I have a copy of "Rockdale" by Wallace. Is there something special you need as a lookup?

Parkmount Rd crosses route 452 just below route 1, below Lima (if you have a map.) It looks like it's where the east and west branches of the creek meet. It should be Aston or Middletown Township depending on which side of the creek. >From interlibrary loan get a book called "Rockdale" by Anthony F. C. Wallace to read about what life was like there 1825 to after 1850. Many family names are mentioned. [an excerpt] - In 1850, 17% of the mill workers were Irish (according to Wallace, according to the census). It was the smallest of all the hamlets in the area. The mill was operated in 1850 by an Irish carpet weaver, George Callaghan and his son, George, Jr. They only leased for 2 years.
