Or were the border wars referred to perhaps the aftermath of the Seven Years' War and Pontiac's Rebellion. This led to the tensions that resulted in the burning of Hannastown and many of the earliest white settlers returning east in the 1780s. -smb

James Adam(s) Dixon's mother was Mary Polly Adams, so I would guess that since Mary Polly Adams was born in 1814 and Samuel Douglas Adams was born in 1811 that they were most likely siblings? Does anyone have any information on this?

I have a James Adam Dixon married to Eve Heberling, the only other information is that they lived in Sandy Twp., Clearfield Co., PA and I have a few land deeds with his name on it. I would very much like to have more information on James Adam Dixon and his wife Eve. I wonder why Samuel Douglas Adams would have been living in their household.

Thought this might help someone. Indiana Democrat (Indiana, Pennsylvania) February 23,1888 Golden Wedding The little city of Homer, Indiana Co., Pa., was today, Feb. 15, 1888, the scene of a brilliant special event in the celebration of a golden wedding. On the 15th., of February 1838, Mr. Samuel St. Clair and Miss Catharine Miller were united in the bond of matrimony by the Rev. John Reed then a resident of Washington County, Pa. Samuel was the third son and the fifth child of James and Jennie St. Clair and a grandson of James St. Clair who served as a volunteer in the war of the Revolution. His parents came to this region from York Co., in the year 1809, and reared their primitive home in the unbroken forest, filled with wild game, the haunt of savage wild beasts and more savage wild men. Of a family of ten children, eight sons and two daughters five sons yet remain, the youngest of these is now past sixty, the father and mother having past the river at the ripe age of four score and three score and ten. A similar occasion was afforded the family friends by an older brother, Ex-Judge James St. Clair, of Punxsutawney, some five years ago, thus showing that length of days and long life has been the blessing unto the fathers and upon the children in their generations. Mrs. Samuel St. Clair was the oldest daughter of James and Nancy Miller, who came from the "Emerald Isle" beyond the sea in the year 1817. The family of these parents consisted of eight daughters all of whom still remain, the youngest now nearly sixty. To Samuel and Catharine St. Clair were born eleven children, the following ... James M., Isaac, Nancy Jane, (Mrs. E.M. Evans), Alexander, Lizzie, (Mrs. Harvey Stewart), Caroline, (Mrs. Robert Geary), Samuel Allen, and Maggie R., yet remain and were present, a grateful offspring mindful of a kind fathers provision and a tender mothers care. Of the family name were present some forty, these together with the many friends swelled the happy group to over one hundred. Of those from afar there was present Mrs. A.W. Daisem, of West Chester, Pa., her residence at one time being at Homes, in the person of a former minister's wife, the Rev. D.G. Robinson, dec'd. Letters of regret were also received from many friends who by unavoidable circumstances were hindered from being present. Many were the gifts, elegant and appropriate, which came by the hands of relatives and friends, worthy of special mention were the following: To Mr. St. Clair, from his brothers, an elegant gold-headed ebony cane with an appropriate inscription, when the formal presentation was about to be made, Ex-Sheriff J.R. Daugherty, of Indiana, was chosen to preside, Hon, Thomas St. Clair, M.D., in his usual happy style, made the fitting presentation. Rev. R.H. Fulton, in behalf of Mr. St. Clair received the gift and responded in terms and manner that were highly appreciated. To Mr. and Mrs. St. Clair was donated by various friends, a black and gilt purse well filled with gold, and to each of the pair, by the sons, an elegant easy chair in old gold cover; whilst the table at the head of the stairway was a spread of elegance. A bountiful repast of dainties rich and rare, was served at 6 p.m., wherein each guest seemed eager to prove himself worthy such favored hospitality, and tripping maidens showed their fitness to endure in wedded life for fifty years and more. As the evening wore away the varied pleasing incidents were interspersed with songs that stirred the hearts with memories of long ago and with hopes of a better future. The Rev. R.H. Fulton was called upon at length and responded in an address most suitable to the occasion being both amusing and instructive, and the good attention given him while speaking and the hearty manner in which he was applauded at the close proved that it was highly appreciated by all. Happy was our meeting and cordial was our greeting 'twixt brother and brother, and friends proven true by years gone by. May we all meet again in the happy reunion above. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online. File on time. http://taxes.yahoo.com/filing.html

In the 1880 census Samuel Douglas Adams b February 23, 1811 Indiana County Pa. age 69, a widower, was listed as a painter living in the household of James A Dixon in Sandy, Clearfield Pa. His parents were supposedly from Scotland. According to familysearch.org Samuel died April 11, 1887, but we haven't been able to find out where. Am hoping to find some information surrounding his death so that we can find out who his parents and siblings were. Thanks in advance for any information.

Northwest The War of 1812 sealed the fate of the First Nations of the eastern United States. This is the tragic story of the Northwest Frontier. Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and western Upper Canada became the graveyard of Native hopes. A true border war, *****the fighting in the Northwest was intense and savage - the horrors of massacre, scalping and torture never distant.

My cousin from Indiana County got married in Elkton, Maryland in 1982 on the spur of the moment .... no waiting. So it's still a haven for those having the urge to tie the knot quickly.

My paternal grandparents from Westmoreland County also eloped to Wellsburg, WV they took a Greyhound Bus from Pittsburgh. He was 22 but she was 17 and her father was against them marrying.

My Mom and Dad married in 1920. At that time they could connect to passenger trains from Cherry Tree in Indiana Co. and they went to Cumberland Md. That is just across the border. There was no waiting period and they were not 21. They went to the courthouse and got a license and then went to a minister and were married in the rectory. His wife was their witness. They stayed overnight and went back home the next day. My Mom (aged 102) is still sharp as a tack. I will write and ask her if that also was the reason people went to W.Va. When I was in H.S. in the 50's people also ran away (or talked about it) to Maryland.

My mom and dad eloped to Wellsburg because they wanted to keep their marriage a secret. If it had been known that my mom was married she would have lost her job at the company store. Once you were married you were meant to stay at home. Mom will be 94 this June and loves to tell the stories of growing up.

Found this on google http://www.kittanning.com/walkingtour/acwarmem.html Deb

I have a couple of questions for the group. When I was back home in the Kittanning area, I noticed that the wall at the Kittanning courthouse that commemorates the men killed in the various wars that Armstrong County men participated in, had no names listed for the Revolutionary war but quite a few names for the "Border Wars". My questions are these; Who were the border wars with and when did they take place? Also, Did Armstrong County and vicinity not have any residents at the time of the American Revolution or did the war not extend that far West? Thanks to anyone who answers. Sandy Lockhart Mundinger

John, Wellsburg, WV was a 'hot spot' for people who wanted to get married and did not meet PA's age requirements in the early 1900's. In the 1880's and 1890's people went from Wheeling to Bellaire, OH to get married 'quietly'. For some reason in the 1950's and 1960's people from western PA went to Winchester, VA. Perhaps WV and OH changed their standards? Pat
