Fran, here you are on this stuff again and posting queries, this time about the Hillegas family and the marriage of Johann Adam Hillegas to Maria Margaretha Heileman/Hahlman. May I bluntly ask do you not have a copy of the publication EARLY FAMILIES OF BERKS, BUCKS & MONTGOMERY COUNTY by Keith A/ Dull, published by Family Line Publications. If not, you have no need to post querries about these families until you get a copy of this book as it has sections on the Heilmann/Hahlman, Griesemer, and a very long section on the Hillegas family you alude to. Family Line, Westminster, MD. was founded and operated until Edwin Wright sold it to one of these boring turkeys who wants to do everything by e-mail with your market-basket, and there fore cease to publish catalogs that are so dear to the hearts of us old farts. Wright has established a new firm in Lewes, Del., called C OLONIAL ROOTS. Go to their website and look under PA. to see if, as I believe, he is selling it there. As you! can tell and anyone else can tell, I would lots rather support COLONIAL ROOTSanyday than FAMILY LINE. For these families the real horses mouth is the author, Keith Dull. You are in paradise to know that you are researching families of interest to Dull. He is involved in researching these families, not hanging on to antiquated publications of the 1930s, by going to the German and PA sources. What you need is to make contact with Dullwho I know from correspondence afew years back lived in Indianapolis, IN. Perhaps you can get his e-mail address trhough Colonial Roots. This is the path you want to take and will be most profitable. I do have the xerox copies of the pages on the Heilman family which I am still planning to send you and also copies of another Hallman/Heileman researcher from farther north of Worms, that shows the large families of this name in this area, from which I think SEVERAL HALLMAN/HEILEMANN CAME AND settled in Philadelphia County, and that some of those who are r! eputed to be descendants of Henry Hallman, Sr., of Anthony Hallman of Collegeville, are connected to these other families that not enough research has been done in Germany to see whether they are related in Germany. You simply need to buy yourself a copy of Keith Dull's book, and in this like Mrs. Slocum I am insistent. Philip Leonard.

How old was she when she died? Who were the siblings? Did you check the 1900 Census before she died? Where did she live? in Montgomery Co? 1900 Census may provide some clues and then work backwards! Just check the 1900 Census, and I only find an Emma Harrell in Pittsburg in 1900, and young - age 29, wife of Benjamin, age 30, a painter. If your Emma died in Phila, you should inquire on that county list, Philadelphia county, not Montgomery Co list! Thanks, hoping to help.....

Please excuse me for sending this to multiple mailing lists. My name is Richard James. I'm gathering information on my direct line of Paxson's. I have visited many locations including the Friends Historical Library at Swarthmore college I'm hoping to meet any other researchers for Jacob Paxson who died July 13 1832 and is buried in the Abington Friends cemetery Abington Township Montgomery County. He was 86 years 10 months. His wife Mary Shaw died October 17 1814 and is also buried at the same cemetery. She was about 55. (Source: Abington Friends Minutes at the Swarthmore Friends Historical Library, Swarthmore College). My ancestors also include Elizabeth Ayres and James Comly. This is a summary of my direct line 1st generation Jacob Paxson b 1745 d July 13 1832 2nd generation Oliver Paxson b 1799 died December 12 1866 3rd generation Jacob Canby Paxson b June 25th 1840 d April 2 1892 Note Jacob Canby Paxson's wife Eliza Paxson was the granddaughter of James Comly and Elizabeth Ayres 4th generation Edward E. Paxson b December 171865 d February 26 1899 5th generation Christian Edward Paxson b March 23 1890 d May 28 1957 6th generation Elizabeth Martha Paxson b November 7th 1912 d December 13 1970

A lister, Mike, found the following: "The following deed abstracts for Harford County may give you some info. 6:249 (book:page) 11 Apr 1855 Henry Serf to Patrick Conley of City of Baltimore and Mary his wife, Tract in Harford County 88.25acres/28 square perches, part of "Hughes Cabbin" 6:270 12 Apr 1855 Mortgage from Conley to Henry Serf $375 11:358 19 Apr 1860 Patrick Connolly and Mary his wife of Harford County to Samuel Garrett "Hughes Cabbin" on which Patrick and Mary now reside, 20 acres.

Mary Alice, I would be interested in information concerning your George Michael REITER family. I am trying to trace REITER/RITTERs that came into Maryland but held on to their contacts in Pennsylvania. Best regards, Chocy
