Holly, I was reared and live about 12 miles from Shirleysburg in Southern Huntingdon County. I sure would enjoy reading your papers on George Croghan. Gay L.

I believe that the first deed issued in Bedford Co in 1771 was to George Croghan and was signed by the "icons" of Indian chiefs.

Hello Karen and list. I am a new subscriber with interest in the Jenkins surname. My ancestor Hannah Jenkins was born 1772, married to Benedict Stevens in 1793, and died in 1825. She is buried at the old Baptist Burying grounds in Shirley. I believe she was a Grandaughter of John Roberts who left a will in 1819 and mentions grandaughter Hannah Stevens. There is a Benjamin Jenkins found in the Shirley census in years 1790 to 1810. My best guess is this would be her father. Does anyone know more about Hannah Jenkins Stevens or this Benjamin Jenkins and family. I am enjoying the posts to this list. Very informative. Mary Alice

Hi Sue, I did get the Joshua Brown land warrant from Blair County, but keep in mind that it was a Bedford county land warrant. The part of Bedford County that apparently turned in to Huntingdon County. I don't know why Blair County ended up with all of the land warrants...but I'm thankful they did because they got me a copy very quickly. But Joshua Brown & Family was never in Blair County himself that I have found. Only Bedford/Huntingdon area.

I've been on the list for a couple of months now observing and am very impressed with the comraderie on this list. I would like to take a moment to introduce the names I am researching in Huntingdon County in hopes of finding a connection or direction as to were to obtain information. Samuel George Dysard b. 1841 d. 1918, Huntingdon Co., PA m. Mary Jane Black b. b. 1845 d. 1914, Huntingdon Co. PA I'm trying to find the parents of Samuel George and the father of Mary Jane. According to his obituary, Samuel George came to this country as a child of about 5-6 with his parents from Germany. According to his Civil War pension file, he was raised from the age of 5-6 by a man named George Numer who stated in his affadavit that he was "in no way related to the claimant". He is living with George Numer and his family in Henderson Township, Huntingdon County in the 1860 Census. According to Huntingdon County Tax lists, George Numer came to Huntingdon County from Cumberland County in @1852 when Samuel George was @11 years old. Mary Jane was raised as the daughter of Robert and Susannah(Unknown) Black. She is with living with them in Henderson Township, Huntingdon County in the 1860 Census. According to her death certificate her father's name was Detweiler. It is speculated that Susannah was a Detweiler and Mary was born out of wedlock. At any rate Robert Black raised her as his own and she used his last name so it is also speculated that he adopted her. Samuel G. and Mary Jane are my 3rd great grandparents and my brick wall. s/o Samuel George and Mary Jane(Black) Dysard Samuel Edward "Ed" Dysard b. 1875, Henderson Twp., Huntingdon Co., PA, d. 1959, Jackson Twp., Huntingdon Co., PA, married Caroline Jane "Callie" (Ankney) Cogley b. 1873, Cook Twp., Westmoreland Co., PA, d. 1956, Huntingdon Co., PA "Callie" was married twice, 1---George Grant Cogley b. 1865, Belleville, Mifflin Co., PA d. 1900, Winslow, IL.

It seems that there were other Long families. Joseph Long & Elizabeth Good had twelve children and resided in Germany Valley, PA from 1795 until his death in 1804. Their daughter, Catharine, married Jacob Lutz (my ggggrandfather) in 1788. Germany Valley is located in southern Huntingdon County, PA.

SUE, I did indeed say and think that Charlotte's maiden name was Morrison, although recently I have been writing it as Morris(on) because I didn't know which was correct. I just got these bible records this past month, and it clearly states her maiden name as Morris. But, keep in mind that I still question these bible records, at least until someone we know actually views the bible and feels sure that all of the writing on them was done at one time back years ago. If someone possibly added the 'Cumberland, MD' part, then they could have added the 'Morris' part also. But I am not saying that is the case.....I just don't know. What I received was a copy, so I definitely don't know for sure. I found several Morrisons living near the Browns in different parts of Penn., but could not find one that had a daughter named Charlotte....at least not yet. We might eventually. So, I am still willing to go either Morris or Morrison. One other reason though, that we might lean towards the Morris name. And that is that they had 3 grandsons named Morris Brown. Their youngest son George Washington Brown named a son Morris Brown; their oldest son Caleb named a son Morris Brown; and their son Jeremiah Brown had a son named Morris Brown. At least that is what I have been told by descendants of these 3 sons of Joshua & Charlotte.??? Now for the Lancaster Browns. Maybe Jeremiah Brown (the one that married Mary Royal Coale) had a brother, who might have had a grandson that is our Joshua. I have not checked that far back. I did check out all of Jeremiah's children, and did not find any of them with a child named Joshua that is not accounted for in the Quaker records. A couple of them did have a son Joshua, but those Joshua's are also well documented in the Quaker records. I had hoped someone might have this family charted out on the internet with the sources and the Quaker minute references noted. But I haven't found one yet, so I guess I may try to do that. That might help. I have a big stack of copies I made from the Hinshaw books, the original quaker records at the LDS library, and other books on Quaker records. I will try to organize it and put it in a FTM file so it is better organized and everyone can see what I found. Then we can better see, what tact to take next. I do feel like there is a good chance that he fits into that bunch somewhere, as do the Baltimore, MD Browns. It's like a giant puzzle that is getting bigger and bigger :~). HELP!

Kathy, I have read other referances to Charlottes name and it is spelled Morrison. As a matter of fact I found an article of yours on the internet, Joshua Brown of Lancaster Co unty, and you spell Charlottes last name Morrison there. It is also spelled Morrison in an article in a Commerative biographical Encylopedia of Juniatta Valley. Also about the Browns being born in Md. It is very possible. As after 1730 some of the Nottingham descendants began to move to other regions, cheaper land prices, bettere economic opportunities, plu s overcrowding caused by the influx of settlers who purchased land near Nottingham were factors that caused some of the descendant families to migrate south and west. Some of the descendants relocated to Philadelphia and Baltimore areas and intermarried. And it is well know that Jeramiah Brown was one of them and he settled in rising sun where his house is still located in a park. It is on one of Mds, scenic byways, Atlantic to Appalations. Plus in 1701 all 18,000 acres of Nottingham lay in Chester county, Pa. However after the settlement of the Mason -Dixon line in the late 1760's only 1300 acres of the original Nottingham Lots remained in Chester co unty Pa. and the other 16,700 acres became part of Cecil County Md. As Jeramiaha moved to Rising Sun it is very likely that some of his children moved there as well, aqnd it would explain Joshua being born in Cumberland Md. and traveling over the mtns to Huntington County, Pa. Another fact I seem to forget to mention toyou is that Joshuas land was supposed to take u p the land where Maddensville now stands. Sue
