HELEN, Thank you for the information. I think I had seen almost every one of the Joshuas listed below except the Bucks Co. one. The Joshua b.ca 1716, is the one born May 03, 1717 which is the Joshua Brown that married Hannah Gatchell. The Joshua Brown b.1745 son of Joshua Brown and Hannah Gatchell, supposedly died Jan 22,1760 and that is why they named their child that was born in Feb. 1760 Joshua. But, I have to admit I can't find in any Quaker records the recorded death in Jan 1760. But then, why would they name a second son Joshua if they already had one that was still alive by that name? So he probably did die, I just haven't found the reference. Several other researchers have that death date. This Joshua [[> There is also a Joshua Brown in Bucks County he appears as follows: Brown, Joshua- December 31, 1784 Parents Charles and Charlotte- Records of the Falls Friends Monthly Meeting birth records begin 1683.]] Our Joshua Brown was definitely b.abt. 1765 (within a year or so), and he did have a son named Joshua, but he was definitely born September 26, 1799. So the one above, son of Charles & Charlotte unfortunately can't be ours either because he would be way too young, and because that is not the birthdate of the child of our Joshua, then Charles would not be our Joshua either??? Whew!! I get exhausted trying to figure this one out! :~) I really appreciate everyone for trying to help. I may try to concentrate on the Maryland side of the border now and see if anything familiar strikes a cord. thanks, Kathy Wells. ----- Original Message ----- From: <HiTudy@aol.com> To: <PAHUNTIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2003 3:04 PM Subject: Re: [PAHUNTIN] Joshua Brown info > Kathy, > Humphrey's Pa.

