Does anyone know where I can find any historical information about the No. 1 Mill in Upland? It opened in 1847 and I have several generations of Daltons who worked there. Thanks, Tina
2. "The Wedge": Francis SMITH & Robert EYRE [1]

Short, fast, straight to the point most times. Thanks for sharing the Dalton history; although it does not relate to me, it was very interesting and gave a feel for days of old :) Laurie ware@bellatlantic.net http://members.bellatlantic.net/~ware/
4. SUBJECT LINE ABUSE [1]
Many times I have opened a query that says UNSUBSCRIBE and find a query. We need to be more careful in our reply. Most times when I see UNSUBSCRIBE I just delete, but now am afraid to. Those of you sending your mail this way are losing a lot of potential help. J This goes along with putting names in Roll Call and not Roll Call. Taking a little more time and sending your query correctly will not only same those of us on several lists a lot of time, but more importantly will get you more help. Yo
5. Re: [OHMORGAN-L] SUBJECT LINE ABUSE [1]
I am sending this to all the lists I originally sent to as have had so many queries as to what would be the correct way. I never started these ROLL CALLS, but have gained things from them. Thought the following might be more explanatory. My way serves the same purpose as a ROLL CALL, but I think fits in with the purpose of the mail lists which do not allow ROLL CALL. I sure didn't envision all these questions I have been receiving from new members wondering what is correct. I am not an expert, but
6. Genealogy. Sigh. [1]
TIME TO LIGHTEN UP A LITTLE: Can a first cousin, once removed, return? Cemetery: (n) A marble orchard not to be taken for granite. Crazy.... is a relative term in MY family. Genealogy: It's all relative in the end anyway. Genealogy: Tracing yourself back to better people. I trace my family history so I will know who to blame. It's hard to be humble with ancestors like mine! Life takes it's toll. Have exact change ready! Searching for lost relatives? Win the Lottery! That's strang
7. Joshua Smith/Ann Yearsley [1]
Does anyone have information on Joshua Smith, Jr., who he married, and whether he had a son Joshua born about 1801 who married Hannah W. Broomall? I've just run across Joshua Smith, son of John Smith of Westtown, who married Lydia Yearsley, daughter of Thomas*, 1st mo, 14, 1767 at Concord Meeting. They were the parents of Joshua, Jr. The following is what I've been about to find in Early Church Records of Delaware County, Vols. 2 and 3, and Hinshaw's Index for Goshen MM: In 1776, Joshua and Lydia ha

10. Carter & Greenlawn cemeteries, Concord Rd., Feltonville [1]
Carter and Greenlawn cemeteries in Feltonville on Concord Rd: I will be in this area and can plan a walk- or drive-through of these cemeteries if you would like tombstone transcriptions. I'm finding that not all of our ancestors had tombstones, so no promises. If you'd like a photo that can be arranged as well. What I cannot do is access cemetery records. However, if you'd like to see where your ancestors are buried and this is the only way to do so, then just e-mail with some specifics and within the n
11. Re: Providence MH Cemetery [1]
There are two types of list: one which the meeting kept, and which also exists in that Monthly Meeting's records at the Friends Historical Library, Swarthmore College. It may be on microfilm only, for public access. There was a 1936 WPA project which I have mentioned on this list before; it should have information including layout. Copies exists at the Library of Congress and the Delaware County Historical Society. Lastly, I assume that you know this is still a very active Meeting. You could write di
12. Re: Delaware County cemetaries [1]
I just spent about an hour searching a cemetary, and I was so saddened by the overall condition of it. Many of the tombstones had toppled over, were broken, were lying in pieces, or were sinking into the ground. Also, I saw some that could no longer be read--the surfaces were completely worn. My question: Is there a project of any kind under way to transcribe these tombstones? Are there any kinds of copyright issues when transcribing them? For instance, if I went to a cemetary and transcribed the stones
13. Cemetery Inscriptions [1]
Dear Laurie and other listers: You are right when you say the inscriptions are worn. The main reason is acid rain which has almost literally been melting certain kinds of softer stone, like limestone. I can see the difference in some cemeteries were I copied information less than 8 years ago. So, hopefully the inscriptions have been recorded, in the WPA 1936 survey or by the local church, because by 2010 many more will be illegible. For tombstones cut before the 1960s, there is a technique us

15. Mystery Man Who Claimed to be a Grove [1]
He married in 1918 in WV using the name George William Grove. He claimed to have been born in PA in 1880. He married again in 1926 in PA using the name Walter William Wilson. Again he claimed a PA birth, but this time in 1887. I have been told by people who knew him during the period 1918-1925 that he: 1. Looked older than he claimed to be 2. Spoke with a PA Dutch accent 3. Seemed to be better educated than most people in that area of WV 4. Had a gold took in front 5. Did not displa

JODLOWSKI SKLADANOWSKI DiMEGLIO PROROCK CAMPAGNINI KOKOSZKA EPISCOPO GORAL If anyone has an interest in these surnames and would like the information (if any) that is on these headstones, I will be happy to transcribe it for you. I am planning another visit there later in January. If you have an ancestor buried in this cemetary, please give me the name(s), location (section A, B, C, etc. is sufficient), and dates if you have them. I noticed as I drove through that some names have multiple headstones.

19. F & C's HISTORY OF CHESTER CNTY [1]
p.179 (and 180) is missing from my copy of F & C's History of Chester Cnty. It carries a reference to a Francis SMITH. At first glance you may think that p.179 is a picture of the residence of James L FUTHEY and p.180 a picture of the residence of George FAUCETT but if you follow the book's protocol pages w/pictures are not numbered and if you follow the text on p.178 you will see that there is a gap and the beginnig text on p.181 does not follow thru from p.178.

21. Dating Tombstones [1]
I got the following from another list. Hope this info. clears up some graveyard mysteries for some of you. Dating Tombstones One way to help find the era your ancestor was buried is to examine the material from which the tombstone is made. If your ancestor has a stone made of slate or common fieldstone (except wood used by pioneers), chances are the stone dates from 1796-1830. * If the stone is flat-topped hard marble, dates are about 1830-1849. * If the "mystery" stone is round or pointed soft

23. Moses MENDENHALL father or brother of Margery? [1]
I thought that the father of Margery was Thomas not Moses Mendenhall. I thought that Benjamin, Moses, and Margery Martin were all siblings. This is from the Concord MM Addendum from Early Church Records of Del Co Vol 2 p 232: "Moses Mendenhall of Wiltshire, England, arrived at Philadelphia on 16th of 10th mo, 1685 aboard Unicorne, Thomas Cooper, master. Also aboard was his dau. Margery, her husband Thomas Martin, and their 4 daus: Hannah, Mary, Rachel and Sarah. Other adult children of Moses arrived w
