I was wondering if anyone could do a lookup for me. I would like to know what the book "History of Mt. Union, Shirleysburg and Shirley Township, has to say about William Morris and also about Jonathan Morris who may be William Morris's son. All help will be greatly appreciated. Sue sbrowand@pa.net

Bill, I have a copy of an obit of Nellie M. Varner, d/o Frank and Mary Rinker. It mentions a sister Mrs. Ethel Mack. Could this be the one? If you think so, I'll type out the obit and sent it email.

According to information from Huntingdon County, Office of Register and Recorder, birth records were not kept until 1894. Prior to 1771 that area was in Cumberland County. Those records are at their courthouse and historical society located in Carlisle, zip code 17013. However, I doubt very much if they have birth records dating back to 1854.

My computer is down so I'll not be able to answer requests for lookups for hopefully only a few days. When I am back in commission, I'll let everyone know. It might be a good idea to resubmit any requests you may have sent in the last 2 weeks or so. I might be losing my hard drive (worse case scenario) so that means everything will be gone.

Hello, Can anyone tell me how I can contact whoever would have the birth records for someone born in 1854 in Huntingdon County PA? I would need to contact the place by email or a toll-free phone number because I live in another state and cannot actually go there. Thank you, Elizabeth

Hi Kathy, Thank you for all of the info ....I am still studying it, but I am not sure if there is a connect or not to this line of Waggoners to my line. Since I have really been working on this particular part of the family but a couple weeks there is so much info the seems correct a first glance and then pans out to be wrong ...I need to gather more info from other areas before I can allow or disallow what you sent to fit in. These Waggoner families every where had so few names that they used for naming their children it causes great anguish at times trying to figure who belonged to who and why. If I can make any direct connection I will most certainly let you know and thank you again....... Garry Garry L. McLaughlin Satsuma, Florida

GARRY, I think we are working on the same line of Waggoners in Huntingdon County. I have Abraham Waggoner/Wagoner who married Charlotte Brown. His father was William Wagoner that married Mary (Nead?). I have the Will of William Wagoner so from there forward I have lots of proof. But, from there back, I have alot of notes and possible parents including your John. Below I will paste a genealogy report of what I have so far. I have not had time to check out notes and information that has been sent to me by others, but they are all included in the report below. If you have anything on paper/proof please let me know. I surely would appreciate it. Thanks, Kathy Wells. Descendants of John Wagoner? Generation No. 1 1. JOHN1 WAGONER? Notes for JOHN WAGONER?: NOTES; This information came from Dorothy Nead Angle. I have not checked it out yet. I will as time permits. If I prove that John is the father of William, I will drop the '?' after his name. a * denotes our direct ancestor The earliest Wagner tale is still in the process of finding, deliberating, and concluding results so everything is subject to change. It is only recently that I have considered Sophia Wagner of any interest ,other than that of a middle aged widow married to Christof (Stoffle ) Nead . He was my 2'nd generation early paternal immigrant. Recently, however I have been in touch by e-mail with Mike Apgar with whom I have concluded that Sophia Apgar Wagner , the widow who married Christof (Neid) Nead was most likely the mother of my maternal [ 6'th] great grandfather Wilhelm [William ] Wagner.>>>>> What a puzzle the early Wagner- Nead clans have presented to their children. IF that be so' the following is very likely our Wagner clan---_ from the country of Germany to the" new country, " America.,--up to the present day. Bear in mind that Wagner as is (Nead] is spelled several ways , even in the same family. Wagner.... / Waggoner..... / Wagoner...../Nead..../Niedt....../Neid...../Niethin 1) first generation.......Herr and Frau Wagner [given names unknown to date] parents of 10 children, at least some having been born in Germany, and later arriving in America.

