Hi Mary, Have you tried the following library? UPPER DARBY SELLERS LIBRARY 76 S. State Street Upper Darby, PA 19082 Genealogical collection (books & maps) Have you found the PYOTT Family in the Federal Census Records in 1830 & before? Are they living in the Upper Darby area? In the past, I have found many family genealogist looking to find where their family members from Upper Darby are buried -- most often it is in the Philadelphia area or other surrounding counties. The following society should be of some help to you: The Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP) (215) 732-6200 <A HREF="http://www.hsp.org/">PA Historical Society of Pennsylvania</A> http://www.hsp.org/ The Genealogical Society Of Pennsylvania (GSP) (215) 545-0391 <A HREF="http://www.libertynet.org/~gspa/">PA Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania</A> http://www.libertynet.org/~gspa/ Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) In a message dated 11/16/2 1:37:38 AM, [email protected] writes: << Several months ago, when I was in town, I went to the Delaware County Historical society to try to find some information. I pored over all of the cemetery books there but found no record at all of the ancestors I was looking for. Unfortunately, I don't know what religion they were - that was one of the things I was hoping to find out. Apparently I'm going to have to expand my search outside of the county. Since I don't live in the area, I'm not familiar enough to be able to guess where to start looking. Does anyone have any idea where else someone living in Upper Darby might have been buried? The name I'm looking for is Pyott. James Pyott who died in 1825, his wife Rose who died in 1832, and Richard Pyott who died around 1872. Thanks, Mary >>
Thanks for your help everyone. You've given me a couple of leads to follow up on for cemeteries. Now for another question. James and Rose (Kearns) Pyott were married in 1772 in Old Swede's Church in Philadelphia. (After that they are recorded as living in Upper Darby.) What religion would they be? I've looked the church up on various websites, but can't put my finger on it. Then I read that sometimes Quakers who were marrying outside the fold would get married in that church, but I can't find any record of either of them in the Quaker records. Thanks, Mary
