    1. [PAMONTGO-L] Quarrys in Montgomery County
    2. Hi Everyone, I have a gg grandmother Annie Luxeon ELLIS, b. AUG 1847 in the Cornwall District of England. She first appears in the 1850 US Census, as a resident of Upper Merion Township, and being 3 yrs old. Also shown are her parents, James 35 (Quarryman), Mary Ann 32, and siblings, James 7, William 5, and George 8/12. They are also indexed as "Born in England", along with, I believe, an older sibling, Elizabeth, b. 15 OCT 1838, and probably working elsewhere as a domestic. I have two questions for the list. First, does anyone have anything else on this family? They have been particularly elusive for myself and a friend, also a lister, who descends from Elizabeth. Second, does anyone know where a quarryman would work in Upper Merion Twp in 1850? I know they used to dig lime at Port Kennedy, and there is a huge rock quarry on DeKalb Pike in King Manor, but have no idea if either of these were operating in 1850. Many Thanks, Bob Reifsneider Orange Park, FL
