Abt. 1809 in Virginia, d. abt. 1856 in Kentucky); Mary Ann Weatherly (b. May 1817 in Virginia, d. unknown, Mary Ann may have married a man by the last name of Martin and had several children born in Kentucky); Frances Weatherly, (b.

My ggg-grandmother was Margaret Murphy who married Patrick Groody. However, I descend from Margaret's first marriage to Michael Lawler. Margaret Murphy & Michael Lawler had a daughter, Mary Lawler, in 1842. My Mary Lawler lived with her grandmother, Ellen Murphy, after Margaret remarried to Patrick Groody. In the 1850 Census, my Mary Lawler, was living with her grandmother, Ellen Murphy, and with Ellen's children Dennis, Thomas, Catherine & Ellen. Dennis was your gg-grandfather. My Margaret Murphy and your gg-grandfather, Dennis Murphy, were siblings. So, we are like 4th cousins! My questions are: Can you email me the descendants of Dennis & Anna? Also, Dennis' siblings Thomas, Catherine & Ellen. Maybe you have a gedcom file or family sheets that you could send. Do you know anything about Dennis' parents? It looks like his mother was Ellen from the 1850 Census. Do you know from what part of Ireland did the Murphy's come? It looks like some of kids were born in MASS & NY. Do you know the story? Do you know anything about the Lawler's? I'm 43 year old with a 3-1/2 year old daughter living just outside of Philadelphia.

I believe I've seen it that way somewhere. There may be a connection to my Wagner family, but I've never explored it. My Wagners, Adam and wife, Maria, and children moved from here in Montgomery Co., PA, about 1814 to Pine Grove, Schuylkill Co., PA. A Henry Sotzin/Solzin bought the land they owned here, but several years later seemed to appear in Schuylkill Co. themselves. A Henry Solzin/Sotzin also witnessed Adam Wagner's will. I would have to go digging through old notes to find more specific info. They attended Salem Hetzel's Church in Washington Twp., Schuylkill Co., PA. Hopefully this will give you some more ideas of where to look. If I come across anything else, I'll let you know. -Donna Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Here is a snippet from the "History of Schuylkill Co.": NEIL CROSBY, one of the oldest residents of the borough of New Philadelphia, Schuylkill county, is entitled to the respect he commands as the reward of a useful life. As a citizen he has never failed in his duty, his record of service in the Civil war and in official capacities in his home town proving that he %as always been ready to do his part, whatever it might be. In business and domestic relations he has been equally faithful. Mr. Crosby has been a resident of Schuylkill county practically all the time since 1851. when he accompanied his parents to this country. He is a native of Ireland, born Jan. 10, 1839, son of Patrick Crosby, who first came to America when a young man and spent eleven years here, living in Chester county. Pa., where he was engaged in farming. Returning to Ireland, he remained there for twenty-two years before he brought his family to the United States, in 1851. They settled in the Schuylkill valley, and the father found employment at Huebner's mines, doing outside work. He died in March. 1865, at New Philadelphia, and is buried at Port Carbon, this county. His wife, Mary (Cathlee), also died at New Philadelphia, and is buried at Port Carbon. They had children as follows: Mary, Margaret, Elizabeth, Neil, Owen, Sallie, Hannah, Bridget and Catherine, the last named born at sea. Neil Crosby was first employed at Huebner's mines, and later did outside mine work at Patterson, this county. Then he worked inside at the East mine shaft, making the first timber for this working. He was at Patterson for four years in all, in 1856 removing to New Philadelphia, which then had but a scanty population. Here he worked for the Sillimans until May, 1857, drove team for John J. Tucker for a short time, and the same month entered the employ of the late Andrew Robertson, with whom he continued at that point until 1865, after which he lived some years at Shamokin, Pa. After thirteen years and eight months in Mr. Robertson's service he returned to New Philadelphia, where he held the position of stable boss for a short time, also doing other work about the collieries. In 1908 he retired, and he has continued to make his home at New Philadelphia. In his earlier years Mr. Crosby took an active part in the administration of municipal affairs, serving as member of the coun! cil and on the board of school directors, and discharged his responsibilities conscientiously and intelligently. During the Civil war he enlisted in Company K, I37th Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served ten months in the army, taking part in the engagements' at South Mountain and Antietam. He was in General Burnside's command. For three months the company was stationed at Belle Plain, Va. Mr. Crosby is a member of John Ennis Post, No. 47, of St. Clair, Schuylkill county, and has a wide acquaintance among the veterans. He and his wife have many friends at New Philadelphia. On Oct. 2, 1864, Mr. Crosby married Catherine Duffy, a native of Mount Carmel, Pa., daughter of Anthony Duffy. They are the parents of the following named children: Sophia is living at home [later married Henry H. Tucker of Duane, NY]; Mary is the wife of James P. Flemingham, an attorney, of Welch, W. Va.; Ellen is at home; John is a member of the firm of Rishel & Crosby, wholesale and retail grocers, of Pottsville; James is at home; Owen is clerking for his brother at Pottsville; Catherine is the wife of Thomas P. Butler, of Pottsville; Cornell and Sarah are deceased. The family are Catholics in religious faith. My great grandmother is Sophia mentioned in the paragraph above. I would love to connect with cousins. Who have any other information and we can share. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
