I wrote this email to my distant cousin, Dave Ward. What do you folks think of it? - Vince Summers. "I think it quite likely, that John Stewart DePUY, who married Lucy JOHNSON, was the son of John and Elizabeth Vanhorn DePUY. I thought I would check to see what you think of my argument why... 2nd Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, PA: 1806, Nov. 17, Depuy, John, and Elizabeth Vanhorn. 1806, Nov. 17, Depuy, Mary, and John Stewart. Now the dates are identical, and I think represent a brother and sister marrying on the same day. Note that one couple would become STEWART, and the other DePUY. Now John DePUY and Elizabeth Vanhorn would qualify as parents for John Stewart DePUY who was born circa 1807. And who to name it after in view of a brother and sister being so close they wed on the same day? After the sister's husband, John STEWART. Does that ring true or likely to you? If so, can we verify it?"
From: "Susan Abramson" <suenstu@hotmail.com> This is one of the question that Susan has asked Is there a place where you can find records for ships from Philadelphia to Ireland between 1897 and 1912? Hello I have asked this question several times but nobody has answered my question. Several people have asked if I find the answer let them know. Here is their answer. From: "LostCousins" <info@lostcousins.com> Presumably you haven't asked us before! > My great grand parents went back to England from the > U.S., several times for visits. Between 1870 and 1910. > My question is did the U.K. keep any records of people > coming into the U.K.? If they did keep the records is > it on film or fiche? John Ships' passenger lists from 1890-1960 are held in the National Archives, and as we mentioned in our newsletter they are being digitized by Findmypast.com (entries from 1890-99 have already been indexed, so you should find your ancestors there). Records prior to 1890 no longer exist, apart from some dating from 1878. Shipping lines may have copies of the lists in their archives. The existing digitization project is for outward bound passenger lists only - we don't know whether there are plans to digitize the lists of inward bound passengers. Until the records are digitized they can only be searched in person at the National Archives, and even then only if you know the name of the ship and the date of the voyage - there is no name index. See the National Archives site for more information (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/familyhistory/migration/). The LostCousins Team

I have copies of marriage licenses for ancestors married in 1870. Both the licenses and the certificate were copied from microfiche at my local LDS Center. I requested the films for the years of interest and, when I found the license applications on the fiche, the LDS staff made a hard copy for me. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Does anyone know what the marriage requirements were in 1870? Did they have to apply for a license? Did they apply to the city or the church itself? Or were marriages simply recorded by the church, which may have then informed the city on these marriage returns? Thanks, Susan