Perhaps an article on one of the early families of the Mohawk Valley will stimulate inquiry concerning others. My Grandmother Webster was a Wagner, and years ago, while living at Fort Plain, I talked with many old people and examined the church records at Stone Arabia concerning the Wagner family and others allied by marriage. Let me try to reduce my mass of memoranda to order and condense it. I shall give but a small part. Johan Peter Wagner was "born in Docken-hausen, in the county Brauback, in Hessen-Darmstad, 1687, the 4th of October," says the record. Braunsbach is in Wirtemburg -- he came from the Lower Palatinate. His wife was "Maria Margaretha Laucs, born in Ohren, St. Steiner Landes, 1686." In the Documentary History of New York, Vol. 3, page 569, is a "Statement of heads of Palaten families and number of Persons in both Towns on ye west side of Hudsons River," in which No. 21 (in a list of 82) is Peter Wagner. The tabulation indicates a wife, but no children. They were ten each 24 or 25 years old, assuming the identity of this Peter Wagner and my ancestor, which is altogether probable. They arrived in American in June, 1710. It was in the reign of Queen Anne, when many Germans were colonized by England on the Schoharie and on the Mohawk; "one strong motive being the better security of the province against Canadian aggressions." "It was deemed advisable to locate them where they could best produce for the home government, from pine trees, naval stores, such as turpentine and tar." The hardships and varied experiences of these immigrants are graphically given in the documents published by the state, and in the "Frontiersmen of New York," vol. 1. After being located on the Hudson several years, Wagner moved into the Schoharie Valley, where he seems to have lived some ten years. His seven children must have been born on the Hudson and in Schoharie, and perhaps one on the Mohawk. We may infer some of his experiences form the history of the Schoharie settlement by Mr. Simms. In 1722, Wagner and others bought land of the Indians in the Mohawk Valley. I have before me a copy of the "deed". It is signed by representatives of the Mohawks, Onondagas, Oneidas, Cayugas, and Secnecas. The date was 9th July, 1722. It conveys a tract "on both sides of the Mohagus river" for "about 24 English miles," and "with all the woodland Northerly and Southerly on the said meadowland, as far as the said Palatines or High Dutch men pleas to take," Containing about in acres we know not," "for a small consideration of payment"! No wonder the old Mohawk chief, Hendrick, complained of these Germans -- mentioning Wagner and several others by name -- as having taken up more land than they had paid for. A grant (of which I have copied the original) from George I to his "loving subjects John Conradt Weiser junior, Johannes Lawyer junior, and Peter Wagner", issued through Gov. William Burnet, is dated 8 July, 1725. By this they obtained 1637 acres on the south side of the Mohawk, north of the Otsequago and south of the Otsquene. See map in the Doc. History NY, vol. 1, page 774. The tract is marked "P. Waganaer." This was about half way between the Mohawk and Cherry Valley. When and how Wagner disposed of this I do not know. The same map shows a tract near the "Caroga" marked "Vogoner," and on that my ancestor settled. Stone Arabia was easterly from him; "Capt. Frey" was down the river; "Fox Mills," were on the Garoga; "Fort Harrison" was to the northwest; the "Canajoharrees" were on "Conowadaga creek" -- what is now Indian Castle -- and the names of Morris, Livingston, Colden, Bleecker, Cosby, etc., appear on the south side of the river. The date of the map I do not know, but it was after the founding of Cherry Valley; probably long after. That the pioneer Wagner and his wife lived to be at least 63 years old is proved by a record of their presence at the baptism of their first grandchild, Peter, November, 1750. When they died I don't know. Their graves had no markets, but they were probably near the grave of their son on the J. Harvey Smith farm. Their children were: 1) Anna Margaretha, born 15 April, 1712; married Heinrich Tillenbach. 2) Maria Catharina, born 18 August, 1714; married George Rosner (the o with an oomlaut). 3) Utilia, born 16 August, 1716; married Isaac Reit. 4) Catharina Elizabeth, born 10 September, 1718; married --- ---? 5) Maria Magdaline, born 4 January 1720; married Johan Fehling of Freysbush. I have the names of scores of descendants of Frs. Failing. Included are the names of Diefendorf, Weller, Wendell, Seeber, Nestell, Hawn, Abbot, etc. 6) Johan Peter, born 8 January, 1722. Of him I shall have more to say. 7) Maria Elizabeth, born 24 January, 1724; married Heinrich Saltzman. She was the grandmother of Peter I. Salsman, and the great-grandmother of Jacob H. I judge these marriages took place at and about Stone Arabia, and that the families continued there; except Mrs. Fehling. The pioneer's youngest child was probably born on the Mohawk. If any one can inform me authentically of any son of the first Wagner, besides Peter, or any brother of the pioneer, I shall be glad to learn. Friends interested have put questions concerning certain Wagners in Palatine and in Canada, apparently fo the same stock; questions which I have not been able to answer. In another article I shall speak of the pioneer's son, the second Johan Peter. W. P. Webster Riverside, Cal. Chapter II The only son (so far as I have ascertained) of Johan Peter Wagner, the pioneer, was a second Johan Peter born -- probably in Schoharie -- 8 January, 1722, which was not long before his father removed with his family to the Mohawk Valley. The old church record mentions the settlers from Schoharie as "Auff den Helleburg." The Wagner farm, if an uncleared forest can be so called; tract would be better; extended from the river toward Stone Arabia and I may indicate its location by saying that it included the old home of Daniel and Harvey Smith. In this wilderness home young Peter grew up. He was 16 years old when William Johnson (Sir William) came into the valley and settled down the river, in 1738. He was 18 when cherry Valley was founded in 1740. He was 20 when Thu-yen-dan-ega (Joseph Brant) was born. The Upper Castle of the Mohawks was but six or seven miles west or northwest of his home. He must have often seen Hendrick, and have been familiar with Oneidas and Cayugas as well as Mohawks. The piercing cry of the panther was frequently heard, and black bear and wolf, and deer and other game, abounded. The Mohawk and the Garoga were deeper than now, and transportation was largely by water. Harold Frederick's "In the Valley" gives us a graphic description of the conditions under which our ancestors lived. When 26 years old, Peter Wagner received a commission as second-lieutenant in Captain Barnt Wemp's company in the second battalion of the regiment of the county of Albany (Palatine was then in that county), which was under the command of (Sir) William Johnson. It was dated August 25, 1748, and signed by George Clinton, the colonial governor. What service young Wagner had seen before, we are not told. He doubtless served under Johnson in the French wars. Much may be inferred as to what he saw and experienced for years, from, e. g., Griffis's Life of Sir William. In the year 1750, Mr. Wagner married Barbara Elizabeth Dagstetter (now Dockstater), who lived on the Sand Flats, in the eastern part of the present Montgomery county. They had twelve children; the first born in '51 and the last born in '70, apparently. Of these more anon. Of the first Wagner, Mr. Hutchinson said, "About the year 1750 he built his residence -- the old stone dwelling (now standing and in a good state of preservation). It was quite similar in style to the well know houses of Frey, Ehle, Van Alstine, and Wormouth, which were erected about the same period." He elsewhere confounds the father and son, and I presume he has done so here. The first had built some sort of habitation 25 years earlier. The younger man was about 28 years old at this time. I quote Mr. Hutchinson further: "The Wagner house is said to be the oldest house now standing in the state of New York, west of Fort Plain. In early times, and during the wars, it was stockaded and known as Fort Wagner, and a blockhouse was said to have been situated some 50 feet southeasterly of the dwelling, some of the timbers of which are still in the barn buildings on the farms. And a part of the old foundation still remains." I have been in the stone house built by Colonel Wagner -- it is a part of the old home of J. Harvey Smith. A good photograph of it -- the gift of E. Dunbar Rich, of Utica -- is before me at this moment. In religion, all of the Wagners were Lutherans up to 1834, when Peter J. joined the Dutch church. Colonel Wagner and family were communicants at Stone Arabia. In 1770 the stone house of worship near the river (at Palatine Church) was erected. Says Hutchinson: "Henrich Nellis gave a deed of the land, the title being made to Colonel Peter Wagner, Andrew Reeber and John Eisenlord, church wardens, Jan 2, 2769; and Peter Wagner, Andrew Reeber and Christian Nellis, Jr., were bowmasters in charge of the erection of the church. Col. Wagner subscribed for that purpose 100 pounds, Mr. Reeber the same amount, and Mr. Nellis giving 50 pounds." In politics, the Wagners were Whigs. As the times that tried men's souls drew on, their patriotism was fervent. The old pioneers had evidently passed away. The second Wagner was prominent on the Committee of Safety, but as the "Frontiersmen of New York." "Life of Brant," and other works give the records of the meetings of the committee, I will save space here; nor will I more than mention that Wagner held the position of lieutenant-colonel of the second battalion from the Palatine District, Jacob Klock colonel, and that he fought bravely and conspicuously at Oriskany -- two of his sons, Peter (a second-lieutenant) and George being also in the battle. I have copies of a number of letters and other papers left by Col. Wagner; they have already been published, but I append three.

