Posted on: Venango Co. Pa Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Venango?read=2071 Surname: Simcox, Davis, Jones, Henderson, Marshall, Turner, Krickbaum, Kennedy, Adams, Seaton, Muse, Walker, McCracken, Reynolds, Allen, McElhaney, Bartlett ------------------------- Shadrach SIMCOX, son of William SIMCOCK and Martha DAVIS, was born about 1767 in Kent Co., MD, and on 20 Jan 1792 in Faggs Manor Presbyterian Church, in Londonderry Township, Chester County, PA, married Eleanor JONES who was born 1 Jun 1770 in PA. Shadrach died on 14 Jul 1833 in Venango Co., PA and Eleanor on 23 Oct 1859 in Venango Co., PA. Both were buried in the Simcox Cemetery, Mineral Twp., Venango, PA. The cemetery is now located on Pennsylvania State Game Lands. Shadrach & Eleanor were members of Faggs Manor Presbyterian Church in Londonderry Township, Chester County, PA. He is presumed to be a brother to William Simcox, who was in the 1790 census of Londonderry Township. William's household consisted of 4 females, and 2 males over 16. Shadrach was probably the second male over 16. By 1798, Shadrach was living in Cross Creek township, Washington County,Pennsylvania, where he is listed in the tax list and is taxed or 400 acres. He is enumerated in the 1800 census of that township and at that time his family consisted of 1 male and 1 female age 26-45 (1755-1774), and 1 male and 2 females under 10 (1790-1800). By February 1806, Shadrach had moved to Venango County,where he was one of the earliest settlers. He received a grant of personal property from Robert Jones (probably his father-in-law) and in 1812, purchased 300 acres in French Creek Township from John Jones. Over the next 10 years or so, he purchased additional acreage and resided there for the rest of his life. He was enumerated in the 1810 census of French Creek Twp and his household had grown to 11 members, 4 males under 10 (1800-1810), 1 male and 1 female age 10-16 (1794-1800), 2 males and 1 female age 16-26 (1784-1794), and 1 male and 1 female age 26-45 (1765-1784). It appears as if his oldest daughter's husband was residing in the household. Family tradition maintains that Shadrach served in the War of 1812, but no record of his services has yet been found. However, record has been found that he was paid on 1 Apr 1814 for expenditures relating to the defense of Erie, Pennsylvania. His first cabin was located on the Indian Path, later known as the Venango Path. Soldiers going to Erie from Pittsburgh and other points followed this old military road, traces of which may still be seen. Shadrach appears in the 1820 census of French Creek Twp.His household included 4 males and 2 females under 10 (1810-1820), 1 male age 10-16 (1804-1810), 1 male age 16-18 (1802-1804), 1 males 18-26 (1794-1802), 1 male and 1 female age over 45 (before 1775). He is also enumerated in the 1830 census of French Creek township. After Shadrach's death, Eleanor lived with her son, Davis. Together with Davis and his wife, Adaline, she was one of the first members of Center Methodist Episcopal Church which was organized in Mineral Township in 1844. Many of the members of this congregation had earlier been associated with Sandy Creek church. >From the census records, it appears that Shadrach and Eleanor had at least 13 children, but only 11 have been identified.

You need dates (the rule I use is 30 years +- 5 years between generations, it seems to work for me) and as much detail as you can give. I can not help you but there are several fine people that can assist you in the Armstrong and Clarion County & Clarion County Historical Society query boards. I was going to recommend a person but I think he is more into the business of genealogy and can be quite rude in my opinion if not approached accordingly to his protocol. dh
