So should I assume that this is a mistake and that the correct co. is Northumberland?

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AcB.2ACE/1557.1 Message Board Post: Any land in Mifflin Co. could never have been in Northampton Co. Northampton Co., at the eastern border of Pa., was created in 1752 from Bucks Co.; while Mifflin Co., near the center of the state and roughly two hundred miles west of Northampton Co., was created in 1789 from Cumberland and Northumberland Cos. Since part of Mifflin Co. came from Northumberland Co., perhaps your question should have been to ask if Heidelberg Twp. in Mifflin Co. had ever been in Northumberland Co. However that question creates problems: there is no Heidelberg Twp. in Mifflin Co. There are only four counties today in Pa. that have a Heidelberg Twp.: Berks, Lebanon, Lehigh, and York. I checked for a possible subdivision of an earlier Heidelberg Twp. in Mifflin Co. There is no East Heidelberg, West Heidelberg, North Heidelberg or South Heidelberg Twp. in Mifflin Co., so it appears that subdivision does not account for the disappearance of an earlier Heidelberg Twp. in Mifflin Co. Two adjacent younger counties received land from Mifflin Co., viz., Centre Co. and Juniata Co., but I find no indication that either of these adjacent younger counties ever had a Heidelberg Twp. If there was ever a Heidelberg Twp. in Mifflin Co., it must have had its name changed, and I cannot say what it might have become. The bottom line is that I am wondering how reliable your source of information is concerning a Heidelberg Twp. in Mifflin Co. Nelson R. Sulouff
It is most probable that your ancestor lived in Milroy and commuted to the silk mill in Lewistown, which was not that far away. The Genealogy Nut

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AcB.2ACE/1556.1 Message Board Post: Hello Marcia, In the 1930's and 1940's, when we travelled from Northumberland Co. to visit Grandpa Sulouff's brothers and sisters in Mifflin Co., we always thought of Lewistown and Milroy as being in the same area. Lewistown and Milroy are only about ten miles apart. It was not local raw materials that led to establishment of silk mills in SE Pennsylvania in those days: it was availablity of local work force. Wouldn't it seem unlikely that there were two silk mills within the same small area of Lewistown, Burnham, and Milroy? The next nearest silk mill I know anything about was in Sunbury, some 40 miles to the east. Cheers, Nelson

I've read with interest the info posted regarding Jacob Harshbarger. According to the 1880 census, he and his wife had a 16-year-old farm laborer living with them by the name of William Teenie. William Teenie is my great-grandfather. However, I have no other info on him prior to the 1880 census, including who his parents were and why he was living at the Harshbarger residence. Can anyone assist me? Linda Teenie Hollinger [email protected]
