Hello, In several contexts I have seen reference to a petition, written in 1728, to the Governor of PA seeking protection from Indians. Transcriptions which I have seen of this petition (sometimes referred to as the "Petition of Colebrookdale Inhabitants" or some such descriptor) provide the names of many (but not all) of the document's signers and then add something like this: "And numerous others."[List ends here] [REFERENCE: PA Archives 1728, 1:1:214] For example, see http://www.rootsweb.com/~GENHOME/clbrdl.htm I would like to know if anyone on this list has any information on this document which might shed light on the names of "numerous others". Alternatively, perhaps someone on this mailing list might know something about the status of the original document? Thank you in advance, and best wishes for the holidays.

To everyone, I just spoke to the Berks County Register of Wills office and they apologize, but their system is down. They have technicians working on it, but cannot give an estimate of when it will be on-line again. Betty Burdan <bjburdan@ptd.net>

I'm looking for any information on the Swartz/Schwartz family in the early 1800's Montgomery Co. What I have is Elias SWARTZ b: Nov 20, 1811 in Hatfield Twp, Montgomery Co, m: in 1834 Bucks Co to Elizabeth CONOVER b: Jun 11, 1814. They had 8 children. Elias died in 1895 in Bucks County. I have been unable to find ANY info regarding Elias Swartz's parents ( so now I'm thinking that maybe his fathers last name was spelled differently- Schwartz, Schwarz, etc..) Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to find some information?? Thanks, Dawn -- Visit Dawn's Ancestry Site at: http://www.geocities.com/sheerhope/index.html

Hi everyone, happy holidays, Could someone please tell me the address of, and directions to, the new St Aloysius Cemetery in Pottstown? Also, does anyone have the dates of the first burials there, after they moved from the old cemetery on High Street? Also, my g grandmother�s second husband lost his life in an explosion at the Lessig Iron Works, in Pottstown, on 7 NOV 1907. Does anyone have information on that facility? Location? Dates of operation? Products? Customers? Anything else that may be helpful? Thanks very much, and again I wish each of you and yours the happiest holiday season ever, Bob Reifsneider Orange Park, FL

My address book

Hi all, I am sending this to several related lists in the hopes that someone out there can give me a lead or steer me in the right direction to solve the mystery. Thanks for any help you can offer. 1. Leah Hittle Hunsberger is my gggrandmother, born 8/3/1824 near Boyertown (Montgomery County), died 8/21/1910 in Reading (Berks County). 2. Leah's obit in the Reading Eagle states that she came to Reading in 1867 and lived at 817 Green St. It also states that she was a member of the Ebenezer Evangelical Church, the daughter of Daniel and Mary Hittel (spelled this way in the paper) and the last of her family. No siblings names are given. 3.Leah married Jesse Hunsberger, b. abt. 10/9/1825 where?, d. 6/22/1901 in Reading. They are both buried in Charles Evans Cemetery in Reading. 4. In the 1850 census, Jesse and Leah are listed as living in Upper Hanover Twp, Montgomery County, with two children, Mary, 2, (my great grandmother) and Sophie, 1. The obits of both Leah and Jesse name a daughter Sallie, at home. Leah's will names a daughter Sarah. So I am assuming that Sallie, Sophie, and Sarah are one and the same person, unless the child Sophie died. Anyway, this census indicates they would have been married at least by 1847. It also names Jesse as a blacksmith with property valued at $1600. 5. The 1850 census also lists a Maria Hittle, head of household, with two children, Daniel, age 17, laborer, and Sophie, age 19. This may or may not be Leah's mother. There is a Daniel E. Hittle who enlisted in the 47th infantry Reg. PA , 2/10/1865, during the Civil War. This may or may not be the same Daniel (Maria's son) from the 1850 census. 6. I have researched the Hittle name on the IGI, under the family tree of a George Michael Hittle. There is a Daniel, b.10/7/1788 in W. Salisbury Twp, Northampton County, Pa, died 3/22/1848 in Upper Hanover, Montgomery County. His wife's name was Magdalena, born abt 1792 in Northampton. I know that some people interchanged Mary, Maria, and Magdalena. This might be the deceased husband of the Maria listed in the 1850 census. 7. One small problem: The IGI shows the Daniel and Magdalena listed above as having one child, a Magdalena, b. 1/24/1813, died 3/29/1813 and buried in Gosenhoppen Cem. Montgomery , PA. This infant died in Upper Hanover Twp., so they were living there in 1813. No other children are listed for this couple. So if it is the right Daniel and Mary, where are the records of the births of Leah, Daniel, and Sophie? 8. Since people could not travel very easily in those early days of 1800's, it only makes sense that people met and married neighbors, friends, and schoolmates. It appears that both Jesse and Leah lived quite a few years in Upper Hanover Twp. 9. There are a lot of Hunsbergers in Upper Hanover Twp in 1850, according to the census. The problem is I can't connect any of them to Jesse, since I don't know his parents' names. I have his obit - no parents listed, his death certificate- no parents listed, and his will - no clues as to parentage. 10. So - we have Jesse and Leah - parents unknown (except for Daniel?? and Mary???? Hittle). Mystery persons. Anyway, that's the scenario as it now stands. I hope to get some answers to this mystery on my next trip down to PA. If anyone comes up with any clues, please let me know. Does anyone know the location of the Gosenhoppen Cemetery? It seems there was an e-mail some time back about it, but I don't think I saved it at the time. Thanks much.

Yes, Lederach is a few miles west of Harleysville, Montgomery Co, PA. Still a very small village. Sharon