DEYGERT Major To Cols. Klock & Waggoner This article is intended to be suggestive, not exhaustive. Mr. Hutchinson says, "He was one of the grand jury at the first court of quarter sessions, under the new State government, held at Johnstown September 8, 1788, and represented his district as a member of assembly at the second, third and fourth sessions, in the years 1777, 1778, 1779, 1780, 1781." Said Peter G. Webster to me, speaking from tradition: "The colonel was a man of energy and power, imperious in manner, and yet highly respected and of great influence in his community. His occupation was farming. He possessed over 600 acres, and he had several white men at work and a number of Negro slaves." From the Stone Arabia records, I copy: "Year 1812, 1st July, died Barbara Waggener, aged 88 years, leaving as a widower Mr. Colonel Peter Waggener old man in his 92d year. She lived with the colonel 64 years, and was the mother of 12 children, viz 5 sons and 7 daughters -- one son and one daughter died before. Children's children she had 73, and great grandchildren 70. She died of old age and was buried on Friday, 3d July, 12 noon, on the Waggener family burying ground beside the house of col. Peter Waggener. The funeral sermon was preached in the stone church near the river. I Kings xix 4." Again: "Year 1813. On Sunday, the 23d of May, in the morning at 9 o'clock, died Johan Peter Wagener. Was born in year 1722, 8 of January. Was 91 years, 4 mos. and 19 days old. He was colonel in the war of Independence. He lived with his wife (that died 11 months ahead of him 1 of July, 1812) 64 years,and was the father of 12 children, vix 5 sons and 7 daughters. Of these tow children -- one son and one daughter -- died before him. Grandchildren 78, and great-grandchildren 74. The blessed dead died of old age and was 9 days on his sick bed. Was buried on Tuesday, the 25th of May, at 12 o'clock noon, in the Waggener's family burying ground, near the house of his son Col. Peter Waggener's. Lies beside his wife. Sermon was preached in the stone church near the river, on the text, Rev. 20, v. 12" The remains of this old couple and of their oldes son and his wife now repose in the Fort Plain cemetery. XII. Probably the youngest child of Colonel Wagner, 1722, was William, born Sept. 22, 1770. That is all I know about him. Children of WILLIAM WAGONER and MARY NEAD are: i. CATHERINE3 WAGONER, m. MR. HARKLEROAD. Notes for CATHERINE WAGONER: She was mentioned in her father's Will. ii. HANNAH WAGONER, m. MR. HULL. Notes for HANNAH WAGONER: She is mentioned in her father's Will iii. CHRISTIAN WAGONER, b. 1796. iv. MARY WAGONER, b. Abt. 1800; m. JOHN MCNERLAND. Notes for MARY WAGONER: She is mentioned in her father's Will. 3. v. SARAH WAGONER, b. 1798; d.

