According to PENNSYLVANIA LINE (1990): There is no Bend Co. in Pa. The counties in Pa. beginning with the letter 'B' are Beaver, Bedford, Berks, Blair, Bradford, Bucks, and Butler. Of these counties, only Buck Co. (formed 1682) existed in September 1738. To make matters worse(:[) or better(¦]), depending your approach to research, the same resource book shows no city, town, or township named New Amithi in Pa. If you do a Google search for "New Amithi," you will be taken to archived messages for Rootsweb MailList postings that discuss this town's name in September 2005. Go to the following: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/PALANCAS/2005-09 http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/PAPERRY/2005-09 and search for the word "Amithi." Happy hunting! Nelson R. Sulouff ///////////////////////////////////// ----- Original Message ----- From: Kathleen Gregory To: PALANCAS-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2006 7:21 AM Subject: [PALANCAS] defunct county Some time ago I asked about the location of New Amithi, PA. I received a typed transcription done in 1926 of the Bible record of James Mitchell b. 28 Sept 1738. In this record it states that his place of birth is New Amithi, Bend County, PA. I couldn't find anything online about a Bend County in PA. Does anyone on this list know about this county or where I should look to find information? Thank you, Kathy
