This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: RobertBlakely12 Surnames: WILSON, BLACKBURN, CHAPMAN, SOMERVILLE, BROWN, BIRD Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.washington/3886/mb.ashx Message Board Post: For the past decade, I have been searching for the parents of my ancestor Brown WILSON. Our Wilson family bible has record of him being born Dec 26, 1786. From there, there is no public record of him until he married Susannah BLACKBURN in Clark County, IN Sept 9, 1815 (no parent record included). I have traced her BLACKBURN ancestors back to Ireland. Brown and Susannah were probably in Kentucky in 1820, as their daughter, Caroline (WILSON) CHAPMAN, lists her birthplace in several records as Kentucky at that time. He is not the slightly older Brown WILSON (b. abt 1776 ENG) who shows up in Butler County, OH records in the years of 1807 to 1823 married to Mary BURNS, as that Brown WILSON is confirmed to have died in 1823 - I've even seen the gravestone. My Brown WILSON shows up in 1830 in Edgar County, Illinois Census records, and appears there every decade until his death in 1872. He joined the Presbyterian Church in 1843, was kicked out 10 years later in 1853, but buried ! in the Presbyterian cemetery in Edgar County. He was a land surveyor. All of his Edgar County census records list his birth as 1786 or 1787, most with a birthplace of Pennsylvania, with a couple listing Berks County, PA as his birthplace. Interestingly, census records (especially those recorded of his children) often indicate his birthplace as Virginia, and sometimes, Kentucky, however. Brown and Susannah BLACKBURN (b. 1792 KY to James and Mary [unknown last name]BLACKBURN) had these children: Unknown male b betw 1816-1820 (prob KY) Unknown fem b betw 1816-1820 (prob KY) Caroline, b Sep 9 1820 in Kentucky m. Joseph CHAPMAN Unknown male b betw 1821-1825 (prob KY) Unknown fem b betw 1821-1825 (prob KY) Joseph A. b abt 1827-8 in IL (prob Edg. Cty) Robert Blackburn b Oct 15 1828 in IL (prob Edg. Cty) Susan b abt 1834 in IL (prob Edg. Cty) A James WILSON (b 1830) and wife Nancy appear next to Brown in the 1850 Census - he very well could also be a son of Brown. Brown also married Mary (Alexander)SOMERVILLE [Sommerville, Summerville]on Jan 2, 1839 in Edgar County IL. They had no children. As an aside, there is plenty of 'family legend' stuff, etc. surrounding Brown. My grandmother WILSON is quite insistent that the family has always been told that Brown is the son of James WILSON, the signer of the Declaration of Independence, etc., and she is the great granddaughter of Brown, so the connection is close. Highly unlikely, of course. Though there are things that offer a glimmer of possibility - James the signer spent much time in Berks County PA, was a Presbyterian, and married his first wife, Rachel BIRD, in Douglasville, Amity, Berks in the mid-1770's. However, Rachel died several months before Brown was born in our bible record, and James did not remarry for several years. Any child born on Dec 26, 1786 would have been out of wedlock and therefore unlikely. My grandmother asserts that records could have been erased or changed, as James's sons disappeared because they did not want to be responsible for the huge debts James died with at his death - he was ! a prodigious land speculator and died being hounded by creditors, even spending time in jail, despite the fact that he was a Supreme Court judge and one of the heroes and great minds of the American Revolution and Constitution. This could be seen to fit with the fact that my Brown WILSON only shows up in public records so far in 1815, at age 29. Regardless of that, I see my best leads are to look at the 1790 Federal Census records for Berks County, and I see only three WILSONs listed in Berks at that time. I am attempting to learn more about these WILSONs: John WILSON, Amity Twp. John WILSON, Exeter Twp. Alexander WILSON, Windsor Twp. It sure would help if one of them married a BROWN or had the middle name BROWN.... Can anyone help me find the parents of this rather stubborn ancestor? Thanks in advance.

Ruth: I'm not sure about the 1830 one, but .... I found out something when I've had to actually go in and look at all the transcriptions in particular census. Sometimes other community areas are mis-labeled with the person's name, and/or sometimes a smaller community or the beginning or the end of another is included under another nearby community area. So, if you can't find something, be sure to check all the areas around it by going in to the census itself and checking all the other page listings. Experience, as I'm sure Ruth knows, dictates that you ck. all the spellings and family members also, quite a few have been mis-transcribed or were spelled wrong by the census taker or skipped over the the transcriber to the census program you are looking at. If you find something be sure to report it. The program mgrs. appreciate it and always thank you. So, don't give up, just take a much closer look and take the time to ck. all the pages.

I've looked both in Heritage Quest census and Ancestry.com census sheets and then line by line. When did Strabane Township split into North/South Strabane Twp? John Cooke & wife Sarah Swearingen Cooke are on the 1820 STRABANE twp. census and the 1840 SOUTH STRABANE Twp census. I cannot find them in 1840. Tax records indicate they are there. 1830 Fed Census PA, (missing- I looked line by line for Elizabeth Swearingen(Chartiers Twp& Strabane Twp), John Cooke/Cook and family in (Strabane Twp) Washington County. The only listing is for STRABANE Twp. (when did North & South Strabane Twp. Split?). At the end of the census is another listing for "Schedule of the whole number of Persons within the Division allotted to (name of person) by the Marshal of the Western District (or Territory) of Pennsylvania" - which lists Heads of household. After that a "Recapitulation by township" report is done. (possibly living in 1830 are John & Sarah Cooke, daughter Margaret, Isabella and Sarah Jane and son John L. Cooke - unmarried children. Also living with them or they living with her is Sarah Swearingen Cooke's mother Elizabeth Chaplin Swearingen). Can anyone shed some light on this?

Is there any information to say that Chartiers Creek changed course in the early 1800's?? (Referencing location in Chartiers & Strabane Townships)

The concensus is that Hilldale Cemetery is in Allegheny Co. Thank you very much! Judy On Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 5:24 PM, J.A.

Hi Judy & List, "The Pennsylvania Line" published by the Southwest Genealogical Services lists the small community of Hilldale (pop.250) in Forward Twp., Allegheny County. This may the area you are seeking for Hilldale Cemetery. This book is no longer in print but is a valuable resource. The Fourth Edition published in 1990 was created by William L. Iscrupe and Shirley G. M. Iscrupe of Laughlintown, Pa. The company may not be in service. Rosalie

There is a list of cemeteries in Washington County and a map of their location on my website - www.beallsvillecemetery.org. There are two Hilldale cemeteries listed - one in McDonald and one in Robinson Township. These lists and maps were created back in the 1930s in connection with Works Project Administration. On the Beallsville website, scroll to the bottom of the first page in the left hand column and click the link to "Washington County Cemetery list and Veterans Burials" That will take you to the list, main map and links to the indibidual maps.