Notes for JOHN BROWN: NOTES: 3 Brown siblings married 3 Waggoner siblings. Abraham Wagoner married Charlotte Brown Ann Wagoner married John Brown Sarah Wagoner married Caleb Brown ix. WILLIAM WAGONER, b. 1802, PA; m. HANNAH BAKER; b. April 22, 1805; d. January 08, 1862, Buried at Cromwell Cemetery, near Maddenville, Hunt Co. PA. Notes for WILLIAM WAGONER: PROOF: ------He is mentioned in his father's Will. He gets the land his father now lives on in 1834; and he gets his father's 8 day clock. NOTES; I believe he married Hannah the mother of Priscilla Baker who married his nephew Allison K. Wagoner (son of Abraham). Hannah disappeared on census at the same time William married a Hannah. He had never married before. They were both older and so they never had any children. He lived very close to his brother Abraham, his nephew Allison & Priscilla. CROMWELL CHURCH CEMETERY -----She is buried here. Located between the villages of Maddenville and Clear Ridge, west of State Route 475 near the Fulton/Huntingdon County line at the border between southern Springfield Township of Huntingdon County and northern Taylor Township of Fulton County. We can't figure out why she is buried in amongst a big family of Cromwells. It appears she was never married before she married William. Notes for HANNAH BAKER: NOTES: -------Her birthdate came from her cemetery marker; -------I believe Hannah Baker was not married when she had daughter Priscilla. I can not find that she had any other children. On her daughter Priscilla's death certificate it says mother is Hannah Baker, father unknown. Her daughter Priscilla married Allison Wagner. ------I believe Hannah Baker later married her son-in-law (Allison Wagner's) Uncle (William Wagner B.1802 brother to Abraham Wagoner and son of William Wagoner Sr).(see following information) ------1850 census, Clay Twp - Huntingdon co. PA pg 230 - Abraham Wagner 42, Charlotte 42, Allison Wagner was 11 in 1850 and his uncle, William Wagoner 48 (a stonemason) who was single, lived with them; Right next door is John Baker who I believe was Hannah's brother. John was b.1785 d.Jul 22, 1858 married to Hannah charlton b.178?, d. Jul 25, 1848. John Baker has a Rosanna Black living with him, probably a grandaughter. John's son was John C. Baker b.1816 d.1893 and is buried next to Allison Wagoner. He married Catherine J. McNerland. ------1860 census, Shirleysburg - Huntingdon co., PA, pg 147 - Allison Wagner 25, Priscilla 22, and living in the same household is his Uncle, William Wagoner 58 (a stonemason) and wife Hannah 55, he suddenly is married and had a wife named Hannah.....and, Hannah Baker disappeared at this time. I think she married the uncle, William Wagoner. 2 houses away is John MacNerline and wife Mary , most likely Allison's Aunt and William Wagoners sister Mary. Also is a Sarah Bergstresser (John Baker's son Jacob married a Bergstresser) ....too many familiar names. ------In the book titled "A history of the family of Nathan Baker"by Frederick J. McKENZIE on page 7 it does say that they think but are uncertain that Hannah b. 1805 was the daughter of Jacob Baker and Margaret ___. I do believe this is true. There are just too many close ties in the two families. ------1862, Jan 8, - buried in the Cromwell Church Cemetery, Located between the villages of Maddenville and Clear Ridge, west of State Route 475 near the Fulton/Huntingdon County line at the border between southern Springfield Township of Huntingdon County and northern Taylor Township of Fulton County. - Hannah, wife of Wm. Wagner born April 22, 1805, died Jan 8, 1862; No stone for Wm. Wagner. The rest of the graves are Cromwells...T.B. Cromwell and 2 of his children..... were the Cromwells related to her somehow??? Could T.B. Cromwell, the B. be Baker? Possibly Hannah's sister married a Cromwell and this is a son of the sister??? ------Dorothy Angle found in the Huntingdon Historical Library in the German Records, Penn Marriages prior to 1790....April 8, 1774 - Jacob Baker and Hannah Smith married; -------On the 1850 Fulton Co, Taylor Twp., pg 86 census where it lists Hannah Baker & daughter Priscilla, only 2 families away are a Mathias MORT. Hannah's sister Susan married a Jacob MORT.... On the next page is John C. Baker.....again too many familiar names for her not to be daughter of Jacob. ------When Priscilla said she was married at the home of her parents...she might have meant her mother and step father William Wagoner. It's probable that Hannah & William were already married by the time Priscilla and Allison married.....and they all live together in 1860 Generation No. 3 3. SARAH3 WAGONER (WILLIAM2, JOHN1 WAGONER?) was born 1798, and died March 07, 1877 in Buried Old School Bapt. Church cemetery, Huntingdon Co., PA. She married CALEB BROWN, son of JOSHUA BROWN and CHARLOTTE MORRIS(ON). He was born March 24, 1793, and died March 10, 1880 in Buried Old School Bapt. Church cemetery, Huntingdon Co., PA. Notes for CALEB BROWN: NOTES: 3 Brown siblings married 3 Waggoner siblings. Abraham Wagoner married Charlotte Brown Ann Wagoner married John Brown Sarah Wagoner married Caleb Brown Child of SARAH WAGONER and CALEB BROWN is: i. MORRIS4 BROWN. 