I think it is horrid that anyone would consider destruction of our=20 heritage in such a manner. And, perhaps if we all write to the "powers that= =20 be" then we may be able to prevent this from happening. As all of you know,= =20 it is hard enough for us to find original source documents when we are=20 researching. And, to think that some of these legislators want to destroy=20 those that do exist is tragic. >From Virginia Tidewater Genealogical Society "VIRGINIA SENATE BILL 818-E2-80-94-DESTRUCTION OF WILL FILES. January 31, 2003 Virginia Senate Bill 818 Destruction of will files. Allows the clerk to destroy a will's file along with the original will after it is no longer of any value and after it has been microfilmed. Has been reported out of committee. Senator Thomas K. Norment, Jr. of Williamsburg is the only patron. I found it on the internet at the Virginia General Assembly web site. The description of the Bill reads as follows: "Destruction of will files. Allows the clerk to destroy a will's file along with the original will after 5 years have passed since probate or recordation and allows destruction of originals of instruments which have been recorded and remained unretrieved by the recording party after 6 months, if the documents are no longer of any value and have been microfilmed." Go to http://legis.state.va.us/ Virginia General Assembly and type "SB818" (without quotes) in the search box at the top right. You'll get the description and status. This is the web site for the VA General Assembly, http://www.alz-nca.org/vapolicy/assembly.asp I recommend each and every member be contacted and I suggest we all take an active interest and pass this on to other lists and county web pages to start a grass roots effort to stop this senseless destruction of our history. - --------------------------------------------------------------------- I The Senate passed the bill with a 40 - 0 vote and has sent the bill on to the House. I recommend those of us who object to this should send our letters and emails immediately. - --------------------Someone just emailed me with this question: Is our history really destroyed, as long as the records have been microfilmed? This is maybe an even better way of keeping records safe, don't you think? My reply: No, not at all. I have seen microfilmed records with a hand over part of the information, where the page was partially folded therefore covering information, a bent card with a permanent crease that destroyed part of the information or so scratched that it was impossible to read the document. To add my two cents worth, what about the person who does not really know how to microfilm a record and either copies it as too dark or too light and it is unreadable? Or copies only part of the record? This fall I drove from TX to NC to get a copy of a will only to find that whoever copied it make a very dark copy and it could not be read as it was. It was not until I reversed the darkness that I was able to get a partial copy. This will was written in 1689---who would want to destroy that kind of history? Librarians throw book at closing state library By Ron Hayes, Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Sunday, February 16, 2003 After Florida's librarians learned last month that Gov. Jeb Bush wants to=20 dismantle the Florida State Library and fire 55 employees, they decided=20 maybe silence isn't always golden. And their roar has been growing ever since. Wednesday evening, about 50 area librarians -- city, county, academic, legal= =20 and corporate -- gathered in a meeting room at the Palm Beach County=20 Library's main branch on Summit Boulevard in suburban West Palm Beach. Two hours and a lot of questions and complaints later, they had unanimously=20 adopted a resolution calling on the governor to spare the institution, which= =20 was founded in 1845 when Florida became a state. Now, 158 years later, Bush wants to scatter it here and there to save $4.7=20 million out of a $54 billion budget. "Tell your legislators, 'Stop!' " Palm Beach County Library Director Jerry=20 Brownlee urged the crowd. "We need to reconsider this right now. It doesn't=20 mean there can never be any changes to the Florida State Library, or we=20 can't do what needs to be done to balance the budget, but this is a serious=20 matter." Artifacts are volatile issue The Florida State Library is 120 employees on 1 1/2 floors of the R.A. Gray=20 Building in Tallahassee, 11 miles of shelf space and a million books,=20 documents and microfilms, all about Florida. But it's also a 1589 map of Sir Francis Drake's attack on St. Augustine. And= =20 the diary of Gen. Thomas Jesup, who captured Chief Osceola in the Seminole=20 Wars of the 1830s. And photographs of Key West in the 1840s. And the=20 original plans for Disney World from the 1960s. Under Bush's plan, that map, the diary, those photographs and everything=20 else in the library's Museum of Florida History and the State Archives would= =20 be transferred to the state's Park Services under the Department of=20 Environmental Protection. "Putting archives in a recreation and parks department, I take offense at=20 that," said Virginia Farace, director of the Boynton Beach Public Library=20 and president of the Palm Beach County Library Association. "I respect them,= =20 but I don't believe I can do their job, and I don't believe they can do my=20 job." The Bureau of Library Development, which coordinates summer youth programs=20 and steers federal grant money to develop local libraries, would be moved to= =20 the newly created Department of State and Community Partnership. Most drastically, though, the circulating collection of about 500,000 books=20 and documents also would be moved -- as soon as the state can find a place=20 to put it. Florida State University had been approached about accepting the collection,= =20 but FSU President T.K. Wetherell balked when he was told the books would=20 arrive with neither staff nor budget. "We're not playing a game," Wetherell told The Tallahassee Democrat. "We're=20 out of it." Other universities are being approached, with Nova Southeastern University=20 in Fort Lauderdale often mentioned as a candidate, but librarians argue that= =20 any university -- especially a private one, like Nova -- will always put its= =20 students ahead of the public. "If push comes to shove between serving the general public and serving their= =20 students, they'll serve their students," Brownlee predicted. Changing of the guard Wednesday's meeting had been postponed from December, when State Librarian=20 Barratt Wilkins was to have been the guest speaker. But Wilkins begged off=20 with vague apologies and suggested the later date. And then, on Jan. 6, he=20 resigned after 26 years on the job. "The first I learned of the plan was on November 22," Wilkins later wrote to= =20 the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation and Economic=20 Development, which will consider the budget request in March. "I was sworn=20 to secrecy. At that time I decided to retire. Of course, I do not agree with= =20 the Governor's plan." Local librarians had hoped the new state librarian, Judith Ring, would=20 appear instead. She didn't, but sent a four-page letter defending the plan. "The Governor is fully aware of the history of the Division and its=20 importance to Florida's citizens," Ring assured them. On Friday, Florida Department of State spokeswoman Jenny Nash emphasized=20 that Bush's proposed budget includes $45.6 million for libraries. Nash could not cite any money specifically set aside to support the state=20 archives but said 15 of the department's 19.5 employees (one part-timer)=20 would be transferred to the Department of Environmental Protection, along=20 with the museum collection. Nash declined to identify specific sites where the circulating collection=20 may find a home but noted that Nova Southeastern receives about 50 percent=20 of its development money from Broward County taxpayers. And, she said, it is possible the circulating collection may be split among=20 several different depositories. "I don't know if it will be moved or divided between libraries," Nash said.=20 "We hope to maximize the use of the interlibrary loan service so no matter=20 where it ends up, it will be accessible anywhere in Florida." Nash noted that the state library's annual circulation is only about 60,000,= =20 comparable to a small branch library. But librarians say it's unfair to=20 compare a sophisticated historical library filled with important but arcane=20 works to that of a library that offers Stephen King and Danielle Steele. "This is a library that serves librarians, not that many people go in off=20 the street," conceded Annie Kaklamanos, librarian for the 4th District Court= =20 of Appeal in West Palm Beach. "But they help me a lot. They not only loaned=20 me a document that's very rare, they overnighted it to me for the court to=20 use. Now I'm going to have to chase around and find out where all these=20 documents land." Ed Nordine, library director at Palm Beach Atlantic University, said the=20 state library helps smaller libraries such as his develop. "As PBAU grows, we have more faculty doing specialized research," Nordine=20 said, "and when the littler libraries get left out of the picture, we lose=20 access to those materials." Office emptying? The $4.7 million saved would be a very minor benefit for such a major=20 upheaval, the librarians agreed. "No one believes money is the reason for this particular decision," Brownlee= =20 said, and Wednesday's meeting was spiced with fearful speculation from=20 librarians who began by saying, "I don't want to sound like a conspiracy=20 theorist, but... " One librarian who wasn't afraid to speculate was Jane Terwillegar, director=20 of the Lake Park Public Library. "The governor said in his inaugural speech that he really wanted to empty=20 the offices in Tallahassee, and I see this as a part of that effort," she=20 said. On Jan. 30, Terwillegar, Brownlee, Farace and about 100 other members of the= =20 Florida Library Association met with Ring, interim Secretary of State Ken=20 Detzner and Deputy Secretary of State Frank Mann at the Leon County Public=20 Library in Tallahassee. "They outlined what they were planning to do, and we booed and hissed,"=20 Terwillegar recalled. And then they came home and started "Save Your State=20 Library," issuing resolutions, writing letters, raising money and calling=20 legislators to rally support. They are not alone. The national American Librarian Association, the=20 American Association of Law Libraries and the Florida State Genealogical=20 Society have written Bush opposing the plan. On Monday, the Florida Historical Society established an online petition=20 protesting the closing. By Friday, more than 4,500 signatures had been=20 attached, with another 1,100 awaiting verification, according to Nick Wynne,= =20 its executive director. ______________________________ Family History Radio announces eGenConference The first global Genealogy Conference offered on the Internet Scheduled for June 10-12, 2003 Salt Lake City, Utah =96 (February 18, 2003) Family History Radio, LLC=20 (www.familyhistoryradio.com) announced today the debut of the first Internet= =20 based genealogy conference, eGenConference.

