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.
