    1. [PAMONTGO-L] Surnames - Tomlinson/Cleaver
    2. I was searching for wills and deeds for my Bedford County Tomlinson ancestors and I came across a "Release of Legatees of Lydia A. Cleaver" d. 3 DEC 1905 - Taken from "Release of Legatees" of Lydia Ann Tomlinson Cleaver: Distributions were made to John W Tomlinson and Lydia B. Headly of ?, F. Pearson Tomlinson and Albert S. Tomlinson of Bustleton, Pa, Eldridge Tomlinson and Watson Tomlinson of Byberry, Pa. Charles T. Kline of Philadelphia, Horace, Mabel B, John and Thornton Tomlinson of Bethayres, Montgomery Co, Issac Tomlinson of Bucks Co, Maggie Hibbs of Philadelphia, Guss Tomlinson of Philadelphia, Aaron Tomlinson of Bustleton, Ellen Tomlinson of Phila, M. Anna Webster and Thomas Tomlinson of Hatboro, Montgomery Co and Martha Knight of Phila. . I found a limited bit of info at a web search for Cleavers. Seems that a Thomas W. Cleaver s/o William E. Cleaver & Ann Way (b. 19 OCT 1834 d. 4 JUN 1918) married 1st a Ruth Blackburn (b. 18 AUG 1834 d. 23 OCT 1881) , 2nd a Lydia Ann Tomlinson ( b.13 FEB 1839 d. 3 DEC 1905 ) (m.13 FEB 1884), 3rd a Marjorie Croyle ( b. 1861 d. 1921). These parties all seem to be from Bedford county even though distributions were made to residents of Montgomery Co and Philadelphia so I believe that Lydia and/or Tom Cleaver were born there. I do know that Tom Cleaver and Lydia Ann Tomlinson were Quakers. Any help with especially this Tomlinson line would be appreciated. thanks, Joyce in Anchorage
