Hello all, I am looking for the families of Fred and Jane Bickel, whose son, Schrack, married into the Newlin family in Chester County, PA. I finally found Fred on the 1850 Montgomery Co. Federal Census, misindexed as Fred Bickee. There was a bit of Bickel coming and going in Chester County: In 1850, East Caln, Chester Co., PA: Bent Bickel [age 29] and Franklin H. Bickel [age 19], both tinners, living in the same household, are listed as being born in "Mont. Co., PA". By 1860, Frederick Bickel [soap & tallow maker], age 44, and his family are in Coatesville, Chester Co. Living with them are Franklin Bickel [carpenter] born in PA, age 26, and Violetta Russell, age 64, born in Ireland. Benjamin Bickel [tinsmith], age 39, is a neighbor. Franklin H. Bickel [tinsmith], age 28, is also a neighbor. In 1880, we have Frank H. Bickel [tinner], age 45, and Fred A. [tinner], age 62, plus lots of their "children".
