Hi list I am looking for information regarding the text from an 1844 Carbon County PA obituary: "Elizabeth, consort of Robert McDaniel, died 3/5/1844 at her home in Mahoning Twp., at the age of 76 years, 6 months and 21 days. Originally from Perkesy, MONTGOMERY COUNTY (PA), she at an early period of her life, in 1773, came into the vicinity of Gnadenhutten, then a Moravian Missionary settlement of Christian Indians..." According to the History of Carbon County PA, Elizabeth's maiden name was Hicks. Her daughter's burial information states the surname was Johnson. It is most likely that the location of her origin was actually Perkasie, Bucks County, but I have read where the area surrounding the Perkiomen Creek was referred to as Perkesy in the early days. If anyone has information which may lead to finding Elizabeth's origins, or information regarding Perkesy as being a reference to other locations on the Perkiomen in the late 1700's, I would welcome any suggestions.
