Mercer BROWN brn 7 JUL 1740 in Chester County and member of the Nottinham MM
in Cecil Co. MD
(son of Richard BROWN and Mary NORTON)
Mercer married a non-Quaker woman named Sarah (PIGGOTT???) in abt 1764. They
eloped.
He was removed from the Quaker church for this indescrition--but was
eventually let back in.
The Quaker records I've seen don't mention her last name...But someone sent
me info that it was PIGGOTT...
Anybody know anything about her???

Michael,
Most simmply, look at a map. Newcastle Co, DE is immediately adjacent
to Chester Co, PA. And both counties combined are probably smaller than
King Co, WA. Some of my collateral ancestors actually owned farms that
crossed the boundary. But because they are separate states, you have to
look in different repositiories for vital records, check in different
censuses, etc.

I have several ancestors buried in Unionville Cemetery in Chester County.
Where is this cemetery located, and is there a book on the cemetery? Have the
cemetery records been microfilmed? Is it still being used? If so, what is
the address where I would write for more information? Thanks for your help.

About that royal and presidential genealogical links idea; I am directly
descended several times from the Angevin kings of England and more times
from their extensive European royal relations via my mother's Old New

long! To a good extent on account of these lines. See, lines of royal

Mary,
Don't know of a source for legal terms, but the phrase mentioned by you, "by
do paid" isn't a legal term. "do" was an abbreviation meaning "ditto". In
other words, "by do paid" means paid by the same person as named in the

I'm really not sure what royal registry thing has been discussed here
recently since as I mentioned in my last post.
Here is the answer I just sent to Michael.
Chester County and New Castle County are adjacent. The four or five
southern towns of Chester County share a common history and identity
with northern New CAstle County, particularly Mill Creek Hundred and
White Clay Creek hundred, and Newark. This area belonged to Penn's
London tract. Political boundaries were superimposed on it later. The
people in that region never treated the political aboundaries as having
meaning, except when they resisted them in s
There is certainly a list of burials in the new cemetery--my father,
mother, aunt and uncle are buried there. You should be able to get either
a list or an answer re a specific burial by contacting the church
directly. If you address your request to Mr. or Mrs. Leon Wilkinson, they
should be able to help you.

I thoroughly enjoyed your web page. While scanning your "Surname" list I ran
across Ann PENNELL BIRTH: 15 Apr 1668, England DEATH: 12 Dec 1749, Dauphin
County, PA. I have a Hannah Pennell in my line Born 23 Jul 1673, Chester Co.
PA. the daughter of Robert & Hannah Hyandson. Other children of this couple
are, Elizabeth, Ann , Joseph, James, Jane, and William. I wonder if my Hannah
and your Ann are sisters. The birth dates are close enough together. Hope I
can claim connection to your ancestry!
