Quite awhile back, I had obtained a copy of the will of a COLVIN man, one of whose daughters married William POWEL(L). I have forgotten the given name of the COLVIN testator and his daughter who married William POWELL. If anyone is researching this family, please contact me? As I recall, COLVIN's will was probated in/about 1814 at which time I do not think records of marriages were kept. How would I learn when/where the COLVIN/POWELL marriage took place? Does anyone have a copy of COLVIN's will? I am interested in the residence of the COLVIN/POWELL couple in 1814. Also, if anyone has a book of deeds abstracts, I would appreciate know location of the COLVIN residence. Any and all help/directions/sources appreciated. Donny J.

There is a sad letter on ebay from Elizabeth Patterson. The letter is from Elizabeth Patterson of Cross Creek to her mother Mary Findley of Youngstown, Westmoreland County. The letter is dated 1822. You can read it in its entirety. I am sending this in hopes that a relative may find it. I have no interest financial of otherwise in the letter. http://cgi.ebay.com/1822-LETTER-CROSS-CREEK-PA-GREAT-MEDICAL-CONTENT-/120576 350531?cmd=ViewItem <http://cgi.ebay.com/1822-LETTER-CROSS-CREEK-PA-GREAT-MEDICAL-CONTENT-/12057 6350531?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c12e91943> &pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c12e91943 Dawne

Dianna, another source for info would be Henrys military pension records. They would be purchased from NARA and for the complete file would cost you about $ 100.00 - sometimes there is a lot of info, sometimes not. Ruth

Feruary 21, 1977 Area girl is beaten to death - by Larry Pansino (shows picture of the girl) The body of a missing North Charleroi girl was found Saturday in a remote area of Fallowfield Twp., the victim of a repeated beating. Mary Irene Gency, 16, of 574 Seventh St., North Charleroi was pronounced dead at the scene at 4:45 PM Saturday by Washington Co. Coroner Farrell Jackson. Jackson said Miss Gency suffered multiple contusions when whe was beaten by a blunt instrument. Miss Gency's nude body was discovered along an unpaved road that runs past the Charleroi Sportsman's Club and down into a secluded wooded area. Two brothers were spotting for deer when they found the body. Dr. Ernest Abernathy, pathologist at Washington Hospital, conducted an autopsy Saturday night and, Jackson said, is now developing tests to determine if Miss Gency had been raped. The outcome of those tests won't be known for a day or so, Jackson said. "Whoever did this really beat her up", Jackson said. He described the murder as "the most brutal crime I've seen in my 18 years as coroner." Blue jeans were reportedly found last night near the spot where the body was discovered, but police would not say if they belonged to the girl. State police today said Miss Gency's wine-colored wool coat and a Coors Beer T-shirt have not turned up. Miss Gency had been missing since Sunday, Feb. 13 at 6:30 PM when she left home to meet a girl friend at Isaly's on Fallowfield Ave. in Charleroi. She was last seen in front of that store between 7 and 8 pm. About 8:15 pm the same night, her purse was found in front of the Fallowfield Twp. Fire Hall, at the intersection of Old Route 71 and Route 481. Apparently nothing was stolen from the purse. The body was found by Ronald Yancee, 25 of Belle Vernon and his brother, John, 30, of Charleroi RD 2. State Police have taken over the investigation at the request of Fallowfield Twp. police and are seeking help from possible witnesses. North Charleroi police also were involved in the case. Anyone who saw a purse dropped near the fire hall that night or observed a girl entering a car in Charleroi are asked to call State Police Belle Vernon barracks (929-6262) Miss Gency was born April 20, 1960 in North Charleroi, a daughter of Doris Hess Gency of North Charleroi and Burnell A. Gency of Charleroi, both of whom survive. She was a sophomore at Charleroi Area High School. Other survivors include her maternal grandmother, Mrs. Mildred Durstin; her parternal grandmother, Mrs. Mary Gency; her maternal grandfather, William F. Hess of New Stanton; a brother, Stephen Gency, at home; two sisters, Mrs. Dennis (Sherry) Caldwell of Charleroi and Pamela Irwin of McKeesport; one nephew, Christopher T. Caldwell; several aunts and uncles, and one great-aunt, Mrs. Don (Irene J.) Allen of Carroll Twp. Private family visitation will be today from 7 to 9 PM at the Leonard J. Parzynski Funeral Home, 625 Broad Ave. Belle Vernon. In another obituary item it adds the following: Private services will be held at home Tuesday at 11 AM, with Rev. Dr. W. S. Van Arsdale Jr., pastor of the First Christian Church, Charleroi, officiating interment will be in Sacred Heart Cemetery, Carroll Twp, The Leonard J. Parzynski Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Anyone having further information to report regarding this murder that occurred over 30 years ago is asked to call the Wash. Co. law enforcement authorities.

