Dear Listers, Recently, a woman contacted me about some books on MD & VA that she had for researching her lines & was not in need of them any longer. She asked if I would assist her in disposing of them for her. I have a list of them, but don't know what she wants for some of them yet. I thought I'd mention it on here & let you know that if anyone feels they might be interested in any for those areas, that they contact me off list. Thanks, Ellen (ETHS-VP)

Gina & List, Could someone give me a location or area for Hilldale Cemetery? The list I'm using has Washington Co cemeteries but also ones "just over the border" from Washington County. So it could be in Westmoreland Co., Fayette Co., Greene Co., or Washington County. What township and town is it in? Where is it located? Any other details would be appreciated.

To think that I almost missed this on the trip to Washington: Located at the Washington and Jefferson College Archives is the ORIGINAL document for "Moneys paid out for building the Courthouse in the Town of Washington by Andrew Swearingen and John Hoge, Esq. 1786-1789. The document has wonderfully legible handwriting - probably by John Hoge. It is very fragile and had not been scanned to my knowledge. It has many names of people in the area at that time who worked or supplied materials for the building of the first court house. The amounts are written in pounds, shilling and pence. I am working at transcribing it from digital images I was able to get and it will be published via the Genealogy Society at Washington (Citizen's Library).

Chartiers City is located near the mouth of Chartiers Creek as it enters the Ohio River between current day Crafton and McKees Rocks in Allegheny County. Back in the day it was a very busy place because people and supplies coming from Pittsburgh or from down the Ohio would come through there on their way to Washington County. If you type in Chartiers City, Allegheny County, PA in Yahoo or Google maps, you will be able to see the location.

Linda, Hewit / Hewitt / Huet were primarily in the Amwell Twp / West Bethlehem Twp area (West Beth Twp was formed from part of Amwell Twp). These are eastern townships and along / near The National Pike (Rt. 40) before Scenery Hill PA (old Hillsborough PA where the original and current post office was/is). This area is the Ten Mile area, so named for Ten Mile Creek. They were neighbors to my LANE family so Hewitt's might have also extended into Straban Twp (no 'e') (now South Strabane Twp.)-- I can't recall if they were near my Daniel Lane or not. Could you send me a copy of the Carroll Co Ohio biography? Interestingly, one of my John Lane's (b. abt. 1780) children moved to Carrolltown, Carroll Co Ohio by the 1830s. Joseph Lane married Anna Dager, d/o Jacob Dager in Amwell/West Beth Twps, Washington Co PA. By chance, has LANE come up in your Ohio research? Migration often had families-of-similar-backgrounds moving in waves to the same areas. Were the Hewitt's originally from Frederick Co Maryland? Were they German Baptists? (now Church of the Brethren). Or, were the moves simply neighbors in Washington Co PA following old neighbors of this county to a new place? Other names you might find associated with Hewitt in Washington Co PA are Slusher, Baker, Flowers, Lane (I can't think of everyone right now). It will be interesting to know what family is the marriage connection, versus just a neighbor connection. Please send a copy of the bio. If you don't feel like typing it, or scanning it, I can give you my address.

Thank you so much for the reference to Mr. Bell''s Anthology It was a goldmine to me. Linda

I am researching my Hewitt line in Washington County. Does any one know what town or townships they were in early 1800's and before. James Hewitt was an early settler of Carroll County, Ohio by 1808 according to county history. My third grandfather Peter Hewitt married to Martha ? purchased 160 acres and built a home (still standing) in 1828 north of the town of Carrollton . Don't know James connection to Peter but both are listed as coming from Washington County. Appreciate any assistance, Linda
