Does anyone on the list live in or near Waynesboro? We are planning a family reunion - long distance, and what a challenge - for this summer in Waynesboro. We have reserved the motel and the park, but are trying to find a church group that will cater the picnic. We would have it pot-luck, but so many will be coming from out of town that we thought we could relieve our selves of the worry of trying to figure out what to take by having a local ladies group cater it and be able to pick up some extra dollars for their good works. We will also need the name of a nice restaurant where we can have a large group for dinner together on Friday night. Someplace not too expensive, but good food and a family atmosphere. If you can offer any suggestions, please contact me personally so we don't clutter the list with this. Janet in Baton Rouge, La jeheck@home.com

Hi all, It has come to my attention that the Irwin family info that I posted yesterday was erroneus. Here is the correction, many thanks to Arlene Gemmill :) As a descendant of JAMES IRWIN I have to speak up. He was a JAMES. Yes, he did have a son and a grandson named ARCHIBALD IRWIN and yes, he was the GG grandfather of President Benjamin Harrison. JAMES IRWIN was born about 1690 in County Antrim Ireland; he died 28 April 1778 in Franklin County, Pennsylvania and is buried in the White Stone Graveyard on Church Hill in Franklin Co. Following is a copy of the his will, JAMES IRWIN, and a couple of bits of info about this Patriarch of the Franklin County IRWINs. > ********************** > SOURCE: "Genealogical Data concerning McClellan, Maxwell, Irwin and McCoy" of papers read before The Kittochtinny Historical Society 1950-57.

The full title of the book is "Historical Sketch of Franklin County, Pennsylvania" by I.H. M'Cauley, published at Chambersburg 1878 by John M. Pomery. The book has been reprinted by Unigraphic Inc, 1401 North Fares Ave, Evansville, IN 47711. There is no addtional information on Snow Hill other than the fact that they have a farm of 130 acres with a grist mill and a two story brick building. I do not know how Seven Day Baptists differ from German Baptists. Perhaps there would be some more information on Cindi's List. It appears from the quote that there were no new members. Out of curiosity I checked out the 1860 census on Valley of the Shadow. Nothing under "Snow Hill" but did find this interesting. It would appear that Snow Hill was named for the Snow(Snee) berg family. Note that all except Ann Snowberger at 20 are middle aged in 1860, and would have been 16 years old when the county history was written in 1876. Snowberger Samuel 61 m w Farmer 20550 5000 Pa.

>From the Book: "The Ancestry of Benjamin Harrison" (The genealogy is a partial, the entirety is too lengthy.) IRWIN. THERE is a tradition, which I have not succeeded in verifying, that the Irwin family in the Chart were descended from the John Irwin who received a manor in Ireland in Cromwell's time. Archibald Irwin, the great-great-grandfather of President Benjamin Harrison, appears to have been born in that country. Mrs. Newcomer of Indianapolis, among other information kindly furnished me, tells me that this Archibald settled where his son and grandson of the same name afterwards resided, four miles south of the site of Mercersburg, Franklin County, Pa. This was formerly in Peters Township, Cumberland County, and a list of owners of land in that Township in 1763 mentions an Archibald Irwin with two hundred acres, for which the warrants had already been issued, twenty acres being cleared, and nine sown, and with two horses and two cows. John, James, William, and another John appear in the same list, each having more acres cleared than Archibald. It is probable that this first Archibald, rather than his son, was the Ensign Archibald Irwin of the Rev. John Steel's company of Armstrong's battalion in 1756, during the French and Indian War. The first Archibald had issue, the order of birth being uncertain: JOSEPH IRWIN, m. Violet Porter, JAMES IRWIN, ARCHIBALD IRWIN, m. Jean McDowell, see below, JOHN IRWIN, m. (???) Hage, MARY IRWIN, m. (???) Nesbith, JANE IRWIN, m. John Boggs, LYDIA IRWIN, m. Moses Porter, MARTHA IRWIN, m. George Paull, daughter, m. (???) McConnell, daughter, m. (???) McConnell. ARCHIBALD IRWIN, great-grandfather of President Benjamin Harrison, was probably born in Ireland. During the Revolutionary War, he was Quartermaster of Col. Samuel Culbertson's battalion of Cumberland County militia. This Archibald built a fine stone dwelling-house, and operated a flour-mill and saw-mill, whence the place came to be called "Irwinton Mills." He is sometimes styled "merchant" in the records. He was an elder of the Presbyterian Church at Mercersburg. He died of palsy in the Winter of 1798-9. Issue: JAMES IRWIN, b. Apr. 14, 1758, m. Margaret Smith, see below, MARY IRWIN, b.

Snow Hill (Schneeberg) Nunnery in Quincy Twp was not Catholic, but a branch of the cloister at Ephrata. In M'Auley's 1876 county history it is called 'the principal institution of the German Seventh Day Baptists in the United States.' At that date there were only 15 people living there: 8 males and 7 females. "all old people and as there are no accessions to their numbers, the society must soon become extinct." (page 152) There is a historical marker on the highway about a mile south of Quincy. -----Original Message----- From: JDHLEH@aol.com <JDHLEH@aol.com> To: PAFRANKL-L@rootsweb.com <PAFRANKL-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, April 26, 2000 11:33 PM Subject: [PAFRANKL] Snow Hill Nunnery?? >Is there a Nunnery in Quincy Twp?

Joe- I'm srry about all the "Colby" stuff For some reason I thought I was in that "forum" It's clear up in NH.dcs

Is there a Nunnery in Quincy Twp? I found a mention of a woman who was supposed to be a nun at the Snow Hill nunnery. I've never heard of Snow Hill Nunnery but some of my german ancestors were founders of the Snow Hill Society. Would like some help clearing up the question of a Catholic (I'm assuming) church with reference to a Snow Hill Nunnery. Thanks L.

Thanks for the information. Two sites have been suggested to me but I can't seem to get there. I will keep on trying. Someone suggested a nearby library which I can resort to. Jean

Samuel McCune Esq., appears in service as a private with Capts., John Campbell, and Wm. Moorhead. He is regarded as one of the Rev. War Soldiers of Middle Springs Presby. Church. Mr. John G. Orr, in his interesting article on "Early Grist Mills of Lurgan Township"states that a stone Grist Mill was built about 1775 by Samuel McCune, and the picture given is a fine example of the period; the land was an original grant to McCune from the Penns. An old account book of Capt. Samuel McCune, was used in his business as a Miller, distiller, and farmer. The initial entry in this account book is the roll of Capt. McCune's Company of revolutionary service, made by his own hand, dated August 13, 1776.
