Hello Kay - Many, many thanks for taking the time to look for the headstone of Jesse TEATS. I've forwarded your e-mail to other TEATS researchers to make sure they don't miss your message. Several sources have stated that he is interred in Pleasant Hill, others Ash Grove. Now we know for certain it is Ash Grove. Thanks again from all of us. Tom G. | | I had time yesterday to stop at the Ash Grove Cemetery on RT 61 to search | for your JESSE TEATS. I found his gravestone there towards the back of the | cemetery, close to the church itself. On the stone is JESSE TEATS, Died | Oct 27, 1896, Aged 87 years, 8 months and 2 days. There are several other | TEATS buried there as well. | | Kay Knapp |

Hi Tom, I had time yesterday to stop at the Ash Grove Cemetery on RT 61 to search for your JESSE TEATS. I found his gravestone there towards the back of the cemetery, close to the church itself. On the stone is JESSE TEATS, Died Oct 27, 1896, Aged 87 years, 8 months and 2 days. There are several other TEATS buried there as well. I will stop at the Pleasant Grove Cemetery someday when I have time, just because I'm curious to see if there are any TEATS buried there. I hope this helps with your search. Kay Knapp

Below is a copy of the conveyance of a piece of property From Uriah Barber to Jacob Frey in 1793. Uriah had fought in the Revo War. I have papers from the court in Ohio where he swore that he was entitled to his Revo. War Pension as per Act of Congress 1832. He came back to the Northumberland Co Pa. area , in which he was born, to sell a piece of property inherited from his father Nathaniel Barber. I can not discover from where Nathaniel came. Who were his parents? Nathaniel's wife was an Elizabeth White I'm pretty sure. Can anyone shed any light on where Nathaniel came from and who his parents are? The remainder might help someone else in his or her search for family information. Here is hoping it does. If I read this correctly The documents says that Uriah inherited the land from his father Nathaniel. Nathaniel had bought the land from a Peter Arnold. Peter Arnold had acquired the land from Abraham Wensh. I am guessing that the December date of 1803 mentioned at the end is wrong. It most likely is 1793. since earlier in the document 1793 is written spelled out. They surely would not have waited until 1803 to record the thing. Also Uriah was in Ohio by 1803.

Recording deeds was not required and when deeds did finally get recorded there is often a gap of decades between the purchase date and the recording date. The period 1793 to 1803 is only ten years and not at all unusual. Perhaps the recording was done because of his relocation to Ohio and it didn't seem important before then. Nelson R.

Eleanor: Your problem, of which I have no solution, sort of reminds me of the old genealogical story of the man (true story?) who was born, raised, did the usual adult things and died; all in different counties, but NEVER moved. Seems there were many boundary changes over the years. Don GEN-PICS wrote: >Don, >Thanks. This is one of those puzzles I think. Since the Smithers family had been in Berks Co. for years, it seemed like they would have been placed in Northumberland when it was formed in 1772 from parts of Berks. However, The PA Archives book comes up with Rev War records for a George and Jacob Smithers (various spellings) as being in the Northampton militia. So, does that mean they moved? Then to make it more interesting there are 3 land warrants for George in 1785 and 1786 in NORTHUMBERLAND CO. Just when you think it is going to end the PA Archives comes back and says that George was still in the Northampton militia in 1787. > >Thanks for the help.

Yes, the county lines were moving. There is a problem here when you begin to look at where Northumberland and Northampton plus Luzerne came from. Was he really living in Berks to Northumberland to Luzerne and just going across the line to serve in Northampton? Or, did he really move?

There is also a connection between Northumberland Co., PA and the state of Connecticut in their early records. Perhaps other listers can elaborate on this connection. Thanks, Elida in SC

Don, Thanks. This is one of those puzzles I think. Since the Smithers family had been in Berks Co. for years, it seemed like they would have been placed in Northumberland when it was formed in 1772 from parts of Berks. However, The PA Archives book comes up with Rev War records for a George and Jacob Smithers (various spellings) as being in the Northampton militia. So, does that mean they moved? Then to make it more interesting there are 3 land warrants for George in 1785 and 1786 in NORTHUMBERLAND CO. Just when you think it is going to end the PA Archives comes back and says that George was still in the Northampton militia in 1787. Thanks for the help. I have no idea what the answer will be because George ends up in Luzerne which came out ot Northumberland. So, was he really making all of these moves or is there a different answer?

For 45 years Pennsylvania settlers opposed Connecticut settlers in the northern half of what is now Pennsylvania. A brief summary of the controversy over land claims 1754-1799 is found at http://www.bartleby.com/65/wy/WyomVal.html Nelson R.

Eleanor: I have copied, by a third party, Pennsylvania records. Have had them a long time, at least twenty years, book title doesn't show. You mentioned Handy Book, digging deep into the memory bank, that seems to be correct. Anyway , it shows Northumberland as being formed from parts of Lancaster, Berks, Bedford, Cumberland and Northampton. Sooo, the plot thickens. Should have a little more careful with the "facts", when I wrote originally. Looking at another source. I also have, of equal vintage, a map of Pennsylvania prepared by the Department of Community Affairs, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This shows Northumberland as being the tenth county to be formed and confirms the counties named above as the sources. Willing to accept as a "ligit" source. Some of the counties were huge in those days, for example Cumberland was the entire central and SW section of Pennsylvania extending to what is now the West Virginia and Ohio lines, as of 1750.
