I have members of the Houses of Burgesses in my family in Somerset, PA. Can anyone tell me if there were only two House of Burgesses, one in Virginia and one in Maryland? I can find nothing to indicate that Pennsylvania had its own House. Would they have been representatives to the Maryland House? I cannot find anything online to make this more clear. Thanks for any help. Joan in Illinois

Hi all..I hope someone can help. I've been tracing this line for many years and keep reaching dead ends. I am tracing the Rhodes family and with the variant spellings and the repetitiveness of Jacob, Henry, John and Daniel I am having a hard time sorting it all out. My Rhodes family was in Mercer County, OHIO by 1850. My 3rd great grandfather was Henry Rhodes b. about 1800 in supposedly Northumberland Co., PA. I believe he had brothers John and Daniel and I believe his father may have been Jacob Rhodes. Prior to Mercer Co., OH it appears they moved around Ohio a bit (possibly Wayne Co., Ohio and other counties). They all originated in Pennsylvania that is for sure and the only other clue I have is Northumberland Co., PA based on a court record (however, this was when Henry Rhodes was 82 years old) I would very much like to connect with others tracing this family in these area to try to sort out all of this. I am willing to share/copy all info I have. Keith Rhoades, Torrance, CA [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>

Hello! Thomas and Mary AUCOTT arrived in PHILADELPHIA from England in 1844 with their children Jane, Harriett and Thomas. They returned sometime in 1851 or 1852 with two more sons James and William Stevenson AUCOTT. I would be most obliged if someone who has access to the Philadelphia Passenger Lists could lookup this family for me. Regards Bruce Virginia Beach -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

I am looking for Penny ancestors in Pennsylvania, but really don't know where to begin (other than check census data and join listservs). Can you give me a lead as to where to begin? I see that there are quite a few Penny's listed in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania in the late 1700's. The Penny family who settled in Champaign Co., Illinois (my great grandparents) married into the Thompson family. Lemuel R. Thompson b 1847 in Marshall Co., Indiana married Margaret Robinson b. 1847 in Kittaning, Armstrong Co., Pennsylvania (this information is from the birth record of my great uncle). Margaret Robinson's parents were Samuel Robinson b. between 1815-1821 in Armstrong Co., PA and Anna ? b. about 1823 in Pennsylvania. Could the Penny brothers might have originated in Allegheny County? Any suggestions on how to best research this family is most appreciated!!! This is the information that I have to date. Joseph and Henry are the only Penny's that show up in the Madison Co., Ohio census data. Joseph L. Penny b 9/15/1795 Pennsylvania d. 6/22/1879 St. Joseph, Co., Illinois m. Rhoda A. Johnson b. about 1815 Ohio d. 2/9/1859 St. Joseph, Co., Illinois Joseph had a brother by the name of Henry b. 7/15/1804 who was born in Pennsylvania. Their father was born about 1774 in Pennsylvania. Their mother was born in England - don't know her name. Here is a reference that I used to trace some of this information: Source: History of Madison County, Ohio http://www.heritagepursuit.com/Madison/MadisonJeffersonB.htm "Henry Penny was born July 15, 1804, in Pennsylvania, but in 1810 his parents came to Madison County, Ohio, and settled in Monroe Township, where Henry was left parentless when only eight years old. He was then raised by one of the Johnsons, on the farm where James Peene now resides, near Jefferson. He was the eldest of a family of five children, of whom but one survives. Henry was a pioneer farmer and frontier woodsman. About 1827. he settled on his farm, about one mile due north of where the Urbana road branches off from the National road. There he cleared and farmed until his death. April 6, 1880. He was three times married-first to Cynthia Johnson: second, to Elizabeth. only daughter of Reason Francis: and lastly to Mary, a sister to his first wife, and daughter of Jacob Johnson."

Yes it's the right family. I've traced Charles and his family forward from 1830 through his death in 1869, but I can't get back before 1830. I was hoping their marriage might offer some clues. ----- Original Message ----- From: "D.