Hi Everyone This is my first time on the list and I'm trying to find information on my Fuller Family of Washington County PA. On Henry's civil war records he states he was born in Washington in January around 1819 we think the age varies from record to record. We are trying to find out who his parents are at the moment. There is a photo of Henry in his uniform with two other Fuller boys Amos and David Daniel Fuller said to be cousins. Henry' parents were both born in PA as he states on the 1880 Census. Henry (and family?) moved to Armstrong Country as Henry is on the 1850 Cenus with wife Mary Ann Rose in Allegheny and two children. Does anyone know how I can find a birth entry for Henry anywhere in Washington?? Or any other information on the Fuller family. Kind regards and many thanks Dianna

John, Thank you for the most interesting Synopsis of the Flight of the Irish & the Welsh. My Great-Grandfather YEVLANPII LAKOVLEV CHELPANOV came from Russian during the GREAT IMMIGRATION OF RUSSIA in the late 1800's. The USA sent to Russian & Poland asking for and giving passage to the all able bodied men of those Countries to work in the Coal Mines & Steel Mills & Sea Ports. So that is when my Grandparents from Poland & Russia came over...................and NO government assistance...................just a job to work ! I could not find much information on him from Russia, for he Americanized his name to: JOSEPH WILLIAMS, and how in the world would you associate the name of WILLIAMS to CHELPANOV? took about 25 years to discover his real name. And he came over with a brother, cousin a priest & friend, he worked for a year in the coal mines in Vestabugh, Pennsylvania. and then sent for his lovely wife a year later when he had established a home for her. G-Grandfather, brother, cousin & his community built the First "OLD BELIEVERS RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH" in Marianna, Pennsylvania. The only other Old Believers Russian Orthodox Church was in Erie, PA. It is so beautiful with the golden cupola and the inside all the walls covered with Gold Holy Icons, brought from Russia in their trunks. Two of the large Icons were lent to the church on loan and my Mother & her brother were to get them back when their Grandfather passed away.......but that never happened, Mother inquired several times during her life time. Have a Blessed Memorial Day and Pray for our HERO'S.......... that gave us ALL our Freedoms over the centuries and they Rest in Glory! In a message dated 5/29/2010 3:40:03 P.M.

When you refer to the non-conforming religions that includes the Presbyterians, and the statement about them not being able to read nor write definitely does not apply to them. The Presbyterians were known to have about a 90% literacy rate. It was a matter that their religion required them to interpret their bible on their own, and that required reading the bible.

Anna Jarvis, mother of Anna Marie , was from Webster, WV - her family home is a touris attraction and there are many signs in the area, honoring Anna. Webster is outside of Grafton in Taylor Co.,WV. Ruth

The first Mother's Day was held on May 10, 1908 and a few days later the Philadelphia Inquirer printed an article about the huge success of Anna Marie Jarvis's idea. The article boomed: "Millions Observe First 'Mother's Day' – Philadelphia woman overwhelmed by response to her suggestion for national celebration". And, so the Father's won't feel left out, we have included another article about Sonora Dodd and her suggestion to create Father's Day. Like Anna Marie Jarvis, the day grew out of the love that Sonora Dodd had for her father William Jackson Smart. The first Father's Day was held in June 1910 to celebrate his birthday and has been celebrated in June ever since.

Lou stated: The WPA must have sent these guys out without a compass or map. ---------------- HAHA I was watching a history program on TV the other day. Itwas about how the states were given their boundaries/borders - the jist was why do the maps show such crazy borders for each state. One gentleman stated that "back in the day" a large portion of the surveyors pay was paid in SPIRITS - madeira, rum, etc. SOOOOOO many errors were made. (a major error was at the Canada/America border, when an American fort was built to defend itself against Canada. The land was TRULY in Canada - was a very informative program. Ruth

I was reviewing the map of our family's cemetery (Carroll) and had to laugh. The WPA must have sent these guys out without a compass or map. The layout of the plot and the location of the vet's grave are pretty accurately sketched but the direction is off by 90 degrees (have northern arrow pointing east). Also, they have the directions on the public road backward (Prosperity to the West and East Finley to the East) (or is that Prosperity to the South and East Finley to the North - LOL.)

I've posted, to the www.beallsvillecemetery.org website, 159 maps of cemeteries throughout Washington County, most of which have veterans buried in them. A few of the cemeteries do not have veterans listed. Many of the maps have good directions to their locations while others do not. The original maps were created in the 1930s as part of the Works Projects Administration which was by executive order of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. There are two sets of these maps that I know of. One is in the vaults at the Law Library at Citizens Library in Washington County, PA. The other set is in the Planning Commission Office in Washington Co. The maps are very large. Someone copied the maps and retyped the list of names, put them in .tiff files. I was able to purchase a copy of the maps and this is what I have posted to my website. Because Washington Cemetery was so large and had so many pages, it was not transcribed and so is not included in the listing. >From the main page of the Beallsville Cemetery website, scroll down the left hand side until you see "Washington County Cemetery list and Veterans Burials" This will link you to an index of the cemeteries. The links on the righthand side of the index take you to the individual maps. There is also a map of Washington County with many of the cemetery locations marked. The links on the lefthand side of the index take you to the tombstone photos that I have taken of a few of the cemeteries.