Debbie, I live in Greensburg and it appeared in todays paper. Here it is, PAUL J. BILOTT - 84 of Larimer died Saturday, March 1, 2003, in Westmoreland Regional Hospital, Greensburg. He was born March 10, 1918, in Larimer, a son of the late Carmine and Elizabeth Colinear Bilott. Prior to retirement, Mr. Bilott was a self-employed contractor. He was a member of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church in North Huntingdon and a U.S. Navy veteran of World War II. He was chief of the Larimer Vol. Fire Dept and a founding member of the Larimer Buckhorn Club. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by four brothers, Alfonso, James, Louis and Nicholas and a sister, Rose Weber. Surviving are his wife, Audrey Edwards Bilott; two daughters, Patricia LaFond and her husband Robert, of Flossmoor, Ill., and Becky Bilot of North Huntingdon; four grandchildren, Christina Fink, Melissa Judson, Anita Hindsley and Cynthia LaFond; six great grandchildren, Nicholas, Courtney, Joshua, Allison, Adelaide and Caleb; and a brother, Charles Bilott of Larimer. Friends will be received at the Shirley-Kukich Funeral Home Inc., Clay Pike, Circleville, North Huntingdon, Monday from 2 to 9 p.m. A funeral Mass will be celebrated Tuesday at 10 a.m. in St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church, North Huntingdon, followed by interment in Immaculate Conceptions cemetery. Helen Howard

First, let me apologize by saying that my request is a little off the subject, but still geneaology related... A relative of mine passed away in Larimer, PA, which is in the vicinity of Greensburg, McKeesport, etc. Paul Bilott passed away on Saturday, March 1, 2003, and I am hoping that if anyone on the list lives in that area, they might kindly transcribe his obituary for me. I am assuming it would either appear in today's Sunday paper or tomorrow's paper. I do not have access to a local paper from the area, and I certainly do not want to bother his family at this point. Thank you, Debbie Fisher

Thank you very much for these several bits of information. Everything fit into my data base, except the last item which I am not sure if I have the right John O. Rouse and wife. He was married in 1862, but died in Jul 1, 1869, suppose to could have joined the Brethen Church before his death, but he is buried in the Shade Gap Presbyterian Church Cemetery. Thanks again for your efforts.

