1. [PaOldC] Baily [1]
I'm sure you probably know that Bailey (several different spellings) is an extremely common name in Chester County, and many of us have Baily ancestors. My original Baily emigrant, and true for many Chester Co Bailys, was Joel, who first appears in local records in 1685...he had many children, and his progeny are many. This said I found nothing for an Andrew. I find a WM in Joel's line, and a Jeremiah, but all of the wrong timeframe to be yours.....the name Wm seems to run through the g
2. Re: [PaOldC] Wm Boyd [1]
I am also looking for a Mary Boyd who married Alexander Hindman, probably in Chester, ca. 1765. He was listed as "inmate" on the 1765 tax list. Suspect his father, or at least a relative, was Robert Hindman. No clue on who Mary Boyd was. Her name was given in a bible record of their daughter, Jane Hindman Coffey. By 1768, Alexander Hindman had moved to Augusta/Rockbridge VA. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Cc: pa-old-chester-l@rootsweb.com

4. Re: [PaOldC] PEERY Family, Chester County, PA [1]
Another: John Perry/Parry of "Marlborough" m. Margaret Pusey 9 mo., 16, 1737 at Londongrove FMH in Chester Co. Their marriage certificate (acc. to Gwen's transcription) is not signed by any other Perrys which supports the belief that John's family hailed from Massachusetts, also the place of his birth.

5. Re: [PaOldC] Tanner Hawley in West Bradford [1]
There are quite a few Hawleys in Chester, all descending, I think, from the original emigrant, Benjamin , who came to PA in 1722, from England. He was born 8-5-1703 and died 7-29-1782, ;the son of Thomas and Frances Malin Hawley, of London. Benj. was a Quaker, and married his 2nd wife, Catharine Hillborn, at the Birmingham meeting, 4-20-1763...he had numerous children. Son Benjamin, who m Mary Johnson, dau of Benjamin, had a son named Robert, b 3-28-1762; m Patience Yearsley 11-21-1787. from THE HIS

8. [PaOldC] Nipple [1]
The only trace of this surname I can find is a Jacob Nibel (Nipple), who was a member of the St. Peter's Lutheran Church, and whose name appears on a 1771 petition....as you didn't include what denomination Bethlehem Church was/is, I can't tell if this is a likely ancestor or not. There are no wills in the entire area (many counties) that contain the surname Nipple, any spelling I can think of. Sandra Joseph K. Nipple

12. Re: [PaOldC] Nipple [1]
The name of the church BETHLEHEM EVANGELICAL CHURCH. It's like Joseph didn't exist prior to moving into Juniata County. Thanks for the info, every little bit is helpful. I'm keeping the attitude, that I'll will soon find a clue that will open the door to everything. Just last summer I found a copy of the marriage application for one of Joseph's grandsons, William. The application had that William's father, Perry was born in Beavertown, PA. Perry was Joseph's second to youngest. So I'm going t
13. Re: [PaOldC] Forks of the Brandywine Presbyterian Church [1]
When searching for genealogical data, there are a couple things one should always try first.....they often provide just what you want...google searches and checking the county genweb archives are 1 and 2 on MY list of 'things to do'...quickly followed with a place search on the LDS site, to see if there area filmed records that would contain the info desired. If you do a simple google.com search, using "forks of the Brandywine Presbyterian church" as your subject, you'll find a site dedicated to that
14. [PaOldC] Loot from Phila to W. Bradford Twp Chester Co (error) [1]
Yesterday I address the subject in my query as W. Chester rather than W. Bradford Twp. My apologies (Sr moment sounds like a good reason). So my query does have to do with the things the colonists took out of Phila before the English took over. The story is it was brought to W. Bradford to hide it; but Howe's pillaging provided him with this loot. Heard about it but not read of it. Has anyone? Pat --------------------------------- Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!

15. Re: [PaOldC] Conditions on Prison Ships after Battle of Brandywine - ship Jersey [1]
Gwen...do you know any more about the 'Jersey' prison ship? I have been researching the STAPLETON family. There was a Capt. Robert STAPLETON in NYC who was Commander of that ship in the late 1690s-early 1700s.........I had read where it was used for a prison ship during the RW, but did not know any more until this email that you sent! Can't believe that 70+ yrs later it was still around! No wonder they died on it! I am sure accomodations on it were ancient! New York City Wills, 1665-1707: Ancestry.co

18. [PaOldC] Lewis WOODWARD 1808-1881 [1]
Does anyone have anything on the parents of Lewis WOODWARD shown below? I know there was an Evan WOODWARD, a John, a Thomas, and a William WOODWARD shown in wills in Chester Co. (Lewis WOODWARD named his children these names.) He was a farmer in the censuses, in Robeson Twp. They appeared to worship at the Lutheran church since both buried at St James Lutheran in Geigertown, Robeson Twp.. After Hannah KERST died, Lewis remarried a Sariah KENNEY, who is also buried at the same cemetery. Hannah KERST

Larry, This information below show's how naming patterns continued during that time period, and the JEREMIAH given name later into the 1800's. I didn't find any earlier refernces in this book on this surname, and no ANDREW was noted. ************ >From the book; "Early Church Records of Chester County, Pa."

Here's part of a breathless family yarn as recounted by Agnes (Loughead) Forsyth's son, James Forsyth about 1852 or so and 400 miles distant. "When Philadelphia was taken possession of by the British, Agnes, Colonel Lougheads eldest daughter retired to Cross Roads, Chester County, to her Father's Sister, Mrs- McDowell, taking with her all her brothers and sisters, and as much store goods as could be carried, leaving the remainder in charge of her Mother who remained in the City.
