Sue I certainly do NOT have any descendants listed in any 1820 census in Springville Twp or anywhere else for that matter! : ) I have descendants listed in the 2000 census and I expect they will be in subsequent censi also -- Bill Strickland Oregon City OR Susan Bennett-Dyson wrote: > Hi All, > I am looking for Descendants of the Settlers of Springville Township, > Susquehanna County.

WILLIAM HAYS, who escorted Christian Frederick Post as far as Kiskiminetas Town, killing the Lieutenant and four of his men and capturing five others." (This is during the French and Indian wars in 1758.) Sorry for the sad ending. Jean

I'm glad to do your lookups (it's my way of paying back the rootsweb "cousins" who have been so helpful to me.) But, please, if you have a query please post to the list. That way all the surnames I have or have NOT found will be seen by others. Good hunting to all of you--Jean Spalding Barbour

Hello Listers, I'm new to this list and wonder if anyone can help me locate the following: 1) Elkanah Gaige/Gage b. about 1801 & wife Phebe/Phoebe Howard b. abt. 1803. These are my GGgrandparents. Children: Almarvia b. 1829 in Brackney, PA; Sarah b. 1831 in Brackney, PA who married Randolph Lottridge; Daniel b. 2/1836 in Brackney, PA who married Mary Caroline Archer (parents: Henry Purdy Archer & Abagail Moore) in Winona, MN where he went to homestead. Elkanah & Phebe were Quakers. Cannot locate Phebe Howard's parents; nor info on Almarvia & Sarah. 2) Neale Britton b. 1815 in Ireland arrived on ship "Oswego" with wife, Ellen, in 1843. Daughter Kathryn/Kate/Catherine born 1852 in Silver Lake, Susquehanna Co., PA. Neale died in 1855 in Silver Lake, Susquehanna Co., PA. Ellen Britton married my Ggrandfather, Charles M. Gage on 11/15/1858 in Binghamton, NY (justice of peace). They also left to homestead in Winona, Winona Co., MN. No cemetery listing for Neale Britton -- if I can locate his tombstone, hopefully it would provide the county of Irish origin for Neale & Ellen. There were many Gages living in Susquehanna County in the mid-to-late 1800's, so hope someone out in cyberspace can connect. Many thanks for listening and reading! JoAnne Gage Teske - WI

Jean Can you check for any Hays, Hayes, Lights or Wests. Thank you so much for checking. Carol Byassee

JEAN: Thank you for your interesting response. My DEANS ancestors have the "s" at end of surname. Always thought that was a "mistake" but descendants kept the "s". The earliest I can document is (Deacon) Zebulon Deans (also was a carpenter), b 1770 "from" Lebanon CT, d April 14, 1848 in Bridgewater, Susquehanna Co., PA. As for PARKER, ..."my" William d Saybrook, CT 1686, and other (Joseph) Wm d 1866 Montrose, PA, so wrong time period. (One of his sons, by same given name died 1890 Friendsville, Sus. Co., PA)....and "my" Sgt. John (middle name unknown) Parker d in Havana, Cuba in 1762 Thanks, JEANNE From: Barbours@aol.com <Barbours@aol.com> To: PASUSQUE-L@rootsweb.com <PASUSQUE-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, June 19, 2000 8:31 PM Subject: Re: Book--Indian Wars in Pennsylvania >Hi Jeanne-- > >If you mean DEAN rather than DEANS, here is a reference on pg. 537 under >Massacres in Blair County. > >"About 1768, Adam and William Holliday settled near where the town of >Hollidaysburg, Blair County, now stands.....In 1778 a party of Indians came >to the house of Matthew DEAN in Canoe Valley, Catherine Township, Blair >County, while he and his older children were working in a field, and murdered >his wife and three small children.

Hi Jeanne-- If you mean DEAN rather than DEANS, here is a reference on pg. 537 under Massacres in Blair County. "About 1768, Adam and William Holliday settled near where the town of Hollidaysburg, Blair County, now stands.....In 1778 a party of Indians came to the house of Matthew DEAN in Canoe Valley, Catherine Township, Blair County, while he and his older children were working in a field, and murdered his wife and three small children. A young man named Simonton was at the Dean home at the time. He was taken prisoner and never heard of again. In September 1909 a monument was erected at Keller Church Cemetery memorializing this tragedy." There are three PARKERS in the index: Amos, Sgt. Michael, and William. Any of these yours? No Sterlings listed. Jean Spalding Barbour
