Dear Listmembers, I am re-posting this query from Brian and Pam. I have been unsuccessful in locating any information on this so far. I am hopeful that our listmembers will check their files for anything that might help. Sara Pam_Brian_Deaver@compuserve.com> I am seeking any information on my ancestor Hannah Piles. What I know of her comes from Reverend William Tecumseh Sherman Deavor in his book, "The Deavor Family in America", 1896. Hannah was the wife of Jacob Deavor (1779-1840), and died in Fulton County, Pennsylvania in 1836. Rev. Deavor writes: "Hannah Piles was a model wife and mother. Of her death we have this statement: "Hannah Piles Deavor died Saturday, October 8, 1836 and was buried October 10, 1836, Rev. T. McEnally preaching the funeral in Mt. Pleasant Church at 1 o'clock. Wednesday, October 12, I went to Broad Top and returned to Wenegardner's for the meeting in the evening, conducted by Revs. Thomas McEnally and B. F. Nixon. Friday October 17, 1836 I returned home. (Signed) Adam B. Deavor" Adam B. Deavor was the son of Hannah (Piles) Deavor... If anyone has seen a reference to Hannah Piles, or could provide me with some background information on the Piles family of Pennsylvania or Maryland, I would appreciate it.
