Hi everyone I've added 40 new funeral cards to my site. They are for unknown locations as well as England, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Michigan,California, Ohio, New Hampshire, Maine, New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, & Nebraska Start at http://www.ancestorsatrest.com/funeral_cards/ but choose by location. My list of names was getting too big so I organized all the records by location. Also online in the last week: More Cemetery Records at http://www.ancestorsatrest.com/cemetery_records/ I hope these help you find an ancestor. Be sure to tell others about these records if you haven't already. I have a lot more waiting for me to find the time to get them ready to go online.

Dear Peggy ~ Both the birth certificate and the family are right. Each Pennsylvania County is divided into smaller subdivisions called townships (abbreviated Twp). It is larger than a town, and may have several small towns within its boundries. Or it might encompass one town and the surrounding countryside. If someone lives outside a town, he would say "I live in X township." If he lives in a very small town, he might say the same thing, instead of naming the town. As far as Courthouses, etc., go, governing bodies are at the County level. All legal activities and documentation are handled at at the County or State level. If you are listing information in a genealogy record, your late husband's place of birth would be listed as: "Indianhead, Salt Lick Township, Fayette County, PA," or you could omit the "Indianhead." I found that Indianhead, PA is in Fayette County, and there is a Salt Lick Twp. in Fayette County. I couldn't actually locate Indianhead, but it very likely is in Salt Lick Twp., or was, when your husband was born. The population of a township may ask for it to be divided and a new, additional, township be formed. Here is a brief early history of Salt Lick Twp. which I took off the Fayette Co., Salt Lick Twp. website. EARLY HISTORY OF SALT LICK Salt Lick is the northeastern township of Fayette county, and it's inhabitants are principally enganged in the pursuit of agriculture, although there are areas of valuable mineral wealth embraced within it's boundaries. Westmoreland bounds it on the north, Somerset on the east, Chestnut Ridge is on the west, and on the south lies the township of Springfield. The political existences of the township dates from December, 1797, at which time, in accordance with the petition "of sundry inhabitants of the Salt Lick Settlement in the township of Bullskin, praying for a division of said township and that the top of Chestnut Ridge may be the line of separation," the prayer of the petitioners was granted by the court, and the new township became a distinct political unit. Though now officially designated as Salt Lick it retained for years it's popular title "Yough", a name unauthorized but illustrating the tenacity of familiar usage. The name "Salt Lick" was suggested by the licks of salt that mark the principal water course in the township--that is, Indian Creek. The surface is mountainous, high hills attaining an altitude above the ordinary level, and in the west forming a plateau. Limestone exists in large quantities and coal appears along the line of the water courses. The projected railroad up Indian Creek would develop the coal and other mineral resources of the township by rendering it accessible to market. The township consists of three small villages and one hamlet. From Nelson's Biographical Dictionary of Fayette County. Good luck. Susan in Louisiana (whose folks came from next door in Greene Co.)

My first husband (who passed away 9 yrs. ago) was born in a place called Fayette County, and his birth cert. says Salt Lick TWP. The family always said Indianhead, PA. Can anyone give me information about either place and is the place still there , large or small town? Court house or still oldhouses there . The name would have been William henry Pattison III, b. July 23, 1923. Any info. greatly appreciated Peggy Jones

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, May 4, 1905 MRS. FRANCES SPROTT, widow of the late J.W. SPROTT, died suddenly at her home in Derby on Sunday evening, April 23, 1905.  She was stricken with apoplexy and expired within a few minutes.  The Lucas Ledger speaks of her as follows: "FRANCES A. BROWN was born April 24, 1830, in Fayette County, Pa.  She came to Iowa with her parents when but fifteen years of age, settling in Lee County, near Keokuk.  She was married to JOS. W. SPROTT March 24, 1853 and moved to Lucas County in 1858, where she has since resided.  Five children survive her; ELIZABETH MITCHELL, JOAN CHAPMAN, LAURA PARKIN, KATE ROBISON, ALICE WASHBURN, and one brother CHAS. BROWN, of Montrose, Iowa, all of whom were present at the funeral services.  Her only son THOS. L. died in 1877.  She also leaves twenty-five grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. MRS. SPROTT was one of the pioneer settlers of Union Township, and was known and loved by a large circle of friends, many of whom had enjoyed the hospitality of her home or received material benefits from her generous hand.  She was most wonderfully devoted to her home and family, whose constant care was ever on her mind.  She was a firm believer in a Spiritual existence -- that when she left this world it would be to join the loved ones gone before who awaited her over there.  She was a great lover of flowers.  Her death occurred as the Easter lilies budded forth.  May her spirit dwell where the flowers never cease to bloom. Funeral services were held at the home Tuesday at one o'clock, conducted by Rev. Pressly.  Interment was made at Last Chance." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert August 18, 2004 http://www.rootsweb.com/~ialucas/Main.htm posted at this site with Nancee's permission

Bob Wilson Stamford, CT > Hi Bob It is extremely unlikely that you will find a record of passengers on those Great Lakes crossings in early 1800. There was no mandate to archive manifests at that time. There are ships lists going to PA but those are for ships sailing across the Ocean. You could check some of the Great Lakes Shipping websites for newspaper accounts but don't get your hopes up. Even if you find an account of a passage, it's not likely you'll find a list of passengers unless something extraordinary happened to them. Try http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/shiplinks.shtml for links to sites that might be of help to you. Look for GREAT LAKES SHIPPING on that page.
