Hello All,
I just received the Pittsburgh Gazette Gleanings 1786-1820. In browsing through it I've seen several notices of Indian Chiefs signing letters to Pittsburgh merchants.
Can anyone explain to me what these letters were about, or for? Thanks, Carol S.

I have just recieved information today that Catherine Dawson, born abt 1818 in Beaver county, married a James Robb. I have no source, only family sent the name of her husband.. There isn't a marriage listed in any of my Beaver books. I would appreciate anything that the list members might have. Catherine Dawson was the daughter of Benjamin and Sarah Bain Dawson of Beaver Co.
Thanks so much, Brenda

I also have very little info. What I have is Wilson Dunlap married Amelia
Tea daughters Elsie, Elizabeth and Marie. I'll keep my eyes open for
anything that mentions your names. Wilson and Amelia were supposed to have
lived in New Brighton when Elsie got married in 1902.

Edward Phelan, born 1805, perhaps Tipperary, died 1871 in Youngstown, OH.
Married to Margaret McCormick, with the following known children: John, born
1841, and James, 1845, perhaps Tipperary; Catherine, December 1846, in
Tipperary; and Bridget, Jan, 1848, in Tipperary.
Margaret immigrated with children James, Catherine, and Bridget in Oct 1849,
arriving in Philadelphia. I haven't located the husband's immigration or
that of the son, John.
The family was in the Summit and Cresson area of Cambria

Did you see samples of the letters? I believe some of those letters
may have been I.O.U.'s for merchandise from their businesses. but I'm not
sure without seeing something. That would be interesting.

Thanks Carol -
I cannot find the original message with the name of your publication -
can you repost it? I'll go back through mine and see if I can determine
which tribes these chiefs belong to - they were Northern tribes, and my
family is from Southern tribes.
BTW - none of our families match up - I'm researching
Patterson/Covert/Harper/Swartz.

Hello:
I am new to the list.
I am wondering if anyone has the back issues of :
"Milestones: Journal of Beaver County History," Vol 10, #4 (Fall 1985).
"Beaver Countian" Vol. 4, Number 2 (1993)
I would like to ask for some copies from these issues and will certainly pay
for them. I did see that some back issues are on the Beaver County History
webpage but I have not been able to access that site.
The articles are about EMIL BOTT, the artist, 1827-1908. If anyone has any
information about him,
I am researching the BEIGHLEY line. It has variant spellings, of course, as
so many do. BEIGHLIE/BEIGHLY and probably some I have not yet run across.
Anybody able to help me? Sylvia
I just read a really interesting historical accounting of the settlement of
the Ohio & Kentucky area's in the last 1780's called the FRONTIERSMEN - until
then, I was really not as aware of the northern Indian tribe movements in the
Pennsylvania & Ohio areas until then. That is why I mentioned it is possible
they were I.O.U.'s for merchandise obtained from the merchants by the
indians. Do you have the names of the other signer's?