Still trying to locate additional information on a William and Sylvania/Selma Laird who were in Huntingdon Co. PA for the 1830 Census and then in Centre Co for the 1840 through the 1860 Census. Sons names were George, William, Jonathan and Joseph. Possible name of one of their daughters was Mariann. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks. Anne

Kathy, Humphrey's Pa. Births are a wonderful source. There are 15 volumes. They are Eastern Pa. births before 1700. I did find several Joshua Browns but they weren't in Lancaster County. They were in Chester County. They appear as follows: Brown, Joshua August 27, 1796- Parents David and Hannah- Baptised at Kennett Square Monthly Meeting, established in 1686 Brown, Joshua- June 20, 1745- Parents Joshua and Hannah Brown- Records of the Nottingham Monthly Meeting established in 1729. Brown, Joshua- February 17, 1760- Parents Joshua and Hannah Brown - Records of the Nottingham Monthly Meeting established in 1729 (Strange there are two Joshuas listed as being sons of Joshua and Hanna. Perhaps the first Joshua died????) Brown, Joshua - February 1, 1762- Parents Elisha and Rachel-Records of the Nottingham Monthly Meeting established in 1729. (Maybe this one is yours????) Brown, Joshua - circa 1716 Parents not given - Records of the Nottingham Monthly Meeting established in 1729. There is also a Joshua Brown in Bucks County he appears as follows: Brown, Joshua- December 31, 1784 Parents Charles and Charlotte- Records of the Falls Friends Monthly Meeting birth records begin 1683. There are other children listed as being born to Charles and Charlotte in Bucks County, as there are also more children listed as being children of Joshua and Hanna in Chester County. It is strange that there was a Charles married to a CHARLOTTE as that is one of the names you mentioned as being a wife. Do you think he could have possibly been Charles Joshua or Joshua Charles. Just a thought. Helen

Sorry - I clicked the previous e-mail "Send" button too fast. I would like to thank Nance and those who responded to my inquiry about the book History of Mt. Union - two kind people did respond and nothing was found in that book. thank you all - Ahlive

HELEN, I am hunting Joshua Brown b.ca 1765 either Md/or Penn. He died November 26, 1832, and was married on December 22, 1790 to Charlotte Morris. Most of this came from a bible record. I have everything I need on his children and grandchildren on down. But it is a big mystery trying to lcoate who his parents were and where he was from. Many researchers try to say he is the son of Joshua Brown and Hannah Gatchell in Lancaster Co. But clearly in the Quaker records and probate records, the Joshua Brown b. 2-17-1760, son of Joshua Brown and Hannah Gatchell died in Lancaster Co. in 1823. He left a descriptive Will...so there is no doubt. The strange thing of it is, that my Joshua Brown and this Brown expanded family in Lancaster County did use the same repeated children's name patterns. Soooo...I'll keep hunting for a scrap of proof. I have not heard of this source. [Have you looked in John Humphrey's Pennsylvania Births?] Do you happen to have access to this where you could see if they have my Joshua or any 'Browns' in Huntingdon Co.? There was also a William Brown with similar childrens names that was in Huntingdon County in the 1770s-1780s. He might be a brother to my Joshua Brown. So any 'Brown' information might be helpful. thanks, Kathy Wells.

Patsy, In Biographical Encyclopedia of Juniata Valley, it makes a small reference to a Sarah Chilcoat who married a Henry Huntsman. It is under an article on the Chilcoat family. Sarah was a daughter of Benjamin and Comfort McLain Chilcoat. Helen

J. Simpson Africa's History of Huntingdon County. 1883 Dublin Twp Early settlers and pioneers. William Swan was one of the pioneer settlers, arriving in 1784. He took up two hundred acres NE of the Hudson tract. (the Hudson tract was 300 acres at the foot of the mountain, below what is now Shade Gap borough. Wm. Swan's tract was divided and then owned by Widow Shearer & Widow Hooper). Among the other early settlers who came between 1790 & 1812 was John Swan. W. C. Swan owned a store in the borough of Shade Gap in 1882. He was a school director in 1874, 1878, and 1881. President of the school in 1882. One of the present trustees (assuming 1883) of the Presbyterian Church is John J. Swan. The Shade Gap Cornet Band was organized in Nov. 1880 with fifteen members. In 1882, John Swan played 2nd B-flat tenor, and was treasurer of the organization. 1858 John Swan was a Dublin Twp supervisor J.J. Swan was a Dublin Twp supervisor in 1877 William Swan was a township Supervisor in Shirley Twp in 1789. J. O. Rouse and wife were among the original members of the Mount Union United Brethren Church which was organized in 1869. John Rouse is supposed to be on p. 267 in Dublin twp, but I cannot find him. I've looked several times with my magnifying glass with no luck. I hope you can find some helpful tidbits from what is here.

Kathy: Don't let the "born MD" throw you--a lot of PA people that lived on the border used this term. And they used both PA AND MD courts to record their transactions. I have found this in Adams Co. (which came from York). They have transactions in Adams, York, and Frederick, MD. And one guy had his will done in Frederick and Huntingdon Cos. Good Luck, Doris Snyder