4. ABRAHAM3 WAGONER (WILLIAM2, JOHN1 WAGONER?) was born December 08, 1808 in Clay, Huntingdon Co, PA, and died April 14, 1879 in Buried Cherry Grove Cem, 3 Springs, Huntingdon Co, PA. He married CHARLOTTE BROWN, daughter of JOSHUA BROWN and CHARLOTTE MORRIS(ON). She was born July 03, 1808 in Huntingdon Co, PA, and died January 27, 1895 in Buried Cherry Grove Cem, 3 Springs, Huntingdon Co, PA. Notes for ABRAHAM WAGONER: PROOF: ------He is mentioned in his father's Will; He and brother William were executors; ----- 1840 Huntingdon Co., Pa, Springfield Twp, census,pg 176 (Abraham wagner 32); -----1850 Huntingdon co, PA, Clay Twp, census pg 230; (Abraham Wagner 42) ------I have copies of pictures of thier tombstones; ----- 3 Brown siblings married 3 Waggoner siblings. Abraham Wagoner married Charlotte Brown Ann Wagoner married John Brown Sarah Wagoner married Caleb Brown Abraham was a carpenter who helped build the Fulton Co. Courthouse. He was a supervisor of Clay Twp from 1850-61 and 1874-75. He is also listed as a farmer. He was a trustee of United Brethren Church Child of ABRAHAM WAGONER and CHARLOTTE BROWN is: i. ALLISON KENTON4 WAGNER, b. March 11, 1834, Clay, Huntingdon Co, PA; d. November 01, 1913, Huntingdon Co, PA; m. PRISCILLA BAKER, August 29, 1859, Cherry Grove, PA; b. November 06, 1837, Fulton Co., PA; d. December 10, 1914, Huntingdon Co, PA. Notes for ALLISON KENTON WAGNER: PROOF: ------1850 census, Clay Twp - Huntingdon co. PA, pg 230 - Abraham Wagner 42, Charlotte 42, Allison Wagner was 11 in 1850 and his uncle, William Wagoner 48 (a stonemason) who was single, lived with them; ------1860 census, Shirleysburg - Huntingdon co., PA, pg 147 - Allison Wagner 25, Priscilla 22, and living in the same household is his Uncle, William Wagoner 58 (a stonemason) and wife Hannah 55, he suddenly is married and had a wife named Hannah.....and, Hannah Baker disappeared at this time. I think she married the uncle, William Wagoner. -----He is buried at Cherry Grove Cemetery, Cherry Grove, PA ---- He was a private in Civil War; -----A carpenter by occupation; NOTES: ------ Allison Kenton Wagoner enlisted in the Civil War in Feb 25, 1864. He started with the Spring Campaign of 1864 in W. Virginia, fought the enemy at Lexington and Moorefield. re-organized near Chambersburg and was recruited for 3 year term. March 1, they proceeded to Martinsburg where it joined forces and proceeded to Cumberland. In April went to Pleasant Valley, MD where it received horses & equipment, receiving courses in drill & discipline, Finally in June they proceeded, by Col. Mulligan as an infantry unit, to Leetown to meet rebel Gen. Early. July 3rd they were attacked by a largely superior force but bravely stood their ground for 8 hours to give relief to the Union forces fighting at Martinsburg. On the 6th & 7th they engaged in skirmishes on Maryland Heights, then fought against Gen. Early again who was advancing towards Maryland to capture the National Capital. ------ On the 22nd they were finally outfitted as Cavalry, joined Gen. Torberts forces, who led the advance of Gen. Sheridan, who had just been put in command of entire army of the Shenandoah Valley. On Aug 20th they joined the attack and covered the retreat of Gen. Sheridan from Cedar Creek. They were in several other small battles. Aug. 25th at Charlestown they sustained considerable losses. They were again in several scattered battles and on Sept 18, Sheridan was now ready to move upon Early with all his forces combined. They charged the enemy at Martinsburg and pursued Early's retreating forces to Winchester. That evening the 22nd led by Maj. Troxell joined in the charge finally routing the enemy and sent them in flight, capturing a battery of 80 men. They continued to route the enemy all the way to Mount Vernon Forge. There in a fierce attack the 22nd took severe losses, and several were taken prisoners. Oct 19th at Cedar Creek again they had a number killed & wounded. They then rested until Dec. 20th after wards they were ordered throughout the remaining winter to clean out several counties which they did. They were constantly in the saddle and exposed to great hardships. April 1865 the remainder of the men whose terms had not expired, continued and consolidated with the 18th regt. forming the 3rd Provisional Cavalry. There they went throughout W. Virginia keeping civil order until they mustered out in Cumberland, MD on Oct 31st. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Garry L.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZdB.2ACI/3096 Message Board Post: I found a picture post card dated July 15, 1908 in a collectibles shop. The initials of the woman writer are: M.B.F. The writer’s photo is on the front of the card. She sent it to: Mrs. Mary Taylor of Clearridge, Fulton County, PA. The contents of the postcard are as follows: “Birmingham, PA. Dear Aunt, I hope you are well but I am not better. I am going down to sister Susan’s next week to stay a while to get a rest then if the Lord spares me, I am coming back and going to the sanitarium hospital at Roaring Springs. They think they can cure me and I cannot live this way. Sadie [Cadie ?] Miller landed safe. Auntie this card will help to keep the rats away. Good by M.B.F.” If anyone can identify this and would like it, I will send it to them. If you reply to me, I can send you a scanned picture of it and send via email.

