Someone has suggested I should check the land records (for Mercer Co.) to find out more about my ancestors. Does anyone know how I can do this - from Connecticut? -- Marilyn Hesse Windsor, Connecticut, USA Researching (From Mercer Co,PA) FOULK/McQUISTON/MILLS (From Crawford Co,PA)COOK/DENNIS/HAMILTON/McQUISTON/MILLS/WILLIAMS (Other Locations)BRENNER/CRAIGHEAD/GLASS/HESSE/LYNCH/MOODY/MOORE/ MUELLER/ROBINSON

My direct line is Thomas ROGERS (1795-1882) He was raised, died and buried in Mercer. He was the owner of the "old stone jail" and converted it into a rooming house. I am looking for other ROGERS researchers. also: NICKUM, LAFFERTY, BYERS, CARY (CAREY) WAUGH

I am descended from Robert MILLS(1792-1858) who came to Mercer Co., PA from Ireland in 1831. Wife was Mary Moore(1804-1880). They eventually had 15 children, including my ggrandfather Robert(1835-1891), who married Rebecca McQuiston(1836-1908)and lived in Crawford County, PA. Their son Fred C. Mills(1871-1943)married Jeanette HAMILTON(1874-1951), daughter of James HAMILTON(1816-1887)of Conneaut Lake in Crawford Co. Do you have information on any of these people? I will be glad to send you what I know. -- Marilyn Hesse Windsor, Connecticut, USA Researching BRENNER/CRAIGHEAD/DENNIS/GLASS/HAMILTON/HESSE/LYNCH/ McQUISTON/MILLS/MOODY/MOORE/MUELLER/ROBINSON/WILLIAMS/

Was just reading your email for the ship list and the first name you mentioned "Patterson" as one you recalled seeing I couldn't find. Is it possibly on another list. I would be very interested in seeing where it appears. Re: Marlene and Dennis Burkheimer message Dee Boyd St.Louis, Mo.

Want to share two sites that may be of interest to some of you. One is the Olive Tree website where I have transcribed a ship list from Londonderry Ireland to Philadelphia in 1832 (the ship is named Asia.) Access it at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/iriship2.htm Some names that I recall are Patterson, Blackwell, Gallagher, Doherty and McNutt. Check it out! Another site is the McFate surname website at: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/m/c/p/John-B-McPhate/ This site has reports of descendants of Robert McFate and Father McFate that have many western PA roots.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note from Mercer County Coordinator - I received this message from someone needing help with the history of the French Creek Twp. area. Please contact Mary if you can offer any help. Mike -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, Friend, I live on a farm in Mercer County which, I found after an agonizing search in the courthouse, was awarded to Pvt. William Griffey after the Revolutionary War in about 1780 or so. I searched for the subsequent owners over the next years, but just couldn't figure out how to do it. My parents, Adrien and Charlotte Adelman, owned it when I was a child, and then my sister, Annette Antoun, got it. I would like to write a book about it and the area, as historically accurate as I can, but I need to get information about the people and the area (French Creek Twp.). If you could aim me in the right direction, I would be very happy. I'm semi-retired, but I never seem to get to do this, and I want to, very badly. My email address is mprather@toolcity.net. If this is expensive, I cannot do it. At any rate, please do what you can to guide me. Thank you. Mary Ann Prather mprather@toolcity.net