_http://cityguide.pojonews.com/fe/Heritage/stories/he_dr_bard.asp_ (http://cityguide.pojonews.com/fe/Heritage/stories/he_dr_bard.asp) Poughkeepsie Journal Dr. Bard's touch felt in college’s creation By Margaret L. Marquez Samuel Bard helped found the first medical college in New York and was the chief physician of New York’s first hospital. He served as President George Washington’s private doctor and even saved the president’s life not long after his first inauguration. But Bard’s influence was felt as much in the rural hills of Dutchess County as it was in New York City. Bard, who had a home in Hyde Park on what is now the Vanderbilt estate, established both the Medical Society of Dutchess County and the Dutchess County Agricultural Society. He also aided in the development of the county in his role as district secretary of the Society for the Promotion of Agriculture, Manufactures and Useful Arts. His accomplishments might have been difficult to predict during a sickly period of his childhood. He was born in Philadelphia in 1742 to Dr. John and Suzanne Valleau Bard. His grandfather, Pierre Fauconnier, was secretary to Lord Corbury, governor of New York. When he was 14, he had a continual fever, so his father withdrew him from studying and sent him to the home of a friend, Dr. Cadwallader Colden of Newburgh. Bard joined Dr. Colden in his interest in botany. After his health recovered, he entered King’s College and helped with his father’s practice. He went to England to study in 1761 and a year later went to Scotland, where he won the annual medal for botany at the University of Edinburgh. And in 1765, he received his medical degree from the University of Edinburgh. After joining his father in a professional partnership and with the help of 10 other doctors as professors, he founded the first medical college in New York in 1767. Doctor soon aids a president Bard proposed the first hospital for New York, which opened in 1774, with him as chief physician, a post he held for 20 years. After the Revolution, the name of King’s College changed to Columbia College, and the Medical Society of New York was formed with Dr. Bard as the first president. George Washington was inaugurated president in April 1789, and in June he called Bard to relieve a high fever and severe pain in his thigh. Assisted by his father, Bard was credited by Washington with saving his lifng his life by removing a malignancy. Bard founded a dispensary in New York City for medical relief. In 1792, he was appointed dean of the faculty of medicine at Columbia College. Soon after his father decided to retire to Hyde Park, Bard relinquished several of his responsibilities and moved there. Bard quick to take on tasks While building his new home, and despite being involved with laying out the grounds and the design and planting of the gardens, Bard accepted the position with the county promotion society. Transportation was needed and propelling boats by steam was promising. With the help of others, he promoted ship building along the Hudson River. He also established the medical and agricultural societies in 1804. When the medical faculty of Columbia College and the College of Physicians and Surgeons united in 1814, Bard was elected the first president and continued in that position until his death in 1821. The creation and development of the Elgin Garden of medicinal plants in New York City was mainly the work of Dr. David Hosack, but his association with Bard was so firm that it may be attributed to both. When the garden was dismantled, some of the plants and trees came to Hyde Park. Bard lived in retirement in Hyde Park until his death in 1821, one day after his wife Mary died. They are buried in a single grave in St. James Church yard. Bard had been the donor of the land where the church was built. The Hyde Park estate was sold to Hosack, who continued Bard’s efforts in landscaping and botany. Owned by the National Park Service, the site today displays Bard’s and Hosack’ s love and care in designing the grounds as a park. ================================== DR.

The interesting feedback on Larry B's question of last week regarding a "Pocohontas Lodge," raises questions for me as well. Has anyone on the list ever pursued and found useful information from organizations like the I.O.O.F? I have two people I'm searching (Wilson Freas, John Walker) who were associated with "Walker Lodge 306 I.O.O.F." and something called "The Liverymen's Association. The time frame here is 1900-1916. Does anyone think these angles are worth pursuing? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Dear Bev: Did you try probate records? Even if they didn't have any money, there could be an Administration, if not a will. The Inquirer and Public Ledger are the main ones, I suppose the Bulletin was around at that time as well. Did you check the Inquirer on the online edition? Or on microfilm? Did you do it yourself? Or did you have someone do it for you? Did you check for a burial record from his church? Do you know what church he belonged to? If not, then pursue that avenue.

Ken, Thanks so much for this information! Wonder if the Genealogical Society of Pa. has records? I will check. Is there a local newspaper that I shoud be checking for an obit? There is no obit in the Inquirer or the Public Ledger. My great great grandmother, Maria Heck Pfeiff Rawlins was German and operated a "trimmings store". Her husband Sam was English/Irish. Sam died in December of 1884, just before Christmas and is buried at Greenmount.

Michael Lynch is my great grandfather. His son, John, my grandfather. I know nothing of Michael other than what I have been able to pull off the census reports and I do know when he came to the USA. His parents and siblings are a big question mark. I'm guessing his father could be Michael or John as the name is repeated down though the family. His mother might be Mary. I haven't a clue where they were from in Ireland, but if I had to guess I'd say Galway, Clare or Cork. I've literally hit the brick wall and was hoping that someone is researching the other children. I wish you success in your search. Thanks for responding, Kathleen <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.

A CATHERINE A. MAGUIRE (nee Merrick),aged 88, died Oct. 28, 2007. Catherine is buried with my Matilda (Wood) Foxhill in Fernwood Cemetery. Does anyone know of Catherine or researching the Maguire line? One of Matilda's children (Gertrude) was married to a Maguire and I am guessing that this was a son of Catherine's. There are 9 burials in the Section 76 Lot 42 plot. Surnames: Foxhill, Maguire, Prince, Butler and Watson. Thank you, Jane
