1. Re: [PaOldC] Different Esther Painter but interesting [1]
The Samuel Painter you mention below couldn't have been my Hannah Painter's father, if he had a daughter named Ann who was married 3-28-1747, because my Hannah was born in 1751- unless his first wife died and he remarried then started a new family (including Hannah) more than 25 years after the family he had with Hannah's mother, Esther Gilpin. I have my Hannah Painter's parents as Samuel Painter and Esther Gilpin. My sources are: 1. PA-Roots.com Marriage Records - Chester County: PA Roots Genea
2. Re: [PaOldC] Don't believe the IGI !! [1]
Hi, I can't this one go by either... The LDS do not have your family wrong... The person who submitted it does. This part of the LDS records are no different then any other company who gives people a place to post their family... The company is not responsibile for the content of user / member submitted information... They also do not correct records that are incorrect. If you submitted your file to rootsweb or ancestry.com and somene changed it cause someone else said it was wrong.. You'd be seeing
3. [PaOldC] Hogmanay [1]
"It is ordinary among some Plebians in the South of Scotland, to go about from door to door upon New Year`s Eve, crying Hagmane." Scotch Presbyterian Eloquence, 1693. Christmas was not celebrated as a festival and virtually banned in Scotland for around 400 years, from the end of the 17th century onward. The reason for this had its roots in the Protestant Reformation when the Scottish church believed Christmas to be a Popish or Catholic feast and therefore had to be banned. It was

5. Re: [PaOldC] Painter [1]
I'm seeking more info on a James Alfred Painter born before 1843 who died in Pittsburgh in 1891. He supposedly married a Gillespie, and had a daughter named Anne Lemoyne Painter (1875-1960) who married a Lewis Huffman Williams and a James Evans. I don't know if there are possible Chester roots or not but it seemed worth asking with all the discussion of Painters. There may be some Quaker connections. Evans and Williams were likely Welsh, and when looking at maps of the area around where they owned property
6. [PaOldC] George Clemens 1850 census Chester Co [1]
Hello: I have some Clemens (Clemmens) families, but these folks are German (settled in Bucks and Montgomery Co). And I have only one George, George B. Clemens b. 1741 in Montgomery County s/o Abraham Clemens and Catarina Bachman. I have no further info on him. There were German Clemens/Clemmens families and English ones (Clemens, Clements) in early Pa., so it might help to try to figure out where yours originated. I would think if Peter was baptized in a "Lutheran or Reformed" Church, then it is likely he w

8. [PaOldC] Benjamin or Samuel McWilliams circa 1800 [1]
Hi, I'm fairly new to your website and have thoroughly enjoyed reading the wealth of information that's been provided. Am hoping that someone may have information on my "brickwall" gggrandfather Benjamin McWilliams b. 1810 d. 1848 in Mercer county, PA or his brother Samuel b. ? (his wife, Mary was born in 1791) d. 1842 in Mercer county. I've been looking for a connection of my Benjamin to 3 early McWilliams settlers of Mercer county (parts later Lawrence county) - brothers John, George and James who cam
9. Re: [PaOldC] Errors in Records [1]
Hi Millie, You are absolutely correct. One of the things I learned from classes was that you need at least two different documents saying the same thing to prove the information. Now by Documents that isn't an extraction from the document, an extraction is not primary documentation, or even something you read in a book, those are secondary. Primary documentation is the actual record of the event. Good documents, poor documents... it is important to know which a document is. Death certificates, obits,

Kim, in Chester Co Births, by John T Humphrey, there is Lydia JOHN, dau of Samuel JOHN and Ann JENKIN, born 7 9mo 1745, shown at Uwchlan MM. Nantmeal MM would not be that far from Uwchlan MM. Could she be the spouse of your John MAULSBY? She would be the right age to marry in 1766.