Hi Listers, I am new to the list and have just recently received info to connect me with a couple of families that spent betwen 20 and 30 years there in the late 1700s and early 1800s. Those I am trying to gather info on are as follows: WAGONNER/WAGONER; John (the father), John (the son) Nope, no Holy Spirit, William and Peter. I found an early Peter WAGGONER on the 1790 census and this could be a brother or father to John, Sr.. John's wife is unknown. There may have been at least 2 daughter in the family also according to several of the Census records. The second Family is SPENCER; James was the father, the sons were William, Zechariah, Elisha, and Israel. One daughter Elizabeth is known, she married William WAGGONER of above family. The wife of James was Rebecca, last name unknown. John WAGGONER, Sr. I think died between 1810 and 1820. Does Huntingdon County have a Will abstract book dating back that far? The WAGGONER/WAGONER boys went west into Eastern and Central Ohio where they all died. The SPENCER family also moved to Ohio or at least several of them did. We have James SPENCER and his wife Rebecca dying there in Morgan Co., Ohio. There was at least one daughter in the SPENCER family too ... maybe more ... she is unknown. It is also possible that John Waggoner was in the REV. War .... is there a pension listing for Huntingdon Co., As you can see if have very little info at this time pertaining to these families, so anything will be greatly appreciated. Another note: John WAGGONER married Nancy or Elizabeth CROSS, and Elisha SPENCER married and Elizabeth WAGGONER. Over the next several generations both of these families inter married with another Huntingdon Co., family and moved to Ohio at about the same time was the KEITH family. Thank You and looking forward to hearing from some of you........ Garry L. McLaughlin Satsuma, Florida

