Wonderful - Wonderful!! so glad this got going. Re: Rev war file on Thomas Phelan - R8168. I have an barely readable copy I made this last winter at Fed Archieves in CA. while searching I also found file on Jesse Phelan S11237 application made when he was 70 80 by his daughter and son-in law. Baltimore, Md. Jesse was from same place as Thomas and am assuming he was a brother. been kicking my self for not looking at his record more closely. has anyone got access to rev war pension files??? Also Womack - have an article with picture of Stephen with muzzle loader in front of fireplace in his home in 1981 - Fending off Urban Renewal in his area. It was in Geo Magazine Vol 3, Dec. 1981. Knapp Publishing Co. My research line is same as Chris's down to Jeremiah's. Mine is his son Jesse's - The Texas line. (My husband's family). Hope Chris and I can get past Pa 1752. and we all benefit from this list and sharing info. Good Luck!! Mary
