Hello fellow researchers,
It has been several months since I last offered to share some of the more
important research items discovered during my study of the Scotch-Irish. Because
of the amount of time required to copy and mail these items I will only be
able to do this once a year. ( I make my living selling real estate) You will
find three new items listed below as well as the original items listed in my
January post.

I am trying to understand the meaning behind this promisory note in the life
of my ancestor. Why did he borrow this money? What would he have done with
this amount of money in 1855? Is this enough to buy a house, bury a family
member, or other? What happened to a person if they didnt repay in those
days? Why is the loan payable to a specific person via the bank, not a loan
directly from the bank?
Any help you could provide helping me understand this document would be
appreciated, or suggestions for types

Sorry Sandy, we must have two different Joseph English's. Yours may be a
son. The LDS info indicates he had a son named Joseph b.sometime from 1645
to 1655. I don't know any more about that. I've only come across Joseph
coming to this country with his daughter and son-in-law. Good Luck.

Does anyone know which Catholic parish would be likely to have sacrament records for a family that lived in Lahaska around 1850 to 1870? I found records in Lambertville NJ for some of the family that lived in New Hope--they evidently walked across the bridge to go to church, but not for the group in Lahaska, and they married and had baptisms during this time....
thanks for any help...

HORSE HANGS HIMSELF DURING NIGHT
A valuable horse belonging to farmer William TAGERT, of near Sassamansville,
strangled himself on Tuesday night. The animal was tied as usual but in some
manner he, during the night, drew the neck strap tight and thereby strangled
himself. Mr. TAGERT only recently paid $155 for the animal. He had him insured
in the Pennsburg Mutual Horse Insurance Company for $90.

St John's was formed in 1743 and was the only Catholic Church in that area
for a long time. It has just recently built a larger church.