I thought this might be a good time to post what I have compiled now, so far on the Joshua Brown that married Hannah Gatchell, and their son Joshua Brown that married Sarah Balderston Ely. It is quite long so I hope it will all go thru to the list. I have lots more on this group of family also. Kathy Wells. Descendants of Joshua Brown Of Chester & Lancaster Counties, Penn Generation No. 1 1. JOSHUA5 BROWN (JEREMIAH4, JAMES3, RICHARD2 BROWN(E), JOHN1) was born March 05, 1716/17 in New Garden MM, Nottingham, Chester Co., PA, and died December 27, 1798 in Little Brittain, Lancaster Co., PA.

That means they were visiting in Elk Ridge at that time. Also visiting at that time were John Lane, Charity Lane & margaret Lane; ------"Quaker records of Northern Maryland 1716-1800"/Peden, pg 162 - Dec 25, 1800 - Abstracts of Deer Creek Monthly Meeting Minutes, - Joshua Brown, son of Joshua & Hannah Brown, (both deceased), intends to marry Sarah Ely, relict (widow) of Hugh Ely. ------"Quaker Marriage certificates New Garden 1704-1799"/Bjorkman, pg 6 - New Garden MM, - Marriage of Henry Parsons of Nottingham and Margaret Brown widow of Joseph Brown of Nottingham; witnesses: William Brown Sr.; Wm.

Browns together witnesses at several meetings together). --------Lancaster cnty, PA Wills, BROWN, JOSHUA, Wife. Zillah Brown. Children: Elisha, Patience, Jeremiah, Isaak, Mary, Samuel and Lydy. Ex. Zillah Brown. Little Britton Twp. - The will of Joshua Brown Sr. of Little brittain in Lancaster Co, Pa. who was married to 1)Hannah Gatchell and married 2) Zillah Walker is dated Jun 10, 1799. It lists his wife as 'Zillah'. He lists his children: Joshua, Elisha, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Samuel, and daughters Patience Morrison, Lydy, Tillah, & Mary King who married Vincent King. He leaves his mansion & Plantation to son Joshua Brown Jr. This list of names also coincides with the Rev. War Militia Lists for Lancaster County also. ------- "History of Lancaster County" by Franklin Ellis & Sam. Evans published in 1883, on page 861, there is a long article about Judge Jeremiah Brown. It says he married Mary Cole (a widow) of Nottingham. Their children were: Patience, JEREMIAH, JOSHUA and Isaac. It says "Joshua was born Mar 5, 1717. He married Hannah Gatchel in 1736 and 10 of their children grew to manhood. In 1758 he purchased 500 acres in Little Britain now Fulton Twp. (The book was written in 1883, and it states that Jeremiah's descendant Slater F. Brown of the 4th generation, now occupies that land). It states Joshua Brown was a minister for Society of Friends and traveled to Virginia, & North Carolina preaching to friends. He died October 1798 in the 82nd yr of his age. Of his children 4 settled & remained in that area. They were: Mary married Vincent King, Jeremiah, Isaiah and Joshua. Joshua Jr. the youngest son, died in the year 1823 on the mansion farm, leaving no children. And from what I gather, is the one many have used for DAR and other organizations to join as the Joshua Brown in Huntingdon Co that died in 1832.) Joshua's brother Jeremiah purchased his father's mills and a portion of the farm. Jeremiahs sons were: Levi, Jeremiah and Slater." (This accounts for the names Jeremiah Jr. and Slater Brown in the Will mentioned above). -------1790 Census for Penn. under Lancaster County, Little Britain Twp. lists Jeremiah Brown, Joshua, Isaih, Joshua Brown Jr. etc. , these names listed in Lancaster County again coincide with the names of the Wills and Quaker records listed above. -----"Bucks and Lancaster Counties, Pennsylvania, 1682-1825 Land Records " Joshua Brown Residence: West Nottingham, moved from W.

Brown, ------*2nd Wife of Joshua Brown: Zillah (Maule) Walker m: Aft. 1760 in Little Brittain, Lancaster Co (this information came from Sheppard Book titled "Sheppard-Marshall and Allied Families"/Lillian A. Sheppard, PUBLICATION: 1974. After Thomas Maule died, Zillah (Walker) Maule married (Sept. 10, 1767, at Radnor, Pa.) Joshua Brown of Little Britain Twp., Lancaster Co., Pa, by whom she had two children, Lydia and Israel. (Lydia married Merrick Embree and their descendants are numerous in Pennsylvania and elsewhere.) Joshua Brown, a renowned minister of the Religious Society of Friends, was an abolitionist and a temperance advocate; he made quite an impression on the young Maule boys. It is believed Zillah met Joshua when he was on one of his journeys as a Friends minister and was staying at the home of Daniel Walker. Thomas Maule's will was quite unusual, because in it he left his property, including the farm, to Zillah and his children in equal shares, rather than to the oldest child. After Zillah married Joshua Brown, she and the Maule boys moved to Little Britain Twp., Lancaster Co., Pa. The Radnor farm was rented until all the children attained legal age. Rec. of Radnor MM & Phila. MM. 2) In the Quaker minutes of Meetings of Friends (Quakers) (I have copies of these minutes) 'New Garden Monthly Meeting, PA Births & Deaths' and Little Brittain Monthly meeting minutes and MM from Cecil, Maryland, shows: A) Jeremiah Brown married Mary Coale, they had a son B) Joshua Brown b.March 5, 1717 m/ Hannah Gatchell had several children. Some of their sons were: C1) Jeremiah Brown b.1750 d.7-7-1831 m/Hannah England. Jeremiah & Hannah had sons: Slater b.1787, Levi b.1776, & Jeremiah Jr. b.1785. C2) Elisha b.1737 m/Rachel Littler.

