Hello list! I'm researching my ancestor Philip Milliron, and I find him in the 1800 Wheatfield census, then Fairfield census data in 1810 and 1820. In fact, I believe he lived in what is not St. Clair Township, just north of New Florence, on the Westmoreland side of the river.. 1) Is it possible that area was considered "Wheatfield" in 1800? 2) What year was St. Clair formed from part of Fairfield? Thanks, Tom

St. Clair Township, although settled in 1776, was not incorporated as a township until 1856. http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/dam/counties/pdfs/Westmoreland.pdf This is an excelleny site for all boroughs and Townships in Westmoreland County.
