They continued to live in the Darlington avea all their lives. John was born about 1773 (where?) and he died 1848 in Beaver Co. He had two wives Mary (?) and Ann(?) He was married to Mary in1809, and to Ann in 1819. So I am not sure when one died and when he married again. His one daughter Esther Sharp(Mrs. Jessie Martin) was still alive in the 1880 census probably in Little Beaver Twp. Maybe she would say where her parents were born. A son Joseph B abt 1806 married Anne R. Imbrie. Any help on John, his wives, and their siblings would be appreciated.

I wanted to say a BIG THANKS to Ed for getting the biographies (and all the other stuff) online and especially for getting J.T. Phillips on there for me. Then, I searched the archives of this list, and discovered how much Tami has done (!!) THANK YOU! ~ so now I wish I'd been subscribing to this list a long time ago, instead of filling my mailbox up with Washington Co. stuff!! I don't know why it didn't occur to me (??) oh well... I'm here now! here's my names, etc for Lawrence Co. (New Castle) VAN SWEARINGEN BROWN & LYDIA J. MITCHELL (LYDIA the daughter of JOHN MITCHELL) their children: WILLIAM M.

Hi Listers: I've just subscribed, since I found from NARA military pension records that my Graham family lived in Rockport, Mercer Co., PA around 1835, when David Edward Graham was born. The parents were Robert W. Graham (b. 12/19/1804 Ross Co. OH) and Margaret Wallace Milligan (b. 2/1/1808 Perry Co. PA); m. 4/29/1828 in Perry Co. PA. Living children born "near Harlansburg" PA were David Edward, Margaret Lucinda, Robert Owen, and Harriet Fullenwider Graham. Robert W. Graham may have been a miller. They may have lived in proximity to the Milligan family, and later moved to IL with some Milligans. The family wound up in Coffey Co. KS for a few generations. Any connections would be appreciated. Where is Rockport PA? I can't find it on my map. Gary E. Irwin; Moraga, CA
