Hi Just my two cents.... I have a Bateman in the family that had out lived at least four wives. And each time one died he remarried within a year. So... Alot of men remarried after the death of their wife. And so some say that they had to have more children to help with the farm. So another wife and more children.

<<I have Mary Agnes Dick, b 1838 in Brush Valley (sister of my grandfather John K. Dick) married to Andrew Simpson.>> That's interesting. I have John Kelly Dick married to Susan Pringle, and he had a brother "James" K. Dick married to Sowers. Can you straighten that out? Thanks, Tom

I have one Simpson in my family tree. Robert Sample married Mary Simpson. Their daughter Isabella Sample was born ca 1850 and she married David Lemon who was born in Springdale, Allegheny County in 1848. I do not know where the Simpson or Sample families lived. If anyone knows about this Simpson/Sample family, please let me know.

Tom- I do have some connections to a Simpson family from that area. William and Alexander Patterson owned property that was located near Nolo and was partly in Pine, Buffington and Brushvalley township. Alexander died in 1849. His wife Martha Campbell Patterson later married Robert Simpson, who was a neighbor. Suncliff is just to the west of the Pattersons, so there could be a contection. I do have maps of property lines and such, but have not looked at them recently to give you specifics. Get back with me at dalepatterson@insightbb.com if any of this connects. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom" <tomchapman@adelphia.net> To: <PAINDIAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 13, 2004 5:58 PM Subject: [INDIANA] Simpson > Hello Listers: > > Is anybody here familiar with the Simpson family of Brushvalley - or the properties around Suncliff circa 1840 or so? > > tom > > > ==== PAINDIAN Mailing List ==== > Having trouble unsubbing?

I'd like to remind everyone that you should request the estate or probate papers for the person in question, not just the will. The estate papers should include the will if there was one. On the other hand, if you just request the will and there wasn't a will, you will get nothing. The estate papers usually include the affidavit of death, the list of appraised items, the sale listing, and the disbursements that were made to creditors and heirs.

How do you request the will? Can you just request by the name even if you don't have any other info?

They only accept written request. Include a check for $3.00 (nonrefundable) made out to "Patricia Streams Warman - mail to: Indiana Co. Register and Recorder Indiana Co.

Can someone please give me the address for requesting wills in Indiana County? I used to have it (even received some wills in the past), but I just cannot locate it now that I need it again! Also, I believe they used to charge $3.00 per will. Does anyone know if this is still true? Thanks so much! I really need to get all my papers organized :-) Ann Marie

Notices and attempts to sell the land could continue for years. If the owner died and property went to the heirs, they would be responsible for keeping up the tax payments. When looking through old newspapers I find allot of the same properties being sold for taxes owed. Sometimes if the heirs cannot agree on how to settle the property the sale can be held off for years.

I just came across a notice in the Indiana Gazette for May 2, 1906 stating the following: Treasurer's Sale of Unseated Lands for Taxes Assessed for the Years 19903, 1904: In pursuance of the Act of Assembly, I will expose to sale in the Court House in Indiana Pa. on Monday, June 11, 1906 at 1:00 p.m. the following pieces of unseated land: (Cherry Tree) Acres - 7 1/2 Name - John F. Notley, Hanna Smith, George Atchison hr's Tax and Cost - 1 91 I am not sure what this means. If this is the George Atchison that lived in Cherry Tree, he died in 1877. John F. Notely died in 1893. I don't know who Hannah Smith is but I am wondering if the "hr's" refer to heirs and this means that the heirs have forfeited land because they failed to pay taxes due on inherited property. Any thoughts? Ann __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Search - Find what you�re looking for faster http://search.yahoo.com

I hope you all will forgive this little aside. I'm Gene Warner, Director of the LDS Indiana, Pa., Family History Center located on old Rt. 119 north of Indiana, Pa. We now have full and complete access to Ancestry.com at our Center. We do not charge the public for using this service but we do charge $1.00 per hour of computer usage. (This affords us the ability to recoup our internet connection fee to Adelphia. I will soon be making a general announcement in the Gazette about this new feature. Please email me off list if you need more "general" information. Thanks, Gene W. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

My interest in genealogy began about two years ago and I got wrapped up in joining everything I could find and found that all I got for the most part was broke. I do like Ancestry.com and have found a lot there. I, however, do not recommend the newspaper option. It is not very effective. If you are searching for a John Smith it will take you to pages with John and with Smith but not the name together so for me it is useless. I do like the census. To join just the basic at Ancestry it is 39.95, The census is extra as are a lot of the other options. I only have the basic and the census and that serves me well. I would like to thank the others who have suggested Heritage Quest. I will certainly check my local library for that. A cousin had told me about that a while back and I forgot all about it. Happy Hunting Pat Collins (Ruffner, Tilton, Scott, Morris, etc)

A few back to 1860s but more up around 1880s. There were 7 different newspapers This is my Bartlebaugh hits and even more when I put in Bartle and they often did Bartle- and baugh on the next line. Now a lot was just the name in a jury pool or in a list of names who gave 50 cents or more to United Way but I saw a photo of my granddads cousin in the high school class of 1921. Just saw all the Indiana County graduation classs for each high school for 1950.