11. Re: [PaOldC] Jacob WEIDNER and Sara and 6 children [1]
Diana, Are you aware of a book titled Zion Lutheran Church, East Pikeland, Chester County, 1760-1942? While at the Lutheran Theological Seminary on Germantown Pike in Mount Airy, I imaged the index -- 42 pages. I see it contains a Jacob and Sarah WEIDNER and also a Henrich and Susanna HIPPLE. I believe the book was an extraction of baptisms, marriages and deaths. Any interest? Link ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diana Quinones" To: "PABerks" ; "pa-
12. Re: [PaOldC] IGI errors and non errors [1]
LDS does not allow You to change Your Own records that you've uploaded, if you find you've made a mistake. That's really not a good way to go about things!! I had uploaded something when I first started, and it was good info to the best of my knowledge back then. I emailed them to find out how to change it, and they said I can't. I can't add on or even get rid of the old tree. Ancestry, on the other hand, allows you to upload, delete, etc. Lynn
13. Re: [PaOldC] Different Esther Painter but interesting [1]
Dear Barcley et al, I tell you, our ancestors, especially the old Quaker families, used and re-used every single scrap of useable goods, and I believe they also re-used their names generation after generation! I can see I definitely inherited this virtue. My middle son and his wife are expecting their first child, so I researched the names that have been passed down through the family. It is shocking, and slightly funny, that there are really very few names overall, but they were just recycled wi

16. [PaOldC] Pearson Family [1]
Hello, Chester, Pa listers: I was just doing some research on the Pearson branch of my family and ran across this interesting website. Can anyone who is doing research on the Pennsylvania Pearsons take a look and tell me if they have run across it before, and if it seems to be useful in terms of the migration of the Pearsons and other families to South Carolina, Ohio and Indiana? Thanks, Kim Townsend Spangrude
17. [PaOldC] alternative spellings Zook [1]
I have seen the name as Zuck and Zug. There are some "Zook" families from Lancaster County, Pa. Don't know the specifics, I remember seeing them researching other surnames. And this appears to be a "German" name. With the Europeans, if you can not find them under the spelling you have, look for alternatives. The spellings of some European names have many variations (even within the same family). What I do if I am stuck as to alternative spellings is use the LDS search at www.familysearch.org

Funny that you mention that, Sandra. I have been saying for ages that the will transcription of one of my relatives, Benjamin Thomas, is incorrect. I have seen the original will, and for some reason the transcriber wrote that he had "sons Owen and Thomas" when the original will says his "son

21. [PaOldC] What Percentage of Poor People Went to School in the 1800's? [1]
Does anyone have any idea how many poor people went to school in the 1800's? The reason I ask, is because I'm wondering if my Smiths, who did farming, ever had any education at all. Now I know that the Yarnalls, Matlacks, Garretts, etc (the rich) all had education, but what about the poor folks? Lorraine
22. Re: [PaOldC] transcriptions [1]
NOTHING is always correct....my point was, though, that until one sees the actual document, they can't condemn the spelling of a name in a transcription, that they 'believe' is incorrect. What many feel is a transcription error is the actual way the name was spelled in the document! This has nothing to do with actual transcription errors, such as you may have encountered. You looked at the document and saw the error.......but, the people I'm speaking of NEVER look at the actual document....they j
23. Re: [PaOldC] Horekill, Swans Valley settlement 1663 [1]
This was nowhere near Chester. A small, ill-fated Dutch settlement, Zwaanendael (swan valley), was attempted near present-day Lewes in 1631, but other early Dutch adventurers turned to Sweden to support their plans for permanent homes. ( We visited the Zwaanendael museum, while visiting Lewes, several years ago...) .try http://history.delaware.gov/museums/zm/zm_main.shtml Here's an article from the Mennonite Church, on Pieter Corneliszoon Plockoy..... http://www.mcusa-archives.org/MHB/Plan
24. [PaOldC] Don't believe the IGI [1]
The census sure messed me up and I wasn't born in the 1800,s. I am listed in the 1930 census as first name Hettie born in Alabama. In the 1940 census I am listed as Patty born in Georgia. When applying for my social security I sure had several months of research and papers to found to prove who I was. Finally the social security asked how I could have been born in both states at the same time. My reply was that a bridge separated Phenic City, ALA and Columbus, Georgia and my mother must have given birth
