Nancy, The Huntingdon county historical society has records for Riverview, but if I'm not mistaken, it is only partial. It does include many more than are listed on the web page.

Reply for "What township is Huntingdon, Pa. in? I an searching the GIBSON family from >Huntingdon, Pa." Pennsylvania counties consist of townships, boroughs and cities. Boroughs are not legally part of the townships that surround them. Huntingdon Borough has been here since 1796. It was formed out of a piece of Huntingdon Township, which ceased to exist in 1814 when the township was divided into two and the sections were given new names. Huntingdon Borough tax assessments are found listed in the Henderson Township books for many years thereafter. Census should show Huntingdon Borough from 1800 on. Rural delivery postal addresses could be in half a dozen townships and still bear the name "Huntingdon." And don't forget that there are a couple of other vilages and townships called Huntingdon scattered around the state. The local historical society receives many inquiries that don't even pertain to Huntingdon County because of the name duplications. (Steve Kemp) >

Linda, There was a scout who transcribed most of the cemetery for a merit badge. A lot of work for a merit badge. A copy of that is on file at the Huntingdon County Historical Society.

Hi Ralph: According to "Pennsylvania Line, 4th ed., there are six Hopewell Townships in PA. Hopewell in Bedford was formed in 1773 from Barree Township. Hopewell in Huntingdon was formed in 1787 (no original township mentioned). Interesting...Barree Township in now Huntingdon, was formed 1767 while part of Cumberland Co. Is that confusing enough? Looking at a county map of PA, in 1770 there are only 8 counties in all of PA and Cumberland was huge covering at least one third of the state.

Can someone explain to me if Hopewell Township, Huntingdon County and Hopewell Township, Bedford County are the same Townhship? Was Hopewell Township at one time all in Bedford County until Huntingdon County was formed from Bedford? At that time did part of Hopewell Township become part of Huntingdon County while part of Hopewell Township remained in Bedford? Ralph nearhoof@nb.net

I am looking for anyone who has researched the Kylers of Cromwell, Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. My ancestor Frederick Shenefelt married Mary Ann Kyler b. 1809 and I am having a hard time placing her. I would appreciate any help. Thanks - Linda Hansen

The page numbers for the three Jacob Morrises in Pennsylvania are as follows. After that I've listed the information that gives their ages and pob. Only one of them (the one in Mercer, I believe) could possibly have had a 15 yo Albert. He has a 15 year old with the name of Morris. I find it difficult to believe that might not be a mistake. Who would name their son Morris Morris? (I know some people do that kind of thing!) The Jacob Morris in Greene County has a 15yo son named Rufus. The Jacob Morris listing for Lycoming has as the oldest child a 6 yo. 1860 > Pennsylvania > GREENE > JACKSON TWP Series: M653 Roll: 1114 Page: 491 860 > Pennsylvania > LYCOMING > PENN TWP Series: M653 Roll: 1137 Page: 653 1860 > Pennsylvania > MERCER > WEST SALEM TWP Series: M653 Roll: 1140 Page: 859 MORRIS JACOB 35 M W PA PA GREENE JACKSON TWP 1860 MORRIS JACOB 40 M W PA PA LYCOMING PENN TWP 1860 MORRIS JACOB 58 M W WALE PA MERCER WEST SALEM TWP 1860

If you could give me the pages that the Jacob Morris Listings were on, then I could check the pages i the census. I think they were probably still in Huntingdon or at least in PA at the time of the Civil War. And Harriet could have died by then. Thanks for your help, I certainly hope I can locate them.
