age in 1800 in Cecil. We are all looking for more on the original John Verlenden. I do have info that I would love to share with you. I might add that Alonzo Heaps, also worked for the Post Office as did Martha Quinn. She did work as a postmaster didn't she? Alonzo's sister, Annie, married my gggrandfather William G. Yocum. This family was a Kingsessing/Darby family for a couple of hundred years.

Hi Bev, Sorry, I did not got to this sooner but it was a little difficult to find. FARDY An old Wexford name formerly numerous in the barony of Bargy.

I have three Isaiah Worrells in my Worrall database, one who died in February 1817 and married to Martha Roberts, one b. 1828, d. 1884, married to Susanna Latch, and one b.c. 1874 (son of Isaiah and Susanna) on whom I have no other information. I believe a carter was someone who used a cart to move goods or any other moveables. It wasn't an occupation necessarily tied to the clothing trade; in fact it probably wasn't more often than not. Nightmen (the lucky fellows who cleaned out the latrine) were called carter. A carder was an individual who carded wool or cotton either by hand or mechanically in a textile manufactory. Karen Greim Mullian kmullian@verizon.net

Here's what I found on Wikipedia under "carter": *Carter* is a common English name and can be a given name or surname. The name is derived from the occupation *carter*, a person who carries things in a cart. It is also used to refer to someone who is lucky at cards but unlucky in love.
