Hi, I'm new to this list (but am on others) and primarily do my research in the Chester County and Philadelphia area. However, I am unable to locate one of my Philadelphia families who claims to have been married in 1840 in Philadelphia by the Rev. Isaac HAYHURST. HAYHURST is a pretty uncommon name. The Reverand HAYHURST was a Baptist minister (my MURRAY family was Baptist) who lived in Upper Merion Township, pg. 397 of the 1850 Census. Does anyone have access to a census index for Montgomery County for 1840 who would be willing to tell me if there is a John MURRAY and/or Mary McSHANE (John's wife) living in the county? There are thousands of MURRAYs, and to make my life miserable, my ancestors had to name their children John, Mary, and Ann. So, I get to have fun and search for John MURRAY, Mary (McSHANE) MURRAY, and their daughter Ann(a) or Ann(ie) Elizabeth MURRAY. Does anyone know what Baptist churches were in existence in 1840 and 1850 in Montgomery County? Better still, does anyone know at what church the Rev. Isaac HAYHURST ministered? I appreciate any help you are able to offer. I checked the archives for the list, but only found one reference to a HAYHURST and nothing about the Rev. himself. Thanks, Laurel

I have a number of HAYHURST buried in Catawissa, Columbia County, Pa. If you want that information, please let me know.