It lists his wife as 'Zillah'. He lists his children: Joshua, Elisha, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Samuel, and daughters Patience Morrison, Lydy, Tillah, & Mary King who married Vincent King. He leaves his mansion & Plantation to son Joshua Brown Jr. This list of names also coincides with the Rev. War Militia Lists for Lancaster County also. -------In the Quaker minutes of Meetings of Friends (Quakers) (I have copies of these minutes) 'New Garden Monthly Meeting, PA Births & Deaths' and Little Brittain Monthly meeting minutes and MM from Cecil, Maryland, shows: A) Jeremiah Brown married Mary Coale, they had a son B) Joshua Brown b.March 5, 1717 m/ Hannah Gatchell had several children. Some of their sons were: C1) Jeremiah Brown b.1750 d.7-7-1831 m/Hannah England. Jeremiah & Hannah had sons: Slater b.1787, Levi b.1776, & Jeremiah Jr. b.1785. C2) Elisha b.1737 m/Rachel Littler.

C4) Joshua Brown b. 2-17-1760, d.8-18-1823 married Sarah ? . They had no children. (see his Will below). ------Will of Joshua Brown Jr. of Little Britain dated Aug 18, 1823. Mentions his wife Sarah. He had no children. He left everything to Isaac Rushes children. Executor was his nephew Jeremiah Brown Jr. Witnesses were: Jeremiah Brown, Wm. Brown, and Slater Brown another nephew.. ( According to the Quaker records which I have viewed and are accessible at several places on the internet, both Jeremiah Jr., and Slater Brown are definitely children of Jeremiah Brown Sr. who is brother to Joshua Brown Jr., and both Jeremiah and Joshua are proven to both be sons of Joshua Brown and Hannah Gatchell.) So this proves this could not be the Joshua Brown that moved to Huntingdon Co, Penn and died there in November of 1832. ------- "History of Lancaster County" by Franklin Ellis & Sam. Evans published in 1883, on page 861, there is a long article about Judge Jeremiah Brown. It says he married Mary Cole (a widow) of Nottingham. Their children were: Patience, JEREMIAH, JOSHUA and Isaac. It says "Joshua Sr. was born Mar 5, 1717. He married Hannah Gatchel in 1736 and 10 of their children grew to manhood. In 1758 he purchased 500 acres in Little Britain now Fulton Twp. (The book was written in 1883, and it states that Jeremiah's descendant Slater F. Brown of the 4th generation, now occupies that land). It states Joshua Brown was a minister for Society of Friends and traveled to Virginia, & North Carolina preaching to friends. He died October 1798 in the 82nd yr of his age. Of his children 4 settled & remained in that area. They were: Mary married Vincent King, Jeremiah, Isaiah and Joshua. Joshua Jr. the youngest son, died in the year 1823 on the mansion farm, leaving no children. (This is the Joshua with the Will stated above. And from what I gather, is the one many have used for DAR and other organizations to join as the Joshua Brown in Huntingdon Co. that died in 1832.) Joshua's brother Jeremiah purchased his father's mills and a portion of the farm. Jeremiahs sons were: Levi, Jeremiah and Slater." (This accounts for the names Jeremiah Jr. and Slater Brown in the Will mentioned above). -------1790 Census for Penn. under Lancaster County, Little Britain Twp. lists Jeremiah Brown, Joshua, Isaih, Joshua Brown Jr. etc. , these names listed in Lancaster County again coincide with the names of the Wills and Quaker records listed above. -----"Bucks and Lancaster Counties, Pennsylvania, 1682-1825 Land Records " Joshua Brown Residence: West Nottingham, moved from W.

Also on Page 363 from the book "History of Huntingdon & Blair Counties"/J. Simpson Africa says "Maddensville...............There was at that time an old saw-mill half a mile up the Little Aughwick, with a small clearing around that and the house of Mr. Brown." that is all in that paragraph. Then on another paragraph it says "Among the early settlers in the vicinity of Maddensville was Joshua Brown, who owned a tract of land up the little Aughwick Creek, now owned by the Madden brothers. Mr. Brown died in the fore part of 1882, aged ninety years." (this was apparently referring to Joshua Brown Jr., son of our Joshua Brown & Charlotte Morris who died September 17, 1884 at about 85 years old.) I am still working on compiling a database of all of the 'Quaker' Browns of Lancaster & Chester Counties in Penn., to see if there are any men that might be of age to have had a son named Joshua Brown (who might be father to our Joshua), other than the 4 we already know of that are definitely not ours which include Joshua Brown married Hannah Gatchell & his son Joshua Brown who died in Little Brittain in 1823. I have found that there are quite a few men, that are the age of the parents of our Joshua Brown, and I can't find lists of children for them. Possibly one of them had a son Joshua, but it is not listed in the local Quaker records that I have found so far???? If anyone is interested in this, I can send them the GEDCOM of what I have so far. hope this helps.
