Among his descendants is understood to be DAWSON COLEMAN, Esq., a well known public man of Pa. (See pp. 147 and 368.) II. Prior to the Revolution, JOHN DAWSON BUSCH, a native of Germany (perhaps of mixed English and German parentage), emigrated to this country, and settled in Gloucester Co., N. J. He was known here as JOHN DAWSON, and numerous children and grand children claim the family name of Dawson; but a brother, who settled in Pa., retained the name of Busch, which is still borne by his descendants. John Dawson (Busch) served as a soldier in the Am. army. (See p. 186, note.) He was twice m., and had by 1st wife, a son William, whose son, of same name, now res. near Glassboro, N. J. By second wife he had, besides daughters, Aaron, hatter, who res. 1873, Washington, D. C., and has a family, and Job, b. about 1800, dry-goods merchant, 422 South Second street, Philadelphia (1873). The last named has sons John C. and George Dawson, of the banking house of Brown Brothers, 211 Chestnut street, Philadelphia (1873). III. PAUL DAWSON, tailor, Philadelphia (1873), b. in Ireland, 1826, came to America, 1848. He m. Mary Anstis, and has had ten children, of whom three are living. He is the youngest son of John (d. about 1861), and Mary Dawson Dawson, cousins; grandson of Paul Dawson, who m. (???) Whelply, and d. at an advanced age, about 1829. Page 502

Surnames: Brickli,Brickly,Brickley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DcB.2ACE/3847 Message Board Post: My 4th great Grandfather, had a Farm in West Buffalo Township but it's entered as Union County, I found out this township used to be part of Northumberland. John Brickley was my his name he had three sons who became ministers, His son John Brickley came to Clearfield County as E.U.B. Minister, and i am descended from his son Samuel who would have been the John Brickley I'm asking abouts grandson. John Brickley's wife went to Ohio to live with her son Daniel(also a Minister) because the Farm was sold at time Of John Brickley's death, My only question is Does anyone know where John Brickley was buried when he died, does he have a headstone? and what does it say? I'm trying to find out who John Brickley Sr.'s P.S. I do know most of the Brickley's settled in the Orwigsburg area of Schuylkill County and John(Samuels dad, John's son!) was baptised there at the Zion Red Church in Orwigsburg in 1795. John Sr. was married to Magdelena Moyer. John Jr. was married to Margaret Shepler. The Shepler and Moyer names are both in prevanence in the time period around and before 1800 in that area. I don't know who was John Sr.s Father. A Johann Peter Brickli came from Germany in 1738, a Paul Brickley, Jacob Brickley, and Peter Brickley came from Germany in 1750, which one was John sr.'s father. I do know Paul was an Uncle, Becasue he is on John Jr.'s baptismal record as a Witness along with his wife. Later they scattered, Peter Brickley's family went to pike County and peter is buried in Loysville, Pa. and they srpead out from there. Jacob Brickley's family went to New york State. Paul Brickley's Family i don't know much about yet! And John Sr.s sons scattered all over three of which were ministers. His daughters married various people in the Area of modern Northumberland and Union Counties as far as i know. Any help would be useful. As far as i know none of my relatives are related to the English or Irish families of Brickley's.

Do you know anything about Lemuel Tharp, b1850 d1917? He married Mary Florence Dreher (step daughter of Lewis Chamberlin.) Lemuel and MF's daughter was my great grandmother, Mrs. HS Gass. Lemuel is my earliest Tharp to date. Harry S Gass' sister Bertha married a J. Wesley Richie. I think the Richie's may have lived near or on the old William J. Gass homestead in Irish Valley in the 1970's. It is so hard for me to get info on my family members from the late 1700s and early 1800's in Northumberland County. I am way out here in New Mexico and I don't know when I will get back to PA now that my dad has passed on as well as my maternal grandmother. I am desperate to find William Henry Gass's ancestors. This is the William Henry Gass who married Mary Kershner. Her birthdate was about 1792. I don't have his dates. I am also very curious to know why he and his wife named their second son Reily. That does not seem like a PA German surname of the early Nineteenth Century. Most of the relations in this line are buried at Reed's, the Blue Church or Summit Cemetary. Any info you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kay

Nice try Rev, Sulouff, but notice that the plea for help was a repost from the Ancestry message board. So she will not see your message unless you sent it also to her with a reply all, and if she does get it, it may not mean much since she is on Ancestry not Rootsweb. Or at least that is the way I understand it.
