Thanks very much, Bill. I have seen some reference out there to this fellow. I am not sure if or how he connects, but it is definitely possible he does.

Hello all Back again with this particular line. I have been pouing over the census all week and my elusive Rhoda Luderitz Anderson is not only missing in 1870 but also in 1900. I have however found clues...... I now am sure we have the right family as the family always wondered who it was that our father ( Benjamin Joseph Bevan) would travel to visit when young that lived on Tyson and Frankford Ave. SHERLOCK was the name that came up in most conversations but no one was sure. Rhoda would be our father's great grandmother. Rhoda LUDERITZ Anderson wife of Henry ANDERSON was widowed sometime after 1880 and before 1900. Henry and Rhoda were in NJ in 1880 with two of their children Rhoda W age 11 and Anna P age 12. Below is the census pertinent I have found, I am wondering if anyone has any connection to the family. HAINES is a new addition to our surnames. Rhoda and Henry Anderson's daughter Clara (that is their daughter if I can find a record that says she is , LOL) married Harrison BEVAN. I have been unable to locate Rhoda ANDERSON in the 1900 and at first thought she may have died but there she is in 1910 with family at 8072 Erdrick st. Where is she in 1900? I could not locate Joseph HAINES and Anna P in 1900 either. Thanks for any info Kassie 1910 Joseph G Haines 41 head Anna P 41 wife Naomi 19 daughter Rhoda Anderson 66 mother in law 1920 8072 Erdrick St Albert Sherlock 36 Head notation says son in law with arrow to the Haines Naomi or Naoma Sherlock 29 wife arrow says daughter to Haines Joseph G Haines 51 father in law Anna P Haines 50 mother in law Ruth W Sherlock 6 daughter Albert L Sherlock Jr 4 son Rhoda Anderson 76 grandmother 1930 4009 Tyson Ave Sherlock, Albert L 46 Head , Naomi 39 wife Ruth 16 daughter Albert L 15 son Robert 6 son Anna May 4 9/12 daughter Haines, Joseph 61 father in law Anna P 60 mother in law Anderson, Rhoda 86 grandmother ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Folks... As you will recall: I struck out on the NEVILLE I sought the other day. In the newspaper databases. Now the name is pretty tight. Most of them closely connect. With the exception of that immigrant fellow. Do you see *any* of them in Philadelphia who are *not* immigrants? I have begun to tie in such names as BIGELOW and SAYRE with the name. Thanks! Vince Summers (Offline for now...)

Vince, does this Nevell look familiar? Charles P Nevell, b-2 Apr 1862 Phila. + Sarah Jane Pallatt b-19 July 1866 Phila. 1. Lillian H b-Sept 1888 Phila.

Looking for descendants of Henry/Henri SCOTT, who was a noted bass opera singer. His father, John Wallace Scott, was a Civil War Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, and he is being honored in a ceremony at the Upper Octorara Cemetery in Parkesburg, PA on June 24th. If anyone knows of any living descendants, we'd like to invite them. Henri was born in Coatesville, but lived for a number of years in Philadelphia. He married. Alice Madison JEFFERSON, b. circa 1876, DE, m. circa 1903 Here are their children: Janet C. SCOTT, b. circa 1903, PA; m. {__}THOMPSON Henrietta G.

SCOTT, b. circa Oct 1919, PA If anyone has any more information regarding Henri and his descendants, please post it here. Thanks, Mark Waldron

Thanks very much for trying. This family is a tough problem! I think there is more to them than meets the eye. For one thing, I am beginning to think Elizabeth's parents died rather young...

January 12, 1865, Hiram AYRES - prominent in the school system and in the Presbyterian Church, and who held a government assignment, married 2ndly Elizabeth NEVILLE. Now Elizabeth has long been a quandry to me. There is data out there, specifying parents for her. And there is other data out there that would seem to point to her. Yet there is never anything that makes for a clear case as to her identity - nothing that I have yet found -- even in EGLE's books. I am hoping there is mention of this marriage in the Inquirer because of Hiram's background - and that it goes a bit beyond the normal amount, so I can lay a hand on this! Does anyone see this in the newspaper databases? Would you check for me? Thanks, Vince Summers

Hi Could someone tell me if Centre St of the 1860 era still exist today, and if so has the street name changed Thanks in advance Gary Dungan

The Alumni Register of the University of Pennsylvania (Printed 1925). It has an entry, apparently for the year 1852, concerning David Jr WEATHERLY, the Philadelphia Lawyer (Civil War times). I would be most curious to know what it contains! Vince Summers

Philadelphia became the textile capital of the nation for a very short period of time, until after WWII when the government policies and union-BUSTING destroyed Northern America's industrial base by relocating the textile mills to anti-union states down South.
